found a leisure hall nearby, Su Zhe waited for Zhou Zhiyan to find him something.

After ordering something, Zhou Zhiyan took a sip of boiled water before he spoke: "Su Dong should know Gao Ganggao, store manager, right?"

"Recognize. ”

They didn't meet many times, and they weren't very impressed with each other, at least they weren't as hostile as Chen Maochuang. Zhou Zhiyan mentioned Gao Gang, and he must have known him. I had heard before that Zhou Zhiyan was from the north, and Gao Gang's Mozizhai was mainly based on that side as the market. Moreover, Gao Gang himself is a northerner, and most of the industry is over there, so it is not surprising that the two know each other.

"To tell you the truth, Gao Gang is my uncle. ”

Well, I thought just now that the two of them knew each other, but I didn't expect that there would be such a relationship.

Seeing the surprise in Su Zhe's eyes, Zhou Zhiyan seemed to have achieved his goal, and continued, "I came here this time mainly because my uncle recommended you because he felt that you were the right person. ”

Su Zhe became more and more confused when he heard this, and he didn't know what Zhou Zhiyan wanted to say.

At this time, Zhou Zhiyan took out a few photos from the bag he was carrying, put them on the table and said, "Su Dong, do you have any impression after looking at these photos?"

Su Zhe picked it up, and there were several drawings on the photo, not Western oil paintings, but ink paintings. It depicts several women traveling on horseback.

Su Zhe thought about it in his mind, and said with questions: "Could this be "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu's Spring Tour"?"

Zhou Zhiyan applauded lightly and praised twice: "Su Dong has good eyesight, and he can see at once that this is "Mrs. Yuguo's Spring Tour", it seems that this uncle really didn't recommend the wrong person." ”

"Zhou Gongzi, don't bury people, after all, he runs an antique shop, and sometimes he has to make up these materials. It just so happened that I saw a picture in a book some time ago and was impressed. ”

After a pause, Su Zhe asked again, "I don't know what Zhou Gongzi meant by showing me the photo of "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu's Spring Tour"? If I am not mistaken, it seems that none of Zhang Xuan's original traces have been left today, and most of them have been copied by later generations. ”

One of the more famous painters of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xuan cannot be ignored. He was enshrined in the insider, and served as a painter in the Jixian Academy, and the court painter. Zhang Xuan is good at painting aristocratic ladies, palace saddle horses and other paintings. Later generations often compared Zhou Fang, who was born a little later than him. In fact, Zhou Fang learned from Zhang Xuan at the beginning, and finally became his own family.

From the Tang Dynasty to the present, after the turmoil of several dynasties, Zhang Xuan's original handwriting is almost non-existent. The "Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" that the world sees today is also a copy.

Zhou Zhiyan suddenly took out this, and Su Zhe really couldn't guess what he meant.

"What Su Dong said is the truth, Zhang Xuan's original handwriting, and now he can really find one, it must be a priceless treasure. Zhou Zhiyan sighed. "But now there is really an original trace in front of the world. After a pause, Zhou Zhiyan added and said, "In fact, it is not clear whether it is a genuine handiwork, but from the information received, it looks like Zhang Xuan's authentic handiwork." ”

Su Zhe was stunned, this is unlikely. If there is an authentic work, someone has already taken it out, so why wait until this time. After thinking about it, Su Zhe thought of a little and asked, "Is what Zhou Gongzi said is this "Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" on the photo?"

"Yes, it is indeed "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu". It's just that the place where it is now collected is not in our national museum, but in a museum abroad. They hadn't taken it out for so many years, but last month it was suddenly announced that they were going to auction the painting. ”

Su Zhe frowned, and then asked, "Which country?"

"Little Japan. ”

Su Zhe was stunned, and immediately scolded: "Damn, it's actually the little radish head country." Su Zhe still didn't understand after a pause, "Zhou Gongzi heard you say that "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" is collected in Little Japan, why no one knows about it for decades. And they hid it for so many years and didn't take it out, and suddenly took it out for auction, what kind of idea did they play?"

Zhou Zhiyan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't answer Su Dong's question, that's why I came to you today." ”

"I don't know the authenticity of the painting, but the National Association of Antiques Collectors is paying close attention to it. If it's genuine, no matter how much money you spend, you have to take it down. ”

Su Zhe understood at this time that since Little Japan released the news, their real purpose was to get it back from Huaxia. Little Japan has always been cunning, and may take out paintings for auction, and there are some difficulties in the process.

The National Antique Collection Association is not sure whether "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" is real or fake, if it takes a huge amount of money to photograph it, and turns back to find that it is fake, as soon as the media exposes it, it will lose the face of the whole country. Even if the dead cat is bitten and not announced to the public, it is difficult to guarantee that Little Japan will take a picture of "Mrs. Yuguo You Chun" in two days and say that it is Zhang Xuan's authentic handiwork, so that the whole world will know what is going on.

After a moment of silence, Su Zhe put the photo on the table and said, "Master Zhou, take the liberty of asking, what role do you play in this?"

Zhou Zhiyan replied: "I don't have any role in it, this time I am purely a lobbyist." If the antiques are divided into five types: gold, stone and jade, porcelain, wood, bronze and calligraphy. Some people are more porcelain, and some are better at gold, stone and jade. Because my family is more familiar with calligraphy and painting, and someone is in the National Antique Collection Association, there are people in the family involved in this matter. ”

I have always guessed that Zhou Zhiyan's identity is not simple, but I didn't expect that it was not so simple that there was someone inside, but this time it was someone above the court.

With a few taps of his fingers on the table, Su Zhe groaned, "Gongzi Zhou, the purpose of your coming here today is to find me to participate in the auction?"

Zhou Zhiyan nodded.

Su Zhe smiled bitterly: "Zhou Gongzi, you are going to see me embarrassed, there are a lot of people with high attainments in antique appraisal by the National Antique Collection Association, isn't it a joke for me as a layman in the past." You can find Manager Gao and Chairman Kim, they are more reliable than me. ”

"It's not a joke to ask me to come over as a lobbyist this time, we came to you after discussion. Zhou Zhiyan said seriously, "What we want is not your major, but your luck." ”

Su Zhe was even more speechless, as if he saw several black lines flying in front of him.

Su Zhe said sarcastically: "Gongzi Zhou, I don't know when the Tangtang Antique Association doesn't believe in professional appraisal knowledge, but becomes superstitious. Seeing that Zhou Zhiyan wanted to speak, Su Zhe waved his hand and continued, "I really don't have that much ability to participate in this matter, and besides, this is a matter of national dignity. I'm in my early twenties, and I don't want to die young. ”

Knowing Zhou Zhiyan's intentions, Su Zhe didn't have the heart to talk about it anymore. After drinking coffee, he said that there was something wrong and left first.

Seeing Su Zhe get up, Zhou Zhiyan hurriedly said: "Su Dong, wait a while, we won't come randomly, everyone will see your luck in gambling stones." Now that Little Japan deliberately does not let people see the painting until the auction is over, we have to bet on whether the painting is genuine or not, and we have to have a lot of luck. ”

Su Zhe continued to refuse, "It's not that I don't have a patriotic heart, as every countryman, I feel like a natural feud with little Japan, and I can't stand their approach either." I should have been angry at a young age, but I can't. Just when I am selfish, in the face of the dignity of the country and the nation, I choose to live a cowardly life. I made a fortune in betting, but there are some things I can't gamble on, because there are a lot of people around me who are worried about me. I'm really sorry this time, Zhou Gongzi, you can discuss finding someone else. ”

Seeing Su Zhe's resolute attitude, Zhou Zhiyan pondered for a while and said, "Su Zhe, I know that you are a person who values love and righteousness, and this is your best chance to repay him." ”

Su Zhe stopped when he was about to leave, and turned around with a puzzled face: "Repay, Zhou Gongzi, I don't really understand what you mean." ”

"Haven't you always wanted to know who sent you the video of Zhang Chengsheng's death? You know very well that if it weren't for that video, Zhang Chengsheng's case would definitely not be solved, and Chen Guobiao and Tan Zixuan are not waiting for the trial and verdict inside, but continue to live happily outside. ”

Su Zhe frowned, looked at Zhou Zhiyan for a long time and said, "Could it be that you are the one who sent the video screen?"

Zhou Zhiyan didn't answer, sat back down and said, "Su Dong, let's discuss what happened just now." Whatever the outcome of this matter, it will only be good for you. Although it is to help the country, don't really imagine that the country is like in ancient times, and things will be copied all over the house before they meet the emperor's requirements. Don't forget, this is a society governed by the rule of law. ”

Su Zhe stopped talking. Zhou Zhiyan didn't answer the question just asked, he is not a stupid person, needless to say that the person who posted the video that day must be related to Zhou Zhiyan.

After thinking for a few seconds, Su Zhe sat back on the sofa.

After refilling a cup of coffee, Su Zhe stared at his brows and did not speak. Zhou Zhiyan knew that he was thinking about it, so he didn't rush. Pick up the coffee with the residual temperature and taste it slowly. This temperature is just right, if it is too hot, the tongue will not be able to taste the mellow flavor of the coffee, and if it is too cold, it will reduce the pleasure of drinking coffee.

So Zhou Zhiyan never likes to drink iced coffee, although others drink it with relish. No matter how hot it is, he likes to order a cup of piping hot coffee and stir it with a small spoon until it is just the right temperature in his mouth.

When Su Zhe came out to talk about it, Zhou Zhiyan knew that he would refuse. The video of Zhang Chengsheng being killed was his bargaining chip, the only and most powerful bargaining chip.

It wasn't until half of the second cup of coffee at hand that Su Zhe raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhiyan and said lightly: "There is no problem for me to join, but the premise is that you have to tell Zhang Chengsheng's video without reservation." I must also make it clear that the idea of borrowing luck is ridiculous in itself, and I can't guarantee that the auction will actually work. ”

Zhou Zhiyan put down the cup in his hand, stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation." ”
