Chapter 60: Entering the Trap (Part 1)

  Although he didn't see clearly what the object was, the green color unique to jade, Nie Tianbao and Zhao Zhanggui would never mistake it. When Qin Feng lifted the yellow silk cloth, even the edges of the silk were reflected with a lush green color.

  "That's right, it's jadeite. What about it?"

  Qin Feng was pressed onto the chair by Nie Tianbao, feeling a bit uncomfortable, he raised his head and glanced at the glass cabinet beside him, with a look of disdain on his face, saying: "You're still selling jade stones, what kind of broken trinkets are these?"

  "Hey kid, can you speak human language? The jade in our 'Yu Shi Zhai' is the best in the whole city!"

  After hearing Qin Feng's words, Zhou Bing's eyes widened. He had been beaten earlier and was thinking in his heart whether to wait for this kid to leave the house and then find a few younger brothers to beat him up together.

  "Damn it, I think you little brat still needs a beating!"

  Qin Feng perfectly portrayed the coquettish and charming girl, not only exercising her mouth but also standing up with her body, stiffening her neck as if she was about to confront Zhou Bing.

  Nie Tianbao, who was about to make a move with Qin Feng, was suddenly pulled back by a hand. He turned around and slapped the person heavily, scolding: "Zhou Bing, get out of here! The farther you go, the better!"

  "Uncle Nie, you......you......"

  Zhou Bing obviously didn't expect Nie Tianbao to blow up at him, but after seeing Nie Tianbao's cold and gloomy eyes, he didn't dare say another word, shrinking his neck and slinking out of the antique shop.

  "You're really blind to have made friends with someone like him."

  After Hei Wu Bing left, Qin Feng couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude, a smug expression appearing on his face.

  "Cough cough, Brother Ma, it's because I didn't discipline him strictly enough, sorry about that."

  Although the contact time was not long, Nie Tianbao also saw that the young man in front of him was a bit of a handful. He didn't respond to the conversation and directly said: "Ma brothers, you're looking for a pawnshop, aren't you thinking of pawning the jade in your pocket?"

  "What's it to you?"

  Qin Feng's neck stiffened, and he grumbled in a bad mood: "It's not like I lost a lot of money in Macau, why did they freeze all my cards? I'll sell this thing later and see if the old man will regret it or not."

  "Macau, lost money?"

  Nie Tianbao seemed to understand something, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic. "I'm telling you, Ma brother, what pawnshops are there now? It's not before liberation, how can the country allow private pawnshops? And even if there are pawnshops, you need to provide invoices for pawning things!"

  Nie Tianbao is not deceiving Qin Feng, although there were rumors that the country intended to open up personal pawnbroking business, but the opposing voices are also loud, and so far there has been no follow-up.

  "Grandma's, what makes Macau that place have it?" Qin Feng stood up and said: "If not, then forget it, nothing to say to you guys, I'm leaving!"

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Ma brother, what are you planning to pawn? Tell Old Nie about it, maybe I can help out." Nie Tianbao was truly at a loss for words in his heart, he had never seen such a foolish young man before.

  "You? You look like a sly merchant, what do you have to say to me?" Qin Feng stopped in his tracks, looking at Nie Tianbao with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity, but the words that came out made Nie Tianbao's teeth ache.

  "Ma brothers, you can't say that. My old Ni is a big shot in the Shishi business community, and he's absolutely fair in his dealings. If you don't believe me, go ask around!"

  Nie Tianbao has patted his chest for the second time today, he has never seen such a troublesome kid, it's simply like water and fire can't be mixed together.

  "Really?" Qin Feng knew he was about to overact, so he took out a yellow silk cloth from his pocket and said: "Then take a look, how much do you think this thing is worth?"

  "It's all right, little brother, just put things on the tea table."

  When Nie Tianbao reached out to take the silk fabric, Zhao Zhuang's hastily coughed, this "collision" term originated from the antique shop, he was afraid that the kid would accidentally drop and break the item, then turn around and cause trouble for the antique store.

  Qin Feng pretended not to understand what Zhao Zhuang said, and casually placed the thing on the tea table. Nie Tianbao and Zhao Zhuang hurried over and carefully opened the layers of silk fabric that had been wrapped several times.

  "What... what grade of jade is this?"

  When the pair of earrings appeared in front of Nie Tian and Zhao, the two were instantly stunned. The almost transparent water, deep and rich green, all showed a kind of grandeur and luxury.

  "Could... could this be the legendary Emperor Green?"

  Nie Tianbao and Zhao Zhanggui exchanged a glance, but neither of them said anything. Qin Feng's words earlier were not wrong about them, to say that these two men are indeed a pair of cunning businessmen.

  Qin Feng curled his lip, putting on a spoiled brat's expression, and said disdainfully: "Who knows what grade it is? The old man treasures it like a precious thing, but it can't be eaten or drunk. What's the use of it?"

  "Brother Ma, do you smoke?"

  Nie Tianbao gave Zhao Zhanggui a wink, then took out a pack of Red Tower Mountain and said: "Ma brothers, this thing is your family heirloom, right? If you sell it, aren't you afraid that the adults in your family will beat you? I think it's better for you to send it back..."

  As soon as Nie Tian saw the emerald earrings, he was moved. For now, it was just a thought to trick Qin Feng, and if Qin's family background was really deep, he wouldn't dare to take this thing either.

  Taking the cigarette handed over by Nie Tianbao, Qin Feng's neck twisted and he raised his head, saying: "Who dares to hit me? The old horse family only has one descendant, I am the only one. If anyone dares to touch my finger, I will make them extinct. Don't mention this broken thing, even if I burn down the house of my family, what can they do about it..."

  Seemingly stimulated by Nie Tianbao's words, Qin Feng's words also increased, and he poured out the ins and outs of the matter.

  "Seems like they are remnants of the Qing dynasty or something, now there should still be people in their family holding official positions, otherwise they wouldn't be so arrogant."

  After a while, Nie Tianbao heard some clues from Qin Feng's words. The young man in front of him was called "Ma Zibian".

  According to "Ma Zi Bian", he was originally a member of the Qing imperial family with the surname Aixinjueluo, but after the "Minxue Incident" in Jiajing's reign, his ancestors were convicted and exiled to Shengjing, where one branch changed their surname to Ma.

  However, the camel that starved to death is bigger than a horse. Several decades after Jiajing's death, the ancestors of "Mazi Bian" later established a relationship with Cixi and returned to Beijing, and even became very influential. After liberation, they did not suffer much, and their uncle is now a high-ranking official in a certain ministry.

  As for the earrings that Qin Feng took out, they were a pair of jewelry from Empress Dowager Cixi's collection, one of "Ma Zi Bian" grandfather's most treasured possessions.

  And "Ma Zi Bian" appeared in Shi City, it was because he followed a friend to play, and stole his grandfather's treasure, because this thing is not easy to sell in the capital, many people know its origin.

  "Ma brother, this thing is quite valuable, if your grandfather finds out you sold it, he'll definitely break your legs!"

  After hearing the words "horse edge", Nie Tianbao was somewhat undecided, he had a family and a mouth to feed, if he bought this earring and the other party came to his door, it would be really hard to resolve.

  "How much does this thing cost?"

  "Ma Zi Bian's" eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand from his neck to pull out a completely green jade pendant. He opened his mouth and said: "There are many old men with this thing, I'm afraid of selling a few? Ah, I say, how much is this thing worth?"

  "Wow, this... is this Maitreya Buddha also made of jade? Can I take a look?"

  When Nie Tianbao saw the pendant on Ma Zibian's neck, his eyes widened instantly. The Maitreya Buddha pendant was as big as a baby's palm and its quality was absolutely not inferior to that pair of earrings.

  "Ma Zi Bian" somewhat reluctantly took down the pendant and said: "The old man said it was jade, I don't know either, be careful not to break it, I've been wearing this thing for several years."

  "Where can I get one? It's broken, old Nai, I'll compensate you."

  Nie Tianbao spoke loudly, but his movements were extremely gentle. He was also considered to be one of the people who had opened their eyes in Myanmar, the producing area of jadeite, and had seen many top-notch materials, but it seemed that none of them could compare to the two objects in front of him.
