The Eight Sages were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became furious: "Yan Qi, what tricks are you playing? This is Cao Chunqiu's painting, how can it be fake? I have hidden it for many years, and I dare to guarantee it with my reputation."
"Don't say that the Eight Wise Kings used their reputation as a guarantee, even if they use their lives to guarantee it, it won't work."
Yan Qi reached out and touched the painting.
His hands were stained with ink.
Yan Qi showed his black fingers in front of everyone: "Ministers, please look carefully. The ink on this painting is not yet dry, but it has been touched by my hand."
"Haha, this is strange. Cao Chunqiu's painting is ten years old. Could it be that after ten years, the ink has not dried up? Why? This painting has become a masterpiece. Will it cry?"
The ministers were horrified.
Many ministers who are proficient in literature and art came together.
Be judgmental.
Zhao Qing is especially proficient in poetry and painting.
He stood up, looked at it carefully, and said with great certainty: "First, this painting has a strong smell of ink. Second, the ink on this painting is not dry. Third, the charm of this painting is the same as that of Cao Chunqiu's painting." The charm is very different, and the difference is vast. From these three points, it is enough to prove that this painting is a fake."
Tong Jian, the minister of Shangshu Province, also observed the painting carefully and said categorically: "The brush strokes in this painting are soft yet strong, and judging from the order of the strokes, it is left-handed. If you look closely at the inscription below, it is clearly a thin gold script. From these three characteristics, it can be concluded that the real author of this painting is Chang Houfa, the doctor of the Zongren Mansion."
Plop!
As soon as this statement comes out, I often fall head over heels.
Foaming at the mouth!
There will be thunder among the ministers.
Everyone knows that Zhao Qing and Tong Jian are very good at calligraphy and painting.
Especially Tong Jian, who is Tang Bufan's disciple.
Analyze paintings and never make mistakes.
He concluded that this painting was made by Chang Houfa, the doctor of the Zongren Mansion, so it must have been by Chang Houfa.
Never wrong.
What's more, he often foams at the mouth and faints immediately.
Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.
Chang Houfa looked so frightened, which further confirmed Tong Jian's guess.
This painting is undoubtedly a fake that I often regret copying.
"This...how is this possible?"
The excited heart of the Eight Wise Kings froze into an iceberg.
He never expected that things would take such bizarre twists and turns.
Cao Chunqiu's painting was brought in, and it turned out to be a fake.
There are obviously genuine products, so why do we need fake ones?
The Eight Wise Kings were furious: "I just don't believe it, so I got out of the way."
He broke into the crowd, snatched the painting, and looked at it carefully.
Just now, his heart
Frozen into icebergs.
After looking at the paintings for a few times, I felt despair.
Because this painting is 100% fake.
It is impossible to confuse the fake with the real.
This fake is so prickly and rubbish.
It's so imitative.
It is completely different from Cao Chunqiu's paintings.
Yan Qixiao looked at the Eight Wise Kings: "After committing such perjury, do the Eight Wise Kings still have any shame? No wonder you refused to give me the painting. It turns out that you already knew that it was a fake."
The Eight Wise Kings have no place to put their old faces.
Mixed with shame and anger.
He ran up to Chang Houfa and kicked Chang Houfa viciously in the face.
Chang Houfa was kicked awake.
His face was covered in blood.
He ignored the pain and knelt in front of the Eight Wise Kings, kowtowing like garlic: "Eight Wise Kings, I was wrong, I was wrong, I... I couldn't help it. I... I..."
The Eight Wise Kings were so angry that they were hysterical: "Tell me, why did you fool me with a fake? Why didn't you bring Cao Chunqiu's painting? Why didn't you bring it? Tell me, you gave me an honest explanation."
Chang Hou burst into tears and stammered: "Cao Chunqiu's paintings have disappeared."
"What?"
The Eight Wise Kings were stunned: "Missing? This...how...how is this possible?"
"It just disappeared."
Chang Hou was so anxious that he was trembling all over: "I searched all the collections in the Zongren Mansion. I searched every corner, but I couldn't find Cao Chunqiu's paintings. I asked everyone, one by one. I don’t even know where the paintings went.”
"I had no choice. The Eight Wise Kings were urging me too hard, so I had to copy a painting from memory. I thought I would get through it first and then look for Cao Chunqiu's paintings. However, Yan Qi found out..."
"Wow, this king is so angry!"
The Eighth Sage King kicked Chang Houfa in the face: "You really deserve to die! Someone, drag Chang Houfa out and beat him to death."
"yes!"
The guard in blue pulled Chang's hair down.
A beating.
After a while, he was beaten to death.
When the officials saw this, they shuddered.
The Zongren Mansion is an institution managed by the Eight Sage Kings.
The Eight Wise Kings have the power to deal with everything.
Seeing Chang Houfa lying in a pool of blood, everyone felt chilled.
Chang Houfa followed the Eight Wise Kings and did a lot of dirty, tiring and shady work.
Now, because of the counterfeiting, he was beaten to death by the Eight Wise Kings.
How can you not feel chilled?
The Eight Wise Kings killed the chicken while the monkey watched.
This impact can be described as extremely bad.
Yan Qi looked at the Eighth Sage King: "Xia Ming's case requires real evidence. How can you get away with perjury? The Eighth Sage King, if you want to try Xia Ming's case, please come up with real evidence. Otherwise, I am not in the mood to accompany you." Making trouble for you."
After saying that, he walked away.
An Sihai, Zhao Qing, Wan Liang, Qi Ying, Tong Jian, Fan Tong and others followed Yan Qi's footsteps and withdrew from the cabinet meeting.
The Eighth Sage King watched Yan Qi leave arrogantly, but he couldn't even let out a fart.
At this moment, no matter what he said, it was so feeble.
Because Cao Chunqiu's paintings have disappeared.
Without real evidence, it is impossible to pass the Yan Qi test.
This means that he can't kill Xia Ming.
If you can't kill Xia Ming, you won't be able to make a deal with Yan Qi.
If the deal couldn't be made, Qian Lu would be dead.
Qian Lu's death had a great impact on him.
Both prestige and power will be questioned.
Damn it.
Yan Qi is so hateful.
Yang Ke was also extremely discouraged and asked tentatively: "Eight Wise Kings, are the cabinet meetings still... still open?"
The Eight Wise Kings stared at Yang Ke with a sharp glare: "You said you can't open it?"
"Hey, this..."
Yang Ke was startled, fearing that he would be targeted by the Eight Wise Kings, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go."
The ministers were relieved and dispersed like birds and beasts.
As they dispersed, they discussed.
"I didn't expect that the Eight Wise Kings could not match Yan Qi."
"The variables are huge."
"Yes, soon, Yan Qi will be in the court and will check Qian Lu's book. Qian Lu is definitely dead."
"Xia Ming is not dead, but Qian Lu is. Does this mean that Yan Qi is better?"
…
The Eight Wise Kings vaguely heard everyone talking, and he was so angry that he really wanted to chop off the heads of these talkative ministers.
But if he really did that, he would be completely screwed.
It's right in Yan Qi's arms.
The Eight Wise Kings closed their eyes and concentrated for a long time.
Not a word was spoken.
Yang Ke waited for a long time, feeling anxious and muttering in a low voice: "The Eight Wise Kings..."
The Eighth Sage King suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and stern, and he asked Yang Ke: "Do you believe that Yan Qi already knew that this painting was a fake?"
"Ah?" Yang Ke was confused.
The Eight Sages asked again: "Do you believe it? Cao Chunqiu's paintings are in the hands of Yan Qi?"
"Ah?" Yang Ke was surprised again.
The Eighth Sage King suppressed the anger in his heart: "I am a fool, and I am being manipulated by Yan Qi. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous."
