Wei Fuguang was a little uncomfortable by Zhang Yang, touched his face and asked:

"Brother Yang, is there something on my face?"

"You don't have anything." Zhang Yang smiled: "But Ling Zun has something." ”

"This bronze tripod and the two horns, the inscriptions are the same, if I am not mistaken, they should belong to the same tomb owner. Boss Wei, can you help us introduce the origin of the things? ”

When collecting antiques, of course, you have to ask where the things come from.

Zhang Yang's requirements are very low, even if he bought it from a tomb robber, as long as he can clearly explain the time, place, and who the tomb robber is, he will dare to accept this thing.

Anyway, it will be reported to the cultural relics department for approval in the end, and only after passing can it be exhibited.

But it's such a simple request, Boss Wei can't do it.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally only gave a place name: Lin'an.

He said that he bought it there when he was on a business trip a few years ago.

At the end, he added: "Director Zhang should understand, right?" ”

Got it? Anyway, his son Wei Fu didn't understand a little.

After watching too many stories of tomb robbers in Zhang Yang's live broadcast room, Awei didn't believe such a statement at all:

"Dad, don't make it up, tell the truth!"

"Brother Yang said that the inscription is the same, it comes out of the same tomb. When you go on a business trip, are you going on a business trip to an underground tomb? ”

"Brother Yang is your own person, you hurry up and confess and strive for leniency."

Old Man Wei also persuaded his son to listen to his grandson and seize this opportunity to confess.

The two generations of grandparents and grandchildren attacked back and forth, and Boss Wei was directly silent.

"Don't worry, I know what Boss Wei said." Zhang Yang said loudly.

After he heard the name of Lin'an, he already understood in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Boss Wei is also an old-timer in the auction industry.

No wonder he has so many bronzes in his hands, and he should have been a prominent figure in the Lin'an Huanglong Hotel back then.

But is the name of the auction house [Xilin Ancient Society] a secret?

Why are you so secretive?

Zhang Yang has always asked questions when he has them, and he can't be confused and understand.

"Boss Wei, which auction did you buy at Xilin?"

As the first auction company in China to hold a "Bronze Ritual Auction", Xilin Ancient Society has two auctions a year, divided into spring auctions and autumn auctions, which are basically held in the Huanglong Hotel in Lin'an.

It is a gold-lettered signboard for domestic bronze auctions.

However, this signboard was hung in the autumn of 2014 and taken off in the fall of 2019.

"All three of them were bought in the fall of '19."

"Oh, it turned out to be the one that had an accident."

Zhang Yang has seen relevant reports on the Internet.

In the autumn auction of that year, because it was reported as "auctioning unearthed bronzes", Xilin Ancient Society was not only on CCTV, but was finally criticized by the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Since then, there has been no bronze show.

At that time, there were 34 lots in the bronze sale, and 29 of them had problems and were directly withdrawn the day before the auction.

These two (one pair of bronze horns counts as one) lots, is that the remaining two-fifths?

But Zhang Yang is still puzzled, is there anything that can't be said?

Boss Wei was also a little confused when he heard Zhang Yang's questioning, because the news he got was:

The general environment has changed, and the auction at that time could not be said, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

But looking at Zhang Yang's expression, it seems that he has been cheated? Actually, nothing?

Now that the words have come to this, Boss Wei has no choice but to make it up, so he can only tell Zhang Yang:

These two lots were two-nineths of the ones that were withdrawn.

"It's very practicing!"

"Then I won't value these two pieces, right?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

The things that the Cultural Relics Bureau had focused on and could not be auctioned actually appeared in the hands of Boss Wei.

Isn't it true that whoever buys and sells is wronged?

"Of course, I wanted to turn it in for a long time, but I never found a suitable opportunity."

"Director Zhang, you don't know, I didn't know when I bought it that these things turned out to be the lots that were withdrawn at that time, but at that time, they had already been sold, and the seller couldn't find them......"

Boss Wei's words have never been as many as they are now.

But even his father and son wouldn't believe his words.

"It's not a big problem, Boss Wei, you should have the details of these two lots over there, right?" Zhang Yang continued to ask.

Why was the Xilin Ancient Society able to auction the bronzes?

Because every antique they auction is circulated in an orderly manner, and the source is clearly written.

How clear is it?

Taking the small Fang Ding as an example, the auction information given by Boss Wei shows:

The earliest can be traced back to 1931, when a scholar named Luo Zhenyu wrote a book "Zhensongtang Collection of Ancient Relics Addendum", which recorded:

[Jisi (1929) out of Luoyang, collection of the Central Plains Provincial Museum]

In 1942, it was acquired overseas by a French collector;

Since then, various auctions and books have documented the whereabouts of the collection......

In other words, from the time it was unearthed in 1929 to Zhang Yang's sight of this treasure in 2023, the trajectory can be found in the middle.

But how did the cultural relics in the Central Plains Provincial Museum get to France?

This is probably the reason why Xilin Ancient Society was reported in the first place, and the report was successful.

There is a high probability of theft and smuggling out of the country.

After a brief reading of the information, Zhang Yang quickly found the interpretation of those inscriptions:

It turned out to be the four words "Mu Ning Rixin".

"Ri" means "heavenly stem", and "Rixin" is one of the "ten heavenly stems" in the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

After the Shang Dynasty died, they would receive their own "day name".

Apparently the owner of the tomb was the mother of the person who carved the inscription on the bronze, and the posthumous name was "Ning Xin".

Zhang Yang took one last look at the place where it was speculated to be unearthed, and it was indeed Yin Ruins.

"Yin Ruins produce, must be a fine product", unearthed the oracle bone engraved with the oracle bone inscription, the stepmother Wuding and the pit mouth of the good owl, these three bronzes unearthed, how to look at it is very precious.

"Thank you Boss Wei for his dedication to the cause of cultural relics protection, then I won't value these three bronzes."

Zhang Yang signaled that the other party could put the information away, and it was tiring to watch the video on the mobile phone, so it was better to send it over.

There is no valuation, and of course there is no need to pay.

"It's okay, I've wanted to donate for a long time." Boss Wei replied with a wry smile.

People who like to collect bronzes are somewhat prepared in their hearts, and sooner or later there will be a day of heavy bleeding.

It's just that Boss Wei's day came a little fiercely.

After all the bronzes were identified, Zhang Yang didn't have much to look forward to the next collection.

Even if there is porcelain and pastel, what can it do?

In the Hailin Museum, there is a lot of porcelain, and Master Wang started early, and when he bought it before, it was cheap.

But he still underestimated Boss Wei.

Playing with porcelain? That's what the average collector does.

Like Chen Yanguang's father, all he collects are perverted cultural relics of ancient people.

Boss Wei, a person who can mix in Xilin Ancient Society to participate in the bronze auction, is obviously a lot higher, how can he not have a special hobby?

For example, what is being lifted out of the box now is a stone carved Bodhisattva's head.

583 AD, limestone carving of the Sui Dynasty.

There is nothing special about the era, there has always been a tradition of carving Buddha statues in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the early Sui Dynasty is not rare, but because of the style problem, it is often classified into the Buddha statues of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Zhang Yang asked casually:

"Is this bodhisattva head also auctioned?"

Boss Wei replied with a smile:

"Director Zhang, do you close your eyes first, and then open them suddenly, do you look like a person?"

Like a person? It's not as strange as talent, right?

Zhang Yang tried it according to the method suggested by the other party.

Nothing special, isn't this the characteristic of the Buddha statue of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, with a plump and round face, a straight nose bridge, and a clear lip line.

Wait, why does this look so similar......

Zhang Yang suddenly felt that Boss Wei's thinking was very dangerous.
