Chapter 55: Catching the tomb robber

The Siheyuan mentioned by Yan is in the old ancient city village in Shijingshan District. [Bao! Book] This is an ancient building complex with a history of 2019. It is also the last natural village on the western front of Chang'an Street in Taipei City. As soon as the Alto car drove to the entrance of the village, it stopped. Yan said to Tang Feng: "There is no choice. I can only change Line 11."

Tang Feng opened the car door and walked down. He said to Chen Yan, the other car: "You can't even drive in this car. I guess only a bulldozer can drive in."

Walking into this village surrounded by layers of the city, the white "demolition" characters were covered with red circles in sight. The residents had moved away. Tang Feng looked at the excavation marks everywhere around him and asked Chen Yan: "Have you dug around your yard?" Chen Yan said with a smile: "Don't say you have dug it. The electronic detection instruments have been used. There is nothing underneath."

"Haha. You're pretty good?" Tang Feng teased Chen Yan. The trend of collection swept across China. Generally, people living in old houses will use their own homesteads to see if there are any Qin bricks and Han tiles left by their ancestors.

Chen Yan looked back and said, "The old house is different from the building. It has good feng shui and is full of energy. The ancestors have lived there for generations. Maybe that generation of ancestors have developed. On a whim, they buried some jars and jars. If they were not careful, they would shelter me, as their descendants."

In the prosperous era, people no longer play with antiques, but antiques. They all have the same thoughts as Chen Yan. When they arrived at the Siheyuan where the owner who was lucky enough to dig out the jars and jars, they walked into the yard. The scene was like a vegetable market, which was not as lively as a vegetable market. More than a dozen people stood in the yard and whispered. Chen Yan identified the water quality not very good. He knew the people in the industry. Several people came to say hello to him. They said they were lucky and said they had been long-term. They were so familiar. In fact, they didn't know each other for a few days.

Tang Feng saw an acquaintance in the crowd. It was his "old friend" Jia Dewang, who stepped forward and greeted, "Yo, Boss Jia. Long time no see."

As soon as Jia Dewang saw Tang, he immediately asked him: "How did the Yuan blue and white incense burner last time?" It seems that he has been so troubled by this matter that he has to ask clearly when he meets him.

Feng could not tell him the truth at this time. Otherwise, the old comrade who was promiscuous would not have a stable sleep to sleep in his lifetime. He shook his head and said, "Oh, the geese were pecked by the geese all day long. It was proved that Naxi was fake afterwards." "Oh." Although Jadewang doubted his belief, he finally felt a little better. He said, "Look, I sold it to others for loss, otherwise you would not only miss it but also pay."

"That's it." Tang's words were quite ironic. He said, "Thank you for your lack of faith."

"Tang Feng!" Tang Feng and Jia Dewang were talking. He heard a greeting from behind him. He looked back and saw that it was Liu Yue. I don't know what. Tang Feng felt comfortable when he saw Liu Yue. Our lives were always full of regrets. The pressure of reality that cannot be combined with fish and palms was the best of both worlds and finally became the mirror flower of the water moon, but this cannot erase the feeling in his heart or even throbbing. Infidelity is always a behavior that deviates from morality, but isn't it a manifestation of loyalty to oneself. For Tang Feng, whose traditional thinking has suppressed his inner emotions, he lacks some courage. But no matter what, they are always moving slowly on a dangerous road.

Tang Feng walked to Liu Yue's body with a smile and said, "Liu Yue. Good to meet him."

Liu Yue is still so pretty and lovely. There is no sign of being haggard and thinner in the soap opera. She smiled and shook, saying, "Don't you want to see me, don't even call me?"

Tang Feng said apologetically: "I'm sorry. I'm busy lately. I really don't have much time." It's better not to start some things. Once you start, you can't stop and you can never go back.

"You don't have to say sorry." Liu Yue admitted that I understood. I think this kind of Tang Feng is the real wind and the cutest Tang Feng." It was the girl of the new era. What Liu Yue said was implicit and explicit.

At this time, Chen Yan came over and said to Liu Yue: "Miss Liu, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"Yes. Hello." Liu Yue stretched out his hand to Chen Yan. The two were shaking hands. Tang Feng began to observe this courtyard. The courtyard in Beijing is the main architectural form for traditional Beijingers to live for generations. The so-called courtyard is an inner courtyard-style residence formed by houses on the east, west, south and north. This courtyard is no different from the traditional courtyard. It is just that the face of demolition has been completely different. Everyone is their own people. Tang Feng is not afraid of Liu Yue's presence. He asked Chen Yan: "What's the way to do things here?"

"As soon as the news came out the day before yesterday, many people came to see it. The household owner thought it was troublesome and set the time." Chen Yan took out his cell phone and looked at the time. He said, "It's almost here."

Tang Feng asked Liu Yue: "Yue. What identity did you come here?"

Liu Yue smiled and said, "You asked so directly. Of course, I came from my personal capacity."

Chen Yan looked around and asked Liu Yue, "Did you come here alone?"

Liu Yue said: "It's broad daylight. What about the individual?"

Tang Feng was a little strange. He asked Chen Yan: "There should be a lot of people who have been here, right? Why didn't anyone buy it? Huh. Why did I find that there seems to be any articles here?"

Liu Yue nodded and said, "I'm wondering about this. This is not very reasonable."

"What's so strange about this?" Chen Yan said: "The price cannot be negotiated. The household owner himself doesn't know how to set the price. He is unwilling to invite experts to come and see it. If something goes wrong, the thing should change its surname. I guess he is waiting for the price and touching the market. He doesn't plan to take action so quickly. Besides, with you two, can you still misunderstand?"

"Everyone, everyone." A middle-aged man in his forties, with a big and round waist walked to the middle of the yard. He opened his throat and said loudly: "Sorry, Fang Xiao at home has neglected you."

"Don't talk about those useless things," said a man in the yard who came to see the porcelain: "It's not a visit to your relatives and friends. I'll talk about it after seeing the things."

"That's it." Another person echoed: "Well. Don't make any opening remarks. Come and be quick."

The head of the household laughed and said, "Okay. The thing is in the pit under the corner of the main hall. Brothers went in in batches to the palm of their hands." The owner said, and everyone stopped refusing. The people closest to the main hall were the first to enter the main hall.

Tang Feng picked up a piece of broken tiles and digged a small hole. Then he stretched out his finger and dipped a little new soil and put it on his nose to smell it. Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng's strange behavior and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Liu Yue was a field archaeology. She replied for Tang Feng: "He is taking soil samples.

""Liu Yue has a common language." After hearing this, Tang Feng smiled at Liu Yue. He changed his place to take the earth and smell it. After smelling the earth samples of the three places, Tang Feng clapped his hands and finished.

"Tang Feng. Can you come here? I have something to tell you." Liu Yue walked to the side alone and asked Tang Feng to come over.

Chen Yan looked at Tang Feng and said softly: "Don't worry, my brother keeps it confidential for you."

"I want to thank you for saying this?" Tang pushed Chen Yan angrily and said, "It's not as dirty as you thought."

Tang Feng walked to Liu Yue and asked, "Liu Yue, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Yue looked at Tang Feng without blinking and asked him back: "Tang Feng. Do you believe me?"

Tang Feng nodded and said, "Of course I believe you."

"That's good." Liu Yuejiao smiled and pulled Tang Feng's sleeve. She said, "You must agree to me before asking questions."

"What's the matter? It's so serious?" Tang Feng just said, "You just ask."

"You are so boring." Liu Yuegu said angrily: "I have never asked you for help?"

Tang Feng could not have thought that Liu Ju used tricks only girls. In fact, he always felt sorry for Liu Yue. After all, Liu Yue helped him a lot and said without thinking, "Well, I promise you." Tang Cai finished speaking, his heart began to regret. What if Liu Yue asked him if he liked her or not, how could he answer her?

Men are prone to think of Tang Feng’s worries in a wrong way. Liu Yue said: “If you want to treat me as a friend, you have to hide the questions I ask you.”

The words have been said. It is impossible to take them back. Tang Feng said simply: "Don't hide it. OK. Ask it quickly. You should ask something like this. Don't ask questions next time." "Then I will ask." Liu Yue said seriously: "Who did you use to identify the antiques?"

, Feng Shun said: "Grandpa."

"Did your grandfather do it before?" Liu Yue seemed to have discovered Tang Feng's secret. Archaeology and tomb robbery were of the same clan and ancestor. It was difficult for Feng to hide it from Liu Yue.

Tang Fengyi saw what Liu Yue was thinking. This problem was a bit serious. Tang Feng's grandfather once warned him that the matter of his birth to a tomb robber family cannot be revealed to anyone. For this reason, the grandparents and grandchildren have long been accurate. Because of the involvement of family secrets, Tang Feng refused to break his promise. He finally decided to deceive Liu Yueyi and said, "He used to work in a museum."

Liu Yue stared at Tang Feng's eyes, but she didn't notice that Tang Feng had any intention of dodging. Both sides looked at each other. The first thing I'm sorry is Liu Yue. Sometimes, the man's eyes are also very lethal. Liu Yue said: "How do I think your identification skills are related to the tomb?"

Tang Feng said: "Anti-designed antiques are originally the same discipline. Using tomb-robbing techniques to identify antiques is not an exception for me."

Liu Yue nodded and said, "Anyway, I feel this way. Actually, I am participating in an important archaeological excavation recently. Do you want to know?"

Tang, who was born in a tomb robber family, was very interested in archaeological excavation. He said, "Let me tell me. Is it an ancient tomb?"

Liu Yue nodded and said, "Yes. And it's the newly discovered imperial tomb."

"The newly discovered imperial tomb? Tang Feng said: "It's new." Most of the ancient Chinese imperial tombs are well-founded. One carrot and one pit. The new imperial tombs is very difficult. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient times have been between myths and reality. The location of their tombs has always been controversial. There is no conclusion yet. Since the historical situation of the Xia Dynasty has not yet been fully proved by archaeological excavations, most of the royal tombs of the Xia Dynasty cannot be verified. The preliminary judgment is that it is in Henan. By the Yin and Shang dynasties, there are already exact words.

The recorded history. The tombs of emperors in the late Shang Dynasty have been discovered in Yinxu, Anyang, Henan, etc. Due to the diversion of the Yellow River, most of the royal tombs in the early Shang Dynasty have sank to the bottom of the Yellow River and cannot be excavated. In the following two weeks and subsequent Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern, Northern and Southern Dynasties, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, etc., except for the Yuan Dynasty, which was difficult to verify due to different funeral customs, most of the imperial tombs are well-documented. These include the famous tomb of Wu Zetian, the tomb of Qin Shihuang, etc. The imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty headed by Genghis Khan, have always been widely circulated in history.

What Liu Yue said was the imperial tomb rather than the royal tomb. The difference in this word alone excluded all the tombs of the emperors before Qin Shihuang. Because Qin Shihuang's first emperor in Chinese history, there was no such thing as an emperor before.

The imperial tomb that Tang Fengju and the others were digging was most likely the imperial tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.

The answer given by Liu Yue confused Tang Feng. She said: "It is the imperial tomb of Emperor Huizong of Song."

Tang Feng immediately asked, "How is that possible?"

The imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty were divided into two northern and southern Northern Song Dynasty imperial tombs in Gongyi City, Henan Province. Among the nine emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, except for the Jin soldiers and Qinzong, who were captured by Jin soldiers, died in the north and outside the Five Kingdoms City. The other seven emperors and Zhao Yin's father Zhao Hongyin were buried here, so they were called "Seven Emperors and Eight Tombs". The imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty were buried here. Six emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty were buried here, so they were called the Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. Historical records show that after Song Huizong died, he was cremated according to national customs. I don't know what the emperor of the Jin Dynasty thought at that time. When the cremation was halfway through, he was beaten to put out the fire and finally changed to burial. Alas. This foolish monarch with a good artistic style was really pitiful. It would be fine if he was humiliated. After his death, he was beaten to the fire and poured water and sticks to make trouble before he was buried.

Art is actually a scumbag!

In order to ease the relationship between the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty returned the coffin of Concubine Wei Xian, the biological mother of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong, to the Southern Song Dynasty. Therefore, Song Huizong was buried in the Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty have been devastatingly excavated many times in history. In the 128 years of the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, 101 ancient tombs were excavated in the Six Tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty. The bones of the emperor and empress, the royal relatives and more than a hundred court ministers were randomly thrown into the wilderness. What's even more ridiculous is that Yang Zhenjia, a Western Region monk who was appointed as the "President of the Jiangnan Buddhist Studies" by the ancestor Kublai Khan at that time, did not even let the death go. The body of Song Lizong Zhao was dug out of the Yongmu Tomb and hung upside down on the tree for three days and three nights. This Buddhist saint may be the product of the marriage of close relatives. He even cut off the skull of Lizong Zhao and made it into daily life tools. He used it every day to drink and have fun.

The cycle of reincarnation in heaven is unhappy. When Song Taizu Zhao Yin seized the position of the people, he relied on the power of the military and emphasized culture and neglected military personnel. Did he think that this debt must be repaid with blood and tears for future generations.

If Liu Yue and the others were going to excavate the tomb of Song Huizong, it would definitely have no archaeological value. Tang Feng immediately asked her: "What is the tomb of Song Huizong you are going to excavate?"

Liu Yue smiled and said, "You may not believe it. The tomb of Song Huizong we discovered is near the Northern Song Dynasty Mausoleum in Gongyi City, Henan Province."

"You are right." Tang Feng shook his head and smiled, "I really don't believe it." Tang Feng knew history very well. The Jin Dynasty sent it back and the Southern Song Dynasty. These were clearly recorded in classics by predecessors and verified by later generations.

Liu Yue said: "Tang Feng. It's not that Liu Yue doesn't believe you. It's not that I don't want to reveal many things to you. This needs to be kept confidential. I can only tell you three points now. The first point is that Song Huizong's tomb is the largest Song Dynasty emperor; the second point is that Song Huizong started to build it before his death against his ancestors. There are many rare treasures hidden in it. But he was not lucky to survive later; the third point is that the person who designed and built this tomb is Li Jie."

Tang Feng immediately understood the name Li. If tomb robbers are all masters of thieves, then Li Jie is a master of anti-thefts. The thieves in the Tang family are very long. If you really want to talk about who the ancestor is, it must be Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms period. He set up the title of the officer of the Touching Jin Certificate.

It is a soldier who specializes in excavating graves and stealing property to serve military pay. This is called as the current statement. The lieutenant of the Touching Crown is the director of the National Tomb Raider Office. Some of the ancestors of the Tang family held this position. This job is out of control. The glorious and great profession has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been more than 1,800 years since the grandfather of Tang Feng. Judging from the records of the ancestors of the Tang family for many years, the buildings designed and constructed by Li Jie are the most difficult to break through. Liu Yue and the others must have encountered trouble.

The ancestor of the carpenter was Lu Ban, the ancestor of the tomb robber was Cao Cao, and the ancestor of the architect was Li. Li Jie was the most outstanding architect in ancient China. The architectural masterpiece "Creation of the Face" he compiled was an architectural design and construction specification book officially issued by the Northern Song Dynasty. It is also the most complete book of ancient China's architectural technology. Li's work has epoch-making significance in the history of Chinese architecture. It has had a profound impact on the exhibition of later architectural technology.

The tomb designed and built by such a master-level architect must be extraordinary. Tang Feng began to be interested in this matter. He suddenly stepped forward and asked Liu Yue, "Liu Yue. You let me know half of it, but you don't tell my other half. Is this intentional?"

Liu Yue smiled slightly. She said to the other side and said, "The tomb of Song Huizong is solid. We have tried all methods except using explosives. We just can't open the tomb door. What surprised all experts was that a thief hole was found on the most solid side of our tomb. These tomb robbers are so hateful."

Tang Feng touched his head and his interest was greatly reduced. Of course he knew what the robbery hole meant, and he said to Liu Yue: "Nine out of ten tombs have robbers. Since they have been visited by tomb robbers, there will definitely be no treasures left. You should explode them directly."

Liu Yue said seriously: "The more archaeological value the tomb is, the stupidest to explode. And we can be sure that the tomb thieves did not take away anything inside because it was a fire tomb."

If the Huo Tomb is, it means that the things inside are definitely not stolen. Tang Feng immediately became interested again. People are a very strange animal tomb thieves are most afraid of the Huo Tomb. But Tang Feng is just interested.

Huo Tomb is also known as Fuhuo. In the notes "Youyang Miscellaneous Corpse" compiled by Tang Dynasty novelist Duan Chengshi quoted an original text from "Han Jiuyi" written by Wei Hong of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It will be the inner and outer sands of the Yingling Mountains. The houses and the crossings of Moye. Set up a fire bow and arrows and sands.

'The rough meaning of ' is that in addition to using suspicious tombs or burying sand and soil to cover people's eyes, the tombs will also use stones and iron to enhance the solidity of the ancient tombs. These are external anti-theft techniques. The ancient tombs will also use crossbow poisonous smoke, fire bows, arrows, or water and quicksand to kill tomb robbers who sneak into the ancient tombs. Of course, the Tang family, which has been to tomb robbers for generations, have accumulated a complete set of responses. Facts have proved that there is only one way to completely eliminate tomb robbers. That is, simple burial. If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves. No matter whose tomb is, how complicated the mechanism is. Once you are thought of by generations of tomb robbers, you will be broken through it.

Liu Yue said seriously: "Master said that if you want to open the tomb safely without destroying the tomb door, it is best to be an experienced tomb robber. But now in this year, tomb robbers have changed their antiques and fakes. Where can I find an experienced tomb robber? Of course, if someone was born in a tomb robber family, it would be different. Although I don't robbers now, my family experience is still there. Archaeology is a legal tomb robber." Before I knew it, the tomb robbers in Liu Yue's mouth became a tomb robber. The difference in this word is meaningful.

Tang Feng's idea is a bit complicated. If he can participate in this archaeology, it will be a matter of glorifying the ancestors. The ancestors are here. I, Tang Feng, have given you a face. The country invites me to rob the tomb. But this is also very dangerous. If you don't pay attention, you can't even save your life. The most critical problem is that even if you successfully rob the tomb, you will find a rare treasure. It belongs to the country, not Tang Feng. He has no voluntary awareness of labor. And that's one thing. Tang Feng dares not make decisions without authorization. If there is a shortage of three or three, who will support his grandfather to see him off? After thinking about it, Tang Feng made a decision. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, go and ask their old man first. He sighed and said, "Oh, I was very interested. I was not born in a tomb robber family. I had to give up.

”

"Oh." Liu Yue also sighed and said, "Then there is nothing to do." Liu Yue firmly believed in her judgment. Tang Feng must have a close connection with tomb robbers. She was suspicious when Tang Feng was purchasing Changhua bloodstone.

"Hey! I'll tell you two. What whispers can't be finished? The two of them are so close?" Chen Yan said to the two loudly, "I went in and saw something."

After hearing this, Liu Yue and Tang Feng walked to Chen Yan's side together. Chen Yan teased them and said, "Why are you two old? Why did something happen to you two?"

"Hmph." Liu Yue raised her head obediently and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Does he have the courage?"

Tang Feng glanced at Liu Yue and said, "It is best not to compete with men for courage."

"Hey, women" were all called out." Chen Yan said with a smile: "There is indeed a big problem for both of us." This guy is just a person who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

"Stop kidding." Tang Feng changed the subject and said, "Let's go in and take a look."
To be continued...
