Chapter 109: The Counterfeit Storm
"Don't say it, Jinyan!" Su Changle scolded, "I believe this matter has nothing to do with the fifth sister! It must be my misconduct and being taken away, everything is my responsibility, it is me who has betrayed everyone's trust, and I am willing to bear all the punishments!"
"Since the matter has not yet come to light, you should not be busy blaming yourself first, or figure it out first. The old princess of Chu said, "The matter has come to this, let's go to the Qihou Mansion first and listen to what the fifth lady has to say." ”
There is a row of simple sheds set up next to the city wall, which is a temporary place for the doctors who come to the free clinic, and there is a long queue outside each shed, all of which are poor people who are sick and have no medical fees.
"I've heard of Dr. Chenguang's superb medical skills for a long time, so I can have a good discussion with you today. A gray-bearded doctor complimented, "Doctor Chenguang is still a celebrity in Qihou Mansion, and it is said that he is still the life-saving benefactor of the Heavenly Maiden!"
"I don't know how it was spread outside, but I do have something to do with the Qihou Mansion. Chenguang said frankly, "Although I have studied medicine for more than ten years, my qualifications are still very shallow, and I also have a lot of incurable diseases that I can't do, so I need to ask you for advice!"
He saw the girls in front of him who were selling in front of him coming down from downstairs and leaving in the carriage, so he asked curiously, "What happened over there?"
"I just heard about something, it is said that the last treasure of this finale auction is also a genuine work of Liu Tiandao, and it was actually found to be a fake, this painting was donated by the Heavenly Maiden, so they are going to the Heavenly Maiden to ask for an explanation!"
"Tachibana An?" Chenguang's brows furrowed, "Why did you go to the Heavenly Maiden to explain the law? With her character, she would definitely not do such a thing, shouldn't she most doubt that this painting was stolen?"
"Who knows what's going on!" said the man, "and we can understand what is going on inside these mansions!"
"Doctor Chenguang, someone's condition here is very strange, come and see!" someone shouted.
"I'll come here. Chenguang said, but there was some worry in his heart, this matter definitely will not have anything to do with Tangerine, Tangerine should be fine.
Let's say that the old princess of Chu came to the Qihou Mansion with a group of people, and the old lady of the Qihou Mansion and Su Liu and others immediately received them, and the old princess Chu explained the reason, so the group came directly to Lingyue Pavilion.
Su Cheng'an was scratching her head for the difficult problem arranged by Gong You, and Qing'er hurriedly entered the report inside: "Miss, there are a lot of people here, you come out and have a look!"
"There are a lot of people coming?" Su Cheng'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was expected, "Those who should come are still coming, sort them out for me, let's go out to meet guests!"
Su Cheng'an came out of the study and came to the courtyard, and sure enough, there were a lot of people who came, and a light smile was hooked on her lips, and she forgot to glance at Su Changle, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Su Changle smiled softly and said, "Tang An, don't be afraid, this old princess of Chu, I have something to ask you!"
"Tachibana has seen the old princess!" Su Ju Anfu saluted.
The old princess of Chu said lightly: "The Heavenly Maiden doesn't have to be polite, this matter is very important, and the Heavenly Maiden should give an explanation." ”
"What is the explanation??, you should let Tangerine know what happened!" Su Tang'an said with a confused expression.
Su Changle sighed and said: "Today's charity sale, everything went well, but the last painting of Liu Tiandao's "Mountains and Rivers" was found to be a fake, but I have personally checked it, and it is indeed a fake, so I want to ask you if you know what's going on?"
Su Tang'an gently wiped the tip of his nose with a handkerchief, glanced at everyone, and asked, "You suspect me of fooling you with a fake, and you are here to ask my master for guilt?"
"I don't believe that this matter has anything to do with you, so I came to ask you, if you have any grievances, just tell me, with the old princess here, no one will be wronged by you!" Su Changle said.
Su Cheng'an gently brushed the dust on his sleeve, and said lightly: "That painting has not been opened since I received it on my birthday, and it has been kept in the study, and I directly ordered someone to send it to the eldest sister that day." When the eldest sister received it, did she check it?"
"It was also my negligence. Su Changle said with annoyance, "I thought that since you sent it, there must be no problem, so I didn't check it, if only I had a look at it at that time!"
"With the cautious nature of the eldest sister, even if you haven't checked it that day, then you haven't opened it before today's bazaar to see if this painting is damaged?" asked Su Ju'an.
"This ......" Su Changle said, "Today's things are busy, I am so busy that my head is dizzy, I can't check them one by one, but before the auction, I ordered someone to check them, but the people can only see if they are intact at most, as for the real or fake, they can see it!"
"That is, I can't be sure that there is a problem in that link?" Su Juan said lightly, "It is possible that someone dropped the bag in my study, it may be that it was dropped by the eldest sister, or it may be dropped before the charity sale, right?"
"Are you going to push everything onto the eldest sister?" Su Jinyan sneered, "You must be too brazen, how much did the eldest sister pay for this charity sale, how can you bear it!"
"I'm not trying to pass the buck. Su Tang'an said lightly, "It's just that I kindly donated my most valuable things, not to mention the loss of things, but I will be questioned by Xingshi, don't I be wronged? I don't know if that fake is still there?"
"It should still be there. Su Changle said.
"Then let someone take that painting back, let's see how realistic this fake is!" Su Cheng'an smiled, "I also want to see it! It seems that this matter is only afraid of every result for a while, the house is too narrow, you are not breathable in it, the weather is okay today, why don't you just bask in the sun in the yard! Qing'er, let people move some chairs to the courtyard, and then make some good tea!"
"Yes!"
Qing'er immediately instructed someone to bring chairs and place them next to each other in the courtyard.
Su Tang'an smiled: "Everyone, let's sit down and wait." ”
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Su Tang'an gourd, and when they saw her calm expression, it didn't seem like a sign of weakness, and they weren't sure if this matter had anything to do with her.
Su Jinyan sneered and said, "Fifth sister, you are a good means!"
"What do you mean by that?" asked Su Tang'an.
"You're stalling for time, so you want to destroy the evidence. Su Jinyan said, "That authentic handiwork may still be with you, you drag us down, and then order someone to send the authentic handiwork out! If you really have a clear conscience, dare you let us search it!"
"There's nothing you dare. Su Tang'an said lightly, "It's just that you searched my house without evidence, I'm afraid there is no reason for this!"
The leisurely county lord stepped forward and said, "That's it, my master is the heavenly daughter of Ziwei Palace, how can you do whatever you want!"
"Master?" Su Jinyan's face changed, "When did she become the county lord's master?"
"Didn't I just say that I entered the Ziwei Palace?" said the leisurely county lord, "I just want to tell you, I am here today, so I will not let anyone have a chance to bully my master!"
Su Jinyan bit her lip and said, "None of us want to bully her, but right now this is the fastest way to prove her innocence!"
"Are you stupid?" Su Juan sneered, "If I really did it, would I put the stolen goods in my house and wait for you to search them?"
She glanced at the crowd and said loudly: "I don't know what is going on with this matter, please be calm, since the cause of this incident is caused by my painting, I will definitely give you an explanation!
After a while, a subordinate took the fake and slowly unfolded it.
Su Ju'an looked at the painting and said, "I don't know much about painting, what does the eldest sister think?"
"It's so clever that it's almost impossible to distinguish between the real and the fake. Su Changan said, "If you don't have a considerable study of Master Liu's works, I'm afraid that you will be deceived." ”
"I have a few doubts. Su Ju'an said, "Master Liu's work is the most difficult to imitate from the master, since this painting can be imitated lifelike, the truth and falsehood are unchangeable, then the painting of this fake must be skillful, and there is a considerable understanding of Master Liu, such a person should not be a few people! Master Liu's works have been around for 20 years, during which there are few "Mountains and Rivers" Because only a very small number of people have seen the original painting of this painting, and after this painting fell into the hands of the Master, no one has ever borrowed it to see it, so there are few people in this world who can paint it, so where did this person come from?"
"You talk about it, but you talk about yourself!" Su Jinyan said, "Since this painting has always been in your hands, then you must have found someone to copy this painting!"
"There is a painter surnamed Gu on West Street, who is good at painting, and who is obsessed with Master Liu, is the best at imitation. The leisurely county lord said suddenly.
"Then please send someone to invite the ancient painter here. Su Juan said.
"I'll send someone!"
"Su Cheng'an, don't make any more tricks!" Su Jinyan suddenly said loudly, "The real "Mountains and Rivers Map" must still be in your room, you just need to let us search and the truth will be revealed!"
Su Cheng'an looked at Su Jinyan's gradually pale face, and laughed lowly: "I'm very strange, why do you keep insisting that the "Mountains and Rivers Map" is in my room, can you see it?
