Bei Qin's face, who was still smiling just now, changed suddenly, and Gu Xiaoqian also showed a frightened expression, "What the hell is this?" ”

Bei Qin didn't answer, but his expression was very grim, and Gu Xiaoqian rarely saw him show such an expression.

Pei Qin raised his eyes and looked around, "This guy is approaching!" As he spoke, his men waved their hands, "Quick! Speed up, everyone pay attention to the surrounding vigilance, and whistle the alarm as soon as there is an abnormality. ”

"Got it, Xiao Beiye." These are all guys who have been with Bei Qin for many years, and they have a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Bei Qin stretched out his hand and grabbed Gu Xiaoqian, "Let's go!" ”

Gu Xiaoqian was dragged away by him, and asked eagerly, "What the hell is this?" Why are you so nervous? ”

"This is the roar of a beast, Miss!" Bei Qin rolled his eyes, "Can I not be nervous!" ”

"You don't come," Gu Xiaoqian glanced at him, "I know that you all have guys under you, not to mention ordinary beasts, even black bears and tigers, I'm afraid one or two are not a problem, right?!" ”

Bei Qin hesitated for a moment and didn't speak, and the guy after the break said to him through the walkie-talkie: "Little Bei Ye, that thing has lost its trace, it should have gone away." ”

"Okay, got it." Bei Qin picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, "You guys come back quickly, let's get out of this forest as soon as possible." Walk upstream along the Manshui River! ”

The atmosphere was slightly lighter than before, and the group traced up the riverbank.

Gu Xiaoqian stepped forward and grabbed Bei Qin, "Hey, you haven't answered my question yet?" ”

"What's the problem?" Bei Qin looked at her blankly.

"You don't pretend," Gu Xiaoqian glared, "What the hell was the thing you were yelling at just now, I knew what you must know by looking at your expression!" ”

Bei Qin smiled helplessly as he walked forward quickly, and pondered for a moment before he spoke: "A few years ago, when the fourth uncle had not yet had cerebral thrombosis, we found a Zhenguo Ancestral Hall near the wetland in Sihong County, Jiangsu......"

Three years ago, Pei Qin drove his fourth uncle on the highway.

The fourth uncle, who was sitting in the back seat, said to him: "Xiaobei, although you are from the outer gate, you can be regarded as one of the best among the younger generation. Therefore, it is also very possible to be in charge of the family business in the future, and this time I asked the head of the family to take you out to inspect the business, which also means this. ”

Bei Qin smiled, "Fourth uncle, I didn't dare to think about it so much, I'm quite content if I can help." Besides, I'm used to being free, and I don't have that much patience to manage these family affairs. It's more justifiable to let an inner disciple like Gu Mingzhe and them take care of it. ”

"Hmph," the fourth uncle sneered, "Xiaobei, you kid is a slippery head, you know that Gu Hai and Gu Mingzhe, the two fathers and sons, are not compatible with the family. Okay, let's not talk about that, this time you learn more about how the family business works, and it will be good for you. ”

"Gotcha!" Bei Qin nodded, "I'll listen to the arrangement." ”

Pei Qin and the fourth uncle came to Jiangsu according to the original plan, and went to each city one by one to inspect the shops of the ancient family.

Five days later, when they arrived in Huai'an City, when they were about to reach the door of the shop, they saw that the shopkeeper was pushing out a man covered in mud, "Oh, we don't accept this, you can leave quickly." ”

The other party was holding a cloth bag in his arms, but he was still a little unwilling, "I said that the shopkeeper, you take a look at it, this is really a good thing, I dug it out of the mud." ”

"A broken stone is really not worth much." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he turned around and walked back to the store.

Looking at the closed door, the man muttered helplessly, "Really, I don't know if I understand it or not." Then turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute," the fourth uncle raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped him.

The man turned around and looked at the two men strangely, "You called me?" ”

The fourth uncle nodded, "This friend, can you show me the things in your bag." ”

"What for?" The man was subconsciously a little vigilant, "Do you buy it?" ”

"As long as it's good, I'll buy it!" The fourth uncle said with a smile.

The man looked down and pondered, "That's fine! So saying, he opened the cloth bag, revealing a round stone with a lot of yellow-green water on it.

The fourth uncle took it and looked at it, and then handed it to Bei Qin, "Look at this." ”

Bei Qin took the stone in his hand, and soon noticed some carved lines that were not too obvious, he looked carefully, and looked up at the fourth uncle with some surprise, "This seems to be the Spring and Autumn ......"

The fourth uncle nodded quietly, and then said to the man, "What do you call a friend?" ”

"My surname is Chen." As he spoke, he took the stone back from Betsin's hand.

"Lao Chen, you can go in with me." The fourth uncle said and pushed open the door of the store.

"You are?" Lao Chen was a little surprised.

Bei Qin patted him, "This is the owner of this shop." ”

"Oh," Lao Chen nodded abruptly, and followed the fourth uncle and Bei Qin in.

When the shopkeeper saw that someone had come in, he hurriedly greeted him. As soon as he saw that it was the fourth uncle who came in, he immediately smiled all over his face, "Fourth uncle? You're here! Are you visiting the store? You make a call, and I'll go out to meet you early! Hurry inside please! ”

The fourth uncle didn't move, but waved his finger at Bei Qin, "This is Xiao Bei Ye, and now he is the henchman of the big boss." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly gave his hand to Bei Qin, he knew that a disciple of the outer sect who was not surnamed Gu could become the henchman of the big boss, this person was absolutely extraordinary, so he didn't dare to slack off, "It turned out to be Xiao Bei Ye, look up for a long time!" ”

Bei Qin bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "You're polite! But in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly complain, he was said to be the henchman of the family, and he must have become the opposite of Gu Hai and Gu Mingzhe's father and son, although Bei Qin was not afraid of being an enemy of anyone, and in his heart, he also tended to be in charge, but this kind of family struggle was very troublesome, and he was really too lazy to deal with it. The fourth uncle is in charge of the family, and what he said just now was obviously forcibly pulling himself in.

But if you think about it, there is no way to do it, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to stay out of this kind of thing. Quickly accept the status quo, which is also one of the advantages of Beiqin.

The shopkeeper saw the old Wang behind them, and couldn't help frowning, "Hey, why did you come in again?" Didn't you say you wouldn't accept it? ”

Lao Chen just wanted to speak, but the fourth uncle spoke first: "Have you seen this thing?" ”

"I've seen it, that thing has no value." The shopkeeper said very simply, "The quality is not good, the craftsmanship is not good, is there any source." ”

"Hmph," the fourth uncle snorted coldly, "this is the meaning of needing the family to patrol the store." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that the tone was wrong, he hurriedly asked: "Fourth uncle, is there something wrong with me, please give me advice!" ”

The fourth uncle glanced at Bei Qin, "Xiaobei, tell me." ”

Pei Qin smiled, "I think the focus is not on the thing itself, but on what is behind it. ”

"Hmm!" The fourth uncle nodded approvingly, and then looked at the shopkeeper coldly, "Understood?" ”

"This ......" shopkeeper still seems to be a little confused.

"Forget it," Bei Qin said loudly, "You can't blame the shopkeeper for this, after all, they are doing business, not craft." ”

The fourth uncle nodded slightly, and then gestured to the shopkeeper, "Take this thing away." ”

The shopkeeper nodded busily, and then said to Lao Chen: "This old brother, I'm sorry just now, let's talk about the price, please come inside with me." Lao Chen followed the shopkeeper into the inner room.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Bei Qin walked to the side of the fourth uncle and said softly: "That thing just now is a stone carving on the roof beam in the Spring and Autumn Period, do you think there is something down there?" ”

The fourth uncle nodded, "The business has to be done, the craft has to be done, if you don't know, forget it, you have to figure it out when you know." ”

While the two were talking, Lao Chen walked out of it, but the cloth bag in his arms was empty, obviously the business was negotiated. Bei Qin glanced at the shopkeeper behind Lao Chen, and the shopkeeper reached out and gestured four fingers.

The fourth uncle and Pei Qin knew it when they saw it. The fourth uncle smiled and said to Lao Chen: "This friend, let's not fight or make a deal, dare to ask where is home?" ”

Lao Chen just got a sum of money, his heart was comfortable, and he told his own affairs clearly with a smile.

Pei Qin secretly made a note of it, thinking about his next move.
