Two adjacent yards were rented on Nanking Road, each rented by a white special forces, one of which was next to the Yokohama Shojin Bank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info next to the bank's yard announced that he was going to renovate the house and hired craftsmen to dig the basement.

When construction began, the Japanese from the Bank of Yokohama came to inquire and learned that the tenant was British, so they went back to the bank. At this time, Japan's international status was still very low, and it was on the road to break away from Asia and join Europe, which it had planned for itself. The First Sino-Japanese War won the Manchu Empire, and it was generally considered that the opponent was too poor. Japan's status was truly improved until it won the Russo-Japanese War before it was recognized as the world's last power.

Shen Mingxuan's family was busy packing up their things, and yesterday they received a telegram from the capital, and the official text had been sent, and as soon as the official mail arrived, they could take it and take office. At this moment, the male host is not at home, and the colleagues of the Commercial Electricity Bureau are cooperating to feast on the upstarts, and everyone is in the industry.

In the bedroom on the first floor, the mother and daughter of the Shen family were packing up their things, in fact, everything had been packed countless times, and the urgent ones had already been packed.

"Tianjin is close to the capital, and it is said that there are powerful people everywhere. Let's let your father pay attention, just with the appearance of our family Yue'er, how can we marry the son of a university scholar. ”

Mrs. Shen chattered while cleaning up, so ashamed that the girl blushed and snorted.

"Mom, I'm not going to get married."

"Hey, silly girl, how can a girl grow up to be unmarried." Mrs. Shen scoffed.

"Why not? There is a woman named Nightingale in England, who is in charge of the military hospital, and she is now 70 years old and has not yet married, and the Queen of England has awarded her a medal. The girl retorted angrily.

"Nonsense! Yue'er, who taught you this? Mrs. Shen immediately became alert, pondered the dangerous people around her daughter recently, and pointed upstairs with her finger, "Did the disciple above say it?" ”

"It's not, Mom, don't wronged a good person."

Shen Yue protested softly, and felt that it was wrong when he said it, is that guy a good person? I found it several times, and secretly peeked at her.

As soon as it was mentioned inside, the disciple outside the door came and knocked on the door. Liang Hong came to deliver the invitations, and the diamond auction he snatched from the Kimberley, the French auction house held the hammer, and the time was Thursday, August 25, the day after tomorrow.

"You're just in time, that guy named Nange, did you tell my daughter?"

Mrs. Shen opened her mouth and asked, her tone was very unkind, and she even saved polite salutations.

"Who is Nange? Which nationality does the person do you do business? ”

Liang Hong was confused when asked, there are people with the surname Nan among the Han people, but there are very few, and he doesn't know any of them in this world. There may be a foreigner named Nange, but he doesn't know it. As for Brother Nan, it is a title on the rivers and lakes or in the market, not to mention that he doesn't know him, even if he knows, he won't be introduced to Shen Yue if he is killed.

looked at Shen Yue, one of the parties suspiciously, and saw that the girl was blushing again.

"Mom, I really didn't say it Mr. Liang."

The girl turned around again and apologized to Liang Hong, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang, my mother misunderstood." ”

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, which caused us to have a false alarm, the little girl was polite and good, but the mother was by, Liang Hong hurriedly controlled his gaze.

"It's okay, just make it clear", after thinking about it, let Mrs. Shen be so angry, maybe this Nan brother is really a gangster.

"Mrs. Shen, Shen Yue was bullied by this Nan brother?" As he spoke, he pointed upstairs with his finger, "You don't need to find someone to scare him." ”

The two white special forces upstairs usually stay in the house and don't come out, Liang Hong said that he is his friend, but the Shen family and his wife have inquired several times, suspecting that it is the white bodyguard he hired. Liang Hong neither admitted nor denied it, but just diverted from the conversation.

Poof, the mother and daughter both laughed when they heard him ask.

"I chatted about Nightingale, but my mom got it wrong and wrote it as Nange." Shen Yue covered her mouth and couldn't help but laugh and explain.

"So Nightingale, she's quite famous in England." Liang Hong casually agreed, but he was still a little confused, "The old British lady who is far away in London, why did she make you angry?" ”

The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding this time, Shen Yue ran with a red face to tease the Pekingese dog raised at home, and Mrs. Shen took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Mr. Liang, are you here for something?"

"Yes, I almost forgot about business, a foreign friend of mine gave me a few invitations to the French jewelry auction, and I don't know if Mrs. Shen is interested."

As he spoke, he handed over the gilded invitation.

The invitations were elaborately made, with speeches in French, English and Chinese. The French are absolutely experienced in the luxury industry, and have guided European fashion since the time of Louis the Elder.

In normal times, Mrs. Shen is really not very interested. But now she has become the wife of the superintendent, the family of the official of the sixth grade of the imperial court, and she also needs to open her eyes to Western jewelry, in case she has the opportunity to receive it in the future. In addition, there was Liang Hong bewitching his lips and tongue next to him, so he decided to go and see the excitement on the spot.

When it was dark, Liang Hong changed into civilian clothes and went out, and soon two white special forces also quietly followed. From where they live to the newly rented yard on Nanjing Road, it is only a dozen minutes walk.

To renovate the courtyard of the house, a large square pit more than one person deep was dug in the center of the house. The previous group of workers in charge of digging the pit have left, and no one in the neighborhood knows how the family is going to toss, but this is a private matter, and since the landlord has agreed, others are not qualified to ask.

According to the prior agreement, Liang Hong and the others entered the courtyard next to them one after another, and the courtyard wall separated by the two courtyards was collapsed yesterday and a gap was opened. Renting this yard is Liang Hong's self-protection measure, and legally, even if the yard next to it rebels, it has nothing to do with the neighbor next door. The traditional Chinese law is invalid in the concession.

All kinds of newly built tools were taken out, which were designed by Liang Hong according to the Luoyang shovel of later generations. The Luoyang shovel for tomb robbery is a complete series of shovels, and the shovel head is divided into four types: soil shovel head, brick breaking shovel, sediment shovel head and cylinder shovel. The soil shovel is used to dig up the soil, the brick shovel is used to break up the rocks and bricks, the mud shovel can bring out the sediment, and the shovel is used to deal with the silt and bring out the sediment like water. Don't underestimate these tools, they can definitely increase the speed of tunneling, which has been verified by countless tomb robbers in later generations. The concession is close to the coastline, and it is easy to dig underground to get water, so this is where the mud shovel and the shovel come in handy.

The pit was lit with gas lamps, and Liang Hong and several of them changed into canvas overalls and began to dig in front in turn, while the people behind were busy doing all kinds of aftermath, transporting out the sediment, trimming and reinforcing it. It is important to dig a pit at night, and the action should not be too big, so as not to make a movement to attract attention. Fortunately, the subsoil has a high moisture content and is easy to excavate, but it also increases the risk of landslides. Liang Hong had been prepared for this, digging forward and supporting him with pre-prepared wooden piles and steel beams, just like a coal mine to make roadway supports.
