Chapter 784: He Shibi

After the three of the tomb robbers' grandfathers entered the main burial chamber, according to the agreement, his friend took one thing first, and then the tomb robber's grandfather and the other person each chose two things, and the rest was divided equally among the three of them.

The initiator was in the main burial chamber, did not take anything, and finally took a box, did not open it, and directly put it into his arms, this scene fell into the eyes of the unlucky thief's grandfather and another companion, the two glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and the tomb robber's grandfather said:

"XX Jun, according to the agreement, you can take one thing first, but our brothers have come here desperately, you can at least show us what is in this box. ”

Although the initiator was unwilling, he saw that the tomb robber's grandfather and another accomplice were already on the same front, and knew that if he didn't show the two of them the contents of the box, it might cause the other party's murderous intentions, so he had no choice but to open the box.

After the box was opened, an ancient jade inside was revealed, but although this ancient jade was not small, from the outside, it was an ordinary jade, as a family tomb robber, the tomb robber's grandfather still had confidence in this regard.

After the initiator saw the ancient jade in the box, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face, and said: "I saw that this box is so exquisite and elegant, I thought that the things in it would definitely be good things, but I didn't expect it to be such an ordinary jade, and it still hasn't been carved." ”

The initiator's words provoked the tomb robber's grandfather and another person to secretly laugh, this jade box is indeed very exquisite, if they choose first, it is easy to be deceived.

Now that I know that the contents of this box are not very valuable jade, it is not that it is not very valuable, if this piece of jade is according to the market price of jade, it can also be sold for two or three hundred thousand, but such a small amount of money will not be taken into account by the three tomb robbers of the three families.

The tomb robber's grandfather and another companion naturally stopped bothering about this piece of jade, and the two quickly selected two burial items, they were afraid that it would be too late to start, and the other party would regret it and want to choose again.

There are a lot of burial goods in the main tomb of Shi Jingjiao, and after the three of them selected five pieces, there are many things, it can be said that the last three of them are full of goods, and after getting so many cultural relics, the grandfather of the tomb robber left behind the first thing that was the box in his hand by his friend.

After the three of them came out of the cemetery, they separated, and the grandfather of the tomb robber had a habit, that is, after each tomb robbery, he would write down the general process of the tomb robbery in his notebook, which was a summary.

And the grandfather of the tomb robber was writing notes, but suddenly noticed something wrong, a detail that he had overlooked.

From the location of the cemetery, to the identity of the owner of the cemetery, and some of the mechanisms in the cemetery, his friend knew everything about it, and the accidents that occurred in the cemetery, he now recalled, among all of them, his friend was not harmed in the slightest.

The grandfather of the tomb robber didn't believe that his friend knew so much about the ancient tomb, and if he went down to the secret passage inside, he wouldn't know what the most precious thing in the ancient tomb was?

If his friend didn't know what the most precious thing of this ancient tomb was, why would he propose such a strange distribution model, you know, the first six of them said that his friend would only take one thing first, and the remaining five people would each choose two, you know, although there are a lot of cultural relics buried in an ancient tomb, but there are really few pieces that can be seen by these people, how could such a shrewd person as his friend make such a distribution decision.

The tomb robber's grandfather thought about it and thought about it, and that was that his friend took advantage of a treasure in the tomb, or rather, in his eyes, only that one thing was the most precious, and other things were not so important compared to this thing.

The more the tomb robber's grandfather thought about it, the more likely it became, and if his guess was true, then the jade in the box was definitely not ordinary jade, and he and the other person were deceived by the appearance of the jade.

The tomb robber's grandfather also knew that after the things were taken away by his friend, no matter what kind of treasure the jade was, he would not be able to get his hands on it again, but out of curiosity, he still wanted to know what kind of treasure the jade would be, so he looked through many ancient books to find information about Shi Jingjiao, and finally let him have a guess about the true identity of the jade, and this conjecture made him depressed for many months, beating his chest.

The grandfather of the tomb robber wrote his conjecture in a notebook, and this notebook has been passed down since then, until it reached the hands of the tomb robber, he also flipped through it, and also remembered this matter, and when he was investigated by the police, he chose to tell the matter in exchange for a reduced sentence.

"The grandfather of the tomb robber suspects that the jade in that box is He's Bi?"

Meng Yao explained the matter in such detail, without mentioning the guess of the tomb robber's grandfather, Qin Yu could also guess.

"Well, yes, the grandfather of the tomb robber suspected that the jade was He's Bi, you must know that Shi Jingjiao is the last person in history who has anything to do with He's Bi, since he led the troops to destroy the Tang Dynasty, He's Bi has completely disappeared in the long river of history, and the biggest possibility is that he was brought into the cemetery by Shi Jingjiao for burial. ”

Meng Yao nodded and continued: "After the task force got this news, because He Shibi was so famous, they reported it to the leaders above, and then after my second aunt and husband got the news, they set up a team to be responsible for retrieving He's Bi, and to find He's Bi, you have to start with the friend of the tomb robber's grandfather." ”

It's just that my second aunt and my husband found out after investigation that the original initiator died in the cemetery during a tomb robbery, while his two sons had no intention of robbing the tomb, and sold all the cultural relics in the family to some foreign collectors through smuggling, and settled overseas after getting the money.

"If that jade is really He's Bi, there is no reason why the promoter's son will sell it, you must know that He's Bi is not an ordinary cultural relic, anyone who understands Chinese history knows the meaning of He's Bi to China, such a treasure is always better than selling. ”

Qin Yu frowned and said his opinion, He's bi is not an ordinary treasure, it is said that Qin Shi Huang is a heirloom jade seal made of He's bi, such a treasure ordinary collector does not dare to collect at all, even if it is a foreign collector, whoever collects He's bi is equivalent to being the enemy of the whole of China, which is not something that any individual or organization can bear.

"What if the two sons didn't know that the jade was He's Bi, so they sold it to others as ordinary jade. ”

Meng Yao said quietly, this is also the conclusion that his second aunt and husband came to it, it is very likely that the initiator did not tell his family that the jade is He's bi, and the authenticity of this conclusion is very high.

You must know that the fewer people know about such a treasure as He's Bi, the better, even if you can hide it from your own family, it is best to hide it, you know, if the family accidentally leaks it, it will bring ruin to the family.

Meng Yao's second aunt and uncle conducted a detailed investigation of the initiator, and the other party was an extremely cautious person, even if it was someone in the circle, few people knew where he lived, and few even knew his real name.

It is very possible that such a cautious person did not tell his son about Heshibi, and he himself should not have expected to die in the cemetery, and everything was too late to explain, so that everything could be explained.

"Well, this possibility is not impossible, so what does this have to do with the collection room of the University of London, an educational institution like the University of London should not collect things from the black market. ”

As a world-class well-known institution of higher learning, if the University of London makes a purchase of cultural relics smuggled by other countries, it will have a bad reputation, and no well-known university will do such a behavior that damages its own feathers.

"After my second aunt and husband investigated, the son of the initiator sold more than 180 cultural relics through foreign smuggling gangs, including 20 cultural relics that can be called national treasures, with a total value of about 1.2 billion US dollars. ”

"1.2 billion?" Qin Yu showed a look of surprise on his face, and was frightened by the astronomical figure reported by Meng Yao, a tomb robber actually stole cultural relics worth 1.2 billion, and he didn't know how many princely tombs he had stolen.

"Yes, these cultural relics are extremely precious, but they can't be compared with He's bi, my second aunt and husband through batches of investigations, and finally determined that the jade fell into the hands of a large British collection, but the big collection gave the jade to the British royal family decades ago, and the University of London collection, half of the items are donated by the British royal family, and the jade is in this batch of donations. ”

Meng Yao finally told Qin Yu everything that happened, and Qin Yu pondered for a while, if it was really He's Bi, then he really wanted to bring He's Bi back to China, not because of He's Bi and Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, but because of He's symbolic significance to the Chinese people.

He's Bi is such an heirloom treasure, as a member of the descendants of Yan and Huang, he has the obligation to bring it back to China, if he doesn't encounter it, it's okay, since he has encountered it, then he must not miss it.

"Dear Yao, what are you two muttering?" Anna on the side was exposed to Qin Yu and Meng Yao for a long time, and finally couldn't help muttering.

Qin Yu and Meng Yao listened to Anna's muttering, looked at each other and smiled, and did not continue to discuss, the two walked towards the front again. (To be continued.) )
