Chapter 371 Descendants of the Jiang family?
Although the Shuzhou Museum underwent a major reshuffle, they made a major breakthrough in archaeology and solved a major transnational trafficking case of cultural relics.
As the acting curator Xu Chunfeng, he lives up to his name and is very proud of himself, so he specially organized this dinner.
He chose the most luxurious manor hotel in the area and hosted a banquet for everyone who participated in this archaeological operation.
At six o'clock in the evening, at the gate of the manor, Xu Chunfeng and his secretary were waiting for the distinguished guests.
After a while, an official car with the name of Shuzhou Cultural Relics Bureau drove into the main road of the manor.
They stopped at the entrance of the manor, and a staff member immediately came over and opened the car door.
Four people got out of the car.
They are the distinguished guests Xu Chunfeng wants to welcome!
But Xu Chunfeng walked straight towards the young man among them.
"Master Lin, I finally meet you!" Xu Chunfeng had already heard Lin Ran's story.
Lin Ran was a little confused when he saw Xu Chunfeng.
Zhang Ju, who was driving, handed the key to the waiter and asked him to park the car, and he quickly introduced it.
"This is Xu Chunfeng, the acting director of Shuzhou Museum. He was originally the deputy director. After Ren Senping stepped down, he took over this position." Director Zhang introduced.
Xu Chunfeng was afraid of being misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin. Ren Senping and I have always had management differences, and we have also expressed doubts about the theft of a large number of cultural relics in the museum! Can you help us find the culprit this time? , thank you so much!”
He immediately took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Ran.
Lin Ran smiled and said, "It is also an honor for me to help your library solve your problems."
"As expected of Mr. Lin, he is a person of grace!" Xu Chunfeng praised him with a smile.
"But I still hope that you can strengthen the prevention system in the future and not allow such people to appear in the team again." Lin Ran reminded softly.
"Of course, of course!" Xu Chunfeng nodded quickly and looked at the three people behind him.
When he saw Jiang Hao, the other party couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Mr. Jiang, are you there too?"
"No more polite words, just talk to the kids." Jiang Hao obviously didn't want to talk to him.
Xu Chunfeng made an invitation gesture and invited Lin Ran and his party to the banquet.
There were a total of ten tables of guests in the private room of the Manor Hotel.
Lin Ran followed Xu Chunfeng's guidance and originally arranged for Lin Ran to take the main seat.
However, Jiang Hao and others were arranged in the guest seats.
Lin Ran asked: "Why are they sitting over there?"
"Little Master Lin, you have just entered the workplace and don't know much about it." Xu Chunfeng said with a smile, "We are all people in the formal establishment. You see, the special commissioner of the Palace Museum, the director of Shuzhou Museum, and I am not a talented person. , Director of Shuzhou Archaeological Bureau."
Lin Ran disagreed and said, "Aren't they also members of the archaeological team?"
"They are part-time monks and non-staff members." Bureau Zhang explained, "According to the rules, they can only sit in the guest seats."
"Forget it, Expert Lin, it doesn't matter where you sit." Jiang Hao and Fatty prepared to take their seats at the guest seats. Xu Chunfeng looked very pleased and thought they were sensible.
Lin Ran stood up and followed them to the guest table.
"Master Lin, what are you doing?" Xu Chunfeng asked in confusion.
"We came together, and if we want to sit down, we have to sit together." Lin Ran came to where Jiang Hao and the others were doing.
The fat man immediately stood up and asked him to sit next to him, while Jiang Hao opened his seat a little further to make room for Lin Ran.
Xu Chunfeng looked a little surprised when he saw Jiang Hao being so polite from a distance.
Director Zhang didn't object. With Lin Ran here, it would be hard for them, the old-timers of the system, to take credit and brag.
Lin Ran took the initiative to ask to change to another position, which was the best thing.
The banquet began. Director Zhang first went on stage to talk about chariots, and then announced the start of the banquet.
The total value of the cultural relics excavated this time is as high as 200 million. Although the Shuzhou Museum suffered heavy losses before, it made up for it this time and recovered the cultural relics in time.
So, everyone stood up and raised their cups towards Lin Ran's position to express their gratitude.
But that was all. After the toast, they were left alone.
But they are also happy and comfortable.
The fat man took the initiative to pour wine for Lin Ran and said, "Expert Lin, it's really thanks to you this time. Otherwise, let alone revenge, I'm afraid we would all die in the grave."
Jiang Hao also raised his cup: "Expert Lin gave me this life. Whatever you ask me to do in the future, I will do it without any hesitation."
"Now that you are so familiar with it, don't call me expert, call me Brother Lin." Lin Ran responded with a smile: "Okay, let's have a drink together."
"Come, let's toast Brother Lin together." Jiang Hao immediately answered.
He and Fatty no longer had the tense atmosphere in the mausoleum. After this life and death test, they had established initial trust.
After the fat man finished drinking, he spilled a glass on the ground: "Liuzi, you can rest in peace underground, Yama Gui will definitely not end well."
Seeing that the topic was about to become serious, Jiang Hao immediately changed his attention.
He looked at Lin Ran and asked, "Are Brother Lin from a family of tomb robbers?"
Lin Ran almost spit out the wine in his mouth and quickly explained: "My parents are just ordinary farmers and don't know anything about tomb robbing."
"Ordinary farmers?" Jiang Hao and the other three stared.
Can ordinary farmers cultivate young people with such high level of skills in grave digging and treasure appraisal?
Lin Ran smiled: "As the ancients said, do princes, generals, and Xiang Ning have the seed? Of course, heroes don't care about birth."
Hearing Lin Ran's words, the fat man burst out laughing, which made Lin Ran a little confused.
"What's so funny?" Lin Ran thought Fatty was a realist.
At this moment, Xu Chunfeng from the museum came over to toast.
He took off his suit jacket and put it behind the chair, then picked up a glass and poured himself some wine.
The first thing he did was to toast Jiang Hao.
"Brother Jiang, I have wronged you this time." He apologized and drank the wine in one gulp.
Jiang Hao had a calm expression, nodded silently, and drank the wine in his glass.
Xu Chunfeng is now the director of the museum, and he actually takes the initiative to toast a native scholar?It didn't quite fit with Lin Ran's understanding of them.
Fatty took the opportunity to explain: "Brother Lin, do you know who the Haozi family is?"
"What character?"
Xu Chunfeng quickly explained: "Little Lin, does everyone know about the Tianshui Jiang family?"
Tianshui Jiang's...
Lin Ran suddenly felt an electric current passing through his body: "Is Brother Jiang Hao a descendant of Jiang Wei?"
"It's just a side branch." Jiang Hao waved his hand.
"Because it is the Han Mausoleum, we asked Jiang Hao to take action, but we don't want to encounter this kind of thing." Xu Chunfeng said apologetically, "Brother Jiang, I will never let you do such dangerous things again in the future. Otherwise, consider Go back to your brother and do your work."
"No need, I'm living a good life now." Jiang Hao didn't want to bring up the topic of his family anymore.
Jiang Hao, who usually looked bohemian, now had a rare hint of melancholy on his face.
Xu Chunfeng seemed to find the atmosphere a bit awkward, so he made an excuse to leave after finishing his drink.
It was rare that something could shock Lin Ran, and Jiang Hao's identity was one of them.
After Xu Chunfeng left, he asked Jiang Hao: "Your family has such a background, why do you still want to be a local master?"
"What's wrong with the native master?" Jiang Hao looked at Jiang Yu with a smile.
Jiang Yu also answered: "We are just digging for the truth of history, not to make money."
"Haozi, if your brother is willing to help us, just come out and kill Xu Yuchen directly." The fat man tried to liven up the atmosphere.
Jiang Hao shook his head: "It's impossible. After all, it involves official matters, and what can be done is limited. Brother Lin's method is better, cutting the grass and roots."
"Okay, let's not talk about those unlucky things today. Guess how much reward we can get for this million-dollar cultural relic?" The fat man smiled and rubbed his hands.
This time they have made great contributions to the country, and Jiang Hao was appointed as an engineer to continue the archaeological work on the tomb.
Rather than receiving a reward, Lin Ran hoped to find out the true identity of the tomb owner quickly. The answer to another piece of dusty history was about to be revealed!
