Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

"Hahahaha, Master Ning, this is all thanks to you. After these two times, how could I, Chen Liangzi, not know how valuable these items are!"

"I've hidden these things a long time ago. I'm not exaggerating, but if these idiots dig out the things our Buddha has hidden, I might as well grab a rope and go directly to see the founder!"

Although Chen Liangzi had wounds on the corners of his mouth, he still endured the pain and laughed as he spoke.

"Looks like I worried for nothing. Hahahaha, as long as the stuff is safe, you're lucky. You happened to run into me coming over to give you the money. Otherwise, wait for these idiots to dig you up, and see if you can still laugh!"

Ning Yuan joked as he took out a small stack of Great Unity banknotes from his coat pocket.

"Let's count. Jade Guanyin also sold one thousand eight hundred this morning. This is your share, five hundred and forty!"

Chen Liangzi hesitated and picked up the stack of big unity notes on the table, then made a martial arts salute to Ning Yuan and bent down to speak.

"Master Ning, you are so noble and upright. I, Chen Liangzi, am truly impressed! Please sit down for a moment. I'll go get something!"

Ning Yuan was caught off guard by this great gift. He quickly helped Chen Liangzi up and said to him.

"After today's battle, you should finally know that the bold words I said back then were not empty talk, haha!"

Chen Liangzi nodded awkwardly, then went out to the back wall of the main house.

After Zhang Haiyang watched Chen Liangzi leave the door, he asked Xiang Ningyuan in shock.

"Ning Yuan, where did you get so much money? No wonder you guys eat Lao Mo's every day!"

Ning Yuan smiled pretentiously and waved his hand.

Zhong Yuemin had already found some trauma medicine in Chen Liangzi's house. He wrapped the wound with cotton cloth and bandages, and then was taken to the hospital by Yuan Jun, Zheng Tong and others on bicycles.

At this time, Ning Yuan and Zhang Haiyang were the only two people left in the room.

Seeing that Zhang Haiyang couldn't contain his curiosity, Ning Yuan had no choice but to tell Zhang Haiyang about how he and Zhong Yuemin were dealing in antiques.

"You guys are so brave that you dare to deal with these sensitive things at this critical moment!" Zhang Haiyang couldn't help but complain to Ning Yuan after hearing what Ning Yuan said.

But even though I complain, I am really convinced.

Under these conditions, he can have food and drink with a large group of buddies without worries. No wonder Yaer broke up with Li Yuanchao. These buddies are all wholeheartedly following Ningyuan Zhong Yuemin.

That guy is the famous Li Yuanchao.

After thinking about it, Zhang Haiyang still felt that Ning Yuan was indeed capable. Moreover, during the time they had spent together, he found that this guy was kind, loyal to his friends, generous, and not to mention fighting. He was a first-class expert.

Thinking about it this way, it seems like it’s really not bad to follow Ning Yuan!

Ning Yuan enjoyed Zhang Haiyang's "worship" with peace of mind.

"That's right, we are just brothers. No one else would dare to cross this line! Haiyang, don't worry, we are brothers. You brothers are naturally my Ningyuan's brothers. If we have something to eat, none of us brothers will be left behind!" Ning Yuan promised Zhang Haiyang.

"Okay, buddy, your words are enough. I, Zhang Haiyang, trust your character!" Zhang Haiyang smiled and punched Ning Yuan in the chest.

After chatting for a while, Chen Liangzi, who had gone out to get something, came back into the house with a large cotton bag in his hand, and no one knew what was wrapped in it.

Chen Liangzi is a man of insight. In fact, after what happened today, he has come to realize that some things are really beyond the reach of a few of them who are afraid of seeing the light of day.

I was lucky today because I met Ning Yuan and a group of friends who came to give me money. If I hadn't met them, what would have happened?

Either sacrifice your life or your wealth!

Chen Liangzi was also at the scene when the fight just happened. He had witnessed the ferocity of scarred-faced Tang Yong.

If I continue to be stubborn and refuse to tell you where the things are buried, even if Tang Yong doesn't kill them, he will probably cripple them all!

If I just give it to Tang Yong, I won't get any benefit at all. Instead of carrying this hot potato in my hands, I might as well give these good things to Ning Yuan.

First of all, Ning Yuan is a generous person. Although he doesn’t socialize much, one can sense that he exudes a sense of magnanimity!

Secondly, I have finally opened my eyes today and realized what kind of brutal methods these gang of ruffians are using. I need to find a reliable backer to avoid getting into trouble again.

So Chen Liangzi decided to take all these things out, pack them up and hand them over to Ning Yuan.

Chen Liangzi placed the large cotton bundle on the table and untied it bit by bit.

Eight scrolls of calligraphy and paintings, three pieces of jade, and a set of blue and white multicolored cups.

These are all the things that Chen Liangzi picked up from the yard in Maoer Hutong, except for those he had already given to Ning Yuan.

There is a trick to appreciating calligraphy and paintings: first look at the scroll, then the paper, then the surface, and finally the style!

If the scroll and paper are old enough, there is no need to open them, and the painting cannot be wrong.

Ning Yuan has done some research and can tell at a glance that each of these calligraphy and paintings is worth a fortune.

During this New Year's Day, no one was so stupid as to imitate these head-breaking things, and with the few things he had before as a foundation, Ning Yuan naturally accepted these things.

Looking at the three jade pieces, one is a jade ruyi, about ten centimeters long, the size of a palm. The jade is translucent and the carving is fine. I think it is not an ordinary item.

The other two pieces are a pair of jade qilins, which look like the specifications of paperweights. The bottom is a whole flat jade base, on which lies a lazy but majestic black qilin.

These are two black jade Qilin paperweights, also treasures made by the imperial court.

Ning Yuan had seen the remaining set of blue and white multicolored cups twice before, and was not surprised at all. The six cups in this set were stacked one on top of the other.

Ning Yuan looked at these things, then stared at Chen Liangzi, wanting to hear his intentions.

"Master Ning, today I, Chen Liangzi, will speak frankly. This is all the things I have left. I didn't leave anything behind. You can take them all away today. You can give me whatever can be sold. If you can't sell it, you can keep it for yourself!" Chen Liangzi was very good at speaking.

"Okay, Liangzi, I understand what you mean. Since you're so frank, I won't hide anything either. I'll accept the things. I'll have someone appraise their value and give you a 30% share!"

Ning Yuan also understood why Chen Liangzi suddenly confessed this to him.

The reason why he acted so ruthlessly today was not only to intimidate people inside and outside the team, but also to show off his skills in front of Chen Liangzi and others.

It seems to have worked!

"Mr. Ning, you are so kind!" Chen Liangzi clasped his fists again to express his gratitude.

"I won't say any more polite words. Two things. First, you guys, find two small houses. You keep one and I'll take one. Second, if you meet a rude person in the future, tell me my name. If you don't accept it, come to me and I'll kill them!"

Ning Yuan was not polite. Since such a huge benefit was handed to him, he naturally had to give some return within his ability.
