Chapter 408: The Past of Xiangxi
"Grandma, I came this time, I bought a bronze mirror from Lao Ma, and last time I transferred a picture of a lady in Lao Ma's hand, Lao Ma said, they are all transferred from your hand, I want to learn more about the origin of these two things from you." Wu Ze asked.
He hopes that from the origin of these things, he can deduce the exact situation of the painting in the painting, and see if it will really be a treasure map, and if so, where is it on the painting, these are what Wu Ze wants to know the most.
Let's see if we can collect some more antiques from the old lady, that's just one of the purposes of being born with Ma Changsheng, of course it's better to be able to collect something, and it doesn't matter if you can't receive something.
In this situation, Wu Ze has no way to say that he wants to collect things, if he really says this, then he is suspected of deliberately picking up cheap, this is not Wu Ze's consistent style of doing things.
So he planned to ask the old lady to see if there was any story in that painting, and whether the bronze mirror was the so-called bronze mirror of the corpse, all of which needed to be understood from the old lady before he could be judged.
"Yes, those two things were all out of me before, those things, they were all brought back hundreds of years ago, when my father-in-law came back from his resignation in Xiangxi, according to my mother-in-law, my father-in-law brought a total of several carriages back, but unfortunately, when the liberation, our house was raided, and most of them were confiscated."
The old lady is usually at home alone, and it is difficult to find someone to talk to, after Wu Ze asked, the old lady found a topic, so she opened the chatterbox, and the old lady told Wu Ze about the origin of the antiques in her house. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing
The antiques that have flowed out of the old lady over the years are all old lady's mother-in-law with some foresight, and two days before her house was raided, she saw that the momentum was wrong, so she secretly hid some things that she thought were more valuable.
And those things that didn't have time to be transferred, all of them were confiscated when the house was raided, and her mother-in-law didn't take long after her son was arrested to eat a gun, and she couldn't afford to be sick and died, and before leaving, she told the old lady where she hid things, and told the old lady about her father-in-law's past as an official in Xiangxi.
Luo Fatzi saw that the old lady began to talk about the past at length, so he moved a Taishi chair for the old lady to sit on, and then moved three small benches, and Wu Ze and Ma Changsheng gathered around the old lady and began to listen to the unknown past.
The old lady's surname is Song, and her husband's surname is Feng, let's call her father-in-law Master Feng, I think back then, Master Feng is also a person who reads poetry and books, he was stumbling for a while when he was young, but then he worked hard and was admitted to the Jinshi, and when he first became an official, he was still an intellectual young man with ideals and ambitions.
It's a pity that at the beginning of his tenure as an official, he offended a certain magnate, so he was sent to Xiangxi and became a small county magistrate.
And he was in Xiangxi as the county order of the place, since ancient times, there is a saying that there are eight mountains, one water and one field, the entire jurisdiction, everywhere is the mountains and mountains, at that time, it was basically a wild land, and the national problem is complicated, as the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters out of the people, so there is no way to talk about the county governance there.
After persisting for a year at the beginning, he exhausted himself, but unfortunately, he didn't see any governance in all aspects, so later, Master Feng let go of his hands and feet and no longer cared about those things that he couldn't manage at all.
At this time, there was a group of people who were doing all kinds of business on weekdays, but secretly they were from the tomb robbery gang, and they came to the door and wanted to find Master Feng to make a deal, planning to partner in this land to do some archaeological excavation business without capital.
For this kind of business of digging up the graves of people's ancestors, Master Feng is very resistant from the heart, but those people are hand-eyed, and if they don't cooperate with them, not only will they not be able to stand here, but they may not be able to live in their hands, and in addition, Master Feng originally offended the powerful in the capital, so he was demoted here.
When there was no hope of promotion and his life might be threatened, Master Feng simply broke the jar and broke it, went directly into the water, and made a deal with the gang of tomb robbers.
After a few years, I don't know how many ancient tombs they have developed and excavated, anyway, Master Feng has divided a lot of things, miscellaneous things, and it is really a lot of them.
Maybe over the years, there have been basically no accidents, so the hearts of these people have been raised, and small fights can no longer satisfy their increasingly inflated greed, so they plan to make a big vote.
After a difficult investigation, they finally determined that in a certain mountain, there is an ancient tomb where a former dynasty Tusi King is buried, according to legend, this Tusi King's tomb, the burial goods inside, that is quite rich.
So they planned to start and develop this ancient tomb, which was a very huge ancient tomb, and I heard that there was a huge amount of gold and silver treasures buried in it, as long as they dug it up, they might be rich at once, and they could wash their hands in a golden basin from now on.
With this good wish, this group of tomb robbers began to implement the preliminary work of the development, never thought that near this ancient tomb, there is a small village, inhabited by a group of mountain people, who have lived here for generations, in order to protect the ancient tomb of Tusi Wang.
At this point, things have become tricky, on the one hand, there are tempting gold and silver jewelry, and on the other hand, there are dozens of families guarding the ancient tomb, and it is an impossible task to unconsciously develop this huge ancient tomb without alarming these mountain people who guard the ancient tomb.
Qian Silk is moving, after all these years of experience, he is already the leader of the tomb robbers and Master Feng with a black heart, as soon as they are combined, they plan to do it directly, if those mountain people come to make trouble, they will be killed directly.
Now that the policies and guidelines have been decided, they pulled out the team, laid out the carriages and horses, led by the leader of the tomb robbers and one of Master Feng's henchmen, plus nearly a hundred teams composed of officials and gold collectors on the road, and marched towards the ancient tomb of King Tusi in the depths of the high mountains and dense forests.
Not to mention the difficulties and dangers along the way, just to say that after reaching the ground, the obstruction of a large group of mountain people made these originally quite large teams directly stop advancing. Take a look at "Tomb Robbery Ghost Town" for free reading for the first time.
