Chapter 91 Four hundred taels of gold
Situ Ce saw a wooden box next to him, which was the one he asked him to identify the authenticity last time, and said strangely: "Sir Diao is this..."
"Come on! You sit down first and let's talk slowly."
Situ Ce placed the scroll on the coffee table, lifted his clothes and sat down. The servant in the flower hall served tea and then left and closed the door.
Diao Peng smiled mysteriously, looked at Situ Ce, bent down and opened the wooden box. There were many scrolls inside. Diao Peng took out all the scrolls, revealing the small half box of things below, which was yellow and golden! But it was a small half box of gold!
Situ Ce was stunned. I wonder why Diao Peng brought such a small box of gold to him. I couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
Diao Peng saw Situ Ce's confused eyes and not only laughed proudly, but then stopped the laughter and lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Situ, although I, Diao, are very loyal. I said before, once this matter is done, there will be benefits for us brothers to divide, I am four and you six! Well, this is your 40% benefit!"
Situ Ce looked down and said, "This is for me?"
"Yes, this box contains 400 taels of gold! It's what you deserve. I'll send it to you, dice it!"
Situ Ce did not look into the box anymore, but only looked at him: "What's going on? Please explain it clearly. I will not take out unknown wealth."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely clear!" Diao Peng said happily, glanced at the door, closed it tightly, and there was his Dongchang mansion guarding it outside, so there was no need to worry, but he still suppressed the voice low: "Last time you selected four calligraphy and paintings for me, which were from the Tang and Song dynasties. I handed over three Song dynasties, leaving only that one from the Tang dynasty. I found a buyer. The buyer was an expert and hired a special talent to read it. It was sure that it was from the Tang dynasty, and it was painted by some famous artists. It was priceless! Because we were all dealing with each other, he didn't wrong me, so he gave me a real price, one thousand taels of gold! Hahaha..."
Speaking of this, Diao Peng laughed up to the sky and stopped for a long time, saying, "I thought I would be grateful for the gods that this calligraphy and painting could have two or three hundred taels of gold. I couldn't imagine that I had so much money. A whole thousand taels of gold! I was so happy that I couldn't stop myself. I knew that the money he gave should be fair, so I didn't bargain. I immediately agreed and took the silver back. We agreed before that the silver was paid for June 4th. Because I wanted to give the brothers below, I would give you a little more and give you 40% of it. Please accept it with a smile!"
One tael of gold is worth ten taels of silver, and four hundred taels of gold is 4,000 taels of silver, which is 4 million yuan, which is equivalent to the lifelong salary of modern civil servants! No wonder Diao Peng said before that if this matter is done, he will earn money for a lifetime.
Seeing this yellow gold, it would be too forced to make Situ Ce unmoved. However, Situ Ce has more important things to deal with at this moment. If this matter is not handled well, maybe don't expect to spend the gold in this small box.
However, before he could speak, Diao Peng had already said it first, and took pictures of the pile of calligraphy and paintings on the coffee table, saying, "You know these calligraphy and paintings, which were found in the tomb. After you used magic to identify the worthless ones, I handed them over to our Yin Ge manager, Mr. Cui Shu. In addition, I took out the three pairs you selected and gave them to Lord Cui. Mr. Cui found someone to identify them. It was indeed true. I liked them very much, and I also asked someone to identify the rest.
, found that it was indeed not worth much, so I left one of the three pairs, and gave the remaining two and half of the calligraphy and paintings to the court, and returned the remaining half to us, saying that although these calligraphy and paintings were fakes, they were well written. The brothers worked hard, and they gave the remaining half to the brothers and hang them in their own house to show off. I took them back. Brothers! - Forgive me, call sir brother, okay?"
Situ Ce saw that he had a horse face and his mouth was full of yellow teeth, and he was very disgusted. However, he still held back and did not reveal it. Anyway, Long Xiang, the Jinyiwei, had already called him brothers, and he didn't care about a "brother" in Duodong Factory, so he smiled and said, "Okay."
"Great! Brothers! We will be brothers in the future! Hahaha, last time it was really flooded the Dragon King Temple. The whole family did not recognize the whole family! The mountains and rivers did not turn around, and we would never think that we would become brothers one day! Big brother, you will be my elder brother in the future! - Brother is here, please bow to me!" After that, he stood up and bowed:
According to his appearance and age, Diao Peng is obviously much older than Situ Ce, but he is willing to be a younger brother, so he naturally holds Situ Ce. Diao Peng has been in the East Factory for many years. The most important thing about the East Factory is to observe his words and expressions. Seeing that this young fortune teller is not simple, Diao Peng has already made up his mind to win him over. Who knew that there was rain in the sky, so he naturally went to the bottom of the pot. Looking at Situ Ce, it was such a master, so Diao Peng deliberately flattered him.
Situ Ce was too lazy to really call him brothers. If he liked to be a younger brother, he would just be like him. He smiled immediately, got up and bowed to him, and sat down without saying a word.
Diao Peng's face was full of excitement, as if he had picked up a big ingot, rubbed his hands and sat down, and then said, "Brother, you can identify these calligraphy and paintings, at least you can identify the authenticity of these calligraphy and paintings. Otherwise, Huang Chengcheng's 1,000 taels of gold will be wasted. So, I will immediately choose these calligraphy and paintings that Lord Cui returned. I will give them to my brothers first. If you choose the rest, I will give them to my brothers. To be honest, our brothers in Dongchang are all big and rough, and many people can't read a lot of words. You can just be happy to know any calligraphy and paintings. You are different. You are a scholar, you know writing and judging words, know astronomy and geography, know yin and yang, and know the gossip, and have extremely clever magic. If you stay here, you will be the master of things!"
Situ Ce said: "If I ask me to choose, will I be the ones I get?"
"Of course, it's all dug out from the ground anyway, so don't want it. Then we will naturally have a share of the people we meet. Let me leave it to you for the eldest brother."
Situ Ce opened the box and saw all these calligraphy and paintings. Since they were all fakes, there was no need to choose them. He picked up a few pictures: "That's all."
Seeing that he had only picked up a few pairs, Diao Peng said, "Brother, you are so dissatisfied!" After that, he picked up a large bundle in the box, which accounted for almost one-third of all the calligraphy and paintings, and stuffed them into Situ Ce's arms.
Situ Ce waved his hand and said, "No, leave it to the brothers in the East Factory. Everyone will hang out and show off. I will just leave these pictures."
Diao Peng refused to support him, and the two of them pushed him around, and Situ Ce left behind more than ten calligraphy and paintings, and then he gave up.
Diao Peng put the remaining calligraphy and paintings back into the box, looked at the three portraits Situ Ce brought, and said, "What kind of treasure is this, brother?"
Situ Ce smiled mysteriously and said, "It's really a treasure. If you make it well, you're afraid that the money you earn is more effective than your calligraphy and painting!"
Diao Peng's eyes widened: "Really? It was the calligraphy and painting of a famous person in ancient times? Can I take a look?"
"It's for you to show it."
Diao Peng quickly wiped his hand on the lapel, carefully unfolded a scroll, only halfway spreading, he was stunned. He glanced at Situ Ce, his eyes were full of doubts, and then unfolded. After unfolding the entire painting, he was stunned and looked at Situ Ce: "Brother..., this is...? This is the portrait of Cai Yao from our East Factory! How did it come into your hands?"
Situ Ce glanced at the tall man and said, "Do you recognize this person?"
"Of course, he is from the Dongchang Ying Group and came to our Zhenhai County a few days ago."
"Eagle Group?" Situ Ce felt a bad feeling when he heard this name.
Diao Peng glanced at the closed door and whispered: "Brother, I'm going to tell you that this Eagle Group is an assassination team in our East Factory, specializing in assassination operations."
It turned out that the Ying Group was an assassination organization of the East Factory, and Cai Yao was one of the killers. This also shows that Wei Yuefeng's acquisition of the death was related to the East Factory.
Situ Ce asked, "What are they here to do?"
Diao Peng smiled bitterly: "The Eagle Group is directly led by the factory master, not under our jurisdiction, and its actions are very secretive, so I, the Sesame Official, don't know."
"What about the other two? Take a look."
Diao Peng unfolded the other two portraits. The front one was the beard, and recognized another member of the eagle group who was also with Fan Chong, named Fan Chong. The back one was also recognized by Diao Peng, who was the nephew of Yan Song, the powerful minister of the dynasty!
Seeing the last painting, Diao Peng was completely stunned and looked at Situ Ce.
Situ Ce said: "Have these three people been to Zhenhai County a few days ago?"
"Yes, but I really don't know what business is going on."
"Where are they now?"
"I don't know, they are dragons who don't see their heads but their tails, so we dare not ask. - Brother, should you tell me what's going on?"
Situ Ce lowered his voice and said, "The brother of the concubine of the Jinyiwei, the Wei Mansion's joint-minister, Lord Wei Yuefeng, was taken by two servants from the south to get into a truck of blue and white porcelain. When passing by our Zhenhai County, he was assassinated and robbed from the east. Do you know this?"
Diao Peng nodded: "The Jinyiwei is investigating this case, and his superiors are pressing him very tightly. Didn't he say that you are helping them solve this case?" As soon as he said this, Diao Peng was suddenly shocked and said: "Can... these three people be assassinated by Mr. Yan and the other three?"
Situ Ce nodded slowly: "That's right, the ironclad evidence is as strong as a mountain!"
"Uncle Yan is... the nephew of the chief minister, Ge Lao Yan...!"
"So, do you think these three paintings are worth it?"
Diao Peng was a little confused by the news. After a long time, he was a little more awake and said hurriedly: "Brother, you show these three paintings to me. What does this mean..."
