At this time, the old man came over. He stared at Li Mo's face with doubtful eyes, and then asked, "May I ask if your surname is Li?"
"My name is Li Mo."
Li Mo smiled.
"Oh." The old man suddenly exclaimed, and then stretched out his hands towards him, "Professor Li, nice to meet you, nice to meet you. I really didn't expect you to come to the store, and the store suddenly became full of glory."
As if seeing his idol, the old man held his hand without letting go.
"What do you call the old gentleman?"
"My surname is Hu, just call me Lao Hu."
"Hello, Boss Hu."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Boss Hu introduced his granddaughter Cao Jingjing.
"Professor Li, please go to the second floor seat."
Boss Hu was so enthusiastic that Li Mo was too embarrassed to refuse and followed him to the second floor. The second floor is mainly a private room, which is probably used as an office for negotiating with important customers, or for entertaining friends to have tea together.
"Jingjing, take out the top-grade three-leaf tooth collected by grandpa and soak it in it."
"Okay grandpa."
"Boss Hu also likes Sanye Ya?"
"It's hard to distinguish the good from bad ones like Biluochun, Longjing, Tieguanyin, etc. on the market now, so I have collected some trefoil teeth, which are not easy to snatch."
"If Boss Hu likes to drink, he can just get it from my master. It's not that troublesome."
Boss Hu didn't understand what he meant.
"Boss Hu, this Sanye Ya was developed by my boss, Mr. Li Mo. If you like to drink it, it's okay to have a one-pound quota every year."
Chen Xiaojun explained from the side.
Boss Hu was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter: "I admire you, I admire you, I really see an expert today."
"Professor Li, do you have any important business coming to Luo City this time? I'm considered an old man here, so it's okay to get some news."
"Then I'll be honest, has Boss Hu ever heard of Zhou Jiadong?"
"Zhou Jiadong?" The smile on Boss Hu's face gradually disappeared, and he became more solemn, "Professor Li, I wonder what you want to ask about him? Let me tell you the truth, most people really don't know Zhou Jiadong, but I do You know, that person is not a kind person and should not be contacted easily."
Cao Jingjing had already brewed the tea. Li Mo reached out and took the teapot and said with a smile, "I'll pour the tea."
"Boss Hu doesn't know yet, but Zhou Jiadong has committed a crime and will never have the chance to show up again in this life."
"Caught?" Boss Hu was stunned for a moment before he breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't matter if you arrest him, that person may have a human life in his hands."
"He is the leader of a tomb-robbing gang, and it is inevitable that someone will die in his hands."
Boss Hu took a sip of tea and then said slowly: "It seems that the official has already found out the details of that person. This person is not ordinary. Rumors say that he has an astonishing number of cultural relics and antiques in his hands, all from various major cities." It was stolen from the tomb. But the news has not been verified after all, so it just spreads more and more mysteriously. In addition, Zhou Jiadong is good at hiding, so there are very few flaws in his body. Anyway, I have never heard of any official action taken against him. .”
"To be honest, I came here from Kyoto this time to be commissioned by the government to find the batch of cultural relics and antiques that he had hidden. I don't have a clue yet. Is there any clues that Boss Hu can provide for reference?"
"I see."
Only then did Boss Hu understand the purpose of Li Mo's coming here. He thought for a moment and then said: "Generally speaking, if I have a batch of valuable treasures in my hands, I will definitely hide them somewhere where I can see and touch them at any time. But for a person like Zhou Jiadong, he will consider the three caves of cunning rabbits when doing things, so he is unlikely to keep an astonishing amount of treasures around him. I had a chat with a few old friends before, and I guessed that there would be something in his place of residence. Really priceless antiques appeared, but no one went in to see them, so they just made random guesses."
"Boss Hu is not talking about Fei Lu Zhai, is he?"
Boss Hu smiled and shook his head: "If Professor Li wants to find relevant clues in Feiluzhai, I'm afraid he will be disappointed."
"Appreciate further details."
Li Mo quickly poured him another cup of tea.
"Zhou Jiadong has a lot of real estate on the old street. Since Feilu Zhai is a tourist attraction, it is also a residence. But there is a larger old courtyard next to Feilu Zhai, surrounded by tall trees. The courtyard is hidden in it, and it is unknown why. People thought it was deserted, but in fact it was Zhou Jiadong's property, but no outsiders had ever entered."
Li Mo became interested, and during this wandering around, he actually got some guidance from an expert.
"Professor Li, you also know that in our industry, sometimes we will encounter some unclean people who bring things with them and want to take action. I once saw an inkstone in the hands of a little thief. It was from the mid-Qing Dynasty. Duan Inkstone, because it was in good quality, I rejected it directly. In order to prove that the inkstone was genuine, the little thief finally revealed the origin of the inkstone in desperation, which was that it was stolen from an old hospital that was considered abandoned."
"A few days later, I heard that a little thief had his hands and feet cut off. I was very scared at that time. Nine times out of ten, it was Zhou Jiadong's people who took action. Professor Li, now that Zhou Jiadong has been brought to justice, Fei Lu Zhai and You can go in and check the old courtyard next door carefully, and maybe you can actually find clues about that batch of cultural relics and antiques."
"Thank you, Boss Hu. If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid my trip would have been in vain."
"No, I just know some gossip."
Li Mo looked at the time, stood up and said with a smile: "Boss Hu, be sure to contact me when you go to Magic City later. This is my business card, please keep it."
Li Mo left him a business card, then said goodbye and left.
"Grandpa, is he really the legendary fairy-eyed Li Mo, the owner of Gu Yunxuan?"
"How's it going? How does it feel to see him in person?"
"Except for being handsome, he's just so-so."
Cao Jingjing thought for a while and replied.
"Hahaha, it's enough for a man to be considered handsome by women. Okay, bring your blind date back and let me have a look. If there is too much evil, let's end it as soon as possible. This time I can hook up with Professor Li. Relationship, I will feel more relieved when this store is in your hands from now on."
"Grandpa, I haven't agreed to take over your antique shop yet."
Li Mo and Chen Xiaojun walked out of the antique store. The latter happened to receive a call from Brown Bear, saying that the procedures had been completed and he could enter Feiluzhai for inspection at any time.
"Uncle Junior, shall we go to Feiluzhai now?"
"Go over now."
Feiluzhai is not on the antique street, but on an old street in a nearby ancient town. When they got there, Brown Bear and two other plainclothes policemen were already waiting at the door.
"Hello, Professor Li."
"Hello."
Li Mo shook hands with the two plainclothes people, then looked at the tourists waiting to enter the door and said, "Don't disturb other people."
