At 2 pm, Sha Laosan drove his Chevrolet C1500 and brought Lin Chen to the antique market.

The antique market was still bustling, with countless people setting up stalls and shouting loudly.

Sha Laosan took Lin Chen for a walk.

What kind of eyes does Sha Laosan have? They are comparable to the golden pupils of the protagonists. He can tell the authenticity of the items on the stalls with just one glance.

Don’t say that the items on the stalls are real, even the fake ones are not considered.

Many of them are insulting to people’s IQ in Sha Laosan’s eyes.

Sha Laosan just glanced at them a few times and took Lin Chen directly to the antique shop.

But Lin Chen called him, "Old Third, why don't you walk around outside? Maybe you can find a bargain."

Old Third Sha grinned, "Brother, you don't understand, where is this? It's an antique market!"

"Everything is in short supply, but people with good eyes are not. No matter what good treasure it is, it has been picked up by others. How can it be left here for you?"

Lin Chen nodded and followed Old Third Sha to Guanggelou.

"Fatty Zhong, Fatty Zhong!" Old Third Sha shouted loudly before entering the door. It didn't feel like he was in an antique city at all, but a dog market.

Zhong Hui heard the call from outside and walked out with a smile like Maitreya Buddha. "Third Master, I didn't expect you to come. What good things have you brought for me to take a look at?"

Zhong Hui and Sha Lao San are both tomb robbers, but compared to Sha Lao San's family background, Zhong Hui can only be regarded as a small fry, and his skills are a bit trendy. In addition, the official crackdown has become more and more serious in the past decade, so he started the antique business with this little knowledge.

"What is Third Master or Not? That was a thing of the past. Now I am also doing serious business!" Sha Lao San scolded with a smile.

"Third Master, what are you buying from me today?" Zhong Hui made a gesture of invitation.

"Buy something for my brother, and you don't have to serve us. We can just go shopping by ourselves." Sha Lao San patted Lin Chen on the back.

Zhong Hui glanced at Lin Chen and saw that he was not a person of this kind. He smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you, Third Master. I will only give you a buying price for whatever you like."

After that, Zhong Hui nodded and left.

Sha Lao San took Lin Chen around the store.

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Lao San, why did you bring me here? The things here cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. I can afford them, but my wife doesn't have to."

"Sister-in-law is so virtuous." Sha Lao San praised, "But there are fakes in the store with high prices, and there are real things in the corners!"

In the first few compartments, Sha Lao San's face was calm, neither like nor hate.

Until he came to the compartment where the ancient fakes were placed, Sha Lao San stared at "Autumn Forest Landscape Painting" with a changed look in his eyes and made a sound of "Huh" from his mouth.

Lin Chen, who has been a killer for many years, also noticed this and asked, "Old Third, what's different about this painting?"

Old Third Sha waved his hand to signal Lin Chen not to speak, and walked to the "Autumn Forest on the Water" and took a closer look. He showed an incredible smile on his face, "Interesting, so interesting! I wonder which genius is the handicraft of this."

"Fatty Zhong, Fatty Zhong." Old Third Sha shouted again.

"Hey, Third Master, what do you want?" Fatty Zhong heard Old Third Sha's shout and ran out.

"Just this painting." Old Third Sha pointed to the "Autumn Forest Landscape" on the wall.

"This..." Zhong Hui smacked his lips and said, "Third Master, this is obviously a modern imitation. What do you want this painting for!"

"Just give me a price, how much does this painting cost." Old Third Sha said.

Zhong Hui himself said that he really couldn't see what was so mysterious about this painting. He gritted his teeth and said, "Since Third Master has said so, then okay, although this painting is a replica, it has a history of more than a hundred years, and the artist's painting skills are also very good. The current price is around 50,000. If you want 30,000, take it away!"

"Hey, don't, 50,000 is 50,000, come and scan you." Sha Lao San took out his mobile phone and was about to pay.

Lin Chen immediately blocked him, "Lao San, I asked you to help me look at the things, how can I ask you to pay the bill."

"Brother, let's not talk about anything else. It's worth the 50,000 yuan to take a look at this painting today!" Sha Lao San said and transferred the bill to Zhong Hui.

"Fatty Zhong, take it out, I'll let you take a look." Sha Lao San was so excited just after paying the bill.

"Third Master, there can't be a trick here." Zhong Hui also saw something wrong. Could it be that he really made a mistake? No, many masters who came to see it said that this was a replica.

"You'll know when you take it down." Sha Lao San deliberately kept it a secret.

"Hey hey."

Zhong Hui agreed and took off theHe took out a pair of gloves from the drawer, opened the glass cabinet, and rolled up the "Autumn Forest Landscape".

"Third Master, and this brother, come with me."

Zhong Hui brought Sha Lao San and Lin Chen to a windowless room with two large lamps hanging from the ceiling and a thick red carpet on the ground.

There was only a table in the middle of the room with a white tablecloth on it. Zhong Hui stretched out his hand to open the scroll, then took out two pairs of white gloves from the drawer and handed them to Lin Chen and Sha Lao San.

"Third Master, please tell me what the trick is here." Zhong Hui asked impatiently.

Sha Lao San held the edge of the table and pointed to the mounting of the scroll. "You said it was fake, is it because there are obvious signs of aging on the mounting, and as time goes by, this aging becomes more and more obvious."

"Yes, Third Master, no matter who comes to see it at first glance, the mounting is seriously aging, it must be a fake." Zhong Hui answered undeniably.

"Then have any of you noticed the painting in the middle?" Sha Laosan asked proudly, pointing at the painting.

"Painting?" Zhong Hui was stunned when he heard it. The mounting was obviously fake, so how could the painting be real?

"Yes! It's a painting!" Sha Laosan smiled proudly, "I don't know what the original owner of this painting thought, but it's obvious that the painting is real!"

"Look at the painting paper, the painting skills, and the ink. It's obviously the style of Li Di's era!"

Zhong Hui was stunned by Sha Laosan's words. Now let him look at the painting again, it's really the case, the painting is real!

But the mounting is fake, this is too unbelievable!

I've only heard of buying fake things as real, but who has ever heard of selling real things as fakes?

"Perhaps the original owner thought the frame of the painting had been too old and replaced it with a new one. I don't understand why they deliberately made it look old, but this does not affect its own value. As long as the painting itself exists, the frame is just an embellishment!" Sha Lao San said with a smile.

"I didn't expect so many people to have a preconceived idea that the frame is fake, and the painting must be fake!" Sha Lao San laughed!

"Brother, this painting is my gift to my sister-in-law, you can take it!"
