Xiaoli Village, only 3 kilometers away from Luoyang city, is located at the foot of Beiman Mountain. According to legend, the famous Luoyang shovel was invented by a villager named Li Duck in Xiaoli Village.
The 50-year-old old Ge Tou opened a shop next to the road in the village. The door was written with "Gejia Shovel" in large and crooked characters. On the iron doors on both sides were hung probes, rods, shovel blades, etc. Various tools.
Insiders know that this is not a place where farm tools are sold. The tools in this shop are used to rob tombs.
Old Ge Tou was sitting at the door basking in the sun, smoking a pipe. He didn't know why, but his business was a bit difficult recently. Those old customers who used to buy in large quantities seem to have not come for some time-don't they all wash their hands? Is there any major event that I don’t know about in the graveyard world
Just thinking about it, three people came from afar, the head of which was thin and weak, with gray hair, and he looked like he was in his forties. Behind him were two men, one of whom was burly and short, with a shocking scar on his face. Another tall man with wide joints and clear eyes.
When Old Ge saw the mutton jade on the thumb of the leader, his eyes lit up: This is a big buyer!
The three of them entered the shop without talking, and looked east and west.
Lao Ge hurriedly followed and introduced, "What do you plan to buy?"
"What do you have here?" The scar face's voice is very thick, and his speech is like metal rubbing, which makes people very uncomfortable to hear.
"What you want, ancient shovel, general shovel, mud shovel, brick shovel, sand shovel, flat shovel, prying shovel, ash pile shovel, blasthole shovel, brush shovel, soil sample shovel, archaeological hand shovel, Bundle shovel is readily available.
Scientific research probes, tie rods, needles with soil samples, high-strength archaeological ropes and underground metal detectors. "
Old Ge's head is like a cross talk actor, and his face is not red or breathless. This is the eloquence that has been practiced for many years in business, and the two men are dumbfounded.
The tall man murmured, "Isn't it the Luoyang shovel? There are so many ways."
Old Ge said with a smile: "There are many kinds of shovel in Luoyang, and each shovel has different uses and usages. The layman only knows the Luoyang shovel, but the insiders don't call it that way."
The tall man gave him a cold look: "You talk a lot."
Old Ge's neck shrank in fright, his eyes were so scary, he was sweating in his crotch.
The thin man with gray hair smiled and pointed his finger at a sign in the store-"It is strictly forbidden to use it for illegal tomb robbery."
Old Ge Tou smiled awkwardly. This sign is also particular about standing here. It's called "There is no silver in this place, three hundred taels", which is regarded as an advertising sign.
It seems that this thin man is their head, and he has been unmoved by his own mouth. He should have seen the world and look down on his own products. Some more valuable guys must be brought out.
Lao Ge looked at the mutton jade finger in his hand, swallowed his saliva, attached it to his ear and said softly: "I have a relative who can get an electric carving machine and a desktop grinder... I don't know you. Old..."
Everyone in the industry knows that these two things are tools for restoring cultural relics, and only some cultural relic dealers with a deeper knowledge will use this kind of thing.
Old Ge Tou judged that this extraordinary thin man was either a cultural relic dealer or a tomb robber. From the respectful look of the other two men, he was not inferior-and the mutton jade finger in his hand was nothing. Everyone has the strength to wear.
Lao Ge Tou's vision is very good. The three people in front of him are Li Tianming and two capable men, Scar Jin and Niu Da.
They are not here to buy things, but to find someone!
…
After the people sent by the leader left, Li Tianming was still frightened for several days. A few days later, he suddenly understood.
After the initial fear, the excitement of the rest of his life after the disaster occupied Li Tianming's heart.
Since the leader let him go this time, it shows that he still has use value.
He figured out that if he wants to protect his life without any worries and a prosperous business, he can only continuously improve his value.
This time the leader showed his strength. With him as the backer, then I can let it go.
Mount Mang will be mine in the future—no, Luoyang, Changsha, Guannei, Guanwai, what a small Mang Mountain, I want to dominate the country.
Li Tianming lifted the ban, and his subordinates began to move around. He himself began to show up frequently outside.
After hiding and hiding for so many years, I want to tell the world-the fifth of the five tigers of the Li family, Li Tianming is finally back!
During this period, Li Tianming's footprints spread all over Mangshan, his hometown, town, and village... Li Tianming walked with his head high, and everyone who saw him from a distance was whispering.
The difference is that when they walked to the front, everyone did not evade, but instead came up to say hello, climbed up the ranks, and handed cigarettes and tea, and the tone was also full of respect.
Li Tianming is very satisfied. It turns out that it feels so good to be touted and respected! The first half of my life was in vain!
After the polite remarks, many people asked if Li Ergou’s family did Li Tianming’s affairs. Li Tianming neither denied nor admitted, but just smiled and closed his eyes, leaving everyone with an unpredictable secret. Smile.
Soon the gossip spread, and Li Ergou was indeed destroyed by Li Tianming.
The effect was obvious. Several tomb-robber families sent people to spread the word, expressing their respect for Li Tianming, and expressed their willingness to play with Li Tianming after the horse.
Li Tianming doesn't like them, how old are you guys, and still want to fight with me
There are also some relatives and friends who can't reach them. They asked their elders to talk, hoping that Li Tianming can take care of his son/nephew/cousin, find a job, and take everyone to make a fortune.
Li Tianming sees the faces of these people, and hates them in his heart. Why didn't you pop up when my father had an accident? All of them are like disaster avoidance stars, vying to leave my family alone.
Now that I know that Lao Tzu is well-developed, they all come together to fight for food? When I was in trouble, I looked for you, what did you do to me
Humph, you ignored me yesterday, but today I make you unaffordable!
Li Tianming didn't refuse them, just told them to go back and wait for the news.
During this period, Li Tianming's subordinates were also moving around under his instruction. Not long after, information came back.
After the incident of Li Ergou, most of the tomb robbers in the Manshan area disappeared. At least no one dared to dig antiques during this period, and no one wanted to be bored in the tomb by Li Tianming.
These subordinates also spread out according to Uncle Li's meaning: Uncle Li is a kind person and will not cut everyone's way of life. As long as Uncle Li steps on the plate and no one touches it, then we will not embarrass you—
As for which plates Uncle Li stepped on? This is what we have the final say. If Uncle Li says that we have stepped on the plates of Mount Mang, then you can only dig in one-third of your own acre.
The meaning of these remarks is very obvious. If you want to plan a tomb in Mangshan in the future, you have to look at my Li Tianming's wink.
Scar Jin couldn't understand, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of Uncle Li's words was.
Li Ergou was dead, and the others didn't dare to move. Why didn't you strike while the iron was hot and rob Manshan's business? Why bother to leave a way for others
Li Tianming had to patiently explain to him that he can't do everything right. There are at least tens of thousands of people who are engaged in the tomb robbery industry in Manshan. You have smashed everyone's jobs. Don't people fight you hard? The rabbit is anxious and kicks the eagle!
Besides, the industry of tomb robbers cannot be dominated by a single family. The first ones are rotten first. You can't be the thorn in everyone's eyes. Our strength has not yet reached that level.
Scar Gold is stunned again, what kind of chess are you playing? It is necessary to monopolize the market and to give people a way to survive. Isn't this fighting with yourself
Li Tianming twisted his beard and smiled, "You are half right, I'm playing chess, and masters have to look at the overall situation when playing chess! Think about it, is there any way to make the tens of thousands of tomb robbers like Manshan take orders from me?"
Scar Jin said with a stubborn neck: "Fight, fight if you don't agree, until you are satisfied!"
Li Tianming shook his head, this is really helpless, "No matter how powerful you are, you can access the 31 novel app download addresses. Tens of thousands of people are standing in line and you can't beat you!"
"Yinzi, what method do you think about it?" Li Tianming asked pretentiously.
"Catch the thief first!" Yin Zi said coldly.
Li Tianming's eyes lit up, the realm of this guy was really heaven and earth to Brother Nai, and he could understand his own thoughts.
"Yes, although some small tomb robbers are now under our control, they dare not act rashly. But they always have to eat. After a long time, they still have to come out to work. We can't stop it, and we can't control it. "
"Then what should we do?" Scar Jin felt his head and was confused again.
"Catch the thieves and the king first! As long as we control a few big families, then other people will naturally be the only ones watching."
When everyone heard it, they nodded one after another, as if they understood. They didn't understand the word "control" deeply, thinking that it was just to scare things out.
Of course Li Tianming understands that control is not that simple. He already has a complete plan in his mind.
"Yinzi, how have I asked you to inquire these days?"
"There is not much movement in our neighborhood. But the four major families in Luoyang are still active, and Li Ergou's matter seems to have little effect on them."
Li Tianming nodded, "Well! Which of the four big families is the most powerful?"
"Laosan Ma from Xiaoli Village, Mapo."
Li Tianming frowned: "Is it Ma Lao San, who is also known as Ma Wangye?"
Yin Zi nodded.
Li Tianming took a deep breath: "Let's take him first!"
The gold and silver brothers looked at each other, and Jin stammered: "You, are you going to move the prince?"
