Disregarding the law
"Senior Qin, I didn't expect you to be an expert in antiques. You're really experienced," said Feng Liuxu.
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "I've never played with antiques. I don't know much about this industry."
"You don't know much about it? That's impossible, right? " Hearing Qin Xiao say that he didn't know much about antiques, Feng Liuxu found it hard to believe. She looked at Qin Xiao in astonishment. How could he not know much about antiques?
That didn't make sense, right?
If he didn't know much about antiques, how could he dig up such a big treasure?
Moreover, it was obviously not a matter of luck. If it was a matter of luck, Qin Xiao wouldn't know how to use water to wash away the rust on the copper cup.
Since he did that, it naturally proved that he knew that the copper cup was a treasure. It was just that he covered it up.
It was obviously very experienced. How could he not know much about it? How could he do that if he didn't know much about it? Doesn't this sound like a contradiction?
Not only was Feng Liuxu puzzled, but Tang Piaoxue and Shangguan Zhenzhen also looked at Qin Xiao with puzzlement. They were indeed somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know either. Anyway, I don't know much about these things. However, I have my own way of judging. The more ancient an object is, the longer it has been buried underground. It will emit a special kind of gas. And I can smell this kind of gas. Therefore, based on this kind of gas, I can judge whether this object has been buried underground for a long time or not, "explained Qin Xiao while shaking his head.
With such an explanation, the three of them felt relieved.
Of course, such a special method also surprised the three of them.
This was something that they had never heard of. Feng Liuxu had also never heard of such a method of appraising antiques. Moreover, such a method wouldn't lie.
If there was such a method, it would be much more accurate.
There were many things that could be passed off as genuine. Even he would make mistakes sometimes.
However, this method still had some limitations. If some objects hadn't been buried underground for a long time, they wouldn't be stained with much earth gas.
There were advantages and disadvantages, so Feng Liuxu didn't think too much about it.
"Boss, it's them." The manservant came out with a few men, led by a man who looked to be in his early fifties. He wore a golden chain as thick as a little finger around his neck. His head was shaved, and he had a fierce look on his face.
He was a burly man with a ferocious face. He looked like a smiling tiger.
They all seemed to be brimming with murderous aura, which made people afraid.
In addition to the boss and the servant, there were four tall and strong men, all of whom looked very unfriendly.
As soon as this group of people appeared, their aura was not small, and their battle formation was not weak.
The bald boss squinted his eyes and stared at Qin Xiao like a venomous snake or a ferocious tiger. His eyes flashed with sharpness.
Just the look in his eyes was scary enough.
Tang Piaoxue and Shangguan Zhenzhen were a little frightened and subconsciously retreated to the side.
Seeing such a battle formation, Feng Liuxu immediately frowned and looked over coldly. She was a little displeased.
The bald boss stretched out his hand in front of Qin Xiao and said with a fierce look, "Little brother, this bronze toasting cup is the treasure of my shop. My staff made a mistake and brought it outside this morning."
"This bronze toasting cup is not for sale. I'll return the 100 yuan just now to you. In addition, I'll pay you another 300 yuan. Take it as a treat. "
After saying that, the bald boss slapped the manservant's head and scolded angrily, "You're so careless. Do you want to close down my shop?"
"Hurry up and apologize to this handsome man and explain the situation. This time, I'll punish you. "
The manservant immediately nodded and said to Qin Xiao with an apologetic look, "Handsome man, I'm really sorry. I made a mistake just now and took out the treasure of our shop. Because I just started working this month, I'm not very familiar with the situation in the shop. That's why I made such a big mistake. "
"It's my fault. I hope you can understand me. Our boss said that he'll pay you 300 yuan as compensation. This matter caused me to stir up. It's my fault. I'll pay you another 200 yuan. Plus the 100 yuan that was returned, here's 600 yuan. I hope you can accept it and return the bronze toasting cup to me. Thank you! "
Looking at the manservant's sincere face and his nose and eyes, he really did look like he was serious.
However, his acting was still a little clumsy. It was obvious that he was trying to fool a layman.
Feng Liuxu was a little angry and said sternly, "Boss, is this how your shop does business? When doing business, you pay the money and everything is settled. How can you go back on your words? "
"Since we paid for it, it's ours. Whether or not we got a good deal is our business. It has nothing to do with you, boss, right? "
"What? You want to take it back after putting on such a show? There's no such logic in this world, right?"
The bald boss said in a deep voice, "Little brother, you can't say it like that."
"Everyone makes mistakes. My employee made a mistake and I pulled him out to apologize. I also explained the situation and compensated him. My sincerity is right there."
"You can't say that my shop has to go bankrupt to pay for my employee's mistake, right? Then who can I reason with? "
Feng Liuxu said, "That's your business. We don't have to care about it. Boss, you can't do business like this. "
"We're all professionals. Don't say such things to brush us off. In short, we won't return this thing. Since we bought it, it's ours now. "
"Any excuse or reason has nothing to do with us."
When he heard Feng Liuxu's words, the bald boss's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph!" The bald boss snorted coldly and said, "Since you can't reason with me, then it looks like there's nothing more to say."
"You haven't left my stall yet. I'm the one who has the final say."
"Young people, I'll make it clear to you today. If you don't return this thing, you won't be able to leave here in one piece today. "
"If you think 500 is too little, we can still discuss it. However, don't think of asking for too much. At most, I'll treat you to a meal. It's impossible to get more than that. "
"Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You don't have the qualifications to play with me. Here, if I want to pinch you, it's just like pinching an ant. "
"So, I advise you two young people to be tactful. Don't ask for trouble. Before Brother Zhen gets angry, be honest. State your demands, put down the thing, and then scram. Otherwise, we'll bear the consequences. "
It was a blatant threat. It was completely the face of a bandit.
The trend of benefits could really make people disregard everything.
The commotion here attracted the attention of many passersby. However, those passersby only took a glance or two before they were chased away by the people in the shop. They didn't dare to stay here any longer.
No one dared to meddle in this kind of business.
"Hmph, how can you be like this? Bad person, too bad. Opening a business, you're actually so shameless. There's no one else like you. This is wrong. We'll be very angry, "Tang Piaoxue said angrily.
However, her words clearly didn't have any power.
The bald tiger fiercely swept his gaze over, scaring Tang Piaoxue so much that she shrank behind Qin Xiao's back.
Qin Xiao's face was still calm and indifferent. There wasn't the slightest change in his expression.
This kind of thing was child's play for Qin Xiao. It wasn't strange at all.
Feng Liuxu's expression completely sank. Her voice was ice-cold as she said, "Then what if we don't give it to you?"
"Don't give it to you?" The bald tiger laughed. It was full of playfulness. The threat in his eyes became even stronger. "Brat, your mouth is quite tough. It's understandable for young people to be a bit hot-blooded. "
"If you don't give it to us, do you want to know the consequences?"
As the bald tiger said that, his four subordinates quietly surrounded Qin Xiao and the other three.
Each of them looked like they were ready to fight. They were all invisible threats.
"What? Are you going to rob us? In broad daylight, you dare to be so lawless? "Feng Liuxu said angrily.
Although he knew that the antique market was a place where good and bad people mixed together, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
It was broad daylight, and there were so many people on the street. They actually wanted to rob us? It was simply blasphemy against the law.
"Haha, law? In this place, I am the law. You stole my things and still refuse to give it to me. Then, I can only arrest you and send you to the police station. "The bald boss laughed sinisterly.
He directly thought of the charges for Qin Xiao and the others.
"Hmph, how shameless. Too shameless. How can you speak like that? Do you think the police are your family? Do you think they will believe your nonsense? "Tang Piaoxue said angrily.
She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen someone so shameless.
"It doesn't matter if the police are my family or not. What's important is what I say. I only want the things. I don't care about anything else. "
"Attack!"
The bald boss waved his hand, and his four subordinates attacked.
"Hmph!" Feng Liuxu was completely enraged.
She fiercely kicked out, sending a man who had pounced on her flying.
It was indeed a solid kick that sent him flying three meters away before he landed heavily on the ground. He was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up for a while.
The sudden change scared the passersby, causing them to scream and retreat.
Feng Liuxu's skills were originally very good. In the morning, she had received guidance from Qin Xiao, which allowed her to control and use her strength to improve a lot.
The strength of this angry kick was also very strong. Naturally, the lethality was very shocking.
Such a powerful attack also stunned the bald boss and the others.
The other three men were also stunned. Feng Liuxu didn't say anything. She kicked out again, sending another man who hadn't reacted yet flying.
Only then did the other two men react. After letting out two angry roars, they rushed forward to kill.
However, they left as quickly as they came. Very quickly, the four men were beaten to the ground by Feng Liuxu. The increase in her strength made Feng Liuxu's lethality more than double.
Therefore, when she attacked, the four men fell to the ground and cried out in pain. They couldn't get up for a while.
When the bald boss saw this scene, his expression became incomparably serious. He stared at Feng Liuxu. He knew that he had kicked a hard board.
However, the bald boss had been in the antique market for so many years. He had a good relationship with both the black and white sides. Naturally, he wasn't scared.
"Young man, your skills are quite good. I wonder where you come from? Hmph, since you've caused trouble here today, don't think that it will end well, "the bald boss said coldly.
His nickname was Tiger, which showed how fierce he was.
"Feng Liuxu of the Feng family." Feng Liuxu reported her family's name.
