Chapter 192: The Amber Mystery

Amber red suspected of leaking wine, Yin Shan Fei will annihilate the mink Qiu. Li Wenyan built a statue of Wei Zhongxian to flatter Wei Zhongxian, intending to move to the right and be promoted, but he didn't want to show his righteousness and retribution, Cui Ningxiu was ambushed by Ma Wanli in the laneway. Li Wenyan was so frightened when he heard the news that he was dying, and his soul was depressed.

If the perpetrator is hidden and hidden, the only clue at the scene is only a piece of amber, if he can't trace the origin and find out the owner of the amber, Li Wenyan feels that the day when he will kill himself is not far away. The matter burned his eyebrows, Wei Zhongxian and Cui Ningxiu were furious, Li Wenyan held amber in his hand, his expression was like a chicken, and he was at a loss in his heart.

Master Shao De walked into the inner hall, and Li Wenyan wanted to mobilize the whole county to visit and investigate. Shao De listened to his words, the thief's eyes rolled, and he told Li Wenyan that he must not do this. Such fanfare will inevitably arouse the awareness of the gangsters, and will make the county government passive.

Li Wenyan nodded, and asked Shao De what he could do? Shao De reminded Li Wenyan not to mention the matter of amber in the arrest proclamation, so as not to startle the snake. On the other hand, he sent a capable catcher to the jade shop for an unannounced visit.

After the plan was properly discussed, Master Shao disguised himself as an antique dealer and came to Baoxiang Zhai. He wasn't in a hurry to take out the amber, but instead walked around the store with a leisurely look. Shopkeeper Yang nodded,

From time to time, she smiled at him.

Every time Master Shao looked at an antique, he began to point fingers and judge his tastes, his mouth was like a river, and his mouth was full of spit and stars splashing. The texture of the antique, the dynasty and the dynasty it belongs to, he can answer it accurately. Shopkeeper Yang puffed out his cheeks and listened dumbfounded. There is a big connoisseur, and he doesn't dare to be left out in the cold. Immediately invite Master Shao to the inner hall.

The tea was served, and the two sat down. Shopkeeper Yang frowned and smiled at Master Shao again, and then said some gossip. From the conversation, Shopkeeper Yang learned that Master Shao was from Huizhou. Shopkeeper Yang stroked his snow-white silver beard, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said to Master Shao with a smile: "Oh, it's really disrespectful." It turned out that the distinguished guest was from Huizhou. There are countless wealthy merchants there, and it is a place where business flourishes. ”

Master Shao took a sip of tea and grinned non-stop as a toad. "The Art of War" cloud: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." "It's like this on the battlefield, and it's the same with business. As long as you figure out the other party's intentions,

You can be at ease and make yourself invincible. Master Shao took the lead and had already taken the initiative.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Yang welcomed him, Master Shao thought that it would be a matter of course, so he handed him the amber in his arms. Shopkeeper Yang picked up the amber and played with it carefully, his face was red and white, as if he had entered a dye vat. As time passed, his expression became more and more solemn.

Although Master Shao was anxious, his face was unfazed. He still sipped the tea, closed his eyes and recuperated, and seemed to have an endless aftertaste.

After a long time, Shopkeeper Yang said in an exclamatory tone: "Wonderful, this amber is the best of the best." ”

When Master Shao heard this, his eyes shone brightly, and he looked at Shopkeeper Yang with crooked eyebrows and squinted eyes, and asked him where the amber was wonderful? Amber is crystal clear, clear as a mirror, the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, complement each other. The light leaves inside, the small bridges and flowing water, are all vivid, such a work of natural magic, isn't it the supreme immortal product?"

Master Shao smiled heartily and praised Shopkeeper Yang for being well-informed. Shopkeeper Yang looked fluttering and overjoyed. However, he coveted Master Shao's amber even more. Several times, he planned to let Master Shao endure the pain of love. Master Shao pretended to have a difficult face, and told Shopkeeper Yang that as long as he was willing to pay a lot of money, he could consider it.

Shopkeeper Yang saw that he heard the sound of the strings from Master Shao's words, and in his opinion, Master Shao must have lost his capital in business, so he planned to get rid of the best amber to alleviate the shortfall. It was the shopkeeper Yang who bargained with him. Master Shao slipped down the steps, and he told Shopkeeper Yang that the price he had given was too low, and he had to go elsewhere.

Shopkeeper Yang was so anxious that he shouted: "Alas, this kind of amber, I still saw it once in the Zhou family of my twenty-year-old family, and now I see the supreme masterpiece again, and it is not in vain." ”

Master Shao pretended to be shocked, and he asked the shopkeeper Yang, who was the Zhou family? The shopkeeper Yang told Master Shao that he was doing a business in Suzhou at that time, and someone took him to the county office, and there was still a person sitting next to the county magistrate of Zhou at that time. The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a thick beard under his chin. Later, I learned that he was Donglin Xuelin, and he was a scholar of the dynasty, Zhou Chaorui, and Lord Zhou. Because something happened to his family, he planned to sell the family heirloom amber.

Master Shao listened thoughtfully, and he thought that the amber in his hand might have a great relationship with the Zhou family. If you want to prove the doubts in his heart, as long as Shopkeeper Yang says a word, he can solve his doubts. Thinking of this layer, Master Shao asked Shopkeeper Yang if he had an impression of the Zhou family's amber.

Shopkeeper Yang shook his head, he told Master Shao that when the incident happened suddenly, he just glanced at the amber in Master Zhou's hand hastily, and he was not impressed, but as soon as he saw its condition, he knew that it was an extraordinary product. Otherwise, it will not be passed down from generation to generation. In addition, as the years go by, I am old and faint, and I can't remember the past.

Entering Baoshan, there is no empty-handed return. Master Shao got many valuable clues,

He hugged his head and saluted the shopkeeper Yang, and then took a square step and swaggered away.

After returning to the county office, Shao De immediately told Li Wenyan what he had seen and heard. As soon as Li Wenyan heard that this involved the old Donglin case, he had to handle it more carefully. Back then, Wei Zhongxian defeated the Donglin Society in one fell swoop, and arrested Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others, so as to eliminate dissidents and be domineering in the court. Although the matter turned into dust, Wei Zhongxian was afraid that his descendants would retaliate against him. The old thief was as frightened as a bird, and he never gave up the hunt and hunt for the descendants of the six gentlemen of Donglin.

Shao De listened to Li Wenyan's narration and said to him: "Master Li, although Cui Chengxiu is a celebrity in front of Chitose, as long as you catch Zhou Chaorui's descendant and dedicate him to Chitose, he will definitely not blame Cui Ningxiu's past." ”

When Li Wenyan heard this, he could not hide the joy in his heart. But on second thought, where to find Amber's owner?

Shao De smiled when he heard this, and he suggested to Li Wenyan again, as long as we are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and open our pockets. Li Wenyan was a little foggy when he heard it, and he asked Shao De, how should he do it?

Shao De whispered in Li Wenyan's ear, and Li Wenyan nodded again and again. That night, Shao De brought two catchers to find Shopkeeper Yang. Shopkeeper Yang saw Shao De go and returned, and expected that the business might be done. He was about to speak, when a catcher shoved him into the inner hall.

Shopkeeper Yang turned pale with fright, and hurriedly asked Shao De what he was going to do? Shao De took the official document of the yamen and said viciously to Shopkeeper Yang: "You give me honesty, today I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Now there is a case, we have to find the owner of Amber, and you have to cooperate with us. As long as you catch the villain, this amber will naturally belong to you. ”

Shopkeeper Yang was overjoyed when he heard this, and expressed his willingness to obey Shao De's orders. Shao De called him to his side and whispered a few words to him. Shopkeeper Yang grovelled and agreed with a hippie smile.

Shao De arranged a strategy, took two catchers, and unknowingly, the ghost slipped away from the back door. Before leaving, he once again warned Shopkeeper Yang that if he dared to leak the news, be careful of his head.

Shopkeeper Yang wiped the sweat oozing from the corner of his forehead and waved his hand at Shao De.

On the second day, the gongs and drums in front of Baoxiang Zhai, firecrackers rang out, Yang shopkeeper with two guys, eyebrows flying color dance, pointing fingers to the presence of the neighbors said: "I Baoxiang Zhai recently got a superb amber, I want to invite all the villagers to appreciate." If you have a discerning eye like a torch and can recognize this treasure, you can negotiate the price with the old man in private. With that, Shopkeeper Yang showed the amber to everyone.

Watching the lively neighbors, there are those who are fascinated by it, there are those who crook their eyebrows and squint their eyes and disdain, and there are those who shout and coax while they are rising. All in all, in short, no one is eye-catching to amber. Indeed, they don't trust Shopkeeper Yang at all, and even if he says it, people only think he is a fart.

The first day passed like this, and the second day was the same as the day before, and Shopkeeper Yang began to talk about the rarity of this amber again. Everyone smiled and made a coaxing gesture to him. Shopkeeper Yang was anxious and said to them: "You dirt buns, you don't know gold and jade, take the amber away, let's close the stall." ”

The guys carried the stool and moved the table, and the shopkeeper Yang cut his hands back, glared at everyone, and turned to walk towards the store. At this time, someone patted an old man covered in mud and said to him: "Old grandson, the words of Shopkeeper Yang are more stinky than your fart." Who listens to his gibberish here. As soon as he spoke, everyone burst into laughter.

For two days, no one cared about amber, and Shopkeeper Yang couldn't help but get anxious. Shao De is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform. He told the shopkeeper Yang that finding a real buyer was as difficult as Maxima meeting Bole. With such treasures, how could that small person in the market know the goods? And once someone came to inquire, this person might be someone from the Zhou family. So we must be reserved and wait for the door-to-door to reveal their flaws. ”

Things were really as Shao De expected, just when the shopkeeper Yang was on display for three days and wanted to put away the amber. That night, a burly man wearing a hat walked in. Shopkeeper Yang glanced at the hat man with a pair of deep eyes, and the hat man pressed the hat edge very low, deliberately hiding his true face of Lushan.

Shopkeeper Yang saw that this person was acting strangely, so he was doubly careful. He asked what this person was doing here late at night? This person directly told the shopkeeper Yang that he was interested in buying amber, and asked the shopkeeper Yang how much it would cost?

Shopkeeper Yang looked at him and signaled that it was late at night, and that he would wait until tomorrow to discuss the matter. He told Shopkeeper Yang that tonight and tomorrow are just a matter of time, and he will sell them early to make money sooner.

His words were anxious, which made Shopkeeper Yang even more suspicious. Shopkeeper Yang told him that there are markets in the morning and evening, such as vegetables in the early morning and vegetables in the evening.

The hat-taker had no intention of arguing with him, and he took out a cloth bag from his bosom, which contained five hundred taels of gold. He told the shopkeeper Yang that the price was higher than the price he had offered.

Shopkeeper Yang sneered and said, "You can't wait to get amber so much, could it be that you are from the Zhou family?"

As soon as his words fell, the hatsman shouted, "That's right, I'm Zhou Fei." I came to take it home and pass it on. With that, the dragon's claws probed the clouds and grabbed them directly towards the shopkeeper Yang.
