Chapter 572: Wealth and Rebellion
It is estimated that it is difficult for the unit to recognize the private bonus, so Yunjiang asked to convert public bonds into private debts.
If you don't want to pay from the unit, then it's good to say, we will ask your family for money!
However, because Wen Mushan had never been in camp, he and his wife were both working-class and not academic authorities. Over the years, in order to study archaeology, he has added a lot of ancient books, and it can be said that in addition to daily use, the family has only four walls.
At a critical time, Fei Tang found Wen Mushan.
"The tip was discussed with me, and after returning to Beijing, I could make accounts and report more items to reimburse the workers for their income...... Handwritten IOUs, signed one by one...... After studying for many years, he ended up with greed for ink to make a career, a great shame, a great shame! ”
Wen Mushan is a nerd with a dead brain, he is an intellectual with human dignity, but now in order to complete the archaeological project in front of him, he has no choice but to use his crooked mind to raise money.
It was something that touched his soul, and the signing and signing of the IOU destroyed his dignity even more.
The IOU was signed, and the team had spent so many days working hard, and it was already a lack of people and horses, and there was a shortage of food, so Fei Tang proposed to go back to the county seat to raise supplies at this moment.
"Only tip one person to return to the city, and the others stay behind, so that those who are not determined will never return."
Wen Mushan wrote a sentence like this in his notebook, and then crossed it out with a pen, and rewrote it below-
"The IOU has been signed, promising to start work, you should trust others, and don't treat people with malice. Remember! ”
In this way, for fear of opposition from other migrant workers, Fei Tang secretly set off at night and headed towards Yecheng. As a result, the next day, the workers found out that Fei Tang was not there, and immediately opened the pot.
“…… The crowd was angry and asked for money, but in desperation, they could only agree. ”
It seems that the further back he goes, the more miscellaneous things Wen Mushan remembers, his sentences become more and more concise, and his handwriting becomes more and more messy, which shows that the handling team and military spirit occupy most of his energy.
“…… Everyone cares like that?! Everything is evil, what is the benefit? This is also the question he has in his notes.
But on the fourth day after Fei Tang left, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
After agreeing to add more money to the migrant workers and writing a bunch of IOUs, Wen Mushan finally led a team to the archaeological site to start construction. Unexpectedly, within a few days of the start of construction, they had a huge harvest.
“…… Found the cellar next to the ruins of the small palace in the west of the city, there are thirteen wooden boxes in the cellar, there are silk, porcelain, jade, spices, jewelry, classics, all kinds of cultural relics, countless, especially jewelry, gold, jade, the value is immeasurable! It is really a major event in the archaeological history of the Western Regions! ”
As soon as the treasure was discovered, the entire archaeological team suddenly became diligent as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
“…… The team was so excited that their work efficiency increased so much that there were even people who asked to return to work at night. Before, because it was about ineffective, the fighting spirit was worn out, but now it has a new look and morale is available! ”
But Wen Mushan was just a scholar after all, and he didn't realize the evil intentions and dangers hidden under this morale at all.
To put it bluntly, the reason why those people were not motivated at all and are full of energy now is not because they have seen treasures. However, Wen Mushan is not alone, although Fei Tang is gone, at least there is still a loyal Wang Tuda.
"Wang Tuda visited at night and informed Huang Shanbao and others that they might be plotting to start an incident, why it is so serious, but people are unpredictable, and they have to be guarded against."
Although Wen Mushan was suspicious, the unearthed cultural relics obviously attracted most of his attention.
"Ceramic utensils, mostly three-colored, there are polo figurines, ladies and drums figurines, etc. There is a silk painting, the picture shows the characters of various countries in the Western Regions, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is an antiquity of the Sui and Tang dynasties. A box of gold coins from various countries, dozens of agate beads...... If you tip and see so many cultural relics, you must be ecstatic. ”
It seems that when Wen Mushan counted the cultural relics, he never forgot his good friends.
Just when the excavation work was in full swing, Fei Tang finally returned from Yecheng, bringing not only food and water, but also Wen Mushan's wife, Shu Yun.
"My wife came to visit suddenly, and it was a mixed blessing. Tips were carried to the workers' tents. ”
The words "mixed blessings and sorrows" are a little suspicious, and I don't know what Wen Mushan is happy about and worried about. He must have given the tip to show the excavated artifacts, and the two people who had made this trip must have celebrated.
"Drinking and eating meat in the middle of the night, bonfire dancing, and the excavation of the ruins of the West Night will be a major event in China's archaeological history."
Flipping back further, the notebook's paper suddenly became loose.
Shen Yu also obviously noticed this problem, she nodded to me and said, "There are a few pages here that have been torn off. ”
"Is it because of something bad?" I said to myself.
"Maybe it's to keep people from seeing something, maybe it's been torn off by someone else." She frowned, looking like she wanted to ponder. But she glanced down at her watch and quickly flipped it down.
"People's hearts are changing. Tipping also found out about a cellar and a mass burial site, but we didn't make it public just in case. ”
“…… The incident happened elbow and armpit, and the three of us were in danger! How to deal with ???! ”
There is another piece of paper underneath that clearly shows the jagged marks left after being torn off.
Shen Yu frowned, she used a flashlight to shine on the marks on the paper below, and I found that it might be through the marks on the back of the paper!
Bai Ya'er apparently found traces next to her, and she quickly pulled out another bottle of spray from her bag.
"This makes the impression a little clearer – rest assured, the damage to the paper is almost negligible."
She took the spray and sprayed it on the paper below a few times, only to see that the handwriting quickly revealed a concave and convex feeling, and the entire white paper seemed to have been rubbed, and the handwriting on the torn paper was clearly revealed.
“sos! sos! sos! ”
This is obviously Wen Mushan's note, he first wrote three huge distress signals, and then the text.
"The archaeological team of the West Night Ruins asked for help! There have been major discoveries in the archaeology of the West Night, confirming the site of the city of Huqian Valley, and more than ten boxes of various cultural relics have been found.
"Ten temporary workers hired by the archaeological team, except for Wang Tuda, the remaining nine, led by Yunjiang, suddenly started an incident in order to compete for cultural relics. During the mutiny, Researcher Fei Tang was killed, and my wife and I were arrested. Fortunately, Wang Tu rescued and escaped.
"In the vast desert, I have been wounded, so I asked Wang Tuda to ask for help! Please contact the Yecheng County Cultural Relics Bureau, Public Security Bureau, etc.! Thanks! ”
Below is Wen Mushan's scribbled signature, it seems that the situation is really urgent, and even he who has always been calm is not calm.
That's the end of the note.
This is obviously completely different from what the police found out at the time.
In the initial police records, they found that Wang Tuda had been injured by an iron pickaxe, and during the autopsy, a distress letter was found in his stomach.
The letter was written by Mr. Huang, who said that he and other temporary workers, as well as his assistant Fei Tang, had been drugged and unconscious by Mr. and Mrs. Wen Mushan and then imprisoned in a tent. They asked Wang Tuda to go to ask for help, and so on.
