Chapter 244: A National Treasure Whose Body Was Dismembered
The Kowloon Cup and the Golden Silk Knot must be collected, and as for the Tian Huang seal and Wang Yuanqi, they are used to auction and win connections. Now I have seen the bronze national treasure, the original works of the Song and Yuan dynasties, these gadgets are not worth mentioning.
The baby treasured it by himself, and the lot was handed over directly to Ling Tiancheng, and when the number was accumulated, he organized a special session of Mingyuanzhai boutique for the second time, and gradually built up the brand effect.
"Our target today is Qingxi Mausoleum?"
Everyone came to the vicinity of the Phoenix Terrace in the west of the Qing Dynasty, and Wen Yiming stood high and low and looked into the distance and said: "When it comes to the theft of the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, they will say that the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, and the Western Tombs are rarely mentioned, has it not been stolen?"
"In fact, almost all the Qing tombs were dug up by tomb robbers in the Republic of China, except for the first Shunzhi filial piety tomb that entered the customs, it is said that because the urn was buried inside, the tomb robbers were not interested, and the others were all dug up. ”
"Among the tombs in Xiling that have the greatest influence, the tomb of Concubine Zhen, because of "Night Robbery of Concubine Zhen's Tomb" and the movie of the same name, this matter was hyped up 20 years ago, and everyone knows about it. But this tomb is not Concubine Zhen's, but the tomb of Concubine Zhen's sister Concubine Jin, which should be called the tomb of Concubine Jin of Night Robbery. ”
"The Eight-Nation Alliance entered the Forbidden City, Cixi fled westward, and Concubine Jin saw her sister being pushed into the well and drowned, and she couldn't tell her bitterness. Concubine Jin was imprisoned in the harem, did not waste the years, found solace in the pen and ink Danqing, painted well, and wrote beautifully, and the Forbidden City once had a fan painted by her. ”
"After Cixi's death, Concubine Jin came out of the palace and had the most status in the palace, and was more respected than the concubines of Emperor Tongzhi. ”
"After Concubine Jin died, the imperial court spent a total of more than 6,000 taels of silver to build a tomb for her on the east side of Concubine Zhen's tomb. At that time, the imperial court had no money at all, and the original tomb was very shabby, and Concubine Jin's father couldn't look past it, so he took out the money to renovate the concubine garden and increase the tomb enlargement. ”
Wen Yiming walked down the hillside, pointed to the mausoleum in the distance and said, "But no one expected that only 13 years later, Concubine Jin's tomb was not spared." Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Near the mausoleum, the tomb is robbed. Over the years, many tomb robbers have been raised in this area of Yi County, and E Shichen and Guan Youren, who live in Huabei Village, are the leaders. ”
"The imperial tomb is very large, and the underground palace is strong, only two people can't do it, you have to form a gang. E Shichen and Guan Youren went on to look for personnel separately and found a few veteran tomb robbers. In the end, eight people were gathered and a tomb robbery gang was formed temporarily. ”
After discussion, the group decided to choose a cemetery that was not strictly guarded. In addition to the remoteness, there is another reason, Concubine Jin and Concubine Zhen were buried late, and the locals all remember the grand scene when they were buried, and it is estimated that there will be no less treasures buried inside. ”
As he spoke, Wen Yiming squatted down, picked up a branch on the ground, drew a strange ladder casually, and explained: "Who of you has ever seen a centipede ladder? When robbing the tomb, put the centipede ladder into the robbery hole, and people go down to it, and it is quite convenient to enter and exit the tomb. If one section of the ladder is not enough, another one can be added. ”
"On a dark and windy night, this group of tomb robbers carried a gun and a centipede ladder to the Chongling Concubine Garden to rob the tomb. It's a pity that the old man and the big yellow dog in the squad room were alarmed, and their actions were exposed. Without doing anything, Guan Youren rushed into the squad room and held the old man with a gun. ”
At that time, Li Jiguang held the old man with a gun and warned not to meddle in his affairs, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed. The old man did not dare to resist, and immediately handed over the key to the cemetery, and strangled his big yellow dog to death as required. ”
"After entering the cemetery, there were two roofs in the backyard, and they chose to dig the top on the east side. The owner of the tomb in the east is the last concubine to be buried, according to the funeral customs of the Qing Dynasty, the east is respected, and the status of Concubine Zhen is not as high as Concubine Jin's during her lifetime, so she can only be buried in the west, so Concubine Jin is buried in the east. ”
Guan Youren was armed with a gun and the other three were responsible for guarding the old man guarding the tomb, while E Shichen took Li Jiguang, Na Baoyu, and Su Zhensheng to dig and steal holes. ”
"The construction of the concubine's tomb is very exquisite, there is a rectangular platform on the top of the treasure, and directly below is the underground palace where the coffin is placed. There is a stone staircase on the south side of the platform that connects to the Shinto, and below the stone staircase is the stone gate to enter the underground palace. ”
Li Jiguang has rich experience in tomb robbing and is a local, so he knew this secret, so he asked his accomplices to dig from the front of the platform. Li Jiguang was bold, followed the centipede ladder, and was the first to drill into the underground palace of the black hole like a mouse. ”
Li Ji couldn't take a closer look around, jumped to the treasure bed in one step, pulled out a sharp axe and chopped it, and the sound of the wooden planks shattering shook a terrible echo in the empty underground palace. In a few clicks, a hole was punched in the coffin. He sawed the hole into a round hole that could penetrate into a person, and then he reached out and took the oil lamp and shone it into the coffin, so frightened that he screamed and almost knocked the oil lamp in his hand to the ground. ”
"Could it be that there are zombies?" Hei Feng's face changed greatly, and he suddenly felt the wind around him, and looked at Wen Yiming and said nervously: "There won't be ghosts, right?"
Wen Yiming laughed and continued: "It turns out that the body of Concubine Zhen in the coffin has not decomposed into dry bones, I saw that she was wearing a crown on her head, wearing court clothes, holding jade in her hand, hanging a brocade bag around her waist, and Ruyi by her side. The skin and flesh on the face are still there, and the facial features are vaguely recognizable, especially the half-closed and slightly open eyes, according to superstition, they were wronged and died, and they died without turning a blind eye. ”
Li Jiguang, a veteran tomb robber who is said to have seen all kinds of dead people, was also stupid at the time, but he didn't expect that the body of the tomb owner was not decomposed? ”
"The way the royal burial goods in the Qing Dynasty were placed was similar to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the good things were generally placed close to the corpse and placed in the coffin, which would be stuffed to the brim. When Cixi received the funeral, in order to fill the gap in the coffin, she poured four liters of jewelry into the coffin. Although there were not as many treasures as Cixi, the coffin could not be empty. ”
Li Jiguang grabbed and pulled at that time, gathered all the big and small things in front of him, took off the horse coat hanging on the waist of the corpse, and loaded all kinds of treasures into it. Tomb robbers are greedy for money, not greedy and not robbing tombs, and monopolizing treasures is one of the most common phenomena of accomplices. Just when he was loading, he also had a lot of thoughts, and deliberately leaked the valuable burial goods he liked, and hid them in the corner of the coffin, planning to take them privately in the future. ”
Hei Feng asked curiously, "Why don't you just hide it on your body?"
Liu Datong interjected with a smile: "Because you can't hide it on your body at all, even if you can hide it, you will be searched if you go up." The people who went down to collect the treasure were the key targets of the accomplices, and in order to avoid the theft of the treasure, the tomb robbers sometimes even had to go down naked. ”
Guan Youren saw that Li Jiguang hadn't come up in the underground palace for a long time, and he was worried that something would happen, so he urged him to come up. Li Jiguang saw the urging above, so he climbed up with the treasure and poured the treasure to the ground on the spot. It is also the unspoken rule in the partnership tomb robbery, Liangbao, how many treasures there are, what treasures there are, everyone can see it face to face, so as not to suspect each other. ”
After Li Jiguang poured out the treasures, he shocked the audience, one hundred and ten gold, silver and jade artifacts of all sizes were treasures. On the way back to share the spoils, Li Jiguang tucked a Jin Bian Fang, that is, Jin Ruyi, into his clothes, and pretended to have a stomachache, left a single order, and sent the treasure home. ”
"When Guan Youren was distributing the spoils, he felt that something was wrong, and went straight to Fenghuangtai Village with a gun, and pulled down Li Jiguang, who was drinking on the kang at home, and wanted to kill him. Li Jiguang is also very acquainted, and he knows that he can't rely on it, so he honestly handed over Jin Bianfang. ”
Originally, Guan Youren didn't want to share the spoils, he wanted to sell the treasure and buy some guns to do big things, but the others disagreed, so they had to divide the treasure into eight parts, and everyone used to draw lots and take one share each. In the end, Jin Ruyi was so valuable that he could only be cut into eight pieces, and the rare treasure was destroyed like this!"
"It's all bastards!" Hei Feng said indignantly: "What is the difference between these people and the Eight-Nation Alliance? They are foreign invaders, weak countries have no diplomacy, and the strong cannot complain about others for being kings." But these traitors are obviously their own people, and they are still strong treasures, damn them!"
