Baojian

Chapter 67
Jintian is one of the first three municipalities directly under the central government in China. It is located in the northern part of the North China Plain. It has risen due to water transport since ancient times. It was officially built on November 21, the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

After Tianjin City became a treaty port in 1860, many western countries set up concessions in Tianjin, and Tianjin became the frontier of opening up in northern China and the base of modern China's "Westernization Movement" movement.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Tianjin City played an important role in the political arena. Because it was only a foot away from the capital, hundreds of bureaucrats and politicians who went to the field at that time, as well as the old and young of the Qing Dynasty, took refuge in the Tianjin Concession and tried to restore it.

Therefore, in Jintian City, you can see many Chinese and Western buildings, including Western churches, and deep houses similar to Beijing courtyards. The whole city gives people a sense of profound historical heritage without losing modernity.

Not far from the Haizhu Hotel where Qin Feng and others lived, is the famous Chongren Palace Antique Street in Tianjin. This is the earliest antique trading place in Tianjin.

"Boss Feng, what are we doing? We've been wandering the streets for two days..."

It has been three days since I came to Jintian. Except for the first day when Qin Feng fell asleep, he spent the other two days wandering around the antique street.

The first day was fine, with Xie Xuan following him, but today when Xie Xuan went home, Li Tianyuan became Qin Feng's follower, which made him miserable. Walking for a day felt harder than practicing kung fu for a day.

"Yuanzi, can't you use your brain?"

Qin Feng looked helplessly at the tall and burly Li Tianyuan, pointed to the bustling crowd on Antique Street, and said, "How do you feel when you see these people?"

"Feel?"

Li Tianyuan blinked his eyes in confusion, looked at the tourists on the antique street, and said, "It's just people, they're full of idlers with nothing to do."

"Well, just like you, I really wonder why you weren't killed by someone when you were the boss?"

Qin Feng knocked on Li Tianyuan's head angrily, and said in a low voice, "Popularity means wealth. There is a lot of people turnover here, and it's a place to gather wealth. Do you really think our little money is enough?"

"Hey, Brother Feng, I know I'm stupid, so why don't I go out and play around?"

After being beaten by Qin Feng, Li Tianyuan was not angry. After staying in the correctional center for several years, he also saw clearly that when he was the boss outside, he was the boss when nothing happened. Cylinder for that person.

This is also the reason why Li Tianyuan no longer associates with those former brothers after he was released from prison. Following Qin Feng, he feels at ease, knowing that this boss who is one year younger than himself will at least not harm himself.

"Brother Feng, do you want to get another ticket here?"

After working hard for a long time, Li Tianyuan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "there are more people here than those on Shishi Antique Street, and there must be more rich people, but there are too many people, and they seem to be a bit out of touch." The venue's..."

No matter what Li Tianyuan said, he had been in the society before. After walking around for a day, he discovered many things from his own perspective that others could not observe.

That is, in this market, besides the market manager, Li Tianyuan also found that there are some sturdy young people mixed here, maintaining the order of the antique street.

"Well, you're not stupid enough, someone should be covering this place." Qin Feng nodded, but his brows were slightly frowned.

Every popular place is bound to be accompanied by petty theft. As an old-fashioned antique trading place that is almost as famous as Panjiayuan in the capital, Chongren Palace is naturally the place where all the thieves gather.

However, after these two days of wandering around, Qin Feng also noticed some clues. Those thieves mostly stole the wallets of foreign tourists, but they seldom attacked the local people who really came to Taobao to find leaks.

Yesterday, there was an old man who looked like a retired teacher, yelling that he lost his wallet. Within 10 minutes, his lost wallet was sent back to the management office, and there was not a penny missing in it.

From this, Qin Feng can judge that this antique street is occupied by a certain force, just like a tycoon who dominated one side in ancient times. If he wants to beg for food on this site, he must get the approval of this local snake.

"Brother Feng, how about...let's take down this place, with so many shops, how much protection fee do we have to charge this month?"

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Li Tianyuan's eyes lit up. His brain is not as flexible as Xie Xuan's. Apart from fighting and killing, he doesn't know what else he can do to help Qin Feng.

"Fuck, how many people can you hit with a pair of fists? Others can drown you with just one mouthful of spit!"

Qin Feng glared at Li Tianyuan angrily, lowered his voice and said, "Don't cause trouble, this is not Shishi, be careful that others will put you in a sack and sink you directly."

Qin Feng wasn't trying to scare Li Tianyuan. At the beginning, he also thought that this society was protected by the legal system, including his imprisonment, which was the embodiment of a legal society.

But since worshiping under Zaishi's sect, Qin Feng knew what the real world is.

To use an analogy, everyone understands the principle of killing for life, but after a person dies, the victim must report the case, and then the police will investigate it. This is the normal process.

However, when there is a vendetta in the Jianghu or the clean-up of the sect, the bitter masters often dare not come forward, because they need to follow the rules of the Jianghu, that is, do not get involved in public affairs.

In this way, even if some vicious cases are filed by the police, it is often difficult for them to obtain the cooperation of the family members of the deceased during the investigation process, and some even cannot find the victim, which will cause great trouble to the investigation of the case.

A lot of energy and financial resources have been spent, but many cases are still unsolved, which makes the public security system suspend many cases every year, and after a long time, it will become a death case.

Since the opening of the port in the Qing Dynasty, Jintian City has been a place where fish and dragons have mixed together. Every year, an unknown number of foreigners are thrown into the Haihe River.

With Li Tianyuan's three-legged feline skill, if he rashly affects the interests of some people, he might disappear in a few days.

"Brother Feng, can't I just listen to you from now on?" Li Tianyuan was taken aback by Qin Feng's words, and he didn't hold his head up so much when he walked.

"We don't cause trouble, and we won't be afraid of trouble..."

While talking, Qin Feng raised his head and saw a note on the outside of a shop dealing in the Four Treasures of the Study, his eyes lit up, and he walked in.

There are more than 20 bungalows in this shop. A hollow mahogany wooden cabinet is placed in the middle of the room, which divides the whole room into two parts. Calligraphy, paintings and rice paper brushes are hung on the surrounding walls.

A young man in his twenties was sitting in front of the wooden cabinet. When he heard someone coming in, he said without raising his head, "What are you buying? See for yourself, everything is [-]% off!"

Qin Feng looked at the shop, nodded secretly, and said, "Brother, I want to buy some rice paper, can you introduce it?"

"Is there no need to use rice paper for calligraphy practice at school?"

The young man came out from the inside. When he saw Qin Feng, he was still normal, but when his eyes swept over Li Tianyuan, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "My shop is ready to be transferred, you still want to buy it?" How is it? Do you want to bully people when you see my grandpa dead? "

"Bullying people?" Qin Feng was taken aback when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, I just came to buy things..."

"You...you are not from the Yuan family?" The young man fixed his eyes on Li Tianyuan, and muttered, "It's not a good thing to look like this!"

"Hey, I said kid, can he talk or not? My parents gave me this look, so it's none of my business?"

Li Tianyuan became anxious when he heard this, rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit someone, but was stopped by Qin Feng, turned around and said to the young man: "My brother has an ugly face and a good man, you can't judge a person by his appearance Bar?"

"It's fine if you're not from the Yuan family..." The young man was a little embarrassed by Qin Feng's words, "I'm sorry, just pick any of the things here, and I'll take it as my apology."

"Brother, I think the location of your shop is not bad, why do you want to sell it?"

A curious look appeared on Qin Feng's face, and he asked, "Who is the surname Yuan? Could it be that there is bullying here too, you can call the police!"

"What's the point of calling the police? Who dares to mess with the old Yuan's family in such a place where people don't care?"

Qin Feng's words seemed to arouse the hatred of the young man, and also made him ignore Qin Feng's slightly immature face, and shouted angrily: "They just hung a dead dog at my door yesterday, what's the matter with the police coming?" No, killing a dog is not against the law..."

The young man spoke in a confused way, but under Qin Feng's guidance, he finally told the whole story.

It turned out that the young man's surname was Xin, with the single name Nan. If you say that Xin Nan and Qin Feng's experiences are somewhat similar, when Shen Nan was 11 years old, his parents both died in a car accident. Fortunately, there was a grandfather with him. depend on each other.

Influenced by his grandfather, Xin Nan has been particularly interested in study antiques since he was a child. He studied in the Department of Archeology of Beijing University and just graduated this year.

But in the second month after Xinnan graduated, his grandfather passed away suddenly, leaving behind this old shop that has been in business for nearly 20 years.

In order to inherit his grandfather's last wish, Xin Nan reluctantly gave up the opportunity to enter the Institute of Archeology of Beijing University after graduation. After finishing his grandfather's funeral, he returned to the street of antiques.

But what Shen Nan didn't expect was that on the second day after the reopening of this shop named "Wen Bao Zhai", he encountered trouble.
