The Complete Works of the Tomb, Part Two: Exploring the Qinling Mountains 214

"Haha, Fourth Master has promoted me." I said with the pleasure of vanity in my heart.

"Then haven't you and your grandfather been doing business in Luoyang? Why did you come to us to ask about such an unknown person?" The fourth master continued to ask when he saw that I seemed to be caught up in his compliments.

As soon as I heard what he said, I woke up immediately, and I couldn't help cursing in my heart: Damn, you are such an old fox, don't even think about trying to get anything out of my mouth.

"Oh? Fourth Master, have you forgotten the agreement we just made?" I quickly answered him with a smile.

"Oh...oh...hehe, yes, you see I'm old and confused, that's fine, my old man just won't ask anymore." This dead old man didn't expect that I didn't fall into his trap at all, and then he was stunned and felt a little uncomfortable.

He said with a smile.

"Haha, I think the fourth master already knows my identity and origin. So is it your turn now, the fourth master..." Seeing that the fourth master obviously believed my identity, I quickly asked.

"Ah...haha, of course, this Uncle Mu came to me two weeks ago to sell goods. This is his second item. The first item was a jade ring from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he said it was

It was passed down by my ancestors, so I gave him five thousand yuan to accept it. I didn't ask further about the origin of the thing or his situation, because you also know that in our industry, it is taboo to ask about the situation of the buyer and seller.

." Fourth Master said and paused here.

"But when he came to me again last week with this stove, he once again said that the stove was handed down from our ancestors, but as soon as I saw the stove, I knew that this thing had just come out of the bucket, so I immediately

I feel that this matter is a bit strange, because he obviously doesn't know anything about the antique business, which means that he is definitely not a quarrel, but how could he have such a thing? I'm afraid of getting into trouble for myself.

Necessary trouble. After he left that day, I sent someone to follow him to check his details. After two days of checking, nothing suspicious was found at all. I only knew that he was the village chief and mountain ranger of Guizigou Village.

The captain of the team is an honest farmer. I couldn't figure out how he got the things at the time, but after a few days I found that there was no trouble chasing him, so I just let it go." The fourth master said while sipping tea.

I said.

"You mean that Uncle Mu gave you a jade ring before?" I asked quickly as soon as I heard what the old man said.

"Well, yes, it's a thing from the early Ming Dynasty. It's not a palace thing, but the workmanship and material are quite good. I think it might have been used by wealthy families at that time." The fourth master seemed to be interested in the jade when he saw me.

He seemed very interested, so he explained in more detail.

"Can I take a look?" I looked at the fourth master eagerly and asked.

"Haha, even if I want to show it to you, I can't do it. I already took action the day before yesterday." The fourth master smiled and looked at me and said.
