One morning a few days later, the weather was somewhat overcast. As soon as the "Yongchang pawnshop" opened, a middle-aged woman dressed in a foreign style came in, as soon as she entered the door, she took out a jade bracelet and asked the Qiu steward to see, the person who received him was Xiao Ming, and the person who came was Bai Haitang.

Xiao Ming said, "Wait a minute. ”

After a while, Steward Qiu came over, he was a little haggard, there was a customer in the store, Steward Qiu asked Bai Haitang, who was standing in front of the counter, and said, "Are you looking for me?" ”

Bai Haitang took out the bracelet and gave it to Steward Qiu: "You can show this bracelet." ”

Steward Qiu looked left and right, and then said: "Jadeite, good condition, 600 yuan." ”

Begonia Bai: "Uh-huh. “

Steward Qiu looked at Bai Haitang's thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high nose bridge, and said, "You're not a local, how do you know me?" ”

Bai Haitang: "Tang Yuan, I have relatives, of course I want to ask, which pawnshop is suitable, they introduced that the price of Yongchang pawnshop is fair, and there is a Qiu steward who is very knowledgeable." ”

Steward Qiu was a little proud, and when he turned around, he didn't expect the shopkeeper Wang to stand behind him. Steward Qiu showed the bracelet to the shopkeeper Wang, whispered something, and then began to press the handprint, draw the pledge, and go through the formalities.

Bai Haitang took the money and said, "Steward Qiu, my father died and left me some treasures, I want to invite you to come to the house to have a look, is it okay?" ”

Steward Qiu hesitated: "We don't have this service, you better take the pawnshop." ”

Bai Haitang: "Understood. I'll talk to my family about coming back. ”

After Bai Haitang walked out of the pawnshop, he took his jujube red horse, and was just about to get on the horse, when Steward Qiu ran out.

Steward Qiu said to Bai Haitang: "This eldest sister, where is your home, tell me the address, and I will go there myself in a few days." ”

This time it was Bai Haitang's turn to hesitate, and she said, "You set a date for me to pick you up." It's not convenient to tell you my home address. ”

"Five days later, in Youshi, Qingfeng Restaurant." After speaking, Steward Qiu did not return to the store.

Bai Haitang got on the horse, Zhu Yonghe was already waiting for Bai Haitang at the corner of the street, after the two met, Bai Haitang reported the situation, Zhu Yonghe was very happy.

Today, Bai Haitang came to the pawnshop to find Steward Qiu, it was Zhu Yong's decision to discuss with the two of them for two days, if he could be friends with Steward Qiu, ask him to help sell the plates, and everything would be fine. They found a bracelet among the double-braided treasures to make a temptation.

Bai Haitang: "How much is this bracelet today, guess." ”

"Three Hundred"

"Six Hundred"

"God, I can't think of it. Tell me about Steward Qiu's appearance, I don't think it's him. ”

Bai Haitang said happily: "White, medium height, small voice, afraid of stepping on ants like small eyes." ”

Zhu Yonghe: "It's him." Do you see the king's shopkeeper? ”

Bai Haitang: "Short, a little fat, with a mustache under his nose, didn't you say it, it's him." Showed up and didn't talk to him. Steward Qiu said, five days later, when you are here, Qingfeng Restaurant will meet, what should we say if he is coming? ”

Zhu Yonghe: "Go home quickly and discuss it in the evening." ”

Bai Haitang excitedly: "What's the hurry." I went to Lao Huo's dim sum shop to buy two catties of dim sum. Buy a few more meters of cloth. ”

Zhu Yonghe: "Look at this day, maybe it's going to rain." More on that next time. The two whipped away.

What they never expected was that after looking at the bracelet, Steward Qiu recognized at a glance that it was the contents of the double-braid box, because he received the double-braid when it came to archive, and he had seen all these things, of course, it was impossible for the shopkeeper to know the secret.

Meizi temporarily lived in the "Yongchang pawnshop" of the king's shopkeeper, and said that she was a cousin, and that night, it was really raining, and it was very big.

According to the description of the shopkeeper Wang, Meizi finally painted the portrait of Zhu Yonghe. The shopkeeper Wang always felt awkward, but he couldn't point out the specific awkwardness, seeing that Meizi's arms were sore, and he kept shaking his arms, so he proposed to rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Vietnamese team leader came at this time, and the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly prepared the meal. Vietnam said that they just want to eat the mushroom meat slices here and make lo mein. Vietnam took out a bottle of sake from his bag, saying that it was given by a friend who had just returned from China, and Mei Zi happily poured three glasses of wine.

After a while, the guy Xiao Ming brought three bowls of lo mein and two plates of cold vegetables, and the three of them ate them.

Vietnam suddenly said: "Shan Xianjun, you said that Zhang Zuolin died in June, it's almost August, and Tang Yuan's memorial service is not yet open, what is the dynamic?" ”

Regarding Zhang Zuolin, for the Japanese, they hate him and can't do without him. The supreme commander of the Northeast, whose title is Generalissimo of the Republic of China and the supreme ruler of the Beiyang Military Government, all say that the three eastern provinces are firmly controlled by him, but in fact they are the four eastern provinces, because there is still a Rehe.

The Japanese have always supported Zhang Zuolin, hoping that this place will be independent of the central government, and that the Japanese will continue to infiltrate the northeast, and the forces of Japan's "Manchurian Railway" have achieved great development after many years of operation, basically monopolizing the right to build roads in the northeast, and have a layout in all aspects such as mining, immigration, and reclamation.

The king's shopkeeper said, "You should call me the king's shopkeeper." In my opinion, the more chaotic the better, the right to build the way is to strangle their ropes, and sooner or later this place will be ours. What I'm paying attention to now is the meeting of the Communist Party in Moscow, how did so many people cross the border? What's next for them? ”

Meizi: "You still pay attention to the Communist Party?" ”

The king's shopkeeper: "Don't underestimate it." ”

Meizi: "By the way, do you want to let Steward Qiu see the portrait, and I will change it?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang: "Yes." ”

Meizi: "After lunch today, I saw that he bought a small hairpin and a pair of women's gloves. ”

Vietnam: "To his daughter? ”

The king's shopkeeper: "I heard him say that he has a daughter. ”

Meizi: "Most people don't buy gifts until they leave. ”

Shopkeeper Wang: "I feel like he's getting ready to go." ”

"Control it first and look for opportunities." Vietnam made a clicking gesture.

People who like cultural relics and antiques know a little bit of history, have good brains, and are very sensitive. On such a rainy night, Steward Qiu was very worried, and he was always entangled whether to go or not, if he left the pawnshop at this time, his deposit and three months' salary would not be given by the king's shopkeeper.

Throughout the day, Steward Qiu's heart was not calm, the woman who was the bracelet in the morning obviously came to test herself, and she had a hunch that this was the person who took the plate to ask for herself, God forbid, and she was one step closer to the plate.

Coincidentally, this evening, after cleaning and pouring dirty soil, he accidentally saw that there were many torn waste paper in the dirty soil bucket, the pawnshop had never had this thing, he secretly took two torn papers, went back to the house and unfolded it, it was a portrait, although it was a little unclear, but the scar on the face of the person in the painting was obvious, he immediately guessed that this was the shopkeeper Wang asked his cousin to draw "the person who took the double pigtail and stored the kiln"!

Steward Qiu suddenly thought that after he resigned, several warehouse keys that had been in his hands were taken away by the shopkeeper Wang, and recently he asked him, intentionally or unintentionally, when he first collected the pigtails and stored them in the kiln, the appearance of the pigtails, the background, the range of activities, and what the contents of the box were.

When these things came together, a sense of fear came over Steward Qiu,......。
