In May 2017, spring has passed and summer is approaching. In Youfeng Town, Wugong County, Shaanxi Province, Fan Long was taking tools and preparing to go to the field.
Fan Long, at the age of 36, was a well-known local honest man. However, it is useless to be honest, Fan Long's family is very poor, and his wife often accuses him of only knowing how to farm, not making money, and tiring the family to live a hard life.
In fact, Fan Long also wants to make money in his heart, but there is really no place to earn, he has no craftsmanship and no way out, and he can only rely on farming for a living. There were many worries in his mind, but the days still had to go on, but just as he walked to the vicinity of Zhang Yao Village, he accidentally found a collapse in the trees next to him...
Although there is no culture, after all, it is a native of Shaanxi, and I have been accustomed to the excavation of ancient tombs since I was a child. So as soon as he saw the collapse in front of him, he understood, Mom, there is an ancient tomb in this place!
I have been complaining that there is no chance, and this opportunity will come? Fan Long decided to dig up this ancient tomb. So he couldn't take care of farming anymore, so he went straight back home and made an excuse to ask his wife for 2,000 yuan. Then he went to the hardware store in the town and bought shovels, crowbars and other tools necessary for digging.
The next day, at six o'clock in the evening of May 22, he secretly went to the trees south of Zhang Yao Village to carry out illegal digging activities.
Because he had never excavated an ancient tomb, when he first excavated, Fan Long's heart was actually very nervous. However, with the deepening of the excavation, he found that the ancient tomb here was affected by time and time, and the distance between the tomb and the ground was very close, and he only spent half an hour digging up the ancient tomb and taking out three broken bronze mirrors from it.
The matter is not over, in the excavation to the north of the broken bronze mirror of the ancient tomb location 5, 6 meters, Fan Long found 2 ancient tombs again, so he still drew the gourd, continue to excavate. From these two tombs, he excavated six bronze ge and five clay pots in turn.
After taking out the cultural relics, Fan Long carefully buried the robbery cave and immediately left the place.
After returning home, Fan Long hid the relics in his yard and went inside to sleep. The next day, he got up early in the morning, carefully hid 14 cultural relics on his tricycle, and then went to the Wugong County Antique Market to look for buyers.
Soon, he contacted a cultural relics dealer Liu Mou, after seeing the cultural relics, Liu said that although these things are cultural relics, they are not valuable at all, and he can buy them for up to 8,000 yuan. Fan Long heard that it was worthless here, and there was no doubt in his heart, thinking that 8,000 yuan was not bad, so he traded it happily.
But what he didn't expect was that he was completely deceived by Liu. After purchasing cultural relics from Fan Long, Liu returned to Xi'an and sold the 14 cultural relics for a high price of 500,000 yuan.
In September 2018, Xi'an police cracked a case of reselling cultural relics, including 14 of Fan Long's cultural relics. So they traced back to the source and captured Liu. From Liu Mou, he heard fan Long's information and arrested him as well.
According to the identification of the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Appraisal research center, the three stolen ancient tombs, the lower limit of the No. 1 ancient tomb era is the Western Han Dynasty, and the No. 2 and No. 3 ancient tombs are the Western Han Dynasty, and the excavation behavior destroys the historical, scientific and artistic value of these three ancient tombs.
Of the 14 cultural relics that were stolen and excavated, 6 bronze ge were second-class cultural relics, and the rest were general cultural relics.
