Feng Zhennan was shocked when he heard Mr. Chen's sudden question.
Although their brother Pao will be the witness in the middle, it is a rule among industries not to inquire about each other's details!
How could he, the dignified chief helmsman, not understand this truth?
Several hall masters around also stopped holding their chopsticks and sat upright.
Mr. Chen chuckled twice, took the tea bowl, rinsed his mouth, took a toothpick and leaned on the back of the chair.
Fifth Brother reminded:
"When speaking in front of Mr. Guan, think carefully before speaking!"
Bai Lu looked at Qian Sheng without knowing why.
Before we sat down at the table just now, wasn't Mr. Chen chatting happily with people from the Southern School?
Why did the painting style suddenly change?
Qian Sheng pointed to the phone and whispered to her: Just wait and see the good show!
When Feng Zhennan heard that Mr. Chen was beating him, he immediately smiled and said:
"What are you talking about, Mr. Chen? Since I asked you to be the intermediary, I must know that you know everything and will not take sides. This thing naturally came from where it should be."
The implication behind the words is that you should not think of favoring the Northern faction, and it is better not to do things that are bad to the rules.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen rubbed his hands and immediately continued what he said with a smile on his face:
"Oh, then we may not be thinking about the same thing. I think this thing should be down below, but your thing seems to come from above."
Hearing this, the expression on Feng Zhennan's face began to change subtly, but he quickly adjusted it.
"Mr. Chen was joking. In our industry, we call this kind of thing a 'Ming Qi'. I borrowed the pronunciation of the word, but it is actually a Ming Qi. Of course it comes from the ground."
Mr. Chen smiled and stretched out his index finger, tapping Feng Zhennan.
"Come here, you kid, turn on the TV and watch it!"
The assistant behind him immediately turned on the giant-screen TV on the wall. Mr. Chen operated the phone a few times, and Brother Five immediately shared the content he received on the screen.
The first picture is a black and white photo with some yellowing at the corners.
The object in the photo turned out to be the "Daxi Wang Imperial Treasure" seal that was circulated just now.
There is also a seal stamped next to it to verify the identity.
Seeing this scene, the people around were confused. According to Feng Zhennan, this thing was an obvious weapon taken out from the ground. How could there be an identical black and white photo?
Qian Sheng stood up and bowed with his hands in front of him:
"Mr. Chen, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to explain this matter slowly."
Mr. Chen nodded.
"This photo was taken in the mid-19th century, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. The photographer was the young owner of Tongxingdang, the largest pawnshop in Beijing at that time.
Not long after this magical object, the camera, was introduced to our country, the young owner bought one on a whim and recorded all the most valuable pawned items in the shop with his camera.
According to the ledger in the store at that time, this item came from the hands of an antique dealer in central Sichuan, traveled to Sanjin, and then went north from Sanjin to an antique shop in Shangjing.
The owner of the antique shop later had to reluctantly pawn his inventory because he was taking Fushou Ointment.
Later, after the fall of Shangjing, this seal followed a group of valuable belongings from "Pingtong Dang" and moved to the south. Due to the turmoil in the current situation, the business of "Pingtong Dang" was getting worse day by day, so this thing changed hands again, and there has been no news from it since. . "
Following Qian Sheng's words, Fifth Brother also changed another picture.
It is a color photo, but the content is a page of transaction ledger written in calligraphy.
The elegant cursive script on it explains the origin of this royal treasure.
Almost exactly the same as Qian Sheng's description.
The hall masters present immediately began to whisper, and all eyes turned to Feng Zhennan and the others.
I originally thought that he would be very embarrassed at this moment, but I didn't expect that this guy was calm and even wanted to laugh.
"It's not trustworthy, it's not trustworthy! Mr. Chen, although I don't know where these photos of yours come from, and where the story of shopkeeper Qian comes from, I just feel that he is a member of the noble family of the northern sect. If you play If you can't afford it, you don't have to agree to it.
Why do you need to do these little tricks after the fact? It’s a photo, it’s a ledger. Under the current conditions, it couldn’t be easier to make these things.
I know a lot of friends in Xiangjiang who make movie props. They can make a batch of exactly the same things in minutes. What does that mean? "
It has to be said that Feng Zhennan's ability to confuse right and wrong is really strong.
No wonder he was able to trick the other three sects into joining his camp.
However, Qian Sheng seems to have already had a countermeasure.
"I knew you were dissatisfied. Come on, man, let's get on with the eyes!"
Qian Sheng motioned to Fifth Brother to enlarge the black and white photo several times. Although the black and white photo back then had limited clarity, most of the details could still be seen clearly.
“What pawn shops do is deceptive business. In order to drive down the price, they often describe the pawned items as worthless.
The same goes for Fang Yubao.
Because the other party is in the antique business, maybe one day he can catch it and redeem it.
Therefore, when I first took possession of this object, the big cabinet of 'Tongxingdang' had tampered with it, and used a carving knife to leave a mark on the tiger button eye of this seal. A tiger descending from a mountain with open eyes becomes a tiger descending from a mountain with blind eyes. This is a big difference both in appearance and in meaning.
The boss is addicted to smoking, so how can he care about this? I took the pawn ticket and went straight to the opium shop without even thinking about redeeming my pawn. "
Everyone's eyes were focused on the TV screen.
Even in the pixel-level photo, you can clearly see a notch on the eye of the seal tiger button.
The reason why seals have been used as an important means of identifying authenticity from ancient times to the present is because every mark left by the carving knife on it is unique and cannot be copied.
Even if it's just a single failure.
Now the problem is much simpler. If you take out the square seal just now and compare it with the knife marks on the eyes of Tiger Button, all doubts will be solved.
Unexpectedly, when Feng Zhennan reached this point, his expression remained unchanged and his heart did not beat.
If he hadn't been overconfident just now and transferred the imperial treasure back to Mr. Chen, he might have had some room for maneuver now.
Now, as long as he takes out the square seal again and compares the scratches on it, it will be easy to expose his lies.
Taoist Zhang Jiren, who was brought in as a spearman, now wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
He was a monk, but he had blindly believed Feng Zhennan's lies. He came to this troubled water because he really went out without looking at the almanac. Now he just closed his eyes to rest and stay out of the matter.
The other two families were already close to the Feng family, but now it seems that they have known the inside story for a long time and are now ready to advance and retreat together.
"Yes, I admit, we have prepared this thing a long time ago. Who makes me so competitive and unwilling to accept failure? Seeing several juniors, suddenly transformed into my elders, how much do I think? I’m still a little unwilling!”
These few words were considered an admission that he had cheated, but he avoided the important and ignored the important and diverted the focus of the issue to one side.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up from his seat, deliberately pulled a napkin in front of Qian Sheng and Bai Lu, and dusted off the dust on his shoes.
"I'm a bit of a germaphobe. I forgot to shine my shoes when I went out today. It's a bit rude. Please don't take offense! But, I'm very curious now, how did you get this information?"
