Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

His answer surprised Lin Ran.

Tomb robbing is not an easy task. It is too easy to learn it by self-study or reading books.

Lin Ran had a narrow escape from death when he went to the tomb for the first time. It was only with the help of an expert like Lu Yingjie and professional personnel like Master Zhenbao that he escaped the disaster.

The old Hei in front of him actually said that he was self-taught.

Lin Ran asked: "Who did you learn your tomb robbing skills from?"

"We have lived near the ancient tombs since we were children, and we learned it by watching them secretly."

Lao Hei's words inevitably made Lin Ran wonder. Are the tomb robbers all idiots who didn't even notice when children peeked at them?

But he knew that it was difficult to answer this question, so he changed the question.

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

"You've killed someone and you can be released so quickly?" Lao Hei asked, "We are tomb robbers, not murderers."

But Lin Ran looked at him and said awkwardly: "But you look terrible."

"Hahahaha." The guys behind Lao Hei all laughed when they heard this.

Lao Hei turned around and glared, and they quickly covered their mouths and suppressed their laughter.

"If you want to use violence to define it, we are Southerners and have never threatened others with violence."

He was playing a word trap again. It could be seen from the previous gambling that there must be someone with a particularly good business acumen in their team.

This is a six-person team. As the leader, Lao Hei is also responsible for the force. He is obviously a ruthless person on the front line.

As for the others, Lin Ran saw how harmonious they were and how they were able to unite as one even after they were released from prison. It was obvious that they were a team that trusted each other.

"Okay, I will take you to see Director Tang, but the others have to wait here." Lin Ran said.

"No problem." Lao Hei agreed readily, and his younger brother had no objection.

"Hong Wu, you go and hang out nearby, don't delay their business." Lao Hei said in a low voice, it seems that he still understands the world.

Lin Ran drove Lao Hei to the Palace Museum.

Since it was Lin Ran who brought the people, he came directly to the door of Tang Lanxuan's office without any hindrance.

After briefly explaining his purpose, Lao Hei revealed a shocking secret without any delay.

"A big tomb near the capital?" Tang Lanxuan was startled.

In his impression, the West Village Tomb and the Ming Tombs were near the capital. Every inch of land here was valuable, and the princes and nobles would bury it in the suburbs. Ordinary nobles would never even think about it.

Lin Ran was also surprised.He didn't remember the big tomb he mentioned in his memory.

"We don't know exactly whose tomb it is, but it is well hidden. After our measurement, it must be a big tomb." Lao Hei said tentatively.

Hearing this, Lin Ran and Tang Lanxuan looked at each other.

The implication is, is this person worthy of trust?

Lao Hei seemed to have guessed that they didn't trust him, so he said: "That person told me that you are the honorary president of the Beijing Archaeological Association and asked me to come to you for help."

Lin Ran couldn't help but be secretly shocked that the people from the Special Investigation Bureau had laid so many holes for them.

Tang Lanxuan thought for a moment and seemed to guess who it was.

He nodded and said: "Yes, I will apply for an archaeological pass for you, but the condition is that the structure of the tomb must not be damaged. After determining the location of the tomb, tell us the location."

They don't have that many manpower now, so it's impossible to arrange for an archaeological team to go there just for a piece of groundless information.

With funds already tight, they naturally did not dare to take risks.

Obviously, they underestimated Lao Hei's thoughts.

"It's not necessary. We will explore the tomb thoroughly. As long as you arrange a position for us in the archaeological team after we come out, it will be fine." Lao Hei didn't really want to join the archaeological team, he just hoped that his merits would be reduced and he would be imprisoned. The days when he lost his freedom made him painful to recall.

"Yes, as long as you discover the tomb, I will write a letter of recommendation and let you become the archaeological consultant of the capital archaeological team." Tang Lanxuan promised.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Lao Hei nodded: "As the director of the Palace Museum, I believe you are true to your word."

"Of course." Tang Lanxuan said modestly, "I just don't know. Do you need me to help you?"

"It's best to send some people to help me." Lao Hei said, "It's a big tomb, and I'm afraid it won't be possible without twenty people."

"I can't dispatch manpower to you now." Tang Lanxuan also seemed helpless. According to their regulations, the archaeological team must be dispatched only when the matter is confirmed.

This is a very inefficient management model, and because of this model, they often let tomb robbers get in first.

Lao Hei was helpless. He had many subordinates before, and they had a very efficient tomb robbing system.

But after being caught last time, not everyone was willing to continue with him, and quite a few of his subordinates had already left.

The archaeological team refused to send people into action, and it was impossible for him to recruit his men temporarily.

"Okay, then I'll go explore the situation."

In any case, it can be regarded as the first step to cooperate with the country, but it is a pity that he cannot go in directly.

Lin Ran suddenly stood up: "Teacher, I will go with him."

He is not a member of the museum or the archaeological team, so he can participate in this archaeological operation as a volunteer.

Tang Lanxuan did not agree immediately, but whispered in Lin Ran's ear: "Do you believe a tomb robber who has just been released from prison? Aren't you afraid of being in danger with them?"

It is the instinct of ordinary people to be wary of people who have just been released from prison, and Tang Lanxuan is no exception.

Besides, Lao Hei does look fierce.

Lin Ran felt that Lao Hei was actually a nice person, but his appearance suffered greatly.

He did not rush to deny it, but said: "Teacher, in fact, we have not used the private archaeological team. Wouldn't it be better to use it to assist them?"

Lin Ran's words reminded Tang Lanxuan.

There is indeed a reliable archaeological team behind him, or a team of senior tomb robbers.

The extremely demanding tombs of King Zao and the tomb of Taizu of the Liao Dynasty can be handled. Are the tombs near the capital still within reach?

Tang Lanxuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately made a decision: "By the way, Zhao Heng (Lao Hei's real name), my apprentice also has an archaeological team that can assist you in archeology. They are very professional and do not require funds."

"That's good work." Hearing that there were more men, Lao Hei cupped his fists and said, "But I have a request. Going to the grave is very dangerous. I hope they can listen to my order."

"This..." Tang Lanxuan glanced at Lin Ran. He didn't know the temper of Liu Jingfeng and his group.

"No problem." Lin Ran patted his chest and said, "They will help you."

"That's good." Lao Hei said, "I need about a week to make preparations, and I will contact you then."

After discussing the big plan, Lin Ran took him back to the store.

Without stopping, Lao Hei set off with his men to make preparations.
