Chapter 161 Bronze Artifact Return Plan

"You're right." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Brother, can you stop being so perfunctory?"

"It's not perfunctory." Zhang Yang said with a serious expression: "Don't you think the cover of this you (you three times) is strange?"

The you in Zhang Yang's mouth is an ancient vessel for holding wine, and later evolved into a ritual vessel.

Most of them are like the bronze ware in front of you, with a cover and a handle. At the same time, the connection between the handle and the main body is decorated with a sheep's head to indicate identity.

"What's wrong with the lid? Could it be made after?"

Chen Yanguang said something casually, but Zhang Yang nodded seriously.

It's really like the aftermath.

"There is a clear difference in the rust color of the lid and the body, obviously corroded in different soil environments."

"Besides, the color of the you body looks familiar to me." Zhang Yang muttered to himself, "Maybe it's a hole I'm familiar with."

He quickly turned on his phone and found a very important photo he took earlier.

Sure enough, the rusty color of the main body of this bronze yoke was almost the same as the appearance of the bronze gui he had seen at Tianguang Market in Yangcheng.

At least it can be confirmed that the unearthed pit mouth is in the northern part of Guangdong Province, close to Hunan Province.

At the same time, item information slowly emerged.

On a bronze you, two paragraphs of item information actually appeared on it.

The main body was produced in 977 BC;
The production time of the cover is in 2023.

Good old stuff, what's the point of putting a new lid on it?
Zhang Yang was full of doubts.

If it is just to sell at a high price, people will still buy it after removing the cover. This is an old practice to follow in the previous bronze ware transactions.

On the contrary, once it is found that the lid is a counterfeit, the whole utensil will be considered as a counterfeit, and the loss outweighs the gain.

Unless the seller is trying to cover something up!
Zhang Yang thought for a while, and quickly called Zeng Gong of the Yangcheng Museum.

It's good to have more foreign aid. After 5 minutes, he was already confident.

"Chen Sang, are you interested in taking this bronze coin back?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows at Chen Yanguang.

"Really?" Chen Yanguang took a look at the price, 25 Euros, and he instantly regained his energy.

"Maybe it's more than that. If you're lucky, you can get several tickets in vain." Zhang Yang's smile was a little evil.

"But you have to make some noise first, so that I can meet the person responsible for this shop."

"Isn't that simple? Watch me perform!"

Chen Yanguang cleared his throat, and suddenly said loudly:

"What? You say this thing is fake?"

"Yaoshou, fakes sell for 25!"

"..."

Although Chen Yanguang's performance was a bit exaggerated, and many people present probably could not understand Chinese, he still quickly became the focus of attention of all shop assistants and customers.

"This Chinese tourist, do you understand the rules of antique shops?"

A Chinese-speaking neon person in the store stood up and persuaded:

"If you think it's fake, you don't have to buy it. What if others think it's real?"

Chen Yanguang didn't want to talk to this person at first, but when he found out that the clerk didn't come up to find him, he immediately switched to a contemptuous expression, and asked back in a strange way:
"You mean, this thing could be real?"

"Hmm." The other party responded.

"How dare you! Do you know who the handsome guy next to me is?"

"He is a treasure appraisal expert recognized by the Huaxia Cultural Relics Bureau, the youngest museum curator in China, the first brother in the treasure appraisal district recognized by the Douyin platform, and has countless male and female fans..."

"Do you think his vision is good, or yours is poor?"

Standing where Chen Yanguang pointed, Zhang Yang suddenly figured out what Chen Yanguang meant by "sold you".

To be precise, they were all sold out, and he instantly became the focus of the audience.

"It's because he has a good eye...no, it's my fault...it doesn't seem right either."

"Your level, tsk tsk!"

When Chen Yanguang said this, he looked arrogant, as if Zhang Yang was not the deputy curator of Hailin Museum, but the head of the earth.

But this didn't seem to be a bad thing, because the employees of the antique shop really regarded Zhang Yang as some kind of big shot from the way he looked.

At this time, the clerk hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

With Boss Gong as the interpreter, Zhang Yang quickly explained his purpose.

"This item of yours is suspected to be a cultural relic that was illegally exported out of the country after a tomb from the Western Zhou Dynasty was robbed in January this year."

"You are selling stolen goods for criminals."

"Now I want you to quickly remove the merchandise."

"Soon our embassy in Japan will contact you to return the lost cultural relics in our country in accordance with international conventions!"

When he said this, Zhang Yang kept silent about who he was, and put his hat on the other party first.

The male clerk was stunned for a moment, and only knew:

"Hay!"

"Okay, hurry up and call your people in charge." Zhang Yang waved his hands pretending to be impatient.

Many people at the scene heard Zhang Yang and Boss Gong's words clearly, and there was a lot of discussion among the crowd for a while.

Someone walked up to the bronze you, carefully observed, and discussed with the people around;
Someone directly asked Miyuki about Zhang Yang's background;

There were even righteous neon people who directly chose to stand behind Zhang Yang and his party to show their support.

Soon, the owner of the antique shop came out, a middle-aged man wearing thin-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses.

As soon as he came up, he carried forward Neon's "craftsman spirit", bowed and apologized to everyone present, and said "private horse race".

Zhang Yang couldn't understand what the boss said later.

Boss Gong also forgot to explain, and even applauded like the audience.

When the other party came up, he remembered to tell Zhang Yang:

"This is Mr. Daisuke Tokugawa, the owner of the antique shop. He said that he will definitely assist you and investigate the matter clearly."

The development of the matter was similar to what Boss Gong said.

After Tokugawa Daisuke came up, he first bowed and apologized;
Bow again and express your thanks;
The last three bows, welcome Zhang Yang and his party to the reception room, sit down and have a good chat.

"Little days are so polite?"

Chen Yanguang muttered softly on the way to the reception room.

"It's not good for others to be polite, maybe you don't need to trouble the embassy." Zhang Yang said with a smile.

At this moment, Miyuki, who was walking behind Zhang Yang, suddenly tugged on his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yang turned his head in doubt.

Miyuki frowned and whispered to him:

"Zhang Sang, I think you should contact the Chinese embassy in Japan first."

Daisuke Tokugawa, is there a problem?

Zhang Yang subconsciously glanced behind him, and found that the way he came in, the door had been closed.

Good guy, black eat black?
Chen Yanguang just turned his head at this moment, and saw Meixue's expression.

"What happened to the kidney?"

"Is life in danger?" Zhang Yang ignored Chen Yanguang and asked Michelle in a low voice.

The latter shook his head, which relieved him.

That's right, after all, my group walked in under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Zhang Yang supported Chen Yanguang's shoulders to make him turn around, followed Daisuke Tokugawa's pace, and whispered in his ear:
"Brother Guang, call the embassy for help."

"Should I hit directly?"

"No, hit secretly. Hurry up and scream!"

Chen Yanguang understood, and immediately bent over, clutching his stomach and yelling.

"Boss Chen, what's wrong?" Gong Yonghao came up to support Chen Yanguang.

"He's about to squirt, hurry up and find the toilet." Zhang Yang explained.

Half a minute later, in the bathroom.

Chen Yanguang called the embassy in Japan:

"Help, my name is Chen Yanguang, I am a well-known rich second generation in Linhai, and my father is a billionaire."

"I'm here in Hongfa City, Kyoto, and I was kidnapped by a group of criminals from a transnational criminal group!"
