Chapter 84: Confusing Truth with Falsehood

Shopkeeper Song stared at them for a long time before saying, "In the end, this matter naturally caused trouble in the yamen, and the government sent someone down to investigate." After a comprehensive investigation by a specialist, it was determined that the pawn ticket in my hand was indeed a fake......"

Lin Ziren sighed: "It's a pity that one of your bronze square tripods." It's just that forging pawn tickets requires a high level of imitation ability and exquisite engraving and printing technology, which is not something that ordinary people can do?"

"Who says it's not. “

"This reminds me of the 'Change' family and Jin Buchang, who is now imprisoned in the capital. Tang Yu also said on the side: "Except for them, there is probably no one in the world who can make such a fake bill......

Lin Ziren turned around and asked puzzledly: "Mr. Song, do you know how the people in the government can identify that pawn ticket is not real?"

Shopkeeper Song sighed deeply, and his eyebrows turned into a pimple: "If you want to talk about this, you have to mention the premise, it turns out that this 'Tianshenghao' pawnshop has suffered a big loss in recent days." Someone used a fake pawn ticket to deceive a white jade Ruyi, two landscape paintings and a golden statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, causing their family to lose more than 5,000 taels of silver.

Tang Yu's heart jumped: "Is there such a thing?"

So they also learned well, rushed to work overnight, and quietly made some tricks on all the unissued pawn tickets in their homes. Shopkeeper Song turned around, flipped through the bamboo bed for a while, took out a piece of paper that had become wrinkled and soft, and handed it to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu received his hand, carefully unfolded it, looked at it, and saw that it was a square piece of yellow cotton paper. Tiantou is printed with the words "Tiansheng" in vermilion, and in the middle is the goods, term and interest rate mortgaged by the owner written in pen, and the mortgage date is marked on the grid. The handwriting is scribbled. It is surrounded by a circle of light blue flowers and plants. He asked, "Isn't this a pawn ticket for a pawnshop?"

Shopkeeper Song raised his eyelids: "Not bad." ”

"What's the difference between true and fake?" Lin Ziren also pressed a little and couldn't hold back his curiosity.

Tang Yu trembled, and handed the pawn ticket to Lao Lin: "Take a look, I can't see anything anyway......"

"Don't talk about us, didn't the guy in their pawnshop and the bookkeeper also see it?" Lin Ziren took it and grinned: "Otherwise, people will be deceived?"

Shopkeeper Song nodded, smiled bitterly, and laughed at himself: "Everyone says that the words on the ticket are ghost drawings, twisted and crooked, and do not form shapes, and if they are not among them, no one can look at the door? In other words, even if it is placed in front of us, we can't see what it is and what the price is? A criminal who can comprehend this kind of mystery is indeed extraordinary. ”

"Mr. Song, you still haven't told us, how to distinguish between them?" Tang Yu looked at Shopkeeper Song and picked up the conversation again.

"Good, good. Shopkeeper Song agreed, took back the pawn ticket from Lin Ziren's hand, spread it on the table, and turned around to rummage through the cabinet and find a magnifying glass. Leaned over and pointed his finger at the face of the ticket, "Do you see the moire flowers and plants next to the grid, it's that little orchid......"

Tang Yu and Lin Ziren leaned down together.

Shopkeeper Song was impatient and continued: "In the heart of this flower, there are a few small stamens. Actually, it's not a stamen. Look at it again-" He raised his magnifying glass and took a look, and there were only a few stamens that were more delicate than a hair, and suddenly turned into four seal characters, "Tiansheng special".

Tang Yu exclaimed, "It's so godly!"

"This is a pawnshop overnight to ask the master to use a special micro-carving, for a while, it is difficult for outsiders to identify and imitate. Shopkeeper Song sat down in disappointment, exhaled, and cursed: "These damn guys, they are so well-behaved! It's a pity that I didn't sell that bronze square tripod, and I didn't sell it for two hundred taels of silver......
