Chapter 96: Breaking the Cauldron

Li Er turned to look at Lu Dongxing, fearing that Lu Dongxing would be disgusted by Yang Bo's self-assertion, but he saw Lu Dongxing smiling and following Yang Bo forward.

The old man stopped in front of a broken tile-roofed house, turned around and said: "I say eight and a half because this house has a broken bronze tripod. All other houses can still sell it, but their house...sigh!"

"

The old man explained and pushed the door open.

Yang Bo did not have any dissatisfaction, but he was a little excited in his heart, because others would not want a broken tripod, but he was different. He remembered clearly that one of the nine tripods cast by Song Huizong was broken at that time!

The old man was kind-hearted and wanted to help the family. Yang Bo found out the reason when he walked in the door. After entering the room, he saw that the house was bare and the house was dark. There was a faint smell coming from him.

"Li Si! Li Si!" the old man shouted.

Yang Bo and Lu Dongxing both looked at Li Er, who looked embarrassed and said, "I don't have a younger brother!"

At this time, I heard a "Hey" in the room and saw a round rubber ball sliding over. When I looked closer, I realized that the man had his lower body amputated, leaving only his upper body on the skateboard.

Yang Bo saw that the other party was covered in filth, and a sour smell hit his nostrils. The boredom in his heart suddenly disappeared, leaving only sympathy.

The old man explained: "Li Si had a car accident five years ago, and his wife and children ran away. Now he can live alone and can't do anything!"

After that, he turned to look at Li Si, "These bosses want to see your big tripod. Where did you put it?"

Li Si looked to be in his forties or fifties and spoke in a low voice, "Is there anyone else who comes to see my broken cauldron? I asked someone to help me move it to the back of the house last year. I will take you there to have a look!"

Yang Bo was a little anxious, "I put it behind the house, is it covered? It's been exposed to wind and rain, won't it get rusty?"

"Wind and rain? What's the point? It's been more than ten years since my father dug it out, and it has always been treated as a baby bump, but what's the use? In the past, there were still people who would be curious to take a look. In the past few years,

There is no one at all, no one has even offered to buy it!”

Yang Bo was a little helpless. He knew that the other party's life was difficult and it was not easy to be able to keep him for more than ten years.

After walking half a circle around the tile-roofed house, there were several poplar trees behind the house, and a tripod was placed under the tree. The tripod was broken, the walls of the tripod collapsed, and a large piece of it fell off and disappeared to no one knows where.

A layer of leaves fell inside the cauldron, and the entire cauldron was stained with rust. The green rusty water dyed the ground green!

Yang Bo walked up quickly and carefully looked at the decoration on the tripod wall. He found that the decoration was still clear, but it was covered with rust. On the side wall, there was "Baoding" written in regular script!

Yang Bo was overjoyed. The brilliance flashed before his eyes and gradually gathered at the half-waist of the bronze tripod. The thickness gradually increased until a ray of brilliance flew out and entered his eyes. Yang Bo finally determined that this was the bronze cast by Song Huizong.

tripod!

Yang Bo stood up, and Lu Dongxing came over and pulled Yang Bo aside.

Yang Bo was confused and didn't know what was going on.

"How is this tripod?" Lu Dongxing asked.

Yang Bo did not hide anything, "It is real, and it is genuine. Although it is broken, this tripod is more valuable as a cultural relic than other tripods!"

Lu Dongxing was puzzled, "How can the cultural relics be more valuable even though they are already dilapidated?"

"Because this tripod is not broken now, but was damaged during the Huizong period of Song Dynasty. This is clearly recorded in the history books. Therefore, finding this tripod is of great significance in proving the authenticity of other bronze tripods."

Important meaning!”

Yang Bo explained, fearing that Lu Dongxing would not believe it, Yang Bo added: "After the Jiuding was cast, Song Huizong Zhao Ji moved the Jiuding to Jiucheng Palace. The next day, Zhao Ji went to Jiucheng Palace to perform the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods.

."

"But when he walked to the tripod in the north, the tripod suddenly broke and the water flowed outside. Zhao Ji stayed there at that time. Cai Jing immediately knelt down and said, Your Majesty, the crack of the tripod in the north means Liao.

There will be civil strife in the country, we can take the opportunity to destroy them, and the Song Dynasty will unify the world."

After hearing this, Lu Dongxing nodded and asked, "What are your plans? What will you do after you buy it?"

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the other party must have other plans, "Mr. Lu, you are the main one, you can buy it and do whatever you want with it!"

Lu Dongxing did not refuse, "I want to buy it and give it to the Jinling police together, and then donate it to the museum through them. What do you think?"

Of course Yang Bo didn't plan this way, but he couldn't speak at this time and could only nod, "This is a good idea. Let's deal with it as Mr. Lu said!"

Lu Dongxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will not be short of the commission you deserve!"

The next step is to discuss the price. In Li Si's situation, even if he is offered 10,000 yuan, he will accept it. But for a rich man like Lu Dongxing, these are just numbers. With a wave of his hand, "Brother Li Si"

, this tripod is worth one million, do you think you can accept it?"

Li Si was a little dumbfounded, and the whole person was stunned. The old man slapped him, "What are you still doing? Why don't you agree quickly?"

Li Si nodded and said, "Thank you so much!"

Lu Dongxing waved his hand, "You're welcome."

Naturally, someone has to worry about the subsequent payment. Yang Bo quickly pulled the old man towards the next house. There was not much time left for them. Now the people from the local cultural relics bureau must have started to set up card checks! But they couldn't wait for a while.

Yes, I haven’t thought of coming here.

The second house is more elegant, with a high-walled courtyard and a very beautiful two-story bungalow.

The old man knocked on the door and explained his purpose, and was greeted by a fat middle-aged man.

The fat man looked a little arrogant and said to the old man: "Uncle Wu, you have to make it clear to them that I won't sell this cauldron without two million. The one from Lao Er's house in front of me has been sold for one some time ago."

One and a half million!"

Yang Bo took a step forward and said, "The price is negotiable. Let's take a look at the goods first."

The middle-aged man did not insist anymore, and the group went to the backyard and soon saw a complete bronze tripod.

Yang Bo walked over and saw the word "Wind Cauldron" written on the inscription. He didn't even look at it anymore. He turned around and walked out, "Uncle, let's hurry up. What was the name of the one at the head of the village just now? His family also has one, right?"

?”

The old man was a little confused, "Is this the end?"

The middle-aged fat man asked anxiously: "What does this mean?"

Of course, Yang Bo couldn't explain to the other party that Feng Ding had been taken away by Yuan Yezi. This must be a fake. He had to say: "Because there are eight tripods in total, I can't want them all. I hope I can look at them first.

Choose two of the tripods!”

The middle-aged fat man said, "Since you have so many choices, don't come back later!"
