antique masters in modern times
Chapter 49 The Search and the Ghost
In the backlight, the man couldn't see his face clearly.But the young man felt that he seemed to be frowning in displeasure, and immediately excused himself with a dry smile: "Haha, well, boss, I just took a break and went for a walk. I will definitely complete the tasks you assigned on time. "
"Go for a walk, and then sell some souvenirs?" the man sarcastically asked.
"Uh... I don't have any change to buy cigarettes, so I just took something for practice and just wanted to change it for a few pennies." The young man was honest on the surface, but he slandered inwardly. If he had known that the boss was coming to inspect the post, he would not come out without saying anything.
But why is it so unlucky?The boss, who usually only gives advice at the headquarters, suddenly came out to inspect in person today, is there something wrong?
Thinking of some of the rumors he had heard recently, his heart trembled a little, and the slight dissatisfaction with the boss's disappearance before turned into worry in an instant.Pointing at a certain building with the spout of the jug: "Boss, could it be that they are making trouble again?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter. Listen less to rumors and do more practical things. If you can't hand over the things before the end of the month, you can pack up and go to the factory to knead plain embryos."
The man's tone of voice seldom fluctuated, and he appeared extremely calm, but the threat in his words did not decrease but increased.Hearing this, the young man's face instantly collapsed: "Yes, it must be done, and your important event will not be delayed."
After getting the guarantee, the man's face softened slightly: "Well, I have to do something in the past two days, so you just be honest. If you lack something, just ask for it yourself."
This kind of understatement but threatening tone, since working with the boss, the young man has only seen it twice in the past few years.Every time the world is turned upside down, and every time someone is unlucky.
The young man was extremely curious, but the boss refused to say anything, and he didn't dare to ask in detail. He could only ignore the little paws scratching his heart, and showed the attitude that a good employee should have: "Yes, boss."
The man nodded slightly, turned around, stepped into the private car parked at the intersection, and drove away slowly.
After finding the hotel designated by the meeting, Yan You finished the check-in procedures, entered the room and simply put away the luggage, and did some chores, but he was still restless.
Murong Hui once told him that although the Qin family retired, the old seniors did not miss a single move.Moreover, the waterways in Guangzhou are unimpeded, and the people are mixed, many of whom are from the rivers and lakes.The Qin family has a good relationship with several local snakes, and they are among the best in terms of connections.
With such strength, Yan You was not worried that they would suffer losses, but only worried about whether they could find the hiding place of Anxiangmen in time and rescue those innocent women.
Although he has deliberated no less than ten times on where those scumbags will hide people, but there is nothing to do right now, the worried Yan You couldn't help but start reasoning again.
"If it's in the urban area, it must be very noticeable to transfer a lot of people at once. Therefore, this place can only be close to the fishing village, or even in the fishing village, so that they can smuggle in the most convenient and quick way."
"But the Qin family has sent people to investigate various fishing villages before, but found nothing. And the villagers are likely to be participants themselves, so there is absolutely nothing to ask from them. If there is enough time, we can screen again ,but now……"
Yan You could see through every problem and every difficulty, but he couldn't think of any solution.
Noticing that his thoughts were about to enter the same dead end again, Yan You quickly took out his experience in restoring antiques, forcibly stopped thinking, and instead analyzed whether there was any other way out.
If you are a stowaway traveling alone, you only need a small boat or even a sampan.But if you want to escort more than a dozen women, you must have a decent big boat.They went out to sea late at night, probably under the pretext of fishing.Maybe you can ask, is there any villager who often fishes at night?But what reason?
After repeating the word fishing several times in his heart, Yan You, who was originally sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up, his eyes sharp and unusual: the young man who sold fake goods said that he got Haidao porcelain while fishing, Maybe I can use this excuse myself!
He carried a letter of certification issued by the old Ying before he left, and he also had an invitation letter for the meeting.As long as the excuse is academic behavior, claiming to have obtained a certain clue, to salvage cultural relics that have sunk on the seabed, and to fund the collection of fishing boats.If the remuneration is set higher, I believe the villagers will sign up enthusiastically.Then screen and exclude those who did not sign up one by one. At that time, I believe that the minions of Anxiangmen will be exposed in broad daylight like oil floating in water!
After quickly rehearsing it in his heart, he felt that the plan was very feasible, so Yan You acted immediately without any hesitation.
He also brought [-] yuan of activity funds, which was enough as "sincerity money".Originally, it was all the travel expenses for the trip between Yinglao and him, but it was urgent and they could only embezzle it temporarily.
Yan You didn't even expect to get the money back afterwards, after all, he couldn't torment innocent villagers in vain.I just thought, after going back this time, I probably really have to sell the gems to fill the limit.
Without further ado, he dug out the stack of big unity, and hurried downstairs to the front desk of the hotel: "Hello, comrade, I want to change them all into one-yuan change."
Qin family.
After noon, the sun became more and more poisonous, almost drying people out.The children who played wildly in the morning, and the old ladies sitting at the door knitting sweaters and doing needlework all went back to their rooms to rest and cool off.
Only the little granddaughter of the Qin family was still standing in the shade of the trees, stealing the rubber bands that the children had forgotten on the stone steps, and stretching them on the stone pier, dancing all kinds of tricks alone and happily.
Suddenly, the closed courtyard door rang, and the middle-aged man who had sent Murong Hui away at noon came out.
Before, he had clearly promised with a loud voice, but now the situation is still unclear, but he didn't look sad, instead there was a faint smile on his face.
"Uncle, do you want to go out?" The little girl raised her head and asked.
The middle-aged man patted his niece's head: "Good boy Lin, uncle is going to buy a bag of salt. Do you want bubble gum? I'll buy you a box."
The little girl tilted her head, wondering how the uncle, who was always willing to spend money on his cousin who was studying abroad, suddenly treated her so generously.
Before he could express his doubts, a person came running from afar on the long street covered in white by the sun.
The sharp-eyed A Lin recognized that the man was the elder brother who had talked to him a few hours ago.Hearing his panting sound like a broken bellows, I couldn't help thinking sympathetically, if he also had a grandfather who knew martial arts, he would not be so weak if he squatted on horseback and practiced boxing every day.
Unfortunately, Yan You had already run in front of them.
"Qin, Master Qin." Even during military training, Yan You never ran so hard.But he didn't understand the bus routes in Guangzhou, and he couldn't get the electric tricycle for a long time, so he had to run over by himself.
The middle-aged man also recognized him as Murong Hui's companion, and a look of strangeness flashed across his eyes, but he was immediately covered up and put on a concerned expression: "Little brother, are you okay? Did Master Murong find it?" What clue? I came back to find a friend and borrow a few more people. I just finished talking and I am about to rush over."
While speaking, he calmly pulled Yan You aside, lest the little niece who was too naive would "sell" himself in a moment.
Yan You didn't know what was going on, but his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Someone? That's great! Master Qin, I just thought of a way to find out the villagers who colluded with Anxiangmen. You can lend me someone quickly. Let's go right away!"
Hearing his words, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and he immediately asked tentatively: "Oh? I don't know what the idea is, does Young Master Murong know?"
Yan You originally wanted to say that it would take a lot of time to tell Murong Hui before acting, but he hesitated for a moment, but he lied: "Of course I know."
The Qin family only listened to Murong Hui's instructions, so it would be wrong for an outsider to come here.But this is for business. Instead of telling the truth and entangled in the qualifications to issue orders, it is better to hide it for the time being and apologize after the person is rescued.
The middle-aged man didn't see his hesitation, and when he heard the affirmative answer, his heart sank even further, but he had to force a smile and said: "There is a way, so be kind, little brother, can you tell me what your idea is?"
"Time is very tight now, why don't we talk about it on the road?"
Being urged repeatedly, the middle-aged man didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he had to grit his teeth and agree: "...That's fine, little brother wait, I'll tell them to go right away!"
The anxious Yan You also didn't see anything wrong with him: "Let's hurry up and trouble Master."
After a while, the middle-aged man brought a few people over.Yanyou asked them to lead the way, starting from the nearest fishing village.
"Master Murong took people to that place more than two hours ago, but they found nothing. Little brother, look..."
The middle-aged man still wanted to inquire about something, but was interrupted by Yan You: "Do as I say, and you will understand when you arrive."
Saying that, Yan You gave everyone a set of rhetoric, and asked them to write it down and cooperate with him later.
After pretending to listen, the middle-aged man wanted to ask again, but the fishing village had already arrived.
Fortunately, his doubts didn't last long, and Yan You answered him with his own actions.
"Hello, Comrade Village Chief, I am a student of the Department of Archeology of Beiping University in Sijiu City. I am here to do scientific research with my teacher. Now I am going to start the preliminary work. The details are as follows: We have obtained definite clues, proving that there is a ship in the nearby sea area. There are a lot of precious cultural relics in the shipwreck of the Tang Dynasty. We want to second the villagers' boats to help salvage. Of course, the comrades will not let their hard work be in vain. They will all be paid. At present, the settlement is set on a daily basis, and the wages per day are one yuan. Please convey the news to everyone, if there are any villagers who are willing to help, come and register immediately, and get a one-yuan deposit first."
Yan You's words borrowed a little bit from the counterfeit young man's previous rhetoric.However, although he could hear the flaws, most people didn't know about it.
After finishing speaking, he put the student ID card and letter of introduction on the table, and pushed towards the village chief.
College students are still very rare these days. Although people in Guangzhou are currently admiring business, they still respect scholars.As soon as he heard that the students from the emperor's feet were coming to inspect again, the village head did not dare to neglect.He took the documents and looked at them for a while, but he couldn't help but wondered: "My ancestors have lived here for generations, why haven't I heard of any shipwrecks from the Tang Dynasty nearby?"
"After all, it happened more than 1000 years ago. If it weren't for the major discoveries made in the research literature of the department, even we would not have thought of it." Yan You urged: "The village chief, the matter is urgent, the professor told me to mobilize all the people in this sea area Besides here, I have to go to other villages. You see, please help me gather everyone here first?"
At this moment, the seafood business has not yet grown, and the villagers have guarded the sea for generations, and what they get is just food and clothing. One yuan is better than the income from fishing, and they are not tired.The village chief thought about it for a moment, and felt that the business was a good deal, so he said straightforwardly: "Okay, little comrade, I'll turn on the radio and call for people to go."
"Thank you, village chief!" Seeing that the first step went so smoothly, Yan You was relieved.At this speed, before dark, he will definitely be able to find the innocent woman hidden by the Anxiangmen!
However, he didn't notice that Master Qin, who was standing behind him as a staff member, suddenly had murderous intent in his eyes after hearing the conversation.
"Go for a walk, and then sell some souvenirs?" the man sarcastically asked.
"Uh... I don't have any change to buy cigarettes, so I just took something for practice and just wanted to change it for a few pennies." The young man was honest on the surface, but he slandered inwardly. If he had known that the boss was coming to inspect the post, he would not come out without saying anything.
