When I heard this, I was actually still in a fog. I probably know that the matter to be discussed tonight should be because of the Huang family, and it is not trivial and widely implicated, so the five veins should gather together to discuss together, but there may be another hidden story behind this matter, or even a trap, once the five veins take action, they may be in the middle of it, so Huang Mingda's attitude is resolute and he does not want the five veins to participate.

But I still don't know something, since this matter is most closely related to the interests of the Huang family, why Liu Bin initiated this banquet. Even if the Liu family is the patriarch of the five veins, it should be announced by Liu Zheng.

"The more I listen, the more confused I become." As for me, I don't want to get involved in these things.

"Just take it as a reward for the Liu family, I hope that after this matter is over, I don't owe Ah Yao and me, so that I can feel at ease." In fact, I didn't plan to be the son-in-law of the Liu family at all, and today I got involved in the five veins, one is because of the embarrassment of my identity, and the other is because of the right to "forgive my sins".

Although Huang Mingda was obviously hostile to me when he came up, he didn't want to target me, this person is generally a person who understands the overall situation and understands things, and he is highly respected, and the reason why he is angry is because he has anger in his heart.

I got up from my chair and said, "Senior, I am attending the banquet of the Five Pulses for the first time today, in fact, I don't know what happened until now, if you can afford it, you might as well talk about it, perhaps, I can help you." ”

Huang Mingda looked left and right and asked, "Haven't you told him yet?" ”

"Not yet." Liu Zheng was not embarrassed, but said with a smile: "I invited all the old people here today, just to gather people and spread out this matter." Since you have caught up with this opportunity, let me tell you about it. ”

Liu Bin had no objection.

"This matter is originally a matter of the Huang family, you have to get involved, and then it will be the common responsibility of the five veins, and I, Huang Mingda, can't afford this crime."

"Lao Huang, what you said is wrong, you keep saying that it is your Huang family's business, but do you know that the impact of this matter has burned to my Liu family's industry." Liu Bin didn't speak, and now he finally couldn't sit still.

"You miscalculated the impact of this." Liu Bin said, "I've never been willing to trouble people, and in the pulseless, I'm also a marginal person, and now I can't even sit still, you should know the seriousness of the consequences." ”

"My dad is a marginal figure in the Five Pulses, and he hardly gets involved in their affairs." Yao said.

I know that. Although Liu Bin is a person in the five veins, this person is not right, and his business is mostly black industry. This explains my previous doubts, why Liu Bin would be the initiator of the banquet, it seems that the Huang family's fire is indeed big enough.

You must know that Liu Bin is not so easy to mess with, he is a big man, he is deeply respected, in the territory of the capital, all walks of life can eat, it can be said that it is black and white, plus the blessing of the identity of the Liu family in the five veins, and the resources in his hands are even more heavenly, so even he can't sit still, this matter is estimated to be really big.

"The five veins since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, famous for the treasure in the world, through the Tang, the five dynasties, the Song, the Yuan, the Ming and Qing dynasties, has been extended to the Republic of China, the prestige does not fall, the people of the time call the five veins 'bright eye plum blossom'. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was chaotic, countless antiques and old goods fell to the people, and the mud and sand fell for a while, the good and the bad were uneven, and the five veins insisted on removing the false and retaining the true in the troubled times, and the prestige reached its peak. Huang Mingda said.

"There is no need to repeat the history of the five veins."

Huang Mingda glanced at everyone and continued, "I know that the big guy is also thinking about the five pulses, and I have heard some about the Liu family, but I, Huang Mingda, walk the rivers and lakes, and I really can't let go of an old face." ”

"Lao Huang, now that it's over, don't talk about it, let's talk about it directly."

"The reason why this matter is so big, I don't think I need to explain it anymore, first, as soon as this incident came out, our five veins' business and reputation can be said to have been greatly hit overnight

The door was reprimanded by the authorities, and it was already difficult to ride a tiger. Second, this matter itself is also a major event, whether it is a person in the five veins or not, as long as it is a Chinese, it is a big matter, so to recover the authentic work, my Huang family will not hesitate, even if it is my old life, I must also ask for a national treasure. ”

"A national treasure?" I paused for a moment, "What a national treasure." ”

It seems that something happened to the Huang family because of the loss of an important cultural relic at the national treasure level. But logically speaking, this national-level cultural relic should not be hidden in the Huang family's home, even if it is privately collected, it will not cause an uproar if it is lost, let alone attract official pressure, there must be a hidden truth behind this.

Since ancient times, people who sell antiques are because they are profitable, so there are so many fakes on the market, and the existence of fakes is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that after a long time, the social atmosphere will change, people's hearts are not ancient, and fakes are rampant. This cultural relic can test a person's temperament the most, although Huang Mingda is not popular, but this loyalty and courage is admirable.

After listening to Huang Kewu's speech, I asked, "Senior Huang, you said that the national treasure was lost, I don't know which national treasure you are referring to?" ”

"Roselle Futu."

"Roselle Futu?"

I was stunned for a long time, "Which facsimile?" ”

This Luo Shen Fu Tu is a painting of Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the real copy has been lost, and there are many copies in the world, but even if it is a copy of any one that has been handed down to the present, it is a national first-class protected cultural relic.

"The real thing."

"What?"

My eyes were about to fall to the ground, and my heart was not so confident, and I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it clearly.

"You understand now? The loss of the Luo Shen Futu is very important, and it also implicates the other four veins, and the foundation of the five veins is almost unsafe. If you can really help the five veins, I, Huang Mingda, am willing to kneel and knock for you! Huang Mingda's emotions also became excited.

I stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

Liu Bin patted the table lightly: "This matter has just happened, and it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, besides, the authenticity of the Luo Shen Futu is doubtful, and now it seems that we have two ways to go!" ”

It seems that this scheming Liu Bin has already thought of a countermeasure.

Huang Mingda snorted coldly: "Ridiculous! Although the authenticity of Luoshen's Futu is not a secret to the outside world, as early as a few decades ago, a consensus has been reached in the pulse, whether it is true or false, and the coffin has been closed. ”

Liu Zheng saw that Huang Mingda was decisive, and said with a smile: "The five veins did identify the Luo Shen Fu map back then, but I remember that among the people who voted against it, the most determined person was you, you won't forget, right?" ”

Huang Mingda thought for a moment and said, "What are you talking about these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, do you want us to lift a stone and shoot ourselves in the foot?" ”

"Of course not, Liu Bin's meaning is just to provide an idea, now we have no other way to go, if we want to solve this matter, there are only two ways, first, either find clues and recover the national treasure, or prove that this is a fake, and if the fake is lost, there is naturally no fault."

"And the second?"

At this time, several other elders on the table frowned slightly.

In fact, the big guy also understands in his heart that since this Luo Shen Fu map has been lost, and now there is no clue to get things back, it is not much easier than stealing and digging Qianling - not to mention that the whereabouts of the map are unknown now, even if you know the whereabouts, it must be priceless, and the thieves must be strictly guarded.

Liu Zheng was originally sipping wine slowly, but now he is a little uneasy.

The other four old men on the table also had different expressions, and there was silence in the courtyard.

"Then please tell me how the national treasure was lost?"

Huang Mingda's words just now, when I spoke, I didn't hear it clearly. It stands to reason that the theft of a national treasure is a well-planned game, and it will inevitably leave some clues before, during, and after the event, and it is impossible to be at a loss. And Liu Bin's words sounded twisted and turned.

Huang Mingda propped up the table with both hands, leaned forward, and stared at the bosses of the other four families, "Okay, since today."

Everyone is here, I will tell you the truth, this time the national treasure was stolen, and I Huang Mingda took the blame for himself. Three months ago, a Japanese collector came to my house, saying that he wanted to buy the Luo Shen Fu Tu, at that time, I felt that something was wrong, you must know that the news of the Luo Shen Fu Tu hidden in the five veins has not been leaked for many years, how did a Japanese he know? I wanted to send him away for an excuse, but at this time, he said that he also had a pair of Luo Shen Fu in his hand, and he also claimed to be Gu Kaizhi's authentic handiwork, but he never dared to jump to conclusions, hoping to compare it with the real handiwork in my hand and communicate with each other. ”

Liu Zheng glanced at Huang Mingda and said slowly: "Isn't there a lot of clues hidden in the story you just said." ”

Huang Mingda's lying silkworm eyebrows shrugged, and said: "This matter is indeed a lot of suspicions, but I was obsessed with ghosts at the time, and for many years, I also had doubts about Luo Shen Futu, and the appearance of this Japanese just gave me this opportunity to solve my doubts." ”

"There is indeed a mystery hidden in the story just now." Hearing this, I also feel the same way in my heart, but the incident happened a few months ago, with Huang Mingda's vigilance, it is impossible not to take precautions, and the clues are clear.

"In fact, this strange place is not hidden deeply, and it is even said that it has not been deliberately hidden at all." Huang Mingda continued, "I have seen the Luo Shen Fu map in the hand of the Japanese, and it was identified as a forgery at that time, so naturally I didn't give him this opportunity to see the real one, but something incredible happened a few days later. ”

After listening to Huang Mingda's description, after the Japanese, the matter subsided, and there was no movement, but within a month, the news came that the Japanese died in an accident, and the Luo Shen Futu hidden in his home was also stolen.

This may be the reason why the five veins are at a loss now.

"If it can be proved that the five veins are fakes, it is just an opportunity." Liu Bin said, "What I'm more worried about is that this time, the other party is coming at our five veins, and only by finding out the truth can we turn evil into good fortune." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You all know what follows." Huang continued, "A month ago, I received a letter from Tokyo written by a person named Kawashima Miri, who claimed to be the granddaughter of the Japanese collector. ”

I was surprised, but the rest of the people were indifferent. It seems that the story says that at this point, the people of the five veins already know the next plot.

In the letter, Kawashima said that her great-grandfather was an officer of the Japanese invasion of China, who was not a low rank, and committed many crimes in China, using disgraceful means to plunder a large number of national treasures, one of which was the Luo Shen Futu, which was identified as a fake. Now, her grandfather has passed away, and as a result, she has decided to return the national treasure to China. At that time, the top was very interested, and it was necessary to have a return ceremony, and when the time came, it was necessary to identify the Luo Shen map hidden in the five veins and the Luo Shen map hidden by the Kawashima family on the spot...... But there is a time lag here, this letter was obviously written after Kawashima's death and before the Luo Shen Futu was not lost, and by the time the letter reached the hands of the five veins, the Kawashima family's Luo Shen Futu had been lost. ”

With a loud "pop", Huang Mingda's hand slammed on the tabletop, and this fine thick jujube wood table was actually shot out of a few cracks. The dishes on the table jumped up and clanged.

"The people behind this design have made every move of the chess pieces exactly the same, and every step is leading me into a trap and forcing the five veins to death."

I don't blame Huang Mingda for being angry.

But I still wonder how the Huang family's collection was lost.

Liu Zheng didn't say anything, this time the old man said, "At that time, Lao Huang told me about this letter, in fact, what Kawashima said may not be the truth, the truth and falsehood are all the words of one family, and the other hidden circumstances are unknown, although the official intends to carry out the identification of the two Luo Shen maps in China and Japan, but the initiative is still in the hands of the five pulses, but after we received Kawashima's letter, we soon received another anonymous letter......

I wondered, "Could it be that the anonymous letter said that the collection of the five veins is fake?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Not bad." ”

I was dumbfounded.
