Iron Bull Legend

"Yes, grandpa treated that jade plaque as a family heirloom. It came from..." When Mei Xin said this, she suddenly realized Tie Niu's identity and immediately shut up.

She carefully raised her head and stared at Tie Niu with her beautiful eyes, like a child who had made a mistake, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She felt aggrieved.

"Did she get out of the Chinese palace?" Tie Niu looked at Mei Xin's depressed look with a smile, then he put away his smile and sighed.

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you for the mistakes our country has made, Li Huijun, please forgive me." Mei Xin said this in front of everyone, shocking everyone.

"Forget it. Although I don't have the right to forgive you on behalf of our ancestors, I am thinking that in the future, when I have the ability, I will take back all the items you have taken from our country. They are our national treasures, and we cannot let them be lost overseas."

"Li Huijun, although I can't do anything, I will do my best to return some of our family's wealth to China and return it to his motherland."

"Okay, let's stop here. This piece of jade is for you. I'll go take a look in the front." Tie Niu didn't want to talk so much with a little girl. It wasn't his fault. It was enough to have this intention. He didn't want any unexpected things to happen now.

"What... give it to me?" Mei Xin's incredulous voice was drowned out by the squeaking sound of the stone calender and covered by the noise of the crowd.

Tie Niu was alone, examining the antiques and collectibles that caught his eye. Each of them was covered with anti-theft glass, so he was not allowed to touch them.

This is also a way for auction houses to prevent auction items from being damaged, because many cultural relics and antiques are priceless, especially those paper calligraphy and paintings, which are really not easy to preserve for thousands of years.

A little bit of sweat on the hands will cause damage to the paper and affect the original quality of the calligraphy and painting. Even calligraphy and painting from the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China require a specially suitable environment to maintain its original color.

Tie Niu saw a painting of reed ducks by Qing Dynasty painter Huang Shen in a safety glass cover. Judging from the brushwork and the paper, Tie Niu really admired the forger. However, Tie Niu felt there was a problem from the thickness of the painting.

"Is this a painting within a painting?" Tie Niu muttered to himself and released his spiritual sense. He felt that there was indeed something wrong with this painting. The spiritual energy lingering on the paper of the painting inside was obviously not a modern thing, but more like a product of thousands of years.

With a “buzz” sound, Tie Niu’s head was about to explode. This...

Tie Niu was completely stunned. How could it appear here? How could it appear in this fake painting? Could it be that it was collected by someone and they were afraid that it would be lost?

Now, what he could see was a picture of a person with spread hair and beard, so he couldn't be sure before opening it. However, a painting that could be hidden behind a replica must not be an ordinary thing.

He had seen paintings within paintings before, but he could feel the rich spiritual energy and preciousness of the paper. He could feel that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"Li Huijun, are you interested in this painting?" Mei Xin quietly walked to Tie Niu and asked softly. Her voice was so gentle, much gentler than before.

"Well, although I don't know much about painting, I feel that this painting is very well done. I also like painting. However, if the price is too high, I am afraid I can't afford it, haha."

"It's okay. I have a good relationship with Mr. Kono. I will discuss with him later to see if we can withdraw the item from the auction. If we can negotiate with the owner, we can buy it at a reasonable price."

"Can an auction house operate this way?" Tie Niu asked with some confusion. He had never thought of such a thing.

"Why not? We are brothers, right? Also, during the auction process, auction houses may encounter some bosses who particularly love a certain item, so they will entrust the auction house to do this. However, this is based on certain rights."

"Are you talking about special powers or the existence of a big money sponsor?"

"Of course it is. If there is no such relationship, how can it be called behind-the-scenes operation? This is a privilege, and it is also a form of transaction."

"Haha, forget it, Huang Shen. If I remember correctly, it's a work from the Qing Dynasty. The price is not very high. I can still afford it."

"I thought so too. However, since Li Huijun likes it, I still hope that Li Huijun will listen to my advice for the sake of safety. Kono should not reject my suggestion. What do you think?"

"Forget it. I don't want to use your connections to get this painting. Also, I want to see what value this painting has. When I take it home and tell my grandfather about it, he will be happy."

"Well, fine then. I'll talk to him later. Try not to let their own people raise the price. See what price you can get him for. It's all up to fate."

"Haha, thank you very much. How much have you solved over there?" Tie Niu asked casually.

"The stone is being cut a little slowly. Dongxuan is very careful when cutting stones. This piece of glass-type imperial green is so precious. So, he is extremely cautious. To be on the safe side, Xiaoye has dispersed all the people in the room."

"It's just a piece of jade. Is there any need to be so nervous? Besides, how much can that piece of jade be worth?" Tie Niu laughed.

"A piece of jade, do you really not know its actual value? It is worth billions, and it is priceless. Don't you know that even Kono has never seen a piece of jade unearthed in his life? Do you think it is precious?"

"Ah, so valuable?" Tie Niu deliberately made an exaggerated gesture and opened his mouth as if he could fit an egg in it, causing Mei Xin on the side to cover her mouth and laugh.

"Do you still remember what you said just now? Do you regret it?"

"What did I say just now? Oh, let me think, I just said... I gave you that piece of rough jade. Was that it, or was it just a piece of stone?" Tie Niu also deliberately wanted to see whether this mysterious girl was worth dating.

It is more valuable to test a girl with something like jade, especially a priceless piece of top-grade jade like glass-type imperial green.

If he is really a child from a poor family and is not tempted by trillions of funds, then he really has noble character and deserves respect. If he is the daughter of a wealthy family and is not tempted by billions of wealth, then his background is even more worthy of exploration. Even if he is neither, then if he accepts it, it will just be a piece of stone.

Touchstone, isn't this a touchstone? Although it is a bit cruel to use him to test the girl in front of him, this is also a good opportunity. What's more, Tie Niu wants to know what Mei Xin's purpose is in approaching him?

"Is there something wrong with my name? Li Hui, this is the second time I have used this name. That time was when I came back to deal with my aunt's affairs." When Tie Niu thought of this, he immediately realized his mistake. However, he had used this identity inadvertently, and it was also his carelessness.

"Are you feeling a little regretful? This is trillions?" Mei Xin stared at Tie Niu with a smile on her face, and there was joy in her smile.

"No, didn't I tell you that as long as I have enough to spend, I'm fine. I have no concept of money, and I don't have any idea about it at all. What's there to regret?"

"Forget it, I'm not kidding you anymore. This jade is still yours. How could I steal your love? Although I am short of money, I will not take ill-gotten gains."

"I got this from gambling on stones in an honest way, how can it be considered ill-gotten gains?"

"I'm sorry, it was a slip of the tongue. Hehe, you wouldn't be offended by this statement from a little girl like me, would you? I sincerely apologize."

"Look at you, I just made a joke. When does the auction start?" Tie Niu asked softly.

"It starts at 2pm. This is also a habit. In the morning, we give those who come to participate in the auction more time to look around and learn more."

"Oh" Tie Niu was about to say something else when he heard two people next to him whispering about what happened last night.

They were two middle-aged men, who had obviously just arrived. They should be wealthy Japanese celebrities, judging from their clothes.

"Have you heard about what happened last night?" asked Toyota Hidetatsu.

"Are you talking about the bloody massacre of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai? Oh, I just found out about it when I woke up today. It was really tragic. Thousands of people were killed and rivers of blood flowed." Yokohama Touji spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Come on, that's thousands of people. Thousands of people. News has come in from Kobe and here, and other cities as well. I heard that the Self-Defense Forces have been sent out to arrest people everywhere."

"Do you think he can be caught? He killed thousands of people in one night. What kind of skills does that require? And he targeted our two major gangs. How big a blood feud and how powerful must they be?" Toyota Hidetatsu lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Yes, it must be a big force, and there must be more people coming, otherwise how could they kill so many people overnight? I guess the two major mafia organizations must have offended some more mysterious big force, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to directly face the two major mafia and take action."

"Yes, this is the most

Big gangs, even our country doesn't dare to touch the two big gangs easily, could it be that our country did it? "
