Chapter 341 Han Dynasty Tomb

Suddenly, he sat up abruptly, memories flooding back.

He looked around. The place that was once filled with antiques was now empty, with only messy footprints and scattered debris left.

"Where are the things we stole?" Pang Pang's eyes widened and bloodshot. "Where are our things? How come they are all gone?"

He got up madly and searched around frantically.

"Everyone, get up!" Pang Pang roared, kicking his still-drowsy subordinates. "Someone stole your stuff. Get the hell out of bed!"

His men screamed and groaned after being kicked by him, and sat up in a daze.

"Boss, what's going on?" A tall and thin man rubbed his eyes and asked weakly.

"The things are gone! All our antiques are gone!" Pang Pang roared, with veins bulging on his forehead.

"Someone must have taken advantage of us being unconscious and done something to us. It's all your fault, you useless guys. You all slept like dead pigs!" He cursed and kicked the people around him to vent his anger.

Everyone finally woke up and realized what had happened, and began to look around in panic.

Some people kept muttering "It's over, it's over", while others were pale, standing there with empty eyes.

"What should we do now, boss?" asked a small man in a crying voice.

Fatty Pang clenched his fists and said viciously, "I won't let this go. If anyone dares to steal my things, I will find them and make them pay the price!"

At this time, someone asked softly, "Boss, do you think it was Boss Ye's people who did it?"

Pang Pangzi's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. He snorted coldly and said:

"Who else could it be if not him? But what's the point of saying this now!

Let’s go back again, otherwise we will lose both the wife and the army this time!”

Lin Panpan didn't care about Pang Pangzi's anger. She drove all the way and returned to the village smoothly.

Once they entered the village, they sent their backpacks to Eagle's Beak Peak.

After arriving at Eagle's Beak Peak, Lin Panpan couldn't wait to open her backpack and carefully look through the items inside one by one.

The first item Lin Panpan took out from her backpack was a bronze rhinoceros jar with inlaid gold and silver cloud patterns.

The body of the statue is in the shape of a rhinoceros, standing on all fours with its head held high.

The craftsmanship was complex. Lin Panpan whispered, "This tomb should be from the Han Dynasty."

Lao Jia nodded and said, "Not bad."

She took out a jade dancer pendant, the jade was translucent and bluish-white in color.

The dancer's long sleeves flutter, her figure is graceful, and the lines are smooth and simple. Her graceful dance posture is portrayed with just a few strokes. The texture of the jade woman's clothing is also carved in great detail, with a belt at the waist and sleeves fluttering in the wind, making the shape lifelike.

She frowned slightly and said:

“I don’t see the point of this, after all, I don’t know much about jade.

Wait until Gu Mobai comes and let him take a look, maybe he can see some clues."

Lin Panpan couldn't wait to take out the things in her backpack, and a pile of silver ingots rolled out.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she picked up a silver ingot and looked at it carefully.

The silver ingot is waisted in shape, with slightly raised ends, and the bottom of the ingot is all honeycomb-shaped.

The silver ingot was engraved with words and symbols all over. Although the handwriting was a little blurry, Lin Panpan was able to recognize the key information at a glance.

"This thing looks very familiar to me." Lin Panpan couldn't help but speak out, and gently stroked the words on the silver ingot with her fingers: "These are all silver ingots made by the government."

She turned the silver ingot over and found a clearer inscription on the bottom: "Guanghan County Casting Office".

Seeing these words, Lin Panpan couldn't help but exclaim:

"It turns out it was produced by the Guanghan County Foundry. During the Han Dynasty, the Guanghan County Foundry was famous for its exquisite craftsmanship and strict quality control, and was specially used to produce silver ingots for the government.

These silver ingots were most likely used for important purposes such as large-scale transactions, tax payments, or rewards for officials.

Ordinary people have no access to it at all. To find it in this huge tomb shows how high the status of the tomb owner was."

Lin Panpan took out the pair of jade bowls from her backpack again.

The jade bowl is carved from white marble with a pure texture. Under the dim light of the flashlight, it emits a soft warm white glow.

The jade is delicate and warm to the touch, and the bowl wall is evenly thick. The most amazing thing is the carved patterns on the bowl body, which is very grand.

Putting down the jade bowl, Lin Panpan turned her gaze to the pile of copper coins.

She gently moved the coins aside and searched carefully.

Most of these Han Dynasty copper coins are Wuzhu coins, which are round outside and square inside, and the surface of the coins is covered with verdigris.

Among these hundreds of copper coins, a few are particularly eye-catching.

The three gold five-zhu coins are shaped like the common five-zhu coins, but they are golden all over and feel heavy to the touch.

As a gold currency minted during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Gold Five Zhu is rare and priceless.

Lin Panpan remembers that every time she appeared, it would trigger fierce bidding, and the transaction price would repeatedly set new highs.

Another one is the Shanglin Sanguan Wuzhu.

This coin is exquisitely crafted, with regular outlines and holes, and the two characters "Wu Zhu" written in strong and powerful strokes.

It was minted by Shanglin Sanguan, a specialized coin minting institution during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and represented the highest level of coinage at that time.

Lin Panpan carefully put all these things away and said, "Let's go out! Lao Jia, the New Year is coming tomorrow. Do you have enough food in your village?"

This question really touched Lao Jia's heart. He smiled bitterly, shook his head slowly, and sighed helplessly:

"There is a shortage of food in the village every year. The elderly cannot do heavy work, but they have to help out even if they go there. Even so, they still can't get enough to eat.

I was worried! I was thinking of melting the gold you gave me and exchanging it for some food."

Lin Panpan raised the corner of her mouth and said, "No need to buy it. I'll give you 50 bags of food and some meat. I'll send it to you by truck when the time comes."

Lao Jia's eyes instantly turned red. He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said in a choked voice, "Then you don't have to give me so much gold."

"Hey, don't keep thinking about this." Lin Panpan waved her hand:

"I'll give you all the ones I owe you. Consider it your reward for this mission.

After the new year, we will send all the children here to study. Since the school is closed this year, we can all have a good New Year."

Old Jia nodded hurriedly, his words a little incoherent with excitement: "Yes, I know, I know."

Lin Panpan turned around and told Lin Feng: "Go get 50 bags of food, and some meat and fish."

All the meat at home is stored in the ice cellar. We cannot finish it all. There are several ice cellars alone, and there are three large cellars in Eagle's Beak Peak.

Lin Feng responded and left quickly. After a while, he was seen bringing a few people, moving 50 bags of grain, two large bags of pork and dozens of fish onto the truck.

Lao Jia felt like he was dreaming. He knew he had followed the right person this time.
