I just paid off the 18,000 yuan in the palace, and in the blink of an eye, I have 40,000 yuan of Hades debt!

Wu Haogu's mood suddenly became extremely heavy, and the little sunshine that had just appeared in his heart was also covered by the haze.

What distressed him the most was that most of the treasures like "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" would most likely fall into the hands of Chen Youwen or Liu Youfang. And the 40,000 yuan paid by the samurai can only be exchanged for an inferior facsimile at most.

If you count the inferior fakes of the seven papers that the martial artists exchanged for 51,000 yuan before, the wealth of as much as 90,000 yuan was sent, and they were sentenced by Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen.

If it weren't for Wu Haogu's previous earning of 29,000 yuan from "Drunken Arhat Picture", the Wu family would have gone bankrupt immediately, and maybe the family would have been ruined!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu couldn't wait to take Guo Jing's "scary sword" and rush to Chen Youwen's house and stab their father and son.

Finally suppressed the idea of killing, Wu Haogu took a breath and said to the two brothers who followed him, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji: "Let's go, go to Kaifeng Mansion to pick up my father!" ”

After returning 18,000 yuan to the palace, the province of nei will immediately transfer the document to Kaifeng Mansion to release people. On this issue, Liu Youfang did not dare to make things difficult.

Otherwise, Wu Haogu would have been able to take the refund contract and go to Kaifeng Mansion to beat the drum and voice the grievances...... In the current Great Song Dynasty, civil officials from the imperial examination were very willing to trouble eunuchs and military generals.

With this kind of handle, Vice Liu knew that it was impossible for such an old fox to fall.

However, if the martial arts family can't come up with 40,000 life-saving money after a month. Liu Youfang will not be polite, and will definitely arrest Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haogu in the Kaifeng Mansion prison again.

Whether he will come out alive or not is hard to say.

No, we can't let those pickling workers arrest Lao Tzu and take him to Kaifeng Mansion Prison again.

Wu Haogu, who was thinking about how not to "enter the palace twice", soon arrived at the Kaifeng Mansion in the southwest of the inner city of Kaifeng Mansion.

Entering the gate of the mansion, when I arrived in front of the Silu Officer's Hall, I suddenly saw Feng Erniang and Wu Erlang standing there, and looked around from time to time.

Wu Erlang had already seen his brother, so he beckoned to him from afar: "Big brother, what's going on?" ”

"That's it, I've got the contract." Wu Haogu took out the contract voucher from his bosom and waved it, and said to his younger brother as he walked, "Just wait for the transfer of the Imperial City Division to arrive, and Daddy will be able to go home." ”

"They didn't make it difficult for my family anymore, did they?" Wearing moon-white clothes, Feng Erniang, whose face looked a little haggard, seemed to see the melancholy that Wu Hao's ancient eyebrows couldn't hide.

Wu Haogu looked at Erniang, then at the brother with an anxious face, smiled and said: "There is no bottom, some small things can always be dealt with." ”

Feng Erniang listened to Da Lang's words, didn't delve further, just nodded and said, "That's good." ”

But Erniang's eyebrows were still frowning slightly, and she didn't know if she was worried about the matter of separating from Wu Chengzhi, who had been with each other for many years?

At this time, Guo Jing had already sent a piece of money to a priest surnamed Wang in the Silu Division, and after getting some small information, he came to Wu Haogu and said: "Da Lang, the people from the Imperial City Division have arrived, and they have brought a transfer to release the Wu officials. The division was handling it, and Wang Zhisi told us to wait in the left second ear room of the West Prison first, and he would bring the martial arts officials with him. ”

Wu Haogu nodded, and then said to Feng Erniang and Wu Haowen: "Erniang, second brother, you go to the ear room first and wait, and the third brother and I will go over to see Daddy." ”

"It's fine." Feng Erniang breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled her son Wu Haowen to go to the ear room of Silu Sixi Prison.

Wu Haogu said to Liu Wuji again: "Xiaoyi, please go to the roast pig courtyard first to book a table and banquet, and ask for a private room." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Liu Wuji answered, and walked away.

"Third brother, come with me." After speaking, Wu Haogu and Guo Jing went to the cell where Wu Chengzhi was.

The guard of the cell is a prisoner surnamed Niu, who has already received the benefits of more than ten yuan from the Wu family, and seeing Wu Haogu is like seeing the God of Wealth, and greets him with a smile on his face.

"Wu Daguan, Ling Zun will come out in a short time."

"Thank you, Cow Prison." Wu Haogu thanked him, and handed over a quote of ten denominations, "I miss my father in the next few days, can I be accommodating?" ”

"Alright, alright, alright, come with me."

The prisoner surnamed Niu collected the money, so naturally it was easy to say, and soon led Wu Haogu and Guo Jing out of the cell where Wu Chengzhi was held.

As mentioned earlier, this cell is not for the murderers, but for the witnesses, so it is a single room, and there is no guard at present.

Wu Chengzhi knew that he would be able to go out today, and at this time he had already packed up and sat facing the wooden fence. Seeing Wu Haogu, Guo Jing and Niu Prison coming in together, he stood up and walked to the fence.

"I still have something to do, you guys talk slowly." Niu Prison is also an old Jianghu, knowing that the Wu father and son have something to say, he doesn't want to listen to it (it's not good to know too much), so he opened the prison door at that time, and then bowed his hand and retired.

"I'll go outside and keep watch." Guo Jing then retreated as well, and the Wu family father and son were left in the cell, sitting opposite each other on two benches.

"Da Lang, what's wrong?"

Wu Chengzhi seemed to have guessed that Wu Haogu was in new trouble in the contract reasoning division, and asked anxiously as soon as he sat down.

"The pickled goods surnamed Chen gave seven inferior paintings and calligraphy, and they had to return the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map", asking for 40,000 yuan."

"What?" Wu Chengzhi's face turned dark, "Retire the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map"? How dare he ......"

"Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" is different from the seven-paper calligraphy and painting that was returned to the Wu family before, it is the real work of Wu Zongyuan, and it is still a masterpiece! One and a half feet long, nearly 20 feet wide, there are more than 80 figures on the picture, and the difference is made, complicated but not chaotic, the spirit is flying, it is a rare treasure.

In addition, Wu Zongyuan, who did painting, was not an ordinary painter when he was alive, but a dignified six-grade civil official, and he was not born as a "trick official", but Yin Bu Jin Shi (married the granddaughter of the prime minister, so he got Yin Bu). Therefore, his paintings cannot be priced according to the standards of ordinary artists' works. Moreover, Wu Zongyuan has passed away for decades, and the works handed down are very limited, and most of the authentic works are collected by the court and wealthy families, and the value in the market is also very high.

If you can really use a mere 40,000 yuan to get back the authentic work of "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map", you can take it for 100,000 yuan.

However, Wu Chengzhi also knew that Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen would not hand over the authentic work of "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" to the Wu family.

Even if the martial artist offered 40,000 yuan, what he got was just an inferior imitation, and the real thing naturally fell into the hands of Liu Youfang.

"What would they not dare?" Wu Haogu sneered, "The official family doesn't like calligraphy and painting, and their minds are all on enriching the country and strengthening the army, and the calligraphy, painting, and literary play in the palace are not at their mercy?" ”

Wu Chengzhi shook his head again and again, "It's not this reason!" Son, why have you even forgotten the rules of the calligraphy and painting shop? ”

"Rules?" Wu Haogu changed his soul, so he naturally didn't care much about the rules of the Song Dynasty, and he was reminded by the old man before he remembered something.

"Daddy, do you mean to go to the Guild and call the shots?"

The 360 lines of the Song Dynasty all had guilds, and the head of the guild was called the head of the line (each line had more than one line), and calligraphy, painting, writing, and playing were no exception.

The rule of the guild is that a big mink like Liu Youfang can't be broken, otherwise the entire Kaifeng calligraphy, painting and literature store will not dare to do business with him.

Wu Chengzhi: "The previous seven-paper calligraphy and painting were fake, but the contract stated that it was true, that is, the lawsuit was brought to the front of the emperor, and it was my family who was wrong."

But "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" is real, and when it was handed over to the palace, the predecessor Guo Chunfu also issued a document, and this document is still in the house! Do you know what kind of person Guo Chunfu is? ”

Guo Chunfu is Guo Xi, a great painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was rated as "the first in the world" by Emperor Shenzong. He can not only paint, but also a painter, author of the painting theory "Lin Quan Gaozhi", the level of palm eyes is also one of the best, not under Mi Fu, Wang Xu.

The "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" identified by him, who dares to say that it is fake?

Of course, this Guo Chunfu died eight years ago at the age of 90! If he didn't die, it would be impossible for Liu Youfang to control the calligraphy and painting shop in the palace alone.

However, he is dead, and his appraisal documents are still authoritative. Liu Youfang didn't dare to overthrow it easily!

In addition, Guo Xi also has a son named Guo Si, who is also a master of calligraphy and painting, and co-authored "The Elegance of Linquan" with his father, and will definitely come forward to defend his father's authority (he is a filial son). And this Guo Si is still a good man who is famous outside the Donghua Gate, he was admitted to the Jinshi fifteen years ago, but he is not a character that Liu Youfang can scare about.

"Daddy, are you saying that Daguan Liu is bullying my family and dare not resist?"

Wu Haogu already understood what Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen were planning! They were blackmailing the samurai, if the samurai appealed through the guild. They don't dare to fight the lawsuit!

Even, they won't really retire the "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map...... This thing is different from the previous return of seven paper fake paintings. The seven paper paintings are indeed fake, they were negligent before, and they were not discovered (the edict in charge of appraisal was therefore not allowed to leave their posts), but now they have found it, and they must be refunded according to the contract.

The reason is all right, that is, to fight the lawsuit to "Bao Qingtian", and it is the martial artist who suffers from the board!

As for how many kickbacks were given, does the samurai have any credentials? Not at all! And it's not Liu Youfang and Liu Ai who take the money, and the board can't beat them......

And "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" is real, if it really withdraws, it will be the loss of treasures in the palace. If the matter is stabbed in front of the emperor, even a big mink like Liu Youfang can't bear it.

He is not a scholar who is not afraid of heaven and earth!

Wu Haogu gritted his teeth and said, "Daddy, then my family will not be afraid, it's a big deal to fight a lawsuit!" ”

"You ......" Wu Chengzhi looked at his son and shook his head again and again, "Why are you so impulsive like this kid?" For the rules of calligraphy and painting that your father taught you, why did you forget all of them? ”

"What are the rules?" Wu Hao really can't remember it for a while.

"It's the unspoken rule under the stage!"
