The unexpected happened quickly, and Zhang Yang changed his mind quickly as well. Anyway, he hadn't even started to imitate it yet, so it was just a waste of time shooting the Shuangyangzun video.

I'll go take another picture of the Kanghou Gui later.

But there is no rush for this matter now.

Now there is obviously something more meaningful than taking pictures of the Kanghou Gui, and that is...

Zhang Yang gently nudged Li Zi with his shoulder, then gave the woman a look.

Li Zi understood and immediately stepped forward, reverting to her image as a well-mannered business woman and establishing a relationship with the aunt.

This lady obviously has a background, or at least is a senior treasure lover. Since she was able to analyze that there is something wrong with the Double Sheep Zun, she might know clues about the real Double Sheep Zun.

Zhang Yang's original intention was to let Li Zi approach him and try his luck.

Unexpectedly, after chatting in the rest area nearby, he was surprised to find that the old lady had some relationship with him.

The aunt’s surname is Zhou. She and Professor Li’s wife, Ms. Ma, are former colleagues. They used to work in the same research institute.

When Professor Li and Teacher Ma got married, the aunt was there to help take photos.

"But I was just a minor character at that time. I guess Sister Ma and Brother Li don't even remember me."

Aunt Zhou sighed and also introduced her current situation:
"I am now mainly doing some cultural relics repatriation business in Europe, and I have not been in touch with the cultural and museum circles for many years."

"I basically come to the British Museum once every National Day. Firstly, I want to introduce the situation inside to the Chinese tourists, and secondly, I want to see if there are any things inside."

The first reason is easy to understand. At Aunt Zhou's age, after so many years in the antique business, she must have already achieved financial independence. It is normal for her to have special feelings for her fellow townspeople and be willing to help selflessly.

Zhang Yang felt that he would be the same if he became financially independent.

His previous dream was to wait until he became successful and famous, and then go to the antique market to help enlighten young people who wanted to find bargains.

But Aunt Zhou’s next reason is very intriguing.

She came to see if there were any missing artifacts in the British Museum...

That is why ah?

Anyway, they just met by chance and might not see each other again in the future, so Zhang Yang asked directly.

"Sister, have you received any special mission? Are you responsible for monitoring the cultural relics lost from our country in the British Museum?"

"Sister, you are not from the Dragon Group, are you?" Li Zi also echoed.

"What Dragon Group? I've never heard of it."

Aunt Zhou shook her head. She didn't know what the Dragon Group was. She didn't come to see the things in the Chinese Pavilion out of any noble sentiments. She simply thought the things in the British Museum were good and wanted to get two pieces.

"We Chinese antique dealers and collectors form a circle, and people in this circle are proud to receive items from museums in Britain and France."

"If something leaks out of the Louvre or the British Museum, everyone will go crazy looking for it. Whoever finds it will be amazing."

"Is it just, awesome?" Li Zi asked with some confusion.

She looked at Aunt Zhou's expression when she talked about this and thought it was so funny, like elementary school students competing with each other.

"Yes, what else can we do?" Aunt Zhou asked, "We are all in the same circle. If we don't compete on our ability to collect things, then we should compete on our wealth? Then we can just report the balance of our bank cards every month, right?"

"It seems... that's the truth." Li Zi nodded. As a rich and idle person, she suddenly felt that this circle was quite suitable for her.

It’s just a pity that she is mainly active in Qingzhou and London is too far away.

Seeing that Li Zi and the aunt had almost finished their conversation, Zhang Yang also raised his own question, asking about the whereabouts of the real Shuangyangzun. However, Aunt Zhou said that there was no solid evidence that the Shuangyangzun was fake.

It’s just that people in the circle spread the word that more than ten years ago, an insider stole the real Shuangyangzun and sold it.

The British Museum even closed for half a month, using the excuse of repairs, but in fact it was to take back the replica that had been sent to the country, which is the one now on display in the museum.

As for the authentic one, the aunt said that maybe one day, one might see it in an antique market in London.

It all depends on fate.

It actually means there is no play.

Since the aunt said so, it seems that she really doesn't know his whereabouts. Otherwise, if she revealed a little bit of information, she would win the admiring glances of Li Zi and Zhang Yang, and she would definitely not be stingy.

The few of them left their contact information with each other and then parted ways.

After the aunt left, Li Zi could finally ask the question that she had been holding back for a long time:
"Do you think the Shuangyangzun is what she said? Do we still want it? What is that Kanghou Gui? Is it more precious than the Shuangyangzun?"

"Hahaha, you have a million whys?" Zhang Yang gently patted Li Zi's head, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me and I will analyze it for you slowly."

"The probability that the Shuangyangzun is a fake is 50%. It is either real or fake. But the probability that the Kanghougui is real is 100%."

"Which is bigger, 100 or 50? I don't need to explain it to you..."

……

After taking pictures of the Kanghou Gui, Zhang Yang took Li Zi to look at other cultural relics in the Hua Xia exhibition hall one by one.

He also helped explain while watching, which helped Li Zi to catch up on some knowledge of Chinese cultural relics.

When they walked out of the museum, whenever passers-by talked about cultural relics, Li Zi would chat a little and express her own opinions.

Obviously, he is no longer the newbie he was before entering.

"Okay, after I go back this time, I won't have to endure Shen Yiyi's anger anymore!" Li Zi said excitedly, clenching her fists.

Although Zhang Yang knew that this was just her wishful thinking and that Shen Yiyi's knowledge of cultural relics was much better than hers who was just getting started, as long as the woman was happy, there was no need to expose her at this time.

And the two were soon distracted by an unexpected incident.

At the gate of the British Museum, at the entrance to the ground parking lot, there is a poster with a lot of visitors gathered in front of it.

And judging from their dress and body shape, they are basically Asian.

Zhang Yang and Li Zi were of course curious, so they quickly walked over to take a look at what was written on the poster.

The poster reads in Chinese in Song font:

"Due to poor management, the Royal Collection Art Museum in London is on the verge of bankruptcy. Some of the cultural relics in the museum are now sold to maintain the normal operation of the museum."

“The museum’s collection of cultural relics to be sold this time include: [Shang Dynasty, jade with collar] [Sui/Tang, gilt-bronze seated Buddha] [Ming Dynasty, 16th century, gilt-bronze seated monk Budai]…”

"All cultural relics are authentic and are subject to on-site inspection..."

The end of the poster states the time and location of the sale.

The time is the afternoon of October 10th, and the location is Pudding Lane in London.

The poster was written in Chinese, the time was chosen to be the last day of the National Day holiday, the cultural relics for sale were all Chinese cultural relics, and it was in front of the notorious British Museum...

Zhang Yang immediately understood that this trap was set up for the Chinese tourists who were visiting. (End of this chapter)
