Jiang Zhendao: "It's just this one, why isn't it the same drawing paper?"
Chen Qing pointed at the painting and gritted his teeth: "You said this is something passed down from the family's ancestors?"
Jiang Zhen nodded: "Yes, that's what people told me!"
Chen Qing shouted: "This is the drawing paper from Songtai Paper Shop! How many years has Songtai Paper Shop been open? You told me that it was passed down from ancestors?"
Jiang Zhendao: "Then he lied to me!"
Chen Qing shouted angrily: "If someone lied to you, why would you lie to me?"
Jiang Zhen shrugged: "I don't know either!"
Chen Qing waved his hand: "Give me the money!"
Jiang Zhen refused: "You have rubbed the painting into this, and you still want me to withdraw it?"
Chen Qing looked over and glared angrily: "Ten taels of silver for this painting of yours is too much!"
Jiang Zhen curled his lips: "You yourself were willing to spend two hundred taels of silver to buy it. You said I cheated on you, and I also said that you cheated on me. You took away my real painting and brought a fake one to me to ask for money."
Chen Qing threatened: "Do you want to retreat?"
Jiang Zhen closed his eyes and looked away: "Don't retreat!"
Chen Qing nodded: "Okay, let's see if I don't destroy your stall!" He went home with Huang Ming, found Xu Yu, Guo Qi, and Ma Shaojian, and then returned.
Several people surrounded Jiang Zhen's painting stall.
Chen Qing rolled up his sleeves: "Refund the money!"
Jiang Zhen smiled sinisterly: "You want to fight with me?"
Chen Qingdao: "If you don't refund the money, you will be beaten!"
Jiang Zhen snorted coldly: "I'm not afraid of you even if I do it!"
Huang Ming said angrily: "Are you looking for a fight? Beat him!" He, Xu Yu and others swarmed forward.
Jiang Zhen fought one against four with ease. He parried with one hand and calmly responded with the other. After a while, he knocked Huang Yu and others to the ground.
Chen Qing was so frightened that his legs weakened and he ran away: "You cheated me out of money, and you also hit people?"
Jiang Zhen tilted his head and smiled and asked: "Why don't I lie to others? Do you think you are the smartest in the world?"
Only then did Chen Qing realize that this was clearly a trap set up by Jiang Zhenbu, who specialized in defrauding people who were greedy for money.
Chen Qing nodded: "Just wait for me!" He and Huang Ming returned home.
Several people were sitting in the hall discussing, and Chen Qing asked: "What should we do?"
Xu Yu said: "Master, this guy knows some kung fu, let's go to the martial arts hall to find Xu Qiying!"
Huang Ming shook his head: "This is strange. I thought this painting was real. Why did it suddenly become fake?"
Chen Qing slapped the tea cup on the table: "The bag must have been switched to me!"
Huang Ming said: "I think the master should go to Yulou Mountain to find Lin Xiaodong. He will definitely be able to see through the tricks of the painting seller."
Chen Qing slapped his thigh and said, "Yes! I'll go right away!" He and Huang Ming took a carriage to Yulou Mountain.
Lin Xiaodong went out to meet him.
Chen Qing bowed his hands and said, "I'm here to see Lin Xiaodong, Taoist Master Lin."
Lin Xiaodong returned the gift: "That's someone."
Chen Qing was surprised and said: "Taoist Master Lin is so young?"
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Why do you want to see me?"
Chen Qingdao: "That's right, I was defrauded of money, so I wanted to come to Taoist Lin for help."
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand: "Please come to the living room to talk in detail." Several people went to sit down in the living room. Chen Qing said: "My surname is Chen Mingqing. I am engaged in shop leasing business in the city. I like calligraphy and painting on weekdays. Yesterday I went to the street and met a painting seller.
A street vendor saw a painting of the auspicious deer fairy by the former Mr. Lin Qianji.
I bought the painting of a crane, but when I saw it this morning, it turned out that the original painting was a fake. I went to argue with him, but I didn’t expect that the painting seller had practiced so much that none of my four men could beat him, so I came to see Taoist Lin.”
Lin Daochang raised his eyebrows: "Then what does Mr. Chen want to do with me?"
Chen Qingdao: "I didn't come to fight with Taoist Lin. I was just teased. I felt unhappy and looked away. I also wanted to be teased by my friends. So I want to know how he lost the authentic work I bought."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Mr. Chen, are you sure what you bought is authentic?"
Chen Qingdao: "I have been playing with calligraphy and painting for more than 20 years, and I sometimes make mistakes, but I swear I am not wrong about this picture of auspicious deer and crane."
Lin Xiaodong looked up: "Did he steal it in the middle of the night?"
Chen Qing shook his head: "It's not that easy for more than ten people from the nursing home in my house to steal in the middle of the night."
Lin Xiaodong glanced sideways: "You said he is good at fighting?"
Huang Ming nodded: "The four of us beat him one, and he had one hand behind his back. We have also practiced, and we have never seen such skill."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Okay, I will investigate this matter."
Chen Qing stood up, thanked him and said goodbye.
Lin Xiaodong sent the person away, thought for a while, and then disappeared.
Lin Xiaodong came to Guxiangju.
Jin Xing came out and was stunned: "Oh, Taoist priest Lin is here, please come quickly." He invited people into the hall.
Shi Yueling came to see him in a hurry, her face was red, she bowed her head and said, "Taoist Master Lin is here!"
Lin Xiaodong returned the courtesy and took his seat, asking: "How is Boss Shi doing lately?"
Shi Yueling said: "Thanks to Taoist Lin, everything is so good for the little girl. How come Taoist Lin is here? Could it be that he misses me?"
Lin Xiaodong chuckled: "It was Mr. Chen Qingchen who came to see me."
Shi Yueling raised her eyebrows: "He also came to see me this morning."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Mr. Chen asked me to see how he was deceived."
Shi Yueling said: "How else can I be deceived? If people are not greedy, they will not be deceived."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "What Boss Shi said is absolutely true."
Shi Yueling lowered her head and whispered: "Taoist Lin, don't call me boss."
Lin Xiaodong said: "What about Miss Shi?"
Shi Yueling nodded sideways and nodded.
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin doesn't know how to calligraphy and painting, so he came to Miss Shi for help."
Shi Yueling turned around: "What do you want me to do?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Let Miss Shi be taken advantage of for once."
Shi Yueling smiled: "I just wanted to see who could deceive Boss Chen."
Lin Xiaodong, Shi Yueling, and Ding Lanying came to Houshi Street.
Jiang Zhen was still there, but no one showed up at the painting stall.
Jiang Zhen asked: "Miss, are you buying paintings?" His eyes glanced at Lin Xiaodong from time to time.
Shi Yueling stepped forward to take a look, her eyes lit up, and she picked up a picture of persimmons: "Oh, Zhu Maoji's persimmons are as expected?"
Jiang Zhen smiled and said: "Miss, you have good eyesight."
Shi Yueling asked: "Is this a real thing?"
Jiang Zhendao: "It doesn't take that much effort to fake things that are only a few decades old."
Shi Yueling showed the picture to Lin Xiaodong and said, "The paper, seal, ink marks and painter are all right."
Lin Xiaodong nodded and asked, "Where did this picture come from?"
Jiang Zhen chuckled: "Taoist Priest, these are all collected from everywhere. It's really inconvenient to tell you the channels."
Shi Yueling asked: "How much does it cost?"
Jiang Zhendao: "Miss, you also said that this is an authentic work, one hundred and eighty taels."
Shi Yueling was stunned: "It's really not cheap."
Jiang Zhendao: "Miss, I think you are knowledgeable. This price is acceptable."
Shi Yueling looked at Jiang Zhen: "Your stall is not big, but there are a lot of things." Jiang Zhen said: "There must be a few useful things."
