Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

"I didn't take more!"

Lu Bin struggled and tried to argue, trying to break free from Wang Hu's hands.

But Liu Dongdong and others rushed over and pinned him to the ground by pressing his arms and legs.

The so-called worry is not about scarcity but about inequality.

When everyone follows the rules, anyone who breaks the rules will become the target of public anger.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

"This is my village. Believe it or not, if I give you a shout, you won't be able to leave Phoenix Plain!"

Lu Bin screamed fiercely but weakly.

Trying to scare people with the advantages of one's own hometown.

If he were in Jiangyuan Village, shouting like this would probably be useful.

But this wilderness was several miles away from the village, and it would be useless even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.

Snapped!

Wang Hu took off his shoes and slapped Lu Bin's face several times with the soles of his shoes, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"You idiot, you still have the nerve to yell!"

"And you're threatening us!"

At this time, Cui Hao followed my instructions and searched Lu Bin and found the two gilded bronze cups.

"Lu Bin, do you have anything else to say?"

"..."

Lu Bin was completely panicked and said in panic: "I, I was greedy for a moment!"

"I just wanted to sell more to take home! Just forgive me this time, I promise I won't do it again!"

"Master Chen, please forgive me. From now on, I will be your slave, your ox and your horse. From now on, my life will belong to you!"

"I promise I won't do it again!"

"These two cups and my Tang Sancai lion are presented to Master Chen as a token of my filial piety. I only beg you to spare me!"

Lu Bin looked at me with a pleading look in his eyes filled with fear.

He was begging for mercy.

As if he felt that this was not pitiful enough, he kept talking about how difficult his family was, how the elderly couldn't afford medicine, and how the children couldn't go to school.

I took out a cigarette and put it to my lips and lit it.

I didn't expect to encounter someone who didn't follow the rules the first time I led someone to work.

How to deal with it is a big question.

If it is not handled properly, people will think that you are being soft-hearted, and then more and more people will pretend to obey your orders but actually disobey them, or even commit crimes against their superiors.

So there is a saying that goes "A kind person cannot command an army."

Even if what Lu Bin said about the misery at home was true, I couldn't be soft-hearted.

It is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey to establish authority.

My silence made Lu Bin completely panic.

He was pinned to the ground and unable to kneel down and kowtow, so he banged his forehead hard on the ground as a kowtow.

Boom!

After a few collisions, blood appeared on his forehead.

"Master Chen, please let me go!"

"Please consider that this is my first offense and give me a chance to reform!"

"I promise to be obedient and work hard from now on, and I will never be greedy again!"

When Lu Bin begged for mercy, Wang Hu and others were looking at me.

They were all waiting to see how to deal with Lu Bin.

I took the last puff of my cigarette, flicked the butt onto the ground and crushed it with my foot.

"Lu Bin, you understand the rules, right?"

"I, I, I don't understand!" Lu Bin said with tears in his eyes.

He was really scared, his whole body was shaking violently, and a stream of water spurted out between his legs.

Wang Hu and others looked at him with contempt when they saw him wet his pants.

"You're a coward and you still want to bite the hard stuff."

"If I had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You don't even follow Master Chen's rules. You're just courting death."

"Master Chen, what do you think we should do with this coward? Or should we dig a hole and bury him?"

Lu Bin's body trembled even more violently.

A foul smell came out of him. It was obvious that he not only peed his pants, but also pooped out of fear.

Wang Hu and the others frowned, let go of him and moved several steps away.

"This coward is so scared that he's pooping his pants!"

"How dare you!"

"It's so shameless, it's better to dig a hole and bury it."

Lu Bin crawled to me crying and kowtowed hard.

"Master Chen, Master Chen, I was wrong!"

"Please forgive me this time because I led the way!"

"I may not have made any contributions, but I have worked hard. I am not guilty of a capital crime just because I am greedy and make mistakes."

I didn't actually want to kill him.

It was just that Wang Hu and others instigated the commotion, causing Lu Bin to imagine that he was going to be buried alive.

Murders are rare among tomb-robbing gangs.

After all, everyone is looking for money.

Moreover, killing people brings too much trouble, and the cost outweighs the gain.

Usually, deaths only occur when tomb-robbing gangs fight among themselves and rob each other.

I smiled and nodded, "It's indeed not a crime punishable by death."

Lu Bin felt relieved immediately, as if he had heard the gospel from God.

"Thank you, Master Chen, for your forgiveness. I will definitely work hard in the future and will never be greedy again!"

"Don't be so quick to thank me. Your right hand made a mistake, so you must receive the necessary punishment."

"Disable his right hand."

Lu Bin's heart, which had just been put at ease, was immediately weighed down again.

"Master Chen...ah!"

Before he could say any more words to beg for mercy, Wang Hu swung the hammer and hit him on his right hand.

Bang!

The heavy hammer came down.

Lu Bin's right hand was covered in blood, with bone fragments sticking out from the smashed flesh.

His right hand was completely useless.

After a terrifying scream, Lu Bin fell to the ground and twitched in pain.

The sweat from the severe pain soaked his clothes, and he looked like he had been fished out of a dam.

His miserable appearance made Liu Dongdong and others purse their lips, and there was more awe in their eyes when they looked at me.

In the past, they called me Master Chen more to please me.

He wanted to get rich by currying favor and learning technology, and he didn't really put me in a superior position.

The appearance of awe shows that they already regard me as a superior.

This is also the effect I want.

"Master Chen, do you think this will work? Otherwise I will break his entire arm." Wang Hu asked respectfully.

Among these people, Wang Hu has the best understanding, thinks the fastest, and is the most obedient.

All his performances were to prove his worth to me.

Prove that you are worth following me.

I nodded with satisfaction: "Well done, I'll look for you again if there's work in the future."

"Thank you, Master Chen. As long as you have my orders, I, Hu Zi, will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Wang Hu was even more humble, completely regarding himself as a younger brother.

Liu Dongdong and the others only came to their senses at this moment, and started moving their lips to try to follow my example, but I turned and left without giving them a chance.

They seemed to have missed a great opportunity and kept slapping their thighs in regret.

Lu Bin stared at my back with resentment, muttering bitterly, "Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go!"

"Fuck! You're still saying such harsh words!"

"How dare you disrespect Master Chen? Get him!"

Hearing Lu Bin's resentful murmurs, Liu Dongdong and the others immediately became excited and surrounded him, starting to beat him up with punches and kicks.

Lu Bin's arms and legs were broken.

After the fight, they came to report to me, each of them like a primary school student asking for praise from the teacher.

"Master Chen, I, Liu Dongdong, will follow your lead from now on!"

"Me too, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"

"Master Chen, don't forget me. Be sure to call me if there's any work!"

I smiled and nodded.

Let them go back to the ruined temple to pack up their things and not leave any traces.

After packing up our things, I took Cui Hao and left with them.

Cui Hao remained silent on the way, completely unlike his usual talkative self.

"Mouse, why don't you speak?"

"Brother, I'm wondering if Lu Bin will report us. Storytellers always say to uproot the weeds. If you're afraid of getting your hands dirty, I can do it."

I was stunned for two seconds.

I didn't expect Cui Hao to have such a big change.

It turns out that the poor little guy who didn't dare to fight back when being bullied is now thinking about getting rid of the problem completely.

I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

"The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing."

“The difference between crossing the bottom line is zero times and countless times. Once you cross the bottom line once, there is no turning back.”

"Mouse, we are only going on the road of tomb robbing for wealth, so we must not let blood stain our hands."

"Even if I have to get bloodied, I have to use my brain to kill with a borrowed knife."
