"The six families of the Republic of China, Wu Hufan, Zhang Boju, and Sun Yingzhou have been done, and then there are still left, Pang Yuanji, Wang Yiqian, and finally Zhang Congyu. ”

Wen Yiming put down the information and studied Zhang Congyu's information with a pen, Pang Yuanji and Wang Yiqian later emigrated overseas to avoid persecution, and they couldn't reach it for the time being. Speaking of Zhang Congyu, I immediately thought of another person, Tan Jing!

Needless to say, Tan Jing is the largest counterfeiter of cultural relics in the Republic of China, and Fei Fatzi was planted in the hands of the other party last time. But the reason why Tan Jing was able to quickly become a collector at sea back then was mainly because Zhang Congyu helped him palm, and he also used his relationship to snatch a lot of old collections of the Zhang family.

Zhang Congyu's grandfather Zhang Shiming passed away, and three years later, the family property was divided, and Zhang Congyu, as the only son of the fourth room, instantly shared 2 million, and he was only 18 years old that year. At that time, 2 million, its purchasing power was equivalent to 20 billion now!

At that time, the family included many servants, and the daily food was only two yuan, but the food was chicken, duck and fish. 2 million is a sky-high inheritance, so Zhang Congyu has become a famous person in Shanghai, living a life of spending and drinking.

When he was young, he enjoyed the luxury of the world, and he spent ten miles of foreign fields every day, with bright lights, singing and dancing, and spending money like dirt. The most unfortunate thing is that he has a bad penchant for gambling, and most famously losing the whole big world club in one night!

Some of the assets are gambled, and some are bought and sold without the intention of losing money, and they are slowly unable to make ends meet, and the calligraphy and paintings can only be mortgaged to Tan Jing. In 1947, the inheritance of 2 million was almost exhausted, and the huge amount of money in the inheritance was probably tossed by the loser for less than 15 years.

Later, Tan Jing even coaxed and deceived him, using the calligraphy and paintings in the Zhang family's collection, to find Tang An to make a fake, who is Tang An? Where would he really listen to the command of Tan Jing, a layman?

Tang An, the elder Tan Jing is more than 20 years old, good at gold and stone calligraphy and painting, and is notorious for counterfeiting the seal carving calligraphy and painting of famous masters of the past dynasties. The first fake painting he made for Tan Jing was Zhao Mengfu's "Shuangsong Ping Yuantu" collected by Tan Jing, on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The counterfeiting workshop is located at No. 2, Lane 175, Yueyang Road, which is Tan Jing's old-style garden house, and it is usually open at the back door of Yongjia Road. Tan Jing kept this extremely secretive, and even Zhang Congyu was not allowed to see it.

Xu An, one of the gangs, and her sister Xu Maoqian are Zhang Congyu's aunt and the wife of Zhang Shutao, the coin collector. Xu An collects ancient money calligraphy and paintings, and Zhang Congyu is also good friends.

Xu An's family has a collection of various ancient seal scores, and often provides some old ink clay, high-quality brushes and old paper silk for Tang An. The reproduced materials such as old paper and cotton silk are also old things bought at a high price from the Beijing Liuli Factory. ”

According to Chen Ju, Tang An, the organizer and organizer of the counterfeiting gang, suffered from a strange illness in his later years, and even in June, he still had to cover himself with a thick quilt and use hot water for warmth.

In 1963, he died of illness in his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and after the body was sent to the morgue, he actually recovered in the middle of the night, screaming, and finally died blindly, as if there was some wish that had not been fulfilled.

The next day, he pursued and set off to Tang An's hometown of Jiaxing, according to the information, Tang An has a daughter, and I don't know if she is there after decades?

"Sister Tang, I'm already dead!"

Wen Yiming arrived at the Tang family's old house, which was very dilapidated, and after inquiring, he learned that the descendants died decades ago, and now no one lives in it, and is taken care of by a distant uncle.

After taking the six million, after patrolling, he finally found a clue in the backyard pigsty and dug up the buried treasure chest.

"Yan Zhenqing's Zhushan Hall couplet!"

"Song Huizong Cuizhu Double Sparrow Picture!"

"Zeng Gong's post!"

Wen Yiming was extremely excited, there was Yan Zhenqing's true work, invincible!

Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is exquisite, good at line, Kai, creating Yan style regular script, and Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Xun and called the four masters of regular script. It is also called Yan Liu with Liu Gongquan, and is called Yan Muscle Willow Bone.

"There is also Zeng Gong's handscroll, at least a thousand words, last year, Wang Zhongjun of Huayi Brothers bought a note of 124 words for more than 200 million?

The bureau post is the only one found so far in the Tang and Song dynasties Zeng Gong's hand-me-down ink, 62 years old when he wrote a letter to his fellow villagers, a total of 124 words, has been collected by many celebrities in history, and by Xu Bangda research records.

On November 22, 2009, Zeng Gong's bureau post was auctioned for 108 million yuan, breaking the domestic Chinese calligraphy auction record.

On May 15, 2016, as the most high-profile lot in the Guardian Spring Auction, it was put up for auction again, and finally Wang Zhongjun won it with a transaction price of 207 million yuan. A total of 124 words, each word is more than 1.2 million, which is really a thousand words!

Wen Yiming laughed, if Wang Zhongjun saw this long scroll of thousands of words, he would definitely regret it! But this is Zeng Gong's only surviving handscroll, and it will definitely enter the museum, and it will not be sold.

"My guess is right, the old fox used his high imitation to deceive Tan Jing who doesn't know how to do it, on the surface it looks like a traitor, but in fact, it's a dog eats a dog!"

Wen Yiming put down the ancient paintings, took out three red sandalwood seal boxes from the bottom of the box, very heavy, and opened seventy or eighty seals, which must be the handwriting of the famous masters of the past dynasties.

The accuracy of Hu Jing's depiction of seals is not only no different from photography, but also has fiction and reality, and the spirit is complete. During that time, hundreds of large and small seals were imitated, up to the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the public and private seals of the past dynasties. Moreover, calligraphy, painting, seals and paper silk are old-fashioned and realistic.

Tang An imitated Zhao Yuan's "Qingchuan Sending Off Picture" shaft, and the collector wanted to sell it to the Forbidden City, and the person in charge of calligraphy and painting in the academy wrote a note to Zhang Congyu, asking him not to speak during the appraisal.

But the original work was originally his collection, and he knew that it was Tan Jingfang, as the leader of the Cultural Relics Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, how could he not speak?

The imitation painting is Xu Zhengbai. Manufacture of ancient paintings of the past dynasties, people can not distinguish, Yun is called a master, a professor of the Academy of Fine Arts.

The one who copied the model was Zheng Zhuyou, who had cooperated with Xu Zhengbai for a long time in antique paintings, mixed in the collection of rivers and lakes, and finally entered the Forbidden City to repair ancient paintings.

Later, Tan Jing was in arrears of wages, and Xu Zhengbai was angry and picked his son and left, and the person who replaced him was Jin Zhongyu. Family handicraft, specializing in copying calligraphy and paintings, in place of originals for exhibition and collection, later also worked in the Forbidden City.

In the early years of the Forbidden City, Zhan Ziqian's "Spring Tour" and Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" were all replicas made by Zheng Zhuyou and Jin Zhongyu.

Wen Yiming smiled bitterly after reading it: "I'm afraid that the hooligans are educated, no wonder Tan Jingfang has been made to the highest level in history, and everyone has been recruited by the Forbidden City, awesome!"

It's like the top hacker, even if he is caught by the state, he is a scarce talent, he doesn't have to go to jail, he just needs to help with things. Transformed into a gorgeous civil servant.

Wen Yiming returned to the capital with the baby, which is worthy of everyone's collection, basically Song and Yuan Dynasty treasures, national treasures, all of which must be collected in Ming Yuanzhai. There are only twenty or thirty pieces of calligraphy that can be auctioned, and they are all masterpieces of famous artists in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Hu Jianmin alone chose seven or eight pieces.

After a few busy days, everyone rested and rested, and today is a rare opportunity to play with Xiaojin Xiaobai at home, Liu Datong came in and said in a low voice: "Sir, there is news from the treasure hunting meeting, someone has taken a fancy to Bian Que's magic needle!"
