Chapter 26 Section 3

"There are quite a few hobbies." Yu Honghu blinked and looked up at the ceiling.After thinking for a while, he replied: "He is rich and likes to collect, especially calligraphy and paintings of gold and stone. Nowadays, so many people come to Hong Kong in despair, bring a lot of treasures, and are eager to find money. He happened to be looking for a bargain. It is said that he even bought I am very happy with several landscape paintings from the Song and Yuan dynasties." "This will be easy." Ye Xiangzhi couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, "Can you see him directly?"

Yu Honghu shook his head, "What's so difficult about it? It's just that when I go, I usually go alone, and I can't bring strangers. This guy is very vigilant, and he specifically told me not to bring strangers." Ye Xiangzhi nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll pretend to be an antique calligraphy and painting dealer, and you can introduce it to me. If you want to get it first, you must give it first. I have two landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty here. You should test them first to see if he has any. not interested." Yu Honghu agreed to try it. According to Ye Xiangzhi's vision, Huang Shaohong has been in the army for half his life, and he is no different from ordinary people.I can only start by gaining the trust of the other party in the name of selling paintings and familiarizing myself with the environment, otherwise I will lose my original capital.

Huang Shaohong heard that there are famous paintings of the Song Dynasty, so he readily agreed to meet.This Coke spoiled Ye Xiangzhi.In the afternoon of the next day, he dressed up as a down-and-out professor who fled to Hong Kong from the Mainland, and brought a Qing Dynasty fake that he had obtained with a lot of money and Yu Honghu to Huang Shaohong's residence on Woda Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. This is an elegant small mansion, with verdant trees outside, shaded by flowers and plants, stretching across the street entrance, it is an elegant and huge iron gate.Some plainclothes bodyguards outside the door kept shuttling and patrolling. Looking inside, Sikh soldiers wearing turbans loomed.

As soon as Yu Honghu approached the door, a person who looked like a bodyguard stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?" Bring calligraphy and painting." Yu Honghu used the pseudonym "Professor Lu" at Huang Shaohong's place. The bodyguard saw that it was Yu Honghu, and his tone became softer, and he said, "Please wait a moment." After a while, the bodyguard came out and asked: "Professor Lu, are you two?" Yu Honghu hurriedly pointed to Ye Xiangzhi: "This Mr. Zhang just came to Hong Kong from Shanghai, and he made a special trip to deliver paintings to Mr. Huang. "Ye Xiangzhi moved the painting box forward, and nodded reservedly and politely.

The iron gate was immediately opened for them.The two of them flashed into the courtyard and were about to run towards the small western-style building, but the bodyguard politely led them into a room, and said, "Professor Lu, this is a rule. We have to check your things." When Ye Xiang heard this, he nodded quickly and replied, "Of course! Of course!" As he spoke, he lifted up his suit skillfully, and two Sikh soldiers stood quietly behind them at some point.They expertly scrutinized people and belongings.When it was confirmed that there was no difference, the two Sikh soldiers nodded to the bodyguard, and the bodyguard took them to the small western building.Soon, in a spacious and bright reception room, Huang Shaohong, dressed in a white suit and biting a big cigar, came in with a smile surrounded by three big-armed bodyguards.

After exchanging pleasantries, Huang Shaohong asked politely, "Excuse me, did you bring the Taiwan paintings?" Ye Xiangzhi came here to find out the truth, and he was going to use the painting as bait to catch Huang Shaohong's taste and then wait for an opportunity to strike, so he calmly replied: "Please take a look at it, sir. I brought a painting. If you like it, I will There are more." Yu Honghu took the opportunity to say: "This Mr. Zhang just came to Hong Kong and is in urgent need of money, so he sold his collection as a last resort." Huang Shaohong nodded with a smile, and pointed to the painting box.

Ye Xiangzhi hurriedly took out the painting and together with Yu Honghu, he slowly unfolded it while holding the scroll.When Huang Shaohong saw it, his eyes lit up immediately. He took out the magnifying glass and stepped forward to look at the scroll carefully. He spoke Guangxi dialect with an expression of intoxication. After finishing the painting, Huang Shaohong returned to his seat, but the bodyguards did not leave for a moment.Ye Xiangzhi knew that the other party was highly vigilant, and immediately sighed in his heart, after all, he was the three heroes of the Guangxi family in his lifetime, no better than others.

"This painting of yours is a good collection." Huang Shaohong smoked a cigar, with a half-smile, "However, you did not show your face. What you brought today is a fake in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but it is also valuable. Because it is Yangzhou Eight It's a rare fake." Ye Xiangzhi only had a superficial understanding of Jinshi calligraphy and painting, and he also knew that it was an imitation of the Qing Dynasty. In order not to expose his secrets, he blushed and boasted: "Mr. It depends on whether you know the goods or not. Today, I saw that Mr. is a man of interest, not Mr. Ye who likes dragons. If Mr. is interested, I will send you two authentic landscape paintings of the Song Dynasty tomorrow morning."

Huang Shaohong happily replied: "Then I will trouble you, I will charge you as much as you have, and the price will never lose to you." Ye Xiangzhi and Yu Honghu thought that the fish had been hooked, and left happily.When Ye Xiangzhi returned to his residence, he couldn't help laughing out loud, "Huang Shaohong! Huang Shaohong, Lord Yama is waiting for you!" It just so happened that the person in charge of the CCP stationed in Hong Kong invited Huang Shaohong and Liu Fei to have dinner at the home of the general manager of "Hua Shang Bao".When the person in charge met them, he told them with a smile on his face: "Vice Chairman Zhou Enlai called today and invited you two to attend the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beiping." Huang Shaohong and Liu Fei couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard the news. Like a spring breeze.Their wish for the Chinese Communist Party for many years was finally coming true, so they accepted the invitation with great joy.

Hua Kezhi, an agent of the CCP's secret front who was responsible for transporting Huang Shaohong, immediately decided to let Huang Shaohong and Liu Fei move out of their original residences based on his years of work experience.Huang Shaohong replied with embarrassment: "I still have some personal matters to deal with." Hua Kezhi hurriedly said: "If there is anything, we will help you deal with it! You can't go back to your original place of residence. There is reliable information that Chiang Kai-shek has sent military special agents to kill you." Huang Shaohong was embarrassed to talk about his purchase of calligraphy and painting, but he always felt unwilling.Upon seeing this, Hua Kezhi insisted: "In any case, the two of you can't go back to your original residence. This is for your safety."
