The Kaifeng Mansion covers a large area, almost on par with the Great Xiangguo Temple, located in the southwest of the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, and is not too far from the Great Xiangguo Temple and the Zhouqiao Night Market.

The government sits in the north and faces south, and the tall and majestic main gate opens on Bianhe Street. The main gate is usually closed, and the side doors on both sides are for characters such as Wu Haogu and Feng Erniang to enter and exit. However, unlike the imagination of later generations, the access control of Kaifeng Mansion is not strict, and the guards and military patrols do not make it difficult for the people to enter and exit, but only roughly check whether the people come with weapons.

Wu Haogu and Feng Erniang only brought some food, clothing, a few silver collars and a scroll, and after Feng Erniang stuffed a few small coins, they quickly passed through the main gate of Kaifeng Mansion.

Behind the main gate of the government is a two-storey drum tower, which is the place where the drums are beaten. Behind the drum tower, there are three instrument doors on the left, middle and right, which lead to the left, middle and right halls of Kaifeng Mansion respectively. Among them, the middle hall is the main hall of Kaifeng Mansion, that is, the place where the prefect works. The left and right halls are the offices of the judges and pushers of Kaifeng Mansion, and the judges and pushers are civil officials who assist the Qingtian Lord of Kaifeng Mansion, among which the judges are in charge of prison litigation and punishment, but Wu Chengzhi, who is detained in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion, is not under the jurisdiction of the judge's left hall, but is under the jurisdiction of the Kaifeng Mansion Division of the Kaifeng Mansion Division of the Military Administration.

Kaifeng Mansion Division is referred to as the Mansion Division, also known as the Mansion Academy, and the Left Army Patrol Institute and the Right Army Patrol Institute are collectively called the Three Hospitals. The position of the three courts in the Kaifeng system is very important. Among them, there is also a West Prison under the Fu Si, which is the so-called Kaifeng Fu Prison.

Those who are being detained in Fusixi Prison are all suspects and witnesses awaiting trial, and Wu Dalang's father, Wu Chengzhi, is being held in Fusixi Prison in the name of a witness. Therefore, the treatment is much better than that of the suspects in custody, there is a small single room, Feng Erniang also used the money to buy a few guards and servants, sent the bed board to cover it, and sent meals and a change of clothes on time every day. didn't make Wu Chengzhi suffer much.

Led by a priest surnamed Zhu who had been pawned by Feng Erniang, Wu Haogu and Feng Erniang walked to a cell that looked fairly clean. Through a row of wooden fences, Wu Haogu saw a fat man in a gray robe, bald and without a scarf and hat, sitting on the bed with his back to him.

"Officials ......"

The man sitting in the cell, when he heard Feng Erniang's call, he stood up and turned around, his movements were a little slow, and after turning around, Wu Haogu recognized that the person was his father Wu Chengzhi in this life by means of the dim light.

"Da Lang, you're here too." Wu Chengzhi's complexion was not very good, and his voice was a little sandy.

"Daddy...... The child will be able to raise money to save you in no time. ”

Wu Haogu looked at the middle-aged man who looked very depressed behind the wooden fence, and a feeling of grief suddenly welled up in his heart, and his eyes moistened.

"Oh, really?" Wu Chengzhi slowly walked to the wooden fence, looked at his son and smiled bitterly, "Da Lang, it's really hard for you these days......

Wu Haogu looked at his father and found that the other party's face was a little strange, and there was an irrepressible pain revealed.

"Daddy......"

Wu Cheng raised his hand to stop his son's words, and then slapped his wife Feng Erniang again.

A small silver collar was immediately stuffed from Feng Erniang's hand to Zhu Zhusi on the side, and Erniang snorted: "Charge, the two of them haven't seen each other for many days, I wonder if you can borrow a cleaner ear room for them to talk for a while?" ”

The priest surnamed Zhu accepted the silver collar, and naturally he was easy to speak. immediately ordered the jailer to open the prison door, let Wu Dalang go in and help Wu Chengzhi out, and then took the two Wu family fathers and sons and Feng Erniang to a small ear room near the cell.

However, only Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haogu father and son went into the room, but Feng Erniang chatted with Zhu Zhusi in the small courtyard outside the ear room.

"Da Lang, I heard Erniang say the day before yesterday, you closed the painting and moved to the academy?" After Wu Chengzhi sat down on a chair in the ear room, he asked in a low voice.

"Daddy," Wu Haogu replied, "After I want to go out of the painting ceremony, I will calm down and read some books." ”

"Reading?" Wu Cheng was stunned, his eldest son didn't like to study, but the second son Wu Haowen had some talent in Confucianism.

"It's good to read some books," Wu Chengzhi frowned slightly, "My family has branched off since your father-in-law (referring to Wu Haogu's great-grandfather Wu Zongyuan), leaving Confucianism to specialize in painting, and in my father's generation, I don't even have an official body, and it is natural that I can't keep the family business." ”

"Can't hold it?"

Wu Chengzhi nodded and sighed: "It's the "Eighty-Seven Immortal Map"! ”

"Wu Daozi's "Eighty-Seven Immortals"?" Wu Haogu certainly knew that this masterpiece was famous in the history of Chinese painting.

"Yes."

"But isn't this painting placed in the view of longevity?"

In the memory of Wu Haogu's life, there is also the situation of "Eighty-Seven Immortal Pictures".

"What is placed in the view of longevity is a fake...... It was your father-in-law who came. ”

Wu Haogu gasped. Even in the Northern Song Dynasty, this painting can be called a national treasure! In order to get it, those powerful people may not give up easily.

However, Wu Haogu was still a little unwilling, and asked, "Who saw it?" ”

"It's Mi Xiangyang!"

It's actually Mi Fu, it seems that it can't be wrong!

Wu Haogu shook his head again and again, "Daddy, how is it now?"

Will the palace come to ask for "Eighty-Seven Immortals"? If we can't get it, will it cure us? ”

"I'm afraid the official family still doesn't know about this, right?" Wu Chengzhi shook his head, "If the official family asks, it will be fine...... It wasn't my father and son who did this, and it's your father-in-law's fault. Everyone else is in the ground, what else can they do? Do you open the coffin and kill the corpse? How could an official do such a thing for the sake of a paper painting? ”

I just stole a picture...... It can't be called stealing, and the things of the reader are not stealing.

It's just a fake in exchange for a painting, and it's not a rebellion. What is the bottom of the matter for a civil servant from the six-rank doctor to the court? Even if Wu Zongyuan was arrested back then, at most he would be demoted to an official.

Even the main culprit himself is fine, what other crime can his unwitting descendants have? If this matter is reported to Emperor Zhezong, at most he will send someone to the martial arts to look for it, and if he can't find it, forget it. If you don't have this amount of equipment, what else should you be?

So what is really terrifying is not the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but the official ...... who is eyeing the treasure of the martial arts family

Wu Haogu thought about leaving, "Daddy, shouldn't we just leave?" ”

"No," Wu Chengzhi shook his head, "Kaifeng is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is the place with the most royal law in the whole world...... If my father and son hadn't stayed in Kaifeng, they might have been arrested and tortured a long time ago! ”

Da Song has human rights! Although it cannot be compared with modern society, it is certainly one of the times when human rights were most emphasized before New China.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the city of Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo is the most reasonable place in the entire Great Song Dynasty. If you look at the world today, it must also be the place where ordinary people can be most protected.

Therefore, those who covet the "Eighty-Seven Immortal Map" are only legally framing the martial arts family so far, and they have not torn their faces to take people.

But this does not mean that those nobles will spare the samurai, they still want to "eat people", but they must eat the samurai's family business civilly, gently, and elegantly.

If Wu Chengzhi and Wu Haogu's father and son deal with it well, maybe they can leave something to add their own lives, so that they can make a comeback in the future...... If this panicked Song can still have a future!

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu handed the scroll he brought with his hands to his father.

"Daddy, how about you take a look at this thing?"

Wu Haogu took the scroll, unfolded it gently, and after only one glance, his brows moved.

""Drunken Arhat"? You've got a facsimile too...... Wrong! This is, this is ......"

Wu Chengzhi's eyes widened, staring at the scroll in his hand, looking at it again and again.

"It's the original...... This is original? ”

"Daddy," Wu Haogu asked slowly, "what age do you think this painting is?" ”

"It should be from the Tang Dynasty." Wu Chengzhi said without thinking.

"Is it a painting of the saint?"

"No, most of them were painted by the Holy Disciple of Painting," Wu Chengzhi said, "and he is also a Holy Disciple of Painting who is better than blue." ”

Hearing Wu Chengzhi's words, Wu Haogu's heart was suddenly relieved. He Lao Tzu Wu Chengzhi is also the No. 1 person in the Kaifeng Mansion Calligraphy and Painting Company, and he is also famous for being good at identifying and identifying "Wu family style".

In terms of identifying the Wu family, he can compare with him, probably only Mi Fu and Wang Xu. If Wu Haogu can deceive Wu Chengzhi with this painting, then even if Mi Fu and Wang Shu come to see, they may not be able to see through it......
