Chapter 44 The Hero's Sword of Shangfang

Seeing that Tang Feng didn't say anything, Mingcheng asked him, "Mr. Tang, you are sure to entrust your order.

Tang Feng said: "What I really want to entrust is not this lotus petal hexagonal plate, but this jade seal. If you can accept the entrustment of the jade seal, it doesn't matter.\(WWW.aCo)/" The income that the hexagonal plate can bring to Tang Feng is 1.8 million, which cannot solve Tang Feng's urgent needs. The jade seal is Tang Feng's focus.

"I understand what you mean." Zhang Mingcheng said: "As long as the thing is real and has a certain value, we will accept the commission. Can we still push customers out of the door when doing business?" After he finished speaking, he put down the six-edged plate in his hand and held up the jade seal in his hands. When he first saw the appearance of the jade seal, his expression had not changed much. When he saw the seal on the seal, his face changed a few times. Tang Feng knew that he had no idea about this thing.

"Mr. Tang, where did you get this jade seal?" Zhang Mingcheng immediately asked Tang Feng. This guy must have suspected that this jade seal was stolen from the Palace Museum.

Tang Feng said: "Don't worry, this is not the one collected by the Palace Museum, otherwise it would have caused a sensation across the country, right?"

Zhang Mingcheng said: "This is not like a fake, but I am not sure at all. If Mr. Tang is sincere, please give us three hours." This matter is tricky and no one dares to draw conclusions easily. If it is not done well, it will cause academic controversy. Zhang Mingcheng continued: "Mr. Tang, don't worry, we are an internationally renowned auction house, everything will follow the procedures, and we will issue you a temporary management certificate. During this period, we are fully responsible for the safety of this jade seal."

Don't worry about this. Such well-known international companies are all big tricks and will never use clumsy tricks like a baggage. After Tang Feng agreed, Zhang Mingcheng quickly handed over the temporary management certificate to Tang Feng. He said: "No matter what the result is, we will accurately reply to you within three hours. During this period, you might as well go to our lot to tour the exhibition."

Tang Feng lit up and said, "Then I'll lose my companion." Then Feng and Lin Muyu left the living room.

Walking out of the living room, Lin Muyu asked Tang Feng: "Are I going to the exhibition of the items now?"

Tang Feng looked helpless and said, "To be honest, I'm really scared to visit the exhibition. If I catch a priceless treasure, I will feel uncomfortable."

Lin Muyu smiled slightly and said, "I think so too."

Tang Feng said: "But you can't stop going because you're afraid? Mu Yu, don't worry. I have a good mentality. Life is not as good as ten**. It's normal to have gains and losses. For example, there are many beauties in this world. I only need Mu Yu one."

"Tsk." Lin Muyu sneered: "I don't blush when I lie."

The spring auction preview is located on the ground floor of Shanghai Mall. It is a relatively open exhibition, which is said to be an exhibition. It is actually more like an art salon. The exhibition cabinets are scattered in the exhibition hall of 10,000 square meters. There are many sand seats and coffee tables around the cabinet for guests to rest. Guests can not only rest or call meals and drinks to eat and chat. Of course, this is a paid place. In addition, this preview does not provide a place to appraise the visit.

"Mr. Tang!" As soon as Tang Feng and Lin Muyu walked to the exhibition hall, a sweet and moving voice was greeting Tang Feng. Tang Feng looked back and saw it. It was Fan Ziyun. It was needless to say that Fan Ziyun was beautiful. She was even better than Lin Muyu and Liu Yue in temperament. She was a woman who easily made men have fantasy. To be precise, it was a sexual fantasy. She could do that kind of thing with beautiful women who were gentle and dignified on the TV screen and loved by thousands of people. That kind of sense of accomplishment is what every man dreams of.

Tang Feng greeted her with a smile. He said, "Hello Miss Fan. Why did you come to Shanghai?"

"We want to do a program, which is related to an item at Christie's Spring Auction in Hong Kong. Our seats are there." Fan Ziyun pointed to a table in the distance and said to Tang Feng and Lin Muyu: "Mr. Tang and Miss Lin don't mind going over and sitting for a while, right?"

Lin Muyu nodded with a smile and said, "I'll just ask him whatever I want."

Tang Feng was concerned about another thing. He asked Fan Ziyun: "What kind of item is so important? You have to come to Shanghai to do the show."

"So you didn't know. I thought you came here to buy this item." Fan Ziyun said: "This item is the Shangfang sword given to Shi Kefa, the deputy governor of the Southern Ming army, by Anzong.

Tang Feng smiled relaxedly and said, "If I was not mistaken, this is another buyback trap, right?"

Fan Ziyun sighed and said, "It's true, it's a trap that has been tried and done. Our episode of the program is just to objectively analyze whether this kind of repurchase is necessary. The display cabinet is there. Regardless of whether Mr. Tang is interested or not, I really want to hear your appraisal conclusion."

If you can't get started, you can draw conclusions based on observation. This is the eye-catching method and the most test of identification techniques in antique identification. Fan Ziyun's grandfather Fan Chengru helped Tang Feng, and Tang Feng still has a good impression of Fan Ziyun. He said: "Ms. Fan

Is there any reason I don’t follow it? Then go and have a look.”

Fan Ziyun smiled at Lin Muyu and said, "Mr. Tang is so serious."

Soon, the three of them walked to the ancient sword display cabinet together. The full name of this item was "Shi Kefa, the deputy governor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Shi Kefa, the sword for committing suicide in his country."

"These ***s!" Tang Feng couldn't help but curse and swear when he saw the label. He shook his head and said, "Oh, everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. The words 'Shi Kefa's death to the country are full of clues, which clearly shows the need to use the national feelings of the Chinese to ask for a price."

Since it is an auction item, its regular data must be credible. The label of the display cabinet says that the sword is 99 meters long, the sword blade is 80 meters long, and the sword width is 5 meters. Tang Feng looked at the valuation again and found that it was indeed outrageous, RMB 0.0 million.

As we all know, the feudal society was a monarchy regime, and the system with high concentration of power obviously could not cope with complex and ever-changing society, especially in the face of social turmoil. In this special situation, the emperor had to grant some local officials and military generals the power to be arbitrary and even kill within a certain range. Being given the Shangfang Sword means having the supreme power that can represent the emperor himself. Therefore, the Shangfang Sword was not sacred and inviolable at the beginning.

However, the Shangfang Sword of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Shangfang Sword after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, was not valuable, because there were too many Shangfang Swords passed down from generation to generation, and roughly estimated that they were above a hundred handles. When Shangfang Sword had already spread to the point where civil and military officials had one, it was not surprising that it depreciated significantly. The Shangfang Sword system at that time was indeed in chaos. Yuan Chonghuan used the Shangfang Sword granted by Chongzhen, and Mao Wenlong himself also had the Shangfang Sword granted by Chongzhen. In addition, rebel generals like Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui also had Shangfang Sword granted by Chongzhen, which was a chaotic one.

Aside from the symbolic meaning, just in terms of quality, the Shangfang sword in the late Ming Dynasty was not as good as before. There was no way, and the national strength was limited. Relatively speaking, the quality of this Shangfang sword was quite good. Its sword body was well preserved, with fine patterns and grooves all over the body. The hilt was wrapped in crocodile skin. One side was inlaid with seven copper nails and the other side was left with the six-character official script inscription "The Great Ming Hongguang Imperial Gift".

After reading it, Tang Feng said affirmatively: "This is definitely a genuine product, but its real value is only tens of thousands of yuan." After the wet chemistry aging analysis, the authenticity is undoubtedly true and false. Wet chemistry analysis is the most accurate metal antique age identification technology, which is absolutely reliable, and historical documents have also mentioned this sword accurately.

Fan Ziyun nodded and said, "I hope this sword is fake, but the experts we invited all said it is real. Mr. Tang, I would like to ask you a question, is it OK?"

Tang Feng said: "Of course, you can ask."

Fan Ziyun said: "As a collector, are you willing to buy back this Shangfang sword?" In Fan Ziyun's eyes, Tang Feng, who bought Su Dongpo's manuscripts for a large sum of money, has become a collector.

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "If it's tenths of the cheaper, I will consider it." Although this Shangfang sword is also a hero's relic, its real value is difficult to compare with the righteous inkstone. Moreover, this kind of collection is in the minds of people with ulterior motives, which will encourage this unhealthy trend. The most critical problem is that Tang Feng does not have this spare money now. If that Fang Yuxi can be sold at a good price, you can also consider it.

Fan Ziyun said: "This is indeed a dilemma. The two experts we invited are also there, both acquaintances. If Mr. Tang has time, you might as well go over and sit down and communicate with everyone."

Tang Feng looked at the wherever they were sitting. He knew both experts, namely Zhang Yuanzhi, a senior calligraphy and painting appraisal expert at the National History Museum, and Wei Qizheng, an old expert at the National Museum of China. Fan Ziyun, without waiting for Tang Feng to answer, pulled Lin Muyu and said, "Ms. Lin, go and sit down."

Lin Muyu looked at Tang Feng helplessly. Tang Feng understood Fan Ziyun's meaning. She hoped that the communication between the three people would create a spark. Because of Fan Chengru, Tang Feng could not bear to refuse Fan Ziyun's request. He said, "Then go and sit there."

The three of them walked over together. Before they could reach the seat, Tang Feng heard Wei Qizheng's indignant voice. He said: "I think that knowledgeable people should buy back this Shangfang sword. We cannot let the hero's relics be left overseas again."

Seeing Tang Feng coming, Zhang Yuanzhi and Wei Qi both stood up to greet him. After some politeness, the three of them sat down. Tang Feng said politely: "You guys go ahead, I just sit there casually." He was unwilling to get involved in their argument.
