Chapter 487: Earthen Cave Suspicion
Because Huang Si had never sold cultural relics before, he didn't know each other well, and he didn't dare to ask passers-by casually, so he had to wander around the Qingshuihe Antique Street.
He originally wanted to find an antique shop and get rid of the cultural relics in his hand at a low price, but he accidentally saw a warning sign at the corner of the street, which said that no store should buy or sell cultural relics of unknown origin, otherwise it would be a resale of cultural relics and would be severely punished by the law, so he did not dare to enter the store rashly.
In addition, there are police patrols on the antique street from time to time, he saw that the police were even more panicked, afraid of being discovered, so he left the antique street with a few cultural relics, and it was also a coincidence, when he was wandering around, he happened to come to the door of the ancient pavilion, he found that the ancient pavilion was an antique shop, and the ancient pavilion was located in the middle of nowhere, he thought that maybe this antique shop was not supervised, so he walked in.
After listening to Huang Si's narration, Wen Qingshan didn't say a word, and suddenly raised his hand and clicked on him twice, unlocking the acupoints on his body for him, Huang Si was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and when he found that his body could move again, there was a hint of surprise on his face, but he didn't dare to run away immediately, but stood in place in a daze, looking a little overwhelmed.
Wen Qingshan said: "I thought that you were a first-time offender, and it was not deliberate, so I will temporarily release you today." ”
When Huang Si heard this, he immediately nodded at Wen Qingshan.
Wen Qingshan suddenly changed his words, and said very sternly: "However, you can't take these cultural relics with you!" I will help you hand it over to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Cultural Relics Bureau will give you a bonus, which will go to you. ”
As soon as he heard that there was a bonus, Huang Si's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked tentatively: "Can the bonus ...... How many can there be? ”
Wen Qingshan unzipped his backpack, took out all the cultural relics inside, and placed them on the table, he glanced at the cultural relics on the table, turned his head and asked Huang Si rhetorically, "Do you really want to know how much these cultural relics are worth?" ”
Huang Si nodded immediately.
Wen Qingshan stretched out four fingers and said, "I won't hide it from you, it can be worth this amount!" ”
"Worth 400,000!?" Huang Si blurted out.
Wen Qingshan waved his hand: "No!" It's four million! ”
"What...... What the! Huang Si was stunned, he didn't seem to expect that the antique he brought could be worth so much money.
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Hehe, however, four million is the auction price, and these things can theoretically be auctioned for four million, but because the origin is unknown, ordinary merchants dare not receive the goods at all, so even if you offer one million, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a buyer." ”
Huang Si said: "I don't want four million, and I don't want one million, as long as I can give three or five hundred thousand!" ”
Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe! You young man, you are not greedy, so let's do it, I will give you 400,000 yuan, and these antiques will be handed over to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and I estimate that the bonus you can get is probably so much. ”
When Huang Si heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he immediately said, "Done!" That's it! ”
Who knew that Wen Qingshan waved his hand again and said, "Don't worry, I still have one condition." ”
Huang Si hurriedly asked, "What...... What conditions? ”
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said, "You have to take us to find that dirt cave." ”
"Ah......" Huang Si was stunned for a moment, he seemed to be afraid of that place, and a trace of unease flashed across his face. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stammered, "I...... I said boss, there is a ...... in that place There are dead people...... and it's a strange place, I ...... I don't want to go again. ”
Wen Qingshan seemed to expect the other party to answer like this, and said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be in a hurry to refuse me first, as long as you promise to take us there, I will give you another 50,000." ”
As soon as Huang Si heard that there was a reward, and it was such a generous reward, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost didn't think about it, and immediately agreed. As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and this is really true.
Wen Qingshan asked Huang Si to wait downstairs, and then called Haihuzi, briefly told him about the situation on the phone, and asked him to bring two people over as much as possible, and then go to Huangcai Town, Ningxiang together.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qingshan turned to me again: "Shi Yu, I'm waiting for Brother Hai and them in the store, you go back and get ready, bring all your things, and we'll go to that place together later." ”
I didn't expect Wen Qingshan to let me go with me, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and asked, "Do I go with me too?" ”
Wen Qingshan nodded: "I estimate that the earth cave where Huang Si fell is very likely to be a robbery hole leading to a certain Western Zhou ancient tomb." ”
As soon as I heard that I was exploring the ancient tomb again, I immediately pushed it back and said: "Boss Wen, you know, I don't know much about cultural relics and antiques, and I will have a good time with it, or I won't go." ”
Wen Qingshan smiled: "Hehe, don't you want to go and see, what's in that ancient tomb?" ”
I said disapprerovingly: "What can there be in the ancient tomb, isn't it just some funeral goods, maybe it can be worth a few dollars, but you have called a piece of the Cultural Relics Bureau, even if the funeral goods are worth a lot, it will not be my turn." ”
Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said, "You know, although Wen likes cultural relics, I never covet the things in this tomb." The reason why I asked you to go with you is because I think there may be something in that tomb that interests you. ”
I was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked, "What am I interested in?" What is it? ”
Wen Qingshan didn't answer me immediately, but picked up the copper bell from the table, held it in his hand, and then raised his head and asked me rhetorically, "Have you ever thought about why this copper bell appeared in that ancient tomb?" ”
I was suddenly asked, I really hadn't thought about it.
Wen Qingshan asked again: "Then have you noticed that this bronze bell, which is also made of bronze, is there any difference between it and several other bronze cultural relics?" ”
Hearing him say this, I took a closer look at the bronze bell in his hand, and then looked at the other bronzes on the table, and found that the surface of the copper bell was very smooth, and there was no trace of rust on it, while the other bronzes were rusty.
Wen Qingshan once said that the copper bell is not made of ordinary bronze, but a very rare and special bronze material, this special bronze seems to have been treated with anti-rust, even if it is buried in the ground for a long time, it is not easy to rust.
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth and asked, "Boss Wen, do you want to say that the material used to create this copper bell is different from other bronzes?" ”
"Hehe, that's just one of them."
"So what's the second one?" I hurriedly asked.
Wen Qingshan picked up a bronze wine bottle from the table and said, "Look at the other bronzes, they are all stained with mud, but only this copper bell is very clean on it. This also indicates that this bronze bell may not have been excavated from an ancient tomb. ”
I was slightly stunned: "Boss Wen, what do you mean by this?" What if this copper bell was not dug up from an ancient tomb? So where did Huang Si get it from? ”
Wen Qingshan frowned and said, "Huang Si shouldn't be lying!" He said it all came from the backpack next to the corpse in the cave, so I thought maybe the owner of the bell was the corpse! And the reason why he brought the copper bell with him was actually to ward off evil spirits! It's just that Huang Si didn't know it, and mistakenly regarded the copper bell as one of the cultural relics. ”
"What!?" Listening to Wen Qingshan's analysis, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Wen Qingshan turned his head to look at me, and said, "You once told me before that your master originally had a copper bell, but it was taken by your master, isn't it?" ”
I nodded, suddenly understood something, and exclaimed, "Wait, Boss Wen, don't you want to say that that corpse is my master!?" ”
"I'm not sure, but I can't rule it out! I remember that you also said that your master took away half of the book, and in the back cover of that half of the book, there may be a hidden map of the other half of the Tibetan Ding left by King Dayu. ”
Listening to Wen Qingshan say this, I finally understood, it turned out that what he said I was interested in was not referring to the burial goods in the ancient tomb, but the corpse that Huang Si found in the earth cave.
But I felt a little puzzled again, and asked: "Boss Wen, since it's to investigate the corpse, can't we just go, why do you have to call someone from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau to go together?" ”
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Do you know something, this Huangcai Town has been designated as a national cultural relics protection area as early as a few years ago, according to the regulations, even if a brick and tile are excavated underground, you must immediately report to the cultural relics department." The soil cave that Huang Si found was obviously a thief hole, not to mention that there was a corpse in the thief cave, if we went in to investigate it privately, we were afraid that we would cause some trouble in the future. ”
Hearing Wen Qingshan say this, it is not unreasonable for me to think about it, since the body was found in that soil cave, it is a murder, and the police will definitely intervene in the investigation, if Wen Qingshan and I quietly enter before this, in case the police find the two of us a day later, it will really be impossible to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River, and it will be difficult to bear the charge of a murder suspect.
It's just that it's also a headache to go with the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau, on the one hand, these guys are conformist, and there is a relatively large gap with my philosophy, I'm afraid that disputes will be inevitable at that time, on the other hand, if I go with someone I don't know, I still have to hide my true strength, what fire dragon energy, water dragon energy, dragon crystal sword energy, can't be used lightly, and Wuchenzi naturally can't be summoned lightly, in this way, I am equivalent to being tied hands and feet, In case there is any unexpected situation in the ancient tomb, I am afraid that it will not be easy to deal with,
