Chapter 881 Under the Mingqi

Boss, don't be angry. He is a fool. He can't speak one by one. Zhang Da Niu kicked his brother's buttocks, apologized to Zhuang Rui, and then said, "Boss, if you have anything to ask. As long as we know, I will tell you..." "I... I..."

Zhuang Rui was so popular that he almost forgot to ask something. Originally, he doubted whether the two brothers were singing oboe, but now it doesn't look like it very much. Zhang Erniu's whole mind is missing a string.

"No? Let's take a look..."

Erniu put the package in his hand on the table and said, "We are here to sell things. Why do we ask so much?"

"Do you dare to sell it, do you want me to buy it?"

Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly in his heart." After thinking for a moment, he said, "Er Niu, I'll just talk to your brother. You can go out for dinner, and the food delivery will come soon..."

Zhuang Rui really couldn't talk to Zhang Erniu. With him interrogant next to him, Zhuang Rui couldn't ask anything.

"Well, okay, brother, then I'm going out..." As soon as Zhang Erniu heard that he had something to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned around and ran out. In his heart, he didn't care whether things could be sold or not. Just to eat such a delicious meal, this trip was worth it.

After Er Niu went out, Zhuang Rui was relieved. He looked at Zhang Da Niu and asked, "Da Niu." Can you tell me where these things came from?

"Boss, that's all you asked?"

As soon as Zhang Da Niu heard this, he grinned and said, "Where else can this come from? It's dug out of the ground. These are all dug by Er Niu and me. Don't worry, "It's definitely our own"

As soon as Zhuang Rui heard this, he was stunned. He was already ready to listen to the story. Unexpectedly, this bull directly admitted that it was obtained from tomb robbery, which made Zhuang Rui's words unbearable.

Zhuang Rui was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Da Niu, where is your family?"

"We are from Mengjin County, Henan Province, which is close to Luoyang." But our village is in the mountains." This is the first time we have gone out so far..."

Zhang Daniu doesn't know why Zhuang Rui asked these questions? However, he has a good impression of this boss." He said it all, and he didn't even hide the fact that his parents had a sister for them last year.

Zhuang Rui now knows that these two brothers are not set, nor are they singing oboe, but real farmers in Mengjin County, Henan Province.

Da Niu is better. He once went to primary school for two years. Erniu can't even write his own name. He is an authentic illiterate person. Originally, the two brothers also went out to work, but Erniu's temper was too straightforward. After beating the contractor, the two went home to farm.

But these days, there is no money to farm. Seeing that there were neighbors going to rob tombs around, the two brothers also followed the wind. "The two of them were lucky. They dug a big tomb that no one had moved and took out a lot of good things.

Other tomb robbers usually have subordinates, but neither of them knows each other. They took something to the villagers to see. Others are only willing to give a few hundred yuan, so the two brothers put together to go to Beijing to find a buyer. Isn't it... Now sit in Zhuang Rui's face to fight.

Others have even told you that his parents. What else does Zhuang Rui have to ask? Then he said, "Okan, Da Niu, open the package and I'll take a look..."

"Oh, OK" I just went to an antique shop. The little brother actually said it was fake, but the old man in a store asked us to go in the afternoon. If you like these things, "I'll sell these things to you. You are kinder than the old man..." Da Niu listened to Zhuang Rui's words and happily spread the package This is not to show that someone is rushing for his object, but because he went to another store just now and didn't even drink his saliva. Finally, when he saw his object, the young man actually said that it was fake.

When it comes to Zhuang Rui, he eats and drinks. The treatment is completely different. The peasant brothers really accept the favor of others, so they don't do it in their hearts and always think about how to repay it.

"This...this"

Looking at the object that Da Niu took out of the package, Zhuang Rui was stunned. "He just sensed it with aura, and now when he saw the real thing, he was a little dumbfounded.

The first thing Da Niu took out was a bronze candlestick about 30 centimeters high.

The whole candlestick is covered with bronze rust, and the shape is very exquisite. A woman with her head on her temples knees, kneeling on the ground, holding the lotus huā eight-petal tray with both hands. There is a small hole in the tray, connected to the woman's body. This should be the place where the wick is

The fuel in the whole candlestick has already been evaporated after a long time of time, but the exquisite craftsmanship of this candlestick is not seen by Zhuang Rui in the stolen goods in Yu's tomb robbery gang. Among other things, "only this bronze candlestick" can be called a national treasure.

However, what Zhuang Rui regretted was that there was a defect at the bottom of the candlestick. There should have been a fixed bracket, but now it is gone. Obviously, it was violently broken.

Zhuang Rui asked Da Niu, and sure enough, the candlestick was originally embedded in the wall of the big tomb corridor, but was pulled down by Er Niu with brute force.

Zhuang Rui took a closer look. There were no inscriptions on the bronze candlestick, and the green embroidery on the body surface was very thin, which seemed to be faintly covered with a layer of golden light. Academically, it is called pan-gold, which is mostly found in unearthed cultural relics in Shaanxi, Henan and Gansu.

Pan gold does not mean that the artifact is plated with mercury or gold when it is cast, but that the bronze ware forms a special oxide layer in a specific soil environment. In the old days, it was also called "reimmediation" or "returning copper".

This phenomenon usually only occurs on bronzes that have just been cast and have not been used in human soil, and in the environment of drought and sandy land in all dy dynasties, "the tomb road needs to be closed and tightly" and has never been stolen, so that the best pan-gold bronze ware can appear.

In the eyes of some theoretical experts, such objects seem to be fake. It is estimated that the antique shop that this brother just went to is a white-necked expert (an expert with theory and lack of practice).

I don't know when the monkey entered the room. He looked at the bronze candlestick in Zhuang Rui's hand and said, "Brother Zhuang, I saw this thing in the morning. It should have come out of the big tomb, but I'm not sure what kind of tomb it is..."

"This is an object unearthed in a dry pit, which is well preserved and more valuable than some things in a puddle. Look at the shape and shape of the candlestick, it is the style of the Han Dynasty." The tomb built according to this standard is at least a prince..."

The puddle objects mentioned by Zhuang Rui are mostly in Hunan, Hubei and Zhejiang. It usually shows that the color is bright, the surface is mostly as shiny as a mirror, or green, or black and shiny, just like just taken out of the water.

After answering the answer to the monkey, Zhuang Rui looked at the rest of the objects, the same bronze candlestick as his hand, and four of which were in the same shape. It seemed that the corridor of the tomb was not short.

"Da Niu, when you first took this thing out, was there still color on it?" Zhuang Rui took a 20-cm tall pottery fong and asked Zhang Da Niu.

With a surprised look on his face, Zhang Da Niu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, how do you know, boss? It will look good. "I just don't know what's going on. As soon as I take it out, the color is gone..."

"Oh, it's a pity, Daniel, have you cleaned up the things in the tomb?" Looking at the pottery flies, Zhuang Rui felt weak in his heart. The glazed pottery flies, if they are well maintained, they can't keep them as they are, but now they are all destroyed.

"Boss, why do you ask this?"

As soon as Zhang Da Niu heard Zhuang Rui's words, his face showed a wary look. As soon as Zhuang Rui looked at his appearance, he knew that there must be something in the tomb.

"Da Niu, do you know that digging an ancient tomb is a violation of the law?" Zhuang Rui asked tentatively.

After Da Niu heard Zhuang Rui's words, he waved his hand carelessly and said, "What's the law? Our place is full of graves. At least hundreds of people are digging in a village. Some of them are digging graves, building small foreign-style buildings, and marrying wives. Why can others dig and we can't dig?

The two brothers also saw that others were robbed tombs at night. They slept during the day and lived a happy life. They didn't seem to have lost money. This made the brothers feel very unbalanced. They went up the mountain to find a hidden grave and dug out these things.

"The [police] of the Public Security Bureau doesn't care about these things?"

Zhuang Rui listened to a cold sweat. There are hundreds of people digging ancient tombs in a township. How many people will be engaged in this industry in that county or city?

You should know that archaeological excavation is a very meticulous work. In the process of excavation, it is not only necessary to maintain the integrity of the ancient tomb, but also the corridor cannot be destroyed, because those stone walls are often engraved with exquisite murals.

Therefore, the on-site excavation of ancient tombs should be carried out by professionals, but as Zhang Daniu said, "There are people digging ancient tombs everywhere in a village. Zhuang Rui doesn't know how many tombs will be destroyed?

"The management of the Public Security Bureau, if you catch it, you will be fined. The two tigers in front of our house were fined 5,000 yuan, so we took it to Beijing to sell it..." Zhang Daniu's words made Zhuang Rui even more speechless. He destroyed an ancient tomb of great value and only fined 5,000 yuan. Such supervision There are more and more people, and the atmosphere of tomb robbery is becoming more and more rampant.

In the past, I only heard that tomb robbery in Henan has become popular, but Zhuang Rui could not imagine that tomb robbery has become an industry. Farmers do not farm and specialize in tomb robbery for a living.

And these farmers' tomb robbers are far more harmful to ancient tombs than those professional tomb robbers. Their methods are often more fierce, and they dare to use explosive axes for anything.

The tombs excavated by these farmers are almost like crops looted by locusts. An inch of grass is something that can't be taken away, and many people will also break it.
