The sun gradually sets westward and is about to set.

But for the calligraphy, painting and antiques store in Panlou Street Market, the day's business has just begun. The lights are just on the rise, and the Panlou Street Market, which is still a snack street during the day, has now become a gathering place for various toys and artworks such as calligraphy, painting, art, art, fragrance, medicine, eagle, falcon, etc. The streets are full of idle things, and officials who come to find some treasures, cultural relics, wealthy businessmen, and scholars.

The so-called buying gold in troubled times and collecting antiques in prosperous times. Just look at the prosperity of Panlou Street Market, you will know that the Song Dynasty is at its peak. If it weren’t foresight, no one would have thought that in just over twenty years, there would be a great disaster.

However, Wu Dalang, who was a foresight, had no intention of considering the Jingkang Nian disaster at this moment, because his Wu Family Painting Zhai is facing a major disaster at the moment. If he couldn't get over it, he might have nothing, and he was worse than Wu Dalang, who sold cooked cakes.

I don’t know if it was because of the continuous "fake painting scandal" that Wujia Huazhai had almost no customers coming to the door tonight, while Wu Dalang sat in the corner of the store, drinking alone.

Feng Erniang and Wu Haowen all returned to the house in Tianshui Lane. Liu Wuji didn't know where he went. Only Wu Dalang was left in the shop. The shop had two floors, and the second floor was Wu Dalang's bedroom and studio. When the night market on Panlou Street ended, he usually slept in this shop.

But tonight, Wu Dalang will definitely find it difficult to fall asleep. Because he knew that there were no treasures in the Wu family that could make people like Wang Shu tempted!

But he had already stared at him and bitten him...

This matter is really hard to deal with!

He raised the wine bowl and Wu Dalang was about to drink it all, but he saw two men dressed in Taoist priests coming in from outside the shop.

"Dalang, why are you drinking alone?"

"Dalang, are you angry with that guy Zhao Sanhei?"

Wu Dalang was drunk and looked at the two of them. It turned out to be his two friends, Taoist Liu and Guo Banxian.

Taoist Liu is Liu Wuji. Guo Banxian is named Guo Jing, not Guo Jing, but he is also a man with a black face, born tall and powerful. He is a soldier of the imperial guards of Kaifeng Prefecture and a cavalry under the second command of the Tianwu Army. He also works part-time in fortune-telling around Panlou Street and Maxing Street, and also works as a private person in calligraphy and painting...

Let me explain here that private teeth (titles) in the Song Dynasty were rampant, and seven out of ten people who were scrambling to work on Panlou Street were part-time private teeth... Private teeth did not need a tooth shop, nor did they need deposits, nor did they need a card issued by the government. It was almost a capital-free business, so there were naturally more people who did it, but with more people, it would be difficult to make money.

Officials like Wu Cheng, who are famous for calligraphy and painting, are big businessmen who do not go all over the street to do business, so there are a large group of private teeth who are big and small to help run errands. Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are two of them, and they have a good relationship with Wu Dalang.

"It's Guo Sanlang and Liu Xiaoyi," Wu Dalang called on the visitor, "Sit down and have two drinks together."

Guo Banxian and Taoist Liu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, sat down on both sides of Wu Dalang. Guo Banxian said in a rough voice: "Dalang, I heard Liu Xiaoyi say that you were bullied by Zhao Sanheizi, and he cheated more than 7,000 yuan?"

He did not come to Panlou Street during the day, but went to the military camp... He is an imperial guard cavalry! Of course, he had to go to the military camp like Grand Official Pan, but his immediate kung fu was better than Grand Official Pan, at least he didn't fall down, but he still found an excuse to take a falsification.

He lowered his voice: "Dalang, you can't give this money... If there is a thousand knots, I will go to find a few brothers from the imperial guards and make Zhao Sanhei!"

Wu Dalang burped, "Don't make trouble."

Now that my family is being targeted, I have to deal with it carefully. As long as I can keep my peace for a month, it doesn’t matter if I spend more money.”

"But seven thousand two hundred chunks of money is not a decimal..." said Taoist Liu, "I don't know how many proofs I can buy."

The Song Dynasty's certificate was originally a kind of financial bill, which was sold in the "bank" of Pan Daguanren, but the price was not cheap at all. If you didn't buy it without a fortune, Liu Wuji would not know how long it would take to buy a Taoist priest's identity.

Guo Jing and Liu Wuji have been helping Wu Jia Huazhai to run errands, so both of them know that Wu Shicheng and Wu Haogu have the ability to make money by making fake paintings.

Moreover, the Wu family is obviously in trouble now, and it is estimated that in the end, they may not be able to gain a foothold in Kaifeng's calligraphy and painting business. At least they cannot support a painting vegetarian alone. If the Wu family wants to leave the emperor's feet, they will have to make a lot of money before leaving.

With a lot of money, the Wu family could only ask for "peace talisman" from the Pan family's generals, and in the future, they could make a comeback when they went elsewhere and continue their ancestral calligraphy and painting activities.

And this fortune was also an opportunity for Guo Jing and Liu Wuji. So Guo Jing returned to Panlou Street from the military camp and saw Liu Wuji. When he heard about Wu Dalang’s experience in the evening, he immediately thought of the way to fake paintings and make money.

This is probably the only way out for Wu Haogu today.

After a look at Guo Jing, Liu Wuji continued to say to Wu Haogu: "Dalang, 7,200 scattered pieces are not decimals. In the past, it was not very good for your family, but now... do you see if this Huazhai has any business coming?"

"So what? Isn't the calligraphy and painting business just not open for three years and have to eat for three years? With my ability, these 7,200 silks are not very basic. Even if we count the 18,000 silks that should be given to the palace, it is not impossible to raise them."

After saying this, Wu Dalang laughed and burped, which made Guo Jing and Liu Wuji feel that the opportunity was right in front of him.

Guo Jing said: "Dalang, you know your skills and Brother Xiao Yi. The Huang family's wealth can be a real person. The Wu family's style (Wu Daozi's style) also has a simple sketch..."

After drinking a lot of yellow soup, Wu Dalang, who was a little confused, suddenly became a little more awake when he heard Guo Jing's words. His eyes were filled with a hint of vigilance. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Guo Jing's arm.

"Guo Sanlang, are you harming me?"

"Hey? How did you say this?"

Guo Jing was stunned when he heard this and immediately asked back.

"Sanlang, don't you know that my family has been targeted? If there is another handle exposed..." Wu Dalang looked at the two friends in front of him with a bright look as he spoke.

He said he was a friend, but he was just a friend of wine and meat.

"Hi, how could you show your handle?" Guo Jing smiled, "I didn't ask you to do it in your own painting camp."

Liu Wuji also said: "You can sell it at the Daxiangguo Temple and the ghost market at the intersection of the East Cross Street. Dalang, don't come forward. I and Brother Guo San will do it and keep it in stock."

There is more than one calligraphy and painting market in Kaifeng Prefecture City, but there are three markets in total.

Panlou Street Market is the largest and most standardized market. People who are engaged in business like Wu Chengzhi are mostly related to the Hanlin Painting Academy and the Book and Art Bureau. They can get high-quality goods, even if they are fakes, they are of high quality.

The market of Daxiangguo Temple is combined with temple fairs. It opens eight times a month, that is, on the first day of the month, and on the eighth day. It is not just selling calligraphy, painting, literature and entertainment, but everything. There are also people performing acrobatics there. In fact, it is a regular market. The quality of calligraphy, painting, literature and entertainment purchased there is uneven, most of them are shoddy fakes, but sometimes one or two fine products appear. These fine products are mainly dismissed from officials and taken to Daxiangguo Temple to make secret moves.

The calligraphy and paintings sold in Daxiangguo Temple are usually not worth much even if they are fine (not necessarily true). However, if a real high-priced high-quality product is not in the Panlou Street market, it must appear in the Guishi on East Cross Street.

The so-called "Ghost Market" refers to the transaction method of "trading without meeting each other". There are many tea shops on the East Cross Street that are the locations for trading in the Ghost Market. There are usually lights at 5 o'clock in the morning (after 4 o'clock in the morning) and the transaction will be scattered at dawn. The goods traded are common and unknown, and they are not very good at calligraphy, painting, and arts. Those who buy goods are all experts in the calligraphy, painting, and arts industry. Wu Dalang and Wu Cheng, father and son, are also frequent visitors to the East Cross Street.

If Wu Dalang wants to make fake paintings now, he can only ship them in Daxiangguo Temple and the East Cross Street Guishizi.

Moreover, there is only one way to fake it, which can make Wu Dalang gain a lot of money in the short term... As long as he has money, he can slip away from Kaifeng and settle his home in Yangzhou first, and then go to Hangzhou to buy a house and buy land after Fang La rebelled. He will most likely be able to survive the chaos in the future.

So Wu Haogu had already made such a plan.

"My family and Mr. Pan are old friends," Wu Dalang looked at the two friends in front of him and said word by word, "If you really can't protect your family business, you can still join the Pan family."

His words were just to scare Guo Jing and Liu Wuji. Mr. Pan was not the head of the Pan family's generals, he was just an eighth-rank Bingyilang. If the "big evil people" who were punishing the Wu family really had to take ruthless measures, Mr. Pan would not be responsible for the matter at all.

However, just one word from Mr. Pan can still make people like Guo Jing and Liu Wuji disappear on the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture forever!

So as long as the Wu family's father and son do not die, they can join the subordinates of Pan Daguanren with their abilities. If it were Guo Jing and Liu Wuji dared to harm Wu Dalang, they would be unlucky at that time.

"That's, that's it." Guo Jing's face remained unchanged. "In fact, it's not very important that way. With your Wu Dalang's skills, you can't come at random? You don't have to be tired of the store, and your life will be more relaxed."

"Yes," Liu Wuji also said, "Isn't the Li Zhang case in Pan Family Quality Deposit just such a happy and careless one?"

The Pan Family Quality Database is affiliated with a gold, silver and silk store, and mainly lends to calligraphy, painting and cultural relics stores in Panlou Street Market. Naturally, it requires the attention of big experts. Liu Wuji mentioned that the Li Zhang case is a big expert, and he is a big expert!

This person's name is Li Tang, and he is one of the "Four Southern Song Technological Masters" in history. His works are also placed in the Palace Museum (including the Palace Museum in Taipei and Beijing) - Panlou Street Market is really hidden!

"That's right." Seeing Guo Jing and Liu Wuji's reaction, Wu Dalang no longer had doubts - he was a little nervous now, and everyone seemed to be sent by a "big evil man".

"It's still not possible for me to wait for the three of you," Wu Dalang let go of Guo Jing's arm and thought, "You have to call the monk. The four brothers together, so that the business can prosper."

The monk's surname is Fu, and now he is a young monk from Daxiangguo Temple. Before becoming a monk, he also hangs out with Maxing Street in Panlou Street. He met Wu Dalang, Guo Jing, Liu Wuji and others for a long time. He had a good relationship. Recently, he became a master of a master named "Sauce Pig Garden", and it seemed to be a little bit of power. If you take him, Wu Haogu would be able to rent a monk's house in Daxiangguo Temple and make fake paintings safely.

After making up his mind, Wu Dalang said to Guo Jing. Liu Wuji said, "Third brother, fifth brother, I have something here. You can take it to the monk from Daxiangguo Temple and tell the monk that I will move to live with him in three days."

"Okay, let's go here." Guo Jing replied with a smile.

Liu Wuji nodded: "Dalang, my brother will follow you from now on, but if you have any questions, just speak."
