"Who says I can't buy it just by looking at it? This is definitely a rumor-mongering. ”

"I also bought a piece of a bronze sword just now, and it cost eighty-nine dollars. Don't believe me. ”

Zhang Yang made a gesture to take out his mobile phone and maintain his innocence.

"Okay, okay, I don't look at it, and you're not spending money on me."

The stall owner waved his hand, turned around, and moved the bamboo basket bronze fragment to Zhang Yang.

"Three hundred yuan a piece, you can't bargain."

Seeing so many fragments, many passing buyers were also attracted to come.

But before they could get started, they were stopped by a pair of white gloves.

"Don't break the rules, first come, first served, I'll watch you after I'm done." Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.

It's basically fakes here, and it's really positive for this group of people to be deceived.

"Then hurry up." A middle-aged man next to him muttered.

"Got it, got it."

Zhang Yang nodded and immediately began to identify.

Imitation, fake, modern, last year's ......

Even if it is an already cheap bronze fragment, it is still mostly fake.

The antiques market highlights one that as long as you are willing to buy, I am sure that there are fakes waiting for you.

When Zhang Yang was looking at them one by one, there were two uncles squatting next to him, staring at what was in his hand and watching with him.

While watching, he also pointed out the country.

"Can you see so quickly, young man?"

"You're too fast!"

"Those just now, they don't feel right."

"Huh! Don't lose this beast face pattern, this is a gluttonous pattern in the Shang and Zhou periods. ”

Gluttonous lines? Zhang Yangjian took a look at it, it is true, but the production date is 2019.

"Don't give it to me!" The uncle on the right said.

Zhang Yang didn't think about it, and handed him the thing.

Let go of the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others.

"Hey, thank you." The uncle is also very polite.

"You're welcome." Zhang Yang answered, turned around and continued to look at the contents of the basket.

Seeing that the uncle on the right had lost three hundred yuan, he walked away happily with a fragment of a bronze tripod with a gluttonous pattern, and the uncle on the left was a little nervous.

"You can't do this, the rust color is fake at first glance, hurry up and see the next one."

Next? Zhang Yang shook his head.

That's it!

"Name: Bronze Gui (gui three tones) fragment"

"Material: copper, tin, zinc"

"Date of production: 981 B.C.E."

"Details: Fragments of animal face patterns in the Western Zhou Dynasty, with mutilated inscriptions on them, have certain historical value"

Zhang Yang looked at the thing in his hand, it should be a fragment of the bronze mouth, according to the arc of the mouth, the whole utensil should be slightly larger than the bowl of instant noodles in the bucket.

It is a tableware used by ancient scholars to hold staple food, and if you look at it this way, it is a bit small.

"What's wrong? You don't think this thing is real, boy, do you? "The uncle on the left is still instructing.

"Look at this green embroidery, it's not even at all, it floats on the surface of things and things, and it's obviously a new imitation."

"Uncle, it's too much, I'm all an old thing, where did I get a new imitation?" The stall owner snorted unhappily.

The uncle ignored him and continued to say to Zhang Yang:

"Hurry up, young man, it's past five o'clock, and it's going to be dawn later."

"Okay!" Zhang Yang nodded: "Boss, I want this, help me wrap up things." ”

Seeing this, the stall owner pulled out a red plastic bag from under the horse and handed it to Zhang Yang.

"Give it, give it, put it yourself. Scan code or cash? ”

"Don't worry, it's not over yet!"

Zhang Yang continued to rummage, and after a while, he found another real thing.

"Bronze Fragment...... 981 BC? ”

"What a coincidence, the same year?"

Zhang Yang took out the piece just now and compared it together.

Except for the rust color, it can be said that there is no connection.

The fragment just now had a beast face pattern and a half-cut inscription on it, but this one was smooth on both sides, without any patterns.

"The one you're holding now looks like the real thing, like the belly of a bronze vessel......" The uncle began to comment sharply again.

Zhang Yang ignored him, put both pieces in the bag, and continued to look for them.

If there is anything from 981 BC, it is from the same tomb, if not the same bronzes.

Sure enough, at the bottom of the basket, he found a third fragment.

This time, the fragment is the handle part of the Gui, and the animal face pattern on it is a bit similar to the first one.

Zhang Yang already had a clear idea in his heart.

Now it's no longer a question of whether you can pick up the leak, it's possible to find a bronze gui with an inscription!

With the current cultural relics restoration technology, as long as all the fragments are found, they will definitely be completely restored.

"How many did you choose?" Seeing that Zhang Yang seemed stunned, the stall owner asked.

"Three pieces in total."

Zhang Yang didn't rush to ask about his whereabouts, but paid the money and brought the things to the two companions.

……

"Are you sure it's from the same bronze?"

Both Wang Jianye and Mr. Huang were skeptical of Mr. Zhang's claims.

The three real bronze fragments found here are nothing.

But the three pieces have the same origin, which is a bit unusual.

"I'm 80% sure that they come from the same bronze or the same tomb."

Zhang Yang gave a very solid opinion.

Mr. Huang took the fragment in his hand and looked at it over and over again for a while, shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I don't understand that."

"But if it really comes from the same artifact, it's likely that the tomb robbers accidentally smashed it and sold it directly to these vendors."

"I think so too." Zhang Yang nodded: "Now, unlike a few decades ago, no one should sell bronzes as scrap copper." ”

"If it was smashed decades ago, the probability of it being passed on to the same basket together is too small."

"The biggest possibility is that someone accidentally broke it and didn't dare to send it for repair."

"In this way, you go and keep an eye on the stall owner, and I will contact the cultural relics protection department here in Yangcheng." Teacher Huang said, "But I don't know if they sent someone over today." ”

"Usually, when the antique market opens, people from the museum will come and hang around to see if there are any national treasures left outside."

"Don't call the police?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

After dealing with the police in the live broadcast room, Master Zhang felt that it was still very reliable to hand over the matter to the cultural relics police.

"If you call the police, I'm afraid I'll ......" Teacher Huang looked at the flow of people behind Zhang Yang: "This place is estimated to be gone in the future." ”

"Two years ago, the things that came out of the tomb were also sold here, and the things were seen by the old experts who came here, and they were bought for 5,000 yuan, and now they are stored in the Yangcheng Museum, and they have been on the list of [forbidden to exhibit cultural relics abroad]."

What Mr. Huang means is that this small courtyard is a gray area, and the things of tomb robbers are sold here, at least there are traces to follow.

Zhang Yang didn't agree with this point of view, but Mr. Huang's words reminded him.

In the past, there were museum experts here, and there was not a museum director by my side?

Zhang Yang turned around and looked at Wang Jianye with a smile on his face.

Director Wang suddenly shuddered.
