Chapter 066: Reckoning

The peak of Longhua Mountain

The sun shines on the morning clouds and mist, and the surrounding scenery is clearly visible. The green mountains are stacked and the endless mountains are like a sleeping dragon.

Occasionally, I saw an eagle soaring in the air, with its unruly and majestic posture, adding a brightness to the peak scenery. Because there is no edge, it looks even more majestic, making people feel as if they are in a painting.

In a pavilion on the peak, there were old and young sitting opposite each other at the stone table and playing chess. The Go pieces fell on the chess scale, making a crisp collision sound.

Lin Chenyao's slender fingers fell down with a white chess. Master Hongyi stroked his long white beard and said, "I haven't seen each other for two years. Xuan Hui's chess skills have become more and more exquisite. It's turbulent and turbulent, making people unable to defend themselves. Lao Na lost one more son in this game."

Lin Chenyao smiled, "It was the master who gave in."

"After all the time, playing chess with people who are fighting outsiders all year round is less practice, and Lao Na lost happily."

Master Hongyi is a Taoist monk from Longhua Temple. He has a white beard and a bright eye. He is not only proficient in the numerology of the Zhouyi, but also has five techniques of Feng Shui and metaphysics, but also has excellent chess skills.

Lin Chenyao had given advice from Master when he was young. If he was in the capital, he would play games with the master several times every month. Now that he is better than his ambition, Master Hongyi also feels very accomplished.

Putting away the chessboard, Master Hongyi took out a tea set from under the stone table, and there was already a boiled mountain spring water next to it. While making tea skillfully, he congratulated: "Congratulations, I will help you get back "Mid-Autumn Night" so soon, and now I can make a deal with the emperor."

The painting was originally rewarded by the emperor to Fu Shaode. Later, Fu Shaode returned to Beijing to report his work and disappeared with "Middle Autumn Night". Just a month ago, a man who claimed to be a descendant of the Liu family wrote a secret letter to the emperor, saying that there was a treasure map in "Middle Autumn Night" and it was a spare gold that a prince in the previous dynasty prepared to rebel. Later, the prince was executed, and all this batch of spare gold was returned to the Liu family, who secretly assisted the prince at that time.

Because the Liu family was afraid of being found out by the court, they hid the spare gold. At that time, the head of the Liu family was Liu Zhenzhi. He placed the treasure map in the painting and left it to his descendants. Unexpectedly, the Liu family declined and the descendants were thin, and no one was looking for the treasure. For some reason, "Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival" later fell into the emperor's private treasure house. By chance, he asked him to give it to him.

The descendants of the Liu family hoped that the court would find a map to find treasures and benefit the people. This was also the last wish of the ancestors of the Liu family.

Regardless of whether the secret letter is true or false, natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, and disasters have been reported everywhere. The court is in need of money, and the treasury is drying up like a river without water. If this news is true, it can temporarily fill the treasury.

Therefore, after Lin Chenyao returned to Beijing and was granted the title, the emperor handed over the task of finding "Mid-Autumn Night" to him secretly.

Master Hongyi made good tea, and the tea fragrance was everywhere. He filled four cups of steaming tea and signaled Lin Chenyao to enjoy it.

Lin Chenyao picked up the cup made of nanmu, put it on his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed it gently, and the tea fragrance of appropriate thickness drifted into his nose. He took a sip, put down the bamboo cup, and then slowly said: "Fake it."

"What's fake?" Master Hongyi didn't react at once.

Lin Chenyao replied: "The Night of the Mid-Autumn Festival is a copy, and the other party's copying method is very realistic. I think if Liu Zhenzhi is still alive, he would not recognize the painting." If he had not seen this fake painting before, he would not have been able to tell the real or fake.

Master Hongyi praised: "If you can copy such realistic people, your painting skills will definitely not be inferior to Liu Zhenzhi."

Lin Chenyao smiled and said, "Her painting skills are indeed unique in the world. At a young age, she copied other people's paintings exactly like original paintings, and even the portraits of characters are like real people."

When talking about her, Master Hongyi found that Lin Chenyao's cold and naive face had a faint tenderness. Then he remembered the entrusted by Princess Anyang a few days ago. He stroked his long white beard and said, "I heard that you say that, you seem to be very familiar with this person. Could it be that she is Miss Fu Er from the Duke of E? It is rumored that the works she created are novel and unique, especially the ink paintings, which are subtle ink, and there is no handwriting, and it is like splashing out ears, and it is also known as the beauty of painting immortals."

Lin Chenyao smiled without saying a word, picked up the bamboo and drank tea gracefully. Master Hongyi thought he agreed, so he turned the topic back and said, "The emperor has only given you two months. Now one month has passed. Are you sure you can retrieve the painting within one month?"

After hearing Master Hongyi's question, a clear and beautiful face flashed through Lin Chenyao's mind - I'll exchange it with you for the authentic works. She looked calm and calm, without any tension after lying, which made people unable to question her words.

She could see that the painting was copied, so she must have seen the original work. Maybe she did not lie, the original work was really in her hands, but why was the original work in her place?

The fake paintings were indeed sold from Hu Tianba, and some jewelry and jade were also included, which was enough to prove that Hu Tianba was the murderer of Fu Shaode and his wife. So, how did she get the original work? Or what did she have to do with Hu Tianba?

So he didn't respond immediately to her in the lamp building just now because he didn't want to alert the enemy. He didn't want to spread the matter before the matter was found out.

He put down the bamboo cup and avoided the heavy and said lightly: "I will find it."

Master Hongyi knew his ability. Since he said he would find it, he would find it. So he used to stroke his long beard and said, "It is important to find a painting, but your lifelong affairs cannot be delayed. A few days ago, your grandmother and mother came to Lao Na to calculate for you. When Lao Na watched the astrological signs at night, he calculated your life palace and found that your Hongluan star and Tianxi star were in the husband and wife palace. There will be happy events in the second half of the year, but if you miss this marriage, it will be difficult for you to meet two stars again in your life and will be lonely for a lifetime."

Lin Chenyao frowned slightly and said, "Have the master told them about this?"

Master Hongyi said: "Yes, they want to advise you to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet held by Prince Chu's Mansion tomorrow. If you like a girl, as long as you like, they will choose an auspicious day to propose marriage. If you have a happy person, you don't have to attend. Tell them which family they belong to, and they will come to propose marriage on the day they choose."

Lin Chenyao said nothing, picked up the bamboo cup and took a casual sip. Master Hongyi said this, and he believed that Lin Chenyao would know how to decide what to do next.

When he came down from the peak, Lin Chenyao had just stepped down the last stairs and paused, but saw a blue figure in the lake standing in front of him for a few steps, looking at him with a smile.

When Fu Yinghua saw him, he was not surprised.

Since he knew he was here, he guessed that he would come here to play chess with Master Hongyi, so he came here while everyone was having lunch. She looked up at him with a smile: "I knew you would be here."
