Chapter 13 Buying a casserole and taking pearls (3)

The middle-aged glasses were still worried, so he continued to ask: "Then why did he rush to put that piece of ancient paper into the password box? Isn't it more confidential to take them home?"

"This is what I think is extraordinary about that piece of paper." After the short and thin man finished speaking, he looked at the middle-aged glasses strangely and said, "Keep confidential? Why do you need to keep it confidential? That thing is his. Besides, no one will notice this detail."

The middle-aged man asked again: "You are so sure, did he really go for that piece of ancient paper?"

"Do you know the result is not easy?" said the short and thin man: "Look at how much his ancient paper costs?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man gave up his concerns, nodded, and said, "He bought two of the three things he took out. This guy has a very accurate vision and can develop it."

Cadillac drove all the way to the suburbs of Beijing, and Tang Feng asked Su Qing, "Where is this?"

Su Qing said: "Tongzhou Fenglu Royal Garden."

"Oh." Tang Feng nodded casually. He didn't know the market. Fenglu Royal Garden is a villa project in Tongzhou, one of the most expensive real estate projects in Tongzhou, with an average price of more than 10,000 yuan.

"Avoiding the wise and stopping the prefecture at the beginning, and enjoying the sage and holding a cup. To ask the guests in front of the door, how many people are coming today." This is a five-character quatrain, which is the most widely circulated poem by Li Shizhi. This is written by Li Shizhi after he was allowed to be removed from the position of left prime minister in the fifth year of Tianbao and changed to the position of the young prince Shaobao. The title of the poem is called "Avoiding the Prefecture". It is said that he resigned voluntarily, but in fact, Li Shizhi was forced to do so. He was always at a disadvantage in the political struggle with Li Linfu. Resigning was actually to avoid disaster. Who is Li Linfu? He is a treacherous minister in Chinese history. Li Shizhi is not his opponent in politics, but when playing literature, Li Linfu can't do it. This is a satirical poem written for the sake of the incident. Avoiding the wise is an antonym, which means avoiding the traitor and avoiding the traitor Li Linfu.

Tang Feng said that there is no direct evidence to prove that the lacquer wood Bafang box belongs to Li Shizhi. This is not complete, at least there is indirect evidence. This "manuscript" by Li Shizhi is indirect evidence.

There were no artificially synthesized chemical raw materials in ancient times. The paints they used were all natural raw lacquer. The main ingredients of natural raw lacquer were uluolol, laccase, gum and moisture. Using raw lacquer as paint can make the lacquer resistant to moisture, high temperature and corrosion. This is the biggest feature of lacquerware. As mentioned earlier, Li Shizhi's tomb chamber was buried in dry and single soil. Therefore, whether from the small environment where this manuscript was placed or the large environment where this lacquer wood box was preserved, this manuscript should be a well-preserved real product.

.But it looks very fake. This is the confusing nature of the cultural relics unearthed. It is this confusing nature that makes the masters patronize the lacquer wood box and ignore the ancient paper, and even ignore the truth about the manuscript of a celebrity. Not to mention them, even the short and thin little ones who took out the lacquer wood box from the tomb did not know that this inconspicuous ancient paper was a manuscript of a celebrity. The short and thin little ones knew that this ancient paper was real because he was an eyewitness, while Tang Feng came to the conclusion entirely based on his own judgment.

All antique identification experience cannot be separated from one premise, that is, under normal preservation conditions, the antiques that were unearthed are separated from this normal state, and their characteristics will also change due to changes in the preservation environment. Just like the Terracotta Warriors, when they were dug out, these terracotta figurines were painted on them, and almost a week later, the painted colors disappeared. China discovered and determined the location of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum as early as the 1970s, but it has never dared to dig until now because it cannot be protected after excavation.

Scientists understand this, but tomb robbers don't understand it. Even if they understand, they don't care about so many. The short and thin guy took out the lacquered wooden box without any protection. Therefore, the characteristics of this manuscript have changed. Because of the moisture, the thick ancient breasted paper that should have been light yellow turned into dark yellow, and the ink marks also showed signs of divergence; it was hard, brittle, soft and tough, and also because of the moisture, this ancient paper is more flexible than the real ancient paper. There are many similar changes, all of which are extremely subtle changes. If you were not born in a tomb robber family, I am afraid that even Tang Feng would not be able to see that this is the real product.

Cadillac stopped in the yard of a single villa in Fenglu Royal Court. After getting off the bus, Tang Feng looked at the luxury villa and said, "Don't tell me that this villa is your police's property."

"Of course not. Our bureau has no money to buy a villa." Su Qing said: "This is the property of the famous patriotic overseas Chinese and Hong Kong antique businessman Mr. Dong Minquan." Tang Feng obviously had no impression of this Mr. Dong Minquan, and walked into the villa with Su Qing.

Compared with these wealthy antique businessmen in Hong Kong, the domestic collectors are pale in comparison. In the 2005 Hong Kong Sotheby's autumn auction, Hong Kong antique businessman Zhai Jianmin successfully purchased the imperial enamel color Gu Yuexuan inscribed with a poem about flower stone pheasant picture of the Qing Dynasty at a sky-high price of 122 million yuan, setting a new record for Chinese people to acquire antiques. But this record did not last long. In 2006, Dr. Zhang Yongzhen, a member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice President of the Hong Kong Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and President of Hong Kong Yongxing Enterprise Company, for RMB 160 million at the Christie's Asia Auction in Hong Kong

The amazing price of the price set a new record and successfully purchased the Qing Qianlonglong imperial enamel colored apricot forest spring swallows bowl. Although Dong Minquan did not set any record, he was by no means an ordinary person. At the Christie's auction in London in 2005, he participated in the competition for the Yuan blue and white jars of Guigu Shushan, and once raised the quotation to a high of RMB 217 million. If the transaction was made at this price, the record of the Chinese purchasing antiques would be Dong Minquan. Although he was defeated in the end, it at least showed that his strength was not inferior to the first two.

In the spacious living room of the villa, Tang Feng raised the password box in his hand and asked Su Qing: "Do you want to leave this to you for safekeeping?"

Su Qing smiled and said, "You are a rich manuscript now, so of course you will keep it." This is the answer Tang Feng wants most now. This time, there is no need to worry that Li Shizhi's manuscript will be discovered by her.

Then, Su Qing told Tang Feng about their plans. Tomorrow, the antique furniture appraisal experts invited by the police will come to identify the lacquered wood box. If it is true, this thing will eventually be handed over to Dong Minquan and he will take it to Hong Kong for "auction". Of course, this is just a means by the police to confuse the people in the underground black market. The purpose of the police is to let the underground black market know that Tang Feng is not fighting alone. He is the spokesperson of Hong Kong antique businessmen and has the ability to take black antiques away from the country. This is undoubtedly a great good news for the short and thin guys.
