The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 223 Two Choices
Hua Saburo looked at the painting of "Luo Shen Fu" on the wall, and he asked: "Master, do you think such a precious painting can be real? According to my understanding, authentic works should not be kept in places like the Imperial Palace? It's not that I look down on the Qiu family, but I don't believe they can own such a rare treasure!"

Feng Jiuxiao stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the painting to observe the brushstrokes, and said softly: "Anything is possible. Don't forget that the Qiu family is rich, very rich, and having money can make ghosts turn the clock, not to mention just buying a painting That's all."

Hanasaburo repeatedly nodded in agreement.

Money is a cow!
He, Huahua Taisui, naturally understands this truth better than anyone else!

It's just that the pattern of thinking about the problem is still a bit small!

Why do I feel that the Qiu family can't afford this painting?
The Qiu family is really rich, and they don't care about money at all!Describing Qiu Jiagen as wealthy is an insult to them!It should be described as billions of dollars!Counted in hundreds of millions of taels of silver!
Hanasaburo's picture of buying paintings in his brain:

1 taels or not?Not enough to give you [-]!

Twenty thousand is not enough to give you one hundred thousand!

One hundred thousand is not enough to give you one million!

100 million is not enough to give you 1000 million!

Until it hits your heart!
Hua Sanlang thought: As long as he is willing to throw money at it, the other party will obediently admit defeat sooner or later, and finally present the painting with both hands respectfully!As long as the Qiu family is willing, it is entirely possible to own this painting.

It's just that I don't have much interest in these pen and ink paintings, and I am definitely not "willing" to buy such sky-high prices!

Therefore, just now, it is natural and reasonable to think that the Qiu family is not "willing to part with".

In fact, I really don't blame myself for thinking that the Qiu family would not pay a high price for this famous painting!
Because this painting is a priceless treasure, the poor really can't afford it!Rich people really don't want to!

"Luo Shen Fu Tu" is the weeping blood of Gu Kaizhi, a generation of painters who were known as "excellent talent, excellent painting, and infatuation" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. do!

The world calls it one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation in the world!

The price of 1000 million taels of silver is a desecration of this painting!The price of [-] million is barely worthy of its value!
The painting is based on Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu".

"Its shape is as light as a frightened bird, and as gentle as a swimming dragon. It is full of chrysanthemums in autumn and luxuriant in spring. It is as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the wind."

"Ling waves make small steps, and the socks are dusty. If you move impermanently, you will feel as if you are in danger; if you are in a difficult period, you will be as if you are going back. Turn around, and your face will be radiant and beautiful. Without words, the breath is like an orchid. Hua Rong Graceful, makes me forget my meal."

This is the famous story about Luoshen through the ages. One person has a Luoshen in his heart, and a thousand people have a different Luoshen in his heart. Only Gu Kaizhi's painting makes everyone unable to find fault!
Gu Kaizhi's brushwork is like a spring silkworm spinning silk, light and smooth, which is called "iron line drawing" by later generations.

Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty commented on Gu Kaizhi's paintings: "Tight and continuous, the cycle is super-short, the style is easy, the wind tends to thunder, the intention is kept first, the painting is full of intention, so the whole mind is also."

It can be seen that later generations have a high evaluation of Gu Kaizhi!
Feng Jiuxiao looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "Sanlang is right, it is really possible that it is a fake!"

Hua Sanlang looked pale, and was about to hit the iron while the iron was hot, boasting a few exaggerated expressions, when he suddenly saw Liu Miezhou's eyes were cold, as if glaring at him, he quickly restrained himself, and finally held back his words.

But he was still unwilling. In order to continue to show his sense of existence, he deliberately had nothing to say, and asked Feng Jiuxiao: "Master, how much do you think this painting can sell for?"

Feng Jiuxiao glanced at him, and it seemed that another familiar figure suddenly appeared in his eyes. He smiled slightly and said, "I have never sold a painting before, so how would I know how much I can sell it for? But the technique of the copyer is also wonderful. Hao Dian, it must be a generation of famous artists, this painting should be a copy of the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a fake, it should be worth a lot of money!"

Hua Saburo asked: "By the way, owner, how do you know it's a fake?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "First of all, a genuine work has soul and charm! To put it simply, the real work has vitality, while the fake one has lifelessness! Do you know what it means to have a well-thought-out plan?"

Hua Saburo said: "It's just that you are sure about doing things."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Yes. A sage said that to paint bamboo, you must first have a mature bamboo in your chest. When you hold the pen and look at it carefully, you will see what you want to paint. Follow it eagerly, keep your pen straight, and follow what you see. Like a rabbit ups and downs, less verticality will lead to death. That is to say, bamboo painters must first have a well-thought-out plan before they can paint like flying, and they can be done in one go! Only then can they flow like clouds and flowing water, heartily! You think, fleeting, that is to say, if the speed is slow, it will be gone. No, the bamboo in his heart will disappear or become deformed, and the whole painting will become more and more out of shape, farther and farther away from the original intention, and finally become more and more unnatural! The original painting is based on the bamboo painting , combining the artist's own conception and imagination, compact structure, strict layout, perfect fit of mood and brushwork, the connection between each stroke and each stroke can be seamless and seamless, and people can't see the slightest abruptness. That is Later generations said that the meaning is stored in the brush first, and the painting is full of meaning! The fake is a picture of a cat and a tiger, and it is naturally lifeless to draw a bamboo against a dead bamboo! And the painting in front of me has at least three stagnant and stuck places, which is obviously not a stroke. As far as the artistic conception of this painting is concerned, there is no need to stop at these places, and in terms of Gu Kaizhi's skill, these places are impossible to stop, so it must be that later generations cannot trace in one go. caused loopholes.

In addition, the paper quality of the Jin Dynasty has become somewhat withered and yellow after a hundred years of vicissitudes, but this fading is caused by countless years of erosion. The color change is natural and subtle, so there is no trace to be found. The yellow and white changes of the rice paper used in this painting The difference is clear, it is obviously processed by humans, and the signs of fraud are slightly obvious. "

Hua Sanlang observed carefully, followed Feng Jiuxiao's fingers with his eyes, paused, and finally found some abnormalities, he couldn't help but praised: "The owner is worthy of being a pedantic heavenly man, he can even tell whether this painting is true or not. Come out! Great! If you don’t tell me, I really can’t see it! I can only guess that the painting is fake, if you say that this painting is real, I will believe it too! Hehe, I have learned a lot today! It’s amazing, you can’t accept it!”

Feng Jiuxiao also looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Why do you see that Sanlang has more and more shadows of the Heavenly Army?"

Hua Sanlang didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, he said solemnly: "Li Tianjun just pretends to understand, he just praises the owner without principle for the sake of flattering the owner, I only know the essence of it more and more The greatness of the owner of the villa is the admiration and admiration from the heart, which are completely different concepts from Tianjun, how can I have his shadow in me?" Li Tianjun, who was hundreds of miles away, suddenly hit A few sneezes, "Who the hell is talking about me again!"

But I saw Qiu Shao coming in from the outside.

As soon as Qiu Shao came in, Feng Jiuxiao already knew that Mrs. Qiu must not agree!
Young Master Qiu's eyes were already full of hostility and guard!This is what was not there just now!
The old fox is really an old fox!
In a few words, Young Master Qiu changed his mind!
But it doesn't matter.

As expected.

Feng Jiuxiao remained calm and pretended not to know and asked, "How about Young Master Qiu, what does the old man mean?"

Qiu Shao smiled and said: "The old man said that he has more energy than energy, well, the Qiu family will not get involved in dealing with the Zhang family."

Feng Jiuxiao said with a smile: "There is more than enough heart but not enough strength? Don't Zhang and Qiu have been fighting to kill each other? Why did Mr. Qiu back down when it was time to get serious? Could it be that the two have been acting for others to see?" ?”

Qiu Shao was startled, and said with a dry smile, "Where? Where? How is it possible?"

Feng Jiuxiao continued to smile and said: "Caizhou has four major families, and Gwangju has two powerhouses competing for hegemony. Young Master Qiu, don't you think the layout of these two places is a bit similar? If I guessed correctly, these are Zhu's families. The old man, the old man Qiu and the old man Zhang worked hard to negotiate together, right? Haha, right?"

Qiu Shao's face sank like water, and he didn't know how to answer.The other party is clearly hiding a knife in his smile!

Feng Jiuxiao said to himself: "There is a fable about a monk who carries water to eat, two monks who carry water to eat, and three monks who have no water to eat! When a monk carries half a bucket of water, it is enough to eat. Very hard, but it was very difficult to carry a bucket of water by himself, so he found another monk to carry water to eat together. One bucket of water was just enough for two monks, and everyone was not tired. But when there was another monk, the water Not enough to eat. Now Gwangju has been turned into a situation of two monks by two old masters. In front of outsiders, the real relationship is to carry water together, right? I can see from your eyes, what I said It’s very close, but it’s not interesting. Let me put it another way. The grass and insects in a pond are only enough for two fish. If you raise one fish, the fish can eat enough, but the fish’s activity radius is too small , Only half of the pond will be full, and the grass and insects on the other half will start to grow wildly! It will start to mess up the pond and occupy the living space of the fish. And if you raise two fish, you just eat one side, and you will eat your own. The world is peaceful due to suppression! Grass cannot grow, and insects have no chance to grow up. Insects and grass are always eaten by fish. Once eaten, they will grow again, and they will never turn over! But if there is one more fish, the pond will The rivers and lakes here will be in chaos, and the growth rate of insects and grasses will not be able to keep up with the survival needs of the three fish. In the end, either they will all starve to death, or the fish will start to eat fish! After eating the fish, the insects and grasses will still die. So quickly return to normal levels, the final result is that the only remaining fish will still starve to death. Therefore, there can be four fish in the pond in Caizhou, but there can only be two fish in the pond in Gwangju! An old man has already figured it out. When I say this, is it closer to what your old man means?"

Qiu Shao was completely shocked!

Simply horrible!

What he said was almost exactly the same as what the old man said!Even expressed it more clearly than the old man!More thorough!

This Deputy Envoy Feng is really a monster!

Fortunately, the old man saw through his intentions!Know that he is taking advantage of the situation to destroy Guo!The state of Yu and the state of Guo depend on each other and serve as barriers to each other. If the lips are dead, the teeth will be cold!
Feng Jiuxiao can borrow troops from the Qiu family to attack the Zhang family today, and then he can borrow troops from the Qiu family to attack the Qiu family tomorrow!
Qiu Shao shrugged his shoulders, and could only say helplessly: "I'm sorry, Deputy Envoy, since the old man said so, there is nothing we can do, please forgive me, Deputy Envoy!"

Feng Jiuxiao also shrugged, and said expressionlessly: "I forgot to tell you, you told Mrs. Qiu that I also fell in love with the property of the Qiu family. I originally wanted to cooperate with you to get the property of the Zhang family first. Qiu Although I want the property of the family, I still allow you to take care of the Qiu family for the sake of your interest. Since the old man is so ignorant, the properties of the Zhang and Qiu families can only be owned by me in Yingyue Villa, and I will also take care of them. There is nothing I can do, I am sorry, Young Master Qiu."

He chuckled, and looked at Qiu Shao who was stunned, "If Qiu Shao is willing to belong to my Yingyue Villa, then the entire Qiu family's property will still be managed by Qiu Shao, and I will give you [-]% of the income every year How is it? Would you like to join my Yingyue Villa?"

Young Master Qiu looked at Feng Jiuxiao with horror on his face, he was beyond terrified!
In a moment of impatience, he said emotionally: "Master Deputy Envoy! Isn't it a bit of a trick to do this?"

Feng Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, and said with an innocent face: "Yes, it's just stealing, because you also took it from others, and I just took it back for others. Is there anything strange?"

Qiu Shao only felt his heart sinking, his blood flow accelerated, his breathing began to be rapid, his head was a little confused, and he was a little bit desperate, "Master Deputy Envoy! Do you have evidence that we are stealing? Even if the emperor wants to punish us, he can't There must be evidence!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay, the evidence is easy to find. I will look for it in a while. The rope saws the wood and the water drips through the stone. As long as I find one piece of evidence, I will not go to the second one. I believe that if I have one, I will naturally find it." With a second, one is enough!"

Qiu Shao looked at Feng Jiuxiao with strange eyes.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I advise you not to act rashly. Even if your Qiu family has five experts at the peak of the nine realms, I can't kill them! I don't know if you recognize the five peaks of the nine realms in the Zhang family? It seems that there is a Tantai Jingde, um, I cut off his throat, I shot that oriental jade through the head, oh, and I cut the one named Nangong Ruyun in half, and that Wang Changan was shot through by me Heart, by the way, Liang Wentian is still alive, his martial arts were abolished by Mr. Liu, and he is still sleeping in Jigong Mountain, why don't you send someone to take a look?"

The more Qiu Shao listened, the more frightened he became!The more you listen, the paler your face becomes!The sweat on my head is getting more and more!
The last glimmer of hope is also shattered!
He had never been so scared!

What kind of monster is this person sitting in front of him?How can it be so powerful?How many people have ever envied the Zhang family's five masters at the top of the nine realms?Qiu Jiacai is the top three of the Nine Realms?As a result, all the masters of the Zhang family died in the battle of Jigong Mountain, and they were gone if they said nothing!
It is simply unbelievable!Creepy!It's so scary!

Young Master Qiu said with a pale face, "My lord deputy envoy, what exactly do you want?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It's very simple, give me all your money, and I will redistribute it!"

Qiu Shao tremblingly said: "You mean all the property will be given to you?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Of course I will leave some money for you to eat and buy vegetables. If I rob you of your money and make you unable to live, then am I the same as you? I rob money to let others live, you Robbing money is letting others die, we are different."

Young Master Qiu's face turned red and green, this was a naked humiliation!He was a little angry: "Master Deputy Ambassador, how do you know that we robbed others? We have our own silk industry and mines, and the money we earn is enough for us to spend ourselves. Why should we rob others?"

Feng Jiuxiao said with a smile: "You have to ask your old man! You are rich, why do you still rob other people's orphans and widows? Old man Qiu is 80 years old, why do you want to find a little girl? Snatch someone's bodyguard If you want to grab the money of the master, just grab it. Why do you have to kill all the bodyguards? Your old man must have the evidence. With his character, he will definitely keep the account book. Don’t say no, you can go to you now I will also give you a chance, if you are innocent, I will save your life! I will let you be my boss in Gwangju! If you have problems, sorry, I will not treat you either You're welcome! Because you let me down just now!"

Qiu Shao's face was ashen, as if he had lost his soul, he sighed, "Is there really a ledger? I'll look for it."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "If you don't want to come back, you can leave Gwangju immediately, and I won't hold you accountable! But, if you don't plan to leave Gwangju, if you don't come back within half an hour, I will take action! Listen carefully, When you come back from your old man, we can discuss how to minimize casualties and how to sign a blood contract!"

Qiu Shao was surprised: "What blood contract?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "As long as you choose to stay in Gwangju, you must join my Yingyue Villa! Naturally, you have to sign a blood contract with me! There is no choice! If you voluntarily give up everything in Gwangju and leave Gwangju, I will not hold you accountable." , see you someday, you and I are still friends!"

Qiu Shao's head is still dizzy up to now. He didn't expect the deputy envoy to bring him such a big "surprise" as soon as he came to the door, and suddenly he was faced with two major life choices!Either leave Gwangju, or join Yingyue Mountain Villa to sign a blood contract of prostitution!
The most dignified young master of the underworld in Gwangju has fallen to such a state!Qiu Shao intuitively felt that he was extremely sad, and fate treated him so unfairly!
With an extremely painful expression on his face, he murmured, "Is there no other choice?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't be sad, your Qiu family has been domineering in Guangzhou for many years, and you don't know it. I don't believe you are innocent either! A sage once said that no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche! You guys The Qiu family has done so many years of outrageous things, do you dare to say that you don't know? Do you dare to say that you have not participated in any of them? If you can prove that you are innocent, I can let you go now! You hurry up and think about it, you You only have half an hour to think about it, so hurry up."

Young Master Qiu is already a bit stupid, he is really in a dilemma, he doesn't know how to tell Mrs. Qiu!

Looking at the posture in front of him, if he dared to say no, Deputy Envoy Feng would kill him on the spot!

But go back and tell the old man, what should I say?Will the old man die of anger on the spot?Vice Envoy Feng killed Zhang family's top four and nine realm masters in a row. If the old man knew it, he would not dare to fight him head-on!Could it be that the Qiu family was buried in his own hands like this?Let the surname Feng take everything in vain?But what can I do if I don't give it to him?
Their businesses are all shady, and the government doesn't care about them at all, and they can't. The underground world is where the weak eat the strong, and whoever has the toughest fists can speak up!It would be good if those famous families don't throw stones into the well, applause is indispensable!

Now that the matter has come to this point, he decided to tell the old man.After all, this is a major matter involving the life and death of the Qiu family. Whether it is war or surrender, life or death, Young Master Qiu cannot let this kind of responsibility fall on himself!

He can't bear this responsibility!

He had to make a decision with Mrs. Qiu!
And in case Mr. Qiu has any other clever tricks and countermeasures, wouldn't it be better?The old man has stood firm in Gwangju for decades through ups and downs, there must be some support from him!Has his trump card!Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, so just go.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "In fact, you only have two choices, either go or stay. Don't pin your hopes on the old man. Although your old man has been in Guangzhou for decades, it's because he didn't meet me! If you Qiu family I ran into me decades ago, and it’s still the same situation today! I’m not talking to you as a deputy envoy, but as the owner of Mingyue Villa. If you are attached to me now, I can protect Qiu The lives of the family are safe, food and clothing are safe! You should think about it quickly, Young Master Zhang does not have such good conditions as you. He has already been assigned to the Devil's Cult by me. But many people may envy him, because he is accompanied by three beauties. To die under flowers, to be a ghost is also romantic, I guess Zhang Shao died well this time, oh, yes, I forgot to tell you, the three beauties are called green mantis, yellow mantis, and purple mantis."

Qiu Shao's brain fell into chaos again, "What? Praying Mantis Witch?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "You also know the Mantis Witch?"

Qiu Shao sighed and said, "Of course I know, they only kill men."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I came to you today just to confirm how much the Zhang family's property is. It's the same with you or without you. I originally wanted to leave a way out for your Qiu family because of your face. , but Mrs. Qiu really disappointed me!" He said he was disappointed, but his face was about to burst into a smile, and any fool knew that he was just waiting for Mrs. Qiu to reject him!Once he refuses, he will have an excuse to attack the Qiu family!

If you want to add a crime, why worry!
Qiu Shao looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why am I unlucky this year? Is it so unlucky? Miserable."

But Feng Jiuxiao said: "You are unlucky? Are you miserable? Are the people that your Qiu family and Zhang family harmed miserable? Are those orphans and widowed mothers miserable? Don't talk about other things of stealing and plundering, just say that you run a casino How many people have been forced to death? How many people have gone bankrupt and how many wives have been separated? I know casinos very well. The bankers win people by gambling ten times and cheating them, and then they use usury to trap people to death. How much black-hearted money do you have to make? "

His tone gradually turned cold, "The Zhang family has a monopoly on silk, and you have a monopoly on porcelain. There is nothing wrong with buying low and selling high, but the purchase price is ridiculously low! How many silkworm farmers have gone bankrupt because of this? How many porcelain workers have been exploited to death? Let me talk about those Brothels? Are you talking about those women who are forced by you to become prostitutes and sink into the sea of ​​misery? Which one of them was not raised by their parents? You are unlucky, but they are unlucky every year, every month is unfavorable, every day is unfavorable, and instant unfavorable! You are miserable, they don’t Miserable? You are complaining to me, who are they complaining to? Who are they complaining about?"

Qiu Shao's face was ashen, cold sweat dripped down, "I'd better tell the old man, I will definitely come back within half an hour." No matter what the old man decides, I must not be a deserter, this is the last bottom line of my life!

When Young Master Qiu saw the old man again, the old man was still meditating.The two girls beside him were still asleep.

Young Master Qiu recounted what happened just now, but the old man was silent for a while without saying a word.

After a long time, he finally sighed, "It seems that my Qiu family is exhausted! Unexpectedly, Master Yuyou's words are so effective!"
