“Okay, have your bodyguards drive the helicopter in, and then use the ropes to pull us up and fly away.”

“Hahaha, where did the helicopter come from? You’re not behaving yourself again.” Li Zi rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, “Tell me, how are you going to expose him?”

“It’s actually quite simple…”

Zhang Yang briefly revealed his thoughts:

When it is the old man’s turn to pay, the host will interview the unlucky man like a wedding emcee and ask him what his relationship with the old man is.

Then Zhang Yang would cheer from the bottom and remind the big brother.

The rest depends on big brother’s luck.

If he can’t react to this, then we can only say that he is destined to be deceived, and even gods cannot save him.

“Then how are you going to remind him?” Li Zi asked curiously.

“It’s just making trouble. Don’t you know how to do that?”

“No.” Li Zi shook her head in confusion. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had never been able to make a fuss in her life.

“Okay, then you can just be a spectator for a while.”

Zhang Yang stood calmly by the side, waiting for the protagonists of this play to appear.

Soon, the old man who was acting as the babysitter pulled the eldest brother, who looked reluctant, onto the stage.

To be honest, if Zhang Yang hadn’t known in advance the relationship between the uncle and the eldest brother, that they were a liar and a victim, he would have thought they were a stubborn father and a depressed son just by looking at their appearance.

The host first congratulated the two people for winning the most valuable treasure in this auction.

None of the other items are as stunning as this Kabala robe.

Then, the host exchanged glances with Zhang Yang, and passed the microphone to the man in a suit:

“Interview this elder brother. Are you traveling to London with your father? Is it you who wants to buy this item, or your father?”

“Huh?” The eldest brother turned his head and looked at the host in shock, thinking, what does this question mean?

What’s wrong? I lent money out of kindness, but ended up lending out a father?
The friends at the scene didn’t know that this was a design by Zhang Yang and the host, and they thought it was a special segment prepared by the organizer. Some people even applauded spontaneously, as if to welcome the big brother to give a speech.

Zhang Yang took the opportunity to cover his mouth and said, “What a filial young man, he brought his father out for a trip and bought him antiques.”

“Pfft——” Li Zi almost burst out laughing. If Zhang Yang hadn’t quickly covered her mouth, the auntie with the ramen hair in front of her would have had her hairstyle in vain.

Zhang Yang’s inexplicable words were still very effective, and someone immediately echoed:
“This young man is great. My son is not so filial.”

“Alas, my kid only knows how to live off his parents. I won’t even ask him to go out with me on a trip. Look at other people’s. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with them!”

“My son wanted to come out, but I wouldn’t let him. It’s better for him to stay at home and work honestly. I can only spend my pension, so he can’t expect to benefit from it…”

The uncles and aunts were talking to each other. The elder brother on the stage was very embarrassed and almost snatched the microphone from the host and said:

“Don’t get me wrong, he’s not my dad. I’m just here to help him pay.”

“Help me pay the bill, so it’s a male secretary! Rich people nowadays really know how to have fun!” It was still Zhang Yang who spoke, but this time he spoke in a pinched voice.

“Yes, yes. He brings a male secretary when traveling abroad. What kind of big boss is he?” Li Zi also imitated Jiazi’s way of speaking.

The big brother on the stage had to explain again:

“I’m not a secretary either. I’m just helping this uncle with some money. He doesn’t have enough foreign currency with him, so I’m here to help him out temporarily.”

“Don’t get me wrong.”

After this was said, it was the turn of the others present to feel that something was wrong.

Even though everyone seemed not very smart when bidding at the auction just now, in fact, none of these people are fools, especially when it comes to playing tricks on each other.

Many buyers are retired cadres who have been dealing with people all their lives, especially some middle-aged women who are very cunning when bargaining with people when they go out to buy vegetables.

They thought carefully from the perspective of an observer and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the situation of the old man and the young man in front of them.

There was an old man in the crowd who looked like an old cadre and asked directly:
“Young man, why did you lend money to someone at the auction? Did you know each other before? Or did you just meet today?”

This is concerned about the relationship between the eldest brother and the child. Another uncle was more direct and asked:
“How much money did you lend him? Are you sure he can pay it back? If he takes the things and runs away after you leave, do you know how to call the police?”

But the smartest one was the aunt who had argued with Li Zi before. She chose to attack from the side and asked the silent old man next to her:
“I’ve never seen this guy before. Is there anyone here with you? Or which tour group did you join? Where are you from? Maybe we are from the same hometown!”

A group of elderly men and women who are older, more experienced and more curious help analyze the problem from various angles.

Soon the big brother on the stage was made to lack confidence.

The posture of holding the purse also switched from payment mode to defense mode, as if he was afraid that someone would steal his money, even though there was actually no cash in his bag.

As for the old man who was acting as the babysitter, he reacted quickly. Upon seeing the change in the eldest brother, he squeezed out of the crowd and secretly slipped out through the staff passage.

Zhang Yang followed him with his eyes for a while, but after the other party went around two corners, he disappeared completely.

However, the tot ran away, the eldest brother’s problem was solved, and Zhang Yang achieved his goal.

He gave the host a thumbs up from a distance to commend his outstanding contribution in this matter.

The host understood and smiled kindly at Zhang Yang. He felt like he had finally retained his nationality.

But the next second he was dumbfounded.

What should I do with this Kapal robe?

The buyer ran away, and the big brother who was about to pay is now thanking everyone one by one. Who will accept this thing?

He could only bite the bullet and ask:
“Is there anyone else who wants this vestment? Since the previous seller gave up, the next buyer to bid is now the second highest. Who was the second-to-last bidder?”

No one paid any attention to him. After he repeated it many times, someone told him that the person who made the second to last bid did not win anything and had never been here. He was probably almost at the hotel by now.

“Is the third from the bottom here?”

A burly man stood up:

“I’m the third from the bottom, but I’m a very particular person. When bidding for this item, I lost to the second-to-last guy, so I should give him priority.”

“But the second to last one is not here!” said the host helplessly.

“I don’t want the second to last one.” Someone in the crowd said, holding up a phone. He had just called that person to communicate, and the other party felt that the organizer was walking his dog and didn’t want to buy it.

The host quickly turned his attention to the big brother with a face full of flesh.

But the third-to-last bidder shook his head: “If he doesn’t want it, then I don’t want it either. A real man won’t accept charity!”

The host was still trying to find the fourth-to-last buyer, but at this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

“Okay, no need to look for him.” Zhang Yang stood up helplessly. After all, the host was helping him to save his unlucky brother, and now he was in such a dilemma. It was a bit embarrassing for Zhang Yang to just watch from the bottom. He had no choice but to act as a trouble terminator.

The old men and women present at the auction still remembered the head-on confrontation with Master Li at the auction, so when they saw Zhang Yang stand up, they all kept their mouths shut and wanted to hear what he had to say.

What no one expected was that Zhang Yang came up and said sorry to everyone present:
“Sorry, everyone. I was busy being affectionate with my girlfriend during the auction just now, so I didn’t have time to look at this item carefully.”

Li Zi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and covered her mouth shyly.

The other people present had mixed feelings after hearing this, especially the person who had called Zhang Yang to help with the identification.

Why does this mouthful of dog food taste bitter?

Zhang Yang didn’t mean to show off his affection, he was just looking for an angle to get in on the topic. What really mattered was the next sentence:
“Now that I have some free time, I took a closer look at the item. There must be something wrong with it.”

“This so-called robe is not made of the bones of a great monk, but of animal bones. I am not completely sure what animal’s bones it is made of, but I am sure that some parts are made of cow bones.”

Among the many categories of collections in ancient China, ox bone carvings are one of them. Although unpopular, there are many of them.

When Zhang Yang unlocked the ability to copy, he also unlocked the related carving skills, so the bone texture on the robe was clear at a glance.

He speculated that in addition to cow bones, sheep bones and pig bones were also possible, but there was a high probability that there were no similar bones.

The reason is that this thing requires too many materials. The bones from sky burials were collected to make fake skulls that are more profitable, and would not be used to make a robe that might not be sold.

“As for the age of this thing, I can basically confirm that it is a modern imitation, but it uses some aged bones, so this thing can even fool some detection machines.”

“If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I have nothing else to say.”

“Oh, I almost forgot one more thing, host. Since there is a problem with this item, just withdraw the bidding. Don’t waste everyone’s time. It’s dinner time in an hour.”

Originally, everyone was still thinking about whether they had any questions to ask the young man in front of them.

But when they heard the last sentence, they all reacted: Yes, it’s time for dinner.

The buyers present almost unanimously urged the host to hurry up and not waste time.

Chinese restaurants in the UK close very early. If they close too late, you may only be able to eat instant noodles at night.

……

Coming out of the auction venue, two burly bodyguards protected Zhang Yang and helped lift the bronze double-ram urn into the car.

How to get this thing back to China is still a problem, but Zhang Yang doesn’t intend to think too much about it. He plans to hand it over to Professor Li.

I was worried that if I replaced it with the Kanghou Gui, I would have to spend a lot of time explaining it to Professor Li, but now it’s okay, the Shuangyangzun is here.

Just ask Professor Li directly what price he can offer. If the conditions are good enough, you can even ask Zhang Yang to donate the items. After all, there is still the Kanghou Gui waiting.

It is enough to have one representative work in Tukeng section.

The next morning, after waking up, Zhang Yang called Professor Li on the balcony.

It was 10 a.m. in the UK, and 6 p.m. in China. The first thing Zhang Yang asked Professor Li was:

“Good evening, Professor. Have you eaten?”

“Why? Do people in London greet each other like this?” Professor Li asked with a smile.

“I just had dinner. Come on, why did you call me out of the blue? Do you have any good news to tell me?”

“Professor, are you so sure it’s a happy event?”

“Besides happy events, what else can happen to you, kid? Would you call me if something bad happened?”

“Hehe, it seems so.” Zhang Yang felt that Professor Li had read his cards, but it didn’t matter. The other party would definitely not be able to guess what he was going to say next.

“Then Professor Li, guess what good news I want to tell you today?”

“From your tone, does it mean that Shuangyang Zun has made any progress?”

“Almost, but I’ve run into a bit of trouble and need your help, Professor.”

Hearing Zhang Yang’s words, Professor Li’s attitude immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
“It’s okay. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Isn’t this what we have discussed before? I have some friends in England who may be able to help you.”

“Okay.” Zhang Yang simply responded. Professor Li’s attitude made him feel comfortable. Only people like him would make others want to continue communicating.

“Here is the thing. I have two choices now. One is the Shuangyang Zun, and the other is the Kanghou Gui.”

“I’m a little undecided about which one to bring back.”

“…”

There was a brief silence of ten seconds on the phone, and neither Zhang Yang nor Professor Li spoke.

Finally, Professor Li broke the silence: “And then? What difficulties did you encounter?”

“What difficulty does each item correspond to?”

“No, just choose one of these two.”

“Oh my god, it’s so difficult to choose.” Professor Li had already prepared himself mentally to use his connections to help Zhang Yang, but now he almost vomited blood.

The emotions that had been brewing for half a day were wasted.

“Zhang Yang, you’re here to show off to me, right? Are you really just going to pick between the two?”

“Well, it’s really random, so I can’t decide now. The difficulty of getting the two is about the same. They are both very easy.”

“Uh…” Professor Li groaned, and soon he was in a dilemma.

The Shuangyangzun is certainly good, but the Kanghou Gui is not bad either.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

He now understood how difficult the choice Zhang Yang mentioned was.

Fortunately, Professor Li had eaten more salt than Zhang Yang had eaten rice, and he quickly thought of a solution – that is, not to solve it.

“There’s no rush to choose one. Zhang Yang, please think about it. After you’ve chosen, is there anything else I can help you with?”

“From the time you get the stuff, until it’s handed over to me for research, is there any problem in any link during this whole process?”

“Well… let me think about it…”

“It’s okay, take your time to think about it.” Professor Li said with a smile: “When you have thought it through, feel free to call me.”

“I will immediately call a meeting with the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau to discuss which bronze artifact to choose!” (End of this chapter)
