"Brother Huangfu, I'm sorry for you, I want you to pick you up......"

After Zhuang Rui's private plane stopped at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Zhuang Rui walked down, the weather in Paris has been very bad these days, there is a thin rain in the sky, and Huang Fuyun is standing in front of a black car with an umbrella. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hehe, Brother Zhuang, you are good enough, this is a brother and sister, right? Damn, why did you bring a lion here?!"

Huang Fuyun greeted him, and when he saw Qin Xuanbing behind Zhuang Rui, he opened his shoulders and was about to give a hug, but at a glance he saw the white lion rushing down from the cabin, so frightened that Huang Fuyun hurriedly threw away the umbrella in his hand and jumped back a few steps like an electric shock.

The white lion raised his head and glanced at Huangfu Yun, shook the rain that fell on it, followed behind Zhuang Rui, and stayed on the plane for more than 10 hours.

"This is a white lion, it's a snow mastiff, it's not a lion, Brother Huangfu, it's okay, the white lion won't bite......"

Zhuang Rui couldn't help laughing when he saw Huang Fuyun's actions, but the white lion was really a little eye-catching, Zhuang Rui pulled away the car that Huang Fuyun drove from, and let the white lion sit in the co-pilot's seat.

Zhuang Rui's original intention of buying this plane was to take the white lion out for a walk, although the first flight of the white lion did not catch up, but this time to Britain and France, Zhuang Rui still decided to take the white lion with him.

"Zhuang ...... Brother Zhuang, you still have to drive this car, I'll ...... I can't make ......."

Seeing the huge size of the white lion, even Peng Fei would have some weak legs and feet, not to mention Huangfuyun, who was not sitting on the ground now, even if he was bold.

When they were at the capital airport, the appearance of the white lion scared Tian Ya and Liuli into screaming, even He Shuang and Ding Hao, who were also terrified when they saw the white lion.

However, as long as the white lion is by Zhuang Rui's side, he is definitely very docile, lying there quietly all the way, Tian Ya and Liuli fell in love with this big guy, but their several attempts to feed the white lion ended in failure, except for Zhuang Rui and Qin Xuanbing and others, the white lion now only accepts Peng Fei's food.

"I'll drive, I'm familiar with Paris......"

Qin Xuanbing smiled and sat in the driver's seat, but Huangfuyun only drove a car over, Zhuang Rui could only let Peng Fei and the crew go to the hotel together, and He Shuang still had some matters to deal with with Charles de Gaulle Airport about the shutdown.

The city of Paris is the capital and largest city of France, as well as the political and cultural center of France, one of the four world-class cities, along with New York in the United States, Tokyo in Japan, and London in the United Kingdom.

Paris is also the largest city on the European continent and one of the most prosperous cities in the world.

After leaving the airport, the car got on a motorway, and after about 20 minutes, it entered the city of Paris along the beautiful Seine.

Driving in the culturally rich streets of Paris, you can see all kinds of museums, theaters, gardens, fountains and sculptures everywhere, and the artistic atmosphere is extremely strong.

"That's Notre Dame Cathedral, right?"

As the car drove through the center of Paris, Zhuang Rui saw a Gothic-style Catholic church, and although he was a geography idiot, he still knew about Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Qin Xuanbing nodded and said, "Yes, Zhuang Rui, let's go there tomorrow and have a look......

Paris is a city with a romantic and sensual nature, no matter which country people come here, they will be infected by this atmosphere, Qin Xuanbing is no exception, she also wants to hold hands with Zhuang Rui and walk slowly in the streets and alleys of Paris.

When Qin Xuanbing was doing jewelry design work in London, she had to come to Paris for two days a week to stay, compared to the rainy and humid London, Paris is undoubtedly more attractive.

"Okay, let's go take a look tomorrow, Brother Huangfu, it seems that the auction is the day after tomorrow, right?"

Since Zhuang Rui figured out that joint, he didn't have much interest in this auction, and it was a kind of bandit to take out the treasures he had snatched from China and sell them to the Chinese at a high price.

Before Zhuang Rui came to Paris, the relevant state departments had protested and condemned the auction, but the French side covered up this ugly auction with private business practices, and the country could not resist it, Zhuang Rui naturally had no way, but his interest in this auction was much weaker.

With this kind of awareness, Zhuang Rui feels that it is better to have a good time with his daughter-in-law in Paris, this ancient city with a very strong cultural heritage also has many places worth exploring.

"It's the day after tomorrow, Brother Zhuang, I have decided to withdraw from this auction......"

Huang Fuyun's words made Zhuang Rui stunned for a moment, since he didn't want to participate, why did this guy come to Paris?

"Is it because of that statement in China that you can see the essence of this matter clearly?"

Zhuang Rui asked with a smile, Huangfu Yun is a good friend, very honest, and more importantly, although he has a green card, he still thinks he is Chinese in his heart.

"This batch of cultural relics was provided to the auction house by the French Frey family, I asked a friend to investigate, and found that this batch of cultural relics from China is not the most precious in the Frey family, the most precious Qianlong jade seal and the portraits of the emperors and ministers of the Qing Dynasty are still kept in their homes......

Huang Fuyun did not answer Zhuang Rui's words, but said a piece of news that shocked Zhuang Rui.

"Damn, it's this bastard again......"

Zhuang Rui couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he was no stranger to the name "Frey", Frey was the top general of the French ** team when the "Eight-Nation Alliance" invaded Beijing in 1900.

In recent years, however, the name of this raider has repeatedly appeared in the art market associated with Chinese art, and has been linked to many precious Chinese cultural relics.

And Zhuang Rui saw in the mailbox a "Portrait of Chunhui Guifei" advertised by the auctioneer, and its source is only one sentence, which is "from the Frey family's collection" as stated in the auction catalogue.

"By the way, Brother Huangfu, how do you know these things?"

The auction house has always kept the information of the seller who took out the lot strictly confidential, and Huang Fuyun's friends, even the staff of the auction house, probably did not dare to disclose it, which is a crime.

"Let's talk about it later......"

Huang Fuyun shook his head, did not continue this topic, but introduced Zhuang Rui to the cultural landscape of Paris, just mentioned this topic, Zhuang Rui was not very interested in these things, until he arrived at the hotel, he was a little absent-minded.

Although Zhuang Rui is not the kind of hot-blooded little angry youth, he is very uncomfortable with the cultural relics left by the country for thousands of years to be taken out by a robber family and openly auctioned.

After entering the hotel room that Huangfu Yun had already booked for Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui asked eagerly: "Brother Huangfu, don't hide it, what's going on? How many cultural relics of our country does the Frey family have?"

"That's right, I have a student in Paris who is very keen on this matter, but as soon as he was a student, I also did something, so I asked a private detective to investigate these things, and found that the Chinese art in Paris is basically the ...... of the Frey family."

Huang Fuyun's words made Zhuang Rui startled, daring to love this buddy who looked inconspicuous, and even used a private detective behind his back, but as Huang Fuyun's story deepened, Zhuang Rui's face gradually became solemn, and Huang Fuyun's investigation was more detailed than the history that Zhuang Rui knew.

When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, the French army headquarters was stationed in the Shouhuang Palace in Jingshan, according to the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty: the imperial statue and seal of the late emperor and his concubine must be enshrined in the Shouhuang Palace.

Frey, who was the commander of the French army at the time, and his subordinates naturally did not let go of the treasures in the Shouhuang Palace. Frey himself is said to have had a good artistic accomplishment, and many of the Chinese works of art he looted are recorded in the archives of the Shouhuang Palace.

Frei returned to France with a full load, and he and his descendants reaped a very comfortable life from these "trophies".

In recent years, the 12 sets of seals of the Qing Kangxi Emperor's "Peiwenzhai", the "Treasure of the Taishang Emperor" of Qianlong, and the Qing court paintings "Qianlong's Southern Tour Map, Volume I" and "Qianlong's Southern Tour Map, Volume VII" are also from the Frey family.

In addition to the artworks that flowed to the market, Frey donated a total of 18 important Chinese cultural relics to the French government in batches from 1925 to 1934, including the fourth volume of Lang Shining's Mulan and four other portraits of the Qianlong Emperor and his concubine.

Among the four oil paintings, "Bust of Emperor Qianlong" has been recognized as painted by Lang Shining. The sources, as Frey wrote to the Musée Guimet in 1914, come from "the headquarters of the French Expeditionary Force, the main hall of the Shouhuang in Beijing, where the ancestors of the emperor were worshipped." ”

And this auction is another big move by the Frey family, I really don't know about these robbers. How many precious cultural relics were snatched from China back then?

"Damn, this bastard doesn't know what the matter is to return things to China to his mother's French museum?"

Zhuang Rui stood up angrily, hearing this in his ears, it was really breathtaking, and the feeling of watching the national treasure being auctioned was really uncomfortable.

In fact, this is also the reason for the difference in positions, if Zhuang Rui robs the palace of Little Japan, that thing will not be returned if it is killed.
