Gu Mengzhong heard this and curiously said: "In recent years, I have rarely painted, and it has been rare in the market. Where did Jian Master Tan buy it? Take me to see. Don't buy fakes."
Tan Xun laughed: "It was given to me by someone else, and I personally identified it. It is definitely not a fake. Come on, bring the painting and let Master Gu see it."
The painting in Tan Xun's mouth is a piece of Gu Mengzhong's work he received as a gift when he was in the city lodge.
He saw it at the time, and he knew at a glance that this was the real thing.
But he was also afraid of punching his eyes, so when he met Gu Mengzhong himself, of course, he wanted to show him.
Because he liked this painting so much, Tan Xun asked his entourage to take it wherever he went. At this moment, the entourage stepped forward and handed the painting up.
Wang Ji looked at him and was taken aback.
He remembered that the Chief Zuo of the City Lord’s Mansion had told him that among the gifts he had sent, there was an authentic piece of Master Gu. Wang Ji didn't think much about it at the time, but only thought that the other party had missed it.
Should not, this is what I said?
Wang Ji shook his head secretly. If it is a painting that he asked his subordinates to acquire, it must be fake, how could it be true.
In his heart, he thought even more that Jian Master Tan actually had time to lose sight.
Tan Xun over there was already carefully unfolding the picture scroll, and the people around immediately surrounded him, wanting to see if it was the real thing.
When the picture scroll was unfolded, Gu Mengzhong's eyebrows immediately condensed, and his face sank directly. And Liao Gu, God of Cooking, saw this painting on the side, and he was surprised at the moment: "This is not..."
He didn't say the following words.
Liao Gu is not stupid, this thing is obviously tricky.
Tan Xun said: "Well, is this Master Gu's authentic work?"
Gu Mengzhong did not smile on his face and nodded: "Yes, it was painted by Gu."
"Haha, let me just say, Master Gu's paintings, how can I look at them." Tan Xun was very proud, and he admired the city lord mansion even more in his heart.
No loss is the City Lord's Mansion, and it is generous to make a shot.
Now, I must put it away.
Gu Mengzhong reached out and grabbed it, and stopped.
"Master Gu, what are you?" Tan Xun was stunned. Only then did he notice that Gu Mengzhong's face was already very ugly, which made Tan Xun very puzzled.
"Jiang Tan, let me ask you, where did you get this painting?" Gu Mengzhong asked.
Tan Xun was puzzled, but he still said truthfully: "I went to Hongye City Lord’s Mansion a few days ago as a guest, and Bai City Lord gave it to him.”
"Humph!"
Gu Mengzhong gave a cold snort.
Tan Xun knew there must be something in it, otherwise Gu Mengzhong would not be able to turn his face directly.
"What is going on?" Tan Xun asked.
At this time, over there, Liao Gu, the chef **** said, "This painting is clearly a gift that Meng Zhongxiang gave to the forest a few days ago. How could it go to the city lord's mansion, and how could it be in your hands?"
"what!"
Tan Xun let out a cry.
This incident is not trivial, Liao Gu's tone is obviously skeptical.
Wang Ji also suddenly had his heart beating wildly, and a wave of extreme uncertainty surged into his heart.
He felt that something was about to happen again.
"Could it be a mistake? This painting was 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. 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 and small, rough look. It is a landscape and scenery. In fact, there is a small courtyard in the middle. There are three people in the courtyard talking, and this scene is exactly that day. The scene I talked with Brother Liao and Lin Jin, how can I read it wrong?"
Tan Xun's face turned pale.
Someone said: "Could it be Master Lin, transferred to the City Lord's Mansion?"
Gu Mengzhong shook his head directly: "When I went to find Lin Jinxue Qi Mo Beast, he told me that the painting I gave him was lost, and it was lost at the Beast Appraiser Association. At that time, I could only paint him again. , Think about it now, this matter is probably not that 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, Wang Ji's face was like pig liver.
After a while, Zuo Wentang, the general manager of the City Lord’s Mansion, arrived.
Whether Tan Xun or Master Gu are both very important figures, Zuo Wentang naturally did not dare to neglect.
"Zuo Zuo, what is going on with this painting?" Tan Xun told the story, and Zuo Wentang thought of it when he saw it.
"This painting was sent by Chairman Wang Ji. Wasn't there a batch of Hunyuan beast eggs used for identification by the Association before? When I left, Chairman 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 he is and no matter how strong his mood is, he can't help but cold sweat at this moment, and he is flustered, because this is not only a problem with a painting, but also involves the batch of mixed-element beast eggs.
Only he knew that it was Lin Jin who identified the Hunyuan beast eggs that night, not Wang Ji.
"me……"
There is really no way to edit it. He knew that after Lin Jin's appraisal, he left the painting in the Jian Beast Hall, but it was treated as a gift and sent to the City Lord's Mansion.
But what did he say?
When I said, it was all exposed.
It’s okay if you don’t say it, others will think he stole the painting.
Everyone is not stupid. Seeing Wang Ji's hesitation and speechlessness, he knew there was an inside story.
It is Nangongxian's heart beating wildly, and then walked two steps to the side without composure, away from Wang Ji. He has a feeling that today, he is afraid that something will happen.
At this time, the bell rang within the association.
The exam is over.
Soon, the candidates filed out. Zu Can's eyes were sharp, and he saw Lin Jin as the crowd came out at a glance.
"Jiang Lin, here!"
Zucan greeted him, Lin Jin also saw it over there, and walked over, but was stunned when he came closer.
Why is this battle so big?
Zucan is here Liao Chu Shen is also here, and Master Gu.
Lin Jin, who had just finished the exam, was directly overwhelmed by this big scene.
Tan Lin saw Lin Jin, feeling guilty in her heart. She wanted to step forward to apologize, but she couldn't speak up. Tan Xun knew her daughter Mo Ruo's father and took the initiative to step forward and give a salute.
This has nothing to do with the appraisal status, it is simply the father's gratitude to his daughter's benefactor.
"Lin Jianshi, your fire spirit pointed at Po Tianshu. It is really amazing. Tan would like to thank you on behalf of my daughter."
Tan Xun said, Lin Jin knew what was going on.
"Is she your daughter?" Lin Jin asked, pointing at Tan Lin.
Tan Xun nodded.
Lin Jin's next sentence made Tan Xun feel complacent: "Although I said it was a misunderstanding that night, what I said was a kindness to help her. She was not grateful. Not only did she work with Wang Ji to calculate me, but also to block me. You have to control."
a face of grievance.
Tan Xun's face blushed. He was actually taught a lesson by a younger generation, but who made him wrong, and nodded now: "Yes, the little girl has been spoiled since childhood, and she is too self-willed to figure out the truth. Just made a mess and decided, I have already reprimanded her."
Lin Jin saw that they were so good at admitting their mistakes, and they couldn’t say anything. He just nodded: “That’s good, but education is enough. Don’t say too much. Girls, thin-skinned, I’m afraid she can’t stand it if they say too much. ."
In this scene, the people watching are stunned.
Master Gu can't stand it anymore.
"Lin Jin, this is the third ring beast appraiser Tan Lao of your general association of appraising beast masters!"
"what!"
Lin Jin was taken aback. Before Tan Xun had one hand behind him, he hadn't seen the other party's beast-print sleeves. At this moment, he turned his head and found that he was really wearing three-ring beast-print sleeves.
