Chapter 293 Something Happened

Under the influence of the learning card, Fang Hao started to make the plaque after a few days of research. Everything was carried out step by step. Although there were some twists and turns during the period, overall, it went smoothly.

At noon, just after Fang Hao finished his meal, Li Mingchao called him and told him anxiously that something happened to Ma Hongfei and he was detained now.

Fang Hao was very surprised, and quickly asked Li Mingchao what happened to Ma Hongfei. Li Mingchao told him that he couldn't understand on the phone. He was driving to Fang Hao's house now, and he would meet at the gate of the community, and reminded Fang Hao not to drive.

Fang Hao packed up his things immediately, and then came to the gate of the community to wait.

Not long after, Li Mingchao arrived. He was driving an ordinary domestic car this time. Fang Hao got into the car and asked what was going on.

Li Mingchao let out a long sigh: "It's not because of Duan Hai'er. I've advised him a long time ago that the cuts are constant and the reasoning is still chaotic. It's better to have a short pain and just break up, but he has not listened to it. This time it is because of Duan Haier It's about Haier."

As I said before, Ma Hongfei accepted a business banquet because of Duan Haier. At that time, the second generation of the rich was messing around with Duan Haier. Ma Hongfei happened to see that Duan Haier was sorry for him, and the two had an awkward relationship.

Afterwards, Ma Hongfei always wanted Duan Haier to change his career, but Duan Haier just didn't agree, and the two kept breaking up and reuniting.

Speaking of which, Fang Hao also persuaded Ma Hongfei to think carefully about emotional matters. Like them, sooner or later, the relationship will be exhausted. It is better to have a good talk. If the ideas really do not match, they should break up peacefully, so as not to torture themselves.

However, just like Li Mingchao said, Ma Hongfei did not listen to Fang Hao's persuasion, and his subsequent performance made everyone feel that his character was a bit weird.

A few days ago, Liu Shi had a drink with him, and the two of them opened up their hearts and had a good talk. Ma Hongfei finally decided to make a change, and wanted to clarify his relationship with Duan Haier.

Therefore, Ma Hongfei contacted Duan Haier and learned that Duan Haier had been hospitalized for his father's illness in the past few days, so he went back to his hometown to visit him. Look, try to persuade Duan Haier again, if Duan Haier still insists on doing this business, he will decide to break up with Duan Haier.

The day before he left, that is, the day before yesterday, Ma Hongfei had dinner with Li Mingchao at night and confided his troubles. Li Mingchao felt that he had caused it on his own, but he was just considering the authorities' obsession, so he advised him to separate and calm down.

Yesterday, Ma Hongfei went to Duan Haier's hometown. He didn't know what happened, so he contacted Li Mingchao in the morning, saying that he was detained because he broke someone's antiques, and asked Li Mingchao to redeem him.

Li Mingchao was very anxious after hearing this, thinking that Ma Hongfei had been kidnapped, but later learned that he was indeed detained for breaking the antiques.

But this made him very curious. Ma Hongfei did not contact Fang Hao, but contacted him. After all, Fang Hao is now a professional.

Li Mingchao originally wanted to know more about the situation, but Ma Hongfei's cell phone was running out of battery, and Ma Hongfei told him where he was now, and the call was cut off.

So, Li Mingchao quickly contacted Fang Hao.

Knowing the whole story, Fang Hao also had some doubts about Ma Hongfei's reaction, but the most important thing now is to confirm whether Ma Hongfei's safety is guaranteed.

"Did you help call the police?"

"No." Li Mingchao shook his head: "I think this matter is a little suspicious. If there is something hidden in it, calling the police may be detrimental to Ma Hongfei, so I didn't call the police, and according to the meaning of the phone, what the other party wants is to pay the compensation in place. , should not do anything to Ma Hongfei."

"It's not certain. Maybe Ma Hongfei was threatened by others." Fang Hao shook his head. He has been in the antique industry for less than half a year, but he has encountered many sinister people. In a situation like Ma Hongfei, there is no doubt that he will make good or bad plans. wrong.

"Then you mean, let's call the police?"

"Need not."

Fang Hao waved his hand: "The situation you mentioned is also possible, so I plan to ask someone for help to see if I can invite a policeman to go with us. If we encounter danger, it will not put us in danger."

Li Mingchao agreed with Fang Hao's opinion.

So, Fang Hao called Qian Min and told Qian Min about the matter. Qian Min was very happy and said that he would help Fang Hao contact colleagues he knew well, and at the same time let Fang Hao be careful not to be head-on.

Li Mingchao's opinion was that it would be more convenient to go there by car, so Li Mingchao drove over in an ordinary car. If he drove Fang Hao's car, he would probably be severely slaughtered.

After more than four hours, I finally arrived at a county under the jurisdiction of Xingzhou. This place has always been the poorest place in Xingzhou. This can be seen from the scenery on both sides of the road.

The travel and dust servants rushed here from the capital, and they just ate something on the way. The two of them were tired and hungry, so they hurriedly went to a hotel to open two business rooms, and then found a snack bar nearby, and ate something .

After that, Fang Hao contacted the person introduced by Qian Min and made an appointment to meet at the hotel.

The two returned to their respective rooms to take a shower. Fang Hao had just finished washing and changed his clothes when he heard a knock on the door.

Through the cat's eyes, Fang Hao saw two middle-aged men standing outside the door, one was more rugged, and the other was the opposite of him, more gentle.

Fang Hao opened the door: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

When the gentle middle-aged man heard Fang Hao's voice, his eyes were slightly surprised, but immediately he smiled and said, "Excuse me, are you Teacher Fang?"

Hearing the man's conversation, the man next to him was obviously stunned, and his eyes became suspicious.

Fang Hao recognized the gentle man's voice, and was quite surprised. He didn't expect that this was the colleague introduced by Qian Min, Zhang Qingfan. In terms of appearance, he thought the one next to him was the one.

"I am Fang Hao, you are Brother Zhang, please come in." Fang Hao hurriedly invited the two into the room.

Zhang Qingfan brought his companions into the room, and Fang Hao made tea for them.

"Brother Zhang, I have to trouble you to make a trip, I'm really sorry."

Zhang Qingfan waved his hand: "It's okay, we are all friends. Actually, I also have something I want to ask you for help."

"Please say."

When Fang Hao saw Zhang Qingfan's companion carrying a big box in his hand, he made some guesses.

Zhang Qingfan signaled his companions to open the box, and the first thing Fang Hao saw was a white glazed square plate.

Zhang Qingfan said: "To tell you the truth, the items in the box were found at the scene of a murder. Apart from these items in the box, there were not many clues left at the scene. These items may be the key to solving the case. We also asked experts to appraise it before, but we didn’t find many finds. This time, you just came here, so I want to ask you to take a look.”

The reason why Zhang Qingfan came up with this idea was also because of Qian Min's praise of Fang Hao, but he didn't expect Fang Hao to be so young. If he hadn't considered that Qian Min couldn't make such a joke, he would have thought he had encountered a liar.

"I will do my best."

Fang Hao picked up the porcelain and looked it over carefully.

The plate is made of square Japanese horns, with straight walls and flat bottom. The bottom of the foot is unglazed, and the inscription Ying is engraved.There are ridges and jomon decorations at the corners of the wobo, and jomon belts are decorated at the junction of the wall and the bottom to separate the decorations.The wall and the center of the plate are decorated with flower patterns with the technique of draining powder, and the decoration is uneven.

Obviously, judging from all aspects of performance, this should be a piece of white porcelain from the Xing Kiln of the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Xing kiln white porcelain embodies the highest level of white porcelain production in the Tang Dynasty, and was paid tribute to the imperial court as a local specialty at that time.According to research, those who signed the word "Ying" are generally believed to be related to the "Daying Treasury" in the palace.

Daying warehouse is recorded in "New Book of Tang" and "Old Book of Tang". It was called "Daying Bank of Hundred Treasures" during Emperor Xuanzong and Suzong's reign.The Daying Treasury is the largest warehouse in the palace for storing gold and silver treasures. The property in this warehouse can only be controlled and used by the emperor.

Therefore, as long as the Xing kiln white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty with the inscription Ying is small, it is generally regarded as the tribute porcelain used by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty.

When Fang Hao closed his gaze, Zhang Qingfan quickly asked, "Did you find anything?"

Since it was related to the progress of the murder case, Fang Hao didn't make a fuss, and said honestly: "I think the authenticity of this porcelain is doubtful."

This sentence made both of them startled, especially Zhang Qingfan's companion, who immediately said loudly: "Impossible!"

Fang Hao looked at the middle-aged man: "May I ask what your name is, sir?"

Zhang Qingfan said: "I'm really sorry, I forgot to introduce you just now, this is Cai Zonghui, a researcher from our Bureau of Cultural Relics."

Fang Hao immediately understood that it must have been appraised by Cai Zonghui's organization before, and he might still think it was genuine, which is why he was so excited now.

"Teacher Cai, let me tell you first, the basis for such a judgment."

Cai Zonghui also knew that he was too excited, so he nodded slightly: "Go ahead."

Fang Hao explained to the two: "No matter how good the quality of Xing Kiln white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was, and no matter how advanced the craftsmanship, there were limitations of the times. However, Xing Kiln white porcelain was generally fired with firewood, and the kiln was not very large. It is bluish in the middle, and there are water green flashes in the glaze. This piece of porcelain is indeed made like it, but the so-called exaggeration is too much, and the work is too fine.

Then there is its style. The authentic products are carved on the outer bottom of the utensils after they are formed and before they are fired. God, not up to par.Still the same sentence, the spirits displayed by the ancients were different in different environments, which is difficult for modern people to imitate. "

After hearing these words, Cai Zonghui was still unconvinced: "Then we did an identification with instruments, which showed that it was indeed made in the Tang Dynasty. How do you explain it?"

Fang Hao said: "Let me tell you a story. There was an incident in Xijing. Some local counterfeiters used bricks unearthed from the tombs of the Qin Dynasty, ground the bricks into powder, and made them into the shape of pottery figurines. , fired, and then took this pottery figurine to an instrument for testing. No matter how you test it, it is from the Qin Dynasty.

How does the instrument distinguish this situation?

Furthermore, it is quite normal for counterfeiters to use chemical analysis to assist counterfeiting. They can completely deceive the instrument through analysis and composition of formula.

Therefore, I think that in addition to the identification of instruments, the identification of porcelain mainly focuses on the serious historical analysis of the shape, glaze, pattern, and pattern of porcelain.

For example, if we see a phoenix-tailed vase marked as Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty, we can be sure that it is not from the Song Dynasty.Because the phoenix-tailed bottle was only created and fired during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible for Ru Kiln to make such a variety, and it must be an imitation of later generations.This is how historical experience tells us how to identify. "

In fact, there is another point that Fang Hao did not say clearly. He thinks that Cai Zonghui only cares about the real objects, and he may seldom go to the antique market, and he does not know much about the development of the contemporary counterfeit market.

Nowadays, technology is advanced, consultation is smooth, and with the help of various instruments and communication, various means of fraud emerge in endlessly. If you do not understand this market in time, it is likely that you will fall behind after a period of time, and then you will be fooled.

It's just that, on this occasion, saying such words may make Cai Zonghui feel ironic about him.

Fang Hao went on to say: "Of course, there may be problems with my judgment. It is recommended to invite experts in related fields to re-identify, so as not to make a mistake."

After hearing Fang Hao's words, Cai Zonghui had nothing to say. Although he still didn't want to believe Fang Hao's judgment, it was the fact that he couldn't find a reason to refute it now.

In addition to this piece of porcelain, there are other pieces of porcelain in the box, as well as jade, miscellaneous items, etc., but they are all fakes.

"what!"

Just when Fang Hao thought that there was nothing worth appreciating among these things, a piece of blue and white porcelain came into his sight.

He picked up the tile and looked at it, and was immediately shocked.

As we all know, the material used in the Yongxuan period was imported "Su Ma Li Qing" material; Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde in the middle period used domestic equal green material, also known as Potang Green; Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli in the late Ming Dynasty used The imported recycled green material is used together with pebble green.

Sumaliqing material has been praised by people because of its unique hair color performance, and it has basically failed to imitate.

However, on this piece of porcelain, there is a unique mark of Su Maliqing, "eating fetus". Su materials have four characteristics in eating tires, namely: "sag", "reticulate pattern", "beaded string" and "tin light".

As for this piece of porcelain, apart from the unnatural "tin light" at the end, Fang Hao couldn't find any problems with the other features.

This is more terrifying!Such a performance, it is no exaggeration to say, can deceive many ancient porcelain lovers.

How could there be such a high level of imitation, and it still appeared in the form of a piece of broken porcelain, and it was still related to the clues of the murder? Fang Hao couldn't help thinking about it.

Seeing something wrong with Fang Hao's expression, Zhang Qingfan quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Fang Hao pointed to the tile and said, "Didn't you find any problems with it?"

Based on Fang Hao's performance just now, Cai Zonghui asked weakly: "Is there any problem with it?"

Fang Hao sighed inwardly, and explained the issue of the tiles to the two of them clearly.

After Cai Zonghui heard this, his cheeks were as red as if he was drunk.
