Looking at the beggar old man in front of him, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this old man simply took himself for a fool.

But Lu Yanqing was not annoyed by this, but talked to him and had fun.

"Oh, it's He Baotu, can you take it out for me to see?"

Lu Yanqing pretended to be very interested and asked out loud.

But at this moment, the old man's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, but then he returned to normal and said, "Since it is a treasure map, how can you easily view it?" ”

The light in the old man's eyes naturally failed to escape Lu Yanqing's eyes, thinking that this old man should be secretly glad that he had taken the bait.

Lu Yanqing said: "But you don't let me check it, how do I know if your treasure map is true or fake?" I don't know if it's true or not, how dare I buy it? ”

The old man frowned and struggled for a few breaths when he heard this, and then sighed lightly and compromised: "Okay, then I'll show it to you, but the content of it can't be shown to you." ”

As he spoke, the old man took out a cowhide dossier from his bosom.

Seeing this, Lu Yanqing couldn't help but be slightly stunned, I have to say that this old man has also invested money in order to trap people, and this good cowhide file will cost one or two silver, but thinking that as long as he sells it, he can make a net profit of nine taels, and Lu Yanqing is relieved.

"You see, this treasure map is a few years old." The old man held up the cowhide file in front of Lu Yanqing and showed it.

Lu Yanqing looked at it carefully for a moment, this cowhide dossier was indeed very old, but it was also possible that it was deliberately old.

"Since it's a treasure map, why don't you go hunt for it yourself?" Lu Yanqing asked.

Lu Yanqing planned to let the old man show his feet, and it would be more interesting to fight with him.

The old man smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Treasures are not so easy to find, I am just a poor and broken beggar, although I lack money, I also spare my life." ”

Lu Yanqing smiled, "Heh, you can see it clearly." ”

"Do you buy it or not? If you don't buy me, you'll go, don't waste my time. ”

The old man was a little impatient, obviously not wanting to waste time with Lu Yanqing here.

Lu Yanqing thought for a moment, and then responded: "You let me see the contents, if it is really a treasure map, how about I buy it?" ”

"No way!" The old man sternly refused, "If you want to see this treasure map, then why should I sell you?" ”

"You're just showing me an inconsequential corner." Lu Yanqing suggested.

"Okay." The old man gritted his teeth and agreed, "In that case, then I'll show you." ”

As he spoke, he slowly unfolded the cowhide dossier, and only leaked out one corner of it for Lu Yanqing to see.

"Come close to me, and don't let anyone else look at me."

The old man said cautiously, urging Lu Yanqing to lean beside him.

Lu Yanqing leaned forward and saw that a map had indeed been drawn in the file.

But at this moment, a character attracted Lu Yanqing's attention, Lu Yanqing was a little familiar with that character, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized the origin of that character, which made Lu Yanqing couldn't help but be shocked.

"Alright, almost." The old man put the file away: "What, I didn't lie to you, this is really a treasure map, do you buy it or not?" ”

"Lu Lang, what are you doing?"

Mo Wanyan and Li Sisi appeared behind Lu Yanqing at some point, startling Lu Yanqing, who was thinking.

Lu Yanqing breathed a long sigh of relief and explained aloud: "This old man wants to sell me a treasure map." ”

"What? Selling treasure maps? This is the most common trick of beggars in Chu Jingcheng, you can't believe it, master. ”

As he spoke, Li Sisi looked at the old man with an annoyed face, and said loudly: "Stay away from my master, my master won't fall for you." ”

Although Li Sisi, this girl is handsome, but her temper is quite hot, which can make the old man retreat again and again.

Seeing that Lu Yanqing still didn't say anything, the old man wanted to turn around and leave without saying a word.

But Lu Yanqing suddenly said in a loud voice: "I want the treasure map." ”

As he spoke, Lu Yanqing took off his purse from his waist and took out five taels of silver.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flashed again, and the corners of his mouth also pulled out a meaningful smile, and he turned to lean towards Lu Yanqing.

"Sir, are you crazy? Spend ten taels of silver to buy that broken file? Li Sisi's face was full of incredulity, in her opinion, Lu Yanqing, as a Confucian saint, how could she be deceived by such a low-level deception, but Lu Yanqing's actions subverted Li Sisi's cognition.

And Mo Wanyan on the side was also frowning, Lu Yanqing was not a reckless person, but how could he think of buying that treasure map? Is there some mystery in that treasure map?

Thinking of this, Mo Wanyan pulled Lu Yanqing's cuffs, Lu Yanqing looked at Mo Wanyan after feeling the pull, then smiled at him, nodded and didn't say anything, and then handed ten taels of silver to the old man.

After the old man took the silver, he handed over the treasure map to Lu Yanqing's hand, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you Lu Gongzi, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

As he spoke, the old man walked leisurely into the distance, and his body, which was originally a little rickety, also straightened up, which made Lu Yanqing and the others stunned in place.

The first to come back to his senses was Li Sisi, seeing that the old man's gap between the front and back was so big, he must have pretended to win sympathy, which means that his master was deceived.

"Master, that person is a liar, hurry up and chase him!"

As he spoke, Li Sisi took the lead and ran after the old man, but the old man disappeared in an instant after blending in the crowd. Although Lu Yanqing's eyes were fixed on the old man, Lu Yanqing still didn't know how the old man disappeared, which surprised him.

"Gone." Mo Wanyan muttered stunned.

"Well, it's gone." Lu Yanqing came back to his senses and said with a solemn face: "This old man is not simple. ”

Lu Yan cleared the shock of the old man's disappearance, but what was even more surprised was how the old man knew his name, he obviously didn't tell him his name.

But it is not excluded that when Lu Yanqing was shopping with the two girls, the two women's address to themselves was heard by the old man, but how to explain that it disappeared out of thin air?

Lu Yanqing always felt that this old man was not simple, and this file was not simple.

And the character that Lu Yanqing saw just now was none other than the almost lost Confucian pattern.

But Lu Yanqing didn't know what the specific Confucian pattern meant, so he could only wait to go back to Song Yuanzhen and Lian Fu Tao to discuss it together.

After a while, Li Sisi returned to the two of them dejectedly, and said aggrievedly: "Master, let that liar run away." ”

Lu Yanqing came back to his senses and comforted him: "It's okay, it's just ten taels of silver, not to mention that this treasure map is not necessarily fake." ”

"What? It doesn't have to be fake? Are you alright, sir? ”

After all, the matter was already clear in front of him, but he didn't expect Lu Yanqing to still have hope for this treasure map, which made Li Sisi very puzzled.

Lu Yanqing didn't say much, but changed the topic and said: "It's not early, let's go to lunch, go to the Baosheng Chamber of Commerce to rest after dinner, and wait for the auction." ”
