Chapter 171 The Nine Sons of the Dragon: Pepper

The next day, the first thing Zhang Yang did when he got up was to send a message to Captain Liu and ask:

"How many did you catch?"

And he sent three messages in a row to ensure that the other party would not miss the message, so that when he could reveal the case, the other party would naturally reply.

At noon that day, Captain Liu replied.

"Just one."

"He was caught by the villagers' wild boar traps, and half of his leg was almost broken. He is still in the hospital."

"He said he had no accomplices, and he used voice changers and AI to direct and act the whole process, pretending that there were many people to confuse you and our police..."

"Can you believe this?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Of course not, he did provide us with other information, saying that you, Master Zhang, are the tomb-robbing consultant he paid for."

"He learned the tomb-robbing techniques in your live broadcast room; and he was able to infer the age and value of the tomb by asking you to identify it."

"Can you believe this?" Zhang Yang asked the same question again.

Captain Liu was silent for a long while before he asked Zhang Yang:

"Are you free? Can you introduce me to the tomb robbers you know?"

"Which tomb robber are you talking about? I know several."

"The one you mentioned yesterday, the tomb robber who was cursed with tomb-touching, learned the hole-drilling technique from Chen Yulou, and sold you the bones of the living dead in the pawnshop."

"Oh, you mean the thatched worker." Zhang Yang smiled and told Captain Liu: "He is now Chu Ziqiang's man."

"I'll contact him for you, but I can't guarantee whether he is willing to pay attention to you."

"It's the one with the surname Chu again?"

Captain Liu felt a headache when he thought of Chu Ziqiang.

It would be fine if he was a playboy, but he did all good things. As a witness to the matter of Xu Chu's tomb, he knew that the credit for the matter should be that of the folk archaeological team.

"Zhang Yang, think of a way. What we want to save now is your ancestral tomb."

"I have other things to do, so I won't talk to you for now."

After hanging up the phone, Captain Liu quickly turned on the Douyin on another mobile phone.

In the background, a man named [Lu Daozi] was asking him when he could trade today.

This was the first time Captain Liu had caught fish after fishing for so long, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

The other party had been chatting with him for half a month, and found out that he was in Linhai, so he took the initiative to propose offline transactions.

Captain Liu saw in the photos taken by the other party that there were soil stains on the porcelain and jade, and the bronze was quite green, and he was already 70% convinced.

Anyway, he could catch them and then identify the authenticity of the things.

Even if they were not real tomb robbers and the things were all fake, there was a high probability that they had caught the fraudsters.

No matter how you calculate it, it's not a loss.

……

On the other side, in a farmyard in the suburbs of Linhai City.

It was still the familiar Wuling Hongguang, and six tomb robbers were loading goods into the trunk.

Xiang Baotou was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a notebook with "Notes on Being Caught as a Tomb Robber" on the cover, summarizing the reasons for being caught this time.

There was not much blank paper left for him, and there were not many brothers who could be caught, so he wrote very seriously.

"Don't listen to the stories told by the treasure appraiser anchor - it's a waste of time to rob tombs;"

"Don't dig ancient tombs that have been registered by the cultural relics department - they will find them too quickly;"

"If you want to take a mountain road, make sure the road is safe - there may be unscrupulous people who put traps;"

"Don't kick the incense burner in front of other people's graves - it's easy to step on the trap."

After writing these, Xiang Baotou felt that he had summarized it almost.

It was the most important moment for tomb robbers, the moment of harvest - selling rice.

"Boss, Lao Shiyi has been arrested, how many people are we going this time?" Lao Si asked, leaning on the window of the van.

When Boss Niu was still there, they usually delivered goods to Boss Niu.

Only when Niu was not convenient to collect, Lao Shiyi would find the seller.

Like this one in Linhai, Lao Shiyi spent half a month to find it online.

It is said that the disguise is very good, and the name is [High Price for Qin Wang's Bone Mirror].

At first glance, it seems to be a joke, but after chatting, I found out that the other party is very bold and dares to accept anything, and the price is also authentic.

I looked at the agreed time, three o'clock in the afternoon, which is the most tiring time of the day.

There is a certain risk of being robbed by the thieves.

"Let's go together, be alert at that time, and be careful of the other party robbing you."

"After selling, we will leave Linhai directly. This place is too unlucky!"

"Okay, I'll sharpen those machetes."

The fourth brother nodded and took the brothers to pack up the equipment.

...

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Yang started broadcasting.

"Brothers, I have a message. Tomorrow I will go to the small broken station for a trial broadcast to attract traffic to our live broadcast room."

"It's not that I want to change jobs, but because our director is a second-dimensional, and he insists that there is a market over there, I can't do anything."

Xu Jie, who was staring at the monitor, was puzzled.

What's wrong with me being a second-dimensional?

[Great, both chefs are happy]

[I happen to have an account, so I can make the anchor a captain]

[I suggest that you connect to the top 100 over there for business purposes to attract some popularity]

[I strongly recommend the cat bite, let's watch the live broadcast together]

[Okay, you don't want to pretend anymore, right?]

"Brothers, you don't need to be a captain, I don't need that little money."

"You should bring some of the stock from home... Sorry, I forgot you don't have it."

"Let's see what the friends brought today!"

Lianmai’s first treasure friend.

The person who spoke was an elder brother with a Northeastern accent. He brought a pair of bronze auxiliary heads, also called door knockers.

The main body is carved with a dragon's head, and the fangs are curved and hooked into a copper ring slightly larger than the bracelet.

In ancient times, this thing was usually installed on the door of a building to knock on the door.

Occasionally they appear on coffins or tomb doors to ward off evil spirits.

Zhang Yang only took one glance and felt that something was wrong. The rust color was too uniform, just like the paint on it.

At first glance, it looked like it was soaked in horse urine.

"Friend Bao, you must have bought this bronze auxiliary head, right?"

"I spent 20,000 yuan on this pair in the early 2000s." Baoyou answered honestly.

"In what era was it purchased?"

"Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty."

"That's not bad. The price of something like this at a serious overseas auction is around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, but if you buy it in China, you won't be able to get it for less than 200,000 yuan."

[The case value is two hundred thousand, starting in five years]

[The case value is 20,000, so the sentence should be six months]

[It seems that it is more cost-effective to break the law as early as possible]

"I bought this before, it shouldn't be illegal." Baoyou was a little worried when he saw the barrage.

"You don't have to worry at all." Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Didn't you notice that your bronzeware has rusted too evenly? It's obviously a post-imitation."

"Fortunately, you bought it early and lost less."

"If I buy it now, I won't lose hundreds of thousands!"

The public optimism failed to pass on to Baoyou. On the other end of the video, the eldest brother sighed heavily.

"Teacher, please help me take another look. I just bought a pair. This time I spent 150,000 yuan."

Baoyou said, and took out a pair of bronze auxiliary heads with a hint of yellow. This time they were not carved with dragons.

"Teacher, is this carving a lion?"

"What lion? This is Jiao Tu among the Nine Sons of Longsheng. Its main ability is defense."

"You must have removed this thing from some door!"

Zhang Yang took a look at the item information. He saw a gilt-bronze auxiliary head from the Ming Dynasty. With this size and this carving, even if it wasn't for the royal family, it might have come from a certain prince's palace.
