Chapter 19: He's an internationalist
"Professor Yamashita, I'm very sorry that this happened. Cardinal Wang is not in a position to accompany you on this expedition because of other organizational arrangements.
But don't worry, we will arrange the itinerary you want to observe and visit this trip according to the requirements, and Cardinal Wang's presence or absence will not have the slightest impact!"
Two days later, Yao Yingzhuo from the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office respectfully welcomed the guests he was going to receive, and took them up the mountain with a familiar car and went straight to the Red Star Tea Field.
The Foreign Affairs Office originally sent Yao Yingzhuo a car, which was an army-green jeep. However, the guest has his own Toyota, and there is more than one, so let him get in the car and accompany him.
The foreign guest's name was Yoshihisa Yamashita, in his early 40s, wearing round gold-wire glasses, and his forehead hair was sparse and somewhat Mediterranean. He is a professor at the Department of History at Kyoto University, where he studies Chinese history and related archaeology.
It is said that there is no money for a liberal arts professor in this kind of major.
However, in this book, most of the people who can ignore the employment prospects and insist on archaeology majors are because their families have little assets and don't care about this.
Yoshihisa Yamashita is a typical example of this - his father is an insignificant minority shareholder of the Mitsui zaibatsu with hundreds of millions of yen in family assets.
At the end of the 70s, the housing price bubble in Ben had not yet come, so the money was still relatively valuable. Unlike when the housing bubble peaked more than a decade later, a few hundred million yen was only equal to the land price of 20 square meters in Ginza.
Therefore, Yamashita Yoshihisa has money to satisfy his personal academic hobbies.
Hearing that something happened to Wang Pingshan, he was slightly unhappy:
The investigation was secondary, and he had seen almost all of them last time, and the result made him very sad: The orthodoxy of the Chinese people, the clothes of the Tang and Song dynasties, had been so completely destroyed at their original sites! The ruins of the halls of the Yongfu Mausoleum and the Yongchong Mausoleum had been completely smashed and turned into tea fields.
He has a cross-nationality and racial love for these antiquities, and has always regarded himself as the orthodox heir to the Tang and Song dynasties, and he doesn't want to see more things destroyed.
And if something happened to Wang Pingshan, who else would he ask to buy?
"Section Chief Yao, I can understand that Cardinal Wang has other arrangements. I just don't know if he explained anything...... I'm more interested in those things, you know. Yamashita Yoshihisa asked unwillingly.
Yao Yingzhuo could hear the voice, but the things Wang Pingshan collected had been sealed by the provincial department as physical evidence, and he couldn't help it.
The most annoying thing is that I can't tell the truth to myself: "Professor Yamashita, we really haven't heard of this." Maybe he forgot, or maybe he didn't have anything new to discover. ”
However, this argument was immediately refuted by Yamashita Yoshihisa: "Impossible! When I was at the consulate in Hujiang, I repeatedly confirmed with him, and he said that there were a few new things that he was not sure whether they were genuine or not, and he hoped that I would help him identify them, how could there be no new discoveries!"
Yao Yingzhuo secretly scolded MMP in his heart:
This Wang Pingshan is really bold and reckless! He actually dares to talk nonsense to foreign guests in private! Don't you know that all lines should be checked by the foreign affairs department before they can decide what can be said and what cannot be said!
However, at this point, he can only turn to the relevant judicial departments to see if he can be accommodating, unfreeze the things that were used as evidence in Wang Ping'an's case, and let him talk about it in his own hands.
In the end, he insisted on not selling it, and told me that these were all judicial physical evidence, so that he could get over it.
In Yao Yingzhuo's thoughts, as a staff member of the Foreign Affairs Office, as long as foreign guests "don't give bad reviews", it's fine. As for the fact that after the matchmaking is completed, the relevant domestic departments cannot meet the other requirements of the foreign guests, and it is none of his business.
He just had to absolve himself of responsibility.
……
After going back and forth, Yao Yingzhuo's request went to Wu Junfa, who specifically handled the case, and as for the cooperating comrades of the local relevant departments, they also received it.
Gu Min and Gu Biao haven't returned to Qiantang yet, so they stayed in the guest house for a few more days, wanting to wait for Wang Pingshan's crime to be confirmed - they are also afraid that something will happen again, and the case will be overturned by the head snake, and when the time comes, the snake will not die, and it will be troublesome if they are retaliated.
Cut the grass to remove the roots.
And Wu Junfa also knew that the reason why he couldn't find the few things he wanted to see might have something to do with Gu Ao's protection, so he didn't hide it from the Gu family brothers and sisters, and relayed the situation to Gu Biao.
Gu Biao didn't want to goof, thought about it for a while, and asked Wu Junfa:
"Is it possible for us to meet with those people in person as the reception staff of the tea field? I don't want to leave written evidence, so I will verbally tell them that Wang Pingshan lied to them, those things do not exist, and send them away." ”
Wu Junfa didn't expect Gu Biao to make this request: "You also want to meet foreign guests? Do you know foreign languages, if you expect that Section Chief Yao to translate for you, I'm afraid he will be unhappy, and you are not a leader." ”
Gu Biao is very sure: "A little bit better, can you still speak English if you can't speak Japanese?" I don't believe in a history professor at Kyoto University, who doesn't even know English. I'm not going to work until Yao Ke grows up. ”
"Okay, it's a big deal that you follow me, and I'll take responsibility. Anyway, they are not many important guests, and there are no big leaders to receive them. Wu Junfa decided to sell this favor, so he replied layer by layer through the relevant departments.
Yao Yingzhuo was about to shake off the pot, and it didn't matter who the relevant departments sent to explain the loss of physical evidence.
In the end, the conclusion was to let Wu Junfa, who was in charge of handling the case, personally participate in the meeting, and as for whether he should bring his attaché with him, and if his attaché said the wrong thing, of course, he would be responsible for the leadership.
Early the next morning, Gu Biao followed Wu Junfa and Yao Yingzhuo together to meet Yamashita Yoshihisa on the farm.
Wu Junfa used a relatively blunt attitude to inform Yamashita Yoshihisa that Wang Pingshan had committed an unforgivable evil and had been controlled.
"Mr. Yamashita, I'm very sorry, but we can prove to you on behalf of the judicial department that there is a lot of deceptive information in the telegram that Wang Pingshan replied to you. The things you're looking at don't exist at all. I'm really sorry that this happened......" Wu Junfa said in an official Chinese, and then asked Yao Yingzhuo to translate.
Yamashita Yoshihisa was shocked and very unwilling when he heard it.
Gu Biao has been beside him, pretending to be a local educated youth, and watching as a crowd.
However, from only ten minutes of conversation, he also saw that Yamashita Yoshihisa seemed to be a person who pursued academic fame and wanted to leave a name in history.
Maybe people really don't care about money and collection value, they just want to make a name.
Gu Biao thought about it again and again, and saw the opportunity to say in English: "Professor Yamashita, I don't think Wang Pingshan should have told you that Yongfu Mausoleum and Yongchong Mausoleum were dug up by him personally. Do you really think that cooperating with such a demon will not damage your reputation in the field of historiography in the future? ”
Nowadays, there are not many multilingual foreign affairs personnel, Yao Yingzhuo is proficient in Japanese, but he only understands English. For a moment, he was only stunned to hear that Gu Wei's spoken English seemed to be much more standard than him, and he was vaguely talking about Wang Pingshan's crimes.
"This little comrade, please pay attention to your words!" he was so anxious that he opened his mouth to stop it, and his heart was also very unhappy.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Biao's words would actually make Yamashita Yoshihisa attach great importance to it.
"Bridge Bean Sack!" he stood up suddenly, his eyes full of shock, and then turned to Yao Yingzhuo, "Section Chief Yao, I would like to have a few words with this gentleman alone, please don't stop him, and don't punish him for what he said." ”
"Mr. Yamashita, please forgive us for our work......" Yao Yingzhuo pleaded with a bitter face.
But in the end, he still didn't get his wish. He could only quietly pull Wu Junfa aside: "Director Wu! Who are you bringing with you! Don't you understand the discipline of foreign affairs?"
Wu Junfa was also very helpless: "This little comrade is a person involved in the case, and he knows the situation better, so he probably wants to clarify." ”
Yao Yingzhuo's nasolabial folds twitched, and he threatened: "Professor Yamashita pleads for him, and I won't be embarrassed." But you're going to give me all his information. If he privately stops a foreign guest to talk to him today, I will declare it, record it in his file, and follow him for the rest of my life. ”
Recorded in the file, it is already exempted from direct punishment, and the additional punishment must be imposed - in fact, it is not necessarily a punishment, if it is a future college student, after graduation, go to a private enterprise or a foreign company, the file is not worth the money.
But for most people who cherished the "status of national cadres" at that time, writing an extra truthful statement in the file was already a punishment.
However, Gu Biao didn't care, who let his three views come from the next generation.
At Yamashita Yoshihisa's insistence, Wu Junfa and Yao Yingzhuo were both left aside to talk. He conversed with Gu Biao alone in English, as well as spoken Chinese, which he was not very proficient in.
Gu Biao knew that he had made the right bet.
Ever since he judged that Yamashita Yoshihisa was a person who cherished his academic reputation, he knew that with Wang Pingshan's treachery, he must not have told Yamashita Yoshihisa and the last two of the Song Six Tombs that he personally commanded people to destroy.
And Yamashita Yoshihisa's next questioning quickly proved this.
I only heard him say bitterly: "After the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries a few years ago, I only heard that there were a lot of ...... in your country An unfortunate thing for an ancient civilization. I have studied the history of the Tang and Song dynasties all my life, and I feel very sad. This year, the situation has relaxed a little, so I rushed to the inspection of the meeting as the first stop.
However, at that time, Wang Pingshan told me that he was also sent later when your country wanted to use waste land and reclaim tea farms. The previous destruction had nothing to do with him, and he said that he was salvaging and collecting ......"
Gu Biao interrupted: "However, we have sufficient evidence - we can't let you take it away, but if you want to hear and want to see it, I can show it, forget it, and you must not tell that Section Chief Yao that you have seen it." ”
In just a few minutes, Gu Biao proved to Yamashita Yoshihisa that Wang Pingshan's main bad deeds were the main deed.
"Red Deer Noro!" Yamashita Yoshihisa slammed his fist on the ground, looking unwilling. Then he seemed to remember something, and asked Gu Biao very sincerely,
"Gu Sang, thank you very much for telling me this. I know that there must be a few things that Wang Pingshan said - he is an example of interests, and it is impossible to deceive me. Can you help me mediate after the case is completed and the physical evidence is unfrozen?
I am willing to buy those few things through official and regular channels, and give absolutely a reasonable price - you have to believe me, I am not because of greed, I don't want your country to fluctuate again and let more things be ruined.
You have to believe in our attitude towards the preservation of ancient culture. Fifty years ago, during the Great Kanto Earthquake, Kikuchi's predecessors had to risk their lives to rescue Su Xian's cold food post in the case of a family fire. Sell me something, and I can even promise you not to take it out of the country. ”
Gu Biao solemnly refused: "No, it's impossible, give up this idea-the few things you want don't exist at all." And we won't have that kind of chaos in China anymore. I guarantee that after Wang Pingshan's case is concluded, all antiquities related to him will be donated to the Provincial Museum and displayed and protected by professionals. ”
Yamashita Yoshihisa was a little decadent, but he didn't stick to it. He thought for a while, changed his words and said: "I hope you can give me a piece of evidence that can prove that it was indeed Wang Pingshan who destroyed the tomb back then, and the documents of your organization are also fine." If it is sufficient, I will also help you prove his other crimes—I am sure that he must have made a lot of money from his dealings with me.
According to your laws, it's called speculation, right? I hope it proves my sincerity that I'm an internationalist when it comes to the sinners who destroyed ancient civilizations. ”
