Chapter 4: Mr. Hong's Coercion
I sighed, picked up my phone and looked at it, and found that the text message said, "Can't sleep, which hotel are you staying in, I'll pick you up." I really have something to tell you! When I saw the last sentence, the resentment in my heart eased a little.
I sent the address of the hotel to Lantern Xiao, and after washing up, I waited in the hotel lobby.
Lantern Xiao and I found a breakfast shop not far from Panjiayuan to sit down, still bean juice burnt ring, but this time I drank a sip of bean juice, although I still felt a sour smell, but it was not as unbearable as last time, could it be that my body has developed immune antibodies to this kind of thing.
At this time, it was still early in the morning, and there were no people on the street, but there were already many people sitting here eating breakfast. Lantern Xiao told me that these people were all traders from Panjiayuan, and they came to open the market early in the morning.
I took two bites and asked, "You kid woke me up so early, if you can't tell me that you're ugly, I'll splash a bowl of bean juice on your face." ”
Lantern Xiao smiled and didn't speak, her expression was a little weird. I'm a little curious, if it was usual, when I said this, his soup would have come out a long time ago, and now he is silent. Nine times out of ten, I guess it had something to do with that meeting with his grandfather yesterday.
I asked, "What happened when I met your grandfather yesterday?" ”
Lan Xiao put down the bowl in his hand, "It's similar to what I guessed, it has something to do with Tang Jian'an." ”
Listening to Lantern Xiao's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I remembered what my second uncle said to me, so I asked Lantern Xiao: "That Mr. Hong really sent Tang Jian'an back to Tang's house?" ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "That's right, I was a little surprised to hear this news at the time. ”
I continued, "What does Mr. Nahong covet from the Tang family?" ”
Hearing me say this, Lantern Xiao's expression was immediately very surprised, and she looked at me in disbelief, "How do you know?" Don't be impressed for a few days! When will you be able to pinch like this? ”
I didn't hide it from him, so I told the truth, "This is not what I said, it was told to me yesterday when I was on the phone with my second uncle." He said that if Mr. Hong sent Tang Jian'an back to the Tang family, it must be for something from the Tang family. ”
Lantern Xiao nodded admiringly, "It's worthy of the old rivers and lakes, I really let the second uncle say it!" This Mr. Hong took Tang Jian'an as a hostage and threatened the Tang family to exchange one thing. ”
"What is it?" I asked hurriedly.
Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said: "It is the half remnant picture handed down by the ancestor of the Tang family. ”
"Remnant?" I couldn't help frowning when I heard this, "What's the use of Mr. Hong asking for this half of the residual picture?" Could it be that the content on this remnant has something to do with the affairs of the underworld? ”
Lantern Xiao shook her head, "I don't know about this." ”
I looked at Lantern Xiao and said, "If something like this happens, with the power of the Tang family, it shouldn't be okay to give up." ”
"Of course!" Lantern Xiao said, "Two days later, the Tang family's buddies found the place where Mr. Hong stayed, but this person was very powerful, more than a dozen people went to surround him, but he still escaped, and he also injured a guy." ”
I nodded, I am not surprised by this result, after all, I have seen Mr. Hong's skills, "Now your Tang family has suffered a big loss, not to mention the loss of people, and the loss of things." ”
Lantern Xiao snorted, "This matter is actually to blame Tang Jian'an's stupid X, I heard my grandfather say that Mr. Hong contacted my uncle at that time, hoping to cooperate with the Tang family, but my uncle refused." My uncle is a man who is striving for fame and fortune, but he is not stupid. He is only interested in money and status, and he is not keen on the matter of inverted fighting, and he is not good at it, my uncle is smart and smart in knowing what he can and can't do! The Tang family really inherited the mantle of the inverted bucket is actually my father, which is why when my father was there, my uncle could not be the principal. And at that time, not long after my father's accident, my uncle would not want to repeat the same mistakes. After being rejected, Mr. Hong relented and found Tang Jian'an, I don't know what ecstasy soup he poured into this stupid boy, Tang Jian'an followed stupidly, and the result ended in such a result! ”
I said with some concern: "Then do they know that you are also involved in this matter?" ”
Lan Xiao nodded, "I know, I didn't deliberately hide this matter, it is easy to find out with the Tang family's ability." ”
Hearing him say this, my heart tightened, "Will your uncle doubt you?" ”
"He did have this in mind, but," Lantern Xiao looked at me mysteriously, "and someone helped me. ”
"Help? Who is it? I asked.
Lantern Xiao shook her head with a smile and said, "It's Tang Jian'an!" ”
"Tang Jian'an??" This made me a little unbelievable.
"yes!" Lantern Xiao continued: "This guy only said in a few words that I saved him. Unexpectedly, when Tang Jian'an was normal, he didn't do anything good, but after he went crazy, he did a decent thing! ”
I couldn't help but sigh a little, "This is also the reward for your good deeds." So Tang Jian'an is not too crazy? ”
"The doctor said that Tang Jian'an's nerves were overstimulated and did not suffer pathological parenchymal damage, and if appropriate methods are used, this damage is still reversible." Lantern Xiao said, "So, Tang Jian'an was sent to the United States by my uncle for treatment, and maybe he can really recover." ”
Although I don't like Tang Jian'an, and even hate him a little, he still helped Lantern Festival after all, and he still has a little conscience.
Lantern Xiao looked out the window, and the sky was completely bright, "This time, my grandfather also brought a document to transfer part of the Tang family's property to my name." ”
I was a little surprised and said, "That's good, now you've really become the soup boss!" ”
But Lantern Xiao's face was indifferent, as if it was me who got the industry, not him, "But, I didn't want it!" ”
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded, I could probably understand his thoughts. Lantern Xiao clapped her hands and stood up, "I'm not the life of the eldest young master!" Let's go, let's go! ”
I came to the store with Lantern Festival, but because it was relatively early, Sisi hadn't come over yet. Lantern Festival was busy with people and began to clean up, I watched from the side, and I felt that his life was quite good. I remembered what Sisi said to me yesterday, so I repeated it to Lantern Festival, "Lantern Festival, let me tell you, don't think about where to get the artifact every day, who wants to follow a person who is not at home every day, what other girls want is stability, not to find a professional soil rake!" ”
Lantern Xiao smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, I know!" ”
As he was talking, a few customers walked in, and Lantern Xiao hurried over to support him, and I couldn't help much, so I walked out of the store and walked around. In the middle of the two rows of stores in the north and south of Panjiayuan, there are large stalls, where they are lined up, there are almost hundreds of stalls. This is the place with the largest number of people in Panjiayuan.
The things on this stall are even more dazzling. Wood carvings, jade agate, necklace bracelets, old newspapers and old books. In short, the first-time visitor will keep your eyes overwhelmed. However, if you just want to buy some handicrafts or thrift items, be aware that thrift is not an antique. Then you can take a good look around this stall area, but if you want to look for some serious antiques, then don't keep your eyes peeled, don't mess around without two brushes!
I knew that my eyesight was limited, so I walked through the stalls to the antique store opposite. Although some of the things in the store are not bad, the price is also expensive! I went door to door to relieve my boredom, and put aside what I didn't buy first, and then I opened my eyes to study.
I visited a few stores, and although I saw a few things in good condition, they didn't surprise me, probably because the things I had seen during this time were too strange.
At this moment, I looked up and saw a store not far ahead. At its entrance is a bronze Buddha statue, which is almost half a person tall and very conspicuous. And there is a sign in front of the store, with five big characters on it: Bronze Daquan!
This makes me a little curious, although the name "Bronze Encyclopedia" is a bit earthy, but the tone is really not small. With that in mind, I stepped over.
As soon as I entered the store, a quaint atmosphere suddenly hit my face. The store is not big, but the furnishings are very neat and layered. The owner is a middle-aged man in his fifties, chubby with one eye, holding a mobile phone at this time, not knowing what he is looking at. When he heard me come in, he didn't even lift his head.
In fact, this can't be blamed on the shopkeeper is not enthusiastic, Panjiayuan can now be regarded as a special tourist attraction, receiving countless tourists every day, and there are more people on holidays, but most of them come to see and play. Not many people actually buy it. Therefore, many shopkeepers here are also used to it, and they are not willing to bother to talk more when it is not necessary.
However, this is also good, he ignored me, and I didn't plan to buy it, so it was quite solid to watch it quietly for a while.
I looked along the row of multi-bogs on the wall, one by one. As I got to the middle of the room, a bronze from Dobaoge caught my eye. It looks like a three-legged bronze cup, but there is a difference between this thing and a knight. Something popped into my mind, the bronze bowl that Anado's father had given us.
Wenmo once said that there is an essential difference between the 斖 before the Xia Dynasty and the 斖 of the Shang Dynasty, that is, there are no two cylindrical protrusions on the mouth of the cup. And this thing in front of me, that's it. It has a smooth rim and no bulges. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, could this also be a bronze piece before the Xia Dynasty?
