"Here is the Longding gold of Houshu, four pieces represent the four seasons, this is a gift from my father to Mr. Zheng, I wish Mr. Zheng a safe and healthy season!" Sheng Zitai introduced, "What is contained in this sandalwood box is Jiacuo Ding! ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Zitai deliberately didn't say any more, just looked at the torture.

The torture was stunned, he didn't know what Jiacuo Ding was, but then the letter He Yuejia wrote to Fan Meng came to his mind, in which He Yuejia wrote that he was in a village called "Jiacuo" in the middle of the mountains of Xiangxi Lin, is there a connection? Or is it just a coincidence?

And Sheng Zitai sent the dragon tripod gold and Jiacuo Ding, which is completely in line with the identity and status of Zheng Cangqiong in the three eastern provinces, in Chinese culture, the tripod is a symbol of the state and power, during the Zhou Dynasty, the monarch will cast the tripod to reward those who have made great contributions, which is the highest reward at that time, to pass on to the world.

Therefore, Sheng Zitai gave these two gifts to express his highest respect for Zheng Cangqiong, and the total value of this Longding Gold and Jiacuo Ding is not accurate at all, and he only knows that it is extremely valuable.

Everyone present waited for Zheng Cangqiong to speak, and Zheng Cangqiong was just making tea there, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Come, please make tea." ”

Sheng Zitai sat down and thanked him, raised his glass and slowly drank it down, and then Zheng Cangqiong poured two more cups, Sheng Zitai also drank them one by one, this is the rule, worship the door, worship the dock, are all such rules, if the master is not disgusted with you, you must be invited to drink tea, drink one cup means that the gentleman's friendship is as light as water, drink two cups means that good things come in pairs, if you talk about the deal, it is appropriate, when it is a win-win situation, if you drink three cups, it means that the relationship between the master and you is excellent, just like relatives.

Although he drank three cups, Zheng Cangqiong's meaning was also very clear, that is, if you come to visit relatives and friends, I welcome you, but if you come to talk about business, then I am embarrassed.

Zheng Cangqiong used this euphemistic way to directly answer Sheng Zitai's unspoken question.

Zheng Cangqiong then got up, took a closer look at the two gifts, and then said: "Longding gold is too valuable, it must be the beloved thing of the Sheng Sect Lord, I shouldn't take away people's love, I can't accept it, but I accepted this Jiacuo Ding given by Sheng Xiaogongzi, I can't refute the face of the junior, Zheng Cangqiong thanked me." ”

Sheng Zitai immediately said: "Mr. Zheng is polite, but if the old man doesn't accept this dragon tripod gold, I don't know how to explain it to my father when I go back." ”

"It's okay! I'll give him a call right now. Zheng Cangqiong said, stretched out his hand to the torture technique, the torture technique took out the phone, Zheng Cangqiong looked at Sheng Zitai again and said, "What is the phone number of the Sheng Sect Master?" ”

After Sheng Zitai said a number, Zheng Cangqiong dialed it, then walked to the window and was polite to the phone, and quickly got to the point, then said goodbye, turned to Sheng Zitai and said: "It's okay, don't worry about going back, your father won't blame you." ”

"Then I'll take my leave." Sheng Zitai bowed slightly, "Old Mr. Zheng, take care of your body, goodbye." ”

"Walk slowly." Zheng Cangqiong was full of smiles.

Sheng Zitai nodded at the Duan brothers, Duan Weiguo put down the wooden box, and then left with Duan Wei's family carrying the safety box, Sheng Zitai nodded slightly towards Zheng Cangqiong and Xingshu, and then turned around and strode away.

Zheng Cangqiong and Xingshu stood at the window, watching Sheng Zitai walk out of the gate of Youfu Hospital, get in the car and leave the distance, then turned around and sat down together.

After sitting down, Zheng Cangqiong let out a long sigh: "Your master and I, but I offended Heyumen for you, this time we are going to war." ”

Xingshu asked, "Master, what did you say to Master Sheng on the phone earlier?" ”

"Master Shengmen?" Zheng Cangqiong sneered, "That old man, I fought with him when I was young, this guy has not been a whole person in the ten years of turmoil, it is not too much to say that he has a lot of blood debts, it seems that he really can't be superstitious, I used to think that those people who died in Sheng Feng and the families of those people will curse him every day, and he will also die, but I didn't expect that he is still alive, listening to the voice and the body is still very tough, God is blind!" ”

The torture technique wondered: "Master, you have also fought with the master of the Heyu Gate?" ”

"Sort of, he's a whole person, I'm saving people, those years are broken, he went around to find what he wanted for his selfish desires, and found it, afraid that people would say it, so he took those little miscellaneous people and buttoned people's hats, not to mention, I feel terrified when I think about it now, people, they are all people, how can they be ruthless to that extent?" Zheng Cangqiong's face was full of discomfort.

Xingshu shook his head: "Master, I just want to know, what should I do next?" ”

"The first step is to know what they're going to do." Zheng Cangqiong looked at the torture technique and said, "Know yourself and know your opponent." ”

Torture nodded: "What about the second step?" ”

"The second step is to let them know what we're going to do." A smile appeared on Zheng Cangqiong's face.

Torture thought for a moment: "I understand, the third step is to let them do what we do, and lead them by the nose." ”

Zheng Cangqiong nodded: "The truth is this, but the most troublesome thing is that the purpose of this Shengfeng is not just to enter the three eastern provinces to get a piece of the pie, but to have other purposes." ”

Xingshu looked at Zheng Cangqiong: "Master, I don't understand. ”

Zheng Cangqiong turned his head to look at the Jia Cuo Ding in the box: "Jia Cuo Ding!" Don't you know about the Kocuo Temple? Jade Temple, if he can send this thing, it means that he gave me two choices, either he will enter the northeast, or help him find the Jiacuo Palace! ”

The torture technique still shook his head, he didn't know what it was called Jiacuo Hall at all.

"It's normal that you don't know, most of the people in the industry think this is a legend, in the Eastern Han Dynasty Wuling area, there is a place called Jiacuo Fort, Jiacuo is the name of the Han nationality according to the Miao people's saying, in which 'Jia' is the first in the world, and 'Cuo' refers to a small mountainous area surrounded by mountains on three sides, so far there is the word 'Cuo' in Hunan dialect, but at the same time, the word 'Cuo' also has the meaning of stopping in Chinese." Zheng Cangqiong began to make a new pot of tea again, and Xingshu knew that this meant that he had a lot to say, and he liked to drink tea with a slightly stronger taste, which could stimulate his emotions.

When boiling water, Zheng Cangqiong looked out the window and said: "The history of the Miao people has experienced several large migrations, the last migration, they went to the Wuling Mountain area, originally wanted to settle down, but later they were surrounded and suppressed by the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later some of them fled to the Xiangxi area, where they multiplied, but in order to resist foreign enemies, it is not enough to have a natural barrier in the mountains, they also need city walls, and they also need fortresses, so they built a stone city, which is Jiacuo Fort." ”

Xingshu frowned: "Master, I know that the Miao people once had a regime called 'Shangbao Ancient Kingdom' in history, and there is still a place called Shangbao Village at the junction of Hunan, Yunnan and Guizhou, which is said to be the former site of Shangbao Ancient Kingdom. Is this ancient country of Shangbao related to Kacuo Fort? ”

"Absolutely." Zheng Cangqiong nodded, "The predecessor of the ancient country of Shangbao was Jiacuo Fort, but Jiacuo Fort is just a fortress, a habitat, not a regime, and the ancient country of Shangbao was exterminated during the Ming Dynasty, and now all that remains is the ruins, let's put it this way, this Jiacuo Ding, I believe it was found in Shangbao Village, because I also found a piece of broken jade with a Chiyou pattern in Shangbao Village." ”

Torture nodded, listening carefully.

"Jiacuo Fort is just a stone city, the reason why it is easy to defend and difficult to attack is also because this castle is built along the mountain, just like the small Great Wall, there was no too powerful firearms in ancient times, it is simply impossible to capture this kind of place, the cavalry is useless, the heavy infantry can not be deployed, the archers and light infantry rush up is a live target, but the Jiacuo Fort has a natural enemy, that is, nature, and later the legend is because of the flash flood, the Jiacuo Fort was buried directly into the soil, and since then the Jiacuo Fort has disappeared, However, that is only the story of the castle on the surface, in fact, many of the stones used to build the castle are jade rough stones! Zheng Cangqiong mentioned the kettle to make tea, "In the Xiangxi area, agate, black crystal and jade, in addition to agate, black crystal and jade in the eyes of the industry are not the real sense of jade, in the world, can be called jade type of minerals have 230, and in our China, although the common jade has more than 30 hours, but belong to the high-end only jadeite and nephrite, that is, jade and Hetian jade, the rest belong to the middle and high-end, but the jade raw materials in Jiacuo Fort are not too good, but that kind of craftsmanship is not possible with modern technology, take the Jiacuo Ding in front of you as an example......"

Zheng Cangqiong picked up the Jiacuo Ding: "You see this incense burner Ding, it is the use of skillful carving technology, the parts of different colors are carved into different shapes, this is a common method in our traditional Chinese jade carving, can you see the texture of this Jiacuo Ding?" ”

Torture shook his head: "I just can't see it." ”

"Get started." Zheng Cangqiong handed the torture technique.

The torture technique was put in his hand and looked at it carefully, feeling the touch, even if he held it in Zheng Cangqiong's hand for so long, it was still a little too cold, and it did not bring the slightest temperature on the human hand, and the corresponding places on the left and right sides of the body were completely transparent, and the fingers on the fingers could be clearly seen from the right side. What's more, there are tripod lugs on the left and right sides of this Jiacuo Ding, and there are two small jade rings on the left and right sides of the tripod lugs, this kind of jade ring can not be hung up later, and it must be carved out while carving the tripod lugs, which is very labor-intensive.

After a long time, the torture technique raised its head: "Master, I really can't see it." ”

Zheng Cangqiong smiled: "I can't see normal, because this is not carved out of a piece of jade at all." ”

"Huh?" The torture technique was extremely surprised, "It's not the whole jade? It's not how can the whole jade be one! In those days, there wasn't anything to glue it together, right? ”

Zheng Cangqiong said: "In fact, only the history and production process of this Jiacuo Ding have extremely high value, and the raw materials can be said to be worthless at all, because the raw materials are ordinary hibiscus stones!" ”

When the torture technique heard this, he immediately picked it up and looked at it carefully: "Impossible, the hibiscus stone is obviously a crystal!" ”

"I'm not good at learning!" Zheng Cangqiong pointed to the torture technique, "Have you heard of Shoushan Hibiscus Stone?" There are many names in the jade gem industry are the same, but things are different, the crystal hibiscus stone you are talking about belongs to the gem class, the value is also divided into two kinds, ordinary ones are made into pendants and the like, the value is hundreds of thousands, and the hibiscus stone I am talking about is one of the three kinds of Shoushan stone, mostly as a seal stone, and Tian Huang stone, bloodstone and called the three treasures of the seal stone, mostly produced in Fujian. In 2002, at an auction in Beijing, a pair of hibiscus stone seals of Emperor Kangxi were auctioned for a high price of more than 3 million. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "But, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a hibiscus stone?" It's too transparent, so when you say hibiscus stone, my first reaction will be crystal. ”

Zheng Cangqiong took the Jiacuo Ding: "This is the green Ruotong in the hibiscus stone, which has been artificially polished, and the firing technology is also used." ”

The torture technique immediately said: "Isn't burning jade one of the ways to make jade counterfeits?" ”

The burning of jade in the art of punishment is the use of fire to burn jade, and after the fire, it becomes white when heated. It is also one of the methods of artificial dyeing jade, artificial dyeing black is divided into two kinds of lacquer dyeing and fire jade, lacquer dyeing is commonly known as "black lacquer ancient", the Qing Dynasty called "old oil", and fire jade, is to put the jade in the fire to fire to a certain extent, will produce black, this black is very close to the black jade, but it is also easy to distinguish, the real black jade is white jade with ink color, there will be a clear dividing line, black and white. The fire jade is black and white, and is prone to cracks and reticular stripes.

Zheng Cangqiong explained: "Yes, but don't forget, the craftsmen in the Jiacuo Fort, their purpose is not to make fakes, but just to study new production techniques, that is, to turn decay into magic, no, in front of you, a seasoned cargo chaser, you can't tell what kind of texture it is, plus after a thousand years, its value is immeasurable, in other words, I don't know how many such things there are in the Jiacuo Fort, even if it is a remnant, don't talk about the market value, just talk about the research value, For jade-based organizations such as the Jade Casting Society and Heyumen, they are all treasures! ”

Xingshu nodded: "I understand, but why is it called Jiacuo Palace?" ”

"Jiacuo Hall is the name given by the older generation of insiders later, and the place where the craftsmen in the Cuo Fort made jade is called Jiacuo Palace, which is a kind of honorific title, but whether this place really exists, it still needs to be verified, and it needs to be verified, I think, this is the reason why Heyumen found me." Zheng Cangqiong took a deep breath, "But in fact, their target is you, I am too old to travel long distances, they know it, and they just came to you under the banner of visiting me." ”

The torture technique was silent, and he suddenly thought, perhaps, this is the real condition that Fan Meng said, he helped Heyumen to find the Jiacuo Palace, then the Jade Casting Society would also be saved, and the entire Northeast antique business would also avoid a turmoil.

In the presidential suite of the Shangri-La Hotel on the riverbank, Sheng Zitai stood at the window, looking out of the city of Harbin from a bird's eye view, waiting for his father Sheng Feng's call, Duan Weijia stood guard at the door, and Duan Weiguo stood in the bedroom of the inner room, carefully checking whether there was a monitoring device with an instrument.

In the corridor outside, there are also several burly bodyguards - Sheng Zitai knows very well what it means to be a strong dragon and not suppress the head snake, and in the Harbin realm, you must be careful in everything.

The phone finally rang, Sheng Zitai leaned over and picked it up, and then heard Sheng Feng on the other end of the phone say: "Zitai, Zheng Cangqiong left Jiacuo Ding, it seems that he has already agreed to our conditions, and then we can start planning, we must achieve a win-win situation!" It's a win-win for us, not a win-win for us with them! ”

Sheng Zitai said: "Dad, I know how to do it, the Xu brothers have already arrived in Harbin and have been waiting for my instructions, but as expected, they were really targeted by the police." ”

Sheng Feng said: "Then let them do something, so that the police think that something is going to happen, and here, we can go to the goods according to the agreement with Fan Meng." ”

Sheng Zitai immediately asked: "Father, if you use your way, it will be difficult for the police to notice, isn't our purpose to get the police to pay attention?" ”

"Courier is the best way to go." Sheng Feng said, "The volume of goods, although the police will be targeted, but also will find us, if the volume of goods is small, the police can not find us at all, but the black market price of this batch of fakes is terrible, once the world, the police will find that they will definitely track down the receiver, then they can only find the jade casting meeting, plus the Xu brothers have arrived in Harbin, when they go to meet Fan Meng, the police will investigate Fan Meng, and then dig out the jade casting meeting, then the casting jade will never be clean, because the casting jade will not be clean in the first place!" ”

"A soldier who does not cut blood, and a soldier who surrenders without a fight." Sheng Zitai smiled and said, "Father is smart. ”

Sheng Feng said: "Of course, before this, you have to negotiate terms with Zheng Cangqiong and his apprentice torture, and then leave Harbin, even if the police find us in the future, we will come to Harbin to see Zheng Cangqiong, not to meet the people of the Jade Casting Society." ”

Sheng Zitai said: "Dad, although this person has been to a lot of places before, and he has been born and died several times, but his personality is a little eccentric, very smart, and he knows a lot of strange people, let him lead the team, I don't worry, because it is easy to let go, and it will be difficult to catch it back." ”

Sheng Feng said: "Who said there is only one team? You just wait for Zheng Cangqiong to find you, on the other side, I will arrange it. ”

Sheng Zitai immediately asked, "Dad, are you saying that several teams set off at the same time?" ”

"No, one before and one after." Sheng Feng said, "Your eldest brother is also ready, and you are also fully prepared." ”

After speaking, Sheng Feng hung up the phone, and Sheng Zitai was stunned with the phone, thinking of Sheng Feng's sentence "Your eldest brother is also ready", he didn't expect that the eldest brother who was regarded as a waste by himself would also participate in this matter.

Sheng Zitai's eldest brother, that is, Sheng Feng's eldest son is called Sheng Yutang, who is unanimously agreed by the whole family of Heyumen as the next heir of the master, and Sheng Zitai, the younger brother he has always thought is unknown, because the two have never seen their biological mother since childhood, but Sheng Feng has always said that they are brothers of the same father and mother, but Sheng Yutang and Sheng Zitai are unwilling to believe it, because the gap between the two is too big in appearance and personality.

Sheng Yutang has an outgoing and strong personality, arbitrary, and it is not too much to say that he is ruthless, in contrast, Sheng Zitai is much more feminine, hiding a knife in his smile, not only with a smile on his face, but also with a smile in his eyes, but behind the laughter, with endless killing intent.

Of course, as soon as the personalities of the two merge, it happens to be Shengfeng!
