Chapter 882 Jade Man

"Boss, there are a few more things in this. Do you still want to see it?"

Seeing that Zhuang Rui stopped talking, Zhang Da Niu couldn't help beating a drum in his heart. He also knew that it was illegal to dig an ancient tomb. If he was caught, he would be fined at least three or five thousand yuan. Their family didn't have that much money.

"And? Look, I want to see..."

After hearing Zhang Da Niu's words, Zhuang Rui suddenly woke up. As the saying goes, gold and antiques in troubled times. Now antiques are so popular that those cultural relics dealers will keep their eyes on the countryside.

And these rural people have unique conditions, coupled with a generally low cultural level, they do not understand their private excavation behavior, and what kind of damage they have on the cultural relics left over from history.

However, Zhuang Rui is a little puzzled. The state has been cracking down on the crime of excavating and selling cultural relics. Why can some places dig ancient tombs so blatantly? Are those local governments eating dry food?

In fact, Zhuang Rui doesn't know that in the border of Henan, especially around Dengshan, there is only a tomb-robbery army in Meng County (if the specific signature is not specified, the previous chapter will be changed, and the province's cross-provincial) is no less than 5,000 people. As the saying goes, the public is not

And even the families of those government personnel may expect this to eat, so even if they are caught, it will only be fined a little money. If they really want to be sentenced, it is estimated that they will be surrounded by a group of old men and old ladies the next day. This has not happened.

These local tomb robbers belong to the bottom of this industry. At the beginning, they worked hard to dig out the brightware, and the complete quality was only sold for a few hundred yuan, and generally even dozens of yuan was sold.

After the rise of antiques, these people also felt that they had suffered losses. Gradually, they began to change from family workshop-style tomb robbery to gang behavior.

Several people with good relations are combined with a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for tomb robbery, and some are responsible for Wang Feng. They specialize in squatting at the door of the [Pai] out of the office. Often [police] get the news as soon as they go out, which also brings difficulties to the work of the police

Even if some major cases have alarmed the senior management and the police are dispatched to arrest them, they will only let them restrain themselves a little. After the limelight, they will continue to dig at night. The task force can't stay there, can they?

Therefore, such a family workshop-style tomb robbery gang cannot be banned and will continue to exist, like a ground mouse, destroying precious ancient tombs one by one.

"This... is a pottery fian, isn't it? Why is it so heavy? Is it solid?"

When the monkey helped Zhang Daniel untie another package and picked up an object from it, he almost dropped it on the ground. Obviously, the monkey failed to estimate the weight of the thing.

"I don't know" This thing is always heavy. If it hadn't been for my brother's strength, he wouldn't have been able to carry it to Beijing..."

Zhang Da Niu doesn't care much about these things. In his opinion, these things can't be eaten or drunk. Although he knows that they can be exchanged for money, he doesn't understand what's the use of these people receiving things?

So after digging up these things, Zhang Da Niu and his brother hid things in the land damage. They have never sorted them out. This time, when they came to Beijing, they casually selected something from the land damage and brought it.

"Monkey, what is it?"

The conversation between the two attracted Zhuang Rui's attention. When he walked over, the monkey was struggling to hold a humanoid pottery figurine 30 or 40 centimeters high, which was full of yellow soil. "I couldn't figure out the appearance and gender of the character.

"I don't know, there are few solid pottery figurines. This thing is really heavy..."

The monkey answered Zhuang Rui's words and put the things back on the table. "I gasped tiredly.

"Well, it's really not easy..."

Zhuang Rui stretched out his hand and weighed it. This object, which was not very big, actually weighed sixty or seventy catties, and it was almost the same size as a stone block, which made him a little stunned.

Because the solid-fired terracotta terracotta flies is very easy to crack, since the Qin Dynasty, in addition to the solid-fired neck, the head of the terracotta terracotta terracotta materal terracotta materal terracotta materal terracotta terracott

Of course, solid pottery factuals have also been unearthed in history, but those are fired in segments and spliced together. They are very easy to break when moved, and will not give people a feeling of integration like this pottery fware.

"What? No..."

After swimming around this humanoid object with aura, Zhuang Rui was suddenly stunned, because the aura he found in this thing was actually the light and cool smell of jade.

"Is it Yushan"

Zhuang Rui turned his head and said to the monkey, "Go find a washbasin and bring a brush. This thing is a little strange, not like a pottery frug..."

After four or five minutes, the monkey found a large plastic basin from nowhere, took half a basin of water and brought it in, with a pig's mane brush in his hand.

Zhuang Rui's strength is far from comparable to that of a monkey. He grabbed the object with one hand and put it directly in the basin. The water in the basin touched the soil on the object and immediately became turbid.

Zhuang Rui took the brush, brushed it up from his head with water, and cleaned up the upper layer of yellow mud a few times. He didn't wait for him to take a closer look, the monkey standing aside exclaimed, "This..., this thing is not a pottery figurine, but a jade man!"

"Jade?"

Zhang Daniu, who was beside him, was also stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy. He opened his mouth and said, "The boss is still awesome. We really don't know that this thing is jade. It's heavy when we move it up..."

After hearing that this thing is jade, Zhang Da Niu rubbed his hands vigorously. Even if rural people have no more knowledge, they know that jade is valuable. Da Niu has estimated in his heart that this thing should be sold for at least 1,000... No, it will take at least 2,000.

Zhuang Rui did not pay attention to the two. As the jade man was gradually cleaned up, his face also became solemn. He took a tape measure from the table. The jade man was 48 centimeters high.

The jade man is carved from a whole piece of white jade. Due to its age, a lot of soil has been poured into the jade man. After washing it clean, the whole body turns yellow. Its shape is a woman holding the piano in her arms.

To be precise, the jade man should hold the pipa. The head of the pipa includes string grooves, string shafts, mountain passes and other subtle places. The carving is very delicate and exquisite. Judging from the pipa held in the arms of the jade man, she should be a pianist.

The jade man's own carving is also very good. The whole jade man is covered with decorations as thin as hair. This woman who should be a pianist smiles, slightly raises her jaw, and wears a long-sleeved robe, which looks lifelike.

In Zhuang Rui's eyes, it is difficult for anyone to reach the sculpting more than two thousand years ago. I'm afraid that this effect can't be done with machine carving. This is definitely the pinnacle of jade carving in the Han Dynasty!

"Damn, whose nest did these two guys dig up?"

Zhuang Rui marveled in his heart that the unearthing of the jade man showed that the identity of the owner of the tomb was much higher than he thought.

You should know that ancient tombs are ceremonial, especially for court officials. There is a lot of attention to burying with any identity. No matter how rich you are, you don't dare to bury too many illegal objects without identity. Otherwise, not only will the graves be taken away, but also your descendants will suffer.

In ancient times, jade, especially in the Qin and Han Dynasties, was an extremely important sacrificial rite to heaven. Generally, it is impossible for ministers to have such a large piece of jade to carve funeral objects, so the owner of this jade man may be the existence of an emperor.

"Boss, how much do you think this thing is worth? Is 5,000 yuan worth it?

When Zhuang Rui was measuring the jade man, Zhang Da Niu couldn't hold his strength and went to Zhuang Rui and asked.

"5000 yuan?"

Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and felt a little sad for the ancient emperors. The tombs and funerary objects they built with the whole country at that time were only worth 5,000 yuan in Zhang Daniu's mouth?

"Da Niu, let me tell you the truth. To be honest, have you found anything in the coffin of that tomb?"

Generally, in the tombs of emperors in the Han Dynasty, it is very likely that gold or silver jade clothes will be unearthed. Zhuang Rui can see from this jade man that the scale of this emperor is probably no less than that of the Mancheng Han tomb where gold jade clothes have been unearthed.

"Coffin? That big sarcophagus?"

Seeing Zhuang Rui's cautious question, Zhang Da Niu thought for a moment and said, "There is a big sarcophagus in it. Erniu chopped it a few times with an axe and didn't cut it open. I was afraid that the things inside would cheat the corpse, so I didn't let Erniu open it. I

Rural people are more superstitious, and the Da Niu brothers are not professional tomb robbers. They still believe in ghosts and gods, so in the gloomy tomb, they did not dare to open the coffin in the end.

It's just that Zhang Daniel didn't know that the ancient tombs have the most treasures in the museum, and it is also the best to carry and the most valuable. Generally, experienced grave robbers are the first to clean up the coffin after going down, and even the jade plugs in the bones that block the nine orifices will not be

Zhuang Rui was relieved to hear the words. If the coffin was moved by Zhang Da Niu, the loss would really be irreparable. With their temperament, they would definitely cut off the gold thread on the jade clothes and throw the corpse to get the clothes.

"Da Niu, let me say something to you. Don't be happy and don't be afraid..."

Zhuang Rui thought for a moment. The things involved in this big tomb were really amazing. He didn't dare to hide it between public and private. Then he continued to say, "Do you want to know how much a jade man is worth?"

"I want to!" Zhang Da Niu nodded repeatedly.

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you that it is worth at least 5 million yuan. If you sell it abroad, even 10 million people will want it!"

"Five...thousand?!"

Zhang Da Niu didn't react. He stretched out his right hand with five fingers to look at it, and then stretched out his left hand. After a long time, he struggled to spit out the word "Wan" from his mouth.
