Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 20: If you keep pestering them, will they die of envy?

The others immediately followed suit.

"Yes, bring out the good stuff and see it."

"Put it out there so everyone can open their eyes and gain some insights."

"Don't hide it, let us learn."

I wanted to keep a low profile and asked Boss Dong to stop them from making trouble.

Cui Hao proudly took out a piece of gold and held it high up and shook it in front of them.

The gold reflected a dazzling light, making them squint their eyes.

They stopped making noise immediately.

They all stared at the gold and gasped.

That was the largest piece of gold we got, a hollow gold shoulder ornament with a dragon pattern.

"Fuck!"

"Golden drops, golden drops!"

"How many grams does this big piece weigh?"

"How much is this worth?"

I quickly pressed down Cui Hao's hand holding the gold object.

"Don't show off your wealth, understand?!"

"what?"

Cui Hao was stunned and hurriedly put away the gold items.

"I'm not just holding back my anger. They're making such a fuss, and I'm treating them like the descendants of Meng."

"I just wanted to help you vent your anger and save face..."

Seeing the gold being put back into the bag, the five fellow travelers gathered around excitedly.

"Brother, you guys are really capable! Can you tell me where you dug up the gold?"

"Brother, are you short of help? We can help you out for free! Just teach us some skills!"

"Everyone, get out of the way, the two masters are here..."

The oldest one was about to kneel down, shouting "Master is above", and I quickly supported him.

"Everyone, please stop making trouble."

"We are not very capable, please don't do this."

Boss Dong raised his eyebrows and said to them with a cold face: "You don't want to ship the goods anymore, right?"

Just one sentence was enough to pinpoint their weak spot.

The five people smiled awkwardly, took two steps back, and apologized quickly.

"I just want to learn some skills from you two guys... uh, I want to learn some skills from you two young masters."

"Yes, yes, we are willing to help you two young masters."

"You two will be responsible for finding the acupuncture points. We will do all the dirty work of digging holes and digging graves."

There was a look of flattery and pleading in their eyes.

Tomb robbing is not a job that requires just brute force.

There is also a strong knowledge barrier.

Especially finding graves and locating burial sites.

Not only do you need to be proficient in Feng Shui knowledge from various dynasties, but you also need to understand history.

Through clues from historical records, we can determine the possible location of the large tomb.

Then use Feng Shui knowledge to explore the burial location and find the location of the tomb.

If you don’t understand these, you can only take your chances like a headless fly.

The five of them had been robbing tombs for nearly half a year, but they hadn't found a single large tomb.

The biggest gain was digging up some Han Dynasty pottery.

But pottery is worthless.

When they compared the gold items in our hands, they wanted to die.

That's why they are so eager to join the group and even become its apprentice.

"You have come to the wrong temple, and we don't know how to press acupoints," I said truthfully.

But they didn't believe it at all.

Instead, he tried to win my sympathy by playing the victim.

"Young Master, please don't be so modest. Boss Dong said you are a man of great ability!"

"We sincerely want to become your disciples! Please accept us as your disciples."

"My family is almost starving, and I rely on tomb robbing to make money to support them. If you're willing to take me with you, I only want 30% of the things I take from the tombs!"

"My dad is lying at the door of the hospital with no money for treatment. He's just waiting for money to save his life. If you want to take me to sell the big bucket, I'll only take 10%!"

"..."

Their persistence leaves me speechless.

Boss Dong also found them annoying, so he sent them away after receiving the goods and paying for them.

Before leaving, they were still begging and begging, hoping to go with me to plunder the big bucket.

Bang!

Boss Dong slammed the door shut, and the world finally became quiet.

"call!"

Cui Hao collapsed on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief with lingering fear.

"Brother, I was wrong."

"I will never show off my wealth again."

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Every failure is a learning experience."

"People out there are dangerous, so it's always better to be careful."

Boss Dong brewed some tea and brought it over, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, "Little brother, I knew there would be a surprise."

"Hurry up and show me all the good stuff."

We both took out all our things.

The large long table was filled with gold and jade artifacts.

Bang!

Boss Dong, who was so impatient, accidentally bumped into a chair.

Even though he was grimacing in pain and gasping for air, he still rushed to the table regardless of the pain in his foot, raised his magnifying glass and looked at it carefully.

Each piece of gold and jade wares with exquisite patterns can be regarded as a masterpiece of art.

Boss Dong was stunned when he saw this.

It's like seeing a beautiful woman, and I can't help but drool.

"Beautiful stuff, so beautiful! Slurp..."

“Every piece is a masterpiece!”

"Brother, you've got a big surprise! A huge surprise!"

"I'll give you this number!"

Without even looking up, he stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of my eyes.

Five thousand? Definitely not.

That’s fifty thousand!

This number far exceeded the 20,000 that Cui Hao and I expected.

Cui Hao jumped up from the sofa, stared at the five fingers, and asked cautiously, "Five, fifty thousand?"

"That's fifty thousand!"

"hiss!"

The huge impact of the money made him stunned.

In the morning, the villagers were still marveling at the appearance of a millionaire, but they didn’t expect that we would become the millionaires among the millionaires in an instant!

We split the fifty thousand in half, twenty-five thousand each.

It’s equivalent to two households with an income of half a thousand yuan!

Moreover, Huang Xinwen, a millionaire with a net income of only 6,000 yuan, can equal four of his in terms of net income!

"Fuck!"

"Brother, we are both millionaires!"

"Take the money back and show that bastard Meng Jianshe what a true millionaire is!"

"Let Xiufang's whole family know what it means to be blind!"

I smiled and shook my head.

This guy is really loyal.

Instead of being happy about his own wealth, he kept thinking about helping me vent my anger.

"You forgot not to show off your wealth?"

"Huh? Oh oh, look at my brain."

"I just can't bear to hear that for you. That couple is such a bully!"

"Now is not the time to vent your anger."

Boss Dong rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Someone bullied you?"

"We are brothers."

"To bully you is to bully me. I'll help you vent your anger!"

"I appreciate your kindness. I can handle this myself, but I need your help with my grandfather's hospitalization."

"It's a little sentimental."

Boss Dong patted his chest and made a promise.

Hospitalization can be arranged with just one phone call.

I thought I would not bother two people with the same problem, so I asked him to help me contact a car to take my grandfather to the provincial capital for hospitalization.

Another phone call was made and the car arrangement was made.

In those days, the reputation of Hong Kong businessmen was very useful.

As long as it's not something too out of the ordinary, it can basically be resolved with just a phone call.

"It's done. The provincial ceremonial fleet will be here soon."

The provincial protocol motorcade is responsible for the provincial government's reception, and is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

We were both shocked.

If he were to go back in the provincial protocol fleet, wouldn't the whole village be shocked?

Cui Hao's face flushed with excitement. "Being able to ride back in a courtesy car is definitely a great honor for our family, right?"

"Those people in the village who look down on us must be shocked, right?"

"Xiufang's family, blinded by their own blindness, must be filled with regret, right?"

"And the Meng family, will they die of envy?"
