Seeing that Tang Feng didn't speak, Ming Cheng asked him, "Mr. Tang, are you sure you want to appoint."

Tang Feng said: "What I really want to entrust is not this lotus petal hexagonal plate, but this jade seal, if you can accept the entrustment of the jade seal, this hexagonal plate does not matter." \()/"The income that the six-sided plate can bring to Tang Feng is also 1.8 million, which can't solve Tang Feng's urgent need, and the jade seal is the focus of Tang Feng."

"I see what you mean. Zhang Mingcheng said: "As long as the thing is real and has a certain value, we will accept the entrustment, do business, can we still push the customer out of the door?" After he finished speaking, he put down the hexagonal plate in his hand and held the jade seal with both hands, his expression did not change when he first saw the appearance of the jade seal, and when he saw the inscription on the printing surface, his face changed several times, Tang Feng knew that he had no bottom for this thing.

"Mr. Tang, where did you get this jade seal?" Zhang Mingcheng immediately asked Tang Fengdao, this guy must be suspecting that this jade seal was stolen by Tang Feng from the Palace Museum.

Tang Feng said: "Don't worry, this is not the side of the Palace Museum's collection, otherwise, it would have caused a sensation in the whole country a long time ago, wouldn't it?"

Zhang Mingcheng said: "This doesn't look like an imitation, but I'm not sure at all, if Mr. Tang is sincere, please give us three hours." "This matter is tricky, and no one dares to draw conclusions easily, and if it is not done well, it will cause academic controversy. Zhang Mingcheng continued: "Mr. Tang, don't worry, we are an internationally renowned auction house, everything will come according to the procedure, we will issue you a temporary management certificate, during this period, we are fully responsible for the safety of this jade seal." ”

Don't worry about this, this kind of internationally renowned enterprises are playing big tricks, and they will never use such clumsy tricks as the package. After Tang Feng agreed, Zhang Mingcheng quickly handed over the temporary management certificate to Tang Feng, and said: "No matter what the result is, we will give you an accurate answer within three hours. ”

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Then I will be out of company." After that, Feng and Lin Muyu left the living room.

Walking out of the living room, Lin Muyu asked Tang Fengdao: "Will I go to the auction tour now?"

Tang Feng looked helpless, he said: "To be honest, I'm really a little scared to visit the lots, in case I see any priceless treasures, I will feel uncomfortable." ”

Lin Muyu smiled slightly. "I think so too." ”

Tang Feng said: "But you can't stop going because you're afraid?" Mu Yu, don't worry. I'm in a good mood. Life is unsatisfactory ** out of ten. It's normal to have gains and losses. Like what. There are many beauties in this world, and I only need Mu Yu to be enough. ”

"Cut. Lin Muyu sneered and said: "You don't blush when you lie." ”

The Spring Auction Preview is on the ground floor of the Shanghai Centre. It is a relatively open exhibition, and it is said to be an exhibition. It's actually more like an art salon. The exhibition cabinets of the lot are scattered in the exhibition hall of 10,000 square meters, and there are many sand seats and coffee tables around the cabinets for visitors to rest. Guests can not only rest, but also order meals and drinks to eat and chat. Of course. This is to be paid for. Furthermore. This preview is not a hands-on place for visitors.

"Mr. Tang!" Tang Feng and Lin Muyu just walked to the exhibition hall. There was a sweet and moving voice greeting Tang Feng. Tang Feng looked back. But it's Fan Ziyun. Fan Ziyun is beautiful, needless to say. She is better than Lin Muyu and Liu Yue in temperament. She is a woman who can easily make men fantasize. Exactly. It's a sexual fantasy. I can do that kind of thing with a gentle and dignified beauty on the TV screen, who is loved by thousands of people. That sense of accomplishment is something every man dreams of.

Tang Feng greeted her with a smile. He said, "Hello Miss Fan. How did you come to Shanghai?"

"We're going to do an episode about a lot at Christie's Hong Kong Spring Auction 1, and our seats are over there. Fan Ziyun pointed to a table in the distance and said to Tang Feng and Lin Muyu, "Mr. Tang and Miss Lin don't mind going over and sitting for a while, right?"

Lin Muyu smiled and nodded, and said, "I'll do it casually, just ask him." ”

Tang Feng was concerned about another matter, he asked Fan Ziyun: "What lot is so important, and I want you to make a special trip to Shanghai to do the show." ”

"I didn't know it, I thought you were here to buy back the lot. Fan Ziyun said: ", this lot is the Shang Fang sword given by Nanming Anzong to Shi Kefa, the deputy governor of Nanming soldiers and horses. ”

Tang Feng smiled lightly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is another repurchase trap, right?"

Fan Ziyun sighed and said: "That's true, a tried and tested trap, our episode of this show just wants to objectively analyze whether this kind of repurchase is necessary." The showcase is over there, and whether Mr. Tang is interested or not, I would love to hear your conclusions. ”

You can't get started, and you can draw conclusions directly from observation, which is visual appreciation, and it is also the most testing appraisal method for antique identification. Fan Ziyun's grandfather Fan Chengru helped Tang Feng, and Tang Feng still had a good impression of Fan Ziyun, he said: "Miss Fan."

If there is any reason not to obey it, then go and see it. ”

Fan Ziyun smiled at Lin Muyu and said, "Mr. Tang is serious. ”

Soon, the three of them walked to the ancient sword display cabinet together, and the full name of this lot was "Nanming Anzong Zhu Youyu Gave Soldiers and Horses, Deputy Governor Shi Kefa Shangfang Sword and Shi Kefa Martyrdom Self-Killing Sword".

"This gang of ***!" Tang Feng couldn't help but curse when he saw the label, he shook his head and said: "Alas, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, the words 'Shi Kefa's martyrdom from the sword' show all the clues, and it is clear that he wants to use the national feelings of the Chinese to ask for a price. ”

Since it is an auction item, its regular data must be credible, and the label of the display case states that the sword is 99 meters long, the blade is 80 meters long, and the sword is 5 meters wide. Tang Feng looked at the valuation again, it was indeed outrageous, RMB 000,000.

As we all know, feudalism is a monarchical regime, and a highly centralized system is obviously unable to cope with complex and changing society, especially when the society is in turmoil. Under such special circumstances, the emperor had to grant some local officials and military generals the power of arbitrariness and even arbitrariness within a certain range. Being given the Shang Fang Sword also means that he has supreme power on behalf of the Emperor himself, so the original Shang Fang Sword is sacred and inviolable.

However, the Shang Fang sword of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Shang Fang sword after Emperor Chongzhen's accession to the throne, is not valuable, because there are too many Shang Fang swords handed down, and it is roughly estimated that it is above 100 handles. When the Shang Fang sword had become proliferating to the point where every civil and military official had a single sword, it was not surprising that it had depreciated significantly. At that time, the Shang Fang sword system was indeed chaotic, and Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong with the Shang Fang sword given by Chongzhen, and Mao Wenlong himself also had the Shang Fang sword given by Chongzhen. In addition, rebel generals like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui also have Shang Fang's sword, which is called chaos.

Symbolism aside, in terms of quality alone, the Shangfang sword in the late Ming Dynasty was not as good as before, there was no way, the national strength was limited. Relatively speaking, the quality of this Shangfang sword is okay, its sword body is well preserved, the whole body has fine patterns, there are grooves, the hilt is wrapped in crocodile skin, one side is inlaid with seven copper nails, and one side is left with the six-character Lishu inscription of "Daming Hongguang Yuci".

After reading it, Tang Feng said affirmatively: "This handle must be genuine, but its real value is only tens of thousands of yuan." "This sword has undergone wet chemical dating analysis, and there is no doubt about its authenticity, wet chemical analysis is the most accurate metal antique dating technique, absolutely reliable, and the historical documents have definitely mentioned this sword.

Fan Ziyun nodded and said, "I hope this sword is fake, but the experts we invited all say it's true." Mr. Tang, I would like to ask you a question, is it okay?"

Tang Feng said: "Of course you can, you ask." ”

Fan Ziyun said: "As a collector, are you willing to buy back this Shang Fang sword?" In Fan Ziyun's eyes, Tang Feng, who bought Su Dongpo's manuscript with a lot of money, seems to have become a collector.

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "If it's ten percent cheaper, I'll consider it." "Although this Shang Fang sword is also a heroic relic, its true value is difficult to compare with the righteous qi inkstone, and this kind of collection is in the hands of people with ill intentions, which will encourage this unhealthy trend, the most critical problem is that Tang Feng does not have this spare money now, if that Fang jade seal can be sold for a good price, you can also consider it.

Fan Ziyun said: "This is indeed a dilemma, the two experts we invited are also over there, they are acquaintances, if Mr. Tang is free, you might as well go over and sit down, and we can communicate." ”

Tang Feng looked at the side where they were sitting, and he knew two experts, namely Zhang Yuanzhi, a senior calligraphy and painting appraisal expert at the National History Museum, and Wei Qizheng, a veteran expert at the National Museum of China. Fan Ziyun didn't wait for Tang Feng to answer, so she pulled Lin Muyu and said, "Miss Lin, go over and sit down." ”

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Feng helplessly, Tang Feng understood what Fan Ziyun meant, she hoped that the exchange between the three of them could create a little spark, because of Fan Chengru's reason, Tang Feng always couldn't bear to refuse Fan Ziyun's request, he said: "Then go over and sit down." ”

The three of them walked over together, and before they reached their seats, Tang Feng heard Wei Qizheng's very indignant voice, and he said: "I think that people of insight should buy back this Shang Fang sword, we can't let the heroic relics be left overseas again." ”

Seeing Tang Feng coming, Zhang Yuanzhi and Wei Qizheng both got up to greet each other, and after a polite gesture, the three of them sat down, Tang Feng said politely: "You go on, I'll just sit casually." He didn't want to get involved in their arguments.

Zhang Yuanzhi, who has a grudge against Tang Feng, seems to be unwilling to let go of this opportunity, he asked Tang Feng: "What does Mr. Tang think of this matter?" As soon as Zhang Yuanzhi said this, everyone present looked at Tang Feng together, and then shook his head secretly in his heart, this question is not easy to answer, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be labeled as unpatriotic.
