A shop called "Peder Antique Shop" in the inner city of Bianjing:

The shopkeeper was a very old man, who was sitting on a chair in the courtyard behind the shop, squinting in the sun, looking leisurely and complacent.

A young man ran in and whispered something in his ear.

The shopkeeper was startled, his eyes widened instantly, and he was immediately stabbed by the sunlight and suddenly closed.

Squeezed his slightly loose eyelids hard and stared at the guy's face.

"You're right?"

"You can't be wrong, the villain once saw the illustration of this treasure a few days ago." The guy replied.

"Go back quickly, don't let them get away, this shopkeeper will pass." The shopkeeper said, and walked quickly into the room on the side.

Changed into a very clean robe, and the shopkeeper deliberately pretended to be slow and leisurely, and walked to the front of the shop.

In front of the counter, two attractive women stood side by side, the younger of which seemed to be waiting impatiently.

"Do you have anything to do with the girls?" The shopkeeper glanced at the woman in front of him a few times and asked.

The older woman glanced at him.

"This girl does have a family heirloom treasure that she is eager to sell, but this treasure is very old, and I am afraid that the shopkeeper will not know it." The woman didn't seem to believe the shopkeeper.

"Although the little old man is not talented, but he has been engaged in this business for some years, the girl just brings it, if the little old man does not know, he should invite others to come." The shopkeeper expressed disdain.

The woman nodded.

"In that case, please take a look inside the shopkeeper."

"Okay, let's ask the two girls to move behind." The shopkeeper said, making a gesture of please.

The three of them walked to the back yard, and then entered a relatively dimly lit room.

"It's clean here, the girl just has to ask for the treasure." The shopkeeper said.

The woman then took out a beautifully carved sandalwood box from the inside of the robe, slowly opened it, and lifted the black oilcloth covered inside.

"Please also ask the shopkeeper to light the candles." The woman said.

The shopkeeper obediently lit a candle.

The woman carefully placed the wooden box on the table.

The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the wooden box, and he slowly approached. Then, with two fingers, he slowly took out the contents and gently placed them under the candle.

This Zhongshi bottle glows with an unusual luster in the light of the candle.

Although the wine bottle was just an ordinary copper product, because of its intricate carving, the vivid pattern on the surface, and the large characters that were unrecognizable but could not be ignored, the shopkeeper's eyes still lit up, and he was so excited that he even breathed heavily.

In order to get this female bottle, Lord Li Hui took great pains, but he didn't expect that this treasure from the ancient period would now appear in the hands of two women.

Trying to calm his heartbeat, the shopkeeper deliberately made a casual appearance, as if talking to himself, and the two of them could hear: "I think I am a treasure, but it turns out to be just an ordinary wine bottle." ”

"The shopkeeper thinks this treasure is very common?" The older woman asked, looking a little displeased.

"Don't hide it from the girl, there are no less than dozens of such goods in my store, and there is really nothing unusual about it." The shopkeeper's answer.

The two women glanced at each other, as if they were a little surprised by the shopkeeper's attitude.

"I said that this thing is not a treasure, but my sister still doesn't believe it." The young woman said, "If you want me to see it, you should take it home and only make decorations, and Hugh will take it out again to show others." ”

The older woman seemed to be a little unwilling.

"Is the shopkeeper sure that this thing is just an ordinary thing?"

Seeing that the two women were successfully deceived by themselves, the shopkeeper's face showed a very proud expression, but he nodded deliberately, "If the girl doesn't believe it, you can go to the front and take a look, none of those things in my shop are extraordinary." ”

"If it weren't for the trouble, the little woman wouldn't have taken it out." The older woman covered the wooden box and said with a helpless look.

"Sister Hugh is rambling here, let's go back and find another way." Said the younger woman.

"In this case, there is a shopkeeper, and the little woman says goodbye." As she spoke, the older woman casually put the wooden box in her pocket and looked like she was about to leave.

"Wait." The shopkeeper lost no time in shouting.

The two women turned back.

"The girl stays for the time being, and listens to the little old man." The shopkeeper made a great appearance, "Although this thing is ordinary, but it is also an antiquity of the Later Han Dynasty, if the girl is willing to make a move, the shopkeeper can still consider it, and it must remain in the hands of the girl and there is no other use." ”

"The shopkeeper really wants it?" The young woman said with a look of surprise on her face.

"The shopkeeper also doesn't want the two girls to be disappointed, although the price will not be very high, but after all, it can temporarily relieve the girl's difficulties." The shopkeeper said.

The young woman pushed her sister.

"In that case, thank you first, shopkeeper." The older woman said, "But I wonder how much money the shopkeeper can give?" ”

The shopkeeper deliberately pondered for a moment, and then stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty taels?" The young woman was surprised.

The shopkeeper was stunned, then nodded.

The older woman seemed to be a little hesitant.

"Sister Hugh is like this again, thirty taels of silver is enough." The young woman said impatiently.

The older woman sighed softly.

"It's fine."

The rest is simple.

The shopkeeper took out thirty taels of silver from the box, gave it to the two sisters, and then watched the woman take out a wooden box from her pocket and put it on the table.

After sending the two women away, the shopkeeper quickly wrapped the wooden box in a piece of black cloth and put it into a pocket that was close to his body.

The two women, who had already walked away, turned back at this time.

"Sister Chen, you send the treasure bottle back to Master Bao first, and the little sister follows him." Cao Jiangxian said to Chen Yuniang.

Chen Yuniang touched the wooden box inside the robe, and a very relaxed smile appeared on her face.

The wine bottle that was taken away by the shopkeeper was actually customized by Lord Bao overnight yesterday.

In front of such a veteran, Chen Yuniang can quickly drop the two wine bottles without revealing a trace, which shows her courage and wisdom.

Now, what the two of them have to do is to follow Master Bao's instructions to confirm whether this shopkeeper really went to the mansion of Li Hui, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

In fact, not far from Chen Yuniang and Cao Jiangxian, there were two pairs of eyes staring here, which were Zhan Zhao and another official from Kaifeng Mansion.

Now, the goal of the four is the same, which is to keep up with the store.

"Little sister, be careful, beware of being recognized by the store, and come back to find you." Chen Yuniang told Cao Jiangxian.

Cao Jiangxian nodded and followed behind the shopkeeper from a distance.

Cao Jiangxian knew that the next task for the two of them to complete was the most arduous.
