Chapter 294: The Warring States Period Bronze Bell Comes to Life
.., Qi Men Nong Bao
In fact, Qin Fen had already used his yin and yang eyes to see clearly what Tong Guyun was holding. It was indeed a bronze vessel, and from the rust and unearthed traces on it, it could be concluded that it was a product of the Warring States Period.
In particular, these evil spirits came from the side of the bronze vessel, so Qin Fen deliberately took a look at the man holding the bronze vessel.
I saw that the other party was thin, with a small face and bright eyes, and he looked very smart.
Especially at this moment, when he heard Qin Fen's question, something strange flashed in this man's eyes. Qin Fen could tell at a glance that this man had evil intentions.
"It's...it's mine!"
After a while, the man seemed a little afraid of Qin Fen and stuttered a little when he spoke.
"Oh, how much do you plan to pay for this bronze vessel?!" Qin Fen glanced at the bronze vessel in his hand absently, and then asked.
"One million!"
The man raised a finger and said nervously.
"hehe……"
Qin Fen didn't answer, but showed a smile.
"What do you mean?! Is it expensive?!"
The man's expression changed and he asked hurriedly.
"Well, if you tell me the origin of this thing, I will give you one million without saying anything. What do you think?!"
Qin Fen's expression suddenly changed and he became serious.
"Family...it's a family tradition!"
The man replied.
"Haha, I, Qin Fen, have been doing antiques for more than a day or two, and I think you have heard of my name, so you'd better tell the truth!"
Qin Fen chuckled lightly and said.
"Of course I know that in the antique business in Dongchang, your Zhengdezhai family is probably the only one now, and it has a very good reputation. They have always been upright, so I took out the family heirloom treasure, otherwise
, I will not come to your Zhengde Zhai."
For some reason, this man's face suddenly lost the previous nervousness, and he looked very confident.
"Haha, I don't think I should be the leader of a single family, but it's true that a child should be bullied. Because of this, the things I collect in Zhengde Zhai are all treasures that can be seen."
"What do you mean?! Are you saying that this heirloom of my family will never see the light of day?!" The man's face suddenly changed and his tone was cold.
"Haha, you know it in your heart whether you can see the light or not. Are you going to tell me in private here?! Or are you going to let me change the place for you to say it?!"
Qin Fen's smile was slightly cold.
This made Tong Guyun and Gu Ruoling on the side stunned.
Especially when Tong Guyun heard Qin Fen's words, she already understood that this thing probably came from shoveling the land.
To put it bluntly, this person is probably a rice dumpling digger. This thing was made from the ground. In fact, he was also doubting it just now. However, because this thing is too special, he just focused on researching the authenticity, but did not
Ask where this came from.
Now seeing Qin Fen's face, Tong Guyun felt somewhat guilty.
"This thing is passed down from my family. If you want to buy it, let's talk about it. If you don't want to buy it, I won't sell it! If the family is short of money, I won't take it out!"
After the man said this, he snatched the bronze vessel from Qin Fen's hand, picked it up in a panic, and started to walk out.
Qin Fen added a smile to his face, and then said lightly: "You took this thing and entered my Zhengde Zhai. Now it's not easy to get out so easily!"
As soon as Qin Fen finished speaking, his body moved, and the next second, he closed the door of Zhengde Zhai tightly.
The man's expression suddenly changed, he hugged the bronze vessel tightly and stared at Qin Fen nervously.
"Qin Fen, what do you mean, do you want to buy and sell by force?!"
"Hmph, I, Qin Fen, have always been fair and aboveboard in my work. The reason why I am like this today is entirely because you are coming from a shady way, and I am trying to save you!"
Qin Fen snorted coldly and stared at this man closely.
"You fart, this is something passed down in my family!"
"You better have a clean mouth, otherwise, believe it or not, I will slap you to death!"
Qin Fen's expression changed and he said coldly to this man.
The man felt nervous and his body couldn't help but take half a step back.
"You...what do you want?!" The man was a little panicked.
"Okay, I'll give you one last chance. This thing is obviously obtained by digging rice dumplings. The unearthed traces on it are good proof. Moreover, if you know your way around this thing, you must pay for it. And you only want one hundred from me."
Wan, obviously you know the origin of this thing, and during this period, you have been tortured by it and have trouble sleeping and eating!"
Qin Fen's words immediately shocked the other party's body. He stared at Qin Fen with round eyes. He opened his mouth several times but no sound came out.
"explain!"
Qin Fen saw the change in the other party and immediately shouted loudly.
Even Tong Guyun and Gu Ruoling were startled by Qin Fen's shout.
"Plop!"
The man's body trembled suddenly, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees directly.
"Qin Fen, Boss Qin, help me, this thing is indeed not from my family!"
The man's voice was full of pleading.
Qin Fen glanced at this man with disdain, and then said with a cold face: "Now you can tell me, and you must tell me clearly everything before and after!"
"Okay, okay, I said, I said..."
The man nodded repeatedly.
"The thing is like this, I am Baofengzhai. I saw this thing in someone else's hand. At first I saw that it was real and that it came from something wrong. But I was eager to make money, so the other person sold it at a low price.
So I boldly bought it.”
"Humph, now that you can see that the origin is shady, you still want to take action. You really want money rather than life." Qin Fen snorted coldly.
"How did I know that I have collected things from such sources before, and nothing unusual has ever happened, but this time it is different. After receiving this thing, first my wife fell ill and was hospitalized, and then my son fell ill for no reason. So, I
I just guessed that these changes might have something to do with this thing, so I wanted to take action quickly to prevent my whole family from being in trouble."
"Don't you know the big taboos in the antique business!? For the sake of a small profit, you caused something to happen to your wife and children. You are simply bringing the blame on yourself."
"Boss Qin, my intestines are full of regret now..." The man's face was full of pain.
"May I have your name?!"
"My name is Li San. People in the antique industry call me Sanyan'er. Because I have a good eye for these antiques, so everyone gave me this nickname. However, I don't have much money, so I can only do
Bao Fu Zhai." Li San nodded and said.
"In this case, you should know that this bronze is not an ordinary thing. If nothing else, its archaeological research value is very high. You openly bought it from a rice dumpling digger and resold it. Once discovered, the next
I'm afraid you will spend half your life in prison."
Qin Fen's words made Li San even more nervous. He hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Fen and admitted his mistake, saying: "Boss Qin, I know I was wrong. It's all because of my financial obsession. Please don't send me in. My wife and
My son is still waiting for money to save his life!"
"Hmph, if I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?!"
Qin Fen shouted coldly.
"Boss Qin, since you can see that the origin of this thing is not right, then you can be noble and save my wife and son by the way. Don't worry, as long as you save them, I, Li San, am willing to work as a horse for you.
!”
Li San is not stupid, and has been in this business for a long time. He has heard some rumors about Qin Fen, so he wants to take a gamble.
Qin Fen's expression was serious, and then his eyes fell on Tong Guyun, and he immediately had an idea.
"Tong Lao, are we still short of manpower in our store?!"
Seeing Qin Fen's expression, Tong Guyun understood immediately and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Our business is getting bigger and bigger now, so we really lack a few discerning people. This Li San'er, oh, especially this one.
I have heard of Sanyan'er's name, and he does have some discernment, but I didn't expect him to be Li San."
Qin Fen nodded happily toward Tong Guyun, then turned his eyes to Li San, who had been kneeling on the ground.
"Sanyan'er, if you really want to repent, I will give you a chance! It depends on what you think?!" Qin Fen said lightly.
"Boss Qin, tell me!"
"I'll take this thing for one million, and I promise you to save your wife and son. Right now, our Zhengde Zhai is short of talents like you. If you are willing, don't be a Baofu Zhai in the future, and come to my Zhengde Zhai to help
Tong Lao, of course the salary must be higher than before!"
Li San was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that things would develop like this. At that moment, his face was full of excitement and he said: "Boss Qin, are you telling the truth?!"
"certainly!"
"Then I agree, I agree! It's just that I don't want this thing anymore. I gave it to Boss Qin for nothing. It can be regarded as my loyalty!" Li San said hurriedly.
"This is my business card, and this is a check for one million. Now you go back first. There is an antique auction tomorrow. You call me and I will take you there. After it is over, I will go see your wife and son!"
"
Qin Fen ignored Li San's words and directly handed the business card and check to Li San.
Li San rolled his eyes, hesitated, and finally took it timidly, then got up from the ground, thanked him profusely, and hurriedly left Zhengde Zhai.
As soon as I left Zhengde Zhai, I ran towards the bank at a trot.
"Qin Fen, what on earth is this thing?! Is it really worth a million?!"
After Li San left, Tong Guyun asked with confusion.
"Haha, Mr. Tong, this thing is undoubtedly a bronze, and it is also a bronze musical instrument called a bell!"
"Bronze Bell?!"
Tong Guyun was stunned. He had heard of this bronze bell, but had never seen it before.
"Yes, it is indeed a bronze bell from the Warring States Period!" Qin Fen nodded and said.
"Things from the Warring States Period?! Tell me quickly. My research on this bronze is too superficial."
"Haha, let me show off. This Warring States Bronze Bell is one of the few that have been unearthed in all of China. It can be considered a rare treasure. It has great archaeological significance!"
