Chapter 956 - Sending a banner
"Oh?" Zeng Shiyin also lit a cigarette, "Do you think that the antique dealer surnamed Bai can't have children?" ”
This is indeed a suspicious point, if he can enter the palace, it is likely to be a free body, and if he has a wife and children, why didn't Li Hongzhang just hold it at that time? Even if you take into account that others are favored by Cixi in the palace, at least house arrest should be no problem.
"That's not it, this kind of thing can't be pushed, it's possible to raise it in a remote hometown, quietly and privately, and the possibilities are too complicated. I mean, why didn't he explain what it was in the letter? Even a hint is fine, such as a vague 'jade seal' or something. Tang Yi said, "Of course, the letter and the things must come separately, it is impossible for Luo Zan to take the things and send the letter, but the things are given to Luo Zan , but this letter is so vague!" ”
Zeng Shiyin thought for a while, "He's here to save his family!" ”
"You mean, if Rozan returns home and turns it in, then future generations will naturally know what it is. If he didn't turn it in, he didn't want his family to get involved in the entanglement, just left a certificate, in case there was any negative news about his loss of national treasures in the future, so as to prove that it was not lost in his hands? ”
Zeng Shiyin nodded.
"This is a solid assumption. If this is the case, this matter has not been stabbed, then Bai Lao may not know what the important treasure of this country is. ”
Zeng Shiyin rubbed his temples, "I'd better report this matter to the higher authorities quickly, and inform Director Jiang at the same time." ”
"Okay, I'm leaving, don't forget to tell me if there's news." Tang Yi got up and said goodbye.
Clues always emerge little by little, but they are still confusing. Tang Yi's head is also a little big, to be honest, if it weren't for the suspicion that it was related to the jade seal of the clan and the Xuanhuang magic lamp, he would not want to stir up this muddy water at all.
The jade seal of the Heshi Bi Inheritance Country sounds very tempting, but this thing, not to mention that the probability of getting it is too low, even if it is obtained, can the individual keep it? Even if Tang Yi wants to use this to verify the Xuanhuang Magic Lamp, I'm afraid he will have to collect the support of the office.
After Tang Yi left, he immediately contacted Wen Jia and Liao Moer. The return of more than 80 pieces of Ling Guan cannot be delayed any longer.
Wen Jia went to Lao Guan's house one step ahead of time and explained to him the relationship. Lao Guan didn't hesitate at all, "I must buy it back first!" ”
Liao Moer didn't show up, and Lao A went to see Lao Guan with sunglasses and a small suitcase.
Lao Guan was not stupid, and did not meet Lao A at home, but arranged a private room in a teahouse.
The payment was cleared, and Lao A only said, "Everyone, go first." And he departed.
Lao Guan had to pull Tang Yi and Wen Jia to drink tea.
Lao Guan was so happy, not only did he get back a batch of Lingguan first, but according to Tang Yi, although Hong Bo is dead, there is still the boss behind the scenes, and the batch of Lingguan has been recovered, and he only needs to check the evidence before it may be returned to him, and the rest is just a matter of time.
Of course, Tang Yi will not say who the boss behind the scenes is.
Things have come to this point, and it is already thankful that so much can be recovered, as for the others that have been sold, it can only be left to fate, and the police can recover as much as they want, and if they can't recover it, they can only accept their fate.
Lao Guan seemed to be prepared, and opened the leather bag he brought, "I know that Master Wen is not short of money, and when I get that batch of top-quality Lingguan, I will definitely choose two pieces and give them to the two." But for now, I have to express my gratitude! ”
As he spoke, Lao Guan took out a long box from his purse.
Wen Jia immediately waved his hand and said, "Lao Guan, who do you think of me?" I'll tell you the truth, you gave me the pipe in the end, and I can accept it, because it's related, and I really like it. But you're not going to be interesting now. ”
Lao Guan looked at Tang Yi, "Mr. Tang, let's take a look at something first, right?" We all like antiques, so let's discuss it first! ”
Tang Yi smiled, "I want to take a look, but when the time comes, it's up to Master Wen to decide whether or not to do it!" ”
Lao Guan also smiled, "Okay, I brought it anyway." ”
Look at this long box, it is not big, it should be a small banner. When I opened it, it was exactly what happened.
There are only two words written vertically on this blessing: selflessness. It looks like a regular script, and it looks like a regular script, the whole square is round, and the pen seems to be a little straight, but with a hint of aura.
The inscription is: Wu Wuchun, Tiger Zen Master. There is a vermilion seal underneath: Yang Du. There is also a round medallion on the upper right side of the banner, which is the word "Zen".
Wen Jia looked at Tang Yi, "Tiger Zen Master? Yang Du? ”
Lao Guan didn't speak. Tang Yi knew that since he brought it, he must have known that this was a genuine product, so he would not sell it in front of Wen Jia, "That's right, Tiger Zen Master Yang Du, a unique figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, a controversial figure." His calligraphy is not cheap in the market today. ”
Yang Du is indeed more complicated, he studied under the "Xiangqi Old Man" Wang Minyun, and Qi Baishi was a classmate, and together with Liang Qichao, he played for the constitutional monarchy, and also advocated for Yuan Shikai to be the emperor, and later served as Du Yuesheng's master, but in his later years, he pursued progress in the White Terror.
His teacher, Wang Minyun, was himself a famous calligrapher of the late Qing Dynasty. Yang Du has a profound education, and his calligraphy achievements are not low.
Moreover, because of his own experience and fame, his calligraphy works are increasing year by year in the market. Three years ago, at an auction, Yang Du's "Lishu Four Words Couplet" was sold for more than 6 million.
"Yang Du, I know that I have seen it in movies and television, but this Tiger Zen Master, this is the first time I have heard it." Wen Jia looked at Tang Yi again.
"Tiger Zen Master, Tiger Head Tuo, are all numbers used by Yang Du." Tang Yi explained, "After Yuan Shikai's death, he became disheartened and began to study Buddhism. This Wuwu should be 1918, and the time can be reversed. ”
Yang Du once served for Yuan Shikai and advocated the establishment of a monarch first and then a constitution, but as soon as the Hongxian monarchy came out, the whole country was scolded. It is said that when Yuan Shikai died, he shouted: Yang Du misunderstood me! And the people in Yang Du's hometown also scolded him as a traitor, and his friend Liang Qichao was even more ruthless, saying that he was: a lowly and shameless wriggling woman.
After that, Yang Du actually ran to the concessions of Jinmen and other places and escaped into the empty gate. It's kind of a rethinking of life. At this stage, he used the name of Hu Zen Master to write a lot of things about Buddhism, including articles and calligraphy works.
Moreover, he proposed selflessness, which is the basic spirit of Zen.
"This is an old family heirloom, and it was not uncommon for Yang Du to write a lot of calligraphy on Buddhist dialects at that time. Now, such a work of the Republic of China is a bit weighty, so if it is given to Master Wen, it can be regarded as a shot. Lao Guan added a sentence after Tang Yi finished explaining.
Without waiting for Wen Jia to speak, Lao Guan rolled up the banner and prepared to pack it, but at this time, because of the lighting and angle, Tang Yi found that there seemed to be an imprint on the back of the banner.
