"As expected of the Yin family!"
Zhang Qishan could not help but sigh.
The collection in front of him was divided into several categories. Blue and white porcelain was one category, and bronze cauldrons were another.
Other than that, there were also famous paintings and calligraphy from various dynasties.
"Wow, there's the Holy Mother of West-Hill Invitation! Such a peerless collection."
Qi Tiezui's eyes lit up as he looked at the words in front of him.
The " West-Hill Holy Mother's Invitation " was written by Huai Su of the Tang Dynasty. It had always been regarded as a treasure by the collectors. It was also amazing to see this invitation here.
The invitation was four feet long and was filled with seals.
The pale yellow scroll, the warm paper, and the faint smell of ink.
According to the seals, he could tell that this invitation was definitely authentic.
With a history of two thousand years, every generation of collectors had carefully protected it, so that the roll paper had not been bitten by mosquitoes.
Hearing Qi Tiezui's exclamation, the others also turned their gazes over.
Everyone from the Nine Gates was an expert in the Dao of Reversal. They had come into contact with ancient Underworld Artifacts since they were young, so they were naturally familiar with the West-Hill Holy Mother's Invitation.
"It's authentic! Definitely!" Master Jiu of the Nine Gates said. He had a deep understanding of calligraphy and painting.
"This is a sky-high price! I wonder how he got his hands on the New Moon Hotel!”Jie Jiuye sighed.
The Yin family indeed had a lot of treasures!
"Six word inscription cauldron! Damn it! One word was worth a thousand dollars!”On the other side, Er Yue Hong said in surprise.
At this moment, Er Yue Hong was standing among the collection of bronze artifacts. She was so shocked by the treasures in front of her that she lost her usual composure.
In the box in front of him was a bronze cauldron.
The cauldron was covered in rust, and the green rust emitted the smell of soil.
Usually, antique shops had a way to make fake embroidery, but the smell of rust could not be made.
The traditional method of making fake rust on bronze was to use urine, but this would give the bronze a strange smell that was difficult to remove.
The Nine Gates were old hands, they only needed to smell it to know if this bronze artifact was real or fake.
Hearing this, Old Dog Wu and the others came over and picked up the six-word inscription cauldron. They sniffed it and said,
"It's a pit, good stuff!" Old Dog Wu was puzzled.
In the antique trade, bronze that had just been unearthed was called a "raw pit", while a "cooked pit" referred to the bronze that had been collected by a collector.
Before February Red could calm down, Qi Tiezui found another piece of exquisite work.
The Painting of the Willow!
Although Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty had no achievements in governing the country, he was extremely talented in painting and calligraphy.
However, his Xuanhe style and other authentic works were very rare. Just these two collections were enough to be said to be astronomical.
However, it would be a disaster for ordinary people to have such a collection in their hands.
The few of them put away the antiques in their hands and continued to move forward.
The porcelain collection was even more complete.
The eight sides cups, Jun porcelain, white porcelain, Yuan blue and white porcelain, and general jars were all hidden in special boxes.
Furthermore, the wooden box was engraved with Japanese characters. The string of Japanese characters pierced into everyone's hearts like an arrow.
"Damn it, the Yin family actually colluded with the Japanese!”Qi Tie cursed.
The rest of the people also started to curse the Yin family for their traitor business.
Zhang Qishan already knew about this matter, so he explained,
"The New Moon Hotel already has an auction. It's not new to bid for foreign collections."
"This batch of antiques should have not been handed over yet. Some patriots had already reported it to the government.”
"It's just that the Yin family's power is too great, and no one dares to offend them!”
Although it was just an understatement, the helplessness in Zhang Qishan's eyes towards the loss of the national treasure was undoubtedly revealed.
There was a dark corridor behind the antique collection.
A gust of wind blew through the tunnel. This kind of secret chamber was built extremely exquisitely.
Not only could it prevent theft, but it could also prevent the collection from rotting and moldy.
"Lord Zeng, let's go inside and take a look!”Er Yue Hong said.
If the collection at the front was already so rich, then the collection at the back of the secret passage should be even rarer.
Zhang Qishan and the others were submerged in the darkness.
After passing through the dark corridor, a room the size of a basketball court appeared in front of them.
The stone walls around them were engraved with numbers, and in the middle were dozens of boxes the size of a small mountain. The boxes were covered with tarpaulin.
Everyone thought that there must be even rarer collections in this secret room!
But unexpectedly!
There was only a pile of wooden boxes in this secret room. Inside the boxes were some silver coins and gold bars.
It should be a collection of antiques from the New Moon Hotel in recent years. Compared to the antiques in front of them, it was not too expensive.
However, in this chaotic world, gold and silver were the most useful!
Zhang Qishan and the others finished counting all the items in the secret room and sent people to bring them back to the headquarters.
There were a total of fifty boxes of gold! 320 boxes of silver!
Calligraphy, jade, porcelain, and bronze were all quite abundant, but antiques could only be counted by pieces.
There were a total of 280 bronze artifacts of various sizes, more than 100 famous paintings, and 200 pieces of porcelain.
Zhang Qishan sent people to move out all the treasures in the secret room.
Six hours later.
The Yin family's secret chamber had already become an empty dark room.
...
Beiping Command.
Zhang Xuebing looked at the antique collection that Nine Gates took out and sighed.
"Motherf * cker, the Yin family colluded with the warlords and plundered a lot!”
Zhang Qishan presented the "West-Hill Holy Mother's Invitation" and "Willow Painting" to Zhang Xuebing.
"What is this?" Zhang Xuebing asked. He knew very little about antiques.
Thus, Qi Tiezui and the others from Nine Gates recounted the history and history of the two collections.
"This is a national treasure! Keep it!" Zhang Xuebing said solemnly.”
Although Zhang Xuebing had been in the military for a lifetime, he cherished the collection of cultural relics more than most people.
He sent people to collect the two most valuable paintings.
"Your contribution this time is not small. This commander will reward you greatly!”Zhang Xuebing said to the Nine Gates.
When the Old Nine Gates heard the young commander's words, their hearts were filled with excitement.
If he had been fearful of the Major before, he was now in awe of the Major.
Whether it was the young marshal's feelings for his country, his spirit of serving the country and the people, or his courage to reward and punish his subordinates.
The eight of them were full of admiration for Zhang Xuebing!
"All eight of you, come to the army and be first lieutenants!”Zhang Xuebing said.
The adjutant at the side recorded.
"Also, everyone will be rewarded with 1,000 yuan!”
"Thank you, Young Marshal! The Nine Gates would definitely follow the Young Marshal's lead!”
"In the future, under the orders of the Young Marshal, the Nine Gates will definitely die for it!”
Er Yue Hong and the others cupped their hands and bowed. The gratitude they felt for the young marshal was already indescribable with words.
To them, the rewards were not just money and official positions.
It was also the trust the young marshal had in the Nine Gates!
From ancient times until now, all those who were in the line of Earth Master had wanted to clear their names.
The young commander had given them a chance to do things in an upright manner.
"Since you already have a military position, there's no need to perform martial arts etiquette.”Zhang Qishan smiled and said to Er Yuehong and the others.
