Chapter 154 Qin Hui’s Tomb, Burning the Tomb Chamber

"Let's go down together!"

Seeing Lin Chen's eagerness to try, Liu Yifan extended an invitation to Lin Chen.

He recognized Lin Chen's professionalism very much.

Going together will definitely help a lot.

As for whether Lin Chen will mess with the things in the tomb after he goes down, there is absolutely no need to worry.

Doesn't it mean that it is impossible to act recklessly in front of a live broadcast? Lin Chen's previous performance also proved that Lin Chen would not do such a thing.

"Okay!"

Lin Chen had this intention, so naturally he would not refuse and immediately agreed.

After looking at the situation inside, he jumped down through the opening above the tomb.

Wang Jianbin also followed closely behind.

"Help me take down the camera!"

He threw the camera to Lin Chen from the entrance of the cave, and then jumped in.

Liu Yifan did not follow immediately, but took out his mobile phone and made a call.

He originally wanted to notify the director of the situation, but who knows, he made several calls but no one came through.

After struggling for a while, I had no choice but to give up.

"Why can't the director's phone call be reached?"

Liu Yifan frowned slightly, wondering why.

This was the first time he encountered this kind of situation, and something must have happened that he didn't know clearly.

After thinking for a while, he dialed another number.

The official phone number of their cultural relics bureau.

"Hey, this is the Yanjing Cultural Relics Bureau."

"I am Liu Yifan. An ancient tomb was discovered here. Please tell the director about it."

Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Liu Yifan immediately explained the situation here, and then asked the other party: "Why can't the director's phone get through? What happened?"

"Don't mention it. It's all because of the Bronze Statue. All the major museums are almost ringing up our phone calls. If you had called earlier, you wouldn't even be able to get in."

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Liu Yifan instantly understood what happened.

It’s not surprising that such a national treasure-level cultural relic was unearthed.

No matter which museum, it is impossible not to be tempted, and it is expected that they will compete for it.

I just didn’t expect that it would get to the point where the director’s phone number couldn’t be reached.

"How many people in the archaeological field are paying attention to Lin Chen's live broadcast?"

A doubt emerged in Liu Yifan's mind. Under normal circumstances, the response of major museums would never be so fast.

Unless you were paying attention to Lin Chen's situation at the time.

Just one or two museums.

I am afraid that most museums have reacted to this situation immediately, which is unbelievable when you think about it.

Although I don’t know what it’s like in other areas, I’m afraid it won’t be too different.

Of course, Lin Chen is in Yanjing after all, so the attention here will definitely be much greater than that of other areas, so it should not always be like this.

He chatted for a few more words and asked about the next steps. After learning that the director and the directors of major museums were planning to resolve the ownership issue of the bronze statue through online meetings, he hung up the phone.

Putting away his phone, Liu Yifan looked down.

While he was on the phone, Lin Chen and Wang Jianbin looked over the situation in the tomb and stood next to the coffin to study together.

"What's going on down there?"

Liu Yifan asked the two of them.

Wang Jianbin looked up at him and said, "This place has been stolen, and things have fallen everywhere."

Wang Jianbin and Lin Chen had just made a preliminary determination of the situation inside the tomb. There were a lot of gold and silver jewelry and porcelain scattered on the ground, making it a mess like a room that had been ransacked by others.

If there is a normal burial, this situation will definitely not happen.

Stolen?

Tomb robbing is the most annoying thing for archaeologists like them.

This behavior will cause great damage to the tombs and will greatly increase the difficulty for them to determine the condition of the tombs.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yifan's expression instantly darkened.

He jumped down from the hole and looked around the tomb, feeling very depressed.

As Wang Jianbin said, this place really looks like it was stolen.

"This is..."

His eyes fell on a tomb brick not far from his feet, with a few words engraved on it.

It is not uncommon to have words carved on bricks.

This was the case with some important buildings in ancient times. In order to ensure quality, once problems occurred, the person responsible for manufacturing was also held accountable.

The presence of this thing in the tomb means one thing.

The owner of the tomb must have a very prominent status.

Official building materials are not available to everyone.

"Twenty-five years of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty."

Liu Yifan read out the words on the brick, thoughtfully.

Shaoxing is the reign name of Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty.

In total, most of the tomb owners were officials in the same dynasty as Yue Fei.

This reminded him of a person, the famous traitor Qin Hui.

According to the legend passed down, Qin Hui was buried in Yanjing.

"It can't be such a coincidence!"

Liu Yifan quickly extinguished the thought in his mind. The exact location of Qin Hui's tomb is a major mystery in history.

As many people admired Yue Fei, so many people despised Qin Hui.

He was stood in front of Yue Fei's tomb and knelt for thousands of years.

Over the long years, there were countless people who wanted to build Qin Hui's tomb, and of course not all of them were rushing to avenge Yue Fei.

Qin Hui spent a lot of time plundering people's wealth, so the wealth inside the tomb must be astonishing.

However, after so many years, no one has found Qin Hui’s tomb.

How can it be found so easily?

However, he still had a sense of luck in his heart. Qin Hui was a traitorous official who left his name in history. If Qin Hui's tomb could really be found, even if it was stolen, it would be a great historical discovery.

Maybe we can also find out the truth about all those things back then.

Seeing him holding a tomb brick for study, Wang Jianbin asked curiously: "Is there anything special about this brick?"

Lin Chen also looked towards Liu Yifan, looking curiously at the brick in Liu Yifan's hand.

Judging from the information given by the system, this should be something made under the supervision of the royal family.

The year is 25 years in Shaoxing.

Other than that, there is nothing special about it.

"Is there something special about this?"

Liu Yifan's reaction made Lin Chen feel a little confused. He did not have much knowledge in archeology, which was much worse than a serious archaeological researcher like Liu Yifan.

It's normal for Liu Yifan to really see some information that he didn't know.

"Nothing special."

Liu Yifan shook his head and said: "This thing was made by the government. It was during the period of Emperor Gaozong and Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty. I'm guessing it will be the senior official of that year."

There are a lot of people in the archeology field in the live broadcast room. When I heard his words, I instantly went crazy.

"High-ranking officials during the Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty were buried in Nanjing. Wouldn't it be Qin Hui's tomb?"

"It is very possible that, according to legend, the location of Qin Hui's tomb is indeed in that area."
