Riding the wind of rebirth

After sending his classmates to the train, Zhou Zhi began to prepare to go home. This time he didn't even have to drive himself because Yan Xiao, Zhao Zhonggang and Yang He were with him.

Yan Xiao hadn't been home for several years. It was rare that the provincial team didn't go abroad for competition this year. Zhao Zhonggang was going home to hold his wedding, so Liu Lu, Liang Hong, Guan Tingting and Zhang Lu were also there, and the car was full.

But just before leaving, Zhou Zhi received a call from Lin Wanqiu: "Elbow, come to Hong Kong as soon as possible."

"What?" Zhou Zhi's immediate reaction was to refuse: "I didn't go home during the summer vacation. I want to go home to see my grandma."

"Something big has happened! You might really need to come here first." Lin Wanqiu rarely made a fuss like she usually did, but softened her voice: "After thinking it over, I think you're the right person."

"Sister Wanqiu?" Zhou Zhi felt that something serious might have happened due to such an abnormal attitude: "Are you... okay?"

This woman is a pregnant woman now, and it's worrying and scary for her to talk like this.

"It's not my body. Do you know Wang Chuzhi's tomb?"

"I don't know where Wang Chuzhi's tomb is, but I know Wang Chuzhi himself," Zhou Zhi said.

There is a famous kiln in the history of Chinese porcelain called Ding Kiln, which developed into one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. Later, it became the most important porcelain kiln influencing the north. Until the early Ming Dynasty, it could still be regarded as the dual heroes together with Jingdezhen.

The earliest origin of Dingzhou Kiln can be traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties. It rose in the Five Dynasties and prospered in the Song Dynasty.

It was able to rise in the Five Dynasties because Dingzhou was an important strategic location in the Five Dynasties. Together with Yizhou, Qizhou and Zhenzhou, it formed a military town to the north of Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang, and to the south of Yanmen Pass, Zhuoxian and Yixian - the Yiwu Army Jiedushi Town.

This Jiedushi town lasted for more than 30 years, controlling the most important military stronghold in the north. Twenty-two of these years were controlled by a powerful hero at the time. Many stories about him were recorded in the "History of Five Dynasties". He was the Jiedushi of Wujun, King of Beiping, Wang Chuzhi.

"Zhou Zhi, right? Do you also know Wang Chuzhi?" A strange male voice came from the other side.

"In the Old History of the Five Dynasties, it is said that he was 'divided into two classes, Yi and Ding, and was already a high-ranking marquis. On the one hand, he was deceived by treacherous ministers and overthrew his clan, and on the other hand, he favored an evil son and lost his country. Why? Because he had been rich and powerful for a long time, and he did not cultivate benevolence and righteousness. His eyes were dazzled by beauties and his ears were seduced by music. Therefore, he could not prevent treason before it happened and detect disasters before they started. He was defeated and perished one after another. Who is to blame?' There is nothing good about it." Zhou Zhi casually recited Xue Juzheng's evaluation of Wang Chuzhi: "Eh? Who are you?"

"I'm Liang Pingyi from the Security Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau." The man on the other side spoke in a steady voice: "It seems that Wanqiu did not recommend the wrong person. Comrade Zhou Zhi, Wang Chuzhi's tomb has been robbed. The situation we are facing now is very complicated. We will discuss it in detail when you come."

"Wang Chuzhi's tomb was robbed?" Zhou Zhi was a little surprised, but also a little unconvinced: "The tombs of the Yan Dynasty have been robbed thousands of years ago, right? Apart from a few large tombs that have not been visited, what good things can be left in the tomb of a prince in troubled times like Wang Chuzhi?"

Liang Pingyi sighed visibly, "It is because of our thinking that the tomb robbers took advantage of us. But we still have a chance to make amends. The country needs you now. Please take the flight tonight to come to Hong Kong Island. We may have to go to the United States next."

"Oh," Zhou Zhi didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore: "I'll book the ticket right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Zhi quickly called the shipping terminal. They were well-fed, so it was easy to get a ticket. After asking them to help him get the ticket, Zhou Zhi called home, left a message for Jiang Shuyi, and told Yang He to take his luggage back first, saying that he had an urgent matter to go to Hong Kong Island and had to leave in the evening.

Yang He, on the contrary, was not surprised. Zhou Zhi would often disappear for a day or two, or even a week or two. He was so heartless that he hurt Zhou Zhi's feelings and said, "It's just right that you don't go back. I'll call Su Datou and ask him to vacate a seat here so that he can come home together."

The family seemed to have the same attitude. In fact, Zhou Zhi himself didn't quite understand what was going on. But when his father heard that it was the Security Department of the Cultural Relics Bureau who was looking for him, and that it was related to tomb robbing, he immediately thought of the story about national treasures lost overseas that was promoted and educated on the TV news a few days ago when reporting on the exhibition of returned cultural relics.

Therefore, I just reminded him to cooperate well with the work of state officials, no matter if they want to rely on your knowledge of cultural relics identification, restoration knowledge, or English level. In short, you must breathe with the motherland and share the fate with the people. As for home, just try to come back to celebrate the Spring Festival. Anyway, it is still considered a festival until the fifteenth day of the lunar year, so there is still a month left.

This is the tradition of the Zhou family, so Zhou Zhi felt relieved.

That night, Zhou Zhi flew to Hong Kong Island and met with Lin Wanqiu and Liang Pingyi at the China News Agency.

Now that the return is imminent, various handover work has begun in full swing. The Hong Kong China News Service appears to be a media organization on the surface, but in fact it plays an extremely important role and has made extremely important contributions to national affairs. It has almost assumed the functions of a national overseas agency, and is even more comprehensive and complex.

Liang Pingyi is tall and strong, with a resolute look on his face and a short haircut, and he has the temperament of a soldier.

Lin Wanqiu was already pregnant, and her features seemed to have become much softer, and her expression seemed to be filled with some maternal love. She was relieved to see Zhou Zhi: "I should have participated in this matter, but my father-in-law wouldn't let me in this situation. I was in a hurry, so I thought of you."

Yes, although Lin Wanqiu has always been relatively independent, her identity is still obvious. In addition to being the general manager of Hanhai Art Auction Company, she is also the heir to the largest silver shop and convenience store in Hong Kong Island, the successor to the Li family's business empire, the wife of Li Laoer, a tycoon in Hong Kong Island's mobile communications industry, and is currently pregnant with the third generation of the Li family. Being able to sit here with Liang Pingyi and wait for Zhou Zhi to arrive is already a huge honor.

Just think about the situation. They have already let Xu Anxin, who is pregnant with a baby, and Li Laosan go to England. If they let Lin Wanqiu fly to the United States, no matter how good Li Qiyan's personal doctor is, he may not be able to control the old man's blood pressure.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Zhou." Liang Pingyi stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Zhi's. The force made Zhou Zhi numb for a moment. "Wanqiu said that your English and Cantonese are not inferior to hers, and your cultural relic identification skills are even better than hers. After seeing your literary and historical knowledge, she told us that you were taught by several old gentlemen. It seems that you are indeed a very suitable candidate."

After saying that, he emphasized: "I just received opinions from the capital, and they also think you are suitable."

"It's related to the country, so I must do my best." Zhou Zhi nodded: "But I'm just a college student, Uncle Liang, just call me Elbow."

Then he helped Lin Wanqiu sit on the sofa: "What exactly happened?"

"It's like this." Liang Pingyi said as he opened his big wallet and took out a few A4-sized photos and placed them on the coffee table. "In fact, Wang Chuzhi's tomb was broken into by tomb robbers as early as the Jin Dynasty, and the burial objects in the back room were stolen. In order to prevent tomb robbery, the builders used stone bricks to block the front and back rooms and camouflaged them, so the front room has never been discovered."

"This spring, a group of criminals from Shanzhou and Xianzhou in Shaanxi Province came to Xiyanchuan with explosives and used blasting and digging shafts to rob Wang Chuzhi's tomb. After entering the front room, they looted the burial objects in the front room and the left and right side rooms, and stole the ten reliefs inlaid in the corridor and the four walls of the front room!"

Zhou Zhi picked up the photo on the table and took a look at it. His heart skipped a beat. Damn, I met someone who knows what he is talking about! (End of this chapter)
