Chapter 257: The Origin of the Thousand-Year Ancient Tomb
The next day, Lang Xingtian led a part of the special police to the scene of the thousand-year-old tomb.
"Lang Bureau, this is Mo Peng, the person in charge of the thousand-year-old tomb excavation site, Professor Mo, is a cultural relics expert in the province." Mao Jin hurriedly introduced Lang Xingtian.
"Hello, Professor Mo." Lang Xingtian took the initiative to stretch out his hand and say hello.
"Professor Mo, this is the director of our police station, Lang Xingtian, Director Lang." Mao Jin hurriedly introduced.
"Hello, Director Lang." Mo Peng just coped with it. The two sides shook hands.
"Professor Mo, have you determined whose burial place this thousand-year-old tomb is?" Lang Xingtian asked curiously.
"Basically, it can be determined that this thousand-year-old tomb should have been established in the era of Zheng Maisi, as for whether Zheng Maisi is buried inside, it is still unknown?" Mo Peng said.
"Zheng Maihei? Who is this person? How come you've never heard of it? Lang Xingtian asked suspiciously.
"Zheng Maihei, the specific time of birth is unknown, but died in the third year of Kaiping (909), is the seventh grandson of Zheng Hui of the Han Dynasty, who was an official in Nanzhao and became the prime minister. Zheng Maihei has a knighthood, and his family belongs to the aristocracy and participates in politics. When Long Shun was in charge, Zheng Maihei was in charge, and Shun was the prime minister when he turned Zhen into a power to seize the country. ”
In the fourth year of Qianning (897), Zheng Maisi instructed Yang Deng, a close minister of the Mengshi clan of Nanzhao, to kill Longshun, the king of Nanzhao. In the second year of Tianfu (902), Zheng Maisi raised troops to kill more than 800 people of Shunhuazhen and the Nanzhao royal family, destroyed the Nanzhao Kingdom, established a new regime, and named it the Great Changhe State, and established the Yuan Anguo.
After the establishment of the new regime, Zheng Maisi adopted a closed and stubborn attitude towards the Central Plains court, and had few political contacts, let alone military action, but he was said to be an emperor in the mountains. This thousand-year-old tomb was established at that time," Mo Peng said in detail about Zheng Maihei's information.
"Or Zhang has seen it, Professor Mo, I don't know how the excavation of the ancient tomb is progressing now?" Lang Xingtian asked.
"The area around the main tomb is being cleaned up now, and the main tomb has not yet begun to be excavated and cleaned." Mo Peng replied.
"Only now to clean up to the periphery? The main tomb hasn't been cleaned yet? That's too slow, isn't it? Lang Xingtian asked with a frown.
"Lang Bureau, this ancient tomb excavation work is not digging the foundation to build a house. When excavating, we must be careful, if we accidentally touch something of great archaeological value, it is a crime against history. Professor Mo said solemnly.
"This old man is scaring me again, and he is still committing a crime against history? This hat is really big enough, it is really an old stubborn and pedantic one. Lang Xingtian scolded in his heart.
However, Lang Xingtian still said politely on the surface: "Professor Mo, according to your estimate, how long will it take for such excavation work to be completed?"
"How can this be estimated, excavating the ancient tomb is a very careful and rigorous thing, it cannot be estimated by time, and there will be sudden changes at any time." Professor Mo still has a serious face.
"Professor Mo, to tell you the truth, the news of the discovery of a thousand-year-old tomb here, and the discovery of the tomb of the 'Yellow Intestine Inscription', has spread, and those tomb robbers and theft groups have flocked here like sharks that have smelled blood."
"So I can protect these dead people and things for eight days out of ten, but I can't protect them for half a year or a year, with those crazy bandits, they will do everything they can to steal the treasures here. They have all kinds of strange methods, and there will always be times when we are negligent, and then you won't even get the fragments, and there will be no archaeological value. Lang Xingtian's tone was very unkind.
"That's your business, my job is to be in charge of the excavation, as for safety is your business, you've been delaying me for a long time, if nothing else, I'm going to work. Professor Mok's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.
"Old stubborn, you listen to me, I am indeed responsible for the safety work, but one more day of delay, the more danger there is, I can't put my brother in danger all the time, and you are also very dangerous.
"Old stubborn, you have been archaeology for so many years, and you have dealt with tomb robbers a lot, what virtue do they have? How ruthless is it? You also know it in your heart, so for the sake of your own safety, as well as the safety of my brothers, I hope you can speed up a little faster. "Lang Xingtian is angry" Otherwise, Lao Tzu will plant explosives here and blow up all these dead people's things, my brother's life is much more important than these dead people's things." Lang Xingtian looked at Professor Mo coldly, although he said it very indifferently, but everyone present felt Lang Xingtian's firmness, maybe he really did this kind of thing.
The old and the young stared at each other like this, and no one was convinced.
"I try." After Mo Peng finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left.
"This old man is a little cute, but he is too stubborn." Lang Xingtian looked at Mo Peng's back and smiled faintly.
"Only you dare to fight him, Professor Mo is an authority on archaeology, and his temper is also notoriously stubborn, I didn't expect to admit defeat today, or you are a cow. Mao Jin stretched out his thumb and said.
"It's not me who is a cow, but what I'm telling the truth, this old stubbornness is also reasonable, but his temper is too stubborn." Lang Xingtian said with a smile: "Lang Bureau, you are in charge of the safety of the thousand-year-old tomb, I am much more relieved, these days can worry me to death, this work of guarding the cemetery is really difficult, while facing a group of people who only know research with a straight face, and on the other hand, you have to prevent those bandits from stealing things, it is really a headache." Mao Jin rubbed his head and said painfully.
"There's still something you can't figure out Captain Mao, it's really not easy," Lang Xingtian said with a joke.
"Lang Bureau, don't make fun of me, my level, you Lang Bureau is not clear?" Mao Jin immediately said modestly.
"Okay, Captain Mao, no kidding, have you found any suspicious people recently?" Lang Xingtian looked around.
"Can you not? In the past few days, the surrounding is full of ghosts, and at first glance, you can smell the smell of thieves from afar, these guys are really crazy, and they dare to come over to make up their minds when they see so many soldiers. Mao Jin sighed.
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. If there are really treasures in this, then all of them must be priceless, and getting any of them is enough to live a chic life, so these bandits are so crazy. Lang Xingtian sneered.
"Actually, if I am a member of the theft group, I will also do this thing, it is indeed too tempting, the value of the treasures on the periphery alone is already amazing, not to mention the treasures in the main tomb." Mao Jin was also shocked and emotional when he mentioned the value of the treasure.
"Also, it's hard for people to resist the temptation of money. Go and take a look inside. Lang Xingtian smiled.
"I've seen an old acquaintance." Lang Xingtian came to the excavation site, didn't take a few steps, saw a familiar person, and said happily.
"Lang Ju still knows people in this place? Who? Mao Jin smelled curiously.
"Liu Zong, old friend, let's go, go over and have a look." Lang Xingtian smiled.
"Lang Bureau, how did you know Platoon Commander Liu, I heard that this Platoon Commander Liu is also a well-known figure in the Armed Police Military Region." Mao Jin asked curiously.
"I used to stay in the Armed Police Military Region for a while, and I had a little friendship with Liu Zong." Lang Xingtian replied.
"Liu Zong, I didn't expect to see you here?" Lang Xingtian greeted with a smile.
"Xingtian, why are you here?" Liu Zong was immediately pleasantly surprised when he saw Lang Xingtian.
"What? Only if you are here, I will not be allowed to be here? Lang Xingtian said with a smile.
"You can't be what they call Director Lang, right?" Liu Zong suddenly realized and asked.
"Isn't it like?" Lang Xingtian touched his nose and teased.
"I'm just a little surprised, I didn't expect to be in power at such a young age." Liu Zong calmed down his shock and said with a smile.
"Hehe, aren't you bad? Isn't it also a platoon commander now, there are dozens of soldiers below, all of them are elites. Lang Xingtian said approvingly.
"I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, it's all thanks to you, the person in charge of the police this time turned out to be you, and my uneasy heart can also be put down." Liu Zong exhaled deeply, looking at the scene of guarding the thousand-year-old tomb, there was indeed a lot of pressure.
