Chapter 46: Betrayal
After Ouyang Sicong said this, he took the guests upstairs, and Qin Beiyang, who was waiting at the staircase, silently recited: "Chameleon!" ”
On the second floor, in a private museum, Ouyang Anna pulled her face and unlocked the door with great reluctance.
Haneda Taiki was extremely shocked by the room full of cultural relics, and when he saw the wood carved Buddha statue of the Liao Dynasty, he folded his hands and bowed. He said that the Haneda family had believed in Buddhism for generations, revered the Three Jewels, and would burn incense and pray for blessings every time they visited an ancient temple.
Tomb beast of the young unicorn town.
The treasure in the glass case, its snow-white antlers, seemed to stab Haneda Taiki's eyes, and even made his legs go limp, and he fell to the ground. Ouyang Sicong helped him up, but Haneda would rather kneel for a long time, although he was wearing a dress, his posture and expression were like that of a Japanese samurai, and he kowtowed three times respectfully.
Jiu Se looked at him coldly, as well as a room of ordinary people, until Qin Beiyang squeezed his eyes at it.
Haneda stood up and took a closer look at the tomb beast. Judging from the style of the vessel, he believes that this is a burial object from the Tang Dynasty: "This is a unicorn, and it is also a mythical beast in Japan." However, the Japanese unicorn has the hooves of a deer, but this unicorn is the claws of a tiger and a leopard. ”
Ouyang Sicong nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Haneda is amazing." ”
"The younger generation has a reluctant request, I fell in love with this treasure at first sight, and I am willing to offer 50,000 silver yuan to buy it, and burn incense every day to worship."
Fifty thousand silver yuan--Qi Yuanshan was dumbfounded.
Without waiting for her father to answer, her daughter Anna said impatiently, "Send off!" ”
"Wait!" Ouyang Sicong grabbed Anna and smiled at the guest, saying, "The little girl is young and ignorant, and she is rude." Where are you going to offer it? ”
"It must be...... Haneda Trading Company Headquarters, Shitennoji Temple in Osaka, Kirin Shrine. ”
"To Japan?" Ouyang Sicong immediately shook his head, "Don't sell it!" ”
Everyone exited the private museum, and Anna locked the door. Haneda Taiki still didn't give up: "100,000 silver yuan, is it okay?" ”
In less than a minute, the price had risen to two times, and Ouyang Sicong was also quite surprised, but he was silent, and Haneda Taiki added: "If I am lucky enough to get this young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, I can ask the British lawyer in the Public Concession to issue a certificate and pay 100,000 silver yuan immediately." ”
However, the scheming Ouyang Sicong held his breath and neither refused nor agreed.
"This is the highest price I can get!" Haneda Taiki bowed again, "Mr. Ouyang, please think carefully!" I will soon be back to Japan and will be back to China in the near future, so I will be visiting again, thank you very much. ”
Ouyang Sicong ordered Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan to send off the guests, and when they went out of the gate, Haneda Taishu bowed deeply to Qin Beiyang again.
Qin Beiyang clenched his fists and asked, "Yuanshan, do you say that Mr. Ouyang will sell the nine colors to the Japanese?" ”
"According to what I know about Mr. Ouyang, he will sell it."
"If that's the case, I'll steal the nine colors and fly away!"
"You're going to be a thief too?"
"Listen! The tomb beast was supposed to be in the tomb, and the person who brought it to the world was a thief, a tomb robber. ”
It was still Qi Yuanshan's cool head, and he dragged Qin Beiyang to a dark corner: "This is the Ouyang family's mansion, be careful that the wall has ears." Mr. Ouyang is definitely not easy to mess with. Anyway, the Japanese won't be back until a while, and we still have time. ”
"You said this Haneda Taishu, could it be related to the massacre at the Hongkou Patrol House? There is also a hint of the Assassins' blood words - on September 2, 1907, Gengzi paid millions of silver in compensation. I think that the so-called quotation is also a trick, they didn't think about buying it at all, but made a false shot, and then used despicable tricks. ”
"There is a second possibility, Haneda Taishu looks at you very differently, and his target is probably you-Qin Beiyang." After Ouyang Sicong's subordinates saw the methods of the Green Gang, Qi Yuanshan became more and more eccentric, "The last loop passed by the scene of the murder in the Hongkou patrol room and met Inspector Ye of the Beijing Police Department. He analyzed that the Assassin and tomb robber Xiao Mu might be hiding on a foreign ship at the Hongkou Pier. ”
"Yes, you have a clue?"
Qi Yuanshan put down his sleeves like a boss, and said unhurriedly: "The Green Gang was originally a gang of the Caoyun brothers, and water transportation and wharves have always been the territory of the Green Gang. We had a record of all the docks in Shanghai in our account books, and it took me a lot of effort to find out that a Peruvian cargo ship had been docked at the Hongkou terminal for more than two months, and the port entry time was exactly a week before the Hongkou Massacre. ”
"Yuanshan, you're getting better and better!"
Qi Yuanshan looked at the big bell on the wall: "Oops, tossing until midnight, I'm hungry." ”
The two teenagers sat down in the wing, cooked overnight rice, and ate pickles, edamame, and bean curd. They were originally northerners, but now they are also used to Jiangnan food, and they have not known the taste of steamed buns and flatbread for a long time.
While eating, the two discussed the plan for boarding and inspecting. Qi Yuanshan said: "Don't startle the snake, we first have to step on the perimeter of the dock and find favorable terrain to observe." If you're worried about someone stalking you, I'll take care of it. ”
"No! Those assassins, murderous and bloodthirsty, are all first-class masters, and you will suffer if you go alone! ”
Qi Yuanshan calmly sandwiched a chopstick pickle for him: "Don't worry, I won't act rashly, let alone tell the patrol room - since the news of the town's tomb beast leaked out from the Hongkou patrol house, it means that those foreign devils are not reliable at all." I will check it out first and then report back to Mr. Ouyang. ”
"Yuanshan, what do you want to report to me?"
Ouyang Sicong's voice sounded behind him, and the two teenagers put down their chopsticks and wiped their mouths and stood up.
The master of Dharma Mountain on the sea, his eyes were deep-set, his face was pale, and his tone was relaxed: "Yuanshan, Beiyang, I have an important task entrusted to you, and I will set off early tomorrow morning!" ”
The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Qin Beiyang and Qi Yuanshan went out.
By the time it got dark, neither of them had heard anything. The Dharma Mountain on the sea was deserted, Ouyang Anna was upset, and the weather turned cold, so she froze her hands and feet, so she played "Swan Lake" in the piano room on the second floor......
Ouyang Sicong pushed open the door, with two iron galls in his hands, described as withered, gray, Napoleon-style beard thinned, and suddenly aged ten years old.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm considering an offer for a young Kirin Town tomb beast."
Ouyang Anna wanted to care about her father, but now she turned her face: "I don't allow you to sell Jiuse to the Japanese!" ”
"What? Nine what? ”
"Anyone who has a name, even a grasshopper, will have feelings." Anna realized she had slipped her mouth, "I named this small town grave beast as a dog. ”
"Dad is in dire need of money to tide over the difficult situation with the backstage. 100,000 oceans, not to mention buying this small town tomb beast, even if you buy the entire Dharma Mountain on the sea and all the treasures treasured on the second floor, it is more than enough! ”
"You only see money?"
"Anna, I'm a collector, but I'm also a businessman. It doesn't matter the nationality of the customer, what matters is the cash. Ouyang Sicong lit a Havana cigar, his mouth full of stink, "Three months ago, I wouldn't even let Haneda Taishu step into my house, because of his surname!" But now, I am desperate, as long as he can come up with real money, even if he has a revenge for killing my father...... I also decided, sell! ”
"You say this like a prostitute!"
