Listening to Qin Runyan's explanation, Meng Zitao looked around with some curiosity, and found that the room was very large, and there were multiple individual vertical glass cabinets in the room, in which there were paintings and calligraphy works, among which there were more on paper and only a small number of silk works.

In addition to the vertical glass cabinet that houses calligraphy and paintings, there are also two Bogu cabinets, on which some antiques are placed, although it is not very clear from a distance, but it can still be seen that these should be boutiques.

When Qin Runyan's words fell, Meng Zitao asked with some curiosity: "How do you control the humidity in the room here?"

Qin Runyan explained: "It is mainly used with desiccant color-changing silica gel or anhydrous calcium chloride. ”

As for the method of controlling the temperature, everyone knows it, and Meng Zitao didn't ask much.

Next, Qin Runyan took everyone to the Bogu cabinet, opened the cabinet door below, took out two brocade boxes from inside, and put them on the counter.

When he opened it, Meng Zitao found that there was a vajra knife and a bronze cloisonné enamel statue of a lady, these two things, at a glance, knew that they were old objects that had been opened to the generations, and they were all quite precious.

Seeing the look of amazement on Meng Zitao's face, Qin Runyan smiled knowingly: "Brother, you can read it first." ”

"Then you're welcome. Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and he picked up the vajra knife first.

The vajra knife is a common ritual weapon in Tibetan Buddhism, which shows that the sacred Dharma is inviolable and protects the heart of the Dharma. Tibetan Buddhism's statues of the tiger-faced empty mother, the lion-faced empty mother, and the Great Mighty King Kong all have the image of holding a sword.

Knives often have a sharp, flat blue iron body with a hook at the end. Its original meaning was chopping, scraping, hooking and other actions, and later extended to the wisdom of cutting off all emotions and perceptions. The sharp blade of the blade can completely destroy the two major "obstacles", namely the "obstacle of affliction" and the "obstacle of knowledge", and thus attain perfection.

In the practice, the blade of the sword can also cut off the six shades, that is, "greed, breaking vows, anger, slackness, scatteredness, and stupidity", so that people can enter the state of meditation. In the hands of the angry Vajra, the sword symbolizes the means of breaking all ideas.

The first part is a five-cobalt vajra as a handle, and the second part is a capricorn and its mouth spit out an iron blade, a combination typical of Tibetan Buddhist ritual instruments.

The blade that unfolds from the mouth of Capricorn, the front end is curved, the front and back of the knife body are made of the diamond mantra with the wrong gold process, the front is the eight-character mantra of the Great Weide King Kong, and the knife hook is made of Chinese characters wrong gold "Daming Yongle Nian Shi" regular script, and the other side of the knife is the eleven-character mantra of the fundamental mantra of the Great Weide King Kong, and the knife hook is made wrong gold "Daming Yongle Nianshi" Tibetan Pinyin paragraph.

The overall structure and production process of this knife show the skillful craftsmanship and superb artistic level of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and is a model work of Tibetan Buddhism in the Ming Dynasty court. The intricate and delicate patterns are densely covered with the wrong gold and silver technology, from the curly grass decoration of the cobalt fork to the dense scales of Capricorn, and then to the wrong gold dragon pattern, all of which reflect its pinnacle in craftsmanship.

Meng Zitao was simply amazed by this golden steel knife, you know, because the iron wrong gold process is very complicated, even in the Ming Dynasty court, such a complicated gold and steel knife will be respected as a precious magic weapon.

Moreover, more than 600 years have passed, and the statues and ritual instruments that Emperor Yongle gave to Tibet, the earth, the Buddha, the teachings, the collars, and the sleeves have experienced the baptism of the Jiajing Dynasty to worship the Tao and suppress the Buddha, as well as the war and the light of time, etc., and there is no one in a hundred.

Although the knife is still in the world, but the wrong gold and silver diamond knife inscribed with the "Ming Yongle New Year" paragraph, so far only seen, Mencius Tao does not say that there is only such a handle in the world, at least he only sees this handle, which can also see its preciousness.

It can be said that even if there is still a gap in value with this Tang Yin work in the hands of Meng Zitao, there is not much difference.

Another piece of bronze cloisonné enamel statue of a lady, is also a very precious collection, as the early Kangxi enamel, mainly to the Ming Dynasty imperial supervisor in the palace to manufacture the cloisonné enamel as a sample, the enamel color is pure, the glaze surface is smooth, the cloisonné is slender and symmetrical, and the decoration layout is regular, these blue out of the blue and better than the blue advantages, directly affect the development of the enamel process in later generations.

Meng Zitao pondered in his heart, and estimated that its value was about three or four million, which added up to about a million more than the value of Tang Yin's paintings.

Of course, Qin Runyan is willing, this price is not a loss, and Meng Zitao doesn't know how much Qin Runyan spent on buying these two things, if it is cheap, at least he will feel psychologically that he has earned it.

Although Meng Zitao was very interested in these two collections and had the idea of collecting them, Tang Yin's painting was also very precious, which made him very troubled, and he could be regarded as experiencing the depression of not being able to have both a fish and a bear's paw.

After all, Tang Yin's paintings are numerous, and if you have money, it is entirely possible to buy them, but such a gold steel knife is likely to be unique, and the probability of getting it is much smaller than Tang Bohu's paintings.

Seeing that Meng Zitao seemed to have made a decision, Qin Runyan was apprehensive in his heart, and immediately asked, "Brother, what do you think of my two collections?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "The things are really good, I tell you the truth, in terms of value, your two collections are higher than my paintings." ”

Qin Runyan felt a lot better about Meng Zitao when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't spend a lot of money to get them at the beginning, but if I really want to say it, I still made a lot of money." ”

In fact, the reason why Qin Runyan thought of the idea of exchange was also because he bought these two collections at the price of the leakage, so even if the painting seal has not yet shown its true face, it doesn't matter to him.

Even, Qin Runyan was worried that this painting would show its true face, in case there were some inscriptions and connoisseurship seals of famous artists, it would add some variables.

As for the authenticity of this painting, Qin Runyan is still a little confident, and Meng Zitao is a close disciple of Zheng Anzhi, and Meng Zitao's recognition has also increased his confidence.

Meng Zitao smiled: "I can exchange with you, but you must not regret it afterwards." ”

Qin Runyan said with a smile: "Since I made the decision, of course I won't regret it, otherwise, we can make a note later." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then let me take a picture of the details of this painting, and we will make an exchange." ”

"No problem. Qin Runyan said very happily.

Next, Meng Zitao used a digital camera to take a detailed picture of the painting, and then the two parties signed a transfer agreement, and the transaction was considered successful.

After having lunch at Qin Runyan's place, the three of them had just left, and Qin Runyan's son came back.

"At this point, why are you coming to my side if you don't stay in your company?" Qin Runyan and his son did not have a very good relationship, and his tone was not too friendly.

Qin Forest said with a smile: "Isn't there something I want to trouble you." ”

Qin Runyan frowned and said, "What kind of moth do you want to do?"

When Qin Linlin heard this, he was also a little dissatisfied in his heart: "Dad, you don't have to say that, I am your son after all, can it be that in your eyes, I don't do business all day long?"

Qin Runyan sneered: "Tell me what you have done in the past two years? Let's talk about the company, if I don't help you support you, can you do it yourself? Believe it or not, I will immediately ask my friend to stop taking care of you?"

Although Qin Forest was unhappy in his heart, he really didn't dare to contradict it: "I'm not young and ignorant, you see that I have done it this year, and the company has also developed impressively." ”

"Hmph!" Qin Runyan snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more, after all, it was his own son, and his anger was mainly based on hatred of iron and steel.

Qin Linlin smiled and begged: "Dad, you can do me this favor, as long as this thing is done, my business will definitely be able to go to the next level." ”

"Say!" Qin Runyan glanced at his son.

Qin Linlin said: "That's the case, a friend of mine, he likes magic weapons, your ......"

"Phew!" Qin Runyan reprimanded angrily: "Qin Linlin, why do you do your best, don't you feel ashamed!"

Qin Linlin said: "Dad, you are also a businessman, it is normal to give gifts, and he doesn't give money." ”

Qin Runyan sneered: "How much can he give you?" Do you know the value of my magic weapon?"

Qin Forest swore and said: "He is very rich, as long as he can satisfy him, money is not a thing." ”

Qin Runyan sneered: "Can he take out forty million at once?"

"How much? How much can your magic weapon be worth so much?" Qin Linlin was a little dumbfounded, and he was also very depressed in his heart, he knew that the magic weapon could be worth so much money, and he would not mention this matter at all.

"What do you think?" Qin Runyan said: "Besides, as long as the algorithm is still in my hands, I will definitely not transfer it, such a treasure cannot be measured by money at all." ”

Qin Linlin was a little frustrated at first, but he immediately reacted, and Qin Runyan had something in his words: "Dad, you mean that your magic weapon has been transferred to someone else?"

Qin Runyan knew what kind of virtue his son was, and he didn't want to tell him at all: "Why do you care so much, run your company honestly and down-to-earth for me!"

After speaking, Qin Runyan ignored his son, turned around and took the calligraphy and painting brocade box, and walked towards the door, preparing to find a framing master he knew, process the painting, and show the original face of the painting.

Seeing that his father should not go out, Qin Linlin's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly found the nanny at home and asked if there were any guests who had come over recently, and the bodyguard mentioned Meng Zitao and others who had just left.

After listening to the nanny's words, Qin Forest thought that nine times out of ten it was that Meng Zitao changed his father's magic weapon, and he must know Meng Zitao's information before he could make further plans.

Although the nanny didn't know Meng Zitao, she knew Chen Zhongfeng, but the relationship between Qin Forest and Chen Zhongfeng was not very good, so it was inconvenient for him to ask Chen Zhongfeng. After thinking about it, he immediately had an idea, he could use the surveillance at home to obtain a photo of Meng Zitao, and then he could learn about Meng Zitao's information through the photo.

However, the key to the monitoring room is on Qin Runyan's body, and as for the spare key, Qin Forest doesn't know where it is, thinking about it, he can only trouble the nanny again.

The nanny didn't want to agree, but she couldn't withstand Qin Linlin's coercion and temptation, and Qin Linlin was not an outsider, so she could only agree and promise not to reveal it to Qin Runyan.

Meng Zitao did not know that he would cause some trouble because of a very ordinary exchange, and in the afternoon, he accepted Chen Zhongfeng's invitation to Chen Zhongfeng's house, admired Chen Zhongfeng's collection, and after dinner, he returned to the hotel.

In the early hours of the morning, Meng Zitao was still asleep, and Zheng Zongxian suddenly called.

Meng Zitao picked it up a little confused, and when he heard Zheng Zongxian say that someone was investigating him through the internal system, the whole person woke up instantly.

In fact, the reason why Meng Zitao has this treatment is also because he now has a special identity, once it is found that someone is using the internal system to investigate, the above will immediately know, and the corresponding procedures will be initiated.

"Brother Zheng, do you know who is investigating me?" Meng Zitao asked with a frown.

Zheng Zongxian said: "According to the results of the investigation, it should be instructed by a person named Qin Linlin, I don't know if you have any holidays with him?"

"Qin Linlin, I don't know this person!" Meng Zitao was a little confused, but immediately reacted, Qin Runyan is also surnamed Qin, will there be a relationship between the two? But with Qin Runyan's person, he shouldn't do this.

Moreover, Meng Zitao also called Zheng Anzhi at night and asked about Qin Runyan, and Zheng Anzhi told him that there was indeed such a thing, and he had a good relationship with Qin Runyan's father, but Qin Runyan's father died for a period of time and lost contact.

Since this is the case, Qin Runyan has no reason to investigate himself, which is also the strange thing about Meng Zitao.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Meng Zitao still told the truth and told Zheng Zongxian the news.

Zheng Zongxian listened to Meng Zitao's narration, and also recalled that Qin Runyan did have a son named Qin Linlin, and I heard that the relationship between the two was not very good, and Qin Linlin liked to engage in some crooked ways.

Meng Zitao learned about Qin Linlin's personality, and thought that Qin Linlin would be dissatisfied with Qin Runyan for exchanging things for himself, so he wanted to use his crooked brains?

Zheng Zongxian asked, "Teacher Meng, do you want to arrest Qin Forest first and investigate it clearly?"

Meng Zitao originally wanted to agree, but he was worried that there were still people behind Qin Linlin, so he thought about it and said, "Let's observe it for the time being, he shouldn't have no follow-up moves, right?"

Zheng Zongxian persuaded: "But in this way, it will have an impact on your safety." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "It doesn't matter if there is a large army. ”

Zheng Zongxian persuaded again: "As the old saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, I suggest you should be careful." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Just like you said, if there is a hidden arrow behind the Qin Forest, it must be found out, otherwise even if I dodge it this time, what if I am unlucky next time? ”

Because Meng Zitao's level is not enough, the army cannot be equipped with guns, and now is a special time, so it can be treated specially.

Zheng Zongxian also agreed with the meaning of Meng Zitao's words, and said, "Okay, I'll bring it over immediately." ”

Not long after Zheng Zong hung up the phone, he rushed to the hotel, handed over the gun to Meng Zitao, and brought a message that as long as the army was Meng Zitao's bodyguard, he could be equipped with a gun.

This made Meng Zitao a little strange, and hurriedly asked why, Zheng Zongxian told him that it was the decision from above, and he didn't know the specifics.

Meng Zitao thought about it and felt that there would be no one else besides the master, which made him very moved.

After handing over the pistol, Meng Zitao asked Wei Hongliang about the results of the investigation, and Zheng Zong first told him that there were already some clues, but judging from the clues, the other party may be just a porcelain repair master, not the person they were looking for.

This made Meng Zitao a little disappointed, but also a little curious about the porcelain repair master, so he troubled Zheng Zongxian to inform him after he had the results of the investigation.

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day, the golden steel knife and the statue of a lady were temporarily deposited in the bank, and Meng Zitao and the army set off for yesterday's antique market.

Originally, Meng Zitao wanted to visit this antique market yesterday, but he didn't expect to be delayed again, so he decided to go shopping today.

Everything is similar to yesterday, although it is not a weekend, but the antique market is still relatively lively, and it is worthy of being the most popular antique market in Yingdu. Of course, these days, good things are rare, and the stalls are also real fakes mixed and matched, with fewer genuine products and more fakes.

Meng Zitao and the army walked around together, and harvested a few gadgets, which can be regarded as a small harvest, and Meng Zitao is also quite satisfied with this, after all, it is impossible to have a big leak like yesterday every day.

After walking for a while, Mencius came to a stall, only to see that the stall was full, with a row of porcelain in front, a pile of loose copper coins behind, and a few booklets containing copper coins.

Meng Zitao looked around and found that the things on the stall were basically fake, so he lost interest, but before he left, he still used his ability to sweep it, and unexpectedly found that there were treasures in the pile of copper coins.

If there is a leak, it will be a fool, Meng Zitao said to the stall owner: "Boss, let me look at the copper coin." ”

The stall owner nodded faintly, and then chatted with the stall owner next to him.

Meng Zitao picked it among the copper coins, and after a while, he found the target of the ability, a Chongning Tongbao.

Chongning Tongbao was cast for the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong Zhao Ji Chongning year, the year name money. There are three kinds of Chongning Tongbao, Chongning Chongbao and Chongning Yuanbao. Chongning Tongbao is the tenth type, and the money is the book of Huizong, so it is the royal book money. The Qian calligraphy is delicate and skinny, with iron and silver hooks, which is the true manifestation of Huizong Zhao Ji's thin gold calligraphy in the world.

However, this Chongning Tongbao is much thicker than the ordinary version, and the third point of the "heart" of the traditional "Ning" does not return to the hook, it is a pen point, not a thin gold body back to the hook point, these are the characteristics of Chongning Tongbao Iron Mother.

After Meng Zitao picked this Chongning Tongbao, he picked another ordinary Chongning Heavy Treasure, ready to ask the price. (To be continued.) )
