"Don't talk about these useless things. I have something to go out for the past two days, and I don't know how long I will be out. This matter is really going to bother you. I can't ......help it," Zhang Fan said seriously.

When the old woman saw this honest Buddha cultivator say this, she was embarrassed to shirk it, "If the 'scavenger' has something to do, the little old lady will definitely do it if she can." ”

"That's good, here's the thing......" Zhang Fan said eloquently.

It turned out that a few days ago, just before Zhang Fan entered the precept holder shijie. The last time he cracked the grave robbery murder case for the city's public security bureau, that police officer Shen never forgot this civilian expert with strong identification ability. Because he is also a lover of antiquities collecting. A while ago, he got the news that there was a boss who opened a leisure center in a certain township, and he used to be a big family, and there were some family heirlooms, so he asked Zhang Fan to go with him. Now the two are also friends.

As soon as Zhang Fan heard this, his heart immediately moved. Immediately agreed, and the two arrived at the township in a police car. That township can also be regarded as having some cultural origins, and there have been some official eunuchs, and it was quite solid a hundred years ago, and there are really some ancient mansions of large families in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Zhang Fan has also been here a few times, but he has no friendship with these juniors, and it is rare for him to visit his home.

This time, accompanied by police officers and police officers from local police stations, it was naturally easy for me to get acquainted with the villagers in these places. The residents of the largest ancient house in the town, of course, were warmly received when they saw the local police bringing people to visit. After some greetings and tea for a while, he took Officer Shen and Zhang Fan to take a look around the ancient mansion.

Although Zhang Fan has seen a lot of real antiquities in the scene of the precept holder shijie, even as far as the Tang Dynasty, and even the ancient wilderness. But it's not as intimate and real as shijie in reality. Touching these century-old relics with your fingers and feeling the mottling of time, you will feel a sentimentality about history in your heart, which is the charm of collecting. Those antiquities that have been precipitated by history always have an indescribable spirituality, which seems to be talking about their own experiences, which makes people reverie......

There are few visitors in the township, and the homeowners are very enthusiastic because they are accompanied by local police. led everyone around the ancient mansion while boasting about his family history. But the two found that the houses in front of the ancient house seemed to have been renovated, and the villagers in this township had little culture and no awareness of protecting antiquities, so when they were renovated, those aluminum alloy doors and windows, and cement walls, destroyed the ancient house a lot, leaving only some bulky ruins such as stone piers, which made Officer Shen and Zhang Fan sigh.

It's just that when he walked to the ancestral hall in the backyard, the owner of the house was secretive, and hurriedly took Officer Shen and Zhang Fan to walk over. But the two just wanted to see this ancestral hall, because it seemed that no one had been here for a long time, and the entrance was overgrown with weeds and moss. Although it looks desolate, the ancestral hall as a whole is intact. This naturally aroused the desire of the two to discover.

"This is an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestral tablets, and it is best for outsiders not to enter casually......" The owner's words seemed to be slurred. But since they said that, Officer Shen and Zhang Fan couldn't break the rules of other people's homes, so they had to sigh a few times, and the two of them walked around the ancestral hall a few times and left reluctantly. You can't go and loot people's ancestral halls.

But Zhang Fan and Officer Shen, one is a battle-hardened precept holder, and the other is an old policeman who has been handling cases for many years, and the insincere appearance of the owner of the house is naturally seen by the two, and they have doubts in their hearts. Since this is the ancestral ancestral hall, it is natural that there will be several worship activities every year on the death day of some ancestors.

But this ancestral hall has obviously not been visited for a long time, the old locks of the Qing Dynasty on the door have long been rusted, there are several inches of dust in the corners of the window sill and door frame, and the cobwebs are full of new and old, where is it like an ancestral hall with descendants to pay tribute to?!

Even if you don't pay homage every year, at least you can't let this place be desolate to this point, and cleaning it up is also a minimum of respect for your ancestors. And on the door of this ancestral hall, there are old gossip mirrors, seven-star swords, Taoist town ghost yellow silk charms, etc., which arouse suspicion, where are the descendants to suppress their ancestors? !

Officer Shen and Zhang Fan both saw that something was wrong, looked at each other and smiled, and they didn't break it, and everyone returned to the front hall with a greeting. After eating tea and chatting here for a while, the owner took out some ancestral antiquities, all of which were left behind in this old house.

Zhang Fan looked at it, it was all some old silverware, hat tubes, old stoves, mahogany furniture, etc., as well as some old imitation ancient paintings, Qing Dynasty antiques with wide open doors. Officer Shen took a few pieces and asked Zhang Fan what age he was, where he came from, and so on. Zhang Fan accurately talked about the source of the workmanship one by one, which made everyone admire and admire. Then they negotiated the price.

"Xiao Zhang, don't you want to pick a few after reading so much?" Officer Shen selected a few items in good condition, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Fan didn't seem to have chosen yet, and he picked all the haode away, so he was a little embarrassed, so he asked.

"Section Chief Shen, let's play first, I have collected some of these, and I just bought a few more pieces. You invite first, you're welcome to ......" Zhang Fan smiled and asked Officer Shen to pick, but he had a plan in his heart.

"How embarrassing is this, come together, let me pick haode alone." Officer Shen was even more embarrassed by Zhang Fan's generosity, "This is not good, this master, if you have any other good things, don't hide them, give us a long look at Xiao Zhang." In the future, he can bring some rich bosses to ......."

The owner of the house smiled and said: "My family heirlooms, that is, Officer Lao Wang at the gate today brought you here, and outsiders will not sell him." How can the things of the ancestors be sold blindly and left for future generations to think about......"

When Zhang Fan heard this, his eyes moved, and he asked the landlord: "Do you have old things like incense burners and candlesticks here, I want to get two, and a friend of mine asked me to help him get them." The price is negotiable......"

"This ......," the owner thought for a while, "I have one in my family, but they are all enshrined on the Buddha platform, which is probably not very convenient......"

Zhang Fan naturally knew that these offerings must be on the Buddha platform, so he smiled: "That's not very moving, there are no idle ones, and the complete set is the best." My friend is sincere, willing to give this number......" Zhang Fan stretched out a hand and gestured between one and five.

"Fifteen thousand......," Officer Shen guessed casually.

The owner smiled, "We don't seem to have any idle ones, and besides, it's a complete set of ......."

Zhang Fan shook his head, "It's 150,000 ......."

Officer Shen took a breath, which was worth a year's worth of his income. The owner of the house almost choked on the tea, "Uh, your friend is really rich, it makes me think about it......"

When the fat hostess, who was busy serving tea and pouring water, heard this, she immediately said to her husband: "Isn't there a set of ...... in the back?"

"Don't talk nonsense! How do you know! Her man immediately interrupted the fat woman.

The girl didn't react yet, and shouted: "A few days ago, the child ran there to climb the windowsill without being sensible, and when I went to get him down, I saw that there were a lot of ...... on the case inside."

"Busy with your go, what do women know!" When the owner of the house saw that her woman was not covered, he immediately made a look and kicked her out. The fat woman also understood a little, and hurriedly smiled and said that there was something wrong, and left the front hall.

Speaking of this, Lao Wang, the policeman in the place who accompanied him, immediately spoke: "You are too unkind, Shen is the leader of the city sub-bureau, and you are all pushing back on this small request." The OK hall you opened in the town was still taken care of by Officer Shen, so you have to give some face! Besides, it's not like you're missing money......"

The police in this place is Officer Shen's subordinate police station, and at this time, of course, you have to roll up your sleeves and contribute to your boss! Don't talk about giving money to buy, don't give money, it's reasonable for you to be filial piety. What are you doing in that OK hall, the rich people in this neighboring town are crowding you every day, don't think they're all going to sing!

When the owner heard this, he naturally weighed out the weight, and I am afraid that I will bleed today! He beat his grandfather's generation in this town, and he is a famous land snake. They all have friendships with local officials. In the new era, engaging in some land sales and opening factories, especially the newly opened leisure center, bathroom and OK hall, is actually an underground gambling house. It's all covered by the cooperation of the police and the people, where can you offend on this line!

Since the reform and opening up, the rural towns and towns in the south of the Yangtze River have all set up private enterprises and factories, and the localities have become rich and there are more wealthy people. This township is not as good as in the city, as long as you have money, you can play anything, and it is not realistic to drive to the city every day. As a result, gambling has become a trend in townships and towns, and it is impossible to catch it, and even the black shili in the northern Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have also penetrated in. The local security is a big headache. People from other provinces are lawless here, and it is difficult to govern.

Therefore, such a brain-active, local shili, opening such a stall, although it is not legal, but it is better to manage, and in order to monopolize the financial route, they can also take the initiative to drive away the black shili in other provinces, which is of great benefit to local security. Moreover, if the bureau receives a major case, these local black shili can also be reported by wire, which is much wider than the intelligence sources of the police.

Therefore, the underground gambling of this kind of locals is even erotic. Most of them turn a blind eye, and sometimes they even have to help dredge it. In fact, this is also a kind of grooming management, which belongs to the gray area. And it can also have some gray income, and it also gets the law and order up, that's a win-win-win situation, why not!

The owner of the house immediately smiled and said, "Lao Wang, you still say this, we are all old brothers for many years." Will you still be ignorant! If you allow me to look for it, I think there must be, and I will find it......"

Officer Shen smiled: "That's not necessary, we're not here to rob things." If there is, my little brother paid for it, but it didn't count. ”
