Chapter 1,727 A house that accumulates good deeds will always be happy
People from a family of tomb robbers infiltrated into the museum, which made Chen Wenzhe a little impressed.
Their family must have been promoted. In the beginning, the family may have really made a fortune by robbing tombs.
However, when they have enough money, they no longer simply rob tombs to make money, but for protection.
This large family probably not only entered the museum, but also the police and officials.
Also, their family is rich and has so many treasures, so naturally they will not be trapped by money.
If you can make money without working hard and still have enough to eat, you will naturally have children who work hard for your ideals.
Therefore, it is really unreasonable for this family to be underdeveloped. This can be regarded as a family that has accumulated good deeds and must have a happy life, right?
At first, their family's morality was considered a loss. After all, they were professionals in digging graves. But that was definitely not the case later. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many big tombs left in Qishan.
This family is really powerful, so it's no wonder that their family can hide such a large amount of treasures.
However, he is now very interested in those golden knives, because through them, Chen Wenzhe can see more interesting things.
Therefore, Chen Wenzhe continued to look back.
The "gold-coated knives" are still very precious, not to mention that these gold-coated knives were coins issued by Wang Mang at the turn of the Han Dynasty.
These gold staggered knives are composed of a ring and a blade. The ring is engraved with the word "一刀" with a small amount of gold, while the blade is engraved with the three characters "平五千".
According to records, when Wang Mang carried out his first currency reform, he introduced the "Jin Tao Dao" and stipulated that one gold Tao Dao was worth five thousand five baht coins.
At that time, a pound of gold was worth ten thousand five baht coins.
Wang Mang's rule is equivalent to two gold knives being equal to one pound of gold.
However, in fact, the precious metal content in the golden knife was seriously insufficient to support Wang Mang's regulations, and it became a tool for rulers to plunder people's wealth.
Therefore, this measure encountered fierce resistance from society when it was introduced, and was eventually abandoned in just two years.
Also because of its short existence, small circulation range, and frequent wars at that time, the number of gold staggered knives in existence is very small.
The gold-wrapped knife handed over by Zhang Mengqi is still in excellent condition after being buried deep in the ground for two thousand years, so it is naturally of great value.
At that time, the county museum also sent personnel to investigate the fields where Zhang Mengqi found cultural relics, but no archaeological clues were found.
It seems that this pit only preserves cultural relics in "isolation".
Therefore, many people speculate that this pit should be a place where tomb robbers bury stolen cultural relics.
As for the reason why the tomb robbers did not come to retrieve these cultural relics, it will probably become an unsolved mystery forever.
Of course, this is an unsolved mystery for others, but for Chen Wenzhe, as long as there is a clue, he can continue to trace it.
Now that he has seen the golden knife, he can naturally see the owner of the earliest gold knife.
Following this line, Chen Wenzhe discovered the real tomb robber.
Otherwise, how can we say that every tomb robber can be a legend?
This man is a legend. He has been in the tomb robbing business for many years and was only arrested in 2001.
This guy's surname is Wei, and he has absolute confidence in himself in the tomb robbing business.
Although he "entered the industry" late, he considers himself "diligent and studious" and is no worse than anyone else. He even compiled a thick notebook of tomb robbing notes.
It records the key points related to the excavation of various ancient towers, ancient tombs, and underground palaces. In addition to my own summary, it also comes from the advice of the "seniors" in the prison.
However, that time he fell.
In 2001, Wei was arrested for attempting to rob the underground palace of the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda in Binzhou, Xianyang, Western Shaanxi Province.
And this is not the end of this legend, but the beginning of another one.
The main culprit in the Xianyang series of cultural relic theft cases has been holding back a sense of "resentment" in his heart since he was arrested.
After he was released from prison 10 years later, he planned to "avenge his shame"...
In the center of Binzhou, Xianyang, Western Shaanxi Province, the nearly 50-meter-high Kaiyuan Temple Tower is majestic.
As for the origin of this octagonal pavilion-style brick tower, there have been different opinions for thousands of years.
Some people say that it was built under the personal supervision of Yuchi Jingde, while others say that Guo Ziyi, who made great military exploits in pacifying the Anshi Rebellion, also left his presence in the temple.
According to local legend, there are big snakes and floods in Taxia Town, which protect the safety of this ancient Silk Road city. This may be the origin of the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda's nickname "Leifeng Pagoda".
During the maintenance of the ancient pagoda in the 1980s, people discovered evidence that the ancient pagoda was built in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The local people cherish this ancient pagoda and repair it from time to time. It has also been integrated into the lives and memories of generations of people and has become a symbol of Binzhou.
No one would have thought that at the end of 2017, the local police received clues and learned that the underground palace of Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda had been stolen and excavated.
The "1.16" series of excavations of ancient pagodas and underground palaces and ancient tombs became the No. 09 major case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security in 2018.
One day in April 2015, a restaurant called "Sichuan Xiang Restaurant" opened in the courtyard of a medicinal materials company not far from the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple.
The boss, lobby manager, chef, and buyer with foreign accents all perform their duties every day.
The waiters hired locally are also busy serving dishes and greeting guests. The business license shows that this is a officially operated restaurant.
However, when night fell, they changed into another kind of business.
At 10 o'clock every night, the buyer will open the store door on time, bring a group of people into the hotel, and use professional tools to dig a hole from the ground next to the hotel bathroom to the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the group left in a hurry, packed the excavated soil in plastic woven bags, and drove it away.
In this way, day after day, until the month, the underground palace of the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple was opened.
After they drained away the water in the underground palace, they discovered rare cultural relics such as stone coffins, gold coffins, silver coffins, copper coffins, and bronze mirrors.
The cultural relics were stolen, and the boss, lobby manager, chef, and purchaser were all gone.
And this is not about the plot of a movie like "The Captain Touching the Gold" or "Tomb Robbery Notes", but a real scene in a case solved by the XY City police.
After investigation, in early 2015, the criminal suspects Wei and Liu came up with the idea of stealing cultural relics from the ancient pagoda and underground palace of Kaiyuan Temple in Binzhou City during their chat.
Subsequently, Wei, Liu, Dong (deceased), Yan and others came to Binzhou four times to select suitable excavation sites.
In the end, they rented a front room on the first floor of a medicinal company, and Yan and Li were responsible for the decoration.
After Zhao Xianhua (at large) obtained a business license, he recruited local waiters and started business.
The restaurant is usually managed by Zhao Xianhua, and the other two people play the role of purchaser and chef.
Since then, this excavation crime has spread across five cities and provinces in Xishan and Xishan, and the reselling crime has spanned half of China. The "1.16" series of excavations of ancient pagodas, underground palaces, and ancient tombs have gradually surfaced.
