On that cold and windy winter day in 2017, the air in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia seemed to be frozen, and the earth was covered in silver, on this day, a man named Yao Yuzhong stood in the dock of the court, this person known as "China's No. 1 tomb robber", at this time facing the death sentence! However, to everyone's expectations, Yao Yuzhong raised his head at this moment and declared loudly: "I can open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, you can't kill me!"
Such an astonishing sentence was like a pebble thrown into a pond, which stirred up layers of ripples and quickly aroused widespread attention and heated discussions in society! Yao Yuzhong's upbringing environment was not superior, and his family's economic conditions were average, however, he came from a different kind of family! His grandfather and father both made a living from Feng Shui, and in those days, Feng Shui masters were regarded as masters who could spy on the heavens and reach ghosts and gods, but many people did not know that this industry was also pregnant with unknown secrets! In such a family background, Yao Yuzhong has developed a strong interest in Feng Shui and the Book of Changes since he was a child, he did not complete junior high school, but with his love and dedication to Feng Shui, he gradually mastered some doors through self-study!
However, how did Yao Yuzhong step by step step into the abyss of crime? What is unique about his tomb robbing skills? It turned out that everything was due to his father, who was actually also a tomb robber, and in that era when people's awareness of protecting cultural relics was not strong, his father successfully exploited loopholes and secretly stole many ancient tombs! From father to son, Yao Yuzhong was exposed to it since he was a child, and not only learned his father's tomb robbing skills, but also made unique innovations on this basis, and developed a new tomb robbery tool -- "tie zi" to make tomb robbing more efficient and hidden!
Yao Yuzhong's hometown is the location of the Hongshan cultural site, where there are a lot of buried extremely precious cultural relics, as a "tomb robber family" he knows that the value of these cultural relics is heavenly, and the idea of robbing the tomb sprouted in his heart, his first pot of gold was obtained through the tomb robbery, and this successful experience, so that the fire of greed in his heart, the more and more prosperous and unable to sustain himself, as time goes by, he is no longer satisfied with the ancient tombs in his hometown, so many ancient tombs across the country are targeted by his greedy eyes!
He took the search for the ancient tomb and tomb robbery as the main task, and other trivial matters were handed over to his subordinates to deal with, he relied on the exquisite "dragon point", "ask for wind and water" and other ancestral skills, again and again to accurately find the location of the ancient tomb, his name quickly spread in the tomb robbery world, and became an admired industry boss, the number of his subordinates was once as high as more than 200 people! Under his leadership, the tomb robbery gang was invincible, and the ancient tombs around the country were looted by them, however, the sky net was restored, negligent but not leaky, Yao Yuzhong's crime was finally detected by the police, his name became a wanted criminal in the country, and his criminal experience has also become people's after-dinner conversation, his former high-profile, arrogant and arrogant, eventually led to his downfall!
His astonishing remark, "I can open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, you can't kill me!" has also become people's last memory! However, the astonishing fact is that this self-proclaimed feng shui master actually went so far as to have more than 200 ancient tombs frantically excavated by his gang in just one year, and made hundreds of millions of profits by reselling cultural relics, but when the law enforcement agencies finally arrested him, what was surprising was that he was penniless. Although his crazy tomb robbery behavior is staggering, it has also made him famous in the tomb robbery world, and more and more people worship him as a teacher, hoping to learn tomb robbery skills from him!
However, the self-indulgent life of this "master" led him into the quagmire of gambling, so much so that he even used cultural relics as collateral for loans, and as the number of tomb robberies increased, his criminal behavior was gradually exposed, and although he was very cunning, he finally failed to escape the punishment of the law! Time in 2013, suddenly, a large number of precious cultural relics emerged on the black market of cultural relics, which immediately caused a commotion in the market, at the same time, some people reported to the police that the stone mounds in Hongshan were stolen and excavated, and the police found that in just one year, there were more than 200 stone mounds that were stolen and excavated, which shocked the people!
The police then began an in-depth investigation and were determined to find out who was behind this and bring him to justice! After a period of investigation and investigation, they found that the movements of this gang of tomb robbers were very regular, with obvious characteristics, and the time of committing crimes was mainly concentrated in the three seasons of spring, summer, and autumn! These tomb robbers were good at using the deep grass and dense forests as a cover, and took advantage of the dead of night to steal and dig up stone mounds! What's even more infuriating is that the cunning tomb robbers, after digging the ancient tomb, will also bury the destroyed stone mound with soil, and then sprinkle grass seeds in an attempt to cover up the traces of crime! In order to effectively crack down on tomb robbery activities, the police have intensified patrols in the area of Hongshan, in a night patrol, the patrol officers found a suspicious person, this person is dressed in a dress, completely different from the local villagers, it seems to be very out of place, his behavior is sneaky, looking around on the mountain, seems to be looking for something from time to time, this suspicious person has aroused the vigilance of the police!
The police then decided to closely monitor his every move, and after a long period of surveillance, investigation, and evidence collection, the police obtained a large amount of criminal evidence of Yao Yuzhong's gang on December 7, 2014, and they took decisive action to arrest Yao Yuzhong in a hotel in the town! In the following interrogation, the evidence was ironclad, and Yao Yuzhong had to face the evidence presented by the police and confess his crime! He confessed to the police that in order to use the money in a hurry, he stole and dug up more than 200 ancient tombs between 2013 and 2014, and the value of the cultural relics obtained exceeded 500 million.
In 2017, the air in the court seemed to be frozen, Yao Yuzhong, who was standing in the courtroom, known as "China's No. 1 tomb robber", in the face of the death sentence, he not only did not show the slightest fear, but shouted loudly: "I can open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, you can't kill me!" This arrogant tomb robber, with the magical skills of observing the heavens and dividing gold and points, boasted of surpassing 100 archaeologists, he once confidently claimed that he could open the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is undoubtedly a provocation to the legal and archaeological circles! In the process of tracing, the police successfully recovered precious cultural relics worth more than 500 million yuan, which have been professionally appraised and confirmed their value, and also revealed the serious harm of tomb robbery and the destruction of cultural heritage!
Yao Yuzhong once made a name for himself in the underground cultural relics trading market with his unique tomb robbing skills, and his ability was amazing, but he chose to embark on the road of breaking the law, and finally reaped the consequences of his own life and came to the end of his life! Yao Yuzhong's case provides us with a clear warning that we should pay more attention to the protection of cultural relics and severely punish tomb robbery! Yao Yuzhong's ability to rob tombs is undoubtedly outstanding, he can rely on his skills and knowledge to accurately find the location of ancient tombs in a complex underground environment, and successfully steal the cultural relics inside, if this ability is used in legitimate ways, such as archaeological research or cultural relics protection, will undoubtedly bring more wisdom and skills of the ancients to people!
However, Yao Yuzhong chose to use it for illegal tomb robbery activities, causing huge losses to the national cultural relics! The case of Yao Yuzhong is a heavy lesson, he could have become a respected expert in the protection of cultural relics, but because of a single thought, he embarked on the road of breaking the law, and his ending is suffocating, but at the same time, it also reminds us that we should always remember the boundaries of the law and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past! As a member of society, we should pay more attention to the protection of cultural relics, and resolutely oppose any form of tomb robbery and smuggling of cultural relics.
At the same time, we should also encourage more people to take part in the protection of cultural relics, so that the wisdom and skills of the ancients can be inherited and carried forward! Although Yao Yuzhong's case is painful, it also provides us with a valuable lesson, let us take this as a warning, make joint efforts, and make positive contributions to the cause of protecting cultural relics!
