    Shopkeeper Zhu held the box, and the muscles on his face twitched for a while, and he squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Young Master, aren't you entertaining me?"

    "Twenty yuan is enough to buy this agarwood box of yours." Rong Jiashang took off his gloves and threw them at Shopkeeper Zhu's face, knocking his glasses off. "Zhu Laojiu, if there is a lady here, I will say anything rude."  Let¡¯s not talk about it. This piece of gold-plated iron is too light for a paperweight and too small for pressing pickles. You have the nerve to offer 20,000 yuan for such a broken thing. Why don¡¯t you die?¡±

    Seeing that Rong Jia had revealed his fault, Shopkeeper Zhu let go and said with a smile: "Young Master Rong is indeed a man who knows the goods, but I am not careful enough. Just wait a moment, I will get the genuine product for you."  "

    As he spoke, he took off a half-old sachet from his waist and took out a silk bag.  When he opened it, he found another golden unicorn inside.

    Rong Jiashang picked up the golden unicorn through his gloves, weighed it in his hands, and said with a smile: "This time it should be pure gold, not the yellow leather stuff before."

    "Look what you said." Shopkeeper Zhu said, "In our business, if we want to deceive, we also deceive those ignorant foreigners outside."

    Foreigner Thompson¡¯s face dropped.

    Feng Shizhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "The shopkeeper is honest. Do you feel guilty for deceiving the Chinese people, but you are doing justice to the deceitful foreign devils?"

    Shopkeeper Zhu stroked his beard and said proudly: "I think after the Opium War, the Chinese people have always abandoned their armor at the hands of foreigners and ceded land to pay compensation. But here, foreigners can only be played by us as our grandchildren. Although I am just  They are merchants, but they have the heart to serve the country. Although they cannot expel the Tartars, it is always possible to trick them into making some money."

    Thompson¡¯s Chinese language skills are half-baked and he doesn¡¯t understand much, but he knows that the words he speaks are definitely not good ones.  Because Rong Jiasheng was present, he could not have an attack, so he went to the window to smoke with a dark face.

    "Stop being so embarrassed." Rong Jiashang put Jin Qilin down and tapped the table with a magnifying glass. "This one is of good workmanship, but it's not real. I mean Zhu Laojiu, this is what I say.  Now, can¡¯t you be more honest?¡±

    Shopkeeper Zhu now looked like he had too many lice but was not itching. He did not defend himself and immediately said: "Master Rong, wait a moment, I have another one here."

    besides?  Feng Shizhen burst into laughter.

    "Don't take it!" Rong Jiashang became impatient, "How do you think I'm here to identify treasures for you? Let me explain my words. Before my father sold this golden unicorn, he tampered with it in order to identify it.  .¡±

    He nodded on Jin Qilin¡¯s head, raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°He filed off one of Qilin¡¯s manes.¡±

    Shopkeeper Zhu suddenly realized with a look on his face, he slapped his thigh and said, "I thought it was that grandson who did it! It turns out that it was Boss Rong's handiwork. Master Rong, you just said you had marked it."

    Rongjia held up the golden unicorn and said: "The two fakes we took out, the first one has all the manes, but the second one is missing one mane."

    Shopkeeper Zhu chuckled.

    "When it comes to imitation porcelain, it belongs to Huang Erye from Beiping Liulichang. As for imitation metal ware, you Zhu Jiuye is the second, and no one dares to be the first." Rong Jiashang raised his hand politely.

    Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly returned the gift, "Young Master Rong, please call me Lao Jiu. I am now hunkered down in this small place, precarious, and I am no longer a great man."

    Rongjia said: "The second one you imitated is obviously based on the golden unicorn that my father had tampered with. So, do you know where the original one is?"

    Shopkeeper Zhu chuckled: "Young Master Rong didn't bring any of his men, he only brought a beautiful lady. I accept this gift from you and tell you the truth. I copied the original product, but that was already eighteen years ago.  The authentic product has never passed through my hands. The person who held the golden unicorn at that time was a wealthy businessman from Nanyang, surnamed Ruan. After I finished my work, he bought the golden unicorn. I will do the rest.  I no longer know."

    Not to mention Rong Jiashang, even Feng Shizhen could guess that Zhu Laojiu must know more than that.

    Rong Jiashang smiled leisurely and suddenly asked: "Have you heard any news about your junior brother recently?"

    Shopkeeper Zhu¡¯s expression suddenly changed dramatically, and the smile on his face seemed to be washed away by the flood, revealing a hard, iron-green, and extremely ferocious face.

    Rong Jiashang said: "You, my junior brother, raped and killed my junior sister and burned my master and my wife to death. If you hadn't gone out at that time, the tree on the grave would have been three feet tall at this moment. You cut off your fingers in front of the master's family's grave and swore revenge."  . Almost ten years have passed, but is it revenge?"

    Shopkeeper Zhu took a deep breath and said hoarsely: "If Master Rong knows the whereabouts of my junior brother, please tell me. Lao Jiu, I will definitely do my best to repay you!"

     Rong Jiashang pulled out an envelope from his suit, flicked it and said, "Speak first."

    Shopkeeper Zhu blushed and said: "As far as I know, a wealthy businessman named Ruan was stolen on a ship from Shanghai to Hong Kong. The golden unicorn was stolen by a thief named Luo Wushou and was first transported to Guangzhou.  In Guangzhou, several more copies of this golden unicorn were made, and the fakes were scattered, but the original was always in the hands of Luo Wushou. Later, when Luo Wushou married his only daughter, he used the golden unicorn as a dowry.  The son-in-law¡¯s family. The son-in-law had a double-minded intention and exchanged the fake product for the genuine product, and then sold the genuine product to a Japanese at a high price.¡±

    This is quite tortuous.  Feng Shizhen listened with great interest, like listening to a book.

    Shopkeeper Zhu took a sip of tea and continued: "The Japanese opened opium gardens in the three northeastern provinces. On the surface, they are businessmen, but in fact they are the children of Japanese warlords. Both brothers are officers stationed in the three northeastern provinces."

    At this point, even Feng Shizhen had already heard the clues.

    Rong Jiashang¡¯s sneer disappeared and he stared at Zhu Laojiu.

    Zhu Laojiu didn't look at him, lowered his head to collect the two fakes, and said: "This person's name is Hashimoto Shozo. Now his family has moved from Northeast China to Shanghai. He is quite famous in the social circle. Young Master Rong may know him."

    Rong Jia¡¯s lips pursed into a straight line, and her knuckled fingers rubbed the envelope loudly.  Shopkeeper Zhu stared straight at the envelope, like a man who has been hungry for three days looking at a meat bun.

    "Add a check for one thousand yuan to this envelope." Rong Jiashang took out his checkbook and started writing, "I also asked Boss Zhu to send a message to Hashimoto, saying that someone wants to buy the golden unicorn in his hand.  "

    But Zhu Laojiu folded his hands and smiled, refusing to accept his check.

    "Hashimoto only has one legitimate son, who has been sick and weak since he was a child. But since he got the golden unicorn, his son's illness has been cured. He regards the golden unicorn as his son's life-saving talisman, and keeps it very preciously. He will never  I took action. Of course I wanted to make money from Mr. Rong, but I couldn¡¯t do it, and I didn¡¯t have the nerve to reach out. "

    Rong Jiashang pinched the envelope, frowning irritably, and said, "Isn't there any way to impress him?"

    Zhu Laojiu shook his head, "Hashimoto was born into a wealthy Japanese family. He is powerful and wealthy. He has many wives and concubines, and has children. He lacks everything. I also know that Young Master Rong is eager to hunt for treasures, but I am helpless in this matter."

    Rong Jiashang thought about it for a moment, then handed over the check and envelope, "Shut up, and add a fake golden unicorn. Do the job well, don't fool me!"

    "Even if I take off the head, I don't dare to fool you, Mr. Rong!" Zhu Laojiu nodded and took the envelope, opened it and glanced at it, showing a look of astonishment.

    "This person"

    "This man originally worked for my father as a thug. He is honest, loyal, and willing to endure hardships. He is still highly valued by my father." Rong Jiashang smiled coldly, "He is now in charge of an opium garden in Yunnan for my father. Nine  If you want to find him, go south."

    It turned out to be a subordinate of the Rong family!  No wonder Rong Jiashang is so confident.

    "Thank you also, Young Master Rong, for your advice." Zhu Laojiu bowed deeply and respectfully, took out a palm-sized wooden box, and handed it to Rong Jiashang with both hands, "I heard that Young Master was looking at rubies in the market a while ago, but there was no  Selected. Although mine is not the best material, it is genuine and comes from the palace, and has been consecrated by eminent monks. I hope the young master will not dislike it."

    Rong Jiashang opened it and took a look, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Feng Shizhen again.

    "It's a good thing. Shopkeeper Zhu is very thoughtful, thank you very much!" #####(Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
