Next day.
Around 6 am.
Not long after dawn, Dong Xuebing heard laughter coming from one of the rooms in the County Party Committee Quarters. Dong Xuebing was woken up by his own laughter. He opened his eyes and realized he was dreaming. Dong Xuebing did not know how long he had been laughing, but his cheeks felt sore. He quickly stops laughing and massages his mouth and cheeks to feel better.
Dong Xuebing woke up.
Brushing his teeth and washing up.
Although Dong Xuebing had returned late last night and was still on Qingluan Hill at around 9 am, he was not sleepy. He was still thinking about the ancient tomb excavation on Qingluan Hill. That's why he did not sleep in and woke up early for breakfast. Dong Xuebing is in a good mood, and he prepared an exquisite breakfast for himself. There are dry, watery, salty, bland, meat, vegetables, and everything else. Dong Xuebing's stomach is bulging after eating so much.
Ring … ring … ring …
Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
Dong Xuebing burped and cleared his throat before answering the call.
"Secretary, you are awake?" It was his secretary, Su Yan.
"I am awake. What's up?" Dong Xuebing replied.
"I had just come down from Qingluan Hill, and a few relics were unearthed." Su Yan reported. "Including the bronze mirror and sword yesterday, there are 7 relics unearthed!"
Dong Xuebing snapped his fingers. "Good job. Oh, why did you go down so early? You started excavating so early in the morning? Who is in charge of it? "
Su Yan said, "It's Teacher Mu and Teacher Chu. I stayed at this hotel near Qingluan Mountain yesterday. At four o 'clock in the morning, Teacher Mu and the others came looking for me. They said that they wanted to go up the mountain to take a look and asked me to find someone to lead the way for them. I heard that the light was limited last night and they couldn't see clearly, so they wanted to go over earlier. After daybreak, they could roughly delineate the range of the ancient tombs and make some marks and measurements. I don't understand the professional terms. Last night, you instructed me to listen to the three professionals for the site exploration work, so I went up the mountain with a few staff members with Teacher Mu and the others. I wanted to report to you, but it was only four or five o' clock.
Dong Xuebing asked. "Xiao Su, don't go back up the mountain. Go back to the hotel and have a good rest. Don't overwork yourself."
Su Yan smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm full of energy."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Just be careful." He looked at the time, and it's almost 7 pm. "I will go over now."
Su Yan said, "Then I'll go find some breakfast for the teachers. It doesn't matter what we staff eat, but it's not good to make the teachers suffer."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Alright. You go ahead."
After hanging up, Dong Xuebing packed his things and called his driver, Xiao Wang, to send him to Qing Luan Mountain.
At the bottom of the mountain.
The car arrived, and there were some cars from Jiaolin County parked there.
Dong Xuebing can still recognize the roads and did not ask any villagers to lead the way. He walked up the mountain by himself. He jogged all the way and treated it as his morning exercise. Dong Xuebing breathed in the fresh air of the forest and felt refreshed. This is also a joyous occasion.
Ten minutes later, he was about to reach the site.
But suddenly, Dong Xuebing's ears twitched. He heard a loud argument coming from above. It seems like someone is causing trouble!
Dong Xuebing's face turned black!
… …
On the mountain.
The excavation site.
A large patch of turf was gone, and there were many pits on the ground. Some were deep, some were shallow. Seven to eight relics were lying quietly on the side. They were all wrapped in protective bags. Not far away, there were many small flags of different colors as markers. There were even lines drawn on the ground, dividing the area into several areas. Obviously, these were the results of Teacher Chu and the rest's hard work. The excavation site was starting to take shape, and it was very professional. If it wasn't for the teachers' guidance and arrangement, the people from Jiaolin County would not be able to do anything.
But now, a group of people barged into the site.
It turned out to be the police of Yanbei County. More than a dozen police officers came one after another. As soon as they arrived, they surrounded all the staff of Jiaolin County without saying a word. Mu Zhengzhong, Teacher Chu, and the others were no exception.
"All of you, stop!"
"Who asked you to dig? Ah? "
"This is Yanbei County's territory!"
"All of you, get lost! Take your own tents away from me! If you don't take them away, we will throw them away! Do you hear me?! "
More than a dozen police officers were aggressive and did not even ask any questions. They started scolding the people. One of them even pulled out his gun.
Jiaolin County's staff was shocked.
The people from the Cultural Bureau had never seen such a scene before and did not say a word.
But the two Jiaolin County's officers who stayed behind were furious. "Who are you?!"
The leader of the police officers looked at them coldly. "Who do you think we are?! Shut up! We are from Yanbei County's Public Security Bureau! Now! Get down the mountain now! If not, don't blame us for being rude! "
The Jiaolin County's officer shouted angrily. "Rude? We will not be polite! This is Jiaolin County's territory! Since when does it belong to your county?! "
The leader of the Yanbei County's officers laughed. "Fine. How dare you excavate our County's ancient tombs and steal our relics without our County's permission?! You still dare to dawdle here?! You don't want to leave? Fine! "He waved his hand." Arrest all of them! Cuff them up! Smash all their things! "
The other Jiaolin County's police officer shouted. "You dare?!"
"See if we dare!" That person was extremely arrogant.
A person from Yan Bei County suddenly walked to the tent of the working group. With a kick, the tent was flipped over. The things inside were all knocked over. Then, a few policemen from Yan Bei County saw the searchlight on the ground. They picked up their batons and smashed the searchlight into pieces!
Dang!
Dang!
Dang!
Teacher Chu was furious. "Stop!"
The leader of the Yanbei County's officers stared at him. "You dare to touch our County's things and you still want us to stop? We saw you digging there earlier! Do you believe I won't charge you with stealing relics?! "
Mu Zhengzhong was amused. "Young man, think before you speak!"
The leader of the police officers sneered. "Am I talking to you?! What are you talking about! Do you want to die?! "
One of the police officers recognized Mu Zhengzhong and quickly pulled the leader of the police officers and whispered to him.
The leader of the police officers frowned and looked at Mu Zhengzhong, then at Teacher Chu and Teacher Meng. "So you are experts in the cultural relics industry. I thought you are from Jiaolin County's Cultural Relics Bureau. I'm sorry, but excavating our County's things without our County's permission is not right? There's no need to say anything. We will definitely give face to these teachers. Please go back first. If there is a need in the future, our Yanbei County will hire these experts to help us excavate. But for now, we have to stop for a while! "
Teacher Meng said coldly. "We are here for our country and to learn about history. We are not hired by you. You want us to leave and help you just because you want us to? Who do you think you are? "
Teacher Chu was so angry that he laughed. "You think we are small fries that can come and go at your beck and call?"
Although Mu Zhengzhong and Teacher Meng were not experts in archaeological excavation, Teacher Chu was a genuine member of the national archaeological team. He had led teams to excavate many famous tombs. He was even the Deputy Director of the Institute of Cultural Relics. Now, he was being scolded by the Yanbei County Police as if they were helping Jiaolin County to excavate ancient tombs for money. It was ridiculous.
Teacher Chu's face turned serious and said to the dozen police officers. "I think you are the ones who should get lost! This is an archaeological site! Those who have no business here, get out! "
Hey!
Old man!
You don't want my face?
The leader of the police officers from Yanbei County had also lost his patience. In fact, he had never been patient before. Otherwise, he would not have smashed things and scolded them. Hence, he did not look at the three teachers and continued to order. "Get rid of them! If they don't leave, I will arrest them! Are they rebelling?! " After that, he saw the seven or eight newly excavated relics lying on the ground. He immediately walked up. "Collect the relics and bring them back!"
Teacher Chu was furious. "I will see who dares to touch them!"
Mu Zhengzhong said. "You are destroying the archaeological site! If there are any problems, can you bear the responsibility? These are historical relics from thousands of years ago! "
That police officer laughed. "These are our county's relics. If there are any problems, we don't need to worry."
"Your county's relics?" Teacher Meng said angrily. "These are historical relics! They are the country's property! "
"Let go of me!" Seeing that the leader of the police officers from Yanbei County was about to snatch the relics, the police officers from Jiaolin County rushed up to stop him.
The leader of the police officers had a bad temper. He slapped the police officer from Jiaolin County. "Cuff him! Bring him back! "
Yanbei County had a lot of people, and they were imposing!
Mu Zhengzhong suppressed his anger and looked at the destroyed site. He looked at the smashed tents and searchlights. He turned to look at one of the staff from Jiaolin County. "There's no signal here. Quickly get your Secretary Dong over!"
That staff replied and was about to leave the hill. But when he turned around, he was stunned. He was overjoyed.
There was no need to call him. Dong Xuebing had arrived. He walked over and looked at the mess on the ground. When he opened his eyes again, Dong Xuebing was smiling. The people from Jiaolin County saw Dong Xuebing and felt a chill down their spines. They knew Dong Xuebing was mad. Everyone looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
Dong Xuebing is here!
These people from Yanbei County will be in trouble!
You guys really don't have eyes! Don't you know our County's Party Secretary is a hooligan?! You all dare to be arrogant in front of us? You all still dare to scold and beat us up? You all are asking for it!
