Chapter 345 Could it be the Imperial Tomb?
"Old Yang, bring me some delicious food. I have a friend who is here today. Give me some snacks, and then I have to make enough for me."

As soon as Xie Peng entered the store, he raised his voice and yelled loudly. When he heard this, he was a regular customer, but following his yell, a fat man came out and yelled loudly:

"Xie, old man, what do you mean? People don't know and think that my food here is short."

"Haha! Don't talk nonsense to me. Hurry up. This is my old friend for many years. Bringing it to you is to save your face. Who told you that the food here is delicious."

After Xie Peng finished speaking, he didn't care about Fatty Yang, and continued to walk in with Sun Ming and others.

The outside of the store does not look very eye-catching, but it is quite good when you walk inside. Behind the house is a row of small pavilions, and there are tables and chairs in each small pavilion. Everyone sat down in one of them. After a while, the food will be served.

A big pot, steaming inside, bursts like being in a sauna room, followed by a big pot.

"Come on, there's nothing special about this small place, it's just meat. This is what Fatty Yang is good at, a big pot of mutton, plus the wine he made himself in this jar!"

The meat was placed in a big basin, but the wine could not be a cup. There was a sea bowl in front of everyone. This posture made people feel arrogant.

The job of pouring wine must be done by a young man, because the jars delivered here are 30 centimeters in diameter and 40 centimeters in height, with wide mouth and round feet, and most people can't move them.

He slapped open the mud seal of the can, Fang Ming's back side, the wine poured out "squeaky" and fell into the bowl, although it looked a little cloudy, but a burst of wine smelled like fire.

Frowning, Fang Ming said, "Good wine! This wine must be quite strong!"

"You can only eat meat with strong alcohol! Come on, everyone, you are welcome."

Xie Peng held up his chopsticks and greeted everyone.

Fang Ming took a piece of mutton to his mouth. After chewing, he found that it was soft and chewy. What was even more rare was that all the flavors in the soup had penetrated into the mutton, and the aroma was immediately full after one bite. The whole mouth makes people feel that the whole world is a bit more beautiful.

Picking up the wine and taking a sip, it seemed like a knife and a fire rushed into his mouth, diluting the rich gravy in his mouth a lot, and the whole mouth seemed to recover all of a sudden All palates.

wonderful!This is really wonderful!
Fang Ming couldn't help secretly praising him.

Mutton is a kind of meat with a strong smell. If you want to cook it deliciously, you must add medicinal materials or special wool, but it is also because of this that eating too much mutton will make people feel greasy, so Most of them are eaten with wine.

The purpose of wine pairing is naturally to dilute the greasyness of the mutton. This wine is just like this. After taking a big mouthful of mutton, drinking such a sip of wine makes people regain their appetite for mutton all at once!

Xie Peng also became proud, and said: "Not bad, let me tell you, although this is a small place, there are still good things to eat. Just for this big pot of mutton, Lao Sun and Lao Liang, don't even think about it. Take me away and go to the big city you mentioned, how can I still eat such good food?"

Sun Ming and Liang Bo can be regarded as people who have traveled far and wide, but they have never eaten such mutton, and Sima Xiangqin and Ma Tian also ate it with great joy.

After a meal, the guests and the host enjoy themselves, and the tea served after the meal is also rough tea, but it is just right for the present.

After drinking a cup of tea, the breeze blows, and everyone is satisfied.

"Old Sun, you called earlier and wanted to know something about tomb robbery. You already know what your ancestors did, so I won't hide it from you. If you have any questions, please ask."

Xie Peng is a straightforward person. When Sun Ming called before, he had already explained his intentions, but now he was only discussing specific issues.

Sun Ming looked at Fang Ming. This idea was proposed by Fang Ming. I have to say that this idea is very interesting.

Tomb robbers have their own way, especially for people like Xie Peng who have been tomb robbers for generations-although Xie Peng is no longer in this industry, the experience accumulated in the past is definitely not a joke.

"It's very simple. I just want to know if there is a large group of tombs in this nearby area?"

There is nothing to be polite with Xie Peng, Sun Ming directly stated his purpose.

"No, there has never been a record of this in history, at least I have never seen it in the materials I have read."

Sun Ming was disappointed for a while, Xie Peng is the boss here, if he knows, then there will be a big problem.

Liang Bo also frowned, and said, "There is no such record in my memory."

Fang Ming frowned. Liang Bo is a famous historian, while Xie Peng is a local expert. Both of them now say that there is no such record in history, so it is estimated that there really is no such thing.

"But... the scale that Elder Sun has unearthed now is not small."

Fang Ming couldn't help interjecting. He had traveled all over the excavation site these days and was very familiar with it. It stretched for several kilometers in a radius. Such a large-scale area was completely unrecorded in history. A little too amazing.

"Old Xie, this is Fang Ming, who specializes in antiques, but he is a celebrity, and everyone in Ningdong City knows him now, and I think even in the antique circles across the country, many people already know his reputation. "

Liang Bo saw that Fang Ming had spoken, so he gave Xie Peng a brief introduction right away.

"Oh, it turns out that he is a master of antiques."

Xie Peng nodded, as if thinking of something, and said, "Let me answer your question first. In fact, such a thing has never happened before in the history of archaeology."

"Oh? What kind of situation would that be?"

Xie Peng said: "The suspicious tomb, here is a huge suspicious tomb, and it is likely to be a suspicious tomb that has been operated in the past dynasties, so the scale is quite large. Because it is a suspicious tomb, it is kept secret, so there is no record at all. Of course , this is just a statement.”

The person who can build such a large suspicious tomb must be a person of the first level of the prince. The tomb of such a person must be recorded, but it is difficult to say whether the place recorded is the real imperial tomb. The doubtful tomb built instead of this will naturally not appear in the records.

"Since this is the case, is it possible that this is the real mausoleum instead?"

As soon as Fang Ming finished speaking, everyone was stunned. This idea seemed unreasonable on the surface, but it was very possible when he thought about it carefully.

Suspicious tombs mean that they were built to hide the real mausoleum, which can be omitted from records in history, and it is not impossible to make fake ones come true.

Sun Ming's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Although he is an old man in archaeology, he has presided over countless excavations. It stands to reason that he should be quite calm, especially at this age, he should be more concerned about fame and fortune, but how easy is it to do this?

Imperial Mausoleum?

Sun Ming has never dug a tomb of this scale in his life!

Thinking about what Fang Ming said, and thinking about the scale that has been excavated now, who said it couldn't be the imperial tomb?
After a while, Sun Ming calmed down slowly, took a sip of tea, and said after taking a long breath: "This... really made you laugh, so excited."

Liang Bo shook his head lightly, and said, "Old Sun, if what Fang Ming said is true, it's hard not to be excited. We've been waiting for such an opportunity all our lives."

Xie Peng's eyes widened, and Fang Ming's words shocked him severely. He had never thought about this possibility, but it did exist.

The site where Sun Ming excavated was not far from him, and he naturally knew the relevant information. Apart from the possibility of suspicious tombs, judging from the scale, it was indeed likely to be the imperial tomb!
After a long time, Xie Peng shook his head and said: "Old Sun, what Lao Liang said is not wrong at all, if it is true..."

For their part, what they are after is no longer money. To put it bluntly or to put it a bit harshly, it is fame—once Sun Ming can excavate the imperial tomb this time, it will definitely be famous in archaeological history. This is what they value most now.

"Ah……"

Sun Ming collected himself and said, "This...the horoscope has not been written yet, so let's not talk about it for now."

Even though he said that, how could Sun Ming really calm down?This can be seen from his still flushed face.

"what!"

Liang Bo laughed loudly and said, "Old Sun, it's really rare to see you like this."

The two have been old friends for many years, and Liang Bo really has never seen Sun Ming worry about gains and losses like this.

Nodding with a wry smile, Sun Ming admitted, "Come on, forget it, let's discuss this matter."

"I have an idea, that is, the people here today form a committee to operate this matter, what do you think?"

Sun Ming's proposal was unexpected, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully. If it was really the imperial tomb, he would not be able to "gnaw" it alone.Because although Sun Ming has a high place in the academic world, the matter of excavating the imperial tomb is really too big, and it is impossible for him to hold the field alone.

But once a committee is formed and everyone's abilities are concentrated, there will be no problem.

Liang Bo is a great figure in the history field, while Xie Peng not only has a high academic status, but the key point is that he is a local leader, and many things will be easier to operate after he joins.

Although Sima Xiangqin is young, as far as Sun Ming knows, he is a well-connected person, and academically he is also the best among the younger generation.

Ma Tian is his student and the object to be trained.

Although Fang Ming is an antique player, since he came, he has put forward many angles and viewpoints that he couldn't think of. Maybe he will pin his hopes on him when he encounters difficulties in the future.

These people have their own strengths, and once they are combined, they are absolutely powerful!
