Chapter 372 Digging the Gate

Lu Fei chatted with Xu Maochen for more than two hours before asking Chen Xiang to leave on his own.

When they got to the car, Dong Jianye chased him out.

"Lu Fei, how was your conversation with Xu Maochen? Has he made it clear to you?"

"What's the truth?"

"I'll go, why are you pretending to be stupid with me?"

"Did Xu Maochen tell you about the Xu family uncle, and who was involved in the Zhongzhou Museum case?"

"The most important thing is, where are the real good things of the Xu family hidden?" Dong Jianye asked.

"Sorry, I didn't ask." Lu Fei said lightly.

"did not ask?"

"You kid go to graves and burn newspapers to fool ghosts?"

"I didn't ask why it took so long to come out?"

"Boss Dong, are you interrogating me?" Lu Fei said with a frown.

"Well"

"Well, don't get me wrong, am I anxious?" Dong Jianye said awkwardly.

"in a hurry?"

"What are you anxious about?"

"The treasure stolen in Zhongzhou was recovered, and Xu Maochen confessed."

"The Hongshan Culture case has been solved, and all the culprits have been arrested. Why are you, Boss Dong, anxious after your merits have been fulfilled?"

"Are you anxious to raid Xu Maochen's house?" Lu Fei asked.

Dong Jianye said with a smile.

"You have a dirty heart, am I that kind of person?"

"Aren't I worried that there are other flaws in the case?"

"Haha, if there is any bad guy, Boss Dong, please investigate slowly. I am going to Bianliang to attend the wedding. I will not accompany you. Please take my leave."

"Ai ai"

"Is there anything else, Boss Dong?"

"Then what? Pay attention to safety on the road."

Dong Jianye wanted to ask something else, but seeing Lu Fei's face turned frighteningly dark, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After leaving the special place, Lu Fei asked Chen Xiang to drive the car to Xu Maochen's courtyard and watched it from a distance for a few minutes.

Xu Maochen’s family members, Lu Fei, have all been arranged. Now the Xu family’s female family members

Lu Fei was so emotional that it was inconvenient for him to show up.

After leaving the courtyard, the two went back to the hotel to pick up their things and headed straight to the airport.

At an altitude of 30,000 feet, Chen Xiang leaned on Lu Fei's shoulder and fell asleep sweetly, but Lu Fei had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

During the two-hour meeting, Xu Maochen told him everything and understood the whole story. Lu Fei admired Xu Maochen even more.

The Xu family is one of the four major collecting families in China. People think that the Xu family has a unique vision and has gradually accumulated and risen since its reform. Therefore, it is the weakest among the four major families.

actually not.

As early as the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the Xu family was the backbone of the Manchu Qing secret organization Dizimen.

What is Dizimen?

In fact, Dizimen is the Tomb Scorpion Faqiu Zhonglang Jiang, but it is an officially protected tomb-robber organization that only works for the imperial court.

This organization specializes in allocating money to steal the tombs of ancient dignitaries and dignitaries, and the stolen wealth is used to enrich the national treasury and military pay.

Faqiu Zhonglangjiang refers to excavation.

Qiu refers to the tomb.

Zhonglangjiang is an official name. In the Qin Dynasty, Zhonglang was appointed. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was divided into three Zhonglang offices: Wuguan, left and right. Each Zhonglang would command the emperor's bodyguards and belonged to Guang Luxun.

This line of business was not new to the Qing Dynasty. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao had thought of this organization that was immoral and could make a fortune overnight.

Cao Cao's success attracted the imitation and admiration of later generations.

Since the Three Kingdoms, such mysterious organizations have existed in almost every dynasty and every generation.

Such an organization does not matter whether you are of high or low origin, even if you are a death row prisoner, as long as you have real ability, the court will also attach great importance to using it.

The ancestors of the Xu family were the top masters of the Manchu Dizi Sect.

However, the ancestors of the Xu family were very scheming, and while serving the court, they also had selfish motives.

Sometimes when performing tasks, the ancestors of the Xu family would not report the ancient tombs that others had not discovered. Instead, they would secretly make records and pass them on to future generations for future reference.

Xu family

The skill of dividing gold and fixing acupuncture points has been passed down for hundreds of years, and almost all the men worked for the imperial court to dig children.

Because of their worry-free life, the Xu family has recorded the exact locations of dozens of ancient tombs over the past hundred years, but has not excavated any of them.

In the late Qing Dynasty, when the situation was turbulent, the Xu family secretly fled Tiandu City and lived in seclusion in Fengtian outside the pass.

Encountered rogue bandits on the road, who not only robbed all the property but also injured countless people.

In the end, only Xu Maochen's lineage came to Fengtian begging along the road.

Far away from the land of right and wrong, unable to live without money, Xu Maochang's grandfather started his old business of stealing graves and digging up graves to steal treasures.

Slowly, the Xu family has established a firm foothold in Fengtian.

After more than ten years of hard work, the Xu family finally prospered. However, after the September 18th Incident, the Japs entered the South Gate. The Xu family, which had a small fortune, once again became the leader and was mercilessly robbed by the Japs.

After liberation, the Xu family's life was miserable. The Xu family would definitely not be willing to suffer from hunger and cold while holding on to their skills.

After the situation stabilized, Xu Maochen's grandfather and father went into the Central Plains and robbed ancient tombs based on their ancestors' records of the exact locations of the treasure caves.

There is an old saying that the human heart is not enough but the snake swallows the elephant.

The two men started robbing graves to make a living, but later it became a hobby, and then it became almost a demon.

For more than ten years, Xu Maochen's grandfather and father robbed countless tombs and brought back a large amount of treasures.

After Xu Maochen's grandfather died, Xu Maochen's father, Xu Shizhong, committed crimes alone.

In 1974, Xu Shizhong was preparing to start with the Shang Dynasty ruins in Erlitou. However, just as he stepped on the plate, the official archaeological team entered to conduct archaeological excavations in Erlitou.

Seeing a large number of Shang Dynasty cultural relics being transported away by the archaeological team, Xu Shizhong was extremely unwilling.

Especially the Du Ling Fang Ding made Xu Shizhong worried.

Since then, Xu Shizhong has calmed down.

After the relocation, Xu Shizhong opened his first antique store in Fengtian City. The business was not prosperous, but it was well-known in the antique collecting world.

The theft of the Zhongzhou Museum in 1989 shocked China.

Coincidentally, that

After a group of thieves divided the stolen goods, one of them actually brought the treasure to the Northeast to sell the stolen goods.

What's more coincidental is that it didn't take long for the broker to find Xu Shizhong.

After meeting with the thieves, Xu Shizhong was surprised to find that the Du Ling Fang Ding he had been thinking about day and night was also in the hands of this group of thieves.

The price was negotiated and the delivery location was agreed upon, but Xu Shizhong had other ideas.

In order to prevent the incident from being revealed in the future, Xu Shizhong and his eldest son Xu Maoxing set a trap during the delivery, intending to kill them all, but they did not expect that the other party was also prepared.

Those days, the young Xu Maochen always felt that something was wrong with his elder brother and his father, so when the goods were delivered, Xu Maochen secretly followed him.

When Xu Maochen arrived at the trading location, he happened to see his eldest brother and his father fighting with six strong men, and there were three corpses lying on the ground.

Xu Maochen didn't have time to think too much, picked up a dagger from the dead body and rushed to help.

The three men fought to the death against six strong men. In the end, only Xu Maochen, who was seriously injured, survived.

After his father and eldest brother were buried, the ten trophies stained with the blood of the two closest relatives were permanently sealed by Xu Maochen.

Xu Maochen believed that the accidents that happened to his eldest brother and father were retribution for the Xu family's centuries of digging their graves.

Since the cause of his eldest brother's death was not revealed to anyone, and because he was never married, after Xu Maochen took charge of the Xu family, he erased all the marks of his eldest brother Xu Maoxing and did not allow anyone to mention Xu Maoxing.

The family suffered sudden changes, and Xu Maochen's wife suffered miscarriages one after another. Xu Maochen believed that this was retribution for his ancestors who had done too many immoral things.

From then on, Xu Maochen devoted himself to doing good and doing business in a down-to-earth manner.

When China suffered a natural disaster, Xu Maochen actively donated money and materials, hoping to offset the sins of his ancestors with merit.

As for the illegal goods and trophies, Xu Maochen hid them privately, and no one except Xu Maochen knew about them.

No, there's one other person who knows.

Xu Maochen told Lu Fei where these things were hidden.

Because Xu Maochen firmly believed that if he couldn't get out, the only person who could properly handle these things was Lu Fei.
