Chapter 9 Rhino Horn Cup with Lotus Leaf (1)

"Sister Xiao, why are you in such a hurry with me?"

This walk is more than a week, probably even I feel a little embarrassed, after coming back in the past few days, Wang Dong has been much more active in the base, changing into a training vest and trousers, and practicing is also like a tiger, but after receiving a call from Xiao Ling, I know that she has actually come to the gate of the base.

Xiao Ling showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and then said a little anxiously: "Wang Dong, I can't help it, that's why I came to you, aren't you a policeman, can you go to a place with me later?" ”

Belch...... This sounded like things were a bit complicated, Wang Dong smiled and said: "Sister Xiao, don't worry, explain it in advance, although I am a policeman, I am not a hooligan, looking at your posture, it is like asking me to rob something with you." ”

"It's just going to rob ...... Oh no, you see I'm all mad, I'm going to get back a family heirloom from my family. Now Xiao Ling is so angry that he can't even speak.

A family heirloom? Coming back?

Wang Dong was also dumbfounded, the heirloom of her family was not in her home, and she actually had to let herself go with her to come back, what the hell is going on.

"Sister Xiao, don't worry, you explain to me in advance, what is going on, how can your family's heirloom fall into the hands of outsiders? Why do you have to ask the police? Wouldn't it be faster to call the police directly? Wang used the question marks in his mind and asked them one by one.

"Alas......" Xiao Ling let out a long sigh, and then slowly talked to Wang Dong about the source of the matter.

Xiao Ling's ancestral home is in Yanjing, her parents used to be professors in a university in Yanjing, the old couple retired a few years ago, and originally planned to spend their old age in Yanjing, but in recent years, the air quality in Yanjing is really poor, and the sun cannot be seen for half a year all year round, and the masks and hats must be fully armed when they go out.

The two of them pondered like this, so they simply learned from those old friends and went to the coastal city in the south to buy a house, where the house is not as expensive as Yanjing, and there is still a few million dollars left after selling this place to buy one there.

The old couple made up their minds, and went directly to the coastal city in the south, not to mention, although the weather is hot, but the air has a humid smell, not hot at all, and the city is new, the degree of greening is more satisfactory to the old couple, and they will simply move their home here.

Just when the old couple discussed it and decided to move there, something still happened, not because of anything else, but because someone in the family disagreed.

This person is not Xiao Ling, after all, she and her husband have a good salary, and there is not much financial pressure, but the person who does not agree to move is Xiao Ling's brother Xiao Jian, and the idea he put forward is also very clear, this house will belong to him in the future, you move your family to the south, what should I do?

So no matter who explains, Xiao Jian is a reason, and he doesn't agree.

The eldest son disagreed, and the old couple understood, after all, Yanjing's house was expensive, and although it was smaller, it was not a problem to sell it for a few million, but now the problem is that if you don't sell your house, you can't afford to buy a house in the south, and you can't think about taking out a loan at your current age, so the old couple has no choice but to gradually extinguish their dream.

The wife is willing to leave the house to his son, but the old man is a little unwilling, he has worked hard all his life, and in the end he can't even find a place to spend his old age in peace, but his son's request for the house is not unreasonable, what can I do?

Hey, thinking of this, the old man suddenly thought of the treasures in his house, and wondered if he would be able to afford a big house in the south if he sold this pair of treasures?

The old man's treasure is a pair, called the 'Lotus Leaf Rhino Horn Cup'.

Don't underestimate this pair of rhino horn cups, this is something handed down by the ancestors of the older generation, the cup is very large, the diameter of the cup mouth is about 18 centimeters, and the height is about 18 centimeters, the bottom is oval, the widest point is seven centimeters, and the whole cup is as much as 1,200 grams.

The main body of the cup is a large lotus leaf, the color is brown and red, and it smells like a unique fragrance of rhinoceros horn, and the most surprising thing is that this cup is not one, but a pair, and the two cups are exactly the same even the carvings on them.

One gram of horn and two taels of gold, if calculated at this price, these two cups alone can be worth about eight or nine hundred thousand, plus this carving, the old man feels that how can he value five or six million for this pair of treasures.

As long as you sell the cup, won't you have money, and when the time comes, you and your wife will have a big house, and you will have money for the elderly, how good it should be.

Although the idea is very good, the old man also understands in his heart that there are many scammers in society now, and there are many scammers who deceive people in the name of collecting antiques, and they don't even look at your things, and directly ask you for an appraisal fee, more or less.

The old man doesn't care about the appraisal fee, but he is afraid that after the payment is completed, the other party will disappear, otherwise he will change another excuse to continue to let you pay the money.

After being deceived many times, the old man was naturally vigilant, and after thinking about it, he took a photo of his two rhino horn cups, and then hung them on the Internet, which was clearly written, a pair of rhino horn cups in the Song Dynasty.

The old man felt that he thought of this method was good, so he honestly waited at home, you really don't say, the next day after the picture was hung on the Internet, someone called him, but most of the calls are the same meaning, that is, I fancy your cup, but there are still some doubts about the authenticity of the picture, can you pay some appraisal fee or deposit first, and then I will verify it, if it is true, I will return the money to you.

For this kind of little trick, the old man is already poisonous, and when he heard this, he didn't even say anything, so he hung up the phone directly, and the other party's mobile phone was blocked, and there was no way to deceive himself.

Speaking of this, Wang Dong couldn't help but say with some emotion: "Most of the targets of scammers now are these elderly people, as long as they say how good their things are, there will be old people who will be fooled, and they will go to the police after being fooled, but the police are not immortals, one of you is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, except for mediation, you have no way to think about it, but there are really not many people like your old man, which is worth affirming." ”

"Definitely?" Xiao Ling asked rhetorically, and then said helplessly: "No matter how vigilant he is, he can't stand the many ways of liars." ”
