Chapter 792 Conjecture After Deciphering

Qin Fei didn't understand the obscene words on the statue at that time.

But after hearing what Zhong Ming said, he felt relieved, it wasn't that he didn't learn enough.

It can only be said that the ancients did too much in front of them. If they have something that they don't want people to know, if the future generations want to figure it out, I'm afraid it will really take a lot of trouble.

The inscriptions on the four statues are actually commemorative inscriptions, but they cannot be viewed individually. The commemorative inscriptions on each statue are incorrect, either with a missing stroke or an extra stroke.

In order to see these contents clearly, all the inscriptions on the four statues must be rubbed and then overlapped.

For each stroke, those that overlap twice must be ignored, and those that overlap more than three times, or even four times, must be reconstituted into a new day character.

Based on this, Zhong Ming deciphered a memorial text.

The general content is: Menghe, the king of Changqiang, with great achievements, is the god bestowed by heaven to the Qiang people. He is tall, heroic, and can kill mountain tigers and beasts with his sword; it is he who led the Qiang people through the most difficult years. Let the Changqiang people walk into the ranks of the tribes of the ancient Dian kings.

But there is no holiday, and Meng He passed away at the age of 47. This made the Changqiang people very painful, but they will follow the will of Changqiang King Menghe and move forward bravely.

This is a sacrificial oration, although the content is not very much, but the high-sounding words can show the respect that the Qiang people had for Meng He at that time.

"Qin Fei, you are right to see it this way, but there is another text with a different meaning, you can read it later."

Zhong Ming said and also smoked a cigarette: "Let's discuss now what Menghe, the king of Qiang, represents."

"During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Meng Huo in Nanzhong barbarian king, you know that?"

Qin Fei nodded, that's for sure, you don't need to read the history, the descriptions in the novel are enough.

At the same time, he also guessed Zhong Ming's intention.

"Do you feel there is any connection between Meng He and Meng Huo?"

Zhong Ming nodded and smiled happily.

"That's right, because in the current historical documents and all the evidence, the identity of this Meng Huo is temporarily uncertain, isn't it?"

For Meng Huo in the Three Kingdoms period, the most famous story is the story of seven captures and seven verticals in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

But because of this, many people have the impression that Meng Huo is just the barbarian king of Nanzhong.

But who is he? Is he from Jianning?Or from Yunnan?
It is unknown, and even his ethnicity is highly controversial.

Some people think that Meng Huo himself should be a Han Chinese who migrated to the south, and thus ruled the land of Nanzhong.Zhu Timeng has been an official in the Mainland since the Western Han Dynasty.The Meng family in Jianning was migrated from the south by the Meng family of Zhu Ti.During the Three Kingdoms period, there were Meng Yan (Zhu Ti), Meng Huo, Meng Gan, Meng Tong and so on.

However, some people believe that Meng Huo himself should be a member of the Yi nationality. In history, the leaders of ethnic minorities have been given Han surnames in all dynasties, so their surnames cannot be used to judge their ethnicity.As for the ethnic minorities who were instigated by the rulers of the past dynasties to kill each other, or were ordered to suppress them.So the Yi people helping Zhuge Liang beat Meng Huo cannot be used as evidence that Meng Huo is Han, not Yi.

In addition, there is another saying that Meng Huo himself is a Miao, and some even say that he is a Jingpo and so on.

But these are all matters that have not yet been conclusively determined, and the conjecture put forward by Zhong Ming is equivalent to defining Meng Huo as a Qiang people.

Because the existence period of the Qiang itself is in BC, and judging from the location of the tombs of the ancient Dian kings discovered so far, it seems that the two sides may be connected.

"Mr. Zhong, your idea may be correct, but the information we have now is insufficient."

"It's not enough."

Zhong Ming sighed: "So this time I'm thinking about investigating this matter after I've dealt with all the matters here."

"Anyway, we need to find a new subject to study when we go back, but we need to discuss with you whether this matter can be successful."

Having said that, in fact, everything is already understood.

Zhong Ming wanted to get Qin Fei involved, so that not only could he continue to study the four stone statues, but also with the support of Qin Fei's professional skills, their research and argumentation would be easier.

Can Qin Fei refuse such a request?
he can not.

Because no matter from which point of view, this is good for him, and it is also his specialty.

"Mr. Zhong, I can promise you."

"That's great! I'm treating you today!"

It could be seen that Zhong Ming was really happy, and he was ready to order food while talking, but who knew that Wang Changyou would suddenly come back at this time.

"Mr. Zhong, brother Tan, brother Xiao, the matter of Scott is finalized!"

So fast?
Qin Fei was also a little surprised, but he was relieved after Wang Changyou explained.

The original guess was right, Scott really planned to defraud Chen Xiaonian of the rough stone and compensation, but the implementation steps were slightly different from his previous plan.

Because Wang Changyou and the others caught the man who came to "buy" the rough stone after receiving the news. As expected, he was a foreigner, but he was not Scott's accomplice, he could only be regarded as someone hired by the other party.

At that time, after the man was arrested, there was no need for interrogation at all. Wang Changyou only said that he would find the relevant department, and the other party would be honest if he was deported.

The person who was caught by them was a local craftsman who worked as a jade carver.

After Scott sent someone to find him, he gave him 10 yuan and asked the jade carver to do this.

One thing worth mentioning is that although the relevant departments particularly supported the behavior of Wang Changyou and others, due to the problems of the rules and regulations, when they arrested people, they were accompanied by relevant departments.

Since the jade carver has all his livelihood and financial resources locally, it is not surprising that he is very cooperative.

But the jade carver himself doesn't know much, and the current conclusion is the result of assumptions made by relevant departments and Wang Changyou and others.

Zhong Ming nodded.

"If that's the case, we'll have to deal with the rest of the matter. Have the relevant departments arrested people?"

"Yes."

Wang Changyou snorted, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "If my deduction is not wrong, Scott and Chen Xiaonian should be taken away now; Mr. Zhong, I am sorry for your trust, and I made a mistake at work."

"This Chen Xiaonian is not a good person either!"

Ugh!
Qin Fei was surprised when he heard the words, what's the matter, isn't Chen Xiaonian a victim here, it seems that he heard what he meant, and there are other secrets?
