Chapter 96 If you’re not careful, a gun will be pointed at your neck!
After Gu Shengsheng asked this, the uncle didn't dare to speak anymore.
But the look in his eyes made it clear that he had found the grave, but he didn't know how to say it.
He took a sip of tea to calm himself down, then said, "It's indeed a cemetery. I know it's unethical. But we didn't dig in. We just dug up the soil and took a look. I took the opportunity to pick up what the excavator had dug up and put it on the construction site."
"I thought someone had found treasure here before! I thought this might be what that person left behind. So I kept it."
Gu Shengsheng: “…”
Could it be that her treasure has also served as a demonstration?
She explained helplessly, "That's not the case. You and the treasure are of different natures."
"That one is digging for treasure, and this one is digging for ancient tombs."
"And these are all things handed down from ancient times. They appear to be the burial grounds of wealthy people, and are generally owned by the state. Copper coins and gold, silver, and jewelry are not a problem, but cultural relics like bronze vessels are the ones you took a photo of for me tonight."
"Illegal possession, we're going to go to jail."
The uncle was so frightened that his legs went limp. He looked at Gu Shengsheng in surprise and asked, "Do you need to go to the police station too?"
"Yes." Gu Shengsheng nodded, "You and I are going to make a deal."
"If this matter is reported, it will be a big deal. So it's best if we go and clarify it tomorrow. Ignorance is not a crime. Nothing serious has happened yet, so there's still time."
He quickly stood up and put on his coat. "We can't wait until tomorrow. Let's go now. There's another worker. I'll ask him to come along. This is a serious matter!"
"What if I go to jail? My daughter won't be able to study and take the civil service exam! I have three daughters at home!"
Gu Shengsheng nodded: "Yes. But they don't work at night, so we have to wait until tomorrow morning."
"Oh, how stupid of me! I didn't know this was against the law!"
"I even hid the tripod, for goodness' sake!"
Now it's like a hot potato, I don't know how to throw it away.
Gu Shengsheng said, "By the way, take out the things and let me see them."
Now let’s confirm it first. If it is also a tripod from the Chu State, then we can also know that it is the tomb of the Chu State’s nobles.
He just saw that the shape was somewhat similar to the Four-Ram Square Tripod, but he couldn't see it clearly on the phone.
If it is indeed a Four-Ram Square Tripod, then it is from the Shang Dynasty and has little to do with the Chu State. So the matter will probably become even more confusing.
But it is definitely impossible to dig deeper now because we don’t have the authority.
At most, we can just identify this tripod now and wait for Zhao Dehai to come tomorrow, which can save some time.
When Gu Shengsheng and his coworkers carried the tripod out, another coworker rushed over in a hurry.
He apologized frantically to Gu Shengsheng: "We didn't know about this serious relationship. It's probably because we sent you the message about the tripod that you got involved!"
"It's okay." Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "It's normal to encounter anything in this line of work. I bought that piece of land, and if anything happens in the future, I'll be responsible. It's better to find out now."
As she spoke, she took out the flashlight she often used, the magnifying glass she often used, and some miscellaneous small items from her pocket.
The worker was surprised: "Miss, your bag is big enough for us to take to the construction site. It's so small and yet it can hold so much."
Gu Shengsheng said, "I recommend the link to you. I also installed clamps, gourd clamps, a small hammer and a small saw blade..."
She took out the things in her pocket as if she were counting all her treasures.
Even though they were two workers who used these things frequently, they still felt that Gu Shengsheng's small bag was like a toolbox.
This is so awesome!
Gu Shengsheng finally saw what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't the Four-Ram Square Tripod from the Shang Dynasty, but a bronze wok tripod from the Chu State.
This tripod looks very domineering after cleaning the dust on the surface with a small brush.
The original color will be revealed.
However, the Chu State is too far away from the present time, and this bronze wok tripod can be said to be seriously worn. But after restoration, it is still a cultural relic of historical significance.
After Gu Shengsheng finished reading it, he said, "It's pretty much the same. It should be a bronze cauldron from the Chu State. The cemetery you unearthed should be from that time."
"I don't know the details yet, someone will go and take a look tomorrow."
One of the workers was very upset: "In the beginning, they were dug out by an excavator. At that time, we were building a construction site. We just picked up a few coins at random."
"Unexpectedly, someone said these coins could be sold for money, so we became interested and continued to pick them up. Later, we found that the deeper we dug, the more we found."
"We also dug up this tripod at the back yesterday."
"When we saw someone coming to buy the land, we hid our stuff in the abandoned attic. We waited until you left before we took it out. I didn't expect it would be you who came to see the land."
Gu Shengsheng smiled helplessly and said, "What a coincidence."
This imprisonment was almost inevitable.
But now is not the time to be optimistic, what if something unexpected happens tomorrow.
Gu Shengsheng gave many instructions, and the two workers, who were honest men, carried the tripod back to the construction site the next morning.
When Gu Shengsheng arrived at the location, the owner of the douzhi shop greeted her, "Are you here to see your land so early in the morning?"
"So precious. I told you it's just some desolate place that no one wants. It's bustling with ghosts at night, but no one visits it during the day."
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "I want to go and have a look too. I just bought it and I like it."
As he said that, he hurried over.
Before the douzhi shop owner could say anything, he saw a handsome young man wearing a police uniform.
There was a group of people following behind him, chasing in the direction Gu Shengsheng had just left.
Douzhi shop owner: "..."
"Could it be that he's here to see Miss Gu? His luck isn't going well! As expected, don't just buy land next to a grave, or your so-called luck will get much worse."
So the douzhi shop owner spread the story over the next few years, telling everyone he met, and the story became more and more outrageous...
But that’s all in the past.
——
Gu Shengsheng had just walked into the building and saw two workers standing there.
Facing a big pit.
Gu Shengsheng leaned over and asked, "Did you dig it out from here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gun was pointed at his neck!
This was her first time encountering such a situation and she was frightened. She was very cooperative.
He said, "Comrade, don't be impulsive. I will cooperate..."
Then the young man leading the team took out his work badge and said, "We are cultural relics inspection police. Someone reported you for illegally selling cultural relics."
When Gu Shengsheng was about to explain patiently, the two workers were terrified...
