Chapter 179 The Archaeological Team Pretends to Be Tomb Robbers?

"Is there really no difference? I think there is a big difference!"

"Director Zhang is now intercepting our collection, will he poach our employees next?"

"Why don't you think about poaching me first?"

On the phone, Deputy Director Zou of the Yangcheng Museum kept asking weird questions, which made Zhang Yang retreat.

During the live broadcast in the afternoon, Zhang Yang just tried to fight for it, but he didn't expect Baoyou to directly agree and send the bronze sword to Linhai.

The reason is: "I've been calling for a day, but the museum staff haven't come to my door yet."

"If they are not active, they are not worthy of this bronze sword."

Zhang Yang certainly agrees with this statement.

A sword goes with a hero, and he definitely deserves it.

"I heard that Director Zhang also said that he is a hero?"

Deputy Director Zou’s fourth question has also arrived.

Fortunately, there was a helpful Master Wang beside Zhang Yang.

"Xiao Zou, let's talk about business first!" the old man said.

"Hey, I was just kidding." Deputy Director Zou turned from angry to happy: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Zhang Yang!"

“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to be a candidate for this committee member.”

Just like Xiang Baotou puts all the blame on Zhang Yang, Deputy Director Zou also takes all the credit as Zhang Yang's.

Niu Renai's arrest caused his son to "voluntarily" resign from the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee.

Deputy curator Zou happened to come out to pick up the leak.

But this was old news two days ago. Zhang Yang knew about it when he was grabbing red envelopes in the group.

The reason for suddenly having such a formal conference call today is for another matter - the Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture.

The "defrauded" treasure friend and the national first-class cultural relic in his hand have been controlled.

The man was caught in the deep city and moved very fast.

Now the police are following up and investigating the seller, and Deputy Director Zou is responsible for organizing a team of experts to identify the authenticity of the Jade Pig Dragon.

Considering that Master Wang was the first to report the things to the leaders of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Deputy Director Zou naturally came to learn from them first.

After hearing what happened, Master Wang patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder:

"Xiao Zhang sees things very accurately. I believe in his vision."

"But he can't join our team yet." Deputy Director Zou retorted in a low voice.

"Oh, Xiao Zou, you misunderstood. I don't want to recommend Zhang Yang to your expert team." Master Wang explained: "I mean, I have watched the video, and my current judgment is consistent with Zhang Yang's."

"That thing is the Jade Pig Dragon of Hongshan Culture."

"And I can also give you an idea, and it is also an idea for the police. Check the staff who participated in the archaeological excavation at that time, focusing on the people of the archaeological team."

Zhang Yang was a little sleepy after listening to Deputy Director Zou's story, but after Wang Guosheng's words, he suddenly woke up.

Are the archaeological team members secretly selling the unearthed cultural relics?

From this angle, it’s okay!

"But most of the people who participated in the excavation at that time have now..."

In the middle of his words, Deputy Director Zou swallowed the words "in a high position" and changed his words:

"Teacher, I understand!"

Zhang Yang suddenly felt the smell of sea in the air, like before a storm.

Is this the beginning of a reckoning?

When Deputy Director Zou hung up the phone, Zhang Yang originally planned to go back and ask Chu Ziqiang about his harvest, but Master Wang stopped him when he was about to go out.

The old man just happened to want to ask about the private archaeological team.

"I don't know whose son this Chu Ziqiang is." Zhang Yang spread his hands: "I found several people named Chu, but none of them are related to our industry."

"I do know a treasure appraisal expert named Chu Yunfei, and I may be somewhat related to him." Master Wang provided some ideas.

The topic returned to the archaeological team. What Wang Guosheng was really worried about was actually Cheng Zongwen.

"There is a tomb robber in the archaeological team, and I always feel unsafe." Master Wang said worriedly: "If you get the status of an expert and endorse them, you can easily get involved in trouble."

"Actually, there is more than one." Zhang Yang told Wang Guosheng embarrassedly: "Now there is another Mao Shiqi who can drill holes."

"Isn't this nonsense!"

Wang Guosheng frowned and looked at Zhang Yang suspiciously:

"I remember that you have been studying Feng Shui recently?"

"Does this archaeological team still lack a tomb hunter?"

Zhang Yang remembered that the old man had mentioned the "Shaking Dragon Sutra" to him.

And his original purpose for finding this book was really to understand the Feng Shui knowledge related to tombs.

Zhang Yang felt embarrassed about being caught by his parents.

"This archaeological team is mainly to protect ancient tombs that have been destroyed. We will not dig new tombs," he explained.

"All archaeological teams are like this in name." Wang Guosheng shook his head: "But it has happened before that archaeological team members pretended to be tomb robbers and secretly went to the tombs in the middle of the night to dig holes."

"So cruel?"

"In the past, I wasn't so particular about it. There were times when I hired a tomb robber who washed his hands in a golden basin as a consultant."

Master Wang told many secrets, and Zhang Yang gradually understood what the old man was worried about.

If he is targeted by someone who is interested in spreading rumors and being stigmatized, there is a high probability that he will use a sewing machine, and Mr. Cheng will definitely enter the palace.

Finally, the old man gave his advice: keep a low profile and keep a low profile.

The kind that is more low-key than a tomb robber.

…

When he came out of the office, Chu Ziqiang also called it a day.

He made a video call to Zhang Yang.

It was getting late, and the Zhang family's ancestral grave behind Chu Ziqiang was full of lights, and people were burning paper and setting off firecrackers.

"Fortunately, the backfilling work has been completed and it doesn't look like it has been dug at all."

"Where are the things in the tomb?" Zhang Yang only cared about the important points.

"Second Master Cheng is guarding us. That man named Xing is really crazy. He keeps trying to take away the things we took out, so we can only send someone to guard him."

"But there aren't any precious cultural relics, just some porcelain and jade. Why don't we give it to the county archaeological team?"

Chu Ziqiang was a little annoyed at the scene and wanted to show off.

"No." Zhang Yang shook his head: "Even if we have to keep a low profile, it will be tomorrow."

"Low-key? What low-key?"

"It's your archaeological team!"

Zhang Yang summarized what Master Wang said and relayed it to Chu Ziqiang.

After hearing this, Xiao Chu fell silent.

"By the way, after you finish working in Linhai this time, what are you going to do?" Zhang Yang asked.

"According to our original plan, we wanted to visit all the ancient tombs recorded in Mr. Cheng's notebook to see if any of them had been stolen in recent years, and conduct rescue excavations."

"When you said that just now, I got a little panicked."

It was obvious to the naked eye that Chu Ziqiang was a little unhappy.

Zhang Yang's expression was: rejoicing.

"It's a good thing I asked, otherwise I guess you would have to go in sooner or later."

This is not the time when Cheng Zongwen was first imprisoned more than ten years ago.

If they walked through all the ancient tombs in Cheng Laoer's notebook, this archaeological team would probably give an explanation today.

"Then there's only one way."

Chu Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said to Zhang Yang:

"We will go to Yanjing immediately. After getting your certificate, we will find the leader and give our archaeological team the entire organization."
