Zhentian coffin

In Shacheng, the supreme capital community, at the entrance of a detached villa, a group of people are politely chatting. Really these identities.

The so-called chatting and laughing are virtuous, and there is no white man. If the visitor is of such an extraordinary status, then the owner here is naturally the same. When the crowd dispersed, a gray-haired old man walked back to the villa with his hands behind his back, opened a thick security door, and entered the room.

There was no bed in this room, it was just a showroom, with rows of cabinets filled with all kinds of gadgets, all of which were his collections, dating from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and all of them were high-quality goods.

These things are the guarantee of his reputation. It is precisely because of these things that he has become famous in the circle of folk collections, and his stories are being circulated in the outside world.

For example, when he was still a teacher in college, he predicted that antiques would rise sharply in a certain period, so he bought them in advance, not only cut down on food, but even borrowed money to collect antiques.

As for the story of him going to the countryside to pick up leaks, it has inspired countless people who want to get rich. After all, in the illiterate countryside, you may buy a rare treasure with the price of cabbage. Isn't this what many people dream of, so in those years, he even triggered a Taobao craze.

Even the fact that he quit his job as a stable university lecturer and became a private collector full-time was widely talked about. In recent years, he has been praised by many people as a private appraisal expert, and even some TV stations have invited him to do the show.

But at this time, he didn't stop in the showroom. Before walking to a wall, he opened a painting, revealing the high-end state-of-the-art security door, which was leading to his personal treasure house.

This treasure house is located in the basement. The basement is poured with a one-meter-thick reinforced concrete wall. The thickness of the anti-theft door is more than ten centimeters thick and weighs several thousand catties. Even some bank vaults may not have his treasure. The treasury comes safe.

Except for himself, no one has ever entered this treasure house, even his son. When he walked into the treasure house, there were still a few high cabinets with a few things on display.

However, the value of these few items is extremely astonishing. All the collections displayed in the outer hall are not worth as much as the one here. He believes that if these treasures are made public, they will be the kind of sensation in the whole country, even if they are donated. For museums, it must be in the ranks of first-class national treasures, the kind that cannot even be exhibited abroad.

"That's all"

The old man looked at those treasures and lamented infinitely in his heart. The treasures back then could fill this small treasure house, but now, there are not even one in ten.

Looking at these treasures, his thoughts also returned to three or 40 years ago, when he saw with his own eyes various young generals ransacked his home, took away his ancestors' century-old collections, and smashed pieces of exquisite collections , Those bronzes were even returned to the furnace for calcination, and his father was so angry that he vomited blood and died.

And because he loved these antiques, he became an outlier among his peers. No one made friends with him. During the time when he went to the mountains and the countryside, he was even sent to the most difficult countryside. There are dozens of families in the village, and there are dozens of kilometers of mountain roads from the nearest town, most of which are small roads that can only be walked by one person.

In that village, he suffered so much and even wanted to commit suicide several times, but he survived and found a book in that village, a wonderful book about Fengshui. He almost got a thorough understanding of that book, and he didn't know until many years later that the book described the unique skill of Tianxing Fengshui in the Fengshui world, which was specially used to serve the imperial tombs, and it was very magical.

And his re-engagement with antiques is also a legend. Suddenly one day in his small mountain village, a few strangers from other places brought a letter of introduction to the village party secretary, saying that it was from the Survey Bureau. Explore some minerals.

In that kind of closed mountain village, almost no one was suspicious, so the village party secretary asked him and another villager to lead the exploration team. The reason why he was asked was because he was the only educated person in the village at that time.

He didn't think too much about it at the time, and did his best. However, by chance, he heard some conversations between those people, talking about gossip and the like, and some things were similar to what he saw in the feng shui book , and some were different, which immediately made him suspicious. After careful consideration, he suddenly realized that these people were not exploring for minerals, they were here to rob graves.

However, he pretended that he was not prepared to expose these people. He simply didn't want to take the risk. A month later, the exploration team returned disappointed, and he didn't take this matter to heart.

A few years later, the activities of going to the mountains and going to the countryside were over, and people with conditions were transferred back to the city one after another. He was the only one who seemed to be forgotten by the world.

In grief and indignation, he thought about the prospecting team. It turned out that when he was herding sheep, he had passed by the place that the surveying team had checked many times. Unknowingly, he remembered the knowledge in the Feng Shui book and discovered the mistakes they made. , the real ancient tomb is not in the one they dug at all.

On a dark and windy night, he acted alone, successfully found the ancient tomb that the exploration team wanted to find, took some jade treasures from it, and gave them to those who were in charge of dispatching them. Called back to town.

But at this time, he still didn't want to be a tomb robber. After returning to the city, he actively prepared for the exam and successfully entered the university. A few years later, he even became a teacher in the university. I feel that this will be the end of my life, and I will definitely become a respected university teacher.

However, things are unpredictable. At the end of the 80s, the social trend changed rapidly. Workers and teachers were no longer popular. The social status of the self-employed and industrial and commercial households was greatly improved. Everyone looked at money, and his salary was only a month. Less than 100 yuan.

What's more, the room was leaking when it rained overnight, and his wife gave birth prematurely. Not only was the child born weak and sick, but his wife was also suffering from various diseases. His little salary was not enough for anything, and the financial pressure was extreme.

One day, he heard a student talking about something. He said that some foreigners went to one of the students’ hometowns to invest in building a factory. Actually spent 500 yuan to buy that jar.

You must know that in those days, his salary as a university teacher was only less than 100 yuan, and 500 yuan was already a huge sum of money for the countryside, so this story spread quickly.

When he heard the news, he immediately thought of the ancient tomb in that small mountain village, so he inquired in private, and only then did he know that antiques are hot, the so-called gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, after decades of peace, antiques have been speculated by some It is getting hotter and hotter, and many foreign collectors have invested huge sums of money to collect domestic antiques.

So he made up his mind to take a share of this trend to solve the family's plight, so he followed suit, saying that antiques would become more and more valuable in the future, and that he would engage in some antique trading, etc., and On weekends, I went to the countryside to buy some things in person.

But in fact, he took the time to go back to that small mountain village, and moved out a lot of treasures from it, pretending that he bought them from the countryside, and sold them for a lot of money as soon as they changed hands, temporarily solving the family's plight.

After tasting this sweetness, he basically ignored the school affairs and went to the countryside every time. After the treasures in the ancient tomb in that small mountain village were emptied, he used the knowledge in the Feng Shui book to find other ancient tombs. .

After a few more years, he has become a well-known antique collector and resigned from his position as a university lecturer. On the outside, he looks like a serious antique dealer.

In fact, after several years of development, he has become the biggest tomb robber in the world, established his own team, and established a series of channels such as tomb robbery, smuggling, and money laundering. Sooner or later, something will happen, so he prepared several fake identities early on to hide the truth.

Sure enough, the increasingly rampant trend of tomb robbery attracted the attention of the country, and a special department was formed to combat tomb robbery. His team was the first to bear the brunt and was targeted by relevant departments.

However, he was extremely thoughtful, and had already set several early warnings. Before the special case team could act, he had already escaped, abandoned a group of old brothers, returned to society, and became his businessman.

For more than ten years in a row, no one has discovered his former identity, and he has been living a good life. He died for his wife and raised his son to become a useful person. He just wanted to carry his secrets into the coffin.

Unexpectedly, a few years ago, his son failed to start a business and owed huge debts. Facing the situation of his wife and children being separated, even his son was depressed and almost committed suicide. Even if all his collections on the surface were sold, it would not be enough to repay the debt. of.

He couldn't bear to see his son's miserable end, so he sold some of the treasures that he secretly hid back then, and lied that they were some of his treasures in the bottom of the box to help his son tide over the crisis.

But from that day on, he knew that he had committed a big taboo. He knew that he would be caught if he showed his tail this time. He thought hard about the clues that he might expose, and finally thought of money laundering. It's completely out of his hands.

Because this line of work requires an extremely professional professional level, he did not recruit talents in this field back then, so he had to find someone to cooperate with. That partner is extremely strong and has a huge influence overseas. It is precisely because of this that the other party has always existed. , On the contrary, it became his hidden danger.

Sure enough, just yesterday, I received the news that the financial problems of several companies that had been used as transfer funds for him were secretly investigated, and the retired old accountants who handled it were even missing. He knew that he had a good life The countdown is here.

"What should I do, should I wait to die or abscond..."

Looking at these treasures, his eyes fell into a blur, but soon, his eyes brightened again, because he thought of a better way.
