Chapter 573: A Blockbuster (5) (21/62)

Yuan Zhengshuo's uncles and nephews did not have half of their faces bright, they originally thought that they could make Meng Zitao lose face, but they found that this was the result, and they were very aggrieved in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 However, Meng Zitao's calligraphy level is too high, and it is impossible for them to fight back in this regard, but if they want to make any other small moves, with Meng Zitao's identity, they don't dare to act rashly.

Some friends may want to say, in this case, why did they provoke Meng Zitao? The reason is actually very simple, if he is embarrassed because his skills are not as good as others, Zheng Anzhi will not be able to stand out, otherwise it will be bullying others.

"I knew that this kid was a demon, what did I have to do with him!" Yuan Zhengshuo's uncle and nephew regretted it, and they both wanted to slip away as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed here.

And Yuan Zhengshuo did the same, just now when he saw that the situation was wrong, he quietly stepped off the stage, and hurriedly gave Yuan Jingde a look, and when everyone was immersed in Meng Zitao's calligraphy, he just said hello to the director and left in a gloomy manner.

The director wished that they would have left earlier, if it weren't for them, a good exchange meeting would not have smelled of gunpowder, but fortunately, Meng Zitao showed an amazing level of calligraphy and provided a topic for the exchange meeting. He believes that with this gimmick, it should attract a lot of attention, and at this time he is already thinking about how to better publicize it.

With the advent of Meng Zitao's cursive "Chivalrous Journey", it has also put an end to the previous disputes, no one mentions what happened just now, and no one cares about the departure of Yuan Zhengshuo's uncle and nephew, but after today, presumably their image in the industry will definitely be affected.

But in the same way, Meng Zitao's calligraphy will inevitably enter everyone's field of vision, especially after the show is broadcast, his reputation will definitely rise, and today's encounter will definitely be gone.

To say, in addition to Yuan Zhengshuo's uncle and nephew, there are also those who participated in the charity exchange meeting last time, they also regret it, because as soon as the show is broadcast, the value of Meng Zitao's works will definitely rise, and the value of the original work is likely to have more than doubled, and it also has a very high collection value.

In the next voting session, Meng Zitao unexpectedly got the highest score in the audience, 351 points, and it can be confirmed that he is the first place in this exchange meeting, and he deserves it.

Meng Zitao returned to his seat, Xu Youhao pretended to be unhappy and said, "Xiao Meng, there is something I want to criticize you. ā€

"What's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked in surprise.

Xu Youhao said: "When you were there with me, you were still hiding, do you want to criticize you!"

At the beginning, the calligraphy works left by Meng Zitao in Xu Youhao were of high enough, but compared with today's works, there is still an obvious gap.

Meng Zitao waved his hand and explained: "Elder Xu, you can wronged me, since I learned from you about today's exchange meeting, I have been preparing, and this is what has today's effect." ā€

Of course, Xu Youhao also understands the gap between improvisation and full preparation, and the reason why he said this is also because the drunkard does not mean to drink: "Anyway, the gap between the two works is obvious, you can look at it." ā€

Meng Zitao said: "Then what do you always want to do?"

Xu Youhao said: "You can give me this "Chivalrous Journey". ā€

Meng Zitao: "...... Can we change the requirements? ā€

To be honest, it was the first time for Meng Zitao to write such a high-level calligraphy work, which also had considerable commemorative significance for him, and he was really reluctant to give it to others.

Before Xu Youhao could speak, he heard a voice suddenly interject from the side: "Old Xu, you are too shameless, how can you just rob it so clearly, can you ask everyone if you agree?"

Xu Youhao turned around and saw that it was Yang Lao, and said, "I said Lao Yang, what does this have to do with you?"

Yang Lao blew his beard and glared and said: "Why does it have nothing to do with me? The thing is not yours, we have a share in it, you dare to swallow it alone, believe it or not, it will cause public outrage! ā€

Xu Youhao said: "I met something good, it doesn't matter if it is an old-timer or not, if you start first, it will not be much better than me." ā€

Seeing that the two elders were arguing, Meng Zitao hurriedly said: "Don't argue, the two elders, I plan to collect this work myself, but I can help you two write a work, but this matter can't be rushed, so it will take a while to give it to you." ā€

Xu Youhao's goal is not necessarily this "Chivalrous Journey", and the reason why he wants Meng Zitao's calligraphy is generally for the purpose of research, so after hearing Meng Zitao say this, he was busy and agreed.

Yang Lao is the same, but his relationship with Meng Zitao is a little embarrassed, but he has already thought about it, and he will prepare the corresponding gifts for Meng Zitao.

Although there is Meng Zitao in front, but everyone's mentality is very positive, after that, some people have come to the stage to show their calligraphy, although these calligraphy works are certainly not up to their own level, but there is a way that there must be a threesome must have my teacher, Meng Zitao still sees it with relish.

By the end of the exchange meeting, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and the final score Meng Zitao of course still firmly occupied the first place, and the results of the next few did not change much.

In addition to a certificate of merit, the first prize also includes a complete collection of calligraphers worth thousands of yuan, including the introduction of famous calligraphers from ancient times to the present and their calligraphy works, which is very practical for Mencius.

Although the host made a bet before, many people regarded it as a joke, and many people were also busy, and after seeing that Yang Lao, Xu Youhao and several of their old-timers had resigned, they basically declined the hosts' invitations in the end.

Because it was still early, and he had promised before, after the exchange meeting, Meng Zitao followed Yang Lao to his house as a guest, and Xu Youhao and Ren Kexin also went together.

Yang Lao's residence is also a courtyard house, but the area is smaller than Zheng Anzhi's, but the geographical location is good, so don't look small, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy it in this year.

When the group followed Yang Lao to the living room, Yang Lao's wife and daughter were chatting.

Yang Lao made an introduction to the two sides, and heard that Meng Zitao was a disciple of Zheng Anzhi, and the mother and daughter were very polite, but when they heard that Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was higher than that of Yang Lao, they couldn't help but be suspicious.

Yang Lao smiled: "It's normal for you not to believe it, to be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." Mr. Meng, can you show me your "Knight's Journey"?"

Of course, Meng Zitao would not refuse, and said: "Old Yang, you can call me Xiao Meng, otherwise I am really embarrassed." ā€

Yang Lao smiled: "What's embarrassing about this, and it's normal to get used to it." ā€

The mother and daughter know Yang Lao's character too well, and they know that Yang Lao is very easy to talk to, but when it comes to the calligraphy he loves, he is very proud in his bones, if he doesn't admire Meng Zitao very much, let him call Meng Zitao "teacher", don't think about it at all.

Because of this, the mother and daughter somewhat believed Yang Lao's words, but when they thought of Meng Zitao's age, they still couldn't believe it, and when Meng Zitao showed the "Chivalrous Journey" he had just made, they accepted this reality in extreme shock.

When Meng Zitao put away the work, Yang Leping, the daughter of Yang Lao, couldn't wait to say: "Teacher Meng, I don't know if you have any ideas for transferring this work?"

Yang Lao waved his hand: "Don't ask this question, Mr. Meng plans to collect this work by himself." ā€

Yang Leping felt very pity, but since her father said so, she didn't persuade her much.

When Mrs. Yang brought tea and poured water for everyone, she said, "Leping, don't you have something you want your father to see, it just so happens that Xu Lao and they are also there, and they can also help you decide." ā€

When Yang Lao heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Is it another boss who wants to ask for my work for your relationship?"

Yang Leping was a little speechless and said: "What's the matter, and this is a Ming Dynasty civil and military officials rewarded with edicts, and it is also from the Yongle period, if it is just for your work, he dares to send it, and I dare to accept it." ā€

"Yongle's fate, is it really fake?" Yang Lao's attention immediately turned to this.

Yang Leping spread her hands: "I can't determine whether it's true or not, so I came to ask your opinion." ā€

As she spoke, she took out a brocade box and took out a handscroll from it.

Everyone got up and stepped aside, put the handscroll on the table, and unfolded it carefully.

The Ming Dynasty civil and military officials rewarded the edict, by the Jinling Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. According to the rule, it is woven with five-color silk, divided into five parts: navy blue, vermilion bright, bright yellow, white, and pink, the first end of the Tibetan blue ground weaves a white lifting double dragon pattern, the middle weaves the four characters of "Fengtian Decree", and the end of the pink ground weaves a white seal book "Yongle four years and a day made". The middle part of the book is a document for the appointment of a general at the time.

Generally speaking, in this kind of heirloom in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty is more common, the early Ming Dynasty is extremely rare, and Yongle colorful weaving, the use of Xuande period is even rarer, if it is genuine, it has extremely important historical value.

After everyone had studied it, Yang Lao asked Meng Zitao, "What do you think?"

Meng Zitao said: "Such an edict is quite rare, and it is also a relatively niche thing on the market, and it is more difficult to forge it, as long as you see the old, there is basically no problem." And so it goes......"

After listening to Meng Zitao's detailed explanation, it was proved that there was indeed no problem with this edict, Yang Leping was very happy in her heart, and her face was full of smiles.

However, Yang Lao said with some seriousness: "Tell me, what is going on with this edict, who gave it to you?"

Yang Leping said word by word: "Dad, you just put a hundred hearts, this is a very normal transaction, it is to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, I asked someone to find it, there is no problem at all." ā€

Yang Lao snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't bother to take care of your affairs, just remind you, just don't cause trouble for the family." ā€

"Hey, am I just so worrying about you!"

Yang Leping shook her head, then put away her things and took them to her room.

Yang Lao invited everyone to take a seat, and said to Meng Zitao: "You may think that I don't believe my daughter too much, but I can't help it, this girl has opened a cultural and art company, and the sturdy people have everything, which makes me worry." There was an incident last time that made me worry for a while, but fortunately in the end, I was safe. ā€

Xu Youhao persuaded: "Lao Yang, don't worry too much, your children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and the company that Le Ping has opened has not been for a year or two, and she knows how to do things." ā€

Yang Lao shook his head: "If you have children, then it would be good to worry." ā€

Yang Lao sighed with emotion, and then adjusted his emotions, discussed calligraphy with Meng Zitao, and talked about some interesting things he had experienced in the past, and after a while, he started laughing.

After enjoying a hearty dinner at Yang's hometown, everyone sat for a while before saying goodbye and going home, before leaving, Meng Zitao also exchanged business cards with Yang Leping.

…………

Time flies, Meng Zitao himself doesn't feel much, he has been in the capital for more than ten days, this is not his home, he has been in the field for so long, he has missed his relatives and friends in Lingshi, and his career is in Lingshi, there has been a backlog of things for so long, and he has to go back to deal with it.

In addition, the schedule of the treasure hunt was approaching, so Meng Zitao bought a plane back to Ling City on the afternoon of the 22nd, so he went to the master to say hello that morning.

"This piece of jade has been tested for everything. Zheng Anzhi handed the piece of yin-yang jade to Meng Zitao.

"What is the result?" Meng Zitao asked.

Zheng Anzhi pointed to the test report on the table: "The material should be jade, but it is somewhat different from the composition of jade that has been discovered now, and there is no record of related jade in any literature." ā€

Meng Zitao opened the test report, although he knew all the data on it, but except for the conclusion, he didn't understand anything else, and in addition, the last "It is recommended to do a more detailed test" was simply ignored by him.

Originally, this jade was very important to him, if it wasn't for the master to bring it up, he really wouldn't have done any testing, God knows what a more detailed inspection would do, he didn't want to take any risks.

Zheng Anzhi continued: "That's it for the time being, wait for other discoveries in the future." ā€

"That's all there is to it. Meng Zitao nodded.

At this time, the phone in the room rang, Zheng Anzhi picked up the phone and chatted for a while, his face exuding anger from time to time, which made Meng Zitao very curious about what happened.

After a while, Zheng Anzhi hung up the phone and said, "The Shuo Rat I mentioned last time has been arrested." ā€

"Who is it?" Meng Zitao hurriedly asked.

Zheng Anzhi said: "It's the security director of the cultural relics warehouse......"

It turned out that due to historical reasons, some of the museum's collections were placed in a warehouse some distance from the museum, and when the police went to investigate, they found that many of the collections in the warehouse were out of order, and the loss was hundreds of millions, which was already a major case.

Then, the investigators found that ordinary people could not sneak into the cultural relics warehouse at all. The outer layer is surrounded by a high wall with a high-voltage power grid, and the gate is a thick wooden door, which is locked inside and out.

There are also three big wolf dogs in the yard, and whenever they hear movement outside, they will immediately bark and pounce. When a dog barks, the security guards at the yard will arrive immediately to investigate what caused it. This kind of thing is carried out by security guards 24 hours a day.

In addition, round-the-clock monitoring is also installed in the warehouse, and there are basically no dead ends. Under such strict guard, there are so many problems with the collection in the warehouse, which makes the case handlers feel incredible.

They said: "Unless there are really flying thieves in movies or novels in the world who can break through walls, except for the staff inside, no one has such a great ability to come in!"

Since the possibility of external invasion is almost zero, the greatest possibility of stealing artifacts is the inner ghost.

As a result, everyone quickly intensified the work of handling the case, adjusted the investigation plan, and repeatedly screened and investigated the internal staff of the security department. According to the information and the analysis of various indications, the Director of Security is the most suspicious.

After that, the security chief was taken away to investigate, and it didn't take much effort to get everything out, and his motive was only because his wife complained to him that others could rely on the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, why he couldn't.

So, unable to resist the temptation of money, he stepped into the abyss of stealing cultural relics...... (To be continued.) )
