It’s just a small willow grove. Now that I’m here, I must go and see it.

When Liu Zhongren heard that Fang Zongtang was going, he immediately said something else.

"The willow forest in the west has been a bit uneasy lately. Let's go to the east first!"

From what Duo Ye said, Liu Zhongren is considered to be a well-known figure in the local area.

Why is even he so taboo about that place?

"Does it have anything to do with Jin Baozhai?"

Liu Zhongren didn't expect Fang Zongtang to guess it right at once, so he didn't hide it and told her directly.

"Yes, I heard that someone from Jinbaozhai stole a Ming Dynasty Xuande furnace and sold it. Xuande furnaces are very popular recently, and their value is even lower than that of blue and white porcelain."

It seems that Liu Zhongren is very concerned about Jinbaozhai.

Now that she has come to this place, she has to understand a little bit.

"I only heard that Jinbaozhai was investigated before, and then I stopped paying attention to it. What happened to Jinbaozhai?"

Liu Zhongren said, with a look of confusion: "Their reputation has been ruined, and no one wants to do business with them anymore. If their business is not checked, problems will be found sooner or later. Many people are anxious to cut ties with them."

Fang Zongtang understood.

“When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a man falls, everyone beats him.”

Liu Zhongren glanced at Fang Zongtang and continued, "The family of Jinbaozhai was not harmonious to begin with, and now that something has happened, everyone is busy with their own things. They all want to make a fortune before the shop is closed down!"

This is basic operation, and it is not uncommon to do so.

"Master Liu, please take me to the west. If I come across a Xuande furnace, I will take it directly."

Liu Zhongren learned a lot about Fang Zongtang's glorious deeds from Duo Ye, saying that the good things she donated to the country were countless.

He is willing to help people like this!

"Okay, if you're not afraid of the chaos there, I'll take you there. I'll also take a look to see if I can find any good stuff!"

Liu Zhongren packed up his things casually and took her out immediately.

Most of the items traded in the willow grove are valuable items that cannot be seen in public.

Along the way, Liu Zhongren was telling Fang Zongtang about Jinbaozhai and local transactions.

Shaanxi Province is the hometown of backpackers. It is also the place where the nobles and wealthy businessmen from the Tang and Song dynasties were buried.

In the late Song Dynasty, all the wealth moved southwards. The south had mountains and water, and many wealthy businessmen went there to build gardens. Gradually, the burial places of kings, princes, and generals also moved southwards.

Shaanxi Province was once home to many ancient capitals of dynasties, so there must be a lot of good things there. That’s how backpackers were born.

As they were talking, Liu Zhongren took her to the place.

Liu Zhongren was very well-known in the local antique world, and all the sellers knew her. When the sellers saw that she was brought by Liu Zhongren, they were also polite to her.

It’s easier to get things done in unfamiliar places if you have acquaintances!

Liu Zhongren chatted with his acquaintance for a few minutes and then began to inquire about the Xuande furnace.

She began to look at the area.

These willow trees were too thin, not even half as thick as she remembered.

The terrain is wrong too.

This was a depression, which she remembered was flat. Where the big willow tree was, it was a little higher.

Liu Zhongren came back soon.

"The Xuande furnace is at the innermost part. Coincidentally, the Wu family is also there!"

Fang Zongtang never thought that the Wu family member Liu Zhongren was talking about would be Wu Chaoyang!

Wu Chaoyang seemed surprised to see her. He lowered his head subconsciously and didn't dare to look up at her!

This made her even more certain that this person was Wu Chaoyang.
