Chapter 272: Middle-aged strong man
At the same time, the lone wolf here, Xiao Qingfeng, Jingxin, Mengshan Turtle, and Little Daoist quickly held an emergency meeting to discuss the specific actions of the next step.
First of all, according to the confession of the middle-aged strong man just now, Lone Wolf gave everyone a detailed introduction to the actual situation of the current serial hole; then, he gave you a concise and clear introduction to the situation of the "Four Ghosts in Guanzhong"; finally, according to the actual situation, he urgently formulated a corresponding action plan.
The main part of this chain cave, as described in the stone carving of the Dusty Daoist earlier, is divided into three levels. Now the position where everyone is the top third floor, which is now mainly used to store some standing items, which is equivalent to the "ordinary warehouse" in the ordinary sense.
Due to the "absolute" security of this place, there are generally no such thing as guards. And the middle-aged strong man Lao Li just now just came up to get something, but his "movement" was too big, and he inadvertently alarmed everyone.
The space of the second layer below is relatively large, more than double the size of the third layer above, and there are about thirty or forty caverns. Some of these caves are used as "finished warehouses", some are used as dormitories, and a few larger ones are used as kitchens and dining rooms, and there are usually no people left behind.
The first floor at the bottom is the largest and currently the most important production building. To everyone's surprise, they didn't know where to transport the machinery and equipment, in which the so-called "handicrafts" were processed.
Of course, it is still because of the "absolute" security in it, and the criminals who are responsible for processing and manufacturing in it are usually not equipped with any weapons.
But, even then, they have a small armory here with a certain amount of weapons stored. Moreover, this small armory has always been personally guarded by a supervisor surnamed Cheng, and it is said that it is manned 24 hours a day. Because this small armory is not only a simple storage of some weapons, but also the general control room of this "craft factory".
And this supervisor surnamed Cheng is short-tempered, and he usually manages everyone strictly, so the workers here don't like him very much. But there are four black-clothed bodyguards by his side, all of whom are said to be hard hands with martial arts, so everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak. On weekdays, all the daily affairs in this chain cave are arranged and managed by the five of them.
For now, in this entire chain hole, except for the supervisor surnamed Cheng and four black-clothed bodyguards, there are only six so-called "old masters" and nine ordinary "coolies" left. Of course, the Lao Li who was captured just now was just an ordinary coolie.
And their really important people, the "Four Ghosts in Guanzhong", they are not in this serial hole on weekdays. Of course, it is naturally impossible for a character of Lao Li's level to know their specific situation, anyway, they are indeed not in the cave now.
In addition, the exit of this chain hole to the outside is indeed the bottom of the reservoir under the Wanzhang Cliff as described by the Yichen Dao people.
It's just that I don't know when, a strong passage has been secretly built under this reservoir, and this passage leads all the way to the bottom of a small hill at the other end of this reservoir.
Finally, in addition to the shaft passage upwards and the passage to the bottom of the reservoir outside, there is also an extremely secret passage in this lowest level. It's just that this passage is located in an inconspicuous small cave in the northwest corner, and the entrance of the cave is locked by a thick steel door all the year round, and only the supervisor surnamed Cheng has the key.
None of the workers knew what the tunnel was really for, and it was speculated that it was likely to be an alternate escape route, but nothing was known about what it was.
Of course, it has been quiet here for more than ten years, and they don't bother to care. Besides, they are so disciplined that no one dares to inquire about things they shouldn't know.
After telling the general situation here, Lone Wolf introduced the so-called "Four Ghosts in Guanzhong" concisely and clearly, in fact, this is what everyone is most concerned about at present.
It turns out that the "Four Ghosts of Guanzhong" are not local characters in YZ City, but genuine people in the Weihe Plain. It's just that since they have always used so-called nicknames, it is impossible to really determine their true identity.
It is said that the four of them used to run rampant in Guanzhong, and they were really famous in the local "tomb robbery world", but they suddenly disappeared twenty years ago, and they have not heard from them since.
Their boss, known as "Seven Days" by the people of the rivers and lakes, is also called "Big-headed Ghost".
It is said that this person once encountered an accidental landslide when he was digging a tomb in the Tang Dynasty, and he miraculously survived underground for seven days. Not only that, but without any help from an external force, with only his own hands, he dug an escape hole in the ground, and his reputation has since become famous.
In addition, although this person is thin and small, his head is surprisingly big, and he likes to have a big bald head, so he is nicknamed "Big-headed Ghost".
Their second child, known as "Yi Jian Mei" by the people of the rivers and lakes, is also called "Black Heart Ghost".
It is said that this person's light body kung fu is excellent, and he likes to leave a plum blossom after committing the crime, so he is called a cut plum.
It's just that this person is gentle and elegant on the surface, and he is quite a bit elegant, but this person is scheming, sinister and cunning, but he is the number one person among their four brothers. In addition, this guy is ruthless and ruthless, so he is called "black-hearted ghost" on the rivers and lakes.
Their third child, known as "wine dizzy" and "confused ghost" by the people of the rivers and lakes.
It is said that this person is almost a meal without alcohol, and even reached the point of no alcohol and no catering, no wine and no sleep, all day long is drunk, feeling comfortable and enjoyable in the wine jar, so people give the nickname "wine halo".
It is precisely because he is confused and unconscious all day long on the surface that others call him a "fool".
Their fourth child, known as the "Yin and Yang People" and the "Urging Ghost".
It is said that this person because he was a child in one night, witnessed the scene of his parents slashing each other to death, since then cast an indelible shadow on the psyche, since then he has almost never slept soundly in the night, so that later black and white reversed different from ordinary people, so people give the nickname "Yin and Yang Man".
And because of his perverse temperament and ruthless methods, others called him "a ghost".
Among the four brothers, the eldest "Seven Days" is calm and atmospheric, attaches great importance to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and squanders money with righteousness, and has a heroic demeanor. The second "one cut plum" is wide on the outside and deep on the inside, resolute and silent, scheming, good at planning, moody and invisible, and does not leak. Although the third "wine dizzy" looks confused all day long, this person is by no means ambiguous, and he is a character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. The fourth "yin and yang person" has a perverse temperament, a short temper, a ruthless heart, and is famous for fighting and not dying.
The master of the four of them is called the "Five Absolute Ghost Hands", and he was originally the head of the famous "Jade Fu Gate" on Guanzhong Road. It is said that this person is proficient in easy learning and Kanyu, especially good at "looking for the dragon" and "fixing the acupoint", "checking the sand", "looking at the water", and "standing direction".
It is rumored that as long as he arrives at a certain place, he doesn't need to do anything at all, just simply stroll around a few times, and he can accurately judge whether there are any ancient tombs underground, so the people in the rivers and lakes are called "five uniques".
Not only that, but this person is also extremely unique
Special skills, that is, good at imitating all kinds of antique cultural relics. Whether it is extremely complex bronze, jade, lacquer, or even ancient calligraphy and painting, he can successfully imitate it in a very short time, and it can almost reach the point of being fake.
Therefore, he is also called "ghost hand" on the rivers and lakes, plus his five stunts, so they are collectively called "five ghost hands". It is said that it is precisely because of this that Jianghu deliberately gave his four disciples another name with the word "ghost", which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance to him.
It's just that as early as twenty years ago, since the "Five Absolute Ghost Hands" died of a violent illness, the four ghosts in their Guanzhong have not heard from each other at the same time.
At that time, some people speculated that they should have "washed their hands of gold" and quit the rivers and lakes, anyway, they had already earned enough money.
Of course, there are also people who speculate that they are "folded" in the hands of the officials, after all, at that time, the country's supervision was getting stronger and stronger, and they were indeed becoming more and more difficult to do.
What's more, some people speculate that they were killed by their former enemies. Perhaps, after the death of their master "Five Absolute Ghost Hands", there was no one to shelter them from the wind and rain, so those enemies earlier also came to the door one after another.
Anyway, in the past twenty years, there has really been no movement of them on the rivers and lakes. Who would have thought that today's "Four Ghosts in Guanzhong" would appear in this place again, which really can't help but be jaw-dropping.
Not only that, according to the confession of the middle-aged strong man Lao Li, the current "Four Ghosts of Guanzhong" not only regard this serial cave as their base camp nest, but also open up this place as a "processing factory" for them to imitate antique cultural toys.
In addition, in the "finished product warehouse" of their second cave, not only a large number of high-quality imitation "handicrafts" are stored. What's more, there are dozens of boxes of genuine products, which are the fruits of their "hard work" from the ground over the years.
It turned out that whether it was the six so-called "masters", or the middle-aged strong man Lao Li and the nine so-called "coolies", or the supervisor surnamed Cheng and the four black-clothed bodyguards under him, they were all chess pieces in the hands of the "Four Ghosts in Guanzhong".
On weekdays, they stay here to engage in the so-called "handicraft processing", and once there is really a suitable business outside, it is also their pawns who come forward to "charge into battle".
It's just that the current time is indeed not sufficient, so the lone wolf has no time to consider the daily situation of these people, and all this can only rely on the relevant parts in the future to make corresponding inquiries.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone stumbled into this secret serial hole today and heard the confession of this middle-aged strong man with their own ears, who would have believed that all of them were very likely to be true.
Of course, no one has been caught in person, and there are still some variables, but soon all this will come to light.
After a brief introduction to all this, Lone Wolf quickly agreed with everyone on the next action plan. First, everyone must take advantage of the fact that the other party is unprepared to immediately launch a surprise attack on the criminals below, and strive to completely control the entire chain cave in the shortest possible time, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
Because, at present, no one dares to guarantee that this middle-aged strong man will not turn back. Once he is released now, if he turns back again, then everything will be over. After that, even if a large number of people were mobilized to take action, it is estimated that they would have already dealt with it, and even blown it up, and everything would have become complicated by then.
In addition, although we have not found any hidden monitoring equipment now, no one dares to guarantee whether the other party has installed it. Perhaps, the people below the family already know everything about it by now.
