Chapter 340
The man hesitated a bit when he spoke, so Yu Yao simply asked:
"Is it within the transaction, or is it outside the transaction?"

"Others."

"How about completing the transaction first?"

The man hesitated.

The fact that the man can say that he wants to come back and sell the Shuanghuan jade piece at a price of [-] means that he doesn't treat Yu Yao as a fool, but because of his pedantic temperament.

However, being tactful also has its advantages. If it weren't for this, Yu Yao might not have adopted a more realistic way of communication.

"I'm not afraid of your repentance, it's just that there is a business in the middle, and it's not convenient. In addition, what do you want to say, it is the same before and after the transaction. If you want my help, if I can't help you, I would rather not buy you I won’t help if I’ve lost my things.”

"You misunderstood, I was just thinking about what to say." The man turned and said, "Okay, let's make a deal first."

After the payment was settled, Yu Yao asked, "Have you thought about what to say, or are you too embarrassed to say it?"

"It's a little bit, after all, I just met you. But you are already the most discerning I have ever met!" The man said, stretching out his hand, "Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Yuan, Yuan Chunwang, and I am in Jiangzhou Archives Bureau Work."

"Yuan Chunwang?" Yu Yao reached out to shake hands with him, saying that in a Qing court drama, Yuan Chunwang was a big eunuch villain.However, his parents couldn't predict it when they named it.It's like Yu Yao used to have an old neighbor named Yang Wei, who was born in the 70s, and it was not easy for people at that time to associate too much with their children's names.

However, judging from the fluency and naturalness of Yuan Chunwang's registration, he probably hasn't watched this drama, or doesn't care about it.

"My name is Yu Yao."

"Boss Yu, it's like this, my father has one more thing..."

Yu Yao couldn't help frowning, "Didn't you say these are the last two pieces?"

"Uh, I didn't make it clear. This is not a thing, no, it's also a thing, but it's not an antique, it's a notebook."

"notes?"

"Yes, mainly because his combing and summarization of some unofficial history and folk materials cannot be regarded as academic research, but the content of private pondering. There is one thing that my father mentioned to me many times, and later I participated in the research This notebook, so I want to ask you to teach me."

"Ah?" Yu Yao's face showed embarrassment, "Mr. Yuan, you praise me too much. Your father was once a professor in the History Department of Dongdae University. How can I compare in this regard? I'm afraid I can't help you much. This kind of academic discussion , it would be more appropriate for you to find his former colleagues or favorite students."

Yuan Chunwang quickly explained, "What I want to ask is about antiques, to be precise, about cultural relics."

Yu Yao thought to himself, you have basically sold all your father's things, so why are you interested in antiques?

Yuan Chunwang looked at Yu Yao, who didn't respond, and said, "This matter has something to do with my job. I work in the Information Management Division of the Archives Bureau. My job is mainly to sort out historical files and enrich the file information database. ..."

"Understood, you should just talk about the matter directly." Yu Yao nodded and lit a cigarette casually.

"Boss Yu, you are an antique dealer, and your eyesight is so high, you must know that Dongjiang Provincial Bo is too beautiful, right?"

"Taidian Fangding?" Yu Yao's expression changed, "You mean, Taidian Fangding was mentioned in your father's notes?"

Yuan Chunwang nodded, "Yes, based on some information he had, he sorted out the process of Taidian Fangding being accepted by the Jiangzhou Cultural Relics Department during the Republic of China, and raised doubts. When I was sorting out some files during the Republic of China , also found that receiving Taidian Fangding was not public at that time."

For Taidian Fangding, Yu Yao naturally paid a lot of attention, and what Yuan Chunwang said was not routine.

However, the more this is the case, the less urgent it is.Yu Yao stabilized his mind first, and asked Yuan Chunwang, "Mr. Yuan, you should report such a big matter and let the relevant departments organize experts to study it. Why did you bring it up in an antique shop like mine?"

"I wrote a report, but I didn't even pass the test of our director. He said it was all speculation, and advised me not to make trouble for nothing. Don't be afraid of your jokes. I am timid, so I dare not work in the unit. I said it. However, this matter has always been in my heart. After communicating with you today, I don’t know why, but I especially want to ask you about it.”

Yu Yao understood.A person who works hard, but his superior is an old fritter.This kind of thing is not uncommon, and some superiors will try their best to suppress such subordinates, making you better than the leader!

"Then your father has not published any academic views on this aspect before?"

"I've already said that it can't be called academic research, and the evidence is not enough. It can only be regarded as something for private research; moreover, my father went to the Dongjiang Provincial Museum to see Taidian Fangding, and he thought it was okay. He weighed it over and over again, but he never expressed publicly."

Yu Yao sighed, with your father's eyesight, you definitely can't see the problem.

"Mr. Yuan, what are your father's doubts?" Yu Yao determined the whole process before getting to the point.

"According to his analysis of various materials, during the period when the Taidian Fangding was handed over to the Jiangzhou cultural relics department, there were three 'Taidian Fangding' in Jiangzhou City at the same time! And it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

"What?" Yu Yao was taken aback.

Yuan Chunwang went on to say, "That is to say, even if one is real, there must be two 'Li Gui'. Moreover, the reception of Taidian Fangding was not public at that time, that is to say, there should be no large-scale Argumentative."

Yu Yao pondered, "Then, could it be that there are repetitions or connection problems in the data collected by your father, but it is actually one statue. Different materials and deduced descriptions are different, so it is regarded as three statues?"

"No. My father's academic attitude is very rigorous. His research was about 30 years ago, when some old people were still alive, and he had visited and investigated. So he wondered whether the handed over Taidian Fangding would be Is there a possibility of being transferred?"

"Didn't your father later confirm that the Provincial Bo is a real tripod?"

"Yes, because of this, he did not disclose his private research."

"Does he have any conclusions about the whereabouts of the other two tripods?"

"No. And there has been no relevant news from the outside world." Yuan Chunwang thought for a while, "Later, before the Japanese captured Jiangzhou, the cultural relics department transported a large number of cultural relics along the river. Hidden secretly in the nearby mountains; returned to Jiangzhou in 1945. Taidian Fangding has been transferred in an orderly manner during this process, and there should be no problems."

What Yuan Chunwang said was very useful, and Yu Yao digested it carefully.However, he couldn't help but ask afterwards:
"Mr. Yuan, what you said is indeed a matter of cultural relics, but it is mostly inferred from historical data. This has nothing to do with my eyesight? What do you want to ask me?"
