The scene changes and returns to the restaurant box.

Li Zihang: "Mr. Jin, you said that the new Skyward Roar was broken into pieces. How did the old one come into your hands?"

After the seller recalled for a while, he drank a glass of wine and said, "It was new at the time. After it was made, he thought that once it was gone, it would never come back. So he sold it. First, he could leave some money for his children. Second, he knew that this treasure was a source of trouble. His children couldn't keep it."

"So he sold the old one to my father. At the time, the matter was a big deal and no one dared to intervene. They were all afraid of getting into trouble. Only my old man dared to touch this thing."

"After something happened to the shopkeeper, this treasure has never been seen in my house until now."

The old man was sure of the authenticity of the item. He rolled down his sleeves and held them out to the seller.

The seller also knew the rules and rolled up his sleeves. The two held hands and talked about the price.

The seller looked very unhappy. He shook his head and said, "No, no. I don't bargain like that."

The old man: "My price is not in RMB, but in US dollars. You are not going abroad, so I give you RMB. You still have to exchange it on the black market. Why bother?"

The seller smiled as soon as he heard this. "But I have another request, half foreign money and half yellow."

After they reached a consensus, they separated their hands and rolled up their sleeves.

The old man said, "If you trust me, you can leave the things here. After the banquet, I will send the money to your house. Is that okay with you?"

After the seller agreed on the price, he felt relieved. He spoke with a sense of pride. "Who would dare not trust you? This little money is nothing to you."

"Besides, there is Mr. Gui as the middleman. I trust him."

The seller asked tentatively: "Are you interested in my house?"...

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty. In a small dead end alley in the school lieutenant's camp.

A group of masked men were escorting a young man.

"Boy, think it over carefully. Don't forget what we told you. If you play tricks, there are only two options left for you. Either you end up in a mass grave, or you end up in jail for life."

"If you cooperate honestly, a prosperous life awaits you."

The masked man said as he pointed a pistol at the man's chest.

The young man begged for mercy, "Gentlemen, I will cooperate with you. Can you put this thing away first? I am a coward."

Another masked man took out a small yellow croaker, stuffed it into the young man's pocket and said, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, we will never harm your life. You can take this small yellow croaker first. You will get benefits later."

The young man was blinded by the money and said in a flattering way, "Don't worry, sir. I will never play tricks and will get the job done for you."

The masked man tapped the young man's face with the dagger again and said, "It's a blessing or a curse. It all depends on your choice."

He turned around and said to his accomplice: "Give the things to him. We will wait for your good news."

The young man took the packed food and wine from the other party, straightened his clothes, and walked towards a shabby courtyard next to him with his things.

Several masked men were watching the man's every move at the corner of the alley until they saw him enter the house.

In the dead end, several people squatted together, smoking and chatting about the topic just now.

"Brother Gou, will that kid cooperate honestly?"

It turned out that this group of people were the ones the old man had called to deal with, the pickpockets.

Gou Zi wrapped his military coat around him and said, "That guy knows when to advance and when to retreat. Besides, his confession with fingerprints and his photo are all here with us. If he is caught by the police for the things he has done, he will have to spend the rest of his life in jail, even if he is not shot."

"He doesn't dare! He has only one way to go, and that's to go all the way. Plus with the temptation of money, that kid will definitely cooperate honestly."

The young man returned to the house, put the dish with the knockout drug on the table, and called his companions to get up and drink.

The winter in the old city is extremely cold. The people in the dead end were freezing and poking their hands, breathing out the heat. They would get up and jump from time to time to make themselves less cold.

Half an hour later, the young man opened the door and waved in the direction of Gou Zi and his gang.

When the lookout saw it, he immediately notified Gou Zi and the others.

The few people who were shivering from the cold still remained alert. They were divided into groups, some were on the lookout, some were guarding the gate. Gouzi took two people with him and loaded their pistols, ready to attack at any time.

Then he walked into the house carefully.

Only after seeing the four people lying in the room did he slowly let down his guard.

Then he took out the ropes he had prepared in advance and tied up the four people, and then tied their mouths with sackcloth.

Finally, he called the young man who was the insider and asked him to get a basin of cold water to wake those people up.

The four people woke up in a daze. They shook their heads and looked at the dog sitting on the kang and the accomplice standing beside them. They knew they were betrayed and immediately began to struggle. They whimpered.

Gou Zi looked at the people who were struggling and immediately took out a silenced pistol and fired two shots at the four people who were tied up and lying on the ground.

They were so scared that they immediately became obedient.

Gouzi walked up to the men, squatted, pointed a gun at one of them's head and said, "Are you being honest? Are you not going to resist anymore?"

"Whatever I ask, you answer it. Otherwise, the next time I shoot, the bullet will hit you. Do you understand?"

The man with the gun pointed at his head nodded obediently. Then Gouzi tore off the sackcloth from his mouth.

"Sir, what are you asking? I will tell you what I mean. I just ask you to let us brothers go."

After saying this, he glanced at his accomplice with a vicious look, betraying them.

Gouzi: "Don't worry, let me take a picture of you first."

After that, another person took out a camera and directed his accomplices to take pictures of the four people who were tied up.

Then, the interrogation began. The people sent by the old man recorded their family situation and hometown while interrogating them. Only after they had recorded all the crimes they had committed over the years, they took the ink pad and asked them to sign.

The four people had guns pointed at their heads and were tied up. They could only cooperate honestly and did not dare to move.

An hour later, Gouzi asked about the Phoenix Jade Seal.

"Tell me. About where the jade seal and other things came from. Where are the other things hidden?"

The pickpocket boss said: "Sir, the things were stolen from the alleys of Xisi Beiliu. As soon as someone entered the yard, he stole them."

"Other things are easy to sell. In the past few years, my brothers and I have sold them all."

"The rest are the seal in the hand of the traitor Xiaowu, and a painting in my hand. The second, third, and fourth brothers all have some odds and ends in their hands."

Gouzi sat on a stool with a gun in hand. He asked intriguingly, "Didn't the family whose house was robbed report it to the police?"

The pickpocket boss: "We have already found out about that family. His master was a small commander in the palace of the Qing Dynasty who guarded the inner treasury for the emperor. There were several traitors in his generation. After liberation, he almost lived with his head in his crotch. How dare he report to the authorities?"

"After we robbed his house, he moved away not long after. I don't know where they are now."

After thinking for a while, Gouzi said viciously: "Do you want to live a rich life or do you want to die?"

As he spoke, he held the pistol and aimed it at the tied people.

As the guns swung, several people were so scared that they immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, we want to live. Please let us go. As long as we can do it. Just say the word and we will do it."

Gouzi sneered sinisterly: "He is a smart man."

"Tell me where the rest of the stuff is hidden."

After the pickpocket leader saw through Gou Zi and the others' intentions, he said with some confidence: "Sir, I can see that you want something. But after I hand over the things, how can we believe that you will let us go?"

Just as he finished speaking, Gouzi took out his gun and shot the pickpocket leader who was kneeling on the ground. Afterwards, he said apologetically, "I scared you guys. It was an accidental discharge. Go on."

The second pickpocket, looking at the first pickpocket who was frightened to the point of peeing his pants, quickly begged for mercy and said, "Sir, I give in. I really give in. We will get the things back to you right away."

"The painting is on the beam. The rest of the things are under the straw of the abandoned chicken coop in the yard. There is also a dragon robe, which I hid in the mezzanine of the cabinet in the inner room."

Following the instructions given by the second pickpocket, Gou Zi's men began to find out the hidden items one by one.

Gou Zi looked at the dragon robe in his hand and said, "Amazing. I didn't expect you little thieves could steal such a treasure."

Then his eyes suddenly stared at the pickpocket like a hungry wolf.

"You didn't lie to me!"

After saying that, he took the dagger next to him and used the back of the knife to start from the forehead of the pickpocket boss, slowly and gently slashing down little by little until the dagger reached the opponent's lower body, and then stabbed the dagger into the crotch of the pickpocket boss's pants. The dagger went through the clothes and nailed it directly to the ground.

The pickpocket boss had just recovered from his shock. This time, he was frightened and lost his mind again. Then a smell of urine came out.

Gou Zi looked at the pickpocket boss and pinched his nose and said with disdain: "How can you be someone's boss? You are just a bit of a jerk. How dare you go out and roam around?"

At this time, Gouzi turned his gaze to the other three people.

The three people who were being stared at knelt on the ground, shook their heads in unison and said, "No more, no more. Everything is here."
