Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 292
On the second day, Huang Dazhi seized the opportunity and went alone to the place where he was arrested last time.

It was in a village in Wangqiao Town. Although it was a village, the gambling house was not in the village, but in a mountain near the village.

Someone built a simple house in that mountain, usually used to store firewood and no one lives in it. When there are more people gambling at the end of the year, the dealer will call the gamblers here.

Not long ago, there was an arrest here, and the dealer and some gamblers were arrested. Now when Huang Dazhi came, there was no one here.

That's right!

The mountain road is not easy to ride a bicycle. Huang Dazhi pushed it uphill. Now he put the bicycle aside and walked into the house by himself.

The room was messy, and there were some playing cards scattered on the ground. Those gamblers played poker before.

The pits on the ground are still there, and they have been dug loosely and messily.

Maybe it was because he was afraid of being contaminated by rumors. People from the nearby villages probably hadn't come in yet. Huang Dazhi looked around and picked up a wooden stick. Some loess was stuck to one end of the stick, which was used for digging.

He bent down and began to rummage carefully with a wooden stick.

The house is poorly built, the walls are made of mud bricks, but the ground is not hardened with cement, it is directly loess, the doors and windows here are not large, and the lighting is not good, but there are scattered candle ends and candle drops in the house There are traces of falling candle oil, obviously when gambling, the dealer will light candles for lighting.

Although the lighting was not good, it was daytime and Huang Dazhi had good eyesight. The light coming in through the doors and windows was enough to search for things in the pit.

He rummaged around with a stick, but found nothing.

In order to find all the gambling money before, the police had already dug this hole very big and deep.

But because of the existence of the jade pendant, Huang Dazhi was not discouraged, but searched for it inch by inch.

Finally, Huang Tian paid off, Huang Dazhi found another piece of jade pendant in the soil, it looked like a pair with the previous one, but this piece was broken, only half of it.

Although disappointed, Huang Dazhi searched harder after harvesting.

He has a lot of strength, even though the wooden stick is not as useful as a hoe, he still digs vigorously. After searching, he finally found another topaz in the shape of a lying cow.

The reclining cow was covered with mud, Huang Dazhi wiped it with his sleeve, and then he saw clearly that it was a cow.

As for the quality of the craftsmanship and the quality of the jade, he didn't know about it, but he was still happy. He felt that he might be about to get rich.

He had searched almost the entire house, except for a piece of broken jade pendant and a topaz lying cow, Huang Dazhi had nothing else to gain.

He put the things in his arms and walked out the door.

There was still no one around, so Huang Dazhi heaved a sigh of relief, walked to the place where the bicycle was placed, and rode his bicycle down the mountain.

While Huang Dazhi was digging hard here, Gao Mingcheng didn't rest.

He carried two catties of wild pork and found a person.

This person, with whom he once met, but has not met since then, is Director Wang of the Cultural Relics Management Office.

Gao Guobing and Director Wang had some personal relationships. Gao Mingcheng told Gao Guobing about the tomb robbers going to the mountains to rob tombs. Gao Guobing notified Director Wang first after arresting the tomb robbers.

It's just that this matter is bigger. When the ancient tomb was dug later, Bureau Chen from the police station and Bureau Lu from the Cultural Bureau also came together.

The tomb robbery case will help both Gao Guobing and Director Wang in their careers. I heard Gao Guobing mention it before, and Director Wang can go a step further when Bureau Lu retires.

Although I have heard about the deeds of Director Wang, Gao Mingcheng and Director Wang have not met since then because the two sides have not had more intersections.

Now, in order to determine whether the jade pendant obtained by Huang Dazhi is an antique or not, and whether it is worth money, Gao Mingcheng decided to meet with Director Wang.

He was carrying two catties of pork, and with Gao Guobing's connections, it would not be difficult at all to talk to Director Wang.

Sure enough, after he reported the identity of Gao Guobing's nephew, he soon met Director Wang.

For a cultural relics management office in a small place, this is a very clean position. I have nothing to do at ordinary times. I only drink tea and read newspapers at work.

Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "I got some wild boars in the mountains yesterday, and I sent some to my uncle in the afternoon. At that time, my uncle said that I should send some to Director Wang."

"This wild pork is not firewood. It is delicious when stewed. Director Wang, you can go home and eat it at night."

Gao Mingcheng said it very politely, Director Wang also accepted the favor and accepted the things.

After exchanging pleasantries, Gao Mingcheng went straight to the topic: "Director Wang, have you cleared out all the ancient tombs you dug in Niuweiling last year? The village said that the ancient tombs were left by the ancestors, so I'm curious about all the ancient tombs in it. There is something. Can you take me to see it?"

Gao Mingcheng didn't take out the jade pendant directly, but asked to see what was in the ancient tomb dug out last year.

Director Wang didn't hesitate, because Gao Mingcheng's status was very strong, and the request was not too excessive, so he naturally agreed.

So Director Wang took Gao Mingcheng to the warehouse where the antiques are kept.

The reason why it is a warehouse is because the museum in the county has not yet been built. The plan was proposed, but it was not built until 92, and then these stored antiques will be sent to the county museum.

Naturally, the conditions of the warehouse were not good enough, far from the conditions for preserving valuable antiques.But fortunately, the things that a small county can have are not so expensive.

Gao Mingcheng saw that the shelves in the warehouse were full of objects, most of which were relatively rough, including some ancient ironware, bronzeware, carved bricks and tiles, as well as some pottery, porcelain and copper coins.There are even some old clothes piled in the corner.

"The things piled up on the shelf here are the things dug out of Niuweiling last year." Director Wang pointed to a shelf and motioned Gao Mingcheng to look at it.

Gao Mingcheng only took one look, then frowned.

In his previous life, he and the tomb robber opened the coffin and divided up the funerary goods inside, so he knew exactly what was inside!
But now, the things on the shelf are obviously missing several of the most precious things!
He remembered that there was a book in the coffin, which was quickly taken away by the tomb robbers. At that time, he didn't know the traditional Chinese characters inside, and he didn't know the value of the book, so he didn't fight over it. But he saw a porcelain bottle. The porcelain vase is very beautiful, the porcelain body is very thin, and it can see through the sun, and the paintings on it are exquisite and beautiful.

Because the tomb robber took the book first, he took the porcelain vase, and the last porcelain vase was indeed very valuable.

But now, the books taken by the tomb robber and the porcelain bottle taken by him are not here.

"Director Wang... Are all the things here? These things don't look very valuable! The old people in the village say that the ancestors of our Gaojia Village were officials and gentry, and they were very rich." Gao Mingcheng wanted to confirm.

Director Wang smiled. He has a good relationship with Gao Guobing, and he naturally learned some history of Gaojia Village from Gao Guobing, so he said with a smile: "Your ancestors were indeed rich. After opening the coffin, we found several things in the coffin. It is a very valuable item, but it is a pity that our place is small, and there are few people who understand this field, and the technology of maintaining antiques is even worse. Therefore, after the Land Bureau reported the matter, the Municipal Cultural Bureau came to see the things. He just said that he would bring the things to the city, saying that we don’t have the conditions for that kind of research here.”

"However, those things were not taken away by the Municipal Cultural Bureau in the end, but by the Provincial Cultural Bureau! If you want to see it, you can only go to the museum in the provincial capital!"

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he could understand it. The first level of government officials crushed people to death, and when they encountered good things, who wouldn't want to get them to the place under their jurisdiction?After getting it away, it can be regarded as his own political achievements.

Not to mention porcelain, calligraphy and painting antiques, if there are no conditions for research, it is indeed difficult to preserve, and it is impossible to accurately extract some of the information inside.

Gao Mingcheng decided that if he had the chance in the future, he still had to go to the Provincial Museum to see if those things were really there.
