In his doubts, Chen Yi carefully looked at each painting, and suddenly on a painting, he found something wrong, on this painting, there is also a poem inscription, but this poem is not the same title at all.

This painting is a flower and bird, and the poem inscribed on the text is a poem made by Tan Sitong, one of the six gentlemen of Wuxu, the whole poem is as follows, looking at the door to stop thinking about Zhang Jian, and endure death must wait for Du Gen. I smiled at the sky with my horizontal knife, and went to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun.

The name of this poem is called the inscription wall poem in prison, when Tan Sitong was imprisoned due to the Wuxu change, looking back on the past, comparing his own experience with Zhang Jian and Du Gen of the Han Dynasty, using the ancients to express the pride in his heart, Zhang Jian in the poem was retaliated against for exposing the powerful in the court, was wanted, fled abroad, and stayed at the door, many people admired his name and accepted it.

Dugan was ordered to fall to death because he asked the Empress Dowager Deng, who was to listen to the government, to return to the emperor, but because of the mercy of the executor, he was fortunate to escape to death.

The main reason for this poem is that Tan Sitong admires their quality of advocating justice and not being afraid of strong explosions, and introduces them to the same way.

Before the execution, Tan Sitong also shouted a famous sentence that spread all over the world, if you have the intention to kill the thief, you have no power to return to the sky, and you will die as you deserve, quickly and quickly.

A painting of flowers and birds full of vitality, but on it is inscribed such a poem written by Tan Sitong in prison, full of heroic verses, which is really incomprehensible, and has nothing to do with the flowers and birds on the painting.

At the same time, what makes people wonder is that there is no payment on these paintings of He Wenzhi, which is what Chen Yi is most puzzled about.

Looking at this painting that is not on topic. Chen Yi thought in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of the context in which the poem was written. I couldn't help but sink in my heart, this poem is called a wall poem in prison, it is possible that He Wenzhi was imprisoned in prison.

Flower and bird paintings, as well as such an inappropriate poem, except to remind others, Chen Yi can't think of any other possibility, but if he falls into prison in Italy, then it is impossible for Italy not to inform Huaxia. It is even more impossible to let He Wenzhi paint in prison, and then they take it out and sell it.

It's just that, whether there is a prison sentence or not, it is absolutely possible for He Wenzhi to have no freedom now, these people let him paint, but they didn't let him pay on it, so that no one knew who the author of the painting was, and they wouldn't know He Wenzhi's whereabouts through the painting, but for Chen Yi, who He Wenzhi was very familiar with, there was no need to make a payment at all. From the style of the painting, you can know that this is made by He Wenzhi.

Chen Yi used authentication techniques to identify these paintings. There is no doubt that the name of the identified author is He Wenzhi, but from the information of the painting, it is not possible to know He Wenzhi's current situation.

According to his previous guess, He Wenzhi's life is not in danger now, and the time when the paintings of the identification information were made also illustrate this, these paintings, one of which was created four days ago, it can also be determined that He Wenzhi was really imprisoned, and it is very likely that he is in Rome now, and these people imprisoned He Wenzhi, they should just want him to keep painting, and then they sell it to the gallery to make money.

In this case, the only breakthrough to find He Wenzhi is in the gallery, Chen Yi looked at these paintings, and then called a staff member outside, "Why haven't you paid for these Chinese paintings?" ”

"Sir, I'm sorry, but these paintings weren't paid for when I brought them over, and I don't know much about the specifics." The staff said apologetically.

Chen Yi nodded, "Then call your boss over, I want to communicate with him." ”

Soon, the shopkeeper who brought Chen Yi here just now walked in and asked with a smile, "This gentleman, do you have any questions?" ”

"Oh, I want to know why these paintings are not signed, Chinese paintings usually have a signature seal." Chen Yi looked at the middle-aged man, then pointed to these paintings and said, while using identification techniques to identify his mental activities.

"Sir, I think the author didn't want to leave his name for some reason, and these paintings were also sold to the gallery by someone else." The shopkeeper looked at the paintings, shook his head and said.

According to the psychological activity of the identification, Chen Yi knew that the shopkeeper was not lying, so he then asked: "Then do you know the person who sells the paintings, I think these paintings are of very good quality, and I want to know who their authors are." ”

The shopkeeper shook his head without hesitation, "I don't know these people, and they didn't leave contact information, although this is a Chinese painting, but the person who sold it to me is us Italians, they will take one or two paintings to sell me every once in a while, calculate the time, they should be in the last day or two, if you need it, the next time they come, I will ask them to leave their contact information, or notify you to come." ”

Through the psychological activities of the shopkeeper, Chen Yi knew that the shopkeeper was telling the truth, and he didn't know the people who sold the paintings, but these people would come to the gallery in the last day or two, which undoubtedly gave him a surprise, "Boss, this is my mobile phone number, when they come, please contact me immediately." ”

Although he plans to stay next to the gallery for the next day or two, it is impossible for everyone to check it out, so it is the most appropriate option for the gallery owner to call when these people arrive.

"Okay, no problem." The gallery owner nodded happily and wrote down Chen Yi's phone number.

Chen Yi smiled, pointed to a few paintings made by He Wenzhi on the wall and said, "Boss, thank you, I like these paintings very much, I don't know if they can be discounted in terms of price." ”

"Sir, although these paintings have not been paid, in terms of the level of paintings, they are also very high in China, so the price of this painting is 50,000 euros, and this one is 40,000 euros...... The total of the four paintings is 140,000 euros. The owner of the gallery pointed to several of He Wenzhi's paintings and said the prices one by one.

According to the evaluation of the appraisal information, most of these paintings are between 100,000 and 500,000 yuan, just because these paintings have not been signed, it is equivalent to anonymous, if there is a payment, Chen Yi feels that with some of these high-level paintings, there is no problem to reach one million.

After all, He Wenzhi's paintings ten years ago were already worth between 100,000 and 500,000 yuan, and in the past ten years, he has not abandoned his paintings, and now he has untied the knot, and the level of his paintings can be said to be on a higher level.

"Boss, the most fatal thing about these paintings is that there is no payment from the author, in the Chinese painting system, it is equivalent to the painting is incomplete, if one is incomplete, you also have such a high price, these four paintings, I will give you a total of 50,000 euros, what do you think."

Chen Yi shook his head, and did not hesitate to slash the price, many painters have good or bad times, when the state is good, the paintings painted are naturally of high quality, and when the state is not good, the random paintings are not good, just like Qi Baishi and Zhang Daqian, the quality of the paintings painted is also uneven, some values can reach tens of millions, and some values can only reach hundreds of thousands.

It's just that this state of affairs will not appear in Chen Yi, his state of mind has gone through a lot of experience, coupled with the baptism of Taoist exercises, he has become very peaceful, and his feelings will not fluctuate too much, not to mention, he also has a powerful skill in painting, so the quality of every painting he paints is very high.

"Sir, 50,000 euros, your price is incredible, at least 130,000 euros." Hearing that Chen Yi directly lowered the price from 140,000 euros to 50,000 euros, the gallery owner's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

"Sixty thousand euros." Seeing this situation, Chen Yi added another 10,000 euros, and bargaining is this process.

He Wenzhi's paintings are still very worthy of collection, and his whereabouts are unknown now, and it is impossible for Chen Yi to abandon these paintings in the gallery like this.

In the end, the four paintings were sold for 90,000 euros, and Chen Yi did not bring so much cash, so he took out his bank card and swiped it, and then asked the shopkeeper to wrap the four paintings, and instructed him to notify him when those people came.

After making a business of 90,000 euros with Chen Yi, the gallery owner naturally agreed with a smile on his face.

Then, Chen Yi left the gallery with four paintings in his hand, and at the door, he looked back at the gallery, his face becoming solemn.

He did not expect to see He Wenzhi's paintings in Italian galleries, and the information in Guò's paintings, as well as what the shopkeeper said, He Wenzhi was undoubtedly imprisoned.

Chen Yi's thoughts slowly returned to a year ago, He Wenzhi and he met in Sanqingguan, during that month or two, they often exchanged knowledge of painting and calligraphy, and established an excellent friendship, according to his judgment, He Wenzhi should have been locked up as a tool to make money.

Thinking of this, his complexion gradually sank, no matter who dared to touch his friends, they would definitely not end well.

In foreign countries, there are a lot of people who disappear every year, not to mention, He Wenzhi has no relatives in China, maybe only he and Xuanji Daoist can be called He Wenzhi's friends, if He Wenzhi disappears abroad, then basically no one will call the police, and he and Xuanji Daoist mistakenly think that He Wenzhi is traveling abroad and does not have much time to send letters to China.

If it weren't for the fact that he came to Italy unexpectedly this time, then it would take a long time for him and the Xuanji Daoist to realize that something was wrong, after all, with He Wenzhi's temperament, it was understandable that he would not contact them for a few months.

At the beginning, Chen Yi also thought about looking for the Italian government, and with his influence in Italy and China, he believed that the government would definitely come forward to find him, but this would undoubtedly surprise the snake and let them transfer He Wenzhi, and now it is the best thing to find these people through the Guò Gallery.
