"Big Brother Huang, don't be in a hurry. Tell me slowly, what happened?”When Huang Linsheng came over, he helped Cheng Qingyu. Finally, he did not have to be teased by Li Luo anymore.

Ye Fan took a bottle of water from the car and handed it to Huang Linsheng."Brother Huang, what's going on? Is it about the lost cultural relics?”

He knew that Huang Linsheng wouldn't have come looking for them if it was something else. Only when it was about cultural relics would Huang Linsheng have a reason to look for them.

As expected, Huang Linsheng drank a mouthful of water and panted. He hurriedly said,""Master Ye, this is bad. I just found out about it. Other than the seven of us who entered the tomb at the beginning, many other villagers later discovered this place.”

At this point, whether it was Ye Fan or Li Luo, their hearts sank. They knew that things were going to be bad.

"Are you saying that a large number of cultural relics have been lost and are now in the hands of the villagers?”Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.

Huang Linsheng hurriedly nodded and said,""We didn't know at first, but just now, many strangers came to the village and asked about the cultural relics. Now they are at the village entrance, and many villagers went to ask about the price.”

Li Luo's eyes turned cold, and there was a look of anger in his eyes."Some villagers have already sold their relics?”

"Not yet. Just now, Big Brother Dashun and Master Ye went to Zhang Kun Ming's house together. Big Brother Dashun and I had nothing to do, so we planned to go back. When we reached the village entrance, those people had just started to collect them. Big Brother Dashun saw that things were not looking good, so he stopped them and asked me to invite Specialist Li over.”Huang Linsheng was sweating profusely and looked anxious.

"Good, it's good that you're stable." When he heard that the sale of cultural relics had been stopped by Huang Dashun, Li Luo shouted,""Ye Fan, Xiao Yu, let's go over immediately. We can't let those cultural relics traffickers take the country's cultural relics.”

Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu nodded in tacit understanding and followed Li Luo to the village entrance. Huang Linsheng led the way.

Before leaving, Li Luo did not forget to call Yang Yu. After all, Yang Yu was his right-hand man. He might be able to help. After all, one more person meant more power.

A group of people rushed to the village entrance. At this time, Huang Dashun was confronting some cultural relics traffickers. Both sides were angry and started cursing.

"Get out of here. Cultural relics belong to the country. Who do you think you are to come to our village and behave atrociously? If you don't get out, I'll get someone to break your legs.”Huang Dashun's angry curses could be heard from afar.

Faced with Huang Dashun's scolding, the cultural relic seller naturally refused to be outdone.""We're businessmen. We'll go wherever there's goods. Who are you to care about this? Don't think that just because we're foreigners, you can bully us. If you get angry and get into a fight, you won't be able to bear the consequences.”

The cultural relic seller was a shrewd person. He knew that he couldn't go head-on with Huang Dashun. After all, this was his territory. Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell from the attitude of the other villagers that he was someone with status in the village. They couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only use the name of the police to pressure them.

If it was someone else, they might be intimidated by these old foxes, but Huang Dashun had experienced everything in the past few years. From a poor boy who had nothing, after ten years of hard work, he had already become a prominent figure in the county. Huang Dashun really wanted to slap the cultural relic seller twice when he saw him using the police to suppress him.

"If they fight, who knows if the police will come?”Huang Dashun seemed to be asking this question in return. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he took a step forward and stretched out his palm, wanting to climb down."I'll beat you up. What can you do to me?”

Halfway through the slap, someone suddenly grabbed his arm. Huang Dashun flew into a rage and turned around to curse.

When he turned his head, he saw that it was Ye Fan who was holding him back, and Li Luo was standing at the side. Huang Dashun's expression instantly returned to normal, and he said with a smile,"Master Ye, Specialist Li, you're finally here. These bunch of losers are driving me crazy.”

Huang Dashun pointed at the cultural relics dealers with his other finger. It seemed like he really wanted to go up and slap them each.

Putting down Huang Dashun's arm, Ye Fan advised,"Big Brother Huang, it's not worth getting angry over such a small matter. It's been hard on you. Leave the rest to me and Uncle Li.”

"Are you here to collect cultural relics?”Ye Fan turned his head and said to those people. There were a total of eight people on the other side, all of whom were middle-aged men in their forties.

Second-hand peddler? Hearing Ye Fan's address, those few people immediately glared at each other: "Young man, be polite. Everyone is just doing this to make a living. There's no need to say such harsh words.”

Ye Fan smiled playfully." Everyone, I think Brother Dashun has already made it clear to you. The cultural relics here belong to the government. You have no right to take the things here."”

"If you say it's from the government, then so be it? Young man, don't be so sure. Before the government starts mining, what the people get belongs to the people. They have the right to buy and sell, and we can buy it too.”The person who spoke was the one who had quarreled with Huang Dashun just now.

Ye Fan touched his chin thoughtfully. He did not object and continued,"You're right. This is indeed a loophole in the law and a problem left over from history.”

That person saw that Ye Fan had signs of giving in and chuckled. As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. He thought that Ye Fan wanted to give him a way out, so he introduced himself,"Little brother, my name is Han Jianmin. I'm selling antiques to earn some money. This time, I hope you can be magnanimous.”

Guessing this person's thoughts, Ye Fan thought to himself that he was really an idiot. He smiled and said,"My name is Ye Fan. I'm making a living at the Cultural Relics Bureau. We've already started digging here.”

His shocking words shocked the cultural relics dealers. They thought that they had bumped into the muzzle of a gun.

"Little brother, you must be joking. Elder brother's heart is not good, so I can't joke about this.”Han Jianmin said with a smile. It was obvious that he did not believe Ye Fan's words.

"This is my work permit.”Seeing that the other party did not believe him, Yang Yu went forward and showed the other party his work permit.

As for Ye Fan saying that he was from the Cultural Relics Bureau, Yang Yu did not take it to heart. Anyone could see that Li Luo wanted to rope Ye Fan into the Cultural Relics Bureau. As long as Ye Fan was willing, he could enter the Cultural Relics Bureau at any time.

Although the Cultural Relics Bureau was not easy to enter, with Li Luo's recommendation and Ye Fan's true talent, it was not difficult to enter the Cultural Relics Bureau.

He looked at Yang Yu suspiciously and took the work permit from him. In fact, when he first saw Yang Yu, his heart was a little nervous because Yang Yu was wearing the work uniform of the archaeological team. He was a second-hand dealer who sold cultural relics all year round. He naturally recognized him.

After carefully looking at the work permit and exchanging a few words with the other cultural relics dealers, Han Jianmin finally chose to retreat."I didn't know that your bureau had already begun to excavate this place. We were rude. We'll leave now.”

After saying that, Han Jianmin and the other seven people left dejectedly.

As for the villagers who wanted to sell the cultural relics, they could not get a word in. Firstly, they did not know the value of these things and thought that they would only be worth a few hundred yuan at most.

There was another important point. They were just ordinary people. Huang Dashun said that the things belonged to the government and that they were stealing the country's property. He suppressed them all with one sentence.

Seeing the cultural relic seller leave, Ye Fan heaved a sigh of relief.

This matter seemed simple, but the process was extremely dangerous. If they were careless and reacted, they would not have left in such a dejected manner.

First, Huang Dashun's imposing manner intimidated the cultural relics dealers. When Huang Dashun's prestige had not subsided, Ye Fan, Li Luo, and Yang Yu just happened to arrive.

Ye Fan first provoked the anger in their hearts with the words 'second-hand trafficker', making them treat him as a young kid. If it was a wily person, who would act like a gangster and expose others 'shortcomings as soon as they came?

The term " second-hand peddler " was just a simple word, but who would be willing to be addressed as a second-hand peddler instead of a businessman?

To them, this was an insult. Ye Fan had grasped their feelings. First, he made the other party look down on him by addressing him. Then, he changed the topic. When Han Jianmin said that before the government excavated the cultural relics, the people could buy and sell them. Ye Fan was pretending to be strong.

When he followed the other party's words, the other party had already regarded him as a capable person. This was also the time when the other party's mental defense was the weakest. Ye Fan once again seized this opportunity and bluntly said that he was from the Cultural Relics Bureau. The tomb here had already begun to be excavated.

First, he showed weakness to make the other party lower their guard against him. Then, he revealed his identity as the Cultural Relics Bureau to make the other party nervous. He felt that he could not afford to offend him, so he could only leave dejectedly.

In fact, if they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they would naturally understand the key point.

"If you have already started digging here, then how did these villagers take out the cultural relics? Naturally, they had already taken them out before you came.

As long as the villagers were united and refused to admit that this was not taken out from the tomb, they would raise the price and naturally be able to take the cultural relic. However, Ye Fan had already calculated all of this accurately, so he naturally would not let them succeed.

It could be said that the moment Ye Fan arrived, he had already calculated everything accurately and firmly grasped their weakness. Everything that happened after that was just going according to his plan.
