About three years ago, the original "Tang Lion Screen" was auctioned at Christie's in Hong Kong, and the bidder at that time was none other than Shi Jingsheng, Shi Lei's father.

It is said that afterwards, another bidder took advantage of three glasses of wine to lower his stomach and said a very intriguing sentence during the banquet: "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, how did the lion father give birth to stones?" Sure enough, people who do big things have really unusual stomachs, and they don't mind taking home such paintings. ”

This sentence caused an uproar for a while, causing everyone to secretly discuss - many people think that the so-called "lion father gave birth to a stone" is a satire of the Shi family father and son.

This starts with the original form of the creation of "Tang Lion".

The image of the lion was introduced to the Wa Kingdom as early as the Tang Dynasty, and was usually represented as a bodhisattva mount in Buddhist paintings, reflecting the majesty of the Buddha. During the Momoyama period, Kano Eitoku separated this exotic animal from Buddhist paintings and made his originally docile Buddha mount extremely fierce, and it is believed that his painting of the mighty king of beasts is an allusion to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the "first man in the world" at the time.

And Toyotomi Hideyoshi, although he has a son, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, has been rumored from ancient times to the present that Hideyoshi is not his biological father, and many people believe that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is sterile at all.

Naturally, this argument is not groundless.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a full amorous species, in addition to the main wife, there are countless women, not counting the "wild food", there are 15 wives who have entered the house alone, but there are no children under his knees for many years, but among his women, there are many women who have had reproductive experience, such as the side room Kyogoku Ryuko, and even some women remarried after leaving Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Therefore, when Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to the side room tea and tea for two yuan, and finally got a son Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the age of fifty-six, people thought that it was just a "green hat suspicion".

Coincidentally, Shi Jingsheng has also been rumored to be suffering from infertility.

Ten years ago, Shi Jingsheng and his wife officially divorced, before that, the two had been fifteen years old husband and wife, but they had been weak on their knees, but his wife had given birth to a son only one year after remarrying.

Moreover, like Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Shi Jingsheng is also a player with a foreign name, and even if the nameless wildflowers are excluded, there are four public wives in addition to the legal wife.

Such a character, even at the age of forty, has no self, and when his wife remarried and had a child in the state of an advanced maternal age, the rumors of Shi Jingsheng's infertility suddenly became more boiling than ever.

On that cusp, Shi Jingsheng brought Shi Lei, who was twelve years old at the time, to everyone and publicly admitted that Shi Lei was an illegitimate child.

Shi Jingsheng said that he chose to conceal the illegitimate child in order to consider his wife's feelings in the past, and now he is separated from his ex-wife Lao Yan, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

However, Shi Jingsheng has never disclosed Shi Lei's biological mother, so many people are still skeptical about Shi Lei's life experience.

Against this backdrop, when one hears "How the lion father gave birth to a stone?" and then looks at the picture of the two lions marching majestically in the hills, everything changes tone.

Mu An listened to Fang Ting's words, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, in this way, the "Tang Lion Screen" is the reverse scale of the Shi family's father and son, what kind of mood did Tong Ling draw this picture in?

"It was almost three years ago that Tong Ling's mother took her to remarry, and it was not as Shi Jingsheng's fifth aunt, but as the wife of a famous media." Fang Ting continued to add.

Mu An frowned, he had heard of this matter for a long time, after all, it was really a strange thing. It is said that as soon as the marriage news came out, many media rushed to dig out the details of Tong Ling's mother and daughter, but they got nothing, and the peerless beauties of one big and one small were like fictional characters that appeared out of thin air.

The first strange thing is that Tong Ling's mother and daughter have no idea where to start, and what is even more strange is that a big family like the Shi family actually let a woman of unknown origin drag her family to become the rightful Mrs. of the Shi family.

Why, exactly? Is it the bad taste of the rich?

"You must also be thinking, no matter how beautiful that woman is, Shi Jingsheng doesn't need to marry her home, right?" Fang Ting looked at Mu An with burning eyes.

Mu An was about to be guided by Fang Ting to another issue, but Ji An, who had nothing to do with it, had a clearer mind.

Ji An regained his main consciousness, shook his finger and said, "This matter is very strange, but it is not the point. We don't need to know why Shi Jingsheng married Tong Ling's mother. Now the question is, is it an accident that Tong Ling would paint such a painting, or does it have another meaning? ”

Ji An thought for a while, and then said: "I have a bold assumption: maybe Shi Lei is really not Shi Jingsheng's biological son as others say. Tong Ling knew about this, and she drew a picture as a hint to tell another person - that person was my cousin Shen Baixian. Think about it, if the two of them knew each other in the first place, they wouldn't have to use the code so hard. So, most likely, they never met directly. ”

Ji An remembered that Tong Ling had said that the kiss was a misunderstanding last night, so it was very likely that Tong Ling had mistaken him for Shen Baixian because of the hand-drawing on the notebook.

If those two people don't know each other, but use a painting as a memorial, it is very likely that they are the relationship between the "master" and the "devil" that Fang Ting said.

Inferring to this point, Ji An took out the recognition map drawn by Fang Ting for him last time, and once he finally understood the mystery: from the glyph, an apple plus a horizontal bar in the air, plus a leaf, just put together a "stone" character, the "3" in the middle is three stones, three stones, isn't it "Lei"?

Shiller!

Fang Ting's "master" is Shi Lei, that is to say, that day, Shi Lei not only successfully stole the real diamond and turned it into a phoenix, but also staged a scene of thieves shouting and catching thieves.

There is no common reversal in detective dramas, and the mastermind behind the scenes is not a passerby with no sense of existence, but Shi Lei, who has been unpleasant to Mu An from the beginning.

Ji An sorted out all the clues, and became more and more convinced of his assumptions: Tong Ling knew that Shi Lei was not the son of the casino tycoon Shi Jingsheng, and told her about the "Devil" she had never met, and the notebook that Tong Ling inadvertently opened that day not only made her mistake Mu An for her cousin Shen Baixian, but even Shi Lei misunderstood, so she did everything possible to kill all the people who knew her secrets.

In other words, Mu An inadvertently became Shen Baixian's scapegoat.

Just when Ji An felt that he had figured out the mystery, Mu An's mobile phone vibrated in time, and the caller ID on it was - "cousin".
