Chapter 759 Gu Xingzhi.

It is impossible for a thief to come in and not leave.

So there are only two possibilities for this to happen.

The first possibility is that the thief is from the East Palace, pretending to be a thief who came in from outside.

Another possibility is that it was raining when the thief came, so the rain washed away the footprints when he came, and when the thief left, he walked backwards, so that only the footprints of the toes towards the prince Zhu Gaochi's study were left, so that Zhu Gaochi suspected that the thief was a person in the East Palace.

In view of these two possibilities, Ye Xing asked the crown prince Zhu Gaochi to send someone to search the East Palace, if the thief was from the East Palace, then the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" was very likely to be in the East Palace Prince's Mansion.

But after Zhu Gaochi sent people to search the East Palace inside and out, he did not see the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra".

After the East Palace did not investigate any results, Ye Xing took someone to find Gu Xingzhi, an ancient artifact merchant, and it was naturally inconvenient for the prince to go in person for this kind of thing.

The jade shop of Gu Xingzhi is opened in the most prosperous stage of Jinling Street, where people come and go, the river is endless, it is a very good shop, there are countless people who go to his store every day to buy jade calligraphy and paintings, of course, the people who can enter the jade shop of Gu Xingzhi to buy things are rich people, like those who work hard for three meals a day, there is no spare money to buy things inside.

Gu Xingzhi is a thin old man like an old pedant, when Ye Xing and the others entered his jade shop, he was carefully studying the authenticity of a calligraphy and painting, maybe he was too serious, so he didn't even notice that Ye Xing and the others came in, but he didn't need to notice it, because after Ye Xing and the others came in, a seemingly shrewd and capable guy immediately greeted him.

After the guy came up, he immediately smiled and said, "Do you want to buy any calligraphy and paintings?" ”

That guy's name is Ah Zhen, he is the most proud apprentice of Gu Xingzhi, he can see the preferences of others from people's clothing and demeanor, like this time he looked at Ye Xing and others, he felt that Ye Xing and others should like calligraphy and painting.

Because although jade is a good thing, only those nouveau riche and laypeople want to buy it back to show off, and Xiang Ye Xing, a person who is a little polite but has an extraordinary bearing, most of them are people who have real talent and love calligraphy and painting.

But this time Ah Zhen guessed wrong, Ye Xing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "We want to see your boss Gu Xingzhi!" ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, Ah Zhen hurriedly smiled: "A few people can tell me directly what they want to buy, I can call the shots of everything in the store, my master and his old man are studying a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and I really don't have time to entertain you." ”

After hearing Ah Zhen's words, Ye Xing finally understood why Gu Xingzhi didn't need to pay attention to whether someone was coming to the store, because his apprentice Ah Zhen could deal with almost any customer.

However, Ye Xing smiled slightly: "I'm afraid you can't do this for you, the person who is studying calligraphy and painting thinks it's Gu Xingzhi, right?" ”

While speaking, Ye Xing had already stepped over, and Ah Zhen saw that Ye Xing was about to break through, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stopped: "This son, my master has a very strange temper, you go so rashly......"

Ah Zhen hadn't finished speaking, Ye Xing had already come to Gu Xingzhi, and took the calligraphy and painting in his hand, Gu Xingzhi saw that the calligraphy and painting in his hand was robbed, he was very angry, looked up at Ye Xing and said angrily: "Who are you, why are you robbing my calligraphy and painting, give it back to me quickly." ”

Gu Xingzhi was very annoyed, but he wanted to snatch his calligraphy and painting from Ye Xing's hands, but it was not easy, and Gu Xingzhi didn't dare to grab it, it was a precious calligraphy and painting, what should I do if it was damaged?

Ye Xing saw that Gu Xingzhi was just begging, but he didn't mean to rob, so he took a look at the calligraphy and painting, and found that it was the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi's "Paste After the Rain" handwriting is very quaint, and it should be genuine, but Ye Xing is not good at these, so he said to Gu Xingzhi: "Boss Gu is studying this calligraphy and painting? ”

Gu Xingzhi saw Ye Xing asked him about calligraphy and painting, but he was very proud, because he was more interested in calligraphy and painting than for jade, but after several wars in the Ming Dynasty, there were very few famous writers and calligraphers, so he could only study ancient calligraphy and painting.

"Of course, this is Wang Xizhi's real work, it is very precious, you can return it to me quickly, I will not sell this painting." In the end, Gu Xingzhi turned out to be a begging again.

But at this time, Di Xiaojie came over and said with a smile: "Boss Gu said that this "Sticker After the Rain" is genuine, I'm afraid it's a bit exaggerated, I think this is clearly a fake." ”

Di Xiaojie has a lot of research on calligraphy and painting, and now some people say that his calligraphy and painting is a fake, and he is both angry and curious, so he looked at Di Xiaojie and asked: "You said that this "Paste After the Rain" is a fake, what evidence is there to prove it?" ”

Di Xiaojie was not polite, and said: "It's very simple, these calligraphy, the pen is a little slippery, the structure is loose, although the level is not high, but the penmanship shows a turn, frustration and naturalness, so it can be sure that the writing, we look at the paper color, the paper color is dark brown, the color is sluggish and unnatural, it can be known that someone dyed the old, and the book paper of the post is bamboo paper, bamboo paper was only made in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Xizhi is a calligrapher in the Western Jin Dynasty, from these signs, it can be seen that this "after the rain" is a fake. ”

After saying this, Gu Xingzhi hurriedly grabbed the calligraphy and painting to see, when he finished reading it, he suddenly couldn't help laughing loudly, which made everyone a little puzzled, and after Gu Xingzhi finished laughing, he suddenly looked at Di Xiaojie and said: "Wonderful, wonderful, I didn't expect that the little brother was an expert in calligraphy and painting, you really saved me, otherwise I would take this calligraphy and painting to my peers to appreciate, wouldn't I want to laugh at the generous family." ”

After Gu Xingzhi finished speaking, he handed over the calligraphy and painting to Ah Zhen, and then looked at Ye Xing and the others and asked, "I'm afraid that a few people came to me to buy calligraphy and paintings, right?" ”

Ye Xing nodded slightly: "It's not a secret, we really didn't come here today to buy calligraphy and paintings, but there are some things I want to ask Boss Gu, but there are many people in this place, I don't know if we can go into the inner hall to talk?" ”

Seeing that Ye Xing was so mysterious, Gu Xingzhi was also a little hesitant, seeing Gu Xingzhi like this, Ye Xing had to declare his identity.

"Boss Gu don't worry, Ye Xing, the king of the Ming Dynasty who walked in the world personally sealed by the emperor, came to Boss Gu today and just had a few questions to ask."

One of the ancient lines was shocked when he heard that it was Ye Xing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, but he also said casually: "It turned out to be the king of the Ming Dynasty, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, please come in quickly." ”

Gu Xingzhi believed that it was impossible for Ye Xing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, to harm him, so he no longer had any worries.

After entering the inner hall, Gu Xingzhi asked: "I don't know what is the important matter of King Daming personally coming to the shop?" ”
