Unlike Hong Aotian's current impatience, Hong Dragonfly was very calm. He looked at Hong Daidai and said, "As long as it is in the Thirteen Cities of Tianfang, we have ways to investigate."
"How do you want to check?" Hong Daidai looked at Red Dragonfly.
"Today they said that the cauldron was forged by someone. We can find the person who forged it." Red Dragonfly said.
Hong Aotian smiled, shook his head and said, "How did you find the counterfeit ones? Do you understand the craftsmanship of those counterfeit ones?"
"The rust on copperware is formed over many years and is generally relatively hard. It is formed in the copper, just like mineral deposits. It grows out layer by layer, little by little. It is strong and dense and not easy to peel off. Fake copperware It must be disguised with patina, and its surface must also undergo various camouflage treatments, but no matter how disguised it is, the fake can never become real. Observing the surface and rust spots of copper is the key to identifying fakes."
Red Dragonfly said while looking at Hong Daidai, waiting for her next instructions.
Hong Daidai touched her chin, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Keep talking."
Hong Aotian had no patience at all, so he said: "Keep talking! I have known this kind of knowledge since I was a child, but what's the use? Now I have to find a way to get that tripod back!"
Seeing his anxious look, Red Dragonfly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued: "Traditional rusting generally uses soil spraying." Because of the superb technique, they are usually made very similar. But there are many weaknesses. Because it is not rust formed by years of corrosion, it is not strong in nature and will reveal flaws when bumped with a hard object. If you gently pick off a small piece, crush it with a hard object to break it into pieces. "
Hong Aotian interrupted him after listening to him, and said to himself: "Okay, okay, let me take care of the rest. It's this kind of rust. You can also observe the bottom of the rust. The new copper is flat and smooth. It peels off. The layer can be burned with fire. The real flame is blue-green. Bronze rust is generally not easy to burn. Rust crystals will make a crackling sound at high temperatures and have no peculiar smell. Fake rust made with resin or glue will melt and burn at high temperatures and appear red and black. , and there is smoke, and you can smell pungent odors such as various glues or burned plastics. Is there anything else you want to say? Can these things help me find out who dropped the package? "
Red Dragonfly did not answer Hong Aotian, but looked at Hong Daidai.
At this moment, Hong Daidai thought about Hong Aotian's words, and she smiled, "You mean to start with glue and burning plastic?"
"Yes, we in Thirteen Tianfang Cities don't have such superb craftsmanship to make many types of glue and plastic. As long as we look at this material and check, we will definitely find it out." Red Dragonfly said.
Hong Daidai smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, you are right, just keep an eye on these and check. There must be an answer."
"Now that we have a direction, don't be stunned, hurry up and check it out!" Hong Aotian urged.
At this moment, Hong Daidai and Red Dragonfly wanted to kill this pig teammate in one breath.
There is nothing you can do, but urging them here is quite powerful.
It really made them irritated.
Fortunately, Hong Daidai still needs someone to be a scapegoat, so she tolerates Hong Aotian for the time being.
As for the other people in the Hong family, they are really anxious now.
Many of them were uneasy when they thought of Yongzhou Ding being exchanged.
"Tell me, without the Yongzhou Cauldron, what will our Hong family do? Will other people from the Thirteen Tianfang Cities take the opportunity to bully us?"
"Yeah, before the Hong family had the Yongzhou Cauldron, some idiots didn't dare to come up and bully us, but what should we do now... aren't we going to be doomed now?"
"I feel really uneasy, I'm really scared. I don't want to be the enemy of the entire Thirteen Cities of Tianfang, I just want to live a stable life."
"So, we must first find the guy who switched the Yongzhou Cauldron. Who is so annoying and annoying?"
They were all complaining about the person who changed the package, and some people began to think of Hong Daidai and the others' anomalies before.
"By the way, do you think my aunt and the others reacted too strangely?" someone said.
"Why is it weird? Didn't my aunt say that she doesn't want to participate in big things in her whole life and just wants to be a salty fish?"
"She said she was a salted fish, but is she really a salted fish? Think about it carefully. Is there something wrong with some of the things my aunt has done recently?"
Originally these people did not have such a big reaction, but now after hearing their reminder, everyone is a little worried.
"Don't tell me... I really think there is something wrong with my aunt."
"Shh, everyone, please keep your voices down. Don't say it out now. It will arouse people's suspicion and give people a chance to cause trouble."
In fact, Hong Xiu also hopes that people in the family will be suspicious of Hong Daidai.
The situation was chaotic and she was able to truly figure out what Hong Daidai wanted.
Huo Xiaoling saw that the matter of Yongzhou Ding was related to Hongxiu, so after going to a safe space, she asked straight to the point:
"Hong Xiu, tell us the truth, where did you hide the real Yongzhou Cauldron?"
Seeing his wife asking this question, Hong Changyi quickly shook his head and interrupted: "What are you talking about? Don't doubt Hong Xiu, she is from our side."
"I know that Hongxiu will definitely not harm us. That is to say, she has no intention of harming us. That's why I think she will hide the Yongzhou Ding."
Seeing that her husband still didn't understand, Huo Xiaoling continued: "Husband, you have forgotten that the Shangguan family can forge antiques."
When Hong Changyi heard this, he immediately understood. He nodded and said, "Yes, the Shangguan family is actually the most professional in this area."
"So, besides us Hongxiu, who else would ask the Shangguan family to make a fake tripod?" Huo Xiaoling asked.
Hongxiu had no intention of hiding it from them. When she saw that Huo Xiaoling had guessed it, she smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, you are right... It was me and Ye Xingtong, we handled the tripod together. Because we thought someone would do it." It will hurt An An. Then if we take action in advance and calculate in advance, it will be very good for An An."
"So... when did you and Ye Xingtong switch the tripod?" Huo Xiaoling was a little shocked. You must know that the tripod can't be dropped just by saying it.
How could such a big thing be lost suddenly?
Hong Song'an thought about Luo Jiuling and smiled: "You take advantage of the chaos and make the move. Their attention is on Luo Jiuling. This is a very clever move."
"Yes, originally we wanted to create chaos ourselves, but Luo Jiuling happened to bump into us. If we don't use it, we won't use it." Hong Xiu said.
"That's it." Huo Xiaoling breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that luckily they were smart enough to save his daughter.
