~.&1t;>-~ Early the next morning, Xue Xiang arranged for Gu Changdao and Vice President Wang to accompany Liu Ying'er in the hospital, staring at Dabao's operation, while he took the painting scroll, took the lame third child, got into the taxi he chartered yesterday, and headed towards Rongbaotang. The Rong Bao Tang selected by Xue Xiang is the largest pawn shop on Hong Kong Island, with strong strength, and it is a good place for classic national treasures.

Rong Bao Tang is located on the Central Avenue, just over ten minutes' drive from the Sheng Ye Hotel, and Xue Xiang arrived before he finished smoking a cigarette. When he got out of the car, the middle-aged driver suddenly said that if he wanted something particularly valuable, he would go to the Xie family pawnshop, which was a century-old store with a very high reputation.

The seemingly unintentional sentence of the middle-aged driver seemed to be praising the pawnshop, but in fact, it was a vague indication that this Rong Baotang was not authentic in business. Xue Xiang thought about the middle-aged driver's words thoroughly, but since they had all arrived at the door, how could they turn around and return without asking? Even if you want to go to the Xie family's pawnshop, you always want to shop around.

Xue Xiangchong smiled at the driver, handed over a cigarette, asked him to stay in the car for a while, said to go in and take a look and return, and after explaining, he led the lame old man towards the store. To say that this Rong Bao Hall is extremely magnificently decorated, in Hong Kong Island, a land where every inch of land is valuable, hundreds of square meters of trading hall are arranged, and the decoration is splendid.

Xue Xiang guessed that the reason for the pawn shop's decoration was nothing more than the feeling of being extremely powerful and financially strong, which made people feel that they could be any treasure here; The second is to make the guests feel embarrassed and insignificant, and when bargaining, the momentum loses first, which is similar to the medieval believers to build a magnificent and majestic temple. It is a principle to coerce believers.

Xue Xiang naturally wouldn't be confused by this little trick, although this hall is big and richly decorated, it is just a good living room for him, not to mention his previous life. He has encountered all kinds of large-scale luxury stores, and even in this life, he has also been to the People's Auditorium. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is just chickens, ducks and goose feathers, which is not worth a damn.

Xue Xiang held the mahogany box in his hand. Hold your chest high, walk easily and freely, but the lame third child will not be, originally limping and snailing, goodbye to the big scene that has never been encountered in this half of his life, walking I don't know which foot to step first, standing on the thick wool carpet, can't help but tremble, provoked the etiquette lady who greeted the guest in front of the door, covered her mouth and chuckled. It's a pawn shop here. I don't recognize clothes, I don't recognize people, I only recognize whether there is a guy in the customer's hand, and I can't say that the lame third child has already been blasted out.

Xue Xiang walked a few more steps, and suddenly realized that no one was following behind him, and he turned around to see it. The lame third man was still at the gate, holding the gate and trembling, and at that moment, he was annoyed and shouted: "You are all *** blind, I haven't seen the guests have difficulty moving." Don't *** give Lao Tzu to help people in, what kind of service? ”

Xue Xiang didn't use Cantonese this time, pretending to be from Hong Kong Island, after all, the lame third man was on the side, and he didn't pretend to be like it, so he simply restored his original face, opened his mouth in Mandarin, and scolded arrogantly. The reason why Xue Xiang made such a Qiu Ba appearance was to hang his body, otherwise he would be able to be slaughtered as an honest grandmother when he made a price later. Although this painting must be redeemed, the more money you make, the more money you make in the stock market, and Xue Xiang naturally hopes to sell it at a high price.

Xue scolded this, and in the lobby, there was immediately silence, and the customers and pawnbrokers who were originally trading at the windows and counters, plus the service staff standing on the side around him, all looked at him with surprise. Everyone really didn't expect that someone would dare to say so wildly in Rong Bao Hall, he was still a big 6 boy, and he didn't ask what kind of place it was.

As soon as Xue Xiang said this, several men in yellow clothes immediately surrounded him, looking like security guards here.

"What's the matter, the shopkeeper bullies?" Xue Xiang was still holding the mahogany box and standing on the ground.

The four or five security guards didn't seem to understand Mandarin, and they continued to move forward until they surrounded Xue Xiang and then stood still.

One of them, known as Brother Hao's garlic nose, seemed to be the leader, thinking that Xue Xiang didn't understand, so he scolded and scolded the others in Cantonese along the way, saying that he wanted to catch Xue Xiang's big circle of boys and clean it up in a secluded place, and muttered that there were good things in the mahogany box, and handed them over to the hall, and there would be a prize.

Hearing this, Xue Xiang already knew in his heart that this Rong Bao Tang must be the property of a certain community on Hong Kong Island.

On Hong Kong Island, the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has been established for four or five years, and it has spared no effort to crack down on corrupt elements in the government and police system, but it has not been able to control the scale of associations. At this time, the power of the Hong Kong Island community is extremely strong, and the most famous "Lao K" and "Yi Zi Tang" each have no less than 100,000 gangs, which can be described as amazingly powerful.

However, the Hong Kong Island community is also considered a thief, and its own business is very disciplined and credible, and it will definitely not blackmail customers.

Although the Rong Baotang store does not deceive customers, but it is also determined that others will not be allowed to bully the door, Xue Xiangfang scolded as if he was provocative, and was naturally regarded as finding fault, and he also spoke Mandarin, these guys named security guards and community members naturally regarded him as fat in the bowl.

The security guards surrounded Xue Xiang, and when they saw that they were about to take someone, suddenly, a voice came from afar: "Stop!" ”

As he spoke, a young man walked by.

The young man looked like twenty-seven or eighteen, his appearance was ordinary, his stature was short, only about one meter six, but the whole person was very powerful, followed by four or five black-clad men, who had just exited and surrounded Xue Xiang, turned around in unison, bowed to the man, and said in unison: "Xiang Sheng is good!" ”

Xue Xiang knew that this was a person who had the final say, and after watching TVB soap operas in later generations, he knew that on Hong Kong Island, it was generally customary to call a big man a certain life.

The young man known as Xiang Sheng waved his hand, which was regarded as a greeting, and he stretched out his hand from afar, walked towards Xue Xiang, and the exit was in standard Mandarin: "This gentleman, the etiquette of this store is not good, no wonder!" ”

After speaking, Xiang Sheng said a few words to the man in black on the left behind him, and the man immediately shouted at a few young and beautiful girls in red clothes, hugged the third man forward, and finally put it on a wide sand, and went to work to serve tea and pour water.

Xiang Sheng's outstretched hand, Xue Xiang shook it lightly, then let it go, and said with a big grin: "As far as you are still a knower, yes, our men don't talk nonsense, your hands are tight, press something, exchange some money and spend, go, just go to Nasha, Lao Tzu will open your eyes." ”

Xue Xiang said this, the big man behind Xiang Sheng changed his color, but Xiang Sheng's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Listening to this gentleman's accent, is he from the capital, and he hasn't asked for the name of Gao?" ”

Xue Xiang waved his hand, his face full of impatience: "Xue Xiang! Okay, don't ask, Lao Tzu is here to do business with you, don't just be blind to me, quickly call all the masters in your shop, and call a few doctors, don't be scared to death later, and I didn't say hello in advance. ”

After speaking, Xue Xiang ignored everyone, strode towards the lame old man, and when he got closer, he sat on the sand and tasted tea in a leisurely manner.

"Xiang Sheng, I think it's just two smuggled buns, let's rush the big guy here, I think it's better to get out first, let's find a secluded place..."

"Shut up, dogs can't change what they eat shit, what is this place? The set of fighting, killing, and killing, put it away for Lao Tzu. Xiang Sheng stared at Brother Hao who had just spoken out with gloomy eyes, and reprimanded in a deep voice.

After training a little brother, Xiang Sheng snapped his fingers, and the man in black who had just greeted the girl in red to serve the lame third brother immediately walked towards the counter, and before long, four old men in the sixtieth armor stepped out from the small door on the side of the counter.

Xiang Sheng waved his hand to stop everyone's greeting, made a gesture, and strode towards the sand where Xue Xiang was, followed by the four old men who followed closely.

However, he said that his real name was Xiang Qiang, and he was the third son of Xiang Yan, the former leader of the "Yizitang", with a gloomy and stubborn personality and a ruthless figure. After his old man Xiang Yan abdicated due to physical reasons, he took refuge in the treasure island, but the three brothers of Xiang Qiang supported the "Yizitang", and in recent years, the momentum of the exhibition has been "old K".

And the reason why this strong tolerated Xue Xiang so much, and according to Xue Xiang's request, attracted an old man, it was not that he was born with a good temper. Instead, Xiang Qiang relied on his intuition to believe that Xue Xiang had seen the world and must have good things in his hands.

Xiang Qiang's judgment was not only from Xue Xiang's standard Beijing accent, but Xue Xiang's demeanor when he entered the door, and he was not moved by the brilliance of this hall, where is the bearing that an ordinary big 6 boy should have. And Xue Xiang's ruffian cavity, when he heard it, he was not pretending, but with a rushing momentum, which showed that he was full of confidence.

As soon as Xiang Qiang led the four old men to sit down, Xue Xiang beckoned the woman in red standing on the side to remove the teacups and fruit plates on the table, and asked people to carefully wipe a piece of the coffee table, before opening the mahogany box, putting the silk scroll on it, and slowly spreading it out.

The whole coffee table is very long, more than four meters, the painting scroll is rolled together, the volume seems not to be large, but a cloth is unfolded, it is actually three-quarters of the coffee table, and then, Xue Xiang snapped his fingers, the lame third person understood, and immediately talked to himself.

"The name of the painting is "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", the author of the fifth generation of painter Gu Hongzhong, painted in the Southern Tang Dynasty Li Houzhu period, size: 28.7 cm wide, 335.5 cm long, the whole picture is neat, delicate, the line drawing is accurate and elegant, and the characters are mostly made of vermilion, light blue, light green, orange and yellow and other bright colors............."

When the lame third man saw the antiques, it was almost like taking a tranquilizer, at this time, he was calm and calm, his bearing was like that, he had a mouthful of Beijing films, his voice was loud, and his words were clear, so that everyone could hear it clearly.

This time the lame third man introduced the painting, which was explained by Xue Xiang in advance early this morning. At that time, the lame third man almost didn't go crazy when he saw "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", and when he heard Xue Xiang say that he was going to take this national treasure, he immediately had a temper and didn't agree to anything, and finally, Xue Xianghao said that he promised to only be a month, and after a month, he would redeem it immediately, and threatened that if the lame third child didn't help, the painting would be cheap, and the money would not be enough, so he would have to replace it with a dead pawn and not redeem it.
