Chapter 361 Taking advantage of the fire

"Brother Yi, isn't this... suitable?" Sanpao did not agree to Peng Bin's words, but looked at Fang Yi.

"Sanpao, accept it, my brother's heart..."

Fang Yi nodded at Sanpao. He was originally a person who had no idea about money. In his opinion, brotherhood was far more important than money. Although this enamel porcelain bottle was expensive, it was still a dead thing, so how could it compare to their brotherly relationship.

"Okay, thank you Brother Peng!" Sanpao and Fatty have always been the only one who follows Fang Yi. Since Fang Yi nodded, there is no scruples.

"You're welcome, you're all your brothers..."

Peng Bin waved his hand indifferently, then touched his big bald head, and said, "Grandma, I really don't know that there is such a valuable thing at home. I'd sold it a few years ago..."

When the Peng family decided to ban smoking in the late 1980s, there was a period of time when the economy was very tight, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as not being able to expose the blame. However, Boss Peng was strong and finally survived and did not sell the things passed down from his ancestors in the family.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, it is similar to Peng Bin. Boss Peng did not think how much these things were worth at that time. He fought all over the world and never read books for a few years. In the early years, he couldn't even understand what the artwork was, so naturally he didn't know the price of antiques.

"Boss Peng, you have a lot of antiques here. Do you want me to take a look for you?" Sanpao saw the object that had a whole antique shelf and asked casually: "Boss Peng, this enamel porcelain bottle is an object in the palace. Where did you get it back then?"

"How could I know this..."

Sanpao asked Peng Bin, touched his bald head, Peng Bin pointed to a thread-bound book on the ancient shelf and said, "By the way, there is this booklet here, what is recorded is the source of these things, you can find out if you check..."

"Brother Yi, they are all traditional Chinese characters, so you'd better come and see..." Sanpao picked up the booklet and flipped it out, and handed it to Fang Yi with a wry smile. He and Fatty couldn't even recognize the simplified Chinese characters, let alone the traditional Chinese characters.

"This brush is well written..."

Fang Yi took the booklet and found that the booklet was written in a vertical way from right to left. The fonts on it were very elegant, recording the origin and origin of each object, and were written in detail.

"Fang Yi, no matter where it comes from, don't look at it, I'll take you to see the meteorite I collected..." Fang Yi looked there seriously, and Peng Bin was a little impatient. Anyway, the things were at his house, so what did it matter where they got them from.

"Finished..." Fang Yi raised his head and shouted, but the expression on his face was a little strange.

"Where did you get it?" Peng Bin asked casually.

"Brother, all the things in this kind of thing were stolen, and they were obtained by taking advantage of the situation..." Fang Yi said with a wry smile.

"Snatched it? Well, it fits the style of our ancestors..."

Peng Bin laughed when he heard this. The Peng family was originally from the green forest of the rivers and lakes. Their first did a business of robbing the house. In his early years, the property was basically robbed, so Peng Bin was not surprised when he heard Fang Yi's words.

"And it's the one who robbed the royal family, brother, your ancestors are amazing..." Fang Yi said, giving Peng Bin a thumbs up.

The booklet records clearly that the Peng family in Sichuan Province was implicated by the affairs of Tan Sitong and others, which made the head of the Peng family very angry. After the decision was made to migrate, some people in the Peng family had the idea of ​​revenge on the society and then leaving.

To do it, one must do it big. At that time, the biggest rich man in the country was of course the royal family. Moreover, in the late Qing Dynasty, the royal family declined, and the common people, especially those of the powerful people like the Peng family, had limited fear of them. So some of the Peng family's powerful kung fu came to the capital.

Originally, these people from the Peng family came to the capital at the risk of being beheaded, but what they didn't expect was that the trip was completely unstoppable and had a lot of rewards. They pulled two carts of treasure back to Sichuan Province.

The reason is very simple. The Peng family went to the capital in 1900. That year, it was the time when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and entered the capital. When the Peng family members entered the city at the end of August, Lord Lafayette and Emperor Guangxu had already fled to Xi'an City, and the entire capital was in chaos.

In this chaos, the Peng family naturally relaxed. They not only snatched two carts of property from the Old Summer Palace, but also killed many people from the Eight-Nation Alliance at that time. During that time, the Eight-Nation Alliance thought it was Boxer Regiment and mingled into the capital, and even launched a full-scale search for this.

The Peng family entered the capital and entered the city with the Eight-Nation Alliance. At that time, the capital had just begun to be robbed, so the things the Peng family snatched were all royal fine products, just the enamelware from the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, and there were no less than ten pieces in this room.

"Haha, I didn't expect that my ancestors did such a big thing?"

After hearing Fang Yi explain the things recorded in the booklet, Peng Bin smiled very comfortably. He did not expect that the family robbed them once before being left by the destruction court, which could have relieved Peng Bin's hatred.

"Brother, try not to take out your things here for auction..." After closing the booklet, Fang Yi's face became solemn.

Before going down the mountain, Fang Yi had a very faint concept of family and country, and it can be said that he did not. After living in the mountain for so many years, his master was Fang Yi's heaven, and cultivation was Fang Yi's only spiritual motivation. Apart from that, Fang Yi didn't know what he should do.

However, after going down the mountain, Fang Yi followed Sun Lianda to learn about antique identification, but was instilled by the old man that many important national weapons cannot be passed down. Whenever some precious antiques in China were looted abroad, Sun Lianda always beat his chest and stamped his feet and regretted it.

So seeing that the Peng family actually collected so many fine palace products, Fang Yi naturally didn't want these things to be lost. If possible, he still hoped that these things would be able to return to China in the future.

"If the things left by our ancestors are rich, they will naturally not be taken out for auction, but if they are out of money, why should they keep them? Look at how big the rice bowl is, who can use them to make a living?"

Peng Bin was a little confused about Fang Yi's words. In his opinion, these things were all flashy and unreal. They looked very good as decorations, but they had no practical value at all. When he heard Fang Yi say that these things were very valuable, Peng Bin really wanted to sell them all.

"Brother, if you want to sell it, sell it to me..." Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this and said, "I still have some money on my hands. Although I can't buy all of it, it's okay to buy a part of it. Brother, what do you think?"

Fang Yi wanted to buy these things, in addition to the value and meaning of the objects themselves, there was another reason, that is, these ancient objects have a long history, and Fang Yi could feel the profound sense of vicissitudes of time from them. He also wanted to study his magical powers from these objects.

"Brother, do you want it?"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Peng Bin's face appeared in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he spoke: "Fang Yi, it is logical that these ragged iron bottles and jars should not be charged for you, but these are not collected by the elder brother, but are family things, so I have to discuss with the tribe members..."

With Peng Bin's temper and personality, if these things were his own, they would definitely be given to Fang Yi directly. However, Peng Bin gave one or two pieces of the family's collection, but if they were given all of them, Peng Bin could not explain to his clan members.

"Okay, brother, give me this booklet first..." Fang Yi thought for a while and said, "I will turn around and bid for the current price of each item and then report it to you..."

Although the domestic art market has been very popular in recent years, the price has not reached an outrageous level. Fang Yi estimated that with his current net worth, he could still buy most of it. In addition to his relationship with Peng Bin, Fang Yi did not want to take advantage of the Peng family.
