I was about to go with him, but the young man told me not to go to the council chamber, and he came directly to me and the stallion.

Although he is full of curiosity, since grandpa said so, he has his own reasons.

After the fire was gone, the stallion asked me to untie him, but of course I wouldn't untie him, so they started to damage each other again.

The positive loss was aroused, and the grandfather's familiar voice came: "Good grandson, why are you talking so happily with the boy of the Ma family, tell the old man!" ”

"Grandpa!" I shouted excitedly. "Eh, good old man!" The stallion shouted too.

Grandpa is still the same as before, with a faint hint of majesty on his kind face, and he will always have that resolute and confident demeanor.

Because there were so many questions and puzzles I wanted to ask, I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know where to start.

"Haha, how is Ma Da Nose now? Are you okay? Grandpa asked. The stallion replied: "Thank you for your concern, my grandfather is in good health, but he often makes old problems, and everything else is fine." ”

"Alas, the old problem of Ma Da's nose is still caused by my Ouyang family." Grandpa sighed. "Oh? yes, my grandfather didn't tell me about that, hehe. "Stallion Road.

"You should be called Ma Guoqing, right?" Grandpa asked.

"This, old man, you know, don't say it, I plan to change my name sooner, I just don't have time, hey, by the way, old man, he said he has a lot of things to ask you," said the stallion immediately.

, the stallion's real name is Ma Guoqing, this name is really the main theme, good!

But I did have to ask Grandpa a lot of things, because the backpack was still in Lotus Stamen's house, so I could only describe the glow plate in words, and then ask him what it was.

Grandpa smiled and said, "You kid, you are still the same as when you were a child, you are so anxious to do anything, let me tell you a little about our family and the family of the Ma family." Ma Da Nose should have kept the agreement and didn't tell you, right? ”

When the stallion heard this, his head nodded like a rice chicken, "Yes, yes, my old man only briefly told me that he had a good relationship with the Ouyang family, and some of the situation with the Ouyang family, and nothing else was said, including the disappearance of my father and mother." At the end of the day, the stallion's expression darkened.

As soon as I heard it, it was so, no wonder the stallion was overly enthusiastic when he heard my name, it turned out that he knew it was his own person.

I asked the stallion why he didn't say it earlier, and the grandson said you didn't ask me either, damn, I was really careless in making friends.

Although I was a little reluctant that my grandfather would not talk about the screen immediately, what he said next deeply attracted our attention, and because the content was too varied, I summarized it and made the following notes.

This is the true history of a two-thousand-year-old family of tomb robbers.

If you want to talk about this family of tomb robbers, you must first mention one person: the widow Qing of the Qin Dynasty.

Seeing this, some people may say, "Qin Qing, do you still need to say this?" Cut! But the widow Qing here is not the widow Qing in the TV series you imagined, let alone the canary raised by Qin Shi Huang in the palace.

The widow Qing's life history is a mystery, and the information about her, judging from the ancient documents that have been unearthed, can know that she is a native of Bajun who existed in the pre-Qin period, a large industrial and commercial owner in the Warring States Period, and the earliest female entrepreneur in China and even in the world.

"Historical Records - The Biography of the Goods Colony" has a cloud: "Ba widow Qing, she first got the Dan acupoint, and she was good at it for several generations, and her family was not happy." Clear, widows are also able to keep their inheritance, defend themselves with money, and do not violate them. Emperor Qin thought that he was a virgin and a guest, and he was pregnant with a clear platform for a woman. The husband is a contemptible shepherd, a widow in a poor township, a courtesy and anti-multiplication, and a name for himself in the world, isn't it rich and evil?

The meaning of this passage is: "Since the ancestors of the widow Qing of Ba County got the cinnabar mine (so some people call the widow Qing the queen of Dansha), they have monopolized their profits for several generations, and their family property is innumerable. Qing is a widow who can keep the family business of her ancestors and use money to protect herself from being violated by others. Qin Shi Huang thought she was a virgin and treated her with courtesy, and also built a Huaiqing platform for her. Wu Shilu is just a marginal person and a herdsman, and the widow Qing of Bajun is a widow in a poor country, but she can compete with the emperor and become famous all over the world, isn't this because they are rich? ”

The most influential "entrepreneurs" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were only Fan Li, Zigong, Bai Gui, Yidun, Guo Zong, Wu Shi Lu, and Ba Widow Qing.

She was the first woman to be recorded in the official history under her real name. This is a glory that the women of the pre-Qin period, including the Empress Dowager of Qin Xuan (Mi Yue) and the biological mother of the First Emperor (Zhu Ji), did not have.

Not only that, but the widow Qing also received the courtesy of Qin Shi Huang's "courtesy against ten thousand times", of course, this is not to say that the widow Qing can compete with Qin Shi Huang, but Qin Shi Huang, who has the respect of ten thousand times, treats her with courtesy. Therefore, Widow Qing is a well-deserved first sister of the Qin Dynasty, and there is no problem!

Ba was the rear of the Qin Dynasty, and the rulers of the Qin Dynasty adopted a policy of encompassing and leniency towards the powerful landlords in the Bayu region, allowing them to own property, tribes and private armies.

The widow Qing has a large commercial network throughout the country, and most of them started from Dansha mines, so she has a large private army.

The evidence is that in the records of the official histories such as the "Historical Records" and the "Book of Han", the description "self-defense with wealth and no violation" is used to describe the power of the widow Qing. What does this mean?

It is clear that the widow Qing used her immeasurable wealth to raise a large private army to protect her commercial network throughout China.

The "Qin Law" clearly stipulates that weapons in the world shall not be privately hidden.

In an era when it was strictly forbidden for people to possess weapons privately, the widow Qing actually had her own arms, which shows that her personal power was so huge that Qin Shi Huang had some scruples and was unwilling to turn his face with the widow Qing (when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the widow Qing was almost sixty or seventy years old, so there was no such possibility), and this power was obviously based on her huge industrial strength.

Most of the widow's energy in her later years was spent on preserving her family wealth under the oppression of Qin Shi Huang, but the result was also "120,000 households in Xianyang", and no one knew the final outcome of the Dansha Empire.

The above are all things recorded in the official history, but the ancestors of our family know why the widow Qing Neng had such a large private army and was not punished by Qin Shi Huang.

Because our family ancestors came from the huge private army of widow Qing. All this is because of the "elixir".

Widow Qing had the most and best Dansha mines in the world at that time, Dansha was an important mineral in ancient times, and its use was very wide. It can be used to make vermilion pigments, as a sedative, and to treat skin diseases such as scabies.

In addition, cinnabar is both poisonous and antiseptic, so the ancients believed that using cinnabar to make gold pill can make people immortal, and often used cinnabar as the main material for alchemy. Qin Shi Huang sought immortality, and dansha was particularly important.

In fact, the mercury ore used to refine mercury is usually the dansha that the ancients said. After dansha is heated, it can be desulfurized and decomposed to obtain mercury.

The Qin Dynasty's demand for dansha and mercury was very huge, because of two aspects:

First, Qin Shi Huang wanted the elixir of life, and Xu Fu was responsible for supervising the refining, often opening thousands of Dan furnaces at the same time, refining day and night.

Second, the rivers and lakes of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang require countless tons of mercury for irrigation.

However, relying only on the mineral mining and smelting technology of more than 2,000 years ago, it is far from enough for the widow to create things in heaven, and the demand for dozens of tons of moving animals.

What to do? Grave!

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the atmosphere of swallowing pills for longevity was also very strong, and the tombs of the princes and overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and even the princes and nobles of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties had a huge stock of dansha and treasures.

In the pre-Qin period, the yin and yang doctrine of the hundred schools of thought prevailed, and the martial arts reached a peak.

The widow Qing recruited these masters to his door and treated them well, not only that, but also let these masters with their own strengths settle down in Ba County and multiply, hoping that they would pass on the ability to rob tombs from generation to generation.

After a long period of running-in, the old and the new are replaced, and they are fused with each other, and slowly form six powerful tomb robbing families.

Therefore, anyone who has a little ability in the tomb robbery industry knows a saying handed down from ancient times: six micro and one out, there is no tomb in the world!

This is not to say that Liuwei will steal any tomb, what this means is that they will only steal the tombs with rich burial goods at the lowest level, the tombs of ordinary rich people and officials, they still can't look down on it, as the founder of the tomb robbery organization, they can't afford to lose that person!

No one will think that they are bragging, because the people of Liuwei have not had a single record of missing from the beginning of their establishment to the present.

Therefore, it makes sense that Qin Shi Huang could allow the widow Qing to have such a large private armed guard, which on the surface was the widow Qing's private armed force, but in fact it was used to help Qin Shi Huang guard the mines and rob the tomb.

But people are not ruthless, historical records record that widows are kind to laborers, welfare is quite good, ordinary miners can do so, for their own single-handedly formed tomb robbery armies, widow Qing as long as not too stupid, will definitely do their best, Liuwei The members of the tomb robbery organization are also very loyal to widow Qing, at least when widow Qing was alive, never betrayed her.

Therefore, for Qin Shi Huang, this tomb robber was just a non-enemy who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement.

Because the widow Qing had no queen and did not remarry, after her death, Qin Shi Huang immediately sent someone to take over all the property of the widow Qing, and adopted a policy of extermination for other families who did not take refuge in his tomb robber family, and the tomb robber family in Liuwei has been scattered all over the country since then to live in seclusion.

Fortunately, Qin Shi Huang also died soon after, and these families have resumed contact with each other, and in the process of their own seclusion, they have formed a powerful tomb robbery sect with their extraordinary tomb robbing ability and force.

The organization of Liuwei was originally a relatively loose organization created by the widow Qing, and there was no one in it who was the leader, the widow Qing was gone, and the relationship between these tomb robber families was only not hostile, and for a long time, sometimes they cooperated, but they never merged into one organization.

This situation continued until around 1937, when the national crisis was at the beginning of the crisis, and the four families that were related to each other united and did many actions to save the nation from peril.

Although the tomb robber family is still doing their old job, they have also taken out a lot of family funds to fund the anti-Japanese army. There were also people who participated in anti-Japanese actions, and then it has been until now.

This is where the family history basically ends.

After my grandfather finished speaking, I asked, "Old man, if our ancestors were the earliest tomb robbery organization, then what is the origin of the legendary Captain Cao Cao?" ”

Grandpa said lightly: "That's the descendant of the family that took refuge in Qin Shi Huang." ”

The stallion said angrily: ", it turns out that there was a traitor within us!" Touching the gold captain doesn't look like a good thing either! ”

"This was all a thousand years ago, and now no matter what grievances there are, they have disappeared, and besides, tomb robbery has always been a matter of damaging yin morality, and now it is even more illegal, our four families have not been held accountable for their contributions to the nation, and future generations have been able to recuperate peacefully. The other two families, one was wanted and suppressed and has lost a trace, and the other moved abroad on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The fact that we can stay in our homeland is the best outcome for us. Grandpa said.

"However, that one of the descendants of touching gold once helped Sun Dianying steal the tomb of Cixi, and there are many imperial tombs that have been stolen, all of which have the shadow of their participation, and those domestic and foreign forces are so easy to get their hands on, if you just talk about tomb robbery methods, the descendants of touching gold are probably the strongest in the six micros! It's a pity that he ended up on the wrong path. Grandpa added.

The stallion was unconvinced: "I don't believe it, they can be stronger than you and my old man?" ”

Grandpa smiled: "The boy of the Ma family, self-confidence is a good thing, but there is a sky outside the sky, if you meet it in the future, you will know that what I said is true." ”

"Then our four major families should be prosperous now, why are our parents missing? What about the rest of the family? I asked.

Grandpa took a sip of tea, paused and said, "This is the second part of my story, and it is also the key to your main concern. ”

Grandpa and stallion's grandfather's generation, when they were young, the four major families were still very powerful in the country, and there were many family members.

Tomb robbers are arrested, that is for other people, for the people of the four major families, as long as they do not steal the ancient tombs that have been officially found to have not entered, keep a low profile after they succeed, don't shout around, it is acquiesced by the official, and generally will not cause you any trouble.

However, all the treasures stolen from the tombs are not allowed to be sold to any outsiders or foreigners, but can only be sold to officially designated museums, and the relevant classification experts will pay for the funds after valuation.

The four major families are a family of tomb robbers who have inherited 2,000 years, and tomb robbery has been developed into an art by them, and they themselves have extremely strict technical requirements for tomb robbing.

This is not comparable to those small tomb robbers and Tufuzi with a little bit of heritage, the most important thing is that they often do a better job than many professional archaeological teams to protect the ancient tomb and take out the integrity of the Ming artifacts after entering the ancient tomb.

How many years has archaeology only been developed? Can it be compared to a thousand-year-old family? Therefore, they did not arouse much disgust in the academic world, and in many cases they were often invited by the archaeological team to do guidance.

Originally, according to the normal routine, the four major families should live happily forever, but then two major events occurred, resulting in the current situation.
