“How could this be? To think this is a eunuch’s tomb?”
“Yes, indeed! It’s simply impossible, right? Wasn’t this built following the layout of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s tomb? It must be Qin Ziying’s, right?”
“The analysis by the host does make sense, however. The fake imperial edict emerged, so it must be either Zhao Gao or Li Si. But Li Si couldn’t have been a eunuch, so it could only be Zhao Gao!”
“The layout is based on the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. Throughout the entire dynasty, only I, Zhao Gao, could have built such a tomb!”
“The most treacherous minister in history! Hahaha!”
“Amazing! But should he really be considered the most treacherous minister of all time? Without him, where would the Han dynasty come from?” “Was the Han dynasty as impressive as the Qin dynasty?”
“Uh, the Qin dynasty was not as impressive as the Han dynasty!”
“No, if the Qin dynasty continued to develop, perhaps it would have become a powerful empire as well!”
“Forget it! With that pattern, it would not have gone far! Continue developing you say?”
Many people chose to believe Luo Feng’s analysis. After all, all the clues so far had indeed pointed to Zhao Gao.
“Master Gu, our team members have analyzed the identity of the tomb’s owner.
Can you guess who it is?” At that moment, Gu Santong received a phone call. The caller seemed eager to take credit.
“Hmm, I think I know! Isn’t it Zhao Gao?” Gu Santong affirmed with a grunt.
The archaeologist on the other end of the line lost his smile, “How did you know?”
“Haha, Luo Feng had already figured it out a few minutes ago!” Gu Santong broke into a snicker.
Immediately after, The archaeologist felt a sense of defeat. This Luo Feng was truly impressive.
Before long, everyone returned to the tomb passage which was adorned with many murals.
“See? Didn’t I, Luo Feng, get it right?”
“The achievements on this mural indeed depict Emperor Qin Shi Huang unifying the six kingdoms!”
“But the protagonist is a man without a white beard!”
“Regardless of the version of the portraits or records of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, he is always depicted with a beard. It is rare for ancient emperors to be beardless, unless when they were young. There was a saying in ancient times: ‘One’s body and hair are received from one’s parents, and one cannot cut hair and shave beards easily.’ In other words, if you didn’t have a beard, people would think you were strange!”
“It’s evident that this clean-shaven man is Zhao Gao himself!” Looking at the first mural in the tomb passage, Luo Feng showed the livestream viewers a close-up shot of Zhao Gao on the mural.
“It’s truly incredible! If I hadn’t known the answer, I would still be clueless!”
Truth be told, for a brief moment, Su Meiji was somewhat in awe of this man. However, she was not one to admire a man easily. The feelings she felt were merely a fleeting moment.
However, Li Shishi was already gazing at Luo Feng with sparkling eyes. He was truly impressive, her future husband, that is. But would her husband become extremely wealthy once again because of this discovery? What was the astronomical price of each of these artifacts? She, of course, had no idea.
Neither did Li Shishi, nor Gu Santong, nor even the esteemed elder from the Palace Museum dare to make a definite estimation.
“Little Luo, I have some news for you. Tomorrow, a large group of archaeologists will arrive to help you excavate the ancient tomb!” “After all, such a tomb cannot be handled by amateurs!”
“Of course, everything here is yours and will always be yours!”
There were too few people currently on hand. The wealthy second-generation heirs were not professional at digging, and the cultural relics present were truly invaluable. Carelessly damaging even one of them would result in immeasurable loss.
It could be said that the value of this ancient tomb had already exceeded 10 billion yuan. 10 billion yuan. What a maddening figure!
On the other end of the phone were members of the national archaeology team. Not Gu Santong’s archaeology team. The national archaeology team was coming directly to help Luo Feng excavate the treasures. This indicated that the tomb was of immeasurably high value…
Meanwhile, upon learning this news, local armed police and public security had been dispatched to protect the site. Now, there was no need for Luo Feng’s cousin or Huang Tianba to watch over the site. The protection force came directly from the authorities.
Of course, the local armed police and public security were only the first wave of personnel. Subsequently, several hundred soldiers from nearby military districts would arrive, armed with submachine guns, guarding the area to prevent any criminals covetous intentions.
Near the tomb, Luo Feng, Su Meiji, Li Shishi, and the other wealthy second-generation heirs had set up a campsite. They did not plan to descend the mountain that day.
However, in the morning, Luo Feng was awakened by the chopping of helicopter propellers. The helicopter’s flight was an imposing sight, even scaring the proud and aggressive black bears into their caves, as they had never seen such a large eagle before.
The helicopter landed about a kilometer away on flat ground. The people who disembarked were representatives from major museums.
Another helicopter arrived. The passengers were billionaires and trillionaires.
Naturally, upon arriving, armed police would check their identities one by one. Those with unclear identities would be turned away or arrested immediately.
Luo Feng roughly counted the armed police and public security personnel scattered across the area. There were about a thousand of them, and it seemed that forces from many surrounding counties had been mobilized..
