Chapter 452 Bronze Disease

After Pu Jie listened, "It seems that the Eight Swords of the King of Yue have been handed down. Tell me, should we go to Hongchang?"

Hongchang County is the westernmost county under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou City, whether it is far or near.

"You mean, want to see if there's anything else?"

"Yeah! Maybe a lot of things were dug up. It's just that the 'Striking Salamander' is the most eye-catching, and there are rumors about it."

"I don't think it's necessary. This place may have been stared up and down. Don't get fishy if you can't eat fish."

Pu Jie thought for a while, "Well, it's okay to go for a stroll, right?"

"Let me inquire from above first." Yu Yao said, "You are also stable."

"Okay." Pu Jie got up, "I'll go out and buy a pack of cigarettes."

Yu Yao thought to himself, the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau must have known about this, but even if they knew, they still had to communicate with He Wenguang.

He Wenguang answered the phone very quickly. Hearing what Yu Yao said, "Zheng Chu is already in Hongchang, and this matter has not been finalized yet. However, according to the results of the investigation, the Baojiang Society had an ancient sword as an offering. Specifically, It’s hard to say if it’s not the ‘Scared Salamander’. As for the situation at the bottom of the river, we are also investigating.”

After a pause, He Wenguang said again, "I didn't want to tell you about this until the news was confirmed."

"Okay, as long as you know, I can't help you with this matter."

"I will contact you as soon as I have news."

"I want to go for a stroll in Hongchang, are you okay?" Yu Yao asked.

"Not only is it okay, but it's also quite good. The relevant river area has been blocked by the relevant departments. If you can inquire about some gossip in the local circle, it may be useful. It's up to you."

"Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Pu Jie also came back, walked in and gave Yu Yao a cigarette, "How is it? Is there any news from above?"

"The higher-ups are investigating, Jiangyu has been blocked, but it doesn't matter if we go or not."

"Then we won't go." Pu Jie said suddenly.

"Huh? Don't you want to go?"

"The river area is blocked, who dares to sell things there? We have no acquaintances in Hongchang." Pu Jie's thinking is quite clear.

"Okay, then don't think about it." Yu Yao took a drag on his cigarette, and at this moment he glanced at the door, and suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looking into the store.

Making eye contact with Yu Yao, the middle-aged man smiled mischievously, pushed the door open and entered.

"Hello!" Yu Yao stepped forward to meet him and greeted him.This person was wearing a blue windproof suit and was carrying a black backpack in his hand.

"Is there a guest?" The middle-aged man asked, his voice was high and thin, which matched his sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked appearance quite well.

"We are doing business together." Yu Yao simply explained, "Is this to look at things, or do you have something to sell?"

The middle-aged man walked to the counter, "I got something by chance, and I want to exchange it for two dollars."

"Come on, sit down and talk." Yu Yao nodded, and winked at Pu Jie, who went over and locked the store door.

Letting the middle-aged man to the Eight Immortals table on one side of the room, Yu Yao tidied up his hands, shook a piece of cotton cloth and spread it on the table, "I see that you are dusty, so let's put your things here. The counter is facing the door , and it’s not convenient.”

The middle-aged man smiled and gave a thumbs up, "The boss is the boss!"

Yu Yao and the middle-aged man sat opposite each other at the Eight Immortals table, Pu Jie went over and sat aside, and handed the middle-aged man a cigarette.

The middle-aged man looked at the cigarette case, "Da Chongjiu, good cigarette, thank you!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, the middle-aged man stretched out his hand to open his backpack, slipped out a black plastic bag from it, placed it on the cotton cloth of the Eight Immortals table, and then made a "please" gesture.

Yu Yao untied the plastic bag, pulled it open and saw that there was a bronze vessel inside, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The transactions in the antique shop, not to mention the authenticity, the bronze ware transaction has the most rules and regulations, and if it is not done well, it may step on the thunder.

But since it was brought, you have to look at it first, Yu Yao got up to get a pair of gloves, and then took the bronze vessel out of the plastic bag.

Judging from the shape, this is a beast-mask lei (lei) from the Shang Dynasty. It is about [-] centimeters high. There are cross holes facing each other, string patterns on the neck and ring feet, and animal face patterns on the shoulders and the main body of the abdomen.

Gou, mainly used as wine vessels and ritual vessels, has two main shapes: round and square.The 罍 mainly existed in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the shape changed from thin and tall to short and thick. In addition, the fang 罍 only appeared in the late Shang Dynasty.

Pu Jie looked at this bronze shackle, his eyes couldn't help but change.He tossed a lot of bronze remnants, and his foundation in this area is not bad.He couldn't see anything wrong with this shackle for a moment.

If it is a bronze urn from the mid-Shang Dynasty, it is not an ordinary object!

The most important thing is that this 罍 looks like a living pit, just unearthed not long ago, such a thing, I dare not collect it randomly!

After Yu Yao finished reading, he quickly tied the black plastic bag again, took off his gloves and still put them on the cotton cloth, and said very directly, "Dude, this thing is a raw hole! My small shop is not so big. Two catties!"

The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, "Don't worry, it didn't come from Tu Fuzi! Besides, I didn't go to a crowded place like Seven Star Bridge. This is your first store!"

"Oh? It couldn't be dug out from the vegetable garden, right?" Yu Yao asked.

The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "It came out of a puddle. The silt was cleared from the river, and they got into the car together with the silt. It was discovered and taken out after it was dumped at the processing station."

Originally, Yu Yao was just asking casually, but when he heard the dredging, "Could it be Hong Chang?"

"You know! Yes! Hongchang cleared the silt, and I heard that a sword was also produced! But that happened on the spot. This is different, and there will be no problems!"

Yu Yao thought to himself, Hong Chang has already been targeted by the relevant departments, no wonder he will sell it in Jiangzhou, and he dare not go to a big market like Qixingqiao.

"Bronze wares are too hot to touch, do you have anything else in there?" Pu Jie interjected at this time.

"No, no. In fact, there was news about a sword, and I got this one by chance." The middle-aged man suddenly became a little vigilant, and put a black plastic bag in one hand, "I am sincere enough , Having said so much, do you want it or not?"

Yu Yao thought for a while, and probably couldn't ask anything, "Brother, I really can't accept this thing."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately put the black plastic bag back into his backpack, "Okay, pretend I'm not here."

Pu Jie glanced at Yu Yao, Yu Yao waved his hand, and after the middle-aged man got up, he followed him out the door.

After the middle-aged man left, Yu Yao wrapped the gloves with cotton cloth on the table, put them in a plastic bag, tied them up, and threw them into the trash, before washing his hands again.

"Isn't it?" Pu Jie's eyes widened.

"Why not? This man has bronze disease!"
