Xuan Neng Bao Jian

Chapter 301 Shadow
"Mr. Zhang, what everyone is waiting for is just a small carved dragon finger. Don't you have any conclusion after looking at it?"

The corner of Li Raonian's mouth was raised slightly, and he stared at Zhang Lu with a half-smile, his words tinged with sarcasm.

"Damn, there is definitely something wrong with this ring? But it seems there are too many problems? What is going on?"

Zhang Lu's eyes were bloodshot and he stretched out his hands to grab his hair, his face looking crazy.

The finger was real at first glance, and it seemed a bit fake at first glance, but it was still real after a closer look. The problem was that he always felt that there was something wrong with the finger. Zhang Lu's eyes were blurred, and he was going crazy staring at the finger.

"Mr. Zhang, please give me the appraisal result immediately!"

Hearing Li Raonian's urging words, Zhang Lu's face turned red and he was extremely irritable.

"Ah...!" He suddenly pulled his neck and howled, threw the spanner to the ground, and shouted loudly, "Fake!"

With a crisp sound of "snap", the finger was instantly smashed to pieces.

"Huchi, Huchi!" With a yell, Zhang Lu seemed to be drained of strength in an instant, holding his hands on his knees and panting heavily.

"Hehe, fake?" Li Raonian stood up slowly, bent down to pick up a fragment and held it up high.

He stared at Zhang Lu like a knife's edge and growled, "Then, please tell me, Mr. Zhang, where is the finger pull?"

"This...!" Seeing Li Raonian's cold gaze, Zhang Lu even trembled, frowning tightly, hesitating and fumbling.

"Hmph, is this the level of your Jingbao Pavilion's chief appraiser? He can't even appraise a mere carved dragon finger!"

Li Raonian snorted coldly, walked up to everyone with the broken hand, and shouted loudly: "Anyone who knows something can see whether this finger ring is real or fake!"

Hearing Li Raonian's words, several appraisers who joined in the fun stepped forward to study.

"This is indeed made from the horn of a white rhinoceros. I don't think it is yellow in color. Although there is a layer of lubricating patina on the surface, the texture is obviously a bit loose. It must be an old item!"

"Well, yes, the typical Han Dynasty carved dragon pattern, the dragon shape is simple and serious, and majesty is contained in it, there should be nothing wrong with it!"

"This Han Dynasty rhinoceros horn carved dragon pattern finger pull is real!"

"I also agree. It is indeed true. Although dragon-engraved wrenches are expensive, there are a lot of them in the world in recent years, so they are very easy to identify!"

Hearing the words of these treasure appraisers, all the onlookers clicked their tongues and looked at Zhang Lu with strange eyes.

"Impossible, this... this is obviously fake, you...you are in collusion!" Sensing the mocking gazes in everyone's eyes, Zhang Lu's eyes widened, and he pulled his neck and roared.

"Hmph, Mr. Zhang, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I, Zhang Taotao, in the Qiushui Pavilion, sit upright. You can go to the circle to inquire about my reputation. Please don't insult me!"

Hearing Zhang Lu's words, those appraisers became angry instantly.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You made a mistake in your assessment. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, but you still falsely accuse us. What a rubbish!"

"That's right, a mere carved dragon finger can be identified only by its color, material, and pattern. Such a simple item can be identified even by an apprentice who is new to the antique shop! This is the strength of the chief appraiser of Jingbao Pavilion Is it? Hehe!"

"Zhang Lu, the truth can't be fake, the fake can't be true, justice is in the hearts of the people, it's useless for you to argue, you...wrong!"

Zhang Lu blushed when he heard voices of accusation that sounded like he was punishing his heart.

"Dong dong!" His body trembled, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, hitting the counter hard to prevent him from falling.

"Tch, just now I thought it was so powerful, but it's so rubbish!"

"Really, he can be an appraiser at this half level, and he can't even compare to a hair of Master Wang!"

"It's over if the Jingbao Pavilion falls into the hands of this kind of person. For an appraiser of this level, I will never come to the Jingbao Pavilion again!"

Seeing everyone's sneering eyes, Zhang Lu wished he could find a crack in the ground, covered his head with his hands, and squatted down on the ground in despair: "Why, why is this happening?"

"Why? Hehe, do I still need to ask?" Li Raonian glanced at him lightly, and said disdainfully, "Because you are weak!"

"If Wang Xiaohu were standing here, I'm afraid he would have sneered and returned this finger to me. Zhang Lu, do you know the gap between you and a real treasure appraiser?"

Li Rao was old and angry, with a face as clear as water: "A true treasure appraiser, true is true and false is false. He never doubts his own judgment. This is the master's magnanimity and realm. Although you already have The master’s experience and vision, but after all, it lacks such a charm!”

"This is an ordinary carved dragon ring. When you saw him at first glance, you should have already made a judgment, but because I took out this ring, you became suspicious, and even your own Unbelievable appraiser, how can you appraise things, Zhang Lu, you are far behind Wang Xiaohu..."

"Bang!" After hearing Li Raonian's unkind words, Zhang Lu instantly squatted on the ground.

"It's too far away, hehe, it's too far away, do I, Zhang Lu, have to live in Wang Xiaohu's shadow for the rest of my life?"

At this moment, Zhang Lu, with disheveled hair, huddled in a corner and muttered to himself as if he had lost his soul.

"Tch, rubbish!" Li Raonian sneered and turned to look at Tao Shilin: "Mr. Tao, your Jingbao Pavilion made a mistake in the appraisal and smashed my carved dragon finger. I don't know what to do with it?"

"This...!" Tao Shilin's face was extremely ugly.

She doesn't care about the compensation of a finger pull. What she cares about is the impact of today's incident on the reputation of Jingbao Pavilion. Seeing the disappointment and contempt in everyone's eyes, Tao Shilin feels her heart tremble. If today's incident gets out, The reputation of Jingbao Pavilion will plummet.

"The Jingbao Pavilion is really dead!"

"Yeah, without Master Wang, what does a mere Jingbao Pavilion mean?"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Tao Shilin frowned: "This matter must be resolved immediately, the longer it is delayed, the greater the damage to Jingbao Pavilion's reputation!"

"Master Li, I'll pay you ten times the market price for your fingers, how about it?"

"Ten times the compensation? Hehe, Boss Tao, are you mocking me?"

Hearing Tao Shilin's words, Li Raonian's face turned cold.

"Master Li, what do you mean by that!" Tao Shilin frowned slightly.

"What do you mean, I, Li Raonian, seem to be short of money?" Li Raonian squinted at Tao Shilin and sneered again and again: "This finger has been with me for more than ten years, and it is a gift from a good friend with a deep friendship , there is only one in this world, and you Jingbao Pavilion smashed it for me, do you think it will be so easy to pay a little money?"

"Then what do you want?" Tao Shilin's face was slightly ugly.

"Hmph, Boss Tao, don't say I'm making things difficult for you! This time, your Jingbao Pavilion has overdone it!" Li Raonian snorted coldly: "I want to invite the old people in the circle to come out and judge!"
