Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 136: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 18

Seeing Wu Sanxing looking at the bronze fish so fascinatedly, Wu Xie couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Uncle San, do you know this bronze fish?"

Wu Sansheng nodded and said softly.

"This bronze fish is called the Snake Eyebrow Bronze Fish. There are some old stories that you young people should know. Call Yu'er and ask her to come over in the evening."

"Okay, I'll contact her right away."

As Wu Xie spoke, he took out his cell phone and dialed Qi Yu's number.

Soon Qi Yu's voice came from the phone.

"Brother, do you have any new discoveries?"

Wu Xie: "I guess so. Come to Uncle San's shop later. Uncle San has something to tell us."

Qi Yu: "Then let's have dinner together. I'll ask Louwailou to deliver the food."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Yu'er." Wu Xie said with a smile.

Not long after, Qi Yu arrived at Wu Sansheng's shop.

"Uncle San, what's going on? It's so mysterious." Qi Yu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.

Wu Sansheng gestured for them to sit down and said with a smile.

"Wu Xie, do you want to know about the Snake-browed Bronze Fish? This Snake-browed Bronze Fish involves some grievances of the previous generation. Yu'er, come and listen."

So Wu Sansheng told them about the Old Nine Gates.

The Old Nine Gates refers to nine families that rob tombs. They are divided into the upper three gates, the middle three gates, and the lower three gates. The Wu family and the Chen family are both among the Old Nine Gates. In the past, there was not much contact between the nine gates, and there was only one joint tomb-robbing operation. Wu Xie's grandfather left home for three years during this operation, and he was haggard when he came back. Wu Sanxing was once full of curiosity about this, but he could not find anything. And no one in the Old Nine Gates mentioned the joint tomb-robbing incident again.

Wu Sanxing revealed to the two people with a serious expression: "The only person who knew about this matter back then is the former Third Miss of the Huo family, who is now Mrs. Huo. As far as I know, the Huo family is now engaged in antique business in the capital."

Hearing this, Wu Xie expressed his opinion without hesitation.

"Uncle San, I want to go to Beijing to see Old Madam Huo."

"Wu Xie, you are still too naive! It is not easy to meet Mrs. Huo. Even if you meet her, she may not tell you what she knows."

What Qi Yu didn't expect was that Wu Sanxing would actually plot against Wu Xie in this way, making him, a silly boy, face those old foxes.

At this moment, she also understood why Wu Sansheng called her here. This was a rhythm to let her join the game.

Joining the game means being able to stir up trouble and get something big to eat, so she is willing to join.

"Godfather, I will go with my brother. If Mrs. Huo is showing off, I will let her see what it means to be so pretentious."

After hearing Qi Yu's words, a smile appeared on Wu Sansheng's face, and the look he gave Wu Xie became much gentler.

"In that case, you should pack up and leave tomorrow." Wu Sanxing said to Qi Yu and Wu Xie.

Wu Xie and Qi Yu looked at each other and smiled, "Okay, Third Uncle."

The next day, Wu Xie drove Qi Yu to Beijing's Panjiayuan Market, the most popular antique market in the country.

Through the address left by Fatty Wang, the two quickly found Fatty Wang's shop.

At this moment, the plump man was discussing a business deal with a customer. However, Fatty Wang had no intention of purchasing the bronze artifact held by the customer.

At this time, Wu Xie and Qi Yu calmly walked aside, pretending that they did not know each other. They expressed their interest in the customer's item and asked to take a look.

After Qi Yu carefully examined the bronze artifact, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This is a very well-preserved bronze cup from the Shang Dynasty!"

Then, without hesitation, she described the various characteristics and related information mentioned above one by one.

Hearing this, Fatty Wang, who was originally hesitant, suddenly became energetic.

When he learned that this bronze cup had great potential for appreciation, he immediately became generous, offered 300,000 yuan on the spot, and decisively took this precious antique into his pocket.

After the customer left, Fatty Wang was still worried and restless. He felt uneasy all the time and was very worried that he would lose money on the bronze wine vessel he had just bought.

Qi Yu saw the fat man's worried face, so he comforted him: "Don't worry! To tell you the truth, that is not a bronze cup at all. Its real name is Jiao, and it is a utensil used to warm wine during the Shang Dynasty."

After hearing this, Fatty Wang's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "Really? This thing is so valuable?"

Qi Yu nodded and answered affirmatively: "Of course it is real! This kind of horn is a very rare cultural relic, and its market value can reach at least one million!"

Fatty Wang was so excited that he started dancing and shouting, "I really made a fortune! I'm really lucky this time!"

He said with tears of gratitude: "Thanks to you, Master Qi! If you hadn't told me this, I would have thought I had made a loss! When I sell it, I will definitely treat you to a feast!"

Qi Yu said that these were all small matters and not to be taken seriously.

However, at this moment, Fatty Wang was already immersed in joy and couldn't extricate himself, as if he had seen piles of money flying towards him...

After a while, Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie who was drinking tea and teased with a smile.

"Little naive, why did you think of bringing Master Qi to my store?"

Wu Xie put down his teacup and looked at Fatty Wang, "Yu'er and I are going to visit Old Madam Huo, and we'll come to see you while we're at it."

After hearing this, Fatty Wang changed his mind and decided to run errands for Wu Xie and Qi Yu, perhaps to help him become familiar to those old families and expand his network.

"Since we are in Beijing, I have to do my best to be a good host. But since you have plenty of money, I can only serve as a guide for you."

"By the way, where do you live now?"

"Of course we're staying at the Seventeenth Inn. Yu'er and I are shareholders of the Seventeenth Inn."

Wu Xie was showing off in a pretentious manner.

"Can I come with you then?"

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie and Qi Yu with full anticipation.

"You are our guide. Where do you want to go if you don't come with us?" Wu Xie said with a smile. He knew what Fatty Wang was planning, but more friends mean more paths, and Fatty Wang has a wide network of contacts, so maybe he can be of help.

The three of them went to the Seventeenth Inn together. Along the way, Fatty Wang kept telling jokes, making everyone laugh.

Arriving at the inn, Wu Xie and Qi Yu discussed the next plan, while Fatty Wang actively offered suggestions.

"I think we can send a visiting card to the Huo family first, so that the younger generation can visit friends and her family or something." Fatty Wang suggested.

"That's a good idea." Qi Yu nodded in agreement, "Then follow the rules and hand in a visiting card to meet your friend."

"Sister, are you sure Huo Xiuxiu will meet us, listen to us, and take us to see Mrs. Huo?"

Wu Xie looked at Qi Yu with suspicion.

When they were little, they beat people up badly and abused them in every way. Huo Xiuxiu was stupid enough to choose to meet them.

"If she doesn't want to see him, I have other ways to make her have to see him."

Qi Yu said this indifferently, calmly playing Tetris on his phone.

Wu Xie turned his head and saw that his good sister was actually playing games.
