"Is there a label like that?" The flamboyant tone gradually became excited.

If the artifacts on display are stolen, then the fun will be great.

"No, just give me two pieces and let me pick one."

"But I think if I'm a little more cheerful and buy both of them, the other party will show me more of the goods he has."

Chen Yanguang's thinking is indeed different from that of ordinary people, Zhang Yang is still analyzing whether things are true or false, and the other party is already thinking about what will happen after buying the first batch.

The degree of this leap in thinking is worthy of being a natural leek.

"If the price is right, you can pay a deposit to see the real thing. This label seems to be real at the moment. Zhang Yang sensible suggested.

The genuine Yongle blue and white moon bottle is worth millions of dollars, no problem, it's better to be stable.

In case the leeks were cut by foreigners with Chinese cultural relics, Zhang Yang was afraid that Chen Yanguang would not be able to hold back.

"Okay, then you can wait for me for a maximum of thirty seconds."

Chen Yanguang made an OK gesture to the camera.

"Is it that efficient?" Zhang Yang looked at each other in surprise.

Isn't it early in the morning at half past two in the afternoon on the seafront, and in London?

Getting up so early to trade PY is too dedicated to the antiquities dealers.

But that seems to be the case.

At the other end of the video, Chen Yanguang raised his eyebrows, turned his head and said two words to the people around him who did not appear on camera:

"Hit the money."

Only then did Zhang Yang see that they seemed to be in a very modern conference room.

Much like the environment of a seaside auction house.

In the video, a foreigner said in authentic London accent English:

"You're so arrogant, Mr. Chen."

[I'll go!] Live streaming of cultural relics trading? 】

[It's too fierce, ask for reinforcements while talking about business]

[It is estimated that foreigners still think that the leek emperor is contacting the consultant at home]

[The timing of this transaction is very much in line with my imagination of criminals]

"Let's take a look at this piece of porcelain first."

After the foreigner finished speaking, there was a sound of unzipping the suitcase, and at the same time, Chen Yanguang manipulated the camera to flip, and the perspective of the video changed to a round table.

Here comes the real thing.

Zhang Yang put his face close to the screen, and looked at the Ruyi moon bottle in the video, which is known as Ming Yongle blue and white, without blinking.

The moon bottle, also known as the Baoyue bottle, is named because the bottle body is like a full moon.

The word Ruyi in the name refers to the shape of Ruyi on both sides of the bottle.

The bottle is painted with a fruitful lychee tree, a typical "folded branch fruit pattern".

"Name: Ruyi Moon Bottle"

"Material: kaolin, Su Ma Li green material"

"Production time: 1420"

"Details: The blue and white porcelain produced during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty is elegant, beautifully decorated, and has a strong blue and white hair color, showing the first peak of blue and white porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. This artifact is suspected to be a cultural relict from the British Museum, and it is highly collectible."

After Zhang Yang finished reading the decoration of the moon bottle itself, combined with the item information, the first thought that came to his mind was:

It's not suspicious, it's for sure!

The year is right;

The ornamentation is exactly the same, Zhang Yang has searched the Internet for a comparison of the pictures of the piece in the collection;

There are even labels for artifacts in the collection;

That's the real thing!

The reason why the seller comes out with a label to sell it also makes sense, because there is no label to testify, this thing will definitely be regarded as a high imitation.

It's like the National Treasure Gang saying "This one of mine is real, and the one at the National Museum is fake".

In fact, it is to use the label as evidence of "orderly inheritance".

Chen Yanguang originally wanted to get started and take a look, but when his hand was halfway out, he suddenly stopped and asked Zhang Yang first:

"Is there any obvious problem?"

"It's fine, but be careful of the other party."

Zhang Yang briefly reminded Chen Yanguang.

Last time, he was also made a game with real things. (Chapter 40 Plot related to the Great Thief of Cultural Relics)

Even the reason for the leakage is the same: it is a stolen artifact from a museum.

"I know this, they can collect money on the front foot, and call the police to arrest me on the back foot, just like domestic fishing law enforcement."

Chen Yanguang knew it in his heart, he didn't continue to talk about the transaction, after all, Zhang Yang was live broadcasting.

He said he wanted to see the bronze mirror.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't bring out that bronze mirror."

"But we can show you the pictures to prove that there really is such a thing."

As soon as the foreigner finished speaking, Chen Yanguang whispered into the microphone:

"I'm stupid about this thing, I said it was a stolen artifact from the museum, and the things in the photos really say something."

"What if he took it while he was visiting the museum?"

[Unfamiliar! It's so strange! 】

[You are a rich second generation, you don't need such a high IQ]

[Throw your brain away, please]

[Just came, can the leek emperor still lose money today]

Mr. Chen told the seller in broken English that he was not interested in the photos.

The foreigner apologized repeatedly, and then took out a black handbag from his side.

In addition to porcelain, he also brought a painting over, and swore that Chen Yanguang would definitely be interested.

As the scroll slowly unfolds, a very good framed picture of flowers and birds is displayed in front of the camera.

At the first glance, Zhang Yang saw the big red seal at the top:

【Treasure of the Empress Dowager Cixi】

"This TM was painted by the old witch of Cixi?" Chen Yanguang also noticed the seal.

Although he doesn't know how to draw, he can still see a little bit of it, and this painting is really beautiful.

Whether it is a peony or a lark, they are all painted vividly, and they have a unique mood.

"Don't mislead the audience, Cixi just stamped it."

Zhang Yang heard Chen Yanguang's words and hurriedly refuted the rumors:

"There is a high probability that Miao Jiahui (the palace painter) caught the knife for Cixi, and even the date of the inscription on it is not Cixi's words."

"You can search the Internet for Cixi's own handwriting, a serious dog crawling character."

Zhang Yang actually doesn't know much about painting, but the year of painting, 1902, is correct with the marked "Guangxu Renyin".

And this year also happened to be the most productive year for Cixi's imperial brushstrokes.

Between 1900 and 1908, Cixi stamped thousands of paintings, and the Palace Museum alone housed more than 700 pieces.

The thing is genuine, and the value is around 100,000.

It's okay if it's picked up in the antique market, but as a stolen item, it's not worth much.

It's a bit of a shame for a cultural relics thief to steal this thing.

[Don't buy this thing, bad luck]

[I remember Cixi's paintings, and the starting price is also in six figures]

[After all, it was painted by a court painter, and the quality is still good]

[This Englishman won't think that we all like Cixi, right]

[Maybe in the eyes of the British, Cixi is their queen? 】

"To buy or not to buy?" Chen Yanguang saw a real antique for the first time, but hesitated.

The main thing is that the nominal owner of the painting has a bad reputation.

This question is not only asking himself, but also asking Zhang Yang.

"Yes, but not necessarily." Zhang Yang gave his opinion: "This kind of painting was specially painted by Cixi back then and given as a gift to the officials of the Western powers at that time. ”

"Measure the material resources of China and form the joy of the country. Cixi did achieve the unity of knowledge and action. ”

"If someone sends it out, you spend money to buy it back......"

Before Zhang Yang finished speaking, Chen Yanguang made up this sentence himself:

"Then I'm too cheap."

After speaking, he turned his head and said to the people around him:

"Wife, help me talk to this Englishman, don't waste time with this kind of garbage."

"We need hard dishes."

Chen Yanguang's wife, as a temporary translator, was afraid that foreigners would not understand the word "hard dish", so she replaced it with "the important weapon of the country".

After hearing this, the British guy hissed ~" and replied, let him think of a way.

……

The country's important weapon can also think of a way?

Zhang Yang suspected that the foreigner didn't understand the meaning of this at all.

If recognizable cultural relics like the bronze tripod could be stolen from the museum, then the security department of the British Museum could be disbanded on the spot.

But the moon-hugging bottle just now seems to be hinting at Zhang Yang again:

Maybe there is no security at all?

Or, does this seller have a special channel?

Zhang Yang quietly waited for the next step from the British, but he didn't expect that what was waiting was Chen Yanguang's big face.

He flipped the camera over and told everyone in the live broadcast room:

"This foreigner said that he would go back and think of a way to see if there are any cultural relics that are more popular with Chinese people."

"I suggest that everyone travel abroad in the future, and if you see any Cixi things, don't surround them like flies."

"Others really think that we love Cixi like a queen."

[Lao Chen is pertinent! 】

[Didn't you have a treasure friend who bought a dragon robe and imagined that he was the emperor last time]

[This is a cultural difference, no way]

[Anyway, I'm not interested in the daily necessities of the royal family]

[Last time, I saw the auction of Cixi's clothes, maybe I bought it with a white flag and offered it]

[Mainly because there are many cultural relics in the Qing Dynasty, and those in the Ming Dynasty are too rare]

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Zhang Yang finally gave Chen Yanguang a small hint:

"That moon bottle, you'd better not trade directly with this foreigner."

"It's probably stolen goods, it's illegal."

"I suggest you consult a lawyer before making a decision."

"Got it!" Chen Yanguang snapped his fingers in front of the camera.

In the eyes of Zhang Yang and others, consulting a lawyer is equivalent to directly consulting a lawyer.

After all, the other party is professional and doesn't want money.

With such a serious suggestion, Chen Yanguang certainly has no reason to refuse.

Zhang Yang also learned later that he knew that the act of buying and selling things was stolen violated domestic laws and would generally be sentenced to up to three years in prison.

Crimes committed abroad are also subject to our criminal law.

However, there is another provision in the law: if a citizen commits a crime outside the territory of China and the sentence is less than three years, he may not be prosecuted in China.

Lawyer Fang said that this can be a bug.

Of course, you can buy a moon bottle, even if it may be a thief.

But you have to buy it from the Cheng family's channel dealers, and you have to do it twice.

It doesn't matter if the middleman makes some money, because the more you pour, the safer it is.

……

"Teacher, a friend of mine owes me 20,000 yuan, and he really has no money to pay it back, so he gave me two bottles to offset the bill."

"Can you help me see if the price is right?"

"Are the two bottles the same?" Zhang Yang looked at the baby in the video and asked.

Baoyou took out the things and opened the door at a glance.

A soul bottle specially used for burials.

The thing itself is about the same height as the inner tank of the boiling water bottle, a little thinner, like a vase after slimming.

There is a step in the middle of the bottle, on which are carved many small figures with blurred facial features.

Further up, the bottleneck part, there is also a coiling snake.

It is said that the higher the identity of the owner of the tomb, the more people and animals will be carved.

Some museum-level soul bottles, with several layers of villains on them, as well as palaces and the like.

It is similar to the meaning of burning a paper house in folk funeral customs, the more luxurious the thing, the better the deceased will live in another world.

"The two are exactly the same." Bao You replied, "I just have two bedside tables, one on each side. ”

"Really? Is the brother's life so hard? Zhang Yang was a little surprised.

It's not unusual to receive a soul bottle.

People who don't understand antiques hear that it is something from the tomb, and they think it is a valuable thing, and it is normal to collect it.

But in the bedroom, it's really rare.

Antiques are mostly funerary goods, not tomb schools, who wants their bedroom to be the same as the tomb configuration?

"I'm short of soil in my life, this thing isn't earthy yellow, it's quite auspicious to put in the bedroom."

"That'll do." Zhang Yang nodded: "I have always supported your behavior of breaking feudal superstitions. ”

"This is a pair of soul bottles from the late Song Dynasty, folk kilns, and funerary goods."

"This kind of thing was originally a barn, which was used for grain, but in the Song Dynasty, it became a legendary artifact for collecting the souls of the dead."

"These two pieces have been collected for so many years, and they should be full."

"Of course, this is a superstitious statement, but in fact, it is just a funeral vessel, the same as the Terracotta Army."

"Really, really?" Baoyou swallowed obviously: "I've been feeling very unenergetic lately, could it be this reason?" ”

"There shouldn't be a direct relationship, you may just have a simple kidney deficiency."

[As long as the soul bottle is not collected, it will always work]

[You have feelings, what else is there to ask]

[To tell the truth, the brother who owes Baoyou money is really ruthless]

"Teacher, is this thing worth anything? I'm going to sell it anyway! ”

"If you sell it, your spirit will be even worse." Zhang Yang shook his head.

"Why, is it because my soul is already in the bottle?"

"Baoyou, with your superstitious level, it's a pity not to dance the gods." Zhang Yang said with a smile: "This is a cultural relic, 100% of the unearthed cultural relics, or from the Song Dynasty." ”

"Sell? What do you want? ”

"The police are holding you every day for questioning, do you think your spirit will deteriorate?"

Baoyou was silent.

He took the soul bottle in his hand and turned around, and said with emotion:

"It's a Song Dynasty."

Seeing Baoyou's tangled look, Zhang Yang told him straight to the point:

"Even if this thing can be traded, it is worth a few hundred yuan, not twenty thousand."

"If you don't turn it in, I guess museums won't bother to come to you, they don't like to accept this thing."

"Even if it's a policeman, I'll ask you about the tomb behind you."

"By the way, which tomb did this dig up from?" Zhang Yang asked after a while.

"It seems to have been dug up by building houses in the countryside in the past." Baoyou's answer was very vague.

However, Zhang Yang didn't plan to ask at all, because the other party's IP address was displayed in Linhai.

With such a person, Team Liu and they have probably waited for a long time.

[Playing a soul bottle is hard to tell your fortune? I use relics to thread strings]

【I use bibimbap】

[When I was a child, my family was poor, and the bed board was nailed with a coffin board]

[Everyone is so ruthless, I can only scoop a spoonful of mummy powder to fill my stomach]

[Teacher, look at the configuration of my bedroom, it's absolutely hard to tell fortunes]
