Chapter 293: Autumn Evening in the Mountain House
The surveillance screenshot sent by Wu Qingyuan is the beginning of the harvest, and this screenshot has already shown that there must be a connection between this Gu Feng and the Lin family's Dazhai.
One can guess so.
It is not impossible that the bronze imitation was transferred to Los Angeles through Gu Feng's hands.
Then.
Expert Peng looked at Zhang Yi again and asked.
"Xiao Yi, what are you going to do?"
"Destroy the Lin family's village, find evidence, and clear my father's grievances!"
Zhang Yi said.
In a word, it is easy to say, but Expert Peng understands that this matter is very difficult to do.
Lin Family Dazhai is not an ordinary village.
Otherwise.
It can't be there forever, either.
And today, that doesn't happen.
However, Expert Peng also knew that when Zhang Yi said those words to Lin Changqing in the Northern Taoyuan Villa, Zhang Yi's plan had already begun.
And this plan, once started, cannot be stopped.
Then.
Zhang Yi spoke.
"Uncle Peng, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Just say that since you have such thoughts, whether it is for your father or for you, I, Peng Yiming, will definitely do my best to help you!"
Peng expert said.
There are many rumors about the Lin family's Dazhai.
Antique counterfeiting, dark hell, all kinds of theories.
In short, that place should not exist, and it is not just Zhang Yi's family that Expert Peng wants to help.
Antique collection.
This is a way of cultivating life.
It's also an investment.
It is necessary to be rational in investment, and some people, overconfident, gamble all their net worth in order to fight. But because of the eye, the family went bankrupt.
Such examples abound.
If it is a place like the Lin family's Dazhai, it can disappear. Perhaps, the collection of antiques can also return to his essence.
The essence of antique collecting is not investment, but appreciation.
Because.
An antique is a blend of culture, art, and history.
"Uncle Peng, you should have a way, help me investigate, in the past half a month, all the auctions in the Beicheng area, the specific time, and the situation of the antiques on the auction!"
"That's easy to say."
Expert Peng agreed, and seemed to think of something, he said again.
"Xiao Yi, when you mentioned the auction, I remembered that there will be an auction tomorrow. Moreover, it is the autumn auction of Maple Leaf held by Maple Leaf Auction House, an auction house under Longfeng Culture Company. ”
"I'll go back tomorrow to be a guest expert for the Maple Leaf Autumn Auction, and wait a minute, you come with me to the Northern Taoyuan Villa, and I have the auction catalogue of tomorrow's Maple Leaf Autumn Auction."
Zhang Yi nodded, and he asked.
"Is this Longfeng culture a family business?"
"This company is not a family business, it is a general listed company, but it has cooperated with a foreign company to hold a maple leaf autumn auction. Although the scale is not large, it is a global joint production. In the foreign company, there is a simultaneous video auction live broadcast, and many foreign collectors bid by telephone or commissioned bidding. ”
"Okay, let's start with the Maple Leaf Autumn Auction!"
Zhang Yi said.
Expert Peng nodded, as if he understood what Zhang Yi meant.
Subsequently.
Zhang Yi went to the ward and explained to Uncle Greasy and Cheng Hu.
He and Expert Peng went to the Taoyuan Mountain Villa in the north again.
After arriving.
Expert Peng first found the "Maple Leaf Autumn Auction" auction catalogue for Zhang Yi.
A very thick booklet, the binding is very high-end, and there are hundreds of lots on the auction.
And then.
Peng expert called.
began to use his network resources to investigate the auction in the North City area within a month or so.
Zhang Yi's side.
Finding a pen, he flipped through the auction catalogue and marked a few of them. There are five lots in total, basically, all of them are in the tens of millions level.
In addition to these five lots.
There is one lot in it.
It's a word.
When Zhang Yi looked through the auction catalogue, he immediately stopped when he saw this word.
I don't know why, he looked at this painting with an inexplicable sense of familiarity. And this painting, there is very little introduction, and it seems to be an anonymous word.
So.
On the auction catalogue, the estimate is low.
Between 20,000 and 50,000.
Subsequently.
When he came back to his senses, Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, feeling very strange.
Why do you feel familiar with an anonymous word?
Where does this familiarity come from?
"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. The bamboo noise returns to the Huannu, and the lotus moves the fishing boat. ”
It was written by the great poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty "Autumn Evening in the Mountain House", but there was only half a poem, which was very strange, removing the first and fourth sentences, but leaving the middle two sentences.
There is no inscription at the back, let alone the title of the poem.
There is also no seal red stamp.
With the experience of Tang Yin's stone forest summer map last time, Zhang Yi also tried to turn the auction catalogue upside down, but he didn't see anything special.
It's not a painting, and there's nothing dark about it.
And then.
Zhang Yi went to Expert Peng and asked.
"Uncle Peng, have you ever seen the authentic handwriting of this painting?"
Specialist Peng was a guest expert at the auction, so naturally he also had to participate in the appraisal of antiques, so it is likely that he had already seen this painting.
Glancing at it, Expert Peng said.
"I've seen this one."
"On the auction catalogue, this picture is too small, because it is an anonymous word, so it is not the focus of the auction publicity. However, it can be seen from the original handwriting that this painting is very skillful. Moreover, what is incomprehensible is that there are four words in Wang Wei's poem that are different from other words. ”
"Ming, Qing, bamboo, lotus, these four words, use heavy ink. The other words are all line books, and Ming and Zhu are official books, and Qing and Lotus are regular scripts, you take a closer look, isn't it? ”
Peng expert reminded.
Saying this, Zhang Yi took a closer look, and it was true. The picture just now was too small, and Zhang Yi really didn't pay much attention to the font of these brush words, and carefully identified it, it was indeed as Expert Peng said.
At that time, Peng expert also participated in the identification, and this character should have been written by a calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty.
It is impossible to verify who it is.
However, there is no problem with this character, and it is indeed a genuine work of the Qing Dynasty.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong, is there a problem with this painting?"
Expert Peng asked.
Zhang Yi shook his head.
"There's nothing wrong with this one, I just wonder why I have to remove the beginning and end of a poem when I write a poem."
Expert Peng didn't know either, he shook it.
And when Zhang Yi saw that character just now, the feeling was really inexplicable.
It's like, among strangers, you suddenly see a person, you don't know him, but you feel like you've seen this person somewhere.
A sense of déjà vu.
And then.
Zhang Yi asked again.
"Uncle Peng, can you take me to meet the boss of Longfeng Culture now?"
Expert Peng was very puzzled, he asked.
"Now?"
