The Museum of Beasts (Museum of Deadly Beasts)

Gu Mengzhong heard it and said curiously: "In recent years, I have rarely painted, and it is rare in the market. Where did Tan Jianshi buy it? Take it and let me see it, don't buy fakes."

Tan Xun laughed: "It was given to me by someone else, and I have personally identified it. It is definitely not a fake. Come, bring the painting and let Master Gu see it."

The painting in Tan Xun's mouth is a pair of Gu Mengzhong's works that he received as a gift when he was in the City Lord's Mansion.

When he saw it, he saw at a glance that it was genuine.

However, he was also afraid of punching holes, so when he met Gu Mengzhong himself, of course he had to show it for others to see.

Because he liked this painting so much, Tan Xun asked the entourage to take it wherever he went. At this moment, the entourage stepped forward and handed over the painting.

Looking at Wang Ji next to him, he was stunned.

He remembered that the Chief Officer Zuo of the City Lord's Mansion had told him that among the gifts he sent, there was a copy of Master Gu's original work.

Shouldn't it be this one?

Wang Ji shook his head secretly, if it was a painting that he asked his subordinates to buy, it must be fake, how could it be real.

He even thought in his heart that Tan Jianshi actually had a time to go wrong.

Over there, Tan Xun was already carefully unfolding the scroll, and the people around him immediately gathered around to see if it was the real work.

After the scroll was unfolded, Gu Mengzhong's eyebrows immediately froze, and his face sank directly. And Chef Liao Gu also saw this painting, and immediately said in surprise: "This is not..."

He didn't say anything after that.

Liao Gu is not stupid, this matter is obviously tricky.

Tan Xun said, "So, is this your authentic work, Master Gu?"

Gu Mengzhong had no smile on his face and nodded: "Yes, it was painted by Gu himself."

"Haha, I'll just say, how can I miss Master Gu's paintings." Tan Xun was very proud, and he admired the City Lord's Mansion even more.

It's not a loss for the City Lord's Mansion, and the shot is generous.

Now, put it away.

Gu Mengzhong reached out and grabbed it and stopped it.

"Master Gu, who are you?" Tan Xun was stunned for a while. At this time, he noticed that Gu Mengzhong's face was already very ugly, which made Tan Xun very puzzled.

"Tan Jianshi, let me ask you, where did you get this painting?" Gu Mengzhong asked.

Although Tan Xun was puzzled, he still said truthfully: "I went to Hongye City Lord's Mansion a few days ago to be a guest, and City Lord Bai gave me a gift."

"Humph!"

Gu Mengzhong snorted coldly.

Tan Xun knew that there must be something here, otherwise Gu Mengzhong would not be able to turn his face directly.

"What's going on?" Tan Xun asked.

At this time, Chef Liao Gu said, "This painting is clearly something that was given to Lin Jin by Meng Zhongxiang a few days ago. How could it go to the City Lord's Mansion, and how could it be in your hands, Tan Jianshi?"

"what!"

Tan Xun let out a cry.

This matter is no trivial matter, Liao Gu's tone is obviously suspicious.

Wang Ji's heart also suddenly jumped wildly, and an extreme sense of ominousness flooded into his heart.

He felt that something was going to happen again.

"Could it be a mistake? This painting is indeed a gift from the City Lord's Mansion that day." Tan Xun's entourage said at this time.

Tan Xun also looked at Gu Mengzhong at this time, and he also hoped that he was wrong.

Gu Mengzhong pointed to a corner of the painting and said: "This painting is based on a large view and a small view, and a rough view, it is a landscape of mountains and rivers. In fact, there is a small rural courtyard in the middle, and there are three people talking in the courtyard, and this scene is exactly that day. How could I misunderstand the scene where I talked with Brother Liao and Lin Jin?”

Tan Xun's face turned pale.

Someone asked: "Could it be Lin Jianshi who sent it to the City Lord's Mansion?"

Gu Mengzhong shook his head directly: "When I went to look for Lin Jinxue Qimo Beast, he told me that the painting I gave him was lost, and it was lost at the Beast Appraiser Association, so I could only paint him a new one. , Thinking about it now, this matter is not so simple. Since it is related to the City Lord's Mansion, let their people come and ask."

Someone immediately went to inform the City Lord's Mansion.

No one noticed that Wang Ji's face was like a pig's liver.

After a while, Zuo Wentang, the chief director of the City Lord's Mansion, arrived.

Whether Tan Xun or Master Gu, are very important figures, Zuo Wentang naturally dare not neglect.

"Chief Officer Zuo, what exactly is going on with this painting?" Tan Xun told the story, and Zuo Wentang also remembered it when he saw it.

"This painting was sent by President Wang Ji. Wasn't a batch of Primordial Beast Eggs brought to the association for appraisal? When we left, President Wang sent a batch of gifts, including this painting."

After Zuo Wentang finished speaking, everyone looked directly at Wang Ji over there.

Now Wang Ji already knows what's going on.

Rao is that no matter how thick-skinned and strong he is, at this moment, he can't help breaking out in a cold sweat and flustered, because this is not only a problem of a painting, but also involves the batch of Primordial Beast Eggs.

Only he knew that it was Lin Jin, not Wang Ji, who identified the Hunyuan beast eggs that night.

"me……"

There was really no way to make it up. He knew that after the appraisal, Lin Jin left the painting in the hall of the beast appraiser, and it was taken as a gift and sent to the City Lord's Mansion together.

But what does he say?

In a nutshell, it's all revealed.

If you don't say it, you can't, others will think that he stole the painting.

Everyone is not stupid. Seeing Wang Ji faltering and unable to speak, they know that there is an inside story.

Even Nangong Xian's heart was beating wildly, and then he quietly took two steps to the side, away from Wang Ji, he had a feeling that something big was going to happen today.

At this time, the bell in the association rang.

The exam is over.

Soon, the candidates filed out, Zu Can's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw Lin Jin walking out with the crowd.

"Master Lin Jian, this way!"

Zu Can greeted him, and Lin Jin also saw it over there and came over, but he was stunned when he got closer.

Why is this battle so big?

Zu Can is here, Chef Liao is there, and Master Gu.

Lin Jin, who had just finished the exam, was completely blinded by this big scene.

Tan Lin felt guilty when she saw Lin Jin. She wanted to apologize, but she couldn't speak. Tan Xun knew her daughter, Mo Ruofu, and took the initiative to give her a salute.

This has nothing to do with the identity of the appraiser, it is simply the father's gratitude to his daughter's benefactor.

"Master Lin Jian, your fire spirit's finger to break the Tianshu is really wonderful. Tan thanked you on behalf of my daughter."

Tan Xun said a word, and Lin Jin knew what was going on.

"Is she your daughter?" Lin Jin pointed to Tan Lin and asked.

Tan Xun nodded.

Lin Jin's next sentence made Tan Xun feel ashamed: "Although it was a misunderstanding that night, I said that I was helping her with kindness, and she was not grateful. Not only did you work with Wang Ji to plot against me, but also to block me. Gotta take care."

A look of grievance.

Tan Xun's face blushed, he was actually taught a 'lesson' by a younger generation, but who told himself to be wrong, he nodded: "Yes, the little girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and she is too willful, and she has not figured out the truth of the matter. Just make a random decision, and I have reprimanded her."

Lin Jin saw that people's attitude of admitting their mistakes was so good, and it was hard to say anything, and just nodded: "That's good, but education is enough, don't talk too much, girl, thin-skinned, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. ."

At this scene, the others who saw it were stunned.

Master Gu couldn't stand it any longer.

"Lin Jin, this is Mr. Tan, the three-ring beast appraiser of your beast appraiser association!"

"what!"

Lin Jin was taken aback. Before Tan Xun's back with one hand, he didn't see the other's animal-patterned sleeves, but now he turned his head and found that they were really wearing three-ringed animal-patterned sleeves.
