10. The Tao is affectionate but ruthless (II)

The next day was the weekend, Zhu Tong and Ye Er went out early and drove a Renault car to Suzhou Snow Park to learn painting.

In the morning, there were few cars, and it was not yet nine o'clock when Renault drove to the snow park.

Since he had already said hello last night, Mei Ye was very cooperative, first congratulating him on his successful return to China, and then praising him for his excellent medical skills, even his friends knew that there was such a young doctor in Shanghai; Incidentally, it was proposed that Director Li go to see a doctor for his friend, who suffered from back pain.

Ye'er learning to paint has always been free, and Zhu Tong was busy with it, and Mei Lao's disciple led the way out of the Broken Snow Garden to become a doctor.

Xiaguang Temple is not far from the Broken Snow Garden, a few kilometers away from the car.

It is said that Xiaguang Temple was once the first Buddhist resort in the south of the Yangtze River, there were nine floors, eighteen pavilions, seventy-two halls when it was prosperous, more than 1,200 houses, and 3,000 monks.

Of course, everyone understands that the legends about temples should be similar to the legends in folk tales, and temples with a little history will have many legends; Of course, devout believers do not dare to doubt these numerous "claims", and if they are really examined, most of them are just sayings.

For example, now Xiaguang Temple, located on the edge of Taihu Lake, is picturesque by the mountains and rivers; However, when the owner of Xiaoyun Village first came ten years ago, there were only three dilapidated halls in Xiaguang Temple, a row of decayed and collapsed monks' houses, and the courtyard wall was only a little foundation; I can't see where the so-called seventy-two halls can be built? Maybe in Taihu Lake?

Although today's Xiaguang Temple does not have the momentum of "it is said", there are still nine pavilions on the fifth floor, if you count the three halls that have just started, you can barely make up eight halls; As for the monks in the temple, there are now less than a hundred people. It's not that I can't afford it, it's because you don't need so many people to do this business. Now it is the busy season of farming, and many temporary monks have gone home to work.

Zhu Tong had heard from his senior brother that because the Buddhist affairs of the Spring Festival were done well, the two "foreign monks" invited at a high price attracted many believers to Xiaguang Temple to offer incense, which attracted enough attention from the local government.

In March, the county elected the fat man who presided over the big monk who Zhu Yun invited from Sichuan to rush the façade as a member of the CPPCC, and also named the original three halls of Xiaguang Temple as key protected cultural relics.

In April, the construction of the three halls aided by pilgrims attracted during the Spring Festival was successfully started, and the land acquisition problem, which was originally a headache, was given the green light all the way under the coordination of the CPPCC members. The fat fake monk who has always been lazy is more comfortable; In the past, he was just a bus driver who retired early because of obesity, where would he have thought that applying to be a monk would have such a scene?

There are more than a dozen fat people of the same level under Zhu Yun, and everyone will have the opportunity to exchange and rotate every year, and Xiaguang Temple is recognized as the best place for fat people to go.

After becoming a member of the CPPCC, the boss shouldn't change him to another place next year, right?

When the fat man led Zhu Tong to the apse, he had this calculation in his heart, although he knew that everything he proved was forged, and daydreaming was the prerogative of the monks; Oh, the jargon should be called Zen.

Walking to the door of the courtyard where the apse was located, the fat man bowed to the two young men guarding the door, although he was the presiding officer, he did not have the right to enter the courtyard.

Zhu Tong was ushered into the side hall, and everyone at the table stood up to greet him.

Zhu Tong went to see the female living Buddha first, her injuries were not very serious, and she was taken care of by a group of good people from Zhumen, and she should be able to recover roughly within a week.

Everyone seems to know the news of Zhu Tong's injury, and Zhu Yun has ordered a few prospective disciples to transform a wing room into an aromatherapy room, and ask Zhu Tong to give some advice.

After sitting down again, Zhu Tong and Uncle Zhu Huang sat in the upper position, the two senior brothers sat on both sides, and the Living Buddha of Suo Wenda sat in the lower hand; Cheng Hu takes care of the female living Buddha Qu Sangzhuom behind the palace.

Zhu Tong was diagnosed by his uncle and brother in turn; The ability of the Living Buddha Soonda is great enough that you can understand his situation without touching him.

It is an unconfirmed speculation that Soonda violated the most severe of the three precepts of the Zhumen. As long as no one comes to the door, as the head, Zhu Tong is ready to pretend to be confused. Who makes the hands super master?

For a long time, there was silence in the hall, and Zhu Tong clapped his hands and smiled: "What's wrong?" Aren't I very good now? As long as you don't exercise vigorously, it doesn't get in the way. ”

"People in the rivers and lakes, who can guarantee not to do it? Don't forget, Zhu Yuan is still injured. Zhu Huang looked at Zhu Tong worriedly, he really didn't know how to treat this strange poisonous injury.

"This matter, it's no problem, last night the poisonous wolf Assi was surrounded by the police, and after resisting for a long time, he committed suicide by detonating explosives. And along the way to the west of the sky and the four-poinsettia razor Zhang. In the future, Shanghai Beach will be quiet for a while. ”

Zhu Tong took out a newspaper and handed it to his uncle, which he bought on the street when he left Shanghai; The second page is a big red headline: The city's anti-drug department cracked a major drug trafficking case.

The subtitle is that the police officers of the Anti-Narcotics Department shot and killed the gun-wielding murderer and drug dealer Assi, and seized three kilograms of drugs.

In the distributed photo, Huang Hai is standing in front of Tanah Lot in a dirty police uniform, covered in gunsmoke, with a resolute and contemplative expression.

Zhu Tong talked about Jiang Xiaoyu's meeting with himself, and finally concluded: "After this incident, the four-pins and five-pins should be quiet for a while, at least there will be no major events before the Jianghu drinking party." Master said that my injuries can be healed within a year, and there is nothing to worry about. ”

"You didn't kill him, did you?" Zhu Yun asked worriedly, he was worried about the big hot wheel, for fear that the head of the sect would violate the precepts of Zhumen.

"How can it? The big steamer has found a place to hide and will not be seen around Shanghai for some time to come. ”

Zhu Tong sighed, he did regret this result. The newspaper said that a suspect jumped into the sea and disappeared, optimistically he was buried in the belly of a fish; The experts in the rivers and lakes here all understand that with Jiang Xiaoyu, who was born in a water family, the big fire wheel can't die. Maybe Jiang Xiaoyu didn't want to sacrifice the big steamer in the first place, maybe he changed his mind temporarily after receiving a call from the ruthless master, who knows?

"Jiang Xiaoyu has another purpose to get rid of the poisonous wolf Axi." Senior brother Zhu Huai, who had not spoken, spoke.

"For what purpose?"

"The poisonous wolf Assi didn't come to Shanghai just to find his younger brother this time, I heard that he mainly came for the treasures of Jiangnan."

"Where did Senior Brother get this news?" Jiang Xiaoyu also said so, but Zhu Tong didn't believe it, the poisonous wolf Axi was more like a cold-blooded killer in his impression.

"I just came from Beijing, and the news of the poisonous wolf Axi was told to me by a friend in Shanxi. There, the circles of drug trafficking and the sale of antiquities are to some extent intertwined. At the end of the month, the Southern Auction House was going to hold an auction in Shanghai, and Jiang Xiaoyu was afraid that the poisonous wolf Assi would spoil his good deeds. The jade seal given by the master will be unveiled at this auction. ”

"Tell me quickly, who is this jade seal in now?" Zhu Tong's eyes lit up with excitement, although he had not done business for more than half a year, he was really interested in the deal planned by the senior brother.

"This jade seal is called Snow Plum, and it didn't have a name when Master handed it to me two months ago, and it is a rare white-background plum blossom ...... in jade plum blossom jade."

Zhu Huai told me eloquently, the little liar doesn't need to talk about it, the second senior brother Zhu Yun and the senior uncle Zhu Huang are also the first time to hear about it, of course they are interested; Sounda also listened with relish.

In order to throw the last jade seal into the rivers and lakes, and to deal with Qu Laoyi, Zhu Huai put a lot of effort into it.

He is well versed in the rules of cultural relics, and he is strictly forbidden to be a petty liar, and he is more professional in the scams he lays.

Similar to Zhu Tong, he didn't do anything in the first month, just ran back and forth in the cultural relics market across the country; Collect information to explore the market.

Two months ago, when Mrs. Yu handed over the jade seal to him, Zhu Huai had been wandering around Taiyuan Antique City for more than ten days.

In the last week of April, Zhu Huai dressed up as a small cultural relics dealer and set up a small stall in a corner of Taiyuan Antique City to buy some real and fake gadgets.

During the May Day holiday, there are more people panning for gold in the antique market; Zhu Huai placed a pile of copper coins in the corner of the stall, among which was a rare and genuine item: a silver coin from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period.

On the afternoon of May 2, the person Zhu Huai was waiting for came, he was the deputy director of a cultural center in Taiyuan, Shanxi, in his fifties, surnamed Liu.

Zhu Huai chose him for three reasons, one is that Curator Liu likes to collect; In the past, due to being too cautious and having a small capital, I have never made a fortune with this hobby. But Director Liu has been in the cultural relics circle for more than ten years, and his eyes are very poisonous. Especially in antique projects such as ancient coins, which do not cost much for entertainment, he can be regarded as an expert.

The second is because Director Liu likes to write manuscripts for professional cultural relics magazines to make a little money, and he can win some fame, and he is an out-and-out rumor and lace news maker in the cultural relics industry.

The third and most important thing is that Director Liu knows Qu Laoyi, who once cut the queue in the countryside near Taiyuan during the Cultural Revolution; Director Liu's hobby of collecting cultural relics was completely cultivated under the influence of Qu Laoyi. Even now, there is still a connection between Director Liu and Qu Laoyi; He can be said to be a tentacle of Qu Laoyi in Taiyuan.

The big guys who are engaged in cultural relics pay attention to cultivating such friends, especially Taiyuan is a big province of cultural relics, and the antique city ranks among the top ten antique cities in the country, and Qu Laoyi has many friends here.

Director Liu began to stay at Zhuhuai's stall, Shanxi is the nest of Jin merchants, there are too many people playing copper coins, and there are not 1,000 but 500 stalls like this in the antique city.

Zhu Huai was not in a hurry, squatting behind the stall and smoking a dry tobacco pouch; He dressed up as an old man, dressed as a township cadre. Of course, it was the township cadres of 10 years ago, and the township cadres of today are basically no different from the bosses.

The first thing that caught Curator Liu's attention was the dry tobacco pouch in Zhu Huai's hand, to be exact, the jade cigarette holder.

"How much does a cigarette pouch cost?"

"This is left by my grandfather, not for sale." Zhu Huai didn't raise his eyes, paddling the stall in front of him; "You still look at whether these are eye-catching, these are collected from the countryside, I don't know how to do business and earn some hard-earned money."

"These things of yours are not worth a few dollars, I think this cigarette holder is good, I borrowed it and passed the eyes, right?" Curator Liu glanced at the things on the stall and also saw the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom silver coin; But in his experience, it was impossible for such a thing to appear in a stall.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom silver coin was issued when the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom established Nanjing, because the dynasty was only ten years from its establishment to its destruction, and the dynasty was destroyed in large quantities after it was destroyed, and very few have been handed down.

It is no wonder that Curator Liu has high eyesight, the so-called rare is expensive, and a complete Taiping silver coin in the world can be bought for more than 100,000 yuan; And all the things on this stall will not exceed 1,000 yuan when added together. He didn't know that the seemingly pedantic half-old man in front of him was the famous Zhumen elder brother; There is also a gold-eyed carving name in the cultural relics shop, and this Taiping silver coin and jade cigarette holder are genuine goods specially prepared for him as a connoisseur.

The scam culminates when Director Liu is getting more and more eager, and Jin Cicada arrives, she dresses up as a local rural peasant woman and carries her child to deliver food to her husband.
