Lin Yi and Bai Lu looked at this posture, and the old man obviously didn't want to discuss this topic.

Since they don't want to say it, they can't force it.

The two of them glanced at each other, and for the time being, don't ask any questions for the time being, in case they provoke the old man, and the next eviction order will be broken.

The two followed the old man Wang Xiangfu to the courtyard, and the whole donkey banquet had been arranged.

More than a dozen people of the Wang family, young and old, stood respectfully outside the table, waiting for the old man to enter the table.

"This is my old friend in Shangjing, the granddaughter and Gaozu of Brother Bai. If it wasn't for Brother Bai to give me the travel expenses, I wouldn't have been able to go back to Cangzhou, so let's treat them well today. ”

After speaking, he led the two to sit down one after another.

The banquet was actually a little awkward.

Wang Xiangfu has three sons, all of whom came back with their families today.

In their generation, the eldest is almost fifty years old, and the children are about the same age as Bai Lu and Lin Yi, and they are all abroad now.

The eldest child is in his twenties and forties, and the eldest of the two children in the family is in junior high school, and the younger is in elementary school.

The third child has also reached the age of four, and the children are still young.

Except for the third brother who lives here with his parents, the two older brothers have moved out.

It seems that except for the daughter-in-law of the third family, Sister Xuanfu, who can chat with them, everyone else has no common language.

It's nothing more than asking how old you are this year, whether you are married, whether you have a partner, and so on.

Lin Yi now finally understands why she is so keen to find presence on the Internet.

In such a family environment, she is a full-time mother, and she usually has no one to talk to, except for serving her in-laws, taking her children to buy and buy online, and showing off her wealth, there is nothing to do.

However, it is rare for them to sit together as a family today, the old man enjoys the joy of family, and the descendants of old friends come to visit, and they are happy in their hearts, and they drink a few more cups of thatch.

After drinking a few taels of wine, the conversation box will naturally open.

"Shuqin, you take the children to play."

When the old lady next to her heard this, she immediately understood, and left the table with all her daughters-in-law and children, leaving Lin Yi and Bai Lu, as well as his three sons.

Uncle Wang picked up the wine glass, tilted his neck and lowered his stomach with another glass of wine.

"This matter has been pressed in my heart for decades, and today there are no outsiders here, so I will open up and say a good thing.

Back then, after my senior brother Ding Zhaohai and I came back from Beijing, we have been trying to find a way to overturn the case for the shopkeeper.

It's not that anyone wronged him or whatever, but he just thinks that since he didn't resell this cultural relic to foreigners, at least he won't sin to death, right?

Even if he is locked up, people still have a thought, right?

Later, when Mr. Zhang finally came out to speak, the two of us saw that there was a slowdown in this matter, so we hurried back to find the master and asked him to ask the shopkeeper if there was room for maneuver in this matter.

Shi Niang came back and said that the shopkeeper would not let us get involved in this matter, and we could not afford to provoke the people involved in this matter.

I went to the glaze factory with my brother to beg for help, and found those who knew the family and helped the shopkeeper restore this picture, and it would be fine. Unexpectedly, the senior brother was afraid of things, and as soon as he heard that there were still people staring at him, he was about to pick his son and go back to his hometown in Luanzhou. ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Yi turned his head and exchanged glances with Bai Lu.

It seems that there is something hidden in this matter, and it is not just as simple as counterfeiting and dropping the bag.

Later, Shi Niang also persuaded us to go back and not to meddle in this matter, so we returned to Jizhou from Shangjing, and within a few days, we received a letter from Shi Niang to report the funeral.

I set off from Cangzhou to Luanzhou to find my brother, and I was going to go to Beijing to take care of the shopkeeper's funeral, he only had one daughter, and after the family accident, I followed my husband back to Qilu's hometown.

Those apprentices before were far away, unwilling to come forward, the senior brother didn't go again, and the shopkeeper's funeral didn't even have a filial son.

As a result, when I went to Luanzhou to find him, he was reluctant to go to Beijing again, no matter how I persuaded him, he just didn't go, I was angry and went north alone, and I went back to Cangzhou after helping my sister and them take care of the aftermath together.

After this incident, I never had any contact with my senior brother again, and he never came out of his hometown all his life. ”

Lin Yi didn't expect that the break between the two senior brothers would be for this matter.

"Brother Bai doesn't know about this, we didn't look for him when we went back to Beijing for the second time, just because we were afraid that it would affect him."

After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he poured himself three glasses in a row.

Judging from the expressions on the faces of his sons, it should be the first time he has heard his father mention these old things.

"Dad, you've had a lot of drinks today. Or"

"Don't persuade me, let me have a good drink today, these things have been held in my heart for many years, and today I say it, I feel happy.

My master, the shopkeeper of 'Wen Gu Zhai', has been deceitful all his life and has done some shady things.

However, he really didn't sell the 'Emperor and Empress Buddha Picture' to foreigners, it was all a fake made by himself. ”

"Dad, you drank too much, I'm sorry, the old man was a little excited today, he drank a lot, I helped him go back to the room to rest. You two take care of yourself, ah, you take care of yourself. ”

After speaking, the eldest of the Wang family immediately stepped forward to support the old man and went back to the house with his brother.

There were only Bai Lu and Lin Yi left in the banquet, and there was a donkey head on the table with them staring at each other.

"Brother Lin, why do I get more confused the more I listen? Grandpa Wang's preface doesn't match the afterword, and he can't pick it up before and after. ”

Lin Yi played with the bamboo chopsticks in his hand.

"Why can't I catch it, I think this time the truth is really revealed, Boss Yue knows that he sold a fake to foreigners, and this matter will be turned out sooner or later.

Later, after he was arrested, according to what he confessed, if he couldn't spell the original, he would have to die.

If he spells out this original and proves that the two pieces collected by Lao Mei are fakes, can the broker and the buyer spare him?

At that time, maybe their family will be old and young, and even these apprentices may have to lose their lives.

I estimate that Boss Yue finally died of illness in prison, and it was he who cut himself off. ”

"Then why did he delay for two years? What has he done in the past two years? ”

Lin Yi put down his chopsticks and shook his head.

"I don't know about this, if this old man Wang is willing to discuss with us, maybe he can really talk about something."

While the two were whispering, the boss of the Wang family came out of the back room.

"Two, my father invites you two to sit in his study upstairs."

"Study?"

Lin Yi and Bai Lu stood up at the same time.

This Wang Boss specially instructed that it was the study upstairs, isn't that the "small museum" that made Qian Sheng open his eyes in the live broadcast room that day?

They originally planned to inquire about things related to this study, but they didn't expect that now Uncle Wang himself actually took the initiative to bring it up.

This was indeed a bit of a surprise to them.

Lin Yi pulled Bai Lu into the house, sent a message to Qian Sheng, and dialed his phone by the way. (End of chapter)
