It is located at the 100-foot cliff about 20km southwest of Linyou County, Shaanxi Province. The mountain was like a tall stone screen, hanging abruptly and magnificently. The cliff face is carved with shrines, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Heavenly King, Hercules and Arhat, and other figures, tall and magnificent. According to its styling style, clothes, decorations and records of Linyou County, it was carved in the early Tang Dynasty. It was basically the same as the stone cave of the Charity Temple. It was carved in the middle of the Tang Dynasty and Yonghui Dynasty. The stone steps and iron chains that used to climb the wooden stairs were now destroyed, so he could only take a detour and climb up from the back of the mountain. The top of the mountain is flat and round, shaped like a hat, commonly known as the Lama Hat Mountain.

At the foot of the Lama's Hat Mountain, a group of twenty-six guerrillas were moving slowly along the mountain path. But at this moment, a large group of people suddenly appeared in front of the mountain path, blocking their path. The one leading them was a golden-armored pike general. Where did these soldiers come from? What were they going to do? Why did they block the guerrilla hit team's path head-on?

"Hahaha!" Immediately, he could not help but laugh twice, and said: "Chief Commander Ye, please come out and answer."

"In that case, please allow me to discuss it with everyone." After Ye Wushuang finished speaking, he turned and walked into the crowd.

However, no one expected that just as Ye Wushuang and the heroes were discussing amongst themselves, a large group of people arrived behind them. The leader of the group was a general who was holding a blade as he shouted, "Is Chief Commander Ye here? Is Chief Commander Ye here? "

While he was shouting, the great blade had already arrived!

"Is Chief Commander Ye in? I have come under the order of my patriarch the King Shu, to invite him to bring his people into Shu as an official! "

"Humph!" Who do I think it is? " Liu Zhijun then shouted to the blade general: So it's Wang Jian, the Assistant Minister of Revenue under Wang Jian's command! "Do you have to tell me that he was the first to arrive?"

"How dare you, Liu Zhijun! Is my master also a traitor like you calling him by his name? "

"Hahaha …" Liu Zhijun could not help but let out a burst of ridicule, and said: "Zhang Ge! To think that you are even some assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, assistant minister of the Chinese script, and other similar matters under the command of the King Shu! Don't you even understand the simple principle of 'good subjects choosing their masters to serve'? Furthermore, right now, the Emperor Liang is on his own and is acting as a traitor to his subjects. How can the Lord of Unrighteousness serve him? "

"So, you chose an enlightened master? Don't think that just because you became the Chinese script's subordinate that you would think that you are safe. If you betray the Emperor Liang, how can he forgive you? "

"Generals, please stop arguing." Ye Wushuang walked out of the crowd and said: "Since the two generals have come from afar to sincerely invite us to attack the King Shu, I think that the best way is for us to attack from a distance and split into two sides, one for me and the other for General Liu, and the other for my cousin Ye Xueyun and General Zhang, to meet the King Shu, would that be okay?"

Hearing Ye Wushuang's words, Liu Zhijun and Zhang Ge could not help but look at each other for a moment, then smiled: "This method is very good! Both of them are the same! "

Just as they were talking about this, they suddenly heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance. Similarly, the leader of the cavalry rushed over to them. After a short while, the military officer reined in his horse and stopped in front of everyone.

"Who is Chief Commander Ye? I am here on behalf of King Jin to request for Chief Commander Ye to lead the troops there! "

"Eh? It's really strange today! " Gan Shan couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect our guerrilla hit squad to be so popular! I didn't join the guerrilla squadron for nothing! "It seems that I want to be able to get on the good side of the government!"

"Hey!" This show has really come to a fork in the road! " Zhang Ge could not help but say to the soldier: "Li Cunshen! You are the Vice Supervisor of the King Jin and have military affairs, why have you come to join in the liveliness? "

"Hehehe!" Li Cunshen couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, and said: "You and I are of the same class. "To put it nicely, they are recruiting for their guild. To put it bluntly, aren't you guys recruiting a large group of Rangers?"

"Li Cunshen! Don't talk nonsense! " Liu Zhijun could not help but become angry: "Is this how your master made you invite a famous sword hero?"

"General Liu, please calm your anger!" I'm telling the truth. Now that things have reached such a stage, what do you think we should do? "

"What should I do?" Liu Zhijun couldn't help but turn his eyes and say: "The three families need to invite a roaming army. It seems they need to be dealt with by force! In terms of winning or losing, the three of us will fight, the victor will be the king, and the loser will be the bandit! "

"Good!" "Let's fight!" Li Cunshen did not care, and wanted to retreat and use force. And it was at this moment that Ye Wushuang appeared and said: "Generals! Please listen to me! Why bother? "On behalf of the guerrillas, I thank all of you for your sincerity. If possible, I can send representatives to follow the three generals to see your master!"

"In that case, you have to split your troops into three groups!" Zhang Ge could not help but ask: "Chief Commander Ye, how do you plan to take the third route?"

"I can ask White Horse Temple's Protector 'Great Master Night Traveller' to lead the team!"

"Does this mean we can have this third party follow General Li?" Just as Liu Zhijun finished speaking, Li Cunshen shouted out, "No! King Jin has decreed that I must invite Chief Commander Ye over! "

"Hehehe!" Liu Zhijun let out a cold laugh, and said while gripping the long spear: "Looks like you and I really want to fight!"

"Get out of the way!" Li Cunshen bellowed, and asked everyone to move out of the way, and also held his spear, ready to fight a decisive battle with Liu Zhijun.

"Great!" "Alright!" Today, I shall have a good show to watch! " Gan went up the mountain and couldn't help but clap.

"What a fart!" Zhao Xiaxiang immediately stopped his: "You just want to see people fight, just who are you helping?"

"Sigh!" Isn't it the same no matter who it is? No matter who wins, don't we still have to go? "

"Ya — —" Liu Zhijun and Li Cunshen raised their spears as they started to fight! In just a single round, Ye Wushuang waved her hand, and instantly the guerrillas split into two, surrounding Liu Zhijun and Liu Zhijun respectively in the center, causing them to be unable to fight back.

"Generals!" Ye Wushuang stood in the middle of the crowd and spoke loudly: "Blades and spears have no eyes, if we fail, there will be casualties! Why fight over such a small matter? This was the end of today's matter. "We, the guerrillas, will either send all three of them or all of them. You three generals can do as you please!"

After hearing what Ye Wushuang said, Liu Zhijun, Li Cunshen and Zhang Ge couldn't help but look at each other. In the end, it was Zhang Ge who brought his horse out and said: "I think it's better if we don't. Wouldn't it be great if we were to follow Chief Commander Ye's instructions? "

At this time, Li Cunshen held onto his spear and looked at the group of guerrillas surrounding him. He guessed that the battle between him and Liu Zhijun would be difficult, so he steeled his heart and said: "Fine! We will do as the Chief Commander Ye says! There will be a long time until we meet again on the battlefield with General Liu! "

"Anytime!" Liu Zhijun also cupped his hands and stopped the battle. The decisive battle that was not over was finally stopped in time. Otherwise, Liu Zhijun and Li Cunshen, the two great generals, would definitely have one injured, or even die in a tragedy.

At the bottom of the Lama Hat Mountain, the heroes of the Society (Aloe) had finally turned their hostility into friendship and divided their troops into three paths, each stepping onto the road of return. He, the Huangling King Huang Ziling, the Northern Dragon King of Northern Tombs, the Wuling King Yu Manlou, the Du Ling King Du Yuesheng, the Tang Ling King Tang Li Zhong, and the Qin Ling King Qin Wu Yang were the first to go; Xuzhou "Elvis" Ye Xueyun and the Xuzhou Elder Shi Ye Jialin, the "Second Hero of Wind and Rain" Gan went up the mountain, Chi Shanghai, "Two Heroes" Zhao Xiaxiang, the "Jiazhou Little Three Heroes" Zhu Li Tzu, Ma Shou, Niu Ping Qiang, and the "black cat catcher" Peng "Jie" were all taken over to the second way; Later, these guerrillas from the three routes combined into one, and ran between Yuqi, Jin, and Shu, and did many things to eliminate violence, safety, and righteousness, deeply admired by many people. It was even more terrifying than the "Garrison Death Team" of the future generation! Of course, this was a story for the future, and it was not known for now.

Xuzhou! "An ancient historical and cultural city." Since the ancient times, the Pengcheng has been ranked as one of the Nine Prefectures.

《 Introduction to Xuzhou》 Area Code: 0516 Postal Code: 221003

Important industrial and mining cities and transportation hubs in northwest corner of Jiangsu Province, one of the famous cities in Chinese history and culture. In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was the Pengcheng of Song Kingdom, and in the end, it was the West Chu Capital. The three countries set up their Xuzhou and set up a city in 1945. There are 5 districts, 4 counties, 2 cities, with a population of 1.12 million. This city is located in Beijing, Shanghai and Longhai railway transportation, always a place for all. There was a Jia Wang coal mine nearby. Coal, electricity, engineering machinery, building materials and other industries are well-developed. Famous heroes include the Cloud Dragon Mountain, Cloud Dragon Lake and the The Battle of Huaihai Monument and so on. The map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of Xuzhou, the map of, the map of, the map of.

In ancient times, the Xuzhou was one of the nine prefectures of ancient China. The history of the Xuzhou could be traced back to more than five thousand years ago. As one could imagine, her name had already spread far and wide, and it hadn't declined in the slightest.

The Xuzhou is located at the junction of the four provinces, Qi Lu in the north of the city, Jiang Huai in the south, Huang Hai in the east, Zhongyuan in the west, Yellow River in the south, the Yellow River in the middle, the Yellow River through the city, the North and South Grand Canal running across the whole territory, Beijing, Shanghai and Long Hai two major railway lines meet here. At that time, at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu rebelled against his uncle Xiang Liang, and defeated the main forces of the Qin Army in the Great Deer War. After that, he was known as the overlord of the west Chu, and was named as the Pengcheng. In the Xuzhou, there was Xiang Yu's "stage" in the city. Later on, in the battle of Chuhan, this generation's hero lost, committed suicide, and ended up as the hero of this chaotic world. No one in the world could help but sigh at this magnificent hero! It was the time for the three nations to compete for power, and the legend of the "Three s" had been spread to this day. As for the two parties, they were fighting for the time when the world would fall into their hands. The decisive battle between them was being waged here — — "The Battle of Huaihai" was shocking the entire world! She was the leader of the "Three Great War" during the Liberation War. One could imagine, that since ancient times, the Xuzhou had already experienced countless of vicissitudes of life, who would not know her name? But it would take a long time to get to know her better.

The Xuzhou had a six hundred hectares Cloud Dragon Lake. The vast waves of smoke, the gulls and fish swimming in the wind all added limitless charm to the ancient city. The adjacent Yunlong Mountain, the nine sections of the mountain, meandered like a dragon, "The intersection of spring and summer, the sky between trees; autumn and winter, the moon and snow, a thousand miles long; between the storm and the light, a hundred changes." Hedgehog Pavilion, Drinking Crane Springs, Taishan, Zhaotan, East Slope Stone Bed, Dashi Buddha, Suk Road, Suk Road, etc. on the mountain are famous monuments and modern creations, which are actually places to enjoy sightseeing. The Xuzhou was also the hometown of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty. The Han Tomb, the Han Painting Stone and the Han Terracotta Warriors were also known as the "Three Unique Cultural Relics of the Han Dynasty". The 4,500 pieces of the Western Han Painting Terracotta Warriors and Horses that had been excavated were another important archaeological discovery after the Xi'an Qin terracotta Warriors. The tomb of Han Dynasty in the Northern Cave Mountain had an area of more than 500 square meters. It was a masterpiece of architectural art from 2000 years ago. In addition, there were also the first generation King Chu, Liu Kou and his accompanying tombs (Han Tomb of the Chu Wang Shan in the Copper River Village), the sixth generation King Chu, Liu Ling and his wife's combined tombs (Han Tomb of the Turtle Mountain), the third generation King Chu Liu Rong's grave (Tomb of the Lion Mountain King Chu), the eighth generation King Chu Liu Yanshou's grave (Tomb of the East Mountain King Chu of the Lower Dian Bridge), and the twelfth generation King Chu Liu Liao's grave (Tomb of the Jiuhe Fire Lying Niu Mountain King Chu). As for the other famous places, such as the stage for the Western Chu Overlord Xiang Yu, the singing stage for the Han Gao Ancestor Liu Bang, the yellow tower built by the Song Dynasty's Wen Hao Su Shi, Bai Juyi, Wen Tianxiang and other famous calligraphers such as Ouyang Xun, Su Shi, Mi Fu, Yue Fei, and many other famous calligraphers from the Tang Dynasty onwards, were all attracted by the beautiful and tragic story of history.

Let us take a look at the investigation of the theft of the Chu Wang Shan's Han Tomb in Jiahe Township, Tongshan County, Xuzhou!

Intro: On September 18, 2002, Liu Kun Yu, one of the main culprits of Chu Wang Shan's Han Tomb Robbery, was sentenced to death by the Xuzhou's Intermediate People's Court. At this point, the main people involved in the case of the Chinese tomb robbing in the Chu Wang Shan, which has been the focus of public attention, have all been brought to justice. In this case, a total of 19 persons were involved, with the exception of two who were sentenced to death, one who was suspended and one who did not have a date, the remaining sentences were more than 10 years.

According to another source from Interpol, one of the nine lanterns stolen from the Han Tomb of the Chu Wang Shan was sold to Canada via Hong Kong for a price of 5 million yuan. This was the biggest robbery against a tomb in the city since the founding of the country.

The Mausoleum of the Thousand Year King is mysterious and unfathomable

As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, they had served as offerings to the Imperial Court, used it as a social altar (ground altar), as a sacrifice to the land gods, and prayed that the country would be at peace. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Shi's "Sending Zhang Shi Hou's Poem" had a poem that read "The Broken Ridge does not cover the west, and sends the Monarch past the Chu Wang Shan".

According to local records, when the Ming Dynasty was still in Ming Dynasty, there were tens of wells in the south and dozens of tombs in the north. Because of the vicissitudes of history, the wells in the south of the mountain have long been untraceable, and there are few tombs left in the north of the mountain. As for the Han Tombs in the Chu Wang Shan, the earliest records were found in the "Water Meridian Notes" of the Northern Wei and Dao Yuan, and similar records were also found in the historical records and local records of later generations.

After a thousand years of history, there are four existing tombs in this group, each with a tall mound. From afar, the mound is shaped like a dome, with a flat square or rectangular top, and big and small ones. Around it are blocks of stones to prevent the rain from washing over the sealed soil. Of the four tombs, Tomb One was the largest.

As the Han Tomb Group of Chu Wang Shan was a large scale and was also said to be the mausoleum of Chu Yuan Wang, it had an important historical value. As a result, it was long announced as the first batch of important cultural relics protection units in the province by the Jiangsu Province. In 1986, the Han Tomb Group of Chu Wang Shan along with the rest of the tombs of King Chu was announced as the "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units" by the State Council.

Hand of Sin Into the Mausoleum of Kings

"If you want to be rich, dig an ancient tomb, and become a rich man in one night", some people who dreamed of becoming rich overnight extended their evil hands towards the ancient tomb. The historical value of the Chu Wang Shan Han Tomb Group has also attracted the greedy eyes of criminals.

On the afternoon of January 7, 1997, a shepherd was driving a flock of sheep to bury the sheep in Tomb One when a sheep stepped on a hidden hole and almost fell into the hole.

During the public security investigation, the crowd around reported that in the middle of December 1996, the villagers of Jiaokou village on the north side of the tomb were cut with a knife by the unidentified at around 10 pm. For a time, the villagers were all panic-stricken. Even after nightfall, they didn't dare to leave their houses. Around the 24th of December, a villager found new soil in the crevices of the slopes of the main peak of Chu Wang Shan. He found it strange but did not know where it came from. The villagers also said that during this period, there had been outsiders who had come to the east side of Tomb # 1 to borrow a fire to light a cigarette. During the day, they often saw outsiders driving to Chu Wang Shan to hunt rabbits. The investigators speculate that members of the tomb gang should be watching to see if the cave was discovered.

Grave robbers are specialized in excavation techniques, and their methods are very ingenious. The hole was located about 10 meters above the exposed section of the tomb, next to a tree, which was convenient for tying ropes. The cave was very small. There was a 20 cm deep two-story platform around the cave entrance. The wooden board was stuck on this platform. The wooden board was almost level with the ground. Each end of the board has an iron wire grip, which makes it easy to lift the cover. The cover board is covered with rocks during the day for camouflage, which makes it extremely difficult to be discovered. The soil within the cave was transported to the mountain slope of the main peak 200 meters south of the cave. The tomb robber used the method of breaking the soil into small pieces and poured the soil into the crevices between the rocks, even covering it with rocks to prevent it from being discovered.

Pirates' Cave is perpendicular to the north and south 1. 2 meters wide, east and west. 7 meters, about 12 meters deep, with footholes on both sides. The cave was excavated into a horizontal cave to the west at a depth of 12 meters. Five meters away, in the south wall, an ear chamber was discovered. The soil in the ear chamber was basically hollowed out by the tomb robber, and there were some abandoned porcelain and copper artifacts on the ground. It was possible that the tomb robber had found some more precious cultural relics in the earchamber, and the tomb robbers speculated that there should also be an ear chamber on the other side of the room, as well as some more precious burial objects. Therefore, in addition to continuing to extend westward along the southern wall of the tunnel, the horizontal cave excavated a north-south cave. The cave traverses the tomb road to the north wall as an ear chamber, which is about 7 meters long. This cave had caused great damage to the burial objects, and the cave was littered with broken pieces of artifacts. The north-south hole was about 10 meters long, with the western end as the end of the tunnel, revealing a well-preserved entrance sealed with cork. Due to the sudden discovery of the cave entrance, the tomb robber also future and open the main tomb chamber.

Since the tomb robbers had not expected to be discovered, all the tools had been left in the cave: a specially crafted iron shovel, pick, and drill; a long length of cloth was used to pull up and down the earth, and the rope was connected with the nylon rope. The nylon rope was knotted every 70 centimeters or so to make it easy to grasp; at the bottom of the rope was a snakeskin bag, and the mouth was wrapped with fine steel bars so that the mouth could be opened and the earth easily filled. The remaining items in the cave include: a torn towel blanket, flashlight, battery, gloves, instant noodles bag, water bottle, drink bottle and cigarette butts. Since the places of origin of tomb robbers are mostly Anhui, public security personnel speculate that tomb robbers are likely to be Anhui people.

In view of the fact that the current policy of cultural relics in our country is to "protect first, rescue first", in principle, the imperial mausoleum and the tombs of the princes are not allowed to be excavated. The Han Tomb Group of Chu Wang Shan is not only the tomb of the Marquis, but also a key cultural relics protection unit in the whole country. As a result, the Han Tomb Group of the Chu Wang Shan is very difficult to be approved for excavation. Because of this, it was decided to immediately seal up the cave and use stones and cement to completely seal off the cave. In order to ensure their safety, it was also decided to hire two part-time cultural relic administrators who would be responsible for guarding the cemetery and conducting daily visits to the tombs.

At this point, the grave robbery temporarily came to an end. But unexpectedly, half a year later, Tomb One was stolen again.

Another robbery in a stolen tomb

In the summer of 1997, Xuzhou City was hit by an extremely heavy rainstorm. On the morning of the 18th of July, after a heavy rain, a villager went to Chu Wang Shan to collect land. He discovered that a circular hole had appeared on the first tomb path. When the two arrived at the scene, they found a fertilizer bag inside the cave and confirmed it to be a stolen cave. This time, the Chu Wang Shan Han Tombs were robbed again.

According to the public's reports, in the first ten days of July, there were rumors that Tomb One had been stolen from the village. Before the murder, strangers were often seen moving around Chu Wang Shan, so it was possible that it had something to do with the theft of the tomb.

The cave was located in the west of the first cave. At 8 meters, the cave entrance was very small and round with a diameter of only 0.5%. 45 meters, with a snakeskin bag to seal the soil, upper cover and camouflage, extremely covert. Prior to this, the relevant personnel had visited the site several times to check, but did not find it. and the explosives. The excavation, also known as "Luoyang shovel", was invented for grave robbers in the pre-liberation Luoyang. It used a shovel head to remove the grave soil, and through analysis of the soil, one could understand the burial situation.) The tomb robber used the Luoyang to dig out the hole, and then filled the hole with explosives. After the explosives exploded, the soil would be squeezed out in all directions to form a spatial tunnel. This method not only saves time, but also does not need to move the soil of the cave out of the cave, and enhances the concealment.

With the experience of his first job, this time a professional directly enters the cave. Since the cave was very small, the people who went in couldn't use force directly, so they tied the rope around their waist and pulled the rope on the hole, putting them in or pulling them out. After entering the cave, it was found that the cave was directly connected with the first transverse cave, and the two excavations were carried out by the same group. At the bottom of the cave shaft, there were more than a dozen pipes of explosives left behind by tomb robbers. After following the cave westward to the opening, they found that the tunnel had been blown up to a width of about 1 m and a height of about 0.5%. 5 meters across the hole, the upper part of the hole is suspended in the air, supported by a broken sleeper. Due to the lack of light and the lack of time, the ceiling of the cave was not solid. It stood slanted, giving off the feeling that it would collapse at any moment. The hole is about 4 meters long (in fact, the length of the tunnel), and the main chamber of the Western Tomb. The main tomb chamber was tall and imposing, but because the location of the passage was too high, it was at least three to four meters away from the main tomb chamber, so it was very inconvenient for the staff to go down. In order to ensure safety, the engineers on the coal mine were first called in to resupport and reinforce the suspended stones, then a ladder was hung and a professional and a police officer descended together to the main tomb chamber. The main chamber was basically overturned, except in the southwest, where the soil was thicker. There was a thick layer of rotting wood dust in the cave, but no funerals were found.

After understanding the situation of the cave robber, the structure of the tomb and collecting the evidence of the crime left by the robber, the relevant authorities quickly sealed the cave and set rocks on the ground around the cave.

Tracing the culprit by a thousand miles

As one of the key cultural relics protection units in the country, the Chu Wang Shan Han Tomb Group was robbed twice in the span of half a year, which caused a lot of people's shock. The leaders concerned demanded that they should concentrate their efforts, solve the case quickly, apprehend the criminal and seize the stolen cultural relics. Tonshan County Public Security Bureau Criminal Police Squadron took charge of the investigation of the case. The task force worked day in and day out, and in the span of nearly three months, they had already figured out the circumstances of the case. They caught more than ten people, including the main suspect Wang Chunbao, Xu Guangshan, Li He Village, and reported the case to the People's Procuratorate of Xuzhou on April 12, 1999.

Actually, as early as after the first time the criminals stole the tombs, the relevant departments of our city, through the on-site investigation, had already speculated that the culprits were the culprits from the surrounding areas of Xuzhou, such as Anhui, Henan and other places. However, because these tomb robbers often come and go without a trace, and rarely have fixed residences, although the investigators have been tracking the investigation for a long time, there is still no breakthrough progress in the investigation of the case.

Finally, an anonymous phone call broke the mystery of the case. The caller was a middle-aged man with a foreign accent. He clearly told the caseworker that someone stole a lot of cultural relics from the Chu Wang Shan's Han Tomb, and one of the nine lanterns was a priceless treasure. The tomb robbers were Wang Chunbao from Hou Ma in Shanxi, Xu Guangshan from Henan Xu Chang, Li He Zhuang from Henan Shang Shui. These people usually stayed at random, but when Wang Chunbao's brother got married two months later, these people would all go to the Hou Ma to attend the wedding.

This phone call provided an important clue to the investigation work. According to the analysis of the case personnel, the person who made the call was probably one of the robbers. Therefore, the staff of the case, night and day, rushed to Houma, Shanxi, and contacted the local public security authorities. The local security organs said that it was usually very difficult to find Wang Chunbao, and coincidentally, Hou Ma's security organs were currently pursuing him because of a small case. Wang Chunbao, on the other hand, was preparing to turn himself in to the security authorities to seek leniency. In order to wait around, Hou Ma official cooperates with our city case handling staff to block the news. On August 11, 1997, at the scene where Wang Chunbao turned himself in, the person who handled the case suddenly appeared and arrested him. During the interrogation, Wang Chunbao confessed to his crimes while explaining the whereabouts of the other members of the gang.

According to Wang Chunbao, the investigators each apprehended Xu Guangshan in Xu Chang on August 14, Zhang Zu Min and Zhou Fantian in Xiao County on August 16, and Li He Zhuang and Wang Jian Guo in Tai Kang on August 18. However, Liu Kun Yu, one of the main culprits, had not been caught. After the interrogation, the case of the theft of the Chu Wang Shan's Han Tomb Group was basically cleared up.

According to the criminal, as early as 1995 and 1996, the culprits, Liu Kun Yu and Xu Guangshan, had learned from Chen Mingxiang, who lived in the Shen Zhuang mine in Xiao County, that the Xuzhou had Han tombs. Then, they found Wang Chunbao, who had a rich experience in tombstone robbing, to act as a "technician", visiting the Chu Wang Shan to inspect the structure of the tomb. In October 1996, Wang Chunbao, Liu Kun Yu and a few others gathered six people to Zheng Zhou to discuss with Li He Zhuang's family, and made a detailed plan to steal the tomb. At the end of 1996, Liu Kun Yu, Li He Zhuang and Geng Shuanghe each contributed 10,000 yuan, and Chen Mingxiang, who was familiar with the situation, arranged for food and lodging. A total of 19 people were gathered from Henan, Shanxi and Anhui. The group gathered at the Shenzhuang Mine in Xiaochang County. They bought shovels, pickaxes, woven bags, torches and other tools for the crime and began to rob tombs day and night. Using his years of experience as a tomb robber, Wang Chunbao accurately dropped down from the top of the mountain into the cave. They left every night at eight or nine o'clock in the motorized tricycle arranged by Chen Mingxiang, until they returned at four or five in the morning. Seven or eight days later, they dug into the eardrum and took out a bowl, a jar and more than 20 copper pieces, including the priceless nine lamps. The next day, Liu Yuanyu rented a taxi and arrived at Tong City, Anhui Province. He found an artifact dealer and sold the Nine Branch Lantern for 250 thousand. When they returned, they told their partners that they had sold them for only 180 thousand yuan each for 8,000 yuan, arousing suspicion and dissatisfaction. After working for a few more days, this group of people discovered that someone had moved the cave entrance, so they didn't dare to dig anymore and decided to temporarily "withdraw" the group.

After the first time they stole a tomb, Wang Chunbao and Li He Zhuang felt that this tomb was very profitable, so they decided to wait until after the limelight had passed. However, due to the uneven distribution of the loot, each of them had their own ulterior motives, wanting to shake the other off and do it alone. At the beginning of 1997, Chen called Li Hezhong and Xu Guangshan to inform them that the time had come to do it again. When Li He Zhuang and Xu Guansan gathered nine more people to Xiao County to steal again, they found out that Wang Chunbao had also come to Xiao County with a Beijing cultural relics dealer who was willing to contribute money. Both sides thought that with too many people, it would be hard to split the loot. Furthermore, someone was looking at the graves in the vicinity of Chu Wang Shan, so their actions were too dangerous, so neither side succeeded.

When June 1997 arrived, Xu Guangshan found the King's official and his gang of landlords, and came to Chu Wang Shan once again. This time, they used the method of digging a hole into the tomb, using the Luoyang to dig a hole out of the tomb, using explosives to blast out of the cave and entering. Since there were two holes in the roof of the tomb, they speculated that it had been stolen twice in ancient times. They only picked up more than 200 pieces of jade in the tomb.

As they did not manage to fish up much oil, the King's officials of Shandong were not satisfied. After Wang Chunbao, Li He Zhuang and the rest were arrested, in February 1998, they went to Xuzhou's territory twice to check out the terrain. After raising 4,800 yuan, they prepared 40 kilograms of explosives, detonators, detonators, hunting rifles and other tools and went to the Xuzhou to steal another tomb. On 4 March 1998, they were picked up by the police on duty when they were packed in two taxis, carrying tools and passing through the South Hill Pass on Third Ring Road.

After the investigation by the Public Security and Public Prosecutor's Office, the Intermediate People's Court of Xuzhou sentenced Wang Chunbao to death, Xu Guangshan to death, Li He Zhuang had no date of imprisonment, King's official and other officials who had been imprisoned for more than ten years. This is the first time our city has been sentenced to death for tomb robbing since the founding of the country. At the same time, it is also the heaviest punishment and the largest number of people. At that time, Liu Qianyu, who had escaped the net, changed his surname. When he was in Henan, he was arrested by the public security authorities after being reported by the masses. On 18 September this year, the court sentenced him to a suspended death sentence.
