finally reached.
Uncle Geng quickly ran to contact his niece. Taking advantage of this time, Wang Ke stood in front of Long'en Hall and began to introduce Professor Wen and Ye Rongguang. In this area of the cemetery, the main hall at the front is called Longen Hall.
Wang Ke started from the five-hole stone arch bridge at the far end and went north along the central axis, introducing the five-hole archway gate, the Shinto stele pavilion, and the three-way three-hole stone arch bridge one by one.
"What we are standing on now is Long'en Gate. It is the same as Muling, but it is slightly different in scale and etiquette." Wang Ke said, pointing to the left and right with his hand, and continued: "A row of side houses on both sides. In the past they were called court room and class room."
Professor Wen nodded with satisfaction, but Professor Ye Rongguang was even more surprised. This boy talks about the royal etiquette of the cemetery, and it is very precious. There are not many young people who love learning like this.
At this time, Uncle Geng and his niece walked over quickly. After saying hello, Yinggu took out the key and opened the door.
The group of people filed into Long'en Hall, turned around, and climbed onto the mute wall at the back.
Two staff members in plainclothes came out.
"This is an archaeological expert from Jinmen University. I have already told the leaders below." Yinggu stepped forward to explain, then turned around and said to everyone: "This is a comrade sent by the Public Security Bureau of our county, who is on duty day and night. "
Wang Ke stuck out his tongue. In just a few days, such a big change had occurred. Now he has the cooperation of the police.
When we came to the robbery cave, as always, the thick hemp rope and the wire were still dragging in the cave. The difference is that the hole was slightly enlarged and an awning was built above it.
"Is this where you go down?" Professor Wen pointed to the entrance of the cave and raised his head to ask Ying Gu.
"yes!"
Except for Wang Ke and Gu Maolin, everyone shook their heads. Then, everyone started to climb down.
Entering the tomb, Wang Ke was surprised to find that a temporary ladder had been set up below the robbery cave, and a dozen large light bulbs had been installed in the long corridor, making the entire tomb brightly lit.
The floor of the tomb corridor was as clean as ever, as if it had been swept. The broken porcelain pieces and torn calligraphy and paintings on the ground are gone.
Wang Ke couldn't help but look around, trying to find the black stone he hadn't taken away. Where was it? All the way to the foot of the Vajra wall was clean, glowing brightly under the light.
"Platoon leader, what are you looking for?" Gu Maolin stepped forward and asked.
"Look carefully to see if there is a pillow-like black stone." Wang Ke said, gesturing with his hands.
Entering the fourth stone door, Wang Ke looked down and saw that even the natural stone on the top door had been moved to the corner. On the treasure bed, the leg bones of the emperor and his concubine had been stuffed in. The two coffins were also covered and moved on the treasure bed.
It was the same middle-aged man in blue overalls and glasses. When he saw Wang Ke and the others coming in, he immediately stepped forward to greet them. "Who is Professor Wen from Jinmen University?"
When Professor Wen, who was wearing leggings, heard this, he immediately responded: "I am, causing you trouble. You are..."
"I am from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau. You are welcome to come and give me guidance."
When colleagues meet colleagues, there is endless talk. After some pleasantries, Professor Wen introduced Professor Ye Rongguang and Dr. Viper Xiao Zhang and Ye Qianpian to everyone.
Only then did Wang Ke know that the cleanup here was nearing completion. Just from the golden well under the emperor's coffin, more than 280 treasures were taken out, which the tomb robbers may not have expected at all.
"Alas! It's a pity that the youngest emperor didn't expect that he would be stolen less than thirty years after he was buried. And it was stolen together with his mother's cemetery. This is incredible."
"Then have you ever thought about the possibility that there is an insider?"
"Internal response? Is there any need to think about it? There must be, otherwise if the tapstone really falls, who can open it?" said a comrade from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau. He has been cleaning up here for a week and has the most say. "Also, without anyone's guidance, the design of this thief hole would not have been so exquisite and could easily bypass the diamond wall."
"Yes, yes, our two comrades from the People's Liberation Army have discovered the marks left by the internal forces on the screen wall outside." Professor Wen added after what the comrade from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau said.
"Ah? There is such a thing?" The comrades from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau were very shocked, because the two People's Liberation Army soldiers in front of them looked familiar because they had been here at the beginning, but they did not understand how they knew.
"Yes, we found two places on the screen wall, and..." Wang Ke hesitated.
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, it doesn't matter, just say it."
Wang Ke looked at Professor Wen and plucked up the courage to say, "We also found it in Mulingli."
"What mark?"
When Wang Ke mentioned Muling, comrades from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau immediately became nervous. Although this kind of mark has passed for decades, it is still a hidden danger. At present, we only know that there was an insider involved in the theft of the tomb, but we still don’t know how this insider passed on the secrets in the tomb.
"Let's go, I'll show you." Wang Ke was excited. Finally, his discovery was taken seriously by the relevant management departments. This is very remarkable.
When everyone heard that Wang Ke had found the mark of a tomb robber, they all wanted to see what kind of mark it was. They immediately climbed up the ladder and climbed up again from the robber's cave.
Arriving behind the screen wall, Wang Ke first pointed to the scratches on a brick and said, "This is it."
Comrades from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau laughed when they saw it. To say this is a mark would be too far-fetched. Whether this mark was there when it left the factory or was engraved on it by someone later, I really can’t say.
But before he could speak, Wang Ke pointed to the middle one of the three scratches and said, "Follow the middle scratch, look here."
Wang Ke came to the cross-section of the east side of the screen wall. This is a blind spot and ordinary people cannot get here. There are still three scratches here, and the connecting line in the middle points to the robbery hole.
At this time, not only Professor Wen was dumbfounded, but also the comrades from the Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau were dumbfounded.
Can we still say that Wang Ke’s discovery is not important? Is it far-fetched?
After being stunned for a long time, a comrade from the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau asked: "Comrade from the People's Liberation Army, did you say that such scratches were also found in Muling?"
Wang Ke nodded.
Professor Wen hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Yes, we have seen this kind of mark on the stone bridge on the Yudai River in Muling and on the Stone Five Gong."
When Professor Wen said this, the comrades of the Provincial Cultural Relics Administration were stunned again. The two places were so far apart that it was almost impossible to find a connection.
When Professor Wen said this, he stopped covering up. "I asked Lao Geng to ask his superiors for instructions, because we have discovered that there is a problem with a water-avoiding beast in Yudai River, and we want to try digging it."
"It's not a big problem. I'll make a call to their county." The comrade in charge of the Hebei Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau immediately agreed. If he made the call, it would definitely save a lot of cumbersome procedures.
Professor Wen was about to thank him when the comrade said: "Without further ado, just wait for me. I will finish the work here tomorrow. The next step is to organize the Chongling Mausoleum and officially open it to the outside world. As for me, I will try to work with you the day after tomorrow." , it’s the day after tomorrow, I’ll go to Longquanzhuang to find you, and we’ll go take a look together.”
"That's great." Professor Wen looked at it happily. This was the biggest gain today.
After chatting for a while, Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang were ready to leave. They had seen everything they should see and could no longer see what they shouldn't.
"Professor Wen, please stay and have lunch together."
"We are all a family. You are welcome. You continue to be busy. We will continue to communicate when we have time. Besides, we have an inspection mission in Longquanzhuang, and we need to make some preparations when we go back today." Professor Wen insisted on leaving, and he and his group It can only add chaos here.
"Then it's agreed, we'll see you the day after tomorrow."
Farewell to the comrades from the Provincial Cultural Relics Administration Bureau, Wang Ke took Professor Wen and Ye Rongguang around again inside and outside the cemetery. Ye Xianzhan took a photo of everyone. Then he reluctantly left the cemetery, and poured boiling water at Uncle Geng's niece's house before embarking on the return journey.
"Xiao Wang Ke, what day is it today?" Professor Wen suddenly asked. When he arrived at Longquanzhuang, he had already forgotten what day it was.
"Today should be Sunday! Godfather Wen, are you hungry?" Wang Ke asked.
"What's the meaning?"
"If you are not hungry, we will rush to the interference group and eat again."
"Interference group?" Professor Ye Rongguang was probably hearing this organization and number for the first time, and he was very surprised.
"This is a new unit of our army, the electronic countermeasures group." Gu Maolin added, Gu Maolin was happy when he mentioned the jamming group. They were all female soldiers.
"Oh, are you familiar with it?" Professor Ye Rongguang reacted. This is a mysterious force that fights with electronic wavelengths.
"It's familiar. It's on the way we just came here. We happened to go there to buy some things." Wang Ke didn't want to explain more. Everyone understood what the reaction was.
"Okay, let's hurry up."
No matter how fast we seize the time, it's almost one o'clock in the afternoon by the time Wang Ke and his party arrive at the interference group.
Standing outside the gate, Wang Ke said to the female soldier on guard: "Please help contact Captain Wang of your third company and say that a man named Wang Ke is looking for her."
"Okay, please wait."
The sentry called, and Wang Ke turned back to Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang and said: "Captain Wang of their third company is very nice. We will go to their kitchen for dinner later."
"It's true, the girls here are so nice." Uncle Geng also agreed. He once had a meal here with the reconnaissance team.
"Platoon Commander Wang Ke, sister is here!" With a crisp laugh, Company Commander Wang with short-haired ears turned the corner and ran over.
Wang Ke didn't dare to joke in front of everyone. He quickly saluted Captain Wang through the gate fence. "Comrade company commander, Wang Ke is here to harass us again."
Only then did Professor Wen and Professor Ye Rongguang discover that Captain Wang was actually a woman.
Opening the door, Captain Wang welcomed everyone in. Wang Ke quickly introduced them one by one.
"Have you eaten yet?" Captain Wang asked as he walked.
"We brought dry food and we just borrowed it from your canteen for use."
"No, I'll ask Gao Min to make some hot food for you, so you can save the dry food." Captain Wang was very hospitable and said in a familiar manner.
Ye followed behind, feeling a little sad but not daring to be presumptuous. He quietly asked Wang Ke: "Brother Bing, why is she so familiar with you?"
"Comrade, ouch." Wang Ke shouted, and Ye Qianqian pinched his arm hard.
"Platoon leader, what's wrong with you?" Gu Maolin from behind heard the sound and ran up quickly.
"It's okay, I sprained my foot. After you get to the kitchen, immediately go to the service center and buy things as I arranged." Wang Ke took out the money from his pocket without even thinking about it, took out thirty yuan and handed it to To Gu Maolin.
"yes!"
"By the way, Captain Wang, can I ask you for a favor? I can borrow five military kettles and I will return them after a while." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he no longer dared to stay next to Ye Pianpian and hurriedly lined up with Captain Wang. .
"There is no problem at all. Also, Platoon Commander Wang, you came just in time today. I originally wanted to send someone to find you. We want to hold a caucus activity next Wednesday. Can we visit your cemetery in Longquanzhuang?"
Next Wednesday? Today is Sunday, isn’t it the day after tomorrow?
"Okay, I think there should be no problem, right? Uncle Geng, is that okay?" Wang Ke turned around and asked Uncle Geng who was following behind.
Does Uncle Geng have the right to speak? Looking at a group of amiable People's Liberation Army soldiers, he could only nod.
