    Guo Weilong hesitated, obviously not wanting to agree.

    At this time, Brother Zhang licked his lips at the thug who came with him, and saw the man stepping forward quickly to put away the painting.

    "Brother Zhang, please wait a moment." Guo Weilong quickly stopped the person.

    Worried that the painting would be destroyed during the tugging, Brother Zhang waved his hand to prevent the thugs from forcing him, and said: "I reiterate, my patience is limited. If you don't give me an explanation, then I will have no choice but to force you."  coming."

    Seeing that Meng Zitao and the others were indifferent, Guo Weilong gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the painting, but you also have to return my IOU, right?"

    Brother Zhang said: "I have something to do later and don't have time to spend time with you. I will write you a receipt and ask my little brother to send you the IOU later."

    Guo Weilong protected the scroll and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I still want to see the IOU first."

    "What, you don't believe me?" Brother Zhang's expression became fierce.

    Guo Weilong was not timid and said bluntly: "Brother Zhang, this is my life-saving straw. As the old saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious. If something unexpected happens, don't blame me for trying so hard!"

    Brother Zhang stared at Guo Weilong: "Do you have to bring me the IOU before you give it to me?"

    Guo Weilong smiled slightly: "Brother Zhang, please be considerate of me."

    "Guo Weilong, okay, I'm very confident now."

    Brother Zhang sneered, turned and walked towards the door: "Tiger, stay here, don't let them take away the painting."

    The young man who looked like a thug grinned, showing his steel teeth: "Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm here, this painting can only be ours."

    Seeing that Brother Zhang was leaving, Guo Weilong quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, are you leaving?"

    Brother Zhang sneered and said, "Don't you want the IOU? I have to ask someone to bring it over. Why, don't you want the IOU?"

    Guo Weilong chuckled, not daring to say anything more to avoid misunderstanding or causing any unhappiness, which would do him no good.

    Brother Zhang snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the door.

    Guo Weilong walked back and said to the young man: "Brother Hu, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

    The young man glared at Guo Weilong: "Don't be nagging, if you really want to be polite, just let me take the painting away."

    Guo Weilong laughed dryly: "Brother Hu, please wait here for a while. Brother Zhang's place is not far from me anyway. It will take less than half an hour to get the things."

    At this time, Yu Weigang said with a worried expression: "Lao Guo, is it time to talk about our problems now?"

    Guo Weilong said apologetically: "Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry. This is really the only thing that catches your eye."

    Meng Zitao interrupted Yu Weigang who was about to speak: "Let's wait here and talk later. I believe Mr. Guo will definitely give us an explanation. Mr. Guo, don't you think so?"

    Guo Weilong smiled bitterly and said: "To tell you the truth, I really don't have anything else here. If I had anything else, I wouldn't have been so miserable and sold the villa."

    Meng Zitao chuckled and said, "We will talk about this later."

    Seeing that Meng Zitao was in trouble, Guo Weilong couldn't drive him away, and he always felt that Meng Zitao's smile was somewhat meaningful, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

    After waiting like this for about twenty minutes, a short, dark-skinned man walked into the room. He slapped a document directly on the table: "Guo Weilong, Brother Zhang has something to go to somewhere else.  It¡¯s your IOU.¡±

    Guo Weilong hurriedly opened the file, checked it carefully, and found that there was no problem. A smile appeared on his face: "Okay, please write a receipt."

    The young man didn¡¯t want to talk to Guo Weilong, so he asked for a pen and paper and wrote a receipt. He carefully put the painting away and left with his companions without even saying hello.

    Yu Weigang said: "It's time to resolve our matters."

    "Wait a minute." Meng Zitao waved his hand: "I think we should solve a problem first. Why did they come in just when they were taking out the painting?"

    Yu Weigang was stunned and felt that something was wrong with this matter. How did they know that he and Meng Zitao were looking for Guo Weilong?  Even if you guessed it, how could it happen by such a coincidence?

    "Eavesdropping device?!" Yu Weigang immediately thought of a possibility.

    Guo Weilong was also startled, but the possibility was indeed extremely high. He immediately thought of bugs in movies and television, and evenFa Shuo was burned by Li Zicheng. After Li Zicheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he hurriedly evacuated the capital.  He vented his anger on the centuries-old palaces and towers in the capital and ordered them to be set on fire.  In such a troubled world where everyone is in danger, no one cares about the existence and fate of a book.

    But this is also unfounded. Li Zicheng burned some books, but there is no record that the "Yongle Dadian" was burned.  Moreover, even the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty did not know where the original copy of "Yongle Dadian" was stored. How to prove that what Li Zicheng burned was the "Yongle Dadian"?  This is just a guess.

    Although there are different opinions, one unchangeable fact is that for hundreds of years, the original copy of "Yongle Dadian" has never appeared.  All official and unofficial histories cannot find accurate records of the original text.

    As for the copies, they were lost in the hands of successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty.  Shunzhi once kept the "Yongle Dadian" by his side for reading. The attendants around him may have taken the opportunity to steal the "Yongle Dadian" for themselves.  When Kangxi opened the library for book repair, he found that the copy of "Yongle Dadian" was incomplete.

    By the end of the Qing Dynasty, "Yongle Dadian" was again destroyed by war.  The Boxers besieged the British embassy, ??the Jingyi Pavilion where the "Yongle Dadian" was stored was destroyed, and the pages of the Hanlin Academy were scattered everywhere.  According to statistics, 607 copies of the "Yongle Dadian" were destroyed in this catastrophe.

    After the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, most of the "Yongle Dadian" was burned, and the rest were looted to other countries, such as Britain, the United States, France and other countries.  According to expert estimates, there are currently about 400 fragments of "Yongle Dadian" surviving in the world, scattered in 9 countries and regions.

    Over the past few decades, benevolent scholars at home and abroad have worked tirelessly to search for traces of the lost texts and extensively collected the remaining volumes. So far, 221 volumes have been collected by the National Library of China, and nearly 800 volumes of the texts have been published.  But this is less than 4% of the original book.

    It can be said that in order to find more "Yongle Dadian", relevant departments and some knowledgeable people have put in a lot of energy and effort. At this time, if the original "Yongle Dadian" suddenly appeared, what a big sensation it would cause.  Comparing Meng Zitao's extremely excited mood now, you can imagine it.

    Meng Zitao did not expect at all that this box actually contained the original copies of "Yongle Dadian". Although there were only three copies, he guessed that there must be clues to other "Yongle Dadian" hidden in them, or that the originals were hidden on that isolated island?

    But if this is the case, when was the original transported?

    Although this is a mystery, and the original copy of "Yongle Dadian" may not be on that isolated island, the facts have reached this point, and Meng Zitao has to find a way to visit that isolated island no matter what.  You know, Black Fire also has information about that isolated island. It would be too bad if they get there first and the original copy of "Yongle Dian" is indeed on that isolated island.

    Meng Zitao calmed down, and in order to avoid being noticed by Guo Weilong, he still pretended to look at the three volumes of "Yongle Dadian" casually, but he did not see any other clues in them.

    After that, he used the excuse of careful appraisal to look inside and outside the box, and finally used his superpower. Apart from concluding that the box was indeed an antique, he had no other information.

    This made Bi Meng Zitao very disappointed in his heart. Of course, he would not show it on his face. He nodded and said: "These things are not bad."

    Guo Weilong chuckled and said: "After all, it's what Zhu Cixiang uses and sees. It can't be any different."

    Meng Zitao asked: "Are you sure it was used by Zhu Cihong?"

    Guo Weilong spread his hands: "How can I be sure of this? I only know that this is the information handed down from my ancestors. As for you asking me to provide evidence, I definitely can't provide it."

    Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Guo, I want these things. Please give me a price."

    Guo Weilong pondered for a moment: "Well, let's consider it three million."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, if you can confirm that this is indeed used by Zhu Cixiang, I will definitely buy it without saying anything. Now, the price is a bit high, and I sincerely want to buy it. How about two million?"  ?¡±

    Guo Weilong smiled bitterly and said: "Your price is too fierce, it could be less than 200,000 at most."

    Meng Zitao shook his head, and after a lot of back and forth, he finally reached 2.6 million.

    After directly transferring the money to Guo Weilong using his laptop, Meng Zitao asked again: "Mr. Guo, you see I am also sincere. Do you really have nothing else?"

    ¡°It¡¯s really gone, I swear!¡± Guo Weilong raised his hands and said.

    Meng Zitao asked again: "Let me ask again, are these the only things your ancestors got?"

    Guo Weilong said in a sincere tone: "I should have sold a few pieces. I don't know exactly what was sold."

    Next, Meng Zitao asked a few more questions, and then left with Yu Weigang.

    After going downstairs, Yu Weigang said angrily: "No wonder the old saying goes, Lu Yao eats horsepower, and time will tell people's hearts. I never thought before that Guo Weilong is such a no-nonsense guy. No wonder when he handed over the painting just now  , I didn¡¯t even feel that he was distressed.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "That's why the old saying goes well, you know people and faces but don't know the heart." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), I¡¯m not sure.  "

    Next, Meng Zitao asked a few more questions, and then left with Yu Weigang.

    After going downstairs, Yu Weigang said angrily: "No wonder the old saying goes, Lu Yao eats horsepower, and time will tell people's hearts.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "That's why the old saying goes well, you know people but don't know their hearts." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
