Chapter 4
This time, the thief and Yan'er were attracted by the blue and white porcelain buried under the foundation of the scrap steel factory in Gucheng Town.
According to the thief's judgment, the Tsinghua porcelain this time was ancient and expensive. According to the analysis of the soil and debris next to the digging pit, it is very likely that it is an ancient tomb below. If you can enter the ancient tomb, you may be able to harvest more than just blue and white porcelain. You can just take out one or two valuable things and you will never have to worry about using them in your next life. But when the two of them sneaked into the town, they found that the things here were not just blue and white porcelain.
It turned out that the steel mill had been shut down for many years, and the workers had been dismissed long ago, leaving only a few security guards to stay behind, guarding some dilapidated equipment and scrap copper and iron in the factory. The steel mill was already insolvent and could not repay the loan. The bank took back the mortgaged land and resold it to a real estate company. The real estate company planned to develop a scenic resort on the original site of the steel mill. It was already preparing for work on the periphery, but it was unexpected that the excavator dug out some blue and white porcelain.
Now, the scrap steel mill has been surrounded by many checkpoints and is waiting for the relevant departments to send an expert team to explore. The government departments have not yet realized the value of this batch of ancient blue and white porcelain, but once archaeological experts intervene, the government will strengthen supervision of the steel mills. Time is tight and there is little left.
The thief planned to figure out the situation of the ancient tomb first, and then find a way to get rid of the things in the ancient tomb without knowing it. The first thing to do is to position the location of the steel mill and cleverly avoid a team of patrol personnel arranged by the town police station here.
Now they have to use their way to find out what is going on.
Unexpectedly, in this process, the thief accidentally discovered a lot of things they had not expected. He felt that this business might be much more than just blue and white porcelain. The level of transactions was upgraded. The thief felt that only Yan'er helped, and the business could not be completed, so he immediately contacted Lao Sha.
The thief spread a map of the ancient town to Lao Sha. Because of the frequent demolition, this map was somewhat different from the actual situation. The thief used a red pen to make many marks on it, and four of the dots were circled with black strokes.
"If I guess correctly, there are already colleagues who have taken the lead." said the thief.
"How many people are there?" Lao Sha finally understood the reason why the thief called him here.
If you encounter peers who aim at the same goal during your work, things will become complicated. This also confirms the thief's conjecture. This place has such great attraction and attracts at least two people. And there may be more. If such a big deal is caused, no matter how valuable blue and white porcelain is, it does not conform to the common sense of doing business in this industry.
"I can't tell you where the other party is from now on." The thief smiled helplessly, "I don't know how many people there are on the other party."
"This blue and white porcelain is revealed. The city's TV station and newspapers have interviewed reporters. In order to promote tourism income and make the reputation of ancient towns, the leaders of the town boasted and spoke nonsense, and exaggerated. Now, those who have been caught in the radius of hundreds of miles have smelled the smell of meat. They must have a share of the pie. Fighting with such people with no technical content will really damage our image." Yan'er snorted softly.
"It's a big trouble." Lao Sha understood the pros and cons, and said to Yan'er carelessly, "Don't underestimate anyone. There is always only one reason for the failure, that is, he looks down on his opponent."
"No matter what the trouble is, this battle must be won. With the three of us joining forces, if we can't succeed, we won't have to mess up in the future." The thief patted Lao Sha on the shoulder, "I hope they are all the characters in the lower three ways."
"Look, let's talk about it." Lao Sha frowned. He felt that the thief was different this time than before, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
At this time, Lao Sha hadn't expected that the troubles between the thief and him were far more than that. Because the things they were looking for in the end were much more expensive than blue and white porcelain, in fact, the three of them had a foreshadowing.
When Lao Sha talked to me about this, he pretended to be mysterious: "Xiao Xu, you have written novels about ghosts and gods. Do you believe it yourself or not?"
"It depends on how I understand this." I said to Lao Sha, "If you want to say you don't believe it, there are actually many things that I can't explain."
"Do you believe it or not? There is something in this world that can really summon dead people to fight?" Lao Sha suddenly asked me something irrelevant.
"This kind of thing..." I hesitated for a while, "I heard that there are some, for example, I think some Taoists can control ghosts and do some supernatural things."
"Didn't you understand?" Lao Sha corrected me, "It's not that the Taoist priests do things to control ghosts, but something that can gather dead ghosts into an army. That thing is a tiger talisman."
"Where is this? I have never heard of a tiger talisman made of blue and white porcelain." I heard Lao Sha get further and further, and I can't help but get a little distracted. Seeing that I was absent-minded, Lao Sha no longer mentioned any ghosts and gods, but continued to talk about his business.
