"Huh!" The prince's face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, with a bit of mystery that was difficult to guess. However, his eyes were filled with cold light that made people feel chilly. He said in a strange and sinister manner: "
It was the fake prescription you sold on the street that caused the death of our manager Liu. Our family has long wanted to settle this debt with you. However, your father, who is on official business in the yamen, at noon
You unexpectedly arrested a merchant selling medicine to take the blame. Hey, hey, you two, do you really think that our family is so easy to fool? Pay your debts and kill people to pay for your life! Today, our family asked someone to bring you here to let you know about our family.
sharp!"
Caught a drug seller to take the blame... How come he didn't know about this? However, Xu Qian was a man of two generations, and he could guess some clues. The old man must be afraid of something happening, and the Yamen was pressing hard, so he simply
He arrested a merchant to go on an errand, but the prince was not stupid at all. He actually knew the reason for this. However, the prince was naturally dissatisfied, so he simply took advantage of the situation and arrested himself.
Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I know that the villain's prescription has been sold not only for a hundred, but also for dozens. I have never heard of eating dead people. There must be some misunderstanding. I have long heard about it."
If you understand justice well and are upright, please make sure to redress the grievances of villains."
Xu Qian felt that if he didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, his mouth immediately felt as if it was covered with candied fruit. This was a matter of life and death, so flattering him was nothing.
The prince stared at Xu Qian pitifully and said: "You mean if you say a few nice words, our family will let you go? When it comes to flattering horses, you are still young. If you don't learn well at a young age, you will follow others and sell fakes.
Prescription, deception, if we don't beat you to death, how can we repay you in the future? Come on! Drag him down, beat him to death, and feed him to the dogs!"
Several guards from the mansion rushed in immediately and tried to drag Xu Qian out fiercely.
Xu Qian quickly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
At this time, these eunuchs and lackeys should be shocked and look at the protagonist in shock.
It's just a pity... The protagonist wants status but no status, and no one takes it seriously. The aloof prince is also indifferent, raising his legs to pick up the tea cup on the table and blowing the tea foam.
Xu Qian said again: "My lord, I am young, please remember that I have an old father in his forties who has no one to support him. Next...down there are some reed chickens at home, waiting to be fed..."
Xu Qian lost his confidence as he talked. He hated it. He originally wanted to learn a few slang words from the TV series and apply them, but halfway through the conversation, he realized that the old man was not even seventy years old, and he was not underage.
The children, in the end... had no choice but to suffer tragedy.
Xu Qian's words obviously didn't work very well. The strong thugs had already held his arms and easily lifted Xu Qian up. Xu Qian's feet were off the ground and his toes were dangling.
"Don't worry about beating him to death. After he is beaten to death, he will feed the dog. Our family will settle the score with his father tomorrow. This is the consequences of deceiving our family!" After the prince took a sip of tea, he watched as he was almost dragged out of the door.
Xu Qian’s face is full of ferociousness!
"Wait a minute!" Xu Qian was extremely frightened. He knew that if he didn't work hard, his life would be decided here: "My lord, there is something fishy, there is something strange there, there is something strange about that painting!"
"Eunuch Wang, that calligraphy is fake! It's a fake!"
Xu Qian was hung in the air by his arms, but in his panic, he saw the scroll in the hall that read "Respect and Be Honest". In his previous life, he was a custodian of a museum, and he also majored in archeology in college. He found the scroll
After something strange happened, my mind suddenly became clear.
This calligraphy is very strange, giving Xu Qian an indescribable feeling from the beginning. The first is the layout of this hall. You must know that eunuchs are also educated, especially many of the guard eunuchs who were released from outside. Most of them are in the palace.
I read books in the inner study, which explains why the prince's hall is very stylish. It's not just because the prince is arty, but because the prince likes this style.
Looking at other calligraphy and paintings, even if they are not works by famous artists, they are at least of average quality.
However, only the most conspicuous calligraphy above the main hall is obviously of a much lower level than other calligraphy and paintings. This does not mean that the calligraphy is not good, it can only be regarded as not too bad. At most, it is at a mid-level level, and besides, it is "respectful, loyal, and good".
These four words always make people feel a little awkward.
This is a very unreasonable move. How could a person who knows calligraphy and painting hang a good calligraphy and painting in a secondary position, but instead hang a very mediocre and inappropriate work in the best position?
There is only one explanation. The meaning of this painting to the prince is extraordinary.
It must have been a noble person who gave this calligraphy to the prince, and the identity of this noble person was very important. After getting it, the prince felt like he had found a treasure, so he hung the calligraphy high as if to show off, to show that he and the person with the calligraphy were showing off.
People have a lot of connections.
If this is the case, it makes sense. The prince wanted to ask for the calligraphy treasure of this noble man, so the noble man wrote the four words "obedience, loyalty, and virtue". How can ordinary people give such an evaluation to the prince? Only this person's identity is extremely valuable.
, the prince did not hesitate to hug someone's thick legs, and when someone wrote a word of being respectful and loyal, he also felt that it was so glorious that he had to post it in the most conspicuous place.
The ferocious smile on Eunuch Wang's face faded a bit, and his expression became suspicious. Seeing that Xu Qian was about to be pulled away, he suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Wait a minute."
Although these eunuchs' henchmen were indifferent to Xu Qian's begging for mercy, they took Wang Gonggong's words as an imperial edict and stopped their actions one after another.
"Bring him back!" Wang Gonggong's eyes narrowed, and his expression was indescribably terrifying.
Xu Qian was brought back to the hall and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he thought the calligraphy was strange, otherwise he would have had to skin himself alive today even if he didn't die.
"What did you say just now? That this calligraphy is a fake?"
Xu Qian took a few deep breaths and said, "Yes, it is indeed a fake. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to check it."
The prince sneered and said, "Is it because you rushed to the doctor because of your illness and deliberately deceived our family?"
This was a deliberate test, Xu Qian said hurriedly: "How dare you deceive me? If you say something wrong, I am willing to be punished."
The prince's expression became more solemn. He pondered for a moment, and then waved to the guards: "Get back."
The guards filed out.
Only Wang Gonggong and Xu Qian were left in the hall.
Xu Qian thought to himself that the prince was too nervous because a piece of calligraphy involved the issue of counterfeiting. However, this further confirmed Xu Qian’s guess that this piece of calligraphy was closely related to the prince. Once word spread, the prince would
affected.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian became energetic and realized that he was saved.
Eunuch Wang glanced at Xu Qian cautiously and said, "How did you tell that this calligraphy was fake?"
Xu Qian said: "It's actually very simple. Under the candlelight in the hall, there is obviously a shadow on this calligraphy."
"Huh?" How did Wang Eunuch know that Xu Qian had seen more genuine and fake items in the museum in his previous life than he had crossed? There were countless ways to identify antiques in later generations. Counterfeit items in this era were simply childish in Xu Qian's opinion.
"Keep talking." Wang Eunuch's face became more and more solemn. He actually left his seat in person, closed an open window, turned around and looked at Xu Qian again, hands behind his back, and said: "If you can't make sense,
, our family will kill you."
"Damn eunuch, can't you change your lines? He always beats and kills, can you be more gentle?" Xu Qian secretly slandered. He didn't dare to show off, and said firmly: "How dare you lie to your father-in-law? In fact, genuine products and fakes are
It’s difficult to tell the difference if you don’t look carefully. The reason why I think this is a fake is because of the shadow under the light. Father, most of the fakes are copied. Since they are copied, the ink is easy to accumulate. In other words, it is a fake.
The ink concentration and thickness of the original are much higher than those of the original, especially for running script. Most people's running script is done in one go, without any delay in the process. This is the biggest difference between the original and the copy."
Wang Gonggong's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but nodded. After all, he was also a eunuch who had read books, and of course he knew a little bit about it. Xu Qian didn't seem to be lying. Most people would not pause in cursive writing, and would often write it in one go.
There is only one layer of ink on the surface. But the fakes are different. The fakes need to be outlined repeatedly and even revised, so the thickness and concentration of the ink are often much higher than the real ones. This theory may sound very novel, but if you think about it seriously
, I also think it makes sense.
Xu Qian added: "If you look at it from a distance, you can't tell the difference between the original and the fake, but under the shadow of a lamp, in the eyes of an expert, there are traces. Because there is not much ink on the original, after the ink dries, it will appear under the lamp."
When you look at it, there are not many shadows. However, because the ink on the fake is thicker and thicker, even after it dries, the shadows are often clearer than the original. My father-in-law, look at this calligraphy. The ink is so thick, it can be seen that it must have been copied. If my father-in-law is
If you don’t believe it, you’ll know after you take it off and take a look.”
The prince was in a dilemma at this time. He was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, take down this word."
"Me?" Xu Qian cursed in his heart, you have so many scoundrels in your house, but you want me to get it, why don't you get it yourself?
But as soon as Xu Qian's mind turned around, he understood immediately.
Just now, the prince dismissed everyone, which means that the calligraphy is very important. If the calligraphy was really lost, the prince did not want more people to know. But let him pick up the calligraphy in person, and with his status, he would naturally
It's disgraceful. And Xu Qian is right below. Who knows if Xu Qian will attack in secret.
That's why he asked Xu Qian to get the calligraphy banner, which was both a precaution and a way to save himself energy.
Xu Qian had to obey his orders. Now he was the fish and the prince was the kitchen knife. Xu Qian was not afraid of talking nonsense with others, but he was afraid of the kitchen knife.
So Xu Qian obediently took a stool and put it on some desks under the wall. He climbed up on the stool and took off the calligraphy. He spread it on the table, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put the framed picture on the outside of the calligraphy.
As soon as the paper was torn, the prince next to him saw it and said angrily: "You dare to tear apart my father-in-law's handwriting before I can tell the truth from the false?"
He almost let something slip and quickly used the words "my father-in-law" to make amends.
