Missy's Ghost Guard

Chapter 199 Shameless

"Hehe, no more, no less, it's 8." Wei Liang shrank his neck a little guilty, and said with a fake smile.

"Only 8?!" Tailai Jin burst into laughter, "Mr. Wei Liang, are you lying? We are all people in the antique business. A wooden fish of this quality is even the Captain Mojin who is placed on a tombstone." It’s impossible to ask for 8 at the stall, right? Unless it’s sold to you by a blind man, it should be at least 800 million!”

There was an uproar all around.

And Jin Tailai's hint is also ready to come out.

Both Zhao Yanzhi and Chu Tangtang were ice-snow smart and immediately understood what he meant.

Zhao Yanzhi spoke bluntly, and clenched her fists filled with righteous indignation: "You didn't pick up this Buddhist Mingzetang Muyu at all, did you? You set up this scam early in the morning and wanted Zhou Qiang to gamble with you. Then, You take this wooden fish to an antique dealer and let him pretend to sell it to you for 8 yuan!"

Chu Tangtang also said angrily: "You guys are cheating blatantly!"

Hong Tianlin sighed and didn't speak. He obviously could understand Fang Senyan and Wei Liang's tricks, but due to the relationship between the two parties, he could only choose to shut up and remain silent.

Wei Liang showed a sinister smile: "You guys are spitting blood! What? Isn't Chenghuang Temple allowed to pick up leaks? What evidence do you have to slander me for cheating?"

"You!" Zhao Yanzhi was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she couldn't produce evidence.

In fact, no evidence is needed at all.

Just based on the appearance of the wooden fish, the exquisite and graceful Zen texture, the peculiar wood grain plated by countless generations of eminent monks, and its carving style from famous masters, everyone knows that it is impossible for 8 yuan. Pick up leaks.

The real leak detection must be like the "garbage" bought by Zhou Qiang, which looks plain but has hidden secrets.

"Very good." Jin Tailai didn't bother to talk, and glanced at Zhou Qiang, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Qiang shrugged his shoulders, didn't bother to lift his eyelids, and just said: "It's okay, just keep comparing. But, Fang Senyan, Wei Liang, you are so shameless to compare me, I will definitely retaliate in the future. Shanshui meets again , sooner or later you will fall into my hands."

When he said the last sentence, the cold killing that belonged to the king of killers Q came out, making the Wei brothers shudder, and Fang Senyan also shuddered.

Hong Tianlin's eyes couldn't help flashing with brilliance.He thought that Zhou Qiang was just a weak chicken with four levels of strength, but he never expected that he could have this unique aura that only a strong person who walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood had.

"It seems that Zhou Qiang is indeed not simple..." Hong Tianlin thought silently.

"Speaking harshly is the hobby of losers." Wei Liang laughed, and jokingly said at Zhou Qiang, "When you lose completely, you'd better say 'I'll be back' to make everyone laugh." It's fun. It's like the villains in Pokémon and Big Big Wolf that we watched in our childhood!"

All around burst into laughter.

"I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat, what are you doing!"

"Zhou Qiang is such a scumbag that he can't afford to lose, he dares to threaten him personally!"

"In my opinion, everyone should just leave, Zhou Qiang is really a coward!"

Hidden in the crowd, the nurses hired by Wei Liang started to incite at the right time to attack Zhou Qiang's reputation.Public opinion suddenly turned towards Wei Liang, and many people were accusing Zhou Qiang of not being able to lose.

Zhou Qiang couldn't help smiling, and shook his head: "I haven't lost yet. Please, Mr. Jin and Mr. Hong, give this Mingzetang wooden fish a price, and then taste my wooden box."

Jin Tailai sighed, but said impartially: "The wooden fish should be worth about 1200 million. After all, there is a name engraved on its belly—Wu Zhao!"

"That's right, the sun and the moon are in the sky. This is a special symbol that belongs to Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China's 5000-year history." Hong Tianlin took over the conversation and said flatly, "I also think 1200 million is a fairly fair price."

"OK, let's take it as 1200 million." Zhou Qiang smiled resolutely, and placed the wooden box in front of them, "Look."

Jin Tailai and Hong Tianlin surrounded Zhou Qiang's wooden box, carefully observed it for a long time, and even took out a magnifying glass, but finally came to the conclusion that it was... a fake!
The tourists and collectors on the side are also looking forward to it, stretching their necks one by one, like young birds waiting to be fed, eager to rush up to appraise the treasure.

"There seems to be nothing unusual..." Mrs. Jin looked at Zhou Qiang with a particularly determined expression, and couldn't help asking curiously, "How much did you buy it for?"

"Ninety thousand." Zhou Qiang nodded.

"There's a total of [-] bets, and you directly put [-] on it, which shows you are quite confident." Jin Tailai frowned, "But, forgive my poor eyesight, I really don't see anything special about it."

Hong Tianlin shook his head directly, and said very bluntly: "This wooden box of yours looks like the style of the Warring States Period, but unfortunately, I can smell the wood lacquer with my nose. It’s against common sense! Because this unique transparent wood lacquer was only available in the Han Dynasty at least.”

"I didn't expect Hong Shao to be so good at appraising treasures. Such a small flaw can be seen through at once!" Wei Liang laughed, and raised his thumb at him, "It seems that only our Yin-Yang wooden fish is enough. You crushed Mr. Zhou Qiang. I spent so much time selecting antiques, I was really overkill, I didn't expect you to be so vulnerable."

Both Zhao Yanzhi and Chu Tangtang couldn't help showing worried expressions.

Jin Tailai smiled lightly, raised his right hand, and motioned everyone not to jump to conclusions: "I don't think Mr. Zhou Qiang was at all anxious from the beginning to the end, but he was very calm, and he looked like he was sure of winning. It seems that we have to look at this box." It’s a mystery that I don’t understand.”

Hong Tianlin frowned: "A wooden box with an antique style up and down, where can there be any hidden secrets?"

Before he finished speaking, everyone was stunned to see Zhou Qiang lift the wooden box high, and then slammed it on the ground.

Click.

The wooden box was instantly shattered.

"You are..." Hong Tianlin looked at him blankly.

All the tourists couldn't help but be dumbfounded. After all, this was something bought for 9 yuan, and it was smashed as soon as it was said.

Zhou Qiang, with a faint smile on his face, bent down, and grabbed a chessboard from the bottom of the tattered box that said Chuhe Hanjie.

"Eh? In this box, there is actually a chessboard?" Jin Tailai looked at Zhou Qiang with a puzzled look on his face, but his face was not good-looking, and he said worriedly, "But, as far as I know, there has been no chessboard so far." Any antique chessboard can sell for a sky-high price of 1200 million."

Hong Tianlin also touched his nose: "That's right. Among the four arts of gentlemen respected by the Chinese, the chess in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting refers to Go. And chess is simply not popular, and no one takes it seriously."

Zhou Qiang did not speak, but smiled and took out all the pieces of this chess set from the edge of the tattered box: 32 pieces such as handsome, general, rook, horse, and cannon.

"This is really rare." Jin Tailai touched his nose in amazement, "It's really interesting that someone made a very fake Warring States-style box to hide a chessboard."

"Tch, but, as Mr. Jin also said, he has never heard of a case where this kind of chess board can be sold at a high price." Wei Liang pouted and said disdainfully.

"Really?" Zhou Qiang smiled faintly, "Old Jin is right, but he just judged based on experience. But what about chess pieces with gems in them? The gems inside them are already valuable!"

"Hidden jade in chess?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Tourists are ignorant.

Collectors are also stunned.

Only Jin Tailai became emotional suddenly, and murmured several times: "There is jade hidden in the chess, jade hidden in the chess... Could this be the legendary gentleman's chess?!"

Hong Tianlin's face also changed wildly: "Gentlemen's Chess? Isn't this a legend?"

"Grandpa Jin, what are you talking about?" Chu Tangtang asked curiously.

"Gentlemen's Chess, this is a legendary antique." Jin Tailai smiled slightly, "This kind of antique will never be manufactured by modern people, and it is absolutely impossible to imitate it. Therefore, it has no fakes. There are only ancient ones. This kind of thing will only appear in the era of simplicity and honesty.”

Hong Tianlin also showed admiration: "Yes, gentleman's chess is an antique, which is a symbol of human honesty. I have heard the story about it: the maker first cut open the chess piece, buried the precious jade in the chess piece, and then used The fire burns the gaps, making the wood grains fit together tightly. As a result, the chess pieces are permanently deformed under the fire, and all the wood is closed, and no one knows whether there is any precious jade in it."

"At the time of transaction, it is impossible to verify whether there is precious jade inside, because if you want to verify, you can only see it by cutting the chess piece. But in that case, it means that the gentleman's chess will be permanently damaged! Therefore, the buyer I can only trust the seller's one-sided words, and give a matching high price. Therefore, it will only be spread among modest gentlemen, and it all depends on character in buying and selling and communicating." Hong Tianlin showed a leisurely and fascinated expression, "This kind of high-priced treasure is based on If the buyer is willing to pay a thousand taels of gold, he is a gentleman. If there is a villain in the process of spreading gentleman chess, if there is a villain who uses fake Yuzi to make up for it, then the chain of trust will be broken."

"Yes." Jin Tailai couldn't help looking at Zhou Qiang and Wei Liang, "If this thing is gentleman's chess, it is the only one in the world, and it may be worth more than 2000 million yuan! Moreover, if the treasure buried inside is of good quality If so, because of the soaring price of ancient jade, it is likely to be higher. But how to verify..."

Zhou Qiang smiled slightly: "I believe it is gentleman's chess, does Mr. Wei Liang doubt it?"

"Nonsense!" Wei Liang snorted coldly, "There are so many chess pieces in the world, who dares to say that this is the real gentleman's chess? What if you just make something to fool me?"

"This is the mentality of a villain. A gentleman is magnanimous, and a villain is a good man." Zhou Qiang sighed, "When encountering such a person, a gentleman will be different."

All around burst into laughter.

Wei Liang was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig into the ground, because his actions were exactly the same as the villains encountered in the spreading of Junziqi.

"I think we can cut a chess piece to verify whether it is gentleman's chess." Hong Tianlin gave a fair statement.

"However, in that case, the integrity of Junziqi will also be destroyed. If one of the 32 perfectly fitted chess pieces is broken, the value of the chess piece will be damaged." Jin Tailai said worriedly.

Zhou Qiang smiled: "If it's a real gentleman's game, but Mr. Wei Liang's suspicion destroys it, then ask him to compensate for the loss."

"Okay, I don't believe you can really get the legendary antique!" Wei Liang snorted coldly without thinking, "Just try it."

"Ah, okay."

Mrs. Jin nodded her head, the matter has come to this point, there is no other way.

So, Zhou Qiang held all the chess pieces in front of Wei Liang: "Choose a chess piece at random, lest if I choose it, you say I picked it on purpose, and then argue that not all the chess pieces contain ancient jade."
