Huo Xiuxiu was a little surprised: "Do you know about this? ”

The stuffy oil bottle shook his head, leaning against the corner and looking out the window at the shadow of the creeper, the moonlight shining mottled on his face, very pale.

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

The stuffy oil bottle said lightly: "The inevitability of history." ”

Huo Xiuxiu looked at me, probably not used to this attitude of the stuffy oil bottle, I actually wanted to say that if he could talk to you, it would be considered to give you face, he leaned there just now, I thought he was not listening at all.

However, I understand the meaning of the stuffy oil bottle, when the money reaches a certain amount, it makes no sense to increase it or not, if it is the largest tomb robbery in history, the motive is still for money, then it can be regarded as the sorrow of our industry, there are still many things in the world that are more valuable than money. Isn't it a legend that there were two big bosses who bombarded each other's ancestral graves in order to grab the country?

The inevitability of history, the world's largest conspiracy, the biggest war, and everything the biggest, there is always some "inevitability" behind it. I just don't know why he suddenly sighed.

I explained it a little, and Huo Xiuxiu thought about it and understood: "You men are more sensitive to this kind of thing than us women, and we girls don't have any sense of historical necessity." ”

I told her to keep talking and not waste time. She took a sip of soju and continued.

Jin Wantang participated in this "largest deal in history", because of his eyesight, in that era, in the miscellaneous academic circles in Beijing, he was a well-known eye poison and know-it-all, from Hademen's cigarette box to a woman's belly pocket, there is no one he is not an expert, it is said that his father was a pawnshop at the age of six, a big pilgrimage at the age of seventeen, and worked as a framing worker in a factory after liberation, and was poor until he died without leaving anything to Lao Jin, but in daily life, through countless bits and pieces of life, from small to large, His father deliberately taught him all kinds of skills in appreciating the eight masterpieces of calligraphy and painting, jade, copper, embroidery, wood and porcelain. In his own words, he spent all the time in the first half of his life to achieve a kind of unity with antiques.

Therefore, in the early 60s of the 20th century, the moment he was pulled into the Liuli Factory to play, he found that this depressed old alley was all treasures.

So he started with a pair of fiery eyes from two yuan, Jin Wantang started with a few old books, two yuan became three, three yuan earned five yuan, within two years, no one thought that he would be able to rely on old books one by one in such a depressed collection market, turning over to a net worth of 10,000 yuan, and his skills in the category of ancient books and ancient books have also entered the realm.

Of course, he made money, and the office also appeared to "do it" - to crack down on speculation, but fortunately, Jin Wantang inherited his father's extremely cautious character, and stopped it in time, and the net worth of 10,000 yuan was never discovered.

However, the business could not be done, but the reputation of the people remained, and soon the reputation was out, and foreigners also came to find it, and there began to be large institutions, big families, and university research institutes, and asked him to do evaluation and appraisal, and the scenery was unlimited for a while. That big deal came at the most proud time of his life.

The leader was the Huo family, and at that time, the Huo family and him had been in a cooperative relationship for a while, and he didn't think of anything unusual, so he readily agreed.

According to his later recollections, 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 those involved but did not actually go to the ground, such as collecting materials and buying equipment, it was estimated that there were thousands of people.

However, these are not enough to highlight the particularity of this transaction, and the reason why Jin Wantang thinks that this transaction must be very special is because the leader of this transaction is very unusual, this is not a unique transaction, and there are many people involved, it is said that there are nine people in total.

When I heard this, I chuckled in my heart. And Huo Xiuxiu is like a skilled storyteller, pausing here and revealing an expression of "You have thought of it too".

I rubbed my face and said, "Impossible, right?" ”

Xiuxiu said: "I didn't believe it at first, but the facts are obvious. ”

Nine people, I naturally immediately thought of Lao Jiumen, but Lao Jiumen is not an organization, it is just a code name given to them by other people on the rivers and lakes, it is extremely loose, and it is not planned by any marketing company, so the possibility of them doing one thing at the same time is low to almost none.

To give an example, the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and Jesus Christ are known as the three major religious leaders, but they have their own lineages, and it is reasonable for the Buddha to gather Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Eighteen Arhats to fight, but it is impossible for the Buddha, the Jade Emperor, and Jesus to fight together.

Although the difference between the various factions in the old nine gates is actually different, although the difference between them is not as obvious as that of Jesus and Rulai, but it is also a matter of clear gullies in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible for the nine gates to join forces in fact.

But I can think of the only most extreme possibility, which was a small but absolute possibility at that time. That is: there is a strong outsider who intervenes in this matter.

For example, a warlord in a Hong Kong and Taiwan film heard that the four famous actors were very powerful, so he said that they all called me, but the four famous actors originally sang with their own characteristics, and they all sang the horns. Maybe there is also an outsider who said that he heard that Lao Jiumen is very powerful, and he summoned all of them for me.

However, Lao Jiumen was scattered all over the place, and some people were wandering at all, as the saying goes, you can't suppress beggars, and outsiders want to gather together, I'm afraid there will still be people who don't buy it.

Huo Xiuxiu nodded and said: "I was very surprised to hear this, no one in the rivers and lakes may have the opportunity to know that the famous but disputed Admiral of Changsha Jiumen would have such an unprecedented alliance." I also agree with your analysis, there must be a foreign force naming names, otherwise, it would not be possible to have such a strange situation, however, the doubt you said is not valid, because that foreign force, there must be a spokesperson in the old nine gates, this spokesperson carried out the work of the lama, I just don't know, who will be the person who will be the lama, so that this group of local overlords can be willing to become the lamas who are trapped, and obediently all sit together to cooperate? ”

I said in my heart that it must be impossible to verify it now, but in the 60s of the 20th century, there were indeed people in the old nine doors who could have this qualification. That is the boss of the Nine Gates: Zhang Da Buddha.

I don't know if Zhang Da Buddha was still alive at that time, because he is a few generations different from the people below, if it is not him, it may also be the descendant of Zhang Da Buddha.

I was a little unfortunate that my grandfather didn't tell me about it, and he didn't record anything of it in his notes. 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?

However, because of the difference in generations, there has been a big difference between the old nine doors and before the liberation, the new generation became famous early, such as my grandfather and the grandmother of the Huo family are still in the prime of life, because of the impact of liberation, everyone's situation is different, these people gathered together, I don't know how much energy was spent, the black-backed sixth at that time was already asking for food, some people were very old, not suitable for long journeys, so they were replaced by the next generation, so I can foresee that this team, seniority, experience and physical strength are uneven, at the beginning, The hidden danger of disaster has been planted. ”

It was the meeting of 1962 and 1963, a huge horse team quietly drove into the mountains of Sichuan, Jin Wantang left Beijing tremblingly, and was also in the horse team, the horse team was old and young, all kinds of people and other fish and dragons were mixed, and the old nine sects were divided into gangs and factions, and the boundaries were clear.
