As an antique shopkeeper, the experience of being a shopkeeper is a valuable asset, much richer than Zhang Tianyuan. He knew very well that once such a heavy weapon with an inscription was unearthed, it would inevitably cause a storm in the archaeological community.

The collecting world may not be shocked, but the archaeological community will definitely be sensational, and it may even attract the attention of the state.

As a treasure of Chinese culture, bronze has been deeply concerned and loved by people for thousands of years.

Bronze zuò artifacts appeared as early as the Erlitou site in the late summer, and then the technology continued to develop, and from the late Shang to the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the bronze artifacts at this time reached a peak of artistic achievements and technological level, and a large number of extremely precious art treasures appeared.

The collection of bronzes can be said to have been produced with the production of bronzes, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were counterfeit bronzes, and in the Song Dynasty, the attention of the whole society to bronzes gave birth to a new discipline——— Jinshi science.

Because the bronze artifacts are mostly ritual utensils, not the common people can use them, so the collection of bronzes has been the exclusive use of high-ranking officials and social top-level figures since ancient times.

This fanatical pursuit of bronze has continued for thousands of years, until the founding of the People's Republic of China, bronze is still the biggest hit in the antique collection industry, at that time, a courtyard house in the prosperous area of the imperial capital is not worth a few hundred oceans, and a bronze boutique can be sold for tens of thousands of oceans.

Due to the peculiarities of the bronzes. Especially the particularity of heavy weapons, the people who own them must generally be the royal family. Such a tomb. It's definitely a big tomb, and the impact is not small. Even if Zhang Tianyuan really had to spend money to buy this thing, he didn't dare to put it in the museum, it would really become a hot potato.

Because he was born in Shaanzhou, he is more aware of this matter, there are many ancient tombs in Shaanzhou, once a tomb is stolen, it will attract great attention, especially the tombs such as the royal tombs and the emperor's tombs, which caused a sensation and a great deal of effect.

The departments concerned will certainly make great efforts to investigate this matter. If Zhang Tianyuan dares to buy such a heavy weapon, he must always hide it, and once he takes it out, it will be too troublesome. Even with his current status, it may affect the Nie family and the HRE Group.

Although the departments concerned are not competent in some things, their ability in other things is not low, and the price to look down on them is very heavy.

"Mo Xie is a person, he really has great powers. I don't know if I can let him plant it this time. This guy has been engaged in tomb robbery all year round, and he doesn't know how many good things he has sent abroad, which is so hateful. Zhang Tianyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Old Yu shopkeeper, you are right, I can't ask for the heavy weapon in his hand." No, I should say I can't ask for anything he has. ”

"Why is that?" the old shopkeeper was a little puzzled, in his opinion. It's not much of a problem to get those two bronze mirrors back.

"You also know, I know Mo Xie's details. I know that this thing is a tomb robber, and it is very famous. But I haven't seen it in years. So I don't know what kind of course he has developed now. If he only has a bronze mirror, it means that he likes to work alone, because heavy weapons are definitely not easy to transport and carry alone. But now it's different, I think there must be a tight organization behind this guy, in fact, I've noticed just now, outside the café, and even in our antique shop, there are more than a dozen of them, and if the police come, they are not afraid, because everyone is equipped with weapons......"

"This, how do you know these bosses?" the old shopkeeper was shocked.

"I learned some scouting techniques from Team Snakes, and they worked. Zhang Tianyuan directly prevaricated, in this case, Lao Yu really believed it.

After all, in the eyes of people who don't know about special forces, special forces are absolutely omnipotent.

Since it was the reconnaissance skills taught to Zhang Tianyuan by the special forces, there must be something outstanding.

"Listening to what the boss said, my back is cold, if it is a tomb robber who walks alone, this is easy to do, and there won't be much trouble, even if they are caught, we have a way to shirk it." But if it is a large-scale tomb robbery organization organized and organized, there are gangs, this is very deep, and once it is involved, it will be a problem for even its own safety. Lao Yu said nervously.

"yes, that's it, that's why I didn't make a deal with him. Although Zhang Tianyuan himself is not afraid of these tomb robbers, he can't help but think about his relatives, not everyone has been transformed by the earth's qi like him, if something happens, he is afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.

What's the name of a saying?

Rather provoke the king of Hades, don't mess with the little ghost.

After all, Hades is a decent person, and he has to act according to procedures, and his every move is watched by others, and it is not good to be nonsense.

Let's take this smuggling matter for example, if Zhang Tianyuan is found to have done something illegal, as long as he admits his mistake and then dredges up the relationship, he should be released.

Although this is disgusting, Zhang Tianyuan really doesn't like it, because this is the most hated abuse of power for personal gain by ordinary people. And Zhang Tianyuan didn't want the Nie family to leave a stain on this matter.

But in any case, it will be successful.

But the imp is different, he can secretly calculate you.

It's easy to dodge the open gun, and it's hard to defend against the dark arrow, if you are targeted by this gang, it may be life-threatening at any time, you don't know who to dredge it with, unless you wipe out the gang, but that kind of thing, it's really not easy.

Combining these two reasons, Zhang Tianyuan finally planned to endure the pain of cutting his love, and the bronzes could be collected abroad in the future, without breaking the law, and there was no danger. Now what he has to do is to find a way to help the police crack this gang.

Once the gang is broken, those bronzes will inevitably fall into the hands of the state, and Zhang Tianyuan can apply for these bronzes to be put into his museum for exhibition through the normal path. After all, in terms of conditions, once his museum is officially opened. That's not inferior to any museum in the country.

It's definitely a win-win-

Of course, he didn't want to come openly. Just want to secretly help the police.

This is also to protect yourself, because you don't know if the other party is undercover in the police, don't think that this is the plot of the movie, you must know that the movie is also based on reality, this kind of thing is real in reality, and it is not uncommon.

"It's still the boss who thinks thoughtfully, I still haven't been able to go deeper. "Lao Yu shopkeeper listened to Zhang Tianyuan's words, and he also deeply thought that this kind of gang-like tomb robbery organization. It's better to have less.

"Thoughtful what, I also made a temporary idea, checked it on the Internet, and found an amazing piece of information, in recent years, although there is no royal tomb in Shaanzhou, but there is a museum that has been patronized by snitches and lost a few heavy weapons. Zhang Tianyuan smiled bitterly.

"What weight?"

"A heavy weapon called forbidden. Zhang Tianyuan replied.

"Around 2012, four groups of villagers in Shizuitou Village, Shigu Town, Weibin District, Baocheng, Shaanxi Prefecture, discovered a well-preserved large tomb of the early Western Zhou Dynasty when they were building a house and excavating the foundation. At present, more than 30 pieces of various bronze heavy vessels have been excavated, and their specifications are high, the combination is complete, and the preservation is well-preserved. The prominence of the style of the times is extremely rare in the archaeological excavations of the Western Zhou Dynasty in recent decades. One of the bronzes, known as 'forbidden', is rare in the world, and it is the first time it has been unearthed in China since 1949. So that Shaanzhou Baocheng, the hometown of bronze, once again attracted the attention of the world. I went back to see it at the time, and it was perfect!"

Zhang Tianyuan mentioned his hometown. When it comes to these antiques, there is always a little bit of pride. But it's no wonder that everyone wants their hometown to be famous for good things.

It is forbidden to bear the base of the wine, there are two forms of square and rectangular, there are walls on all sides, and there are rectangular holes. Some people call it the altar, which the American translates as the altar, and the Japanese call it "柉ban". Its shape resembles a table without legs, so the local farmers call it the "copper table", because it is decorated with a pattern on it, and the academic circles in our country also call it a pattern ban. "Etiquette and Shiguan Li" "respect between the households, there is a ban on the two, note: forbidden, the vessel of respect", indicating that the ban is a special seat for holding wine vessels.

Bronze prohibition and archaeological excavations are rare, starting in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty and dying in the Warring States Period. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, before the discovery of the bronze ban in Daijiawan, Baocheng, Shaanxi, people did not know this kind of artifact, and only saw records in the literature.

The reason why it is called "forbidden" is because the Zhou people summarized the reasons for the demise of the Xia and Shang dynasties, and they were all indulgent in drinking. The late monarchs of the Xia and Shang dynasties both collapsed because of their addiction to wine. In view of this, Zhou issued China's earliest prohibition of alcohol, the "Wine Decree", which stipulated: princes and princes are not allowed to drink indecent alcohol, and can only drink alcohol during sacrifices, the people gather to drink, escort to the capital and be sentenced to death, and those who do not act according to the prohibition will also be punished with death. In this case, although the princes and princes were allowed to drink alcohol during sacrifices, or even drink illegally, the case of the wine vessel was branded with the marks of China's first "alcohol prohibition" era - the name "alcohol ban".

Previously, there were six forbidden pieces in the records, of which four were unearthed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, all of which were unearthed in the Baocheng Cockfighting Platform in Shaanzhou, and only two are extant. The ban was first discovered in the 27th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, a farmer in Daijiawan Village, Baocheng, Shaanzhou, dug out a piece, which was collected by Duanfang, the governor of Shaanzhou, and was sold to the Americans by his descendants after his death, and is now collected by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Speaking of which, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but feel a little helpless, all the good things were sold to foreigners, which can't but be said to be a huge loss.

The rest was unearthed in 1927 when Dang Yukun stole the treasure in the cockfighting platform, these three forbidden shapes are the same, but the size is different, the largest is 140 long, 70 wide, 60 cm high. The whereabouts of two of these three prohibitions are unknown, the youngest one has seen the back of the Tianjing Museum collection, becoming the only one in the country Western Zhou Dynasty copper ban, this time Baocheng unearthed the bronze ban again, it is definitely a good thing, but it was stolen in the first two years, and the whereabouts are unknown......"

"Such a rare item, boss, do you suspect that it has fallen into Mo Ye's hands?" asked the old shopkeeper. (To be continued......)
