Chapter 346: Focus
In Tu Yuanshan's notes, the records were relatively brief, and some parts were even replaced by one or two words, and Yu Yao had to extend and infer them.
When Yu Yao was concentrating, Tu Wenhai's wife came back with a big bag of fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs and the like.
After some introduction and explanation, Yu Yao thought that he couldn't read it with peace of mind, so he took the liberty of asking if he could borrow it and send it back after reading it. Fortunately, he said that he was an antique dealer, and it was not abrupt to propose that he was interested in the culture of the Republic of China.
Tu Wenhai was very happy because of Fu Qingzhu's painting, and immediately agreed. Before Yu Yao took it away, he specially checked it with Tu Wenhai, and there was nothing else to sandwich before leaving.
Back upstairs, Yu Yao found a pen and paper, read it, recorded it, and annotated what he had deduced.
In the notes, Tu Yuanshan did not mention whether he went to meet with this mysterious person, whether he reported to the curator, and did not mention it, but only mentioned that "the cooking is also good, but I can't sleep at night".
However, Tu Yuanshan was just a young man who had just come of age, and he didn't have any complicated experience, so Yu Yao didn't believe that he could cook it "properly".
Yu Yao guessed that he might not have reported to the curator, but went to meet this person alone, and at the same time, he pretended not to know about it during the meeting, and in the end, the other party did not continue to pester, and he felt "appropriate".
The next record was on August 16, 1937, three days later.
On this day, Taidian Fangding was officially accepted by the Dongjiang Provincial Library.
The reception ceremony is so secret that it can't even be called a ritual. Tu Yuanshan was not eligible to participate, except for the curator, he did not know who attended, and on the other hand, he did not know how many donors came.
However, the people from the Department of History and Museum, after the ceremony, were led by the director to see the statue together. Tu Yuanshan didn't have the eye to identify the real and fake, but he just felt that "he really has the feeling of being a heavy emperor".
The next day, this matter was reported in the newspaper, saying that Mr. Xu Taiyan, a collector, donated the bronze heavy weapon of the Shang Dynasty to Taidian Fangding, and the expert appraisal of the provincial map was undoubtedly true. However, the whole is actually only a summary, and the specific process is not clear.
Tu Yuanshan was shocked because he received a call from "Mr. E", why did the donor become Xu Taiyan now?
There was no need for him to go to the curator, the curator talked to him first, explaining that the person who called was arranged by Mr. Xu, and the veil could only be lifted after the dust settled.
And after that, there is no need to check the general context, and it can also be seen in the introduction of Taidian Fangding in Dongjiang Province.
The matter was already over, but there was a follow-up in Tu Yuanshan's notes.
On the day that the Taidian Fangding was donated, he heard from a friend who worked in the Jiangzhou Municipal Library that their library had also received a call to donate the Taidian Fangding.
A total of three units. But in the end, only the Dongjiang Provincial Library came out.
Because this friend is in the Jiangzhou City Library, there is more internal information, it is said that the Municipal Library once set up a team to deal with this matter, and this group should have been in contact with the other party, but I don't know why it didn't happen, and then kept silent.
This passage is hearsay, so it is very brief. However, in the end, Tu Yuanshan summed up a sentence: Or maybe, just in case, the cunning "device" three caves.
The whole notebook, about the Taidian Fangding, the total amount added up is only a few pages, and some of them are still staggered;Yu Yao carefully flipped through it, after Tu Yuanshan summarized this sentence, there was no more content about the Taidian Fangding, presumably he also drew an end to this matter.
Closing the note, putting down the pen and paper, Yu Yao came to the balcony, opened the window, lit a cigarette in the cold wind, and roughly sorted it out in combination with what Yuan Chunwang said before.
At that time, in Jiangzhou, the Japanese people had not yet called, but in the city of Jiangzhou, there were probably Chinese people who did things for the Japanese people. The mysterious person who called Tu Yuanshan may be.
From the perspective of Xu Taiyan and Yi Tiehan, the high imitation has been done, and at the same time, two statues, one true and one false, are shipped to cover people's eyes and ears, which is inevitable.
However, according to the new clues, whether it is the "three Taidian Fang Dings" mentioned by Yuan Chunwang or the "three units have all received phone calls" recorded in Tu Yuanshan's notes, they all show that Xu Taiyan and Yi Tiehan were likely to "increase the weight" at that time! If there are two falsehoods and one truth, it is even more confusing.
This also shows that the situation at that time was very serious. This tripod, the Japanese people, especially Yasujiro Nakatani, are eyeing it.
The Ghost Eye Gate Vault happened before this incident, and it should be too late to put it in after it was successful. Otherwise, such a heavy weapon will not be "displaced".
This goes back to the old question, why did such a well-thought-out arrangement become a fake in the end of the Taidian Fang Ding displayed in Bo in Dongjiang Province?
In the end, was it a fake one that the Dongjiang Provincial Library received back then? Or was it transferred after receiving it?
And the other fake tripod is in the current Chiga Art Museum, or is it destroyed or missing?
If the Taidian Fang Ding of the Qianhe Art Museum is also fake, then where is the real Ding?
Yu Yao extinguished the cigarette, returned to the room and sat down again, picked up the pen and scratched it on the paper.
Jiangzhou Municipal Library and Dongjiang Provincial People's Education Center, both units have been underlined in thick.
Because the Dongjiang Provincial Library is the "origin", He Wenguang and the others may have investigated it a long time ago, but these two units must not have been, and this should be the focus of the next investigation.
After marking the key points, Yu Yao folded the paper he recorded and stuffed it into the inner pocket of his hanging coat.
As soon as it was placed, the doorbell rang, Yu Yao saw from the cat's eye that it was actually Tu Wenhai's wife, he hurriedly took the notebook quickly, and then went to open the door.
"I'm sorry Auntie, I've been watching it for a long time, and I'm just finished reading it. Yu Yao said after opening the door, only to notice that she was carrying a thermos bucket in her hand.
"Oh, why are you in a hurry with an old book? Look at it slowly! Auntie made dumplings, pork and cabbage filling, just out of the pot, bring it to you to taste!" Tu Wenhai's wife forced the thermos bucket into Yu Yao's hand, turned around and was about to leave, "I'll get the thermos bucket when I get it back!"
"Auntie, I've really finished reading it, you can take it back!" Yu Yao hurriedly said.
"Really finished?"
"Really! And this dumpling, how embarrassing ······"
"What's polite, they're all neighbors! Come down at any time if there's anything going on, come to the house!" After Tu Wenhai's wife took the notebook, she nudged Yu Yao and wanted to close the door for him. Yu Yao hurriedly held on and went out of the door to see her off.
Seeing off Tu Wenhai's wife, Yu Yao looked at the thermos bucket, showed an embarrassed smile, and said in his heart that it was better to contact the auction first before eating.
