"Continue," Qin Yu said.
Wei Lan looked at him and said, "Since Dong Jikai could collect it, it means the Green Jade Incense Burner had once entered the market. If it really came from an Emperor's Tomb, by regulation, it should not be privately owned or circulated. Of course, if it was one or two hundred years ago, naturally, there were no such regulations. What I mean is, there are shady traces behind it, and all the information we know now has been arranged."
"For example, the certificate from the Wanrong Auction."
Tomb robbers have always been rampant, it's highly possible that hundreds of years ago, or maybe just decades, they stole the incense burner and it changed hands overseas before Dong Jikai bought it with money and brought it back to the country.
Otherwise, given the quality of this incense burner and the historical significance of its origin from a royal tomb, it would definitely be coveted by major museums and impossible to circulate casually in the market.
