"I've met again today!" Yan Qing said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Xinrong was about to ask Sister Yan what she had encountered again? She opened the picture scroll and looked at it, and her delicate appearance suddenly changed greatly.
He asked, "Sister Yan, where did you meet him?" So what are we waiting for? If we catch this person, we will be sentenced to a felony."
"Don't worry!" Yan Qing was busy with the work in hand, got up and smiled and said: "I bought this painting back with money, I have made an appointment with that side, and I will buy another painting in the afternoon, they can't run away today."
"That's good!" Fang Xinrong relieved herself, and then asked, "Do we want to tell Senior Brother about this in advance?"
"I have to say it!" Yan Qing asked, "What about the little fishman?"
"It's time to go to the back hall with Aunt Li, I'll call her!" Fang Xinrong said, and went to the back hall.
She called Xiaoyu over, and Yan Qing instructed her to go to the county Chengfu to pass on Gonggongzi, and said that he would take someone to Baitang Lane as soon as possible.
Xiaoyu understood and hurried away.
As soon as she left, Yan Qing and Fang Xinrong greeted Aunt Li, and the two went straight to Baitang Lane. When they arrived, there was no trace of the stall and the son.
"Sister Yan?" Fang Xinrong looked at the empty alley, even Sister Yan was deceived.
"It's really cunning!" Yan Qing thought that her method would be foolproof, but she was also calculated, but she always felt that there must be a mastermind behind the man who sold paintings.
Her apologetic counterpart said happily: "Sister Xinrong, I'm sorry for you, let you run away with me for nothing"
"It's okay, Sister Yan!" Fang Xinrong thought of the person who stole and sold the fakes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Forgive him for the day when he is cunning, he will be negligent, as long as they are still in Lan'an for a day, we are not afraid that we will not be able to catch them."
"You're right!" the two reassured each other.
Gong Wenshen also rushed over, he heard Xiaoyu say that there were clues to the case of stealing and selling fakes, he hurried over, and saw that Xiaoqing and his junior sister were already waiting for him here.
He walked up to the two of them and asked, "Xiaoqing, junior sister, what clues have you found?"
Yan Qing glanced at him and said apologetically: "I bumped into someone who stole Mr. Wei's paintings and calligraphy here at noon, and I couldn't do it alone, so I made an appointment with him to come back to buy paintings in the afternoon." It was my lack of thought and my mistake. I should have watched right here and told them to go to you and get the money."
"It's nothing!" Gong Wenshen comforted her: "The master behind the scenes is very cunning, as long as they sell a painting in one place, they will not stay here for long, I have arranged eyeliner to monitor the streets and alleys of Lan'an."
"Well, that's good!" Yan Qing felt that now, if he wanted to catch the person who stole and sold calligraphy and paintings as soon as possible, this was the safest way.
The group of them returned to the art gallery, and Su Jin went to the Wei Mansion to deliver paintings, and he had just returned.
"Brother Gong!" he smiled and walked up to Gong Wenshen, seeing that there seemed to be something wrong with the expressions of several people, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't rush to ask.
"Brother Su Xian!" Gong Wenshen smiled at him, then looked at Xiao Qing and his junior sister and said, "Okay, I don't blame you for this matter, Xiao Qing, do you remember what that person looks like?"
"Remember!" Yan Qingdao.
"Okay, since you remember, let's go upstairs and talk about it!" Gong Wenshen said, and went up to the second floor first.
"Lady?" Su Jin was worried about her.
Yan Qing looked at him and smiled: "I'm fine! It's for the matter of stealing and selling Mr. Wei's calligraphy and paintings, I bumped into the person who stole and sold the fake again, but I was negligent and let them run away, you go up first! I'll go get the fake painting."
"Hmm!" Su Jin nodded and went upstairs first.
Fang Xinrong waited for Sister Yan to finish the painting before going upstairs with her.
Aunt Li and Xiaoyu were left in the hall to watch the gallery.
They sat around the table, and Su Jin called Uncle Feng to sit together.
Yan Qing began to paint the portrait of the man today, she had just drawn a human face, which made Feng Zicheng, who was sitting beside him, understand, and asked, "Mrs. Su, why did you draw the portrait of this person?"
When he asked, Gong Wen and Su Jin glanced at each other, and Gong Wen Shen asked him, "Does Mr. know this person?"
"Heh! I can't talk about acquaintance!" he said, he sighed and said: "A while ago, Feng bought a painting from this person, and he was going to use the money to buy the four treasures of the study and the family, but I didn't expect to meet him on the street, and I was moved by his words, so I spent all the silver to buy a painting of flowers and birds by Mr. Wei..."
He still felt sad, and he continued: "Feng took Mr. Wei's painting to the calligraphy and painting museum, and he wanted to sell it to make more money, but he never thought that it would be a fake."
"What did you say to you?
Feng Zicheng smiled self-deprecatingly: "He said that he was a slave of the Wei Mansion, and he stole these paintings out of the mansion and sold them.
Gong Wenshen listened to the persuasion and said: "Mr. Feng doesn't have to blame himself, it's not that you are confused, but the person who steals and sells fakes is too cunning, I also checked for some days, and then I had to think of a way to lay down the eyeliner, this person's behavior of stealing and selling calligraphy and painting is really hateful, and when the master behind the scenes is caught, he will not be spared, Mr. Feng can rest assured, your silver will be returned to you in full."
"Thank you so much, Childe!" Feng Zicheng thanked politely.
Yan Qing painted the portrait, dried the ink and put it away, handed it to Gong Wenshen, and left two days after he took the painting.
This afternoon.
Su Jin and Yan Qing took the painters to see the paintings in the gallery, and Fang Xinrong followed Uncle Feng to learn to paint on the second floor.
Hongsheng came to the gallery, saw Mr. Su and Mrs. Su everywhere, and hurriedly walked to Su Jin's side to tell him.
Yan Qing saw that he was panting and panting, and asked him to go up to the second floor to rest first, and they took the painters to see the paintings, and when they were free, they came to the second floor and asked him what was the matter?
"Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, Miss Fang!" Hongsheng said with a smile: "Childe has found out this morning, the mastermind behind the theft and sale of fakes, his surname is Shi"
"What?surname Shi?" As soon as Fang Xinrong heard the surname Shi, she was angry.
"What's wrong, Miss Fang?" Hongsheng asked her.
Fang Xinrong frowned and said: "Just two days ago, a man surnamed Shi came to the art gallery, I saw him bring a painting in, so I said bluntly, the art gallery should not sell paintings and calligraphy, but he was good, laughing and saying that I spoke lightly, and finally left arrogantly."
Yan Qing had seen all kinds of painters, and with her intuition, she felt that this person did not come to the gallery to buy paintings and calligraphy, but to sell paintings and calligraphy, and she asked Fang Xinrong: "Then his paintings, haven't you seen them?"
"No!" Fang Xinrong nodded.
"That's it! My sister is the same as me, drawing the appearance of the man surnamed Shi, if my guess is correct, Shi Gongzi in my sister's mouth is very likely to be the mastermind behind the theft and sale of fakes!" Yan Qing said, the more certain he became.
"Mmmmmmmmmm
