Chen Wenzhe admired the fact that members of the family of tomb robbers had mixed into the museum.

Their family should have been sublimated. 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 big family probably not only entered the museum, but also the police and officials.

That's right, their family is rich, and there are so many treasures, so naturally they won't be troubled by money.

If you don't work hard to make money, but you can still eat well, naturally there will be children who work hard for their ideals.

Therefore, it is really unreasonable for this family to be underdeveloped. This can be regarded as a family of good deeds, and there must be celebrations, right?

In the beginning, their family's morality was considered bad, after all, they were professional grave diggers, but it must not be the case later, otherwise there would not be so many large tombs left on Qishan Mountain.

This family is really powerful, no wonder his family can hide such a large number of treasures.

However, he is very interested in those golden wrong knives now, because through it, Chen Wenzhe can see more interesting things.

Therefore, Chen Wenzhe continued to go back.

"Golden Cuo Dao" is still very precious, not to mention that these Jin Cuo Dao were coins issued by Wang Mang at the turn of the Han Dynasty.

These golden wrong knives are composed of the knife ring and the knife body as a whole. The two characters "One knife" are engraved with a small amount of gold on the knife ring, and the three characters "Ping Wuqian" are engraved on the knife body.

According to records, when Wang Mang carried out the first currency reform, the "Golden Cuo Dao" was introduced, and it was stipulated that a Jin Cuo Dao was worth [-] pieces of five baht coins.

At that time, a catty of gold was worth [-] pieces of five baht.

Wang Mang's regulations are equivalent to two gold wrong knives equal to one catty of gold.

However, in fact, the precious metal content in the Jin Cuo Dao is seriously insufficient, and it is not enough to support Wang Mang's regulations, and it has become a tool for the ruler to plunder the wealth of the people.

Therefore, since the introduction of this measure, it has been strongly resisted by the society, and it was finally abandoned in just two years.

Also because of the short time of existence, the small scope of circulation, and the frequent occurrence of wars at that time, the number of gold wrong knives in the world is very small.

The golden wrong knife handed in by Zhang Mengqi is still in excellent condition after being buried deep underground for 2000 years, so it is naturally of good value.

At that time, the county museum also sent personnel to investigate the field where Zhang Mengqi discovered the cultural relics, but found no archaeological clues.

It seems that this earth pit is only "isolated" to preserve cultural relics.

Therefore, many people speculate that this earth pit should be a place for tomb robbers to 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 eternal unsolved mystery.

Of course, this is an unsolved mystery for others, but for Chen Wenzhe, as long as there is a line, he can continue to trace it.

Now that he has seen the golden wrong knife, he can naturally see the owner of the earliest golden wrong knife.

Following this line, Chen Wenzhe discovered the real tomb robber.

Otherwise, how can every grave robber be a legend?

This one is very legendary. He has worked hard in the tomb robbery business for many years, and was only arrested in [-].

This guy's surname is Wei, and he has absolute confidence in himself in the tomb robbery business.

Although he "entered the industry" late, he considered himself "diligent and studious", no worse than anyone else, and even summarized and sorted out a thick tomb robbery notebook.

It records the key points related to the robbery of various ancient pagodas, ancient tombs, and underground palaces. In addition to my own summary, more of it comes from the advice of the "predecessors" in the prison.

However, that time he fell.

In 2001, Wei was arrested for attempting to steal the underground palace of the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda in Binzhou, Xianyang, Western Shaanxi.

And this is not the end of this legend, but another beginning.

The main criminal of the Xianyang series of cultural relics theft and excavation cases, after being arrested, has been holding a "grievance" in his heart.

When he was released from prison 10 years later, he planned to "recover shame"...

In the center of Binzhou, Xianyang, Western Shaanxi, the nearly 50-meter-high Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda is majestic and magnificent.

There have been different opinions about the origin of this octagonal pavilion-style brick tower for thousands of years.

Some people say that it was built under the supervision of Yuchi Jingde himself, and some people say that Guo Ziyi, who made great military exploits to quell the Anshi Rebellion, also left a shadow in the temple.

According to local legends, there are big snakes and floods in Taxia Town, which protect the safety of this ancient city on the Silk Road. This may also be the origin of Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda's alias "Leifeng Pagoda".

In the process of repairing the ancient pagoda in the 80s, people found 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 and has become a symbol of Binzhou.

No one thought that at the end of 2017, the local police received clues that the underground palace of the Kaiyuan Temple Pagoda had been stolen.

The "January 1" series of robbery of ancient pagodas, underground palaces and ancient tombs became the No. 16 major case supervised by the Ministry of Public Security in 2018.

One day in April 2015, a restaurant named "Chuanxiang Restaurant" opened in the courtyard of the medicinal material company not far from the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple.

The boss, lobby manager, chef, and purchaser who speak foreign accents perform their duties every day.

The waiters hired locally were also busy serving dishes to greet customers, and the business license showed that this was a formally operated restaurant.

However, when night fell, they transformed themselves into another activity.

Every night at 10 o'clock, the buyer will open the store door on time, connect a group of people to the hotel, and use professional tools to dig holes into the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple from the ground next to the hotel bathroom.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, the group left in a hurry, packed the excavated soil in plastic woven bags and transported it away by car.

In this way, day after day, until October 2015, the underground palace of the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple was opened.

After pumping out the stagnant water in the underground palace, they discovered rare cultural relics such as sarcophagus, gold coffin, silver coffin, copper coffin, and bronze mirror.

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 "Captain Mojin" or Notes on Tomb Raiders, but a real scene in a case cracked by the police in XY City.

After investigation, at the beginning of 2015, the suspects Wei and Liu came up with the idea of ​​stealing the cultural relics in the underground palace of the ancient pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple in Binzhou City during the chat process.

Then Wei, Liu, Dong (deceased), Yan and others came to Binzhou four times to choose a suitable excavation site.

In the end, they rented a front room on the first floor of a medicinal material company, and Yan and Li were responsible for the decoration.

After Zhao Xianhua (at large) obtained a business license, she recruited local waiters and started her business.

The restaurant is usually managed by Zhao Xianhua, and the other two act as purchasers and chefs.

Since then, the "January 5" series of robbery and excavation of ancient pagodas, underground palaces and ancient tombs has gradually surfaced.
