Chapter 293 The Five-tone Drum
"Jiannan, what's the matter?" Seeing Fan Jiannan's expression changed, Feng Yuan hurriedly supported him.

Fan Jiannan forced a smile, "It's nothing, just a little dizzy suddenly." He slowly patted the dust on his hands, but kept his eyes on the workbench.

This bronze drum is absolutely genuine.Fan Jiannan secretly sighed, and the physical properties of this bronze drum are very strange, it seems to be able to resonate with the magic power in the operator's body.Fan Jiannan said indifferently, "Mr. Zhong, I remember that you want to give me information about that bronze drum, don't you?"

Mr. Zhong nodded and said, "In order to repair this damaged bronze drum, my friend also put in a lot of effort and provided me with a lot of information. I have sorted it out, and I will go get it right away. Both of you Wait a minute." After saying that, he walked out of the workshop.

After Fan Jiannan waited for Mr. Zhong to leave, he lightly dusted the table with a brush to clean the dust on the surface of the instrument, collected some dust in a small plastic bag that he brought with him, and put it away very solemnly. .

Feng Yuan was surprised and said in a low voice. "You are?"

"When Mr. Zhong repaired the bronze drum, he should have lightly polished it to remove some of the floating dust and dirt on it, so the dust contained very fine copper powder. I just swept it with my hand inadvertently. The desktop suddenly had a very strange feeling, which should be due to the residual copper powder. So I collected some and wanted to further test the floating ash and copper powder." Fan Jiannan explained.

Not long after, Mr. Zhong walked in, holding a stack of papers in his hand, "Master Fan, here are all the information on this bronze drum. If you are interested, you can take a closer look."

Fan Jiannan flipped through the documents, frowned and said, "What does it mean that the bronze drum has a Shang pronunciation? Could it be that this bronze drum is from the Shang Dynasty?"

Mr. Zhong shook his head repeatedly and said, "How can it be so long, this bronze drum is something from the late Ming Dynasty. If it is really a bronze ware from the Shang Dynasty, it would be a national treasure. Even if you kill me, I dare not touch it. Don't talk about repairing it by knocking."

"Oh? So what does this Shangyin mean?" Fan Jiannan pointed to the information in doubt and explained.

"Well, the thing is like this. It refers to the five tones contained in ancient Chinese music, which are usually called the five tones. Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu are the so-called Chinese scales. Shang Yin refers to The second of these five tones. Isn’t there an idiom called five tones incomplete, which refers to these five tones.” Mr. Zhong explained.

Fan Jiannan's expression changed suddenly, and he murmured, "Five tones? This is interesting."

Feng Yuan frowned and said, "Dharma has five skills, clouds have five qi, medicine has five viscera, color has five colors, and sound has five tones. Do you mean that? These five tones may correspond to the five elements."

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "It seems interesting. But don't worry, let's take a look."

He continued to flip through the materials and said, "It says that this is actually used by the Wa people. What does Mr. Zhong think?"

Mr. Zhong said with a wry smile, "Bronze drums and other musical instruments are very ancient and widely spread among ethnic minorities. From the perspective of shape alone, it is difficult to determine which ethnic group uses them. Basically, it is possible for the Wa, Miao, and Zhuang .”

"Oh?" Fan Jiannan nodded and continued reading.Suddenly his brows moved, "This is your friend's specific request for the restoration of the bronze drum, right? It is required to restore [-]% of the original pitch. What I want to say is, have you completed the restoration?"

Mr. Zhong said dejectedly, "It's done, this is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive job. After the repair on the bronze drum is completed, I have been debugging in this studio. You know, every pattern on the surface of the bronze drum and The carving and even the thickness will have an impact on the sound. I almost polished it step by step, down to the slightest. I didn’t dare to make a slight mistake, so it returned to the original tone. Unexpectedly, it was stolen as soon as the trimming was completed. I At that time, I was stupid and felt like the sky was falling.”

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Okay, I took a look, and now I know the original location of the stolen bronze drum. I think I can try to divination for you, and deduce the current specific location of this bronze drum from the hexagram. But not now, please come to my office tomorrow to discuss in detail.”

Mr. Zhong was overjoyed, "This is great! I knew that Master Fan would be able to calculate the lost property."

Fan Jiannan suddenly smiled and said, "Actually, I don't understand a little bit. If I figure out where this bronze drum is, what can you do? As you said, if there is a problem with the origin of this bronze drum, then you can't call the police. In this way If you know that the drum is in the hands of a thief, how can you get it back?"

Mr. Zhong was stunned for a moment, apparently he hadn't thought of this either.

Fan Jiannan took the opportunity to say, "If this is an item from an abnormal channel, it may not be beneficial to you in terms of the age of the Ming Dynasty and the value of this bronze drum itself. I mean, if the police are alerted, they will not care if you are If someone entrusts you to restore it, I'm afraid they will directly regard you as a cultural relic smuggler. And if your friend does not show up at that time, I think you will be blamed for this blame."

Mr. Zhong was stunned when he heard this. To be honest, he is also an honest person, and he does some business by relying on formal skills and legal operations.Hearing this, how can you make him feel at peace.

Fan Jiannan deliberately lowered his voice and said, "To be honest, Mr. Zhong, I don't want you to get into trouble. I'm afraid your fortune this year may easily lead to lawsuits and prison. It's better to be careful."

Mr. Zhong trembled when he heard this, and looked at Fan Jiannan for help.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I think it's better to do it this way. This matter is so big that even if you keep it from your friend, it won't last long. If you simply tell him the whole thing, it is tantamount to dragging him into trouble. In this way In the future, even if something happens, he will take care of it himself."

Mr. Zhong turned his worry into joy, and said in a low voice, "You mean, let me tell the whole thing about it, and then tell him when the thing will be found. It's best if he is there when the thing is found. In this way, even if something happens, it will not have any bad influence on me, because after all, he is the owner of the goods."

Fan Jiannan secretly gave him a thumbs up, "Smart."

Mr. Zhong hesitated again and again, and frowned, "But I don't know if he will come."

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? Think about it, if it were you, such a thing would be lost. Are you in a hurry?"

Mr. Zhong thought for a while and said, "This is of course urgent, after all, this thing is very valuable."

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "If someone tells you that although you lost something, there is a way to get it back. What will you do at this time?"

Mr. Zhong thought for a while and said, "Of course I'm very happy to get it back, but I'm always worried."

"I wouldn't worry if it was me, so I'm going to go there and see this thing being found with my own eyes." Fan Jiannan laughed. "So I bet, as long as you tell him the news, then he will definitely show up on time. He will come before I use the hexagram, anxiously waiting for me to take the whereabouts of the bronze drum."

After much deliberation, Mr. Zhong felt that Fan Jiannan's idea was good.No matter what, as soon as that person appeared, he could clear up his participation in the smuggling of cultural relics.I'm just an ordinary musician, can I take such a risk?

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhong nodded quickly, "Master Fan's words are so deafening, it awakens the dreamer. You say that if I am a family leader, what will the family do if I really get involved in a lawsuit? Let's talk It's nothing to do with me, I'm about to be arrested, I won't die unjustly? Thank you for your advice, thank you for your advice."

"Just tell him that tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, I will officially perform fortune-telling in the Tianji Hall. I will definitely figure out the whereabouts of this bronze drum then. But I'm just a fortune-teller, and I can't help you get this bronze drum. How about you? It's just a musical instrument player, even if someone knows what is in his hands, there is no way to get it back. It's best to let him come too, and let him figure out a way." Fan Jiannan encouraged Mr. Zhong vigorously.

"There is no problem. Just do as the master said." Mr. Zhong nodded understandingly. "As long as I can get rid of this trouble, I will definitely thank Master Fan."

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "You are welcome, you are Zhao Gongming's friend. Lawyer Zhao and I are family friends, so I should help you with this little favor. Talking about money is boring."

"No! I know that Master Fan has his own rules for fortune-telling. Our friendship is one thing, and the rules are the rules. I would like to offer one hundred thousand hexagrams in gold." Mr. Zhong gritted his teeth.As long as it can solve this trouble, it is worth spending 10 yuan.

Fan Jiannan smiled without saying a word, and pointed to his watch, meaning to talk about it when the time comes.

Next, Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan wanted to leave, but they were forced by Mr. Zhong to stay and drink tea and some snacks for a while.Fan Jiannan was full of thoughts and really didn't want to stay longer, so he got up again to say goodbye.Mr. Zhong sent them out of the gate of the villa before returning.

Feng Yuan carried Fan Jiannan on his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "Hey, why do you suddenly want to see the owner of that bronze drum? Didn't you say to wait and see? Have you already guessed who this person is?"

Fan Jiannan looked confused, "How did you guess who it was? Where did this happen? If I know, can I ask Mr. Zhong to ask him to meet tomorrow?"

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes at him, "Just pretend. Anyway, I know."

"Oh? What do you know?" Fan Jiannan looked at Feng Yuan with interest.

Feng Yuan said triumphantly, "At least I know that this person is definitely not Kikube Nosho. No matter who he is, he cannot be Kikube Nosho."

"Why?" Fan Jiannan laughed.

Feng Yuan sighed, "If it was Jubu Guizheng, you would definitely not ask him to meet just like this. You would definitely blackmail him quietly, swallow the bronze drum for yourself, and keep him from crying out. With your personality it definitely is."

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "Is that so? Feng Yuan, I found that your understanding of me has become deeper and deeper."
