Chapter 371 What is it

The pirated jury bench was full of men, men and women, all dressed in formal dresses, and the solemn and solemn position of the chief justice was lined up with other judges, although it was not like the criminal courtroom with all real guns and nuclear bombs, but there were a few more guards. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Wang Yao came in, everyone looked at him with different eyes.

Under the guidance of the guide, he went to the courtroom and sat on the plaintiff's side, nodding to a noble lady opposite, who also smiled kindly.

This lady is the head of the Red Mansion in Paris, Madame Henjar, that is, the descendant of Lu Qinzhai.

Wang Yao does not have any contradiction with her, because she is the auctioneer and only needs to sell the Red Mansion, and the Paris Cultural Heritage Association and the government have been pointing fingers, so this bill has nothing to do with her, it is a duel between Wang Yao and the French Cultural Heritage Association.

"Silence. Sewell, who was sitting in the judge's seat, knocked on the gavel, interrupted some of the discussion, coughed lightly and laughed, "I'm just trying this to make it good, by the way, Fansie, should I bring a wig to be more formal?"

Sewell's humor made everyone laugh, and the tension eased.

"But I would like to remind you that this is a serious verdict. Servie smiled, "All here are old acquaintances, except for this Mr. Wang Gu, I have heard of the fame, and I saw it for the first time today, but everyone is a family, and they are all working hard for the protection and inheritance of human civilization, Mr. Wang Gu is, and so are the cultural relics workers in France." ”

Selvie paused, "And this trial, the result we gave is only a reference result, after all, the cultural relics transaction is the personal will of both parties, we will not directly intervene, but how to make the right choice, protect and carry forward the culture, cultural relics and heritage, is the duty of each of us, we should have a scale in our hearts." ”

Wang Yao looked at the white-bearded old man through the black veil, and had a good impression, this old man was quite good at what he said, and first stood on the commanding heights of professional ethics to put pressure on both sides.

Although he has no right to make a judgment, if the losing party insists on cheating, it will indeed be ridiculed by all his peers, after all, people live with a face.

"After all, we are not regular judges, so we will not go through the process, and now we will directly invite the plaintiff, Mr. Wang Gu, to speak. Sevier said with a smile.

Wang Yao was stunned, he thought that it might not be too formal, but he didn't expect it to be so casual.

Standing up and bowing slightly to the judges' seat, the judges who were understood by Huaxia for the first time stood up a little overwhelmed and did the same.

Wang Yao saluted the jurors in the audience again, and finally saluted the defendant opposite, "Excuse me, am I in French or English?"

Servie looked at Orlando.

"In English. Orlando nodded.

Wang Yao nodded: "First of all, I ask Mrs. Zheng Hengyal, when Mr. Lu Qinzhai took refuge in the American imperialists in 1940, was the Red House entrusted to the Guimet Museum for protection?"

Mrs. Henjar got up and nodded, "That's right, when there was a war in Paris, my grandfather entrusted the Red Chamber to the Guimet Museum for protection when he fled, and later my grandfather donated a batch of cultural relics to the Guimet Museum in order to thank him. ”

Wang Yao nodded, took out a list from his sleeve and asked the person next to him to hand it to the presiding judge Servi, "This is what I collected in the Guimet Museum, the cultural relics donated by Mr. Lu Qinzhai, and the damage." ”

After Wang Yao finished speaking, the face of a bearded man on the jury backstage became ugly, because he was the director of the Guimet Museum, and Wang Yao's move was a bit like raiding his house with him.

"Mr. Wang Koo is really a qualified scholar. Sevier stood up and nodded in respect.

"It is not known how much Mr. Lu Qinzhai donated back then, and I don't know if there is a record from Mrs. Hengyal. Wang Yao said softly.

Mrs. Honjar turned her head to look at Orlando and shook her head, "It's so old, and I just know about it." ”

Wang Yao nodded and didn't ask, "Then my second question is to follow the cultural relics protection work donated by the French Cultural Relics Association and various museums for so many years, no matter what the purpose." ”

Then the conversation changed: "But good intentions are good intentions, but sometimes bad things are done, and I hope everyone can recognize this." ”

There was a discussion from the audience.

"I would like to believe that the French Cultural Relics Association must have invested a lot of work in Chinese culture for so many years, but in my eyes, there is really no great effect, how many cultural relics are damaged, I have already written in the previous list, I will not repeat it, I am only for now, your national museum to raise objections to the restriction of cultural relics in the Red Mansion, you say that these cultural relics leave France, will not be reasonably protected, then I ask, are you really protected?" Wang Yao directly threw out the question.

Orlando slowly got up and looked at Wang Yao, "Mr. Wang Gu's professional level in Chinese cultural relics is also obvious to all, we admit that the Chinese culture is broad and profound, and the cultural relics are even more exquisite and extraordinary, we really can't fully take care of it in a short period of time, but I ask Mr. Wang Gu instead, can you or your team do it?"

Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does President Orlando mean, as long as we can do it, the cultural relics, the Chinese cultural relics stored in the Louvre will be returned immediately?"

Orlando frowned slightly: "Mr. Wang Gu, does you know how many Chinese collections there are in the Louvre?"

"There are 12,000 pieces of ceramic cultural relics in the Guimet Museum, more than 6,000 pieces of ceramic crafts in the Louvre, more than 200 calligraphy and paintings, more than 30,000 pieces of porcelain from Danfeng Bailu Palace, bells, incense burners, gold and silver handicrafts, and the French Library also has a number of national seals of the Old Summer Palace, of which there are two pieces of 'Baohe Taihe' and 'Old Summer Palace Seal' are first-class national treasures. Wang Yao replied calmly.

"Mr. Wang Gu has indeed done a lot of research. Orlando laughed.

"And that's just what I can look into. Wang Yao chuckled meaningfully.

"Most of the collections of the Louvre and Guimet are artefacts from the exchanges between the two countries, don't you also have a lot of handicrafts from our country?" Orlando smiled, "These are symbols of friendship between the two countries, aren't they." ”

Wang Yao shook his head, "Everyone knows what it is, and there is no need to say it so high-sounding." ”

Orlando's smile froze.

"Since I appealed, I didn't think about reconciliation. Wang Yao said in a deep voice: "Let's come one by one first." ”

Wang Yao took out a picture scroll from the package on the ground and unfolded it directly around.

"This?" Orlando glanced at him, his expression frozen.

"Isn't this our museum's Water Moon Kannon?" exclaimed the director of the Guimet Museum.

A large number of cultural relics stolen and sold from Dunhuang in the Guimet Museum collection, many of which are Buddha statues, this "Water Moon Guanyin" is a representative work, because this is a thousand years of painting scrolls, and it is a work of paper and color ink, in 1960, the Guimet Museum specially invited a cultural relics restoration expert to help restore it in the Dragon Kingdom, but later after the death of the expert, this painting has never been preserved.

"This is what I painted yesterday, and I painted it improvised after I saw it at the Musée Guimet the other day after it was in disrepair, with a lot of fading and exploding skin on the color and paper. Wang Yao said in a deep voice, "If such an important painting does not have the ability to be properly preserved, it should not be hung up for people to enjoy." ”

Curator Jimi coughed lightly and sat down awkwardly.

"Mr. Wang Gu's painting is very good. Orlando's expression remained the same.

"I'm not just good at drawing. Wang Yao chuckled lightly and spread out the package on the ground, and for a while the sound of jade hitting gold and silver resounded in the courtroom.

Everyone stood up in unison and looked at what was revealed after the package was opened, and they all gasped.

The package contained a large number of beautiful handicrafts, some of which were very familiar to them.

"It's the White Jade Tiger?"

"I think I've seen that bronze beast carving. ”

"It's the British Shang Shuangyang Zun. ”

"Johns, there are a couple of items from your Guimet Museum in there?"

The jury below exploded and discussed the cultural relics on the stage eagerly, even though they knew that these things that Wang Yao took out must be imitations.

Orlando's face finally changed, as he saw several items from the Louvre's collection.

Sevier stepped down from his seat, crouched on the floor and examined the replicas.

"Can you do it?" asked Wang Yao bluntly.

"Partially. Orlando coughed lightly, "Mr. Wang Gu really impressed me, this is what you and your team restored?"

"Then give us back the part that can't be recovered. Wang Yao chuckled, "I'll send you to be restored, how about it?"

"Mr. Wang may have misunderstood, the purpose of promoting cultural relics and culture is not to say that the better the cultural relics are protected, the more beneficial they are. Orlando smiled and said, "I admit that it is difficult for us to surpass in the reproduction of your country's cultural relics, because the culture is different, but this is also the importance of these cultural relics in our country, to promote the culture of your country, isn't it?"

"Do you know what this is?" Wang Yao picked up a jade carving from the ground.

"It's a jade carving. Orlando said.

"Let me ask you what it is!" Wang Yao suddenly let out a low snort, and the sudden burst actually made everyone's bodies tremble, Orlando couldn't push back, looking at Wang Yao in horror.

The low roar just now, when it came out from the ghost face on Wang Yao's face, there was also the movement of leaning forward slightly and the aftermath of the trembling robe on his body like a fierce tiger that hunted for food.

Especially the mask on his face, which is hideous at the moment.

The guards next to him all touched the pistol on their waists and looked nervously at Wang Gu, who seemed to be angry.

Sewell, who was closest to Wang Yao, was so frightened that he staggered to the ground, and looked up at Wang Yao with some panic, wondering how this young man, who was still gentle just now, suddenly showed such a fierce temperament.

"What is it?" Wang Yao held up the jade carving, and his tone was as cold as a piece of ice.

The corners of Orlando's mouth twitched.
