[The Lost National Treasure]

[Episode 11]

[Mingde Museum]

Mr. Hong.

What brings you here?

Aren't you usually

not interested in these exhibitions?

Look.

I received the invitation letter.

I'm here to show my support.

They must have sent you one too.

I don't have as much clout as you.

I paid my own way to join the event.

What's the point of spending money on this?

I heard Zhao Youlin has collected quite a few good pieces.

I want to broaden my horizons too.

Look at this place.

He's really a big shot, isn't he?

How should I put it?

This is what happens

when fortunes change over time.

Twenty years ago when I first met him,

he was just a construction contractor.

Haven't I told you this before?

This is what they call

hitting the jackpot.

Back then, he was at the construction site

with one shovel...

Let's not talk about this here.

In short,

when luck comes your way,

money chases after you, right?

But come to think of it,

in terms of intelligence,

if he were in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods,

he'd compete with Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

The diplomats,

trying to form Vertical and Horizontal Alliances.

There's no connection he can't make.

Let me tell you,

this guy's dark history

is quite interesting.

Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong.

-Another day... -Even I...

Another day,

I'll bring some good wine,

and we'll chat leisurely at your shop.

Sounds good.

Alright, alright.

Take your time looking around.

Yes, yes, yes.

Qin.

Look.

How's this tri-colored three-flowered horse?

I recognize this horse.

When you first came to my place,

you brought a photo of this horse.

Yes, yes, yes.

I said you had a sharp eye, didn't I?

As everyone can see,

it's a genuine three-flowered horse.

A crest on its forehead,

a green blanket on its saddle,

exquisite pendants,

and two wide-open eyes.

It's very lifelike.

Everyone, look.

It's because you mentioned it

that I remembered.

I spent a lot of money to

buy this piece at an auction in England.

It wasn't easy.

Youlin.

If this is

the star of today's exhibition,

I don't think you've made much progress in the past two years.

Do you have any really good pieces

to broaden my horizons?

I wouldn't dare say they'll broaden your horizons,

but you can really give me some guidance.

Yes, there are.

Here.

Tri-colored Heavenly King figurine.

It's really a good piece.

I don't know about it.

Look.

It wears gold armor,

with a phoenix-wing-shaped helmet with an upturned brim on the head,

in a commanding pose.

This should be used to

guard the tomb of some important figure from the Tang Dynasty.

It's for warding off evil.

Good eye.

It's really good.

I also

spent a lot of money

to buy it from Hong Kong.

Treasures like this

shouldn't flow into the overseas market.

Yes, yes, yes.

Bringing these back

is mainly to let future generations know

what the burial culture of the Tang Dynasty was like.

Exactly.

There are more good things.

The best is yet to come, everyone.

Please step over here to see this.

How about this bronze mirror?

T-This is in good condition.

It's from the Tang Dynasty, right?

Yes.

Youlin.

Speaking of the Han and Tang dynasties,

our Qinzhou is second to none.

Of course.

But when it comes to the Song Dynasty,

we can't compare to Shangyi.

You're the Director of the Mingde Museum.

When will you boost our spirits in terms of the Song and Yuan pieces?

During the Song Dynasty,

there was the Longquan Kiln in the south

and Yaozhou ceramics in the north.

When will you hold a Yaozhou ceramics exhibition?

Then I'd love to stay here for that.

Alright.

Qin.

I'll keep this in mind.

Good.

Qin, look over here.

Okay, okay, okay.

This is a great beauty from the Tang Dynasty.

Right, right, right.

A plump woman.

Look how beautiful she is.

Right, right, right.

In the Tang Dynasty, plumpness was considered beautiful.

Right.

A full figure.

Youlin, you've really put in effort.

What?

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Looking for work.

Looking for work?

You just got out, right?

What?

What do you mean?

You're still pretending with me?

I recognized that big mole of yours

at a glance.

I was in the sixth ward.

Just got out last year.

What did you go to jail for?

Fight, what about you?

Same as you.

With your dumb look, you had a fight with others?

What on earth do you want?

Looking for a job that makes money fast.

Well,

I'm about to get off work.

I'll take you to find a job.

Okay.

Shan, are you grilling the meat or yourself?

The charcoal isn't working well.

We're here.

Grilling meat, Hu?

You're back.

Wait a moment.

Okay.

Use less salt.

I'll go tell him.

Hu.

Aren't we short-handed?

I found us a new guy.

Come here, come here, come here.

Sit down.

Hu.

Hello, Hu, hello.

Come on, buddy.

Alright.

Eat some grilled meat.

Okay.

What's up?

Have you been inside?

Come on, buddy.

Hu.

For what reason?

What else could it be?

Fight, of course.

With his dumb look, he had a fight with others.

It's good.

You're trying to fool me?

-Fight? -Hu!

Come here!

Hu, Hu!

-I'll skin you alive! -Hu! Hu!

Come here! Stop!

-Come here! -Hu!

Hu, Hu, I wouldn't dare!

What's going on?

The person you found for me is so good!

Come on, Shan, come here!

Hu, if you think he's not good enough,

I'll find you a new one right away!

Come here!

What's wrong?

Shan, come here.

Come here.

Does this guy look familiar?

Big Mole!

It's him!

He and Yan Xiaowu stole our pit!

I'd recognize Big Mole even if he turned to ashes!

I've been having bad luck year after year!

You and Yan Xiaowu

stole my good fortune!

Hu, Hu, calm down.

Calm down.

-Come on. -I…

I'll do everything you say to make it up to you, okay?

I don't need it.

Hu.

Beating you to death might turn my luck around!

Hu, Hu, Hu!

I know about a grand tomb! I know about a grand tomb!

You're still trying to trick me here?

If there's a grand tomb, why don't you go yourself?

You think I'm an idiot?

That grand tomb belongs to my ancestors.

I don't dare to.

Your ancestors?

-Hu. -Hu.

I don't think he's lying.

Why don't we hear him out?

That grand tomb is

in Lvjia Village, Mi County.

It belongs to my maternal grandfather's family.

His ancestors were all very capable.

They were all high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty.

The highest position was Prime Minister.

There must be valuable things in that grand tomb.

Jianhui.

Guang.

The artifacts we dug up last time in Fengjiapo

have been sold.

Here's the money.

Alright.

Jianhui.

Zhao Youlin

is not very generous with the payment.

Do we really need to offend King Hua for his sake?

King Hua is a thief after all.

He's hidden in the shadows.

Zhao Youlin is different.

I went to his collection exhibition today.

The Heavenly King figurine and the bronze mirror we sold

were just lying there in plain sight.

He's got some nerve.

Isn't he afraid the police will come knocking?

He's got all the paperwork in order.

Even if they investigate, they won't find any issues.

In our hands, these items are stolen goods,

but in his possession, they become legitimately inherited collections.

He's become a great benefactor

bringing overseas cultural relics back home.

You think it's unfair, right?

That's just how the world works.

Whoever has money and connections

gets to make the rules.

I don't really think it's unfair.

After all, snakes

and rats have different paths to walk.

We just focus on making our own money, that's all.

There's an end to a rat's path.

When people ask what you do,

are you comfortable saying you're a tomb raider?

We're the ones who dug up those items.

We're the ones who brought those relics to light.

We get a bad reputation,

while they get all the credit.

Why?

It's because

we don't have connections.

Zhao Youlin is a big tree.

We need to find a way

to enjoy its shade.

But he won't deal with us directly.

How can we get close to him?

We cater to his interests.

During this period,

keep an eye out for Song Dynasty ceramics.

Jianhui.

I hope we're not going to warm up

to someone who's snubbing us again.

As long as our offering is substantial enough,

the path we'll walk in the future won't be a rat's path anymore.

What characters are they?

Ink Affinity.

[Mi County]

That peach orchard up ahead is the place.

What kind of place is this?

Is this the grand tomb you mentioned?

This is where my Lv family buried people for generations.

It's been too long.

The grave mounds have long since disappeared.

But the grand tomb

is right here in this peach orchard.

Are you sure?

What kind of place is this?

You idiot.

It's such a huge orchard.

You want me to dig up this entire place?

I'm giving you a chance.

If you dare to fool me,

I'll bury you here today

to keep your grandfather company.

You...

You... You think carefully again.

Where exactly

is the tomb of the wealthy family you mentioned?

I really don't know.

I can't even remember

where my grandfather is buried now.

What are you guys doing here?

He...

It's nothing, it's nothing.

Uncle.

We're here...

Visiting relatives.

Grab a smoke.

Who are your relatives?

Why do you all look so unfamiliar?

Well, you see,

Lv Fugui is my cousin.

I heard my uncle was sick,

so I came to see him today.

Yes, yes, that's right.

Your uncle is dead.

What?

When did this happen?

It happened the day before yesterday.

You're his nephew, and you didn't know?

[Lvjia Village]

[It's everyone's responsibility to crack down on tomb robbery]

Cousin.

[Protect the cultural relics]

My uncle...

Taiping.

Taiping has returned.

Fugui, you can go back now.

Dongsheng and I will finish pasting the rest.

It's alright.

Let me finish pasting.

This is my father's wish.

Uncle!

Uncle!

How could you just leave without waiting for me?

I haven't even had the chance to do something nice for you.

If you truly had meant so,

would you have gone tomb robbing?

Your uncle spent his whole life teaching in the village.

Who wouldn't remember him fondly?

He taught so many children

and raised so many descendants.

And out of all that rice, you turned out to be the weed!

I was wrong!

I've brought shame upon myself!

I deserve this! I truly deserve this!

Now, in front of my uncle,

I promise that I'll turn over a new leaf this time.

I'll live an honest life!

Just set it up there.

Thank you all for your hard work.

Alright, alright.

Go back and bring it.

Take it easy.

Okay.

Here, have some wine.

It's fine, it's fine.

Put it here.

Here, put it here.

Let's go.

Time to work.

Get to work, let's go.

It's right here.

Come on.

Cousin.

Let's get to work.

I haven't been here for years.

I can't remember at all

where my maternal grandfather was buried.

Fifty meters ahead,

that's your grandfather's tomb.

I heard from my uncle

that our Lv family ancestors

also came from a prominent family.

During the Song Dynasty, there were the Four Virtuous Lv Brothers,

who were very famous.

My grandfather must have been buried next to those four virtuous men, right?

How could we be qualified

to be buried next to them?

Our ancestors

were distant relatives of the Four Virtuous Lv Brothers.

They were caretakers of their family tombs.

What?

Our ancestors were gravekeepers?

Not just our ancestors,

our family has been tending their tombs for generations.

Up until the liberation.

Cousin.

Where were these four brothers buried?

Why do you ask?

I was thinking,

when I have time, I'd like to pay my respects to them.

To absorb some of their righteousness.

The Lv Family Tomb

had dozens of households

of their descendants buried there.

If you're asking me which tomb belongs to those four brothers,

I really can't remember.

When I was young, I heard my grandfather say

that the Lv family temple is on the southwest side of the peach orchard.

If you walk east from the family temple,

there's the Spirit Way.

At the end of the Spirit Way

is the Lv Family Tomb.

Cousin, well, look,

we have a lot to do at home.

You go back and take care of things.

I'll stay here and keep watch.

Just let me do something nice for my uncle.

I promise I won't let even a single bug fly in.

Alright then.

It gets cold at night.

I'll go get you some clothes.

No need.

You go back.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Who is it?

Taiping.

What are you doing here?

I'm guarding the tomb for my cousin.

The tomb hasn't been dug yet.

It's the middle of the night.

You scared us, I'm telling you.

It's cold. Take care of yourself out here.

Take care.

We're leaving. Let's go.

Hello, Hu.

The cultural relic conservators just left.

They won't come back tonight.

You guys come quickly.

It's right here.

My cousin said this is the location of the family temple.

Along that path,

turn and go to the end.

That's where the Lv family's grand tomb is.

I asked you to find out the specific location of the grand tomb,

not the Spirit Way of the family temple.

I know.

I didn't dare to ask too many details.

I was afraid my cousin would get suspicious.

Follow the path that he mentioned

and explore further.

Okay.

Hurry, hurry.

Still can't catch my eye.

Jianhui,

lately,

everyone's been scrambling for Song Dynasty ceramics.

I'd say I acted quickly.

Those kiln sites' storage pits are all too mediocre.

Zhao Youlin has high standards.

Ordinary artifacts won't catch his eye.

Catch his eye?

We're making money with our skills.

Why should we get close to him?

You can't fill a stomach with crumbs.

Guang, Zhao Youlin's hands

are even dirtier than ours,

yet why can he stand proudly in the spotlight

while we can only be tomb raiders?

In the future, you'll get married and have children.

We can live in the shadows our whole lives,

but our wives and children can't.

Alright, I understand.

I'll keep collecting them.

Hu.

Take a look here.

It's variegated earth.

Big Mole.

We'll make our move tonight.

Don't let me down.

Shan.

Mark this spot.

What's wrong with you?

Oh my god!

Why are you here?

Why can't I come?

I came for your uncle.

Why do you look so scared?

What have you done wrong?

Where did you get this phone?

Give me the phone.

Where did you really get this phone? Tell me the truth!

My boss gave it to me.

Your old problem is back again?

What old problem?

Which woman bought you this phone?

There's no woman involved.

Give it to me.

Let me see who you've been contacting.

What are you two arguing about?

It's nothing.

Brother, it's nothing.

You'd better be honest with me! I'm telling you.

Stop arguing anymore.

It's fine, it's fine.

I'll head out first.

Taiping.

I think you're in very poor health.

Tonight,

let your cousin take over the tomb-watching duty.

You don't need to go.

I can do it.

I can do it.

Lie down quickly.

Get some rest.

Cousin, I can do it!

Mrs. Zan.

There are three sites with river pebble paving.

This one

was discovered 30 years ago

near the Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Bo.

Mr. Zan engaged in the excavation at that time.

Take a look.

And this one

was found by us

in the foundation for the pump well house.

This one was discovered in the looting pit

of the black pottery figurines.

However, it can't be located now.

How far is the foundation

from where the black pottery figurines were unearthed?

Not far,

about 50 meters in a straight line.

After you asked about the notes last time,

I talked to a few old friends.

They

haven't seen this kind of stone paving before,

but it can be inferred that

it's some kind of architectural remains.

If it's a human burial,

could it

be related to Empress Dowager Bo?

Some scholars suggested back then

that this might be the tomb of Empress Dowager Bo's granddaughter,

Princess Guantao.

As for whose tomb it is,

we can't jump to conclusions now.

I suggest,

we continue to focus on the black pottery figurines

and conduct a more detailed field survey

around the Yin Village area

to see if we can find more direct evidence.

Don't worry, Mrs. Zan.

I'll report this matter

to the institute.

Are you two

not joining us?

My vacation is almost over,

and I'm planning to return to the provincial institute.

I need to go back to Yusai.

Look at you two.

You two are not allowed to leave today.

Have a meal with me.

I've learned to cook a few dishes.

You can be my guinea pigs.

Alright.

You're leaving so soon?

What's going on between you two?

There's nothing between us.

Come on,

you think I don't know anything?

You came to Qinchuan for him, didn't you?

Mrs. Zan,

once bitten, twice shy.

Do you really have no thoughts at all?

The wise don't fall in love.

There's no possibility.

She turned you down?

I didn't even mention it.

You...

You fool.

I thought you were a wolf.

Turns out you're just a weak sheep.

I've thought it through.

I'm in Yusai,

and she's at the provincial institute.

We're separated by thousands of miles.

It's not going to work,

right?

It's too unfair for her.

Also,

I don't know what she's really thinking

and whether she would accept this.

Are you a fool?

Back then, Luo Qing

came to Qinchuan just for you.

Hu.

The moon is so beautiful tonight.

It's bright enough to split a mountain.

Be careful.

Okay.

Alright, Hu.

Come on, get ready.

Uncle!

Uncle!

You bringer of bad luck, what's wrong now?

My uncle must know I'm here to dig up the tomb.

He's telling me to stop.

Uncle!

The sound of firecrackers is a good thing. It'll cover for us.

Set them off when you're ready.

Okay.

You'll just remain a poor devil.

This pit is so beautiful.

Hu.

Who are you kowtowing to?

You're really a fool.

It's your family's stuff you're taking.

What's wrong with making a living that way?

It's only natural.

Now I see you...

Go, go, go.

Go over there and keep watch for me.

Keep a lookout for me.

Let's go.

It's done.

Okay.

Alright, alright. I'll give it a try.

Alright.

Give me a push.

How is it?

I'll do it.

A posture of saluting.

We've struck it rich.

Pull.

Slowly.

Ancient Chinese...

Ceramics...

Image Collection.

Feng Xian...

Feng Xian what?

Sheng.

Are you dozing off?

Nonsense.

I'm reading.

Come on, I heard you snoring.

I was just deep in thought.

When did you get here?

I-I just arrived.

What are you doing here?

Can't I come to see you without a reason?

Why are you here if there's nothing?

I brought you a treasure.

Here, take a look.

How is it?

Isn't it beautiful?

Where did you get it?

I've been lucky lately.

I dug up a grand Song Dynasty tomb

and got quite a few Song Dynasty ceramics.

Go, go, go. Take it away.

Song Dynasty ceramics?

Wasn't the last time embarrassing enough?

Sheng, this is absolutely genuine.

It's from the Lv Family Tomb.

You know?

The brothers in that family were all amazing.

One of them was called Lv Dalin.

I dug up his family's tomb.

Look at you, acting all knowledgeable.

How could I not know Lv Dalin?

Look.

He wrote the Illustrated Study of Antiquity.

When have you ever heard

that his family's tomb was robbed?

Always talking about Song Dynasty ceramics.

Let me ask you,

do you know why Song Dynasty ceramics are so valuable?

No, I don't.

Your lack of knowledge is your downfall.

Come on, I'll educate you a bit today.

Move aside.

Don't press on my books.

I'll arrange them properly for you.

Show some respect for books, will you?

Right.

Let me tell you something.

During the Song Dynasty,

it was popular to burn paper offerings.

The burial items were all made of paper.

Things like joss paper,

paper horses, and paper clothes.

Even the emperor led the way in burning paper offerings.

Even if there had been real items in tombs,

do you think the ancestors from the Song and Yuan dynasties

would have sat around doing nothing?

Would they have left those valuable things behind?

What are you thinking, young man?

Sheng,

I dug up the tomb myself.

It's definitely a Song Dynasty ceramic.

It can't be fake.

Remember that tomb in Shangyi last time?

Wasn't that also dug by you personally?

Yet you still got tricked, didn't you?

Well, Sheng, let me tell you.

This time is really different.

I scouted the location myself.

I blasted the pit myself.

I went down into the pit myself.

There's no way it could be fake.

I still have several dozen pieces

of porcelain and bronze.

What period is the bronze from?

The bronze is...

From the Zhou Dynasty.

Then, could Zhou Dynasty items

that ended up in a Song tomb be real?

Are you a fool?

That's impossible.

Go away and get rid of this stuff quickly.

J-J-Just forget it.

Well.

I'll pick out a couple of books for you to read.

People need to learn, you know?

About the Tang Dynasty.

Here, just these three books.

Take them home and study well.

You can't get by without common knowledge.

Right, Sheng. You study hard then.

I'm heading back.

Don't just eat all day.

We should improve together.

[Collectibles Town, South Market]

Come on, sir!

Come in and have a seat, sir!

Li Quan.

Did you see that person?

He's carrying a bag.

Go check where he's going

and whether he's going to make a deal.

Alright.

Anyone here?

Feel free to look around.

I'm not here to buy something.

Have a seat.

What is it?

See what I've got here.

What do you think after you've been looking at it for so long?

Are you going to say something or not?

Mr. Hong, why is the door closed?

Are you busy?

What's up?

I've run out of ink pads at my shop.

Can I borrow a red ink pad from you?

Sure.

Is all Mr. Mu's money

tucked away on his body?

He's made so much money, yet too stingy to buy an ink pad.

It's not for free.

200.

Why are you talking about money?

I'll bring it back when I'm done.

I'm leaving. You can get back to work.

Just go.

The door...

No need, no need, no need.

I'm leaving.

Tanghulu!

Fresh tanghulu!

Bro, you acted quickly.

No sincerity, no deal.

50,000.

50,000? That's too low.

It's a Song Dynasty ceramic.

Jianhui.

Jianhui.

You didn't misjudge. He's making a deal.

On what item?

A vase.

From what I heard, it's a Song Dynasty ceramic.

How much did Mr. Hong offer?

50,000.

50,000.

That means it's worth at least 100 thousand.

What does that piece look like?

The mouth of the vase is very small and short,

like a blooming flower.

The body is about this big,

20 cm tall.

The glaze is celadon.

Sounds like a Yaozhou ceramic.

Yaozhou ceramics are mostly plates and bowls.

Vases are quite rare.

Seems Xing Zhaohu

has found something valuable.

Guang.

Jianhui.

I need to ask you something.

Do you know what Xing Zhaohu has been up to lately?

I don't know.

I don't have much contact with him.

Aren't you close with Shan?

I only know that Shan has been following Xing Zhaohu.

They haven't dug up something valuable these years.

They're not well off.

If it weren't for Xing Zhaohu,

who has some kind of

scrap steel business,

they would've led...

Where is his place?

Take me there.

One porcelain vase is worth 50,000.

Could these be worth a million?

It's hard to say.

This vase is surely valuable.

But we might have some inferior ones here.

The quality varies.

I can't be sure how much they're worth.

Let's be patient.

We should ask a few more places.

Alright.

You're right.

Good things come to those who wait.

Hu, my brother.

Isn't this Mr. Mu from Nameless Pavilion?

Is my memory failing me

or you?

Since when did we become brothers?

As I recall, we're sworn enemies.

Old foes.

We have a blood feud.

Hu.

We're all in business.

There's no such thing as a lasting grudge.

I'll get straight to the point.

I heard Hu has dug up something valuable.

You're like a dog,

with a keen nose, aren't you?

Since I've caught the scent,

why don't you let me have a look?

I find you quite interesting.

You want to see them,

and I shall show you?

Hu,

let's put our past grievances behind us.

We both aim to make a fortune.

Money is the priority,

and we're all its slaves.

I came here with sincerity.

You can pay me no respect,

but if you don't respect money,

that's not right.

Cultured man.

It's fine. Open it.

Slowly, be careful.

Since you've seen them,

show me your sincerity.

Five million.

I'll take them all.

You think I'm like you,

blinded by money?

Ill-gotten gains are cursed.

You even stole from your own family's pit.

You've really got the nerve.

Watch your mouth.

What, Gunner?

You fence-sitter.

Don't get cocky.

The tables will turn.

I'm lucky now.

As for you two,

black-hearted thieves.

Not for long,

you're bound to fall.

Five million.

Even if it's 50 million,

I still won't sell them to you.

Get lost.

Bye.

Hu, don't take offense.

As I said before,

we risk our lives every day.

When it comes down to it,

it's all for money.

We should stay focused on making money, right?

Guang.

This is 50,000.

I came here with sincerity.

Give me 10 days.

I'll gather five million.

If during these days,

you find someone offering a higher price than me,

you can sell them as you want.

How does that sound?
