Chapter 22: The Garden of the Ancestors
Out of the police station, Tong Hua received a call from Tong Feng again.
What's going on again?
It's really an accident, it's a big deal!
In Maweipo, a kilometer away from Tong's house, a huge ancient twilight group was dug up.
This is a national key cultural relic, and no one can afford to hurt it!
Tong Hua immediately gave instructions on the phone to protect the scene. and reported to the director of the police station.
Ten minutes later, Tong Hua rushed to Maweipo. Director Tong led the police to arrive first and set up a cordon at the scene.
Tong Hua asked Tong Feng about the situation.
Tong Feng is the director of the construction project of the Maweipo Tea Garden. The boss of the project construction is Chen An, who is in his early forties and has dozens of workers under him, who travel all over the country to contract projects every year.
After Tong Feng gave a brief introduction to the situation, he revealed a secret to Tong Hua, that there were workers who privately hid the cultural relics excavated from the ancient tomb.
Tong Hua felt that the situation was serious, and told Tong Feng to contact Director Tong and control the on-site personnel to leave. Considering that the police at the police station had limited manpower and it was difficult to control the entire scene, she called Tong Huihui and Wenbi respectively and informed all the personnel of the manor to rush to Maweipo quickly.
The first to come were Wenbi, Tong Ting, Tong Statue, Ma Lanhua, Pastoral, Field, and Yuan Yatou, that is, the "Seven Fairies" of the ferry.
Subsequently, Tian Cannon also transferred the security guards of the B&B Park.
Immediately after that, Tong Huihui and three college students brought dozens of employees of the manor.
Liu An, the owner of the Maweipo Tea Plantation Project, and dozens of his workers have been secretly fenced off, and it is impossible to leave.
Liu An found that he and his workers had been controlled, and began to find ways to find a reason to leave. Helplessly, all reasons were rejected. In a word, no one can leave.
Director Tong began to do his work: "Comrades, there is a reason why we will not let everyone leave for the time being. I just got the news that someone has secretly hidden the artifacts excavated from the ancient tomb. This cultural relic belongs to the state, not to us, and it is illegal to possess it privately. So, no one should leave until the artifacts are found. ”
A policeman said sharply: "Please comrades who have hidden cultural relics to hand over the cultural relics immediately." ”
Another policeman said: "If no one has handed over the antiquities after 10 minutes, a search will be carried out on all persons at the scene in accordance with the law." ”
Time ticks and ticks. The arena became very quiet.
The people on the field began to react differently.
Among Liu An's workers, a worker wearing glasses suddenly fell to the ground. Then there was a shout: "Someone has fainted." "Quick, call an ambulance." "When can we leave?" ……
There was a moment of confusion on the field.
Director Tong walked up to the fainted worker with glasses, squatted down and checked his breathing first, and his breathing was normal. I checked my heartbeat again and it was normal.
Director Tong patted him: "Get up!" He then said to a policeman next to him: "According to legal procedures, he will be searched." ”
As soon as they heard about the search, one of the workers with glasses turned around and sat on the ground, and the other turned around and stood up. A cigarette holder fell from his body with a clang. This is a cultural relic, which is at least a few hundred years old.
A police officer tried to come forward and check it up. But he was first inspected by a tall, dark-faced worker who refused to hand it over to the police.
This is where the confrontation begins.
The tall worker quibbled: "Why do you say that this is a relic excavated from an ancient tomb?" Isn't it just a mouthpiece? I have it in my house. ”
The glasses worker was even more eloquent: "This is left by my grandfather, I carry it with me every day, I heard that you are going to search, I am worried that you will confiscate it as a cultural relic of the ancient tomb." ”
Several workers next to him scrambled to testify.
Unexpectedly, a curly-haired worker pulled out an object from his pocket and covered it with dirt. Obviously, this was just dug out of the earth, and it is certain to say that it is an ancient tomb artifact.
The curly-haired worker was very calm, calmly bent down to check it up, and deliberately showed it to everyone: "Do you know what this is?" The mud bodhisattva, my grandmother gave it to me, saying that carrying it on my body would bless me with peace and good luck. As he spoke, he put it in his pocket again.
Is it really a mud bodhisattva? What about liars! Anyone with a little bit of brains knows that it is an authentic ancient tomb artifact.
Tong Hua saw it in her eyes and in her heart, and reminded Tong Feng, Tong Huihui and Wenbi who were standing beside her, to pay attention to monitoring and prevent them from damaging cultural relics.
Tong Hua approached Director Tong again and asked him what to do?
Director Tong quietly told her that Secretary Li and the county public security special police were on their way.
Tong Hua walked up to Liu An again, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "Boss Liu, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Liu An followed Tonghua to a hundred-year-old camphor tree, looking at Tonghua with a very embarrassed expression.
Tong Hua said: "Boss Liu, you are an understanding person, how many ancient tomb relics did you say fell into the hands of your workers?" ”
Liu An looked at him blankly: "I really don't know." ”
Tong Hua said again: "You also saw the old antiques that fell from the two workers just now, do you think those two workers are telling the truth?" ”
Liu An thought about it and shook his head.
Tong Hua smiled: "That means that these two antiques are ancient tomb relics." ”
Liu An answered: "In my opinion, it should be!" ”
"I guess there are a lot of artifacts hidden on the workers."
"I have this hunch, but I can't handle it because I still have to rely on them to be the boss."
"I understand."
"What are you going to do? Search as soon as possible, and if they have an emotional breakdown, it will be difficult for you to control the situation. ”
Before he finished speaking, Liu An's workers made a big noise.
"What do you mean? Surrounded by us and not let go. ”
"We didn't take the ancient tomb relics, and to suspect us is to insult us."
At this time, a person rushed out of the crowd and shouted: "Who insulted you, hand over all the old antiques on your body, and identify them to see if they were used by your ancestors or the old ghosts in this ancient tomb?" ”
This person is Tian Dacang, and it seems that he is going to uphold justice.
The curly-haired workers also rushed out of the crowd, and the cannon roared at Okita: "You can hand it over, what kind of goods are you." ”
Tian Cannon pointed his finger at him and said, "I'm not a cannon, I'm a cannon, a cannon like you." ”
The field erupted in laughter.
The curly-haired worker seemed enraged, picking up a piece of mud and throwing it at the cannon. It is not biased and not oblique, and it is smashed right in the crotch of the cannon.
"You're hurting my life?"
Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, thinking that Tian Dacang would be furious, and even took the life of the curly-haired worker. However, unexpectedly, he was unusually calm.
Tong Feng hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed his hand, fearing that he would clash with the workers.
Tian Dacang laughed, pointed at the curly-haired worker and said, "I won't do anything to you, but I have a request, you give me your mud bodhisattva to make an appraisal, otherwise I will hit your life with mud." ”
The curly-haired workers are clearly not going to say yes.
So, Tian Cannon picked up a piece of mud and shook it in his hand, but he didn't have the idea of throwing it out.
Dozens of workers under Liu An rushed towards the Tian cannon.
This is where the conflict arises.
Director Tong and several police officers stopped it in time, but they couldn't stop it.
As a last resort, Director Tong pulled out his gun and fired three shots into the sky.
The conflict stopped.
At this moment, Secretary Li and the special police officers arrived, and the scene was surrounded.
Tian Cannon, because of the impact of dozens of workers, never fought back, and there were many injuries on his body, but the injuries were not serious, only flesh and skin.
Secretary Li called Tong Hua and Director Tong aside for questioning.
Tong Hua reported the discovery of the ancient tombs and a large number of cultural relics to Secretary Li.
Secretary Li was very excited and praised this as a major discovery of the century.
Director Tong reported to Secretary Li that the workers might encroach on the cultural relics of the ancient tomb.
Secretary Li asked him if he had any evidence?
Director Tong introduced the cigarette holder and the mud bodhisattva.
Secretary Li instructed to find all the ancient tomb relics and ensure that there are many of them.
Then, he delivered an important speech to the audience, on the one hand, he emphasized the protection of the ancient tomb cultural relics, saying that the cultural relics are an important heritage of the country, and to protect it, the upper is worthy of the ancestors, the lower is worthy of the descendants, and whoever destroys it is a sinner of history; On the other hand, those who have ancient tomb relics in their hands are required to consciously and voluntarily hand them over to the state, and those who possess them privately seem to be guilty of theft, and they must bear legal responsibility.
From the very beginning, Liu An turned a blind eye to the words and deeds of his workers, and stood by and turned a deaf ear. But after listening to Secretary Li's words, he felt the seriousness of the matter and had to show his attitude.
He climbed up a small mound and said to his workers in a condescending manner: "Brothers, Secretary Li is right, cultural relics belong to the state, and it is illegal to illegally occupy them. Everyone comes to the ferry slope to make money, but what kind of money to make, everyone must be clear in their hearts. We make money when it's clean and safe. We must not steal national cultural relics and sell them, because this kind of money that humiliates our ancestors is absolutely unacceptable. Brothers, listen to me, return the cultural relics to the country, and be a clean, white and immaculate builder of the ferry slope. ”
As soon as the voice fell, the bespectacled worker was the first to respond: "I will return it." ”
With a look of guilt on his face, he handed over the mud bodhisattva he had just shown to everyone to the police who had handed over the relics.
Immediately afterwards, the worker who pretended to faint handed in the cigarette holder.
The next shot is even more exciting. One by one, the workers changed the hidden cultural relics like a trick and lined up to hand them in.
The ancient tomb relics were returned to Zhao.
Later, the ruins of the Maweipo ancient tomb group were planned and built as a historical site tourist attraction - the Ferry Slope Ancestral Garden.
