Two o'clock in the afternoon, Gulou District, Shicheng Road, National Arts Exhibition. Zhao Yuanshan did not take Xu Zheng and them to the ancient culture street on the side of the Confucius Temple, because they all sell finished jade, and the price is very high, and this is the largest Hetian jade trading place in the urban area of Changming City.

"It's right for you to come to me to buy jade, in fact, many jade mines in our country have been exhausted, such as the Dushan jade mine in Yangnan City, Zhongping Province, which has long been sealed. Because of the large profits of jade, most of our domestic jadeite and Hetian jade are now Russian jade, and even Guatemalan jadeite, otherwise how can there be so many genuine products for sale..."Zhao Yuanshan walked them in, and told them the basic market of jade now, according to what he said, buying jade must be to buy seed jade rough, first, the price is low, and second, this can see whether it is genuine.

Because the methods of counterfeiting are too advanced now, even if the counterfeiter buys Russian jade for processing, even a second-rate expert like him will be eye-catching.

"Grandpa Zhao, how can you be a second-rate expert?" Zhao Yuanshan laughed,

"There is a specialization, I actually know a little about these jades, if I can identify the ancient jade, I can still say a thing or two, but the ancient jade is really inherited and we can't afford it, the ones that can be bought, you are a policeman, you also know, you can't make mistakes." Even if Gu Yu is rich, Xu Zheng will not buy it, first, there are indeed few inheritances, and less is particularly valuable; The second is the ancient jade dug out of the ancient tomb, and this kind of jade cannot be wanted.

While talking, Zhao Yuanshan took them into a jade shop, the façade looked small, and when they entered, they found that there was no one here, and there was a corridor leading directly to the backyard, and the backyard could be described as full of people.

Seeing that it was Zhao Yuanshan coming, a middle-aged man with a mustache soon greeted him.

"Why is Uncle Zhao here today, you don't say hello in advance." Zhao Yuanshan basically never came to him, that is, when he opened, he was invited by this mustachioed father by relying on the relationship of an old friend, because all the rough stones sold here are tens of millions of transactions, and even sometimes if it is a jade rough stone, the transaction volume will be hundreds of millions a day, how can he play this thing.

In fact, the main reason is that he is not a professional in this industry.

"Bring a few juniors over for a walk, young and young, I want to buy a genuine product, no, I'll take them to you for a walk, Xiaozheng, this is Boss Tang, you call Uncle Tang." This is the grandson of my old friend, Xu Zheng. Xu Zheng and Han Xin hurriedly performed the junior ceremony, Tang Liangcheng saw Zhao Yuanshan so solemnly introduced Xu Zheng, and he also paid attention to it.

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to the backyard for a walk, it just so happens that you're playing with gambling stones inside, and you guys are also wonderful." Of course, I'll say it bluntly for our own people, and Uncle Zhao also knows that gambling on stones is risky, so let's just watch and play. "Xu Zheng has heard of this gambling stone, and he suddenly became curious when he heard it, he must not be able to afford to play, but he can take a look at the excitement, Zhao Yuanshan did not object, young people, it is always a good thing to see more.

When I walked to the backyard, I found that the place here is quite large, more than 500 square meters, full of people, looking at the clothes and jewelry are either rich or expensive, at this time they are all around a machine to see, it turns out that the workers are calcing stones at this time.

After Tang Liangcheng brought Xu Zheng and them over, he went to work on other things, there were a lot of people on vacation these days, but he still arranged a guy to follow Xu Zheng and them.

Zhao Yuanshan looked at the process of calcifying the stone and explained it to Xu Zheng,

"They are now opening a piece of jadeite, where is the specific origin, you Grandpa Zhao can't see it, generally open the window first, see if there are flowers, and then cut, a knife down, out of the water is heaven, if not, these tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, some rough stones even hundreds of millions, have to be lost." Han Xin was nervous by what he said, and grabbed Xu Zheng's sleeve,

"Xiaozheng, we can't gamble on stones." Xu Zheng patted her hand,

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxin, we can't afford to play with this thing." Han Xin also heard it, with Xu Zheng's hobby of buying materials, he couldn't save money, and he just spent the 100,000 yuan in his hand today, my mother was right, men can't have money, and if they have money, they will buy things indiscriminately, now think about it, Dad's hobby of playing with mobile phones is the most money-saving and least worrying.

Xu Zhengke couldn't guess Han Xin's crankiness, and at this time he felt someone looking at him with hatred.

He was surprised, I'll go, does this advanced tracking and anti-reconnaissance technology still have self-induction? He didn't look back, he thought for a moment, he didn't seem to offend anyone, because he basically sent everyone to prison.

Huang Xinyi has been staring at Xu Zheng, wanting to see if he will fall into this gambling stone of heaven and hell, and saw Xu Zheng frowning,

"Xu Zheng, you don't want to try it, do you?"

"No, it seems that an old man is watching me from behind me, you secretly take a picture with your mobile phone, remember, don't do it deliberately." He whispered.

After Xu Zheng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the stone dissolving machine, and at this time, he cut down from one-third of the jade rough with a knife, and the two stones separated, and everyone looked at the stone section and sighed in unison.

Zhao Yuanshan raised his glasses, turned his head and explained to Xu Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, see it, this is the solution, such a big rough stone, it is estimated that the transaction price should be more than four million..."

"This rough stone is from Laokeng in northern Myanmar, 6.3 million." When Zhao Yuanshan heard it, he sighed twice,

"Look, this knife, the 6.3 million will be lost." Xu Zheng was at the scene, looking at the buyer of the original stone, and with a gray face, he instructed the master to continue to untie the remaining two stones, but judging from the expressions of everyone at the scene, he guessed that if he continued to solve it, it would be something to solve.

Sure enough, after cutting several times in a row, it still collapsed to the house. In the end, the man didn't even do any face-saving work, and just flicked his sleeves and left here with the secretary.

Like this, the calcite collapses, and it also affects the business of the main family, after all, although the calcite depends on eyesight, most of it still depends on luck.

"Xu Zheng, I took the opportunity to shoot a circle just now, take a look, who is it?" Huang Xinyi handed the phone to Xu Zheng, he took it and opened it, and recognized the person after two glances.

Ji Zhang, during the Chinese New Year, Xu Zheng sent the police to participate in the arrest of gambling in a five-star hotel, and at the back door of the hotel Xu Zheng had a feud with this person named Ji Zhang, at that time his two subordinates were very powerful, and now they are not here, they should not come out, right?

However, the force value of that person named Da Zhuang is really powerful, according to the fact that he injured many policemen, and finally sentenced him to three years for the crime of obstructing official business and attacking the police, but this person named Ji Zhang seems to have only been fined, because he was arrested so much

The "guest" had no one to tell if he was playing cards or not. Xu Zheng also asked afterwards, how could he have thought that there was still a chance to meet, now that he looks, the circle of this rich man is still quite small, or this Ji Zhang is there him wherever he gambles.

"Do you know the man in the video?" Xu Zheng pointed to Huang Xinyi. Huang Xinyi shook her head,

"Let me ask others, what circles in Changming City do I rarely participate in." Xu Zheng stopped,

"No, he may know about your check, there's no need." It's really not necessary, because this Ji Zhang took the opportunity to come over after the crowd dispersed.

"Officer Xu, do you have time to talk?" Xu Zheng nodded and walked to the side with him,

"Mr. Ji is very hostile to me, and I am like a thorn in my body so far away." For these so-called rich second-generation scumbags, Xu Zheng is generally not polite, not to mention that people still hate you.

"Officer Xu's senses are sharp enough, and he is convinced, and he is indeed worthy of the rumored Detective Xu within the police, I am also telling you the truth, I am not looking for you to take revenge this time, and I don't dare. Alas, I'm not afraid of your jokes! I thought you were a little policeman, but I found the son of your city boss, and he actually heard your name, hey, he left without saying a word. Yes, it just so happens that we meet by chance today, so let's laugh at the grudge. That's it, Officer Xu's expenses today are on my head, and I will have a drink at night, so let's get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows, how about it? Xu Zheng didn't react to Ji Zhang's confession, these so-called rich sons who are high in the game world, they can't cooperate, and if they can't cooperate, they don't want to become enemies, this is the reason they do things.

"Forget about drinking, Mr. Ji's confession is very sincere, don't worry, I will only do my job." Although he knew that this Ji Zhang had hatred for himself, he definitely couldn't slap his face like he wrote on this occasion, they were all civilized people, and even shook each other's hands when they separated.

Seeing Xu Zheng walking back, Zhao Yuanshan and the others asked what was going on, Xu Zheng smiled,

"This is a friend who doesn't know each other well, and we meet and talk. Grandpa Zhao, let's go and see what you said about the seed jade and mountain materials, what kind of rough stone is this, I can't afford to play with it. ”

"You, isn't this a way to give you a rise in knowledge?" Zhao Yuanshan said and greeted Xu Zheng and Han Xin They went to another exhibition hall, where there were all kinds of jade, there were all kinds of rough stones, of which Russian jade accounted for the majority.

Some of the rough stones are open windows, which are also gambling, called half betting, the price is hundreds of times more expensive than the original stone, Xu Zheng looked at the price marked below, and directly ran out of ideas, the lowest brick-sized window opened a large fingernail, and it cost more than 300,000 yuan, how to play this.

In the end, he still chose the finished jade of the mountain materials recovered by Tang Liangcheng, the quality was close to the seed jade, 10,000 grams, Xu Zheng bought ten grams, and it was uncomfortable to wear it no matter how heavy it was.

There is also modeling, gold or silver inlay is free, and it can be said according to the design style later, Tang Liangcheng can help contact the jade processing master here, Zhao Yuanshan didn't let him, saying that a friend of his is good at doing this.

In the end, Xu Zheng spent 100,000 yuan to buy ten grams of jade that seemed to be mountain material, but he guessed that this should be seed jade, because when Zhao Yuanshan asked Tang Liangcheng to take the materials, Tang Liangcheng inexplicably reopened a safe to take the jade.

After Zhao Yuanshan saw it, he patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything. Xu Zheng also saw it, this is the price of friendship, and it is also the price of favor, according to the price, there should be an error of about 20,000, he looked at Zhao Yuanshan, Zhao Yuanshan smiled, and did not speak.

Walking out of this exhibition, Zhao Yuanshan didn't mention what happened just now,

"Let's go, let's go to your Ni Dahua Ni grandfather's house, he is an old craftsman who makes jade, and at present, he is considered the top craftsman of the Su School." Su Pai's jade carving also has a long history in Changming City, craftsmen are generally called Su Gong, Ni Dahua Xu Zheng has seen it many times, I really don't know that his achievements are so high, I didn't expect grandma These old partners are all hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

On the way, Han Xin asked, "Grandpa Zhao, do you know the master who has oil paintings and watches?" Zhao Yuanshan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, and Xu Zheng looked at each other and laughed, Xu Zheng said: "Sister Xiaoxin, have you forgotten that Grandpa Zhao is an expert in this area?" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry Grandpa Zhao, I just thought you were an expert in the restoration of Chinese paintings." Zhao Yuanshan explained: "I have also studied oil paintings, in comparison, I must be more good at Chinese painting watching, what, what oil paintings do you have to install watches, my old man is just idle and has no time." Han Xin is still a little embarrassed, Zhao Yuanshan is a top craftsman in this area, she is afraid that Xu Zheng's paintings will not be able to reach the elegant hall, although she thinks it looks good.

However, in the end, Xu Zheng still turned home, picked up the oil painting, and drove to Grandpa Ni's house. It's not far, after two or three intersections, after that, they politely greeted each other for a while, explaining the intention, Ni Dahua is the kind of old craftsman who looks like a toad glass, and his eyes are turned up to look at people.

After sitting down, the two old men became interested in Han Xindai's oil painting, because they learned that it was painted by Xu Zheng, you know, these lonely old men are so interested in Xu Zheng's grandmother Su Tongyun, it is not just friendship.

When I opened it, it was the spring outing that Xu Zheng painted for Han Xin yesterday. Zhao Yuanshan was curious,

"The color of the grass on the painting is still very immature, but the more you look up, the more mature the color matching, and when it comes to the characters, especially the appearance, and the layering of the colors, the demeanor has begun to appear at the master level." Therefore, he doesn't believe that this painting was painted by Xu Zheng, but he is more or less a master-level task of appreciating oil paintings, and he can see many contradictions in this painting, such as the characters are very plump and the scenery is average.

"Xiaozheng, I didn't expect your sketch to be in the room, but I still have to strengthen my training in writing about the scenery." Xu Zheng can only hehe, there is no way, the system only gives advanced sketching techniques.

Ni Dahua looked at the painting and said what Zhao Yuanshan didn't say,

"Xiao Zheng'er, do you have any other crafts, I look at the characters you painted, cough cough, the most perfect place is..."

"It's okay Grandpa Zhao, Sister Xiaoxin also knows now, Grandpa Ni, I still have a skull restoration technique, which should be regarded as reaching the realm of a master." Ni Dahua was stunned,

"Good boy, I can't imagine it, you still have this talent, it's good, it's just right for your major. Come, I'll take a look at the jade materials you brought. "Open the small package and pour out a small piece of jade, Ni Dahua put on his eyes, looked at the light, and observed carefully,

"This jade material is good, ten grams, right? In this way, it is possible to make a pendant, and a pair of earrings, just right. The old man doesn't charge you any money for other inlay materials, including craftsmanship fees. But I have one condition, Xiao Zheng'er, you have to agree. Without waiting for Xu Zheng to inquire carefully, Ni Dahua said with a smile: "You draw me a sketch, old man, I am 68 years old this year, you can draw me younger, 50 years old, okay?" Xu Zheng understood what he meant when he thought about it, Su Gong carved the best in the world, and when it came to the completion of the craft, most people were already fifty or sixty years old, so what Ni Dahua pursued was the spirit of his time, and he wanted Xu Zheng to be able to draw the spirit of his year.

Ni Dahua can see from Xu Zheng's paintings that he painted the sketch first before he began to cover the color, in contrast, the essence of his painting is still the skeleton of the sketch.

That's why he offered to let Xu Zheng sketch him. Xu Zheng smiled confidently,

"Grandpa Ni is fine, but I have to observe the working state of your old man when he is carving." Ni Dahua smiled,

"You kid, come on, come into my studio, Xiao Xin'er, think about it, let Grandpa Ni carve what shape for you, do you want to float on it?" Han Xin thought about it for a long time in the end, but he didn't have any ideas, and finally Huang Xinyi suggested,

"Xiaoxin, I see that your smile is very beautiful on this painting, so let Grandpa Ni carve a smiling face on it, what do you think?" This suggestion, everyone compared it, and they all thought it was very good.

In this way, several people watched Ni Dahua's treatment of jade, while Xu Zheng carefully observed the state of the old man's work, and in the end, he had done it with confidence.
