Chapter 72: Every Cause Has Its Effect

What were the police doing before?
Don't you search here?

Even if it is buried underground, you can find it out by scanning it with a metal detector.

Zhang Yang had heard that some tomb robbers used this method to find tombs.

All the metal in the underground tomb can react. The stone table is buried so shallowly that we can definitely find it right away.

However, Zhang Yang really wronged the police officer who handled the case.

People have actually searched for it.

But at that time, there was no package of things underneath. It was buried there after Lin Xia and the others came back and buried it after the master was caught.

Because the most dangerous place is the safest place.

"Hahaha, you can't think of it, right?"

Lin Xia carried the bag and shook it proudly at Zhang Yang:
"The police never dreamed that there was something else in the place they searched."

"Why don't you come and take a look? What's in here is our biggest gain this time."

"No, not interested."

Zhang Yang curled his lips and waved his hand.

What treasures could be found in a Han tomb? Nothing more than some burial jades.

Judging from the way Lin Xia carried the bag, the things inside must not be heavy.

National treasures such as the bronze tripod can basically be ruled out.

In addition, the master was only sentenced to three years, and the tomb was obviously not particularly precious, so nothing good would come out of it.

Even if Zhang Yang wanted to go over and take a look, he wanted to see if the stone table was broken.

"No! You have to watch it!"

Lin Xia suddenly said in a very serious tone:
"Only after you've seen what's inside will you not call the police and willingly cover for me."

"Really?" Zhang Yang laughed.

"Really? If you believe me, just take a look at it for your master's sake."

"Just one look is enough."

Lin Xia's tone was almost pleading as she spoke the rest of the story.

She successfully aroused Zhang Yang's curiosity.

Zhang Yang stood there and said, "Okay, then pick out a few representative ones for me to see."

"So far away?"

"Don't worry, my eyesight is very good. I can even see that your cheeks are bulging and you are obviously gritting your teeth."

Zhang Yang ruthlessly exposed the other party.

Lin Xia was restrained for three seconds and stood there in a daze without saying a word.

Finally, she pretended not to hear Zhang Yang's words and took out the most precious antique in her eyes from the bag:
A jade cup that has been severely corroded.

From the shape and color of the cup, Zhang Yang knew at a glance that it was a high-footed jade cup unearthed from a Han tomb.

The ring-like area on top is a very typical feature of Qin and Han jade cups.

During the Han Dynasty, this kind of cup was made from a whole piece of jade and was very precious.

"Do you understand?" Lin Xia asked considerately.

Of course Zhang Yang shook his head. He wanted to see how much the other party knew.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xia knew more than him.

"This is a jade cup from the Han Dynasty. It was unearthed in the tomb of Emperor Zhao of Han and the Mausoleum of the King of Chu at Shizishan in Xuzhou. The market price is conservatively estimated to be at least 70 pieces."

"Ah? Is it so expensive?"

Zhang Yang said in pretended surprise.

In fact, I was thinking: That won’t work.

When he was making jade articles for General Zheng, he checked and found that a jade pig from the Han Dynasty, if in good condition, could cost around 50 yuan.

"Yes, it is that valuable."

"Not only this, there are many other treasures!"

Lin Xia smiled, she was very satisfied with Zhang Yang's reaction.

In her opinion, the most expensive car a 20-year-old young man who grew up in a farmyard could drive was a Yadi.

Isn't it easy to control someone who has never seen the world?
"Come, take another look at this."

The woman took out a white jade sword guard from her bag.

This is even more exaggerated. There is an iron sword about 20 cm long inside the sword guard remaining in the jade artifact, as if they were afraid that others would not know that it came out of the tomb.

"This sword guard alone is worth two hundred thousand."

"If we add the sword head, sword pig (zhì) and sword bi (bì)..."

Lin Xia also took out the remaining three parts. It was obvious that the tomb owner was buried with a complete Han Dynasty iron sword.

"Total, at least 180 million!"

"This is good."

Zhang Yang gave a thumbs up in agreement.

The unit price is high, and it is easier to imitate than the jade bi.

And by inlaying some iron blocks on it, it is easy to create the feeling of being just unearthed.

Zhang Yang immediately made a mental note of this item. He would recommend this item to anyone who wanted to order Han Dynasty jade wares in the future.

"Zhang Yang, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Lin Xia stretched out the sword guard in front of her and said very generously.

If you don’t know, you might think this thing really belongs to her.

Obviously, it can only be kept for another ten minutes at most.

So after listening to it, Zhang Yang didn't move at all.

This reaction made Lin Xia very dissatisfied, so she added more weight:
"Don't you think it's not enough? Then let me give you your master's share first."

"This copper belt hook inlaid with gold and silver is a treasure of the Jilin Provincial Museum. It will definitely sell for 150 million yuan."

"These two items together cost nearly three million."

"Auntie, why do you know so much about the market?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Didn’t the master say that this woman is the one in charge and is only responsible for watching over the tomb?

Now it seems that he should also be responsible for selling the stolen goods.

Lin Xia's next words verified Zhang Yang's thoughts.

"Because I'm looking for buyers for these things."

"Who should I sell it to? These kinds of cultural relics can't be sold out now, right?"

"I have a friend of a friend who took a bunch of Han Dynasty jade artifacts abroad and was arrested by customs."

Zhang Yang was afraid that the woman would doubt his intentions, so he specifically gave an example.

After hearing this, Lin Xia burst into laughter:
"Your friend must have some mental problems. Who would sell this kind of stuff overseas now? They are all..."

The woman stopped talking suddenly.

She looked at Zhang Yang with suspicion and said:
"You kid, you're not trying to trick me, are you?"

"How is it possible..." Zhang Yang shook his head quickly.

"It doesn't matter. It's okay to ask tricks. As long as you are willing to do me this favor, I can share this channel with you in the future." Lin Xia said very generously.

"Help you? How?"

Zhang Yang spread his hands:
"My master only taught me how to make old bronze and jade objects. I don't understand anything at all."

"I don't want you to do any work, just keep it a secret for me and let me stay at your place for a few days."

"If you behave well, I will reward you."

Lin Xia bit her lower lip lightly and raised her eyebrows at Zhang Yang.

This action doesn't look like a serious reward at all.

Zhang Yang thought, helping is fine, but he actually wants to sacrifice his chastity.

It seems that calling the police was the right choice.

This woman is a pervert and has mad cow disease. If you keep her for one more minute, you never know what kind of trouble she might cause.

Just at this moment, Zhang Yang heard the sound of a car shutting down behind him.

"Someone is coming." Zhang Yang said to Lin Xia.

"Who is it? Do you want me to step aside?"

"No, Auntie. I don't know if you've ever heard of the saying, 'Every action has its consequences...'"

"I am your retribution!" Lin Xia answered quickly.

"No, no, no, your retribution is... him!"

Zhang Yang opened the door completely and Officer Tu walked in first.

However, he was startled by Zhang Yang's sudden opening of the door:
"What's going on?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Zhang Yang sighed helplessly when he saw that Officer Tu was not wearing a uniform.

The show effect is not enough!
He pointed at Lin Xia and said:
"She is the person you are looking for. She has a bag of antiques in her hand. They are probably stolen goods. Be careful when you do anything."

"understood."

Officer Tu nodded and waved forward.

The police officers who were lying in ambush at the wall outside the door rushed in directly.

……

Five minutes later, the task force's convoy drove away.

Officer Tu said that he would send someone to deliver the "Enthusiastic Citizen" certificate in a couple of days.

Zhang Yang asked him what the certificate was for.

Officer Tu replied: "It's useless. I just feel sorry for you if I don't send you something."

This is barely an answer.

Zhang Yang didn't think too much about it. Handing over the cultural relics was the same treatment as handing over tomb robbers, which was quite reasonable.

He originally thought that the case was closed now that Lin Xia, the last tomb robber, had been caught.

Unexpectedly, four days later, when Zhang Yang was about to lock the door and go to sleep, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.

A man asked through the door:
"Excuse me, is Lin Baotou at home?"
