Chapter 118: Old Chen Comes to School
On the third day after returning to school, Officer Cao called Zhuo Feng to report on the interrogation of the tomb robber gang, and dug out the real name of the boss behind the "Brother Hong": Wei Guohong.
He is the former deputy director of the County Cultural Relics Bureau, and in 2004, he was expelled from the party and related positions by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau because of his improper party style and many times participating in the resale of cultural relics.
After his dismissal, he took advantage of his connections and knowledge of cultural relics to open an antique boutique by exploiting loopholes, selling them at a low price and selling them at a high price, and illegally reselling cultural relics abroad, making a fortune because of his selfish desires.
In recent years, he has instigated idle people in society to dig up ancient tombs within their own understanding.
Therefore, the degree of damage to the tombs preserved today is particularly serious, and if this black sheep is not removed, the ancestors lying underground will not be at peace.
It is really a great pleasure to successfully arrest this person this time, and by the way, to bring out other moths from various organs and units.
After class on this day, teacher Liu Fangfang came over and said to Zhuo Feng that Zhuo Feng's course can be transferred to other class hours tomorrow, and tomorrow the group elders will come to the school and ask Zhuo Feng to participate in a small meeting.
It seems that the same information that Chen Xiaoyan told herself, Chen Yucai is coming to school.
After the students studied on their own in the evening, Zhuo Feng took a moment to go home, wrapped the bronze sword and brought it to school.
Early the next morning, the school organized a guard of honor and stood on both sides of the school gate to welcome them. School leaders were also present in the welcoming crowd.
At about 8:30 a.m., three BMW cars slowly stopped at the school gate, and four elderly people got out of the cars.
Although the old man at the head had white hair, he was radiant, energetic, and walked vigorously towards the welcoming crowd. Although the three old people in the back are not as old as the old man, they are all a little old, you hold me, and I walk into the campus with you.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome! welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"
The students of the honor guard held flowers in their hands and shouted with joy.
Principal Zhang Jianyong greeted him and shook hands warmly with the four elderly people.
"Chen Lao, Ding Lao, Zhu Lao, Wu Lao, welcome, welcome, warm welcome! Welcome Chen Lao, the veteran of the group, and bring three veterans of the cultural relics industry to the school to guide the work. Inside please, inside please. ”
Chen Yucai laughed.
"There is no need to guide the work, how can I have you Principal Zhang will educate and manage students, hahaha. Let's just take a look and see how the school has developed, how the education is, and how the management has been in the past four years. We are idle at home, come to this school to feel the vitality of youth. Hahaha. ”
"Old Chen smiled, without you, there would be no Yucai School. Under your purpose of educating people and becoming talents, the teachers of the whole school are conscientious and fruitful. Come, let's go into the conference room and report back to you. This side please. ”
Zhang Jianyong bowed slightly and politely led the four old men to the conference room.
In the conference room, Zhang Jianyong introduced the development of the school in the past four years, the teachers, the number of students, life, health, medical care, and the families of teachers, etc., the meeting lasted for nearly two hours, taking into account the physical condition of several old people, only briefly said the fruits of the past four years, and even the recent evaluation of excellent teachers, outstanding students did not have time to introduce.
Chen Yucai saw that Principal Zhang Jianyong's introduction was almost complete, so he stopped.
"Jianyong, is the teacher Zhuo Feng I told yesterday here?"
Zhang Jianyong knew that the purpose of Chen Yucai's trip today was not to inspect the school's work, but the real purpose of this trip was related to Teacher Zhuo Feng, so he instructed him early in the morning.
"I've already arranged it. When the meeting is over, you and your friends can come directly to my office for a discussion. ”
Zhang Jianyong said.
"Well, okay, thank you. Brave. ”
After whispering to the three friends, the four of them stood up and headed for the principal's office.
Here, Zhuo Feng was already carrying a long package and waiting in the principal's office.
At this time, the door opened, Chen Yucai walked in front, followed by three old men, who came in together.
"Xiaofeng, I'll keep you waiting. Come on, come on. Sit down, everybody. ”
Chen Yucai greeted everyone warmly.
"It doesn't matter, Old Chen, I've just been here for a while. ”
Zhuo Feng stood up and bowed slightly.
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you. This is the former president of the China Cultural Relics Association, my best friend Wu. This is the vice president of the former Provincial Collectors Association, Lao Zhu. This is the former bronze consultant expert of the National Chamber of Cultural Relics and Artworks, Lao Ding.
"This is Teacher Zhuo Feng who I mentioned to you a few days ago that I had collected a wolf's head sword grid decorated with a bronze sword. ”
Chen Yucai introduced the other three old men to Zhuo Feng one by one, and also introduced Zhuo Feng to everyone when he turned around.
"Lao Chen, you introduced us all so ceremoniously, why don't you introduce your own titles as well? ha. Young man, what you call Mr. Chen in front of you, the founder of Yucai Middle School, Mr. Chen Yucai, is the former honorary chairman of the China Antiques Association, a big man who has made great contributions to the country's recovery of cultural relics lost overseas, and has also purchased and donated countless national treasures free of charge. Hahaha. ”
Wu Lao on the side seemed to think that Zhuo Feng should not know Chen Lao, so he counted Chen Lao's glorious honors.
"Old Wu, you, you. Teacher Zhuo Feng has dealt with me a few times a few times. I'm going to pass on all my knowledge to him. Hahaha. ”
"Yo, it turns out that it's a senior disciple who has already made an order. Hahaha, today I finally understand why the three of us were called here with great fanfare, it turned out that we were asked to be witnesses. Okay, you old Chen. ”
Ding Lao also came to make fun of Chen Yucai.
"It's not that I want to take Zhuo Feng as an apprentice, it's that the knowledge of antiques and treasures in this later life far surpasses the four of us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you to enjoy the treasure, would I?"
"Can you have such a powerful attainment at a young age? Hurry up, take it out and let's see, what is the treasure to be rewarded today?"
Zhu Lao couldn't sit still on the side, looking a little anxious.
"The four old gentlemen praised me like this, which is really a love for me. I can't afford it. Today, Elder Chen brought a few old gentlemen over because I obtained an ancient bronze sword by chance some time ago, and the information revealed by this sword is too powerful for me to judge. I would like to ask Mr. Chen and several old gentlemen here to help me appraise and identify. ”
Zhuo Feng put down the package lightly on a table prepared in advance, and slowly unfolded it.
The first thing that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a large pile of rust, and the long shape of a thick layer of newspaper on the side of the rust had long been unbearable to be lonely, and the paper broke out, and the looming green appeared little by little under the edge.
"Such a thick newspaper wrap still can't wrap its edge? This has not yet unfolded, and it gives us such a magical attraction, although I can only see its edge, I can already feel its sword intent. ”
The bronze sword advisor, Ding Lao, couldn't wait to come forward to check on this bronze sword.
"Lao Ding is still like that, as soon as he sees the ancient sword, it is like losing his soul. Hahaha. ”
The three old men on the side laughed at the old man at the same time.
Although several people were talking and laughing there, their eyes were carefully staring at Zhuo Feng's movements, watching him slowly unfold the package there.
After the layers of newspapers were withdrawn, the bronze sword was finally fully presented in front of the four old men.
Some of the old people took out reading glasses, some took out magnifying glasses, and Chen Lao even asked someone to bring a strong lamp.
"Wow, it's amazing that there is no rust at all in today's environment. No, no. There's got to be something up there. ”
With the help of a magnifying glass, Ding Lao looked up and down the bronze sword, front and back, left, left and right. Shaking his head while watching, it's too much to be incredible.
"Oh, yes. This bronze sword was not originally like this, and the rust was attached to its surface. I have here a picture of this bronze sword when I first got it. ”
Zhuo Feng stepped forward and explained.
"Grab that picture and take a look. ”
Ding Lao hurriedly stepped forward to get Zhuo Feng's mobile phone and looked at the photo.
The ancient sword in the photo is obviously an ordinary rusty iron sword, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with this bronze sword.
After looking at the photo carefully, and then looking back at the bronze sword, Ding Lao was even more puzzled, feeling that he was a bronze consultant in vain.
"You say, this bronze sword was originally covered with this large amount of rust?"
Ask Zhuo Feng.
"Yes. When I first got it, it took me almost half a day to think of anything unique about this rusty sword, and then I slowly burned the rust with fire, and I thought that it could be peeled off after it was burned red, so I slowly used some methods to peel off all the rust. And then what appeared in front of me was such a bronze sword. ”
Zhuo Feng replied truthfully.
"Is that okay with fire?"
"But I'm not using an open flame, it's a special kind of fire. Zhuo Feng looked at Chen Yucai as he spoke, wanting him to cover for himself.
"Well, yes. Teacher Zhuo Feng has a special ability to burn with a special flame, now is not the time to discuss this, we will talk about this later. Now the main thing is to see whether this bronze sword is real or fake, and then what its value is, what its historical significance is, and so on. ”
Chen Yucai saw Zhuo Feng asking for help from him, so he broke the siege.
