A treasure-appraisal maniac

Two Bamboo Baskets, the eight-hundred-year old Pu'er of Hongfu, shocked Wang Zhenbang to the point of dumbfounding.

Little Red Man Di Ruilong said that was right, he had never seen this thing before. Not only had he not seen it, but he had never heard of it.

Although he has never seen it, Wang Zhenbang does not feel ashamed.

Not to mention myself, even Kong Fanlong has never heard of such a peerless treasure. .??.

This is good fortune!

Wang Zhenbang quickly covered the box with trembling hands.

After calming down, he took Lu Fei to his study.

"Xiao Fei, thank you for your gift. This thing is so rare." Wang Zhenbang said.

"As long as the old man likes it."

"Xiao Fei, you came so suddenly this time because of the treasure fight between Mr. Kong and Liu Jianhua!"

"indeed so."

"I want to find out from you the true strength of the Liu family. Knowing myself and the enemy allows me to respond in time."

"Mr. Kong has been kind to me, and I can't just sit back and ignore it," Lu Fei said.

Wang Zhenbang nodded and said with a smile.

"Mr. Kong saw you right!"

When the conversation changed, Wang Zhenbang's face turned ugly.

"Xiao Fei, to tell you the truth, Mr. Kong is having a hard time getting through this!"

"In recent years, Liu Jianhua has been dissatisfied and resentful. He has been fighting secretly with Kong Laoming and wants to take revenge on him. He is so crazy."

"revenge?"

"Is there any deep hatred between Liu Jianhua and Mr. Kong?"

Lu Fei learned about it from Zhang Yanhe and Guan Haishan.

The relationship between Liu Jianhua and Kong Fanlong is just a dispute between two great masters, but the meaning behind Wang Zhenbang's words seems to be not that simple.

Wang Zhenbang nodded and said.

"There is indeed a feud between Liu Jianhua and Mr. Kong."

"Liu Jianhua is originally from Zhili, and his ancestors ran a pawn shop. His family is very good at looking at objects."

"After liberation, Liu Jianhua wanted to join the regular army. He approached Mr. Kong many times and even wanted to become his teacher.

"

"But because of Liu Jianhua's bad background, Mr. Kong never agreed."

"Liu Jianhua tried many times to no avail, so he went to Baodao in anger."

"When Chiang Kai-shek moved south, he brought countless treasures to Treasure Island, and most of them were in the hands of people below."

"Those collections that people generally don't understand, they just sell them off if they don't do well."

"Liu Jianhua took advantage of this opportunity and made a sudden appearance after going back and forth."

"In the early years, Liu Jianhua was a cultural relic dealer."

"The means are no less than those of Lu Qinzhai back then. Countless good things were lost overseas through his hands. Therefore, Liu Jianhua accumulated a huge family fortune."

"Although there is a lot of effort outside, the real good things are collected by Liu Jianhua."

"The treasures I know about among them are enough to put Mr. Kong beyond redemption."

"oh?"

"The two of them still have such a story!"

Wang Zhenbang's words really surprised Lu Fei.

"Mr. Wang, does Liu Jianhua have any great treasure in his hands?" Lu Fei asked.

"Yes, I have!"

"Of course, let me give you a few examples."

"As far as I know, Liu Jianhua has at least three pieces of Western Zhou bronzes."

"The most valuable one among them is a Five Sacrifice Guards Cauldron. There are two hundred and seven inscriptions on that cauldron alone."

"Hiss——"

"Are you talking about the Five Sacrifice Guardian Ding that was in Jinling Huangyang Temple back then?" Lu Fei asked in shock.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to know that tripod. Your knowledge is not simple!" Wang Zhenbang said with appreciation.

Lu Fei was very familiar with the Wusi Weiding.

The tripod is thirty-seven centimeters high, thirty-five centimeters in diameter, and nearly twenty centimeters deep.

, weighing more than thirty kilograms.

It has two erect ears and three pillars. The flat edge is folded outward, and the lower abdomen is tilted outward. The outer bottom of the tripod is covered with a thick layer of soot, and the lower edge of the mouth is decorated with deformed animal body patterns filled with fine thunder patterns.

Lu Fei could clearly remember the two hundred and seven inscriptions on the tripod.

The first month of the first month of the year is Ji Gengxu.

King Weimu Bang sternly told Jingbai, Bai Yifu, Dingbai, Qingbai, and Baisufu: "Li said: 'King Yu Zhicha will work in the Shao family to rebel against the east and burn the two rivers'. He said:' Yu She Nv Tian Wu Tian

The meaning of this inscription is that in the first month of the fifth year of King Gong of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a man named Qiu Wei reported to officials such as Xing Bo, Boyi Fu, and Ding Bo that there was a land dispute between him and his neighbor Bang Junli.

After some inquiries, and with Bang Junli agreeing to pay and taking an oath, after the Sanyousi (Situ, Sima, Sikong) and Neishi conducted field surveys and demarcated the land boundaries, Qiu Wei exchanged "fields and five fields" for Bang. Jun Li approached the "Tiansi Tian" of the two rivers and settled the lawsuit.

Speaking of this tripod, there is an interesting story.

The first person to discover it was Zhu Yuanzhang's military marshal Xu Da.

It is said that Xu Da's old mother passed away due to illness, and he asked an earth master to order a Feng Shui treasure hole for her mother in Huangyang Mountain outside Jinling City.

Finally, after the location was determined, the earth was broken and the big cauldron was dug out.

People in the Ming Dynasty could not understand the inscriptions on the big tripod. They only knew that the tripod was an ancient ritual vessel and was mainly used for worship.

What are the sacrifices for?

It is nothing more than begging for peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

In ancient times, all ritual vessels used for sacrificial rituals were regarded as artifacts that communicated between heaven and earth, and were considered supreme treasures.

It was originally intended to be a secret house for my mother, but I dug up such a magical artifact.

Xu Da thought that he had destroyed the communication between heaven and earth, and was terrified.

He quickly put the big tripod back to its original place, and built a Taoist temple here to let Taoist priests take care of the big tripod.

Although this

It was an extremely absurd joke, but Dading and Taoist Temple actually preserved it.

Even Lu Fei in his previous life had witnessed it with his own eyes and even had ideas about Dading.

Later, I stepped on the plate. The Taoist temple was heavily guarded and I couldn't do anything, so I had no choice but to give up.

Unexpectedly, this cauldron, which records the lawsuits of the Western Zhou Dynasty, would fall into the hands of Liu Jianhua. This old thing is really quite talented!

With this tripod, Liu Jianhua does have a big advantage when it comes to bronzes.

Lu Fei asked next.

"Old man, besides the big cauldron, does Liu Jianhua have any other great treasures in his hands?"

Wang Zhenbang nodded and said.

"This Five Sacrifice Guarding Cauldron is just one of them."

"Liu Jianhua's collection of objects is very complete, and there are quite a lot of fine works of epigraphy, calligraphy and painting."

"The porcelain includes Zhu Yuanzhang's royal kiln plum vase with red underglaze and three friends patterns."

Wang Zhenbang told Lu Fei a lot, and every item mentioned was almost a national treasure in China.

This also gave Lu Fei a new understanding of the Liu family's collection.

Wang Zhenbang took a sip of tea and said.

"What I'm talking about is just a drop in the bucket of Liu Jianhua's collection, which is already very scary."

"What's even more difficult to deal with is that Liu Jianhua has very good relationships with collectors from various Asian countries and has interests with them."

"I'm worried that during the treasure fight, if Liu Jianhua mobilizes all his connections to collect valuable treasures to fight against Mr. Kong, he will be in big trouble."

Lu Fei nodded and agreed very much with what Wang Zhenbang said.

Lu Fei has also considered this factor. Apart from anything else, it would be too troublesome just for the islanders.

This treasure fight is obviously the result of a collusion between the Liu family and the people of the island country. By then, the important treasures of the island country will definitely be open to Liu Jianhua unlimitedly.

Not to mention other collection institutions, just Zhengsangyuan is enough to cause a headache.
