Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

I am very curious about what Tuo Ye said to scare Meng Jingwei so much.

You have to know that Meng Jingwei is a notorious gangster who has been involved in many fights. It is no exaggeration to say that he is extremely daring.

Meng Jingwei's lips trembled and he shook his head vigorously.

"Master Camel won't let me say that."

"Master Chen, please don't make it difficult for me."

"Anyway, if you need anything in the future, just tell me, and I, Meng Jingwei, will definitely obey."

His frightened look made me even more curious.

After being questioned several times, he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything, only asking me not to embarrass him.

Seeing that I couldn't get any more information, I stopped pressing him.

"Okay, I plan to return to the village and open a factory in a while. When the time comes, I'll let you, the village chief, handle the formalities."

"No problem, I'm familiar with all the relationships, it'll just be a matter of a word from you."

Meng Jingwei took on the responsibility.

I had no other instructions, so I sent him away.

Before leaving, Meng Jingwei suddenly said, "By the way, Master Tuo asked me to bring you a message, saying that you should hurry up."

"Ok?"

It suddenly dawned on me that perhaps his real purpose in coming was to bring a message.

But why did Tuoye ask him to say this?

Three months is already a short time, how can we make the most of it?

Could it be that the situation has changed?

"What else did Mr. Tuo say?" I asked coldly.

"I told you to hurry up sooner rather than later. If you delay, something might happen and you won't have anything else."

I waved my hand and sent Meng Jingwei back.

Cui Hao frowned and asked, "Brother, why did Master Tuo say that delaying the process might lead to unexpected consequences? Could it be that the curse on us could actually trigger an early outbreak?"

"Hard to say."

"Why don't we go back to the village and ask Camel Master for clarification?"

I shook my head slowly.

I guess I won’t be able to get an answer even if I go back.

The most important thing is to find the trace of the Baon snake.

"It's a waste of time to go back. Let's hurry up and prepare for Shangluo."

In the next few days I was busy preparing plans to go to Shangluo.

This time we went there mainly to gather information and we did not go directly into the cave.

After Wang Hu and others arrived, I began to assign tasks.

"This time we're going to Shangluo, we'll split into two groups. Wang Hu and I will go one way, and Cui Hao will lead the others."

"Ah? Brother, can I do it?" Cui Hao pointed at himself, showing no confidence.

He used to be a pure target of bullying and had no experience in being a leader, let alone leading a team to complete a plan.

But I intend to train him.

Although Wang Hu is capable, he is still an outsider after all.

Therefore, the top priority is to train Cui Hao first.

"Of course you can." I said affirmatively.

My affirmation cheered up Cui Hao, and he held his head high and nodded vigorously.

"Brother, just tell me what I want them to do!"

"Your mission is simple. Go to the villages I've designated to gather information. Try to find out what happened to Professor Zhang and his men after they entered the cave."

"Also, collect stories and legends from local villagers, especially those related to caves and divine messengers."

In fact, the task given to Cui Hao and others is very simple.

It means to chat with people and ask about local stories and legends.

These ancient stories and legends may seem like old things to the locals, but if you analyze them carefully, you will always find clues.

Just like people always don't take things that they are familiar with seriously, but these commonplace things may become shocking news in other places.

What I have to do is to analyze clues to shocking news from the insignificant information I have collected.

"Haozi, do you still remember how I tricked Uncle Song into talking?"

"Be sure to find topics naturally, don't be too deliberate."

"When you go, be careful about your identities. Everyone should change into more respectable clothes and say that you are school staff conducting research for a project."

"It's best to get a fake work ID and carry it with you."

Cui Hao nodded repeatedly and took a pen to write down what I said.

Liu Dongdong and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

It is not difficult to use small talk in conversation. As long as you can speak, you can basically do it.

"Huzi, I'll take you to buy a suit later so you can pretend to be a Hong Kong businessman."

"what?!"

Wang Hu's eyes popped out of his head in shock.

He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm just a country boy. I don't look like a prince even if I wear a dragon robe."

Wang Hu's temperament is indeed a world away from that of Hong Kong businessmen.

But since I was too young, no one would believe me even if I pretended to be a Hong Kong businessman, so I had to let Wang Hu play this role.

He pretended to be a Hong Kong businessman and I pretended to be his assistant. We contacted officials in the name of investigating investments, and asked them indirectly at the dinner table about the situation when Professor Zhang got into trouble.

"Think about Boss Dong's aura and demeanor. How did he talk to you?"

"If you really can't learn it, I'll take you to Boss Dong to learn from him."

"Well, then I will study hard. I'm afraid if I don't learn well, it will be exposed and bad things will happen." Wang Hu still had no confidence.

I laughed and said, "All you have to do is act like a Hong Kong businessman and imitate Mr. Dong's accent."

"I pretended to be an assistant to a Hong Kong businessman and was responsible for the connection and communication."

"Oh, okay, I should be able to do this."

When Wang Hu heard that it was just an act, he immediately swallowed the heart that had jumped into his throat.

I gave a few more instructions and asked Cui Hao to take Liu Dongdong and others to prepare.

I took Wang Hu to Minsheng Store.

There are quite a few clothes in the clothing section of Minsheng Store, but there are very few styles of suits and the prices are extremely high.

At that time, few people in China wore suits.

In the late 1980s, more people began to wear suits, and in the 1990s, there was a suit craze.

Anyone who does business must wear a suit, tie and leather shoes, as if they cannot do business without such clothes.

I bought a suit for Wang Hu.

It is true that even wearing a dragon robe he does not look like a prince, and a suit cannot hide his rusticity at all.

Wang Hu looked at himself in the mirror, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.

Embarrassed, he said, "Master Chen, this dress is quite expensive, and it doesn't look very good on me. How about returning it?"

"No need to return. I'll take you to get your hair done."

Pulled Wang Hu straight to the barber shop.

The barber cut his hair, shaved his beard and washed his face. He looked much better than before.

However, they are still a long way from the temperament of Hong Kong businessmen.

"Let's go and learn from Boss Dong."

I took Wang Hu to Boss Dong's room.

After understanding the purpose of the visit, Boss Dong laughed: "Haha, Brother Shi Tou, there is no need to go through so much trouble."

"Wang Hu can't really act like a Hong Kong businessman, so you're a perfect fit for the role."

"But I'm too young." I said helplessly.

Anyone can tell at a glance that I am under 20 years old, and no one would believe me even if I said I was a Hong Kong businessman.

"Age isn't a problem. I can just endorse you. Besides, we're cousins ​​now!"

"With this status, dealing with the government will be no problem."

I nodded repeatedly.

I was indeed too narrow-minded before, but after what Boss Dong said, I realized that I am indeed the most suitable candidate to pretend to be a Hong Kong businessman.

Boss Dong saw that I understood, and asked with a smile, "Brother Shitou, you made such a big fuss, did you discover the tomb in Shangluo?"
