"Lao Qi!" I shouted in the courtyard, "You come out for me, I know you're inside, do you think you can hide without answering my phone?" ”

I thought that this old Qi really didn't expect that I would go directly to the door to find him, but he was startled, heard my voice, and ran out in a panic. But when he saw that I had indeed come, he hurriedly tried to close the door, intending to turn us away.

When I arrived, how could I let this old boy succeed in his calculations, and one of them stepped forward, slammed the door, and scolded: "You old thief, I am really blind, I knew that you are this kind of master who sees money, and I will not make friends with you if I say anything." ”

Lao Qi felt ashamed of me, and said to himself: "Li Rui, you just spared my brother this time, and I was also forced to be helpless." ”

"Forced to be helpless? Who forced you? Mu Yunhe? I asked.

"Oh, it's not as simple as you think, so don't ask." Lao Qi pushed the door hard, trying to kick me out.

I felt that something must have happened to this old boy, so I pushed the old Qi in the door open with all my strength. Lao Qi saw that the general trend was gone, so he stopped struggling, sighed, and let me in.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyu also walked in, she nodded politely at Lao Qi, and said, "I'm sorry Uncle Qi, I came to you without saying hello, I hope you don't mind." ”

Lao Qi nodded awkwardly and said, "Miss Lin, please come in." ”

Lao Qi poured two glasses of water, then sighed and sat back in his chair and said, "I know you will definitely come to me." ”

"Since you know, then confess and be lenient."

"Yes, Uncle Qi, didn't you tell me in person, did Li Rui have the "Heavenly King Sending His Son" in his hand? Why are you lying to me? Lin Xiaoyu also asked.

Lao Qi shook his head and said, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, I lied to you, but I do have something unspeakable about this matter." ”

"What's so hard to say?" I asked.

Lao Qi glanced at me, and then said: "It's Mu Yunhe, two years ago, he designed to trap me, and I was ...... because he took the handle."

"What the hell is going on with you?"

Lao Qi sighed and asked, "Do you remember my Yuan Qinghua Zhaojun out of the big pot of plug pattern?" ”

"Remember, isn't it your heart?" I nodded.

"Don't mention it, it's this big pot that has made me miserable." Lao Qi said regretfully, "Mu Yunhe has repeatedly asked people to come to me and say that he wants to buy this big jar, but I have refused many times. But some time ago, I fell in love with a celadon jar, because the other party's offer was inflated, and I didn't have enough money on hand, so I reluctantly sold this big jar. At the beginning, Mu Yunhe was also refreshed, and directly took out five million. I was in a hurry to raise funds, so I didn't pay much attention to him. Unexpectedly, two days later, Mu Yunhe brought someone to the door, saying that the Yuan Qinghua Zhaojun jar I gave him was a fake, and he also took out the appraisal certificate of the auction house, saying that he would go to the TV station to expose me. ”

Lao Qi paused and said: "I, Qi Guozhong, have been bright and upright all my life, and I have never sold a fake, but I don't want to fold a halberd on this Yuan blue and white Zhaojun out of the plug pattern jar. The tree wants the bark and the face of the person, I know that if this thing is poked out, my Qi Guozhong's reputation will be completely stinky, so I was blinded by lard at that time, and begged Mu Yunhe not to expose it, I am willing to bear all his losses. ”

In the antique circle, eye-catching is the most normal thing, even if it is a national treasure-level expert, there are times when it looks away. But there is a particularly bad atmosphere in this industry, that is, malicious competition between peers, and even unscrupulous means in order to bring down each other. And the most effective and common means is to know the fake and buy the fake, and then let the other party lose its reputation and completely lose its foothold.

Lao Qi fell for Mu Yunhe's trick of "knowing the fake and buying the fake", and Mu Yunhe is cunning and cunning, he knows Lao Qi's character very well, he is a master who wants to save face, and he will definitely compromise with him in order to protect his reputation, which is equivalent to taking Lao Qi's life and becoming a tool that he can drive at will.

After listening, I couldn't help but sigh: "Old Qi, you are confused!" ”

Lao Qi repented for not being at the beginning, and said: "Li Rui, Mu Yunhe is a treacherous and cunning person, and he must have his ulterior motives in designing to harm me. If I am not mistaken, he will be so diligent in matchmaking Miss Lin this time and instructing me to deceive Miss Lin, which must be an unjust act to hide the trouble. ”

I glanced at him and asked, "Since you know that he harbors trouble, why are you trying to trap me in again, and I have provoked you to provoke you?" ”

"Li Rui, I know I'm sorry for you, but I can't help it, who asked Mu Yunhe to say by name that "The Heavenly King Sends His Son" is in your hands, but if I have other candidates to choose from, I won't lead the disaster to your side."

Lao Qi's words were amazing.

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What did you say, it was Mu Yunhe who told you to say that?" ”

"yes, I'm still wondering, wondering if you two have some kind of holiday."

"I have something to do with him, he is a big man in the antique circle, and I am a small owner who runs an antique shop, and I can't beat it at all."

"That's weird, there must be a demon when things go wrong, what does this Mu Yunhe want to do?" Lao Qi also frowned.

I figured out my thoughts and followed Lao Qi's words, "It seems that Mu Yunhe is coming for me, but what is the connection between me and the Lin family and the "Heavenly King Sending His Son"? ”

After that, Lao Qi and I looked at Lin Xiaoyu at the same time.

Lin Xiaoyu was a little apprehensive by the two of us, and said embarrassedly: "I probably understand what you said, but I really don't know what this matter has to do with Li Rui, I want to buy "The Heavenly King Sends His Son", purely to use it to pay off my father's debts." ”

"That's all!" After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoyu may feel that it is not enough, so he deliberately added another sentence.

"Miss Lin, don't get me wrong, we don't disbelieve you, it's just that things have developed so far, and the causes and consequences are really a bit twists and turns."

Lin Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, I also think what you said is quite unbelievable, and I really can't imagine that this Lao Mu is such a scheming person, and I still trust him so much." ”

"Miss Lin, it's inconvenient to tell me, how did you know Mu Yunhe?" I asked.

"What's inconvenient about this, Mu Yunhe is a friend of my father, when he heard that my father was asking around about the whereabouts of "The King of Heaven Sends His Son", he took the initiative to come to the door, saying that he knew a friend and might have this painting in his hand. Then, I got in touch with him, and he introduced Uncle Qi, and then everything happened, you all know. ”

"That's weird, I have no grudges with this Mu Yunhe in the past, and I have no grudges recently, why does he make fun of me?" I wondered.

Lao Qi glared at me and asked, "Hey, I said that your kid won't be fishing for other people's mussels, I've heard that this Mu Yunhe eats a lot of meat, and there are countless second mistresses." ”

"Fuck off, the more I talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, whoever I catch will not catch his mussels, besides, you don't know what my situation is, I can support myself enough, and I still fish for mussels, and I still fish for ghosts."

Hearing the conversation between the two of us, Lin Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh "poof". But when I saw the two of us looking up at her, I felt embarrassed and embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to......"

"It's okay, I'm used to it." I said indifferently.

Immediately, I said to Lao Qi: "Lao Qi, Mu Yunhe will definitely not end this matter so hastily, he will definitely continue to look for you, this time you have to be careful no matter what, you must find out his true motives." ”

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Lao Qi nodded.

"Okay, we'll leave if there's nothing to do, you have to be careful yourself, so as not to make trouble for Mu Yunhe." I admonished.

After speaking, Lin Xiaoyu and I got up and left the ancient mansion.

In the narrow old alley, there is a lonely sky, a few broken stones scattered in the alley, wild grass dotted with the roots of the wall, and a few familiar shepherd's leaves are stretching and swaying in the wind.

The dust of history has long been obliterated in the past scenery, and now, Dataimen is unwilling to be lonely through a thousand years of time, exuding a lot of sultry reverie charm, so that future generations can recall infinitely......

When we left the ancient village, looking back, the curling smoke rising from the mountains, the loud cries of cattle and sheep, the chorus of chickens and ducks competing for food, and the bubbling stream of the small Shunjiang River disappeared from our eyes again.

Hopping on the bus back, my mind was chaotic again.

Although I have always been reluctant to think about this, but as far as I have the clues, I have faintly felt that Mu Yunhe is coming for me, and there is probably only one reason why he can make a famous name in the antique circle so interested in the owner of a small antique shop for me, that is, he may have mastered the true identity of my Dragon Hunting Taibao. led me into the game, I'm afraid he wants me to do something shady for him.

I involuntarily pinched my left ring finger, which I always do whenever I get upset. Guy is a memory engraved in our genes, and if you pinch your fingers, your heart will calm down.
