The fish talisman was not only the identity certificate for ancient officials to enter and exit the palace, but also a token for mobilizing the army.

Generally speaking, the fish talisman is divided into two halves, with the word "contract" engraved on the middle seam. After being separated, there is only half of the word on each half of the talisman. When put together, the complete word "contract" can be seen, which is the contract.

The origin of the word.

However, it should be noted that before the Tang Dynasty, the fish talisman was not in the shape of a fish, but in the shape of a tiger, also known as a tiger talisman. However, later Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and established the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid the taboo of his ancestor Li Hu, he deliberately changed it into a tiger talisman.

The tiger talisman was changed to a fish talisman. The reason for using the shape of fish is said to be the homophony of carp. If there is "Li", it naturally means fish.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the court issued fish charms to officials, only giving half of them and keeping the other half in the palace. However, now Zhang Hao has collected two fish charms, which are clearly a pair.

Although Fang Yuan doesn't know much about the market for antiques, he also knows that a complete item is definitely worth more than a single item.

At this time, seeing that Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao were interested in fish talismans, Zhang Hao proudly introduced them: "Although these two items are not magical objects, they are also very precious antiques and are relics of the Tang Dynasty.

"

"Famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Yuan was startled, and after asking for Zhang Hao's permission, he carefully picked up the fish charm and looked at it. It was made of copper, with a very thick coating and was as warm as jade. Needless to say, half of it had no special features.

Half of them have words engraved on them.

"Wei Guogong, Shangshu Zuopushe, Fang!"

At first glance, Fang Yuan felt a tremor in his heart, as if he was numbed by an electric shock.

"Well, you should be able to tell whose relic this is."

At this time, Zhang Hao said proudly: "I asked experts to carefully identify it. The fish talisman is indeed from the Tang Dynasty. Together with the words on the talisman, we can directly confirm that it was used by Fang Xuanling, a famous prime minister in the Tang Dynasty."

Things have gone through more than a thousand years of wind and rain, but they have been handed down intact. They can also be called rare treasures."

"Yes, it is indeed a treasure." Fang Yuan murmured to himself, and suddenly said: "Boss Zhang, do you want to sell this thing?"

"ah?"

Zhang Hao was stunned: "This is an antique, not a magic weapon."

"That's not the point."

Fang Yuan paused for a moment, his eyes a little fiery: "The key is whether Boss Zhang can give up his love?"

"Uh..." Zhang Hao hesitated and said with some hesitation: "I may disappoint you. I also like these fish charms and have no intention of taking action."

For the rich, whether they are arty or really elegant, they need something with connotation to decorate their appearance. There is no doubt that Fang Xuanling's fish charm is like this, not only an ancient relic from more than a thousand years ago

, it is also a relic of a generation’s reputation, and it is even more honorable to speak of it.

Just imagine, Zhang Hao is not short of money, how could he sell his "face" so easily.

"Boss Zhang, can't you be accommodating?"

Fang Yuan's mood was agitated, and he managed to suppress it. Although he wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, there was still a trace of expectation in his tone.

"house……"

At the same time, Xiong Mao's eyes flashed slightly, and with a thought in his heart, he seemed to have some understanding, and he also helped: "Boss Zhang, I can see that Master Fang also likes this pair of fish charms very much. A gentleman has the beauty of an adult.

Just help him."

"Perform what?"

At this moment, layman Gu Yue also walked over and was quickly attracted by the fish charm in Fang Yuan's hand.

Similar to Xiong Mao's reaction, Master Gu Yue's eyes lit up when he saw the pair of fish talismans. Seeing Hunter Xin, he said happily: "What a good thing. I didn't expect you to actually hide it."

"She, this must be an antique." Zhang Hao said cautiously, saying that he is not stupid, just once or twice, but when he saw that even the layman Gu Yue had the same reaction, he realized that something was wrong.

"antique?"

Master Gu Yue hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he naturally didn't see Xiong Mao's secret wink, so he said directly: "It's an antique, but who told you that antiques can't be magic weapons? If antiques can't be used as magic weapons,

, so where did the evil-warming money, which is often used to pray for blessings and ward off disasters, come from?"

"oops."

Zhang Hao immediately woke up: "You mean, the fish talisman is also a magical weapon?"

"That's right."

While Lay Practitioner Gu Yue nodded, he couldn't help but praise: "And it looks like the quality is quite good."

"real?"

Zhang Hao had a look of surprise on his face, but Fang Yuan had an expression that shook his head and sighed.

"Um?"

At the right time, layman Gu Yue realized that the atmosphere seemed a bit subtle, and vaguely realized that he seemed to be too outspoken and said things he shouldn't have said.

"Boss Zhang."

Now that the matter has come to this, Fang Yuan doesn't want to blame anyone, and simply says frankly: "You should know now why I bought this pair of fish charms. All my wishes are fulfilled."

"this……"

Zhang Hao looked embarrassed. He didn't know that the item was a magic weapon before, and he had no intention of taking action. Now that he understands that the fish charm is a magic weapon, he cherishes it even more and has no intention of selling it.

"Sure enough, I did something wrong."

At this time, Master Gu Yue also realized that because of his quick words, Fang Yuan lost an opportunity to "pick up leaks". After all, in the eyes of Feng Shui masters, there are often some differences between the antique price of fish charms and the price of magical artifacts. If

He didn't say much, maybe Fang Yuan bought the thing at the antique price.

After knowing what happened, out of a desire to make up for it, Master Gu Yue also said: "Boss Zhang, the fish-shaped magic weapon is considered useless to you. You rarely have the opportunity to use it, and Master Fang

But he needs something like this, so you might as well give him a favor."

Zhang Hao could ignore Xiong Mao's persuasion, but when Gu Yue opened his mouth, he had to think carefully.

"good."

After serious consideration, Zhang Hao finally changed his mind: "Since the layman said this, I can't be so unreasonable..."

"Thank you, Boss Zhang."

For a moment, Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

"Don't thank me in a hurry." Zhang Hao shook his head slightly and said with a half-smile: "I promise to sell you the fish talisman, but I won't make any more concessions in terms of price."

In business, Zhang Hao is essentially a businessman. He can spend a lot of money to buy the things he likes, but it does not mean that when he sells things, he will be generous and generous to others and does not care about the amount of money. Buying and selling

, between buying and selling, a certain amount of profit is required, which is in line with the nature of a businessman.

Fang Yuan was not surprised by this and directly asked the price: "How much is it?"

"Two million!"

Zhang Hao was also straightforward, and directly stretched out two fingers, with a very calm expression: "I spent 1.5 million to take the fish talisman, and now I add 500,000, shouldn't it be too much?"

Not too much, really not too much at all.

Master Gu Yue and Xiong Mao nodded slightly. In their opinion, the value of the fish talisman was much higher than two million. However, as bystanders, they would not take the initiative to remind Zhang Hao, nor would they help Fang Yuan bargain for the price.

"Two million...please wait a moment!" Fang Yuan had no intention of counter-offering, since he did not pay for the money himself. After confirming the price, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called the landlord Sheng's mobile phone.

People are self-aware, and Fang Yuan knew very well that even if he sold the huge sum of two million, he wouldn't be able to raise it. In this case, of course, he would find a rich man to pay the bill.

However, to Fang Yuan's surprise, landlord Sheng's mobile phone could not be reached. He dialed the number several times, but no one answered the phone.

"What's going on? The chain slipped at the critical moment."

For a moment, Fang Yuan became a little anxious and had the urge to smash his cell phone.

"Master Fang, what's wrong?"

Seeing that something was wrong, Xiong Mao stood up and came to the rescue in a considerate manner: "Is the communication signal not good?"

"Um."

Fang Yuan's expression was also a bit gloomy, and he suddenly felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry. He couldn't even help the landlord to promote himself, so why was he working so hard?

"Then let's go have a drink first and fight later..." Xiong Mao said with a smile and found a step for Fang Yuan.

"That's right, let's go have a drink." Guyue Jushi is old, but his heart is very clear, and he immediately smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, you seemed to have said just now that you have been treating guests with Maotai wine for ten years. Do you know whether it is true or not?"

"You'll know if it's true or not when you taste it." Zhang Hao smiled and directly extended his hand to invite me.

On the way to the restaurant, Xiong Mao quietly tugged on Fang Yuan's sleeve and whispered: "Master Fang, if you have any inconvenience, just ask..."

Xiong Mao didn't mention the word money, but he clearly expressed what he meant. Fang Yuan smiled gratefully, but shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, I can solve it."

Fang Yuan also knew that two million was not a big amount for Xiong Mao. As long as he asked, Xiong Mao would definitely give it to him with both hands. But in this way, the favor was definitely lost.

Fang Yuan didn't want to do this. It was obviously a matter of the landlord's promotion, so why did he use himself as a favor?

"There's no rush anyway. I'll just make a call after the banquet..."

With this thought in mind, Fang Yuan came to the restaurant. While drinking and drinking at Zhang Hao's greeting, he secretly continued to call landlord Sheng. But what made him feel depressed was that until the banquet was over, everyone went back to the restaurant.

I went to the living room to have tea, but the landlord, Sheng, could not get through on the phone.

The banquet was over and the tea was almost drunk. It was clear that he was about to say goodbye and leave.

"Do we really need to borrow money?" Fang Yuan frowned.

Logically speaking, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry. He can wait until afterward to contact the landlord, and then bring money to buy it. The problem is that after some things happen, the village will no longer have this store. Now for the sake of layman Gu Yue

Zhang Hao agreed to sell the fish talismans, but he might not be willing if they came to him again afterwards.

If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it later.

While hesitating, Fang Yuan's eyes started to move, and he accidentally caught a glimpse of the golden sailboat in the middle of the hall. His eyes immediately lit up, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind...
