4. [Lip Tapping]
"Second brother, isn't it just that the kid cheated 8,000 yuan, let's find a place to do a business and get it back, as for staring here for a day."
At the east exit of the antique market in Luochuan City, two people squatted at the mouth of an alley and smoked, among them, the lean man was the middle-aged man who had found Su Xiaofan before, and the younger man next to him was impatient, the weather was a little hot this year, although it was only mid-May, the temperature at noon was already more than 30 degrees, and he was squatting here without doing anything, and it was also a stinky sweat.
Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang didn't look away, this group of people is really the one who robbed the tombs and made a fortune from the ancients, usually they do their business by day and night, sleeping at home during the day, and working in the field at night, but today it is the other way around, staying outside on a hot day makes this young man very uncomfortable, and he is impatient to even talk.
"You know, I'm here for the eight thousand dollars?"
Wu Chuanbao, who was called the second brother, took a puff of cigarette, put the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe and crushed it vigorously, and said angrily: "The bronze that the kid took out has never appeared on the market and in major museums, even if his one is an imitation, it must be imitated against the real thing, as long as we bite this kid, we can take out the real thing." ”
"Second brother, how much money did you pay over there, are you so concerned?"
The young man's name is Wu Chuanpeng, who is the fifth brother of Wu Chuanbao's family, and those who do their business are basically not in the same village or their own family, because outsiders can't believe it, that is, now, if it is decades earlier, it must be the son who touches things in the tomb, and Lao Tzu is guarding the entrance of the thief cave to let the wind lead, because the son sees the wealth and wants to pit Lao Tzu from time to time, and Lao Tzu's pit son has never been, and over time it has become a rule in this industry.
Although there are not so many people who abide by this rule now, most of them are still based on blood or the relationship with Tongxiang in the same village, forming a tomb robbery gang, and very few outsiders will be recruited to join, Wu Chuanbao's tomb robbery gang is like this, everyone in it is surnamed Wu, all of them are stained with relatives, and the farthest relationship is not out of the five suits.
"Old Five, the matter hasn't been done yet, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, forget the rules?"
Hearing Wu Chuanpeng's words, Wu Chuanbao's face couldn't help but be gloomy, in fact, the division of labor is very careful, there are those who explore feng shui and fix the hole to find the tomb, there are those who dig and steal the hole to work, and there are those who go down to the tomb to get things, and the other is to find buyers, everyone is responsible for their own mess, and no one can exceed the rules.
Wu Chuanbao was engaged in the smuggling of cultural relics in the south in the early years, and there were many channels at hand, so it was logical that he became the person in the gang responsible for finding the next house to sell goods, and the things were taken out of the ground and handed over to him, and then Wu Chuanbao would take photos and pass them on to his old customers.
Speaking of Wu Chuanbao's tomb robbery gang, it can be regarded as self-produced and self-sold, which can maximize profits, and some tomb robber gangs have worked hard to get things up, because there is no channel for the next family, they can only sell things at the price of cabbage, but in the end they are cheaper than those cultural relics brokers.
"Second brother, I didn't mean that." Seeing Wu Chuanbao's face sank, Wu Chuanpeng suddenly felt a little weak, in their gang, except for the Wu family elder who they all called the third master, Wu Chuanbao had the highest status, after all, the shipping channel determined the income of their inverted bucket, if the thing could not be sold at a high price, they all had to drink the northwest wind.
"Old Five, this time, someone on the Xiangjiang side pointed out what I wanted." Seeing the appearance of the fifth brother, Wu Chuanbao felt that he was a little too strict, after all, the money was sold, and it still had to be distributed, although the amount of money each person got was different, but the accounts were open, and the fifth brother also had the right to know.
"They're out there." Wu Chuanbao stretched out a slap and said in a low voice: "And according to the quality, you can also add money, old five, do you think I can not care?" ”
"Fifty thousand?" Wu Chuanpeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a single object worth 50,000 yuan is already very good.
"Fifty thousand? Old Five, your eyelids are too shallow. Wu Chuanbao sneered.
"Half a million?" Wu Chuanpeng couldn't suppress his voice, but he immediately came to his senses, quickly looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Second brother, this thing is just a woman's headdress in ancient times, how can it be worth so much money?" ”
Wu Chuanpeng has been fighting with his family for a few years, and he also has some understanding of the market of various objects, and the things in the tomb, the best thing to shoot is jade and porcelain, these two things have great circulation, there are many people who collect them, and the market is also the most recognized, and there are people at home and abroad who can take over.
And the most difficult to encounter is the calligraphy and painting, because the tomb is damp, the calligraphy and painting are difficult to preserve, some of the calligraphy and painting hanging in the tomb, the robbery hole has just been weathered as soon as it is opened, but once you can meet the well-preserved celebrity calligraphy and painting, then you can make a lot of money, as for the bronze, the heavy weapon is the heavy weapon, but the country's crackdown is too strong, and the risk of shipping out is also very large, and the price is often pressed very low.
"You ask me, who do I ask? The picture given over there is to find this object, or I can be pitted by that kid? ”
Wu Chuanbao shook his head a little depressed, he has been doing this business for more than 20 years, and the cultural relics he has handled can be said to be countless, as long as it is something that comes out of the soil, it is true and can be smelled by sniffing it with a fake nose, and he didn't want to carry his head on a hairy boy.
The loss of 8,000 yuan is a small matter, but the old customers over there in Xiangjiang asked for this object by name, and even raised the price by another 300,000 yuan, which also forced Wu Chuanbao to turn back to Su Xiaofan, because according to the buyer, if Su Xiaofan did not have the real thing in his hand, he would not be able to make such a high imitation fake.
"This thing is so expensive, can that kid have the real thing on hand?" Wu Chuanpeng glanced at the antique market, "Second brother, if you want me to say that we might as well go and find a few more tombs, maybe we can come across them, didn't you say that many tombs in the Qin and Han dynasties have this thing." ”
The three sects and nine streams on the rivers and lakes, each share a share, Wu Chuanpeng They eat the food of their ancestors, although they can't do this because they are timid, but force is not their strong point, and he can also see that the kid surnamed Su has a lot of connections in the antique market, if they really play cross, they may not be able to take advantage.
"You don't know about it." Wu Chuanbao said angrily: "This thing is basically scattered in the tomb, unless the archaeologists take a brush to clean it up little by little, if we want to find a complete one, it is purely by luck, how can it be as simple as you said." ”
Wu Chuanbao had seen hoopoes before, but they were all incomplete, such a small object was buried in the soil, and it was impossible to find it without meticulous effort, and it was the most convenient to make an idea from Su Xiaofan.
"Old Five, the mountain has not been peaceful recently, and the third master said, we won't go to the ground during this time." Wu Chuanbao's face suddenly showed a look of shock.
"Second brother, I listen to you and the third master." Seeing the expression on Wu Chuanbao's face, Wu Chuanpeng couldn't help but shudder, he knew what the second brother was talking about.
It is also strange to say that since the end of this year, Tufuzi, who is begging for a living around Luochuan City, has had accidents one after another, not that he was arrested by the police, but in the process of robbing tombs, there have been several accidents.
First of all, the gang in northern Sichuan, when the next Han Dynasty tomb, the robbery cave suddenly collapsed, and the two people who went down were directly buried alive, even the person guarding the entrance of the cave was not spared, and the whole gang only escaped the person who was responsible for selling the stolen goods and was not at the scene, but he was frightened and left Luochuan without a trace.
There is also a gang in Xishan, which took half a year to dig up a tomb of the Qin Dynasty, the gang is relatively strong, the robbery holes are reinforced, and each of them wears oxygen masks when they go down, because it is a big tomb, there are many things in it, and there are five people who went down at that time, and there are three people who stay behind.
What people didn't expect was that five people went down for more than two hours, but there was no movement at all, seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the three people who were guarding it couldn't hold it back, and they all went down one after another, a full eight people, and finally only one came up, but the person who came up was crazy, just kneeling at the mouth of the thief cave and kowtowing vigorously, and when the nearby villagers found him, he was already kneeling there and died.
The tomb of the Qin Dynasty was stolen and excavated and people died, which naturally alarmed the relevant departments, the local archaeological department originally wanted to carry out protective excavations, but did not think that just one day of excavation, it died of a migrant worker hired in a nearby village, it is said that even the garrison was alarmed at that time, and finally Yanjing came to the expert, concluded that there was mercury poison gas in the tomb, and now it does not have the conditions for excavation, and buried the robbery hole.
These two things are very troublesome, especially in the inverted circle, almost everyone knows about it, there are rumors that the Bishan Difu was disturbed, and the people who punished it, and it is also said that they dug up the zombies, and they were all sucked into anger, in short, all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky.
As soon as these two things came out, almost no one dared to go down to the tomb in the Luochuan realm, and many gangs went to the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi.
"It's really a bit weird to say, when I went to the tomb some time ago, I always felt as if I was being targeted by something, second brother, let's go back and find a master to see, and ask for a talisman or something." Talking about this matter, even with a big sun, Wu Lao Wu felt cold on his body.
Recently in Luochuan City, especially near the boundary of the mountain, there will always be some inexplicable things happening, Wu Chuanpeng and the village they rented a few days ago also happened a very evil thing, I don't know if it is too much hormone feeding, more than a dozen big roosters in the village's big chicken families, overnight actually pampered thousands of hens, the whole night is chickens flying and dogs jumping, a village is not peaceful.
As soon as this incident came out, Wu Chuanbao and others were so frightened that they immediately quit the house in the village and rented it in Luochuan City, and it was precisely because of this that he met Su Xiaofan, who was setting up a stall.
