He was rummaging over there, and I was looking around. I don't know about antiques, and I can't find some useful information like Bao Ye.

He dragged a round stool and sat down in front of the bookshelf and rummaged through the books, many of which were ancient books. There are also books bound in thread, and some books that are copied by hand.

At first, I was quite scared in this room, but after an hour, I didn't find anything abnormal, so I happily followed Ren Qiancang to look at the books on the shelves. The bookshelf is huge, and the whole wall is there. This needs to be checked out locally, not all night?

I also dragged over the stool and flipped through the book with Ren Qiancang beside him. For a moment the room was so quiet that there was not even a sound.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly, and I was startled, and the hand-copied book in my hand fell to the ground.

He took one look at me, picked up the book for me, and then answered the phone.

It's quiet and I can hear the sound on my phone. Bao Ye's voice said: "There is a book that says that a tomb robber in the Ming Dynasty saw the coffin and opened the coffin, and the coffin was full of black water and nothing. That's it, it can only show that the thing is from before Qin. I'm really annoyed, I've been reading it for so long, just such a message. ”

Ren Qiancang said: "Rest early." I'm looking for it here, too. ”

After hanging up, we fell into silence again. In this silence, my attention was always on the book in my hand. Suddenly, a dark shadow jumped in the afterglow. I looked at the dark shadow in shock, and it turned out to be a spirit pet cat. It jumped onto the windowsill in a few steps and meowed sharply outside.

Ren Qiancang said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." ”

"Then we ......"

"It's fine." Ren Qiancang said, "We are the masters here. ”

As soon as Ren Qiancang finished speaking, he heard a voice outside saying, "Why is there still a cat?" I thought the cats were all dead. Who's in it? ”

Ren Qiancang shouted outside: "I'm here!" ”

A man in a security uniform ran over from the window, and he smiled: "Is it Mr. and Mrs." What about reading books? I looked at the courtyard with the lights on, and thought there was a thief here. ”

"Does a thief dare to turn on the lights like that?" Ren Qiancang said angrily.

The security guard sneered, "Yes, yes." Well, I'll go somewhere else first. ”

As soon as the security guard left, Wu Guang came in. Unlike the security guards, Wu Guang walked in directly, rather than standing outside the window.

When he walked in, I still put down the book in my hand with some uneasiness, but Ren Qiancang continued to flip through the book motionlessly. Wu Guang said: "Sir, Mrs. hasn't rested yet?" ”

"Read the book."

Wu Guang smiled: "Look, this courtyard is empty anyway." ”

"Uncle Wu, there is Tai Chi on a sarcophagus, and there are many carvings of Taoist things, what is that for?" Ren Qiancang asked casually without any malicious intent, and even his eyes were still on the book.

Wu Guangyi smiled and said, "I saw the message from the Tibetan Museum, sir, I think you are still discussing this with some old gentlemen in the Tibetan Museum." The coffin, if it is lost, the loss will be very large. ”

"Maybe I will pay for it if I exchange the entire Ren family, but I am willing to change. I'm a dead man, what do I want all this for? I just want to know what the secret is willing to let my dad not want me as a son. Ren Qiancang finally raised his gaze and looked at him.

Wu Guang still said with a hypocritical smile: "Mr. Ren is good." It's only been a few months since I found out here. But even if you know what the coffin is for, what's the use? It's right down here, I can't get it, and you can't get it. No one can touch it. All we need to do is take care of the well above. ”

"How do you know I can't get it? Or Uncle Wu, do you want to collude with the tomb robbers outside and let them come in and take away the coffin? ”

"Humph!" Wu Guang's face was cold, and he couldn't pretend anymore, "I've been in the Ren family for so many years, and your father has never doubted me." ”

"Uncle Wu, what are you nervous about? Just kidding. Uncle Wu's kindness to the Ren family, I remember it. It's just not good for me. Uncle Wu go to bed early, I'll take care of the affairs of the museum. ”

Wu Guang snorted coldly and went out. He didn't stand up to drive us away. As soon as Wu Guang went out, Ren Qiancang said: "He can walk so easily, it seems that there is no information we are looking for here." Go back, merchant. ”

"Why are you so sure, maybe he was suspected by you, and he was unhappy, so he turned around and left. Think about it, he has been in the Ren family for so many years, and he has always had to be reused. As a result, as soon as you come back, he can't move you. Suppressed by you everywhere. Now you still doubt his loyalty to the Ren family, this kind of thing, whoever puts it on it, everyone will be unhappy. If it were me, loyal, and still suspected, I would have resigned. ”

"His loyalty has been attacked by us many times, but he still relies on Ren's house and refuses to leave."

"He was afraid that after leaving, something would happen in the well, and no one would deal with it."

"If he really suffers, he should hate me, even if he doesn't hate my dad and my grandfather, now my dad is dead, my grandpa is long dead, he still insists on staying, let's hit it once in a while. I think the reason why he stayed, not because he was loyal to the Ren family, but because there was a reason why he couldn't leave, even if he was not happy here, he would insist on staying. He stayed not because of his loyalty to the Ren family at all, but because there were things that were directly related to him here, such as the coffin below. ”

"By the way, Bao Ye said that thing should be Taoist, maybe he really knows what it does."

As we spoke, we walked towards our yard.

Things seem to have froze completely, and we don't get a shred of information about the coffin. Just a few quiet days passed. I have gone out with Ren Qiancang every day, he goes to the Tibetan Museum, I go to Lelena, and occasionally I will eat with Fei Yi and a rich wife, counting each other's men. Bao Ye disappeared completely for a few days, not in the big yard, not at school, and not at home. Because his mother called me and said that the neighbor had given me some cuttlefish and porridge, and wanted to ask Bao Ye to go back to eat. But Bao Ye's mobile phone can't get through.

Everything is calm, waiting for the news of the acquisition of the coffin by the collection of people.

I also made a special trip to that station to see the reply to that message. Many of the posts followed by asking for details about the coffin. But no one could say anything. This calm was broken on the fifth day.

That afternoon, I was still in Lele's store when I received a call from Ren Qiancang. He was on the phone and asked me to take a taxi over for dinner. Bao Ye is also there, Ye Yan is also there, and the buyer of the sarcophagus.

Ren Qiancangding's location is very close to the pedestrian street, so there is no need to take a taxi at all, and I only walked for seven or eight minutes. It is a relatively large restaurant, with private rooms and good security facilities, which is conducive to preventing eavesdropping.

When I walked into the box, everyone was already in place. There are also waiters who start serving.

As I walked over, I wondered if what I would see in a moment would be a group of grave robbers. But sitting at the round table, in addition to the Bao Ye and Ye Yan and Ren Qiancang who I knew, there were two men, both of whom looked very sunny, not like tomb robbers at all.

The two of them don't seem to be very old, one is only about forty, and the other is in his twenties and thirties. Because Ren Qiancang was at work, he was wearing a more formal suit, while Ye Yan was wearing a casual suit. Compared to the two of them, the two men seemed much more casual. The old man was wearing a T-shirt. And the younger, wearing a black trench coat with jeans. When I walked in, Bao Ye shouted, "Aunt Shangshang, why have you been so long?" ”

"I came here. Not many steps anyway. ”

The young man looked at me and asked with some curiosity, "People are still so young, why is Bao Ye called Auntie?" ”

"She handed it over to Uncle Ren, Uncle Ren is forty years old, it's right to call Uncle Ren. So isn't the uncle's wife an aunt? ”

The young man looked at me and nodded, reaching out to me, "Hello." I am"

I was a little confused, but I politely stretched out my hand and said, "Hello." Ren Qiancang arranged a chair for me and sat next to him.

The dishes were all served, the table was full, and the business began to be discussed. asked first: "We came here this time to know the original intention of the Ren family to purchase this sarcophagus." ”

Ren Qiancang smiled: "Then what is the reason for your acquisition?" This kind of thing has a price, and it won't be of any use if you get it. ”

"It's very useful." Another old man shouted. In fact, it's not a shout, but his voice is originally the tone of this kind of broken gong.

Because of his voice, and the sound was relatively loud, I was slightly startled, and the outstretched chopsticks unconsciously retracted, picked up the cup, and drank saliva to hide my gaffe.

22 Then he said to the old man, "Uncle Wu Ao, let me tell you." Don't scare the merchants with your voice. ”

Hearing this, my heart trembled slightly. From a woman's instincts, I felt uneasy. It's the first time I've met, and he doesn't need to shut up someone because of something like a loud voice. This made me embarrassed and hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me, just talk about your business." ”

Ren Qiancang said in order to resolve the embarrassment: "For example? What can it be used for? ”

"We won't say anything until we find the coffin."

"Why did you come all the way here, is it because you saw the acquisition information we sent?"
