Chapter 191: The original work of Yan Lugong's 'The Legend of the Warrior'?
Before Yun Zhaozhao got angry and said, "I'm shark, you're here", Li Yi quickly went downstairs.
Since the murder in Zhuangyuan Building, there have been few guests. A group of guys are doing nothing and gather together to whisper.
"Have you heard it? Our Turtle County Magistrate died yesterday." A guy with a big mole on his lips whispered.
"What nonsense is that the one who died was a high-ranking official, not a turtle county magistrate." Another short and thin guy retorted.
"What a turtle county magistrate." Li Yi was so amused and crying. If the county magistrate Han heard these words, he would not have jumped straight and took you two guys to the yamen to eat the board?
Unfortunately, he could no longer hear how others arranged him.
A small official like him who is incompetent and unethical will not leave any deeds in the future, nor will it appear in historical books. The only places where he may appear are the local county annals, and only a few words.
Or, he would occasionally become a joker in the mouths of local civilians.
继而,很快消失.
"Oh, I'm not saying that the murder that happened in our restaurant was another murder."
"There is another murder?"
"I have a brother who works in the yamen and saw it with his own eyes! He told me not to tell others, but I promised him, but you are not someone else. I secretly told you, don't tell others." The big mole man pretended to be solemn.
"If you don't say it, don't say it. You don't know who I am. You will definitely not tell others. Tell me quickly." The short and thin guy quickly raised his ears, afraid of missing out. If the news is booming, he will convey it to others.
"Ahem, yesterday, just after the Turtle County Magistrate returned to the county government office, what did you guess appear?"
"What?"
"The Ghost No. 1!"
"Ah?" The short and thin guy looked like "You're teasing me".
"It's the ghost top scholar in the legend of our top scholar building!"
"Take." The guy with the big mole showed a disdainful expression, "What nonsense? How can there be any ghost top scorer? The ghost top scorer was used by our shopkeeper Wan to deceive people. Do you believe it?"
"You don't believe it yet? Heh, do you know how the high-ranking official who died in our top scholar building died?"
"It seems like I was killed by a pen."
"Do you know how the Turtle County Magistrate died? He was killed by an inkstone!"
"Hmm? Inkstone? Inkstone can kill people?" The short and thin guy took a breath.
"Ha, so it was the ghost top scholar's hand! I've heard that the ghost top scholar had to kill one person with pen, ink, paper and inkstone to wash away the resentment of his life before he could be reincarnated.
Moreover, the person who is killed is best to be a high-ranking official, so that he can absorb the deceased's official spirit, become a good fetus, and be an official in the next life!"
"There is such a thing!" The short and thin guy shivered, feeling a chill on his spine.
The big mole man pushed him angrily, and Da Lala said, "You are so scared. You are just a mud-legged person. If the ghost top scorer kills you, you can only suck your poor anger."
The short and thin guy felt that it was nothing wrong to be poor for the first time. He hesitated for a while and said, "You just said that the top scholar of the ghost wanted to kill one official with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Now two officials have died, so the next two..."
The big mole man lowered his voice: "Didn't there be two officials in our top scholar building yesterday?"
"You said Zhao County Magistrate and Wang Zhuan Zhu?" The short and thin guy widened his eyes, "If you can't succeed, these two are good officials, and they are not wasteful people like Turtle County Magistrate. They can't die!"
The big mole man sighed: "Indeed, if the Zhao County Magistrate had not captured the thieves and eliminated the evil people, and the Wang Zhuan Bulleted the roads and bridges to do good deeds, our Pingji County was on the border between the two countries, how could we be so stable?
I just hope that the top scholar of the ghost can distinguish right from wrong and only kill bad officials like the magistrate of Turtle County.”
After listening to their slander, Li Yi thought to himself.
Zhao County Wei has a good reputation, and he knows why Wang Zhuzhu, a bad person who colludes with officials and businessmen, has such a good reputation?
It's really a strange thing.
Li Yi was about to leave the Zhuangyuan Building, but Manager Wan walked down the stairs with a calligraphy and painting and a middle-aged Confucian scholar.
Manager Wan smiled loudly: "Brother Zhang, I have worked hard to get this original copy of Yan Lu Gong of the previous dynasty. If you, the master of calligraphy, can prove the name of the authentic product for it, I will make a fortune!"
This "Brother Zhang" is a local master of calligraphy. He is serious: "It is easy to prove the name, but it is difficult to see the original works.
There are not many calligraphy treasures of Yan Lugong, and it is a blessing to have a family heirloom, let alone Li Taibai's "The Legend of the Knights" copied.
If this book is really a genuine work, let alone making a fortune, it would be a priceless thing. It would be a blessing for me to observe it."
Li Yi wanted to leave, but when he heard their conversation, he stopped.
He is not unfamiliar with the title of Yan Lu Gong. This person was a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty and a master of calligraphy.
This person also has a well-known name - Yan Zhenqing.
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is exquisite, his regular script is dignified and majestic, and his running script is vigorous. He created the original "Yan style" regular script, which has a great influence on later calligraphy.
It’s a pity that the war and the calligraphy and paintings themselves are difficult to preserve. Very few of Yan Zhenqing’s original works can be passed down to later generations, and the value of each character is incalculable.
And after hearing what "Brother Zhang" said, the calligraphy in the hands of Manager Wan was not only the original work of Yan Lugong, but also Li Bai's "The Legend of the Knights" copied by Yan Lugong?
Isn’t this the icing on the cake, the two-kitchen ecstasy?
Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yi loved Li Bai the most, and among Li Bai's poems, Li Yi loved "The Legend of the Knights".
Among them, the sentence "Kill one person in ten steps, without leaving a thousand miles. After the matter is done, he will leave and hide his body and reputation" makes Li Yi tremble all over his body every time he hears it.
"If this letter is true, then Manager Wan has really made a fortune!"
Li Yi was thinking about it, and the middle-aged Confucian scholar there had carefully opened the pair of calligraphy on the table.
However, after only a few glances, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's respectful eyes changed. He suddenly snorted coldly and slapped the table with a heavy palm.
"The merchants are stupid and have a vulgar vision! I shouldn't believe people like you, so I'll go there in vain!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar attacked Manager Wan with a splash of stars.
He was not satisfied with this, so he swept the calligraphy and painting to the ground, and stepped on it several times like he was treating garbage.
"Hey hey, Brother Zhang, what are you doing? This is the original work of Yan Lu Gong. Can you afford to lose if you break it?" Manager Wan sweated on his forehead, and his whole body was almost evaporated in a hurry.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar sneered, spitted at Manager Wan, then shook his sleeves, twisted his head and left.
Manager Wang was sprayed with saliva. While wiping the saliva, he pointed at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and cursed, saying that he would send him into the yamen and ask him to compensate him.
The middle-aged Confucian scholar said angrily, "Just go and sue", and then crushed his boots and left with great strides.
Li Yi was very surprised. The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at this pair of words just now as if he was treasured. Why did he abandon his shoes now?
