"Yue Bin? Why are you asking him? ”

Old Man Bai's words were full of disdain.

"That's the case, I wasn't thinking about it before, this 'Purple Marquis' is not easy for us to inquire about, so let Lulu go to Lao Mei to ask.

I didn't expect to ask some eyebrows, six years ago, we had a batch of Buddha statues from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, smuggled to Los Angeles, and were bought by a congressman.

So I suspect that this 'Purple Marquis' may not be the buyer behind the scenes, but a broker organization.

It just so happened that the third child mentioned that there had been a case in the Liuli Factory before, the case of the theft of the Buddha statue relief in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and I wanted to ask you to see if there was any connection between the two things. ”

Old Man Bai set up his birdcage and made a look, Qian Sheng hurriedly went over and closed the courtyard door.

"Let's go, say inside."

led a few people into the back room.

Old Man Bai sat down, picked up the tea bowl and blew the tea leaves on it, took a sip, and then put down the tea bowl.

"Back then, when I came to Liulichang to arrest people, I was still an apprentice, and the Yue family's Wengu Zhai was separated from our family by a few doors, but their shop was in a good location and popular.

Although the Yue family has been in the glaze factory for a long time and has deep qualifications, it has not been very good in the reputation of its peers.

Because what their family is best at is to make it old, and the means are so clever that even some of their peers have to be eyed if they are not sure.

So those of us who do serious business rarely have contact with their family, and he has two apprentices who have a little friendship with me.

I remember that year, after the police took Yue Bin away, they seized Wengu Zhai, and within a few days, a notice was posted outside, saying that Yue Bin found the contract signed by Yue Bin with foreigners in Wen Gu Zhai, and found in the yard that after they chiseled it that year, they could not stick to the several large boxes of stones that were buried.

The 'Longmen Robbery' was turned over, and since then, the name of Wengu Zhai has completely disappeared from the Liuli Factory, and Yue Bin died of illness two years after he was arrested. ”

After the old man Bai finished speaking, his gaze was slightly sluggish, and then he sighed again.

"At the beginning, Yue Bin's two apprentices, no one in the entire Liuli Factory was willing to take them in, and everyone poked them in the backbone, and finally when they left Beijing, I still gave them the money to send them back to their hometown.

When the eldest apprentice Ding Zhaohai left, he held my hand and said that his master had accepted money from foreigners, but what was handed over to foreigners in the end was actually a fake. ”

"Fakes?"

Several people exclaimed at the same time.

"I didn't really listen to it at all.

Now it's even more inexplicable, the foreigner said that this thing was from our territory, and on the original site of the Longmen Grottoes, these two reliefs are indeed missing.

Later, the people involved in this case were arrested one after another, including the pseudo-chief of Longmen Yanggou back then, several local bandit leaders, and stonemasons were all arrested, and the matter was basically confirmed, and then slowly no one discussed this matter.

If you hadn't brought it up today, I'd have forgotten about it. ”

"Sir, are the two apprentices that Yue Bin accepted back then still alive?"

Lin Yi asked.

Old Man Bai's eyes were slightly closed, and he pondered carefully for a while.

"Both of them are younger than me, Ding Zhaohai is six years younger than me, Wang Xiangfu is seven years younger than me, it stands to reason that they should both be alive, but where are you looking for these two people now?

After leaving Beijing that year, there has been no news for so many years, isn't looking for them like looking for a needle in a haystack? ”

"Do you remember where they both went back in the first place?"

"Where are you going?"

Old Man Bai pondered for a long time, and then spoke again:

"Xiao Haizi is from Luanzhou, and Xiao Fuzi seems to be from Jizhou, I don't know exactly what it is, anyway, it's not far from Shangjing, and he speaks with a Jizhou accent."

"Is that how their names are written?"

Lin Yi took out his notebook and wrote down the names of the two.

"Ding Zhaohai, Wang Xiangfu"

Old Man Bai nodded.

"That's right, just these two names, why are you really going to go to them?"

"Yes, we have too little information at hand now, and the other party is in the shadows, Lulu should have told you too, I suspect that these people and the Feng family have been smuggling national treasures.

We must take the initiative, otherwise we will be beaten on the head by someone, and we won't know who hit it. ”

When the old man Bai heard it, he was happy.

"Okay, thinking is really long-term, people have no long-term worries, it's a good habit to take precautions, okay, leave this matter to me."

I can't find a 'purple-clothed marquis', but I can still find out about them. ”

"Oh, sir, do you remember this?"

"Nonsense, can I not remember this? If I forget, you boys, don't you have to keep talking in our ears? ”

"That can't, that can't, it's not early, you can rest early, we have to go back to the live broadcast, I'm waiting for your good news here."

After that, Lin Yi and the three of them said goodbye to their grandfather and grandson, and drove straight to Qian Sheng's house.

Now, his study has been temporarily requisitioned and transformed into a live broadcast room.

At half past eight every night, the "Sugar Four Corners" live broadcast room was launched on time.

After returning to the house, Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng cleaned up a little, turned on the live broadcast equipment, filled the light or something, and started working.

I exchanged a few words of greetings in front of me, chatted with the sailors in the live broadcast room, and soon some fans launched an invitation to connect with the microphone.

"Come, let's see what this friend is holding."

A pair of hands appeared on the screen, opening a beautiful brocade box, which was neatly arranged with more than a dozen bejeweled and crystal clear bracelets.

A woman's voice came from the other side.

"Trouble the money shopkeeper to give the palm eye, this is some of the bracelets my mother-in-law collects, and by the way, I will also give an estimate."

When Qian Sheng took a look, he knew that these bracelets were worth a lot of money.

The material is roughly divided into jade and jadeite, jade is the kind of mutton fat and Tian jade, warm, moist, soft and delicate light, do not need too complex carving, just make a single circle bracelet, can reflect its value.

Not to mention the jadeite ones, the glass species of Yishui, and occasionally a few ice species materials, are also flawed.

"Baoyou, do you have these things in a box at home? Now the family doesn't take advantage of a dozen suites and seven or eight luxury cars, which all belong to the middle of the family.

You're not here to look for me to appreciate the treasure, you're here to show off your wealth. ”

The woman on the opposite side smiled and smiled.

"The money shopkeeper is really good eyesight, this is my mother-in-law's collection when she was young, she only likes jade and jade all her life, my father-in-law's collection is better than this, you wait a while, I'll see if he's not there."

If he's not there, I'll show you the collection in his study, and I feel like everything in his room will catch up with a small museum. ”
