Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 315: Coaxing and Threats

Lin Ran knew that he had initially gained the other party's trust.

So he pretended to be shocked and said: "So many?"

Looking at Lin Ran's unseen expression, the scarred man was even more proud: "This is just the base price. The more valuable the things unearthed are, the more dividends you will get."

"That's great!" Lin Ran said, "It happens that I have also read some books about tomb robbing. I hope it can help you!"

"It's a deal." The scarred man patted Lin Ran on the shoulder. He liked such straightforward people.

The reason why Lin Ran mentioned that he had researched on tomb robbing was not to get close to the scarred man, but because he wanted to use his own efforts to protect the integrity of the tomb.

As for the tomb robbers in front of him, he would definitely send them to prison if he found the opportunity, so he didn't care about their arrogant attitude.

He was sneering in his heart, but on the outside he was calm, even a little greedy for money.

After initially gaining the trust of the tomb robbers, they no longer mentioned that Lin Ran was not allowed to leave.

Instead, Lin Ran was brought to Warner's villa. Xicun seemed very poor, but I don't know where Warner took out the money to build a special Western-style villa.

What was originally a garage is now used as a temporary warehouse.

When the rolling shutter was pulled up, there were still some people working inside.

"Brothers, stop working around, I've brought professionals here." The people in the Scar Team announced happily.

In the warehouse, a group of tomb robbers were pretending to study cultural relics and compare them with books.

Lin Ran saw an acquaintance, a small-eyed man who was selling cultural relics in Liulichang that day.

The small-eyed man also recognized Lin Ran, but he didn't know how to tell the boss the news.

The two of them looked at each other, and the small-eyed man chose to avoid it.

The other party was brought by the boss, and he was not on the same level as a fringe figure like him.

Northern tomb raiding teams like theirs often have character vacancies. They are basically temporary teams with unstable members.

Speaking of which, there was no particular mutual trust.

Lin Ran didn't mention this matter, but he knew that the small-eyed man looked at him with extreme vigilance just now.

Going down to the grave is a dangerous thing, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you down there, so you must find a way to get rid of this person in advance!

But now that I have just arrived, it is obviously not the right time.

In order to show his strength, Lin Ran began to conduct batch appraisals of the products on the table.

"This is a round coin from the late Warring States period. It is two to three centimeters in diameter and has the Chinese character Dongzhou engraved on it. It was the mainstream currency in the late Warring States period. The market price should be 100 yuan a piece."

"The phoenix-pattern crown of Qi State combines the production techniques of Qi State and Chu State culture, and has obvious characteristics of grassland culture. The market price is about 1000 or two hundred yuan."

"The bronze Taotie pattern is actually a wine vessel from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they liked to carve animal patterns on them. This one is Taotie, which is obviously the favorite of the King of Zhou. The market price should be around 500 yuan. ."

Lin Ran carefully appraised each cultural relic.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these tomb robbers were so bold, they actually stole so many cultural relics.

Although less than 20% have collection value, most of the cultural relics have been damaged beyond recognition. After all, copper is a relatively active metal and is easily oxidized. After oxidation, it will be damaged by weathering over time, and even its original appearance will not be visible.

But what surprised him was that there were a large number of civilian belongings in the tomb?

Then, Lin Ran recalled the culture of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Although slavery has been abolished, the burial culture was still preserved during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

The burial practices at that time were very cruel. When a person of moderate status died, at least 20 people had to be buried with him.

Even if there are virtuous ministers buried underneath, they still cannot escape the constraints of the culture at that time.

The burial objects of these civilians were of poor quality and were already in disrepair, losing their research value.

Lin Ran's evaluation of cultural relics is concise and concise. Although some cultural relics do not have official names, he has mastered the nomenclature. As the first archaeologist to see the objects, he naturally has certain naming rights.

That's why he behaved so calmly and calmly!

Although the surrounding tomb robbers were uneducated, they were not overjoyed when they heard that Lin Ran was so familiar with his family treasures.

As northern tomb robbers, they never lack physical workers, but they are not very good at using their brains. They usually use brute force to do things.

With this kind of appraisal master, their future income will definitely increase significantly.

The scarred man was even more proud. After all, he was the one who brought Lin Ran in. The deeper his skill, the greater the benefits he could gain.

The one hundred cultural relics in the warehouse have far exceeded their expectations!

At first, there were some tomb robbers who didn't want to give things to Lin Ran.

But now, everyone follows Lin Ran's lead and behaves obediently!

Every time a cultural relic is appraised, there will be an old man wearing glasses who will write down the detailed information and valuation in a book, and then settle the settlement with Warner.

All the cultural relics in the warehouse have been identified.

Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh, this was really a large-scale tomb robbing activity. The total value of these 5 cultural relics alone exceeded [-] yuan!

Warner seemed very happy and chatted privately with the scarred man for a while.

Then, Warner walked up to Lin Ran, took out a check with a smile, and signed his name.

"Mr. Lin, this is a 5000 yuan reward for you."

On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant, but in fact, Lin Ran had seen countless people, and he noticed something strange in Wanner's eyes.

He was just testing his reaction to taking money!

So, Lin Ran simply followed the plan.

First, he looked at the numbers on the check with a stunned expression.

Then he showed an expression of surprise, and then pretended to be calm and stuffed it into his pocket, pretending to be calm, but still said in an excited tone: "Thank you, Mr. Warner."

Lin Ran's expression was seen by Huanaer and Scar Man.

Now they were sure that Lin Ran was a profit-seeking guy and there was nothing to fear!

As long as you use money, you can buy his loyalty.

They have plenty of money now, but they are short on time.

Warner sneered in his heart: "Is this the little master you are talking about? His character is not very good. It seems that Chinese people are still easily deceived by hypocrites."

But he didn't notice that Lin Ran was also sneering in his heart.

"Wait until I send you to prison and deport you. Of course, before that, you have to defraud Huanall of all his money."

After accepting Warner's reward, the two parties formally reached a cooperation.

Now that Lin Ran was an accomplice, there was no need to worry about him snitching.

Warner's face was filled with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I heard that your family is building a house. This is just a small amount of money. As long as we finish this big project, your house can be built in the same style as my villa, and there are many more. of the remainder.”

There was an obvious threat in Wanner's words, telling Lin Ran: "I know where your home is, don't try to play any tricks!"
