Chapter 170: The Coming Envoy
"Who said they were going to do business with foreigners?" Zhang Fuzhi stood in front of Hu Shen and looked down at him, "It's me who does business with you, not a foreigner, don't treat me as the bridge between you and the foreigner, because I know that once you cross the river, the bridge will be demolished, and I also know that once the foreigner gets these things, after studying and understanding, he will definitely come to deal with us." ”
Hu Shen smiled: "We? ”
Zhang Fuzhi pointed at Hu Shen and then at himself: "Yes, we, Chinese." Westerners always think of themselves as civilized people, and civilized societies are built on killing, and they can do it again when the time comes, because you have already taught them how to do it. ”
"I don't want to do business with foreigners." Hu Shen looked at Zhang Fuzhi, "But it also depends on what price Zhang Ye offers." ”
Zhang Fuzhi sat down: "I believe that Mr. Hu will not ask for a sky-high price, of course, I also have to see if Mr. Hu's things are really valuable?" ”
Saying that, Zhang Fuzhi's tone increased: "What are the other four tombs except Jinling Jian?" ”
Hu Shen hesitated for a moment and explained: "Zhang Ye already knows what Jinling Jian is, Shuiling Jian is the treasure of the Ming Dynasty of the two ships, and now the ship is on Yelong Island, and someone has already opened the mechanism on the ship for us, so it is no longer a threat." ”
Zhang Fuzhi frowned: "Night Dragon Island? In the hands of pirates? Can the pirates hand it over? ”
Hu Shen sneered: "I don't know about others, but if I ask for it, the paper bodhisattva will definitely hand it over." ”
Zhang Fuzhi said: "Okay, I believe you, what about Muling Jian?" ”
Hu Shen looked at a landscape painting next to him: "Muling Jian is an immortal tree that can bring people back to life. ”
When Zhang Fuzhi heard this, although he was very curious about the immortal tree, he didn't ask specifically, but said, "Where is the immortal tree?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Fengyan Island, now the paper bodhisattva and my apprentices are there, as the saying goes, people move alive, trees move dead, if the immortal tree leaves Fengyan Island, it will be worthless, so, if Zhang Ye wants to do business with me, then it must be as soon as possible, otherwise once the news spreads, everyone will flock to it, and I can't guarantee whose hands the immortal tree will fall into." ”
Zhang Fuzhi thought for a while, and then asked: "Then what are the remaining Huoling Jane and Tuling Jane?" ”
Hu Shen smiled: "It turns out that Zhang Ye's curiosity is also so heavy? ”
"It's not curiosity." Zhang Fuzhi sat upright, "Since this is a business, then I have to know what I am investing in?" ”
"Don't rush, take your time, one by one." Hu Shen said without anxiety, "According to the five elements, wood gives birth to fire, and fire gives birth to earth, then we have to take the fire Ling Jian first, as long as the Huo Ling Jian is in hand, the rest of the Tuling Jian, it will be simple." ”
Zhang Fuzhi said with a smile: "Mr. Hu's words are really profound, I can't understand a word." ”
Hu Shen adjusted his sitting posture and looked at Zhang Fuzhi: "By the way, I have a gift for Zhang Ye." ”
After Hu Shen finished speaking, he said towards the door: "Plain." ”
The door opened, and Rong Pingye walked in slowly with two boxes in both hands, and respectfully placed the boxes on the table.
Zhang Fuzhi was puzzled: "What is this?" ”
"Two thin gifts, one is a meeting gift for Zhang Ye." Hu Shen watched as Rong Pingye opened one of the boxes.
Zhang Fuzhi looked at the black statue of Guanyin in the box, and couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously said: "Black Iron Guanyin? ”
Hu Shen nodded silently, and Zhang Fuzhi looked closer: "Can I get started and take a look?" ”
Hu Shen smiled: "Master Zhang, this is a gift from me, not an object I plan to sell to you, since it belongs to you, then you have the final say, don't talk about getting started, you can also use your feet." ”
Hu Shen's joke eased the tense atmosphere in the room a lot.
Zhang Fuzhi carefully took out the black iron Guanyin and looked at it carefully: "Mr. Hu, this kind of iron casting technology was lost in the Tang Dynasty, where did you find it?" ”
"This kind of cast iron craftsmanship comes from the Southwest Iron Tang Family, which is commonly known as the Sichuan Tang Gate." Hu Shen smiled, "I know that Zhang Ye not only believes in Buddhism, but also has antique calligraphy and painting, so I found a way to find it." ”
(For stories related to Southwest Tietang, please see "Strange Goods" in the second series of different cultures)
Zhang Fuzhi nodded again and again: "Mr. Hu has a heart." ”
Hu Shen nodded to Rong Pingye, and Rong Pingye leaned over and opened the second box, which contained neat gold coins.
Zhang Fuzhi picked up a gold coin, and after seeing the pattern on it clearly, his eyes widened and his face was surprised, because the gold coin was cast with the four big characters "Tianping Heavenly Kingdom" on the front and the word "Jinbao" on the back.
"Long-haired Jinbao?" Zhang Fuzhi said happily, "In the tenth year of Xianfeng, I have collected five gold coins minted by long-haired thieves over the years. ”
Hu Shen said calmly: "This gift is my congratulations to Zhang Ye on marrying a new concubine." ”
Zhang Fuzhi said: "Zhang can't afford such a valuable gift." ”
Hu Shen said: "Zhang Ye is not polite, we are business partners, this kind of thing, I have, when the envoy arrives, I will find some and hand them to Zhang Ye, and Zhang Ye can deal with them." ”
Hearing the word "special envoy", Zhang Fu's heart was shocked, and he wondered: How did he know that an envoy was coming? It turns out that he gave me a gift with a deep intention? Not only to get closer to himself, but also to tell me that there is nothing he doesn't know.
Zhang Fuzhi took a gold coin and looked at it repeatedly: "Mr. Hu is really well-informed. ”
Hu Shen glanced at Rong Pingye, and Rong Pingye immediately said: "The secret envoy from Zhang Dashuai will arrive by train at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. ”
Zhang Fuzhi didn't raise his eyes to look at Zhang Dingfeng, but just asked: "Mr. Hu, I now think that you can reach the sky, and I can't hide any news from you. ”
Hu Shen said slowly: "The one who came by train is a living dead." ”
Zhang Fu was shocked: "The living dead? ”
"This person's name is Ye Yunzhi, he was a staff officer next to Guo Songling, and I heard that Guo Songling dared to erect a banner against Feng Feng and establish the Northeast National Army, which has a direct relationship with him, and this person is also a republican revolutionary." Hu said with a shallow smile, "In addition, this person is sleek and good at basing himself on political officialdom, and in the past, he not only had a good relationship with the Northeast Marshal and the Young Marshal, but even had a good relationship with the Russians and the Japanese, so after Guo Songling's defeat, he claimed that this person had been dealt with by military law, but in fact he was not dead, which is why I said that he was a living dead." ”
Zhang Fuzhi asked: "So, Zhang Zuolin spared his life?" ”
Hu Shen said: "Not only that, but also give him the title of 'Fengtian Commissioner'." ”
Zhang Fuzhi asked: "What is the title of Fengtian Special Mission?" ”
"Empty titles, with money that others can't match, but you don't have to do anything." Hu Shen smiled, "Because he is too powerful." ”
Zhang Fuzhi was puzzled: "This kind of person, why haven't I heard of it?" ”
Hu Shen looked at Zhang Fuzhi: "This is precisely his cleverness, hidden in the dark, only showing a pair of hands, doing anything can turn the world upside down, but not being noticed, you can add officials to the knighthood, and you can retire can be hidden in the city, small hidden in the wild, and those who talk exaggeratedly, run the train with their mouths, and know a few celebrities who wish the whole world knew about it." ”
is really the same as what he was worried about, and the Feng family and the direct family are still eyeing Yongcheng.
Zhang Fuzhi raised his eyes and asked, "Mr. Hu, so the matter of Ling Jian has already spread?" ”
Hu Shen leaned on the sofa and said, "What do you think?" ”
The atmosphere that was originally slightly relaxed returned to the original point because of Hu Shen's words, and it was even worse than the original point.

"It's the ninth day." The paper bodhisattva standing in front of the door of the underground palace pestle the crutches and said: "Open the coffin and see it."
Nine days of apprehension made Tang Anshu completely ignore the huge changes in Yongcheng right now, and now his heart is just constantly praying, almost losing his normal judgment ability, because if the legend of the dead tree is true, then what he has learned over the years will be ruined.
Just like an atheistic policeman, after solving a case, he discovers that the murderer is a ghost, and his outlook on life will be completely overturned.
Because there is an unwritten rule in the study of the earth, this rule is the same as that of the person who opens the coffin, that is, "worship God but not God", that is to say, in fact, the earth itself does not want to believe in ghosts and gods, but for the root of this profession, it must also respect religious beliefs.
This is done only because the earth knows too well that religious beliefs can manipulate people's hearts.
"Mr. Tang, please." The paper bodhisattva cunningly let Tang Anshu enter the underground palace.
Tang Anshu hesitated, glanced at Gu Feng and the others next to him, and walked towards the underground palace with his feet raised.
Just as Gu Feng and the others were about to go in, Ma Jiubao waved them to stop: "You guys are just waiting outside." ”
Although the caution of the paper bodhisattva was also expected by Tang Anshu, he did not expect to be so cautious, and the captured people were always tied with their hands except for eating and going to the toilet.
And the natives captured on the island are also watched by pirates around the clock, and whoever tries to resist or flee will have to pay the price of blood for what they do.
At this time, Yexin, who was hiding in the distance, saw Tang Anshu walking into the underground palace, and she also sweated, what will happen next? Will Yuwen be resurrected? Are undead trees real? Will grandma really rejuvenate because of this?
While most of the questions have to wait for answers, one thing Yexin is sure of is that the Paper Bodhisattva will never resurrect the Night Dragon King.
If you resurrect the Night Dragon King, isn't it equivalent to being a cocoon and binding yourself?
Tang Anshu walked into the underground palace, and quickly observed this small tomb, the tomb is circular, and there is a sarcophagus in the middle, it seems that there are no organs around, and there are no mural reliefs on the surrounding stone walls.
"Open the coffin!" After the paper bodhisattva walked in, he couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry for you." ”
Tang Anshu frowned and said, "I'm going to open the coffin?" ”
