Chapter 5 Museum Secrets
After looking at the time, at 4 pm, there was still an hour before the museum was closed, and it was too late to squeeze into the bus. There was no time for the college entrance examination tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Song Yi waved to the taxi after leaving the school gate.
In Donghai in 1994, many old houses were not demolished, and they were very nostalgic. Song Yi didn’t have time to take a closer look, but he felt that the road conditions were good at this time. He arrived at the entrance of Donghai Museum in less than ten minutes.
The museum is not free yet, and most people need to buy tickets to enter. They stop selling tickets after 4 pm. Song Yi's grandfather Song Shibo is the deputy director. He is familiar with the museum staff, and he said hello to the security guard and went in.
Thinking of the important cultural relics that were lost in the reports in the previous life, the ancient bronze tripod of the Shang Dynasty, the picture of Tang Yin's Spring Mountain companion, the picture of Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone, etc., these are all genuine works of celebrities, but in the end they are missing, which is really heartbreaking.
Song Yi started to visit the Bronze Statue Museum on the first floor. There were not many people visiting the museum, and the staff were very leisurely. When they saw him coming, someone greeted him, "Isn't Xiaoyi going to take the college entrance examination? Why are you still in the mood to visit the museum?"
The person who talked to him was Zhao Jianxiang, who was a good person and talked a lot. Zhao Jianxiang’s old employee of Donghai Museum, but when he retired, he was just an old employee.
Song Yi is still good at taking pictures of others. Ordinary employees like Zhao Jianxiang must not have participated in the feast of dividing cultural relics, but this does not prevent him from getting some important news.
"Isn't you relax! I'll be able to go to the exam room easily tomorrow!" Song Yi replied with a smile, then pretended to be careless, "I remember there was a bronze tripod from the Shang Dynasty on the first floor before? Why didn't I see it on display?"
Zhao Jianxiang immediately booed him, and then whispered to him, "The tripod has disappeared after it was exhibited last year. I paid special attention when I went to the warehouse, but I never found where it was placed."
Although Zhao Jianxiang is not qualified to receive cultural relics from the warehouse, he has many opportunities to go to the warehouse, and what he said is very credible.
Song Yi asked, "Will it be replaced with the place to keep it?"
"Impossible, the warehouse is so big, where can it be placed! I think ten of them are lost. I am responsible for keeping bronze ware, so why can't I be clear!" Zhao Jianxiang said very surely.
"No way! No one cares about it?" Song Yi asked in surprise. When it comes to acting skills, people who have been outside for many years are very proficient.
Zhao Jianxiang said helplessly, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, who can control it!"
Song Yi's voice softened again, looking very gossipy, "Does Teacher Zhao know which other cultural relics have been lost? Is it serious?"
"Go to go, don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Jianxiang's gossip soul hidden in his heart also burned.
Song Yi nodded quickly, "I'm just curious to ask!"
Zhao Jianxiang is worthy of being an old employee of the museum. He has a lot of knowledge and often goes to the warehouses where cultural relics are kept. He is very clear about the loss of bronze ware. The amount of bronze ware alone has reached a very amazing level. And according to him, he remembers many cultural relics that have not been registered in the warehouse. Without surprise, these cultural relics eventually disappeared without a trace.
Song Yi was amazed at it, which also corresponded to the saying, if you want others to know, don’t do it unless you do it yourself!
Many people know what cultural relics there are in the museum, and what cultural relics are missing behind them.
"The best situation is the porcelain hall and the jade hall. I haven't heard of any cultural relics loss, but I can't say it in the future?" Zhao Jianxiang's words were meaningful.
Song Yi heard the smell and asked quickly, "Did my grandfather have encountered some trouble? Why am I not aware of it?"
"It's not worth it. I believe he can handle it himself. You can walk around slowly! The store is about to close, and I have to go busy." Zhao Jianxiang took a few steps and turned around and told him, "Remember not to tell others that I said it!"
"I haven't seen Teacher Zhao today!" Song Yi nodded immediately and agreed, thinking that the loss of cultural relics in the museum must be an iron-like fact, but what happened to grandpa's retirement?
With the news he got from Zhao Jianxiang, Song Yi had a preliminary concern in his mind. The few cultural relics he reported in his memory were indeed not in the East China Sea Museum.
Before the museum was closed, Song Yi went to the second floor calligraphy and painting museum. He used the same trick again and indirectly attacked several old employees with gossip in the museum, trying to find out the inside information.
Song Yi found that these employees knew clearly in their hearts. When he asked this question now, it seemed as if he had helped them vent their venting place. The loss of cultural relics in the museum is indeed true, and what Zhao Jianxiang said before was confirmed by them. Moreover, he also received a definite news that even among the cultural relics on display, many authentic works have been replaced.
In his previous life, such things happened in museums and cultural relics bureaus across the country, and everyone was accused of it. Only those who were unaware of the matter would regard the things exhibited in the museum as genuine, but at this moment, he only wanted to find the most accurate evidence.
Judging from the current situation, the loss of cultural relics in museums is very serious. Almost all the troops were destroyed without registration. Song Yi also remembered the specific cultural relics and numbers in his heart.
The next step is to make the idea of porcelain and jade!
Against this background, Song Yi was more convinced that there was definitely a reason for his grandfather’s retirement, but what reason would they find to force his grandfather to retire! Song Yi was a little confused. Grandpa’s character and character were absolutely fine. Not only did Song Yi be sure of this, but the museum employees also believed it.
The museum closed as soon as time arrived, and Song Yi slipped away quietly, so that his grandfather would not see that he had been to the museum.
After leaving the museum, Song Yi didn't have time to appreciate the nostalgic style around him, so he took the bus and went home. After returning, he still had a lot to do.
When they got home, their parents didn't go home. Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. Song Yi greeted her and then went back to his room. Although the jade Guanyin was not completed, grandpa and dad might come back at any time, so he didn't go to the studio and planned to wait until everyone fell asleep in the middle of the night before going to do the final processing.
Song Yi still has something to do now. Although he doesn't know what the reason for his grandfather's retirement is, he has found a way not to let him retire early.
The best way Song Yi could think of now is to stolen the museum managers, which led to the large-scale loss of important national cultural relics in advance. It still takes great courage to retreat when the storm is at the forefront.
Song Yi knew very well that if he had a grandfather's personality, if he could be suspected of stealing cultural relics or causing cultural relics loss, he would never be able to retreat. Even if he was threatened by others, he would rise up and fight, and I believe there was no hurdle that could not be overcome.
Song Yi believed that grandpa would not do things that went against his conscience. Since he hadn't done anything wrong, there was nothing to worry about. After weighing the pros and cons, I believe that grandpa would also make his own choice.
Since he had decided, Song Yi was ready to take action. He couldn't remember exactly when his grandfather retired, but he knew that the earlier he acted, the greater the possibility of success.
After Song Yi thought about it, he began to write an anonymous report letter. In order to prevent others from recognizing his handwriting, he also changed his writing style. This small change made him, who had been practicing calligraphy since childhood.
In the letter, he listed in detail some important national first-level cultural relics losses in the Donghai Municipal Museum, and prepared to send them to the Donghai Municipal Procuratorate, the Donghai Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, the Donghai TV Station and the Donghai Daily respectively.
Because he was worried that the anonymous report letter sent to the procuratorate and the Cultural Relics Bureau would be accepted in time, he joined the main news media in Donghai City. If there was no news in the local media in Donghai City in a day or two, Song Yi would be ready to call the news hotline for the focus interview directly. Didn’t they report the last time? At worst, I would send them another credit.
It is worth mentioning that Song Yi's father Song Mingjie is the director of Donghai Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. This letter of complaint was written by his grandson, with the purpose of asking his son to investigate me!
Look at this matter! Song Yi laughed in his heart. If they knew the truth, they would not know if he would be beaten!
