Big man

Wang Yan waved back.

The two attendants opened the lockbox and the large trolley bag, and saw a large bag of shredded paper and foam.Shipping valuables is like this.The attendants carefully took out the "fresh old things" and placed them on the yellow rosewood desk.

On these old objects, there is still an obvious earthy and stale smell.

Experts like Xiao Fan and Liu Mo can tell at a glance that the antiques brought by Wang Yan should come from the tombs of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and they are from the period of Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty they just talked about.

Because Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty believed in Taoism to the point of obsession, many officials during Shizong's period also worshiped Taoism very much. When he was buried, there were a large number of Taoist artifacts among the funeral objects.

Among the batch of cultural relics brought out by Wang Yan's attendants, there are two gossip bronze mirrors, but the diameter is much larger than the bronze mirror Xiao Fan just gave to Liu Mo, about 24 centimeters.

And a whisk.

For these things, Xiao Fan just scanned them lightly, without reaching out.

In the eyes of ordinary cultural relics merchants, these are also good things, and once they change hands, they will be a huge profit from the price difference.

Xiao Fan didn't care, but took a closer look at the thin young follower with a sick face, and seemed to be more interested in this follower.The young attendant also seemed to notice that Xiao Fan was looking at him, raised his head, grinned at Xiao Fan, and wiped his sweat with his hand.

It seemed that his body was indeed relatively weak, but he didn't know why such a thin and thin young man was chosen as a personal servant by such a burly man like Wang Yan, and what he did was to rob tombs.

Like Xiao Fan, Liu Mo was not very interested in the things he took out of his trolley bag.

To present treasures in Liu Baye's "Moxuan", this is a bit inferior.

But it seems that for Wang Yan's face, Liu Mo picked up a folding fan.This folding fan was taken out of the lockbox. Even though it was just unearthed, the bones of the fan remained intact and looked brand new.

Liu Baye opened the folding fan, his eyes lit up.

The landscape painted on the surface of this folding fan is simple in style, bleak in mood, and a sense of sadness blows over my face.On the side of the mountains and rivers, there are four poems inscribed--there is no harm in being born in the sun, and returning to the underworld after death.Yangjian and Difu are all similar, just drifting in a foreign land.

"Is this... Tang Yin's real work?"

Liu Baye carefully looked at the desolate landscape on the fan and the four poems inscribed on it, muttering to himself, seeing Xiao Fan on one side, he passed the folding fan over with both hands.

"Young Master, do you give an appraisal?"

"Mr. Liu thinks it's authentic, so it must be authentic."

Xiao Fan said with a smile, but he was not polite, and reached out to take the folding fan from Liu Mo.Just because of the brand newness of this folding fan, it is difficult for people to connect it with the ancient relics hundreds of years ago. In the eyes of ordinary cultural relics appraisers, they would throw it back just by looking at it.

[-]% fake.

But with Liu Mo's vision, how could Tang Yin's authentic works not be identified?

But after Xiao Fan took the folding fan, his face showed the same astonishment as Liu Mo.Tang Yin's works are treasured in the secret room of Zhishui Temple. Judging from the few landscape paintings on the folding fan, no matter the style, style, or charm, they are indeed Tang Bohu's authentic works.

Tang Yin, the first of the four great talents in Wuzhong, is very famous. He is a master of landscape painting and figure painting. He followed the example of Li Tang and Liu Songnian in landscape painting. , the layout is sparse and the style is elegant and handsome.

But this does not mean that Tang Yin's landscape paintings all have the same style.

The artistic conception of this painting is extremely sad and desolate, it should be done by Tang Yin in his later years.

Most of the world's understanding of Tang Yin comes from a nonsensical and funny movie "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" by a famous comedian in Hong Kong.

Tang Bohu played by the comedian is a typical "tall, rich and handsome".

But in fact, Tang Yin in the real history had a lot of fate. Not to mention three wives and four concubines, eight wives, etc., the only wife quarreled with him because he couldn't bear the extremely poor life, and finally divorced him. and go.Tang Yin can only make ends meet by selling paintings.Especially in his later years, he was seriously ill and could not paint frequently, and his life was even more difficult. He often had to rely on his friends Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming to help him.

However, the biggest problem with this folding fan is not the landscape, but the four lines of the poem.

That is Tang Yin's desperate poem, written when he was dying.

It's hard to imagine that a dying person would still have the mood and strength to write a fan, and inscribe his death poem on the fan.

But judging from the brushwork and artistic conception of those four lines of poems, it is really written by Tang Yin.

Undoubtedly authentic!

Xiao Fan stretched out his right hand and put it on the fan bone, with his eyes slightly closed, he stroked it slowly with a dignified expression.

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at Xiao Fan intently.

A look of surprise appeared on Wang Yan's face.

Xiao Fan's action seemed familiar to Wang Yan.I remember that if Liu Mo encounters an antique that is difficult to hold, he will make the same movement, not looking at it with his eyes, but touching it with his hands, as if he can really feel the "soul" of the antique.

These two are really similar.

"Mr. Liu, it's the real thing, but..."

Xiao Fan slowly stroked the fan with his right hand. After a while, he opened his eyes and said.

"But what?"

Before Liu Mo could answer, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask, with a somewhat apprehensive look on his face.Among the gadgets he brought here today, this folding fan is the most precious. It has been identified by experts, and it is undoubtedly the authentic Tang Bohu.If Liu Mo's approval is not obtained, the business will be ruined.One can imagine the depression of digging up things from the tombs of the ancients, but not selling them for a good price.

Looking at it now, this "Xiao Yishao" seems to have some doubts about this folding fan.

"Brother Wang, who is the owner of this fan?"

Xiao Fan didn't answer, but asked instead.

Wang Yan shook his head again and again, and said: "Xiao Yishao, I'm sorry, I really don't know about this, I only know that he was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty, but there is no tombstone, and there is nothing famous from the funeral objects... To be honest, This is the first time I have come across such a situation. It seems that the owner of this tomb is deliberately concealing his identity."

"Where is the location?"

Xiao Fan asked again.

"This one……"

Wang Yan suddenly looked embarrassed, and glanced at Liu Mo.

Usually, the rules in their line of work only ask whether the object is true or not, not where it came from.Especially grave robbers, they will not easily reveal their whereabouts.If it wasn't for Liu Baye's illustrious reputation in the capital's antique circle, there had never been any incidents in the transaction with Liu Baye, and Wang Yan would not have taken out these objects in front of other people.

Xiao Fan's question really violated their big taboo.

Because of Liu Baye's face, Wang Yan was not easy to get angry, but his face naturally became not so good-looking.

Liu Mo said lightly, "Brother Wang, whenever I ask you something, you just answer it."

These words sound ordinary, but the meaning of the threat is extremely clear.Obviously, if Wang Yan hesitated in front of "Xiao Yishao", he might be in big trouble.

Liu Baye is not willing to provoke someone, even someone who can't afford it. You, Wang Yan, are a tomb robber, it is best not to try to offend him.

Wang Yan's complexion changed, and he exchanged a glance with the thin and sickly-faced attendant, then he became rather tough, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Liu, this is the rule of our business. , I can't break my rules!"

As he spoke, he bowed his hands.

Wang Yan's attitude suddenly became tough, which was a bit unexpected, and what was even more unexpected was that Liu Baye's face changed slightly, instead of being angry, he scolded Wang Yan, but looked at Xiao Fan, showing a bit of embarrassment look.

Xiao Fan just laughed, and said to Wang Yan: "Brother Wang, it doesn't matter if you don't say anything, I have no malicious intentions. Besides, you can't decide this matter, and I won't force you."

Wang Yan stood up suddenly, full of momentum.

He was more than 1.9 meters tall, and his figure was extremely burly. Standing there, he was almost as big as two Xiao Fans. His eyes were round and staring straight at Xiao Fan, his face full of anger.

"Xiao Yishao, what do you mean?"

The atmosphere in "Mo Xuan" suddenly became extremely tense.

Liu Mo's face darkened, he hummed softly, and his eyes narrowed, as if he didn't expect things to suddenly turn out like this.

Wang Yan was furious, in Liu Mo's eyes, it was nothing.Regardless of Wang Yan's tall, burly, and extraordinary courage, Liu Baye didn't care.Like Wang Yan, Liu Baye can easily cook two or three.

Liu Baye is famous in the capital, how can he be a man who has earned his fame!

The key is that the person standing behind Wang Yan is too difficult to mess with. Even compared with Xiao Fan, Liu Mo is not a good choice.Otherwise, with a tomb robber like Wang Yan, how could he appear in "Mo Xuan" and enjoy certain VIP treatment.

Xiao Fan was still smiling, and didn't even look at the aggressive Wang Yan, his eyes slowly fell on the face of the thin and thin young follower, and he said calmly: "This gentleman has a big name, and he has been pretending for so long. Are you tired?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's face changed drastically.

Wang Yan's huge body shook slightly, clenched his fists, and naturally stopped in front of the thin young man, glaring at Xiao Fan.

A smile flashed across Liu Mo's mouth quickly, and his face became a little lighter.

Xiao Yishao is Xiao Yishao, and the precision of this person's vision is indeed admirable.

Song Wan thought he was pretending so well.

Let's see how Song Wan, who likes to pretend to be aggressive when nothing happens, will deal with Xiao Fan.

"Wang Yan, step back."

The next moment, the thin and frail young follower slowly straightened up, the original humble and cautious expression suddenly disappeared, replaced by a faint, seemingly absent smile, with a rather cynical expression.

"Yes!"

The giant man Wang Yan seemed to have a lot of respect for this thin and weak follower. Hearing this, he bowed, and then strode back to the side, adopting the posture of a follower.

Song Wan clasped his fists at Xiao Fan, and said calmly: "Xiao Yishao, my name is Song Wan. People in our line of work wear their heads on their belts, so we have to be careful, and let Yishao and Ba Ye laugh." (unfinished to be continued.)
