**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan The thousand-year-old tomb has been repeatedly infested by thieves. From ancient times to the present, the trend of thick burials has given rise to tomb robbing. Nowadays, the law severely punishes the theft and excavation of ancient tombs, which can be timeless or indefinite.
But if your tomb is stolen, will it also be punished by law?
Lu Fuping of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, is a representative of tomb robbers, but in his family history, there is a Lu Dalin, who is known as the originator of archaeology, and this Lu Dalin has successfully confused many tomb robbers with his profound funerary culture skills and exquisite tomb design.
His invention of the "tomb within a tomb" design, like a "labyrinth" of the tomb, made it difficult for tomb robbers to escape. Lü Dalin's tomb was quite well protected, and many tomb robbers were frustrated because of this.
However, the world is unpredictable, and Lu Dalin's descendants were actually pitted by the tomb he designed, which is really not as good as heaven.
* Received reports of theft of ancient tombs and plans to smuggle their antiques to the black market. **Immediately set up a task force and launch a pursuit. Insiders revealed that the tomb was stolen from the tomb of the Song Dynasty "Cheng Lang", and most of the resold porcelain was Song Dynasty porcelain.
What is surprising is that the descendants of the famous archaeologist Lu Dalin turned out to be greedy and cunning tomb robbers, which is really an unheard of reversal. So, what's going on here?
In the Song Dynasty, though"Promise Lang"is only a seven-rank civil official, and his status is not prominent. However, the Song Dynasty was the first period of Chinese porcelain art, and countless artistic treasures were born, which were priceless.
If these porcelains are stolen on a large scale, it will cause irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of our country. In addition, Shaanxi Province is known for"A natural treasure trove of history"Many imperial tombs are buried here, and countless treasures are available.
Under the huge profits, tomb robbery in Shaanxi Province is rampant. In the face of this situation, Shaanxi ** has also become accustomed to it and remains vigilant at all times. After a period of investigation, Lantian County** found three suspicious villagers.
These tomb robbers are all from Wulitou Village, and they live in difficult conditions by farming on weekdays.
Lu Fuping, a former tomb robber, was idle when he was young and did not start working until he was 43 years old. At that time, he suddenly recalled the story of tomb robbery told by his elders when he was a child, and the older generation in the village told him: "If you want to be rich, dig ancient tombs." ”
Locally, tomb robbing is a common way to make a fortune, and people are not ashamed of it. Therefore, when Lu Fuping was in trouble, he first thought of robbing tombs to make a living.
In 2001, Lu Fuping participated in a tomb robbery, and was finally caught and sentenced to one year in prison. After being released from prison, he did not give up the idea of tomb robbing, and even began to look for a new place to rob the tomb.
In order to find an assistant, he coaxed two uneducated peasants as apprentices, and gradually grew his team of tomb robbers. In 2005, he and his family went to the ancestral grave of the family to pay respects to his deceased mother, which was also an opportunity for him to find a place to rob the grave.
At a family gathering, Xiong and Ding told Lu Fuping about the history of their Lu family, saying that the four brothers of the Lu family in their ancestors, "Three Su and Four Lu", were well-known in the Song Dynasty, and there were prime ministers and archaeologists in the family.
Listening to this, Lu Fuping suddenly had a ** idea - he wanted to "dig up ancestral graves", because as far as he knew, the ancestors of the big families often left rich tombs.
Lu Fuping's tomb robbing skills are perfect, and he often talks about feng shui matters with his teammates, and his demeanor exudes a unique arrogance. Although the other members of the team were dissatisfied with his commanding attitude, they could only obey his command due to their own low level of education.
According to Lu Fuping's arrangement, Qiu was responsible for financing the purchase of vehicles and tools, Tian assisted in making explosives, and Ding and Xiong assisted him in finding a suitable place to rob the grave.
Finally, they decided to start the grave robbery programme on 10 January 2006. Sure enough, in the middle of the night on the 11th, Lu Fuping's five-person tomb robbery team, after everything was ready, came to the tomb robbery site they selected.
Tian and other tomb robbers first blew up a hole in Lu Fuping's ancestral tomb, with a diameter of 60 centimeters, which could only accommodate one person. After they exhausted the smoke, Qiu commanded Ding, Xiong and Tian to enter the cave, and Lu Fuping was responsible for letting the wind out because he was lazy.
Subsequently, they carefully took out various cultural relics, such as smokers, bronze tripods, white porcelain plates, etc. Under the moonlight, these treasures that have been sealed for thousands of years shine brightly.
It is a pity that Lu Fuping sees these treasures as a tool to make money.
Due to the excessive number of cultural relics and the difficulty of excavation, Lu Fuping's team stole 119 cultural relics three times in one night, hoping to live a comfortable life by reselling cultural relics, but in the end it was difficult to escape the law.
According to the tips of local residents, ** rushed to Lantian County, but did not find any clues about the cemetery and cultural relics. Meanwhile, Lü Fuping had fled with his artefacts, hiding in a hotel in the southern suburbs of Xi'an and buying a plane ticket to Guangzhou.
* After learning about it, he immediately rushed to the southern suburbs of Xi'an and conducted a comprehensive investigation of all possible hotels, which lasted one day and one night, and checked more than 20 hotels, not letting go of any room.
* During the investigation of a case, he came to the outside of a normal room in a hotel, and no matter how he knocked on the door, the person inside resolutely refused to open the door, and the sound of a conversation was heard in the room. As a rule of thumb, it is speculated that the people inside the house may be ventilating.
So, ** broke into the door decisively and successfully captured two tomb robber gang members, Ding and Xiong. In the face of the severe torture of **, the two confessed the hiding places of Lu Fuping, Qiu, Tian and other three accomplices, and provided them with important clues.
* Acted quickly, rushed to Lu Fuping's villa, successfully captured the mastermind Lu Fuping, and found 56 precious cultural relics in several large plastic bags, including porcelain, bronzes, bronze mirrors, etc.
In a cultural relics survey, a number of cultural relics spanning the Western Zhou Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty were found, but there was no Song Dynasty porcelain. After expert identification, it was confirmed that these artifacts were not the product of any dynasty.
* Interrogation in the interrogation room became more intense, but the suspect, Qiu Zhaojun, insisted that he had excavated Song dynasty porcelain but had been taken away by him. After investigation, it was found that Qiu Zhaojun was a person who had been using drugs for many years and could not leave drugs.
Whenever the addiction kicks in, he seeks out informants to buy drugs. Under the pursuit of ** Shunteng, Qiu Zhaojun was finally arrested.
When Qiu was questioned, he resolutely denied taking the cultural relics, but claimed that Lu Fuping's cultural relics were hidden in the villa, and he did not take any of them. His expression was innocent, and there seemed to be no trace of lying.
If Qiu is telling the truth, then there is a possibility that Lu Fuping will deceive **. The Shaanxi police officer, who realized that he had been tricked, immediately pointed the finger at Lu Fuping and interrogated him all night, trying to get the truth from him.
You've been arrested, and you can't escape, so it's better to tell the truth and cooperate with our investigation. In the face of the facts, Lu Fuping felt powerless and knew that it was irretrievable, so he sighed and said: "There are several places hidden, under the balcony, under the radiator decoration and in the mezzanine. ”
*According to information provided by Lü Fuping, 64 pieces of exquisite Song dynasty porcelain were found in these seemingly mundane places, many of which were treasures produced by official kilns.
After the all-out pursuit of **, four of the five-person tomb robbing gang have been successfully captured, and only one main culprit, Tian, is still on the run. In addition to Song Dynasty porcelain, some gilded bronze Buddha statues were also found in the tomb, and it is suspected that Tian may have taken these Buddha statues away.
However, in the process of fleeing, Tian had to turn himself in in a desperate situation because of uremia. **When asked if Tian had taken the Buddha statue away, Tian said that he had not lied and had already turned himself in.
At this moment, ** realized that Lu Fuping might still have undisclosed information. In the end, ** learned through questioning that the Buddha statue was hidden in the sleeve of Lu Fuping's father's padded jacket, and the padded jacket was folded in the wardrobe.
Lu Fuping finally pleaded guilty, and his face lost blood.
* Three precious gilded bronzes were successfully recovered from Lui's father's wardrobe, and all the stolen artifacts have been recovered. However, this grave robbery is not completely over.
Archaeologists speculate that the artifacts stolen by Lü Fuping accounted for only a small part of the tomb, and the tomb was not completely excavated. So, is it a crime to dig up one's ancestral grave?
Lu Fuping asked ** with a weak heart: "Comrade policeman, I stole my own ancestral grave, so I shouldn't be sentenced to a very heavy sentence, right?" In this regard, ** seemed very surprised: "What?
Your family's ancestral grave? This news shocked **, because it was unheard of to steal and excavate his own ancient tomb. At the same time, the archaeological team also rushed to the scene of Lu Fuping's tomb robbery.
The owner of the tomb is a seven-pin Chenglang, surnamed "Lu", from the Lu family in Lantian, Shaanxi, there is an outstanding talent in the history of the family - Lu Dalin, he is a famous archaeologist and collector of gold and stone in the Song Dynasty, known as the founder of the archaeological world, and his archaeological books are highly respected.
However, the ancestral tomb of Lu Fuping's family is located in a remote area, and there are no obvious traces of burial on the surface. So, how did Lu Fuping find this tomb? In this regard, Lu Fuping said frankly: "When I was a child, my father often took me to a flat ground to burn paper, and he said that the ancestors of the Lu family were buried underneath.
That's how I remember this place, until now. ”
Lu Fuping was convinced that tomb robbery was illegal, and he took it for granted that stealing his own tomb was no different from stealing. However, national law clearly stipulates that ancient tombs and ancient sites in the Qing Dynasty and before them are protected by the state and cannot be destroyed by private individuals.
Lu Fuping didn't know anything about it, and he didn't realize his mistake until ** exposed his lies.
Although the ancient tombs cannot be moved at will, and even if they do, no one will use bombs to blow through the ancestral tombs, or even hide the cultural relics secretly. No matter how Lu Fuping defended himself, his tomb robbery has become a fact and must be severely punished.
The Xi'an Municipal People's Court held that Lu Fuping's tomb robbery was of a heinous nature, and that he was a habitual offender with a criminal record, and that his use of destructive tomb robbery techniques led to the complete loss of the research value of the tomb.
As a result, the court sentenced Lu Fuping and Qiu Zhaojun to death with a two-year reprieve. The remaining three were found to be accomplices and sentenced to 15 years in prison. When ** tried to take Lu Fuping back to his hometown for identification, he refused to go back in every possible way.
* Later, I learned that Lu Fuping also had a father who was over the age of ten and a fifteen-year-old daughter in his family. Lu Fuping was afraid that returning to his hometown would make his family feel embarrassed, and he was even more worried that they would never be able to hold their heads up.
However, Lu Fuping didn't know that from the moment he started stealing the ancestral tomb, he had become a permanent sinner and unfilial descendant of the Lu family. Even if he had amassed a great deal of wealth through tomb robbing, would his family be able to use the illicit income with peace of mind?
