Chapter 6: Confrontation with the Willow Camp (2)
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Use the adjusted glaze juice to apply the defects on the surface of the utensils, roast them in the kiln, and they can be mended when they come out, and even the opening texture can be imitated. However, this kind of craftsmanship is only suitable for monochrome porcelain, and it cannot smooth out the traces of glaze connection, and there will always be a scar. Like the glaze of blue and white porcelain, if it is scraped open, it will never be restored to new condition.
Yin Hong glanced at me meaningfully: "It's absolutely not possible. There is still a kind of baked porcelain craft in this world, which can open the glazed capsule and repair it seamlessly, that is, 'Flying Bridge Dengxian'. β
"Huh?" I was stunned, isn't "Flying Bridge Dengxian" a craft of using gold and silver to make porcelain?
Since he said it, Yin Hong was no longer taboo and explained to me. It turns out that this "flying bridge to immortal" does not refer to a specific process, but a technique. Let the baking craftsman rely on his wrist strength to control the direction of the glaze paste or gold and silver liquid, and accurately cover the specified position in a very short time, which can not only be inlaid with gold and silver, but also open the glaze and fill the glaze, leaving no traces.
This is like painting a wall, you apply it brush by brush, and no matter how evenly you paint it, you can see the brush marks. But if you just splash a bucket of paint on it, and you can control the paint to cover the entire wall, it will be as smooth as a mirror.
After saying this, Yin Hong picked up the porcelain piece and said: "'Flying Bridge Dengxian' has only one drawback, it must use a material. And this material, when in contact with theophylline, will turn yellow. Therefore, this technique can only not be used to make up tea sets. Look? β
After saying that, he handed me the porcelain piece and gestured with his eyes. I remember that he had just soaked the porcelain pieces in the tea, and I quickly took them to look at them, and sure enough, they were slightly yellowish at the bottom of the white mouth ditch.
When I saw this, my heart shook. This conclusive yellow mark shows that the five jars were indeed opened by someone using the technique of "flying bridge to ascend to immortals", and then repaired almost perfectly. The reason why it is said to be almost perfect is because there is still a white mouth that cannot be hidden. So they also took the trouble to sprinkle silver powder nearby, disguised as the calcified skin of the crispy bones.
"In addition to the Yin family and Yao Shenxing, will anyone else use this unique skill?"
"Impossible, this is the secret of the Yin family."
I closed my eyes and leaned back on the bench in thought. Could it be ...... Yao Shenxing's last bizarre trip to the north was related to this porcelain jar? The others did not come back, but they sent back the undersea needle that belonged to Xu Yicheng, and this incident was not long after the Jade Buddha head case. So is there a relationship between my grandfather and five cans?
The most important thing is that the old court's eagerness to send Liu Chengqian to Shaoxing to find the heir of the "Flying Bridge Dengxian" shows that he values the secrets hidden in the five jars. He knew that only Yin Hong knew this trick in the whole of China now, and he was the only key to unlock this secret.
One click to break, the whole situation is clear. One by one, I gradually put it together, lighting up a clear path in the fog in front of me, and the picture became clearer and clearer. The medicine is not right, only the clues dug out by yourself are truly trustworthy. I'm afraid that the old courtier didn't expect that I would smash his walls inch by inch and attack his castle in a place he didn't know.
The next thing to do, it's clear. What the enemy desperately wants, I must do my best to obstruct. As long as I control Yin Hong first, I can get back a little bit from the extreme disadvantage.
Now, it's finally time to turn the tide of the battle, and I'm going to start the counteroffensive!
I took the fragment back from Yin Hong's hand and got up from the church bench, full of awe-inspiring trembling spirit. Yin Hong half-leaned back in his chair, exhausted: "I know, I've already told you, you can go, right?" β
"Mo Wishing is still in Liu Chengxuan's hands, I can't let more innocent people be implicated. You've got to help me get her out. β
"It's none of mine." Yin Hong flatly refused.
I walked to the pulpit with my hands behind my back, looked up at the cross, turned to him and said, "The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, even if I leave now, will they let you go?" From the moment they step into your shop, you're doomed to no peace unless they succeed or defeat them. β
"They...... I don't know if I'm here......" Yin Hong's face changed.
I laughed and said, "Do you want to take a gamble?" In a quarter of an hour, if they find this church, even if I win, you must follow me; If no one comes to the door, you win, and I will save people myself. β
Yin Hong thought about it for a long time, and felt that the chances of winning were relatively large, so he agreed. I pulled his sleeve and hid behind the pulpit. The wooden platform was tall and wide enough for the two of us to crouch down and hide inside, and the thick flannel curtain was so close that it was almost impossible to see.
It wasn't long before the creak of the door being pushed open was heard outside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps slamming on the wooden floor. The sound of footsteps circled around the church, and just as he was about to jump onto the holy table, another frightened voice came: "What are you doing here?" β
That voice should be the priest of this church. The footsteps immediately stopped, and the person who came asked in a vicious tone, "Has anyone been here just now?" "I can make out his voice, it should be another of Liu Chengxuan's subordinates. The priest angrily rebuked: "This is a holy place, you must leave quickly, or I will call the police." β
At this time, Liu Chengxuan's voice sounded, still so polite: "Please forgive the priest, I'm just here to find two friends, I'm a little anxious." There is no intentional blasphemy. The Gospel of Matthew says: "If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive your trespasses." Thank you for your understanding. The priest listened to him quote a Bible and his attitude was relatively kind: "I don't see anyone coming in, and even if there is, you have to go outside and solve it, don't mess around in the church." β
Liu Chengqi's voice raised slightly: "If you see Silversmith Yin, Father, you might as well tell me that we will set up a banquet in the Xianyun Pavilion of Shen Garden, and Miss Mo will accompany you, don't delay the time and live up to the beautiful scenery of this good day." β
He didn't stay long, and immediately turned and left. The priest prayed a few words to the cross, and suddenly found his teacup on the bench. He was a little baffled, could it be that he forgot to put it back in the preparation room? He picked up the cup and took a sip, nothing out of the ordinary, shook his head, and walked out with it in his hand.
The two of us came out of the pulpit, and I looked at him, and the meaning was clear, you lost the bet.
Yin Hong was indescribably frustrated and asked me how I knew they would come. I shrugged: "People who play antiques have very sharp eyes. As soon as I entered the house, I found that there was a cross hanging in your hall, and there was a statue of the Virgin, whether it was the boss of Lan Jizhai or Liu Chengxuan, they would not ignore this detail. Liu Chengqian was standing on the top of the Bazi Bridge just now, for nothing else, looking for the spire of the nearby church from a high perspective - if he can't even do this, how can he be the sharp knife of the old court? β
When Yin Hong heard this, he suddenly realized. I looked at the door and suddenly sighed, "And I suspect that he has already discovered us." It's just that there is a priest here, so it's inconvenient to do it. I pointed to the water stains in the hallway, which were dripping from my wet clothes as I entered.
"What he said just now, ostensibly for the priest, was actually meant to be said to us. Let us know that if we don't make a wish in their hands, if we don't go to the feast, I'm afraid she will risk her life. β
When Yin Hong heard this, he couldn't stop sighing. He was but a timid citizen, and he was so reluctant that I had to face such a terrible enemy. I grabbed his shoulders and said in a fierce voice: "Lao Yin, you two generations have lived in seclusion in Shaoxing, I admire him, and I don't want to disturb your life." But you know the unique skill of 'flying bridge to ascend to immortals', this is the guilt of cherishing it, and the enemy will not understand your suffering. Now that the war has begun, if you don't fight back, you will only be eaten by them, and there will be no bones left. β
"Yes...... But who are they? β
"The enemy of the five veins, the enemy of my grandfather Xu Yicheng and your grandfather Yao Shenxing." I can only say this, if it is the old court, the chief black hand behind the scenes of fake antiques in the country, I am afraid that Yin Silversmith would have been scared away a long time ago.
At the mention of medicine prudence, Yin Hong finally regained a little courage.
"So now, you can't back down, you have to join forces with me to have a chance to live." I dragged him out. For people with this temperament, instead of consulting with him, it is better to make decisions for him domineeringly.
"Really go to Shen Yuan?" Yin Hong said timidly.
"Yes, let me show you how powerful the Hosoliu Camp is." My eyes burned.
If I want to escape the pursuit of the Hosoyanagi Battalion, I have many options. Even if I consider the safety of Mo Xu, I am sure that I will leave with my whole body. But that's too negative, and I wish it could have been a little more positive. The Willow Camp is dangerous, but it is the only clue that can lead me to the old court.
I've always been chased by the old courtiers, and now it's their turn to suffer.
Shaoxing, in addition to Lu Xun's former residence, is the most famous place to belong to the Shen Garden in Chunbo Lane. This was originally the private garden of a wealthy businessman surnamed Shen in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the most famous deeds are the love story of Lu You and Tang Wan'er. When Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan'er got married, the husband and wife fell in love, but they were forced to divorce because of their mother's opposition. Ten years later, when Lu You traveled to Shen Garden, he met Tang Wan'er again, the two looked at each other without saying a word, Lu You filled in a song "Hairpin Phoenix" to send lovesickness helplessly, Tang Wan'er finished reading melancholy, and also filled in a song "Hairpin Phoenix" before her death, which became a representative work of eternal poignant. Lu You revisited Shen Garden in his 70s and wrote "Shen Garden Two Songs", which still remembers that year and has become a lifelong knot.
Nowadays, Shen Garden has been renovated and turned into a heritage park open to the public, and citizens and tourists can enter and visit. Liu Chengqian chose to meet here, which was too fearless. When the two of us arrived at the garden, it was already waning, and the tourists went out in twos and threes, and it was time for the park to close.
"Why don't you call the police......" Yin Hong was still hesitating, he shrank his hands and feet, as if he was going to hell.
I shook my head and said, "It's useless, Liu Chengqian didn't say anything threatening from beginning to end." Miss Mo is probably still in the dark, not knowing that she is in danger. Call the police, how do you tell them? The cunning thing about the Hosoyanagi camp is that usually they will skillfully step on the legal line, so that you can't catch the flaw, and once they feel the need to make a move, they will not hesitate. β
Although I had only been in contact with the Willow Camp once, the smell of tomb robbing allowed me to understand the style of these people.
Yin Hong and I entered the Shen Garden, had no intention of admiring the exquisite gardens around us, and went straight to the North Garden. There is a gourd pond and a rockery of Taihu stone, which is a real relic of the Song Dynasty. There is an antique Xianyun Pavilion on the rockery, and Liu Chengqian is waiting for us there.
Under the rockery, there are several strong men with unkind faces guarding them. As soon as he saw us coming, he immediately gathered over, and one of them, a big man of more than 1.8 meters, with bulging muscles under the suit, stopped me: "The person you injured in the afternoon is my brother, and he is still in the hospital." β
"And then?" I asked coldly.
"Wait, little cub, my name is the Dragon King, and sooner or later I will kill you." His eyes were fierce, but he didn't reach out to hit anyone. On the contrary, Yin Hong was glared at by him, his legs weakened, and he almost fell down the steps.
We walked up to the rockery and saw that in the Xianyun Pavilion, Liu Chengqian was talking and laughing with Mo Xu, and on the stone table in front of them, there was a Yixing purple clay pot and four delicate pastel tea bowls, as well as a few plates of melon seeds and peanuts.
With a smile on my face, I calmly stepped into the pavilion. Yin Hong was reluctant, but I pulled his sleeve and had to step in. Mo Xu Yuan turned his head and saw that it was us, and excitedly shouted, "Yin silversmith? Wish? β
When she shouted, my brain buzzed, and my whole body was cold. I forgot to mention my real name to Mo Xuyuan, I just thought it was a slightly romantic little coincidence, but now that I think about it, it is pure death.
Liu Chengqian has never met me, but he must know the name of "Make a Wish". was shouted out by her so directly on the spot, all my follow-up plans will be in vain, and I will die before I can leave the school.
Sure enough, Liu Chengxuan's movements froze, and suspicion rose in his eyes. My mind raced, laughed, and said loudly to Mo Wish: "Yin Silversmith, don't make a wish, Yin Silversmith, don't make a wish, no matter who your name is followed by, it has a bit of meaningβby the way, why did you come here?" β
Mo Xuyuan glanced at Liu Chengxuan a little shyly: "Didn't you meet Mr. Liu?" He also came to play, saying that he was very familiar with Yin's silversmith, and he also made an appointment to have dinner in Shen Yuan. I'm here to eat. β
The doubts in Liu Chengshuang's eyes subsided a little. I secretly called it a fluke, but fortunately this girl had the same name as me, and she finally got through the trick. Yin Hong didn't have such good acting skills as mine, he smiled reluctantly with a sad face, and no longer spoke, but his forehead was full of sweat.
We sat across from the stone table. Liu Chengqian diligently filled the teacup, with elegant gestures and a calm posture, quite a bit of the bearing of the son of a big family in the old society. Mo Xu Yuan watched from the side, and his eyes were shining again.
After this pass was completed, Liu Chengqian said slowly: "Teacher Yin's unique skill, the younger generation appreciates it very much. The inheritance of the older generation of craftsmen can't just be broken, why don't you make a price? β
His words were earnest, and his expression was sincere, as if there had never been a face-splitting fight in the afternoon. Yin Hong glanced at me timidly, and I cleared my throat: "Teacher Yin's matter has been fully authorized to me to deal with it." β
"Oh?" Liu Chengqian raised his eyebrows, "Then what is Your Excellency's opinion?" β
I glanced at Mo Wish: "Adults talk, children don't get involved, right?" Now that we're here, she's going to hurry home, but there's still a curfew at home. β
I said this to save her from danger as soon as possible, and secondly, I was afraid that the girl would call out my name again at the banquet, but it would be all over. Timing**, you have to rule it out early. Liu Chengqian hadn't expressed his position yet, but Mo made a wish but was not happy, and said angrily: "Why are you like this? I was invited by Mr. Liu, and I am not the guest of your wish! Why don't you let me go, I'm going to stay here! β
I secretly screamed badly, and quickly answered: "Yes, I made a wish to invite you to a meal." It's too late today, so there's no hurry to eat another day. β
I smiled bitterly in my heart, this girl didn't know that I was saving her. If she continued to say this, the round field alone would tire me to death. Seeing that Mo Xu'e raised his eyebrows, at this time, Yin Silversmith stood up unexpectedly and scolded viciously in Shaoxing dialect.
I don't understand that, but I guess it's ugly. I saw that Mo Xuyuan was so angry that his cheeks were pink, his eyes were full of tears, and his little lips trembled slightly, which was really angry. She looked at Liu Chengxuan, hoping that the empathetic big brother could say something.
But Liu Chengqian sat there steadily, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, without commenting. For him, as long as Silversmith Yin and I are in our hands, it is useless to make a wish.
Mo Xu Yuan looked at Liu Gongzi, who was still laughing just now, but turned a deaf ear to what happened to her, and couldn't help but burst into tears. She bit her lip, pulled the lotus bamboo headdress off her head, threw it at the silver smith, then stomped her foot, turned around and ran down the rockery, and there was a whimpering sound in the distance.
As soon as Mo made a wish and left, my heart relaxed a little. Liu Chengqian picked up the purple clay pot and poured a new cup for the two of us.
The spout was ordered three times. This is called Yufengsan nodding, which is a method only used in Fujian to entertain VIPs, but when he pours tea, his index finger is pressed on his thumb, and the meaning has completely changed, and it has become another name, called retreating and retreating. This means that he has backed down to the limit and will not make any concessions. Expressing it in the way of pouring tea is more tactful than saying it directly, so that the scene is not too stiff.
Liu Chengqian did this to show us his attitude, and this time he is determined to win.
In the face of his handsome smiling face, I felt an indescribable disgust. Liu Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked, "By the way, although I have a relationship in the afternoon, I haven't asked your Excellency for your name yet." β
"Wang Huaixu." I used a pseudonym in Weihui. In front of Liu Chengxuan, I didn't dare to disclose my identity.
"Oh, Mr. Wang. I heard the people of Lan Jizhai say, you went to Yin Silversmith to learn the technique of baking porcelain? β
I didn't follow his words, the most important thing in negotiations is not to be led by the nose. I said bluntly: "Mr. Yin Hong now has carte blanche to handle this matter, and I hope to reach a fair cooperation with you." β
"Cooperation?"
Liu Chengqian laughed, as if listening to a very funny joke: "This matter is a bit troublesome, you don't seem to have a position to talk about cooperation, right?" He glanced at the bottom of the rockery, intentionally or unintentionally, there were seven or eight of his subordinates, and he could rush up at any time if he wanted to.
I didn't bother to go around in circles, and gently spit out six words: "Five cans of blue and white figures." β
Every word slammed heavily on Liu Chengxuan's face, making his two demonic white eyebrows tremble suddenly.
He knew that I had come to bake porcelain, and he knew that looking for Yin Silversmith might have something to do with "Flying Bridge Dengxian", but he didn't expect that I even knew about five cansβthis was their most important and secret purpose.
I stared at his expression with a little nervousness, and drank the tea in the cup, sweat began to trickle down between my palms and the porcelain surface.
Liu Chengqian made no secret of his surprise: "Oh my God, you know all the five cans?" I really underestimated you before. β
"Why do you think I'm looking for Silversmith Yin? Isn't it the key to 'Flybridge Dengxian'? "I continued to throw the heavy pound ** and hook the dangerous shark forward. Sure enough, when Liu Chengqian heard that I even knew about the "key", his face became more serious than ever.
It's a risky move. By revealing my knowledge of the secrets of the five cans, I was putting myself on a very dangerous tightrope that could capsize if I was not careful.
But this is the only way to the castle of the old court.
Liu Chengxuan's eyes became dangerous, and he poured me another cup gently: "What do you want this key for?" β
"Because I have one of the five cans in my hand, the 'incense and moon worship' can." I squinted my eyes and said word by word, and the whole pavilion became very quiet.
This is the result of a long period of deliberation on this. Among the five cans, "Guiguzi descending the mountain" can be determined to be in the hands of the old court. The "Three Visits to the Thatched House" has been smashed in Hangzhou. There are three pieces of porcelain left, at least one of which I am sure is not in the hands of the old courtβthe blue and white incense and moon worship jar in the Zheng family in Changchun. Yao Otherwise, he mentioned this thing, saying that the Zheng family didn't know when it was sold, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
If you want to catch Liu Chengqi, the best thing is to reveal that I have one of the five cans. With such a thing as bait, the fine willow camp will never let go.
Liu Chengqian pondered for a moment and asked a question: "Oh? What is the origin of this jar? β
Antiques are very particular about inheritance, where you bought it from, which grave you dug out, you have to explain clearly. In many foreign museums, if you don't tell the origin clearly, people won't accept it at all. He asked, apparently not believing that I would have five cans of genuine products. There are many jars of blue and white characters, and Wei Hui alone has a large number of counterfeits of Guiguzi going down the mountain. I said I had it, but how can I prove that it's genuine?
I expected him to ask this question, and he smiled: "Words are false, seeing is believing." It doesn't matter what the origin is, you might as well see the real chapter. Then I took a piece of broken porcelain from my bosom and laid it on the stone table. As soon as he saw this porcelain piece, Liu Chengxuan's face finally changed color.
As soon as he waved, the person next to him hurriedly handed over a magnifying glass. He picked up the mirror, looked at the porcelain piece for a long time, touched it with his hand for a long time, and carefully examined the white part, and then raised his eyes again.
"So, the 'incense and moon worship' jar is broken?"
"Yes, this is one of the remnants of porcelain, Zhang Sheng's sleeve." My face doesn't change. Silversmith Yin lowered his head and sipped tea beside him, for fear of revealing any flaws.
This fragment is naturally the one I picked up from the "Three Visits to the Thatched House" character jar.
Some people may ask, Zhuge Liang is a figure of the Three Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Sheng is a story of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the images of the two are far apart. Liu Chengqian has albinism, not glaucoma, how can he not tell the difference?
Don't forget, this is not the whole picture, but a fragment with only most of Zhuge Liang's arms and sleeves on it, and you can't see your face or hands.
I haven't seen the entity of the "Incense and Moon Worship" jar, but I've read "The Legend of the West Chamber" a few times. In the third fold of the first book, there is a scene of "Yuyu is dustless, the Milky Way is shadowy, the moonlight is in the sky, and the flowers are full of shade", Cui Yingying is locked in the boudoir, burning incense in the courtyard, worshipping the moon and praying. Zhang Sheng peeked through the wall next to him, and couldn't help but chant a poem and sing harmony with Yingying. Although the two have not met, they have fallen in love.
In the painting of this "incense and moon worship" jar, I guess there must be an image of Zhang Sheng listening through the wall. Therefore, I said that the corner of Zhuge Liang's sleeve was Zhang Sheng's sleeve.
As I said earlier, the ancient craftsmen were not educated, and they did not study the costumes of the past dynasties in detail, and often chose the style they were most familiar with to paint, and there were often times out of order, which was not a flaw in the porcelain industry. Therefore, whether it is Guiguzi during the Warring States Period, Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms Period, or Zhang Sheng in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the craftsmen may all depict them according to the costumes of the Song people, and the sleeve style is exactly the same. Locally, it is quite difficult to distinguish from the individual fragments.
What's more, these five jars are made of a kiln, and they are exactly the same regardless of the tire quality, glaze, opening piece, pulp, and blue and white halo strokes, which cannot be faked. Examining it from these angles will only prove the authenticity of this porcelain piece even more. Unless someone immediately takes out the two jars of "Three Visits to the Thatched House" and "Burning Incense and Worshiping the Moon" and compares them with each other, they can see through it.
But the three times have been destroyed, and the incense has not been found, so it can be said that there is no proof of death.
Liu Chengqian repeatedly checked for a long time, looking at his technique, his attainments in porcelain are not shallow. However, there are few flaws in my trick, and it is impossible for him to see the problem.
Liu Chengqian suddenly picked up the porcelain piece and threw it into the teacup with a "plop". Yin Hong and I frowned at the same time, he obviously also knew the only flaw of "Flying Bridge Ascending Immortal". Thinking about it, since the old Chaofeng can dig out the Yin silversmith who lives in seclusion in Shaoxing, he must have a deep understanding of this unique skill.
However, knowing is knowing, and his verification from this line of thought will only prove that we are not lying.
Liu Chengqian fished out the porcelain piece, squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and finally caught the wisp of Chen Huang. He finally looked up and said, "Very good, Mr. Wang, you have won my attention." β
I was secretly relieved. Since he said so, he obviously recognized that this was a "incense and moon worship" jar. I smiled slightly: "It's a pity that I only picked up this piece, but the white mouth is there, it should be enough." β
Liu Chengqian looked solemn, and finally believed that I really had a lot of information. They are looking for five cans, not for collection, it doesn't matter if they are broken into powder, as long as this white mouth is still there. I deliberately took out this fragment to show that I also know what it means.
"No wonder Mr. Wang's reaction was so fierce in the afternoon, it turns out that we are all fellow travelers."
"You're welcome, if you weren't too enthusiastic, how could I win Teacher Yin's trust?"
We exchanged a few brief words and laughed at the same time. I asked, "So, can we work together as equals now?" β
Liu Chengqian put his palm together, sandwiched the porcelain piece in the middle, and laughed: "Mr. Wang, you are really kind-hearted, and you trust me so much." What would you do if I took this piece away now? β
I leisurely picked up the teacup: "How much is this white mouth worth?" You can take it. But what's behind it, you'll have to figure it out for yourself. β
"Oh? So, do you know what is hidden in the mouth? Liu Chengqian asked a little naΓ―ve.
"Huh."
I didn't say anything more, and glanced indifferently at the Yin silversmith next to me, everything was silent.
The word "hehe" is an all-purpose answer. It can both avoid the enemy's edge and appear unfathomable.
After the previous arrangement, Liu Chengqian already believed that I had the "incense and moon worship" jar in my hand, and had asked Yin's silversmith to open the white mouth for the second time and grasp a secret inside. In this way, even if Lao Chaofeng gets the other four cans, it is not complete if he lacks my one.
As for whether I am willing to share the secret with the Hosoliuying, it depends on their performance.
The smile on Liu Chengxuan's face became even stronger, and he threw the fragment back to me: "Mr. Wang is really the Fang family, and the younger brother admires it." Being able to do business with people like you is the luck of our Hosoyanagi Camp. What do you think is the way to talk about this? β
This is the official hook and the start of negotiating terms with me. I was happy in my heart, but on the surface I said calmly: "I know the secret of Baikou, but I only have this one jar in my hand, and I think the other four jars, eighty percent are in your hands." We might as well share five cans and get their own benefits. β
The corners of Liu Chengqi's mouth twitched, he didn't expect my appetite to be so big.
"Without my secrets, without Yin's silversmith's unique skills, it would be useless for you to have five jars ready; Without your jars, there's no point in me keeping secrets. So let's work together and complement each other. β
I saw that Liu Chengqian was silent and didn't answer, and said with a smile: "It's a big matter, you are a young man, can you be the master?" Liu Chengqian touched his lips with his hand: "Do you feel hairless on the lower side of your mouth, and you want to talk to the people above?" β
I laughed: "I'm not in a hurry, see when it's convenient for you." "I hinted very clearly, this matter is what you are begging me to show some sincerity, and come to someone with a higher level - I guess only the old courtier can be higher than Liu Chengxuan.
Liu Chengqian was a little embarrassed: "You have to say it sooner or later, who to tell it, isn't it all the same." β
"Huh." I smiled.
I don't know what Baikou's secret is, and I don't even know how much they know about Yoo Sung-sue, but I have to pretend that Zhizhu is in hand. No matter what the other party says, they will smile at each other with an unfathomable hehe, which will make the other party's heart beat a drum.
Sure enough, Liu Chengqian looked at me and smiled contemptuously, a little unsure. He thought for a moment: "You're right, the stakes are too big to make a hasty decision. How about I go back and ask for instructions, and then contact you? β
"Good, good."
I stood up and motioned for Yin Hong to go along. Liu Chengqian said: "I talked about Mr. Wang's matter just now, and I haven't talked about Mr. Yin's matter yet." I waved my hand: "His business is my business." Mine is done, and his is done. β
As soon as the figures of a few strong men on the left and right moved, as long as Liu Chengqian gave an order, they would come over and control us. Liu Chengqian stared into my eyes, and I stared at him. After looking at each other for about ten seconds, Liu Chengqian sighed softly: "Congratulations to the two of you, tomorrow you have eyebrows, I will send a car to pick you up." β
He was going to do it on the spot and kidnap us. But looking at what I did just now, I know that we have been prepared for a long time, and if we forcibly turn our faces, the consequences will be unpredictable. Fortunately, I also asked them for help, so I don't have to worry about us absconding overnight.
I took Yin Hong down the rockery in full view of everyone, and suddenly turned back.
"Huh? What else do you have? Liu Chengqian was stunned.
"Teacher Yin and I don't like the boss of Lan Jizhai very much."
Liu Chengqian smiled when he heard this: "Okay, tomorrow I will ask the boss to change his livelihood." β
In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the boss of Lan Jizhai, and Yin Hong gritted his teeth with hatred for him. Now that the cooperation has been preliminarily reached, he can borrow a knife to kill people and take revenge, which can be regarded as venting his anger for him. What's more, the more I ask, the stronger the willingness to cooperate, which can dispel their doubts - if I leave in a hurry and don't look back, it will seem weak.
However, this Liu Chengqian is also crisp enough, and the boss of the family is willing to make meritorious contributions to him as a pawn, and he was sold after changing hands.
We thanked Liu Chengqian and left Shen Yuan. It wasn't until I walked out of the garden gate that I felt that my vest was cold and almost soaked with sweat. I'm dealing with a group of ruthless outlaws, playing a game of white wolves with empty gloves, and if you don't make a single mistake, you may be out of luck. That brief conversation just now had me almost exhausted.
"Where are you going?" I asked Yin Hong.
Yin Hong didn't talk much today, and he looked like he was being slaughtered. When he heard me ask, he lamented, "Where else can I go?" Everywhere you go, you will be targeted. β
"If you come, you will be safe. As long as you cover me and break into them, I will definitely protect you. I reassured him.
The conversation just now can be regarded as hooking Liu Chengxuan, and tomorrow may be able to pull out a bigger guy. As long as I find a suitable opportunity, I will send Yin Hong out of danger.
I said that it is not safe for you to go back to Bazi Bridge now, there are few people nearby, in case they have a bad intention to kidnap you, I am afraid that there is no chance to warn, it is better to go back to the hotel with me. Yin Hong thought about it, so he had to nod his head in agreement, and continued to sigh, seemingly not letting go. Yesterday he was a small craftsman who had no quarrel with the world, but today he was dragged into this sinister dispute by me.
But if it weren't for me, I'm afraid he would have been kidnapped by now. The people of the Xiliu Camp dare to rob the tomb, what else can't they do?
We walked out of the alley of Chunbo Lane and deliberately found a hotel near the Public Security Bureau and opened two rooms. This is the counterpart hotel of the public security system, I checked in with the certificate given by Fang Zhen, no matter how bold Liu Chengqian was, he didn't dare to come here to make a mistake.
When I was about to enter the room, I suddenly stopped Yin Hong and whispered a few words. Yin Hong began to listen, with a reluctant face, an old face like a frosted eggplant. I snorted coldly and said that if you don't do this, it will be difficult to save your life tomorrow. Yin Hong agreed, opened the door and entered the house, and then slammed the door shut.
I entered my room, opened the curtains, and peered out of the floor-to-ceiling windows to see a sneaky shadow on the side of the road. This should be the person sent by Liu Chengqian to monitor, and the fine willow camp is really leaky.
"Don't worry, I won't run away this time, I will follow you closely until we see you." I silently said something in my heart, and then "swished" to pull up the curtains, but kept the floor lamp on.
I saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, walked out of the room, went downstairs to the front desk, took out my ID card, and asked for another room. The waiter looked at me and wondered, and I said that there was a smell of smoke in the room, and I couldn't sleep. The little girl said "oh" and changed it for me with a quick movement.
Once I entered my new room, I made sure there were no suspicious people nearby, then I picked up the phone on my bedside table and dialed a number.
The phone rang five times, and then the person on the other side picked up.
"Hey, Fang Zhen, I'm making a wish." I held the microphone and kept my voice as low as I could.
Fang Zhen is the only one who knows that Yao and I are not acting together, and at the same time the only friend we trust. This number is agreed upon in advance by us for one-way emergency contact. I'm about to break into the interior of the Willow Camp now, and before I go deep into the tiger's den, I must be ready to respond outside, otherwise I won't know how to die.
"Make a wish, you've finally called." Something was wrong with Fang Zhen's voice. He was always calm and cold, without any mood swings. But now I noticed that he was trembling at this time.
"What's wrong?" I asked first.
"Old man Liu, it's gone."
