The 69th day of being eavesdropped on
He Fei was very angry about this matter and ordered wine during the meal.
Gu Jinshui was eating mutton soup steamed buns and listened to He Fei complaining. He ate a bowl. A man came in from outside. He was tall and strong, wearing a brand new military coat. He ordered two bowls of mutton and occupied the entire table opposite.
"Did you hear what I said? That An Yi is such a jerk. He took people to shovel the land and woke me up. Why did he bring Song Jianshe and his gang with him? I lost the bronze mirror."
He Fei was full of anger. Seeing Gu Jinshui distracted, he became more angry.
Gu Jinshui waved at He Fei and raised his chin towards the man who was eating mutton opposite him, "Don't talk. Don't you just want the good stuff?"
"Why, do you know this guy? Does he have the good stuff?"
He Fei suddenly became excited when he heard that there was a good stuff. He was a little sober. Gu Jinshui rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm not sure, but at least it's better than us going out and bumping around now."
He Fei knew that Gu Jinshui was not a boastful person. Since he said that, there must be a reason. So he whispered, "Then what do you want? I'll listen to you."
He acted like an honest and obedient person.
Gu Jinshui didn't take it to heart, but said: "This man has some things to say. I know him, but he may not know me. Let's talk to him for a while and find out the details first."
"Okay." He Fei nodded repeatedly.
Gu Jinshui whispered a few words to Shanhu.
Shanhu nodded, picked up the bowl and poured the remaining mutton soup into the bowl, wiped his mouth and went out.
When he went out, the man at the door looked up at him, and lowered his head when he saw that it was a stranger.
He Fei was still wondering what was going on, but seeing Gu Jinshui lowering his head to eat, he didn't ask any more.
After a while, the man went out after eating, and Gu Jinshui immediately took He Fei to follow him.
This was the first time He Fei did a stalking job, so he was a little hesitant. Gu Jinshui smiled and said, "Why, are you nervous?"
"Who said I was nervous? I was afraid of losing the person."
He Fei said while staring at the back of the man in front of him.
He saw that the man in front of him walked a few steps faster and hurried to catch up.
Gu Jinshui held him back, "Don't worry, there are people watching us in front, we won't lose the person."
"Shan, Shanhu?" He Fei reacted this time. He patted his head and said, "No wonder you let Shanhu go out first, so this is what you were thinking!"
He Fei looked him up and down, "Okay, I am completely convinced by you."
They followed for a while, all the way from the mutton shop, and He Fei found something wrong as they walked. Why did this place seem familiar?
Before He Fei could figure it out, the man in front suddenly turned into an alley. He Fei hurried to catch up with him. Before Gu Jinshui could even shout, the man had already entered the alley. After a while, a cry of pain came from the alley.
Gu Jinshui then walked into the alley slowly.
In the alley, the man clenched his fists. He Fei had been punched and was lying on the ground with his hands covering his eyes. When he saw Gu Jinshui coming, he immediately shouted as if he had seen a savior, "Brother Gu, help me!"
"Are you the two who followed me?"
The man twisted his neck and stared at Gu Jinshui with a sneer on his face, "You are so brave to follow me with your small body!"
"Don't you think I look familiar?" Gu Jinshui was not in a hurry. He clearly saw Shanhu climbing over the wall of the alley behind him, but he seemed not to see it, and his expression did not change at all.
The man was stunned and looked Gu Jinshui up and down.
He frowned, "You are..."
"Do you remember that idiot?" Gu Jinshui raised his chin.
The man reacted immediately. He was panicked at first, and then he saw that Gu Jinshui was alone and the He Fei lying on the ground didn't count at all, so he sneered and said, "Why, you want to get your money back? I remember that I didn't sell my things to you."
"Oh, you misunderstood, I didn't come here for money, I came for the snuff bottle."
Gu Jinshui said.
Shanhu had already tiptoed towards the man.
But the man didn't notice at all, he even laughed out loud: "You want a snuff bottle, that's easy, I'll make it for you later!"
"You know I want a first-class product. The fake is so realistic, it can only be because there is a real one to compare with. If you are willing to sell the real one to me, the price is negotiable."
Gu Jinshui raised his hand and said.
The man laughed, "You are smart, but you have found the wrong person if you want the real thing. Don't say I don't have such a good thing. Even if I do, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, he found a shadow on the ground. He reacted quickly and tried to turn around, but was strangled by Shanhu's arm.
The man didn't have time to struggle after the throat lock was made. He grabbed Shanhu's arm with both hands, and his neck made a creaking sound.
"Let go, let go..."
He Fei looked at the man who was so arrogant just now, and was strangled by Shanhu like a chicken in the blink of an eye. His jaw dropped.
He covered his eyes and pointed at the man, saying, "Don't let go. This guy is selling fakes. Beating him is like enforcing justice."
Gu Jinshui didn't have such high moral qualities. How could he fight against fakes in the antique business?
He looked at the man and said, "Don't fight. My brother used to learn wrestling from Huihui. If you are willing to tell us where the thing is, we will let you go and give you ten yuan to scare you. If you don't want to, hehe..."
Gu Jinshui's smile was so sinister, and Shanhu cooperated to tighten his arms.
The man immediately gave in and nodded and blinked.
Gu Jinshui gave Shanhu a look, and as soon as Shanhu let go, the man immediately rushed forward and ran headfirst into He Fei, shouting, "Help!"
He Fei, the little fat boy, had just been watching the man's jokes, and never expected that the retribution would come so quickly. He was hit in the stomach with his head, and his eyes almost rolled over.
"Who is it? Who dares to go wild on my territory?"
A man ran out of the old house next door, holding a mountain axe in his hand.
Gu Jinshui realized that the voice was somewhat familiar, and then he heard the man shouting, "An Yi, help, someone wants to kill your cousin."
An Yi held an axe in his hand, looked at the man, and then looked at Gu Jinshui and the other two in the alley behind the man. He gradually put down his axe and dropped the cigarette in his mouth to the ground, "Damn it, what are you doing?"
...
A quarter of an hour later, everyone entered An Yi's house to drink tea and apply medicine.
The man, An Xin, was not seriously injured, but looked serious. On the contrary, He Fei was hit by a punch and a headbutt. An Yi went into the house and took medicinal wine to wipe his body, but he was still wiping his tears and cursing.
"Alright, stop cursing. His grandfather is also my grandfather."
An Yi kicked away the broken wood on the ground and said to He Fei, "Who told you to target my brother? My brother was also injured. You are not at fault."
"It's easy to say whether you are at fault or not, but this snuff bottle needs an explanation."
Gu Jinshui smiled.
An Yi's expression froze. He looked at Gu Jinshui, cursing in his heart, and couldn't help glaring at his cousin.
An Xin shrank his neck, looking embarrassed.
He defended himself by saying, "I ran away from Beijing to deliver the goods. I didn't expect anyone to chase me."
"So this is fate."
Gu Jinshui sighed, "Before today, I didn't expect to meet you again. Tell me, this is fate?"
Fate, An Xin wanted to curse, but when he saw Gu Jinshui's smile, he felt scared. This man is definitely an old fox. Since he was caught, there was nothing to say.
He said, "Don't even think about the snuff bottle. You know, the snuff bottle is more than 250 yuan. If you want money, I don't have it."
"An Yi, what do you think about this?"
Gu Jinshui ignored An Xin. Although An Xin was his cousin, Gu Jinshui knew that An Yi was the one in charge when he saw the two of them.
The matter of the snuff bottle still had to fall on him.
An Yi cursed in his heart, this guy must have known their details a long time ago.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You want a snuff bottle?"
"Yes." Gu Jinshui nodded directly.
An Yi said directly, "You pay 600, and I will give it to you, now."
"An Yi, you..." An Xin wanted to say something, but An Yi interrupted him, "Don't say it, you are caught selling fakes and are chased home, what else can we say."
An Yi looked at Gu Jinshui and said, "I just hope you can leave a way for my brother and don't let this matter out."
An Xin opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Jinshui was too lazy to care about what was going on here, and nodded, "This matter will stop with me."
"Okay." An Yi went into the back room.
He Fei looked at An Xin, and then at the things in the house. The house was a mess, with shelves on all four walls, filled with a lot of miscellaneous things, such as glue, mud, and even pig blood and lard.
It made people wonder what these things were used for.
"I know, you are the An family!"
He Fei suddenly realized, patting his thigh and saying. An Yi just came in with something, and heard this, looking a little embarrassed, saying: "The things are here, I'll go back to get the money from you."
"Okay, don't worry about us, we have nothing to worry about."
Gu Jinshui agreed, tugged at He Fei's sleeve, stood up and said: "We came in a hurry today and didn't bring anything, don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
An Yi pulled the corner of his lips, his expression was so ugly.
Obviously, they were not welcome.
Gu Jinshui could understand. He pulled the excited He Fei and Shan Hu out. He Fei complained in a low voice, "Why don't you let me ask if they are the An family?"
"Which An family?" Gu Jinshui opened the cloth wrapped around the snuff bottle and observed it carefully. This amber snuff bottle was so exquisite, with a golden outer body, delicate texture, and ingenious carvings. It was like a temple in a snail shell.
The fake one looked okay, but if it was placed next to the real one, even an amateur could see the problem.
"Wow, great stuff, no wonder An Yi is as happy as if his father has died."
He Fei praised first, then introduced: "The An family has made a fortune by making counterfeit goods since the Qing Dynasty. Their craftsmanship is so delicate that even the big managers of the glass factory may not be able to see the problem. During the Republic of China, it seems that they offended a military commander, and their family disappeared. I thought the An family was dead or no longer engaged in this business, but I didn't expect there are still people."
When he said this, he looked around and said in a low voice: "Didn't you see the things in their room? Those are the materials used for counterfeiting. I can guarantee that they must have a lot of counterfeit goods!"
