"Brother Man, is it so exaggerated as you said?

Hearing the Manchu army's description of those tomb robbery organizations, Fang Yi really didn't believe it, because except for Cao Cao, who established the official position of Captain of the Golden School in order to raise military funds, the tomb robbers of other dynasties were almost like rats crossing the street, as long as they were caught, everyone shouted and beat them.

Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the gang of tomb robbers is easy to cause internal strife and cause a fight, so the general tomb robbery gang is only three or five people, and these three or five people must also be close relatives, where is there such a huge tomb robbery group as described by the Manchu army?

"Fang Yi, the times are different, and the tomb robbery organization is also improving......"

Man Jun looked at his watch and said: "The Northern faction produced a very powerful person ten years ago, claiming to be the descendant of the Captain of the Golden School, nicknamed the Eighth Master, this Eighth Master is ruthless, integrated more than ten tomb robbery organizations in Henan Province, and spent ten years to develop it into a group that collects tomb robberies and sells stolen goods......

In fact, in the past few years, the unearthed cultural relics were not so difficult to collect, the tomb robbers in the provinces were all wandering around, and it was easy to receive some good objects from them, and the Manchu army also had a fixed supply channel at that time.

But just five years ago, the guy who called himself the eighth master implemented the quasi-entry system in Yu Province, that is, the entry and exit were not allowed, and tomb robbers from all over the country could go to Yu Province, but they must join his organization, and the stolen tomb goods must also be handed over to him for sale.

There are generally only three kinds of people who dare to rob tombs, the first is the family handicraft, which has been eating this bowl of rice since the ancestors, and the second type of people are lazy and poor, and they do not hesitate to take risks in order to make money.

In the 90s, in the Bishan area of Henan Province, there was a very famous tomb robbery village, and at the beginning there was only one family in this village who relied on those tombs on the mountain to eat.

But as the family bought a house and a car and became wealthy, the whole village was mobilized, and finally the elderly let go, the men went to the grave to get the funeral goods, and the women and children washed those things at home, and the village chief also took the lead in selling the stolen goods.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and when the tomb robbery village became famous and even people like the Manchu army knew about it, they were not far from destruction, and finally they were given a litter by the local government, and almost all adult men were sentenced to several years in prison.

No matter what the reason is, they join the tomb robbery industry, but as long as they dare to do it, they have one thing in common, that is, these people are all bold people.

Because Yu Province is the province with the largest concentration of tombs of emperors and generals in ancient times, it can be called a happy land for tomb robbers, and the empty vernacular released by the head snakes in Yu Province naturally can't suppress them, and some small gangs of three or five people still sneak into Yu Province to work.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the tomb robbers from the north and south who entered Henan Province one after another were all planted in Yu Province, and there were two famous tomb robbers from a family.

For a long time, a very strange phenomenon has been formed in Yu Province, but all the tomb robbers who go to Yu Province are not afraid of being arrested by the police, but are afraid of meeting the guy who is called the eighth master, according to the rumors of the rivers and lakes, it is definitely worse than death if it falls into his hands.

Eight masters debuted for ten years, and it took five years to consolidate their territory, and it only took one year to establish an underground kingdom in Yu Province, almost monopolizing the entire northern tomb robbery market, which can be described as unparalleled for a while.

"Brother Man, this shot shot is the first bird, and the government doesn't care?"

Sitting on the sofa of the five-star hotel, Fang Yi was dumbfounded, he listened to the news broadcast every day on the mountain, and the domestic news he heard was all singing and dancing, which was already considered to be successfully brainwashed, and he thought that the rivers and lakes that the master once said had long been extinct.

"Anyway, who said it doesn't matter?"

Manjun lit a cigarette, looked around, and saw that there was no one next to him, and then said: "Three years ago, there was a strike hard in Henan Province, and I heard that a lot of armed police were transferred from the neighboring provinces, targeting the gang of the eighth master, but the eighth master was not caught at that time......

According to the Manchu army, although the crackdown made the Eighth Master's gang hurt their muscles and bones, it did not hurt their foundation, and since then, the Eighth Master and a group of backbones have all disappeared.

But 3,000 years ago, that is, a year after the Eight Masters gang was defeated, a handicraft trading company appeared in Henan Province, they imported and exported handicrafts in the mode, did the business of selling cultural relics abroad, not only that, they also recruited dealers in the country, and a lot of unearthed cultural relics flowed out.

This company is very secretive and sophisticated, and customers who are not trusting will never deal with it, and they never leave any leverage in their transactions, even if the police know that some collectors have sold the artifacts, but there is no evidence of it.

There was once a business boss who bought an unearthed bronze tripod from them, and the police found it, and according to the boss's confession, the general manager of the trading company was arrested, but the general manager did not admit it at all, and he was a returnee doctor, with no stain on his body, and in the end, the police had no evidence to release him.

However, in the second month after this incident, the boss who assisted the police in handling the case was driving a car with a family on a trip one day, and the car's brakes failed and there was a car accident on the highway, and the family of four was not spared.

Although the police later announced that the investigation concluded that the brakes were a problem and attributed the car accident to an accident, few people in the industry believed it, and they preferred to believe that this was the eighth master's revenge on them, because the style of this incident was too similar to the eighth master back then.

Since this incident, there is no possibility for the police to find a breakthrough from the buyer's side, and both buyers and sellers have become extremely cautious, and only in some small circles of people in the industry will it be rumored what kind of business they have done.

"Brother Man, then according to what you say, aren't we here for nothing today?"

After hearing Manjun's explanation, Fang Yi showed a puzzled look on his face, judging from the actions of that foreign trade group company, they would never place unearthed cultural relics in this so-called underground auction house, otherwise wouldn't it be rushing to let the police arrest people?

"It's not in vain, I have to come today......"

Man Jun shook his head and said: "This company has a lot of energy in foreign countries, and they have collected a lot of lost cultural relics from foreign countries through various channels, all of which have entered the country through proper customs declarations, and they can be bought and sold, and what we want to buy today is this kind of thing......

Relatively speaking, the lost cultural relics are some things that have been inherited in an orderly manner, and the market price is much higher than the unearthed cultural relics, and there is no need to worry about being found by the police, so they have always been the sought-after goods of antique dealers, and this kind of auction is rushing.

"Brother Man, according to what you said, they are completely legal, this is not an underground auction, right?"

The more Fang Yi listened, the more confused he became, if this company was only engaged in the business of returning cultural relics, it would still be a good thing for the country, at least the things that had been robbed by foreigners in the past hundred and ten years could be returned to China, which could be regarded as benefiting the country and the people.

"This kind of auction is legal, but secretly they will still sell the ...... of the artifacts"

Man Jun sneered when he heard this, the reason why this company held such an auction was actually to cover up for their illegal transactions, and every time they would select a few objects from the auction, and after communicating with them, they would sell those shady things.

The Manchu army had an old friend who was in the antique business in the capital, and he told the Manchu army when he was drinking tea and chatting that he spent 1.2 million yuan to buy a volume of the "Analects" of the Western Han Dynasty from that company, which is very rare in China if it is well preserved.

Although the old friend of Man Jun couldn't come up with any evidence to prove that this thing was sold to him by that company, this is already something that everyone in the circle knows, and the reason why Man Jun was able to receive an invitation to the auction was because the old friend came forward to guarantee that he could participate as an introducer.
