Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 216: Lip point, you don’t know how to appreciate it!

Brother Xiong's words are not alarmist.

As long as you have power, you can find any excuse to put people in jail.

Later, something happened. Because he didn't dip his dumplings in soy sauce, he was sent to prison and imprisoned for more than a year.

Zhao Ziang had an even more mournful look on his face and tried to persuade him earnestly.

"Brother Shitou, I call you Brother!"

"Don't be stubborn now!"

"The situation is stronger than the person. Deputy Director Long is a henpecked husband. He will definitely help his relatives in this matter."

"You should actively admit your mistake later. Although a man's knees are made of gold, he still has to kneel when he should!"

"And all of you brothers, kneel down and sincerely apologize and admit your mistakes."

"I'll try my best to speak up for you, and I think you'll be able to step back and see the bigger picture."

I smiled but said nothing.

He didn't respond at all.

Apologize, it is impossible to apologize.

Sister Zeng has to apologize to me.

Cui Hao stood up and said, "Everyone has their own responsibility."

"Sister Zeng, the one I contradicted, kneeled down and apologized so I could come."

"This has nothing to do with my brother!"

Cui Hao has grown rapidly recently.

If he had encountered such a thing in the past, he would have been so scared that his calves would have cramped.

Not to mention daring to take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility.

Shi Nianzi followed up, "This matter started with me, and has nothing to do with Master Chen."

"If you want to be beaten or punished, come to me."

Both of them took the initiative to take responsibility and wanted to distance me from this matter.

"Oh, Master Chen?"

"I didn't realize you were called grandpa at such a young age." Brother Xiong stared at me with a playful look.

In those days, except for the elderly, no decent person would use the word "ye" as the title.

Only those who are involved in society and the underworld can be called "Master".

Old detectives like Brother Xiong have a natural sensitivity to the word "grandfather".

The way he looked at me at this moment was like a hunter eyeing his prey.

The stone mill stared at Brother Xiong blankly.

Before he could react, his words revealed his true identity.

Wang Hu's face darkened as he nudged the millstone with his elbow: "If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak. Shut up!"

Only then did Shi Nianzi realize that the atmosphere was not right.

He hurriedly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Wang Hu tried to make amends, saying, "Brother Xiong, my brother's pronunciation is not clear. He actually didn't say Master Chen, but Chen... Chen Ye, which is also Ye."

"It doesn't matter."

"Haha." Brother Xiong smiled brightly, raised his arm and put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Master Chen, Chen Ye, which one do you think I should believe?"

Zhao Ziang sighed deeply.

In his opinion, there is no hope for us to turn the tables.

I just offended Sister Zeng before, so it’s just a matter of apologizing.

The consequences of being targeted by Brother Bear are completely different.

Think deeper.

Will Brother Xiong send us to jail as a solid case just to win the favor of Deputy Director Long?

This is entirely possible!

The moment Brother Xiong asked the question, Cui Hao and the others became extremely nervous.

Cui Hao and Wang Hu exchanged glances, then reached out their hands from under the table and wrote on my legs: Escape!

Wang Hu leaned over to the stone mill and whispered into its ear.

They are probably discussing how to escape and cover the rear.

Shi Nianzi widened his eyes and nodded slightly, his arm muscles bulging as if he was ready to take action at any time.

Brother Xiong narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly touched his lower back.

At the same time, he winked at the others who surrounded us.

The scene was unusually quiet.

But the smell of gunpowder was strong.

If I make the slightest move, the situation will become tense.

Zhao Ziang covered his face in despair.

I feel like I'm only half a step away from being skinned alive.

I was so frightened that I couldn't bear to look at my actions...

I shook my head slightly at Cui Hao and the others.

Then face Brother Xiong.

He said slowly, "I'm talking to Chen Ye, you definitely won't believe me."

"Actually, you heard it right. He did call me Master Chen."

"If you like, you can also call me Master Chen."

"presumptuous!"

"Be bold!"

Sharp shouts came from all around.

Brother Xiong smiled and waved his left hand, then his right hand, which was around my shoulders, suddenly tightened.

It looked like he was afraid that I would run away.

"I've caught highway robbers and I've caught people breaking into houses and picking locks."

"This is the first time I've seen a young man like you."

"Heng Lanrong, what business are you in?"

He asked this to test my bottom line.

I smiled but didn't say anything.

He scoffed and said, "Playing dumb? Or don't you understand?"

"Could it be that this is a loophole that even Lian Heng Granrong doesn't understand?"

"Kongzi" is a slang term in the underworld, referring to people who are outside the industry or have not yet entered the industry.

This underworld jargon came out of the mouth of detective Brother Xiong, but it didn't feel out of place at all.

In the past, a criminal police officer was roughly equivalent to a constable at the yamen.

They are targeting people in the underworld, so naturally they have some knowledge of the underworld jargon.

To be honest, I didn't know much about underworld jargon at that time.

I just heard Tuo Ye mention a few underworld jargons when he was telling stories.

The lip point was later passed down as a spring code, probably because it was written to make it sound nice and beautiful.

It was originally a jargon created by Jinpi Cai Gua Ping Tuan Diaoliu, a type of wandering performer, to facilitate communication among their peers.

Later it was extended to Heng, Lan, Rong and other industries.

Some of the lip points are common to all industries, which facilitates communication within the industry.

Each line has its own unique lip point.

Only people in my own industry understand it, and people from other industries don’t understand it.

This is equivalent to industry code language.

Hence the saying that one would rather give up a gold ingot than a word of spring.

It means that one would rather give up the gold than reveal the secrets of the industry.

The tomb-robbing business also has its own unique features.

However, due to various reasons, not many lip marks from the older generation of tomb robbers are left.

Most of the jargon used in the tomb-robbing business was created by us in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

Moreover, due to regional differences, the slangs in the north, south, east and west are also different.

Let me get back to the verbal exchange between me and Brother Xiong.

I stared at him and said slowly, "I really don't understand what you mean."

"Nianzi calls me Master Chen because I am worthy of being called a master."

"Giving you the opportunity to call me Master Chen is also a compliment to you."

“What a pity.”

"You don't know how to appreciate it!"

I emphasized the words "ungrateful" and a fierce look flashed in my eyes.

Brother Xiong was overwhelmed by my sudden momentum.

He involuntarily loosened his arms that were tightly around my shoulders.

He swallowed hard.

After recovering from the shock, he glared at me in shame and anger.

"You dare to say I don't know how to appreciate it?!"

"Be tough now, and you'll be in trouble when you're in jail!"

"If I don't make you willingly plead guilty and face punishment, I won't be named Xiong!"

Brother Xiong's words were full of threats.

At that time, if you were taken to the police station, just being handcuffed behind your back would make you feel uncomfortable all over.

Not to mention other powerful means.

Look at Brother Xiong’s attitude, he will definitely not let me off easily!

"The cuffs are ready!"

"When Deputy Director Long arrives, we'll handcuff them all back!"
