Chapter 25: Gaining Insight
After some observation, Lu Feiming determined that this thing should be newly unearthed not long ago, he went to an archaeological research institute for an internship in his senior year, and he still has some understanding of the unearthed cultural relics.
There is an essential difference between the unearthed cultural relics and the cultural relics handed down, and the newly unearthed ones are different from those that have been unearthed for many years, and the time for which the two have been exposed to the air is different, so the oxidation of the appearance caused by it is also different.
What's more, there are some fine and imperceptible soil particles visible on the surface of the patina on the surface of this artifact. Therefore, Lu Feiming judged that this bronze round tripod was definitely a newly unearthed cultural relic.
Whether in terms of volume, shape and decoration technology, this is a cultural relic that can be called a national treasure. I had seen it in museums before, but I didn't expect to see it in Liang Hu's home.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Feiming stabilized his emotions, then sat down and looked at Liang Hu on the side and asked:
"Brother Liang, where did you get this thing?"
Liang Hu waved his hand and said:
"Don't ask about this, Brother Lu, I'll ask you, is this thing real or fake?"
"It's true, and it's of a very high grade. I can't get enough to shoot. Lu Feiming nodded, answered in a flat tone as much as possible, and peeked at Liang Hu from time to time.
"Good guy, I guessed that Nai Nai's dare to play this game in Lao Tzu's territory." Liang Hu slapped his thigh fiercely and said viciously.
Lu Feiming was taken aback, and he didn't know why Liang Hu was angry. Before he could ask, he heard Liang Hu explain:
"Brother Lu, tell me what you can see, don't look at me as managing the old temple market, but I really don't know much about these things."
Lu Feiming nodded and explained to Liang Hu one by one, and the next words of Liang Hu gave Lu Feiming a further understanding of this person.
"Hmph, I know that Ma Laoqi's guy is not a good thing. Brother Lu, I won't tell you. This thing wasn't given to me by someone else, but I stumbled upon it yesterday.
So I quietly got it back, and I wanted to find someone to help me see if it was real or fake. Hehe, you dare to sell stolen cultural relics on my land, this is fucking ready to harm Lao Tzu!
Okay, I thank you for today's incident, brother, but I hope you don't say it to the outside world, just don't know what to do. I'll take care of it myself. ”
Lu Feiming agreed, he didn't want to get into trouble. But I still couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Liang, what are you going to do, call the police?"
"Of course, things belong to the state, and they must be handed over. But people, Lao Tzu will personally clean up, otherwise in the future, any ghosts, snakes, and gods will dare to mess around on Lao Tzu's territory. Where is my face still going? ”
Knowing the authenticity of the thing, Liang Hu didn't leave Lu Feiming much, and after a few gossips, Liang Hu sent Lu Feiming away. As for the follow-up, Lu Feiming didn't care about it, and he didn't want to know.
He can be regarded as repaying the other party's favor, and Lu Feiming left the old temple and went home directly.
The next morning, Lu Feiming still habitually went to the store to see the decoration first, and then went out to collect goods after learning about the progress.
was walking when he received a call from Shi Shuqing.
"Xiao Lu, where are you, are you busy?"
"Oh, Master. I'm on my way, nothing happens. What's wrong with you? ”
"If it's okay, you come to me now, and then I'll take you somewhere to open your eyes." Shi Shuqing said with some excitement.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
Hanging up the phone, Lu Feiming took a taxi and went straight to Shi Shuqing's Tianyi Pavilion. When I arrived, I found that Shi Shuqing was already waiting at the door.
got into Shi Shuqing's car, and as soon as it started, I heard Shi Shuqing say with a smile:
"Xiao Lu, let me tell you, you will definitely be able to open your eyes today. Last night, the police station of the government put an end to a gang that was stealing and excavating cultural relics, and confiscated many stolen cultural relics.
Now everything is in the city museum, and your master and I are a special researcher there, so let me help to do the identification, it is said that there are a lot of bronzes and jades, as well as other cultural relics. ”
When Lu Feiming heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and recalled in his mind that Liang Hu asked him to help with the appraisal yesterday, could it be those people?
Seeing that Lu Feiming who was sitting next to him was a little stunned, Shi Shuqing asked curiously: "What's wrong, Xiao Lu?" ”
Lu Feiming shook his head and replied, "It's nothing, teacher." I just remembered something. By the way, teacher, you said it was just seized last night. Have the criminals caught stealing cultural relics? And where did you check the cultural relics? ”
"This..."Shi Shuqing paused slightly.
"I really don't know, but according to people at the museum, it seems that the police took action after someone reported it, and when they arrived at the scene, they only arrested a few less important criminals.
However, there are a lot of things confiscated, and according to the confession, most of the stolen cultural relics are in the dens, and they have not had time to sell the stolen goods. This is also a blessing, otherwise the country and the nation do not know how much of the precious cultural heritage left by their ancestors will be lost. ”
Shi Shuqing said with some emotion, and then couldn't help but scold those criminals who stole cultural relics. But Lu Feiming's mind was a little trance-like.
In his opinion, most of them are the police reported by Liang Hu, and as for the main criminals of the criminal gang, hehe, nine times out of ten they were also arrested by Liang Hu.
However, what Lu Feiming couldn't understand the most was where Liang Hu got so much energy, why didn't he report it all to the police directly. To put it bluntly, if he deals with those criminals privately, he is actually breaking the law.
Not long after, the car arrived at the museum, and Shi Shuqing took Lu Feiming all the way to a conference room, where many people had gathered at this time, and the large conference table was full of various confiscated cultural relics.
One of the most dazzling pieces is the bronze round tripod of the early Western Zhou Dynasty that Lu Feiming saw yesterday.
"Old Shi is here! Come and take a look, there are a lot of good things, especially this bronze tripod, which several of us have always thought can at least be designated as a national first-class cultural relic. A white-haired old man greeted Shi Shuqing warmly.
Shi Shuqing was also extremely excited, and after greeting the other party, he immediately shifted his attention to the jade objects placed on the conference table.
"You're Xiao Lu, Lu Feiming, right? The old history is a new closed disciple. The old man came over and greeted Lu Feiming again.
Lu Feiming hurriedly replied modestly:
"Yes, I'm Lu Feiming, and I haven't asked you for your old surname."
"Oh, my surname is Huang, Huang Guangyuan. The deputy director of the Municipal Museum is also a friend of Lao Shi for many years. A few days ago, I chatted with Lao Shi and heard that he had accepted such a young and promising apprentice as you.
Today, when I saw it, it was really extraordinary, I have also heard about your deeds at the appraisal conference, I don't know where you are now, Xiao Lu? ”
