Chapter 636: Awa Maru

In muttering to himself, Fei Lao slowly lay on his side on the bed again, closed his eyes and pondered, and finally fell asleep.

Before noon, Tang Yi woke up, and saw that Lin Huanting was still sleeping, so he didn't wake him up, washed his face, walked out of the room, and came to the villa.

Under the eggplant tree, Tang Yi lit a cigarette.

"I thought only the old man couldn't sleep much, but I didn't expect you to be able to sleep." Wang Zhennan's voice came from behind him.

Tang Yi immediately turned around and smiled slightly.

"Still worried about the killer?" Wang Zhennan also ordered a red river.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided." Tang Yi replied, "Actually, I'm even more worried about whether to transfer this gilded Green Tara to Fei Lao." ”

"You and Fei Lao just met in Pingshui, and they are antique collectors, so you don't want to cut your love, and you open your mouth to refuse, that's also human nature." Wang Zhennan exhaled a puff of smoke.

"It's just that Fei Lao has a deep Buddha fate, and he has his father's last wishes, and it seems that it is more suitable for him." Tang Yi sighed lightly.

"Then transfer it to him. Just like you persuaded me, getting this Buddha statue may only be a temporary joy, but when I see things and think about people, when I see the Buddha statue, I think that there is someone who is holding hatred, and this kind of torment is not pleasant! Wang Zhennan paced two steps.

Tang Yi's eyes lit up, "Old man, it seems that he is really a fan of the authorities!" ”

"Moreover, if you transfer it to him, you can still make a profit, and it is not for nothing." Wang Zhennan continued.

Tang Yi nodded, "If you are willing to give up, you will be willing to give up, and what you will get is not money, but peace of mind." ”

Seeing that Tang Yi seemed to have passed, Wang Zhennan took a deep puff of cigarette, "Actually, I was woken up by a phone call." ”

"Oh?"

"After I came back, I immediately asked someone to inquire about the origin of this August osmanthus cup, but I didn't expect to have news so soon." Wang Zhennan looked at Tang Yi, "This August Osmanthus Cup was bought from a fisherman on the southeast coast of China thirty years ago, and it is said that this fisherman was salvaged when he went to sea. ”

"Could it be that after getting this August Osmanthus Cup, this person found a master to copy the other eleven cups and made a set?" Tang Yi responded.

"That's how it should be. But since it's fishermen's salvage, it must not be the only one, I wonder if there are some ancient shipwrecks nearby? ”

"Where on the southeast coast?" Tang Yi immediately asked.

"It's a neighborhood called Niushan Island, about the east side of the sea."

"Niushan Island?" Tang Yi immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt, "Mr. Wang, this location is likely to be the place where a treasure ship of the Wa Kingdom sank back then!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Zhennan was taken aback, "Treasure ship? ”

Tang Yi said slowly, "I am studying history, and collecting all kinds of historical materials is a compulsory course for us, and I am particularly sensitive to time and place. According to the historical data I know, during World War II, the Emperor of the Wa Kingdom was obsessed with the Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup, and in today's words, he is a big fan! The Tokyo Historical Museum of Wakoku has been collecting antiques and artifacts from China, and during World War II, it also collected the Twelve Flower God Cups for the Emperor. ”

"It is said that not only did they have one set, but they also had a number of individual cups, which were hidden in different supply bases. After the defeat of the Japanese Kingdom, the troops withdrew from China in a hurry, and many antiques were destroyed on the spot because they could not be brought out, and some were buried and hidden. However, a batch was still shipped out of the country. ”

"There was a ship called the Awa Maru, and some people had been speculating that it was a treasure ship at the time, but it was a chaotic situation at the time, and it was impossible to verify it in detail. According to the historical information I know, at least there were a lot of gold, silver, rice, and other supplies on board. It is said that there are a large number of antiques on the Awa Maru, not only the Twelve Flower God Cup, but also the Yuan blue and white, bronze tripods, and a number of precious jade. ”

"The Awa Maru did not return to the Wa Kingdom smoothly at all, and when the ship sailed to the waters east of Niushan Island on the southeast coast of China, it encountered the old American warship Queenfish, which was hit by a number of torpedoes and sank to the bottom of the sea in a few minutes, and only one of the more than 2,000 Wa people on board survived. But the surviving Japanese people were silent about the truth of what happened that day. ”

"Awa Maru?" Wang Zhennan knocked his head, "I seem to have an impression of this ship, haven't I been salvaging it?" ”

"That's right, nearly forty years ago, the Huaxia side began salvage work against the Awa Maru. However, this sea is not only very deep, but also has high wind and wave speeds. After a long period of hard work, the salvage was basically completed, but there were still many rumors that had not been found at that time, and the deep salvage has continued, but this is somewhat confidential, so everyone has very little information. ”

"And, according to your news, I analyzed and sorted it out again, this August osmanthus cup does not have a bottom, think about it carefully, it is not like one of the whole set of cups, it is likely to be made separately at that time, maybe it was specially designed for Emperor Kangxi's private enjoyment! Otherwise, a cup without a bottom will not be taken away when the emperor evacuates in a hurry. ”

"So, even if you shoot this August Osmanthus Cup for $2.1 million alone, it won't be a loss?" The wisp of concern in Wang Zhennan's heart became strong again, and he asked without waiting for Tang Yi to finish speaking.

"I'm just guessing. However, if it is true, then this thing is too big and too wide! Tang Yi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "The Awa Maru shipwreck has been the focus of Huaxia for decades, if it is really something in the shipwreck, the stakes are self-evident." When you get it, don't you think it's a hot potato? ”

Wang Zhennan pondered, and nodded after a moment, "In this way, it's really true, it's not necessarily a good thing." It's still what you said, Seon lost his horse, and he didn't know if it was a blessing. ”

"I can't hide it, I still have to report this matter to the relevant departments, don't mind Mr. Wang." The stakes are very high, and Tang Yi wants to pass on a clue to the collection office and the bureau of cultural investigation.

"It doesn't matter, who ends up with this August Osmanthus Cup, it's not something I can control." Wang Zhennan waved his hand.

"A senior once told me that a line of antiques, one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtue and five reading, no matter how good you are full of economy and outstanding eyesight, you may not be able to have a treasure fate." Tang Yi let out a long breath, "Old man, I put down this gilt green Tara, and you should also put down that August osmanthus cup." ”

Wang Zhennan suddenly laughed, "Yes." Let's go, it's time for lunch. ”

At this time, everyone else got up and had lunch together.

After the meal, Tang Yi and Zheng Wu prepared to study the selected wool number. After choosing so much, there must be a sequence, and the situation will be full of changes at that time, and the selected ones may not necessarily be able to be clapped.

The blue-eyed and purple eyes of the white salt sand skin are naturally the top priority, and the large bayberry sand skin is simply a cornucopia, and of course it is also the point.

Just as the two were discussing, Tang Yi's mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was an unfamiliar number.
