Yuan Tiangang knew that Luo Yunhang was a shrewd and calculating person, so although he complained, he didn't say anything in the end.
The third item was a string of Buddhist prayer beads, or more precisely, a string of court prayer beads.
The similarity between court beads and Buddhist prayer beads is that they are both composed of 108 beads. They were decorative items placed on clothing when attending court and were used in conjunction with the officials' robes, hence the name "court beads".
A string of court beads has four large beads placed in front of the chest, called the Buddha head, which represents the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. There is also a drooping back cloud at the back, which means the beginning of a new cycle.
However, not everyone could wear these court beads. Only civil officials of the fifth rank or above and military officials of the fourth rank or above were qualified to wear them. Ordinary officials and common people were not allowed to wear these court beads at will.
Court beads reflected an official's status and rank; officials of different ranks used court beads made of different materials.
The emperor, empress, and empress dowager all used pearls, while other ministers used materials such as coral, jade, amber, and beeswax.
Qing Dynasty officials wore court beads because the emperor was a devout follower of Tibetan Buddhism, so court beads were an essential accessory for the ceremonial robes of Qing Dynasty officials and members of the imperial family.
The discovery of this string of court beads once again confirms that these tomb robbers must have robbed Liu Yong's tomb, and these court beads were likely his burial items.
The scene became lively again.
Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong also went up to verify that the string of court beads was indeed genuine and relatively well-preserved.
"The starting bid for this string of Buddhist prayer beads is 60,000 yuan. Those who are interested can place their bids."
As Yuan Laosan predicted, the string of Buddhist beads once again sparked a frenzy, with bids pouring in.
Old He really liked the string of court beads and kept bidding against it. He even made an appointment with Yuan Tiangang in advance to lend him 300,000 yuan, because he was afraid he wouldn't have enough money with him.
Yuan Tiangang had no interest in the Buddhist beads and simply sat and watched the spectacle.
Luo Yunhang and Xiang Tianhong felt extremely uneasy and confused.
Suddenly, a young man at the door shouted, "Boss, bad news, there are cops!"
In an instant, the reactions from all sides were completely different.
Yuan Laosan instinctively wanted to pack up and run away.
Luo Yunhang didn't have time to think. He had been keeping such a close watch, so how could he have been discovered? In the next instant, he made a decision.
The policewoman's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't given a signal yet, so how could they have suddenly discovered the people lying in ambush?
In a moment of desperation, she had no choice but to make a quick decision.
All the guests inside stared blankly at the entrance.
In an instant, the inside was in complete chaos.
Luo Yunhang patted Xiang Tianhong, signaling him to do as he was told and wait for an opportunity to act. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, he got up and quietly circled around to Yuan Laosan's vicinity. However, there were too many people around Yuan Laosan, and he did not have a chance to make a move.
Yuan Laosan was instructing his men to pack up and run away immediately, and had no time to care about his subordinates.
The policewoman immediately pulled out her pistol and fired a shot into the air.
Everyone in the hall was so frightened that they covered their heads and ran away as fast as they could.
Yuan Laosan was so focused on packing his bags and escaping that he missed the best opportunity to capture a hostage and save his own life.
Yuan Tiangang and Xiang Tianhong followed the crowd, carrying their boxes and running desperately outside.
Fortunately, Xiang Tianhong received instructions from Luo Yunhang to run towards the less crowded entrance.
The policewoman and her two companions instantly engaged in a fierce battle with the desperate criminals.
Luo Yunhang couldn't run away. If he stayed, the policemen might still have a chance to survive. If he ran away too, the three of them would be lambs to the slaughter. After all, there was still a sniper hiding in the shadows.
In the split second, the men lying in ambush outside heard the gunshots and immediately rushed inside.
However, due to the large crowd, they were unable to rush in in time.
Only Luo Yunhang and his three companions remained to face off against the dozen or so desperate criminals.
While dodging the people around him, Luo Yunhang kept an eye on the sniper who was hiding. Just as he was about to fire, he predicted where the sniper's bullet would land, helping the police officers dodge round after round of shooting.
This won't do; Luo Yunhang has no choice but to find a way to end this quickly.
He casually knocked one person down, snatched the gun from his hand, and turned to aim at the sniper.
The sniper had noticed him long ago; he had just miraculously helped several policemen dodge his shots, a feat that could be described as divine.
However, the sniper was confident that Luo Yunhang couldn't hit him because Luo Yunhang would change his position and angle after each shot. Searching for him based on the previous bullet holes would be a waste of bullets.
However, he didn't know that Luo Yunhang had X-ray vision and had already accurately predicted his movements.
This will be aimed directly at his head.
He had countless headshot experiences practicing at the shooting range, but this was his first time hitting a real person on the head. However, Luo Yunhang had no choice. This sniper was a huge threat, and with him around, none of them would survive.
In this life-or-death struggle, he couldn't care less about anything else and ruthlessly pulled the trigger.
The group only saw him fire one shot before quickly joining the battle, unaware that the sniper who had been secretly threatening them had not launched another attack.
He was shot in the head by Luo Yunhang and was now lying in a pool of blood.
Old Yuan, along with his treasures that he had painstakingly unearthed from the ground and a few of his men, prepared to fight his way out through a side door and escape.
He left only seven or eight men to fight Luo Yunhang and his three companions.
Seeing this, Luo Yunhang thought to himself that he couldn't let him leave, otherwise today's battle would have been for nothing.
He steeled himself and shouted to the policewoman, "I'm going after them, you guys hold them off."
The policewoman didn't have time to think too much and said gratefully, "Thanks, brother."
Luo Yunhang hurriedly chased after them, leaving the battlefield behind to the others, and went to pursue Yuan Laosan alone.
His X-ray vision could cover almost the entire courtyard. He noticed that Yuan Laosan led his men through the side door that he had previously instructed Xiang Tianhong to use.
He quickly chased after him and followed him all the way.
Using his X-ray vision and the visual difference that others couldn't see him, he eliminated the three people around Yuan Laosan in one fell swoop.
This left Yuan Laosan with only one commander.
Old Yuan was terrified by his unpredictable appearances.
"Who's playing tricks? Show yourself!"
Luo Yunhang was out of bullets, so he decided to stand up openly and honestly.
"I'm here!"
Yuan Laosan glared at him fiercely: "I never thought I would lose to a brat like you."
"You took care of the second one too, didn't you?" He had noticed the sniper had been taken out a while ago, but he didn't even have time to grieve; he could only save himself first.
"Yes!" Luo Yunhang readily admitted.
Yuan Laosan threw the bundle and valuables in his hand onto the ground.
He simply ripped open his clothes.
"Then you shall die with me! Be buried with our brothers!"
Several bundles of grenades were clearly strapped to his stomach.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Laosan pulled the safety button.
Luo Yunhang's pupils contracted in fright.
Seriously? He's serious? He's not ready to die yet!
