Chapter 076 Coincident

The shopkeeper's silence took away the pocket watch with 2,000 oceans. The pocket watch is worth at least 50,000 yuan when it is in the hands of those who know the goods. The pawnshop picked up a big leak. However, the pawnshop did not dare to make this money. He knew very well that if the government knew about reselling this kind of thing, it would not be a personal wealth.

After Guo Erba left the pawnshop, the shopkeeper immediately sent a little clerk and followed Guo Erbao to the hospital. He ran to the Taoist government office to report to the official and handed over the pocket watch to the government.

Shanghai Daotai is none other than the famous Huang Zunxian.

Huang Zunxian is a great celebrity in the modern history of China. He is familiar with China and the West and is familiar with hundreds of schools of thought. He is a master of gold and stone research. Later, he traveled to Western countries and studied the politics, economy and law of Western countries, especially the modern legal system of the West. He is a rare master of the Qing Dynasty. The person who made friends. Huang Zunxian once served as the minister of the Qing Dynasty to Japan as an alternate magistrate. Although this person is an official of the Qing Dynasty, his thoughts are extremely radical, even more radical than Kang Youwei. It was only last month that I made up for the actual shortage of Shanghai Taoist platform.

Huang Zunxian is a cultural relic test, and he can see at a glance that the pocket watch is not an idle thing. It is determined that the person who owns this pocket watch is not a traitor!

Since the British and French forces burned the Yuanmingyuan and plundered many artifacts in the palaces of the Qing Dynasty overseas, Western countries were amazed by those exquisite artifacts. In Europe and the United States, any ceramic robbed from China can sell thousands of pounds. Therefore, in recent years, many foreigners have made a special trip to the Qing Dynasty to pick up cultural relics and take them back to China. Once they change hands, they can earn ten times or even a hundred times the price.

When foreigners come to the Qing Dynasty to steal and sell cultural relics, naturally there are criminals from the Qing Dynasty to favor them. Many local hooligans in the Qing Dynasty colluded with foreigners to smuggle cultural relics.

Shang Beach is the most open city in the Qing Dynasty, with a large collection of foreigners, so the resale of cultural relics is also the most rampant.

Huang Zunxian became a Shanghai Taoist platform. An important job is to investigate the resale of cultural relics. Huang Zunxian adopted a strategy of re-dian in troubled times. Once he took the cultural relics dealer, he would be given a heavy sentence and would never let him go.

So, when he saw this pocket watch, he immediately sent a patrol to follow the pawnshop to arrest people.

The little man in the pawnshop followed Guo Erba to the church hospital and found out that Guo Erba had exchanged the ocean and paid medical expenses for a child. Then he came back to report to the patrol.

The patrol followed the little man and rushed to the hospital and grabbed Guo Erba. Armed with martial arts, Guo Er pole fought with the patrol and overturned seven or eight patrolmen. He couldn't resist the many families. He was pressed to the ground and tied to the prison.

After Guo Ergang's move, Huang Zunxian increasingly determined that he was a Jiangyang thief who stole and sold cultural relics, and there must be a gang behind him. After arresting Guo Er pole into the prison, Huang Zunxian ordered people to be severely tortured and must be traced out. On the other hand, he sent a patrol to guard in the hospital to arrest his fellow party. The first person to be arrested was the child's mother Yao Xiaofeng.

At this time, Guo Erpole also realized that the pocket watch was of great importance. If a few words were wrong, it would expose Zhou Charter's whereabouts. Therefore, no matter how the patrol tortured him, he insisted that the pocket watch was picked up in the reeds by the Huangpu River, and he didn't know anything else.

Huang Zunxian is extremely shrewd. How can such a lie be hidden from him? However, Guo Er's bones were too hard. Huang Zunxian couldn't get any clues in Guo Er's mouth, so he pinned his hopes in the hospital.

This single mediocrity is to go to the hospital and contact the patrol there by the order of Huang Zunxian.

However, Shan Zhongyong has been a master in the Taoist government for three years, and he is not used to this kind of cultural relics smuggling case. In recent years, there have been a lot of such cases. This kind of case is big or small. The former Daotai solved many such cases, but in the end, they were all over. The reason is very simple. Most of the buyers of smuggled cultural relics are foreigners. In the Qing Dynasty, as long as foreigners are involved, this matter can only be dealt with by unspoken rules.

Therefore, Shan Zhongyong was not very interested in this case and had no vigilance. He was stunned by Zhou Charter. He had no door on his mouth and told all the events before and after.

The government regarded this case as an ordinary cultural relics smuggling case. Guo Erbar suffered from the pain of skin and flesh, but his life was worry-free. This boy's skin is rough and thick, and he has some kung fu. It's okay to eat a little meat and bitterness. Zhou Charter is a little relieved.

The two said as they walked, and soon they went to the church hospital. Shan Zhongyong got out of the car, threw two copper coins to Zhou Charter, and entered the inpatient department.

People came and went in the hospital. Zhou Charter looked at Shan Zhongyong's back from afar and saw the inpatient department. Two patrolmen in casual clothes greeted Shan Zhongyong and walked into the door together.

It seems that the patrol was outside Yao Xiaofeng's child's ward, waiting for Yao Xiaofeng to come to his door.

Zhou Charter put down the briquette, followed far behind Shan Zhongyong, mixed in the crowd, and entered the inpatient department. He saw Shan Zhongyong and two patrols. He walked to the door of Room 112 and looked inside. At the door sat a patrol in gray clothes, got up to salute Shan Zhongyong, and several people muttered.

That's a single room. Obviously, in order to trap Yao Xiaofeng, the patrol transferred the child to this single room and isolated him from other patients.

Zhou Charter did not show his face and came to the nurse station. There was a foreigner in a nun's black robe standing in it. Zhou Charter accompanied him and asked carefully, "What's your name?"

"My name is Mary."

Zhou Charter nodded secretly. Yao Xiaofeng said that Mary was a good-hearted person.

Zhou Charter asked in a low voice, "How is Mary, the child in Room 112's condition?"

Mary was stunned, looked at Zhou Charter and asked, "What is your relationship with that child?"

Zhou Charter said, "To tell you the truth, the child's uncle Guo Dahai is a raft. I don't know what happened and was arrested by the government. I'm Guo Hai's worker. The child is alone in the hospital. The workers are worried and let me come and have a look. I just passed by. The door of the ward was full of patrols. I was too timid to provoke them, so I had to come here to ask.

Mary looked left and right and whispered, "Are you a friend of Yao Xiaofeng?"

"Yes."

"The child's illness is basically cured. Please tell Yao Xiaofeng, don't worry, the hospital will arrange for the children's food and clothes. Please don't come to the hospital. There are patrols everywhere here. You should also go quickly.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Charter said, turned around and left the nurse's station and left the inpatient department.

Zhou Charter came to the side of the swagon and was about to pull up the swagon. A woman got on the trolley and said, "Master, gather at the virtuous inn."

Zhou Charter peeked at the woman and was shocked. He hurriedly lowered the brim of the felt hat and covered half of his face.

The woman has short hair and a beautiful face, but she is dressed in clothes. She is wearing a small collar hunting suit, breeches on her lower body, and a pair of high leather boots. She is none other than Zhao Han, a reporter of Declaration.

Zhou Charter did not dare to reply, so he had to turn his back to Zhao Han, leaned over and pulled up the sagging car and ran to the Jijuxian Inn, with great doubt in his heart.

The people gathered in the inn were originally very strange. Last night, when he and Yao Xiaofeng first arrived at the inn, there were four men who could use guns. Although the boss Shi Zhongji was a scholar, it seemed to have some unclear ways to come from. Jiang Naiwu, the porter, warned them not to go around. Ask. Now, reporter Zhao Han is also going to gather virtuous people! This Jijuxian Inn must be famous.

Zhao Han, a beautiful reporter, is grateful to Zhang Jun. At the beginning, Zhang Jun was characterized as a rebel by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Qing army purged Zhang Jun. Zhao Han shouted loudly, widely publicized Zhang Jun's military achievements, and made a strong public opinion in the whole country, forcing the Empress Dowager Cixi to withdraw her life. These are very clear in the Zhou Charter. Moreover, at the beginning, Zhao Han went to Pyongyang for an interview and worked as a bridesmaid for Zhao Qiaoer and witnessed the wedding of Zhou Charter and Zhao Qiaoer. Speaking of which, he was also a good friend.

However, at this time, Zhou Charter is still unwilling to reveal his identity to Zhao Han. There are two main worries. First, I'm afraid of leaking the wind, and second, I'm afraid of implicing Zhao Han! Empress Dowager Cixi must kill Zhou Charter. Once Empress Dowager Cixi finds that Zhao Han has a connection with Zhou Charter, she will inevitably get rid of Zhao Han at all costs, even if she is a British nationality.

Zhou Charter did not say a word and lowered his head to pull the car.

Zhao Han, who was sitting in the car, said, "Master, where are you from?"

"Subei." Zhou Charter said in a muffled voice. There are a lot of people in northern Jiangsu. Most of the people from northern Jiangsu come to Shanghai. Most of them are from northern Jiangsu.

"You are a bit like a friend of mine." Zhao Han said.

"Oh." Zhou Charter didn't dare to say more and readily agreed.

"His name is Zhou Charter." Zhao Han's voice was a little sentimental: "You should have heard that he is a great hero who beat the Japanese devils, but unfortunately, he died."

"I've heard of it." Zhou Charter is perfunctory.

"Why do you speak so indifferently!" Zhao Han's tone was very angry: "Zhou Charter was born to death and beat the Japanese, and the blood of Brother Zhang Jun stained the Golden Mountain Fort! Only then did this drive away the Japanese robbers and save the lives of the people! However, he is unfortunately killed now, but the Chinese people have turned a deaf ear to it! It seems that this has never happened! Everyone is so numb, what hope is there for China!"

"What Miss said." Zhou Charter said in a muffled voice, and a warm current surged up in his heart.

"I think you are perfunctory!" Zhao Han sighed, "Zhou Charter's death is unclear! The Zhenbei he was on was a gunboat anyway. How could it sink in a typhoon! Besides, don't the sailors on the ship know how to avoid the typhoon? There must be a conspiracy in it! Empress Dowager Cixi has always wanted to get rid of Zhou Charter. I think Zhou Charter did not die in the typhoon, but in the hands of Empress Dowager Cixi!"
