Three years ago, Zhang Qi participated in an archaeological work as a student of Liu Zhenguo, and at that time he was the deputy leader of the archaeological working group, and the team leader was a senior brother who was several years older than him.

At that time, they were digging the tomb of an official during the Song Dynasty, and after the tomb was opened, Zhang Qi and the team leader were the first to enter the ancient tomb.

The official's tomb is not big, and the two of them directly entered the main cave, but at that time they found a funeral coffin, and on top of this funeral coffin were two things, a jade pendant and a jade Ruyi.

The salary of doing archaeology is actually not high, and I am dealing with some boring cultural relics all day long, staying in the dark tombs or in the cultural relics research room every day, it can be said that it is really difficult to stay if it is not for the love of this industry.

However, love can't be eaten, especially in this era when everything costs money, Zhang Qi already regretted why he chose this line of work in the first place.

And it happened that his senior also had the same idea as him, so when they saw some cultural relics placed on the coffin like this, both of them moved a certain kind of caution.

It was certainly not one or two people who entered the tomb during the archaeological excavation, but when the people behind them had not yet entered, Zhang Qi and his senior brother who were the team leader glanced at each other, and at this moment they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Zhang Qi's senior brother directly took away a piece of jade pendant on the coffin, and Zhang Qi put the jade Ruyi into the bag, and when the people behind came in, he didn't know that the jade pendant and jade Ruyi on the coffin were gone.

Of course, no one doubted Zhang Qi and his senior brother, after all, one was the team leader and the other was the deputy team leader.

At first, Zhang Qi was still a little panicked, but with the end of the archaeological work, the records found in the tomb did not mention the two cultural relics, and his heart finally let go.

Because this is not a big tomb, the higher authorities did not check it too carefully, and waited until he and the senior brother's report was written and handed in, and the excavated cultural relics were examined and then archived, which led to Zhang Qi and his senior brother finally stealing a cultural relic by hiding from the sky and the sea.

"Bastard thing!"

Liu Zhenguo couldn't sit still, his whole old face was flushed with anger all of a sudden, and he stood up tremblingly, and Hua Borong on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him when he saw this.

"Teacher, I already know that I am wrong, I was a ghost at the time, and I have been condemned by conscience for the past three years. ”

Zhang Qi had a guilty look on his face, but Fang Ming showed a sneer on his face at this time, if this Zhang Qi really knew that he was wrong, he would not have taken out this jade Ruyi and sold it three years later, it was clear that he felt that the limelight had completely passed, and at this time, taking out the jade Ruyi would not arouse anyone's suspicion before waiting until now.

You must know that a newly unearthed cultural relics and heirloom cultural relics are completely different, because of the influence of air and various aspects, the color and smell of many newly unearthed cultural relics are distinctive, which can be seen by veterans at a glance.

This is the reason why Zhang Qi put this jade Ruyi out to sell it after three years, in the past three years, he must have found a way to get rid of the earthy taste on Yu Ruyi's body, and judging from the appearance of this jade Ruyi, Zhang Qi undoubtedly did it, even Liu Zhenguo and Hua Borong were deceived.

"You know it's wrong, you know it's wrong, you still take out this jade Ruyi and sell it, are you really a bad old man?"

Liu Zhenguo gasped for breath, and Zhang Qi hurriedly defended, "Teacher, I can't help it, the mistake has already been brewed, if I turn myself in, my life will be ruined." ”

An archaeological guard steals himself, which not only has to bear legal responsibility, but will never be used by the archaeological team again, and he will not even be able to mix in this line of work.

"Okay, Mr. Liu, don't be angry, let's solve the problem this time, as for Mr. Zhang's theft of cultural relics, you can watch and deal with it when the time comes. ”

Hua Borong comforted Liu Zhenguo, the meaning of his words is also obvious, this theft of cultural relics is Zhang Qi, as for how to deal with Zhang Qi or not, whether to call the police is a matter between you teachers and students.

Standing in Hua Borong's position, he hopes that there will be more people like Zhang Qi, because there are no people who let them go where to get antiques, of course, this kind of antiques, if the national treasure-level treasure gives Hua Borong a daring, he will not dare to accept it and will not accept it.

A national treasure should be left in the museum for all the people to see, because it belongs to the whole country, and he still has this ideological awareness.

"Teacher, I will accept the punishment of the students at that time, but now I still ask Boss Fang to save me. ”

Zhang Qi used the word punishment very skillfully, and Fang Ming also saw Zhang Qi's careful thinking very thoroughly, this kind of person is nothing more than wanting to use the emotional card to impress Liu Zhenguo when the time comes.

However, Zhang Qi's plan is destined to fail, because he can see from Liu Zhenguo's face that this is a person who is a little stubborn and has a bottom line, once someone touches his bottom line, there will be no emotion at all, it is obvious that Zhang Qi's behavior of guarding and stealing has broken through his bottom line for Liu Zhenguo.

"Tell me about the origin of that tomb. Fang Ming continued to ask.

"That cemetery is the tomb of an official in the Tang Dynasty, and later based on the cultural relics in the cemetery and some documents, we concluded that the owner of the tomb is named Jiang Zhe, who was a recorder in the Tang Dynasty who joined the army. ”

"An officer. Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Hua Ming on the side muttered.

"What kind of officer, if you don't study well, you will talk less, and you will be embarrassed to come out. ”

Hua Borong was helpless about his son, and explained: "Recording and joining the army is the title of an official position, and it is the subordinate officials of those princes, generals and generals in ancient times, and has the right to supervise impeachment, and now it is quite a high-ranking official in a city." ”

Hearing Hua Borong's explanation, Fang Ming also smiled slightly, Recording to join the army is a little different from Senior Officials Ji, but generally not specializing in ancient history, and there are few who can specifically distinguish what they do to join the army.

"We looked through some historical classics but couldn't find Jiang Zhe, after all, a record to join the army is not a big official, and it is normal that there is no record, because there are not many cemeteries unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, so there is no special project for this, and finally the archaeological team was disbanded, and the team members also returned to their respective departments. ”

"Let's talk about the funeral coffin, you must have opened the coffin later, what is the situation in the burial tomb?" Fang Ming was more concerned about the situation of the funeral coffin, although he already had a guess in his heart, he still needed to be sure.

Zhang Qi nodded and continued: "Well, after the main coffin was opened, we opened the burial coffin, but the strange thing is that there were no corpses in it, only a set of decomposed lady's clothes. ”

When mentioning the funeral coffin, Zhang Qi's face showed a look of memory, and when he opened the funeral coffin, the situation inside puzzled their entire archaeological team, a coffin with only clothes, this situation is really rare.

In the end, they speculated that the coffin was most likely prepared by Jiang Zhe for his wife, but for some reason he could not bury his wife with him, leaving only such a piece of clothing.

The whole story has been finished here, Zhang Qi looked at Fang Ming with blank eyes, "Boss Fang, you must save me, I know that I was greedy and made a mistake, but I am not guilty to death." ”

Fang Ming ignored Zhang Qi and fell into thought, the identity of the owner of the funeral coffin is the key, only by figuring out the identity of the owner of the funeral coffin can we know where the resentment on this Yu Ruyi's body comes from.

"Didn't you say that there is another senior brother, so how is your senior brother doing now?" Seeing that no one spoke at the scene, Hua Ming asked Zhang Qi with some curiosity.

"I died, I died a year ago, and it is said that I got some kind of illness and left suddenly, because I haven't seen my brother and him since that excavation, so I don't know the specifics. ”

After all, it is not a glorious thing to guard and steal, and since then, Zhang Qi and that senior brother have also deliberately distanced themselves, and Zhang Qi will know that the news of his senior brother's death is still the news that he saw in the circle of friends of another team member.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qi seemed to think of something, and suddenly a wit, "Boss Fang, could my senior brother's death have something to do with that jade pendant?"

"There is a great possibility. ”

Fang Ming nodded, this jade Ruyi has such a big grievance, if he guesses correctly, then the jade pendant will also have it, and the jade pendant's resentment broke out earlier, this is the real reason for the death of his senior brother.

"Fang Ming, what should I do now, how to solve this matter?"

Hua Borong opened his mouth, at this time, he was the only one who could say this, and Liu Zhenguo was still angry, so he naturally wouldn't help Zhang Qi speak.

"It depends on the situation, it's hard to say tricky words, but 200,000 if it's not tricky. Fang Ming groaned for a while, and directly said the price.

"Two hundred thousand?"

Zhang Qi's voice was a little louder, 200,000 yuan was almost his income for a year.

"I said this is just a general situation, if it's tricky, I won't necessarily make a move, as for whether you want to choose for yourself, if you don't want to accept the price you can leave now. ”

Zhang Qi showed a stupid expression on his face, and then his expression changed, and he said heavily after half a sound: "Okay, I agreed." ”

"200,000 is a lot of money, but it's better than not having to die. ”

Fang Ming glanced at Zhang Qi, "Cash or transfer?"

"Do you want to pay first?" Zhang Qi was stunned, he thought that he would charge after the matter was resolved.

"I'm all paying money here, and if I don't think I can solve it later, I'll only refund half of the money, you can think about it yourself. ”

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Hua Mingming's expression on the side became a little exciting, because he found that Fang Ming was really a dick, and to this extent in business, Fang Ming was definitely the first person.
