Chapter 41
Jian Qing glanced at Shi Zhong and shed tears for Shi Zhong in her heart. It must be tiring to raise such a son, right?
Shi Zhong's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he had almost doubled in size. If there were no outsiders present, and if the son hadn't already had a son, Shi Zhong would have wanted to hang him up and beat him to death.

Someone once said that the greatest sorrow in life is "having money but losing life", but Jian Qing feels that the greatest sorrow in life is "father is a hero and a bear".

"Li Shi was poisoned to death by arsenic. In the past half month, only two people bought arsenic from a herbal medicine shop in the city. One of them was helped by a doctor in the pharmacy to prepare the medicine, with a little arsenic added to it. The other person is Mr. Shi, who bought a large amount of arsenic that could kill people." Jian Qing reminded, "Please tell me, why did you buy so much arsenic? Where was it used? What evidence is there?"

"I bought some poison for rats."

"Are there a lot of mice in the house?"

"I don't know if it's more or not. Anyway, a calligraphy and painting I bought a month ago was bitten by a mouse." Shi Ansheng was a little impatient. He glanced sideways at Jian Qing and shouted, "Shi Qiang, go to your study." Here I will bring the "Plum Blossom River Picture" that I spent a lot of money to show these poor men the world."

Jian Qing rolled up her sleeves and said nothing. Shi Ansheng's meaning was too obvious. He was clearly bullying them for not having seen the world.

It's not Shi Ansheng's fault. Most of the government servants came from the market. They have been serving for generations, and most of them are scoundrels.It's just that he doesn't know a word of Chinese characters. He usually extorts money, harms the common people, and is a bad person in the countryside. His reputation is not good.

Shi Qiang quickly brought the calligraphy and painting, and together with a book boy in Shi Zhong's study, they held one side of the painting scroll and unfolded the framed painting. In the secluded cliff stream, plum blossoms were in full bloom on the stone wall.A group of wild ducks are chasing and playing in the trickling stream, preening their feathers, or fluttering their feathers to fly. Among them, a pair of young ducks are lying on the back of the mother duck, which is very touching.

Shi Ansheng stared at the painting with enjoyment and asked proudly, "Jian Zuo, how do you like this painting? Oh, look at what I am asking. The key is this painting. Can you understand it?"

Wang Hu was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead and said angrily, "Shi Ansheng, what do you mean? We are asking you about the case. Who has time to discuss calligraphy and painting with you?"

"Discuss? Oops, Wang Hu, you still use the word 'discuss'? No, you shouldn't say 'discuss', I'll teach you, at this time, you should use the word 'discuss', know this Is there any allusion to the two words?"

Jian Qing looked at Shi Ansheng coldly and admired him very much. He could still talk while kneeling on the ground. His kneeling posture had no effect on him at all.

"Master Shi, 'examination' comes from the allusion of 'the monk knocks on the door under the moon' in Jia Dao's "Li Ning's Residence". It refers to the process of thinking word by word when writing. And we are talking about a painting now. In fact, it is also It doesn't apply." Jian Qing stood up, walked closer to the painting, and took a closer look, "I dare to ask, how much did this painting cost Mr. Shi?"

"1000 taels... of silver!" After Shi Ansheng finished speaking, an inkstone hit him on the head. Fortunately, he moved his head quickly and was well-trained. The inkstone only scratched the corner of his forehead and took away a layer of oily skin. , it hit the blue brick floor, and it was a pity that the fine Duan Inkstone broke into several petals.

Shi Ansheng screamed for a while, holding his bleeding forehead, as if his life had been taken away. He pointed his other hand at Jian Qing and cursed, "You brat, are you deliberately setting a trap for me to avenge a personal vendetta?"

Jian Qing glanced at him coldly, "Master Shi, it's in vain that you are one of the most famous scholars in Lingqiu County. You lost a pair of good eyes in vain and you bought a fake painting for 1000 taels of silver and you are still so proud of it!"

"Fake, fake, fake?"

For some unknown reason, the mouse bit the scroll of the painting into a small notch. For this reason, Shi Anshengren went to buy arsenic and came back. He used meat as bait and poisoned the yard with rats.Now that he heard that this painting was fake, how could he believe it?

"You actually falsely accused my painting of being a fake? If you don't tell me why, see how I deal with you!"

Jian Qing glanced at him and said, "Since I dare to say it's a fake, I naturally have evidence."

When Shi Zhong heard that the painting was fake, he couldn't sit still.Shi Ansheng looked down upon Jian Qing because he only knew that Jian Qing was a liar and did not know Jian Chong's origins.But Shi Zhong didn't have a pig's head. He stood up and cupped his hands slightly towards Jian Qing, "Tell me, how can you tell whether this painting is fake?"

"It's not difficult to know whether this painting is fake." Jian Qing stood up hurriedly. She looked down at Shi Ansheng, "If I tell you something, Mr. Shi must answer a few questions of mine."

Shi Zhong forced his son with his eyes, and Shi Ansheng had to reluctantly say, "Speak first!" He added, "As long as you can tell me why, from now on you are my father, and I will tell you whatever you ask me. You can't Are you asking me about my boudoir?"

Jian Qing didn't want to be his father, and ignored his teasing. Instead, he pointed at the paintings and said, "Ma Yuan's paintings have strong and rigorous brushwork and clear colors. The mountains and rocks are chopping with a large axe using a water brush, and the squares are hard." Angular; the leaves have clipped brushes, and the tree trunks are made of burnt ink, which is mostly horizontal and slanted. In this painting, although the ink used on the tree trunks is between thick ink and long ink, it does not have the feeling of burnt ink. It doesn't have the luxuriance of 'moistening with spring rain', nor does it have the effect of 'drying with autumn wind', which shows the difference in temperament of the person who copied it."

Shi Ansheng was confused after hearing this. Although Shi Zhong was experienced, he only had a lot of experience in economic affairs. When it came to calligraphy and painting, he could be said to have mastered all six of them.However, Jiang is still old and hot. Shi Zhong believes that since Jian Qing can say these words, he must be a knowledgeable person and will not deceive them.

I bought a fake for 1000 taels of silver!

Shi Zhong was trembling all over, but at this moment, Jian Qing was already extraordinary in his eyes. He was willing to give Jian Qing some face and kicked his son, "What did Jian Wuzuo ask you? You must answer politely." ,otherwise……"

There is no need to say anything else!
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, last night, where was Mr. Shi?"

"Me? Of course I was in Nongyulou last night."

There were quite a few people in Nongyulou last night.

"Jian Wuzuo, don't ask me anymore. I'm either at Nongyu Tower or Zuihua Tower at night, or in my room. As a man, that's all he does at night. Dad, you don't have to glare at me. It only proves that your son and I are still young!"

Jian Qing looked at Shi Ansheng, a little doubtful of his previous inference. Could such a person really have the ability to kill someone?Either this person is very good at acting and deliberately acts in front of him to appear ignorant of the world, or this is just an embroidered pillow, not to mention killing people, and can't even do such trivial things as holding a grudge.

 2/2;

  I don’t have time to catch insects anymore. If there are any, please help me catch them. Thank you!
  Ma Yuan's paintings came from Baidu, but they cannot stand up to everyone's research.
