I contracted this sea [Live]

There were more than a dozen boxes, all sealed with sealing wax, and each of them weighed about the same. Ao Bing picked it up and shook it, and felt that the things inside should be gold scraps, so he didn't buy the rest of the boxes. Unpacked.

The people from the cultural relics department of Beijing came very quickly and brought a few experts, but when these people arrived at the backyard of the ornamental fish shop according to the address given by Ao Bing, they were all dumbfounded when they saw the objects piled up in the yard.

The first thing those experts saw were those large water tanks. They were so conspicuous that it was difficult not to notice them.

"This is……"

After the experts looked at each other, they all saw shock and astonishment in each other's eyes.

Immediately, the staff reacted and eagerly called the higher-ups.

After the big leader answered the phone, he asked about the situation: "Have you arrived in Jin City? Have you met Xiao Ao? What exactly did he bring back?"

The staff member didn't know how to explain: "Leader, there are a lot of things. You may need to contact the higher authorities and arrange a group of special police to come down as soon as possible for reinforcements."

The big leader was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Is it so serious? What the hell is it? Send me some photos and I'll take a look!"

Seeing this, the staff hurriedly took a lot of pictures of the yard, and also recorded a video and sent it over.

It was already night, and the lights in the backyard were not particularly bright, so the picture taken was a little dark, but this did not prevent the great leader from recognizing the appearance of these things in the photo.

As soon as he saw these objects, the big leader shook his hand and almost lost his grip on the mobile phone and fell to the ground. He got up from the bed without saying a word, and didn't care about going to sleep. He changed his clothes while making a phone call. go out.

"It's so late, why are you going out?" My wife couldn't help asking when she saw her husband going out so late.

The big leader's eyes were full of light, and he was so excited that he almost burst into tears. He said to his wife:

"This matter is too important to delay. I have to go to the Armed Police Corps right away, and I have to go to the Palace Museum to find Shan Zheng Li. Shan Zheng Li and I will take people to Tianjin overnight. I won’t come back, you can sleep by yourself, don’t worry about me.”

The wife couldn't do anything after hearing this, so she could only lie down again and let her husband go out in the middle of the night.

Before he walked out of the door, the secretary who received the news had already brought the driver to the downstairs of his house and waited. After getting in the car, he went straight to the Armed Police Corps.

On the way, the big leader called Shan Zhengli, and Shan Zhengli, who got the news, was even more excited than the big leader. He called several old buddies back to the museum in the middle of the night, and asked these curators and deputy curators to pack their things immediately. Follow him to Tsu City.

These curators and deputy curators didn't know why, but when the big leaders drove to the gate of the museum with armed special police, they got into the car together.

On the other hand, Ao Bing didn't know that there was a wave of industry bosses approaching him, but this did not prevent him from being so shocked that his mouth grew wide at the moment, and he was almost able to stuff eggs into his mouth.

When he asked Xie Yunfei to investigate the information of these shipwrecks, he knew that these shipwrecks contained cultural relics from the country of Hua that the Eastern Army had taken away after the brutal looting of the country, but he did not expect that these large water tanks he randomly fished back , unexpectedly precious to this extent.

"This is called a gold-plated copper vat, which was cast in the Qing Dynasty. These large vats have a wide belly, a narrow mouth, and a huge capacity. They are called 'Men Hai'."

"The so-called Menhai, as the name suggests, is the sea in front of the door. In the old days, there was no such concept as a fire department. They would set up several large tanks in their homes and fill them with water. Once a fire broke out, they would take water from these large tanks to put out the fire. Therefore, the water The cylinder is also known as the auspicious cylinder and the peaceful cylinder."

"There are three kinds of Taiping vats in the Forbidden City. In addition to gilded copper vats, there are also iron vats and copper vats, but in terms of specifications, they are of the highest level. These gilt copper vats were originally displayed in the emperor's court. On both sides of the Hall of Supreme Harmony where the government is discussed, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, and the Qianqing Gate where the imperial gate listens to politics."

"These gilded copper vats are expensive to build. A large vat like this weighs two tons. The casting cost alone is as high as 500 taels of silver. It uses thousands of kilograms of copper and nearly a hundred taels of gold on it. The casting is quite fine and exquisite. At that time, it could be said to be the pinnacle of smelting and casting technology.”

"It is precisely because of the dazzling golden light of these large water tanks that the invaders who rushed into the Forbidden City to loot wantonly took a fancy to these magnificent gilded copper tanks at a glance. The gold was scraped off, but later I saw that it was too troublesome to scrape off, so I simply moved the tank away.”

"So there are only 18 such gilt copper cylinders left in the Forbidden City, and the rest were stolen by the great powers, and the 18 surviving cylinders were also severely damaged, all of which were scratched by bayonets. mark."

The one who introduced these gilded copper vats to Ao Bing was the older one among the new experts who arrived this time. He touched these large water vats now, his eyes filled with tears, and his tone was a little Very choked.

The situation has changed in 600 years. The paint skin of the palace gates of the Forbidden City has already peeled off in the wind and rain. The magnificent high walls are white and faded, and the locks are rusty and mottled. Save one.

Who would have expected that one day, this palace could wait for the return of these lost gilt copper vats?

After being silent in the sea for dozens of hundreds of years, these gilt copper vats came out of the water again and reappeared in the sky. They are still dazzling, even in the dim night light, they still cannot conceal her dazzling brilliance.

Not only this old expert, but also other staff members are full of solemnity. If the essence of Chinese civilization in the Palace Museum is concentrated, then these gilt copper vats are the witnesses of the invaders who burned, killed and looted back then. .

The return of these big vats is definitely a great joyous event for Chinese civilization, but their appearance is undoubtedly a process of reopening the scars and recalling the history. In these cultural relics, we can feel the silent accusation and bitter condemnation of the war.

Ao Bing listened carefully to the old expert's explanation of these gilt copper vats. After listening, he thought about it carefully. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. The box turned out.

After he brought the box over, he opened it in front of the old expert.

"This... was fished together with these large water tanks. There are a total of 14 boxes sealed with wax. The style, weight and even the sealing method are the same. I reckon that all of them should be filled with this stuff. I didn't understand what these gold scraps were at first, but after hearing what you said just now, I probably also guessed what they are."

The old expert lowered his head and saw that the leather box was full of gold shavings, his heart was shocked, and his face was full of disbelief.

"This is--"

Carefully, the old man gently pinched some of the fine gold flakes with his gloved hands, twisted them, and then put them down again. He asked Ao Bing to cover the box carefully, so as not to cause problems, and asked the people under his hands to put it back on. The boxes are numbered and bagged and sealed.

"These are the gold flakes scraped from the surviving 18 large vats in the palace, and they were done by those shameless robbers!" The old expert said with a heavy but affirmative tone, trembling all over.

Ao Bing thought to himself that it was true.

In addition to the gold-plated copper cylinders, there are also bronze lamp pavilions and bronze cannons that were salvaged from Yokohama Port. These were the infrastructure that existed in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace back then. As a result, because they were made of copper, they were invaded at that time. The attackers forcibly pried them off and robbed them. The purpose of looting these things was just to bring them back to the country to remelt guns and weapons.

Ao Bing brought back more than 20 gilt copper vats, a bronze cannon and more than 30 copper lamp kiosks this time. These things alone required several large trucks to load them.

However, after the experts inspected these large copper castings, they turned their attention to the things that Ao Bing dug up in the area around the harbor in Kyoto.

When they saw the bronze wares and jade carvings, these experts made some guesses. After counting the names of these objects, they had already considered notifying Jinling. After the box was taken out and opened in front of the experts, these experts couldn't sit still anymore!

"Call the big leader again, and the person in charge at Zhoukoudian must come down together. It is best to notify the people in the anatomy room of Union Medical College Hospital. We alone can't handle this matter. We must get these people out as soon as possible." The notification is in place, come over as soon as possible!"

The expert excitedly yelled at the person in charge of the liaison with the leaders.

The person in charge was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly took out his mobile phone to call the big leader.

Ao Bing didn't know, so he hurriedly asked what was so special about the things in the box.

The expert turned his head and looked at Ao Bing with complicated eyes. He never expected that the person who brought back these things would be a layman who didn't understand the value of these cultural relics. However, this child still knows the seriousness, and instead of dealing with these things in private, he simply contacted the higher-ups, otherwise, no one can guarantee whether these things will go to other places after another twists and turns.

The old expert couldn't help stretching out his hand and patted Ao Bing's shoulder, solemnly saying:

"My child, thank you. I thank you on behalf of the people all over the country. The things you handed in this time will benefit the whole of China for generations to come. You are a hero of flower growers!"

Ao Bing was still in the fog at this moment, and the old expert refused to explain any more, and only let Ao Bing guess wildly, which depressed Ao Bing who was curious.

It was another young man at the side who saw that Ao Bing really didn't understand the origin of those bones, so he sneaked up to Ao Bing and whispered a reminder.

But it was this simple reminder that caused Ao Bing's face to change suddenly.

No wonder the expert said to notify the Zhoukoudian when he yelled at the person in charge. Who would have imagined that these two boxes contained the skull fossils of Peking Man and the vertebrae, pelvis and scapula specimens of Cave Man? !

It's no wonder that Ao Bing didn't know. Although the original body was a top student, he was a science student after all. His knowledge in the subject of history was relatively weak. Later, after Ao Bing merged the broken pieces, he only remembered what was introduced in the history book. The Zhoukoudian Peking Man site and caveman fossils were unearthed, but they didn't know that these fossils were intercepted by the Eastern Army during the war more than 70 years ago, and then these fossils disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown.

So he never thought about matching these bone specimens with the fossils of the Peking Man and the cave man in his memory.

Ao Bing felt that standing in this yard was like a fool, he didn't understand anything, he was only in the way, so he simply stood in the corner and minimized his sense of existence.

However, after this experience, he also knows the importance of learning more about charging. Before, he thought about adding another subject to himself, dabbling in more books related to history and antiques. After this time, he became more sure. I have to do this, otherwise sooner or later, I will make other jokes.

Moreover, if you don't know these things, you can't be sure which are national treasures that need to be handed in, and which are tradable antiques that you can privately collect. He will find more treasures on the bottom of the sea in the future, and he will only be left blind .

Here, Ao Bing's mind was spinning quickly, and he was already planning and planning for his next plan. After consultation, the experts over there decided to contact the Cultural Relics Bureau in Jin City to free up a place for them as soon as possible. Larger warehouses come out.

These things can no longer be placed in this dilapidated yard with only a layer of stones. When they first came in, these experts saw that Ao Bing had placed these cultural relics in such a big way on the pitted ground. His eyes twitched and his heart ached, but he still couldn't reprimand Ao Bing for his rudeness and negligence. After all, he was an unprecedented hero in taking back so many national treasures. How could the people present here have the right to reprimand him? ?

It's just that this is a national treasure after all, and these experts can't bear to be treated so roughly. The most urgent task is to move these cultural relics to a cleaner and level place as soon as possible, otherwise, if these things are knocked and damaged in this yard, it will be 01 :30 o'clock, then they will definitely feel bad, and if the leaders above are to be held accountable, none of them can afford it.

And they are also worried that if the weather changes suddenly, if there is a sudden heavy rain, these cultural relics may be damaged, and they have to move to a sheltered and safer house to rest assured.

So Director Hao and Xie Yunfei soon received the notice, and temporarily arranged a vehicle to come down to meet with them. Director Hao and Xie Yunfei also rushed to the door of Ao Bing's shop.

After seeing clearly the items placed in the backyard, Director Hao had been mentally prepared, and now he couldn't help his heart beating wildly, his blood pulsed, his pupils dilated, and his pupils trembled.

The bureau chief finally knew why Ao Bing asked him for the phone number of the big leader in the afternoon.

At the same time, I also understood what the boy meant by the meaningful words.

At that time, Director Hao only felt that Ao Bing was a little ignorant of the heights of the sky and the earth. After he got two self-built houses in their bureau, he dared to imagine the house in Beijing. It was a bit too ignorant of scale.

Director Hao is very optimistic about this kid Ao Bing, so he doesn't want this kid to be rejected by the higher-ups for this little money. He originally wanted to go back and find time to talk to this kid and say a few words, don't let this kid turn over in a single thought. Stupidly went the wrong way.

But now, Director Hao was only dumbfounded when he saw the yard full of things.

It's not this kid who is stupid, it's clearly him, okay?

No wonder this kid dared to covet the house in the capital even though he swore so hard. If it were him, he would definitely be more daring than Ao Bing. With so many good things in his hands, he would definitely maximize the benefits of these cultural relics.

These are all national treasures, and every one of them is hard-won, let alone a house in the capital, even if he asks for a manor in the capital, the higher-ups will find a way to satisfy it, right?

Director Hao is in a very complicated mood at the moment. He knows that he has lost his sight again. Before he knew that Ao Bing was capable, he expected that this guy would definitely not be someone in the pool in the future, and he still wanted to make friends with him, maybe In the future, there will be a day when he asks this kid, but he didn't expect that this kid's soaring speed is so fast, he didn't even realize it, and the things that this kid has tossed are getting bigger and bigger. Worshiping, I'm afraid I can't find any other adjectives to describe my mood at this moment.

In the past few times, Ao Bing discovered that the cultural relics of the sunken ship on the seabed were all in the domestic waters. Moreover, the preciousness of those cultural relics was not comparable to the things that Ao Bing brought back to China this time. So last time, except You Hongchang and Professor Kang Yuping brought people down to deal with them. Besides, people from other departments were not alarmed.

But this time is different. Just the dozens of gilded copper vats and bronze cannons in the bronze lamp pavilion are enough to shock the Forbidden City, not to mention the bronzes and bronzes that were snatched from Jinling. Jade ornaments, as well as the Peking Man and caveman fossils discovered at the Zhoukoudian site, these skeletons were labeled "high-level secrets" and sealed in the safe at the dissection room of the Union Medical College Hospital.

In short, any one of these items is enough to cause a sensation in the whole country and even the whole world, but now they all appear in the backyard of Ao Bing, a small ornamental fish shop. The big leaders of the department, that is, the Palace Museum, Xiehe Hospital and Jinling Museum, are all crazy, multi-party linkage, hundreds of people at the National People's Congress can't even sleep at night, they packed their things all night and rushed to Jin City .

The media with a keen sense of smell noticed the undercurrent in Beijing at night, and even took pictures of a long special police convoy dispatched. It's not stupid, even the deployment of armed special police must involve the national level, so before getting the exact news, these media can only keep the material, and no one dares to act rashly.

On the contrary, some ordinary people or self-media don’t know the seriousness. After seeing the special police car speeding wildly on the highway, they took photos without knowing the seriousness, and uploaded them on the Internet to ask what happened. Is there going to be a war?

As a result, as soon as such photos and texts were uploaded to the Internet, they were blocked and harmonized not long after.

Compared with the rush of the expert group and the Jin City Cultural Relics Bureau, and the turmoil of those relevant personnel who rushed to Jin City, Ao Bing became the only outlier among the group of insiders.

He is the one with the most relaxed and leisurely mood among these people. He watched with his own eyes the staff of the Bureau of Cultural Relics numbering and counting the cultural relics in these courtyards. Ao Bing also checked the items on the form one by one. After signing and handing over, he completely became a hands-off shopkeeper, yawned and went straight back to the second floor where the studio is located. As for how to transport the huge pile of objects in the backyard, that is not his business. Well, it's up to the Bureau of Cultural Relics to do whatever they want. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with him.

Everything else is fine, except for those large gold-plated copper water tanks, each of which weighs nearly two tons, and it is definitely impossible to move them with normal manpower, unless a crane is used to hoist the large tanks to a large truck In the body.

So Director Hao has no choice but to search the whole city at night, find someone to contact to see if he can find a crane driver who works at night, temporarily hire a crane that can drive in from the backyard gate, and take these gold-plated copper The cylinder was transported away urgently.

The roar of the crane at night woke up the residents in the surrounding area. Some people called the police to complain about disturbing the residents. Armed special policemen stood at the door with guns and live ammunition, and cordoned off the outside. The policeman's expression changed instantly in fright, and he ran back to the duty room of the police station in a frenzy.

But when he received a call for complaints, the policeman could only cry and explain with a face. He couldn't say that someone might be performing a special mission over there, so he could only open his eyes and talk nonsense, trying to appease the irritable people as much as possible, and his forehead was about to sweat down,

Fortunately, the noise of the crane here did not last long, and it took only two hours for all the gold-plated copper vats to be sent to the car to be transported away. High-speed, soon to rush to the urban area of ​​Jin City, Director Hao waved his hand, and immediately rushed to the Cultural Relics Bureau with these large trucks of cultural relics escorted by special police.

Other staff quickly followed, and soon all the people in the yard were evacuated, and the huge backyard finally completely returned to calm, leaving only the deep ruts left by the cranes and trucks.

Ao Bing, who was meditating cross-legged on the sofa in the studio, opened his eyes. After thinking for a while, he took out the dowry box from the sunken ship in Yokohama Bay from the mustard seeds.
