"She's your grandmother, do you know she's in a hurry to do something and don't have time?" Aning asked.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head: "I have investigated, although I have a little clue, I still don't understand." ”

"Don't you think you've heard that somewhere?" Mengli said suddenly.

"Yes!" After her reminder, Wu Xie suddenly remembered, "When the little brother came out of that meteorite, he kept saying that there was no time. ”

"It wouldn't refer to the same thing. Grandma Huo knows the little brother, so I think that no matter which one is solved, we can achieve our goal. Xiuxiu, tell me what you found? Mengli said, guiding their train of thought.

In short, now that their direction is out, the next thing to check is that there is no time for anything.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiuxiu's method was not to check down, but to use a very risky method, so that Wu Xie had to admit that the little girl in front of him, who was less than twenty years old, was so brave and resourceful. It took her months to imitate her grandmother's handwriting and write a reply to all the addresses on those old letters.

The letter went something like this:

[Ladies and gentlemen,

I recently dreamed of that thing again, how many years, this nightmare lingered, I don't know if my generation is okay, people in the twilight of life, half a foot into the coffin, I hope to see you again, there is still one thing I did not say back then, now I think about it, maybe it is the key, I hope to recount it in person, only as an old friend to reminisce. 】

In this way, she wanted to find out who had a relationship with her grandmother before, and maybe find out something. After waiting for almost five years, she felt that the hope of this method was very slim, but she still did not want to give up.

Finally, I waited for the reply.

Only one line of words:

[Don't talk about the old things.] 】

She followed the address of the letter, which was sent by a glass factory in Beijing, and the owner's name was Jin Wantang.

"I investigated him, he and his grandmother only had a business relationship, and then once, he was greedy and did a little trick in a matter, and my grandmother immediately found out, so I didn't continue to cooperate with him."

Then Huo Xiuxiu found Jin Wantang, but he was only an old fox, he knew the power of the Huo family, and he didn't know the purpose of Huo Xiuxiu's coming, and he didn't know whether he was here to settle accounts or spy on something, so he refused to say anything. But Huo Xiuxiu was very patient and ran to his store almost every day, for fear that he would not annoy Jin Wantang to death.

Later, I don't know if it was a dramatic development, that Jin Wantang's business suffered a setback and almost went bankrupt, but fortunately, Huo Xiuxiu came forward as the Huo family to help him settle down, and he kept his property.

Jin Wantang is not an ungrateful person either, and after a long time of hesitation, one night, he told Huo Xiuxiu everything on the phone.

It turned out that the deal he had crooked brains about back then was not an ordinary business, and it can be said to be the largest tomb robbery in the history of tomb robbery in China.

After that event, the Huo family, and even several other parties, were all greatly damaged, and the memories that that deal brought to these people were really terrible.

"The third uncle also said that Lao Jiumen used to be the biggest tomb robbery in history." Wu Xie said.

Mengli asked: "That event is related to Zhangjia Ancient Building?" ”

Huo Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise: "You know? That's right, they did go to Banai, as for whether it was Zhangjia Gulou, even he didn't know. ”

Just because she was so stunned, Mengli suddenly remembered the plot - Hua'er Ye!!

According to the development of the plot, Hua Erye will change his appearance into Xiuxiu, but this is not the old mansion, the plot has changed, how will it develop next? Forget it, I don't want to, as long as I don't mess up my house and don't smash things.

Mengli took a deep breath, stood up and smiled at Xiuxiu: "I'll wash some fruit." ”

Huo Xiuxiu was stunned, the plan was discovered! This girl didn't stop it, so ...... Go on?

"Why is it the largest in history, could it be that they are stealing mountains of gold and silver, and they need to be so large?" The fat man said strangely.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "That is no longer the inverted bucket in your concept, that transaction has gone beyond the concept of ordinary so-called tomb robbery." ”

"What kind of concept is it?" Aning asked.

Huo Xiuxiu just wanted to speak, but the little brother spoke on the side: "The purpose of their robbery of that tomb is not for money, but for another person who is still alive." ”

"You know that, too?" Huo Xiuxiu looked at the little brother suspiciously, and also looked at them very suspiciously, feeling that it was something they all knew, why did they ask her.

The little brother shook his head and fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then how do you know they're not in it for the money?" Huo Xiuxiu asked.

The little brother replied lightly: "The inevitability of history." ”

Mengli came over with a plate of fruit, put the fruit on the coffee table, sat down next to the little brother, took an apple and put it in the little brother's hand, and gave him a smile.

Mengli: I don't know why there is a feeling of an old mother comforting her son? Huh - can't think too much, can't think too much!

No matter what happened to the two of them, Wu Xie's analysis still had to continue, he said: "The old Jiumen has developed very strongly, the so-called things must be reversed, and when the money reaches a certain amount, it makes no sense to increase it or not. If it was the largest tomb robbery in history, there would be many things in the world that are more valuable than money. ”

Huo Xiuxiu pursed her lips and continued.

Jin Wantang started from scratch, and the family business is getting bigger and bigger, and the big deal came when he was the most proud of his life. At that time, the Huo family and he had been in a cooperative relationship for a while, and he didn't expect anything unusual, so he agreed to this deal.

He told Huo Xiuxiu that he estimated that the number of people involved in the entire transaction at that time was more than 200 people, and it was estimated that there were thousands of people involved but did not actually go to the ground, such as collecting information and buying equipment.

It's no wonder that this is the largest tomb robbery in history, and the scale can be imagined.

However, Jin Wantang felt that these were not enough to highlight the particularity of this transaction, and the reason why he felt special was because the leader of this transaction was very unusual, this was not a unique transaction, and there were many people involved, it was said that there were nine people in total.

"This is the largest tomb robbery in history initiated by Lao Jiumen, what is the content of the activity? My grandfather, and your grandmother, the people of the old Jiumen did not record it at all, and they did not let future generations know. Wu Xie fell into deep thought, his grandfather's notes did not record any such thing, and the third uncle wanted to investigate this matter, and was reprimanded by his grandfather.

It seems that he doesn't want anyone to know about this at all, not even himself.

Could it be that this matter is the core of the whole thing?

Jin Wantang is not a material for work, and he only has half a life left in the mountains, so he can only stay in the camp on the ground, and the others start to search everywhere, and bring things back every once in a while, most of them are silk books and bamboo slips, and ask him to identify and classify them.

So what the background of that ancient tomb was, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only deduce something from what he could identify.

First of all, he felt that there was not only one ancient tomb here, because the batches of silk books and bamboo slips that he identified had very different degrees of preservation, and the contents contained were all-encompassing, including letters, ancient books, and silk inscriptions.

So he felt that there must be a huge group of ancient tombs here, and they were digging this large area of ancient tombs. Because he is the only one in the whole team who is engaged in classification and identification, all the things shown to him are basically ancient books, and it seems that their ultimate goal may be the ancient books in this ancient tomb group.

Also, the number of people in the team is often reduced, and he has heard from others that there are often accidents while working, and it seems that there are some dangerous factors in excavation.

It takes a lot of time to identify the contents of these ancient books, and he originally thought that it would be over in a few months, but he didn't expect it to last for three whole years. In the past three years, he has been facing these ancient books every day, and his heart has almost collapsed.

One day three years later, when no new ancient books were delivered, he could finally go out to absorb the fresh air and look at the scenery outside, and suddenly had another insight into life in his heart.

He looked at the surrounding mountains and felt that there could be no tombs here, so his previous speculation was not valid. Because of curiosity, he secretly followed a group of people into the mountain one day, and after climbing a mountainside, the mountain suddenly turned into a large bare rock cliff, on which you can see countless caves, and there are some traces of ropes around.

It's just that in the back, people will always have selfishness, seeing so many ancient silk books with historical value, so many quantities, he thinks that if he takes one or two, no one will find out, what he stole is exactly the Lu Huang silk book of the Warring States that they value the most and want to unravel.

That day, he finished the final finishing work, and was about to go back to the tent with the silk book hidden in his sleeve to continue hiding, when suddenly someone came to tell him that he had been arranged to go out of the mountain directly that night and could return to Beijing.

Of course, it was the best thing to be able to go down the mountain and go home, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for him there was a thorough body search.

He hid a copy to the sole of his shoe before, but there was no suspense in the sleeve that was discovered, but he changed the shoe in advance, so it was not found. After that, he was twisted and sent to the main camp of the Old Nine Gates.

It was there that he saw the tenth person outside the Old Nine Gates, whom he had never seen before. He heard others call him "Leader."

This leader was less than thirty years old, and he was discussing something with another person at that time, and what impressed Jin Wantang the most was that the person's fingers were very unusual.

However, he didn't have the heart to observe it carefully, he was trembling with nervousness, and he was still arguing that he was a first-time offender, and that he wanted to take it back and study it himself because he was curious.

The leader looked into his eyes, and walked over, pressed his head with his two strange fingers, and suddenly with force, he almost heard his skull make a sound about to burst, and his facial features were twisted together in pain, and the young man's face was expressionless, and his fingers continued to exert force.

Then, the leader began to ask him questions, Jin Wantang still wanted to lie, but found that he couldn't think at all under this severe pain, the lie was full of loopholes, and in the unbearable pain, he finally confessed the matter of shoes.

Later, because Mrs. Huo interceded with him, he was able to go down the mountain safely.

Later, I don't know what happened on the mountain, Lao Jiumen suffered heavy casualties, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

After Huo Xiuxiu finished speaking, he said: "The leader who forced him to confess, who do you think he will be?" As he spoke, he looked at the little brother very meaningfully, "Does this have any hints for you?" ”

Wu Xie and the others all looked at the little brother consciously or unconsciously.

Listening to her describe the leader like this, it was very much like a little brother, and at that time, the little brother was also very likely to appear there.

"It's incredible to be the leader of the old nine gates, and to be a junior. Even if it is Zhang Da Buddha himself, it takes a big reason to command this group of people, and this young man's background is definitely not small and very special. The fat man pondered for a moment and said.

"Perhaps this leader does not need to have some prominent status, but the interests of the side that his status and identity represents at that time." Wu Xie said.

"Okay, let's go back to that videotape, Mrs. Huo's Lao Jiumen, who participated in a failed but huge inverted event, and then, decades later, her daughter and the descendants of Lao Jiumen also participated in a very mysterious archaeological activity, and then his daughter disappeared. From generation to generation, it will not be accidental. Then she received a videotape with an image of her daughter, so could the focus of this tape not be on the content, but on the tape itself? The fat man analyzed.

"I think it's possible, because I found the address and the key in the tape, and maybe there's something important in the tape that I sent to your grandmother." Wu Xie said.

"Little girl, why don't you take the tape out from your grandmother and let us see it?" The fat man egged.
