Chapter 436: The Scapegoat

"You must have been involved in this, but it's definitely not you. Xu Qingliu looked at the young man and said with certainty, "So, as long as you tell me the truth of the matter and how you did it, I will arrange a place for you to live, and let you eat and drink without worry." ”

The boy's eyes were instantly filled with light, but soon the light dimmed.

I saw the young man stretch out his hand and said to Xu Qingliu: "Then, you give me 10,000 yuan first, in case you regret it, I can still have 10,000 yuan to live temporarily for a while." ”

Xu Qingliu didn't say anything when he saw this, just smiled and nodded, and quickly went to the bank to withdraw 20,000 yuan in cash and put it in the young man's hand.

"I only need 10,000 yuan. ”

The young man counted the money, returned the other 10,000 yuan to Xu Qingliu's hands, and finally, stuffed the money into his arms and patted it again, as if he was afraid that the money would fall.

"Okay, now I can tell you. The young man took a few steps back, as if he was ready to run away at any time if Xu Qingliu repented, "This auction looks like a private auction, but in fact, as long as they find more than 10 million landscapes and figure paintings, they will let me use the pen, ink, paper and inkstone they have already prepared in the background to draw a high-quality imitation picture in half an hour." As long as I draw one, give me 10,000 dollars. ”

When Shen Yizhi heard the young man say this, he couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said: "Young man, you are not young, you are an adult! No matter how good your painting is, it is still difficult to completely imitate the famous works of your ancestors. ”

"I didn't lie to you!" said the young man unconvinced, "even if you give me a painting of Tang Yin now, I can paint you exactly the same one in an hour." ”

Shen Yizhi saw that the young man's face was full of seriousness, and then thought that every time there was a problem in the auction, it was indeed some landscape paintings and figure paintings, and he couldn't help but increase the credibility of what the young man said in front of him.

Xu Qingliu naturally believed what the young man said.

He smelled a lot of ink on this young man's body, and only people who have been in contact with ink for a long time will have such a smell on his body.

Moreover, there were still some traces of colored ink on the boy's hands, which was enough to show that what he said was true.

"Otherwise, then we will prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you, and you can draw a painting that you are best at for us to see, okay?"

In the face of Xu Qingliu's words, it was probably because Xu Qingliu was willing to give him money. So, after thinking about it for a while, the boy agreed.

Huang Ningxin also thought it was impossible at first, how could such a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child paint such a high-quality painting that could almost hide from everyone?

However, just when Xu Qingliu prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the boy to draw at will.

In less than an hour, Mr. Kanyu's painting, which had been sold, appeared in front of their eyes again.

"This is really amazing!" Huang Ningxin said in surprise, "How can you have such a bullish ability at such a young age!"

While eating what Xu Qingliu bought for him, the young man said indifferently: "This is nothing at all, I was sensitive to painting when I was very young. I was able to draw all the paintings that I had looked at a few times, whether it was a figure or a landscape, as quickly as possible. ”

"Then, can you tell which paintings are fake?" Xu Qingliu saw that the young man was very confident, so he asked, "If you can see which paintings are fake, I will give you another 10,000 yuan." ”

The young man became excited for a while, nodded directly and said, "Of course you can! This is very simple! Let's say it first, don't regret it when the time comes!"

Xu Qingliu smiled and said confidently: "Of course I won't regret it." ”

The next day, the boy got up early in the morning, and when Xu Qingliu got up, he was already sitting in the living room, and he had even bought breakfast.

"I didn't expect you to get up so early!" Xu Qingliu yawned while nibbling on fritters and looked at the young man and said, "Aren't you sleepy? I saw you sleeping late last night." ”

The young man shook his head excitedly and said, "As soon as I think of being able to earn 10,000 yuan from you today, I can't sleep with excitement." You hurry up and eat, and after eating, we will go to the antique street. ”

"By the way, I don't know what your name is!" Xu Qingliu said while eating, "I can't call you one bite at a time!"

"I don't have a name!" said the boy unconcernedly, "and they call me hey when I go to work." You can come as you like, I don't care, it's just a title. ”

This is something Xu Qingliu didn't expect.

"Then, I'll call you ink dyeing. Xu Qingliu looked at the young man's delicious food and said, "Have you ever thought about how you should go in the future?"

Mo Ran drank a cup of soy milk in one go, looked at Xu Qingliu and pondered for a moment before saying, "Didn't you say it?

"I can't keep you for the rest of my life. Xu Qingliu looked at him and said, "Even if I can take care of your food and drink, you don't have to spend money on what you wear yourself?" In case I am killed by my enemy, who do you expect to take care of your eating and drinking again?"

Hearing Xu Qingliu say this, Mo Ran was slightly stunned for a while, he looked at Xu Qingliu, hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you have a lot of enemies?"

"It's not a lot, but if you mix in any line, you will inevitably offend people. Xu Qingliu said indifferently, "After all, if we live in this world, we will offend people, right?"

That's right, but listening to Xu Qingliu say these words so calmly, Mo Ran still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Okay, let's talk about you!" Xu Qingliu was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth and looked at him and said, "How did you get to work there?"

After thinking about it carefully, Mo Ran said, "I don't know how I got there, I only know one thing, and that is that I was originally a vagabond, with amnesia. I don't have any memories of my own, and finally I was picked up by them, and I was just doing chores, giving me 3,000 a month, including food and shelter. Then, until they discovered my talent for drawing, they let me do it. ”

But that's fine.

Xu Qingliu thought so in his heart and didn't speak.

He doesn't care what the person's origin is, he only cares about what the person's character is.

So, I specially tested it last night and gave 20,000 yuan to see if he was greedy.

It's okay, I kept my nature and only took the money I was supposed to take.

I have said so much to myself so frankly today, I don't think there will be any fake. After all, this thing, as long as he asked the two young masters of the Shen family to investigate, he could know whether it was true or false, and there was no need for him to lie.

"So, are you really not remembering anything?"

Xu Qingliu saw that after Mo Ran thought about it carefully, he shook his head and was sure that he couldn't think of anything, so he didn't ask any more.

In short, there is no point in asking more questions now, it is better to arrange him as soon as possible.

In the antique street, Xu Qingliu bought a few paintings at random, and asked the little brother of the Shen family to buy a few at random.

Then, ten paintings were placed in front of the ink dye.

"Ink dye, how many of these ten paintings are real and how many are fake, we don't know ourselves. So, it's all up to you. ”

Shen Ziming didn't quite understand why Xu Qingliu did this, he took advantage of the fact that Mo Ran was looking at the paintings, pulled Xu Qingliu out, looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Just name an orphan, you still spent so much money to buy so many paintings to show him." ”

"I'm helping you find a treasure connoisseur!" Xu Qingliu patted Shen Ziming's shoulder and smiled, "You think, although he doesn't understand anything." However, his tricks are very vicious, that is, if you can see the authenticity of the painting. So, didn't your Shen family make money?"

Shen Ziming heard Xu Qingliu say this, although he felt strange, he didn't say anything.

He knew that Xu Qingliu was not a random person, but could such a young boy really be able to do things they didn't expect?

I saw the young man take a magnifying glass and look at each painting carefully, then smell it carefully, and finally touch it with his hand.

"Of the ten paintings, only one is real. ”
