Su Hongyu nodded again and blurted out: "How do you know?"
Chen Yang did not answer, but continued: "Under his instigation, you paid the deposit of 200,000, right?
They probably wanted to defraud me out of a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan, but seeing how readily Mom took out 200,000 yuan and saying that my daughter would be here soon, they wanted to defraud me of a big sum."
"Am I right?"
Chen Yang's last words were spoken to the middle-aged man with glasses and the stall owner.
"You're talking nonsense."
"A guy came out of nowhere and said, "Do you know anything about antiques? You are the only one who knows!"
The middle-aged man with glasses jumped around and looked hesitantly, like a pickpocket looking for a way out before making his move.
The stall owner also shouted: "If you don't buy it, leave. The deposit will not be refunded anyway."
Su Hongyu couldn't stand it as soon as she heard it. She had just dispelled all her suspicions. The more she thought about it, the more unreliable it became. She wanted to urge Tang Wan to give her money quickly, so as not to let the rubbish ruin her good business of making money.
Tang Wan looked past Su Hongyu and shouted behind her: "Uncle Fang, here."
Su Hongyu was overjoyed and shouted: "Lao Fang is here, come and see the treasure I got."
Chen Yang secretly gave Tang Wan a thumbs up.
If not his wife, while Chen Yang was calming them down with his words, Tang Wan invited Uncle Fang, the senior appraiser from Heshun Hall.
Uncle Fang took the snuff bottle from Su Hongyu's hand and glanced up and down. He was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
When Su Hongyu saw this, she misunderstood and said proudly: "It's a good treasure, luckily you're here, otherwise the good thing would have been ruined by that good-for-nothing Chen Yang."
"He insisted that it was a lie, and he said a lot of nonsense. I'll teach you."
Su Hongyu triumphantly repeated what Chen Yang said. What surprised Chen Yang was that she actually finished the story almost completely.
When Uncle Fang heard that Su Hongyu was going to spend 2 million to buy this crap, he didn't dare to be careless anymore. He returned the snuff bottle to Su Hongyu and said seriously: "In the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the first glass factory was built in Beijing and began to produce snuff bottles.
After that, this gadget became popular in the 49 cities."
"So there were no snuff bottles in the Ming Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, Su Hongyu was stunned and had only one thought in her mind: Could it be that Chen Yang, that good-for-nothing, was deceived?
Uncle Fang continued: "The shape of the snuff bottle is also wrong. Everyone who plays with snuff bottles knows that snuff bottles in the Qing Dynasty have a characteristic. The farther forward, the smaller the shape of the snuff bottle, the thinner the carcass, and they must be flat.
The farther back, the bigger the shape of the organ, the rounder and rougher the belly."
"This pot-bellied thing cannot be from the early Qing Dynasty. This is from the Tongzhi and Guangxu years."
"Combined with the style, workmanship and painting skills, it is undoubtedly a modern imitation."
Uncle Fang didn't like Su Hongyu's ugly eyes, so he cupped his hands towards Chen Yang and said politely: "Old Fang has poor eyesight. I didn't expect that my uncle is an expert."
"It's actually true?"
Su Hongyu was in a daze for a moment, then as if she thought of something, she let go of the snuff bottle and dropped it to the ground, breaking into pieces with a "clang" sound.
With one quick step, she grabbed the middle-aged man with glasses with her left hand and the fair-faced stall owner with her right hand, and shouted: "Don't run away, you dare to defraud me of my money, give me back the deposit of 200,000 yuan."
The two of them were a little embarrassed at first, and they were embarrassed after being caught. After hearing the dense footsteps coming from the alley next to them, they calmed down.
Chen Yang, Tang Wan, and Uncle Fang followed the sound, and dozens of people rushed out of the alley.
The expressions of the middle-aged man with glasses and the stall owner changed instantly, from panic to pride.
The stall owner pushed away the stunned Su Hongyu's hand and said proudly: "I won't refund your deposit, so what can you do?"
"My brothers are all here. The boss will be here soon. Let's talk about you breaking my family's treasured snuff bottle."
Su Hongyu was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly. Dozens of people swarmed forward, half of them blocking the view outside, and the other half surrounding Chen Yang and others.
Upon seeing this, Tang Wan pulled Su Hongyu back and said angrily: "You are trying to cheat, do you want to rob me?"
The stall owner tapped the snuff bottle fragments on the ground with his toe, picked his nose and said, "Who said we robbed it? Didn't you see it? If you break my family heirloom, don't you have to pay for it?"
Su Hongyu was furious and argued: "Didn't you just say that you took it out of the old house?"
"Why did it become a family heirloom?"
Not to mention Tang Wan, Chen Yang, even Uncle Fang had the urge to cover his forehead with his hands.
Is this the point?
Uncle Fang was an old man from Jianghu. He immediately took over the conversation and said, "I am Fang Ming, the shopkeeper of Heshun Hall. Everyone is working on this street to earn a living and save face."
"According to the old rules in our antique circle, the deposit is just an eyesore and tuition fee. We don't want it anymore."
"How about we reveal this today?"
"no!"
The stall owner and Su Hongyu said in unison.
Su Hongyu felt sorry for the 200,000 yuan.
The stall owner said with a sinister smile: "2 million, I agreed to give my snuff bottle 2 million. If you take out the remaining 1.8 million, you will have face, otherwise I will leave you with nothing."
At this time, Chen Yang said calmly: "Uncle Fang, I don't think it's possible either."
Su Hongyu's face turned dark and she said angrily: "What trouble are you causing, you loser?"
Chen Yang looked at the stall owner and said, "The 200,000 deposit will be refunded if you want to, or if you don't."
The stall owner mocked: "Why, do you still want to say that you know our boss?"
Chen Yang glanced at the gangsters surrounding them and said honestly: "We don't know each other, we just beat them up."
