Chapter 135 The Forbidden City!Get your money back!
Wei Chengbin said: "Sir, to be honest with you, I was forced to take this step."
“Although it is expropriation and demolition, the subsidy money is not saved in the hands of the villagers!”
"If there is someone in the family who is uncooperative, it can range from punching and kicking to the point where the family can no longer make a living. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone all the way north!"
His tone was choked.
Lin Ran watched for a while. The other party's attitude was sincere and it didn't look like he was acting.
Wei Chengbin was so diligent in selling antiques in Panjiayuan. After selling a batch in the morning, he dared to continue out in the afternoon. Not only was he brave, but he was really in trouble.
"Even if you are in urgent need of money, selling counterfeit cultural relics to the Palace Museum is a very serious crime."
Lin Ran mourned his misfortune and was angry that he would not fight.
With such a forgery ability, whether you go to a treasure appraisal shop to become a master craftsman or, like a local master, join the national archaeological team and become a cultural relic restorer, it is a promising activity.
But he chose the most severe path of counterfeiting and selling.
One hundred and eight people from Liangshan, Qi Fei are all heroes!
Lin Ran motioned for him to raise his head: "A man should kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents. There is no need to be so humble."
"Please help me, sir!" Wei Chengbin did not stand up. It was not difficult to see that he was really scared.
Although on the surface he hid it from Mr. Qin of the National Palace Museum, in fact, his works were still flawed.
Lin Ran could see it, and as long as Mr. Qin and the others were given a certain amount of time, they would also be able to see it, and then they would be in trouble!
Since the other party had already made a request, Lin Ran agreed to help him solve the problem.
He immediately took out some banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Wei Chengbin.
Wei Chengbin was a little surprised when Lin Ran suddenly took out the money and handed it to him.
"Sir, are you?"
"You should take this money first. Although it won't help you much, it should be enough for your expenses in the capital." Lin Ran sighed, and then said: "As for the money you defrauded from the Forbidden City Museum, you should pay it back first. Bar."
It's just a matter of deceiving individual buyers. After all, there are indeed quite a few textual traps in his words.
But the Forbidden City is an official existence from any point of view. Once the charges of deceiving the museum and selling counterfeit cultural relics are confirmed, even jumping into the Yellow River will not be able to clear it!
After Lin Ran analyzed the pros and cons with him, Wei Chengbin agreed.
"Thank you, sir. Your church will definitely keep it in mind." Wei Chengbin stood up, with more admiration in his eyes.
"I will go to the Forbidden City Museum now, find Mr. Qin, and redeem the fakes I sold."
Hearing this, Lin Ran also showed a happy smile.
You can enter the exhibition hall of the National Palace Museum by buying tickets, but if you want to see Mr. Qin and others, you can't just meet them casually.
"I'm afraid it's not easy for you to meet Mr. Qin." Lin Ran replied.
"That's why I want to ask sir for help." Wei Chengbin said sincerely.
As a staff member of the National Museum, Lin Ran knew how to get to the management center of the Palace Museum.
"Okay, since you are determined, I will go with you." Lin Ran agreed.
They now winked at Yang Jianlong.
Yang Jianlong understood, walked up to Wei Chengbin, and said, "Take my car there."
The National Palace Museum is some distance away from Panjiayuan.
It takes at least an hour to get there by rickshaw.
Fortunately, there is a car nearby. If you take a car, you can control the time within half an hour.
After all, it is already around 02:30 in the afternoon. According to Lin Ran's understanding of the Forbidden City Museum, it will stop receiving external tourists around 4 o'clock.
Then there will be no way to enter the Forbidden City.
"Without further delay, let's set off quickly." Lin Ran said.
He estimated that it was almost time for Cai Yan and others to return to the Palace Museum.
They must be wondering at this moment why Wei Chengbin acted like smashing cultural relics.
But they are not fools. When they go back and think about it carefully, they will think that Wei Chengbin is running away from something?
Therefore, it is very likely that he will take out the Tang Sancai he sold before and watch it again.
I wonder if they can see the clues. After all, the trajectory of history has changed with the appearance of Lin Ran.
Following the original trajectory, the three-color camel figurine is the key to exposing Wei Chengbin's whereabouts.
Wei Chengbin still held the red cloth in his hand and asked, "Sir, what should we do with these fragments?"
"Bring it with you." Lin Ran just used the fragments to explain to the other party, and at the same time, it could also show that Wei Chengbin did not want to sell the fakes to the Palace Museum.
"Okay." Wei Chengbin originally wanted to hide it from the public by destroying the corpse and eradicating traces. Obviously, he did not hide it, but it was also evidence that his conscience was still intact.
Fortunately, I didn't throw it directly into the trash can just now.
He carefully put away the fragments with a red cloth, held them in his hands, and followed Lin Ran quickly.
Yang Jianlong's car stopped at the entrance of Panjiayuan. It was the peak period for tourists from Panjiayuan.
Many people saw Lin Ran and Wei Chengbin.
They couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, and they also had their own speculations.
"Isn't this the stall owner who just sold the three-color figurines and the man who said he was selling fakes?"
"It seems like, wasn't it Yang Jianlong who opened the car door?"
"How come the three of them get together?"
"In my opinion, that boy is the master brought by Yang Jianlong. On the surface, he despises the other party for selling fake goods, but in fact, he wants to take him home."
"It's definitely possible. From the look of them, it looks like they're driving somewhere."
Passers-by couldn't help but sigh.
Given Yang Jianlong's family background, he might have to buy all the three-color figurines.
"So, knowing people but not their hearts, deliberately trying to dismantle Mr. Qin is actually paving the way for his own profit."
"It's really shameless!"
"The stall owner is also a profit-seeking villain. If I have these goods, even if they are handed over to the state, they will never be sold to private individuals."
The voices of passers-by pointing and pointing reached their ears.
Wei Chengbin opened his mouth several times, wanting to refute.
But he was stopped by Lin Ran.
"It's up to other people to say whatever they want." Lin Ran opened the back door and walked in.
Wei Chengbin looked back at the passers-by and then at Lin Ran inside the car.
He turned around and shook his head at the people, which seemed to be a silent accusation.
Then he got into the car without hesitation.
After Yang Jianlong saw the two people getting into the car, he immediately started the engine.
As the car roared, it gradually disappeared from people's sight.
Passers-by at the gate of Panjiayuan watched them go away, and many people also noticed Wei Chengbin's last look.
They looked at each other, and after a long time someone said, "Why did the stall owner look at us just now, as if we were looking at beggars?"
"Look at how powerful he is, how he pretends to be elegant even though he's making money."
"That's right, next time he comes again, let's not give him face and curse him to death!"
