Chapter 227 Opening the coffin in the middle of the night
With his hands folded, I said to the rotten coffin in front of me: "Is the master in there? I want to ask for some money, don't blame me, burn more paper for you in the future."
"Brother Yu, come and press it. I can't push it. The coffin board has been deformed."
"Okay, I'll do it."
As he spoke, Brother Yu took the crowbar and rolled up his sleeves.
In the past, the coffin board could not be pushed open once it deformed. In the movie, the tomb robbers were fake to push the coffin directly. In the early years, they mainly used crowbars, and now they all used oil chainsaws. Therefore, many of the tomb robbers discovered now have a square cut in the coffin.
Douyazi lay on the female coffin and looked happy, and there was no sign of nervousness, and he kept urging us to hurry up.
It was late at night, and the main tomb, which was more than 30 square meters, was shining brightly.
When Brother Yu pried the coffin, he made a squeaking sound, a bit like a mouse screaming.
After prying it open, I immediately raised the flashlight and shone it into the coffin.
The first thing that came to my eyes was a pile of human bones, the mud was dried into black solid, and several round jade wares on the surface were buried in the black mud.
I looked at it and frowned and said, "Put my head, this man was not old when he died, very young, no more than thirty years old.
"What's this?"
"Yuhuang or Yuhuan?"
I gently pushed the skull of the tomb owner with a stick and picked out a round thing from the mud.
I thought it was jade, but my hands were cool to the touch, with a metal texture and a white color.
After rubbing it with the sleeve, I saw clearly that the front of the thing was a convex embossed pattern, and I couldn't see what the pattern was. It looked like a dragon or a snake, and the reverse side was sunken inward. The overall size was about five centimeters, and the weight was very heavy.
What’s even more strange is that on the other hand, there is a circle of English letters, with a box in the middle, and the word “shao” is written in the box.
It's said it's the button on the tomb owner's clothes. It's too big. How can this be embellished on the human clothes?
What a big button? Also, this thing was from the Han Dynasty, how could there be English on the back?
"Strange, look at the head, what is this? It's not a jade, it seems to be silver."
"I'll take a look."
I held it in my hand and looked carefully for a minute, and suddenly a smile appeared on my head and face.
"Yunfeng, this should be the Shaofu coins of the Han Dynasty. There are very few people who are willing to use for burial, so it is rare."
I asked inexplicably: "What is Shaofu coins? Coins? How can there be English letters behind this thing?"
He explained: "This is not in English, it is a sign of anti-counterfeiting nature. Shaofu coins are called by people from all walks of life. Among the people, this thing is also called Silver Dragon Coin."
"Silver Dragon Coin?"
A flash of inspiration in my mind.
"Boe the head, is this a third-grade platinum??"
Nod your head.
I
Then the owner of this tomb must be the rich young master! Maybe he is the son of a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty!
The third platinum is a kind of silver coins of the Han Dynasty, which are not widely circulated among the people. I guess the material is silver-tin alloy, including dragon coins, RMB and turtle coins.
The dragon coins are round, like big buttons.
The ringgit is square, with a horse on the front. The turtle coin is like a turtle shell and is oval.
At that time, a platinum dragon coin weighed eight liang, which could be used as three thousand small five-plant coins, and 6 liang, which could be used as five hundred five-yuan coins. The turtle coin was the cheapest, which could be exchanged for two hundred five-plant coins.
This thing is not sterling silver, and the face value is large, so many people stole fake money back then. Legend has it that Emperor Wu of Han killed more than 100,000 stole money back then, which led to the public's disapproval of this kind of money later on.
, so the casting period ends very short.
I put this thing in my pocket and waited for it to wash it and study it carefully.
At this time, he said, "Look out quickly. If there are dragon coins, there are probably turtle coins and RMB. If you put together a set of three platinum products, the price will be tripled."
I nodded and prepared to continue searching for RMB and Turtle coins in the coffin. At this moment, Brother Yu suddenly pressed me down.
We looked up at the same time.
"Si Lala.Si Lala!"
Suddenly there was a loud noise from above, as if he was moving the bed.
Immediately afterwards, some gravel and floating soil fell down from the top of the tomb chamber, all of which fell on our heads.
Douyazai said blankly: "Look! The stones on the arch are cracked! This will not collapse suddenly, right!"
After five minutes, the sound of moving the bed from the top was gone and the arch was no longer falling, so I felt relieved.
Next, we found a lot of good things from the men's coffin, found other RMBs and turtle coins, and formed a complete set of platinum third-grade Han Dynasty.
In addition, there were also jade rings, green jade pendants, gilded belt plates, and turtle twisted white jade identity seal engraved with the name of the tomb owner. There were two seal characters written on it. After careful identification, it should be written as "Zhang Wu".
Therefore, the tomb owner is Zhang Wu.
The identity seal is not big, just the size of the fingernails of our adults’ thumbs, the patina is thick and the jade is warm and small and exquisite.
All the identity jade seals in the Han Dynasty were almost so big. If you saw a big identity seal, it would be 100% fake imitations.
In addition to these, there are two stone carvings, placed in the left and right hands of the tomb owner.
The face of this small stone carving was blocked by mud. It can be seen after wiping it, and it depicts a woman.
This is placed in the left hand of the tomb owner
A stone figurine, holding an unknown object in both hands, put it beside your mouth to make a blow.
The one on the right side of the tomb owner was holding a guqin. The clothes and pants worn by the figurine were large and the legs were made into a trumpet shape. This design was in line with mechanics and was very stable on the ground and was not easy to fall.
Brother Yu shook his head and said, "This young man from the Han Dynasty is very good at enjoying it. Not only will he have a wife be with him when he dies, but he also put two maids in the coffin to serve him."
Brother Yu is right. These two stone carvings are the "female figurines of taro and playing the piano" in the Han Dynasty. This skill is not the chicken girl that modern people call. In ancient times, it was a real selling of art but not a person.
I turned to look at the female coffin, and felt a little more excited.
It is not difficult to see that the owner of this Han tomb is a rich person who loves music very much. Will there be Han musical instruments buried in his wife's coffin? For example, there are things like chimes.
This type of ancient musical instrument is extremely valuable. Many times, a small thing is sold more expensive than a bronze tripod! Ordinary people don’t know that many domestic celebrities like to collect this kind of thing and are willing to pay a high price to buy it on the black market.
I emptied the male coffin and put the lid back in place. I asked Douyazai to go up and let the air go, and Xiaoxuan came down to "sit in the male coffin".
Xiaoxuan didn't do it after she came down, because she thought the coffin was dirty.
I begged, "Grandma, just go up and sit down! You are the only one here! We dare not break the old rules in the industry! If you break the rules, you will easily get into trouble!"
After much persuasion, Xiaoxuan sat on the coffin with an unhappy look on her face.
Seeing this, I looked at the female coffin in front of me, rubbed my hands and jokingly, "Yazai, look at it! I'm going to get rid of your wife!"
Douyazi didn't reply. I looked back and realized that Douyazi was going up to let the air.
The female coffin was pried open soon.
Chapter completed!
