In the end, Xiao Peng met with Director Wang in the imperial city. It wasn't because he wanted to receive his apology, but because Director Wang had invited him to take a look at the old palace's collection, a few items that hadn't been displayed to the public.

"Boss Xiao, actually, we have many items that are not displayed to the public. Just like the jewels on your Pasha's necklace, even if they are placed here, it is not a good time to display them. You know why." Director Wang led the way and introduced them.

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders, "What the hell is this thing that these three inscriptions are trying to find me for?" When the Eight Nations allied together, they also had a part in it! " When the Eight Nations allied forces of the Eagle Nation, the Eagle Nation's invasion force was actually not many. The majority of the Eagle Nation's forces were the Indian Three. After all, at that time India was a British colony -- a bunch of henchmen.

"Lu Ya, I'll show you what women like the most in a while." Xiao Peng said to Lu Ya behind him. However, Lu Ya coldly snorted and turned her head away, ignoring him.

That's right, the reason why Xiao Peng offended Lu Ya was very simple. Xiao Peng had placed cilantro in all his dishes, and Lu Ya was one of the famous' anti-cilantro alliance '.

There were only two kinds of people on Earth. One was people who ate cilantro, and the other was people who didn't eat cilantro.

To those who liked coriander, coriander was an indispensable delicacy in the world. When you're hungry, I only want a bowl of beef noodle soup. I don't want beef, I don't want noodles, I only want coriander! But for those who hate cilantro, cilantro tastes like, 'If plants can piss, that's the taste of cilantro', 'It tastes like a severely chemically contaminated rat being minced with a meat grinder'.

According to statistics, 21% of East Asians, 17% of white people, and 14% of black people hate cilantro! To them, cilantro was the fart of demons and the smell of Satan's armpits.

However, cilantro lovers were even more frightening. Tokyo even had a special cilantro restaurant, where all the dishes were cooked from cilantro. It was simply a paradise for cilantro. There was even a spa owner who would bring bundles of coriander into his spa, creating a 'spa' of coriander. The entire bath was filled with the smell of coriander. However, these were not the most amazing. The most amazing thing was that there was a hot pot restaurant in the Pirates' Kingdom which had a casserole set up. Four kilograms of hot pot ingredients were all used for food. Eat the coriander first!

A while ago, the price of coriander had skyrocketed, and countless people from the coriander were about to go crazy. Fortunately, the price quickly dropped, or else the parsley party would go on a rampage.

To the parsley party, what was the difference between living in this world without parsley and eating salted fish? What cilantro bath lotion, cilantro perfume, only you can't think of, we can't do it.

Spice was such a strange object. Those who liked it would love it to death, and those who hated it would hate it to death.

However, the taste of the coriander itself didn't matter much. The aversion to coriander came from a gene encoding OR6A2 in the human body, causing the human body to be sensitive to aldehydes in the coriander. This type of person would immediately associate themselves with the soap in the bathroom after they ate the cilantro. Those without this gene would be able to accept the taste of the cilantro and would feel that it was very, very delicious.

Unfortunately, Lu Ya was the only one in the family who was an anti-cilantro. This led Xiao Peng to cook a large table of food and eat it well with the two elders.

This also led to Lu Ya's opinion of Xiao Peng to be extremely large. Xiao Peng had no choice but to owe Lu Ya ten large meals without cilantro, which improved Lu Ya's mood.

"Xiao Peng, didn't Director Wang only say that it was dug out from the soil? Why are you so angry?" Lu Ya curiously asked as she watched Xiao Peng's actions. He didn't give Director Wang much of an expression.

Xiao Peng said, "Because with just that sentence, you can directly label my things as' illegal '. Even my things will be light. You can even directly arrest me and sentence me!" With that, Xiao Peng glared at Director Wang, causing Director Wang to feel awkward.

Lu Ya was puzzled. "Most of the cultural relics were dug out from the ground, right? "Look at all the things that are being sold in the Pan Family, they must be real. How could they be sold?"

Xiao Peng looked at Director Wang, "You'll have to ask Director Wang about this. He's an expert."

Hearing that, Director Wang hurriedly explained, "Uh, Miss Lu, this is how things are. After a cultural relic is stolen, it will often be sold overseas through some other level market. This is not only a value-added process, but also a 'legalization' process. Of course, 'legalization' doesn't mean that this cultural relic is legal, but the source is hard to trace."

"How did this become legal?" Lu Ya asked.

Director Wang replied, "This is like a game that we used to play when we were young, one sentence was passed from mouth to mouth by ten people, and in the end it is completely unrecognizable. The cultural relics are sold over and over again, the longer the trade chain is, the more blurry the source is, and generally speaking, the grave robbers do not keep the cultural relics they steal by their side, they need to quickly take action to prevent any problems, otherwise they will sell them directly to the so-called 'palm market' in the north, or else they will sell them to the antique market in the second and third tier cities. to avoid the risk. "

"Moreover, tombs robbers these days rarely fight one on one. Most of them commit the crime in groups. "As for the production, supply and marketing of a dragon, most tombstone gangs would have fixed owners who would buy the stolen cultural relics. These cultural relics would enter the cultural relic market in a single channel."

Lu Ya was still puzzled. "What if those artifacts are more valuable? Just like Xiao Peng's Gongpai, if he were to obtain it, it would definitely cause a sensation in the market. Then, there would definitely be people diligently investigating the source of the matter, right? Wouldn't it be easy to get into trouble this way? "

Director Wang nodded and continued to explain, "That is a good question. Ordinary stolen cultural relics will be fine after a few laps around the domestic literary market. In addition to the ordinary cultural relics market, another channel is to smuggle it overseas. "

After hearing that, Lu Ya questioned, "Is this the most serious punishment? Is it a felony? "

Director Wang sighed and continued, "In front of the windfall, many people have been blinded. Although the Chinese Penal Code and the Cultural Relics Protection Act had strict laws and regulations punishing the smuggling of cultural relics, there were still many people who were aware of the violations of the law. A few years ago, four customs officials, under a 5% sampling rate, seized 11,512 cultural relics in one day! If we calculate according to the ratio of all the customs and a year's inspection, how much will China's cultural relics be lost every year? "

"So many?" After Lu Ya heard this, she sucked in a breath of cold air. How did they do it? "

"Who says it isn't?" The Head of the King's Hall sighed, "It was precisely because of this that I saw Boss Xiao's Zigong Pei was blocked by the lard. However, Boss Xiao, I really don't want to see our China's treasures become fewer and fewer."

Xiao Peng nodded, "The matter is already over. There's no need to bring it up." Speaking of the old curator, he was actually quite cute. At least, it wasn't for his own selfish motives.

Director Wang turned his head to answer Lu Ya's question from before, "Actually, the method is very simple. It is to report the results as a copy and come out of seclusion. Sometimes, even authoritative experts would not be able to appraise cultural relics as if there was an appraisal treasure show. If the appraisal was a fake, then the item would be destroyed, and now, it could not go on. Those experts could make a mistake in appraising it on the spot, so how could those real cultural relics be appraised when they reached the checkpoint? Once these cultural relics leave the country, it will be almost impossible to reclaim them. "

Lu Ya pondered for a moment. "No, Director Wang, what you said is not right. If those national treasures were to go abroad, they would definitely attract people's attention. How can they be pure?"

Director Wang replied, "You are right, even if a national treasure like this were to be transferred abroad, it should not be placed in the main auction house to stir up trouble. If it is used to sell cultural relics, it should be hidden in the water, which means that these cultural relics will not appear for a period of time. In the process of making up files on these artifacts, it would generally be blamed on the war, because there would be too many artifacts sent abroad during the war. The lack of a detailed list of names in the country was a perfect loophole. Then, they would auction these artifacts at some small scale auction houses outside of Europe and the United States, and after that, their own people would auction them back and start setting up the 'auction record files'. After diving for a few years, they would take them out and transfer them to another country for auction, and the process would repeat itself several times. Each time, the cultural relics would properly improve the specifications of the auction houses, and after each round, they would possess a 'orderly record' or a 'legal identity', and they would then be able to appear at the mainstream auction houses in Europe and the United States.

Xiao Peng was at a loss whether to laugh or to cry at Lu Ya's comment: "From what you said, how can someone who can dig out tombs for his ancestors be a good person?"

Director Wang shook his head. "Actually, there's someone worse off."

When Lu Ya heard this, she hastily asked, "Who else is worse than them?"

Director Wang said, "In the process of cleansing cultural relics, there is another important role that institutions play, and that is the museum. Now, museums have become one of the biggest ways for Chinese tomb robbers to purify their artifacts. And not just the civilian museums, but some of the official museums as well. Of course, most museums would not come into direct contact with tomb robbers, and would purchase them through second-rate channels such as "palm eye". After all, museums were rich, had a lot of social connections, and also had many channels to resell their artifacts. "As for those experts who have been dealing with cultural relics for a long time, they are very clear on the origins of these cultural relics. Some of them are new, so everyone is very clear on the origins of these cultural relics, but they won't reveal their origins, just like Boss Xiao's ZiGongpei. It's clear that this has just been unearthed not long ago, but this matter cannot be pointed out.

Hearing Director Wang's words, Xiao Peng was stunned: "Director Wang, you aren't exaggerating are you? Is this true? "

Director Wang nodded, "Boss Xiao, why would I lie to you? Don't tell me that you don't know about the biggest case of tomb robbing after the founding of the country?"

In fact, when it came to the biggest case of tomb robbing in China, first of all Qin Shihuang, he seriously tricked Chinese historians into thinking that Chinese culture and nationality were matters south of the Great Wall. In fact, it was a big mistake for archaeologists to find the 'older home' of the Chinese people north of the Great Wall, which was the Niu He Liang Hongshan cultural ruin in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province.

In contrast to the tombs of the Neolithic Age in Central Plains, the tombs of the Red Mountain Culture contained a large number of jade artifacts. In addition to the common jade bracelets and jade walls, there were also jade turtles, jade phoenixes, jade porcupines, and other precious treasures. In the past, people had always thought that the Yellow River Basin and the Yangtze River Basin were the source of China's history. The Red Mountain Culture was just a branch or a hybrid culture of the Great Wall.

However, this attracted a lot of attention from criminals, including Yao Yuzhong and Third Master Yao, who were known as the number one expert of 'tomb robbing outside of the pass'.

This Yao Yuzhong was also a rare person, he had been given the nickname of 'Ancestor', and had read a lot of archaeological books. After determining the direction of the tomb, he directly locked onto the location of the tomb according to the direction of the mountains, the movements of the rivers, the sun, moon and stars. He was a genuine field officer. After he stomped on the ground, the tombs robbers were able to find things every time.

Furthermore, Yao Yuzhong was extremely cunning. Every time he stole a grave, he would know how deep to dig. After digging, he would carefully fill in the hole and use all kinds of methods to cover up the excavation site so that others would not find out.

However, more and more Red Mountain cultural relics leaked out from the market, which attracted the attention of the government. In the end, 225 suspects were caught, including 'ancestor' Yao Yuzhong. A total of 12 criminal gangs were killed and 2,063 cultural relics were recovered! Only 248 of them were first-class cultural relics! Since the founding of China, this case had been the one with the most stolen cultural relics and the one with the most suspects in a single case!

This was definitely the biggest case of Chinese tomb robbing! Section error, click on this report (no registration), after reporting the maintenance personnel will correct chapter content within two minutes, please wait patiently, and refresh the page.
