Lai Wen took a deep breath. This kind of thing has happened twice this year, and he was really angry.
"Since Boss Lai doesn't want to talk, I won't ask any more questions." Xu Yun said lightly: "But the things you asked me to do are things done in China...China is not like Africa, a society governed by the rule of law. There are some things I
Maybe it can’t be done.”
The meaning of Xu Yun's words is very clear. In Africa, he can go and destroy the Japanese and form a group of American emperors, but in China, he will not kill anyone casually.
Even if the people Xu Yun faced were guilty and deserved to die, in China's land, the law was the weapon to punish them.
Xu Yun would only perform such a task unless authorized by law. If not authorized by law, he would never accept Lai Wen's order to do so.
That is contempt of the law. After all, Xu Yun is a member of the country, and he will never do anything that disrespects the law.
"I know." Lai Wen said: "Actually, many things are just a click away. I understand all of these."
"I don't understand why anyone dares to provoke Boss Lai." Xu Yun said lightly.
Lai Wen snorted: "There are no bosses in the antique world who are easy to mess with. If it weren't for the big business and the huge money, there would be too much money to burn, and few people would dare to go into the deep water of antiques. Who are the people in this circle? Have you come into contact with them?"
Just know it.”
"Then I want to know, what are the things that Boss Lai collects every day?" Xu Yun pretended to be curious: "Is there any priceless treasure that can scare me if you tell me?"
Lai Wen laughed: "I have quite a lot of treasures. But I don't know, in your eyes, what is a priceless treasure? Give me an example."
"For example... the Nine-Dragon Sword of the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty." Xu Yun smiled slightly.
Lai Wen gave a thumbs up. The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty is the largest and most complete ancient imperial mausoleum building in China. There are five mausoleums of emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, and four mausoleums of empress dowagers such as Ci'an and Cixi.
During the Republic of China, the warlords headed by Sun Dianying, in the name of conducting military exercises, brought troops, artillery and explosives to excavate the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty. It took seven days and seven nights, and the process was very bizarre.
They used explosives to blow up the diamond wall in the tomb. After opening the door, they found that the coffin was holding up the stone door and it was difficult to open. It is said that after the luminous pearl in Cixi's mouth was dug out, Cixi's cheeks instantly changed from plain to withered.
.
A large number of royal burial objects were stolen during this tomb robbery, which shocked China.
All walks of life have issued the highest appeal to bring this guy to justice. However, in order to avoid responsibility, this guy gave away the stolen treasures to be managed.
This guy gave the largest Qianlong court pearl to Dai Li, the orb in Cixi's mouth to Song Meiling, and the gold and jade watermelon to Song Ziwen.
Finally, the grandson asked Dai Li to deliver the most precious Nine Dragon Sword to Chiang Kai-shek! This time he was fine with nothing.
However, after Dai Li collected the Nine Dragons Sword, he asked his subordinate Ma Hansan to keep it. As a result, Ma Hansan became a traitor and the Nine Dragons Sword fell into the hands of Yoshiko Kawashima of Japan. It was not until the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that the sword was recovered again.
Later, Dai Li took the sword with him by plane to Nanjing to meet with Chiang Kai-shek. However, the plane crashed in Daishan on the way and everyone was killed. Rumor has it that the Kowloon Sword was burned to pieces, and the sword and Dai Li were later buried together.
But some people think that the sword was refined by fire and could not be burned. Apparently, someone made up a lie and switched the Nine Dragon Sword.
This was the sword buried with Emperor Qianlong. Lai Wen was shocked as soon as Xu Yun opened his mouth.
"Hahaha, you are really talking loudly." Lai Wen said: "I only know that after this national treasure was stolen from Dongling by the warlords, it was displaced and its whereabouts are unknown, and it has become a historical mystery. If I am lucky enough to get it,
, definitely dedicated to the country."
"Dedicate it to the country?" Xu Yun was startled.
Lai Wen nodded, looking serious.
This guy really knows how to hide himself.
"Boss Lai, we are not filming grave-digging notes again, so we shouldn't say these lies." Xu Yun said lightly: "If anyone gets this treasure of the Nine-Fifth Supreme Lord, I'm afraid they will want to keep it for themselves."
Lai Wen shook his head: "I don't have the ability to get this thing. You'd better tell me something that's not for the Ninth Five-Year Plan."
"Does Boss Lai have the murals and scriptures lost in Dunhuang?" Xu Yun asked again, these things are also national treasures.
Lai Wen laughed: "Xu Yun, Xu Yun, I said you can joke, but you really can. It is a well-known fact that Dunhuang murals and scriptures were lost abroad."
Xu Yun frowned.
"Why, do you think I don't have any good things here?" Lai Wen said, "But you have a big appetite. Do you have any other curious treasures?"
"Yes." Xu Yundao said: "Is the Yanjing skull in your collection?"
When the skulls of Yanjing people were discovered in Zhoukoudian Village, Fangshan District, it shocked the world. These skulls were also preserved in Yanjing.
Unfortunately, there was a crisis when the Japanese occupied Peiping. At that time, someone wanted to transport the skull to New York to protect this treasure. Unexpectedly, during the transportation, they arrived at Qinhuangdao and were attacked by the Japanese before they could board the warships that came to greet them.
The transportation plan was aborted, and the whereabouts of the Yanjing skull were unknown. Apparently it was stolen by the Japanese.
In fact, if I were sent to New York at that time, I might not be able to come back. Everyone knows what the people in the American Empire are like.
For so many years, many anthropologists have been searching for the whereabouts of the skull and called on private parties to participate. However, the skull is still missing. Therefore, the skull has become a strange case among many lost national treasures.
"You are really making things difficult for me." Lai Wen said, "Do you still want to control my plan to live in Fuchun Mountain?"
Xu Yun chuckled: "Haven't the Fuchun Mountain Residence pictures been put on display together? If Boss Lai also has them, then this treasure is really a fake, haha."
"So these things you are talking about are too mysterious. What kind of treasures are these?" Lai Wen said: "This is not something that ordinary people can get."
"These are actually nothing. What I am most curious about is the water-powered clock in the Old Summer Palace that sprayed water in turns every twelve hours of the day and night." Xu Yun said lightly.
As soon as Xu Yun said these words, Lai Wen's expression changed.
This "water-powered clock" is actually a bronze statue of the twelve zodiac signs with human bodies and animal heads!
The British and French allied forces burned this rare architectural wonder complex in the history of world architecture to the ground, and countless treasures were lost overseas as the British and French allied forces plundered it.
Nowadays, those calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, Buddhist statues, and even royal seals have been appropriated by the descendants of the British and French allied forces at that time, and after being changed hands by private collectors in the later period, no trace can be found.
Even a large number of precious collections are now on display at the Palace of Fontainebleau, becoming rare treasures that are openly owned.
And the most precious thing is probably this animal head.
What would have happened if the Old Summer Palace had not been destroyed? No one dares to think about it, because no one can restore it all.
"If Boss Lai can collect an animal head, he will be considered a master in the collecting world." Xu Yun's words were obviously a deliberate provocation to Lai Wen.
Lai Wen shook his head and said calmly: "If you say that, you think too highly of me, hahaha..."
"No matter what treasures Boss Lai has, I believe you will not be stingy about letting me see your collection after returning to China." Xu Yun asked with a smile.
Lai Wen nodded: "Of course I won't be that stingy."
"Then I'll thank Boss Lai first." Xu Yundao said.
Lai Wen also laughed: "So, you promised to do things for me?"
