Chapter 1902: not my business

This was the fourth day after arriving in London, and the sky finally cleared.

In addition to sweeping the Port Bellow market in Notting Hill on the first day and sending the scum of the Pink Panther to hell, in the next two days, Ye Tian and the others successively explored three places that might bury the treasures of the Knights Templar. local.

The three locations are either in London or in the suburbs, and they are not far apart.

In the Middle Ages, those places that were once the fiefs and castles of the Knights Templar are now owned by the British royal family. It is with the permission of the British royal family that joint exploration operations can be carried out.

Unfortunately, in those three locations, the joint exploration team did not find the famous Templar treasure.

However, they have gained something else, and it is a surprisingly significant discovery, which is not in vain.

In a long idle medieval castle outside of London, Ye Tian found a very secret mezzanine wall, which hides two oil paintings created in the middle of the seventeenth century and wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper.

It is one of the most outstanding representatives of Baroque art, the founder of French classicism painting, and the famous artist Poussin. Two landscape paintings were created in 1640 and 1645 respectively.

The themes of the two paintings are different. One is a classicist landscape painting with religious themes, and the other is a classicist landscape painting with Greek mythology. The size is basically the same.

In the middle of the seventeenth century, it was the peak period of the famous painter Poussin's artistic career. These two classicist paintings can be called Poussin's representative works, both of which are top artworks worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Moreover, the inheritance of these two oil paintings is very clear, and there are clear written records in the history of art. They disappeared from people's vision until the Second World War and have never been seen since.

The discovery of these two paintings at the peak of Poussin's art immediately caused a huge sensation and attracted countless eyes, many of which were full of covetous eyes.

After the exploratory operation of the day was over, according to the previously signed treasure distribution agreement, Ye Tian and the British royal family directly divided up two paintings in the castle, and they were simply neat.

Next, the representative of the British royal family, Prince William, who was in charge of liaising with the joint exploration team, took away the classical religious landscape painting and took it to Buckingham Palace.

Ye Tian brought another classicist landscape painting on the subject of Greek mythology and returned to the Ritz Hotel with the Bishop of Kent.

They had just returned to the hotel, and some of the top British collectors and senior officials of famous museums came here, hoping to appreciate and appraise the painting, and showed a strong willingness to buy it.

Naturally, Ye Tian would not refuse this request.

Needless to say, the result of the appraisal is that the painting is indeed the authentic work of the classicist master Poussin, and it is a representative work of extraordinary artistic value, a properly top-level artwork.

Coupled with the clear heritage of the painting and the background that the British royal family once collected, it has virtually enhanced the value of the painting.

Next, around that classicist landscape painting, a fierce competition unfolded.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after a fierce on-site bidding, the Poussin landscape painting was only sold, and it was acquired by a Russian super-rich living in London as his private collection.

Ye Tian got an attractive 92.5 million euros, and both parties were very happy.

Also sold together were the trophies he swept from the Portobello market, and some antique artworks from France, which brought him a huge income of more than 60 million euros.

In a blink of an eye, it's another day.

After eating breakfast and resting for a while in the morning, Ye Tian and David left the hotel room and prepared to head to the famous Temple Church to start today's joint exploration operation.

The Temple Church is the last goal of the joint exploration team in London. If there is still no treasure of the Knights Templar found here, then everyone can only leave London and go to the next country.

Soon, Ye Tian and David went down to the hotel lobby, joined with the Bishop of Kent who had come down in advance, and walked outside the hotel door together.

Seeing Ye Tian and the others appearing, the many media reporters who had been waiting in the hotel lobby immediately surged up.

However, they were stopped by the well-prepared London police and hotel security, and they had to stay outside the cordon and ask questions loudly.

"Good morning, Steven and Bishop of Kent. I am a reporter from The Times. What is the goal of the joint exploratory team today? Where are you going to explore the treasure? Can you tell us something?"

"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I am a reporter from Art Weekly. According to rumors, you found two landscape oil paintings by the classicist master Poussin yesterday. How did you deal with those two oil paintings?"

"Mr. Steven, good morning, I'm a reporter from the New York Times. There is a rumor that is raging in London. It is said that the violent explosion a few days ago was related to you and was made by you.

Those guys who died in that Victorian-style building, it is said that they were high-ranking members of the famous jewellery theft gang, the Pink Panther, are your enemies. There are rumors that you killed those guys."

Hearing questions from many media reporters, Ye Tian immediately stopped and turned to look at the guys who feared the world would not be chaotic.

He glanced at the guys with shining eyes and the many hotel guests watching the excitement around him, then smiled and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good morning, I am very glad to see you all here. The weather today is very nice and the sun is shining brightly. I hope everyone can have a good day.

Since everyone is very concerned about the development of the joint exploration team, I will tell you to satisfy everyone's curiosity. Today, our exploration goal is the famous scenic spot in London, the Temple Church.

It used to be the headquarters of the Knights Templar in London. The treasures of the Knights Templar may be buried there. If the treasures of the Knights Templar can be found in that church, it would be great! "

Following his remarks, there was a commotion at the scene.

The expressions of the accompanying members of the British royal family changed. They immediately took out their mobile phones and began to report to their superiors, making plans in advance to deal with various possible situations.

Numerous media reporters on the scene also responded immediately, and they took out their mobile phones to make calls and notify their respective news media to prepare for the next interview and reporting.

Those tourists who watched the excitement were eager to try one by one, preparing to go to the Temple Church to see the excitement.

For them, this may be a godsend opportunity to witness miracles, and it is definitely not to be missed.

The eyeliners arranged by other people in the hotel lobby also took out their mobile phones and began to report the news, so that the guys outside were ready or rushed to the Temple Church immediately.

Ye Tian saw the reactions of these people at the scene one by one, without missing anything.

And this is exactly what he wanted to see.

The reason why he announced today's exploration goals here is to make this action public and attract more attention, and the more the better!

Only in this way can the British royal family, who cherish feathers, be scrupulous.

Today, if they discover the treasure of the Knights Templar, even if the British royal family covets and wants to take the treasure alone, they will be scrupulous about three points in the eyes of everyone.

After a short pause, when the scene was quieter, Ye Tianqinglang's voice immediately sounded again, and it reached the ears of everyone on the scene.

"A reporter friend just asked, how did we deal with the two landscape oil paintings we found yesterday? First of all, I want to be sure that we did find two paintings by the classical master Poussin yesterday.

Those are two high-value works of art. They have been passed down in an orderly manner. They disappeared suddenly during the Second World War. They have never been seen since, until yesterday I found them from a wall.

After discovering the two paintings, I made an on-site appraisal and gave an accurate estimate. They are basically equal in value. According to the distribution agreement signed before, I shared the two paintings with the British royal family.

Prince William took away one of the religious landscape oil paintings. I got a Greek mythological landscape oil painting. When I returned to the hotel, I transferred the top art piece of art that night.

That outstanding painting by Poussin, a master of classicism, is now in the private collection of a top collector in London. As for the identity of that collector, it is not convenient for me to disclose the identity of that collector without the permission of the other party.

In addition to the landscape oil painting, some antique artworks that I found and bought from the Portebelle market and brought from France were all sold last night, and none of them were left! "

"Wow!"

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and every voice was full of envy and even jealousy.

At the same time, almost everyone was secretly sighing.

God is so unfair, or just blind, only the **** Steven in his eyes, can't see other people at all, even at a glance!

Without a pause, Ye Tianqinglang's voice continued to be heard.

"Let me talk about the violent explosion a few days ago. I also heard that the guys who died in that historic building were all senior members of the Pink Panther. This is undoubtedly a good thing, and I am happy to see it happen.

But I must defend myself~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The violent explosion that shook the entire London has nothing to do with me. Scotland Yard has given an authoritative explanation that it was an explosion caused by a natural gas leak.

When the explosion happened, although we were very close to the place where the explosion occurred, on a street near the Scotland Yard headquarters building, I stayed in my car all the time, identifying antique artworks.

On this point, several senior police officers at Scotland Yard proved that after the explosion, they came to my car and chatted with me a few words. If you are interested, you can find out.

The reason why there are rumors outside that I killed those guys in the Pink Panther is actually normal, because of the hostile relationship between me and the Pink Panther, many people will naturally make that association.

Well, the answer to the question is here. We are going to the Temple Church. If you are interested, you might as well come and have a look, as long as it does not interfere with our joint exploration activities. See you, everyone! "

After speaking, Ye Tian waved to everyone at the scene, and then walked towards the hotel entrance with David and the others.

Behind them, the media reporters kept asking questions loudly, but received no response.
