Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

From Jizai's words, we can analyze that the internal fighting in the hall is quite fierce.

There must have been a fierce conflict between Longtou Wei and Baizhishan Bin.

So Jizai's words were reminding me that it would be better to leave quickly and not get involved in the internal strife in their gang.

But I want to know more.

So he pretended to be confused and said, "Why can't I get away after meeting Brother Wei?"

"I don't even know him."

"I have no grudge against him."

"Hey!" Jizi shook his head vigorously: "You don't understand."

"I've heard Brother Shan say that before."

"Brother Wei has secretly contacted Boss Dong, wanting to form a partnership to open an antique shop on Hollywood Road."

Hollywood Road is Hong Kong Island's antique street.

Many antiques that flow through irregular channels usually end up in Hong Kong Island as their first destination.

After receiving the goods, if the antique dealers in Hong Kong are valuable, they will secretly contact various buyers to sell them.

The initial buyers were international collectors.

Later, when China became rich, we would also contact wealthy people in China who liked collecting.

A considerable portion of the antiques returned to China by wealthy individuals or private museums were purchased from Hong Kong Island.

For example, the famous Qinghua Bamboo Slips were sold by antique dealers in Hong Kong at the time and were connected to well-known scholars in the domestic history and archaeology circles.

After viewing the sample bamboo slips, the renowned scholar commented, "If they are all genuine, then they are historical materials that even Sima Qian had never seen."

Later, after much effort, a domestic businessman came forward to acquire the batch of bamboo slips and donated them back to the country.

Slightly more ordinary antiques will be sold in antique shops on Hollywood Road.

In the 1990s, the director of a Shanghai museum received news from a professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

It is said that a set of fourteen chime bells appeared in an antique shop on Hollywood Road.

It is also believed that the chime bells must have been stolen from a tomb in the mainland, but the inscriptions do not read smoothly and there is suspicion that they were forged and engraved later.

The curator immediately rushed to Hong Kong Island.

After seeing the chime bells, I scraped together one million yuan from my friends.

He bought this set of chime bells, brought them back to China, and donated them to the Shanghai Museum.

After the chime bells were brought back, many people thought that the curator had made a mistake and bought a fake.

But later, two chime bells were unearthed from the tomb of the Duke of Jin, which just happened to complete a set with these fourteen chime bells.

Later, the main culprit in the robbery of the Jinhou Tomb was arrested and brought to justice.

He confessed to stealing fourteen chime bells and selling them to Hong Kong Island...

It can be said that the antique shops on Hollywood Road are a great place to go for treasure hunting.

As long as you have a good eye, you will definitely find something.

It's even possible to pick up a big bargain.

Of course, the antique shops on Hollywood Road are also very profitable.

Especially if you have control over the supply channels in the mainland, making money is extremely easy.

Let’s get back to the present.

Jizai’s words made me think a little.

He asked casually, "Did Boss Dong agree?"

Jizai shook his head vigorously: "Boss Dong is only being polite to Brother Wei on the surface."

"He doesn't think highly of Wei Ge at all."

"Speaking of which...I'll tell you another secret."

"Boss Dong is related to the Ma family, so his background shouldn't be too deep!"

"You're lucky to be able to work with Boss Dong!"

"Don't forget me, your brother, when you become rich!"

Jizai put his arm around my shoulders and forced a flattering smile on his face.

It seems that Boss Dong has a considerable background in Hong Kong Island.

Now I can feel more at ease.

I thought again about how Shan Ge asked us to help take care of his family.

So he asked, "By the way, Brother Shan's body..."

The smile on Jizai's face faded instantly.

He hung his head and said, "The bodies are covered with gunshot wounds. They can't be transported back."

"Uncle Hui has already had the coffin and tombstone prepared."

"I guess we'll pick up Brother Shan's family this afternoon to handle the funeral."

"The Tong will give a pension, but it's not much."

"Few of those who come out to make a living can provide their families with a good life..."

It’s really not easy to survive in the underworld.

Those who can make something of themselves are extremely rare.

Moreover, there is a risk of death or disability at any time, and it is not as glorious as imagined.

"Brother Shan died for us, so we have to help him take care of his family, right?"

If you are in the mainland.

I can also find a way to take care of Shan Ge's family's future life.

But this is Hong Kong Island...

After this batch of goods is delivered, leave some money for Shan Ge’s family.

I can't just walk away. That would be too unfair to Brother Shan.

clap clap!

Chicken slapped the railing on the side of the boat hard.

"I will visit from time to time, and if I am able, I will also help support Shan Ge's family."

"Hey, Brother Shan's parents died early."

"He's the only one left at home with his wife and children."

"His child is only five years old."

"It's estimated that before long, his wife will remarry with the children..."

When a man dies, the family is basically broken up.

Women usually choose to remarry.

What's more, there are only his wife and children left at home, so the possibility of him remarrying is very high.

"Do you know the address of Brother Shan's house? I'd like to go visit when I have time."

"I'll write it to you."

Jizai quickly wrote down an address for me.

I put the note away, thinking that I would need a place to stay in Hong Kong Island in the future.

There must be someone reliable to manage the place.

I don’t know if Brother Shan’s wife can be relied upon.

If it's reliable, I might consider it.

Soon the freighter docked.

A van was parked at the dock.

Jizi pointed to the driveway and said, "That's Boss Dong's car."

"I'll have someone load the goods directly onto the truck. You get off the boat and follow them."

"Don't let Brother Wei..."

He was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly turned grim.

"Oh no, Brother Wei is here!"

"That's Brother Wei!"

Look in the direction of Jizi's finger.

I saw a burly Wei Ge.

Brother Wei was about thirty years old, with sleek, slicked-back hair, and tight clothes that were bulging due to his muscles.

He came over surrounded by a dozen younger brothers.

At that time, there were gangs at all the large and small docks in Hong Kong Island, and their main business was to watch over the situation at the docks.

Responsible for loading and unloading cargo, maintaining order at the dock, and preventing hostile forces from damaging the dock.

Brother Wei’s gang is responsible for looking after the Ma family’s dock.

Transporting women here to engage in the flesh trade is another way for the gang to make money.

However, the flesh trade should be controlled by Brother Bin, and Brother Wei can only watch without getting any share.

Brother Wei swaggered over to the van.

The two people standing next to the truck hurriedly greeted Brother Wei.

Brother Wei smiled and nodded, then raised his eyes to look at the boat.

It was too late when I wanted to turn my head away from his gaze.

Our eyes met in mid-air.

His sharp gaze made me feel like I was being stared at by a cheetah.

Suddenly I felt like he had been targeting me for a long time!

The stare lasted less than a second.

But it felt like an hour to me.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment!

Brother Wei's mouth slowly opened up, revealing eight teeth as he smiled at me.

Chicken whispered, "You're done!"

"Brother Wei's eyes must be on you!"
