Chapter 30: Murder and Silence
I had never felt so good with the night breeze blowing on my face and breathing in the fresh air, and I poked my head out to find that now we were on the cliff of the northern peak of Beibi Mountain, and Ji Qu had taken great pains to leave the way to retreat here, and it was impossible to find it when it was inaccessible.
Tian Ji and Gong Jue pulled my body, I saw in the weeds of the mountain rock that was dug a stone trough that could be climbed, Tian Ji tied a rope to climb to the top of the mountain first, and then pulled us up, just left the passage on the hanging wall, with a dull roar, the passage completely collapsed, and I felt that the whole mountain shook with it, presumably the ancient tomb could never see the light of day again.
The three of us were lying in the grass on the top of the mountain, paralyzed without the slightest strength, panting for breath and no one spoke, and suddenly the three of us laughed together, with a kind of relief for the rest of our lives.
The Suihou Zhu in the hand of the palace lord was completely dim, he handed it to me, I held it up in front of my eyes and looked at this magical bead through the moonlight, I was not surprised by the unbelievable ability of the Suihou Zhu, I was very curious about where this bead came from.
…… Outside the south gate, a platform was built to worship, and the generals and officers were named the kings of Sanqi.
Tian Ji lay on his back in the grass, holding Jin Jianwei in both hands, got carried away and opened his throat and roared in a high-pitched Qin dialect, then knocked Jin Jianwei with his fingers and said: "Don't think about this bead, or this thing is real, go back and find a place to sell it, and the three of us have a good meal." ”
"Life doesn't bring things that death doesn't take away, look at you, come, that Qin accent just now is good, and then shout a little more." I put it away and smiled lazily with Hou Zhu.
Tian Ji nodded, and just as he was about to speak, we heard movement and shaking light in the grass behind us, and when we sat up from the ground, we saw Liu Tian and seven or eight black-clothed people coming out, counting the time, we have been in the ancient tomb for two days.
"What about the others?" Liu Tian looked surprised.
"It's all buried in the grave." The palace lord replied.
"How did you get out?" Liu Tian estimated that he didn't expect more than 20 people to go in, so the three of us came out.
"I don't deserve to die." Tian Ji saw that the weather was not good for Liu.
The man in black asked us to follow to see the gold lord, the two days were full of danger and exhaustion, I forgot about revenge, and when I heard that the gold lord had also arrived, I immediately stood up and let the man in black lead the way.
We followed behind, I lowered my voice and asked Tian Ji to give me the dagger, he should know what I was going to do, I refused to take it out for a long time, I glared at him, pulled him alive and grabbed the dagger and hid it behind my waist.
"When I see the gold lord, I will let you go first, and after leaving, I will go to see Ye Jiuqing and tell ...... about the tomb."
"I am following you to make a fortune, not with a letter, you have to say it yourself." The field chicken picked up a stone on the ground and sang it in his pocket to interrupt me. "Come and go, you said it yourself."
"Elm pimple." I scolded, turned my head and lowered my voice to say to the palace lord.
Before I could speak, the palace lord didn't even look at me: "I said, I have to follow you before you die, this is what my master meant." ”
I know that they won't listen to anything they say now, so I will really risk my life if I really use a dagger, but the two of them are afraid that they will be implicated.
Following the man in black to the meeting place at the bottom of the mountain, I saw the car again, and a man with his back outside the car was smoking, a man in black quickly walked up to him, whispered a few words, the light of the fire in the night outlined the man's side face, and then slowly turned his head to look at us.
The man was about thirty years old, with a pair of tiger and wolf eyes, sharp and cunning eyes, revealing bursts of coldness, and his expression was cold and arrogant.
I will never forget this face, he was one of the three people who came to my father ten years ago, and it was he who shot my father, and I shook my fingers and slowly clenched my fists with righteous indignation.
"My name is Han Jin, you can bring things out." He walked over, his words were very short, and he never dragged his feet in the mud, in the minds of such people, the result is always more important than the process, and such a person also believes that doing things is more useful than talking.
I finally knew the name of the enemy, and the proximity was so close that I was defenseless, and with the distance between me and him, I was sure that I could strike a blow and plunge the dagger into the vital point of his chest.
"You are not the owner of the money, the three of us brothers tried our lives to escape, and we didn't see the owner of the money and didn't deliver the goods." It's easy to kill him, but judging from the situation back then, the real mastermind was not Han Jin.
"How do you know I'm not the gold lord?" Zhang Jin asked rhetorically.
"The gold lord who gave me the yellow stripe that night was not your voice." I improvised so that the other person wouldn't notice. "It's not that there are black things in this circle, my brothers have all given up their lives, it's nothing more than asking for money, and seeing that the owner will deliver the goods."
"If you want to see the gold owner, you have to see if you have enough weight." Han Jin didn't deny it, took a puff of cigarette and said casually.
I understand what he means, the seer of the gold lord will light up the bottom first, and see what goods we bring out from the ancient tomb, I nodded at Tian Ji, he took out the gold jaws wrapped in clothes, and Liu Tian next to him saw that the eyes of this thing were straight, probably regretting not going in, turned on the flashlight and shone it on the golden eyes, and knocked it with his hand with a greedy face.
"Solid, this is ten pounds!"
"Is this stuff enough?" I ignored Liu Tian and looked directly at Han Jin and asked.
Han Jin put the cigarette in his mouth and glanced at the golden eye, a thousand-year-old gold object, and a pure gold object weighing ten catties, he just glanced at it, and his gaze didn't even stay on it for the slightest, but looked me up and down, and smiled coldly with the ashes.
"It is said that Ye Jiuqing is Ye Jiufeng, he is a thief phoenix without treasure, the old fox will send a little fox if he doesn't show up, Ye Jiuqing is also a person who has seen the world, go in the twentieth person, come out of the three of you, it can be regarded as nine deaths, just take out a gold artifact...... In other words, the lives of the three of you are worth ten catties of gold together? You take this thing and ask me if it is enough, and you are not afraid of losing Ye Jiuqing's face? ”
I was stunned, we have been hiding our identities, and no one knows about my relationship with Ye Jiuqing, but Han Jin actually said it, and I suddenly realized one thing, at that time, I handed over the exploration shovel with shellfish, and it stands to reason that I can open the tomb the next day, but the gold lord arranged it three days later.
I originally thought that the gold lord was going to prepare for planning, but now it seems that the gold lord spent three days to touch our bottom, and only three days can find out the relationship between me and Ye Jiuqing, what is the origin of this group of people, there is a feeling that they can cover the sky with one hand.
The people in the tomb robbery business all know Ye Jiuqing's methods, whether in person or behind his back, no one has ever dared to call him by name, and the group of people with mysterious backgrounds in front of them don't seem to take Ye Jiuqing in their eyes at all.
More than ten catties of gold are not worth mentioning in Han Jin's eyes, it is obvious that the purpose of this group of people is not to come for money, I know very well what the gold owner is looking for, I subconsciously touched the Suihou Zhu on my body, this small action did not escape Han Jin's eyes.
"It seems that you didn't understand what the gold owner said before, it doesn't matter, I'll tell you again, the first is the reward and punishment, the second is to say one or the other, the former means that you have received the money from the gold owner, you have to do what you should do, the gold owner packs the pit, and the goods have to be returned to the gold owner, if you entrainment and hide the private pockets, this Beibi Mountain is a good place to bury people, although there is no idle soil, but I can guarantee that you can find a vacant land for the three of you." Han Jin poked my chest with his finger to hold the cigarette and said word by word, and then continued to take a puff of cigarette, his voice a little soothing. "If you want to see the gold owner, you have to show some sincerity, do you have anything to forget......
Han Jin's eyes fell meaningfully on the place I subconsciously touched just now, looking at the situation, it is impossible to hide Sui Hou Zhu, even if I kill him now, it will be useless, and the mastermind behind the scenes will still get away with it.
"This is the most valuable gold object, and there is one other thing, but it is not a precious thing." The palace lord walked up and took the words, and then took out the Suihou bead from my coat pocket. "It's just a broken bead, and there are really no others, just remember to run for your life, and you don't have time to bring things out."
Gong Jue deliberately said that it didn't matter, because he didn't want Han Jin to notice, when Hou Zhu took it out, I clearly saw Han Jin's hand on the other side shake, and the cigarette ash fell on the back of his hand, it was obvious that he knew what this bead was.
"Whether it's worth it or not is the owner's." Han Jin quickly regained his composure and took out four gold bars and threw them in front of us. "These four gold bars plus the golden eyes are your reward, give me the beads!"
The palace lord pulled the corner of my clothes behind him, it should be a signal to judge the situation and judge the future, don't be rash, I understand what he means, but if I hand over the beads, I am worried that I will miss the enemy, and it will not be so easy to take revenge.
Tian Ji hurriedly picked up the gold bar from the ground, hugged the golden eye to thank Han Jin, turned around and glared at me, and said in my ear: "Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, don't fight hard first, it's not worth taking your life today." ”
I took a deep breath, took the Sui Zhu from Gong Jue's hand and looked at it for a moment, then looked up and looked at Han Jin.
"Don't lie in front of real people, don't hide it, who is the owner of the tomb in the ancient tomb, you must also know, our brother three took the fate to get this Suihou Zhu, one of the two treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period, you use four yellow strips and a dozen catties of Jairus to send us, it is inevitable that it is a little unauthentic, not to mention that according to the rules, such a valuable thing, you have to hand over to the gold owner, you take me to see the gold owner, I will naturally deliver it in person."
"Sui Hou Zhu?!" Liu Tianyi next to him was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his eyes were as big as copper bells.
After I finished speaking, I shook Suihou Zhu, and there was Luohe River under the mountain, I believe that Han Jin understood what I meant, and if I didn't agree, I would throw Suizhu into Luohe.
"You know this is Suihou Zhu...... That's interesting. Han Jin's expression was a little weird, and after throwing away the cigarette butt and stepping on it, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
I can't understand his smile, but I can't understand his fast movements, Han Jin threw a cigarette butt to shoot it was a matter of a moment, after a gunshot, Liu Tian's eyebrows had an extra hole, he fell straight to the ground, we looked at Liu Tian's body on the ground in shock, and when we turned around, the muzzles of the seven or eight black-clothed men were already aimed at us.
"I'll tell you what the rules are." Han Jin handed the gun to the person next to him, rekindled a cigarette, took a deep breath and looked at us coldly. "The rules are set by people, here I am the rules, and the rules now are, either you hand over the Suihou Zhu, and I will consider whether to kill you or not, or I will kill you now, and take the Suizhu from your corpse, oh, don't think about throwing the beads into the river, I can assure you, your hand has not been raised, and it is already the same as this person lying on the ground."
