After listening to the report from Brother Jin Yin, Uncle Li squinted his eyes and twisted his beard and thought about things.

Dawu hugged Xiaowu and cried bitterly: "Uncle, my brother Zhaozi was deposed by them. I can't let them go. I want to avenge my brother."

Niu Er was also lying there, Johe roaring in his mouth, his throat was also broken, his eyes were covered with white gauze, and blood was constantly oozing out, and the bandage was dyed red.

Niu Er's elder brother Niu Da has not come back from doing business in another place yet. If he sees his brother like this, he will definitely not give up easily.

Li Tianming had a headache, and Li Ergou left a bunch of trouble for himself.

But he couldn't help but feel secretly happy. He knew that this was an opportunity. An opportunity to win multiple goals in one go. But now he couldn't show it on his face.

Li Tianming nodded and said, "Honey, you must avenge you, but you can't fight hard now. This group of people have guns on their hands. Although we have many people, no matter how good the kung fu is, you can knock it down with one shot... Jinzi, do you know what the origin of Li Ergou's group of people? I used to know that this guy had some skills in dividing gold and determining the acupoints to see Feng Shui, why are you still armed now?"

Scar Jin said, "I have heard before that Li Ergou and his group formed a gang in a gang called the Black Tu Gang during a chaotic battle a few years ago. Once, during the county's armed battle, Li Ergou's group rushed to the armed forces' arsenal. It is said that they robbed a lot of guns. When they were confiscated some time ago, they probably hid and did not hand over it. There are several families in our village who hid guns."

"Uncle Li, should we get a few guns? It will be convenient for us to do things in the future. Although we have a lot of people today, we can't even move a gun by Li Ergou's group of people!"

Li Tianming nodded and said, "You can arrange this matter. Remember to be careful not to do it locally, and don't make too big a formation. We are tomb robbers, not to rush into arms. Also, try to get short guns and not long guns."

Jinzi nodded, "I understand, that money..."

"You can keep the money first, and I will report it to you when the matter is finished."

Jinzi pouted and the boss was reluctant and asked me to cushion every time. Your money is money, but my money is not money...

"Xiao Wu, Niu Er, you two are useless and can't do anything. Let's go back to your hometown in a few days - but Uncle Li will not forget you. In the future, brothers will have a share of your money."

Li Tianming patted Niu Er on the shoulder. Niu Er was beaten the worst. Now he can't stand straight, so he has to support him.

To be honest, Li Tianming still appreciates Niu Er very much. He is loyal and obedient, quick-witted and good at fighting, and it's just a waste of time.

Li Tianming turned his face and said to others, "We share the blessings and share the difficulties. In the tomb robbery industry, we always put our heads on the belt. If we want to stand firm, our hands and feet must be hard! Don't be afraid! Don't worry! As long as you listen to Uncle Li, if something happens, Uncle Li will protect you."

"I will give you a special sum to recover from Xiaowu and Niu Er's injuries. I will definitely not be wronged. As long as Uncle Li is here, I will cover the rest of your life!"

He turned around and nodded to Dawu again. Dawu hugged Xiaowu and touched tears: "Thank you, Uncle Li."

In fact, Li Tianming felt very distressed after raising such two useless people in vain. However, he was smart in his calculations. These two pairs of tricks were exchanged for everyone's loyalty, and half of the good goods were already very profitable.

His top priority now is how to deal with Li Ergou and others.

The Mang Mountain is so big, with so many tomb robbers. If they all want to divide their territory with them, then their business will become more and more difficult in the future.

Now Li Tianming understands a little why his father wants to raise a tomb. He hides it. This is the savings left for future generations in case of emergencies. Unfortunately, before the grandchildren could survive, the property was misappropriated by his son.

The key is that I am now in a big family and the old man has not left enough inheritance.

Li Tianming secretly complained that the old man's peasant had too serious thoughts and only wanted to live a small life without any big plan. If you have the ability to open the sky, why didn't you dig a few large tombs at the beginning? There were only a few tombs left behind? It made me feel very difficult now. According to the current method of scrambling, I will be hollowed out soon.

Now that my subordinates have to support so many people, how can I earn enough by just walking around the streets to exchange food? When will I save up so little by little? I still have so many dreams that have not come true. Seeing that my career has just improved, I was tied up again.

He decided to throw this problem to the leader. According to the previous agreement, tomorrow is the day to meet and deliver the goods with the leader.

If you can't solve this problem, I can justify the reduction of "tributes" in the future.

The next day, Li Tianming arrived at the county hotel early. He was patrolling around and observed for a long time before he entered the hotel room.

This room was opened two days ago.

Every time he receives the "received goods" notice, Li Tianming will arrange the meeting place. He will leave a mark in the bustling area in the center of the county town. After the person sent by the leader sees the mark, he will find the delivery place arranged by Li Tianming.

This complicated process was thought out by Li Tianming. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one thing. It is always right to be careful about everything. Although there is a lot of extra expenses, Li Tianming believes that such caution is necessary. Now, both the white and the underworld must be guarded, and life is more important than money.

Since this dragon head has been in contact with him twice, he has never seen the head. Every time he will send different people to deliver the goods to him. Sometimes it is a buyer, sometimes it is an intermediary. Uncle Li has tried these people's tone several times, but these people have a tight mouth and rarely mention the matter of the dragon head. Even when the word "龙" is mentioned, he looks very respectful.

Li Tianming sat in the room for a while, and there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

Dongdong, Dongdongdong, Dongdongdong.

Li Tianming opened the door and came in a middle-aged man in Zhongshan suit. He had a white face and no beard and wore a pair of black-framed glasses. From his appearance, he definitely didn't look like a cultural relics smuggler, but rather a scholar who was engaged in science.

Li Tianming dragged out a pack of things from under the bed and placed them on the bed one by one.

"That's all?" The visitor looked at Li Tianming standing there and asked a little disbelief.

Compared to previous transactions, this time there is less goods.

"Well, something happened." Li Tianming nodded in pain.

Of course he would not honestly say that most of the goods were taken out by him in private.

"I have encountered something difficult recently, and someone is in trouble..."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, obviously he was not interested in Li Tianming's private affairs.

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at the "hidden weapon" brought by Li Tianming.

"This is an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty, but why is this bamboo slip only half? How come this jade and silk are broken from the middle? You are also a veteran, how could you do such unprofessional things?" The middle-aged man's tone was full of blame.

This person seems to be an expert, and he can see at a glance that the broken marks on the bamboo slips and jade silk are new, and they should have been destroyed when shipped.

"And this Tang Green Glaze Tricolor Furnace Bottle, it should be a pair, why is there only one? What about the other?"

The middle-aged man looked up at Li Tianming, who was hanging his hands beside him, and his eyes behind the lens were full of doubts.

Looking at the middle-aged man's interrogative look, Uncle Li coughed twice and brought out the set of rhetoric that had been prepared long ago.

"When we shipped, we met a powerful colleague who was so angry that he not only detained our people, but also took away half of the goods..."

It turns out that these remnants of Tang tombs were all written by Li Ergou.

Li Ergou is also acting erratic, and he is explicitly disgusting Li Tianming. It is said that things are half-divided, but it is really "half-divided".

One of the paired bottles, half a pound of bamboo slips per person, and half a pound of jade and silk were cut into two with one knife... Of course, Li Ergou would not be unable to get along with money. He chopped all the things that he thought were worthless. There were also many goods intact, but they were all taken by Uncle Li to trade with Luoyang brokers.

The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, "What a pity, it's a waste of resources. Who is this Li Ergou?"

At this moment, Li Tianming described Li Ergou's situation to the middle-aged man.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed: "These people are clearly bandits. How can they know about tomb robbers? They don't care about the value of cultural relics... So many things have been broken by them. You don't know how savage they are in private. All the things they can't move are smashed, and all the good coffins are chopped..."

Li Tianming described the chaos in the Mangshan tomb robbery world as if he was just a serious person.

Seeing the middle-aged man silent, Li Tianming touched his conscience with his hands and said with a heartache: "I feel sad when I think of so many precious cultural relics being ruined by clumsy tomb robbers!"

The middle-aged man looked at the broken silk on the bed and frowned.

Li Tianming observed his expression and continued, "In addition to Li Ergou's gang, several tomb robbers in Mangshan and Luoyang are also in a resurgence. The competition is getting more and more intense. I am not doing business here, so I can also send some defective products this time. After a while, I'm afraid I will come to see you empty-handedly."

The middle-aged man touched his chin and thoughtfully, but he still didn't say anything.

Uncle Li hesitated and said, "We have suffered a lot of losses this time. Two young people's eyes have been deprived. I, the boss, cannot leave them alone. I will take care of them for the rest of my life. They have old people above and young people below. This family's expenses are huge."

In fact, the elderly in Xiaowu and Niu Er's family are dead. They are also singles, and the whole family is not hungry if they eat one person. They are actually Uncle Li wants to gain sympathy, seek more compensation, and by the way, they add a little pitifulness to the leader.

What he is not sure about now is what the relationship between the middle-aged man and the leader. If he is just a buyer, his acting skills will be in vain.

The middle-aged man nodded in thought and said, "That's nature, that's nature. Brothers have worked hard and made great contributions. Now they are disabled due to treasure hunting, so the funeral must be arranged. Well, I understand, I will go back to report the situation to the leader - don't do it again soon, just stop for two months before talking about it."

Uncle Li was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and sent me away with just one sentence. At least you gave me some money and something to express your feelings on the spot. How could people convince me if I do this perfunctory thing? I still have dozens of people waiting for dinner.

Seeing the middle-aged man carefully wrapping things together, he turned around and wanted to leave. Uncle Li asked unwillingly: "Li Ergou and others have guns. I can't let him ride on my head like this. If you can't help, then I will follow him and report him, saying that he has hidden guns and ammunition..."

When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned around and said in a stern tone: "You are also a traitor, why don't you even understand this principle? If you solve the problem in the world, if you bring the public into it, it will not be their family's business, and even you will be implicated!"

"Don't act rashly, wait for the leader to notify you!"

The middle-aged man said a word, turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Tianming looked at the middle-aged man's back as he left, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How come I don't understand this principle? I'm just testing you. If you can solve this problem, it's best. If you can't solve it, it means that the leader's power is just like this. Then I will pull it out and work alone in the future, and you can't do anything to me."

After returning, Li Tianming first reminded his subordinates not to go out and walk around in the near future, and everyone stayed in the stronghold honestly.

Although he had put aside his work and business, Li Tianming didn't stop. Taking advantage of this time, he took care of the situation several times. The more he thought about it, the clearer he became.

The Dragon Head side should not be reliable. Even if you have great power, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the power on the Mangshan side is complicated. I am afraid that no matter how long your Dragon Head is, you will not be able to reach out.

You told me not to act rashly, because I am afraid that something will cause trouble will lead you?

Humph, I, Li Tianming, is not as simple as you thought. I am just pretending to be pitiful in front of you.

Li Ergou is capable, but he is old after all, so I will use a delaying strategy to deal with him as a superficial general. I will settle the score with him when he becomes full.

The cooperation with the Luoyang broker is currently very promising. After handing him over the wholesale goods from Tang Tomb, the man praised him and gave himself a large deposit on the spot. It was really a big deal, and the income was much higher than the income obtained from changing things from street to street.

With this batch of funds at the bottom, Li Tianming can do a lot of things.

Li Tianming decided to continue to carry forward the tomb robbery business, but before expanding his business, he first had to arm his subordinates. Tomb robbery is not as simple as strength these days, but he is competing for comprehensive strength.

To rob the tomb, you have to deal with competing peers. Now these tomb robbers have hard guys in their hands. After suffering from Li Ergou's losses this time, other families may also try to imitate themselves. Although they have many people, they will use nothing to use when they are shot by someone.

In the chaotic years in the past few years, there were many weapons left among the villagers, so it was not difficult to do a few things. It seemed that Jinzi had to be instructed to do things quickly. When others divided the territory, it would be even more difficult to do things by themselves!

But Li Tianming's wishful thinking was still absent. Half a month later, he gave up his idea of ​​going out alone.

The broker in Luoyang is dead.

Something happened to Li Ergou’s family!
Chapter completed!
