In the room on the third floor, Bishop of Kent and Giovanni were still stunned, staring at Ye Tian and the wall in front of them, everyone's eyes were extremely hot.

Everyone's performance was within Ye Tian's expectations, and he wasn't surprised at all.

He just smiled softly and continued with his performance.

"At the end of the eighteenth century, after Napoleon led a large army to conquer Italy, he ordered his troops to loot in Italy, and even forced the then pope to sign a punitive contract.

According to this contract, the pope must give up a large piece of the richest land, compensate France for 30 million francs, and hand over the best oil paintings and sculptures in major museums, and ship them to France.

Napoleon not only sacked the Holy See, but also sacked many cities in Italy. Among them, the cities with the biggest losses were Florence, Venice, Milan, and Rome.

Even the most famous Uffizi Museum in Florence was almost ransacked by Napoleon, but because the Uffizi Museum was public property, Napoleon was afraid of arousing public anger, so he did not loot it.

The "Last Supper" created by Leonardo da Vinci and located in the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan was almost ransacked. Considering that it was a mural and very fragile, Napoleon let it go.

Napoleon looted countless top oil paintings and sculptures from Italy and shipped them all back to France. This is how many top oil paintings and sculptures displayed in the large gallery of the Louvre Museum came about.

The Napoleon treasure that our company discovered near Notre Dame de Paris before also contains many top oil paintings and sculptures from Italy, which are the spoils that Napoleon looted from Italy.

After Napoleon was defeated and kicked out of power, the top oil paintings and sculptures looted from major cities in Italy were kept in France by the French through various diplomatic means, until now.”

Before the words fell, the curator of the Sforza Castle Museum continued:

"That's right, Napoleon's crazy looting of Italy was a catastrophe in the history of Italian art. He snatched countless top oil paintings and sculptures from Italy.

The Sforzesco Castle was not spared, and we also had some top paintings and sculptures that were taken by the French and are now on display in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre! "

Hearing this, the other Italians at the scene nodded, and everyone looked concerned.

Not only that, these guys also collectively launched a denunciation, and the object of the denunciation is of course the chief culprit who looted Italy, Napoleon!

Of course, the eyes they looked at Ye Tian were not very friendly, and their teeth were itchy with hatred.

You must know that after Ye Tian discovered and seized Napoleon's treasure in Paris, he did not return the top oil paintings and sculptures from Italy in the treasure to their original owners and returned to Italy.

Instead, he took advantage of these priceless top-level antique works of art to slaughter Italy, and sent many of these top-level antique works of art to auction or private transactions, and were bought by museums and top collectors in other countries.

There are also some top-level antique works of art that have become his private collection, and each piece is a treasure, and each piece is priceless.

In comparison, what the Italian government, major museums, and top Italian collectors bought back is only a small part of it!

This is not the end, shortly after discovering Napoleon's treasure, he came to Italy in person and began to crazily loot every top antique art he saw but was ignored by others!

For the Italians, Napoleon's crazy looting of Italy at the end of the eighteenth century made each of them unforgettable and heartbroken!

And what happened today, Ye Tian's crazy looting of Italy, is it not like this, and they feel the same way even more! This is simply history repeating itself!

Faced with this situation, these Italians on the scene,

How can you not hate it so hard that your teeth itch!

Regarding the performance of these Italians, Ye Tian seemed to have never seen them.

After letting these Italians denounce a few words, he continued:

"Napoleon's act of looting top antiques and works of art caused a huge sensation in Italy. All museums and individuals with collections of top antiques and works of art are panicked and everyone is in danger.

Especially after he occupied Venice, ransacked the 20 most exquisite top oil paintings and 500 most precious manuscripts of the Republic of Venice, and destroyed the Republic of Venice, all museums and collectors were shocked.

After the news reached Milan, many museums and collectors were in a constant state of panic, fearing that they would be the next one to be looted by Napoleon. It was logical that people began to try every means to hide their fine collections.

The person who lives in this historic building may be a collector, or an important member of a family or a high-level executive of a famous museum. He remodeled it in order to hide his important collection.

Then, he hid his important collection here! It must be admitted that he transformed it very successfully, leaving almost no flaws. At the end of the eighteenth century, he may have successfully fooled the French soldiers.

It's a pity that the thickness of the wall betrayed him, as did the neoclassical artistic tendency he inadvertently showed when redecorating the place, and it is precisely because of this that we can discover the secrets hidden here."

Listening to Ye Tian's words, everyone at the scene nodded frequently, and at the same time they were very envious!

Why wasn't he the one who bought this historic building and discovered this great secret? If it were me, it would be perfect!

After a moment of silence, Giovanni said aloud:

"You're right, Steven, after Napoleon looted the most exquisite and top art in the Republic of Venice, it caused a huge panic in Italy, and many people began to hide their collections.

In particular, the museums and collectors in the two cities of Milan and Florence are trying their best to hide the top antiques and artworks to avoid being looted by the French, and there are related records.”

Before his words fell, the director of the Brera Art Museum couldn't wait to say:

"Since it is confirmed that there are mezzanines or hidden compartments in this wall, and secrets are probably hidden in the ceiling, what are you waiting for? Steven, can you start to open this wall and ceiling now?"

Ye Tian looked at this old friend, then nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, we can take action at any time, open this wall and ceiling, and see what secrets are hidden inside, I hope it will be a surprising and important discovery!

In order to ensure the openness and transparency of this exploration operation, I invite everyone to come up to witness the next operation together and uncover this secret that has been hidden for more than two hundred years.

Another point, after all, this is a building with a history of more than 500 years. We are going to break through the walls and ceiling, and everyone must be present to witness it, so as not to cause trouble.

After the wall and ceiling were remodeled, they have never been opened again. The carvings and decorations on the ceiling with neoclassical artistic colors are the best proof!

In other words, the things that were hidden here at the end of the eighteenth century are probably still inside the walls, unless the people who rebuilt the place didn't put anything into it.

Next, we will open this wall and ceiling to see what is hidden inside, and in the process, we will take all necessary protective measures! "

"Wow! This is so exciting!"

There was a sound of exclamation at the scene, and everyone became more excited. Everyone's eyes were shining, staring at the wall and ceiling.

Giovanni and the rest of the Italians standing aside had a look of fear in their eyes at the same time.

Steven, the bastard, was really too cautious, and he acted impeccably. Even if he wanted to trouble this bastard, he couldn't find any suitable excuses or loopholes.

After introducing the situation here, Ye Tian told Tony and the others who were waiting at the side that they were going to tear down the wall.

These guys have been waiting impatiently for a long time, following Ye Tian's order, they immediately acted!
