Chapter 31 Qingming Riverside Map

Holding a picture scroll more than five meters long for a long time, the young Qian Yuan didn't care, but Xingshi, who was nearly fifty years old, couldn't stand it, but the savior soon appeared.

Wang Chen's confidant and servant brought from his hometown in Taicang reported in a low voice with a happy face, and presented a thick account book, fortunately, he took the opportunity to put away the "Qingming Riverside Map" with Qian Yuan, and the latter walked out of the study in three steps and two steps.

Walking into the courtyard outside the side hall, looking up at the starry sky, Qian Yuan couldn't help but shudder, it was really dangerous!

In fact, Qian Yuan understands Zhang Siwei very well, and he also knows why this Ming army general is unwilling to be promoted.

But Zhang Siwei attaches too much importance to the role of money in the southeast coast, and intentionally or unintentionally ignores that the southeast coast is just a Ming couple, and most importantly, he forgets that in this land, the people in power have always been those who hold the power of life and death.

Therefore, Zhang Siwei, who has a close relationship with maritime businessmen, was detained.

However, it is clear that Zhang Siwei is not a fool.

"Poof!" Qian Yuan couldn't help but be happy.

Qian Yuan was not sure whether Zhang Siwei had been detained in the original history.

But as a middle-level general of the Ming army who had a close relationship with maritime merchants, he must be looked at differently.

But Qian Yuan can be sure that Zhang Siwei should have escaped this catastrophe, and it is likely that he used the "Qingming Riverside Map" in the back study, uh, maybe a large number of silver taels were added?

But this time, before Zhang Siwei could make a move, Qian Yuan handed the ladder up, and Wang Chen naturally climbed up the ladder, took everything into his arms, and kicked Zhang Siwei down by the way.

"Feeling good?" Xingshi slowly approached with his hands in his sleeves, shook his head and said, "I thought you would be distressed." ”

"Distressed?" Qian Yuan laughed, "That "Qingming Riverside Map"? Such a heavy treasure is naturally only qualified by Zhongcheng University......"

"Hehe, into my hands...... Virtue is not worthy! Hahaha......"

Xingshi frowned and looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and always felt that this smile was mixed with a little weirdness.

Regarding the inheritance of "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", although Qian Yuan does not know enough about it, he knows very well that the most bizarre period of time in the history of this national treasure-level picture scroll is the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming people's notes have recorded that the "Qingming Riverside Map" was scavenged by Yan Song from Wang Chen's hands, this statement is difficult to say whether it is true or false, but one thing is true, and later Yan Song was raided, this "Qingming Riverside Map" flowed into the interior, and Feng Bao also inscribed on it.

Qian Yuan thought with great interest, Yan Song fell in about 40 years after Jiajing, and there are still eight years to go, how did this "Qingming Riverside Picture" flow into Yan Song's hands?

Could it be this time...... In history, Zhang Siwei gave this painting to Wang Chen in order to get out, and the latter gave it to Yan Song in order to get out...... However, the Ming people's notes recorded that the painting was fake, and Yan Song framed Wang Chen for this.

However, collecting this painting is really not a good sign, Wang Chen, Yan Song, Feng Bao, tsk, the better ones such as Feng Bao lost power and died of illness, like Wang Chen's abandonment of the city is not the worst, Yan Song was reduced to begging on the street in his later years.

"How?" Qian Yuan put away his smile and said in the direction of the study, "I don't want to know too clearly, I just want to know how Lord Zhongcheng feels?" ”

"I kept claiming that you were a virtuous nephew, and I was kicked out to accompany you, for fear of snubbing you." Xingshi rolled his eyes, "By the way, my lord asked me to ask...... It is said that this painting should be in the Gu family in Kunshan. ”

"Kunshan Gu family?"

Xingshi said in detail: "Well, during the Hongzhi period, he was returned to the cabinet chief assistant Xu Fu, and later gave it to Xiya Gong, and then it fell into the hands of Lu Wan, the military secretary in the early years of Jiajing, and then Lu Wan's descendants sold it to Kunshan Gu Dingchen, the champion of Hongzhi in the eighteenth year. ”

Qian Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while, "Isn't that the Weizhai Gong who repaired Kunshan City?" ”

"Yes, it's him, Xia Yan was in the cabinet that year, and although Weizhai Gong entered the cabinet, he had no real power, so he returned to his hometown very early." Xingshi made a gesture of please, and continued as he walked towards the backyard: "Jiajing passed away in the nineteenth year of his life...... Unexpectedly, this painting fell into the hands of Zhang Siwei. ”

"It can't be fake, right?" Qian Yuan asked casually, his eyes fell on the row of houses behind the treetops in the backyard, and there were soldiers guarding him faintly.

"No, Lord Zhongcheng is good at appreciation, and except for Gu Dingchen, the other inheritances and records are very clear." Xingshi couldn't help but be envious and jealous, "Mr. Qian has made a great contribution this time!" ”

"To each according to his needs." Qian Yuan stopped and listened, and there seemed to be a sound inside.

"That's just as well." Xingshi nodded, although he was envious and jealous, he didn't hate, he knew that he and this Songjiang Xiucai would not go the same way...... People may not be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix one day.

At this time, there was a loud shout from the room not far away, "I want to see Lord Zhongcheng!" ”

"I want to see Master Xing!"

"I have a confidential report!"

Qian Yuan chuckled a few times, Zhang Siwei was very angry inside, although he was detained, but the treatment has always been good, tonight suddenly there were more soldiers to guard, Zhang Siwei naturally sensed the danger.

"Let's go together?"

"Mr. Yuki, please." Qian Yuan shook his head, "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang will always see me...... I can't hold it. ”

Seeing Xingshi, he stepped into the door, Qian Yuan leaned against the wall outside the door, trying to listen with his ears, while looking at the soldiers guarding the door, but he was thinking in his heart...... If it weren't for the revenge of killing his father and brother, he really wanted to make friends with Zhang Siwei.

About 1.2 million taels of silver, 10,000 taels of gold, and hundreds of thousands of unsold goods, dozens of shops set up in various prefectures, more than 20 large and small real estate, by the way, there are a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, this ability to collect money can be called first-class, you must know that the imperial court's financial income is only two or three million taels of silver in a year.

It has to be calculated that it will not be much less than Yan Song and Yan Shifan, but unfortunately this guy is not very famous, otherwise he can make up a "Tianshui Iceberg Record" or something.

However, there are not many fields, and there are only a hundred hectares.

As a Ming Dynasty official who had a deep relationship with maritime merchants, although Zhang Siwei had the traditional concept of retaining a large amount of cash, it can be seen that he did not only focus on the land, of course, this is also related to Zhang Siwei's military background, no fame and no tax avoidance.

At this time, the suddenly amplified sound in the room woke up Qian Yuan, who was still thinking about his thoughts, and he couldn't help but laugh and continued to listen.

"It's really a treasure!"

This is Zhang Siwei pleading.

"Bang!"

Uh, this is kneeling?

"Master Xing helped me pass a word, and five thousand taels of silver were immediately presented with both hands!"

Qian Yuan pouted, when has it been, this guy is still so stingy...... Qian Yuan didn't want to think about it, did Zhang Siwei dare to open his mouth to be hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands? The man swallowed him without even a belt bone.

This thought was also swirling in the mind of Xingshi in the room, if there was no Qian Yuan...... Fortunately, I was interested in doing this business, but unfortunately now ...... Even the bones of the belt have been swallowed by Dong Weng in one bite, and you Zhang Siwei are now alone and penniless.

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of kowtowing made Qian Yuan outside grin, this guy is not afraid of concussion!

Zhang Siwei, whose forehead was red and swollen, raised his head, gritted his teeth and was about to speak, but fortunately he was already in front, "Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about...... It's "Qingming Riverside Picture", right? ”

Qian Yuan pricked up his ears, but there was silence in the room, and only the click of the upper and lower teeth fighting was faintly heard.
