The wind is very strong today. Although there is a half-circle moon in the sky, it will be obscured by a burst of low-lying dark clouds from time to time. Not only can I not see my fingers, but the visibility is also very low.
A strong wind blew through the orchard, and the branches made a rustling sound. Three figures quickly climbed over the railing outside the orchard and entered the orchard. The shadows of the trees hung upside down, like ghostly shadows.
"shut up!"
A low shout stopped the two wolf dogs that were rushing forward. When the originally vicious wolf dogs saw Boss Yu, they surrounded him and waggled their tails, but Boss Yu waved his hand and drove him away.
"Brother..."
Yu Sansheng came forward smelling of alcohol. His yin-yang face, half black and half white, looked more like a ghost against the backdrop of the night. It definitely had the effect of silencing children from crying at night.
What they do is the work of night owls. Yu Laosan always sleeps during the day and drinks when he wakes up. After all, he is the only one left in this barren mountain, and there are also several former partners buried not far away.
, No matter how courageous Yu Laosan is, he still needs to use wine to anesthetize himself.
Yu Laosan didn't say anything. He glanced at the wine bottle in Yu Laosan's hand. He raised his hand and slapped Yu Laosan on the face. The tall and powerful Yu Laosan was actually slapped on the spot.
He spun around, and when he regained his balance, half of his cheeks were already swollen.
"Damn it, you worthless thing, what time is it now, do you still dare to drink? If something goes wrong, I will let you go underground to accompany the Cui brothers."
Boss Yu's vicious words made Yu Sansheng wake up from his drunkenness immediately. He didn't even dare to fart. He stood in front of Boss Yu with his head bowed like a primary school student listening to the teacher's instructions.
"The old rules are, for the third one, you go up there to let loose, and for the fourth one, you go to the edge of the orchard, ring the bell if something happens, and be alert..."
Yu Ku took out two walnut-sized copper bells from the backpack behind him and handed them to the two of them. However, the metal copper tongue inside the bells was tied with a thin wire and wrapped around the outside of the bells.
After going around many times, Lao Si and Yu Sansheng took the bell, skillfully untied the thread wrapping the tongue, and held the bell with their hands to prevent it from making a crisp sound.
Although there are walkie-talkies available now, the bell can transmit the sound far away in the silent night. Boss Yu and the others have long been accustomed to using this. After all, if something happens, they may not have time to use the walkie-talkie. The bell will
It's different. Just throw it on the ground and it will make a sound.
After Boss Yu finished explaining, he put down the backpack in his hand and took off the shabby clothes he was wearing, revealing a black diving suit that was close to the skin. He also took out a mask from the bag and put it on his head.
, only a pair of eyes are exposed.
Lao Ba is also dressed in the same way. The clothes they wear are all specially made to prevent dirt from being stained on their bodies, and can also protect their skin from being scratched by gravel and other objects.
Not only that, there are jacks and gas masks in Boss Yu’s backpack. Many main pit tomb chambers have been closed for a long time, and the gases inside contain toxins. Boss Yu has been peeping at this Wenzong tomb for more than ten years.
, quite well prepared.
"Let's go..."
Boss Yu took a faint look outside the dark woods and entered the wooden house built in the middle of the orchard first.
This wooden house is about ten square meters in size. In order to prevent it from being contaminated by the earth's air and moisture, the floor of the wooden house is paved with a layer of blue bricks. There is a bamboo bed in the innermost part, and a table in the middle. There is also a table near the door.
A bunch of wine bottles were thrown away. Next to the wine bottles, there was a stove with a fire, but the fire inside had been extinguished long ago and it had not been used for an unknown period of time.
Boss Yu squatted down and pried up the green bricks on the right side of the stove one by one. After prying out about ten green bricks, two grooves were exposed on the ground. Lao Ba and Yu Laosan walked to the stove
to the left, push the stove to the right with force.
With a "click" sound, the stove, which seemed to be fixed on the ground, slowly slid more than one meter to the right, and in its original position, a hole more than one meter wide was revealed.
Without waiting for Yu Ku's instructions, Lao Ba took out a miner's lamp and put it on his head. As soon as he got short, he got in through the entrance of the hole. His figure quickly disappeared into the ground, and the originally dark hole was filled with yearning.
bright.
"Third brother, wait until we go in and push the stove back."
Boss Yu was already halfway down. He didn't know what he thought of, so he got out again and gave instructions to Boss Yu.
"I know, brother, take this bell down here."
Yu Sansheng handed the bell in his hand to Yu Ku. After seeing Boss Yu get down, Yu Laosan passed the thread through a hollow place on the stove and tied the thread to the leg of the table close to the ground.
Push the stove back to its original position and lay back the green bricks that were lifted from the ground one by one.
After doing all this, Yu Laosan took out a bottle of wine from under the bed and drank it with the braised pork on the table. It wasn't that he was big-hearted, but it was just that there was too much work to do. Basically,
There have been no problems. According to Yu Laosan’s experience, they won’t come up within two hours. It’s better to just sit there and drink on the hour.
Yu Laosi, who was outside the garden, did not feel so comfortable. The mosquitoes in the orchard were all in their nests. He simply couldn't stay in one place. From time to time, he swatted the blood-sucking mosquitoes attached to his body with his hands.
…
The geographical location of Liujiazhuang is relatively remote. There are mountains to the west of Zhuangzi. Except for some married girls returning to their parents' homes, few people come here.
But today is an exception. Not only people from the surrounding villages, but also people from the county town came in cars. For no other reason than because Liu Changfa got married. A large group of classmates and colleagues came, and the flowing water mat had been set up all day.
, and occasionally cars would drive into Liujiazhuang.
On the roadside more than two miles away from Liujiazhuang, there is an earth building, which is built with mud and grass mixed with water. After drying, it will become very strong. In the past, there were even many
Everyone's houses are like this.
On a hayfield behind the earth building, a Santana car has been parked since around five o'clock in the afternoon, just hidden in the shadow of the earth building and haystacks. When it gets dark, it becomes even more hidden.
In the darkness.
Santana's front window was open, and a bright spot flickered in the night.
Yu Laoqi just came back from Wuhan yesterday. After his brother was shot dead in Guangdong, Yu's tomb robbing gang immediately dispersed to all parts of the country. They have money and have residences in different cities. Except for Yu
Except for the boss, no one else knows.
However, for more than half a year, Yu Laoqi always felt uneasy. He dreamed of his brother several times in his dreams. If his passport and money were not in the hands of Yu Laoqi, he would have gone abroad long ago.
Already.
After opening the car door, Yu Laoqi walked out, put the cigarette butts in his hands under his feet, and then peeed into the haystack. Just as he shivered all over and was about to pull up his pants, something suddenly happened behind his ears.
There was a gust of wind, and before Yu Laoqi could react, a pair of big hands like iron pliers grabbed his neck and pushed him directly onto the haystack where he had just peed.
Ignoring the fishy smell coming from his mouth, Yu Laoqi struggled desperately and shouted loudly: "What do you do? What do you do?!"
"pull over."
Yu Laoqi's struggle was in vain. A pair of handcuffs quickly cuffed his hands from behind, and then his body was pulled to the front of the car, his head pressed firmly against the front of Santana's car. A bright light lit up, illuminating
On Yu Laoqi's face, Yu Laoqi's eyes were half-squinted, with a look of despair on his shocked face.
"Yu Zhenjiang?"
A male voice rang in Yu Laoqi's ears. Hearing his real name, Yu Laoqi stopped struggling in vain. At this time, he could see clearly that around him, there were armed policemen with live ammunition.
The police car then drove over.
"Take them to custody, have a surprise trial, and report to me if you have any situation..."
Chen Zhi waved his hand, and Yu Laoqi was escorted to the police car. Naturally, there was an old pre-trial to deal with him.
"Criminal Brigade, how is the situation with the main criminal now?" Chen Zhi asked a middle-aged man in casual clothes next to him.
"Director Chen, we have arranged for people to follow them. They have just left the village and headed towards the back mountain. The situation is similar to what we judged. We should take action tonight."
The Criminal Brigade was sent by the Shaanxi police to support the arrests of brother units. They were all members of the Criminal Brigade who were monitoring Boss Yu's actions in the village. Because Chen Zhi had a different accent, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he had only one interview with Professor Meng.
In addition, Chen Zhi has always been conducting remote control from outside the village.
…
The robbery hole that Lao Ba dug was in the shape of a slope. It entered the tomb passage from the ground to a height of more than ten meters, which was about the same as a three-story building. After descending into the tomb passage, Boss Yu immediately removed the bell in his hand.
Release it and let it hang vertically at the entrance of the burglar's cave.
The tomb passage is about 1.6 meters high and more than two meters wide. This was needed to place the coffin at that time. Boss Yu had to bend forward here. There was actually a drainage channel on the side of the tomb passage. According to Lao Ba
According to the analysis, this is most likely connected to the underground river.
By the light of the miner's lamp, Lao Ba and Yu Lao Da walked deep into the tomb passage one after another.
Although the robbery hole into the tomb passage was sealed by Yu Laosan, the air in the tomb passage is not dull. After operating here for several years, Mr. Yu is not only digging huge rocks, but also ventilating holes.
I asked Lao Ba to hit three of them, and the entire perimeter of Wen Zong's Mausoleum had been thoroughly explored by Boss Yu.
This tomb passage is twenty-eight meters long. Both sides and the top are made of stone bricks, which are tightly jointed and smooth. It can be seen that this Wenzong tomb will not be inferior to those unearthed tombs of princes.
In fact, when Emperor Wenzong was in power, he was always imprisoned by eunuchs and was not taken seriously. Originally, the tombs would not be of such a scale, but no matter which dynasty it was in, according to the convention, the new emperor would build his own mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne. Naturally, Wenzong also
No exception.
Moreover, after Emperor Wenzong was imprisoned and died by the eunuchs, these eunuchs also gave Emperor Wenzong a grand burial in order to avoid the world's complaints and to show their innocence. Therefore, Wenzong's mausoleum is no worse than those of the previous emperors.
.
On the ground five meters ahead of the robbery cave, there was an alloy ladder spread out. Lao Ba and Yu Ku climbed up the ladder carefully. Under their bodies, there were a series of flip-flops. For the first time
When they entered here, the Cui brothers were trapped here.
After crossing this chain of flaps, Boss Yu turned around and pulled the ladder over, because there was another place like this in front of him, and he would fall if he was not careful.
A distance of more than 20 meters, the two walked for nearly ten minutes before they arrived at the door outside the tomb. This was a white marble stone door. The doors were opposite, made of a whole piece of white marble, and they matched well.
Only a few millimeters of blade could barely fit into the gap in the door.
On the two doors, there is a bronze unicorn animal head inlaid on the left and right. The monster head has wide eyes and a copper ring in its mouth. The corrosion of thousands of years has caused the rings to be stained with rust.
This door is the last obstacle between Boss Yu and the tomb. If the archaeological team had not stationed in Liujiazhuang, Boss Yu would have opened this door long ago. Although there is a tap stone blocking the door, it cannot stop it.
The footsteps of grave robbers.
The tap stone is an anti-theft device with a simple principle but a clever idea. To put it more bluntly, the tap stone is the latch that locks the tomb door from the inside.
But to make the stone door automatically lock from behind, the ancients still had to think hard.
They first made the upper and lower ends of the stone door shafts into spherical shapes, and then carved a groove with a raised surface in the same part of the two stone doors at the same level as the door seam. Then, they made a groove on the stone pavement not far from the central axis of the door.
Cut out a groove that is shallow in front and deep in back.
Before closing the stone door, people first placed the stone bar of considerable width in the groove on the ground, and slowly tilted it forward so that it came into contact with the stone door. After people withdrew from the tomb, the stone bar was
The pressure of its own tilt and the "ball" effect at the end of the door shaft automatically push the stone door to close until its top falls in the convex groove of the stone door on both sides.
At this time, anyone who wants to push the stone door open from the outside can only do so in wishful thinking.
Many friends have been to the Dingling Tombs of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing. The gate of the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum was also sealed with tapstones. In order to enter the underground palace, the archaeologists spent a lot of effort, but in the end they borrowed the walking sticks used by ancient tomb robbers.
Nail, and this door was opened.
The so-called crutch is a metal tool with a long handle at one end and a semicircular shape at the other end. When opening the tomb door, extend the crutch through the door gap, then put the semicircular part on the tap stone, and then put the crutch into the tomb door.
Slowly lift the stone and at the same time push the tomb door until the stone stands on the ground and the door can be fully opened.
However, not everyone who wants to open the tomb door will rack their brains to find a way to crack the mechanism of the tapstone. In 1928, Sun Dianying also encountered obstacles when he robbed the Dingdong Tomb of Cixi and the Yuling Tomb of Emperor Qianlong.
At that time, the bandits tried their best to open the tomb door, but they could only use explosives to blow it open. At that time, the stone door collapsed, and it happened to hit the tomb door where the body of Qianlong had been drifted due to rising groundwater.
on the sarcophagus.
Later, when the tomb of Cixi was excavated, Sun Dianying was afraid of damaging the treasures in the tomb, so he mobilized more than 40 people to use large and strong logs to forcefully break open the tomb door. After the tomb door was opened, the contents inside were found inside.
The stone was actually broken into several sections.
When Boss Yu saw the tomb door, he originally wanted to open it using the method of opening Dingling. However, the plan changed. Lao Liu's mistake in Guangdong and the arrival of the archaeological team left him no time to customize it.
That kind of tool, so explosives became his first choice.
At the place where the stone gate is one meter above the ground, where the stone blocks the door, Mr. Yu has already carved out a round hole about the size of a fist and about twenty centimeters deep. This is where he plans to place explosives.
Boss Yu didn't dare to be as unscrupulous as Sun Dianying who robbed the tomb. There was a squad of armed police guarding the excavation site a few hundred meters away. If there was too much movement, they would definitely be alerted.
The tap stones are generally not very big. Boss Yu wanted to use the impact of the explosive explosion to break the tap stones at the door. He had used this method before when he robbed the tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
At a depth of more than ten meters on the ground, there was not much movement.
The light in front of the stone gate was a little dim. Boss Yu took out two fluorescent sticks from his backpack, bent them and threw them on both sides of the stone gate. It suddenly became much brighter. Lao Ba stood in front of the door and took out detonators, explosives and some other items from his backpack.
Seal the tape and prepare to fix it in the center of the stone door.
"Baby, slow down, our fuse is not long enough, let's use this one..."
Boss Yu suddenly stopped Lao Ba with words. After walking over, he put the detonators and explosives into his backpack. He pasted the piece of plasticine-like thing in his hand on the stone door and piled it inside with all his strength.
A large part of it penetrates into the cracks of the door.
When Lao Ba saw the thing in Yu Ku's hand, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He recognized this thing. Its full name is C4 plastic explosive, or C4 or plastic bomb for short. Its main component is polyisobutylene, which is made of gunpowder mixed with plastic.
, extremely powerful.
Plastic bombs are made from a mixture of high-performance explosive substances such as TNT, semtex and white phosphorus. They can be ground into powder, installed in rubber materials at will, and then extruded into any shape. If adhesive materials are attached to the outside, they can be
It is placed in a very hidden part and sticks to it like chewing gum, so it is called cruel "chewing gum".
This kind of plastic bomb is resistant to strong pressure, squeezing and even waterproof. In addition to being detonated by a specific fuse, it will not explode automatically due to sheer high temperature or fire. It will not easily injure yourself if it encounters a slight impact like a gunpowder bomb.
.
The plastic bomb in Boss Yu's hand was bought from the black market in Hong Kong. It could easily avoid the X-ray security inspection. He brought three of them back then, but now he only has this one left.
After pasting the bomb on the door, Boss Yu took out a metal piece that was only the size of a small fingernail, like a battery in a watch, and just stuffed it into the plastic bomb in the crack of the door, and then called out to Boss
, the two of them quickly retreated.
After retreating to the bottom of the tomb, Boss Yu stopped. After putting on a gas mask, he took out a car remote control from his pocket, looked at each other and pressed it hard.
A muffled sound of "Boom!" came out, and the ground under Boss Yu's feet shook a few times. The movement was not very loud. I believe that if you were not standing above the explosion point, you would not feel the vibration of the ground.
Even the brass bell hanging next to Boss Yu did not ring.
"It's done!"
Yu Ku waved his fist excitedly, with a greedy look in his eyes. However, he did not rush forward. Instead, he stood quietly and waited for the gas in the tomb to evaporate for a while before entering.
…
Yu Lao San underground would not have thought that the wooden house above his head was already full of people inside and outside, and that Yu Lao San, who he had placed high hopes on, would be pressed to the ground like a dead dog.
.
At this time, Yu Laosan remembered what his boss said, drinking would cause trouble. In fact, when Yu Laosi was captured just now, the bell had already been shaken. Yu Laosan also heard the crisp ringing of the bell and the barking of the dog, but after drinking
His mind was a little slow, so Yu Laosan did not ring the bell immediately, but walked to the door to wait and see. The police who had already lurked at the door swarmed him and pushed him to the ground.
The vibration coming from under the feet made everyone in the wooden house stunned. Yu Laosan, who was pushed to the ground, took the opportunity to break free without even standing up. He climbed to the table and pulled the underground connection with all his strength.
Brass bell rope.
Although Yu Laosan was subdued immediately, the signal had already been sent out.
"Ding-a-ling-ring, jingle-a-ling-a-ling..."
The crisp sound echoed in the tomb passage, and the two men, Boss Yu and Lao Ba, who had already reached the turning point, suddenly changed their expressions and quickly stepped back.
"Quickly, find the entrance to the thief's cave..."
Chen Zhi did not bother to interrogate Yu Laosan and kept giving orders. Although the situation of catching a turtle in a urn had already formed, Chen Zhi still did not dare to be careless. If the criminals felt that there was no way out and destroyed the tomb in a frantic manner, then he would have no choice.
Explained to Professor Meng.
Following the line connecting the copper bell, the robber's hole under the stove was quickly revealed. There was no light in the dark hole. Chen Zhi and others did not dare to go down hastily, because according to the information they had, the tomb robber was
The gang is armed with firearms.
Chen Zhi grabbed the loudspeaker from a policeman next to him and shouted at the burglar's cave: "People below, listen, you have been surrounded, put down your weapons..."
Before he finished speaking, a gunshot was heard from below the robbery cave. However, the robbery cave was in the shape of a slope, so it could not hit the people above.
"Tear gas!"
A trace of anger appeared on Chen Zhi's face. Immediately, several armed police stood above the robbery cave and fired several tear gas canisters downwards. Then they pulled over the mat that Yu Laosan was sleeping on and blocked the exit of the robbery cave.
