Chapter 54: Wutang Ghost Market
After coming out of the store, Chunchun asked, "Sister Lisa, is this weird?" ”
Lisa kept thinking about what the boss said, and Xiaoman said: "What kind of weirdness is this, every place has its own legends, and there are legends of Mazu along the coast." ”
Chunchun shook her hand in front of Lisa's eyes, Lisa came back to her senses, Chunchun said: "Sister Lisa, what do you think about it, let me ask you if this is weird." ”
Lisa said: "There are two strange things in the story told by the boss, first, even the archaeological experts dare not rush into the tomb, the tomb robbers not only entered but also brought out the burial goods, which shows that this group of tomb robbers is not simple, more powerful than experts; Second, since General Feiyan had been honest all his life and had no funeral goods, why did he still set up traps and poison gas in the tomb, what was the need? ”
Chunchun nodded thoughtfully, and Xiaoman said, "What's the need?" Are you willing to have your body dug up when you die? Of course, it's to protect the body. ”
Lisa rolled her eyes and said, "Don't get into the horns, that's not the case at all, maybe the boss just wants us to check this matter." ”
Xiao Man said coldly: "Are you sure?" ”
Lisa shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but if you find something weird, you have to look it up." ”
Xiaoman said: "This happened in the second half of last year, it's been almost a year, the tomb robbers are haunted, even the police can't find a trace, we only have one day how to check?" ”
Lisa sighed, "Do o."
e's best a

(Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven), you can check it or not, anyway, I will check. ”
Xiaoman was silent, and Chunchun said, "Sister Lisa, I support you, but how and where should I find out about this matter?" ”
Lisa thought for a while and said: "Just now the boss said that there is a ghost market in the western suburbs, the ghost market is a place for the circulation of illegal cultural relics, and most of the tomb robbers will choose this place to deal with cultural relics. ”
Xiaoman said: "Anyway, there is nowhere to go, so it's better to have fun." ”
Chunchun asked, "Do you want to tell Brother Cat and Master about this?" ”
Lisa shook her head and said, "There's no need for this, I'm not sure if this discovery is what the boss wants, so don't tell them just yet." ”
The three of them inquired on the street, and learned that the ghost market did not open until twelve o'clock at midnight, anyway, the time was still early to run to the snack street to play, and the three of them went to the western suburbs when the time was almost over, but they didn't expect that when the three of them arrived at the periphery of the ghost market in the western suburbs, they found that Luo Hui and Master Mao were already here.
Several people bumped into each other, and Chunchun was surprised: "Why are you here?" ”
Lisa said calmly: "What's strange about this, the master is an antique lover, but wherever there is a ghost market, the master will definitely appear." ”
"Oh~~." Chunchun came back to her senses: "It turns out that Sister Lisa knew that she would meet you here. ”
Xiaoman snorted unhappily: "Hmph, pretend to be smart." ”
Luo Hui was curious: "I accompanied the master to visit the ghost market, why did you come too?" ”
Lisa told Luo Hui and Master Mao about the discovery, and Master Mao sighed: "Alas, Lisa's group discovered the clue first and lost." ”
Luo Hui said disappreciatively: "Master, don't forget that we came to the ghost market first, how could it be that they won?" ”
Lisa smiled and said: "Brother Cat, we are a team, what does it matter who loses and who wins, the key is not to let the boss who asked the question win, so as not to make him think that we are useless." ”
A few people smiled knowingly, Xiaoman looked towards the ghost market curiously, here is the mountain, it is a wasteland at the foot of the mountain, there are half-human tall wild grass growing everywhere, the wind at night sweeps through the wild grass, making a whirring sound, like a ghost crying wolf, particularly gloomy, the ghost market is hidden in the rammed ruins in the barren grassland, and you can see the faint fire in the ruins from a distance.
The half-human-tall grass and ruins give the ghost market an excellent cover, and if it weren't for the fire, it wouldn't have been found hiding a place where illegal artifacts were circulating.
Lisa said: "I inquired during the day, this was the earliest place of residence of the people of Wutang, when General Feiyan and his cronies and soldiers settled here, and later the people found that the climate outside the mountain is better, the land is more fertile, suitable for growing crops, so they migrated to the past, and dug a canal to divert the water from the lake, gradually formed a river, after years of development to form a picturesque Jiangnan town, here was abandoned." ”
Luo Hui said: "Then this is still an ancient ruin, why don't you protect it?" ”
Chunchun said: "It is too difficult to protect the rammed earth ruins, and it is easy to desertify, so what is it to spend so much money to build a house?" If you don't appreciate the beautiful scenery of Wutang, who will appreciate the rammed earth pit that has nothing, of course, will not protect it if it has no value. ”
Xiaoman said: "You guys are really long-winded, let's go into the ghost market and have a look." ”
Xiaoman said that he was about to get into the wild grass, but was stopped by Master Mao, who said, "You can't get in like this." ”
Xiaoman was curious: "What do you mean?" ”
Luo Hui explained: "We have inquired, not everyone can enter the ghost market casually, you need a referral, to put it bluntly, you have to be led by an acquaintance to enter, I heard that you need a token." ”
"Huh?" Xiao Man was surprised: "You still need acquaintances to enter this ghost place?" ”
Master Mao nodded and said: "We also heard that the ghost market in Wutang is a market organized by several local antique wealthy merchants, and the vast majority of the shops on the antique street and calligraphy and painting street are under the names of these wealthy merchants, because these rich merchants have too much influence in Wutang and promote the development of Wutang's economy and tourism, even if the police know that the shops under their names sell fake antiques, they dare not easily touch them, if they move them, it is equivalent to moving the economy of Wutang, and a variety of factors force the police to turn a blind eye." ”
Lisa then understood, frowned and said: "No wonder, I heard the shopkeeper say that after the tomb of General Feiyan was stolen, the cultural relics had passed through the ghost market, and the police may have found clues and wanted to end the ghost market, but in the end it was over, it seems that these rich businessmen are obstructing it, and it is not clear that the tomb robbers are found by these rich businessmen, otherwise how can they not catch people, it may be a prison guard stealing!" ”
Luo Hui said indignantly: "Isn't this blatantly using the Wutang economy as a threat? It's a crime! The leaders don't care, what kind of royal law is there?! Now that it is a society with a legal system, they wantonly trample on the legal system like this, making the law a dead letter, what is the meaning of the law, what is the meaning of the law, it is really fucked up! ”
