Chapter 139: Digging Graves
"Eh, Lao Liu, what do you think of this piece of jade? Can you take this thing? It's dirty. Uncle Fang whispered to Liu Lao, he knew very well that the swarthy young man in front of him was a native master in Changsha dialect.
If you say it well, it's called Captain Jin, and if you say it badly, you'll be a tomb robber!
Both of them had the experience of being pit by tomb thieves, so they were very cautious about this matter, and they knew that this piece of jade was probably a guiding stone, and the real big head might be still to come.
"It's hard to say, I'm a little unsure about this matter, why don't you call Xiao Zhao, he is the owner of this shop" Liu Lao frowned, the experience of being pitted last time was too big a blow for him, and it is a problem to buy this kind of dirty goods whether they are real or fake, and it is also a problem to make a move.
"Hehe, Uncle Fang, Liu Lao don't know what needs me here?" Zhao Ran walked out with a smile when he heard this, he had heard a lot of stories about tomb robbers, and he had never had real contact yet, but he didn't expect to catch up with the good time today and bump into it.
He often heard Mu Lao talk about the story of tomb robbers, this line of work is ancient and mysterious, the most famous tomb robber in ancient times is Cao Cao, he established the gold school captain is still famous today.
As for the modern tomb robbers, there is no one known to the world as Sun Dianying! In 1928, in the name of exercises, the tombs of Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi were excavated, which was famous at that time.
Until today, there are not many professional tomb robbers, and there are even fewer high-grade ones.
Some people may ask, are you kidding? I didn't see the newspapers report every day that whose grave was dug up today and which grave robber was killed yesterday.
In fact, this kind of person is not a professional tomb robber at all, these people generally steal tombs with sealed soil and tombstones, and it can only be said that they are thieves who are not in the climate.
The real professional tomb robbers are generally gangs, there are grave hunters, those who specialize in digging holes, and the messy people who are responsible for the transaction.
As for the lone tomb robbers, it is not uncommon, but they generally do not become a climate.
In ancient times, the real tomb robbers were robbing the tombs of the emperor's nobles, officials, and the rich, and these tombs were either guarded or hidden, what is concealment? After the owner of the tomb was buried, all the tomb repairers killed people and killed them, and the descendants roughly recorded the location of the tomb, which made it difficult to find it, so it was called a hidden tomb.
These two kinds of tombs are very difficult to steal, the former is heavily guarded, and the latter is difficult to find, but they all have the same characteristic, that is, the burial goods are very rich, also called thick burial tombs!
Tomb robbers who can excavate these two kinds of ancient tombs are truly skilled and will be respected by their peers.
As for why these people didn't go to dig up the sealed earth and erect the tombs? Because they know that in addition to professional tomb robbers like them, there are many people who have no skills, similar to this kind of tomb, these people have long been looted, and they are regarded as empty tombs, and it is useless to steal them.
And once people know that they have stolen these tombs, they will be ostracized by their peers, and they will not belong to the tomb robbers, but will be regarded as thieves.
Over the years, there have been a lot of tomb robbery novels, how do you say one sentence? Teaching! A book teaches a person.
The emergence of tomb robbery novels has made many people who don't know history and ancient tombs think that every tomb has treasures, and they carry hoes and shovels to dig other people's ancestral graves.
As a result, often the treasure was not dug up, but some worthless gadgets were dug up, and they were caught and sentenced for theft.
Today's tomb robbers, whether they are from the south or the north, have inherited the ancient and mysterious craft of tomb robbing, and they have their own code of conduct, what tombs can be robbed and what tombs cannot be robbed.
As soon as you stop at the cemetery and look at the surrounding feng shui layout, you can probably judge whether this tomb is valuable or not, and how many burial goods there are, they have a number in their hearts, this is the real expert!
The young man in front of him with a dark complexion and a smell of earth all over his body, Bacheng is the real tomb robber in the legend, and only people like them who roll in the dirt all day long will be contaminated with this smell, and then look at his hands are a little black abnormal, maybe when he was touching the treasure, he was accidentally infected by the corpse qi on the corpse.
"Oh, when did you kid come back? Didn't you study at Peking University? How did you get back? Uncle Fang shouted in surprise, it stands to reason that Zhao Ran should be in class at this time.
"Something happened, and I took a few days off from school, no, I'm going to come over here today to see the second elder." smiled and explained to the second elder, and then asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Oh, let me introduce you, this is Brother Monkey, he's here to sell something." Uncle Fang casually introduced it, and then handed the piece of jade to Zhao Ran's hand, squeezing his eyebrows.
Zhao Ran nodded to show that he understood, and then looked at the ancient jade in his hand, this is a jade cicada, judging from the traces on it, it is obvious that it is a piece of "Shengkeng" ancient jade that has not been unearthed for a long time.
The whole jade cicada is carved with Hetian jade, the knife work is very exquisite, the lines are smooth, the knife is sharp, it must be made by the master, he carefully observed, opened the spiritual eye to see, popped up two large apertures, the aperture is surrounded by crimson aura, this jade cicada has a history of at least two thousand years, and the price is at least more than one million.
Open the perspective eye, his face showed a touch of joy, under the surface of the jade cicada has formed a blood qin, as long as a little play, a piece of heirloom blood Qin ancient jade can be born, from which it can be concluded that the person in front of him is really a tomb robber.
It's just that the general tomb robbers have special dirty personnel, and they will definitely not let a person who works in the field come out and show his face, which is too unsafe, and it is easy to be targeted by the "strip".
"This jade cicada is good, I want it, you can give a price, if it is suitable, I will accept it." I couldn't put it down, Zhao Ran said to the tomb robber called Monkey.
The monkey fox glanced at it suspiciously, and then thought about Uncle Fang and Liu Lao, and the meaning was very clear, who was this young man?
"He said that if he wants to charge you, he will offer the price, this shop is his, and my two old guys are just part-time workers." Uncle Fang was not ashamed at all when he said this, he just said it openly, and he was so urinating.
The monkey glanced at Zhao Ran a little surprised and said, "The boss is really young and promising, I don't know what to call it?" ”
"My surname is Zhao."
"Oh, hello Boss Zhao." This person is quite good at being a person, if he changes his clothes and doesn't have that smell on his body, maybe no one will think about him in the direction of Tufuzi: "This is my family heirloom ancient jade, if you want it, give 100,000?" ”
The monkey's voice was very nervous, because there was a little situation in his gang, and this was the first time he came out to sell dirty goods, and before going out, he specially asked people how to sell them, and listened to those seniors who said that killing people could not make people feel that this was dirty goods.
The result is good, this first sentence almost made Zhao Ran spray, is this color or a family heirloom ancient jade? Make up nonsense, can you also make up a fool of people?
"It can't be a tomb robber who hasn't seen the world, right? Did the people in his gang want to harm him? Such a simple dare to appear in such a place. ”
Zhao Ran didn't understand a little, now the state is quite strict in cracking down on tomb robbery, if a person like a monkey runs to another store, he may be arrested by the clerk to the police.
"Before you came to me, had you been to another store or shown it to others?" Zhao Ran didn't bargain immediately, before buying, he had to ask clearly, otherwise he would be found by the police, and he didn't know whether he would be sentenced or not, but this thing would definitely be handed over, and he would have to deal with a lot of troubles at that time.
The monkey shook his head and assured, "No, I will come to you as soon as I enter the city, and you will be the first to see it." ”
Zhao Ran nodded and said, "You come in with me." After speaking, he walked into the reception room first, and saw that the second elder also meant to follow, and said a little apologetically: "Uncle Fang, Liu Lao, I have some private things I want to tell this friend, I don't know."
Uncle Fang and Liu Lao glanced at each other, and scolded with a smile: "You kid, you are mysterious, you have it, you are too lazy to bother you." After speaking, the second elder went up to the second floor, and they knew that Zhao Ran must have something important, otherwise it would be impossible to drive them out.
Wait a minute, the question Zhao Ran wants to ask is indeed a bit **, and it is not good to be heard by others.
The two walked into the reception room, and Zhao Ran sat there and didn't speak, but made a pot of tea first.
The monkey didn't know if he had never been to this kind of place, and he looked a little restrained, but Zhao Ran smiled when he saw it, this person was really a bit too simple.
"You're a grave robber!" Zhao Ran, who was making tea, coldly came out of his mouth with such a sentence, so frightened that the monkey suddenly stood up from the sofa, and his eyes, which were originally pure, suddenly became very sharp.
"Sit down, you don't have to be too scared, I have some questions for you." Pouring out a copy of the brewed tea and putting it in front of the monkey seat, Zhao Ran picked up his cup and took a sip gently.
The monkey stood there without saying a word, motionless like a sculpture.
Zhao Ran smiled lightly, his lips slightly opened: "Actually, you should be glad, glad that the first person you saw was me, otherwise you would have been arrested by the police, I don't understand, if you are a lone tomb robber, it is impossible to be so inexperienced, and dare to say that this ancient jade is heirloom?" Didn't you blow yourself up? The monkey's face turned pale when he said this.
Speaking of this, his lips were also a little interfering, he took the teacup and swallowed the tea into his stomach, his eyes shot directly at the monkey and asked, "I want to know, is there someone in your gang who wants to harm you?" ”
"What the hell do you mean? If you want this jade, you can give money, and if you don't want me, I'll leave! The monkey picked up the ancient jade and put it in his pocket, turned around and wanted to leave.
"Where can you go? Are you still thinking about selling this piece of jade to someone else? I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, if I hadn't appeared here today, would you believe it or not, as soon as you go out, those two old men outside will call the police station? ”
Zhao Ran didn't say this, Uncle Fang and Liu Lao were so badly killed by tomb robbers, and they hated people in this line of work in their hearts, don't look at the calm appearance outside just now, maybe a raging flame would have ignited in their hearts a long time ago. (To be continued.) )
