Chapter 14 Tea House
This is a standard classical Chinese teahouse. The decoration not only highlights the concept of tea, but also integrates cultural elements into it.Pond fish, pink lotus, and old shiny furniture immediately make people dream about something out of this world.This old Mr. Lin is also an elegant person, and he actually invited someone to sing the famous Suzhou Pingtan upstairs.Stepping into the teahouse, the soft and sweet Wu Yin and Sanxian sounds rippling in it, quite charming.

If Lin Zhongxiu, who was walking in front, put on a cheongsam, Fan Jiannan felt as if he had completely stepped into the history of Jiangnan.

After entering the teahouse, Lin Zhongxiu put away the umbrella, glanced coldly behind Fan Jiannan and said, "You go up alone, and the rest wait downstairs." Of course, the other people she was referring to were Wu Banxian and Feng Yuan .Wu Banxian has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and has good eyesight. He has long seen that these people are unusual, so of course he dare not object.But how could Miss Feng endure such a cold reception?Just when she couldn't help but want to argue, the people upstairs said: "Axiu, let them all come up, this matter has something to do with them."

Lin Zhongxiu responded without saying anything, turned around and sat down gracefully at the table downstairs.It didn't prevent the three of them from going upstairs, nor did they mean to go upstairs with them.

Fan Jiannan shrugged at her, and staggered upstairs, Wu Banxian and Feng Yuan followed behind him.The three walked slowly up the carved wooden stairs to the second floor.I probably also said hello in advance, there is not even a service lady upstairs in the huge building.It was cleaned up very cleanly, and all the extra tables and chairs were removed.There is only one table in the middle, which is equipped with a whole set of tea sets and various snacks.There are four chairs, but there is not even a tea customer.

The Pingtan entertainers performing are a man and a woman. The woman is in her 40s and wears a cheongsam; the man seems to be older and wears a traditional gown.Each holds a pipa and a small three-stringed lute and plays and sings, with correct accents and vivid expressions.But there was no one at the table opposite them.This somewhat surprised the three people who had just gone upstairs. What about Mr. Lin who invited them?Who was the person who talked to Lin Zhongxiu just now?Wu Banxian and Feng Yuan looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

Fan Jiannan didn't care, he pulled a chair and sat down.Picking up the purple sand teapot on the table and pouring himself a cup of tea, he took a deep breath and said, "Sure enough, you still need to use Yixing purple sand teapot to make Biluochun."

He took a sip of tea and put down the cup.He grabbed another handful of peanuts and melon seeds from the table, and drank tea while watching the performance, shaking his head in a leisurely manner.It seemed that he completely forgot about the old Mr. Lin who invited him to drink tea, and couldn't help applauding when he heard the beauty.Miss Feng Yuan was not to be outdone, she sat down and began to drink tea and eat melon seeds, and even forcibly pulled Wu Banxian to sit down.

Soon a Tanci was sung, and the two actors stood up to pay their respects.Fan Jiannan immediately clapped his hands, stood up and gave up his seat, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin is very elegant."

The man playing the sanxian smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Hehe, it's a moment of itch. Show your shame, show your shame." Only then did Wu Banxian and Feng Yuan realize that the man in the long gown was the old Mr. Lin who invited them, but this man didn't seem to be a big deal. old.Moreover, even Wu Banxian, who has seen countless people, has never seen such a good-looking man.

If an elderly man can still be called good-looking, it can be seen that this man was definitely a handsome man when he was young.Mr. Lin smiled and sat beside Fan Jiannan, and the middle-aged woman in a cheongsam wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.

"With this Sanxian, you can use the melody to invigorate the earth, and completely isolate the entire teahouse from the Fengshui pattern of this block. If such a magical Fengshui manipulation technique is still called a shame, the people in the world Does Feng Shui Kanyu still have face?" Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin is too modest."

"Hehe, I've heard for a long time that a master of Yi Xue was born recently, but I didn't expect that Mr. Fan would be so young. Such an achievement at this age already makes me ashamed?" Old Mr. Lin waved his hand slightly.

"Are we here to flatter each other today?" Fan Jiannan pretended to be surprised.

"Of course not. I asked Mr. Fan to come here today to apologize in person. Luo Xiao and others have no national laws and regulations, and use Fengshui to harm others without authorization. I will deal with them according to the regulations. I, Lin Ruogu, are the head of Kanyu Sect. I am not strict with the law. I should also apologize to Mr. Fan face to face. I don't know, is Mr. Fan satisfied?" Mr. Lin clasped his fists and said.

He spoke so seriously, and his attitude was so sincere, which actually made Fan Jiannan feel embarrassed.After all, the old man is very old, and he still apologizes to you with a smile, so you can't refuse to forgive him, can you?He could only nod his head and said, "Mr. Lin is serious. Even the person involved, Mr. Feng, is unwilling to pursue this matter. How can I, an outsider, hold on to it?"

"Okay! Young people are happy. Then, let's expose this matter. Now let's talk about the second matter!" Mr. Lin changed the subject, his eyes as bright as night stars looked directly at Fan Jiannan's face, and said nothing. Straightforwardly: "The piece of Kyushu Dragon Vein Pendant that you returned a few days ago - it's a fake."

"What?!" Fan Jiannan stood up suddenly, with an incredulous expression on his face, "This is absolutely impossible! I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Feng handed the jade pendant to Ms. Lin. Moreover, Ms. Lin also confirmed it on the spot. How could there be such a thing?" Fake?"

"Please sit down, this is what I want to ask you to confirm." Mr. Lin said calmly, "This jade pendant is of great significance to our sect, and I must find it. So I hope you can help me recall what happened at that time." scene."

Fan Jiannan sat down slowly, and recalled carefully: "When I arrived at the hotel, Ms. Lin went in one step ahead of me. She was the first to mention this matter, so I asked Mr. Feng to return the jade pendant to her. Although I stood a little It was far away, so I didn't look carefully. But Ms. Lin did look at it and confirmed it. Could it be that after she left the hotel, the jade pendant was tampered with?"

"No! Axiu was brought up by me. I am very familiar with her character, and she is very cautious. Besides, with Luo Xiao and others accompanying her, basically no one can manipulate her." Mr. Lin said firmly: " As for her self-stealing, it is even more impossible to change the bag by herself. Because this jade pendant is of great importance, Luo Xiao and others have been by her side all the time."

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Since it is claimed to be fake, can Mr. Lin show me the fake jade pendant?"

Mr. Lin slowly took out the yellow-orange Hetian jade pendant from the skirt of his gown, pushed it to him and said, "Although it is carved with good Hetian topaz and the carving is delicate enough, it is not the original piece at all. .”

As soon as Fan Jiannan's hand touched the jade pendant, he immediately retracted it. He shook his head again and again, his face full of astonishment, "This... this... is indeed not the original one. Although the shape and material are the same, the physical properties of this thing are worlds apart. The difference." The feeling of being as vast as the ground and as calm as mountains and rivers on the original jade pendant is completely gone.

"I don't look any different?" Feng Yuan took the jade pendant, flipped through it for a long time, frowned, "I've worn it for a long time since my uncle gave it to me, but I really can't see any difference."

Fan Jiannan shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's not about the appearance, and what they want is not a piece of jade that has a flashy appearance. But Mr. Lin, I can guarantee that the jade pendant Miss Lin got at that time is absolutely real. Mr. Lin just An ordinary businessman, he doesn't want to get involved in the storm of the magician, so he has no reason to show a fake. Moreover, if he shows a fake, he will definitely be spotted on the spot. After all, Ms. Lin is not an ordinary person. It’s a master who is well versed in techniques.”

Mr. Lin said indifferently, "I also believe that after Mr. Feng took it out, the jade pendant that Axiu first saw and recognized was indeed real, and she would usually not make mistakes in such things. Then there is only one possibility left. When she was fighting with you in the hotel, she was dropped."

"I see, you doubt me." The expression on Fan Jiannan's face gradually turned into a wry smile.

"Yes, your behavior is hard to avoid suspicion. It was agreed to return the jade pendant, but you sealed the exit with a secret technique after returning the jade pendant. That is to say, the hotel room at that time was just like ours now, Completely isolated from the outside world. You did not hesitate to fight her and forced Axiu to hand over the jade pendant. Although it was not successful, I have reason to believe that you secretly transferred the bag." Mr. Lin said slowly: "After all, the hotel at that time In the box, only you can do it."

Fan Jiannan didn't speak, he picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip of the tea ceremony, "Why would I do this?"

"I don't know, this is what makes me feel strange." Mr. Lin frowned and muttered, "Since you have persuaded Mr. Feng to return the jade pendant, why did you fight with Axiu and make such a big commotion? I can't figure it out either. .”

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "Okay! Let me tell you! Because earlier, right after we made an appointment to meet, I was kidnapped by you. I was locked in a basement for a whole day. Although I used mana to destroy The five-element flag stuck at the door, and escaped by myself. Do you think I should just keep silent, watch you come over like nothing happened, and take the jade pendant as a matter of course? Mr. Lin, even clay figurines have three points Fiery, right?"

"You were kidnapped?" Mr. Lin asked in surprise. "Not only was he kidnapped, but my people did it. What evidence do you have?"

"I testified for him, and I was also tied up at that time." Feng Yuan said angrily. "It's been closed for a whole day. If we didn't manage to escape, I'm afraid we would starve to death in that abandoned basement."

Fan Jiannan said indifferently, "Miss Feng can be regarded as the witness, and as for the physical evidence, it is the Fengshui array trapping the dragon. Use the five-color flag to replace the five elements to enter the nine-star game, and lock the sixteen directions. I am afraid that non-gemologists can't set up such an array?"

"Trapped Dragon? Impossible!" Mr. Lin shook his head in surprise, "This is absolutely impossible! No, there must be something wrong! My people will never do this! Even if they want to do it, few people have it Such strength."
