That was when I was in Beiping. ”

Xie Songshan said eloquently: "At that time, there was a subordinate in Du Mansion, a daughter-in-law, who was a cook in Du Mansion, and she looked a little good, one night, Du Ge Lao drank too much, slept until he woke up in the middle of the night, and asked for mint lotus seed soup to sober up, and the cook quickly helped to do it, and sent it to Du Ge Lao.

As a result, Du Ge Lao drank the mint lotus seed soup, and the strength of the wine did not subside, and he saw the cook heartbeat, and he actually raped her. These subordinates don't dare to speak out when they encounter this. Du Ge Lao tasted the taste, and for several days in a row, every night under the pretext of having a supper, he called the cook into his room......

After coming and going, this cook has it in her stomach. Born with a big fat son. Du Ge Lao already had a son before, and when he saw it, he didn't like it very much, and he thought about the cook and his man, don't use this excuse to ask for money, so he thought about blowing them out.

But when his eldest wife heard it, she was not happy, and said that it was all the Du family's species, and the cook and his man could get out, but the child must stay.

Du Ge thought about it, and this is also the truth, so he left the children, drove away the two cooks, and sent them three oceans......"

Meng Shaoyuan finally understood when he heard this: "This kid is Du Zhenxian?" ”

"It's not him. Du Ge's eldest son is called Du Zhenchun, and he is the most pleased. It's just that Du Zhenchun is a playboy who can't do anything when he's old. On the contrary, Du Zhenxian is very business-talented. The Du family has to rely on this son to make money, or else ......"

What's going on?

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head again and again when he listened.

It's a mess.

Also, there was something wrong with that robbery.

The Anti-Japanese Federation came to Xinjing to rob?

That's right.

Xinjing was the capital of the puppet state of Manchukuo, and the Japanese military strength was very sufficient, how could the anti-Japanese people risk coming here just to rob a cart of smuggled goods?

And do you know so well the route, time and place of the smuggled goods?

There's definitely something wrong with that.

Du Zhenxian smuggled in the past, relying on the protection of the Japanese, and this time he succeeded. As soon as Takeo Fujiguchi joined, the goods were robbed?

"This Du family, chaos, it's not something that we people can understand." Meng Shaoyuan asked casually: "By the way, Boss Xie, the anti-union people all went to Xinjing to kill people, and the Japanese let it go?" ”

"How so." Xie Songshan quickly replied: "As soon as I heard that the Anti-United Nations was coming, Fujiguchi Takeo personally led people to chase them and killed two of them, and the rest ran away with the goods, and they are still wanted until now." ”

Fart.

It doesn't make sense.

Killed two people?

The one with the goods ran away instead?

Ran away with a truckload of goods?

Isn't that nonsense there?

Takeo Fujiguchi!

Nine times out of ten, this big Zuo ate and drank in that black.

Even if Du Zhenxian thinks it's wrong, he is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

"Boss Xie, boss Xie."

Suddenly, there was a low cry outside.

"Come in."

A man of sixty years old, skinny, white, and clean walked in, with a roll in his hand and something I don't know.

Seeing that there was an unfamiliar face, the man was stunned for a moment.

"Don't worry, your own people." Xie Songshan spoke.

Only then did this person rest assured: "Boss Xie, I brought something out again." ”

The voice is sharp and sounds very awkward.

"Introduction, this is Manager Zhu from Shanghai, his own person. This is Gonggong Liu, from the palace. ”

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly realized.

Eunuch, no wonder he speaks so strangely.

"Bring that table."

Xie Songshan and Meng Shaoyuan went down to the kang together.

The table was moved, and Gonggong Liu took out the roll in his hand from the cloth bag, carefully placed it on the table, and then slowly unfolded it.

It's a painting.

In the painting, there is a dead tree, and its bent posture is like a body born of twisting and struggling, showing infinite vitality and majestic momentum. There is a strange stone at the foot of the tree, the stone is sharp and hard, but the stone is hovering like a vortex, both strange and ugly, as if it is rotating rapidly, causing a strong sense of movement in the picture.

Look at the payment again?

Good guy, Su Shi Su Dongpo!

"Boss Xie, look at it, how much is this painting worth?" Gonggong Liu asked flatteringly.

Xie Songshan hesitated: "It looks good, but ...... Or you come tomorrow, and I'll find someone to tell the truth from the fake. ”

Gonggong Liu was a little embarrassed: "Boss Xie, tomorrow I will wait for the emperor to go to Fengtian to inspect." ”

"This ......"

Just when Xie Songshan was hesitating, Meng Shaoyuan said: "Boss Xie, you send the driver to the hotel where I live and let my housekeeper come, he can tell the truth at a glance." ”

Xie Songshan did not slack off, and immediately ordered to go down.

Since the death of the Qing Dynasty, those eunuchs, considering their own livelihoods, have stolen national treasures and cultural relics from the Forbidden City and sold them on a large scale.

Because of this, a large number of national treasures have flowed out.

When the emperor went to Manchuria, he had already laid off a large number of eunuchs and palace maids, but some of them still followed.

These eunuchs, when they arrived in Manchuria, were still not honest, their hands and feet were not clean, and they would always try their best to steal something and sell it.

Serious merchants, black market merchants, Japanese are their buyers.

Anyway, although the emperor has left the Forbidden City, there are many treasures that have been quietly sent out over the years.

When I went to Manchuria, I brought most of them with me, especially the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, which are easy to carry.

This father-in-law Liu is in charge of the emperor's treasury, and it is the most convenient to do it.

After waiting there for a while, Luo Yan hurriedly walked in: "Manager Zhu, you called me?" ”

"Close the door." Meng Shaoyuan commanded: "Look at this painting." ”

"Dead Wood and Strange Stones?" Luo only glanced at it, then exclaimed in a low voice, approached, and observed carefully: "It's amazing, it's amazing, this is an ink and pen painting on paper created by Su Shi when he was too punctual in Xuzhou and went to Shengquan Temple in Xiao County." Su Shi's paintings were very famous at that time, and there was a scene of 'dead wood, bamboo and stone, and ten thousand gold competing for sale', but Su Shi's paintings were mostly seen in the records, and there were very few authentic works handed down. A national treasure! Priceless! ”

Dead Wood and Strange Rock Diagrams?

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly remembered that in his era, he once saw a piece of news that Su Dongpo existed in the world, could it be that the painting he saw was sold at a sky-high price of 460 million Hong Kong dollars, which seemed to be called a picture of dead wood and strange stones?

"Isn't that right?" Xie Songshan frowned when he heard this: "During the Beiyang period, Bai Jianfu bought the 'Dead Wood and Strange Stone Map' and 'Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Map', two rare treasures of Su Dongpo, from the antique shop in the Fengyu Building in Beiping. Later, he sold the "Dead Wood and Strange Stones" to the Japanese. ”

"Do you think that such a rare treasure as the dead wood and strange stone diagram will appear in the antique shop? Or can Shiramifu afford it? Luo Yan sneered.

It seems that this is the truth.

Meng Shaoyuan was there trying to remember.

According to Christie's auction house in his own time, during the Beiyang government of the Republic of China, two paintings appeared at the same time in Beijing Fengyulou, and were collected by Bai Jianfu, the secretary general of the great collector and warlord Wu Peifu.

After that, "Dead Wood and Strange Stones" was exiled to Japan, and there has been no news.

After his appearance, many people strongly questioned the authenticity of the painting.

Because so far, no one has been able to come up with sufficient evidence to prove that this painting belongs to Su Shi himself, and there are many periods in the history of the collection of this painting.

Where did the painting go during the blank period of the collection? Who has it collected? Who is the referee? And so on, many questions are currently unsolvable.

To say that this painting is genuine is only one side of Christie's.

"I've seen the two paintings in the Wind and Rain Building, and I know what's going on." Luo didn't seem to say all the words at a glance:

"Those two paintings have their gods, but not their rhymes, so they are fakes!"

Meng Shaoyuan didn't know calligraphy and painting, but he always heard people say that when painting, you have to paint with your mind. This is what it means. But now listening to Luo's words, why did it turn upside down?

Luo stared at the painting in front of him:

"When Su Shi created this work, he was implicated in the 'Wutai Poetry Case' and was politically depressed, so in order to express his depression, he created this painting.

The content of the picture is quite simple, with a few brushstrokes outlining a dead old tree and a craggy rock, just like the stuffiness of the contradiction in his chest.

Guanshi painting, such as reading the world and horses, take its mood, is this meaning. You see, the strange stones and ancient trees in this painting are not pictographs or fabrications, but Su Shi painted the familiar strange stones and ancient trees together, which more clearly revealed his uneven heart at that time.

The back of the stone is painted with several scorched bamboos, giving people a sense of hope. The artistic conception of the whole picture is empty and gloomy; The stone swirls and seems to condense the aura of injustice. This feeling is not something that a copycat can draw! ”

Meng Shaoyuan didn't understand either, so he just asked, "Can you buy it?" ”

"Genuine, you can buy it." Luo Yiyi's answer was very simple.

He looked at Gonggong Liu again: "Stole from the palace?" ”

"Yes, yes." Gonggong Liu nodded again and again: "The emperor's reward is scarce, and we can only think of some ways by ourselves." Otherwise, when we are old and frail and come out of the palace, what will we do with the disabled? ”

"You've stolen enough." Luo glanced at him and sneered: "How many treasures have been secretly sold to foreigners by you." One price, 50,000 in the ocean! ”

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.

A priceless treasure, only 50,000?

"Joke, joke." Gonggong Liu said repeatedly: "This is Su Shi's true handiwork, you just said it yourself." Fifty thousand? It's not worth the risk! ”

Seeing that he wanted to receive the painting, he heard Luo Yiyi say: "You have to sell it today, and if you don't sell it, you have to sell it!" Stealing things in the palace, if your emperor knows about it, don't let the emperor do it, just send you to the gendarmerie! ”

"Aren't you unreasonable, Ming robbery!"

Gonggong Liu was in a hurry.

Luo Yan said unhurriedly: "Nine years after Xuantong, the defense commander was restored." Outside the glaze factory, inside the alley! ”

When Gonggong Liu heard this, his face changed greatly:

"You, who are you!"

"Liu Guizi, open your dog's eyes wide and see clearly who I am, grandpa!"
