Chapter 383
Seeing that it was Xiao Ying's caller ID, Yu Yao couldn't help but think of "Tai Yan" from "Xuan He".

After answering the phone, Yu Yao couldn't help but said, "Let me ask something first, Xu Taiyan has big palm eyes, has the word or name 'Xuan He' ever been used?"

Xiao Ying couldn't help being taken aback, "It seems that if I don't fight, you will too? I have never heard of such a name; however, it seems that Da Zhangyan didn't call himself Xu Taiyan when he was young, and only used the name Xu Taiyan when he entered the antique world. got this name and is well known in the industry.”

Yu Yao pondered, "He was born in the late Qing Dynasty, so he should have a name and a character; but in the information that can be found, there is only 'Xu Taiyan', and I don't know whether it is a name or a character."

"I know, and indeed this is the only one. My father mentioned the former name to me, but he didn't know what it was. What? Have you found any relevant clues?"

Yu Yao responded, "I got a piece of calligraphy, which was given to 'Xuanhe Xiandi' by Yi Peiji, the first director of the Palace Museum. The one who specially wrote it as a gift must not be an ordinary person. But after much deliberation, there was no one called 'Xuan He' during the Republic of China."

After hearing this, Xiao Ying suddenly shouted, "I've heard of this!"

"You also know this calligraphy?"

"Not this. I mean, I've heard of Yi Peiji's relationship with Mr. Xu Taiyan. And in 1937, before transferring Taidian Fangding to Jiangzhou, Mr. Xu Taiyan went to Shanghai to see Yi Peiji; not long after, Yi Peiji died of illness!"

"Ah?" Yu Yao thought for a while, "This calligraphy was received by someone in Jiangzhou! Could it be that when Mr. Xu Taiyan visited Yi Peiji in Shanghai, Yi Peiji wrote it for him? ? Then, he came to Jiangzhou with this calligraphy, and lost it accidentally?"

Xiao Ying also thought about it, "If it can be confirmed that Xuan He is the name used by Mr. Xu, then it is very possible!"

"Well, let me ask about the origin later. The loss of this calligraphy may have something to do with Taidian Fangding." Yu Yao nodded, "Tell me about your business. Is there any news from Hankou?"

"I'm in Hankou."

"Ah? Didn't you say it together? Why did you go by yourself?"

"It happened in a hurry, but I'm going back to Yuzhou soon."

"Could it be that the clue is broken?"

"How should I put it. I found that Li Gang; I also inquired about the origin of the jade pendant. It should be lost by Xu Changan, but the clue to Xu Changan's final whereabouts is indeed broken."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't need to start the investigation process. I will tell you the results and inferences." Xiao Ying said, "In Hankou, Mrs. Xu's younger brother, Xu Chang'an's uncle, was robbed and killed. The year-old Xu Changan was sold to traffickers."

When Yu Yao heard this, his heart sank.

Xiao Ying went on to say, "This jade pendant was obtained by human traffickers and sold to a silver house in Hankou called Fengxiang. Fortunately, the shopkeeper's youngest son liked it very much and kept it and passed it down. It has been passed down to this generation, so life is tight It was sold off. In the end, it was taken away by Li Gang and sent to an antique shop."

"That is to say, you have found the descendants of the shopkeeper of Fengxiang Silver Building?" Yu Yao couldn't help interjecting.

"Not only did we find the descendants of the shopkeeper, but we also found a descendant of a national army soldier. Xu Chang'an was lucky. Before the trafficker could sell, he was rescued by a team of a certain national army passing through Hankou, but , when the war was tight, this team wanted to continue marching, so Xu Changan was sent to a local family in Hankou."

After hearing this, Yu Yao thought to himself, how could this break the clue again?Before Xiao Ying finished speaking, he didn't speak again, and continued to listen.

"Originally, this is good news, but this family has a child, and because Xu Changan was frightened, he often seems a little dazed. After the army left, he didn't want to adopt him anymore, so he gave it to a distant relative who has no wife and no children. But this distant relative left Hankou with the child. This is where the clues were cut off, because the distant relative lost contact.”

"Then who is the name of this distant relative, and where did he go?"

"If the couple of that family were alive back then, they would have known about it, but it has been several generations, and they can no longer tell their names. As for their whereabouts, I only know that they went south to seek refuge with friends." Xiao Ying sighed, "Time It's been too long, and it was a turbulent time..."

Yu Yao nodded, "It's very rare for you to be able to find so many people and sort out so much information from a piece of jade pendant."

"Although the clue is broken, it's still a step forward, so let it be." Xiao Ying said, "Xu Changan was frightened, maybe he doesn't remember anything, and it is very likely that he has a new name. If you want to find him and his descendants, you can only rely on luck."

"Well. It's hard to talk about luck. Who would have thought that I would get this jade pendant from the old Wang next door!"

The two sighed, and after exchanging a few more words, they hung up the phone.

Yu Yao was about to call Lao Huang to ask if he had any other clues about this calligraphy, when He Wenguang called.

"Good news!" He Wenguang has always been concise and to the point, "Is it convenient for you to talk?"

"It's convenient, I'm alone in the store."

"According to the results of our investigation, the Taidian Fangding of the provincial museum and the Taidian Fangding of Qianhe Art Museum are most likely fake!"

In fact, this is not good news, but they have known for a long time that the Taidian Fangding of the Dongjiang Provincial Museum is not real, and now if they can confirm that the one of the Waguo Qianhe Art Museum is also fake, relatively speaking, it will be an extra card.

"What about the real tripod?"

"The true cauldron should be hidden among the people now!" He Wenguang said, "We will continue to investigate!"

"Hiding the folks? Why hasn't there been any movement for so many years?" Yu Yao frowned, "He Suo, if you have more time, why don't you give me a rough overview?"

"Okay, let me make a long story short. When Xu Taiyan donated the Taidian Fangding, the soldiers were actually divided into three groups, and two of them came to Jiangzhou; Jiangzhou Municipal Library and Dongjiang Provincial Public Education Center."

"There is another road, which is Xu Taiyan himself, but he went to Shanghai. These three roads each hold a Taidian square tripod, two fake and one real, in order to deal with Nakatani Yasujiro and military spies from the Japanese kingdom."

Hearing this, Yu Yao couldn't help but take a look at the hanging picture of "Unique Wisdom Eyes", and suddenly a faint thought appeared.

"The age is too long, and a lot of information is incomplete, but we can roughly deduce something." He Wenguang said, "Mr. Xu Taiyan should have personally brought the real tripod, and he will be temporarily stationed in Shanghai, and the other two fake tripods will be in Jiangzhou. Pioneer', to test the movements of the Wa people."
