The man was a little slurred when he spoke, and Yu Yao simply asked:

"What's in the sale, or what's outside the sale?"

"Outside. ”

"How about finishing the deal first?"

The man hesitated.

The man can say that he wants to come back and sell Shuanghuan jade pieces for 8,000 again, which means that he is not treating Yu Yao as a fool, but because of his roundabout temperament.

However, there are also advantages to being roundabout, if it weren't for this, Yu Yao might not have adopted a more practical way of communication.

"I'm not afraid that you will regret it, but there is a deal in the middle, and it is not profitable. In addition, what do you want to say, before and after the sale, it is the same, if you want me to help, if I can't help you, I'd rather not buy your stuff than help. ”

"You're mistaken, I was just thinking about what to say. The man turned to say, "Okay, then trade first." ”

After the payment was settled, Yu Yao asked, "You haven't figured out how to say it, or are you too embarrassed to say it?"

"It's a little bit, after all, I just met you. But you're already the most eye-catching I've ever met!" the man said, stretching out his hand, "Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Yuan, Yuan Chunwang, and I work in the Jiangzhou Archives Bureau." ”

"Yuan Chunwang?" Yu Yao stretched out his hand to shake him, and said in his heart that in a Qing court drama, Yuan Chunwang was a eunuch villain. However, his parents could not have predicted it when he came up with the name. It's like Yu Yao used to have an old neighbor named Yang Wei, born in the seventies, and it was not easy for people at that time to name their children too much.

However, judging from Yuan Chunwang's fluency and naturalness, he should not have watched this drama, or he didn't care about it.

"My name is Yu Yao. ”

"Boss Yu, it's like this, my father still has one more thing······"

Yu Yao couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you say that these are the last two?"

"Well, I didn't make it clear. It's not a thing, no, it's a thing, it's just not an antique, it's a notebook. ”

"Notes?"

"Yes, the main reason is that his combing and summarizing of some wild history and folk materials cannot be regarded as academic research, but is the content of private pondering. There is something that my father mentioned to me many times, and I later came to study this notebook, so I would like to ask you about it. ”

"Huh?" Yu Yao looked embarrassed, "Mr. Yuan, you are too exalted to me, Ling Zun used to be a professor in the Department of History of Tokyo University, how can I compare with this aspect? I'm afraid I can't help much." For this kind of academic discussion, it is more appropriate for you to go to his former colleague or protégé. ”

Yuan Chunwang hurriedly explained, "What I want to ask is about antiques, to be precise, about cultural relics." ”

Yu Yao thought to himself, your father's things were basically sold by you, how could you be interested in antiques?

Yuan Chunwang looked at Yu Yao, who did not respond, and said, "This matter also has something to do with my work, I work in the Information Management Department of the Archives Bureau, and my work is mainly to sort out historical archives and enrich the archive information ······database."

"Understood, you better just talk about it. Yu Yao nodded and lit a cigarette.

"Boss Yu, you are a person from the antique shop, and your eyesight is so high, you must know that our Dongjiang Province Bo is too upside down, right?"

"Tai Bu Fang Ding?" Yu Yao's face changed, "You mean, Ling Zun's notes mentioned Tai Bu Fang Ding?"

Yuan Chunwang nodded, "Yes, according to some information he has, he sorted out the process of being accepted by the Jiangzhou Cultural Relics Department during the Republic of China, and also raised doubts. And when I was sorting out some of the archives of the Republic of China, I also found that the reception of Taidian Fangding at that time was not public. ”

For Taidian Fangding, Yu Yao's attention is naturally very high, and what Yuan Chunwang said is not a conventional content.

However, the more this is the case, the less you can rush. Yu Yao first stabilized his mind and asked Yuan Chunwang, "Such a big matter, Mr. Yuan, you should report it to the higher authorities and let the relevant departments organize experts to study it, why did you bring it up in an antique shop like mine?"

"I wrote a report, but I didn't even pass the hurdle of our director, and he said it was all a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and he advised me not to look for trouble. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm a coward, so I don't dare to say it in the unit. However, this matter has always weighed on my heart. After talking to you today, I somehow wanted to ask you about it. ”

Yu Yao understood. A serious worker, but his superiors are old fritters. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and some superiors will try their best to suppress this kind of subordinates, so that you can be better than the leader!

"Then Ling Zun has not published an academic opinion on this subject before?"

"As I have already said, it is not academic research, and the arguments are insufficient, so it can only be regarded as a private study, and my father went to Dongjiang Province to see Taidian Fangding before his death, and I think it is no problem. He weighed it again and again, and he never expressed it publicly. ”

Yu Yao sighed, with your father's eyesight, you can't see the problem.

"Mr. Yuan, what is Ling Zun's suspicion?" Yu Yao determined the beginning and end of the process, and then cut to the chase.

According to his analysis of the content of various materials, during the transfer of the Taidian Fangding to the Jiangzhou Cultural Relics Department, there were three 'Taidian Fangding' statues in Jiangzhou City at the same time! ”

"What?" Yu Yao was taken aback.

Yuan Chunwang continued, "In other words, even if one is true, there must be two 'Li Ghosts'. Moreover, at that time, the reception of Taidian Fangding was not public, that is, it should have not been demonstrated on a large scale. ”

Yu Yao pondered, "Then, could it be that the information collected by Ling Zun has a problem of duplication or connection, but it is actually one statue, and the descriptions of different materials and inferences are different, so it is regarded as three statues?"

"No, it won't. My father was very strict in his studies. His research was done about 30 years ago, when some of the elderly were still alive, and he had visited and researched them. Therefore, he doubted that the handed over Tai Dian Fang Ding would have the possibility of being transferred?"

"Didn't Ling Zun later decide that the provincial Bo was the real Ding?"

Yes, that's why he didn't make his private research public. ”

"What conclusion does he have about the whereabouts of the other two Dings?"

"Nope. And for a long time, there has been no news about it from the outside world. Yuan Chunwang thought for a moment, "Later, before the Japanese captured Jiangzhou, the cultural relics department used to transport a large number of cultural relics along the river, some of them to Yuzhou, the capital of the country, and some of them were secretly hidden in the nearby mountains, and they returned to Jiangzhou in 1945. The transfer is orderly in this process, and there should be no problems. ”

What Yuan Chunwang said was very useful, and Yu Yao digested it carefully. However, then he couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Yuan, what you said is indeed a matter of cultural relics, but it is mostly inferred from historical data, and it has nothing to do with my eyesight?
