Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

The tripod is an important weapon of all Chinese dynasties.

There has always been a saying in the collecting community that ordinary people simply cannot "hold" this thing.

What's more, it is an "important weapon" such as the "Yuwang Nine Tripods" and the "Qingzhou Tripod", of course, except for those imitated works of art by later generations.

The rest has been handed over. As for this fragment, Qian Sheng made a rubbing of its decoration and used 3D printing technology to make a one-to-one replica sample.

Lin Yi and the others have now understood the mystery. It is actually more like a primer, activating the "Location Map" behind Lin Yi. The purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to keep this fragment around.

This idea is basically the consensus among them.

During their trip to Qianzhou, Mr. Bai was not idle either.

Entrusted by Lin Yi, he has been using various means to find out more information about the person named Xu Baijiao, trying to decipher the contents of the account in the notebook.

At least don't disappoint the old man who gave them their work notes.

For Bai Shouchen, he had heard about Mr. Xu in his early years and could be regarded as his senior.

The story of the "Secret Cultural Relic Acquisition Group in Xiangjiang" was widely spread in the antique circles in Beijing. Everyone in Liulichang, young and old, knew that there was such an organization that was selling "harsh goods" in Xiangjiang and using foreign exchange to buy back "things".

I admire and envy this kind of behavior.

I admire them because they not only have a unique vision and spend their money wisely, but they also have to fight with the cultural relic dealers and desperadoes from all over the world in the territory of Hong Kong that was ruled by the British back then, and bring these national treasures that were lost overseas. Return to the country.

What they envy is that the things they have access to are first-class national treasures.

In addition to the two "Two Kings" calligraphy and "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" in the "Sanxi Hall" that was famous all over the world, there are also other works such as Dong Yuan's "Xiaoxiang Picture", Fang Congyi's "Wuyi Mountain Fangcha Picture", Northern Song Dynasty Liu's The Taoist's "Picture of Pine Wind in Ten Thousand Valleys", some Dunhuang scrolls and Song Dynasty picture albums and other treasures.

Any of these collections are priceless and rare treasures.

Although the shopkeepers in Liulichang have no intention of coveting the national treasure, they might be able to see it with their own eyes and play with it, and that would be a life worth living.

Originally, this matter was not something that was urgent.

But in the process of asking for information, Mr. Bai learned an important fact:

Before his death, Xu Baijiao sent a telegram to the relevant departments in Beijing when he participated in the repatriation of an important collection for the last time in Xiangjiang.

The content is unknown.

Just after this telegram was sent back to Beijing, Xu Baijiao himself died in a traffic accident.

This incident alarmed "Haili" for a time, and they even negotiated through diplomatic means and asked the local authorities in Xiangjiang to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The Xu family also relied on their connections and status in Xiangjiang to put a lot of pressure on the local area.

He even used his connections in "Hongmen" to investigate the matter.

But after all, Xiangjiang was not a place that we had the final say at that time, and the perpetrator of the traffic accident was also dead at that time. Judging from the subsequent investigation results, the perpetrator was just a taxi driver.

The case ended up being a cold case.

At that time, after Mr. Bai got the news, he communicated with Lin Yi about it.

They both agreed at the time that Xu Baijiao's death was most likely related to the "Purple Yihou" organization, because what the "Secret Shopping Group" did was equivalent to blocking their way of making money.

Ordinary cultural relic dealers would not dare to deal with Xu Baijiao.

It's just that Lin Yi is dealing with the Qin family's affairs in Qianzhou and can't take care of this matter for the time being.Now that the fragments of the "Qingzhou Cauldron" have been found, and the secrets of "The Map of Returning to the Mountains" have a direction and outline, there will be time to process these trivial information.

"At the beginning, the 'Xiangjiang Secret Shopping Group' had a three-person team. Xu Baijiao was the team leader and the general consultant. We also sent two people to help him.

One is Wang Yeqiu and the other is Ma Hengchu. These two were cultural relics appreciation experts at the Forbidden City Cultural Management Office. I had a chance encounter with them back then. "

"These two are definitely top figures in our industry. Mr. Wang Yeqiu is known as 'Wang Yishou' in the world. It is said that no matter what it is, he can identify the authenticity as soon as he gets his hands on it.

Mr. Ma is even called the 'Lord Ma', which means that he has amazing eyesight and can tell the secret of anything just by looking at it. "

Qian Sheng added on the side.

"Then according to what you said, Xu Baijiao is their leader, doesn't that mean he is more powerful than them? Is he still a human being?"

As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, the fan in Old Man Luo's hand was already placed on his head.

"Why do you always talk in such a weird way? He's not a human being? Could he be?"

"What kind of disciple does a master lead?"

Wang Qiang rubbed his head and muttered softly.

"Still talking back!"

Old Man Luo's fan was about to fall down again, and Wang Qiang quickly ran away.

"Xu Baijiao's eyesight is not up to par. He can't take back the dharma stickers of the 'Two Kings', nor can he take back the "Han Xizai Night Banquet". These are things that accompany you all year round. We people will never see them once in this life. , he can tell the truth from the false, isn’t that enough to explain the problem?

The reason I mention the other two is that Mr. Ma Hengchu’s son is currently working in the National Museum Archives, and I have some friendship with his brother.

This time we will use this fragment of the 'Qingzhou Cauldron' as a favor. "

"You mean we donate this fragment to the National Museum, and then give them permission to look for useful information in the archives?"

Only then did Bai Lu finally understand what they meant by "transaction".

The Qingzhou Tripod that was handed over by Chen Erwazi is now in the National Museum. If this fragment can be returned and the Qingzhou Tripod can be seen again in its complete form, it will really be considered a grand event in China.

For them, it is also a great good thing with immeasurable merit.

Use this fragment in exchange for an opportunity to enter the archives to read information, and it is not a confidential document. No one can refuse this kind of thing.

"Donations must be anonymous. The fewer people who know about it, the better. When the time comes, I will go to the archives with the third child and try to understand the relevant information as soon as possible."

"Then it's settled. I will get in touch with the National Museum of China early tomorrow morning to finalize this matter. You have been busy traveling all the way for such a long time. Go back and rest early and wait for my letter."

The three Lin Yi brothers said goodbye to the two old gentlemen and drove back to Qian Sheng's home base.

As soon as I walked in, I received a call from Mr. Wang.

Before going to Qianzhou, they asked the old man to make a replica of the embroidered shoes that they had finished. They made an appointment to inspect the goods.

"I really don't understand. Since Mr. Chang has brought this thing back for us, we have to either hide it or destroy it. Why do we have to make a few fakes?"

Lin Yi smiled mysteriously and patted him on the shoulder.

"Tomorrow let's go to Cangzhou and eat two donkeys. Then you will understand everything." (End of Chapter)
