Still, Wait For Me

Chapter 638: Blackmailed

“Brother Tai Gui name?” Xu Tiansheng asked his graduate brother who was looking in doubt and who was the assistant brought him here.

“Your name is Zhao, Zhao Communist, friends usually like to call me Prince Zhao. ”

“Oh, Prince Zhao. ”

After Xu Tiansheng's journey, he talked to him a lot.

Almost to the destination, Prince Zhao suddenly raised his voice between the conversations and said: “My father is here in the neighboring county government department as the leader. If you need anything here, please call me and go out to play something else, I can also be a bodyguard and tour guide. ”

With this voice and tone, and bodyguards and all that, Xu Tiansheng knew that he was definitely not saying this to himself, but to the girls in the car.

The car stopped at the excavation site without the imaginary monumental forests and hills, just a small slope, a few narrow holes, and the students, including the press corps, were somewhat disappointed.

However, this may be in line with the description of Cao Cao of the Romantic Squadron of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Mengde, doubtful in his nature, did not make the burial too conspicuous, seems more reasonable.

In fact, some of the experts on the mission have already visited in advance, and preparations for the early stages have already begun.

Together with locally recruited workers and staff, peripheral debris has been cleared, and an iron shed has been erected over the entire grave to protect it and to facilitate rainy operations.

There is a big difference between the excavation of Cao Cao's tomb in this life and previous life: there is money.

The exhumation of Cao Cao's tomb in the previous life was organized locally and financed by the county government. The chief officer interviewed on a daily basis was only the secretary of the village. The exhumation process was too long, and he also encountered several funding problems.

But in this world, money, it's not a problem at all, because, unprecedented, Star Technology, as a private enterprise, sponsored an archaeological excavation.

So it hasn't been tapped yet, and people are already interested online, calling it one of the most luxurious archaeological excavations in history. This is best supported by the whole team's food, accommodation, tool calls, staffing, and two RVs parked off-site.

A private enterprise can spend money on rescue excavations that support academic research and ancient tombs, and the stars are simply too positive.

The team of experts gathered a shadow outside the tomb and were ready to go back to the hotel to rest.

This is Xu Tiansheng's opinion, the old men are not young, you have to be careful... Maybe Cao Cao didn't dig it up, fill in a few things here first, then it's a big joke.

Students from the press corps came together.

The webcast was launched from the outset of the excavation, but the current burial site is clearly unattractive and insufficient.

It was suggested that some local objects, such as terroir, geography, history and humanities, should be photographed… and that some anecdotes about the ancient tombs should be presented, as well as interviews.

This is a common narrative technique used in documentaries, and there was quick agreement within the press corps.

Prince Zhao waited for his chance.

“So, I'll take care of all this... you just have to send a car," said Prince Zhao. "I'll take care of all the rest to make sure the road is clear and everything goes smoothly. If you need help from some department, I'll have my dad make a phone call. He's got a lot of friends. ”

“Why don't I take you to dinner first?” He continued, "And let's switch phones so you can call me if you need me. ”

Just as Prince Zhao applied his somewhat impatient and somewhat lame technique of picking girls, on the other hand, a staff member accompanying the mission was talking to two police officers and three people claiming to be from nearby villages.

“You guys are so big, you need security, right?” A policeman looked up and said.

“Yes, we are trying to communicate with the local authorities.” Staff said.

“What else are we talking about, the two of us, the local police station, the three brothers in the back, right next to the village... this is our land, you can't find anyone better than us, you know?” Another policeman intervened.

“What do you mean? ”

“We mean, don't bother with that, security. We'll get a police and civilian cooperative security patrol to take care of you. Guaranteed safety."

“Thank you so much, thank you, thank you.” There is still a wide gap between the staff of these official research departments and those of other government departments, who have not yet heard the smell.

“Don't be hasty," he said, knowing that he had met a young melon, a policeman lit a cigarette and smiled lightly. "Now that you have no problem with it, let's talk about wages. ”

“Wages? This, locally...” The staff hasn't reacted yet.

“What, you're the big lords from up here, we have to give it up in the place? ”

The staff shook hands and said, “That's not what I mean. I mean, this thing is in itself coordinated with us locally...”

“Coordination? Who's coordinating with us? This is our territory.” Three villagers like him shouted and looked like idle men and skinheads.

“So, how much do you want?” The staff was besieged and weakened.

“How much? Twenty grand a day. After all, we'll have dozens of people day and night.” The other side said.

In fact, this is a process of asking for a price, sitting down to repay the money, but team members don't understand, and get excited when they hear the offer, "20,000 a day? You guys are simply blackmail...”

After that, he was immediately pushed.

“What do you mean, blackmail? I warn you, you can eat and you can't talk. ”

The staff took a few steps, “Well, we don't need your help, do we? ”

“Okay.”

The two officers retreated to smoke while the three idle men came to the top of their skins, looked up and shouted:

“I don't think these old men are young enough. Remember to tell them not to wander around. If they fall, step on a cannon or something, they'll probably die. ”

“Oops, so many little girls... you have to keep an eye on this, we are a lot of barebacks, you will never see such a young girl in your life, you will not have the impulse to die... we do not know what is going to happen. ”

Naked threats.

This turbulence has drawn everyone's attention. The staff member was called back and asked about the situation.

After listening to the staff member's description, some of the old professors with a big temper and a blast of justice were a little excited and anxious to move on to the theory.

Xu Tiansheng hurriedly stopped them back. This is not something they can handle. Learning and reputation are useless here. Faced with the black cops and the spitting, they really are going to go, they may have to faint.

People are always more accustomed to news or rumours that ordinary people are oppressed by power, but the fact is that entrepreneurs invest off-site in extortion is something that most people who do business outside have experienced or seen or heard.

As for private road tolls in some places, they haven't even counted as news in years.

Not to mention that individuals, even construction companies belonging to large state-owned groups, have caused major problems when building bridges locally because they did not provide enough benefits, and the local government eventually had to put the bridge plans on hold.

When Xu Tingsheng was studying at Jianan University in his previous life, the University City was still under construction, just because there was no selection of low-quality, high-priced sandstone materials at a local corner in the procurement of materials, frequent beatings of transport personnel and construction workers at construction sites, and the destruction of raw materials. After several stoppages and investigations… the University City side chose to compromise and purchase the other party's sandstone materials at a high price, this counted.

In contrast to the above, what is happening now can only be considered a minor problem.

Xu Tiansheng comforted several old professors.

Yan Zhenyura pulled him up and said, "We are a family matter. How dare they? ”

“Dare”, Xu Tiansheng smiled, “First, we are not local institutions and personnel, nor are we entitled to energy units. In the eyes of the people in some places, you are not as good as the local police station even if you hold a bigger name; secondly, all aspects of us this time seem too rich... so why should they try to get oil and water? On the one hand, the rogue is accustomed to being arrogant, a little brave, and not afraid of trouble; on the other hand, gambling that we won't count this small sum of money. ”

“Little money? 20,000 a day... we can't do this in a few days. If it's a long time, how many millions? ”

“Not so scary. If I were to, I'd give them two or three grand a day, and they'd actually be happy to accept it.” Xu Tiansheng said.

“What are you going to do? ”

“Don't give it to me. ”

Xu Tinsheng appeased several expert professors at this moment, and the sound of the conflict on the other side suddenly grew louder.

Turning around, a man named Zhao, a man named Xiao Yingxu, did not know when he was already on top of each other.

Mr. Zhao was holding his cell phone and shouting: “I'll call my father, you wait, wait...”

Xiao Yanxu carried the camera and was shooting, while righteously accusing each other: “Afraid that it is not up to you, this is the rule of law society, when you are on the news... I see who can protect you, you will return it to the police? Remember, you were just threatening our physical safety. ”

The two policemen had long since retreated to one side, while the other three were screaming and scolding, looking forward to the top to see that they were about to do it.

One pushed Prince Zhao and said: “Hit me, hit me... I'll see who you can scream. ”

One is going to rob Xiao Yanxu of the camera on his shoulder.

One against his knee is a kick...

If they do this now, they will almost certainly lose money. Even if Xiao Xiao Xu reported the matter afterwards, the worst result of the other party is that they will only be detained for a few days. If they suffer a few dark spots, they will not be able to bear it.

And really, it's not a good thing to carry out the whole excavation work. After all, the other party is actually right. This is their ground. The skinned snake on the ground is also a ground snake and can add a little chaos to you at any time.

Xu Tingsheng hastily pulled Prince Zhao and Xiao Huanxu back one by one.

“You call in the back.” Mr. Xu first pushed Mr. Zhao.

Fortunately, Prince Zhao also understood the downhill donkey, knowing that if he sustained hard and was beaten more disgracefully, assuming that Xu Tiansheng pushed him very hard, one stumbled behind the people's heap.

“You go back there, too.” Xu Tingsheng pulled a handful of Xiao Yanxu.

“Why?” Xiao Yanxu turned his head and shouted. He also spilled fire on Xu Tiansheng's head.

Xu Tinsheng smiled and said, “Don't lose. ”

Xiao Yanxu said, "Loss? I'll see if they dare. ”

“They dare, this is definitely not the first time they've done it, knowing that the costs and consequences can be borne by themselves," Xu Tinsheng said, "You talk to them about the moral rule of law, it's useless, a situation in one place. ”

“Really?” Xiao Yanxu chuckled. “I'm sorry, I don't believe it. I don't need any trouble, Mr. Xu. A few small policemen, a few miserable people..."

“That's the logic, if it was a county leader facing your camera now, he would be scared... but they..." “Xu Tinsheng showed the three shirt buttons all open and peeled," they weren't that scared... so let me do it. ”

Xu Tiansheng backed away with Xiao Xianxu.

“What is President Xu going to do? ”

“I try to settle this as well as I can, so as not to get into any trouble later. ”

“Hire a bodyguard or hit them with money? ”

“It's not impossible to really pay. ”

“Ha, I thought Xu always had a better idea. Can I give you money? I'd say you're the kind of person who fuels this culture. ”

“… would you please put away your elite philosophy for a moment and stand back. ”

Xiao Xianxu was a little impatient, and Xu Tiansheng was also a little impatient. He raised his face and said a serious word. Then, instead of waiting for Xiao Xianxu to torment him again, he turned to the five men.

In fact, Xu Tiansheng is not the right person to negotiate on such occasions alone. If Old Jin or Huang Yaming were present, the aura of Jianghu on their own, the other party would know that the people in front of them are not messy, and the conversation would be much smoother.

And Xu Tiansheng is so good to them... sometimes it's not good.

It was just a comparison, a bunch of old scholars plus a bunch of students, and nobody was better suited than him.

“What, you want to talk about it?” A policeman returned to his sight with a cigarette and said, "Let the boy turn off the camera first. ”

“Okay," Xu Tiansheng turned around to ask Xiao Yanxu's people to turn off the camera and said, "Can I see your police ID? ”

The policeman looked at Xu Tiansheng and said with a smile: "Looks like you're still alive. Okay, look at that.” He pulled out the police badge with no hesitation.

Xu Tiansheng took over the police license and flipped it.

“What, are you kidding me? ”

“It's true.” Xu Tiansheng said.

“Can we start talking about money now? ”

“Let's wait. ”

“Wait?” "Police stall,“ what? You're not as stupid as those two boys, are you? ”

He is implying that Xu Tiansheng, since I dare to pull out my police card, don't you understand? We dare not be so rude without anyone holding our back... Since we dare to do so, we are not afraid of you calling the police or anything.

It feels like in some years, when visitors encounter those “famous tourist destinations," it's never useful to call the police.

“I know, but wait a minute. ”

“Who the hell are you waiting for? ”

The man shoved Xu Tiansheng in the chest.

Xu Tiansheng took a few steps back, “We'll talk about it when your county leadership is present. ”

The other side stunned, "You mean, the county leadership? Are you okay with that? This time you guys are doing this thing, everything's bypassing the place. There are a lot of people who aren't happy, you understand? Am I clear enough? ”

“Or do you think we're stupid?” Another policeman said beside him.

There appears to be a problem with coordination at the local level. It's one thing for a place to bite its own teeth like it was in a previous life, but it's another thing for a place to bypass directly like this, not to give any good, not to give any face, not even to say hello.

At the same time, the excavation team itself is not a very powerful authority… local attitudes are naturally not too respectful and considerate.

It turns out it's a scholar's business. It doesn't make sense at all. Xu Tiansheng sighed in his mind.

“I can understand what you mean, but it's still coming... let's wait a little longer.” Xu Tiansheng smiled.

The other five laughed, ridiculously silent.

Wu Yue Vera whispered to Rush Ting Sheng, “Are you sure you want to come? Prince Zhao's father said let's go to the city, why don't we sneak up to the city and call the police? ”

“Not yet. I think they should come, as long as they're not stupid.” Xu Tiansheng said.

A convoy of two sedans, a van, appeared on a distant road.
