Xia Gui of the Southern Song Dynasty "Wind and Rain Boat Map", Yuan Wang Zhenpeng's "Aunt Bathing Buddha Picture", Dong Yuan of the Five Dynasties "Pinglin Hail Color Scroll", Northern Song Dynasty's "Monkey Serving Mercury Map", Yuan Dynasty Wu Zhen's "Grass Pavilion Poetry Intent", and so on, a total of more than a dozen picture scrolls, show in front of you.

Even Jin Muchen, who had already acquired many famous paintings before, was once again shocked by these famous paintings in front of him.

Although there are some paintings that have no way of knowing who the author of the painter is, the cultural value and historical value of these paintings are very high.

I have to say that this Shingo Yamamoto is very discerning, and took the opportunity of them to loot the art museum to steal so many good things from the museum, but he definitely didn't expect that in the end, his hard work made wedding clothes for Jin Muchen and them.

Among these paintings, the most famous one is the "Ming Emperor Watching Horses" painted by an unknown author in the Yuan Dynasty, this painting Jin Muchen had also paid attention to before, but because the time was too urgent, he didn't take it away in the end, but he didn't expect this painting to be taken out by Shingo Yamamoto in the end.

The painting is famous because there has been a great deal of controversy about the author of the painting.

According to the introduction of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this painting is a work of the Yuan Dynasty, but some research scholars believe that this painting should actually be the authentic work of Wu Daozi.

Needless to say, Wu Daozi's name is a figure known as the saint of painting in the history of Chinese painting.

He is the founder of the ancient Chinese landscape painting school, the Tang and Song dynasties, and even the Ming and Qing dynasties and modern Chinese paintings. The painting techniques employed. They were all precedents created by him back then.

He himself was a native of the Tang Dynasty. In his early years, his life was relatively miserable, and later after the painting became his own family, he was summoned into the palace by Tang Xuanzong and became a professional royal painter, and even issued a special decree to him that 'you must not paint unless there is an edict', which means that unless the emperor asks you to paint, you can't paint, you are an exclusive painter who only belongs to the emperor.

In this way, it will lead zhì. The works that have been handed down by this painting saint later are very rare.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty fell into weakness, the court was controlled by the eunuchs, and after several wars, many peerless masterpieces in the Daming Palace were lost.

In the later rebellion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the works that Wu Daozi could really pass down were even rarer.

This "Ming Emperor's Horse Viewing Map" is a famous painting recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty that year, which is a picture of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who went to check the horse in person after getting a famous horse.

This painting was painted after the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty. disappeared in the long river of history, and it was in the Yuan Dynasty that it appeared again. It has been collected by many celebrities of the time.

It's just that because the middle age is quite old, no one has dared to conclude that this painting is the genuine painting of Wu Daozi back then, but I have never heard of anyone copying this painting, after all, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, this painting also disappeared.

Later, it was collected by famous artists, circulated until the end of the Qing Dynasty, and then disappeared from the country again because of the chaos, and when it reappeared, it was already hung on the wall of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

As for the experience of the painting in the middle, no one can say clearly.

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, on the other hand, has never directly announced the source of the painting, presumably not by any glorious means.

Later, many scholars researched this painting, and compared the styles of some murals left by Wu Daozi in China, they believed that this painting was the real relic of Wu Daozi.

However, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has never expressed its attitude, and has always maintained an ambiguous attitude as to whether this painting is Wu Daozi's genuine work.

Presumably, it is also because Wu Daozi's authentic works are very rare in existence, so they are afraid that once this painting is identified as genuine, it will attract the Chinese side to recover, so they are reluctant to give this painting carbon 14 identification.

Because the true identity of this painting has not been determined, it was defined by the art museum as an imitation of an unknown painter in the Yuan Dynasty, and it was not placed in the exhibition hall dedicated to storing fine paintings that Jin Muchen patronized that day, which made Jin Muchen miss this painting, but he didn't expect this painting to be made out by Shingo Yamamoto, who had a 'heart'.

But now he can only blame him for being unlucky, cheap Jin Muchen for nothing.

More than a dozen paintings entered the backpack behind Jin Muchen again, and then he suddenly turned his head and smiled evilly at this Yamamoto Shingo, Yamamoto Shingo couldn't help but tremble with fright when he saw him with such a smile.

"Mr. Yamamoto, is that all?"

"Forehead ......"

"I advise you not to play tricks, it seems that you took more than these paintings from the museum, right?"

Jin Muchen's evil smile has turned into a sneer, and in the past few days, he has watched the pictures of the reporters interviewing Shingo Yamamoto several times on the Internet that day.

The loss of the Oriental Department of the Art Museum announced by this guy is not only these things, but also many other treasures.

Shingo Yamamoto knew that it was impossible to hide it from them, so he could only turn around and walk into the vault again with a sad face, but this time before he was about to enter, Jin Muchen slapped him on the shoulder.

"I'll go with you!"

After he finished speaking, he gave Jesse a look, signaling her to watch the gate and not let him play tricks with Yamamoto, Jesse nodded at him, and Yamamoto was already about to cry at this time.

"I'll do the heavy work myself......"

"Less nonsense, hurry."

Jin Muchen didn't want to listen to his nonsense at all, so he directly slapped him in, and then followed behind him with a gun.

The area of this vault is not small, and it can even be said that this should be regarded as a secret room, about three or five square meters, with many small holes in the wall, and it should have been a wine cellar for red wine before, but it was later changed to a vault.

Yamamoto entered inside, and without looking back, he came directly to the wall on the left-hand side, bent down and lifted a wooden box on the ground, and walked out, when he turned back and saw Jin Muchen behind him, he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "It's all here!" ”

"Oh! Is it? ”

Jin Muchen looked at him with a sneer, and then turned around suddenly, this guy is not honest, when he just came in, he led him here, for fear that he would look back at the right side, and even when he was talking to himself, his eyes kept wandering a little, looking behind him.

This shows that he still has good things hidden on his right hand.

Jin Muchen turned around and saw that the wall on the right hand was bare, it was a wooden custom wallboard, but he didn't believe that it was so simple as some wallboards, he looked back at Shingo Yamamoto, and saw this guy, who was trying his best to hide the tension in his eyes at this time, and when he saw him turn around, he actually squeezed out a trace of an ugly smile.

"That's really all there is to it."

"You don't play tricks."

Jin Muchen didn't believe him, and asked Jesse to take this guy out to take a good look, and then he came to the wooden wall on his right, and began to reach out and knock on the wall.

These planks are in the shape of floor strips, and the color must have been ordered in recent years, and the style is very different from the other walls in the room.

Soon in the middle position, Jin Muchen heard something strange, the sound of this wooden board was obviously different from other places, there must be a mystery behind this wooden board.

He reached out and pressed on the other squeezed planks, but he couldn't find the mechanism, and then tried to push the planks again, and sure enough, the plank that didn't sound right sliced open with a clatter, and then revealed the hidden compartment behind the plank.

In this dark compartment, Jin Muchen found two boxes, one box was long and the other was square.

Jin Muchen didn't have time to look at it more, so he put the two boxes into his arms, and then walked out of the secret room, looking at his expression, he knew that he had succeeded.

Shingo Yamamoto is face was dead, and Jesse smiled and motioned him to quickly put down the things in his hand, this guy seemed to have a little love, and threw the box on the desk in front of him with a bang, and there was a sound of gold and iron hitting in the box.

Jin Muchen was furious, and when he stepped forward, he smashed the butt of a gun on this guy's head: "Made, bastard, when you were guarding and stealing, you should have had the inner consciousness of being found by someone. What's going on now? Aren't you afraid of dying suddenly? We don't mind giving you a ride, and we can even help you reunite your family in another world. ”

When Shingo Yamamoto heard Jin Muchen say this, he immediately became honest again, took out the Japanese habits, and gave Jin Muchen and Jesse a big bow.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Everything is here, even my own private collection, you have found out, then it can be regarded as my compensation, I hope you can spare me and my family. ”

"That's good!"

Jin Muchen waved the pistol in his hand and twitched lightly in this guy's face, and when the cold gun hit Shingo Yamamoto's face, this guy woke up from the anger of being robbed just now, and his heart was more fearful.

And Jin Muchen didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, lowered his head and began to check the contents of the box, which couldn't help but be startled.

Nima, in this box, there is a whole box of bronzes, this thing is in the country, but it is a minefield for all collectors, and the amount of things that the state prohibits from circulating by law.

However, although this thing can't be played in China, it is quite popular abroad, and there are even many gringos who like to collect this kind of bronze ware, but I didn't expect this Yamamoto Shingo to secretly get so many from the art museum...... (To be continued......)
