The old man took me back to the big villa, and along the way, I was silent, and my aggrieved expression was unobstructed.

"Yo, I think it's unreliable to be a teacher, and I'm scolding me in my heart, right? Tell you, seeing that you were beaten on purpose, Lao Tzu deliberately deceived you for the first time, and you were caught up by someone for the first time when you cheated, don't go out and say that it's my Huang Laosan's apprentice!"

The old man also began to blow his nose and glare, and finally his neck was crossed, and he sneered: "I just want you to suffer a loss, and you will remember the lesson in your heart!"

As soon as I heard it, I was upset, and then I blushed and lowered my head, and tears the size of beans rolled down one by one.

It's me who doesn't have the ability, it's me who is stupid!

"Okay, the three-foot man will cry when he says he will cry, can you still be a little promising?"

The old man slammed his fist on my head.

Half an hour later, the Mercedes-Benz driver parked the car in the old man's villa compound, opened the door, and drove away, and I was taken by the old man into the villa, turned left and right, the old man took me into the study, I don't know which switch on the table was pressed, and there was a secret room passage.

I've been to the old man's house hundreds of times, but I didn't find this secret room, and my eyes widened suddenly.

"Follow me. ”

The old man's tone was a little serious, and he glanced at me and motioned for me to follow.

After passing through a ten-meter winding staircase, I soon saw a huge secret room, surrounded by bookcases, very brightly lit, on the table, on the floor, there was a large metal box, and a safe.

"Tell me, what stupid things have you done?"

The old man sat straight to the sofa, picked up the Moutai on the table, and poured himself a glass, and at the same time poured me a glass.

"Have a glass of wine, settle down, and suppress the shock. ”

I took a sip of the liquor, and my throat was instantly spicy, but it was strange to say, after a glass of liquor, I seemed to be much more awake and my spirit was relieved.

"That's ......"

I told me about the deception, and finally I was very unwilling to say: "I just didn't figure it out, how did that guy see it?"

"Yo, do you really think you're very clever?"

The old man laughed when he heard this, took a sip of liquor, shook his head, and said in a tone of admonition: "Even if your kid inherits some of my skills, I'll tell you about it." ”

"If you want to deceive someone, you must do three things, layout, set, and net. ”

"Do you think you're very clever in this game? Do you do a good job of detailing? From Zhao Shirong sending someone to follow you to the hospital, to using the canvas for testing, etc., there is nothing suspicious? No, no, no, from the beginning, you made a big mistake!" The old man laughed, as if he was laughing at me, making my face red.

"This can't be!" I slammed my fist on the table, unconvinced: "I was tricked by him, blame me for not having enough experience, I will never do it again next time!"

"No, from the beginning to the end, he always knew that the painting was a fake, and the reason why you were asked to go every other day was just to finalize it, or to play you a trick, so to speak, this is a very careful fellow. ”

As he spoke, the old man spread out my fake famous painting, just glanced at it, and then he was happy: "Yo, are you looking for this "landscape" oil painting painted by Professor Chen Tianlun from the Academy of Fine Arts?"

What the!

I was stunned when I heard this, and I took a few steps backwards, my mouth opened wide, and I lost my voice: "Old man, you sent someone to follow me?"

"Tracking?" The old man shook his head disdainfully, and said with a smile: "I guessed from the style characteristics of this painting that you found Chen Tianlun to paint this painting." ”

"Silly, huh?"

Seeing that I was in a state of despair, the old man laughed: "So, you are too underestimated, it is undeniable that Chen Tianlun imitates Lin Fengmian's painting skills, and there are eight or nine points of resemblance, but do you know? Every painter, no matter how much he imitates, will have his own style, and Zhao Shirong is a dignified art critic, and he has seen tens of thousands of paintings, or even more! As for some painters in this city, how could he not have studied them?"

"So, from the moment you came to the door with this fake, Zhao Shirong could see at a glance that this painting was fake!

"You, you, you're still too tender!"

The old man's words, like the sharpest sickle, cut my heart apart at once, and I hung my head like a mourner, and my body trembled all the time.

And the old man's words continued to attack me like a sharp weapon.

"I don't understand? He knew it was fake early in the morning, so why did he deliberately perfunctory you and let you come to trade with a fake painting the next day? Hehe!"

The old man changed his words and sneered: "Don't forget, he opens a gallery, and it is easy to dodge with open guns, but difficult to defend against hidden arrows." He has real skills, but he can't prevent them from being everywhere! You came to the door this time, although the means were clumsy, but how could an ordinary teenager think of it? Zhao Shirong also thought of this, so it is naturally not difficult for him to guess that someone behind you is arranging it, and if next time, someone comes to the door and comes to trap him with a fake?"

"I see! He deliberately asked me to come the next day, but in fact he was preparing, and he was going to take my nest in one fell swoop, no, he ......."

I suddenly turned pale, raised my head and just wanted to say that Zhao Shirong would definitely send someone to follow me, but when I saw the old man's treacherous and cunning expression, and thought of the driver Lao Hei going around a few laps along the way, I suddenly realized!

Then, I sighed bitterly and buried my head deeply.

"That guy is alert, but if he wants to touch my Huang Laosan's door, he is not worthy. ”

The next moment, the old man lifted the old cigarette gun domineeringly, and stared at me with a smile as if he was squeezing out of his teeth.

"Master, I was wrong. ”

At this moment, I really realized how stupid I was, and I showed a look of shame.

"What's wrong with you? It's Zhao Shirong's kind of person who is wrong!"

Suddenly, the old man stood up excitedly, his eyes were red, and he stared straight at me.

"Master......"

"Xiao Feng, do you know who I am?"

I nodded, looked at him embarrassedly, and muttered, "When I was a child, the people in the neighborhood committee said that you are a liar and have been in prison!"

"Yes, I'm a liar, but I'm no ordinary liar. ”

The old man showed a disdainful expression and shouted: "Don't compare me with those little thieves, I am a big liar, and I am the master of a thousand deception altars!"

"Qianmen, the altar of deception?" I was shocked.

"Yes, a thousand doors is a deception, the orthodox thousand doors, gambling out of a thousand mainly, but for the teacher, the real number of thousands of doors is unique, the status is different, even the master of a thousand doors, see me as a teacher, but also treat each other with courtesy. ”

The old man sneered and said randomly: "The deception altar was first born in the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, there were eight generals and eight generals in Qianmen. Among them, the upper eight generals are divided into positive generals, promotion generals, anti-generals, detached generals, wind generals, fire generals, except generals and rumor generals!"

"The general is to start the account with a thousand skills, that is, the host of the gambling game, and other generals also have their own wonderful uses, and our deception altar is derived on the basis of the two generals. ”

"Do you remember what I told you on the first day I accepted you as an apprentice?"

My mind fluctuated, and I blurted out in an instant: "Old man, you said that you have deceived all your life, but you have never deceived the weak, never deceived the cornered, never deceived the kind, and never deceived the people who should not be deceived!"

After hearing the words, the old man nodded again and again, and his mood was also comfortable, and he said proudly: "That's right, the old man, I am a liar, but I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason!"

"Zhao Shirong's guy, relying on a certain status in the art world, I don't know how many cucumber girls he has taken advantage of, but none of the victims dare to call the police, hehe, the old man has lived for a long time, but he can't look down on such a dirty person!"

I suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say, "Master, this is the so-called thief and there is a way, right?"

"!"

The old man slapped me, I dodged in a panic, and then looked at him with a look of grievance, and saw him roll his eyes: "Old man, if I preach, what kind of liar are I doing? The reason why I set a rule and don't deceive people who shouldn't be deceived is because of ......."

"Because of what?" I stared at the master with bright eyes, and at that moment there seemed to be a light on the master's body, which made me very excited.

"Because I'm afraid of retribution!"

Unexpectedly, the old man's next sentence made me lose all my strength, and I sat down speechless.

Come on, I'm so stupid, I know there's an old liar in front of me, what else can I expect!

"Okay, I leaked the bottom with you today, so I'll ask you, do you want to see people like Zhao Shirong suffer retribution?"

"Yes!"

I nodded without saying a word.

Thinking that Lily was deceived by him, the anger in my heart was so angry that I slashed his heart alive!

"If you want it, then let's continue to lie to him in this game!"

The old man sat back on the couch and exhaled a puff of smoke comfortably.

"Huh?"

For a long time, I shook my head in frustration and said with a wry smile: "Old man, don't laugh, after this time, Zhao Shirong, that bastard, where will he obediently enter the game?"

"I know master, you also like to paint on weekdays, but your level doesn't seem to be much higher than mine, right? Let's deceive him with fake famous fakes, hehe, where is it so easy!"

"Hehe, do you know what kind of identity he has for him other than opening a gallery and buying and selling painters' works?"

"Art critic?" I quickly responded.

Yes, the reason why Zhao Shirong made the gallery prosperous is largely due to his identity, his comments are very sharp, and he has a certain status in the domestic art world. The old man flashed and continued to ask me, "Do you know what this means?"

"I understand, as long as Zhao Shirong says that a painting is real, it is true! If it is false, it is fake!" I exclaimed.

"That's right, the art thing is so nonsense, not to mention what painting style and painting skills, what carbon element identification, as long as you want to fake, where can't you succeed? So now on the market, some experts are very popular, and the artwork identified by them, as long as it is said to be true, the value of the artwork will immediately skyrocket! But in fact, is the expert's words really credible?"

The old man sneered.

"Then master, how can we lie to him?"

"It's very simple, fakes can't get through, let's take the real thing!" The old man burst into light and smiled: "For an art practitioner like Zhao Shirong, what is the most glorious thing?"

"What is it?"

"It is better to discover a genius painter similar to Van Gogh, Monet and others, who is famous enough to pass on history!"
