Play treasure master

Chapter 347

In Tu Yuanshan's notes, the records are relatively brief, and some parts are even replaced by one or two words, so Yu Yao has to make extended inferences.

While Yu Yao was concentrating, Tu Wenhai's wife came back with a big bag of fruits, vegetables, meat and eggs.

After some introductions and explanations, Yu Yao thought that he couldn't read it with peace of mind here, so he asked if he could borrow it and send it back after reading it.Fortunately, he said that he is an antique dealer, and it is not abrupt to mention that he is interested in the culture of the Republic of China.

Tu Wenhai was very happy with Fu Qingzhu's painting, so he agreed immediately.Before Yu Yao took it away, he specially searched with Tu Wenhai and found that there was nothing else in between, so he said goodbye and left.

Back upstairs at home, Yu Yao found out a pen and paper, while reading, recorded, and also annotated what he deduced.

In the notes, whether Tu Yuanshan met this mysterious person was not mentioned; whether he reported to the curator was not mentioned, but he only mentioned "the cooking is considered good, but he can't sleep at night".

However, Tu Yuanshan was just a young man who had just grown up back then, and he didn't have any complicated experiences. Yu Yao didn't believe that he could "properly" handle such a difficult matter.

Yu Yao guessed for a while, he probably didn't report to the curator, but went to meet this person alone; at the same time, he pretended not to know about this matter during the meeting, and in the end the other party didn't continue to pester him, so he felt "appropriate".

The next record is August 1937, 8, which is three days later.

On this day, Taidian Fangding was officially accepted by the Dongjiang Provincial Library.

The reception ceremony is so secretive that it cannot even be called a ceremony.Tu Yuanshan was not eligible to participate, and he didn't know who participated except the curator; on the other hand, he didn't know how many donors came.

However, the people from the Department of History and Museum, led by the director, looked at the tripod together after the ceremony.Tu Yuanshan didn't have the eyesight to judge the authenticity, but just felt that "there is a feeling of being a heavy weapon".

The next day, this matter appeared in the newspaper, saying that Mr. Xu Taiyan, a great collector, donated a heavy bronze vessel from the Shang Dynasty, the Taidian Fangding, which was confirmed by provincial map experts.But the whole actually only stated an outline, and the specific process is unclear.

Tu Yuanshan was shocked, because he received a call from "Mr. E", why is the donor now Xu Taiyan?
He didn't need to go to the curator, so the curator talked to him first, explaining that the caller was arranged by Mr. Xu, and the veil could only be lifted after the dust settled.

As for what happened afterwards, there is no need to check the general context, as it can also be seen in the introduction of Taidian Fangding in the Dongjiang Provincial Blog.

This matter has come to an end, but in Tu Yuanshan's notes, there is still a follow-up.

On the day Taidian Fangding was donated, he heard from a friend who worked in the Jiangzhou Municipal Library that their library had also received a call to donate Taidian Fangding; , Dongjiang Provincial People's Education Center also received a call!
There are three units in total.But in the end, only the Dongjiang Provincial Library was made public.

Because this friend is in the Jiangzhou Municipal Library, so there is more internal information. It is said that the municipal library once set up a team to deal with this matter; moreover, this team should have contacted the other party, but I don’t know why it didn’t work out, and Then keep silent.

This paragraph belongs to hearsay, so the description is very brief.However, in the end, Tu Yuanshan concluded: It may be possible, just in case, cunning "tool" three caves.

The whole notebook, about Taidian Fangding, is only a few pages in total, and some of them are staggered; The content of the matter, presumably he also put an end to this matter.

Closing the notebook, putting down the pen and paper, Yu Yao came to the balcony, opened the window, lit a cigarette in the cold wind, combined with what Yuan Chunwang said before, and roughly sorted it out.

In Jiangzhou at that time, the Wa people hadn't called yet, but in Jiangzhou City, there were probably Chinese people who were working for the Wa people.The mysterious person who called Tu Yuanshan might be.

From Xu Taiyan and Yi Tiehan's point of view, the high imitation has already been made, and it is inevitable that two tripods, one real and one fake, will be shipped at the same time to deceive people.

However, according to new clues, whether it is Yuan Chunwang's "three Taidian Fang Ding" or Tu Yuanshan's note "all three units received calls", it shows that Xu Taiyan and Yi Tiehan probably "overweighted" at that time !If two false one true, more confusing.

This also shows that the situation at that time was very serious.The people of Japan, especially Yasujiro Nakatani, stared at this tripod.

The secret treasure of the Ghost Eye Gate happened before this incident; Taidian Fangding should have been too late to put in after it was obtained.Otherwise, such a heavy weapon will not be "displaced".

This is back to the old question, such a careful arrangement of falsehood and reality, why did the Taidian Fangding displayed in the Dongjiang Provincial Museum become a fake?
In the end, the ones received by the Dongjiang Provincial Library were fake?Or was the package transferred after receiving it?
And the other fake tripod is in the current Qianhe Art Museum?Or, destroyed or missing?
If the Taidianfang Ding in Qianhe Art Museum is also a fake, then where is the real tripod?

Yu Yao put out his cigarette, went back to the room and sat down again, picked up a pen and began to draw on the paper.

The Jiangzhou Municipal Library, the Dongjiang Provincial Public Education Center, and the two units have been underlined thickly.

Because the Dongjiang Provincial Library is the "origin", He Wenguang and the others may have investigated it long ago; but these two units must not have been, and this should be the focus of the next investigation.

After marking the key points, Yu Yao conveniently folded the paper he had recorded, and stuffed it into the inner pocket of the coat that was hanging.

As soon as it was put away, the doorbell rang. Yu Yao looked through the cat's eyes and saw that it was Tu Wenhai's wife. He quickly took his notebook and opened the door.

"I'm sorry, auntie, I've been watching it for a while, and I just finished it." Yu Yao said after opening the door, only then did he notice that she was carrying a thermos bucket in her hand.

"Oh, why are you in a hurry with an old book? Take a look! Auntie made dumplings, pork and shepherd's purse stuffing, just out of the pot, I'll bring you to taste!" Tu Wenhai's wife forced the thermos into Yu Yao's mouth. In his hand, he turned around and was about to leave, "I'll get the thermos later!"

"Auntie, I really finished reading it, thank you so much for taking it back!" Yu Yao said hastily.

"Is it really over?"

"Really! And this dumpling, what a shame..."

"You're welcome, we're all neighbors! Come down whenever you need something, come to the house!" After Tu Wenhai's wife took the notebook, he gently pushed Yu Yao, while trying to close the door for him.Yu Yao hurriedly supported her and walked out the door to see her off.

After seeing off Tu Wenhai's wife, Yu Yao looked at the thermos, showing an awkward smile, and said to himself that he should contact the auction first before eating.
