Chapter 627： Leopard in the tube

Chapter 627 Peeping the Leopard in the Tube

"How is it possible for me? My father has taught me since I was a child that you can make money by being kind. These are shoes passed down from my ancestors. They will not be worn out for many years. I came here because I needed money urgently, otherwise I would not give up. You Give palms, palms, and count as many as you like, and if it fits, I’ll give you all the bags.” Liu Dadao looked at the bags with an innocent face, as if he was afraid that Zhang Chaofeng at the counter would put his bag of shoes on. It looks like it was dropped.

Really poor! Just this bag of broken shoes, why are you so nervous? ! Really poor people can't live without pawnshops! However, the poor in the past pawned off their jackets, leather jackets, and clothes of a little value to relieve their urgent needs, but it was the first time for them to send a bag of stinky broken shoes!

I have been doing court worship for more than ten years. This bag of broken shoes is the most speechless **** I have ever received. Let alone this bag of broken shoes, let alone the valuation, it would be a **** hindrance even if it was placed in the pawn. As for the valuation, estimate your mother! The purpose of opening a **** shop is to make money, not to do charity!

What about the shoes passed down from the ancestors? ! Are you kidding me? !

Ugh?

and many more? !

Just this bag of broken shoes, why is this bumpkin so nervous? It shouldn't be. Could it be that there is another mystery in it? Shoes handed down from ancestors? !

Zhang Chaofeng suddenly twitched his eyelids, and then he remembered the example his master often used to educate him when he first entered the industry:

It was about 20 or 30 years after Jing Nan, and not long after another pawnshop named Xing Longchang opened in this street, a gentleman surnamed Zhou in Beibingmasi Hutong came to **** a painting. This week's family is not an ordinary family. Their ancestors were hereditary uncles who were rewarded when the Ming Dynasty founded the country. It is useless compared to one, and the only way to make a living is by changing the bottom line of the seller.

Xungui Zhou came to Xinglongchang Pawnshop and asked to **** the painting handed down by his ancestors with thirty taels of silver. Xungui Zhou was received by Xinglongchang Pawnshop by an old shopkeeper with good eyesight and rich experience. After receiving the painting, I looked at it carefully. This painting should be the old earl's painting. It is not a famous work. The structure and artistry of the painting look very immature. Let alone thirty taels of silver, even ten taels of silver are not worth it. . In the painting, an old man is hiding behind the woods, using a bamboo tube on his eyes to observe a crawling leopard in the woods, with the inscription "seeing the leopard in the tube" written on it. Apart from that, there is nothing else on the painting, no signature, no time, and no poems.

Looking at the leopard in a tube? !

The old shopkeeper has rich experience, and after a few minutes of careful study, he discovered the secret of this "Pipe in a Tube" painting. At that time, the court servants of the **** shop thought that the painting was only worth ten taels of silver, but the old treasurer rejected all opinions and agreed to the thirty taels of silver requested by Zhou Xungui. The current period is set to three months.

This is a live pawn, a three-month **** ticket, which means that within three months, you can redeem the painting as long as you pay 32 taels of principal and 323 cents of interest, but if you do not redeem it after the expiration date, That painting belongs to the pawnshop.

On the night after the transaction was completed, after the pawnshop closed, the old treasurer took out the painting by himself at the pawnshop. Light up the oil lamp, carefully observe the painting, **** around the painting with hands, and finally discover the secret hidden in the painting.

Generally, the scroll part of a painting is made of solid jujube wood or pear wood, but the scroll part of this painting is made of high-quality Xiaoxiang bamboo. When knocked by hand, there is an echo inside, and it is hollow. of.

The old shopkeeper showed a smile when he found out, and after groping around the scroll for a while, he found that the scroll was made of two sections of bamboo, one of which could be pulled out by turning clockwise by hand. After pulling it out, I found a piece of silk exposed at the other end. I pulled out the silk carefully, and then found a string of 13 rare jadeite bracelets of Laokeng glass species.

The old shopkeeper has a deep research on jade. This string of 13 emeralds is round and jade-like, and the color is uniform and uniform. It should come from the same stone, which is invaluable.

It is estimated that the ancestors surnamed Zhou Xungui seized it and hid it privately when they accompanied the army to conquer the southern barbarian Burma. It was hidden in the painting for the sake of secrecy.

Feed, leave also. —— "Guang Ya"

Feed treasure in the tube, that is, there are treasures left in the bamboo tube.

The family fortune of the Zhou family was in decline, and in addition, they were on the wrong team during the Jingnan battle, and they were suppressed and purged, which probably led to the interruption of this word of mouth secret.

The old shopkeeper quietly wrapped the bracelet with silk, put it back into the bamboo tube, and then recombined the scroll intact, and put the original back.

This is a well-known fact. The Zhou family relies on selling the seller's money to make a living, so there is no possibility of redemption. Sure enough, Zhou Xungui, surnamed Zhou, quickly spent the money and spent the thirty taels of silver, and did not redeem the pawns as scheduled.

Thus, the old shopkeeper of Xinglongchang Pawnshop made a shocking windfall.

Generation after generation

This allusion is regarded as a classic case, educating every new entrant in the industry, and educating them to polish, polish and polish their eyes when evaluating.

After thinking of this, Zhang Chaofeng ninja smelt the pungent smell on his head, and checked the bag of broken shoes again and again, carefully rummaging through every sole and insole. From workmanship to materials, I have studied it over and over again.

Then

Finally, I came to a conclusion: this f*ck is a bag of broken shoes that are so ordinary that they can no longer be ordinary. The materials and handwork are all unremarkable, and the time is only made in recent years. If there is anything special, it is special. Smelly!

"How much do you want to be?" Zhang Chaofeng asked grimly.

"100 Wen, no, 1 tael of silver, no less, this is my ancestor..."

Before Liu Dadao finished speaking, he saw a bag of smelly shoes being thrown out of the window, and then Liu Dadao was kicked out by the clerk in the **** shop.

"Damn it, you still dare to **** shop. I don't have any sharp eyesight. What a good shoe. I don't believe it yet. I'll try another pawnshop." After Liu Dadao left the pawnshop, he spat hard, with Lao Tzu's attitude of dissatisfaction.

"Ouch..."

Just as Liu Dadao was about to leave to try another **** shop, he suddenly heard a howl like a slaughtered pig from behind, and when he turned around, he saw a man who looked like a butler fell down from the steps of the **** shop door.

Whoops, whoops, whoops

One oops and one movement, put the left foot on the right leg, hold the sky with both hands, hit the ground with his face, plop plop plop plop, fell down the steps, and fell right under Liu Dadao's feet.

"Everyone saw it, you fell it yourself, don't rely on me." Liu Dadao groaned vigorously, expressing his innocence to everyone.

"How could it be, my old Zheng is not that kind of person." Zheng Butler stood up while supporting Liu Dadao's leg.

"Thank you, this strong man, for helping me, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall badly." Steward Zheng thanked Liu Dadao after getting up.

Uh

Liu Dadao looked confused, I saved you so much, you pulled my leg up by yourself.

"Hey, strong man, I see that you just came out of the **** shop, but you encountered difficulties in life, do you want to **** something? The strong man saved me just now. To express my gratitude, the strong man should not go to the **** shop, just give it to me. , I will give a high price to the strong man." Zheng Steward looked like he would repay his kindness.

"Which, which, yes, when the road is injustice, draw your sword to help. This is what my father taught me since I was a child. Is it true what you said about paying a high price?" Liu Dadao's previous sentence was still righteous, but the latter sentence changed tasted.

"Of course. My old Zheng is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and this is what a strong man wants to be?" Zheng Steward asked solemnly.

"Yes, yes." Liu Dadao nodded repeatedly.

"Strong man, just say a price. I, Old Zheng, will take this." Butler Zheng patted the bag in Liu Dadao's hand, felt the shoes in the bag, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said solemnly.

"Okay, Mr. Zheng is so straightforward, so I don't want to talk too much anymore. The bag shoes are passed down from my ancestors. There is a saying from my ancestors that if the family is in trouble, the bag shoes will be pawned. If it is less than twenty taels, it will be pawned." Sell. But, seeing that you, Mr. Zheng, are so forthright and interested in me, I will risk being scolded by my ancestors, ten taels of silver, and I don’t want any more." Liu Dadao patted his chest, and a soldier died for his confidant. look.

Hold

You **** up at the **** shop before you dared to ask for 1 tael of silver! 10 taels of silver, are your shoes made of silver thread? !

Steward Zheng almost couldn't help spitting Liu Dadao, but thinking of Zhao Daying's explanation, he still held back his anger, put on an ugly smile, and reluctantly took out ten taels of silver, and took out this burden. The smelly shoes were bought.

After getting the package, Steward Zheng trotted all the way back to the Zhao Mansion in Beibingmasi Hutong without saying a word, and went to report the good news to Zhao Daying.

"Really got it?!" Zhao Daying, who was still on the wine table, was overjoyed after hearing the words.

"What the master told me, I have to do my best to complete it. Look, master, this is the bag shoe." Steward Zheng presented the bag to Zhao Daying as if offering a treasure.

"Okay, okay, okay." Zhao Daying was very happy, and said three good words in a row. As long as he got the shoes, it would be useless even if Zhu Pingan caught those trash. What evidence does Zhu Pingan have to prove that those **** are soldiers under Lao Tzu's battalion? !

Excited, Zhao Daying took the bag, opened it, and took out a shoe.

vomit

Zhao Daying almost vomited out the overnight meal, and other civil and military officials at the banquet were also pale and weak in limbs.

"Fuck! These are the shoes you **** worked hard to get?! You are playing me!"

Zhao Daying looked at the patched rag shoes in his hand, furious, and pressed Steward Zheng's face with one hand, unable to remove it.

These bag shoes are all patched old shoes, none of them are blue cloth boots from the military camp! It was obvious that someone had played tricks on him. Thinking about Zhu Ping'an's meaningful smile before leaving, Zhao Daying's blood rushed to his head instantly.

"Zhu Ping'an, I am at odds with you!"

After a while, Zhao Daying roared, breaking the tranquility of Beibingmasi Hutong.
