The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 8 Unsolved Mysteries 30 Years Ago

On the way into the city, Lao Xu sent a key file, which has an automatic destruction function, and the viewing time limit is only 5 minutes.

Lin Shen skillfully entered the password to open the file, which recorded the internal investigation of the A·30 case 103 years ago.

The sensational case A·103 took place in Lin Shen's hometown, Yundu City.

***
Yundu is a well-known economic and trade special zone, surrounded by mountains and sea, with a unique geographical location.In ancient times, there was a saying that "North Mang and South Mo, hidden dragon energy, are the best in the world".

Beimang: Belongs to the branch of the Qinling Mountains, known as [Taibaiyuan] in ancient times, one of the dragon veins of the Eastern Continent, where the tombs of emperors and generals of several dynasties hide in Beimang.

Nanmo: Known as Nanlongmai in ancient times, it is composed of two mountain ranges, Baoxiang Mountain and Molong Mountain.

Yundu City is located in the hinterland of the plain between Baoxiang Mountain and Molong Mountain. The rushing Lanqing River passes through the plain land between the two mountains, flows through Yundu and merges into the sea.

Everyone in the world says that Yundu Tianfu is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is surrounded by rivers and seas.

Facts have proved that the words of the ancients are true.

In the early 80s, the archaeological team discovered a thousand-year-old tomb in Molong Mountain.

Experts preliminarily determined that the tomb was built during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with a history of more than 100 years.

At that time, Yundu was under the jurisdiction of the Southern Han Dynasty. The Southern Han Dynasty was known as "Xiaonanqiang" in history.

In the following archaeological excavations, the identity of the owner of the tomb was further confirmed, and he was Liu Qi, King Xuekang, a member of the royal family of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In the coffin of the owner of the tomb, in addition to the remains of King Xue Kang Liu Qi, 81 gold slips were also found, on which the "List of Funeral Objects" was engraved densely.

Xue Kangwang Liu Qifu was a party, obsessed with collecting antiques all his life, and his collections spanned more than [-] years from the Yin, Shang and Warring States to the Han and Tang Dynasties.All inclusive and priceless.

Before his death, King Xue Kang selected more than [-] exquisite works from his life collection as burial.

Once the tomb of King Kang was discovered, it caused a huge sensation in the archaeological world, and major media rushed to report.

Judging from the list of funerary objects recorded on the golden bamboo slips, the tomb of Kang can be regarded as a treasure house of historical relics.

The specifications of its treasures even surpassed many kings at that time. Any collection recorded on the golden slips is a priceless treasure. Once excavated successfully, it will be an unprecedented monument in the archaeological world.

At that time, the person in charge of the archaeological team was Lin Shen's grandfather, a famous archaeologist, Academician Lin Luming.

However, that archaeological excavation was not all smooth sailing, only a small number of cultural relics were unearthed, and most of the funerary objects recorded in the Jin bamboo slips were not stored in the surrounding tombs.

Lin Luming judged that the tomb of King Kang belonged to a series of tombs, and there were tombs within the tomb, which went deep layer by layer.

In order to prevent future generations from digging up tombs and stealing treasures, King Xue Kang scattered the burial chambers in several places and hid them deep underground.The passages connecting the burial chambers are intricate, true and false, and full of traps.

During the excavation, the archaeological team accidentally broke through a terrifying underground labyrinth, which caused the water in the underground river to flood back. Many people were injured, including Academician Lin, and their tombs were almost destroyed.

The archaeological excavation work was frustrated and had to be temporarily suspended.

Restricted by the technical conditions at the time, the archaeological team researched and reported that it is recommended to temporarily close the entrance to the ancient tomb, and restart the excavation work after the technical conditions are mature.

This hold is 7 years.

With the maturity of technical means, the excavation of King Xue Kang's tomb was restarted.

Academician Lin Luming took office for the second time and became the commander-in-chief of the archaeological team.

After a series of in-depth research before, this time, Mr. Lin accurately located 5 of the 2 burial chambers.

It took nearly a month to unearth more than 1 burial objects, each of which was an orphan treasure. Most of these burial objects were well preserved. After being registered and compiled, they were escorted by special trains to the Imperial Palace Museum for collection.

something unexpected may happen any time.

Just when the superior was preparing to celebrate and commend the archaeological team, an overseas media reported a piece of news.

On October 10 of the same year, several thousand-year-old oriental treasures were sold at a private rich man's auction held overseas.

Known are:

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a seal of Xue Kangwang Beast Niu Tianhuang, weighing 475.6 grams

A seven-treasure ivory round fan carved by Xue Kangwang's handwriting

Qingluan White Jade Purple Gold Vase Set of Seven with Kang Wang's Imprint on the Bottom
A pair of bronze goat palace lanterns of the Han Dynasty

……

Because of the limited information at that time, as far as the known auction items are concerned, they are more or less related to the Kangwang Treasure.

That Caslon rich man's auction sold a total of [-] million yuan, setting a record high in the history of Caslon's auction.

At that time, news reporting channels and means were relatively backward, and the source and credibility of the news needed to be further verified.

After many sources of understanding, the date of this overseas rich man's auction coincides with the timeline of the second archaeological excavation of King Kang's treasure.

What is puzzling is that a considerable part of the private treasures that appeared at the auction were funerary objects recorded in the "List of Funeral Objects of King Xue Kang".

Except for the Kangwang Beast Niu Tianhuang Seal and the White Jade Purple Gold Vase, the rest of the cultural relics have been unearthed in reality and are now stored in the Palace Museum.Why did it become a private collection and appear at the auction of Caslon Regal?
The answer is unknown.

Later, after many in-depth understandings, I finally obtained the graphic introduction of the relevant collections at the auction, and then compared them with the collections of the museum.

The appearance of the collection of the same name provided by private individuals at the auction is highly consistent with the collection unearthed from the tomb of King Kang.

Then the question arises, if the private collections that appeared at the auction of the wealthy Caslon are genuine, how can the collections of the Palace Museum be qualitative?
Which is true and false?

The truth is confusing.

Relevant departments set up an emergency investigation team.

As the person in charge of the archaeological excavation, Academician Lin accepted the investigation.

The results of the investigation finally confirmed that Academician Lin was innocent, and other members of the archaeological team were also cleared of suspicion.

Subsequently, the expert team identified the cultural relics unearthed and registered in Kangwang Treasure No. 1 and No. 2 burial chambers.

The results of the appraisal shocked everyone deeply.

Among the cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of King Xue Kang, more than half of the items are fakes forged by modern people.

During the excavation period, the cultural relics were sealed and registered as soon as they were unearthed, and sent to the museum by special train. The authenticity of the excavation site was not checked one by one.

If there is no news about the Caslon auction, everything is still in the dark.

Now it seems that the cultural relics of King Kang's treasure that appeared in overseas auctions are very likely to be genuine.

What kind of person is so daring, before the excavation of the ancient tomb started, sneaked into the ancient tomb to exchange the fake for the real.

For private wealthy auctions like Caslon, as long as the collection is authenticated as genuine, it can be put up for auction, and the auctioneer does not need to provide personal information.

As a result, the investigation and tracking have reached a deadlock.

As time goes by, to this day, everything is still an unsolved mystery.
