Text Chapter 85: Frame-up

What is the meaning of framing?

Three-day time limit to hand in famous paintings

Tang Mansion is the most famous and difficult place to enter in high society.

It is located in the best street in the city, in the best location.

However, although it is called a mansion, it is not a luxuriously decorated and magnificent place. Instead, it's just a humble entertainment club made up of a few basements in a dilapidated old building.

The first impression here is always that it is dirty and messy, and if it were in normal times, such a shabby-looking place would probably let you in, and you might not want to go in.

But now, even if you are worth tens of millions, you may not be qualified to get in.

The fewer people who can enter here, the more precious this place is highlighted, and the dignity of those who can enter here is highlighted.

People are often like this, the more they can't get it, the more difficult it is to get it, the more they have to fight for it.

And those who were not able to enter here, in order to regain some face for themselves, said that this Tang Mansion was the most mysterious and legendary realm in the world.

However, if there is a place in this world that is really as mysterious and full of temptation as they say, then the Tang Mansion is definitely one of them.

Because here you can not only drink the best wine in the world, find the most beautiful, gentle and charming woman in the world, but also get the most accurate information in the world and buy the most unimaginable things in the world.

Some people who have been to the Tang Mansion once commented on this place: "If there is heaven on earth, then those people must be here." Not only does it have everything you could want, but it also has everything you might not expect! If the condition for entering here is to ask for an arm of mine, I will not hesitate to give it to him! ”

Desire is often the biggest weakness of a person's life.

If a person is able to control people's desires, then that person can do almost anything.

Shi Wengong is such an omnipotent person.

Who is Shi Wengong?

He is an old man, an old man who likes to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and more importantly, he is the owner of this Tang Mansion.

From four o'clock in the afternoon to four o'clock in the morning of the next day, it is the opening time of the Tang Mansion.

During this time, Shi Wengong liked to sit on the largest and most comfortable chair in the largest room of the Tang Mansion, looking at everything around him.

It's like a king looking at the territory he's conquered.

He was a chubby old man, gray-haired, always with a kind and gentle smile on his face, and he would nod and smile at whoever he was facing, no matter what kind of person he was facing.

However, when he only smiles at you no matter what you say or do, you should immediately understand that you are of no use to him.

Pretending to be deaf and dumb is sometimes the best and most appropriate answer.

At this time, Shi Wengong was looking at me and Zhang Chengyong laughing, but at this time, the smile on his face was neither kind nor gentle, on the contrary, it was a little more indifferent and murderous.

"Do you know why I invited you two here?" Shi Wengong looked at the two of us for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Of course we don't know! We ate wontons, sang songs, and flickered around to get here. Zhang Chengyong said with a grin.

"You really don't know?" Shi Wengong looked at us and sneered.

"Of course we really don't know!" Zhang Chengyong said.

"That's good!" After speaking, Shi Wengong took out a note from his jacket pocket, then put it on the table and gently pushed it in front of me, sneering: "Look at this!" ”

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

"You'll know why I'm looking for two of you here!" Shi Wengong said.

I took the note and slowly unfolded it, only to see a line clearly written on it: "My generation heard that there is a famous painting hidden in the Shi Gong's house, and a hundred birds are singing in the mountains!" My generation is also a person who loves painting, so I borrowed the book for five days to study carefully. Five days later, since the end of the year to return to Zhao, the clouds have turned the sky, a leaf of resignation, respect! ”

The handwriting on the note is neat and powerful, and it is impressively from my hand.

But I've never written a note like this!

This is the tone of my voice, but I haven't stolen anything in recent times. Even if I don't wash my hands, I don't have time to do it.

A hundred birds towards the phoenix?

Could it be that the picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix in the small courtyard of Changbai Mountain is not successful?

Who is this who is trying to frame me?

Why would this person do this?

Isn't it the same person who left me the note?

At this moment, although I had a thousand thoughts in my heart, but I didn't show anything on the surface, I slowly put down the note, and smiled: "Look at it this way, this is indeed what I wrote, and it is also the tone of my speech!" ”

"So you admit it?" Shi Wengong looked at me and said coldly.

"I'm just saying, here's my handwriting, that's my tone. I didn't admit that I stole this picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix! I looked at Shi Wengong and smiled.

"Oh? So, you don't admit that you stole the painting, do you? It has always been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Liu Tianyi is the leader of the rising generation, stealing treasures alone, and most of them return to Zhao after borrowing treasures, and never break his word. Now it seems that he is also a person who deceives the world and steals his name! Shi Wengong sighed and said slowly: "Since you don't admit it, then don't blame the old man for being unreasonable!" ”

"What are you going to do? Do you want to use lynching? Zhang Chengyong shouted loudly.

However, Shi Wengong didn't seem to hear it at all, he didn't say a word anymore, and he didn't look at us more, as if from this moment on, Zhang Chengyong and I had become dead people.

Shi Wengong slowly stood up, walked to the door step by step, and muttered to himself: "It's a pity! It's a pity! Sometimes trouble is reluctant to go to others, but some people themselves prefer to find trouble! Ay! ”

I don't know if it's a pity for his paintings, or a pity for two people.

And just as he was about to walk out, twenty or thirty big black men with long knives and full of flesh suddenly rushed into the room where Zhang Chengyong and I were, and this small room was crowded in an instant.

These people glared angrily, like angry dogs, waiting for the master's order to tear apart the prey in front of them.

"Wait!" Seeing this, I suddenly spoke.

Shi Wengong didn't answer, but his footsteps suddenly paused.

"If you still want your Hundred Birds and Phoenix, I think we can talk!" I said with a smile.

"Oh? What else is there to talk about? Didn't you say you didn't take that painting? Since I didn't take it, what else is there to talk about? Shi Wengong looked back at me and asked with a sneer.

"I didn't take it, but someone did! And this person not only took the painting, but also left my name. He did this to lure me in, or to take my life by your hand. Am I justified what I said? I looked at Shi Wengong and said.

"Makes sense!" Shi Wengong nodded slightly and said.

"Since what I said makes sense, you should know that if you want to get that painting back, you'll have to let me go and let me go to that person." I said lightly.

Shi Wengong didn't speak, he just stared at me without moving.

"It's too simple to be simple, isn't it?" I looked at Shi Wengong and asked.

"It's very simple!" Shi Wengong said coldly.

"Since it's simple, what are you going to do next, don't you need me to say?" I said with a smile.

Shi Wengong did not answer my words, he has always been a person who knows what he should do when and when, and it is precisely because of this that he can sit in this position today.

After Shi Wengong walked out, those vicious dog-like thugs also disappeared in an instant, and then, a very obscene-looking young man walked up to me and Zhang Chengyong, and said with a smile: "Please come with me, two!" ”

"Where?" Zhang Chengyong asked with a glare.

"To rest, of course! Shi Gong just specially instructed me to take the two of you to the best room in the mansion to rest, and by the way, ...... "This guy didn't say anything, and looked at me and Zhang Chengyong and couldn't stop smiling."

The best room in this young man's mouth is in the deepest part of the Tang Mansion, there are a total of six rooms here, three on the left and right, separated by an iron fence door, you need to enter a six-digit password to enter here, and inside the iron door, there are four tall and strong men guarding it, even if they are already familiar with that young man, but it still took a long time to verify the identity before he allowed us to take us in, it seems that it is very difficult for anyone to think of this area.

The room is a very ordinary room, no special decoration, no special objects, no special furnishings, everything is so ordinary that it can't be in ordinary things.

Ordinary doors, ordinary cabinets, ordinary electrical appliances, and even the beds that people care about the most are ordinary hardboard beds that can no longer be ordinary.

"This is the superlative room?" Zhang Chengyong asked with a frown.

"Hahaha! Yes! This is the most advanced place of our Tang Mansion. The young man said with a smile.

His laughter is still lewd, still mysterious.

"What's the fuck so high?" Zhang Chengyong frowned and scolded.

"You'll find out later!" The young man looked at the two of us mysteriously and smiled, and then said, "Master Zhang, you can rest in this room!" Master Liu, you are this room. ”

"When can we go?" I looked at the little guy and asked.

"Shi Gong has ordered, as long as the two of you have rested enough, you can leave at any time, but ......" the young man said and paused.

"But what?" I looked at him and asked.

"However, Shi Gong asked me to instruct the two of you, you only have three days, and when the three days are up, if the two of you hand over the painting, Shi Gong will naturally be friends of the two, but if you can't hand over the ......"

The young man didn't continue, he just looked at me and Zhang Chengyong with a smile, he knew how to speak, and he also knew that some words didn't need to be spoken.

I didn't ask any further, because I had already understood what he meant, success is life, defeat is death, this has always been the philosophy pursued in the lower eight gates.

Rest, maybe I really need to rest now, because rest will make me energetic, and a person will only become calm and sharp when he is energetic.

Shi Wengong obviously understands this truth very well, so he will arrange such a room for me, so he will let me and Zhang Chengyong take a good rest at such a time.

I looked up at the room number, B109, and strode into the room with a push of the door.
