Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1247 Deduction

When Wang Zhai met Zhai, he had heard Zhai Pingqing talk about the protection scope, but he did not pay enough attention to it at the time. He thought that the cultural relics protection unit was just handling it according to the regulations. He did not know the specific situation. Now seeing the location map of the Han tomb and the surrounding planning, he could not help but frowned.

"What will happen if this Han tomb is proven to be a national heritage site?"

Qin Zhengyang opened a map of the protected area that he had simulated and sketched in advance: "Secretary Wang, I made this simulation map based on the relevant provisions of the Cultural Relics Protection Law and the division of other national-level cultural relics protection areas. Of course, this is demarcated according to the highest standards and is only for reference."

Wang Jianming pointed to the location of the new hospital of the Infectious Diseases Hospital and said: "According to your demarcation, part of the new hospital of the Infectious Diseases Hospital is included."

Qin Zhengyang said: "The main affected area is Qingshan Mine Ruins Park."

Wang Jianming said: "Qingshan Mine Ruins Park itself is a cultural relic protection area, so there is basically no impact."

Qin Zhengyang didn't say anything. It was not easy to fool Wang Jianming.

Wang Jianming said: "Another part has been allocated to the China-Korea Industrial Park. Xiao Qin, this Han tomb has existed for thousands of years and has been robbed so many times. How come it has suddenly become popular?"

Qin Zhengyang said: "As far as I know, the cause is that a certain online blogger with millions of followers posted a video of exploring a tomb. After the video was uploaded, it quickly became a hot search, which attracted many folk archaeology enthusiasts to explore the tomb. Suddenly, it attracted a lot of attention."

Wang Jianming said: "This Han tomb has no value at all, right?"

Qin Zhengyang smiled bitterly and said, "Secretary Wang, I am not a professional in this field. Whether it is valuable or not can only be known after the seminar tomorrow."

Wang Jianming said, "When Kangjian's CEO Zhai Pingqing came to me, he said that the hype about the Han Tomb was because someone was targeting him. I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems possible. Lu Ming's response to this matter was very timely."

Qin Zhengyang said: "He used to be in charge of Internet supervision, and preparing countermeasures in advance is also to prevent the formation of public opinion."

Wang Jianming said impatiently: "Since he is so good at Internet supervision, he should just stick to his main job."

Seeing that Wang Jianming was angry, Qin Zhengyang didn't dare to say anything more.

However, Wang Jianming quickly calmed down: "Secretary Xing will leave Dongzhou tomorrow morning?"

Qin Zhengyang nodded and said, "Yes, we will go to Haizhou early tomorrow morning."

Wang Jianming breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Xing Wenhu would not attend the seminar on Han Tombs tomorrow morning.

Qin Zhengyang said: "Secretary Wang, in fact, this protection map I drew is just based on the top grid. I think that Han tomb should not be able to be listed as a national cultural relic."

Wang Jianming said: "Cultural relics need to be protected, but economic construction also needs to develop. We must balance the two. We cannot lose the big picture for the small, and we must not give up because of choking."

Qin Zhengyang understood what Wang Jianming meant. Secretary Wang must have put economic construction first in his heart. Qin Zhengyang knew very well what caused this incident, but he couldn't say it clearly. Xu Chunliang was his brother, and he couldn't expose Xu Chunliang.

Qin Zhengyang thinks that Xu Chunliang is playing a bit too big this time. It is not the case that you can move the earth by giving you a fulcrum. It also depends on whether the bearing capacity of the fulcrum is strong enough and whether the lever in your hand is long enough. Anyway, in Qin Zhengyang's opinion, the Han Tomb of Xu Chunliang as a fulcrum is quite weak. After the demonstration meeting, the value of the Han Tomb will be revealed to the world. The leadership of Dongzhou will never damage the interests of investors for an ordinary Han Tomb.

In order to welcome Xing Wenhu's visit, Lu Ming arranged a clearing of the area around the Han Tomb, mainly because there were too many internet celebrities and bloggers who had come here recently to take advantage of the popularity.

When Xing Wenhu led the inspection team to the site, temporary fences had been installed around the Han Tomb and security guards had been specially arranged to guard it.

There were several archaeological experts from the Nanjiang Museum conducting an investigation at the site, but Xing Wenhu did not choose to go down into the tomb as he was very familiar with Lin Jianwei, the head of the expert group.

Lin Jianwei reported to him the current situation of the investigation. According to the preliminary judgment of the expert group, this Han tomb should be a tomb for a couple from the Western Han Dynasty. It has a two-bedroom and two-living room structure. Because it was stolen many times, it had long been completely looted and the Han Dynasty murals on the walls were also severely damaged. However, a relief on the floor of the main tomb chamber was preserved.

The reason why it is called a relief instead of a Han Dynasty mural is that based on the technique and inscriptions of this relief, this relief should be the work of a craftsman in the Ming Dynasty. This craftsman was very interested in Han Dynasty murals, so he copied the carving techniques in Han tombs and carved a picture of ascension on the ground.

When Lin Jianwei first heard that Han Dynasty murals were discovered on the ground in the Dongzhou Han Tomb, he found it incredible. After all, it was very rare to see Han Dynasty murals carved on the ground. Although the expert group had not been there for long, they had basically concluded that the Ascension Picture was definitely not a work from the same period as the Han Tomb.

Lin Jianwei showed Xing Wenhu a rubbing of a picture of ascension to heaven. Xing Wenhu lost interest after listening to him. He came to Dongzhou this time to support Xu Chunliang. He also arranged Lin Jianwei and his group of experts to come for investigation. Xu Chunliang talked about it in a grandiose way, but the reality was just an ordinary ancient tomb.

If the seminar concludes that this Han tomb has no archaeological value, even Xing Wenhu will feel embarrassed. Xu Chunliang, oh Xu Chunliang, what are you up to?

Xing Wenhu had to pretend to be very interested in rubbings and ask all kinds of questions in front of others. Although Lin Jianwei believed that this picture of ascension to heaven was of no value and was a copy by a Ming Dynasty craftsman, he still gave a serious explanation.

At this time, Xing Wenhu received a message from Xu Chunliang. He read the message and returned his gaze to the picture of the ascension to immortality: "You just said that the immortal riding a dragon is depicted in heaven, and the figures in the middle waterside pavilion are from the human world. Could it be that the pattern below is underground?"

Lin Jianwei said: "Almost the same. You see, the snake body in the sky and the red snake underground should express mutual transformation, implying resurrection from death and endless life. The murals found in Mawangdui also have this meaning."

Xing Wenhu asked, "So it's very valuable?" Lin Jianwei said, "It has some value." He said it very tactfully, which was actually equivalent to telling Xing Wenhu that it has no value.

Xing Wenhu asked: "But why is there a long dragon coiled underneath?"

After hearing what he said, Lin Jianwei looked down, thought for a while and smiled: "Secretary Xing, I have seen almost identical Han Dynasty paintings in the past. This stone carving is a replica of the Ming Dynasty craftsmen, and it is possible that some processing was added to it, imagining that there are scenes underground, but this imagination is also extremely limited."

Xing Wenhu asked: "What is the inverted triangle symbol below?"

"A pattern used for decoration."

Xing Wenhu said, "It seems to me like he is giving me directions. I am not a professional. Professor Lin, why do you think there are works of Ming Dynasty craftsmen in Han Dynasty tombs? Who would be so bored as to go to a robbed tomb and spend so much time carving a picture of ascension to heaven?"

“Maybe it’s just a hobby.”

"If it was a hobby, why didn't he choose a place with better lighting?"

Lin Jianwei was speechless after his question. Xing Wenhu did not start from the perspective of professionalism, but from the perspective of logic.

Xing Wenhu asked, "Do you think this stonemason from the Ming Dynasty would use this behavior to cover up his other secrets?"

Lin Jianwei said: "You mean..."

Xing Wenhu said: "I have visited a tomb within a tomb in the past. A Ming Dynasty tomb also contained a Warring States tomb. Do you think there are secrets under this Han Dynasty tomb?"

Lin Jianwei really admired Xing Wenhu's imagination. How could it be possible? But he was the leader, so he didn't dare to deny it. He thought for a while and said, "In fact, it is not complicated to verify this matter. We can just get a waveform detector to detect the situation below."

Xing Wenhu said: "Scientific investigations must be rigorous. You must demonstrate the spirit of engineers in minesweeping and not miss any details."

At this time, Xu Chunliang was drinking tea with Huang Wanglin. Huang Wanglin was drinking tea while looking at the information on the computer and exclaimed: "Chunliang, where did you get this information?"

Xu Chunliang said: "A friend provided it."

Huang Wanglin said: "If you hadn't told me, I really couldn't imagine that there was such a big secret hidden under the Han tomb."

Xu Chunliang said: "In fact, some files have always been there, but no one has paid attention to them and sorted them out."

Huang Wanglin said: "It seems that the expert group will soon make a discovery."

Xu Chunliang said disdainfully: "If they could have discovered it, they would have discovered it decades ago. If you don't ask, it won't be clear. If you don't turn on the light, it won't be bright."

Huang Wanglin laughed.

Xu Chunliang said: "Third Master, I need your help to light a fire."

Huang Wanglin said: "The tomb keepers of the Western Han Dynasty had tombs within tombs. I didn't expect that these materials were recorded in the archives of the Republic of China."

Xu Chunliang said: "You are highly respected in the industry. It will be more sensational if you release this information."

Huang Wanglin said with emotion: "Now I am looking forward to what I will find below."

"Don't expect too much. I think the picture of the ascension to heaven on the ground was carved by tomb robbers in the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Wanglin asked, "Is Pu Jian still in the dark?"

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm worried that he can't keep the secret. This kind of thing must be done step by step to achieve the desired effect."

Huang Wanglin already knew what effect Xu Chunliang wanted to achieve. According to the information, there is an even older tomb under the Han tomb, which is most likely the tomb of a noble from the State of Qi during the Warring States Period. According to Xu Chunliang's plan, the ancient tomb will soon be discovered by the expert group. A single ordinary Han tomb has become popular on the Internet, and it can be foreseen that the discovery of a tomb within a tomb will make its popularity rise to an unimaginable peak.

Based on the information Xu Chunliang gave him, Huang Wanglin has determined that this ancient tomb is at least a provincial level protected cultural relic. If it is preserved relatively intact, it may also be a national protected cultural relic.

Xu Chunliang did this for only one purpose, which was to stop the construction of the new infectious disease hospital. This was a fatal blow to Zhai Pingqing.
