Chapter 530 The Scapegoat

Li Changheng carefully looked at the wooden box several times, and soon found that the box was made of Siamese rosewood.

Although it is inferior to red sandalwood and huanghuali in terms of price, the value of antiques does not depend entirely on the material.

Moreover, red sandalwood and huanghuali at this time are as expensive as death to ordinary people, but because there are not many people collecting them, if calculated by purchasing power, they are definitely not as high as those in later generations.

Therefore, the most important thing about antique wood products is not the material, but the historical value.

Li Changheng looked at the one-meter-high wooden box for a long time. Although he couldn't tell how much the box was worth because of his eyesight and unfamiliarity with the Siamese rosewood market, he didn't see any problems from the patina.

In other words, in terms of cultural value, this box is much higher than the huanghuali mahjong box Chen Xijiu gave last year.

Glancing at Lan Jiang, whose face was full of anticipation, Li Changheng smiled and opened the box.

When the gold-plated Buddha statue inside was revealed in its entirety, everyone took a deep breath.

It is 63 centimeters high and exudes a golden and copper luster. Under the light, it is really a bit dazzling.

The reason why gold has always been used by people in the East and the West as the best way to express wealth is that apart from its rarity, it looks golden and makes people want to own it.

Therefore, a large and dazzling thing that was slightly bigger than the arm was in front of him, and everyone's heart began to beat involuntarily.

"Hen."

Li Changheng looked up and saw Ruan Mei's grandmother, eyes closed, and said with a sad face, "This treasure is too precious, if you confess him.

What I want is not peace of mind, but disturbing people's mind all the time.

Even if you want to collect it, don't put it in the main hall, let Amei hide it. "

After hearing this, Li Changheng felt for the first time that not every old lady is a coward. "

Then he regained his senses and shook his head. With his own financial resources, as long as the antiques that appear on the market will become his own, it is nothing more than a question of whether it is worthwhile and whether he likes it or not.

Since Grandma Ruan Mei thought so, it would be even rarer than ten treasures.

He closed the big wooden box casually, and said something he liked very much to Lan Jiang, who already had an uneasy expression on his face.

Next, Yan Tong and Chen Xijiu sent suet jade, chicken blood stone mahjong, and several suet jade ornaments. While he thought it looked good, he lost the excitement of opening a treasure.

After all, to be honest, jade is just a beautiful, rare stone.

Of course, in order not to affect the enthusiasm of Yan Tong and Chen Xijiu, Li Changheng still expressed surprise and joy on his face and tone.

After all, cherished jade is much stronger than gold, whether it is collected, played or preserved.

Even, a bright red bloodstone bracelet was directly worn by her on Ruanmei's left hand.

He looked at the suet jade mahjong one by one again, and stretched out his hand to touch it for a while. After feeling the unique smoothness of this jade, he said to Ruan Mei with a smile on his face, "These things are all under your control now." gone."

Let Zhang Tianzhi help Ruan Mei to send all the things into the vault built in the rock mass.

At dinner in the evening, Yan Tong and Lan Jiang, who had taught Li Changheng how to punch the previous year.

This time, I didn't punch any more, and just toasted three-on-one.

After watching Li Changheng drink two bottles of Xinghuacun, although his face was slightly red, he was not drunk at all.

Yan Tong and Lan Jiang, who were hiding something in their hearts, immediately surrendered on the grounds that they couldn't play mahjong with him after drinking.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the special mahjong room of the villa, four people sat in a circle next to an automatic mahjong machine, but no one focused on mahjong.

After playing a few rounds, Yan Tong and Lan Jiang looked at each other.

After several rounds of eye contact, Yan Tong scratched his head and said with a smile, "SIR, have you heard about Godber's application for retirement?"

Li Changheng smiled and raised his head to look at Yan Tong, and casually played a sheet of three cakes that had been left around for several times. Sure enough, Lan Jiang looked at his own cards, and waited for him to speak even if he was completely foolish.

Seeing Yan Tong playing cards next door, Li Changheng smiled and said, "Don't tell me, you haven't dealt with your own problems in the past two years?"

Yan Tong, Lan Jiang, and Chen Xijiu immediately knew that the Anti-Corruption Witch, who had waited, hesitated, and doubted for more than two years, had finally come.

Otherwise, that old fellow Gerber would be willing to step down from his position as the head of the Kowloon District.

Li Changheng saw that the faces of the three changed drastically, and he simply pointed out, "There is no such thing as an unknown source of wealth in England.

If I were that old fellow Gerber, I'd just get myself a fake health certificate and retire right back to my hometown. "

Lan Jiang asked hastily, "But if he can't even wait for the transition period of more than a year, doesn't it mean that he has a ghost in his heart?"

"Then you said you're going back to England for safety?

Or is it more dangerous to stay here and be checked by people, want to sit in his position, and be stared at by people who have conflicts with him? "

Li Changheng looked at the three thoughtful people, and said with a chuckle, "Although running away may cause dissatisfaction among many ordinary people, it's not so easy to bring Geber back for trial.

Moreover, as long as Godber is not here, plus the secret help of those British policemen who are not clean themselves, the final result is nothing more than various negotiations and compromises.

If you really can't bear the pressure of countless ordinary people who have been dissatisfied with the poor for a long time.

Big deal, let Godber come back and plead guilty of 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars casually, and go to prison for several years to calm everyone's anger.

Then take the money he has earned over the years and live in seclusion outside of England.

Moreover, he is willing to take other people's troubles, and maybe he can take the opportunity to make a lot of money. "

Yan Tong and the three looked at each other silently, if an English police officer of Godber's level really entered the prison.

So sitting for a few years is not the point, the real thing is the most important thing.

Yan Tong said anxiously, "Then we are still sitting in the position of Inspector Zonghua, won't we directly become the biggest target?"

Li Changheng didn't rush to answer, but looked at his opponent Chen Xijiu with a smile.

Chen Xijiu felt terrified when she was watched, and she didn't react for a while.

Yan Tong and Lan Jiang, two veterans of the world, thought about it for a while, and their faces beamed with joy. They didn't want to be beaten as if they were the tallest ones.

Then push out the biggest one before and use it as a target.

But the problem is, since both of them know how to hide, doesn't Leihuo know the current situation?

No, Yan Tong and Lan Jiang immediately thought that for more than a year, Lei Huo had honestly stayed at home as an apartment.

But this guy must have been really thinking about how to recover. Not only did he pull the British messengers to do business, but he also worked as a peacemaker several times for people like Po Hao and Da Ma.

No need to guess, he knew that he wanted Pohao and the others to make trouble, even make it bigger, and force the English to let him come back out of the arena.

It's a pity that things are not that simple.
