Zhou Zichen was also angered by Zhang Hao: "Then I really added insult to injury. What happened last time was that you bought fake antiques first. Don't say that I got involved accidentally. If you let me know, I will be the first one."
Go report you."
"And this time, I don't know whether you did it on purpose or not. What do you mean by sending such a rebellious thing to the old man?"
To be disloyal and unjust is to be a disloyal and unjust person.
Mr. Guan originally wanted to persuade him, but when he heard Zhou Zichen say this, he became serious: "Xiao Zhou, how do you say this?"
Zhang Hao also said: "Zhou Zichen, you must be responsible for what you said."
Zhou Zichen was not afraid at all and said to Mr. Guan: "Old man, the picture engraved on this scepter is not a scepter passed down from the king to the next successor. According to common sense, if it is a scepter passed down, the previous king is
The one who is standing, the successor king is either standing or kneeling. The picture above looks like an old king sitting on the throne, and the successor is bending down to salute and taking the scepter with both hands."
"Actually, that's not the case. It doesn't make sense in terms of etiquette. Neither the clans in the northwest of our country nor the royal families in the West had such rules."
"This is actually a picture of a criminal. The young man in this picture wants to use a scepter to assassinate the king. The king is sitting on the throne and resisting with both hands."
After Zhou Zichen explained this, Mr. Guan looked at the picture above carefully and found that it was exactly what Zhou Zichen said.
Zhang Hao already knew the picture above, and they didn't think about it at all at that time. Now that Zhou Zichen said this, it seems that this picture is really what it is.
Zhang Hao became anxious, pointed at Zhou Zichen and said: "The scepter has always been a symbol of authority. You are completely making this up."
"I made it up, do you know Tuyuhun?" Zhou Zichen asked back: "During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tuyuhun was rich in dragon stallions, which were exported to West Asia, Central Asia, South Asia and other regions, as far as the Caspian Sea."
"But because of these dragon stallions, they were spotted by a group of wandering Western knights. This group of Western knights arrived in Tuyuhun, and by chance, they were taken under the command of the third prince."
"The third prince himself was ambitious. After having this group of knights, the third prince began to covet the throne. Instigated by this group of Western knights, he plotted a rebellion."
"The third prince arranged for Western knights to disguise themselves as envoys from the west. The third prince took the initiative to entertain the envoys. When the envoys went to court, they met with the king, presented the scepter, and took the opportunity to attack. The paintings engraved on the scepter
, it’s the assassination scene.”
"There is a hidden weapon hidden in this scepter. It can be fired from a distance, and it can be stabbed with a dagger when it comes in."
The people around were suspicious. The stories Zhou Zichen just told were all recorded in unofficial history and not in official history. Therefore, no one knew whether the scepter was indeed what Zhou Zichen said.
When Zhang Hao heard what Zhou Zichen said, he immediately calmed down. He had looked at the scepter for more than a hundred times. He knew clearly that there was something on it. There was no possibility of the mechanism Zhou Zichen said: "
What you said is so reasonable and well-founded. If you have the ability, please find the hidden weapon you mentioned and show it to us."
Zhou Zichen turned around to look at Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan immediately handed the scepter in his hand to Zhou Zichen. He also wanted to see if the scepter had the symbol and meaning of "rebellion" as Zhou Zichen said.
Zhou Zichen took the scepter and turned on his eyes. The internal structure of the scepter was immediately clear. He pondered for a few seconds, walked aside, and asked the waiter at the party to find a wooden board, put it on the ground, and then
Aim the butt of the stick at the wooden board.
Zhou Zichen patted the ball above the scepter, and then gently twisted the ball. The originally fixed ball actually moved with a slight twist from Zhou Zichen.
"Puff puff puff..."
Recalling a series of noises, no one could see the situation clearly. On the wooden board on the ground, there were already more than a dozen inch-long iron needles. Even after a thousand years, the iron needles were still shining with a cold light.
Zhou Zichen picked up the wooden board, and there were exactly eighteen long needles on it. The long needles penetrated the wooden board, and the sharp needle tips could be seen on the back. Zhou Zichen continued to twist the ball slightly: "Look,
Did I lie to you?"
"bass……"
There was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the scepter suddenly extended, extending about half a meter in length. A sharp spike extended from the bottom, and there was even a blood groove on it.
If you are pricked by a spike with a blood groove, it will be difficult for the wound to stop bleeding automatically. If not treated in time, you may eventually die from excessive blood loss.
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and Zhang Hao was also confused. Zhang Jianlin originally thought that if Zhang Hao caused any trouble, he could say that Zhang Hao was young and ignorant.
Now that there is such a problem with the gift given to Mr. Guan, it cannot be explained away by a child who is not sensible.
Mr. Guan's expression also changed and he looked very ugly. He didn't care whether this thing was a weapon or whether it had a hidden weapon. He cared about the meaning of this thing.
The son kills his father and the minister kills the monarch. For Mr. Guan who hopes for family harmony, he doesn't like this very much.
Zhou Zichen stared into the account's eyes: "Tell me, what do you mean by sending the old man something so rebellious and even dangerous?"
"I...I..." Zhang Hao suddenly panicked. They came here to please Mr. Guan, but they didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Zhang Jianlin had to stand up at this time: "Old man, this is because we did not think carefully. We did not investigate clearly what the scepter was before sending it over. It is indeed our fault."
Zhang Hao saw his father apologizing and couldn't help it anymore. He shouted at Zhou Zichen: "You still want to harm us. People like you are extremely insidious. You also want to defraud the Guan family's business..."
Before Zhang Hao could finish speaking, Zhou Zichen interrupted him: "I have never taken the initiative to do anything to you. It's because you are not discerning and want to involve me in everything. Besides, aren't you still doing this now?
Is it an antique business? With so many masters, who can’t even spot a scepter, who dares to cooperate with you?"
"You..." Zhang Hao was choked and speechless.
"If I don't cooperate with them, how can I cooperate with you in construction?" A sudden voice sounded, and a man in his twenties came out.
The people watching the excitement all around burst into laughter.
Everyone present was sensible. The relationship between Zhou Zichen and Guan Xiaoxue was so good, even if everyone thought what he said had some truth and found it funny, they would not go too far.
The man looks a bit like Guan Xiaoxue, and he is probably Guan Xiaoxue's brother Guan Xiaowei.
Zhou Zichen frowned and originally wanted to retaliate, but thinking of Guan Xiaoxue, he endured it.
But Mr. Guan scolded: "Xiaowei."
Guan Xiaowei defended: "Grandpa, he just works in architecture. Even if he knows some antiques, how old is he and how much does he know? In the antique industry, the water is already very deep. Even a master-level person does not dare to say that he
You can definitely see it accurately."
Guan Xiaowei's words "hit" Zhou Zichen again, and he also helped Zhang Hao and the others from the side. It seemed that Guan Xiaowei was much stronger than Zhang Hao.
Zhou Zichen doesn't want to make the Guan family unhappy because of him, nor does he want Guan Xiaoxue to be in the middle. After all, he has a good relationship with Guan Xiaoxue, and Guan Xiaoxue also thinks about himself in everything. He can't cause trouble for her just for the sake of a moment of fun.
.
Moreover, it is not up to Guan Xiaowei whether he is good at antiques or whether he is accurate.
Zhou Zichen was silent, but Guan Xiaoxue said: "Brother, you can't do it yourself. Don't think that everyone is the same as you. Zichen's attainments in antiques, Mr. Cheng, Wang Changlin, and Master Wang are all
I admit it, and now Zichen is still working with Mr. Cheng in the antique street, which is enough to show his strength."
Guan Xiaowei was speechless by Guan Xiaoxue. If it had been someone else, Guan Xiaowei would have responded unreasonably even if he was rude. But Guan Xiaoxue is Mr. Guan's favorite precious little princess, and he would not dare to criticize Guan Xiaoxue casually.
I'm afraid that Mr. Guan will be unhappy. If Guan Xiaoxue goes to Mr. Guan to say bad things about him, she might be tightly controlled again.
Guan Xiaoxue's words aroused heated discussion among the people around her.
"You're working with Mr. Cheng? I remember it. It seems it's really him, but he's wearing formal clothes today, so I didn't recognize him at first."
"I've been there too. It seems to be true. Master Zhou's eyesight is beyond words. Last time I found something wrong, others said it was fake. He took a second look and told me the source. It was well-founded. In the end, I followed
He said to go find the masters who had previously said it was a fake and had given me a thumbs up, but he just said that those so-called masters had nothing to say."
"I heard that Master Zhou competed with Master Zhuang Shengzhuang, and he seemed to win."
"Master Zhuang Sheng? They didn't compete. It's just that at that banquet, Master Zhuang Sheng made a mistake, and Master Zhou caught his eye. Later, Master Zhuang Sheng's apprentice didn't know what to do and wanted to compete with Master Zhou, but he lost in the end. Listen.
He said that now Master Zhuang Sheng wants to compete with Master Zhou, offering a bet of 10 million, and Master Zhou has increased it to 50 million. I don’t know if they have competed in private, but I haven’t heard anything about it.”
The people around him all changed their names for Zhou Zichen, calling him Master Zhou.
Guan Xiaowei listened to the discussions of the people around him, but he didn't expect Zhou Zichen to be so knowledgeable in antiques. The discussions of these people were just a slap in the face. He said that he had poor eyesight, but then praised Zhou Zichen to the sky. No.
What is a slap in the face?
Guan Xiaowei did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Mr. Guan. Mr. Guan's current attitude was obviously to protect Zhou Zichen. If he was too presumptuous, he would not get any good results.
"Grandpa, I'm going back to rest first!" Guan Xiaowei said hello to the old man in a firm voice.
The old man just nodded and said nothing.
Before Guan Xiaowei left, he also called the Zhang family and his son. Anyway, there was no use for them to stay, and they would easily become the butt of jokes.
"Take this!" Seeing that the Zhang family and his son were about to leave, Zhou Zichen took away the scepter mechanism in his hand and handed it to Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao looked at Guan Xiaowei, and Guan Xiaowei nodded slightly. He knew very well that his grandfather would never accept the scepter again.
Zhang Hao had no choice but to take the scepter, glared at Zhou Zichen with a look of resentment in his eyes, gave a slight 'hum', and followed Guan Xiaowei away.
