Chapter 1067, turning the golden loach
It took three days to travel from Xiangxi to Hong Kong to Qin Kun.
It didn't work that long, and most of the time was wasted all over the South.
Boss Ding's relatives have lived on the southern coast of China for nearly a hundred years, and their ties have been close or loose for a hundred years, but they will take care of each other.
But in just 30 years, the Ding family has withered 100 relatives.
Qin Kun couldn't believe it was because they got something that didn't belong to them in the first place, because such an end was more like a curse.
In three days, Qin Kun went to visit the other six branches of the Ding family, and he had a certain number in his heart.
The Ding family has visited one after another, the older generation, the dead and wounded, the way of death is strange, a little injury can kill them, the middle-aged generation is not one in ten, and the only living few are people who have never left the ancestral hall of their relatives.
As for the younger generation, only Boss Ding is left in the Ding family.
Qin Kun, Liao Xinhu and others were walking on the street of Tuen Mun, and an elderly housekeeper came to greet them.
"Welcome, a few teachers, please here."
Boss Ding is 60 years old this year, and his son was involved in a fire fight ten years ago and died of injuries.
His grandson is sixteen years old, but things don't seem to be doing well lately. Under the leadership of the old housekeeper, Qin Kun and his entourage walked two streets to a rich man's villa area, Qin Kun looked at the villa compound and the row of luxury cars parked in the courtyard, and said suspiciously: "Don't you drive when you go out?" ”
The old housekeeper smiled bitterly: "The old man has instructed that he will not touch the means of transportation at home unless he has to." At the end of last year, the nanny died in a car accident while driving to buy things, which is the ninth person in the Ding family to die. ”
The current Ding family is like a plague god, no one wants to deal with it, except for some of the master's overseas industries and some income, the others are all cursed, and they have closed down and gone bankrupt one after another because of some things.
The villas are huge, and this residential area is more of a manor than a villa. In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, to have such a residence, you can imagine how wealthy the Ding family was in its heyday.
Under a chic western-style building, an old man was pruning flower branches, and the old housekeeper stepped forward and said to the old man, "Master, several masters are here." ”
Liao Xinhu knew the man, arched his hand and said, "Boss Ding." ”
"Master Liao, Master Zhang, Master Luo. I have repeatedly bothered you to run around for the trivial things of old decay, and it has been hard. ”
"Boss Ding is polite, this time we can bring a powerful colleague."
The old man nodded, looked at Qin Kun again, and found that it was an unfamiliar face, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Your Excellency is Master Qin, right?" ”
"Well, Boss Ding's complexion is not good, so pay more attention to rest." Qin Kun nodded, scanning the grass and trees in the manor.
"People are old, they don't know when they will die, how can they be willing to rest." Boss Ding was smiling bitterly, and his words were full of sadness and bitterness.
Qin Kun smiled and said: "Don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back, and don't plant ghosts on the side of the road to clap your hands." Boss Ding's habits are quite chic, and several kinds of ghost trees have been planted all over for you. ”
Boss Ding smiled tiredly: "There was just a feng shui bureau set up by a master before, and the master smiled when he saw it." ”
Qin Kun did smile, not only the mulberry willow poplar tree, but even the eye of the sky also saw the locust tree and bamboo, it was hard to imagine how lively it would be for five kinds of ghost trees to get together in one yard, but I accidentally found that this is indeed an excellent place for feng shui, those ghost trees are just pure yin, not evil, not filth.
Coupled with the fact that the manor is facing the sun, leading to the sea, and the air dragon on the sea is swimming in the sky, it has formed an excellent feng shui hall.
This feng shui bureau is a bit interesting, but it doesn't seem to be useful.
Boss Ding stopped what he was doing, handed the flower scissors to his subordinates, dusted off his clothes and said, "Several masters have come from afar, so please move into the house and rest for a while." ”
The house is like a palace, and it can be seen that this manor was definitely a nouveau riche level decoration style more than ten years ago, and with the passage of time, the exaggerated style has been covered with a layer of weight, so it is much more pleasing to the eye.
Boss Ding said to Qin Kun and his entourage: "Masters, take a break, I will let my subordinates clean up the room, and I will ask you to go around later." ”
After finishing speaking, Boss Ding seemed to be drained of his strength, and said in a suppressed voice: "Yesterday, my grandson almost drowned while swimming, I have had enough of this torture, our Ding family is now this single pass, all the masters, please do well, you must help me find out the reason, Ding Shihui thanked you in advance." ”
Boss Ding was scared, very afraid. After the surrounding relatives disappeared one by one, Boss Ding could feel great fear. The kind of relatives who passed away in an incredible way, when everyone's life came to an end, Boss Ding's heart was like being strangled by a rubber band, and hundreds of lives made Boss Ding's heart pinched by a big hand, he couldn't break free, and he couldn't escape.
Boss Ding's smile was gloomy, he really didn't know why things developed like this, which immortal did his Ding family offend? Why does Heaven send down such retribution?
Boss Ding was a little excited, and was helped down by the old housekeeper, and after a while, the old housekeeper walked out and said to everyone: "Teachers, please feel free to investigate." ”
Qin Kun took the lead in getting up, and the Heavenly Eye Technique broke through the barrier and walked to the northeast corner of the first floor.
It was a large room, with a 3-meter-high double-opening arch pushed open by Qin Kun, and it was like a museum, with many things on display.
Qin Kun knew that some wealthy people had a collector's habit, and many of these things were expressly forbidden to be bought and sold, but they were placed in the display case for others to see.
Qin Kun swept over one by one and saw that the exhibits were divided into three categories.
It seems that Boss Ding loves weapons, so weapons are the biggest category. There are a variety of weapons on display inside, including some unpopular weapons. In fact, some weapons made by the people do not have high collection value, which is not proportional to the difficulty of their maintenance. Those weapons are extremely difficult to maintain and do not have high collection value, and they have become the cheapest type of collection in the exhibition hall.
The second category is some ship models, Qin Kun was born in the south and is no stranger to ships.
Whether it's a boat or a boat, you have a general idea of what kind of structure it is.
But the model ship in the display case is much more complex than you know.
Ship!
This is Qin Kun's most intuitive impression, and the ship models in the display cabinet are all models of sea ships.
The three-masted big ship, much the same, Qin Kun's gaze swept over those ship models, admiring the exquisite construction, while his gaze stayed on the third type of collection.
Jade. A lot of jade objects are placed in the display case, and there are many dazzling dishes. In addition to those jades, Qin Kun also saw some rare treasures, such as coral, gold and silverware, porcelain, etc., although it didn't look very beautiful, Qin Kun was still a little surprised.
Each of these things is worth a lot of money, let alone owning one, even if you see it, you may not be able to see it, but now it has all become Boss Ding's personal collection.
Qin Kun paced in front, and Liao Xinhu followed. Qin Kun stared at a fiery coral, turned his head to look at the old housekeeper who accompanied him and asked, "Dare to ask what business Boss Ding used to have?"
The old butler hesitated a little: "Does Master Qin have to ask?" ”
"It's okay if you don't answer, but I think the reason why the Ding family suffered this catastrophe should be related to Boss Ding's business."
The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "The ancestors of the Ding family were pearl divers, and when they reached the master's generation, they were salvage teams, and they did do some shady business when they were young, but that has passed." And our boss didn't kill anyone, and this is something else that another master can testify to. ”
Salvage team?
Qin Kun was curious: "These collections, aren't they treasures that Boss Ding fished up?" ”
This kind of question has already crossed the line, the housekeeper's expression is embarrassed, he doesn't want to answer this question, but he finds that Qin Kun's eyes are very sharp.
"Yes!"
After a stalemate for a while, Boss Ding suddenly appeared at the door and replied categorically, "When I was young, others called me 'turning the golden loach', and most of these things were private goods that I hid." Is there anything else Master Qin would like to ask? ”
Flip gold loach?
This nickname is a bit interesting, the Ding family was born in pearl diving, this guy's water nature is naturally extremely strong, and the family heirloom skills will also be passed down from generation to generation, no wonder he overreacted to the fact that his grandson almost drowned.
"The nickname is good, it's just that a loach, why do you covet the things of the dragon king?"
Boss Ding was slightly stunned: "What do you mean by Master Qin's words?" ”
