Zhang Fan took out a flashlight from the drawer and shone it towards the tiles.
The runes were densely packed, strange and mysterious. Even though he had learned a lot of Taoism, he still couldn't understand them at all.
It is very heavy and is definitely not an ordinary tile.
I remember Zhao Yong specifically mentioned this when he sent it to me.
This is the core tile of a certain building in ancient times. It can not only ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but also guide thunder and lightning.
Of course, Zhao Yong was only talking about the tiles in a static state. Zhang Fan had never seen Zhao Yong use them to know what their effects were.
However, according to what Zhao Yong said, these tiles can only be temporarily placed in Changhong Funeral Home, and they will not be taken away even if Zhao Yong resigns.
But if there are special circumstances, he may take it away.
After staring at the tiles for a while, Zhang Fan looked at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock.
This surprised Zhang Fan very much, although this thing was indeed fascinating.
Unexpectedly, even time seemed to speed up a lot.
After putting the tiles away, Zhang Fan gave up asking further questions.
The gift has already been given, so it’s a thoughtful gesture no matter how good it is.
Besides, I have asked it many times, and it would be impolite to ask again.
After leaving the office, Zhang Fan chatted with the employees for a while.
Wang Kai proposed the suggestion of expanding the funeral home outward, and Zhang Fan took it into consideration.
At six o'clock, everyone got off work on time and went home.
…
It’s a little after eight in the evening.
Heyun Cemetery.
People from the Yuncheng Security Bureau were investigating the fire that happened last night, and Qi Tianlong was also brought over.
"You mean, last night, the surveillance system and fire protection system in your cemetery broke down, and then the fire burned for five or six hours, but your employees didn't notice it at all, right?" The team leader stared at Qi Tianlong and asked seriously.
"Yes, if I hadn't been here yesterday, other cemeteries might have been affected." Qi Tianlong insisted.
"This is really ridiculous." The captain shook his head and frowned, "The scale of this fire is not very large. If there were no human factors, it would not be possible to burn so cleanly."
Qi Tianlong suddenly had an idea and argued, "Leader, what you said makes sense, but I can't possibly burn down my own graveyard, right? It must be someone in the same industry who was jealous of my business and deliberately set the fire. Please help me investigate!"
"Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this." The captain nodded and said, "You came to the cemetery last night. Before that, the surveillance was normal until you called the police, a total of two hours."
"It's impossible for the fire to go out naturally in such a short time, and it's impossible for the cemetery to be burned like this. What did you do during this time?"
"Leader, you are not doubting me, are you?" Qi Tianlong pretended to be surprised. "Leader, in less than two hours, tell me a way to burn it so cleanly."
The captain changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Let me ask you, was the fighting eagle that Wu Laosan fell into the river sent by you? Where did he fall? Where is his body?"
Qi Tianlong hesitated and said, "This... I... Leader... I only found out after receiving a phone call."
The investigation team leader continued to ask: "Phone, your call records don't have this item. Which phone number are you talking about?"
"I... I don't know either. You guys check it out. I don't know anything." Qi Tianlong simply gave up.
"Okay, you can do it. I'll ask a professional to check this matter."
The captain didn't look kind to Qi Tianlong. "From now on, all cemeteries and stores of Tianlong Funeral will be closed. When the fire safety inspection is completed, you can come to me to apply for opening."
"Leader, you...you are using public power to take revenge on personal enemies!" Qi Tianlong said anxiously.
The captain sneered and took out a document from his pocket: "It came down this morning. I just conveyed it."
"Boss Qi, we will meet again."
After saying that, the investigation team leader withdrew with his men, and Qi Tianlong stayed where he was, stamping his feet.
Even though I had done everything perfectly, I was still found to have loopholes.
It was just a fire... Why should other shops and cemeteries be rectified...
Damn it, I haven’t felt good since this morning, it’s like I’m poisoned!
…
At the same time, on the roof of the outsourcing team’s dormitory.
Pointy Nose had been watching the Security Bureau's vehicle leave through binoculars before he hurriedly climbed down from the roof.
"Brothers, let's get to work!"
"Okay!"
After he finished speaking, Zhao Feng stood up silently and went to carry the equipment.
It was agreed that they would set off in the afternoon, but they did not leave until the evening, so he thought everything was fine.
Soon, the group was ready to go, and Zhao Feng immediately turned on the camera hanging on his shoulder.
The signal light came on, and the man with the pointed nose said impatiently, "Xiao Zhao, turn off the camera. It's late at night and the video won't be clear. Don't bother me."
"This...Team leader, didn't the leader say that it must be opened?" Zhao Feng asked puzzled.
The man with the pointed nose glared and said unhappily, "What leader? I am the leader. Shut it down!"
"That's... okay."
Zhao Yong didn't ask any more questions and turned off the camera silently.
However, Pointy Nose was still very dissatisfied, so he simply took off the equipment from Zhao Feng and threw it on the desk: "Before work starts tomorrow, this camera will be kept by me!"
"Set off!"
Soon, the group of people went up Yunhe Mountain in a mighty manner.
In order to prevent Zhao Feng from causing trouble, Pointed Nose kept him behind him.
But after going up the mountain, Zhao Feng felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Team leader, did we take the wrong road? I remember it was over there."
"Xiao Zhao, don't ask so many questions. Of course, I'm the only one who knows about the new tasks assigned by the superiors. You just need to follow them." The pointed-nosed man rolled his eyes at him and continued walking.
Due to the other party's team leader's identity, Zhao Feng did not argue and just followed silently.
Except for Zhao Feng, the other team members knew what they were going to do, so they didn't say a word.
After an unknown amount of time, everyone arrived at a quiet place.
Pointy Nose stepped on the road a few times, and his years of experience in tomb robbing told him that this was newly backfilled soil.
"It's right here, dig it! Zhao Feng, turn on the light for me."
"knew."
Following the order from Pointy Nose, everyone assembled their Luoyang shovels and started digging on the spot.
At this time, someone couldn't stand the loneliness and said while digging: "Brothers, have you heard of such a story?"
"It is said that a prince of the Ming Dynasty was buried in Heyun Mountain. This prince was a great man and a founding general. The Hongwu Emperor once bestowed upon him the Imperial Sword."
"Before the prince died, he gave the sword to one of his confidants. The imperial sword has been passed down from generation to generation. Whenever someone digs at the prince's tomb, the confidant's descendant will appear holding the sword."
"Hey, you guys say..."
"Stop talking nonsense and dig quickly." The pointed-nosed man shouted sternly.
It's late at night and you're telling such an unlucky story!
Soon, more than ten minutes passed.
"Boss, we dug it through!"
“Rustle~”
"Shh...someone's coming, hide first!"
After finally finding the entrance to the tomb, they heard footsteps in the distance. Pointy Nose quickly told the team members to hide.
They were all tomb robbers, so hide-and-seek was no problem for them. They quickly performed a wave of invisibility magic.
When things developed to this point, Zhao Feng also figured it out.
This is not a new task at all, it's clearly tomb robbing!
But at this point, he still cooperated and hid.
In the darkness of the night, pairs of dark eyes stared carefully at the road ahead.
After a while, a skinny old man in cloth clothes and holding a sword appeared in everyone's sight.
Through the moonlight, everyone gradually saw the appearance of the sword.
As tomb robbers and experts in antiques, they recognized it at a glance.
Imperial sword!
The story...actually came true?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel worried.
According to the story, this old man holding the sword is definitely a martial arts master!
I'm afraid that all of them combined are no match for him!
However, the old man with the sword continued to move towards them, as if he had already determined his target.
"Boss...what...what should we do?"
Seeing the old man approaching, everyone was filled with panic.
"Shh, don't make any noise!"
Pointy Nose pretended to remain calm and prayed that they would not be discovered.
But the next moment.
'Plop.'
'Ouch!'
A dull sound was heard, and the outsourced team members were all stunned. This martial arts master... actually fell into a pit?
They looked at each other for a moment, and then, led by Pointy Nose, they slowly walked towards the tunnel.
"Please spare my life! Please spare my life! Please spare my life!"
After shouting three times, Pointy Nose plucked up his courage and shone the flashlight into the tunnel.
I saw an old man with his eyes closed, a big hole on his head and blood flowing out.
"What is this?" After a pause, the man with the pointed nose whispered, "Quick, pull the person up!"
The two team members went in through the tunnel and pulled the old man out of the tomb.
"Brother...it seems...that something has happened..."
"What? It's like that?" The man with the pointed nose walked towards the old man with a surprised look on his face.
I reached out and touched it, and it was indeed cold.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Send him to the hospital, maybe he can still be saved." Zhao Feng said anxiously.
"What the hell kind of hospital! Get out of here!"
The man with the pointed nose turned around and glared at Zhao Feng, then pointed the Luoyang shovel at Zhao Feng, forcing him to crawl into the tunnel.
"Hey...you guys...take care of yourself."
Zhao Feng sighed. Two fists were no match for four hands, and the other party was also armed. He had no choice but to do as he was told and crawled into the tunnel.
"Boss, this body?"
"Never mind, throw it off the mountain!"
The man with the pointed nose snatched the sword from the old man and then winked at the hillside.
The questioner hesitated for a moment, then called a partner and threw the old man down the mountain.
The man with the pointed nose was observing the imperial sword with great interest and anticipation.
If this is true... I could never spend all the money in my lifetime!
But soon, Pointy Nose found out that it was a fake and threw it aside.
"Damn it, it's a fake!"
Seeing this, several team members didn't believe it and rushed forward to snatch it.
"Don't look at it anymore. If I say it's fake, it's fake. Get out!"
"Okay, big brother!"
[Brothers, please take half a day off for the second chapter, and update it around noon. Something happened during the day, sorry! ]
