Du Yongxiao left the Rose Company and still had a headache when he got in the car.

According to William Chen, if he could not come up with more attractive lots, the event would not have been a success.

But at a time like this, where can he find so many precious antiques, precious calligraphy and paintings?

Yan Xiong saw his godfather Du Yongxiao frowning, so he asked cautiously: "Godfather, is there anything troublesome, maybe I can help you solve your worries." ”

Du Yongxiao sighed and said: "It's nothing, it's just ......" and simply told the story of talking to William Chen.

Yan Xiong's eyes rolled and he said: "Godfather, this kind of thing is difficult to say, easy to say." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Du Yongxiao looked at Yan Xiong.

Yan Xiong smiled and said: "Don't you forget, we have a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in Hong Kong, and I collected a lot of them back then." Especially in the forties and fifties, many refugees from the mainland fled to Hong Kong, bringing with them a lot of antiques; There are even some Shanghai tycoons, bringing treasures from the Qing Palace, which are priceless! For example, Shanghai Tang tycoon Du Yuesheng brought jade watermelons when he came to Hong Kong, as well as faucet jade cigarette holders and so on. ”

"If you want to do it, you can take the national treasure from Hong Kong for auction! To tell the truth, as long as you give an order, you can say as much as you want! Now in Hong Kong, who dares not to give your godfather face?! ”

After Yan Xiong finished speaking, he smiled and waited for Du Yongxiao to praise himself.

But gradually he felt that the situation was wrong, Du Yongxiao looked at him, his eyes were sharp, and there was even a trace of murderous intent.

Yan Xiong was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Godfather, why do you look at me like this?" Am I wrong? ”

Du Yongxiao said coldly: "Yan Xiong, I warn you, as a man, you must not forget your roots!" ”

"No, godfather, I don't understand what you mean by that, am I really doing something wrong?"

"Humph!" Du Yongxiao glared at Yan Xiong fiercely with murderous eyes.

Yan Xiong shuddered again.

Du Yongxiao said: "I have said it myself, those are national treasures!" Since it's a national treasure, how can it be sold to those ghosts? ”

"Uh, this-" Yan Xiong was stunned for a moment, only then did he know what was wrong.

"No, I just want to help you solve your problems, I don't mean anything else."

"You remember, we are Chinese! The Eight-Nation Coalition burned and looted and robbed many of our national treasures in the Old Summer Palace. Many treasures are still on display in the British Museum, the Louvre Museum in France, and other national museums, do you still want to be a sinner and continue to sell national treasures to those ghosts? ”

Yan Xiong was sweating profusely and busy: "No, I know my mistake!" I really know wrong! ”

Du Yongxiao saw that Yan Xiong was trembling with fright, so he snorted coldly, stopped looking at him, closed his eyes and leaned on the car seat to recuperate.

Yan Xiong didn't dare to say anything, he scolded himself to death in his heart, why did he come up with such a sassy idea.

Du Yongxiao's heart was tumbling at the moment.

In the last life, he had seen countless tycoons and tycoons, and people with lofty ideals followed one after another, in order to redeem the lost treasures in foreign countries at a high price and send them back to the country, the most famous of which was the 12 zodiac bronze horse heads donated by He Gambling King.

The bronze statue of the head of the beast in the Old Summer Palace was cast during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, designed by the Italian Lang Shining, a court Western painter, supervised by the Frenchman Jiang Youren, and made by the court craftsmen.

The portrait of the Twelve Lives was originally on the 12 stone platforms on the north and south sides of the fan-shaped pool fountain in front of the Western Building and Haiyan Hall in the Old Summer Palace. The south shore is Zi Rat, Yin Hu, Chen Long, Wu Ma, Shen Monkey, and Xu Dog; On the north shore, they are ugly cows, rabbits, snakes, sheep, roosters, and pigs. These portraits are all animal heads and human bodies, with a bronze head and a stone body, with a hollow water sprinkler connected to it, and every other hour, representing the birth portrait of that hour, water is sprayed from the mouth; At noon, the fountain gushes out of the mouth of the portrait of the twelve beings at the same time, which is a spectacle. These bronze zodiac statues are 50 centimeters tall and finely carved, making them the finest bronze objects of the Qing Dynasty.

In 1860, the British and French forces burned down the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statues of the 12 zodiac signs in the Old Summer Palace have been lost overseas, becoming a microcosm of the loss of Chinese cultural relics - more than 100 years after the Opium War, as many as one million pieces of Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas due to war, looting, and theft. Among all the well-known foreign museums, there are more than 1.6 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics in the collection, including other Chinese cultural relics collected by the people, and the total number of Chinese cultural relics scattered overseas is more than 17 million, which greatly exceeds the number of local museums and private collections in China.

Over the years, countless people have worked hard for the return of the animal head to China, and at present, 7 of the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace have returned to China.

In 2000, Poly Group won the head of the 12 zodiac beasts at the auctions of Christie's and Sotheby's in Hong Kong for HK$7.745 million, the head of the monkey for HK$8.185 million, and the head of the tiger for HK$15.44475 million.

In 2003, the American owner of the pig's head transferred the statue to the China Special Fund for the Rescue of Lost Overseas Cultural Relics, and Macau entrepreneur Stanley Ho donated to the special fund to buy back the bronze statue of the pig's head.

In 2007, Stanley Ho bought the bronze statue of the horse's head for HK$69.1 million before the Sotheby's auction and donated it to the country.

The rat and rabbit heads appeared in a special auction held by Christie's auction house in Paris, France in 2009, and the two animal heads were later bought by the French Pinault family, and in June 2013, the French Pinault family officially donated the bronze statues of the rat and rabbit to China.

The five bronze animal heads of the returned cow, tiger, monkey, pig and horse have been collected in the Poly Art Museum, and the rat and rabbit have been collected in the National Museum of China. The dragon's head is said to be in good condition on Treasure Island for now, but it will not be seen anytime soon. The whereabouts of four pieces, including the head of a snake, the head of a sheep, the head of a chicken, and the head of a dog, are still unknown.

For Du Yongxiao, this is a national shame, and now Yan Xiong has the idea of letting him sell the national treasure, isn't this looking for death?

……

Du Yongxiao returned to the hotel and still had a headache about the auction.

Yan Xiong eats a trench and grows wise, and he doesn't dare to speak indiscriminately at this time.

The stupid Du Yongshun didn't know what was going on, he just pestered Yan Xiong to eat roast suckling pig.

Yan Xiong's brain hurt, and while coaxing Du Yongshun, he carefully observed what Du Yongxiao needed.

That's when —

Jingle bells.

The phone rings.

Seeing this, Yan Xiong hurriedly ran over to answer the phone, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Du Yongxiao: "Godfather, it was Lei Luo who called, and he said that he was looking for you urgently." ”

"What's the hurry?" Du Yongxiao was sitting on the sofa thinking about the problem and said impatiently.

"He said you would know it for yourself."

Du Yongxiao frowned, just about to refuse, thought about it and said, "Okay, tell him, I'll leave now!" But in my heart, I was guessing what Lei Luo was doing, making it mysterious.

Yan Xiong hung up the phone, but he was happy in his heart.

I was scolded just now, and now Lei Luo is pretending to be a ghost, and if he doesn't do well, he will be taught a lesson by his godfather. Hahaha, enjoyable.

Du Yongxiao didn't stop, and once again took Yan Xiong and Du Yongshun to Vancouver, the helmsman of the Huaqing Gang.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the helm, Du Yongxiao found that the situation was not right, the helmsman in front of him seemed to be more heavily guarded than before, and there were seventeen or eighteen big men at the door, all with guys in their arms, their eyes were vigilant, and they seemed to treat all the people around them as thieves.

Du Yongxiao was surprised, what happened to the Huaqing Gang?

Among those big men, there is a henchman who was promoted by Lei Luocai, whose name is "A Biao".

Ah Biao used to belong to the "Eight King Kongs", and his status in the Huaqing Gang was second only to the "Four Great Dharma Protectors".

However, Ah Biao is very principled in his life and work, Luo Tianwang likes to do bad things, and many Ah Biao disagree, so his status has always been the lowest among the Eight King Kongs. Although he is very capable, he will always be subservient to others and cannot be hired.

If it weren't for Luo Tianwang's scruples that Ah Biao was very prestigious in the gang, he might have been demoted to a minion earlier.

Now that Luo Tianwang has been arrested to dig coal for transformation, the Huaqing Gang has changed greatly, and the other seven of the Eight King Kongs have been degraded by Lei Luo, and only Ah Biao has not risen but surrendered, and has become the great protector of the Huaqing Gang, second only to Lan Gang and Han Sen, two elders.

Therefore, Ah Biao is grateful to Lei Luo and thinks that Lei Luo has the grace of knowing him. Now he is even more obedient to Lei Luo.

Ah Biao saw Du Yongxiao arrive and knew that this master was his boss.

Immediately, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said to Du Yongxiao: "Hello, Mr. Du!" Brother Luo has been waiting for you inside for a long time, please come here! ”

Du Yongxiao frowned and looked around again.

Ah Biao hurriedly explained: "There is a big incident in the gang, and Brother Luo tells us to prepare to prevent accidents. ”

"Something big is happening?" Du Yongxiao originally wanted to ask, but he thought that he would know later, so he was full of doubts and walked towards the helm of the Huaqing Gang.

The inside of the helm was more heavily guarded than the outside, and many of the disciples were highly nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Du Yongxiao was even more puzzled.

Yan Xiong followed behind his ass and muttered, "What the hell is this Lei Luo doing?" Make this place mysterious, is there a gang going to fight? No, if someone attacks, he should call for reinforcements, and tell us to come and do it? Could it be that my godfather and I can be one for hundred? ”

Soon, Du Yongxiao came to the helm hall, but saw Lei Luo with his hands behind his back, anxiously pacing in the hall.

Lan Gang and Han Sen also stood aside, not sitting down, looking very nervous.

Footsteps are heard.

Lei Luo hurriedly turned back.

Ah Biao shouted: "Brother Luo, I'll bring Mr. Du here!" ”

"Ah Xiao, you're finally here!" Lei Luo stepped forward and grabbed Du Yongxiao.

Lan Gang and Han Sen also hurriedly stepped forward: "Yes, you can make us wait so hard. ”

Du Yongxiao was even more surprised when he saw this, and couldn't help it anymore: "Brother Luo, what the hell is going on, I see that you are like a great enemy here......

"Big deal, big deal!" Lei Luo took Du Yongxiao's hand and said, "You go and take a look with me." ”

"Uh, where?"

"Basement!" Lei Luo said, "To be exact, it's the treasure room!" ”

……

Since Luo Tianwang became the boss of the Huaqing Gang, he began to make a lot of money.

For small traders and hawkers to extort protection money, these are the lowest level, and Luo Tianwang's biggest hobby is to collect all kinds of treasures -——.

So much so that all the new immigrants who came to Vancouver from outside, as long as they were in his jurisdiction, the first thing Luo Tianwang inquired about was whether these immigrants had brought treasures?

These new immigrants include Europeans, Asians, Asians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Chinese, and so on.

Two-thirds of those who can immigrate to Vancouver are relatively poor, but another third are wealthy and come to Vancouver, Canada to enjoy their happiness.

It's a pity that they met Luo Tianwang.

Luo Tianwang is best at "scraping the ground", especially scraping the land of these new immigrants, whether it is a ghost, or a Dongying person, a Korean, or a Chinese like himself, he is all extorted.

As a result, his treasure trove became richer and richer, and in order to hide his eyes, he built the treasure trove in a secret place in the basement, and usually went in alone to admire the treasures.

Like the Four Great Dharma Protectors, few people have ever entered the Eight Great Vajras, and they don't know what is inside.

But this time, Luo Tianwang never dreamed that he would be arrested to dig coal.

I didn't expect Lei Luo to join the Huaqing Gang and become the leading boss instead of himself.

Lei Luo didn't expect that he would lead the people to check the secret warehouse of Luo Tianwang's underground warehouse, who knew that as soon as it was opened, everyone was stunned!

Where is the warehouse, it is simply a treasure trove of the forty thieves of Alibaba.

Du Yongxiao followed Lei Luo to the basement, and after listening to what Lei Luo said along the way, he still didn't care a little in his heart.

The heart said, no matter how powerful the Naluo Heavenly King is, how many treasures can he plunder?

In other words, if Luo Tianwang really has so many treasures, why don't he take them out and sell them for funds to continue to develop and grow the Huaqing Gang?

Du Yongxiao was full of doubts, but he forgot that Luo Tianwang was a person who regarded wealth as his life, especially liked to collect antiques, and liked rare treasures, so it was more uncomfortable for him to sell those things than to kill him.

This is the greatest sorrow of collectors, most of the treasures are "only in but not out", so that they "can't make ends meet" in terms of funds.

Just when Du Yongxiao was thinking nonsense, under the leadership of Lei Luo, everyone had already come to the basement.

The basement was brightly lit, and there were four big men guarding the door, and when they saw Lei Luo and them coming, they hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted: "Brother Luo!" ”

"Mr. Du!"

Du Yongxiao and Lei Luo nodded at them.

Lei Luo said: "Call the iron door." ”

"Yes!"

The four big men turned around and pushed the heavy iron door.

The iron door is black, and it is made of fine iron, and the thickness is as high as ten inches.

The heavy iron door slowly opened, making a "creaking" sound.

As the iron door opened, Du Yongxiao looked inside-——

Yan Xiong followed behind Du Yongxiao, also looked inside, and said, "It's mysterious, I want to see what good things are in here!" ”

The voice did not fall—

Yan Xiong was stunned, his eyes widened, looking at everything in front of him, wondering if he was wrong, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and then opened his mouth wide: "Oh my God, won't it?!" ”

Du Yongxiao looked at the front of him, even though he had seen the world and saw the Paramount underground treasure house last time, he couldn't help but be surprised by everything in front of him!

In front of you, there is an underground treasure collection museum!

On the roof, the huge crystal lamp reflects everything, and in the various exquisite display cabinets below, there are all kinds of rare treasures-

Those treasures lay there silently, glittering!

It's like a beautiful woman waiting for a man's luck!
