Chapter 117 The whereabouts of the jade coffin

Shufangzhai.

The most famous antique shop in the local area.

Its reputation is not because of how luxurious and wealthy this antique shop is, but because of the owner of this antique shop, Zhanggui Tong.

There were not many people who knew antiques in that era. Shufangzhai was deserted and almost no business was visible.

But it is really amazing that such an antique shop that secretly makes the profits of up to seven figures every year.

On this land, anyone who plays with antiques knows Shufangzhai.

Whether you sell antiques or buy antiques, you have to go through Shufangzhai’s hands. Don’t ask why, this is the rule.

Who made this rule?

The boss behind the study room, Tong Zhanggui.

I heard that someone broke the rules last year. After digging up the local goods, he did not notify Shufangzhai to receive the goods, but secretly took the local goods. This incident later reached Tong Zhangguan's ears, and not long after, the man broke his hands.

Everyone knows that this matter must be done by Zhanggui Tong, but no one can find any evidence. Zhanggui Tong still chats and laughs with Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau every day, and goes out to various occasions.

This is Zhanggui Tong. In the area of ​​Xiangxi, Zhanggui Tong is definitely a big shot that covers the sky with one hand.

Boss Lu drove a Mercedes-Benzhai and took us to Shufangzhai.

Shufangzhai is in an alley on the back street. There are tall shrubs on both sides of the street, blocking the light and making the alley look a little dim, but this also adds a mysterious charm to Shufangzhai.

The Shufangzhai is also built with a quaint and quaint flavor. It can be seen that this shopkeeper Tong is also a person of particularity.

There are hundreds of antiques on the cabinets, including gold, silver and jade, which is dazzling.

But insiders know that although the things on the surface look exquisite and beautiful, most of them are fakes and fakes, and are not real local goods at all. These cannot be called antiques, but can only be called handicrafts, used to fool those laymen.

I casually looked at the prices of those handicrafts. They were all expensive. They were obviously fake jade, but they were marked with Hetian jade.

Actually, I am also an amateur. I can’t tell which antiques are real and which are fake. The fake jade just now was secretly told by Boss Lu.

Lei Zi was even an amateur. When he saw the room full of antiques, he drooled out of the corner of his mouth, and his greedy eyes swept around the room: "The things in it should be worth a lot of money!"

Ku Junwei sneered and smiled contemptuously: "The things here are all waste products, not worth a penny!"

When we walked into the study room, it was almost dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun splashed in from the wooden lattice windows, shining on the antiques, showing the ancient charm.

There was no one else in the study room, only one young man was napping.

The guy was wearing the ancient costume, a small hat, and dressed as a waiter.

"I think these things are pretty, why do you say that they are worthless?" Lei Zi asked Ku Junwei in confusion.

Ku Junwei showed a meaningful smile: "If the things here are really valuable, do you think you would be assured to let a guy see the store?"

Lei Zi scratched his head: "That's right, Brother Wei, your brain is just faster than ordinary people!"

"Hey, waiter, stop sleeping, get up!" Boss Lu walked over first, knocked on the table with a bang, and woke the waiter up.

The waiter opened his eyes in a daze, looking very angry that Mei Meng was disturbed. He opened his mouth and was about to scold him. When he saw Boss Lu standing in front of him, he immediately smiled on his face: "Oh, who do I think I am? It turns out that Boss Lu, please invite him inside!"

Boss Lu is also a big shot locally, and these waiters are also people who are a bitchy, so they naturally know Boss Lu’s name.

"Boss Lu, there is a newly arrived Tieguanyin in the store. Do you want to try it?" The waiter quickly flattered.

Boss Lu waved his hand: "No, I heard that Zhangguan Tong is back. Today I came to see Zhangguan Tong specifically!"

The waiter smiled flatteringly and said, "Oh, Boss Lu's eyes are all around and his ears are everywhere. The news is so good! Manager Tong is drinking tea in the backyard, I'll take you there!"

The waiter led the way in front, and Boss Lu took us behind, walked through a corridor, and came to the backyard of the study room.

The backyard of the study room is also antique, with small bridges and flowing water, and goldfish swimming around in the pond. There is a square pavilion in the center of the pond. There is a middle-aged man sitting in the square pavilion, with a slightly fat body. He is wearing a retro Chinese jacket and sunglasses, and a teapot in front of him. He is slowly savoring the tea, and you can feel the aura of a rich man from afar.

Needless to say, this person is definitely the legendary Zhanggui Tong.

There were two bodyguards in black standing outside the pavilion, tall and mighty, just like two stone lions, wearing sunglasses, with a cold face and a serious smile.

"Shopkeeper, Boss Lu is here!" The waiter greeted Zhangguan Tong and then stepped back.

Boss Lu took us to the square pavilion in the center of the pond: "Shopkeeper Tong, you are back!"

Outside Fangting, two bodyguards in black stretched out their hands to block our way out, and their movements were neat and uniform, just like robots.

"Search!" a bodyguard said coldly, with no expression on his face.

Manager Tong put down the teacup: "Don't you have eyes? What body does Boss Lu need to search for? Go!"

The two bodyguards nodded slightly, moved away from each other, and made a gesture of invitation.

Boss Lu called him and took us into Fangting.

"Boss Lu, what wind has blown you to me?"

Manager Tong took out a few teacups and poured tea for us. He was not old, but he called himself an old man and looked like a mature man.

But in my opinion, he is not a mature man, but a scheming man.

This is the first time I have looked at Zhangguan Tong at close range. He is bald and fat. He smiles like Maitreya Buddha. He looks like a kind person on the surface. He wears a jasper ring on his left thumb. He looks like an ordinary person at first glance.

If you only look at his appearance, you would never have imagined that the kind-hearted middle-aged man in front of him was a big man who covered the sky with one hand in the western Hunan area.

Before coming here, I had imagined what Zhangguanke Tong looked like. In my imagination, a person like this cruel and ruthless must be big and terrifying, and may have a scar on his face.

At this time, I saw Zhanggui Tong directly opposite me, and in addition to being a little surprised, my heart was even more sensational. People like Zhanggui Tong who smiled with a knife is more terrifying than those with a fierce and vicious person, because he had a smile on his face, but a sharp knife in his stomach. You will never know what he was thinking.

"What are these?" Zhangguan Tong looked up at us. He was wearing sunglasses and his eyes were hidden behind the sunglasses.

"These are my friends, all of them are very knowledgeable!" Boss Lu said with a little pride.

Zhanggui Tong smiled slightly: "It seems that Boss Lu came to me today, not just an old friend to reminisce about the past, but to be in mind!"

Boss Lu said: "Shopkeeper Tong, I'm going to hide it from you. I'm here to find you today, and there's something wrong!"

Manager Tong poured a cup of tea for himself: "Boss Lu is busy with everything he wants, and he must have been in the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. We are old friends, so if you have something to do, you might as well tell me it!"

"Okay!" Boss Lu nodded: "Actually, I'm here to ask you about something!"

"You said!" Zhangguin Tong picked up the teacup.

Boss Lu bit his lip: "That's right. Didn't I sell you a jade coffin a few days ago? I want to inquire with you, have you taken action on this jade coffin?"

Manager Tong paused for three seconds, put down the teacup with a bang, and his tone was obviously displeased: "Boss Lu, you have been struggling and rolling on the road for so many years. Don't you understand this rule? Since you sold the jade coffin to me, you are not qualified to ask about the whereabouts of the jade coffin!"

Boss Lu was embarrassed and persuaded with kind words: "Shopkeeper Tong, don't be angry, I naturally understand this rule! I mainly encountered some trouble here, and you also know that something happened to the property where I just started construction. The jade coffin was dug out from the construction site. If I can't send the jade coffin back, there will be bloody disaster on the construction site. That jade coffin cannot move! All my wealth is invested on this property. Zhangkeeper Tong, you are good, just do it for your brother!"

Manager Tong was silent for a moment, and said in a slight smile: "I understand. You just want to go back to the jade coffin, right?"

Boss Lu smiled awkwardly: "Yes! I know this is not in accordance with the rules, but... but I really have no choice... How about you just help me? If this property makes money in the future, I will definitely take you to heart!"

Zhangguin Tong's face became colder: "Boss Lu, you sold the jade coffin to me on his own initiative, right? I bought the jade coffin and you are going to take it back now. Do you think this is right? If I really return the jade coffin to you, how can I gain a foothold in the world in the future? How can I make a living in this industry?"

When I heard what Zhangguan Tong said, I didn’t know whether it was joy or sorrow. What I was happy was that there were eight out of ten jade coffins in the hands of Zhangguan Tong. Such a valuable thing must not be so easy. But what I was worried about was that it was unlikely to ask Zhangguan Tong to return the jade coffin to be returned.

Boss Lu still smiled: "Shopkeeper Tong, I know that this matter is unreasonable. Isn't there any way I can do this? Let's do this, I will return one million to you, you will return the jade coffin to me, how about the two of us?"

"Two Qing?!" Zhangguin Tong smiled gloomy and slowly took off his sunglasses.
