Chapter 185: When the truth is false, Jia Sizhen
The corridor is in a downward posture and is about several dozen meters long.
Electric lights are embedded on both sides, and the yellowish light illuminates the corridor clearly.
After turning a corner, the scenery changed and we arrived at the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was a stone chamber. Ah Fu fumbled around the edge of the chamber for a while and then pressed down on a brick.
"Boom." The door of the stone chamber opened inward.
A bright exhibition hall appeared in front of Chen Yang.
Stepping into the exhibition hall, it feels like traveling through time and space and arriving at an ancient art palace.
The display cabinets are filled with various antiques, including porcelain, bronze, jade, etc., which emit a mysterious glow under the soft light.
Each exhibit carries the memory of history and displays the profoundness of ancient culture.
In addition to these, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are even more intoxicating. Some are landscape scrolls, and some are calligraphy works by literati.
Chen Yang was shocked by the collections in the Fang brothers' warehouse at just one glance.
The first national treasure that catches your eye is a copy of calligraphy.
Since I came to Huangzhou, the third Cold Food Festival has already passed?
"Cold Food Post" by Su Shi or Su Dongpo?
Chen Yang subconsciously moved forward, it was really...
Placed next to the "Cold Food Post" is a picture of a galloping horse.
Ah Fu shook his head and said, "Boss, you can only look at this painting, but you can't show your head. This "Zhao Yebai" is a rare heirloom of Han Wo."
"The year before last, the antique dealer Xiao Huchen colluded with the British and wanted to take this painting to the British Museum."
"It was Uncle Ma and Fang Shijie who took action overnight and burned Xiao Huchen's warehouse."
"Xiao Huchen bribed the International Settlement Police Station and spent 100,000 yuan to find out who did it."
"If you take it out, you're selling them out."
Chen Yang shook his head and explained: "I didn't want to take this, I just wanted to take a look."
As he walked and browsed, after a long circle, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel frightened.
Oh my god, the Fang brothers are really capable. More than half of the collections here are worthy of being called national treasures.
Moreover, the Fang brothers also spent a lot of effort to collect these national treasures of calligraphy and paintings.
Just looking at this stone chamber at hand, in order to ensure that the calligraphy and paintings are not corrupted, a huge amount of energy has to be spent on its management.
Moreover, the temperature should be appropriate, neither too hot nor too cold.
No wonder these two guys are so stingy every time they share so much money, their feelings are ruined by this.
"Boss, come and have a look. This is the good stuff I'm talking about."
Ah Fu excitedly pulled Chen Yang in front of a painting. Chen Yang looked up and saw
The mountains are high and the waters are long, and there are countless objects. Only with an old brush can the clearness and strength be exhausted. On the 18th, I wrote on the terrace, Taibai.
"Li Bai's "Shangyangtai Tie" is absolutely a 100% national treasure,"
"You can hang it in the hall, it will be very impressive."
"Puchi." Chen Yang laughed and said, "Afu, if I put this up, I'm afraid people will laugh at me in less than three days."
"I can't really tell the craftsmanship of others, but I can tell Jia Sizhen's skills at a glance."
"What?" Ah Fu pointed at the calligraphy on the wall with an incredulous look on his face and asked, "You said this is fake?"
"When Jia pretends to be fake, his craftsmanship is so real that ordinary people can't tell." Chen Yang shrugged his shoulders, "Besides, what's so strange about it being fake? Not only do I know it's fake, I also know who has the real one."
"What? Boss, what did you say?" At this moment, two surprised voices sounded at the door.
Fang Shijie and Fang Shiyu walked in one after another.
"Boss, do you know who has the real 'Shangyangtai Tie'?"
"You told me I could buy it no matter how much it cost."
Haha, it turns out these two guys also know that this is a fake thing.
"That's not necessarily true." Chen Yang smiled and said, "You may be able to buy it from others with money, but in his hands, I guess it's useless even if you spend money."
"Boss, who are you talking about? I don't believe there is anyone who doesn't like money." Fang Shiyu looked disdainful.
After a long silence, Chen Yang gave a name.
"Zhang Boju."
"Ah." When the name came out, the Fang brothers were stunned at the same time.
Zhang Boju's name is very famous in the collecting world.
During the Republic of China period, there were four legendary young masters.
In addition to Zhang Boju, the other three were Puyi's cousin Aisin-Gioro, Putong, Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan Kewen, and of course, Zhang Xueliang.
At that time, these four people were not doing their jobs properly and all came from prominent families, so some people with bad intentions gathered them together and gave them this name.
However, compared with the other three, Zhang Boju can be considered an outlier.
Rumor has it that this person is a famous calligrapher and painter who loves collecting.
If there is any rare treasure, I will spend all my money to buy it.
The most famous thing about him was that he once spent 40,000 oceans to buy the rare and precious "Ping Fu Tie" from the Peking calligrapher Pu Ru. This deal almost bankrupted him.
There are also rumors that this person also has "Five Oxen" by Tang Dynasty painter Han Huang and "Spring Outing" by Sui Dynasty painter Zhan Ziqian.
"That's such a pity." When the Fang brothers heard that this thing was in Zhang Boju's hands, they immediately lamented.
In the eyes of others, "Shangyangtai Tie" is just a valuable piece of ancient calligraphy, but in Zhang Boju's eyes, it is his lifeblood.
Moreover, Zhang Boju has an excellent reputation in the collecting world.
Having said that, if Zhang Boju had not had a good reputation and never speculated in cultural relics, and had not asked Zhang Daqian to mediate, and if Fu Ru had not happened to have lost his mother and was in urgent need of money for the funeral, he would not have been able to buy a national treasure like the "Ping Fu Tie" for 4 oceans.
And now that the thing has fallen into the hands of Zhang Boju, a super collector, there is no way he can get it out.
As for the robbery...
The Fang brothers don't have the guts to confront Zhang Boju head-on. Even though Zhang Boju's family has fallen on hard times and is not as well off as before, he is still a figure who can be called one of the Four Young Masters of the Republic of China together with Zhang Xueliang. How could his background be simple?
What's more, that guy has a large group of friends, and he is a famous calligrapher and painter himself, with a great reputation in the cultural and art circles. Once you recruit him, it will not be easy to get rid of him.
If that causes public outrage, even Chen Yang won’t be able to protect him.
Moreover, Chen Yang would never allow the Fang brothers to do such a thing.
Not to mention that Zhang Boju is now in Shenyang and is out of reach. As far as Chen Yang knows about history, Zhang Boju later handed over all the cultural relics to the country.
This kind of broad-mindedness is incomparable to that of the Fang brothers.
The Fang brothers sighed, then cheered up and accompanied Chen Yang on a long tour, introducing him to the collections in the library as they walked.
After walking around for a long time, Chen Yang hesitated. The things here were too precious. If he just took them out and hung them in the room, it would be easy to damage the cultural relics if he was not careful, which would be a serious crime.
After a long silence, Chen Yang sighed, "Forget it. I won't show off these national treasures. If you have any ordinary things, give me a few."
"Ordinary stuff? Yes, there really is."
