Su Hui also looked at Qin Haodong, her originally smiling face also showed concern. Everything was done so perfectly, but the fake was a fake after all, and it couldn't be compared with the real thing anyway.
"It's nothing, just deal with it."
As he spoke, Qin Haodong took the written IOU and rolled it into a scroll. His palms were filled with Qingmu Qi, and he lightly wiped it across the note. When he opened it again, everything changed.
The rice paper that was as white as snow just now turned extremely yellow, as if it had been washed away by countless years. The writing and seals on the rice paper also became dull, without any new marks, and the entire scroll looked like a
Simple atmosphere.
"It's done this time, old man, what do you think?"
Qin Haodong said and placed the IOU in front of Liu Qigong again.
At this time, Liu Qigong's expression was dull, his lips were trembling, and his outstretched hands were also trembling. He took the scroll that Qin Haodong had just made in his hand, and looked at the note in front of him. His eyes were not only shocked, but also shocked. He was extremely shocked!
He is an authority in the Department of Archeology and an expert in this field across the country. He personally authenticated the credential that was just taken out from Wei Zhongxian's tomb.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any flaws in the fake Qin Haodong had just made. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was an ancient object dug out of a tomb.
Qin Haodong was not idle either. When Liu Qigong was shocked, he also made a letter of credence from the Bangbang Kingdom to the Ming Dynasty. The two things were more convincing when paired together.
After he finished his work, Liu Qigong recovered from the shock. Looking back at this handsome young man, he felt that his outlook on life had collapsed.
What kind of monster is this? He couldn't find any flaws in the ancient artifacts he made casually!
"Xiao Qin, how did you do it?"
Liu Qigong asked this somewhat naive question again.
Qin Haodong smiled and said: "Didn't you see everything? The handwriting is good, the carrot carving is good, plus I have sold fake antiques for several years, and that's it."
Liu Qigong couldn't help but said: "What on earth do you do? Aren't you a doctor? How come you have been doing everything for several years?"
"Being a doctor is your main job, and the rest are your hobbies. Don't waste time on both." Qin Haodong said with a smile, "Okay, the old man is still waiting there, we have to go back as soon as possible."
"Wait a minute, my old man will go with you to have a look."
Liu Qigong got into the car with the two people. Now he was also curious and wanted to see how Qin Haodong teased these awesome Chinese people.
When the three people reappeared in the auditorium of Shanghai Medical University, the whole place immediately became agitated, and everyone's eyes fell on the two scrolls in Qin Haodong's hands.
Seeing Qin Haodong really holding something in his hand, Li Mintai's relaxed heart immediately rose. Could it be that what this young man said was true, and that Bangbang Country really paid an IOU to the Ming Dynasty? No matter how he thought about it, this was not true.
Unlikely.
Lee Joong Ki whispered: "Father, I guess what this boy is holding must be a fake. Fortunately, we brought Mr. Cui Hongcheng, an antique appraisal expert, this time. He will definitely see through this boy's tricks."
Li Mintai nodded. In order to prove that his "Compendium of Materia Medica" was authentic at this cultural exchange meeting, he specially invited Cui Hongcheng, an authoritative figure in Bangbang country's antique appraisal from China.
As soon as the father and son said this, Cui Hongcheng, who was sitting in the audience, stood up, walked quickly towards Qin Haodong, and said respectfully to the old man beside him: "Teacher, why are you here?"
When they got outside, expert Liu Qigong was still very impressive. He nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm just coming over to take a look."
It turns out that Cui Hongcheng was once a graduate student at Modu University and a student of Liu Qigong, and 80% of his antique appraisal skills were learned from him.
Lee Joong Ki said: "What's going on? How does Mr. Choi know that old man?"
Li Mintai said: "Don't worry about this. Mr. Cui Hongcheng has always been known for his fairness. Even our father and son cannot affect his appraisal results."
Liu Qigong thought for a moment and said to Cui Hongcheng: "You can come along too. Your appraisal may be needed later."
He knew that Bangbang Country would not easily believe Qin Haodong's statement and would definitely evaluate this IOU.
The four of them went on stage together, and Qin Haodong said to Li Mintai: "I brought the things."
Turning around, he said to Alice: "President Alice, please be a witness."
Su Hongbo and Fang Helun also looked at Qin Haodong's hands, with expressions of nervousness, worry and a hint of excitement.
After he finished speaking, he placed the scroll in his hand on the table and slowly opened it. The cameraman conducting the live broadcast next to him quickly turned the camera around for fear of missing any details.
After unfolding the scroll, Qin Haodong said: "This is the credential of your Bangbang country to the Ming Dynasty. Professor Li should know these ancient Chinese characters based on his research on the "Compendium of Materia Medica", right?"
Li Mintai looked at the scroll with a serious look. He was indeed proficient in ancient Chinese characters and quickly understood the content. The main idea was that the medical skills of Bangbang country were backward and he begged the Ming Dynasty for help by borrowing the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and so on. Medical works help people in Bangbang country relieve their illnesses.
If this credential is authentic, it means two things. First, Bangbang is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Second, the Compendium of Materia Medica was borrowed from China.
Qin Haodong opened the second scroll and said, "Look at it again. This is the IOU for borrowing the Compendium of Materia Medica."
Li Mintai moved his eyes over. This was indeed an IOU, indicating that Bangbang had borrowed the Ming Dynasty's Compendium of Materia Medica and other medical works.
"This...this can't be true!"
As a Korean doctor, he knew very well who the Compendium of Materia Medica belonged to, but he was convinced that China would not leave relevant evidence, and could not prove that the Compendium of Materia Medica came from China. He never dreamed that this young man would actually come up with an IOU.
Qin Haodong said calmly: "Professor Li, didn't you bring an expert here? You can let him identify it."
Li Mintai turned to look at Cui Hongcheng: "Mr. Cui, this thing must be fake. Please identify it."
Cui Hongcheng said: "It is okay to appraise antiques, but I am only responsible for the appraisal and will not participate in your debate. And before I give the results, please do not make any conclusions."
Li Mintai smiled awkwardly. This stubborn guy didn't save any face for himself in front of so many people.
"What Mr. Cui said is true or false, and it depends on your appraisal results."
Cui Hongcheng nodded, turned to Liu Qigong and said, "Teacher, how about you come with me?"
Liu Qigong shook his head and said: "This is something from China, and it is also my collection. If it is inconvenient for me to authenticate it again, you should do it."
"Teacher, your character is an example for me to learn from. I have been working hard to learn from you these years."
After Cui Hongcheng finished speaking, he took out the white gloves, magnifying glass and other tools he brought with him and began to identify them.
Liu Qigong has a very good reputation in the antique appraisal world, and he is fair and unbiased. Cui Hongcheng has inherited this quality in Bangbang Country. He is meticulous in antique appraisal and will not affect his conclusion for any reason.
Even if this is Liu Qigong's collection, if he thinks it is fake, he will point it out in public without any hesitation.
He came to the two scrolls and began to examine them carefully. When he saw the handwriting on the scrolls clearly, he exclaimed, "Oh my God, this is the original work of Mr. Park Dagen."
Li Mintai had a bad feeling and asked, "Mr. Cui, are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure." Cui Hongcheng said solemnly, "Mr. Park Dagen is the master of calligraphy in Bangbang country. I have regarded him as my idol since I was a child and have studied his calligraphy for many years.
His handwriting is not only strong and powerful, but also light and elegant, extremely spiritual, and unique in its own way. I believe no one else in the world can write this kind of handwriting.
There is a calligraphy and painting by Mr. Park Dagen hanging in my room, which is exactly the same as the calligraphy on it. I am sure that this is definitely the original work of Mr. Park Dagen, and no one else can imitate it."
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Liu Qigong coughed violently and almost choked to death on his own saliva.
What he said is so certain. If his students knew that Qin Haodong wrote this calligraphy in just a few minutes, how would they feel?
Cui Hongcheng turned to look at him and asked, "Teacher, is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Everything you said is right, I just caught a cold these past two days and had a bit of a cough."
Although Liu Qigong was a fair man, this "Compendium of Materia Medica" originally belonged to China. Of course he would not be so stubborn, otherwise he would not follow.
After receiving the teacher's affirmation, Cui Hongcheng was in high spirits and continued to identify. When he saw the seal below, he exclaimed again: "This is the national seal of the Bangbang Kingdom. In ancient times, only very important documents would use this kind of seal."
Seal, I can guarantee it with my head, it is absolutely true."
"Cough...cough...cough..."
Liu Qigong coughed violently again. His disciple really dared to say anything. He even put his head on the seal someone dug out of a big carrot.
This time, even Su Hui's usually quiet face showed a smile. If her grandfather hadn't identified it, she would really have thought that this Bangbang country's antique appraisal expert was a parallel import.
But now it seems that it is obviously not the case. It can only show that Qin Haodong's method is so clever that it can be as fake as real. He used a carrot to deceive two experts from China and Bangbang.
Of course Cui Hongcheng didn't know this, so he turned around and said, "Teacher, I know you are very dedicated, but you must pay more attention to your health!"
"I will!"
Liu Qigong covered his mouth and said.
Cui Hongcheng turned around and carefully appraised the two scrolls again. After 10 minutes, he raised his head and said, "My appraisal results are out."
