Chapter 248: The Jianghu Man Who Wants Money and Doesn't Want His Life (2)
Rumors are just rumors, just like now, everything is unknown, whether it is victory or rout, it is in the future tense. Bayi Middle School?? Wenwang?? ? ≥=≠.≤8≥1≤Z≤≥.≤C≤O≠M
"Buzz, buzz—" The phone in Lianchengbi's pocket vibrate.
She slept deeply and was not awakened.
At this time, no bad news is good news.
The food on the table next to it is cold, you can go back to the pot to heat it up. I always felt like I was waiting for something, but I couldn't say it for sure.
At this moment, I carried the physical weight and spiritual sustenance of Lianchengbi on my shoulders, and I could only sit quietly and wait for her to wake up.
I also know that on the other side of the underground corridor, the foreman surnamed Wan is leading the group of workers to rush forward in full swing, working hard for the bounty of Lianchengbi.
"Garden Nightmare" said that the world is a dynamic exhibition, and it will never stop for someone. Whoever waits will miss out. In other words, even if Lian Chengbi and I spend an afternoon in the Liunaixi Pavilion today, it will not affect the progress of some things in the outside world.
With a bang, the sliding door at the door of the restaurant opened, and a man with a hunched back walked in by the wall, turned to the right-hand side, and sat at the table in front of the window.
I lowered my head, not wanting to be noticed.
The waitress walked over and greeted the man courteously.
"A glass of water, wait for someone. The man said.
From the way he dressed, I could tell that he was living in poverty.
The waitress quickly brought the water and then stepped back.
The man looked up to the north, and the spire of the church, the roses on the façade of Peking University, the sports equipment and skateboarding teenagers in the square...... Everything is in sight, nothing is missing.
"Fate, fate, is like a huge roulette wheel, once it is turned, there is no room for retreat. He suddenly said something very philosophical and my heart moved.
Coincidentally, the other party's phone rang as well.
He answered the phone: "Lao Wan, it's me, I've arrived at the Liunaixi restaurant opposite the church, when are you coming?"
I was taken aback, if the Lao Wan in the other party's mouth was the foreman Master Wan, we would be in big trouble. ”
"I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, don't say three hours, even thirty hours, I'll wait for you. With that, the man hung up.
From his words, it was clear that the man surnamed Wan would not arrive in three hours.
I hope this is not a coincidence, because the surname Wan is for King Qin's work, and if the secret is revealed, then King Qin's secret operations in the tunnels under the church will be exposed.
Only ten minutes later, a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed very well, appeared in front of the window of the restaurant and raised his hand to greet the first man through the glass.
I can see that the later middle-aged man is Zhang Yun, the boss in the Jinan folk circle.
Luckily, I know him, he doesn't know me. When he came in, I didn't need to hide it at all, I just closed my eyes and recuperated.
"Old Sun, you arrived early? Forgive your sins, there is a bit of a traffic jam on the road. Zhang Yun entered the door and apologized to the man who came early.
The man responded: "Lao Zhang, what forgives sins and doesn't forgive sins, old brothers, and still say such extraneous things?"
The two shook hands and sat down, beckoned the waiter to come over, and each asked for a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and a plate of mixed shreds.
I noticed that Zhang Yun's spirit was a little nervous, and when he talked to the surnamed Sun, he kept twitching his left cheek, which was a precursor to allergies or strokes.
"The person I made an appointment said that I would arrive in three hours, and we would have a good chat with each other while I was free. The surname Sun said.
Zhang Yun looked around the room, and I had already turned my head to look at Lian Chengbi in my sleep, while paying attention to the movements of the two of them out of the corner of my eye.
"Okay. Zhang Yun didn't know me, probably because he regarded me as a passerby, and he was not threatening, so when he spoke next, it had become much more natural, "Huazi, is this person reliable or not?"
The surnamed Sun laughed: "That's for sure, Lao Wan is from the same village as me, and they are all from Lao Zhonggong." The people of our Yuntai Village are the most united, and they are all connected here in Jinan. ”
"That's good, this matter is confidential, if it gets out, Bai Daoguan doesn't know it, just those big guys on the rivers and lakes are enough for me to drink a pot. Money has to be earned, but life has to be wanted, right?" Zhang Yun said.
The surnamed Sun nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Lao Zhang, if you don't say that you are a person in this industry, you know everything, you are cunning - no, no, it's wrong, it's the old horse who knows the way, the old horse knows the way, hehehehe......"
I listened quietly, and guessed what the two of them were going to plot.
Folklore experts like Zhang Yun are not only digging folk culture, inheriting the ancient style of Jinan and other high-sounding things, once there is a good opportunity, he also has to make a profit, first fatten his own pocket. Therefore, knowledge is his capital, and outsiders ask him to help, but they also take a fancy to the things in his head.
"Three hours...... Let's talk about it, Lao Sun, what do you think? If you really make up good things, what are you going to do with it? When will I be able to give my commission?" Zhang Yun got straight to the point.
The surnamed Sun replied with a smile: "Friends on the road in Zibo, Weifang, Qingdao, Yantai, and Weihai have been contacted, as long as it is a good thing, take the goods on the same day, and settle the bill on the same day." Their belly volume is very large, from tens of thousands to tens of millions of goods with a unit price, and how many are needed. Several of them are family businesses that play tomb robbery, with accurate vision and reputation. Do you know about the theft of the champion scroll of the Qingzhou Museum in the past? It was the people of this family who received the goods. For that case, the world lost millions in vain, and he didn't frown. You said Lao Zhang, what are we afraid of when we meet such a big man? Your share, I will give it on the day I collect the money, two into five, a lot of points, how about it? Interesting, right?"
I have seen the "Champion Scroll Theft Case" in the Qingzhou Museum, which was done by a security captain named Lin Chuntao single-handedly, which was a sensation, but it was a failure.
"Do they know Taozi?" asked Zhang Yun.
The surnamed Sun nodded: "Yes, that can't be fake." Lao Zhang, why did I mention the case of the champion scroll? It is because Taozi is your junior, and I also know that you went to the Qingzhou Museum to secretly estimate the market price of the champion scroll. Without your mouth, Taozi has no bottom in his heart, can he move the treasure of the town hall? I mention Taozi, just to let you rest assured, no one gave you back then, this vote is reliable, and the reputation on the road is strong. We can't afford to lose when we work with them. ”
Zhang Yun's face changed color, and he picked up the water cup to drink.
I have read some information, when Lin Chuntao was arrested, he carried all the catastrophes by himself, and did not bite out anyone. Therefore, although the theft of the national treasure was sensational, there were very few people who were implicated and ate bullets in the end, which can be regarded as a special case in the theft of cultural relics.
Now, the surname Sun has lifted the bottom of Zhang Yun, which gives me a more intuitive understanding of this "folklore expert".
"Huazi, are you going to blackmail me?" After a long time, Zhang Yun spoke again.
The surname Sun patted his chest: "Is my Sun Huazi that kind of person? Lao Zhang, you don't look at people through the cracks of the door, and you look down on people." You are my friend, there is no benefit, why should I pull you into the gang? Yes, I think of my brother first, and you have a mouth is a two-and-a-half percent, do I not say a word? Lao Zhang, the road is facing the sky, go with you, if you think that there is a pit here, think that my Sun Huazi is not authentic, open the door and leave, no one will stop you, and I will never mention the three words of the champion volume in front of outsiders. ”
The two of them didn't talk speculatively, and they suddenly became cold.
Lianchengbi on my shoulder moved slightly, and should have been woken up, but she still pretended to be asleep, motionless.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Yun put down the cup and said in an astringent voice: "Huazi, do you know? I promised you to come, not for money. Money is a good thing, everyone loves money, I also need money, people are old, they have to save some money to prevent old age. But my industry is a clear water yamen, there is no place to make money, so far I have zero deposits in the bank account except for the small house on Baohua Street. I want money, if you think two and a half is too high, let's discuss it again, cut off the head and tail, and give me a million. Listen to me, the main purpose of my visit is to see what is under the ground of our Jinan City, whether it is a dragon or a ghost, I have to figure it out, and when I die, I can close my eyes with peace of mind. ”
At the end of the sentence, Zhang Yun is tantamount to recalling the old incident of Min Ziqian's tomb more than ten years ago.
I silently replied to him in my heart: "It must be a dragon, not a ghost." ”
"You said that earlier, wouldn't we be able to speak calmly?" replied surnamed Sun.
I remember that this person whose full name is "Sun Huazi" is a very famous scoundrel in the Quanfuqiao area of Jinan City, who has been in and out of prison more than a dozen times, and even people on Baidao feel a headache when they mention him.
Zhang Yun is a cultural person and an expert in folklore, and it is really surprising that he can talk about "treasure theft" with a scoundrel like Sun Huazi.
"Yes, if you said that, the old brothers wouldn't have turned their faces. Zhang Yun sighed.
It was nearly evening, and the number of outsiders in the restaurant gradually increased.
Zhang Yun raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's been more than an hour, do you want to stop calling to urge?"
Sun Huazi shook his head: "Don't rush, he works in the tunnel under the church, and he can't be heard on the phone." Lao Wan knew in his heart, and he said that three hours is three hours. He also said that the tunnel can be opened with more than three meters, which is a matter of more than a dozen blast holes. We will definitely be able to get through tonight, let's go in the first batch, get some good things first, and wait for those fools from Shaanxi to eat and drink!hahahaha......"
My heart was completely cold, it was obvious that Master Wan, the seemingly honest and honest foreman, had too many ghost eyes in private, and he had deceived me and Lian Chengbi.
"You're from Shaanxi? Are you saying that those people hired people to dig tunnels are Lao Shaanxi? Isn't it? Lao Shaanxi is a den of tomb robbers, all of whom are experts in digging graves and digging pits, so they can hire Jinan people to work here?" Zhang Yun became suspicious.
Sun Huazi replied: "Lao Wan said, the underground is full of rock formations, and if Lao Shaanxi does it himself, the procedures for transporting explosives and firing guns are too complicated and the cost is high." They hire local good people to work, the construction period is short, and they can also be the shopkeeper, and when the time comes, the inspection will be paid. ”
The foreman, surnamed Wan, told us that it would take at least 30 to 48 hours to chisel through the rock formations and enter the old troop road. However, the reality is that it can be completed in a few hours at a distance of three meters.
I'm really glad that I chose the restaurant of Liunaixi, otherwise King Qin, Lian Chengbi and others would have been sold by the foreman surnamed Wan, and I would have to be grateful to help him count the money.
The people of the whole country know that Shandong people are honest and honest, but who can guess that after the reform and opening up, some Shandong people have long been wet in the face of the torrent of money, and have become as cunning and eccentric and resourceful as Lao Guang, Chaoshan Yankees, and Hubei Yankees.
"Good. Zhang Yun gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously.
Sun Huazi patted Zhang Yun on the shoulder: "Lao Zhang, this time it must be, I wish us a victory, success, replace wine with water, and have a toast!"
The two of them raised their water glasses and touched them, and each drank it all.
Sun Huazi took a deep breath, swept around the store, suddenly approached Zhang Yun's ear, and asked in an overwhelmed voice: "Lao Zhang, you used to post an article in the Qilu Evening News, saying that the old government once built 9981 troop transportation roads under Jinan, and the ground and underground were connected, claiming to build Jinan City as solid as gold, and the shells could not be bombed, and the planes could not be bombed, is this true or false?"
Zhang Yun nodded: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, go to the Provincial Archives Bureau to check the confidential documents of the old government, which will be accompanied by a Jinan city defense map every month, all of which are hand-drawn on four large sheets of paper." Even today, the military science and structural rationality of these city defense maps are absolutely first-class, because after all, they were personally arranged by American experts and Japanese war criminals for the old government. To tell the truth, in the battle of the city breaker back then, Wang Yaowu's defeat was really providence, destiny, and fortune, otherwise, I don't know how long it would be a stalemate——"
There is so much to say about the war history of Jinan City, almost any old man, old cadre, and folk historian can tell a meridian.
That was not the point that Sun Huazi wanted to listen to, and he interrupted Zhang Yun's words in time: "Lao Zhang, I mean, isn't it all bullets and explosives hidden in the 9981st troop transportation road? There is always some real money, right? History clearly remembers that when Wang Yaowu was arrested, he only had a gun, a horse, and a guard by his side, and he didn't even have a decent suitcase. Do you think there's a gold brick hidden underneath?"
Zhang Yun immediately nodded: "Of course, Jinan is a big city in the Central Plains, and Shandong is a rich and rich province in North China, which is an important source of tax revenue for the old government. Therefore, the institutions at all levels stationed in Shandong by the old government must have been rich, and the rich people did not know how much gold treasure they left behind when they fled. A few days ago, there was a news in Shandong Business Daily - on the demolition site of the high-tech zone, there are 20 iron boxes buried under an old house. It's a pity, it's a pity, the old house has no owner, and the money goes to the government. ”
Sun Huazi slapped his hands on the table: "Okay, okay, in that case, our brothers will have a good fortune! I mean, after opening the tunnel tonight, I won't notify anyone, just you, me, and Lao Wan will go in, and take whatever you see, and fill your waist first." ”
At the mention of gold, Sun Huazi's eyes radiated two shining thief lights.
There is no doubt that the ownerless treasure, of course, is owned by the government. Only those who are carried away by the dream of wealth will fight this kind of ghost idea.
Sun Huazi is just a scoundrel with no ink, but Zhang Gong is an expert in folklore, and acting like this can really be regarded as extremely obscene, and he is blind to the ink in his stomach.
I listened coldly, as if I saw two people arranging things for themselves. It's just that they were always in high spirits when they did this, and their eyes were fascinated by the unwarranted treasures of gold and silver.
"Lao Zhang, it's still early, why don't we ask for a few dishes, get a bottle of wine, and wait while drinking?" Sun Huazi suggested.
The two hit it off, then ordered, and asked for two small bottles of Red Star Erguotou on the counter, and drank it mouth-to-mouth.
"I don't know what I can do, and I'm not far from death. "I feel sorry for them, but I don't have the idea of persuasion.
Now, no one knows what's in the old road of transport, and if there are really gold bricks, then I will delay people's windfalls.
