Chapter 1172: The Third Strange Painting and Notes on Tomb Robbery
This kind of thing is indeed a very precious antique, but it is a cultural relic and does not have market transaction value.
How did the power of treasure hunt find it?
"Xiao Yi, if this thing can be dug up, isn't it quite valuable?"
Song Li knew that antiques were very valuable.
After Zhang Yi came, the antique trading scene he saw really made him a little greedy.
"You dare to dig, but no one dares to ask for it! In the end, you still have to hand it in, if you dig it, you will have to be sentenced to prison for many years, no one knows to do this kind of loss-making business, murals are too sensitive in the market! ”
"Oh...... That's right......"
Song Li seemed a little lost.
Zhang Yi stretched out his hand, knocked on the mural over there, put his hand on it, and subconsciously went to identify it.
The result was a bit of a surprise to him.
This mural is not an antique, but an antique mural.
If you tap your finger on it, you can tell by listening to the sound that it is hollow inside. The antique mural, the back is hollow, could it be that this is the place where the Li family used to store something?
"Xiao Yi, look, this brick seems to be moving!"
Song Li was pondering a brick next to the mural, and if he didn't look carefully, he really couldn't see it. There was no plaster caulking around the brick.
Zhang Yi went over, pressed hard, pinched the edge of the brick with two fingers, and pulled out.
The whole brick was pulled out.
There was a steel wire inside, which was brought out along with the bricks.
When Song Li saw this, he immediately pulled it, and a crack appeared in the middle of the mural, and then, that piece was dented little by little.
A hole about a foot square appears in the place where the original mural was located.
Zhang Yi took his mobile phone and took a light.
He saw a scroll sealed with wax.
It looks like it should be an ancient painting.
Other than that, there is nothing left inside this secret door.
Meantime.
The voice in Zhang Yi's head followed.
"The treasure of the neighborhood has been found!"
"Excuse me, is it an appraisal?"
Zhang Yi did not hesitate, he was already curious about what kind of painting this was.
The wax seal is very good, and it is not suitable to be opened immediately, it is best to hand it over to a professional like Uncle Chen to open it at that time, otherwise, it may cause damage to the painting.
"Identification!"
Zhang Yi secretly said two words in his heart.
"This calligraphy work, made in the late Ming Dynasty, from the late Ming Dynasty painter Zhuang Zhengxian, the content of the poem Saint Du Fu's "Ascending", with white drawing, the artistic conception is fully revealed!"
In addition, there are three paintings in total, which contains a big mystery, and the three paintings are combined to know the mystery. The other two paintings are "Autumn Dusk in a Mountain House" and "Silent Night". ”
The appearance of this painting surprised Zhang Yi.
The previous two very strange paintings, Zhang Yi has not been able to identify, those two paintings are the mountain dwelling autumn twilight picture and the silent night picture, now, perhaps it is the improvement of the identification ability, when Zhang Yi found the "Ascending Map", he has been able to identify this magic work, and the results of the identification also give the mystery of these three paintings.
Only when the three paintings are combined can the mystery be known.
The other two paintings are now in the Zhangjia villa in Los Angeles, and when they return to Los Angeles, the mystery of these three paintings will be revealed.
Song Li was also very excited when he saw this painting.
"Xiao Yi, this thing must be an antique, right? I see, this thing is always worth a lot, right? ”
"It's okay, ancient paintings of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Yi replied and did not hide it.
Song Li continued to search in the secret door, but he didn't find anything, and he seemed to be a little depressed. However, Zhang Yi said directly to Song Li.
"Uncle, bring your phone!"
Song Li didn't understand what Zhang Yi meant, but he still did it.
Zhang Yi got Song Li's mobile phone and directly transferred 100,000 yuan to him, and when he saw the reminder of the collection information, Song Li was stunned.
"Xiao Yi, what are you giving me money for?"
Song Li was very surprised.
"Uncle, this painting was discovered by the two of us together, I estimate that its market value is about 200,000, and half of the two of us!"
Zhang Yi replied directly.
"Oh, Xiao Yi, no, I'm not short of money, besides, I encountered that incident just now, if you hadn't saved me, everyone in our village would have come to our house for dinner tomorrow!" Hurry up, turn back! ”
Zhang Yi said to Song Li.
"Uncle, if you don't accept it, even if you buy something for your grandmother!"
"Over the years, your parents have given me enough money, enough to spend, you don't see, I raised your grandmother all over the body, who in the village doesn't envy your grandmother for giving a good girl...... Hey hey ......"
Although Song Li is not doing it properly, he is a principled person, and he refuses to accept this money no matter what.
After leaving the Li family's old house.
Zhang Yi and Song Li returned to their grandmother's house.
Uncle Chen's side also called and said that everything was going well on his side.
The imitation carved lacquer porcelain bottle has been received, and with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, the price has been reduced by half, and more than 5 million have been sold.
Uncle Chen bought that vase, not to make money, but to collect and make ornaments by himself.
Next.
Zhang Yi when they were ready to leave.
Chen Gouyu, who sold antiques before, actually went to Zhang Yi's grandmother's house again, saying that he still had something in his hand, I don't know if Zhang Yi wants it?
Zhang Yi asked him, what is it.
He took out a newspaper and wrapped it tightly.
Chen Gouyu said with a snicker.
"Boss Zhang, after you and Xiaoli left yesterday, I went to the Li family's old mansion again and touched it, and the one I found in that hole, you see, is it worth it? It seems like an old book! ”
Old books should belong to the category of ancient books, which are old enough and are also antiques.
Zhang Yi took the book wrapped in newspaper from Chen Gouyu's hand.
Open carefully.
He found that the book was still very delicate, very old, and the leather was made of that kind of cowhide, and it was very tightly wrapped, and the edges were hairy.
After opening the cowhide package, Zhang Yi realized that this was actually a notebook.
The events recorded above were twenty or thirty years ago.
There are even those written in recent years. Moreover, there are also records about the tomb in this village, which is the tomb of the prince in the late Ming Dynasty.
For other specific content, Zhang Yi has no time to read it for the time being.
But.
It is certain that this notebook is the note of a certain person in the Li family.
And this Li family should be a tomb robbing family that has existed since decades ago.
And.
It is very likely that this Li family is still a very large family.
Xia Qianxun's matter is likely to have some connection with this tomb robbing family!
This notebook is another clue for Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi said to Chen Gouyu.
"Uncle Chen, this is not an antique, but for me, it has some value. 5,000 yuan received, do you think it's okay? ”
"Yes, yes!"
Chen Gouyu nodded again and again, smiling from ear to ear.
He originally thought that it was worth a few hundred dollars at most.
Zhang Yi stayed in the countryside for one night and prepared to go to Los Angeles.
The secrets in that ancient painting are also very important, and the sooner they are unraveled, the better.
Zhang Guoshan and He Cui stayed in the countryside for the time being to accompany the old man.
After all, there were few opportunities to come back before. Zhang Yi's side, when he arrived in the county seat, met with Uncle Chen, and the two returned to Los Angeles together.
Return to Zhang's villa.
Zhang Yi couldn't wait to go to the backyard and took out the other two ancient paintings.
Uncle Chen was busy.
Carefully open the seal of the third ancient painting.
