History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 348 Wang Xizhi's Authentic Works

"Sir Jian, last night the Marine Police District seized a smuggling boat at sea and found a batch of smuggled cultural relics, which were verified by experts as authentic, please sign and review the officer." He Dingxian stood in the director's office and reported the case in a serious manner.

Jian Baoning showed a very interested look, stepped forward to take the case report, flipped through it and said with a smile: "Well done, Sir He, the Hong Kong Island Police Force will never allow contraband to cross the sea, the guys in the Marine Police District have worked hard. "

He saw a list in the document, but found that it contained white powder, ammunition and other items.

"The responsibility lies."

He Dingxian stood at attention and saluted, and sat down in the sofa area at the invitation of the officer.The officer put down the documents, opened the box, took out a few toys, tasted them with relish, and asked tentatively, "Are these cultural relics of high value?"

"high."

He Dingxian said succinctly: "They are all collected by the Taiwan Museum. The average value of each piece is no less than [-]. There is a lot of room for value-added in the future."

"Hahaha."

Jian Baoning looked at the three boxes of cultural relics, there were at least forty or fifty items, and he was very happy, and he didn't hide it. He directly signed the document with a pen and handed it back to him: "Thank you sir, last night I also heard about it, it is said that there was a gun battle at the Wan Chai pier?"

"Yes."

He Dingxian took the documents, and a large number of cultural relics seized were turned into white powder, arms, etc. under one signature.

"At around [-] o'clock in the morning, [-] gunmen attacked the marine police wharf, trying to snatch back the seized contraband, but failed under the tenacious persistence of the marine police force, until the support of the Wanchai Department defeated them."

Apparently, Jian Baoning had already heard about the incident at the dock, and was very satisfied with He Dingxian's attitude of taking the initiative to share the profits. Hearing this, he frowned and wanted to investigate the responsibility: "Who did it?"

"Xin Ji."

He Dingxian said: "36 criminals were killed at the scene and 14 were arrested. According to the confession, it can be confirmed that the Xin Ngee Ann Company planned the attack, and the participants all have triad backgrounds, and all belong to the Xin Ngee Ann Company."

"The Serious Crime Squad has arrested the person in charge of Xin Ngee Ann, Xiang Qian, and his son."

"Five members of the police force lost their lives and four were injured, all of whom were members of the Marine Police District."

Jian Baoning nodded: "Sin Ngee Ann Company is suspected of triad activities, immediately submit a report to the Civil Affairs Department, cancel Sin Ngee Ann's social registration, and characterize it as an illegal triad organization. In addition, how to deal with Xiang Qian and his son , sir, do you have an opinion?"

"I propose to issue a permanent deportation order to Xiang Qian, deport him from the country, and permanently restrict him from entering Hong Kong Island. As for Xiang Bo, let's report together, the family must be tidy." He Dingxian said very simple, but A permanent deportation order is a heavy penalty.

Because the procedures for approving the death penalty on Hong Kong Island are very troublesome, and for a person to disappear forever on Hong Kong Island, there is only a permanent deportation order in addition to the death penalty.As for life imprisonment, there are actually commutation and amnesty, and the level of punishment is not as high as the permanent deportation order.

Sentenced to life imprisonment with the power of the Xiang family, in fact, he can be released in more than ten years, and he can also remotely control the society in the prison.But deporting the Xiang family father and son is tantamount to cutting off the roots of the Xiang family, and accidents can happen to them at any time along the way.

Because the power of the Xiang family is in Hong Kong Island, and the brothers want to live on Hong Kong Island, so it is impossible to leave with the Xiang family.

"Okay." Jian Baoning glanced at He Dingxian, knowing that Sir He was going to kill Xiang Jia, but he did not refuse, but readily agreed: "I will write a report immediately to lead the triad organization and plan the murder crime, submit the document to the Governor's Office."

"Permanent deportation of a person requires the personal approval of the Governor-General."

"Thank you, sir!" He Dingxian leaned over slightly, thanking you aloud.

Jian Baoning took out a cigar, cut off the cap, handed it to the other party, cut another one slowly, lit it with a lighter, raised Erlang's legs and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling the smoke: "He sir, yesterday How many cultural relics were seized at the scene at night?"

He Dingxian leaned on the chair with a relaxed expression, exhaled smoke rings, and stared at the other party: "There are more than 300 pieces, large and small. Although the wooden box for shipping the goods is large, the packaging is actually very thick, and the space that can really be packed is limited."

"The other side doesn't dare to transport too much of this kind of thing at once. First, no one in foreign countries can eat it, and second, it is floating on the sea. If something goes wrong, it will be over."

Jian Baoning was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "Everything is in the bank vault, what do you say, how do you calculate it, next time something similar happens, can you give my people a call?"

"Ah."

He Dingxian sneered, holding his cigar, his eyes showed a stern look: "Sir Jian, am I not yours?"

"Hahaha."

Jianbao Ning laughed loudly, nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Sir He!"

"Thank you for your gift."

"A little thought." He Dingxian squinted his eyes, looked at him and said, "Cultural relics are not gold. Money is calculated by weight. In the same batch of goods, some have high prices and some have low values. I sent them to Sir Jian." They're all top-notch."

"If you don't believe me, just ask any pawn shop on Hong Kong Island. They are all famous and well-known treasures in Taibo. When the Chinese economy improves, it will become more and more valuable, enough for your family to be rich for several generations."

"Hahaha."

Jian Baoning still smiled: "I understand, I understand."

"call."

He exhaled smoke: "Thank you sir."

He Dingxian leaned against the armrest of the sofa with a cigar in his mouth, nodded and said, "I've also arranged for the goods of the other officers, don't worry, when did I fail to satisfy the officers when I split the bill?"

"Thanks for your hard work."

"He sir."

Jian Baoning smiled and said, "We depend on you for food."

"Let's go." He Dingxian suddenly lost interest in chatting with Jian Baoning, got up and left the office with the folder, and couldn't help cursing when he walked out of the office: "Damn, the ghost is really greedy!"

Jian Baoning looked at his back, and his eyes showed deep thought.

The political alliance between the two is still close and reliable. Even Yifu and other old government officials have to admit that it will be a general trend for Chinese to control the police force in the future.However, in this incident, He Dingxian completely sealed off the cultural relics and did not allow anyone to get his hands on them, which made Jian Baoning somewhat feel that he wanted to own them all.Although, in the end, Jian Baoning still got a bite of meat, but he vaguely felt that He Dingxian was sending him off, and he knew the real money that was distributed before, even if it was a silver ticket.

How can you know the true and false of such cultural relics without any accumulation?
"never mind."

"Let's find someone to test it tomorrow."

Jian Baoning thought about it and thought to himself.

night.

After seven o'clock.

He Dingxian just finished dinner at home, sitting in front of the TV, watching the English broadcast while eating fruit.Qiu Degeng held a painting box under his arm, stood at the door and pressed the electric bell: "Ding dong, ding dong."

"Mr. Qiu, please come in." The servant had already been instructed to open the door and invite the guest in.Qiu De changed his shoes carefully at the door, and then entered the door and bowed to the two ladies: "Miss Chu, Miss Luo."

Chu Yunnan and Luo Caiyun smiled back, one continued to do the work of washing the dishes, and the other turned around and went back to the room so as not to disturb the man's conversation.

Seeing him coming, He Dingxian turned off the TV, turned around and said, "A Geng, sit down."

"Thank you, big boss." Qiu Degeng bowed again on the sofa, sat down slowly, put the painting box on the table, took out a folder and said: "Big boss, the amount of goods in the vault Already counted."

"A total of 1000 two hundred and seventy-two pieces, from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, among which porcelain is the most, 72 pieces, and the rest are mainly bronze, gold, calligraphy and painting"

"it is good."

He Dingxian nodded happily, took the list and began to browse. The masters' appraisal speed is quite fast. Of course, this is due to the fact that they do not need to identify the authenticity, but only need to identify the origin and name of the goods, which greatly reduces the workload.

"The closer things are to modern times, the greater the chance of royal treasures appearing. Taibo is worthy of evacuating both Beiping and Nanjing." He Dingxian looked at the catalog and couldn't help feeling: "The things of rich people are valuable at any time. Poor things are worthless at any time."

"Antiques are not so much about accumulating value through time, it is better to say that rare things are more expensive. It is just that time makes rare things even rarer, and naturally they are more expensive. The first attribute of collectibles is scarcity."

As for the bronze wares of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the cultural value has indeed far exceeded the value of the item, but at that time, those who could use the bronze wares themselves were nobles, and they were still very scarce items.It's just that modern times are no longer scarce, leading to a decline in the value of their items, and only cultural value can be studied.

Seeing that the big boss read the list almost, Qiu De opened the painting box, took out a scroll, and said, "Big boss, this post is the most precious one among the more than 1000 cultural relics."

"Calligraphy stickers?"

He Dingxian originally thought that the painting box was a picture scroll, but just looked at the picture scrolls in the list, trying to guess which one Qiu Degeng brought.

He didn't expect it to be a book sticker, and he was not proficient in calligraphy. Apart from the famous "Lanting Collection Preface" and "Manuscript for the Memorial to Nephew", he actually didn't remember much in his head.

Qiu Degeng's beard was trembling, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Boss, this is a letter from the calligrapher Wang Xizhi, called "Quick Snow and Sunny Tie", the full text has 28 characters in four lines, and it is known as '28 Li Beads'. Although it is still controversial whether it is the authentic work of the holy book, it is the most recognized batch in the cultural relics circle, and there are seals and postscripts of Qianlong, Zhao Mengfu and others, which are authentic works for handover."

He Dingxian was also taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Wang Xizhi's original work "Quick Snow and Sunshine Post"? Old Mother Thurley, they really dare to sell it. Why don't they sell the emerald cabbage and the meat-shaped stone?"

This kind of treasure of jewelry carving art has low cultural value, and is simply copied by the royal family and the preciousness of the original stone.

Qiu Degeng said, "It may not be the authentic one, and there is still controversy, but if there is an authentic one by Wang Xizhi, it must be this one!"

"What's more, big boss, how do you know that the emerald cabbage in Taibo is not carved on the back?"

　Calvin was dead, stumbling, and was a few minutes late.
