Chapter 1141: Death Penalty!
Wang Yuquan took a deep breath and gritted his teeth and said: "Is what you said true?! As long as I explain everything clearly, I will not be sentenced to death and my sentence can be reduced, right?"
"In theory, there is no problem, but the premise of all this is that you tell me everything one by one, without missing a word, and tell it in detail. Only by catching those guys can you make up for your crime and reduce more of your sentence." Qin Feng nodded.
Wang Yuquan pursed his lips, his face pale, and mustered up his courage, "This is what happened. Half a month ago, my girlfriend broke up with me because I had no money to buy a house... A man who claimed to be surnamed Tian came to me and asked me to help steal a cultural relic from the imperial tomb... After the task was completed, he was willing to give me a reward of 40 million, and I agreed on impulse at the time."
"40 million?" Qin Feng was shocked. This is not a small amount. Ordinary cultural relics, even those from the Tang Dynasty, could never be sold at this price. "What cultural relic did he ask you to steal? Why is it so valuable?"
"It's... it's the imperial seal!" Wang Yuquan paused, his voice so hoarse that Pei Yian and others almost thought they heard an illusion.
"Imperial seal? Are you talking about the imperial seal engraved with the eight words "Received the mandate from heaven, longevity and prosperity" written by Prime Minister Li Si?" Song Rong opened her mouth in surprise, and she almost couldn't speak!
Pei Yian also looked at Wang Yuquan with a face full of shock, obviously he didn't expect that the other party would find this cultural relic.
"That's right! It's the imperial seal!" Wang Yuquan nodded.
It is rumored in history that Qin defeated Zhao and unified the world after obtaining the Heshi Bi!
And the emperor of the Qin Dynasty at that time, Ying Zheng, ordered Prime Minister Li Si to carve this imperial seal in seal script!
This imperial seal has eight seal characters engraved on the front, "Received the Mandate from Heaven and Lived Long and Prospered", as a token of the emperor at that time. After the Qin Dynasty, the emperors of each dynasty regarded this imperial seal as the mandate of heaven.
The emperors of all dynasties felt that only by obtaining this imperial seal could they truly receive the mandate of heaven! If this imperial seal is lost, it means that the fate of the entire dynasty will end! After that, anyone who ascends the throne without this seal will be ridiculed and despised by the world.
It is precisely because of this that this imperial seal is regarded by everyone as one of the ten most precious treasures in the history of China.
It's just that according to legend, the Imperial Seal was lost during the Tang Dynasty, and all subsequent Imperial Seals were fakes, so everyone thought that this thing probably no longer existed.
Even Pei Yian and Song Rong thought so.
That's why Song Rong and Pei Yian were so surprised.
"Doesn't the history book say that the Imperial Seal was lost during the Tang Dynasty? How could it be used as a burial object and placed in this emperor's tomb? The other party spent so much money to let you come here, is it just to find such an illusory thing?" Pei Yian frowned slightly.
"I thought so too, but that's what the other party told me... Whether there is such a thing as the Imperial Seal, can't we find out by pushing it open?" Wang Yuquan set his eyes on the tomb coffin next to it, which had all the nails pulled out.
He was really curious whether this legendary treasure really existed!
