A painting?!

What kind of painting?

Yu Tang's heart was pounding when he heard this, and his breath was short.

"Are you literate?" She asked in a hoarse voice.

"Illiterate." The boy wept and looked like a broken jar, and said, "The steward of the gambling house asked me to steal it, and said that if it was stolen, he would give me five taels of silver." It's a painting of two old men fishing in a river in the mountains and forests......"

Two old men fishing by the river in the mountains and forests!

Yu Tang immediately thought of the "Hidden Picture of Fishing in Pine Creek".

She felt her heart flustered, her hands and feet trembling.

"Isn't it this painting?" Yu Tang didn't know how she walked back to the room, and how she spread the painting to the kid, but when she opened the painting, the kid's eyes lit up, and he said continuously: "It's this painting, it's this painting." The steward told me that there was a stamp on it that was stamped on the hair of the boy next to the old man. That's it, that's right. ”

The things that had been ignored before were staggered and chaotic in Yu Tang's mind.

The theft of the Li family in the previous life, the Li family's sudden wealth...... The two thefts in this life, the "Merlin" seal on the child's hair, and the "Spring Water Hall" next to the "Merlin" seal...... She seemed to understand, and at the same time seemed to have a thousand clues, and she didn't know anything.

"Ah Tang, what's wrong with you?" Chen, Yu Yuan, and Shuangtao all came around, and Chen even supported Yu Tang and said puzzledly: "You kid, why did you find this painting again?" Is there anything wrong with this painting? Or ......" she asked, looking at the kid who had seen their family stealing things, and then at Yu Tang.

Something hasn't been figured out yet...... Moreover, even if she figured it out, her mother knew that there was no other way but to worry and be anxious.

"It's fine." Yu Tang tried his best to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart, and said calmly and indifferently in his tone, "He said that he came to our house to steal the painting, so I asked him." ”

When the kid heard this, he immediately shouted, "It's ......."

Yu Tang pretended to be unintentional and slapped the kid's mouth with a painting scroll, making the kid's words become vague, and said: "Mom, he is illiterate, and he said that someone else asked him to come to our house to steal things, I think this matter has to be discussed in the long run, and it will be good to wait for Daddy to come back." Now let's put him in the care of the elder brother, lest he will say everything from east to west, without telling the truth, and we will be anxious to get angry when we hear it. With that, she gave the kid a threatening look.

Chen has blind trust in both her daughter and her husband, so naturally she has no doubts. Yu Yuan saw it clearly, he glanced at Yu Tang carefully, and helped Yu Tang speak: "Yes! Ah Tang is right. I'm here, so Auntie should go and rest early. Your body has always been bad, and if you are uncomfortable with such a toss, you will be in trouble. ”

Yu Tang glanced at Yu Yuan and knew that Yu Yuan saw that there was a problem but was still helping her, so she followed Yu Yuan's words and said: "Mom, because of Lu Xin's funeral, our family still owes the silver of the shopkeeper Tong!" ”

Chen didn't dare to delay here any longer, but he still said suspiciously: "Could it be that someone regards this painting as genuine?" ”

"It's possible." Yu Tang now just wants to coax his mother to sleep, and said with a smile, "Didn't Daddy look away at the beginning?" ”

Chen nodded, and was accompanied by Shuangtao to the inner room.

The boy's mother came to ask Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan stared at Yu Tang.

Yu Tang glanced at him.

Yu Yuan understood, and said to the kid's mother: "Don't worry, our family is not that mean person, it's just that this matter is my second uncle's business, and it's not good for me to make up my mind at this time." I see you're tired too, but I'm afraid you won't go back if you ask you to go back. I think so, you will sleep with Mrs. Chen all night today, and your boy will be taken care of by me for the time being, and when my uncle comes back, we will discuss what to do. ”

The kid's mother thanked him a thousand times, drinking the kid kowtowing to Yu Yuan, scolding him for not knowing how to be motivated or something.

Mrs. Chen also saw that something was coming, interrupted the scolding, and dragged the kid's mother away.

Yu Yuan called Ah Yuan, tied up the kid, and threw him in his room.

The brother and sister stood by the bamboo bushes in the courtyard and talked.

"I just felt that something was wrong, so I lied to that kid, and that kid told me a call." Yu Tang told Yu Yuan all the news he asked just now, "I don't know if it's true or not?" Brother, if you don't look for me, I will also ask you for help to inquire. ”

After she finished speaking, she and Yu Yuan went to the study, lit the lamp again, spread the painting on the large bookcase, and looked at the painting carefully, while saying, "But I really can't figure out what is so special about this painting—even if it is a real painting, it has to be exchanged for silver." When Lu Xiucai sold this painting, he didn't just find Daddy alone. If that man liked the painting, why didn't he buy it for a few taels of silver, and why did he do so many things out of necessity. What's more, this painting is fake, and it has been identified by the shopkeeper Tong, if he has always wanted to get this painting, he should know it. ”

Yu Yuan has read more books than Yu Tang, and he likes calligraphy and painting very much, and he has studied this more than Yu Tang.

He looked at the painting carefully, and really couldn't see any difference: "Isn't there a time for shopkeeper Tong to wander?" ”

Yu Tang was stunned.

Why does she think that Shopkeeper Tong will not be blind?

First, in her previous life, there was nothing bad about the shopkeeper Tong, and she was preconceived; Another thing is that in her previous life, I don't know how many times she looked at this painting in her hands, and she will never be mistaken!

But Yu Yuan's words were like water dripping into an oil pot, splashing oil everywhere.

What if her painting was fake?

Yu Tang only felt that his heart suddenly brightened.

Didn't she just have such a bold idea?

If her father bought this painting in her previous life, and this painting came to the Li family with her marriage, and the Li family was stolen that time, someone replaced her painting...... It all seems to make sense.

This is the real thing!

Shopkeeper Tong walked away.

The one in her hands in her previous life is fake!

But who changed the original painting in her hand?

Yu Tang's mind spun fast.

At that time, she had already married into the Li family with the tablet, and she was the chaste woman of the Li family, and the whole Lin'an City was staring at her, seeing when she could give Lin'an City and the Li family a chastity archway back, she didn't go out much, but whenever she went out, the people she met who knew her were sympathetic to her, three points of embarrassment, and three points of respect.

Who wouldn't have the brains to steal to her.

Who has the audacity to steal to Li's house.

Moreover, the theft of the Li family has always been secretive.

She used to think that the Li family was afraid that bad rumors would spread and affect her widowhood.

But what if that's not the case?

What if it was the Li family who stole her paintings?

and the Li family's sudden wealth, which started not long after she lost her paintings.

When Yu Tang thought of this, he felt angry and his brain was buzzing.

She moved two lamps to the bookcase and said to Yu Yuan: "Brother, can you see anything unusual about this painting?" ”

Yu Yuan shook his head, took the painting and looked left and right for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "No wonder people say that when the book is used, it is less hated." If only I had read more. ”

Yu Tang immediately thought of Pei Yan.

She hurriedly shook her head, as if that would shake the thought away.

Pei Yan is the third master of the Pei family, if she takes a painting that has been identified as a fake painting by the shopkeeper Tong and goes to him to help identify it, Pei Yan may not only want to drive her out, maybe she will think that she is going to make trouble.

She really wanted to ask Pei Yan for help when her brain was in water!

No wonder Pei Yan looked down on her before, she was indeed ...... Do things without brains!

Yu Tang sighed and asked Yu Yuan: "Brother, you say, should we show this painting to someone more powerful?" I always felt that if that kid hadn't fooled us, we would have been stared at by the man who had instructed him to steal the painting, and if that man didn't get the picture, he would have been in trouble. We don't know who he is, even if we want to give up our wealth to avoid disaster, there is no way to give this painting to him! ”

Yu Yuan thought for a while and said, "I'll go to my uncle tomorrow and tell him about it." Then I asked Li Yashi to help me quietly ask the steward of the block, to see if I could ask who wanted our painting. If my uncle agreed, we hired the steward of the shop to be an intermediary and sold the painting to the other party with great fanfare. ”

Yu Tang worried: "What if they think we are selling them fakes? ”

Yu Yuan was stunned, and said for a while: "Then, what good ideas do you have?" ”

"I think it's better to figure out this painting." Yu Tang said, suddenly thinking of Lu Xin, she suddenly condensed and looked towards Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan saw confusion, hesitation, worry, surprise, and even horror in his cousin's eyes.

He thought of the origin of this painting.

Could it be that Lu Xin's death is also related to this painting?

Lu Xin is actually very selfish, every time he drinks too much, it is paid by others, he almost never buys alcohol to drink, if he is greedy, most of them are trying to rub other people's wine to drink, and when he can't rub it, he will be heartbroken and hit two or two drinks.

"I, I'm going to find my uncle." Yu Yuan jumped up suddenly, "We don't know exactly how Lu Xin died, so we can only ask our uncle." ”

Yu Wen was busy with Lu Xin's funeral in another temple on the outskirts of the city.

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!" Yu Tang looked at the painting on the bookcase, and wanted to burn it, "This is really a disaster!" ”

But she didn't dare.

She was afraid that even if she did burn the painting, the person who wanted to paint it would not believe it, and she would still come to their house for trouble. And when the time comes, they won't be able to hand in the paintings, and the situation will be even more difficult than now.

Yu Tang went to look at the leaky pot and said, "The city gate will not open until two hours at the earliest, you can sleep first, and I will let Shuangtao call you then." Then let Ah Tao go to Master Wu's house to borrow a mule, early in the morning, in case you can't hire a carriage, you have a mule to ride, it's better than walking! ”

Yu Yuan knew that Yu Tang's arrangement was the best.

Although he was in a heavy mood, he still forced himself to sleep according to Yu Tang's arrangement.

Yu Tang didn't sleep all night.

She kept staring at the painting, hoping to find something different from her previous life. When it was almost dawn, she first called Shuangtao to get up and help Yu Yuan prepare dry food, and then asked Ah Tao to tell Yu Yuan to get up and send Yu Yuan out.
