Tao Guangming's face froze and he picked it up: "Impossible. I weighed it and measured the volume. The specific gravity is about the same."
He picked up the "old monk" and stretched it out in front of Li Wenjun: "Venus ink jade, the background is like ink, and the spots are like gold, it can't be wrong."
Li Wenjun did not take the jade stone, but said: "The specific gravity is about the same. Do you have a magnet here?"
Tao Guangming nodded: "Yes, there happens to be a magnet in the desk. It was confiscated from the profiteers in the farmer's market. They sucked the magnet under the scale pan and deceived customers."
He didn't know what Li Wenjun was going to do, so he took out a magnet and handed it to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun leaned the iron magnet against the "old monk".
The iron sucker actually sucked it up, sucked it up, sucked it up...
Even though Tao Guangming didn't know much about jade, he still saw the problem. His eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "I'll wipe it!!"
"Honestly, your box is worth more than this stone." Li Wenjun stood up, "Let's go, take me to the craftsman, and hurry up before he moves or cuts the original stone."
Tao Guangming jumped into the car while cursing: "Damn, someone dares to slander me right under my nose. I'm so angry. Fortunately, I trusted him so much because I thought he was an old craftsman. I'm really blind."
"
Li Wenjun comforted him: "This thing is too valuable, and it is inevitable that people will be interested in making money. Besides, it is your first time doing this kind of work, so it is not surprising that you were cheated. It will be better if you have experience in the future."
Tao Guangming's eyes turned red with anger: "Damn it, I really admire him. Where did he find the stone in such a short time and he can imitate it so well? I'll have to grab him and ask him carefully later. He has such ability.
, wouldn’t it be good to take the right path and earn money from crafts honestly? You should imitate others’ stealing.”
Li Wenjun said nothing. In fact, besides being angry, he was also very excited.
I never thought that in this day and age, in this small county, I could still meet experts.
-----
Tao Guangming parked the car in an alley, jumped out of the car, and kicked open the closed door: "Come out, Old Man Sun, come out here."
The people inside were so frightened that they hid in the back room.
An old man was sitting at the work table, busy hiding things under the table.
Li Wenjun's eyes were sharp and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the thing in his hand was exactly the rough stone he had given to Tao Guangming a few days ago.
As long as the thing is still there and hasn't changed, he has a way to ask the person to hand it over.
Old Man Sun's lips trembled, but he still said stiffly: "Comrade Tao Guangming, it is against the law for you to break into a private house like this."
Tao Guangming smiled angrily: "Hurry up and call the police."
Old Man Sun didn't move: "What do you want to do? You want me to help you carve jade. I've given everything to you. I'll keep all the money and goods. I won't recognize you when I go out."
Tao Guangming put the "old monk" in front of Old Man Sun: "You are telling lies with your eyes open. See if this is the stone I gave you? You bully me because I don't know the goods, so you use a worthless stone to pretend to be."
Old Man Sun scratched his head and said, "This is the piece."
Tao Guangming was so angry that he reached out and was about to slap Old Man Sun, but Li Wenjun stopped him.
If they really take action, they originally came to reason but instead they came to rob.
Besides, Old Man Sun is thin and small, and he will be in trouble when Tao Guangming slaps him out of trouble.
Li Wenjun said calmly: "Comrade Sun, you have been an old craftsman for decades. Take a good look at this piece. Is it really gold star ink jade?"
Old Man Sun scratched his head and said, "He gave me the piece of gold star and black jade."
Li Wenjun picked up the "old monk" and said: "This carving is really good. It has a far-reaching Zen meaning, both form and spirit, and is of great collection value. One minute on stage is worth ten years of work off stage. You can tell at a glance that the person who carved this is a great person."
I have spent most of my life on this."
Old Man Sun stared at the "old monk" with gentle eyes, as if looking at his own child.
Even if it is a piece of bad material, it is still a work that he put a lot of thought into.
Li Wenjun shook his head: "The carving is good, but it's a pity that the stone is fake, and it's a pity that all this time was wasted."
He knocked the "old monk" on the table, and the old monk immediately split in the middle.
The middle is as dark as ink, without any stars.
Tao Guangming's eyes widened and he couldn't help but cursed: "I'll wipe it."
Li Wenjun said slowly: "If you use black kava stone to drill holes and touch it with gold paint and then polish it, you can only deceive a layman like Tao Guangming. The gold paint can only touch the outside, but the inside is still completely black. This thing
, worthless.”
Old Suntou didn't expect him to be so cruel, and he smashed the "old monk" directly in front of him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Tao Guangming also came to his senses and sneered: "If you don't have something wrong in your heart, why do you want to look like Venus and Moyu outside?"
Li Wenjun continued: "You can call the police now. He can tell clearly where Tao Guangming's gold star ink jade came from and who gave it to him. Can you? Just check and you will know your black kava stone
, where did it come from? If you take out our stone now, we will let you go because you are old. If you don't take it out now, I can take it away later, and you will be here again in the future.
Don’t even think about messing around in one line.”
Old Man Sun's lips trembled for a long time, and finally he took out his hand from under the table in despair and put the stone on the table.
Tao Guangming immediately picked it up and handed it to Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun walked out.
Old Man Sun touched the wall and wanted to run back, but Tao Guangming pointed his finger at him and stared at him, so he had to come back and sit down.
Li Wenjun came back again: "Well, this is it."
Tao Guangming hurriedly took the stone and put it in his pocket.
Li Wenjun was not in a hurry to leave, and asked Old Man Sun: "Tell me, who ordered you?"
Old Man Sun stammered: "No... no one ordered me."
Li Wenjun narrowed his eyes: "Tao Guangming gave you the jade material just three days ago. If someone hadn't given it to you early in the morning, where would you have gotten a black kava stone of similar size in just a few days?"
Old Man Sun was dumbfounded and couldn't answer.
The origin of black kava stone is a thousand kilometers away from here. In this era of inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped logistics, even if a friend helps to mail it, the goods will not arrive within a month or two.
"You have been carving jade honestly for decades, do you really want to ruin your reputation just this time? How much money can that person give you, and how much is this jade worth? If you are guilty of fraud of over 100 yuan, it will be judged against the law. At your age,
Maybe he will die in prison."
"He said you couldn't find it, and even if you were suspicious, this piece of Venus ink jade had already been cut into pieces and sent away. By then you have no evidence and no way to do it. If it works, give me 200 yuan. It's a pity that I will do it all my life.
There are so many jades and I have never seen so much money, so I agreed."
