Seven's secret

The owner of Ruixintang is a middle-aged man in his forties, surnamed Cheng and surnamed Qiao.A few years ago, Murong He received a batch of newly unearthed wet goods. At that time, he traveled half of China to find Ruixintang. The purchase and sale were all based on Murong He's private account, so the money was kept privately. The business conducted did not follow the official path of the Murong family.At that time, Murong He didn't avoid him when he came out to discuss business, so Murong Qing stood aside and knew a lot about the Cheng family.

The ancestors of the Cheng family were officials in the Foshan area, and they can be considered a big family. Later, the family declined, and the clan members were dispersed into various industries.Boss Cheng's father is a businessman who does business with businessmen in Nanyang.When he was at home, there were two older brothers above him, so he was not reused.Later, probably because the Cheng family had a sibling rivalry, Boss Cheng took his cronies to Yunnan, returned a few years later and opened Ruixintang.

Judging from what Murong He said inside and outside the meaning, the process of Cheng Qiao's fortune is a bit shady.However, this person has a good reputation in the industry, is ruthless, and trustworthy.Murong Qing approached him not only because Cheng Qiao was a master in the antique business, but because this person controlled the largest underground auction house in the South.

For some businesses, the black market is always the best option.The most important thing is that only here, because of the corresponding risks, can Murong Qing maximize the benefits of what he has.

Unfortunately, the day when Baifa's designer, Xu Yongcheng, made an appointment for Murong to look down on the scene happened to be the same day that Pei Rong went to the hospital to change his dressing.Murong Qing had already promised Mr. Pei that he would drive Pei Rong to the hospital, so he had to stagger the time of the two parties a little, and take Xu Yongcheng to the suburbs early in the morning.

Xu Yongcheng also brought two assistants, both of whom were very young, and seemed to be full of energy.As soon as you arrive at the place, you take out the tools and start measuring various data.Murong Qing handed the key to Xu Yongcheng, and told him that he would be going out in the next few days, and if there was anything that needed on-site investigation, let him come and see.

Xu Yongcheng's main purpose of coming here today is to bring back the data, and then find out Murong Qing's request clearly.But after he listened to Murong Qing's request, he felt in his heart that the homeowner didn't want to find a designer at all, such as a vegetable garden and fish pond. Country house.The reason why you have to find a design company is probably because you think it is too troublesome to do it yourself?

But it's one thing to complain in your heart, and you still have to take the job seriously when you receive it.Especially for a well-known designer like Xu Yongcheng, when he looked back, people would say that he built a nondescript country yard, and he couldn't afford to lose that person.Besides, even rural yards have their own styles in different places. Even if the owner is a real local leopard, after Master Xu's careful design, this house must show a perfect state of coexistence of practicality and art. OK.

"It must be strong and durable." Murong lightly clapped his fingers to express his requirements to the designer, "The yard should have enough space for cats to move around, plant trees and flowers, have a vegetable garden in the backyard, and have a pond... that's it."

Xu Yongcheng rolled his eyes at the sky, saying that he was a local leopard, and he was right.Judging from what he asked for, there is no design or artistic concept in it at all.

Murong Qing went on to say: "As for how to arrange these things reasonably, make them convenient and beautiful, and fully reflect the characteristics of modern design, that is the task of you, the designer."

Xu Yongcheng, "..."

That's right, what kind of design concept do you ask a layman to make?

Xu Yongcheng consciously adjusted his mentality and began to focus on the layout of the courtyard.From the perspective of appreciation and practicality, after half an hour of discussion, the two finally decided on the general layout of the house.Not on top of the foundation of the original house, but pushed back a few meters.To make more room for the front yard.

After discussing the general direction, Murong Qing greeted Xu Yongcheng and returned to the city ahead of schedule.He has already promised Mr. Pei to have lunch at noon.He planned to mention to Mr. Pei at the dinner table that he was going to go out in the next two days. Mr. Pei had promised him to go to his home for the fifteenth day, but now he can't go.

Sure enough, as soon as Murong Qing mentioned at the dinner table that he was going out, Mr. Pei immediately became nervous, "If you don't have business, it's better not to run around. Now that the traffic is so tight, many people are rushing back after the Chinese New Year. The road may not be safe. .”

Murong Qing quickly explained: "It's a business." His main way of making a living is to buy and sell antiques, so it's not a business if he has good things to sell.

Hearing what he said, Mr. Pei was even more worried, "The world is very chaotic now. If you are holding something in your hand, what if someone watches you? Look at your small body..."

Murong listened lightly to his nagging, and didn't feel annoyed in his heart. He smiled and comforted him and said, "I will take two people with me. They are the two assistants from the workshop. You have met them before, they are all honest and reliable young men. It's all right."

When Pei Rong, who was sitting across from him, heard this, he paused the chopsticks in his hand slightly, and swung them over like knives with sharp eyes.

Murong Qing's heart skipped a beat, she quickly lowered her eyelids and dared not look at him.He wondered if Pei Rong had guessed something, but then he thought about it, how much a policeman Pei Rong could know about the antique business, he must have suspected that he was going out to collect goods.This kind of thing is mostly done by people, and the risk is not great.What's more, collecting antiques is a matter of testing the school's eyesight. Some people collect a bunch of things and don't see a few valuable ones.Those who don't know how to do it will not take the risk of robbery to touch these things that are difficult to distinguish between true and false.After all, not all genuine goods are worth money.Here, we must also pay attention to the age, type, texture and appearance.

Pei Rong was silent for a while, then asked lightly, "Where are you going?"

"Foshan." Murong Qing didn't know if it was his own illusion, when he said the place name, he seemed to see an inexplicable flicker in Pei Rong's eyes.

"Oh." Pei Rong replied dryly, "Be careful."

Murong breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that his reaction was a bit inexplicable.Does he have anything to explain to Pei Rong?Pei Rong is nothing like him...

Murong glanced lightly at Pei Rong again, Pei Rong's brows were frowned, as if something was on his mind.

Mr. Pei didn't pay that much attention, he kept reminding him of various precautions when going out.Murong Qing listened obediently, and occasionally agreed.

After eating, Mr. Pei went back to his study to read the newspaper.This is his habit, he would take a nap after reading the newspaper, and he would not wake up until two or three o'clock, and then they went to the hospital to accompany Pei Rong to change his dressing.

Pei Rong entered the kitchen with a few dishes, and saw Murong Qing holding a bottle of dishwashing liquid in his hand and preparing to wash the dishes. When he saw him coming in, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his head and began to roll up his sleeves solemnly.

Pei Rong pursed his lips slightly.As always, he believed in his intuition, and this so-called intuition had saved his life more than once in critical situations.Pei Rong even believed that it was actually an alarm signal sent to the limbs after a quick and careful analysis by the brain.At this moment, seeing Murong Qing unconsciously avoiding his gaze, Pei Rong once again felt that this poor kid must be hiding something from him.And it's pretty serious.

Pei Rong took a rag and went out to clean up the dining table. By the way, he sorted out his thoughts. When he came back, he asked Murong Qing straightforwardly, "What are you doing in Foshan?"

Such a sentence, very naturally brought out the taste of the police asking the case.Murong Qing's small eyes flinched, and he said falteringly: "That's...then what...there are two things..."

Pei Rong reprimanded lightly, "Tell the truth!"

Murong shook his hands lightly, and the spoon in his hand slipped into the water basin.Murong Qing was a little ashamed and annoyed immediately, and her tone became sharp, "I'm just doing business! Seeing clients! What else do you want to ask?!"

Pei Rong grabbed one of his shoulders and turned towards him, wanting him to talk to him face to face.When Murong Qing was touched by him, his whole body trembled like an electric shock, and his back straightened immediately.

Pei Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiao Qi, don't tell me nonsense, I can tell."

"I know you can tell." Murong glanced at him resentfully, feeling a little uncertain in his heart, "Why do you have to inquire so carefully?"

Pei Rong replied naturally: "I'm chasing you, so of course I need to care about your movements."

Murong Qing's heart trembled, and she looked up at Pei Rong.Pei Rong was also looking at him, his eyes were warm, and he didn't have the aggressive inquisitiveness before.

Murong Qing avoided his sight again.For some reason, when standing in front of Pei Rong, he always felt a little lack of confidence.It's like a fancy box, afraid that others will find out that the inside of the box is just a pile of tatters after opening, and it doesn't deserve such a bright packaging.

Pei Rong leaned on the kitchen counter and looked at him sideways, "Don't worry, I won't do such unscrupulous things as stalking."

Murong Qing didn't make a sound.Can he tell Pei Rong that he is not worried about this kind of thing?

"Tell me," Pei Rong stared at his side face, as if you don't want to leave unless you explain clearly, "Your store is in Binhai, why did you go to Foshan to meet customers? If I remember correctly , there is a very famous black market in Foshan. You didn't go there for that, did you?"

Murong Qing thumped in his heart, and suddenly felt helpless, "Actually, I have two things in my hand, and I want to find a buyer there. You know, in the south, there are more rich people. Of course I want to sell one too. Good price."

Pei Rong asked him back, "Can't you find a buyer here?"

Murong Qing cursed secretly in his heart, how can this man be such a cunning and cunning man.The expression on his face was very honest, "Murong's family is in Binhai, if they know that there are good things flowing out of my place... it may cause trouble. You know, I don't want to have anything to do with their family anymore. "

Pei Rong frowned slightly, but he believed it more than half in his heart.Pei Rong was also surprised by his own mental activity.It never happened that Murong Qing lied to him before, so why are you so sure that Murong Qing is lying to him this time?

Pei Rong put the question aside temporarily, "Are you short of money?"

Murong nodded lightly. Anyway, the Pei family would know about the broken yard he bought sooner or later, so they made a long story short and told him that he was going to repair the house, "So I have to get rid of the things now, but I can't cause trouble. Attention the Murong family." As for the source of the things, he only said that they were in the private collection of his master He Mao.

Pei Rong was a little embarrassed, he didn't want Murong Qing to go to Foshan from the bottom of his heart.He had handled a cross-province case before, so he knew something about the black market there.But judging from Murong Qing's intentions, it seems that this has already been decided.Compared with going to Foshan, he was more worried that Murong Qing would go quietly without telling him.

Murong Qing saw a little looseness in his expression, and quickly assured him, "We have already contacted, really. The other party is a very reputable and powerful person in this industry, and he is a trustworthy person, so there will be no danger." of."

Pei Rong raised his head suddenly, looking at him with obvious surprise and...surprise.Perhaps Murong Qing himself didn't realize that there was something wrong with what he said, but there was an existence that allowed him to try every means to persuade him before leaving... His position in Murong Qing's heart is not optional, right?

Murong Qing was startled by the expression on Pei Rong's face.What did he say that made this stern-faced guy suddenly happy?It seems that I didn't say anything...

Pei Rong stretched out his hand and patted his cheek lightly, "I won't stop you anymore, be careful."

Murong nodded lightly, and watched him walk out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, and looked blankly at the half-washed dishes in his hand: Pei Rong's attitude is really weird.What happened to cause his sudden change in attitude?

How strange.
