Chapter 14 Helping Hands

Speaking of the Ba Ye in Panjiayuan in Beijing, I have to mention his life experience. Back then, with a pair of skillful hands, Ba Grandpa was also a Manchu nobleman. Ba Ye's family was originally a Han man surnamed Li, but because of the reputation of the tree in the capital, the Manchus invaded the Forbidden City and searched for skilled craftsmen. Of course, Ba Ye's ancestor became the ideal jade mason of the royal family at that time.

But Van Gou people have their own tempers, and Ba Ye's ancestor was tied up by Qing soldiers into the Forbidden City without saying a word. It would be a dream for him to make jade for the Tartars, and the angry regent Dolgon would chop him alive with his sword. That is, the words of Queen Xiaozhuang saved the ancestors of Ba Ye, Queen Xiaozhuang said: "The world should recruit talents, how can you kill innocent people!" Who else will dare to enter Beijing as an official in the future? ”

According to the situation at that time, the Han people were not allowed to enter the Forbidden City due to their low rank, but the craftsmanship of the ancestors of Ba was crowned with five states. It's a pity that this kind of talent is killed, and Queen Xiaozhuang made an exception to give the surname Ba. But the ancestor of the grandfather still didn't accept this love, and changed his surname to forget the matter of his ancestors, and he couldn't enter the ancestral hall if he died in the future. Empress Xiaozhuang didn't force him, so she relied on him to live freely in the palace. One day, Queen Xiaozhuang happened to meet the ancestor of Ba Ye while visiting the garden, and asked with a smile if he was used to it in the palace? Grandpa Ba was young and vigorous, and bluntly replied that the golden nest and silver nest were difficult to reach his own kennel, and he would rather go out of the palace and rely on his craft to eat. Queen Xiaozhuang shook her head and warned that it was actually unfilial, if it was difficult to shine on the lintel outside the palace, why not make a difference?

Grandpa Ba knew that it was hopeless for him to want to go out, and after thinking about it for three days and three nights, he finally agreed to change his surname to Ba and include it under the blue flag. Queen Xiaozhuang gave him the two girls around her as his wife and concubine, and the ancestor of Ba Ye also became the chief jade craftsman of the royal family with peace of mind. All the treasures that are paid tribute from all over the country are first seen by the ancestors of the grandfather, and when the ancestors of the Kangxi lord ascended the great treasure, the ancestors of the grandfather carved out a half-person high exquisite tower with the ice glutinous jade stone of the tribute of the Dali country. The tower is divided into nine layers, and the four doors and eight windows on each floor are carved lifelike. Even the eaves tiles on the top of each layer of the tower, the wind chimes hanging horns are clear and true. The most amazing thing is that the lamp is put on the Linglong Pagoda, and at night, five hundred Arhats can emerge to listen to the miracle of the Buddhadharma, and each figure can be seen to be a sensation in the entire government and the opposition.........

People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the children and grandchildren of the grandfather who are harmed by the artifact of the master cannot leave the palace, and almost all of them are hereditary jade masons in the court. Of course, the craft is a generation of proficient in a generation, as long as the people of the Ba Ye family are rare, they can tell you the calendar, how to use it? What to do? Close your eyes and know it, but the flowers are not red for a hundred days. In the fifteenth year of Daoguang, the Eight-Nation Alliance broke through the Forbidden City, and Lafayette escaped overnight. The palace suddenly became a mess, and some palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly fled with jewels, gold and stones......

The Forbidden City has been occupied by foreigners, where can the people in the palace run away! Most of the palace maids and eunuchs were copied from the night pearls, ivory mats, agate stones, cat's eyes, gold, silver and jade. Ba Ye's descendants were no exception, and they encountered the foreigners' musket team, and the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs were all stripped of their treasures and killed them......

That is, the ancestors of the Ba Ye family have the ability, and foreigners can't find a tael of silver inside and outside him. This annoyed the foreigners, and some of them were unwilling to even look at his belly, so they almost opened his stomach and checked his intestines. There are too many people who are called out of the palace, and the foreign devils are not willing to delay the great opportunity to make a fortune for a poor boy. After shooting at the grandfather, he went to rob others, and after the grandfather passed out for most of the day, he found a piece of clothing, wrapped up the dead and piled up a big pumpkin on the ground, and since then it has been silent.........

After the reform and opening up, the Ba family opened a Yulong Xuan in Panjiayuan, and it immediately showed its head with its superb craftsmanship. The shadow of the famous tree, the fame of the Ba family, immediately made people recognize it as the craftsmanship of the Forbidden Palace. Rumors suddenly spread, and some people said that Ba Ye was too smart to hide the baby in the pumpkin and bring it out to enrich future generations. Some people also say that the four night pearls around Lafayette were stolen out by the Ba family, and they said everything, but Ba Ye neither affirmed nor denied all kinds of rumors. After a long time, people no longer talk about the Ba family, and after more than 20 years of operation, Ba Ye is already the leader of Panjiayuan......

Not long after the sun rose early in the morning, the West Wing could smell the stench of dead snakes, and Zhao Haipeng found a rusty axe outside the dead snake in the weeds. Zhao Haipeng smiled secretly, he really couldn't find it when he was looking for it, and if he didn't want to look for it, it would come out on its own. It's better than nothing, Zhao Haipeng took the axe and went back......

After lunch, Chen Mengsheng and the three of them arrived at Panjiayuan at about three o'clock in the afternoon in Zhao Haipeng's police internal affairs car, and the door shop of Yulongxuan was at the head of Panjiayuan. Zhao Haipeng got out of the car and smacked his tongue: "Hey! I haven't been here for a few days, but everyone in Yulongxuan has invited bodyguards to look at the shop? ”

"Stop! Say what about you! Don't fucking feel uncomfortable with your master, here is our third master's bag today. Go back, fucking go back! There were two big men standing at the door of Yulong Xuan, pointing at Zhao Haipeng and scolding them.

Zhao Haipeng stretched out his hand and pushed his sunglasses and smiled: "Hey, there's a ball rolling out of the potato pile!" Where did you come from? ”

The man at the door snorted coldly, "My friend won't give Xu Sanye face!" Today, the third master chooses something for Sister Lan, you can find another place to buy things! ”

Zhao Haipeng laughed and said: "Who should I be, it's Xu San's kid!" A security guard leader of the Kui family, he dragged it to the sky with a few guns specially approved by the security company! You two dodge, let's pestle under the sun on a hot day, be careful I call Xu Sanzhang your mouth. ”

"Horizontal! Who dare you play tricks with the third master, draw a line, let's practice......" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Haipeng stepped forward, facing the fists of the two men who stood in the way, and each stretched out one hand to hold their wrists. Whether the kung fu is all depends on the shot, the two big man's hands were twisted by Zhao Haipeng and turned halfway around, and suddenly the big man fell to the ground and howled softly......

"Just such a little ability, dare to show it in front of us! Go, send a message to you Xu Laosan and say that an old friend has come to see him. Zhao Haipeng let go of the two people who were crying and kicked them a few times. The two men knew that the comer was not good, and they didn't dare to act evil anymore, so they ran into the store of Yulongxuan. Zhao Haipeng and the three of them didn't pay attention to it, and stepped straight into the one-foot-high threshold......

Zhang Ning entered Yulong Xuan and asked strangely, "Who is that Xu Sanye?" ”

"Hmph, what Xu Sanye! He was a thug foreman under Kui Jiulong, the black boss in Beijing in the early years, who opened a security company in the name of Kui Jiulong and applied for a few guns. often recruit some outsiders to do evil, and every time something happens, someone comes out to top the tank! Zhao Haipeng said disdainfully and walked in with Zhang Ning and Chen Mengsheng.

There should be several floors inside Yulong Xuan, Chen Mengsheng saw the two men running in and out, pushing open the jade screen and going to the back room. The floor of the front hall is three feet square, and it is surrounded by museum shelves of different heights and sizes. There were also two young men in shirts standing in the room, not very old, but they had been staring at Zhao Haipeng and the others. When Chen Mengsheng entered the Jade Dragon Xuan, he felt like he had arrived in the treasure pavilion of dignitaries, and the four walls were full of dazzling jade treasures.

"Hey, a few gentlemen! The jade here is precious! You are only allowed to look at it, but you are not allowed to touch it, if it is short, it is tens of millions of objects! A young man drank Chen Mengsheng.

Chen Mengsheng easily saw the jade plate he was familiar with, so he stepped forward to take a closer look, and was drunk by the people in the store, and retreated a few steps in interest. Zhao Haipeng just wanted to scold the two little guys when he heard a roar coming from the back room, and after the jade screen was opened, he saw a big fat man wearing a gold chain thicker than a dog leash and jumped out angrily.

"Which non-long-eyed Wang Ba calf dares to come to spoil the third master's temperament, is he really full and has nothing to do?" A big fat man scolded and walked in front of Zhao Haipeng and the others.

Zhao Haipeng took off his sunglasses and said with a smile: "Xu Sanye is so Yaxing!" ”

"Phew! Hey! This...... This is...... How did you speak......" The big fat man turned around and slapped the two men behind him and scolded: "You guys have dropped your eyes and gone behind your buttocks, and you don't even know Captain Zhao?" Get lost! Get back in the car for Lao Tzu, don't be embarrassed here! The two men covered their beaten faces and couldn't figure out what was going on, so they walked out of Yulong Xuan without saying a word.

"Hehe, the third master has been rich and tempered recently." Zhao Haipeng sneered.

"Hehe, Captain Zhao...... Why are you...... Captain Zhao, you're scolding me. I don't have any financial resources, and I'm not just fooling around and eating a whole mouthful. It's not a few days before Sister Lan will be on her birthday, I heard that Ba Ye has a colorful magnolia flower on hand and wants to ask Ba Ye to cut his love and sell it to me. I don't want that stubborn old man to refuse to live or die, the third master, I don't want to give money, don't you hide when you see me? Didn't this just collide with you......" Xu San looked at Zhao Haipeng with a hippie smile, but the corner of his eye kept looking at Zhang Ning and Chen Mengsheng.

At this moment, a slender man in his forties walked out of the back room, and the man's hands were really as white as onion pipes. In his hands, he kept alive two lion heads, and the lion heads had been polished into a sauce red. The thin man smiled: "The third master's words are too biased, and the magnolia flower is a rare colorful Qingtian jade." It took me and my old man three years to carve it, but the third master insisted on letting me sell it. Third master, you are forcing people to a dead end! ”

Xu San's face was embarrassed and said, "Okay, okay, okay!" Since the father and son refuse to give me face, let's see! Xu San stomped his foot fiercely and walked out.

"Come back! I have something to ask you! Do the third master of the newspaper in the past two days know what is going on? Zhao Haipeng said coldly in a low voice.

Zhao ...... Captain Zhao...... ...... Don't you be embarrassed to be a brother? Face is given by people, and face is lost by oneself. That's what I ...... I don't know, you ask someone to go......" The fat man's face was oozing with sweat.

Zhao Haipeng thrust Xu San to the wall with both hands, slowly pinched his neck and gritted his teeth: "I'm not difficult for you, you just have to tell me if Kui Jiulong did it?" Xu San gasped for breath, but he didn't speak, his face was suffocated into pig liver, but he didn't speak, and he was about to die when he saw it......

"Get out! If you don't say it, I already know! Zhao Haipeng withdrew his hand, Xu San coughed again and again, and left in embarrassment.

"These gentlemen are very angry, I don't know what to do with the trumpet?" The thin man didn't seem to have a good impression of Zhao Haipeng and the others, and it was an unceremonious eviction between the words.

Zhao Haipeng said with a smile: "You can forget how much you are, I also saw you and Old Man Ba in the early years." ”

The thin man thought for a while before saying, "Oh...... Come to think of it, you're from the criminal police team. Hehe, look at the tea in the back room. "A shrewd trader will never argue with the police, and the slender man invited Zhao Haipeng and the three into the back room. There is a pot of orchids carved from jade on the desk in the back room, and it is really difficult to see the truth if it is not made by Xu Sanyi just now.

"A master is a master, the flower color is delicate, and the buds are shy. Wonderful, really wonderful! Real flowers are nothing more than that, no wonder they are remembered. Zhang Ning blurted out.

Thousands of clothes are worn, only the sycophants are not worn, and the thin man personally brewed tea and said proudly: "The girl is really an expert, this jade embryo has seven colors such as emerald ink, white and green." Ba is just using ancestral craftsmanship to make jade come alive, and today I really want to thank the three of you. Ba Zhongyi thanked me here on behalf of my old man, it was really troublesome if you didn't drive Xu San away......"

"Well, thank you and I don't have to. We also have something to ask for here......" Zhao Haipeng just wanted to explain his intention, but there was a commotion outside. Zhao Haipeng and Ba Zhongyi were both shocked, could it be that Xu San had come to take revenge again......
