Chapter 332: Freshly Unearthed, Dig Casually
"But Qingzhou Museum has no cooperation with us?" Zhang Yang's expression was slightly helpless.
"We can work together, we can talk." Teacher Chen said anxiously.
"Okay, then let's talk about this matter, how about it?"
Zhang Yang felt that it was not good to make such a scene of rushing to "share the spoils" in front of Baoyou, so he decided to postpone the matter a little.
Teacher Chen also nodded approvingly, stepped forward and pointed to Baoyou in the direction of the backstage:
"That's where we receive VIPs, you can go and take a break first."
[Isn't it just a mural, as for it?] 】
[I checked, Qingzhou Museum is a national first-class museum, better than Hailin Museum]
[Mr. Chen is a researcher of calligraphy and painting, he must understand the gold content of this mural]
[The calligraphy and painting group wants to cut off the miscellaneous group, can this anchor bear it? ] 】
From time to time, there were some joking barrages in the live broadcast room, and after Zhang Yang saw it, he silently replied in his heart: This is really bearable.
The premise is that the treasure appreciation activities organized by themselves can really carry out in-depth cooperation with the Qingzhou Museum, so that when you go to Handong Province to hold activities in the future, you will have an official backer.
It's not too much to support at least a dozen experts, Zhang Yang thought happily.
Teacher Chen's intrusion was just an episode, and the picture in front of the appraisal table quickly returned to normal.
Everyone walked up to Master Zhang step by step, full of hope, with fakes, and left in great disappointment after he punctured a wave of dream bubbles of getting rich.
There are almost no surprises in the plot, and the things that are taken out for identification are also ordinary.
It's been a bit boring for a long time, but fortunately, it didn't take long for a top collector to arrive.
This treasure friend first took out a drum with Buddhist characteristics.
The shape is thick on both sides and thin in the middle, and the drum waist is connected by a copper gilt ring, and two small balls are tied to it.
Much like a big rattle without a handle.
But as soon as Zhang Yang saw the stitches on the white drum body, which looked like stitches for a wound, his scalp was a little numb.
"Baoyou, this is a Gabala drum, right?"
Zhang Yang didn't dare to pick it up and look at it, it was too unlucky.
He was a staunch materialist, and of course he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he still had to have a sense of reverence.
"yes, teacher, I should be a miscellaneous baby, right?"
"Look at the turquoise on it, and the carvings on the gilt copper rings, I think it should be the craftsmanship of the old snow area......
Baoyou pointed to the Gabala drum and talked eloquently, as if he didn't notice it at all, and the people around him looked at him with strange eyes.
Gabala is a thing that can be shown on the Internet, and when it is brought offline for identification, it can basically be identified as pure eyeballs.
"Baoyou, you are very confident, aren't you afraid that it is the new Gabala?" Zhang Yang asked coldly.
"Impossible, this is really what I asked for from the monk, it must be something from 49 years ago. I even suspect that it is a treasure of the Ming and Qing dynasties. ”
"Almost, late Qing thing."
Seeing that other collectors were taking pictures, Zhang Yang reached out and closed the lid of the box containing the Gabala drum.
This kind of skull, and it is still two pieces at a time, it is best not to enter the live picture of the treasure appreciation activity.
Otherwise, there are treasure friends who should not dare to come.
"I don't estimate the price, this thing is basically not circulating in the market now, and it is all asked for in the snow area."
"Mmmm, it's okay if you don't value it, this thing mainly depends on fate."
Baoyou did not force Zhang Yang to appraise the valuation, because he still had something to appraisal.
When the Gabala drums were confiscated, he took out two slender black bags from his bag.
When I opened it, I saw two white bones inside.
The ends of the bones are encased in carved silver shells with turquoise and red coral.
It's obviously snow craft again.
In the middle of the bone, there are several through holes evenly, and it looks a little blackened because of the time.
"These two are bone flutes that I asked for together, so let's help me take a look at them."
"Bao Youling, what else is there, take it out at once." Zhang Yang made a gesture of please.
Just now it was a drum made of the same kind of skull, and now it is a flute made of calf bones, and he will not be surprised if anything else.
If you make up a little more, you can go straight to biology class.
"No, I'll ask for these three. At that time, I donated a lot of incense money, but I was afraid that it was fake, so I wanted to ask the teacher to help me take a look. ”
"These three pieces should be from the same period." Zhang Yang replied.
"In terms of age, you can go to the end of the 19th century, aside from the material, it can be regarded as a treasure in the Tibetan Buddhist cultural relics of the late Qing Dynasty."
It was the first time for Zhang Yang to pay attention to efficiency, and he shared the item information with Baoyou while reading it, and at the first time he finished speaking, he signaled that Baoyou could call it a day.
[It's too perverted]
[Seeing this thing, I don't think Tantra can scold too much]
[These are the bones of slaves back then]
[It's ironic to use this kind of thing to cultivate Buddhism]
[It is recommended to send it for a bone age test to expose the atrocities of those demon monks]
Not only the audience of the live broadcast, but also the Tibetan friends at the scene also had a lot of discussions.
There are indeed curious people who ask where Baoyou asked for it, and the tone is full of envy and yearning, but this kind of person is a minority after all.
Most people see the collector playing with the Tantric Buddha Treasure, and they take the initiative to give way, hoping that he will leave quickly.
……
"Okay, the last treasure appraisal place today belongs to this big brother, and the treasure friends in the back of the queue will go to the assistant to get the number plate, and tomorrow you can take the number plate for priority identification."
Under Zhang Yang's command, the team almost moved in front of Tang Qiyun.
The last lucky friend didn't move.
The thing he was carrying in his hand was simple, a birdcage.
It is also an old-fashioned square cage with a brass-colored metal hook on the top, four drying bars for pet birds to perch in, and three wood-carved bird food jars.
"Teacher, this is a classic Soviet-style birdcage, how about helping to see the value?"
"The birdcage is too unpopular, I'll be honest, I don't understand it too much." Of course, Zhang Yang will not pretend to understand, so as not to mislead people, "But I can help you determine the value of this thing from several perspectives." ”
The side angle that Zhang Yang said is basically the material and age.
As for the price, I believe that since Baoyou is collecting birdcages, he should be able to deduce from these details.
"This is a Soviet-style birdcage from the late Qing Dynasty and probably the early Guangxu period."
"The material, the cage frame and the cage bar are all high-grade small-leaved red sandalwood, the cage grille is ordinary bamboo painted with red paint, and the bird food jar should be mahogany."
"Is this one ivory?" Baoyou pointed to a white bone carving bird hanging next to the cage door and asked Zhang Yang.
"Yes, it's a pity it's too small, and there are cracks, so it's not worth much."
"But overall, you're a Soviet-style birdcage."
"Probably not." Baoyou sighed and shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with the results of the identification, "I spent more than six thousand when I bought it. ”
"According to your appraisal results, teacher, I should have bought it expensive. Sure enough, when I bought something from an antique dealer, I basically couldn't see the leakage. ”
"Is the market for birdcages so bad right now?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
This birdcage, a cage made of red sandalwood (a vertical fence), used more than 72 sticks.
Now it would take thousands to make such a new one.
It is equivalent to saying that the historical attributes of the Qing Dynasty that come with it are not added at all.
"Hey, who plays with birds nowadays?" Baoyou smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Some elderly people in Jinmen will have this hobby." ”
"I bought it from an antique dealer who specializes in birdcages, and according to him, he did my business for a whole month in November."
[The main thing is that raising birds is not interesting]
[Rich people let others play with birds, poor people play with birds themselves, how can it not be their turn to play with bird cages]
[Is there one last day tomorrow, and the auction will follow?] 】
[Then I have to fly to Jinmen tomorrow, it's impossible to miss this auction]
[Did anyone really go to the anchor's leek cutting conference? ] 】
After Zhang Yang sent off the last treasure friend, he saw that the audience in the live broadcast room was chatting about the auction, and he was immediately very enthusiastic about spoilers.
"For this auction, we rented a very spacious venue in a former stadium. So if you are interested, come to Tianjin to participate in the auction! ”
"Alright, that's all for today, we'll see you tomorrow!"
……
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang was tidying up the desktop, and a middle-aged man in a black leather jacket suddenly walked straight to the identification table.
Xu Jie stretched out his hand to stop him: "Baoyou, today's appraisal is over, get the number plate and go to the back to register." ”
Zhang Yang also raised his head when he heard this, and found that the person who came looked a little familiar.
The other party greeted him with a smile: "Master Zhang, I, Lu Mingjian, the ...... communicated on the phone before"
"It turned out to be Captain Lu, I didn't even recognize it without wearing a uniform."
Zhang Yang didn't expect that the captain of the Public Security Bureau in charge of cultural relics crimes would come to pick him up in person.
But that's the attitude you should have when asking for help.
The reason for his familiarity has also been found, Zhang Yang has seen the group photo of Captain Lu and Captain Liu in the army before, so he is a little impressed by Captain Lu's appearance.
"Captain? Are you Primman? Xu Jie quickly took his hand back.
"Primman?" Captain Lui has a black question mark face.
"It's the English transliteration of the police, it's the black language of these people." Zhang Yang explained with a smile.
"That's right." Captain Lu nodded, and repeated with a smile, "Primman, black words, it's a little interesting." ”
Xu Jie shuddered when he heard this, and just wanted to explain, but Captain Lu didn't give him a chance at all, and then asked Zhang Yang:
"Master Zhang should be busy, the car is at the door, you see?"
"Let's go, I just want to see it."
Sitting in Captain Lu's car, the two went all the way to the city bureau.
The city bureau in Jinmen is much more lively than Linhai, and there are policemen coming and going in a hurry everywhere, like filming a criminal investigation drama.
It wasn't until the office of the criminal investigation detachment that it finally became a little quieter.
Zhang Yang and Captain Lu are not grinders, and the polite words that should be said have been finished in the car, and they are here to see the cultural relics involved.
There were four or five large wooden boxes on the desk in the office, and they were full of all kinds of stone carvings.
"These were all discovered during the high-speed emergency inspection, and they were handed over yesterday afternoon."
"The kid who drove the truck was interrogating next door, but until now, he just bit down and said that it was a wholesale handicraft, and shipped it back to sell."
"I don't tell him where he wholesaled, and there are no invoices and transaction records, but his mouth is really hard ......"
Zhang Yang glanced at the contents of the box and nodded approvingly: "It's really hard." ”
Because of these stone carvings on the surface, there is still soil on the outside.
It's not just dug up, who believes it?
With the help of Captain Lu, Zhang Yang took out one of them.
The first impression of this statue is that the carving is very crude, but the stone carvings used for burials are generally like this.
The material is common bluestone, and the skin is not too worn, because it is stained with yellow soil, it looks a little dirty.
"What is this carving, can the teacher tell me?"
Captain Lu didn't know when, so he took a small notebook in his hand.
Zhang Yang knew as soon as he looked at his posture that this guy was making a record.
"This is the statue of the Fudo Ming King of Tantra, you can see its hideous expression, this thing can subdue demons."
"If you look at the face, it has the characteristics of a tantric Buddha statue in the Tang Dynasty."
"So this is a funeral object from the Tang Dynasty?" Captain Lu's tone became tense.
"No, this is a post-imitation, it should be the last few years."
"Selling fake antiques?"
"It's not like ......" Zhang Yang shook his head, he couldn't judge for the time being.
The main thing is that this thing is sold to whom?
Most of the people who collect tantra-related products now play Gabala, this atypical statue of the immovable king, and those people can't understand it.
Not to mention that it is still the worst stone carving in the statue, even if it is a genuine product of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is worth a thousand pieces.
The craftsman imitates this, and that is completely idle.
"Let's take a look at it again, and look at a few more corroborations." Zhang Yang advised Captain Lu not to worry.
In addition to the statue of King Fudo Ming, there is also an eleven-faced statue of Guanyin in the same box.
Because the carving is too abstract, Zhang Yang was stunned whether he didn't see that it was Guanyin, or he only knew that he knew that this was also a tantric statue.
And it was also made just last year, and it was buried in the soil before.
Is it really a dealer who specializes in counterfeiting unpopular cultural relics?
When Zhang Yang was muttering in his heart, Captain Lu had already taken out another thing from the box next to him.
He pointed to the carved stone slab and asked Zhang Yang:
"Is this the gossip ornament on the wall of the tomb?"
"I'll see." Zhang Yang leaned in and took a closer look at it, and came to the conclusion, "This should be the Bagua Array." ”
"Bagua Array? Is it a Taoist thing? ”
"It's a game thing." Zhang Yang casually searched for a photo of the Bagua Array card from the Internet and showed it to Captain Lu.
"Normal gossip, the yin and yang fish next to the yao, are all short horizontal lines, only in this game, there are three circles."
"Teacher, you're too fine!" Captain Lu gave a thumbs up and praised.
"Hey, I wrote a lot of bad reviews for the Three Kingdoms, and I know a lot about it."
Zhang Yang waved his hand modestly and continued to see what else was there.
It took about half an hour before and after, and he can basically determine that the production time of these stone carvings of different sizes and types is basically distributed in three years, 2014, 2018 and 2023.
And it's all dug out of the ground.
"I feel like this could be three different burials, no, to be more precise, it should be called a new burial."
"It is obvious that the owners of the tombs are fond of Tantra, Taoism, and beautiful women, respectively."
"And this person who likes beautiful women is relatively rich, and the stone figurines of the imitation Han maids who accompany the funeral have been chemically old."
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher." Captain Lu nodded, he had been taking notes, and the results recorded were in line with what Zhang Yang said.
"It seems that it should be a group of habitual offenders, and his cart is transporting stone carvings that have been dug up for burial, and I hope that the other burial goods have not been shipped out."
"Teacher, then I'll go to interrogate that kid first, you wait a while, Captain Zhu, who is anti-money laundering, will come in a while."
