ghost eye appraiser

"Hey, Wenqing is here too?" Gu Hongniang swept the audience with her beautiful eyes, and saw Han Wenqing sitting in the front row at a glance, and then walked over with the man next to her on her arm.

Accompanied by her is none other than Sun Ye, the head of Feiyin who she has befriended.

Fei Yin is also a big tycoon in the underworld. They do everything from arms and drugs to drug dealers. Although Sun Ye can't be said to have committed all kinds of evil, he has never done anything good.

When Chu Chen saw the figure standing behind Sun Ye, he became wary of him, and immediately made a subtle gesture to Han Wenqing. Although Han Wenqing didn't understand why Chu Chen wanted to be careful, he didn't know how to be careful. Is it Matchmaker or Sun Ye, but he still raises his vigilance.

When Han Wenqing stood up and greeted him politely, Chu Chen took a closer look at the guy behind Sun Ye that no one else could notice except him.

Just yesterday, he just asked it to help him find the location of King Yu Ding, but he didn't expect to meet him here today.

The ghost received the order to find the King Yu Ding, so it would naturally follow the person who was most likely to be close to the King Yu Ding, that is to say, this gentle-faced Sun Ye knew where the King Yu Ding was.

Could it be that this man was manipulating behind the scenes, and that the thief who stole Wang Yuding was also under his command?Chu Chen frowned, and suddenly felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult to handle.

Sun Ye is well-known for being tricky and cunning in the Tao. If he does not leave any clues and only operates secretly, then even the local tyrants will not be able to do anything to him.

Although Chu Chen now knew that this matter was related to Sun Ye, he suffered from the lack of any evidence to prove it. Even if they found King Yu Ding, they would not be able to do anything to Sun Ye. Instead, they would have to apologize for the auction.

After all the guests arrived, the bald head greeted a few words in front, and then got into the backstage to prepare to go.However, due to some special reasons, he took a long time to prepare this time, and some people in the auction house had already begun to express their dissatisfaction.

Knowing the truth, Chu Chen and Han Wen sat in their seats calmly, preparing to watch a good show. Chu Chen really wanted to see what these people could prepare in such a short period of time.

If he guessed correctly, the thief who stole the cauldron should be in the background now.He colluded with the bald head to secretly auction off King Yu Ding, probably because of Sun Ye's instructions.

About 10 minutes later, the bald man brought up something sweating profusely. He placed the thing on the stage smoothly, smiled, and said to the guests: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. This treasure is too precious, we can't neglect it."

Chu Chen looked at the bronze vessel placed on the stage, gave a light oh, and then showed an inscrutable smile.

"Second Master, what do you think of that thing?" Chu Chen knew that Han Wenqing's eyesight was poor, so he deliberately teased, "I might as well tell you, it's a beast shape that only existed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period."

Han Wenqing saw that Chu Chen wanted to make a fool of himself, so he snorted and didn't speak.

Putting the things away with a bald head, another woman emerged from the backstage. Chu Chen frowned, and found that this woman was Huo Yuan, the owner of Qiaohong Courtyard who had had tea with him in his previous life. From this point of view, her husband was also involved in this matter. No wonder they were seen walking with the kid who stole the cauldron.

As soon as Huo Yuan came out, she began to introduce this bronze ware to the guests, saying that it was stolen from the tomb of the Warring States Period a while ago, and it was called the wrong gold and silver tiger screen seat.

"I won't talk about anything else. You are all discerning people. You know whether things are good or bad." Huo Yuan smiled sweetly and said vague words on purpose: "The bronze wares of the Warring States period can be preserved so well. If this thing is put outside, it will be shot."

This time, the people who came here were all unscrupulous nouveau riche merchants, and they heard that there were rare things that came here specially from all over the world. They were sure that their bald heads would not dare to offend so many people at once. Clearly, no one has an appraiser with them.

"Since you all know what's in your mind, I'll start quoting the reserve price." Huo Yuan looked around the audience, seeing that no one had any objections, she smiled secretly, and raised her hand to prepare for the starting price. Immediately take the money and leave this trip.Originally, the purpose of wading into this muddy water was that Long Qian didn't know their details, but now that Han Wenqing came, the family immediately regretted it. The three parties are not the ones who can offend, and the best policy for now is to walk.

Chu Chen could see Huo Yuan's thoughts at a glance, he stood up slowly, shouted "wait a minute", then stepped onto the stage a few steps, and put one hand in his pocket to the edge of the tiger-shaped screen seat.

"What?" Huo Yuan's heart sank, her face was still smiling, she didn't know why Chu Chen came up, so she could only stand still.

Chu Chen looked at Huo Yuan, curled his mouth, raised his hand and tapped the screen seat, and said, "Birds and beasts were popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This gold and silver tiger screen seat is exquisite in workmanship. The tiger shape is lifelike and dexterous. The lines are smooth and the mouth is smooth. With a faintly visible copper undertone, a smooth finish, and finely discernible ornamentation, indeed—a good imitation."

As soon as these words came out, there were a few exclamations in the field immediately, Huo Yuan's face changed suddenly, and just about to get angry, Chu Chen interrupted her with a finger, and continued: "However, no matter how shrewd the imitator is, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions. If it weren't for this, even I would have difficulty seeing whether it is true or not."

Chu Chen held up the screen seat that was clean and tidy, without any black mist at all, and said with a smile: "Everything in any era has its uniqueness and rigor, and the ornamentation is the best way to identify it. Other aspects of the tiger screen seat It is perfectly done, and the structure and height are quite standard, but the pattern on the back of the tiger is not so simple. The golden pattern of this tiger is all stripes from head to toe. As far as I know, the tiger-shaped screen of the Warring States Period The seat, the head and the tail should be fan-patterned."

After finishing speaking, Chu Chen stopped looking at the faces of Huo Yuan and the bald head, and walked down the stage, and no one in the audience spoke for a while.

After a long time, Gu Hongniang stood up suddenly, frowned and scolded: "Okay, you bald donkey, you tricked us all here because of such a fake, who gave you the courage?"

As soon as she spoke, the others also shouted, and Sun Ye next to him looked uneasy and sat silent in his seat.

However, Chu Chen had already seen that Gu Hongniang had nothing to do with this matter. It might just be a shield pulled by Sun Ye. He turned his head and looked at Han Wenqing. Han Wenqing stood up and said, "So it was just a joke. I thought there was something real that could open everyone’s eyes.”

The bald head and Huo Yuan were completely flustered at this time, Huo Yuan opened her mouth and said that Chu Chen was lying, Gu Hongniang immediately sneered mockingly: "You said he was lying? Huh, Gui Qiutang's red card appraiser, Cui Liuye The person you meet in person, how dare you know as much as you do?"

The venue was chaotic, Han Wenqing accepted it as soon as he saw it, and walked out of the auction venue with a group of people.After such a scandal, even if they took out the King Yu Ding, no one would believe that it was real.

Sitting in his car, Han Wenqing smiled happily. Remembering Chu Chen reminding himself to be careful in the auction house, he asked, "You told me to be careful because you suspected Gu Hongniang and Sun Ye?"

Chu Chen was not afraid that Han Wenqing would doubt him, and said directly, "Believe it or not, Sun Ye is the mastermind behind this incident."

"How do you know?" Han Wenqing said in surprise, "I'm just skeptical, I never thought you'd be sure."

Chu Chen thought for a while, then turned a corner and said, "Both Gu Hongniang and Sun Ye knew about the existence of King Yu Ding. Gui Qiutang had sent pictures to those houses before the auction, and the bald head dared to invite these two to come." It means that he knew they would not tell Long Qian, so Gu Hongniang and Sun Ye were both suspicious, but after seeing Hongniang's performance, I locked my target on Sun Ye."

Han Wenqing nodded: "I think so too. Sun Ye called Gu Hongniang probably because he wanted to lure her into the gang, or simply transfer the goods to her. Anyway, Hongniang has money and power. The two of them will cooperate and wait for this matter to pass. It's not difficult to transport King Yu Ding away again, even if Long Qian has great ability, he can't keep them back again and again."

Chu Chen knew what Han Wenqing was referring to. These days, because King Yu’s cauldron was lost, Long Qian made an excuse to keep all those who participated in the auction in City B. Let's go, but this method cannot be implemented for a long time. Those people will leave sooner or later when they get tired of staying in City B, even if Long Qian entertains them with good food and drink.

"Then what are you going to do?" Chu Chen asked.

Han Wenqing rubbed his forehead, sighed, and said, "Sun Ye is not easy to mess with. If you can't completely grasp him, it's better not to move, so I don't plan to confront him, as long as I can get back Yu Wangding, the rest will be fine." It’s even more careful.”

Chu Chen nodded and said nothing more.

As a reward, Han Wenqing invited Chu Chen to have a meal at the Shouyang Pavilion in the city, and then personally sent Chu Chen home.

Chu Chen was tired all day long and had no energy to make any further troubles. He was naturally happy if someone offered to treat him to a meal. This saved another meal.

After returning home and taking a comfortable bath, Chu Chen lay down on the sofa and turned on the TV, thinking in his heart, what did Han Rui do in Guiqiu Hall today, that kid must be boring without him.

Taking out his cell phone from his pocket, Chu Chen kicked the empty can on the coffee table away. It was the Pepsi Cola he just bought yesterday, and he didn’t bother to throw it away after drinking it. Do not clean up.

At this time, I thought of Han Rui again.

After sending a text message to Han Rui, Chu Chen teased, "What is my wife doing, do you miss me?"

After waiting for about 10 minutes, but there was no response from there, Chu Chen frowned and simply dialed the phone.

After the call was connected, there was a loud voice, and there seemed to be many people around. Chu Chen heard a soft female voice asking, "Who are you looking for?"
