Chapter 216
The original BJ was now called Peking. Although the new official wanted to ensure that the market would not be closed due to lack of goods, the market was still very short of food.
Before the war in people's imagination came, it was reported that the Dongling Underground Palace of the Qing Royal Cemetery had been dug up, and the whole country was in an uproar. Some cultural and mass groups, as well as the Qing royal family, including the last emperor who now lives in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, etc.
People complained to Jiang and demanded severe punishment.
There are various versions of the story circulating in Peiping city.
Even in the government offices at all levels in Peiping, there are various versions saying that it is the same.
Several officials from Wang Wenwu's department also gathered together, talking about the news they had heard from nowhere. After the incident broke out, representatives of the Qing bereaved family rushed to Dongling to deal with the aftermath. The tragedy of the cemetery also gradually leaked out.
Cixi's body was lying on the broken coffin lid. Her long hair was scattered and not messy, and the red braid was still there. When her body was turned over, it was found that her body was covered with white hair, and there were broken marks at the corners of her mouth.
The situation in the underground palace of Qianlong's Yuling Mausoleum is a hundred times more miserable than that of the Western Empress Dowager's Mausoleum: Entering the underground palace with a lantern, you can see several sections of bones floating in the muddy water. Those who searched again found 4 heads, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong, two empresses, and three imperial concubines were buried in the Yuling Underground Palace. Because it lasted a hundred years and suffered such a catastrophe, only scattered skeletons were left in front of the collectors. When people cleaned up the remains, at first only
Found 4 heads.
During the recollection, only 4 skulls were found, and the corpses were all broken into pieces. There was a coffin under the stone door, and a skull was found from it. The bones were relatively large and it was judged to be the skull of Qianlong.
After the skull of Qianlong was found, there was still one missing skull. Even after searching the coffin, there was no trace. People speculated that the tomb robbers might have taken it out of the underground palace.
Just when people were about to give up searching, something surprising happened. A complete female corpse emerged from the deep water in the northwest corner of the underground palace. Her face was astonishingly lifelike. According to inference, this female corpse should be that of Empress Xiaoyi.
.
Imperial Concubine Lingyi was the biological mother of Emperor Jiaqing and was posthumously named Empress Xiaoyi.
The Empress Xiaoyi died before Qianlong and lived in the same underground palace. Why is her body the only one that remains so intact? The bereaved families of the Later Qing Dynasty were puzzled. The bereaved families of the Later Qing Dynasty were still puzzled by this question, and yet another question made them wonder.
Difficulty: How to distinguish the identities of the scattered bones? After discussing for several days, we finally decided to bury them together in one coffin. This was the only special case since the Qing Dynasty in which emperors, concubines and concubines were buried together in the same coffin.
But what interests everyone is that there are so many good things coming out of the Qingling Mausoleum. The leader, Marshal Sun, is not someone like Wang Wenwu who can spy on him. He can only stare at the other small officers who are going together.
Wang Wenwu has been wandering around the entrances of major pawnshops with his Belarusian guards for a long time, hoping to catch someone who comes to the pawnshop to cash out. However, there are many others who have the same idea as Wang Wenwu. After several encounters, the ones who are willing to show up after the pawnshop are willing to show up.
I asked for the contact information. It needs to be quite a lot because General Sun has caused too much trouble and there are many parties in Qingling now. Otherwise, Wang Wenwu would even want to make a trip.
Fortunately, in August, Wang Wenwu not only collected a lot of things from others, but also picked out several soldiers under General Sun from the refugees. No matter what, the soldiers and the refugees didn't even think about it, so they just
I had just become a deserter, and I planned to go to the city to cash out everything I had, and then go back to the countryside to sell a few acres of land so I could find a wife.
….
Although it was unpleasant when they first met, they were more willing to sit down and talk business after knowing that Wang Wenwu would not forcefully grab them. The soldiers were also many fools, and they knew that many people were staring at them. Since the man in front of them
If you are willing to pay, who is not selling?
A few soldiers pushed out a leader, and the rest were still hiding behind the wall. The group of people on the opposite side were not easy to mess with. They even had machine guns. I don’t know if this thin wall could block the machine guns. If it weren’t for those White Russians
It's so eye-catching that someone might make dumplings out of you.
Wang Wenwu looked at his White Russian guards. They usually saved him a lot of trouble, but this kind of secret operation in private was so eye-catching. There were large armies gathering in the Beijing and Tianjin areas, and the sound of gunshots in the city would inevitably trigger an attack by the army.
Alert, the Belarusian guards under him are eye-catching, since they are quiet
If we can't solve it, we have to pay, and we don't know how big the appetite is.
The leading soldier didn't know how to address Wang Wenwu, so he could only learn to address the landowners in his hometown, "Sir, we brothers want to exchange the treasures in our hands for some money so that we can return to the countryside. I wonder how much you are willing to pay, sir?"
"
The people on the other side were ordinary soldiers. Wang Wenwu knew from what he said that the people on the other side had no idea of the value of the things in their hands. He probably just knew that the things in his hands were good but didn't know how much they were worth, so he asked Wang Wenwu for them.
Wenwu will quote first.
Wang Wenwu asked: "Tell me first, what do you have in your hands?"
"Sir, we can't hide the big ones, they are all jewels."
Wang Wenwu only knew about pearls, and he really didn’t know what the orbs were, but to be buried with the royal family, it must be extraordinary.
But he still pretended to understand and said, "Bring one over and show it to me, and I'll give you a price!"
The leader thought the same thing. You always have to check the goods when buying something. But looking at the machine guns in the hands of the White Russians on both sides, he really didn't want to move a step, but he couldn't let the people on the opposite side look down on him. He took out an orb from his arms and stretched out his hand.
Said: "Master, here is the thing!"
When Wang Wenwu saw that the leading soldier was not moving forward at all, he felt a little grumble in his heart. Is he trying to lure me over to capture the thief and capture the king first? He said, "Hey, why don't you come here? Don't delay here for too long.
, if it attracts attention, you won’t be able to get out of the city alive!”
This is a threat! A naked threat. The identity of the group of people in front of me is not simple, and I don’t know who is under them.
Several people behind the wall listened to the sounds outside.
The young soldier couldn't bear his anger and said, "Uncle, why are you still outside? The people on the other side are sure to defeat us, so we might as well fight them!"
The eldest scolded: "Don't be impulsive. Your uncle knows it. The person on the other side is also looking for money. We only have a few broken guns in our hands. You really think the other person will be afraid of you!"
Another person also scolded: "Dog, don't be impulsive. Listen to your uncle and if you really take action, this thin wall can't stop the machine!"
The dog retorted: "I don't dare to shoot when I see the person on the other side. Otherwise, we would all be dead when we first met."
The oldest one said: "I think we are afraid of damaging our treasures, otherwise we would have fired long ago, as the dogs said. These White Russians are very accurate with their guns!"
It turned out to be the Qingman Courtyard.
Chapter completed!
