Chapter 248: Poor Princes
Wen Yiming nodded in agreement, in the future, he will look for treasures everywhere, and any treasures may be found, and he can still handle the antiques himself, as for other treasures, he really needs to have a professional to identify them.
Treasure hunting is afraid of taking the treasure, can't find the treasure is counted, in case you find it, you don't know the fault of Mount Tai, that is heartwarming!
"By the way, what did you say about the Jingbao meeting last time?" Wen Yiming remembered something and asked, "Are we qualified to participate?"
"As long as you are a B-level member and have a thousand contribution points in your hand, you are eligible to participate. Liu Datong said with a smile: "I just heard before, I am not eligible to participate, the treasure competition is held every three months, and it is the largest auction of the treasure hunting meeting." ”
"I heard that there are all kinds of treasures in it, natural treasures, exotic flowers and plants, feng shui magic weapons, and even all kinds of secret news, in short, as long as there is value, some people dare to ask for it. ”
"It's usually traded with contribution points, but the real treasure still has to be bartered, and it will be held in a month and last for two days, so you must not miss it. ”
Wen Yiming nodded, this kind of event must be attended, and it is good to have a long experience. Let Liu Datong contact Bai Xiaosheng and go tomorrow to identify the unknown treasure in his hand.
The next day, when I came to the headquarters, I saw the legendary Bai Xiaosheng, a man in his early sixties, triangular eyes, hooked nose, goatee, and a shrewd face.
"Well, the night pearl is good, it is considered a medium grade, the top grade can detoxify a hundred poisons, protect the corpse from decay, count your ten contribution points. ”
"As for this hide, fifty points!"
Liu Datong was surprised after hearing this: "Fifty points?
"You know a fart!" Bai Xiaosheng glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Whoever comes to me for identification, I wish the more expensive the better! If it weren't for the fact that you are newcomers, make a discount, at least eighty points, and get out if you don't have any money, don't waste my time." ”
Wen Yiming waved his hand, signaled Liu Datong to be calm and calm, and said with a smile: "Of course, since I came to you to find you, I must believe in Bai Xiaosheng's fiery eyes." ”
"Is this good? I have a little experience in treasure hunting, I can often find strange things, and it is indispensable to trouble you to be old, how about our long-term cooperation?"
"Well, listen to what you kid is talking about!" Bai Xiaosheng touched his goatee and said with satisfaction: "One stroke counts, empty white teeth are useless, if you can come often, there will naturally be a discount, pay the money first." ”
"What a profiteer!" Liu Datong snorted coldly, there was no choice but to hand over the contribution points. Bai Xiaosheng smiled and took the animal skin, studied it for a long time, and said: "It must be the ancient Danfang, it should be the Ge sect, these are all passwords, and each symbol represents a different meaning." To prevent outsiders from prying eyes, only this door can understand the meaning. ”
After speaking, he looked at Wen Yiming, and said with some envy: "Your kid is lucky, Danfang is a good thing, and there is a chance to trade to the people in Danmen, they are rich people, remember to slaughter a good sum!"
Wen Yiming smiled and said nothing, put away the animal skin, and left the treasure hunting meeting, lucky, just use it to participate in the treasure competition, throw bricks and jade, and see if there are people who know the goods.
In the afternoon, we will continue to set off to hunt for treasures, and turn around the capital, the goal is to be the Qing Dynasty as a prestige and a blessing, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the princes!
"In the troubled times of the Republic of China, in the name of raising spirits, almost all the large and small princes' graves around the capital were dug up. Usually digging other people's ancestral graves, occasionally also digging their own ancestral graves, relatively rare.
"During the war, digging ancestral graves almost became a popular fashion, and the protagonists of the most special tomb robbery activities were the descendants of the fallen Qing Dynasty princes, a large number of princes' tombs with great cultural relics value, let them dig. ”
Wen Yiming took everyone to drive around, letting Jinbao hunt for treasures in the barren mountains and mountains, this time there was basically no specific goal, just to try his luck.
"In the Qing Dynasty, including those who were posthumously sealed, dismissed, and added, there were more than 240 princes in 268 years. After the death of these princes, almost all of them were buried in the suburbs, counties and townships, and the yin houses were in pieces, forming a unique tomb culture of the princes of the Qing Dynasty. ”
On the road, Heihu drove, and he and Heifeng sat in a comfortable car, idle, idle, and popularizing some knowledge to beauties is also a kind of pretense.
"There are many sayings about the tomb of the prince, commonly known as the garden. The words "tomb", "tomb" and "burial" are all murderous words, and the consideration of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, avoiding these words, is generally not called "tomb" in those years, and the name of the yang house is often applied. ”
"Or call it a house, such as the old house and the new house on the cemetery of the Zheng family in Baishiqiao in the western suburbs; or call it a house, such as the Jinshan in the north of Yuquan Mountain to the west to the mountain Zhaikou There are 72 mansions and a slippery side mountain mansion."
Or call it the palace, located in the east palace and west palace on the cemetery of the blue flag king in front of the immortal cave in the Ming Ming Tombs; some even call it the yamen, on the cemetery of the eight princes of the former Jianguomen, there are two big tombs in the east and west, it is called the east yamen, the west yamen. ”
Wen Yiming shook the red wine glass elegantly, tasted Lafite, and said with a smile: "The descendants of the princes of the Republic of China dig the ancestral graves, and there is a very good excuse to raise the spirit." The so-called resurrection is one of the customs of secondary burial in the past, where coffins or bones are dug out of old graves and buried elsewhere. ”
"The reason is that either the descendants emigrate, and they want to move away with their ancestors, so as to have peace of mind. Either the original burial place is not good, please find a good feng shui place to bury again, and try to be auspicious. The descendants of the prince have raised their ancestral graves, and the main motive is to seek wealth. ”
"What? That is, digging the graves of your own ancestors?"
Hei Feng was stunned after hearing this, and said incredulously: "Are they crazy? Even the graves of their grandparents, parents, and parents have to be dug up?"
"Then what can be done! When the Qing Dynasty has not fallen, the descendants of the prince are full of majesty. After the revolution, these people lost their position, and they were forced to live under pressure to live, so they simply pedaled tricycles. ”
Wen Yiming pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "For example, the extremely favored Empress Dowager Cixi's mother's family, the Keqin County King family, the last generation of the county king Yansen, couldn't live his life, so he had to go to be a rickshaw driver, and was nicknamed the King of Cars, and even the ancestral tomb in Feng Village, Mentougou, was also nicknamed the Tomb of the King of Cars, which has been stinking for thousands of years." ”
"It's not bad that the descendants of a prince like Yan Sen can support themselves. But after most of them sold out their ancestral property, they began to sell their ancestral graves: first they sold the grave trees, then the land, and finally they started to dig up the burial goods and exchange them for money. ”
"The most famous is that in 1931, the theft of the tomb of the former Prince Qingrui caused a sensation in the capital. This tomb robbery case is a spiritual activity carried out by Prince Rui's descendants. Do you know who Prince Rui is?"
Looking at Hei Feng's confused expression, Wen Yiming reported the name of the famous person, it was actually Dolgon!
"There is also the famous descendant of King Zheng, after several tomb robberies, he simply left nothing, and the last time he got up, the blue and white jar of ashes was sold directly to the cultural relics department, and the ancestral ashes were sold!"
"This time, our target is Prince Heng, the fifth son of Emperor Kangxi, who will be unable to make ends meet, so he will first sell the pine and cypress trees on the cemetery to the wood factory, and sell the dragon stele to the merchants of the island country. In the end, I really couldn't get by, so I simply got up and was responsible for the on-site excavation by the steward of the public mansion. ”
"Everyone knows that it is a tomb robbery, so they can't hide it. In order to prevent accidents, when the descendants were digging the ancestral graves, they asked the county magistrate at that time to arrange for the guards to be on guard. Sure enough, when the rich burial treasures were dug up, the county magistrate first took forty percent, mainly jewelry, and the descendants only got sixty percent. In fact, he didn't get the sixty percent completely, but he got thirty percent, and the steward and his subordinates took thirty percent of it. ”
Speaking of this, Wen Yiming shook his head, and said helplessly: "In fact, some people can't complain about the descendants of the prince, such as the fourth son of Qianlong, the queen of the county, digging the ancestral grave, which was forced by the power of the local tomb robber Hou Xianwen, and had to do it. ”
"Rather than let someone else steal it, you should dig it yourself! At that time, tomb robbers were so pervasive that they couldn't look at the grave at all. There are also thieves and bandits, there is no distinction between thieves and bandits, they all have guns and weapons, and whoever prevents them from robbing tombs and making a fortune, killing people and kidnapping these life-threatening things, can do it all. ”
Everyone came to the nearby mountain, drove around, Jinbao's sense became stronger and stronger, flying in the air, suddenly seemed to have a discovery, and went straight to the northeast.
