Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"But these cowards won't listen!"

"They're all obsessed with money, thinking about making a fortune by digging up huge tombs. I'm too embarrassed to teach you how to dream!"

Human nature is like this.

Liu Dongdong and a few others dug up the underground palace of Qingshan Temple with me. Each of us got a piece of Tang Sancai and made a small fortune. We all felt proud and thought we were successful.

Recently, seeing that I don't ask them to work, they all started thinking about making money on their own.

I gathered a few fellow villagers and went around looking for a big tomb.

After working for more than ten days, I didn't even touch the tomb.

"Master Chen, they are blind to the true power."

"I, Wang Hu, will definitely stick with you until the end... Ugh! I mean, well, loyalty!"

"I am absolutely loyal to you. From now on, you will be my boss!"

"With your command, I will brave the sword and the sea, Tiger, and I will not hesitate!"

Wang Hu was afraid that I would be angry and leave him because of this, so he swore a series of oaths to express his loyalty.

I smiled and waved.

I had long planned to gradually distance myself from Liu Dongdong and the others.

Those people are two-faced. They are loyal but not capable. They are not in my personnel plan at all.

Wang Hu is good in all aspects and is quite loyal.

As for how loyal he is, we will have to test it out slowly in the future.

"It's good that they left. You will follow me from now on."

"real?!"

"Great! Master Chen, don't worry. I, Hu Zi, will do all the dirty, tiring and hard work!"

Just as I was about to talk about going to Shangluo, a group of people came over with their arms around each other not far away.

The leader was Liu Dongdong.

Behind him were some strong young men in their early twenties, about seven or eight of them.

Wang Hu leaned close to my ear and whispered, "These are all young men Liu Dongdong brought from the village."

Liu Dongdong wanted to learn the method I used to dig out the underground palace of Qingshan Temple.

I figured that as long as there were enough people and they spread out to dig holes everywhere, there would always be a chance of stumbling upon a large tomb.

But he doesn't know how much work I did behind the scenes.

From consulting historical materials to observing Feng Shui on site, and finally to taking a chance on luck, it was all due to both hard work and luck.

Besides, he hasn't even learned how to use the pole yet, but he wants to make a fortune by leading others to set up a pot. It's totally a pipe dream.

Wang Hu continued, "Liu Dongdong is in charge of everything from eating, drinking, and defecating to urinating. After ten days or so, he's almost bankrupted."

As the old saying goes, a young boy can make his father poor.

People in their teens and twenties are at the age when they can eat and drink.

If you don’t dig anything in a day, you have to pay for the day’s work.

Speaking of failing to set up a scapegoat and losing money, it can be said that this is a common occurrence in the tomb-robbing circle.

An experienced pot head would first determine the location and dynasty of the tomb, whether it had been robbed, etc. before paying for the pot.

Only after confirming that the tomb was worth robbing did they contact Tui Zi Zhi Guo.

The legs are an important figure that connects the upper and lower parts.

Responsible for the technical command at the tomb-robbing site, guiding the hard-working people to dig holes, spread soil, and go down to the tomb to retrieve goods.

Of course, this was the operating mode later when Guotou did not go directly to the scene.

In order to avoid risks and improve their own safety, starting from the late 1990s, the pot head was basically controlled by remote control, and all on-site operations were handled by the legs.

If a problem occurs and is suppressed by the relevant departments, as long as the person in charge refuses to let go, the person in charge will be able to get away with it.

Before this remote control command mode emerged, the head of the team would basically go to the scene to supervise and direct.

The one who loses money is just like Liu Dongdong.

I don't even know where the tomb is. I'm like a headless fly, trying my luck everywhere, but in the end I get nothing.

So I am not surprised by Liu Dongdong's current situation.

Liu Dongdong was stunned when he saw me.

His face showed hesitation and guilt, like a child who was caught stealing.

He hesitated for a moment, forced a smile and walked towards me.

"Master...Chen."

The word "ye" was pronounced very softly, as if he was afraid that the young men would hear it.

Wang Hu stopped him and said, "What are you shouting? I didn't hear it clearly."

"My that..."

Liu Dongdong's face turned from blue to red, and he glared at Wang Hu with a reproachful look.

Then he half-bowed, took out a cigarette and handed it to me: "Master Chen, I've been anxious and have a sore throat lately, so my voice is not very clear. Please don't mind."

I didn't take his cigarette.

Pointing at the group of young men who had gathered around him, he said, "They've all formed a team to do something big, so why should I mind?"

"No, it's a misunderstanding."

"The young men from the village came to me to seek food, and I couldn't ignore my fellow villagers, so I let them stay with me."

"They're almost bankrupting me. I'm hoping you can show me a way to make a fortune!"

"Just point out the place and we'll do the rest."

"Just like last time, each person only takes one!"

The more Liu Dongdong spoke, the more active his mind became, and his eyes began to roll around.

But the group of young men were not happy to hear this.

"Who is he? Why do I need him to show me the way?"

"We came here to make a fortune, how can we work for others?"

Liu Dongdong shouted: "Shut up!"

"You eat and drink what I say, and you don't even listen to me?!"

"If you don't want to do this, go back to the village and farm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man stiffened his neck and retorted.

"When they called us in, they boasted to us, saying we'd be paid one dollar a day and could eat all we wanted, white flour buns and braised pork."

"I've been working with you for over ten days, and you have no money, no braised pork, and not even any white flour buns! You shameless bastard!"

"I don't want to tolerate you anymore!"

"Pay your wages, or I'll go back to the village and dig up your ancestral graves!"

Liu Dongdong's face suddenly turned dark.

Unexpectedly, these young people were disobedient and rebelled after being scolded a few times.

Wang Hule burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this is so funny."

"Liu Dongdong, what you did was not very kind. If you promised to give me steamed buns and braised pork, you must keep your promise."

"Don't add fuel to the fire!"

Liu Dongdong was shaking with anger.

He turned to me and said, "Master Chen, these young men... were recruited for you to help you expand your team!"

After explaining, Liu Dongdong shouted at the young men: "You ignorant bastards!"

"Open your eyes and look carefully, this is Master Chen!"

"I made my fortune with Master Chen!"

"If you want to get rich, you have to work for Master Chen like I do!"

Those young men pouted their lips or looked up.

No one took his words seriously.

"That's your grandfather, not our grandfather."

"If you like being a grandson, then be a good grandson and don't drag us into it."

"Pay us the wages quickly! We don't want to be bullied!"

The young men grabbed Liu Dongdong and asked for money.

Some people even picked his pocket directly.

Seeing the money being taken away, Liu Dongdong got anxious: "Give me back my money! That's my money!"

"Bah!" The young man took out the money and spat on Liu Dongdong's face.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go eat braised pork!"

Liu Dongdong was crazy and wanted to get the money back.

But he was beaten black and blue by the young men.

After watching the excitement, I took Wang Hu and prepared to leave.

Liu Dongdong knelt down in front of me.

"Master Chen, I know I was wrong!"

"Please give me another chance. I will definitely be loyal to you from now on!"
