Awkwardly, she left Xiao Shengnan's apartment, but this slight guilt only lasted for a while. Wei Fan thought about it, since he had done it, he would have to bear the responsibility, and even if Xiao Shengnan wanted him to take responsibility, he would have to take on the role of a man.

However, if Queen Xiao really wanted him to take responsibility, that would also be good. It was just that she didn't know how to get past Xuancao's problem.

When he returned, Wei Fan found that Lao Jiang was no longer holed up in the workshop but was watching an animated cartoon.

Lao Jiang was specially waiting for Wei Fan.

"Little Wei, didn't you want to see the antiques!? There's such a chance, do you want to go? "

Lao Jiang only asked because he knew Wei Fan could not refuse. Because he himself was also very curious, even if Wei Fan didn't go, he would still have to participate. Because today's auction was not going to be an ordinary auction, but a black market.

There was a black market for everything, and there were quite a few black markets in the antique industry. However, if one wasn't an expert, one wouldn't even have the chance to participate.

The biggest difference between the black market and the public auctions was that the origin of the items was not to be trifled with. Who knew how many ancient tombs were buried under the thick soil? Although the military officers of the Gold Rush Academy didn't understand feng shui, they still had advanced technology to help with the excavation of the ancient tombs.

Since it was a tomb robber, then it wouldn't be good to dig out the antiques. Although he could find some acquaintances to help him, he still had to be careful.

Under the dual demand of the buyer and the seller, the black market was born. Furthermore, buying antiques on the black market was generally cheaper than buying them through regular channels. After all, the seller was in a hurry to cash in. Anyone that could manage a black market would have to travel across black and white to be able to stay safe. Lao Jiang had brought Wei Fan to a black market, which was rumored to be organized by a red aristocrat organization.

Without someone familiar with the place, even if Lao Jiang knew the location, it would still be impossible to enter, so he brought Wei Fan to meet up with his old friend. Then, the two cars drove to the outskirts of Beijing.

They went from eight lanes to four lanes, and now they were driving on a small road in the countryside. Lao Jiang had worried about whether or not they should go on a mountain road.

The car in front finally stopped in front of a small farmhouse, and Lao Jiang followed closely behind as they got off the car.

Lao Jiang's friend had long informed them that he would be bringing a new person over, the few black suit men looked at Wei Fan and the rest but did not see anything wrong, and passionately let them through.

Entering the courtyard, he realized that it was like a completely different world compared to the outside. Entering the extremely modern house, Wei Fan saw that the entire first floor was divided into several tens of areas, which could be considered as each booth.

After telling Wei Fan and the others about the rules, the friend from Lao Jiang went back to work.

The two rookies confidently walked to a stall and examined its contents. The stall owner did not stop them as well, making it extremely safe.

Wei Fan could feel the abundance of spirit energy, which showed that most of the items here were old antiques, and the things in front of him were mostly real too. Furthermore, Wei Fan could feel a strong fishy smell from the booth owner's body, so he didn't need to guess to know that the booth owner was a field officer.

Lao Jiang thought that he had some eyes, and also chose a jade that he was familiar with. After playing with it for a while, he concluded, "This is the Hetian seed jade, its ingredients are pretty good."

When the stall owner heard that the Lao Jiang had been appraised, he had already attracted the attention of the people around. He said depressingly: "Old mister, you just need to know the quality of this thing. There is no need to say it out loud. "What price would you like to offer me? If the price is suitable, I'll give it to you."

He did not expect that it would break the rules, the Lao Jiang did not speak anymore, he was truly fond of the jade toad that was carved from Hetian, his family property could also play with antiques, so he decided to buy it.

After contacting the current market of Hetian Jade and looking at the times, Lao Jiang added a bit of money and finally gave a price of three hundred and fifty thousand.

The stall owner finally understood the situation. So this old man was not an expert. Otherwise, why would he offer such a low price? Facing such a rookie, he felt quite helpless.

Seeing that the booth owner was frowning, not satisfied with his offer, Lao Jiang tried again: "That is four hundred thousand?"

The booth owner had time, so he simply stated his price.

"Eight hundred and seventy thousand!"

To the Lao Jiang, this price was not difficult, but to him, although it was Hetian Jade, it was not the kind of price that was at the top. How could it be worth this price?

The vendor had no choice but to teach him. The era that he lost his Jade Toad was still the same as the Ming Dynasty.

He did not trust the era that the booth owner had mentioned, but inwardly, he believed that even if it was not the Ming dynasty, the Qing dynasty would still be able to match it. It was also a fortunate thing to be able to observe the carving techniques of the ancient people.

In the end, the two of them transferred the funds and Lao Jiang took the Jade Toad.

As he played with the warm Jade Toad in his hand, the Lao Jiang instigated: "Little Wei, aren't you going to pick a fight with him? Buy a piece for your soulmate! "

Xiao Shengnan had become a little knot in her heart, looking at Lao Jiang unhappily, Wei Fan had actually picked up a jade hairpin.

Seeing that Wei Fan was also holding onto a jade, the Lao Jiang had the chance to show off.

"Hehe, Little Wei, this is just ordinary cyan jade, it's not as good as our Hetian jade …"

"Cough, cough." The vendor reminded him once more.

Wei Fan was not looking at the materials, but whether or not the spirit energy inside them was sufficient. Although the jade toad from Lao Jiang had quite a bit of spirit energy, it was not comparable to this tiny jade hairpin. Furthermore, from Wei Fan's looks, the jade hairpin was also pretty good.

After asking about the stall owner's price, Lao Jiang had already pointed out that the material of the jade hairpin was not worth much and removed the stall owner's stage. Thus, he did not ask for a high price, it was only a little over 60,000.

After putting the jade hairpin into his pocket, and the Lao Jiang left the stall just now. They wanted to see if there was anything else they liked.

Men are more interested in weapons. Ancient generals buried their weapons in their tombs, and some of them are still intact today.

At this time, the Lao Jiang and Wei Fan were holding a few rusty daggers and swords, sizing them up.

The stall owner was a young man whose depth couldn't be seen. He didn't even take the initiative to greet people when he saw them looking at things. He coldly looked at them.

The two of them were just bystanders. They did not know much about swords and sabers. The two of them were discussing whether or not the sword could still be used, when Wei Fan said yes, Lao Jiang was against it.

The best way was to buy these weapons and use facts to describe them.

"Young man, how much are these swords?" The Lao Jiang asked with a smile.

The stall owner lazily raised his eyes and said, "Eighty thousand taels of sword. Ninety thousand taels of sword."

They never thought that this broken thing would be worth so much money. The two of them immediately lost interest.

Seeing that someone was walking upstairs, Lao Jiang and Wei Fan decided to walk around the entire first floor and also wanted to go up for a look. However, just as they stepped onto the stairs, they were politely stopped. They asked if there were any numbers.

So it turns out that it wasn't something an ordinary person could enter. The two weren't interested in it at all. Suddenly, Wei Fan saw an acquaintance, and thought of what the Lao Jiang had said. He had a plan.
