407 Holding the remnants
Wang Qiang and Qian Sheng were still sitting in the car and muttering just now.
Did they ask something?
How many donkey meat have these two people eaten in the fire? Didn't you have a stew? Is the donkey intestine also caught in it?
The more they talked, the more hungry they became, and they were just about to drive out for a walk to find a place to eat, when they received news from Lin Yi.
"We're going to the study on the top floor and listen to some movement."
The two of them immediately sat upright, connected to the headphones, one for each person, and quietly listened to the movement on the other end of the phone.
On Lin Yi's side, the boss of the Wang family took them to the elevator.
Ascending to the top, through the hallway, in front of a familiar red door.
This is exactly the one I saw in the live broadcast room the night before yesterday, filled with all kinds of precious collections, and the study room that made Qian Sheng begin to doubt his life.
His two younger brothers stood at the door, like doormen, and when they saw a few people coming, they opened the door and welcomed them in, and the three brothers closed the door outside.
The first thing that catches your eye is the white jade screen of the double dragon playing with pearls.
After going around, you will see the Taihu Lake stone ornament in the shape of a crane.
Then there's a huge yellow pear strip case.
It was covered with a sheet of white felt, stained with a little ink.
The inkstone the size of a basin on the case is no longer a rarity.
The pen holder of the red coral standing next to it is a masterpiece, and it is even more beautiful than the red coral they got in the "Double Week Tomb".
The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls are really just like Qian Sheng said, none of them are not from the hands of everyone and famous artists.
Lin Yi didn't bother to take a closer look, but he heard movement at the door.
As soon as he turned around, Uncle Wang came in.
"I touched the scene just now, and you were a little out of shape, and the hospitality was not good, so please Haihan."
"No, no, you're too polite, it's just that I don't know if you invited us here."
Wang Xiangfu stretched out his hand to invite the two of them to sit down, and he sat opposite them.
"I haven't been in touch with Brother Bai for decades.
Suddenly, I asked someone to inquire about my whereabouts, and then you immediately came to visit, I think, it shouldn't be just to ask about the 'Wengu Zhai' back then, right? ”
Lin Yi and Bai Lu glanced at each other.
It seems that the reason they made up still couldn't hide it from this old Jianghu, since they were invited here, they should be talking about some unknown topics.
"Since you've said that, I'll tell you the truth.
We are here to really know the truth about the 'Longmen Treasure Theft Case' back then, and after listening to you say so much, our doubts about 'Wengu Zhai' have basically been solved.
Now, we want to know more, who is the old Mei Pu Allen who single-handedly contributed to the smuggling of cultural relics in the first place?
In other words, behind him, is it the person who the shopkeeper Yue said back then that he 'can't be provoked'? ”
Wang Xiangfu, whose face was as calm as water, heard Lin Yi's question, and the whole person seemed to be suddenly electrocuted.
His eyes widened suddenly, he stood up and looked at Lin Yi, and asked in a nervous tone:
"What are you asking for?"
Judging from his reaction, Lin Yi already knew that he had asked the point.
And this Uncle Wang obviously knows something inside.
When Wang Xiangfu asked this sentence, he already realized that he had lost his temper again in front of his juniors.
He put away his expression and slowly sat back in his seat.
After being silent for a long time, he finally spoke again, and asked in a muttered voice:
"Did they find you?"
This time it was Lin Yi's turn, and the two of them were surprised.
"I don't know if the 'they' you said are the one I want to ask."
Wang Xiangfu closed his eyes and nodded.
"Ziyihou, right! I've dealt with them. ”
This old man is really speechless.
Lin Yi and the others came over this time, just with the idea of giving it a try, and wanted to inquire about some details of the 'Longmen Treasure Theft Case' from Uncle Wang, but they didn't expect to get to the root by mistake.
This old man Wang Xiangfu, the apprentice of the "Wengu Zhai" of the Liuli Factory, actually dealt with the "Purple Marquis".
This was simply too unexpected for Lin Yi and them.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, these guys are still haunted. Back then, when my master, Mr. Yue, was in prison, he knew that his time was running out.
Because he knew he was in a dilemma, and if he put those gravels together, he could reduce his sentence.
However, the family of the senior sister and the senior sister, including us apprentices, will be implicated.
He can't fight it, so he can only pay for it with his life.
In the end, he chose the latter, and on his deathbed he left a suicide note, saying that he deserved it. ”
Speaking of which, this old man in his late teens had some red circles under his eyes.
These contents are basically consistent with Lin Yi's previous speculation.
Shopkeeper Yue is afraid that from the moment he was taken away, he had already planned his "way".
"After Master left, Master gave me a memoir he wrote in prison, and in two years, he wrote four whole books.
According to the master's confession before his death, if he has three longs and two shorts, which apprentice will come to mourn for him, he will give this thing to him.
Later, this memoir came into my hands, and the contents of it were written in such a mess that I couldn't understand what he was trying to say.
It wasn't until I found out that it was occasionally interspersed with all the code cuts of our 'Wengu Zhai' that I remembered that this was not a memoir at all, it was just a code book.
The four memoirs correspond to the contents of "Shuowen Jie Zi", "Song Benyu Chapter", "Zhengzitong" and "Kangxi Dictionary". ”
Listening to his introduction, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This shopkeeper Yue is really cautious enough, and the four code books correspond to the four "dictionaries" from the Han, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
Even if this thing falls into the hands of others, I'm afraid it can only be blackened.
What kind of secret does he need to hide so deeply?
Wang Xiangfu then said:
"I returned to Cangzhou, took this codebook, and it took more than a year to finally get the content out of it.
The content hidden in these four memoirs is a book, called "Holding the Remnant Sutra", which is a book handed down by the ancestor of the shopkeeper, which is dedicated to explaining how to imitate, make old, and make a strange book that is enough to mess with real antiques.
In addition to the four categories of ceramics, calligraphy and painting, bronze and jade, there is also a miscellaneous item, which can be described as all-inclusive, including all categories of antiques.
It is precisely because of this strange book that I officially started my 'baggage' business.
I started from scratch, and by the time I returned to Cangzhou, my business had begun to take shape.
That's from this point on, the 'Purple Marquis' began to find me. (End of chapter)
