I don’t know what tricks Wu Yong used, but in just a few days he got along with Guo Jing and Liu Wuji.

Moreover, Wu Yong had also read poetry and books, learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was not completely unfamiliar with calligraphy and painting. So he pretended to be a calligraphy and painting merchant from Xuzhou, and his purpose of coming to Yingtianfu was to purchase works by unknown calligraphers and painters.

But this is not the most seductive thing. What made Guo Jing and Liu Wuji the most excited was that Wu Yong told them: There was a woman in Xuzhou who wanted to make a few real-life copybooks by Su Dongpo!

This is a remarkable thing!

Su Dongpo is the master of calligraphy and painting in the world who is as famous as Mi Fu, Cai Jing and Huang Tingjian! He is also recognized as the most talented among the four, so his copybooks and paintings have always been quite expensive.

In addition, Su Dongpo has now been demoted to Danzhou. Danzhou is far away on Hainan Island and was a wilderness in the Northern Song Dynasty. Demoting there is almost the same as sentenced to death. The journey is long, and the land is not suitable for the land and various plagues and diseases are all life. Besides, Su Dongpo is 63 this year...

This time I go, I will probably die in Qiongya!

As soon as Su Dongpo died, his calligraphy and painting works were no longer available and would be immediately fryed.

So after hearing this news, Guo Jing immediately sent Liu Wuji to find Wuhao, the ancient ones.

After Wu Haogu asked about the situation, he immediately called Lin Chong and followed Liu Wuji out of the inn. In the private room of a restaurant not far from the inn, he met Guo Jing and Wu Zhi and Wu Daguanren (who were Wu Yong) who were drinking and eating.

As soon as Wu Haogu entered the door, Guo Jing asked him, "Dalang, have you ever heard of a kaolian named Ma Panpan?"

"Ma Panpan?" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Is it Ma Panpan from Xuzhou?"

"It's her!" Wu Yong smiled, looked at Lin Chong who was following Wu Haogu, and bowed, "Wu Zhi, don't you know the name of this hero Gao?"

"In the lower Lin Chong." Lin Chong also bowed his hand and said his name, but did not mention the imperial guards.

In his opinion, it was embarrassing to make small money for businessmen as bodyguards.

If he hadn't been begging for a wife to buy a house, he wouldn't have gone this way!

"Brother Lin, can you wait outside for a while?" Wu Haogu said politely to Lin Chong.

"Okay." Lin Chong took a breath, then arched his hand, turned around and came out of the elegant seat.

He is now a bodyguard, so his employer naturally cannot listen to it when he is talking about business, so he has to guard outside the door...

It's really a place where heroes are useless!

Wu Haogu had no intention of thinking about the "hero" at this time, and he had been hooked by the bait thrown by Wu Yong.

The Ma Panpan mentioned by Guo Jing just now is also a famous celebrity in the calligraphy and painting industry. She was originally a gangster, but it was originally the head of the Shangdian in Xuzhou (the meaning of a famous person), but it was not the head of the Shangdian in the current Shangdian, but the head of the Shangdian when Su Dongpo was in Xuzhou nearly 20 years ago.

Everyone in the calligraphy, painting and scholar circles know that this beautiful character had been in love with Su Dongpo for two years (it was also possible to support Su Dongpo), and she could imitate Su Dongpo's words - to the eyes of laymen, she was a great talent.

However, from an expert like Wu Haogu, she must have a real copybook given by Su Dongpo!

If I hadn't copied it according to the copybook, it would be strange if I could imitate it!

"Is Ma Panpan going to make a copybook?"

There were rumors in the circle of scholars that after Su Dongpo went to Huzhou to become an official, Ma Panpan became sick due to similar diseases and died soon after.

However, Wu Haogu knew that this was nonsense. She and Su Dongpo really had such a deep relationship. Just go to Huzhou together. What kind of lovesickness is it that you have? Moreover, a "heaven and earthly" lady actually suffers from lovesickness. Isn't this too undedicated?

According to rumors in calligraphy and painting, Ma Panpan actually lived in seclusion in Xuzhou City. Because there were high-quality imitations of Su Dongpo's calligraphy works from Xuzhou to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Even this Ma Panpan wants to sell the copybook." He paused, "But she wants more than just money... or I would buy it even if I sell it."

Wu Haogu nodded, this explanation was reasonable.

Su Dongpo's copybook is a treasure with a career but no market, and the appreciation prospect is clear, so a fool will not take it immediately.

"What does she want?"

"Drawing!" Wu Yong looked at Wu Haogu, "a painting that could help her adopted daughter become famous in Kaifeng Mansion."

This matter is a bit strange!

Wu Haogu certainly had a way to help Ma Panpan's adopted daughter (there were many girls who changed their careers to become madams after retirement) became famous in Kaifeng Mansion... As long as her adopted daughter looks good enough.

However, this condition seems to be tailor-made for Wu Haogu, isn’t it a coincidence?

The experience of calligraphy, painting and antiques in this life tells Wu Haogu: No coincidence will happen!

All scams are made up by coincidences.

But what is the other party planning?

Scam money?

I am not a "good cause". I am also considered the number one figure in the calligraphy and painting business of Kaifeng Prefecture. How can I be so easy to cheat? If I can really deceive myself, then this copybook will be 70 to 80%.

Could it be that Ma Panpan knew his reputation and specially sent Wu Zhidao to find him?

If this is the case, you can go to Xuzhou. If you can get a real copybook from Su Dongpo, the price will increase several times when Lao Su quits it!

Moreover, Su Dongpo couldn't live long. It seemed that he died of illness on the way back to the north in the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo. It was only two or three years away.

Wu Haogu thought about it, but he was still not sure.

Guo Jing, who was standing beside him, was moved and said to Wu Haogu: "Dalang, it's just Xuzhou, it's a smooth road, so it's okay to have a trip."

His words were correct. If Wu Yong wanted to visit Yunzhou by Wu Haogu, he would not have gone to the name Su Dongpo, even Wang Xizhi's name.

But Xuzhou is a big city, not a place without royal laws. As long as you are careful, it should be fine.

However, Wu Haogu still needs to test Wu Zhi (Wu Yong).

"Master Wu, Liu Xiaoyi just told me, you want to buy some inexpensive calligraphy and paintings, right?"

"That's right." Wu Yong smiled, "Xuzhou is not as good as Kaifeng Prefecture. It's not easy to take action, just like it's a little worse."

"So, when will Master Wu look at the goods?" Wu Haogu asked, "How do you pay the bill?"

After hearing about Wu Haogu's question, Wu Yong was also a little embarrassed. He was just aware of calligraphy and painting, but not really understood. If he went to the inn to read calligraphy and painting, it would be easy to get rid of it.

In addition, Wu Haogu obviously had to take out some money first before he could believe that he was a real calligraphy and painting businessman.

If you can't afford the money and don't know much about calligraphy and painting, this game may be broken.

However, this problem is still not difficult for Zhiduoxing Wu Yong. He smiled and said, "The business is small, and Xuzhou is also poor. There is no such much communication. Even calligraphy and painting businesses can be settled with silver. However, when walking outside, I don't have enough silver. I have to go back to Xuzhou..."

This is true, communication is not a national banknote. Moreover, the business of Xuzhou calligraphy and painting stores is definitely not comparable to that of Kaifeng calligraphy and painting stores. They are mainly based on low-priced calligraphy and painting, and it is enough to use silver.

It is inconvenient for Yin to carry it, so no one can go out for a walk with tens of thousands of taels of silver without any trouble.

"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Hao Ancient Road, "I'm going to stay in Yingtian Mansion, it's better to last ten days."

"One word is determined."

Wu Yong was afraid that he would make mistakes if he said too much, so he used the excuse of having an appointment with someone, left the restaurant, returned to his residence, and reported to Song Jiang.

"Military advisor, this man surnamed Wu wants to test us."

Song Jiang's black face frowned slightly, "We still have a lot of copper coins and silver coins in our hands, but do you understand calligraphy and painting?"

"Brother, I don't know much about calligraphy and painting," Wu Yong said, "but I know where anyone knows calligraphy and painting.

There are also calligraphy and painting businesses in Yingtian Mansion, and there are also a few of my friends."

Although Song Jiang, a group of heroes, do business without capital, they still cannot do without the help of merchants, because the things they stole need to be sold, and there are also many calligraphy, painting, and literature.

So Wu Yong recognized several people who were in calligraphy and painting, and some of them were engaged in Yingtian Prefecture.

"Then come quickly," Song Jiang said, "If you take another hundred big silver, you will always have to act the trick."
