Tang Yin wanted to use his head to hit the carriage. This was the end of being kidnapped onto a pirate ship... I could never get off again! He was originally living a good life of drunkenness and dreams in Suzhou City, but now he has to be angry and beaten on behalf of others, and has to leave and be collected from debts. Is there any law of nature and law of the king?

Chen Xi pulled Tang Yin: "Brother Tang, in order to make up for your mistakes, I will prepare a table of good wine for you in the inn. How about getting drunk?

Tang Yin looked at Chen Xi with a sad look and said, "Will Shen Zhongcheng be so kind?"

Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "I've beaten them all, and the matter has been done. I should go back and find a jar of aged wine to drink happily... Speaking of which, I really want to compete with Brother Tang, you in calligraphy and painting. I wonder if Brother Tang is willing to appreciate the glory?"

Tang Yin was so painful that he had just been beaten up. However, thinking of the temptation of fine wine, this little pain was nothing. Moreover, since he lost to the capital city painting to Chen Xi, he had been resentful. He had no chance to compete along the way. Now Chen Xi was rarely mentioned on his own initiative. Tang Yin thought to himself: "If you want to leave, don't be anxious. Let him relax his vigilance first. I will save a few taels of silver and then go on the road. This pirate ship has to go, but now I will drink the fine wine I have received from the beating before talking about it."

"Okay, I'm just thinking." Tang Yin raised his arrogant head, got back on the carriage, and went back to the inn with Chen Xi to drink and paint.

That night, the host and the host had fun, and even Chen Xi felt extremely comfortable. After all, being able to compete with the most famous writers, great calligraphers, painters and poets of the Ming Dynasty is a matter of great enthusiasm and pride.

Now Tang Yin is in a downturn, and the two of them paint their own paintings. After the accumulation of visits to famous mountains and rivers in the past two years, Tang Yin has made great progress in painting skills. This is also a brave man after knowing shame. He lost to Chen Xi in the Minsheng Teahouse in the capital, and was defeated again in the field of science, which made Tang Yin realize his shortcomings. Even if he lived a life of drunkenness and dreams in the past two years, he had never slacked off in calligraphy and painting.

Originally, Chen Xi was confident that he could be better than Tang Yin in calligraphy and painting, but now the two sides are no match for each other, and Tang Yin even had a vague power of Yue. Chen Xi secretly sighed: "I defeat him for a while is a shortcut... This is different from being talented and not being talented!"

"Brother Bo Hu is very skilled, so I'll experience it. Come and drink!"

After reading Tang Yin's paintings, Chen Xi shouted in his mouth. After Tang Yin drank it all, he drank the wine as if nothing had happened. But in fact, he sprinkled more than half of the wine on the ground. Chen Xi's purpose was very simple, to get Tang Yin drunk, so that all the paintings painted by Tang Yin belonged to him, so he could collect them as a family heirloom.

This era of things does not take long. Tang Bohu's paintings were already valuable in history about a few decades later. In another one or two hundred years, it was already valuable in the middle and early Qing Dynasty.

Among so many painters in the Ming Dynasty, very few were comparable to Tang Yin, and Tang Yin's unfortunate experience and wild personality brought great controversy to his life, which helped to increase Tang Yin's reputation in disguise.

In the collection industry, most people buy calligraphy and paintings with a reputation. The two paintings are placed together, and the difference is completely subjective assumption. Tang Yin is a typical painting that makes famous people more famous. There are many talented men who are not met in the Ming Dynasty, but Tang Yin is the number one among them.

Just as the two were competing for calligraphy and painting, they had already made four excellent paintings, Zhu Qi came in and reported: "Master, someone has come from the yamen of the governor and the envoy."

Chen Xi put down his brush, turned his head and said, "This is coming? Isn't the response slow? Brother Bohu, go out to meet me together?"

Tang Yingang's full of passion for painting immediately declined and said with a dark face: "Is Shen Zhongcheng embarrassed me sincerely?"

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Brother Bo Hu is such a bad word. Most people from the governor's office come to apologize and apologize, and maybe there are generous gifts."

Tang Yin blinked his eyes. He was not a fool. Even if he drank two more cups, he could still settle the score. The reason why Chen Xi took him to Zhou Mengzhong's mourning hall was because the people of the governor and envoy took the ignorant attitude towards Chen Xi's arrival. After he was beaten this time, Chen Xi had the excuse of taking the opportunity.

The right governor of Guangdong, Zhang Yuan, knew that the reason was wrong, would definitely send someone to apologize. Gifts were indispensable. If he didn't go out, the gift would be "stolen" by Chen Xi.

Tang Yin put down the wine cup and said, "Then let's go out with Shen Zhongcheng and listen to what they say."

Chen Xi smiled secretly and walked out of the door with Tang Yin. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw the governor sending people to carry four or five boxes of big and small. A scholar in his fifty years old with a goatee saw Chen Xi and respectfully saluted: "This must be the chief of Shen Zhongcheng, Lord Shen. The lower official came to pay special attention to the order of Zhang Fantai. The lower official was Li Jun, the left lieutenant of Guangdong Fanzheng, and had met Lord Shen and Mr. Tang..."

The person who came was very polite. Not only did he recognize Chen Xi at a glance, but he even knew that Tang Yin had done his homework when he left the yamen of the governor.

While speaking, Li Jun asked someone to open the box. It was not silver, but some medicinal materials and silk cloth, as well as local local products from Guangdong. It didn't look very valuable, but in one of the boxes, there was a small wooden box. Li Jun pointed to the small wooden box and said:

"It's just some proper etiquette, which is not respectful. Zhang Fantai is busy with official duties these two days, so he has no time to pay homage to Lord Shen. Tomorrow, Zhang Fantai will come to apologize."

Chen Xi thought to himself that Zhang Yuanying was quite good at doing things. He knew that he was in the wrong, but he deliberately did not mention the previous beating, so as not to be forced by Chen Xi to make trouble. He did not come to visit immediately, but gave him a gift first and promised to come to visit him in person tomorrow, so that Chen Xi would not hold on to him, and this goal would be achieved.

Chen Xi nodded: "That official is here to wait for Zhang Fantai, and I will hear what he will explain!"

Chen Xi would not be polite if the governor did not mention beating people. On the surface, Chen Xi pretended to be indignant and showed that he would report to the court at any time, allowing Li Jun to report back.

Li Jun politely gave up and left with the people from the yamen of the governor's office, Tang Yin looked nervous: "Shen Zhongcheng, aren't you afraid that someone will come to set fire like before in Fuzhou City?"

Chen Xi smiled and asked, "Brother Bohu is scared?"

"What's the fear of a real man?" Tang Yin straightened his waist and said with a firm mouth.

Chen Xi was not afraid that Zhang Yuanying would send someone to set fire. There was no grudge between him and Zhang Yuanying. Today, Zhang Yuanying saw that he was deliberately using fraud and did not need to tear his face for this little thing.

Besides, Zhang Yuanying was a famous minister Zhang Lun. Many people in the clan were officials in the court and had no courage at all. What a crime is this?

Even when he was in Fuzhou City, it was not Shang Yingkui who sent people to set fire to kill people, but Zhi Qian, who had always had hatred with Chen Xi and had a gangster spirit.

But there are some things that cannot be completely unprepared for. What if someone really makes a mistake? Chen Xi thought about it for a while and said, "Brother Bo Hu reminds me that it seems that people have to be sent to guard all over the inn. If there is any water flow, it will be better to be careful. Brother Tang, let me go in and drink a few more cups and make a few more masterpieces?"

"Um."

Tang Yin nodded, but his eyes fell on the gifts sent by the governor, especially the small wooden box, which he wanted to know what valuable gifts were hidden inside.

Chen Xi had a wise eye and saw what Tang Yin thought that no matter how arrogant the talented man of Tang was, he would have greed and wanted to get the compensation he deserved.

Even Chen Xi himself wanted to see what was in the wooden box. If it was gold, silver and jade, it means that Zhang Yuan should have something to say in addition to compensation, so he was so guilty. He had to be careful about the other party's in a hurry and make some small moves behind his back.

"Brother Tang wants to see what compensation he deserves?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

Tang Yin glared at Chen Xi, as if saying, "I can't be in vain for this blow."

Chen Xi took the wooden box into his hand, which was not heavy, which means that it was not filled with gold and silver. Put it on the coffee table and opened it, and the corner of his eyes was a string of pearls. Although the pearls were not particularly large in size, they were rarely the same round and smooth. Such a string of pearls may not be worth a lot of money in later generations, but they are definitely a priceless treasure these days.

"Good stuff."

Chenxi Road, "Brother Tang thinks, how valuable is it?"

Tang Yin had never been an official, and had never seen how much it would be to give gifts to an official, but he had at least seen the big scene with Xu Jing, and he couldn't help swallowing: "Speak less... dozens of taels of silver."

Chen Xi shook his head: "It's more than a few dozen taels, but it's worth one or two hundred guan. Zhang Fantai, the governor's minister, apologized with great sincerity."

The gifts sent by the governor's envoy were all worthless from the outside, and they were worth only 10 to 20 taels, but this string of pearls was worth more than ten times the value. Chen Xi closed the wooden box and said, "When Zhang Fantai comes tomorrow, just return it."

"Hmm!" Tang Yin was displeased when he heard this.

I just said that this was compensation to me. Now these things should belong to me, so why should I deal with them on my behalf and return them to Zhang Yuanying? But he thought again that Zhang Yuanying's apologies were not for his Tang Yin's sake. Zhang Yuanying was afraid that Chen Xi would submit the matter of condoning the governor and beating the governor and the governor to the court, and wanted to give generous gifts to calm the matter.

Chen Xi asked with a smile: "Brother Bo Hu wants to take this string of East China Sea pearls for himself and accept bribes in disguise, right?"

Chen Xi raised the problem to the level of "bribery". Even if Tang Yin coveted it now, he could only salute respectfully: "I dare not."

"That's it. Should we retreat or withdraw. As for other gifts, we will accept them. What does Brother Bo Hu like? I will pick a few items back and take them as compensation for Brother Bo Hu." Chen Xi said with great pleasure to others.

Tang Yin was very angry. You took off the most valuable pearls and asked me to "pick a few" of the remaining pieces. I was calling beggars? Is this a beggar? What do I take back these medicinal materials, silk cloth, and local specialties? I can't eat or drink. Did I turn around and sell them? Who would I sell them to?

Tang Yin looked gloomy: "Thank you Shen Zhongcheng for kindness. I only need a few more glasses of good wine. This apology... I'll leave it to Shen Zhongcheng for sacrificing it."

Chen Xi laughed. This staff member is really easy to fight. As long as the wine is supplied, it will be fine even if he is given a meal of braised vegetables.

I just talked a little more and had a little bit of temper!

The two went into the inner hall together to continue drinking and painting. When Tang Yin was drunk, Chen Xi asked Ma Jiu to help Tang Yin back to the inn to rest. He didn't want Tang Dacaizi to drink crazy in the inn, and Tang abruptly the female relatives around him.

After leaving, Chen Xi carefully packed up the paintings that Tang Yinkong had completed on the table. These were all original works and may be used as heirlooms in the future.

"Carrange it, and find someone to frame it and collect it."

Chen Xi first ordered Zhu Shan, and then smiled, "Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu, do you think you have earned wine from me, but you don't know that your painting is worth hundreds or thousands of fine wine! You will be a staff member by your side, but you will never lose money!"
