Chapter Ninety-Six: Breaking the Ding
Li Er turned his head to look at Lu Dongxing, for fear that Lu Dongxing would be disgusted by Yang Bo's self-assertions, but he saw Lu Dongxing smiling and followed Yang Bo forward.
The old man stopped in front of a broken tile house, turned his head and said, "It is said that it is eight and a half, because this family has a broken bronze tripod, and the other families can still sell it, just their family...... Alas!"
The old man explained, pushed the door and entered.
Yang Bo didn't have any dissatisfaction, but he was faintly excited in his heart, because others would not want a broken tripod, but he was different, he remembered very well that one of the nine tripods cast by Song Huizong was already broken at that time!
The old man kindly wanted to help the family, Yang Bo walked in the door and found out the reason, when he entered the door, the house was surrounded by four walls, the house was dark, and there was a strange smell coming over.
"Li Si! Li Si!" the old man shouted.
Yang Bo and Lu Dongxing both looked at Li Er, and Li Er's face was embarrassed, "I don't have a younger brother!"
At this time, I heard a "hey" answer in the house, and I saw a round leather ball sliding over, and when I looked closely, I found that the person had the lower half of his body amputated, and only the upper half of his body was left on the skateboard.
Yang Bo looked at the other party covered in dirt, a sour smell came to his nose, and his heart was bored, and only sympathy remained.
The old man explained: "Li had a car accident four or five years ago, and his wife and children ran away, and now he can't do anything by living alone!"
After that, he turned to look at Li Si, "These bosses want to see your big ding, where did you put it?"
Li Si looked like he was forty or fifty years old, and his voice was low, "There are still people who have come to see me? I found someone to help me move it to the back of the house last year, and I'll take you over there to have a look!"
Yang Bo was a little anxious, "It's put in the back of the house, is it covered? Isn't it going to rust if it's rainy?"
"Wind and rain? So what? It's been more than ten years since my dad dug it out, and I've always treated it as a baby bump, but what's the use? In the past, some people would be curious to come and see, but no one has even proposed to buy it in the past few years!"
Yang Bo was a little helpless, knowing that the other party's life was difficult, and it was not easy to be able to guard it for more than ten years.
Walked around the tile house for half a circle, there are a few poplars behind the house, there is a tripod under the tree, the tripod has been broken, the wall of the tripod has collapsed, and a large piece has fallen and I don't know where to go.
A layer of leaves fell inside the big ding, and the whole big ding was rusty, and the green rust water stained the ground green!
Yang Bo walked up quickly, carefully checked the decoration of the Ding wall, and found that the decoration was still clear, but it was wrapped in rust, and on the side wall, it was written in regular script "Baoding"!
Yang Bo was overjoyed in his heart, the brilliance flashed in front of him, and gradually converged at the half-waist of the bronze tripod, and the thickness gradually increased, until a ray of brilliance flew out and ingested his eyes, Yang Bo finally determined, this is the bronze tripod cast by Song Huizong!
Yang Bo stood up, and Lu Dongxing walked over and pulled Yang Bo aside.
Yang Bo was puzzled, not knowing what the situation was.
"How about this ding?" Lu Dongxing asked.
Yang Bo did not hide it, "It's true, and it's genuine, although it is broken, but compared to other tripods, the cultural relics of this tripod are more valuable!"
Lu Dongxing was puzzled, "It's obviously broken, how can the cultural relics be more valuable?"
"Because this tripod is not broken now, but in the Song Huizong period, it has been damaged, which is clearly recorded in the history books, so finding this tripod is of great significance to prove the authenticity of other bronze tripods!"
Yang Bo explained, afraid that Lu Dongxing would not believe it, Yang Bo said again: "After casting Jiuding that year, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong relocated Jiuding to Jiucheng Palace. The next day, Zhao Ji went to Jiucheng Palace to offer a gift to the gods. ”
But when he reached the Baoding to the north, the Dading suddenly broke, and the water flowed outside. Zhao Ji stayed there at the time. Cai Jing immediately knelt down and said, Your Majesty, the cracking of the Ding in the north means that there will be civil strife in the Liao State, and we can take the opportunity to destroy them, and the Great Song Dynasty will unify the world. ”
Lu Dongxing listened, nodded, and asked, "What are your plans?"
Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it should be the other party's other plans, "Mr. Lu, you are the main one, you can buy it, you can deal with it!"
Lu Dongxing didn't shirk either, "I want to buy it, hand it over to the Jinling police, and then donate it to the museum through them, what do you think?"
Of course, Yang Bo didn't plan to do this, but he couldn't speak at this time, so he could only nod, "This idea is good, then deal with it according to what Mr. Lu said!"
Lu Dongxing smiled, "You can rest assured, the commission you should have will not be less!"
Next, it is the question of the price, Li Si's situation, even if he gives 10,000 yuan, he will accept it, but for a rich man like Lu Dongxing, these are just numbers, and he waved his hand, "Brother Li Si, this is only 1 million, do you see if you can accept it?"
Li Si was a little dumbfounded, the whole person was stunned, but the old man slapped him, "What are you still doing stupidly?"
Li Si nodded, "Thank you so much!"
Lu Dongxing waved his hand, "No thanks." ”
Yang Bo hurriedly pulled the old man towards the next family, leaving them with little time, and now the people from the local cultural relics bureau must have begun to set up cards for inspection!
The second one is more magnificent, with a high-walled compound and a two-story small bungalow.
The old man knocked on the door, explained his intention, and saw a middle-aged fat man greet him.
The fat man's face was a little arrogant, and he said to the old man: "Fifth uncle, you have to make it clear to them, this tripod does not have two million, I will not make a move, the second family in front has been sold for one and a half million some time ago!"
Yang Bo stepped forward and took a step, "The price is negotiable, let's take a look at the goods first." ”
The middle-aged man didn't insist any longer, and the group arrived in the backyard and soon saw a complete bronze tripod.
Yang Bo walked over and saw the inscription with the word "Fengding", he didn't even look at it anymore, he turned around and walked out, "Uncle, let's go as soon as possible, what was the name of the village just now, didn't his family also have it?"
The old man was a little confused, "That's it?"
The middle-aged fat man said anxiously: "What does this mean?"
Of course, Yang Bo couldn't explain to the other party, Feng Ding had been pulled away by Yuan Ye Zi, this must be fake, he had to say: "Because there are a total of eight Ding, I can't want all of them, I hope to look at them first and choose two of them!"
Middle-aged fat man, "Since you have many choices, don't come back later!"
Yang Bo turned around and went out, he didn't even think about coming back!
