The more Jiang Gu saw these calligraphy and paintings, the more frightened he became. Because of Fu Yueming's relationship, he heard a lot about the calligraphy and painting trade in Qingdu.
Some people do not hesitate to use various means to get the paintings they want, so it is common for paintings to be stolen from their homes. The most famous one is the "Snowstorm and Ice Desert", a high-quality painting from the Prefecture.
This painting is said to have the strongest attack power among fine paintings. It had been stolen several years ago. Unexpectedly, it is now being collected in the studio.
The charm of this painting is restrained, and even through the paper figures, you can still feel the wind and coldness leaking out of the painting.
"Baby, they are all treasures." Jiang Yan drooled after seeing them.
No wonder none of the stolen paintings can be recovered. These paintings were sent here after being stolen, and they are basically stolen goods.
Every wooden shelf in this stone room holds rare treasures, but there is only a piece of paper placed on the wooden table in the center!
Jiang Yan just saw the corner of this piece of paper protruding from the table, and he couldn't look away anymore. There were many calligraphy and paintings by famous people in the stone room, but the total of them might not be worth this piece of paper!
"My God, this is the best Five Clouds Quicksand Note"
"what?"
"There are three most famous drawing papers in Yuling Continent, and the second one is Wuyun Quicksand Paper.
Silk and hemp fields are widely planted on both sides of a dangerous area in the Jingshui River. When the water flows through, the silk and hemp on the shore will be washed away, and the silk and hemp will be salvaged from a narrow outlet a hundred miles later.
The paper made of this kind of silk and linen has natural patterns formed by the erosion of water. It is like clouds and as delicate as water. Only a dozen sheets are produced every year. I used to have one, which was given to me by my half-hearted master.
.
The cloud pattern on the Five-Cloud Quicksand Paper is made by nature. The general Five-Cloud Quicksand Paper only has two clouds and three clouds. A little more and four clouds is the limit. But this is the best Five-Cloud Quicksand Paper, even if it is ten years old
There may not be one.
The number one paper only exists in legends, so this top-quality Five Clouds Quicksand can also be said to be the number one drawing paper in the world."
"That's a treasure," Zuko said.
While the two were talking, the little paper man stretched out his arm from the gap and waved at Jiang Yan. Then Jiang Yan and Su Kou saw a corner of a piece of paper with cloud patterns peeking out from the gap.
Jiang Yan's heart was beating fast. He pulled it out and found that it was really the Five Clouds Quicksand Note.
As soon as he held this piece of paper in his hand, Jiang Gu felt a cool and soft feeling coming from the paper, as if his hand was put into running water. This paper was woven with fine silk threads, and the spiritual power was
After injecting it, the paper sparkles with aura.
"Jiang Yan, aren't we stealing something?" Su Kou asked.
"I...I don't know either..." Jiang Yan felt aggrieved. "Besides, how can a scholar's affairs be described as stealing?"
"If you don't have this intention, what can the paper man do?"
Jiang Yan just thought for a moment, if only he had such paper. Unexpectedly, the little paper man actually pulled it out. Now the little paper man is akimbo and looking up, as if you need to praise me.
appearance.
"Since you don't have the intention, then send it back to others?" Zuko asked tentatively.
"It's stolen property anyway. I don't know what harm will happen if it falls into the hands of these thieves. Why don't I save it for the owner first? Think about it, I helped him find such a valuable thing, if he doesn't give me half of it
Are you sorry for me? Is there such a bad person?"
No painter can resist the temptation of top-quality colored stone paint and painting paper. Leaving this painting paper here is not only a waste of natural resources, but also the top-quality Wuyun Quicksand is extremely rare. You can find the owner just by returning to the Qing capital and asking around.
The other paintings have been framed and scrolled and cannot be taken out, but he is also ready to tell the people in the Wenfu that no matter what, he cannot let so many treasures fall into the hands of thieves and be used to harm the world.
"Jiang Yan, is this really appropriate?"
Su Kou, besides being fond of killing people and poisoning, was generally a good person. Jiang Qian also felt that it was not appropriate to do so, so he stood firm.
"Since you're not at ease, let's leave our names, lest people say I took them without telling you."
"fair enough"
Jiang Gu took out the pen and paper from the bookcase and wrote a few strokes.
"Li Youlang, come here for a visit!"
Su Kou was a little speechless. He didn't know that Li Youlang was the unlucky guy, but every time Jiang Yan did something bad in Qing Dynasty, he always got this name!
The two of them continued to follow the man deeper. At the end of the secret passage, they not only saw light but also heard the sound of water. This secret passage was actually connected to a semi-open cave.
Almost all the rivers in Yunzhou have dried up, but the waterfalls in Lishan cave are still full of water.
This cave is very large and can accommodate nearly a hundred people. Most of these people are wearing swords. Many of them are drinking wine and eating meat in the cave. There are also many women who have just been robbed in the cages next to them. These people
There were still tears on her face.
"It's better for these two sheep to be younger. The taste is really tender. Come and try it."
A gangster threw a large piece of meat on the dinner plate to the person opposite. The person took it and ate it heartily, praising it while eating.
“If it weren’t for this lean year, I wouldn’t have known there was such delicious food!”
"Wine, meat, and women, hahahaha, this is what I want to do as a robber."
"What is a two-legged sheep?" Zuko asked in a low voice.
When these three words fell into Jiang Gu's ears, Jiang Gu searched around the cave. Sure enough, when he saw a dark corner of the cave, his face instantly darkened.
There were many people tied with iron chains to the stone wall and fished in mid-air. These people had been dead for who knows how long. Every fleshy part of their bodies had been picked off, and the largest number of them were actually children!
Not far from these people, there was a pot lit on fire, and next to it were many empty skeletons of boiled bones!
Originally, Jiang Qian was a little curious. All parts of Yunzhou had lost crops due to drought, but these Lishan bandits were nourished by wine and meat. Now he could guess at a glance what kind of human tragedy happened here.
"That's a two-legged sheep."
"vomit…."
Even Zuko felt retching after reading it.
"These people deserve to die!"
Jiang Yan frowned. In his opinion, the lowest point for a human being is not to eat the same kind of people. These villains in front of him were no longer even human beings.
"Is Zuko sure?"
If he wants to eradicate all these people without letting anyone go, he still can't do it with his methods, but there is a person beside him who is good at using poison.
"This place is too big. If poison can be released in multiple places at the same time, I am 80% sure," Su Kou said.
"I'm good at this"
Three or four little paper figures poked their heads out of Jiang Yan's sleeves and looked around, then followed their fingers to the ground and performed a set of fitness moves.
The largest of these little paper figures are no more than the size of a finger, so they are easy to hide, not to mention that the cave is not very tightly guarded.
"It's time to get to work!"
Su Kou took out four porcelain bottles of different colors and placed them on the ground. The little paper figures each picked up one and burrowed into the grass beside them.
