Chapter 033: Yue Wang Lou Tuesday Master
When we arrived in the town, Wu Meng and I went directly to the local police station, told the police about the situation of the fall off the cliff, recorded a confession, left contact information, and laid the body, and everything else had to wait for the police to contact Long Sanpi's family.
I discussed it with Wu Meng, if it weren't for the fact that we were coming to Yamen Town, Long Sanpi wouldn't have come out of this matter, although I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, so I couldn't let it go, and decided to give 200,000 to his family at that time. Although the main responsibility is no longer ours, at least we have some peace of mind, and we have to act according to our conscience.
Yamen Town is not a big place, but it is indeed a very suitable place for tourism, surrounded by mountains and rivers, antique, and there are many couples wearing Hanfu to take pictures. The two of us were already hungry, so we immediately found a restaurant to eat, and after eating, I used the hotel landline to call Wang Wenwen, but no one answered, so I had to accompany Wu Meng to find the person he was looking for.
Listening to Wu Meng, the boss who bought his eight-sided Han sword was surnamed Zhou, and opened a teahouse called Yuewanglou in the town.
When the driver heard that we were going to Yuewang Tower, he asked curiously, "You are engaged in antique trading, right?" ”
The two of us were stunned at first, I didn't understand why the driver suddenly asked, and when I inquired, I found out that the Yuewang Building we were going to was located in an antique street in the town. As for the boss surnamed Zhou, everyone who knows him is called Zhou Ye, this person has no other hobbies, he likes to collect antique cultural relics, and he is quite prestigious in the antique circle, many wealthy businessmen in the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao like to study with him, so Yuewanglou is also jokingly called "Yamen Antique Research Association" by the locals, but this is all to say better, rather than calling it "Research Society", it is better to call it "Reselling Center".
Listening to what the driver said, I thought to myself, to be able to make antiques so blatantly, obviously the background of the second master must be not small, it is estimated that there are people in the underworld and the white way, right? It stands to reason that such a figure with a head and a face should not be worse than the 400,000, right? After a while, you should be able to get the money.
But what if that Tuesday is a miser, an iron rooster that doesn't pull out a hair? You must know that Wu Meng is a stubborn donkey, and he can't pull back ten reins, what if this ......
I said to the driver: "We're going to find Zhou Ye, but we've never seen him in person, do you know how others are?" ”
The driver said: "Hey~ I heard that a tomb robber sold a fake to him before, good guy, he was almost killed." In a word, it's not easy to mess with. ”
I suddenly looked at Wu Meng and was a little worried, you must know that people have already paid, and we went to ask for it again at this time, so it doesn't matter how it is.
I stabbed Wu Meng with my arm and said softly: "Alas, I think it's better to forget it otherwise, right?" ”
Wu Meng hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's not good, it's all two shoulders and one head, what's there to be afraid of." Don't forget that we are people who have hit ghosts on winding mountain roads, ghost buildings in old alleys and escaped, and people who have beaten up corpses by the Yashan River. I have suffered so much along the way, I am afraid that he will be a bird! Say what Lao Tzu also wants to get the money! ”
Alas~ I was not surprised at all by this result, and I could only pray secretly in my heart that I wouldn't be thrown out sideways at that time.
……
When it comes to antique city, most people will first think of Panjiayuan or Liulichang in Beijing, and then there are several famous antique streets in Xi'an and Luoyang.
The streets are full of people, tourists are endless, mixed with foreigners from all over the world, and from time to time you can hear all kinds of broken Chinese from foreigners. There are many stalls and antique souvenirs sold everywhere, including teahouses and theaters, and you will forget what year it is when you walk in. There are elegantly decorated antique shops everywhere, and those who don't have much money in their pockets are really embarrassed to enter that door.
I noticed that there were a few middle-aged people hanging these headphones in the corner of the street, looking at the crowd coming and going, and at first glance it was plainclothes squatting. Although I have never been there, Panjiayuan is famous, and no one knows about playing antiques, and I have heard others say it. However, the antique city of Yamen Town is too strictly controlled, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a move here.
It is conceivable how fat the courage of the surnamed Zhou is, but this also shows in disguise that this person is quite hard in the background.
The two of us inquired along the way of some stalls, and only then did we find the location of the Yuewang Tower, only to see that it was an antique building that resembled a teahouse. Between the two circular doorposts at the entrance hangs a large plaque engraved with three glittering traditional characters.
Wu Meng said: "Lou, Wang, Yue? ”
I almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and said speechlessly: "It's Yuewanglou, read from right to left." ”
The two of us walked in while arguing, and chose a place to sit by the window, which was already full of tea customers, and the one who ran over with a teapot smiled at me and Wu Meng first, and said in a non-standard coastal Mandarin: "Two bosses, what kind of tea do you want to have?" ”
Wu Meng said three words: "My surname is Wu." Then he put a teacup upside down on the table, cocked Erlang's legs, ran Tang's eyes rolled, and said Wait a moment. I asked, "I just took a look and the tea here is not cheap." ”
"You know what!"
He pointed to the upside-down teacup on the table and said, "This is called seeing low, which shows that we are not here to drink tea." Don't talk and look at me for a while. ”
I said in my heart, "I'm still at the bottom, and I'll be thankful if I don't get beaten for a while."
Sure enough, in the next second, I noticed that something was wrong, there were eight tall strong men in the crowd, all of them with a cross-faced, wearing black vests, and their arms were thicker than my legs, and they were obviously moving closer to us.
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and just wanted to ask Wu Meng what to do, but this guy already had a beer bottle in his hand, this Nima is going to fight hard!
Seeing that the eight strong men were less than three meters away from us, they suddenly stopped, touched their left ear, presumably with equipment similar to walkie-talkies, and saw that they nodded vigorously, and then left. I let out a sigh of relief, cold sweat broke out, and Wu Meng also wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead with his sleeve.
At this time, the runner came back, motioned for us to go upstairs, please, led us all the way to the second floor, pushed open an antique carved hollow wooden door, and after entering, it was a large house, divided into two rooms by a landscape screen, with a bed on one side and a tea table on the other.
The room was empty at this time, the tea table was placed by the window, the wooden window was open, and from here, you could just see the tea guests and the empty table on the first floor. It seems that this is a private room, there are a few plates of dried fruit snacks on the table, and the one who ran the hall served us a pot of tea, saying that the master was receiving the VIP on Tuesday, and asked us to wait a while, drink tea and eat snacks first, and order anything at any time. After speaking, he retreated, leaving me and Wu Meng looking at each other.
Wu Meng was puzzled: "Which door is this selling?" He suddenly grabbed me: "Lao Chen, did you say that you would give us ...... here?" said and made a movement to wipe his neck.
"If people want to do it, they won't call us up at all."
Saying that, Wu Meng and I were chatting while drinking tea and eating melon seeds, and we waited for a long time and no one came. I can't contact Wang Wenwen, we don't have an arrangement, but I don't care about waiting a little longer, after a while, I heard a burst of applause from below, and I looked down, but there were a few plays on the empty stage, babbling, and performing Cantonese opera.
People here like to watch dramas and prefer to drink tea. In my hometown, if the family is poor and can't eat, they won't spend money to buy tea. But people here are different, no matter what the family conditions are, no matter how poor they are, they will buy tea, only good and bad.
I couldn't understand the Cantonese opera, I was a person who couldn't sit still, except when I was writing a novel, I was asked to sit for two minutes when I had nothing to do, which was worse than killing me, so I walked around the room.
The furnishings here are very elaborate, but they are all dead things, and after looking around, they are boring, so I grabbed a newspaper on the shelf next to it. When I opened it and looked at "July 6, 2019", it was actually last month's newspaper, "Heavy list news, the Han tomb in Tianfu City, Sichuan was stolen".
Wu Meng suddenly snatched the newspaper with his hand: "Oops, it's so hot", and as he spoke, he tore the newspaper in half and wiped his sweat. I said to myself, "The air conditioner here is so cool, where is it hot?"
He got up and stretched, and said to me, "Old Chen, why don't we go back." ”
I thought I had misheard and asked, "Go back?" You don't want money anymore? ”
"Alas, it's not just 400,000, don't do it. Give the bastard surnamed Zhou to buy medicine to eat. ”
I couldn't believe my ears, this was not at all like the Wu Meng I knew, so I touched his forehead: "Brother, you can't have a fever, right?" ”
"Oops, I'm normal." As he spoke, he pulled me up vigorously.
Wait, no......
He obviously saw the newspaper and suddenly said he wanted to go back. I suddenly had a bad feeling and just wanted to ask him......
At this time, the carved wooden door was pushed open, and then I heard the sound of gordon shoes, and a beautiful woman in a short white dress slowly walked out from behind the screen, with big eyes, melon seed face, and a slender figure, especially the legs, which made our eyes straight. This woman is very young, very temperamental, and there is a sense of arrogance between her eyebrows.
"Who is Wu Meng?"
The woman shook her long hair, squinted at the two of us, and saw that she should have just graduated from college, Wu Meng stood up and said, "I...... I am~"
The woman chuckled, sat down across from us, and said, "You are really bold, you dare to come to the door?" Have you read all the newspapers? ”
Newspaper? It turned out that the newspaper was deliberately thrown on the shelf for us to see.
"Oh, look...... Look~"
Wu Meng was very unconfident when he answered, as if he had been caught by this woman. Wu Meng said again: "I don't want the money, can't I go?" ”
Suddenly, the other party slapped the table: "No!!" After saying that, he lit himself a slender cigarette, which was very elegant, but it seemed to me to be a little mocking, as if it had eaten us.
"Say, should I call the police? Or do you turn yourself in? ”
As soon as I heard the word "alarm", I asked Wu Meng: "What's the matter?" Have you done something illegal? ”
Wu Meng was already sweating at this time, he got up and asked the other party: "Mei...... Beauty, what is your surname? ”
The woman held the cigarette and said, "Don't give your surname Zhou." ”
"Huh?! You're the second master, huh? ”
