Wen Zuoxuan did not answer Zhang Tingzhong's words, but handed the porcelain to Cheng Shi and said with a smile.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think of this?!"
Cheng Shi didn't do much research on this, but he still reached out his hands and carefully took the porcelain into his hands!
He carefully touched it with his hand and looked at the label on the bottom of the bottle. Soon, he felt a thick and real feeling!
Although Cheng Shi had never played with any real antiques, he had come across many such imitations in modern times!
This was obviously different from what he had encountered before. Coupled with Wen Zuoxuan's detailed explanation, Cheng Shi was already sure that this was true!
Moreover, in this era, fake antiques and real antiques are about half and half, and it is probably difficult to find quality fakes!
Unlike in modern society, fake antiques are everywhere, causing many people to think that they are fakes when they see the genuine ones!
Vice versa, sometimes, you don’t need a treasure appraiser at all. When you really see it a lot, you can easily identify fake ones!
A story about antiques, that is, when Wang Guowei invited Puyi to his home, Puyi happily agreed!
After the two had dinner, Wang Guowei took out his collection and showed it to Puyi. Puyi frowned when he saw it!
I told Wang Guowei very tactfully: There is something wrong with your collection. It is a little different from what I have at home.
Wang Guowei was a little surprised, so he took these collections to find knowledgeable people to identify them, and found that they were indeed fake.
Wang Guowei didn't understand, so he asked Puyi. Puyi smiled and said that he just felt it was different from what he had at home.
Living in an environment like Puyi's, everywhere you see and touch, there are priceless things at every turn!
There is no need for the so-called ability to detect treasures. He can feel the difference of an object just by looking at it and touching it!
Real things are used a lot, and fake things are obvious at a glance. Those things that easily cost tens of millions are ordinary necessities for people!
He doesn't know how to identify treasures, he just always uses real things!
When those treasure appraisal experts appraise treasures, they follow the step-by-step process to identify authenticity and age!
At that time, because of them, they were accustomed to the prevalence of fakes in modern times, and there were very few genuine products, so they naturally regarded the genuine products as treasures!
How is it like Puyi? Today's national treasure was just a common thing that he played with in his hands.
Cheng Shi's eyes, which had seen countless fakes, made him feel that this porcelain had a very real feel!
Coupled with Wen Zuoxuan's detailed explanation, Cheng Shi finally said: "Although I don't understand this very well, I can still feel that this should be a genuine product!"
After Zhang Tingzhong listened to Cheng Shi's words, he said coldly: "Since this is true! You two should just pick up your things and leave!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and said: "I know that the ancestors of the Zhang family are officials and scholars, but how did I know that Mr. Zhang has such no foresight?!"
Zhang Tingzhong was a little angry after hearing this. Just when he was about to get angry, he remembered that the other party just said that he was from a scholarly family, so he endured it again!
Zhang Tingzhong said in a cold voice: "Agent Cheng, what do you mean by this?!"
Cheng Shi thought that most of these antiques would be sold to foreigners, because in this era, except for those very few people!
Nowadays, foreigners will buy these antiques. After all, antiques are gold in prosperous times and gold is in troubled times. People in the whirlpool are looking at gold!
He still wanted to give the other party a warning and said: "Your antiques will naturally be sold out one day, so it's better to do some profitable business!"
Zhang Tingzhong said coldly: "I don't have to worry about this, Agent Cheng!"
Cheng Shi continued to shake his head and said: "Well, I mean, I just want to know what secret he wants to steal!
As for the details of the secret, I don’t want to know. The more you don’t tell me, the more curious I will be and want to know!
If I publish my investigation to the newspapers, the people of Shanghai will be very interested in the Zhang family's family affairs! "
Cheng Shi looked at Zhang Tingzhong who was thinking, stood up quickly and said, "Of course, Mr. Zhang, if you don't care, just pretend I didn't say anything?!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tingzhong quickly stood up and stopped Cheng Shi, and said in confusion: "Agent Cheng, stay here. After you find out, you really won't spread the word. I don't want to get into any trouble now?!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has no other choice now. Of course, it won't do me any good to spread the word. I'm just trying to solve the case!"
Zhang Tingzhong thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, I say, Xiao Zhou, you go down first!"
Xiao Zhou, who was behind Zhang Tingzhong, understood that they didn't know what happened next, and quickly turned around and left the living room!
Zhang Tingzhong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The thief did come here for a secret, because when he was caught, he had nothing valuable on him.
He only stole one book, which may contain a secret. My father told me that there is a secret in it that has existed since the Qing Dynasty! "
Cheng Shi's heart moved, could it be that this is what they were after?
Wen Zuoxuan, who was beside Cheng Shi, finally broke out of his indifferent state and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Could it be that there are some treasures left behind by the Qing Dynasty?!"
Zhang Tingzhong smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "How could this be possible? If there really is such a treasure, how could it fall into the hands of my grandfather!"
Wen Zuoxuan stared at Zhang Tingzhong with squinted eyes. After a while, he returned to his calm state and said with a smile.
"This is true, otherwise, you wouldn't make a living by selling antiques!"
After Zhang Tingzhong passed by, he coughed awkwardly, nodded and said: "You are right, but my father said that this is something very important to a secret organization!"
A flash of light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he stared at Zhang Tingzhong quietly. He wanted to see if Zhang Tingzhong's words were true!
Zhang Tingzhong smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and then said: "You may all suspect that what I said is false, but it is indeed true!
It's just that there is a code in the book, and my father has found many people, but he has no intention of cracking it!
So I didn’t pay much attention to that thing. It wasn’t until a year and a half ago when the thief came to steal it that I thought about it again! "
Cheng Shi also took a sip of tea and continued: "Then how did your father get this thing?!"
Zhang Tingzhong shook his head and said softly: "He never told me this. When my father left, I was only seven years old!
He just told me that this was something he got when he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. It was related to some organization. I don’t know the rest! "
ps: Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, an official title in the Qing Dynasty. He was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and other places in charge of military affairs, food and salary, and governor affairs!
It was first established during the Ming Dynasty of China and was in charge of the military and civilian affairs of Guangdong (including present-day Hainan Province) and Guangxi Provinces. By the Qing Dynasty, it had become one of the nine most senior feudal ministers.
