Chapter 1248: Tomb within a Tomb

Xing Wenhu's far-sighted proposal made the expert group suddenly enlightened. They immediately used a waveform detector to detect the bottom of the Han Tomb. The detection results showed that there was indeed a large underground building underneath.

After prying open the huge stone slab engraved with the ascension diagram, a hidden hole appeared below. This hole should be a robber's hole, which leads to the ancient tomb below. A secret hidden under the Han Tomb was presented to the world.

Dongzhou Qingshan Han Tomb, a tomb within a tomb, Dongzhou discovered a large Warring States tomb...one piece of news after another spread like wildfire.

That evening, Huang Wanglin, a master of the collection industry, published a personal blog post. In the article, he cited historical documents such as Dongzhou History and Records, Qingshan Mine History Archives, and cultural relics unearthed around the Qingshan Han Tomb in history to infer the existence of large tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Qingshan Mine area.

Huang Wanglin's article was like dropping a bomb in the archaeological collection community, instantly triggering the enthusiasm of archaeological experts and countless archaeological enthusiasts. For a time, the tomb in the tomb discovered in Dongzhou became a hot topic for major media to report.

The provincial satellite TV tourism channel, which was reporting on the Qingshan Han Tombs, obtained the exclusive authorization of the Dongzhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau to track and report the excavation process of the tomb in the Qingshan tomb.

Lu Ming, director of the Dongzhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau, was relieved at this time. He thought Xu Chunliang was exaggerating to create an impact. He never thought that a Warring States tomb was found under the worthless Han tomb. According to the preliminary research of archaeological experts, although this Warring States tomb was stolen, there should be many cultural relics left in it. Although there are many Han tombs in Dongzhou, there are few tombs in the Warring States period. This is the first time such a large-scale tomb has been discovered, and its significance is self-evident.

Those experts and scholars all regarded Xing Wenhu as the discoverer of the tomb in the tomb. It was the reminder of Xing Wenhu, the head of Pinghai Cultural and Tourism, that made the archaeological professionals suddenly enlightened.

Xing Wenhu contacted the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and published an article that local economic development cannot be achieved at the expense of cultural relics protection.

That night, many people in Dongzhou could not sleep well. The first one was Zhai Pingqing, who was directly affected. He initially thought that the Han tomb was just a farce that someone took advantage of to make a fuss about him. After the expert argumentation, everything would be solved. He would thoroughly investigate who was behind this impact and hold the responsibility to the end.

Zhai Pingqing had even initially locked on the target. He knew that the first person to release the tomb exploration video was Pu Jian, who was the apprentice of Huang Wanglin, the third master of Huang. Zhai Pingqing and Huang Wanglin were both one of the four elders of the Pimen. Under normal circumstances, Huang Wanglin would not allow his apprentice to target him.

However, there are exceptions to everything. Huang Wanglin has also encountered many troubles recently. Did he suspect himself, so he tried every means to retaliate?

The news also reached the Lexing Group in the peninsula. The founder of the group, Li Bingxing, looked coldly at his son Li Changhe, who was bowing in front of him, with disappointment in his eyes.

"Father, this is an accident. The tomb is not in the information we have."

Li Bingxing's voice was calm and indifferent: "I told you a long time ago that a comprehensive survey should be conducted without any omissions. Why did this happen?"

Li Changhe said: "Father did say so at the beginning, and asked me to take the construction site of the new hospital of Dongzhou Infectious Disease Hospital at all costs, but...but the ancient tomb is not within the construction site."

Li Bingxing snorted coldly, and Li Changhe shivered in fear. Realizing that his words just now caused his father's dissatisfaction, he fell to his knees with a plop, and his forehead rested on the wooden board: "Father, I am not thoughtful. I will solve this problem immediately."

"How to solve it?" Li Bingxing's two gray eyebrows were tightly entangled together.

Li Changhe said: "I will put pressure on Dongzhou immediately."

"How to put pressure?"

"Their protected area has already included part of the contracted land of the China-Korea Industrial Park, which has constituted a unilateral breach of contract."

Li Bingxing sneered: "Changhe, you disappoint me so much."

Li Changhe said: "Father, this ancient tomb incident was just an accident..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Bingxing had already grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it to the ground. Li Changhe was so scared that he dared not continue to speak.

Li Bingxing stood up and paced back and forth in front of Li Changhe: "Accident? Do you think it's just an accident? This is clearly a conspiracy."

"Don't worry, father, I will solve this matter immediately and will not let you down."

"How to solve it? Do you think Dongzhou will succumb to your pressure? Will they violate their country's "Cultural Protection Law" to complete the Sino-Korean Industrial Park?"

Li Changhe said: "It must be Bai Lan, she betrayed us."

Li Bingxing said: "She has been missing for so long, you have spent a lot of manpower and material resources but have not found any clues, and now you haven't even done the Sino-Korean Industrial Park. How can you let me believe you?"

Li Changhe said: "Father, give me a month."

Li Bingxing shook his head: "I gave you a chance."

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and a middle-aged woman in a black suit walked in. She was Li Bingxing's daughter Li Changji.

Li Changji entered the room without looking at her brother kneeling on the ground.

Li Bingxing said: "From now on, all business in Greater China will be handed over to Changji."

Li Changhe raised his head, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Step down!"

Li Changhe knew very well that this sentence was directed at him. He knew his father's character very well, and the decision could not be changed.

After Li Changhe left, Li Bingxing sat down again. Li Changji knelt down beside her father and filled the teacup in front of him: "Father, you are too strict with Changhe."

Li Bingxing sighed: "The matter in Dongzhou is a bit tricky. I want you to deal with it yourself."

Li Changji nodded: "I will solve it as soon as possible."

Li Bingxing was satisfied with his daughter's answer. He took a sip of tea and said: "What has Youlong been doing during this period?"

"Growing flowers and feeding fish, cultivating my mind and character."

Li Bingxing laughed: "It's really rare. Remember, don't let him get involved in the affairs of the Chinese region."

Li Changji said: "Father, don't worry, I know it clearly."

The speech of Xing Wenhu, the top leader of the provincial cultural and tourism industry, shocked the entire Pinghai cultural and tourism system. The cultural and tourism bureaus of various cities and municipalities quietly launched a self-examination action to implement the spirit of Xing Wenhu's article.

The special report on the Qingshan Han Tombs produced by Pinghai Satellite TV Tourism Channel was also broadcast at the first time, which boosted the popularity of Qingshan archaeology.

Huang Wanglin's publicly published articles have invisibly helped the tomb in the tomb become the focus of public attention.

As for the short videos on major platforms, there are countless self-media news.

All of these can only attract public attention. In the end, facts are needed to prove the value of the tomb in the tomb.

Many people believe that the Warring States tomb located below the Han tomb may have been robbed as clean as the Han tomb. However, before the discussion meeting was held, the Provincial Museum found an abandoned bronze gui in the robbery hole of this Warring States tomb. This exquisitely made bronze gui is well preserved. Experts judged from the craftsmanship and appearance that it is at least a national second-level cultural relic.

The bronze gui discarded by the tomb robbers are all priceless treasures, which aroused the enthusiasm of experts. According to preliminary detection, the total length of this Warring States tomb is about 30 meters, and the tomb passage is about 20 meters long. The tomb chambers are all rectangular, 5 to 7 meters long, 4 to 6 meters wide, and about 8 meters deep.

According to the regulations of the tomb, it can be basically determined that it is the tomb of a king of the Warring States Period. According to the experts' speculation, there should be a large chariot pit for burial nearby.

Lin Jianwei, the chief archaeologist of Nanjiang Museum, who came here for Xing Wenhu's sake, encountered a good thing this time. He excitedly said that this discovery is definitely one of the top ten domestic archaeological discoveries this year. There should be more than one Warring States tomb, and there may be more around.

The discussion meeting organized by the Dongzhou Cultural and Tourism Bureau was not held as scheduled. The theme of their discussion meeting was the Han tomb that was completely looted. Now everyone's focus is no longer on the Han tomb, so this discussion meeting has temporarily lost its meaning. It will definitely be held in the future, but it will have to wait until the archaeological excavation of the Warring States tomb below reaches a certain stage.

Lu Ming basically did not leave the scene these two days. In his past life, he never thought that one day his future would be so closely related to the word archaeology.

After initially determining the value of the Warring States tomb, Lu Ming immediately contacted Qin Zhengyang. He hoped that Qin Zhengyang would report the latest progress to Wang Jianming. Only with the permission of the Dongzhou leader could he carry out further work.

Qin Zhengyang asked Lu Ming to come directly to the administrative center. Secretary Wang wanted to see him.

Lu Ming walked into Wang Jianming's office with an uneasy heart. He knew very well that this archaeological discovery disrupted the city's planning and layout, and would affect many projects under construction. Secretary Wang might not be happy.

Wang Jianming was still as approachable as before. He asked Lu Ming to sit down. Qin Zhengyang went to make a cup of tea for Lu Ming and stayed. This was Wang Jianming's request.

Qin Zhengyang reminded: "Comrade Lu Ming, please report the archaeological situation of the Qingshan Han Tomb to Secretary Wang."

Lu Ming nodded and briefly recounted the events from the discovery of the Han Dynasty murals that triggered a hot topic to the discovery of the tomb under the tomb.

Wang Jianming was a little absent-minded when he heard it. He was not interested in the process, and the process reported by Lu Ming must have been carefully choreographed.

"How was the Warring States tomb discovered?"

Lu Ming, who was suddenly interrupted by Wang Jianming, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It was Secretary Xing. He saw something different from the Han Dynasty portrait and suggested that experts conduct a careful investigation. Unexpectedly, the Warring States tomb was discovered by accident."

Wang Jianming said: "Secretary Xing's vision is better than that of experts." Wang Jianming's eyes fell on his notebook, and he circled a few key points on it, Han tomb - increase online popularity - demarcate temporary protection area - request to stop construction - leaders of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism led a team to investigate - discovered the Warring States tomb - re-demarcate the protection area - related projects were stopped and re-planned.
