Chapter 119: Gilded Guanyin Statue

After seeing Bai Qumei again, Wang Zhuo attracted his divine sense to quietly turn off the mobile phones of himself and Xiao Xiang, and at this time, there were six people in Bai Qumei, which can be described as a large number of people. Wang Zhuo wouldn't be stupid enough to trouble her right now. Not to mention that there are still two men in the drunken Xiaozhu bar who did not appear, and the known Tang Yu did not appear, it is impossible to say whether the two groups of people are all the way.

The most important thing is that Wang Zhuo has not obtained any information so far about what treasures will appear in this exhibition, and for now it is only limited to his personal enmity with Bai Qumei.

If you want to take revenge, you have to do it as soon as possible, but if you endure it, it will be more enjoyable when you endure. As long as Bai Qumei fights with others, then is the time for Wang Zhuo to give her a back.

Ran Finch first introduced Bai Qumei into the VIP seat, and five bodyguards surrounded her, and there were only three people who were also VIPs with her, and the same bodyguards were everywhere. Such a style, coupled with a delicate appearance, a well-proportioned and plump figure and a rich and compelling temperament, attracted the attention of countless people.

Wang Zhuo put his arm around the female appraiser's shoulders and asked Xiao Xiang softly, "Sister-in-law, do you know them?"

Xiao Xiang frowned slightly and shook his head: "I heard that the chairman of the Beijing company is a mixed race of the three countries, what is the Chinese name?"

The female appraiser beside Wang Zhuo blushed and said, "Bai Rui." ”

Xiao Xiang glanced at the appraiser lightly, and saw that his face was even redder, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xiao Nizi, you are also a woman, you have only been by Wang Zhuo's side for a few minutes, and you have a spring heart, if people touch you, will you take off your clothes and give it to him on the spot?

However, everyone has their own choice, if Wang Zhuo doesn't need to be strong, it is not easy to say anything if her female employees stick to her. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes, the Chinese name is this, but the English name I remember is John Reis." I don't know if the host called the wrong name or what. ”

Wang Zhuo nodded slightly, it seems that this Ran Finch is not an ordinary person, this Lunan exhibition is probably the meaning of the last farewell party he held, otherwise he would not appear with his real name.

His consciousness wasn't scanned aggressively. With only the five senses, it is impossible to tell what kind of structure Bai Qumei and others are, what is known is that Bai Qumei is probably very familiar with the formation, when Wang Zhuo entered the bar, he didn't distinguish the inside of the bar that seemed to be real and illusory, and although the two bottles of beer he remembered to drink still tasted wheat, the taste was not good at all.

It must be overdue! This is the conclusion that Wang Zhuo came to after two days of entanglement.

At this time, Xiao Xiang looked at Bai Qumei and continued: "As for that woman, I have a small impression. Then he smiled at Wang Zhuo with a slight depression: "My sister-in-law is old, and I somehow forgot about yesterday's events, but I remember things ten or twenty years ago clearly." I remember seeing this woman once from ten years ago, but I didn't expect her to be so well raised, she looked like twenty-five or sixteen at the time, and she still looks like that now. ”

Wang Zhuo didn't expect Xiao Xiang to really see Bai Qumei. Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask questions, the stereo in the auction hall suddenly emitted a gong sound, and the sound was loud and overwhelmed all the noise. Wang Zhuo looked up and saw that all the screens and LEDs began to broadcast the treasure appraisal site live, and the host in the glass room was striking a huge gong, and said at the same time: "Dear all the Tibetan friends at the scene, after a morning of treasure appreciation, several of our experts have identified more than 300 pieces of various antique treasures, of which the authenticity rate is 5%, and then our treasure appreciation will continue until 11 o'clock in the evening." And our auditions are also in full swing. Now I announce that the Tianya Antique Art Appraisal will be launched again!"

After that, the camera turned on the screen, and I saw that there were at least about 1,000 people outside the gymnasium, and when they saw the cameraman aiming at them, they raised their hands one after another. The whole area of Lunan is mountainous and tree-based. A few hundred years ago, this place was even one of the five famous kilns in Liaojin, but probably the sand in the north was not very good, and Liaojin did not achieve great unification and lacked heritage, even if a large number of craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship were captured, it was difficult to fire more fine products. Therefore, there is no contrast between the porcelain fired by the Lunan kiln and the world-famous official kilns such as Guan, Ge, Ru, Ding, and Jun.

But even so, Lunan occupies a favorable location, and most of the thousands of people at the door are porcelain. Let's not talk about its authenticity, first of all, the style will be known at a glance that the road is basically Lunan kiln.

Could it be that the treasure they are looking for is a piece of porcelain from the Lunan kiln?

Wang Zhuo looked at these happy and excited crowds and began to think carefully.

As a city that began to rise from Liaojin, Lunan was a provincial important place until the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and there were many antiques indicating that there were many ancient tombs, and there were no fewer associated tomb robbers. Now the more reasonable explanation is that the tomb robbers only found some kind of treasure unearthed by this group of monks after robbing the tomb, but they could not trace the specific location of the treasure, and it is more likely that they did not know what the treasure was, and could only be discovered through careful observation on the spot.

But this creates another problem, these people can completely observe each antique at close range during the audition, find out which is a treasure, and just grab it and run away.

Wang Zhuo then felt funny about his thoughts, and after discovering the treasure, it didn't matter if he grabbed it and ran away or bought it at auction, it was an effect, if there were many people competing for it, it would inevitably be a bloody battle.

The camera turns again, and the glass room begins to be filled with antiques in hand, and the auction hall begins to fall silent, now is not a good time to talk. Wang Zhuo gently hugged the female appraiser and watched the big screen.

Behind a long square table sit four treasure connoisseurs with magnifying glasses and special flashlights. When the antique is placed on the table, there is a close-up of a few seconds.

The antique is a gilded Bodhisattva more than 30 inches long, when the expert specializing in bronze picked up the Bodhisattva and looked at it carefully, and then used a flashlight and a magnifying glass to look at the man sitting on the chair and said, "Is this your family heirloom or did you buy it?"

The man, a thin man in his forties with vegetables on his face who seemed to be malnourished for a long time, said slowly, "I bought it." ”

The expert asked, "When did you buy it?" Is there a five-year experience?"

The man replied, "About three or four years, I don't remember exactly." ”

Because it is not a TV show, the expert is too lazy to listen to the man's story, so he smiled directly: "The smell of mud has not dissipated yet, but congratulations, this collection of yours is genuine." ”

After that, the expert raised the Buddha statue and continued: "This is a gilded Guanyin Buddha statue in the Southern Song Dynasty, we all know that the words of the Song Dynasty are famous in the history of literature in the world, but few people know that the gilded bronze Buddha statue of the Song Dynasty also has high artistic value. The gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Song Dynasty embody a unique artistic style and are the treasures of choice for collectors. Before the Song Dynasty, the gilded bronze Buddha statues were mainly Buddha statues, and in the Song Dynasty, the bronze Buddha statues were mostly Bodhisattvas. The body is tall and long. The placement of the legs is also different, for one arch and one fall, the left arm is placed on the arched leg, and the right hand is pressed flat on the seat. The dress has long pleats that fall behind the legs. Wearing tassels, it looks graceful and has a Buddhist atmosphere. The Buddha seat is a two-layer lotus flower with a thin waist round seat, the Bodhisattva's face is plump, the forehead is wide and plump, the appearance is dignified and beautiful, and the expression of kindness is the characteristic of the Buddha statue in the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this Buddha statue is well preserved, the color of the pulp is natural, there is a natural old atmosphere, and it is very clean to the touch. Anyway, congratulations, this is the real thing. ”

The thin man didn't have any particularly excited expression on his face, he stood up and first bowed to the expert, and then asked, "Then how much is this worth in the market?"

"Now in China, the bronze gilt Buddha statues in the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty are the most favored by high-end collectors in the market, I can only say. Your Buddha statue is so well preserved, it represents the pinnacle of the gilded Buddha statue of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is absolutely no problem to be higher than one million. ”

Wang Zhuo listened with interest, and suddenly felt that the female appraiser beside him was breathing a little fast. Her skin has been irregularly flushed, and she couldn't help but ask in her ear, "Feeling unwell?"

The female appraiser's ears were crispy and numb, and then spread all over her body, shaking her head slightly. "No, no, it's comfortable. ”

"How much do you think this Buddha statue is worth? And what does the expert mean when he says it smells of mud?"

Thankfully, you changed the subject. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the urge to ask you out at night. The female appraiser said softly: "He means that the man is deceiving people, and the Buddha statue is afraid that it has just been unearthed." As for the price of the Buddha statue, I can't say, now the Buddha statue is very hot in the domestic market, everyone wants to ask a family protector to protect the property, if there is no accident in the auction, I think it will be about 20 million to be sold. ”

Wang Zhuo nodded, his eyes looked at Bai Qumei, and he saw that Bai Qumei was talking to Ran Fenqi in his ear, and he didn't seem to care about the treasure scene at all.

At this moment, Ran Finch got up and walked onto the stage, spoke fluent Mandarin and said to the microphone: "Now the first auction item of the afternoon auction has appeared, if you are interested in this Southern Song Dynasty gilt Guanyin Bodhisattva Buddha statue, please press the button in front of the table, as long as there are more than five VIPs, we will contact the Tibetan owner to introduce the Buddha statue." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Qumei slapped the button sensor on the table, and then about 20 people also took pictures one after another.

Wang Zhuo frowned, and whispered to Xiao Xiang in front of him: "Sister-in-law, you can help me press it too." ”

Xiao Xiang was stunned for a moment, three Confucian monks, first-class emperors, second-rate officials, three monks, four fifth-rate doctors, the so-called flow doctors also include fortune tellers, you said that you are a fortune teller to invite the Bodhisattva home, how unprofessional this is!

But she didn't say anything, and followed the local tyrant around her to shoot the button.

Two minutes later, almost nine-tenths of the dignitaries in the audience slapped the button. Ran Finch smiled, this auction of the treasure is just right for the time, during this auction time, the appraisal of the treasure on the spot is all fakes, and the real ones will reappear after the auction is completed. This combination of fun and time-saving has always filled all the auctions he has held, which can be described as perfect.

In less than a moment, the thin man was "invited" by several bodyguards, looking at his bitter face, I am afraid that these bodyguards have no good way.

Ran Fenqi didn't care about the bitter master at all, and took the appraisal book issued by his own high-end appraiser and put it on the table with the Buddha statue and said: "A gilded Bodhisattva Buddha statue in the Southern Song Dynasty, the starting price is five million, after completion, we will draw ten percent of the procedure money, and the rest will be transferred to the Tibetan owner's account, now please bid." ”

The voice fell, and several people held up signs at the same time, among which there was white beauty.

The auction was the highest price, and Ran Finch smiled at Bai Qumei and said, "Ms. Bai No. 1 bid nine million, who else will continue to bid?"

"Tsk, why is her surname Bai?" Xiao Xiang whispered, but not only Wang Zhuo could hear this sentence clearly, but one of the bodyguards who was twenty meters away from her looked back at Xiao Xiang.

Although the bodyguard was wearing sunglasses, Xiao Xiang still felt that his eyes were shining through the sunglasses, and the corners of his mouth trembled and he didn't dare to speak again.

Wang Zhuo had already bowed his head on the back of the female appraiser, which made the female appraiser eager to turn his head and press Wang Zhuo on his chest, so that he could love himself well.

The bodyguard probably saw that Xiao Xiang was not threatening, and her mobile phone was turned off again, so he turned back and stopped looking. Xiao Xiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then there was endless anger.

You still dare to look at me like this in the realm of Lunan? It's crazy!

Xiao Xiang was about to take out his mobile phone and call Shi Wei. As soon as his hand reached into the donkey's bag, his wrist was grabbed, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Wang Zhuo, only to hear Wang Zhuo say softly: "Sister-in-law moves slowly." ”

"Master Wang, I'm a woman, I'm small-minded, I hold grudges, don't worry about this. Xiao Xiang almost crushed a mouthful of white teeth, and the glance just now was not only because of the aggressiveness of the bodyguard, but also because she was even more annoyed because she was afraid.

Wang Zhuo waved his hand lightly, and a black aura was generated between him and Xiao Xiang that no one could see around. It is the hidden supernatural power of the Black Dragon Great Sage. Then he said: "Sister-in-law, you can talk to me again about the beauty of vain." ”

"Is it for nothing?"

Wang Zhuo pointed to Bai Qumei's back and said, "It's her." ”

Xiao Xiang turned around and saw that the bodyguard didn't hear the sound this time, could it be that glance just now was unintentional? temporarily suppressed his anger and said: "I remember seeing her once ten years ago, when I was with you Brother Shi, well, in short, you have also met Li Rui before." Not long after I got married, Li Rui was still working as a section chief in the Yangcheng Traffic Department, and he took me to a class reunion. I just met her at the party, but she is not surnamed Bai, I remember that her surname is obviously Xu. ”

She's another Channing, but Channing is a stupid wolf. After decades of mixed red dust, I don't know how to change the name. Wang Zhuo said silently in his heart, and at the same time asked, "Sister-in-law, is she Li Rui's classmate?"

Xiao Xiang shook her head, a smile flashed across her face and said, "It's fun to say." Ten years ago, the domestic climate was far less open than it is now. At that time, Li Rui's female classmates took her out, although they didn't say it explicitly, but we can all see through their abnormal intimate attitude that the two of them are gay love. ”

Now even the demons and monsters are so trendy? Wang Zhuo wanted to sneer. Then I thought that I was a cat, playing the piano and writing calligraphy, and I found a partner or a rat spirit. Even if he is a little stronger than the Bull Demon King, a herbivore and a carnivorous fox spirit, it is limited, and he is really not qualified to laugh at Bai Qumei.

I only heard Xiao Xiang continue: "As for what she did, I didn't pay attention, you also know that I have not been in a very good mood in those years, and I have never participated in a similar party with Li Rui since that time, but later I heard Li Rui say that his female classmate had a car accident and became a vegetative person, and has been nursing in the provincial hospital." ”

As they were talking, Xiao Xiang and the female appraiser were stunned at the same time, only to see Wang Zhuo beckoning, and a mobile phone floated out of the pocket of the man sitting next to them and flew directly into his hand.

I'm going to get wet!

The female appraiser was dumbfounded, slightly frightened and more curious about Wang Zhuo. And Xiao Xiang smiled bitterly, the more he came into contact with this man, there were all kinds of surprises, well, Lao Shi was only surprised but not happy. But no matter what, if I were thirty years younger, I would be crying and rushing to be with him, and it would be no problem to be small.

Under the shocked gaze of the two women, Wang Zhuo used an outsider's mobile phone to call Lang Qing.

Lang Qing has become the acting director of the Yangcheng Police Department, just waiting for the conference to be over, he will be sure to step to the deputy hall, and he and his girlfriend are also ready for the wedding, two of the four joys in life, it is the time of the spring breeze, he naturally has the confidence to pick up the phone, and said loudly: "Which one?"

Wang Zhuo smiled: "Lang Bureau, how are you doing lately?"

Hiss!

Lang Qing couldn't forget this magnetic and heavy voice for the rest of his life, and his pitch dropped an octave, full of respect: "Master Wang?"

"It's me. ”

Lang Qing hurriedly said, "Hello Master Wang, have you returned to Yang City?"

"I didn't come back, I'm in Lunan now, and I want to trouble you with one thing. ”

Lang Qing said: "Master Wang, you are too polite, if there is anything you can say, no matter whether I can do it or not, I will definitely do my best to do it." ”

Wang Zhuo smiled, "I want to ask the Lang Bureau to help me find out a cadre named Li Rui, who was the secretary of the county party committee of Chongshan County, Lunan, and died a few days ago because of an accident." ”

Lang Qing was stunned, "Li Rui, I know him, we used to be in the traffic compound, but he is a few years older." ”

Such a coincidence?

Wang Zhuo didn't know that Li Rui was looking for Geng Wentian, and he knew his background so quickly, but it was not too late. Covering the microphone and asking Xiao Xiang, "Sister-in-law, what did you say was the surname of Li Rui's classmate? ”

Xiao Xiang thought for a while and replied, "She is probably Li Rui's high school classmate, I really forgot what her surname is." ”

Wang Zhuo nodded, and Lang Qing in the microphone said: "Since Lang Ju you know him, it's easy to do, please help me investigate one of Li Rui's high school female classmates, who has been on life in the provincial hospital because of a car accident a few years ago, and has been in a vegetative state in the provincial hospital, I will give Lang Ju half an hour." ”

Lang Qing listened to the last sentence and spurted out a mouthful of old blood, I said Master Wang, if I don't investigate clearly in half an hour, do you want to pick my skin?

After hesitating, he didn't dare to ask after all, and said with a full mouth: "Don't worry, Master Wang, as long as she is still in Yangcheng, I guarantee that if she turns into ashes, I can pick her up and hand it over to you within half an hour!" (To be continued......)
