Chapter 144: Hypocrisy and Hypocrisy
After listening to the report of the gold and silver brothers, Uncle Li squinted his eyes and twisted his beard to think about things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Dawu hugged Xiao Wu and cried bitterly: "Uncle, my brother's recruitment was abolished by them, I can't let them go, I want to avenge my brother." ā
Niu Er was also lying there roaring with lotus in his mouth, his throat was also broken, his eyes were still covered with white veils, and the blood was constantly oozing out, and he had been stained with bandages.
Niu Er's eldest brother Niu Da has not come back from running errands in the field, and if he sees his brother like this, he will definitely not give up easily.
Li Tianming had a headache, and this Li Ergou left himself a string of troubles.
But he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, he knew that this was an opportunity. A chance to kill multiple birds with one stone. But now he can't show it on his face.
Li Tianming nodded and said, "Well, the revenge must be avenged, but now we can't fight hard, this group of people has guns in their hands, although there are many of us, but no matter how good the kung fu is, we can knock it down with one shot...... Jinzi, do you know the origin of Li Ergou's group of people? I only knew that this guy had a bit of a skill in dividing money and looking at feng shui, why is he still armed? ā
Scar Jin said, "I've heard before that Li Ergou's gang also formed a gang when they were fighting a few years ago, what is it called the Black Earth Gang." Once, during a fighting in the county, Li Ergou's group of men stormed the arsenal of the armed forces department, and it is said that they robbed a lot of guns and came out. ā
"Uncle Li, should we get a few guns too? It will be convenient to do things in the future, although there are many of us today, but we are being shot by Li Ergou's group of people, and we can't move! ā
Li Tianming nodded and said, "You can arrange this matter, remember to be careful, don't do it locally, don't make too much of a formation, we are tomb robbers, not munitions, and try to make short guns, not long guns." ā
Jin Zi nodded, "Got it, that money ......"
"You take the money first, and I'll report it to you when it's over."
Jin Zi pouted and the boss was reluctant, and asked me to cushion at every turn, your money is money, and my money is not money......
"Xiao Wu, Niu Er, the two of you have lost your recruitment, you can't do your work anymore, go back to your hometown in a few days - but Uncle Li will not forget you, in the future, the brothers will share the money, and they will have your share."
Li Tianming patted Niu Er's shoulder, Niu Er was beaten the worst, and now he can't stand up straight, so he has to be held.
To tell the truth, Li Tianming still appreciates this Niu Er very much, he is loyal and obedient, and he can fight with his hands and feet, so it's a pity.
Li Tianming turned his face and said to the others, "We have blessings and hardships to share." In the tomb robbery industry, they all pin their heads to their belts. If you want to stand on your feet, you have to have hard hands and feet! Don't be cowardly! Rest assured! As long as you listen to Uncle Li, if something happens, Uncle Li will cover you. ā
"With the money from this shipment, I will take out a special sum to recuperate Xiao Wu and Niu Er, and I will definitely not wronged you, as long as Uncle Li is here, I will cover it for the rest of your life!"
Turning his head and nodding to Dawu, Dawu hugged Xiao Wu and touched a handful of tears: "Thank you, Uncle Li." ā
In fact, raising such two waste people for nothing, Li Tianming is still quite distressed. But he is also shrewd in his calculations. These two pairs of tricks have won everyone's loyalty, and these half of the good goods have already made a lot of money.
His top priority now is how to deal with Li Ergou's group.
The mountain is so big, and there are so many tomb robber families, if everyone has to divide the territory with themselves, then it will be more and more difficult to do their own business in the future.
Now Li Tianming understands a little bit why his father wants to keep the tomb and hide the tomb, which is the savings left for future generations in case of emergency. It's a pity that these properties were misappropriated by his son before he got through to his grandchildren.
The point is that he now has a big family, and the old man's legacy is not enough.
Li Tianming secretly complained that the old man's small peasant thinking was too serious, and he only wanted to live a small life, and he didn't have a big plan in life. You have the ability to open the eyes of the sky, why didn't you dig a few more tombs at the beginning, and there are only a few tombs left, so that you are now overstretched, according to the current pounding method, it will soon be hollowed out.
Now that his subordinates have to support so many people, how can they just rely on the income of walking the streets and alleys for food? How long will it take to save up little by little? I still have so many dreams that have not been realized. Seeing that his career had just improved, he was suddenly tied up again.
He decided to throw the puzzle to the faucet. According to the previous agreement, tomorrow is the day to meet with the leader to deliver the goods.
If you can't solve this matter, then I can justifiably reduce the "tribute" in the future.
The next day, Li Tianming came to the county hotel early. After patrolling the surroundings and observing for a long time, I entered the hotel room after confirming that there was no possible situation.
This room had been opened two days ago.
Every time I received a "receipt" notice, Li Tianming arranged the meeting place. He would leave a mark in the bustling area in the center of the county, and the people sent by the dragon head would see the mark and then find the delivery location arranged by Li Tianming.
This complex process was conceived by Li Tianming, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is always right to be careful in everything. Although there is a lot of overhead, Li Tianming believes that such caution is necessary, and now the white and black roads must be guarded against, and life is more important than money.
Since this dragon head has been in contact with him twice, the dragon has not seen the end, and each time he will send a different person to deliver the goods to him, sometimes it is a buyer, sometimes it is a middleman, Uncle Li has also tested the tone of these people several times, but these people have a very tight mouth, rarely mention the matter of the dragon's head, even when mentioning the word dragon, the expression is very respectful.
Dawn sat in the room for a while, and there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.
Knock knock, knock knock, knock.
Li Tianming opened the door and came in a middle-aged man in a tunic with a white face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
Dawn dragged a bag of things from under the bed and placed them on the bed.
"That's all?" The visitor looked at Li Tianming standing still and asked a little disbelievingly.
Compared with the previous transaction, this time the goods are less than a little bit.
"Well, something is wrong," Li Tianming nodded sadly.
Of course, he won't be honest and say that most of the goods were sold by him privately.
"I've been in trouble lately, and someone is looking for trouble......"
The middle-aged man waved his hand, obviously not interested in Li Tianming's private affairs.
The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the "hidden weapon" brought by Li Tianming.
"This is an ancient tomb in the Tang Dynasty, but this, this bamboo slip, why is there only half of it? And this jade silk, how did it break from the middle? You're also a veteran, how could you do such an unprofessional thing? The middle-aged man's tone was full of blame.
This person also seems to be an expert, and he can see at a glance that the fractures on the bamboo slips and jade silk are new, and they should have been destroyed when they were shipped.
"And this Tang green glaze three-color furnace bottle, it stands to reason that it should be a pair, why is there only one? What about the other one? ā
The middle-aged man looked up at Li Tianming, who was silent, and his eyes behind the lenses were full of doubts.
Looking at the interrogating eyes of the middle-aged man, Uncle Li coughed twice and brought out the set of arguments that had been prepared a long time ago.
"When we shipped, we met a powerful peer, who ate us blackmail, not only detained our people, but also took half of the goods away......"
It turned out that these remnants of the Tang Tomb were all the handwriting of Li Ergou.
This Li Ergou is also acting perversely, obviously disgusting Li Tianming. If it is said that things are divided in half, it is really "half divided".
Pairs of bottles are one on one side, one and a half catties of bamboo slips are pounds, and pieces of jade silk are cut in half with a knife...... Of course, Li Ergou will not get along with money, he splits all the things that are worthless in his opinion. There are still a lot of goods that are still in good condition, but they were all taken by Uncle Li to trade with Luoyang brokers.
The middle-aged man shook his head again and again, "It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a tyrannical thing, what's the origin of this Li Ergou?" ā
At that moment, Li Tianming described Li Ergou's situation to the middle-aged man.
At the end, he shook his head and sighed: "These people are clearly bandits, how do they know what tomb robbing is?" What kind of cultural relics do they care...... So many things were broken by them. You don't know how barbaric they are in private, everything they can't move is smashed, and all the good coffins are split......"
Li Tianming described the tomb robbery world as chaotic, as if he was a serious person.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was silent, Li Tianming touched his conscience and said bitterly: "I feel distressed to think that so many precious cultural relics have been ruined by clumsy tomb robbers!" ā
The middle-aged man looked at the broken and broken silk on the bed, and frowned.
Li Tianming observed his words and continued: "In addition to Li Ergou's gang, several tomb robber families in Bishan, including Luoyang, are also in a situation of resurgence, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. ā
The middle-aged man touched his chin thoughtfully, but still didn't speak.
Uncle Li hesitated: "We also lost a lot of money this time to rob the tomb, there are two afterlife eyes that have been abolished, I, as the boss, can't leave them alone, I have to take care of them for a lifetime in the future, they are old and young, and the cost of this big family can be huge." ā
In fact, the old people in Xiao Wu and Niu Er's family are already dead, and they themselves are also singles, the kind where one person feeds the whole family and does not starve. In fact, Uncle Li wants to win sympathy, strive for more compensation, and increase the pity on the dragon's side by the way.
What he can't tell now is what the relationship between this middle-aged man and the dragon head is, if he is just a buyer, then his acting skills will be in vain.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's nature, that's nature, the brothers have worked hard, and now they are disabled because of the treasure hunt, and the future still has to be arranged." En, I know, I'll go back and report the situation to the leader - don't do it again recently, stop for two months. ā
Uncle Li was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, so he sent Lao Tzu away with just one sentence? How about you give some money on the spot or something, how can you be convinced by such a perfunctory thing, I still have dozens of people waiting to eat.
Seeing the middle-aged man carefully wrapping things together, he turned around and wanted to leave. Uncle Li asked reluctantly: "Li Ergou, they have guns, I can't keep letting him ride on my head like this, if you can't help, then, then I'll follow him and report him, saying that he has guns and ammunition privately......"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned around and said in a stern tone: "You are also a person who is a fool of the road, why don't you even understand this truth?" If the public family is involved, it will not be their family's business, and even you yourself will be implicated! ā
"Don't act rashly, wait for the faucet to notice!"
The middle-aged man left a sentence, turned around and hurried away.
Li Tianming looked at the back of the middle-aged man leaving, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"How could I not understand this? I'm just testing you. If you can solve this problem, that's the best. If it can't be solved, it means that the power of the leader is nothing more than that, then I will pull it out openly and alone in the future, and you can't help me. ā
After coming back, Li Tianming first told his subordinates not to go out and walk around for a while, and everyone stayed in the stronghold honestly.
Although he left all his work and business behind, Li Tianming's mind did not rest, and he took advantage of this free time, he sorted out the situation in his heart several times, and the more he thought about it, the clearer it became in his heart.
The dragon head should be unreliable, even if you have a lot of power, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the power on the side of the mountain is complicated, I'm afraid you can't stretch out your dragon head no matter how long you are.
You asked me not to act rashly, because I was afraid that something would cause trouble and pull you out, right?
Hmph, my dawn is not as simple as you think. It's just pretending to be pitiful in front of you.
Li Ergou is powerful, but he is old after all, Lao Tzu first used the strategy of delaying the army, and dealt with him on the surface. Wait for the full wings to settle accounts with him.
The cooperation with the Luoyang broker is very promising at present, and after the batch of goods from the Tang Tomb was handed over to him, the person was full of praise, and gave himself a large deposit on the spot, which was really a big deal, and the income was much higher than that obtained from walking the streets and alleys to exchange things.
With this batch of funds at the bottom, Li Tianming can do a lot of things.
Dawn decided to continue the cause of tomb robbing, but before he could expand his business, he first had to arm his men. In these years, tomb robbing is not as simple as strength, but comprehensive strength.
If you want to rob the tomb, you have to deal with the competing peers, now these tomb robbing families have hard guys in their hands, this time they have suffered the loss of Li Ergou, and other families may also compete to follow suit against themselves, although there are many people, but there is no use for being gunned.
In the troubled times of the past few years, there are a lot of weapons scattered among the villagers, and it is not difficult to do a few, it seems that you have to tell Jin Zi to hurry up and do something, and when others divide the territory, it will be even more difficult to do things by yourself!
But Li Tianming's wishful thinking still failed, and half a month later, he dismissed his idea of going out alone.
The Luoyang broker died.
Something happened to Li Ergou's family!
