Chapter 184. Ill-gotten wealth will be guarded by justice
The copper box is very thin, and inside the copper box is a square gold ingot with a small circle.
Wang Qiang and Xing San thought it was a gold nugget, but when Wang Qiang took it out, they found that it was a gold box.
Wang Qiang took out the gold box and felt something shaking inside.
"Brother." Wang Qiang handed the gold box to Xing San. Xing San shook it gently in his hand and felt that there was something like gravel inside.
Xing San rushed to Wang Qiang, and the two returned to the two white naughty trees. They saw Xing San sitting on the box containing the explosives, and Wang Qiang sat on the other box, which was the box containing the detonators.
Xing San pulled out the knife from his waist, tapped the handle of the knife twice on the lid of the box, then tapped twice on each side, and finally tried to open the lid.
The lid is buckled very tightly, but the old man has strong hands and is very steady.
When the lid was opened, Wang Qiang couldn't help frowning when he saw what was inside, and said, "What is this? Gold sand?"
There was golden powder inside, and strangely, part of the powder was particles of sparkling gold stars.
Xing San didn't say anything. He used the tip of the knife to gently stir the gold powder, revealing the yellow-white substance underneath, which looked like hard plastic.
This thing is familiar to both Xing San and Wang Qiang. It is dried bear bile skin.
"Holy shit!" Xing San was surprised and cursed, "This is golden bear bile!"
"Ouch!" Wang Qiang slapped his thigh and said, "I remembered, my Aunt Jiang mentioned it."
The Aunt Jiang mentioned by Wang Qiang was the old lady. Xing San heard this and asked quickly: "What did she say?"
"She said that that year Blind Man Yang killed a golden gallbladder." Wang Qiang said, "After that, he sold eighty silver dollars to my father."
"Then this is it." Xing San said, snapping back the lid of the box. It was windy in the mountains, and if the bear bile powder was blown away, it would be in vain.
"Yeah!" Wang Qiang nodded and said, "Looking at his boldness, he must have had some powder picking."
"It's for someone." Xing San handed the gold box to Wang Qiang and said, "You put it in your pocket, but don't lose it."
Wang Qiang responded, put the gold box away, and then said to Xing San: "Brother, how much does that eighty silver dollar cost now?"
"Oh..." Xing San frowned and muttered: "The boss who drove horses for your family before was earning one yuan a month. Now...it's almost thirty yuan."
"Thirty...three-eight-twenty-four..." Wang Qiang did the math and said, "That makes two thousand and four."
"Well, it's not bad." Xing San said this, and then Wang Qiang said: "This courage should be more than that price now. The last time the two men named Zheng came to collect it, what price did they pay for the copper courage?"
"I heard from your sister that there is a golden gall at home?"
.”
"This time I sold the big one to my family, too." Xing San pointed to Wang Qiang's pocket and said, "This one is broken. If you want to keep it, you can keep it."
After saying this, Xing San said: "The boy didn't tell me when he left. If he wants to tell me, I will let him sell the big one."
After hearing what Xing San said, Wang Qiang said: "My eldest nephew said that the bear bile is very powerful in detoxifying. It's a good thing. Let's keep it for ourselves."
"No, Qiangzi."
, went to my place the next day.
I remember that the big gold bile belongs to three families, and the small one belongs to our family. If we keep the big one and sell it to the small one, the two families won’t be able to share the money. Will they feel happy if we see how much we sell it?
?”
Wang Qiang was startled when he heard this, took a long breath of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and said: "No way, brother. The bear bile was killed by Xiaojun, Yuanmin, and Xiaochen. They can still be bigger than me."
Is your nephew jealous?"
"Ill-gotten gains from siege, this is where trouble will start." Xing San puffed out smoke and said, "How many of those two good brothers just supported the siege and ended up breaking up as if they were the same person?"
As he spoke, Xing San pointed to Nanshan and said: "They have a man named Hu Dahai. He used to be a partner with that old foreign cannon from Wynn. Each of them has an old foreign cannon. You can fire one and I can fire one. How much can we do?"
Hei Xiazi? What are you trying to do? If both of you share it equally, then won’t they break up in the end?"
The elders often say that money from hunting is money from killing people. It is considered ill-gotten wealth and there is no way to make a fortune.
Even if you make money in the moment, over time, you will lose it due to various reasons.
Moreover, another characteristic of siege is that it is easy for buddies to break up with each other.
It is said that relatives and friends cannot do business together, and the same is true for siege.
Apart from the factor of money, there are also factors such as competitiveness and mutual jealousy.
The Hu Dahai mentioned by Xing San was Zhao Jun's master in his previous life, and Song Jingui, the old Song Paoist at Wynn, was also the number one figure in the Eighteenth Post.
The two of them were dog gangers in their early years. At that time, the family could not raise too many dogs. It happened that Hu Dahai's family had two dogs and Song Jingui's family had two dogs. The two of them formed a dog gang.
At first, when Hu Dahai first went up the mountain, it was Song Jingui who led Hu Dahai. Later, Song Jingui's leader dog was picked to death by Pao Zizi, and when he messed with Teng's dog and dragged him again, the two's dog gang was led by Hu Dahai's dog.
This situation lasted for more than two years. As Hu Dahai's dog got older, Song Jingui's dog became the leader of the dog gang.
And at that time, Song Jingui had already developed four hunting dogs.
From then on, the hunting gang of these two men was headed by Song Jingui. In the past, when they encountered problems, the two of them discussed it, but later Song Jingui made a decision directly.
But this did not affect the cooperation between the two, until one day, Hu Dahai and his eldest sister's house got wild boars in the corn fields, and Hu Dahai went to Song Jingui's house to pick up the dogs to protect the farmers.
When Hu Dahai arrived at Song's house, he found that Song Jingui's dog was not at home. When Hu Dahai asked, Song Jingui said that he had lent the dog to his uncle.
Hu Dahai asked when the dog would come back, and Song Jingui said three days. But it turned out that after three days and three days, the dog did not come back after waiting for more than ten days. Finally, Song Jingui also went hunting at his uncle's house.
From this moment on, Hu Dahai felt troubled. Within two months, Hu and Song's hunting gang broke up.
At that time, hunting relied on old foreign cannons. It was very troublesome to load ammunition. It could only hit the prey with one blow.
But if Hu and Song cooperate, it will be great. Especially when hunting bears, Hu Dahai is in front and Song Jingui is behind.
Hu Dahai shot out. If the bear was not killed, the bear headed towards Hu Dahai with the gun, and Hu Dahai ran towards Song Jingui.
When he waited in front of the tree where Song Jingui was hiding, Hu Dahai circled back. The bear following behind would definitely hit Song Jingui with a shot.
The two of them cooperated very well, so they killed many bears and made a lot of money, so Hu Dahai was able to raise four sons richly, and Song Jingui's family was able to feed four hunting dogs.
But after they broke up, neither of them could survive. Hu Dahai found it difficult to make money. Song Jingui even lost half of his arm during a bear hunt.
In Zhao Jun's previous life, Hu Dahai talked about this matter with Zhao Jun.
Hu Dahai said that the reason why he was unhappy at first was not because of the dog. It was because he had a feeling that Song Jingui thought he could do it and ignored Hu Dahai. He forgot how Hu Dahai helped him in those two years.
He dragged the four dogs.
But when he told Zhao Jun about this, Hu Dahai regretted it, so he told Zhao Jun that when going up the mountain to fight a siege, people must work together and horses must work together, and there must be no barriers between companions.
Zhao Jun, who had just joined the industry at that time, asked Hu Dahai. When Song Jingui helped him drag Hu Dahai's dog at first, and when Hu Dahai helped Song Jingui drag the dog, if the prey was distributed according to the mountain rules, the person with the leading dog would get an extra share of the spoils.
If so, then those two people would never break up.
But Hu Dahai told Zhao Jun that the two of them would break up faster.
If Song Jingui had taken an extra piece of loot when he helped Hu Dahai drag the dog at the beginning, then when Song Jingui's leader died, Hu Dahai would break up the gang with him and not even help Song Jingui drag the dog.
In the end, Hu Dahai asked Zhao Jun to remember one more sentence, that is: ill-gotten gains from killing people must be guarded by justice.
In 1989, in Zhao Jun's previous life, he only became a disciple of Hu Dahai. At present, Hu Dahai has not yet understood this truth, but Zhao Jun has already applied this principle in this life.
When Wang Meilan first set up a banquet at home and gathered several families over for a roe and fish feast, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, and Xu Chunyan had discussed it. They all said that you would not make a fortune by siege, but in their opinion, this was not necessarily the case.
Because Zhao Jun took Li Baoyu, Zhang Yuanmin, and Xie Chen to make a fortune, but why others didn't make a fortune, and they could make a fortune, and those women didn't know.
The reason is what Hu Dahai said: ill-gotten wealth must be guarded by justice.
And Xing San's considerations are not unreasonable. People's hearts cannot stand trial and error. The knots become more and more knotted, and in the end they really can't be untangled. Family, friendship, and love are all mutual and need to be maintained, brother.
It's good if both of them are good.
In fact, Zhao Jun, who was far away in Anguo, initially thought that the golden gall would be valuable, but he did not expect it to be so valuable.
When he heard shopkeeper Huang's quotation, Zhao Jun had the same concerns as Xing San.
That's why Zhao Jun made an impromptu decision to keep the small gold bladder for his own use. He would sell the big gold bladder when he comes next time, and then split the money with Zhang Yuanmin and Jie Chen.
At this time, in the Huichun Hall, three generations including Mr. Huang, Shopkeeper Huang and Huang Haizhen were sitting around the table drinking tea, while Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and Zhao Weipeng were looking over a large sheet of paper.
All the bear bile Zhao Jun brought, except for the gold bile, was sold for a total of fifty-two thousand eight hundred and thirty yuan.
There were more than 50 stacks of money, and they were checked twice. The four people checked for half an hour. After confirming that the amount of money was correct, they put all the money in the sack.
After loading up the money, Zhao Jun prepared to leave. Shopkeeper Huang offered to visit, but when Zhao Jun declined, shopkeeper Huang, Huang Haizhen and his son sent Zhao Jun and his party out of the Huichun Hall.
Outside the Huichun Hall, the two parties said goodbye to each other and agreed to meet again after the new year.
Then the four Zhao soldiers got into the car, and Jiechen drove all the way back to Jinxi.
It was already past one in the afternoon, and Zhao Jun took out a large pancake from his shoulder bag and distributed it to the three of them.
At this time, not only was there more than 50,000 yuan in the car from the sale of bear bile, but also more than 100,000 yuan from the sale of skins was contained in the large sack behind the back seat of the rear seat.
Fortunately, there are no people smashing cars and stealing bags these days. If you put the money in the car, no one will know about it, so they won't steal it.
However, with a huge sum of nearly 200,000 yuan, Zhao Jun and the four of them were eager to return home. They did not look for a restaurant to eat and drove directly back.
The four of them drove each other in shifts along the way, and they didn't return to Changshan City until after nine o'clock in the evening.
When we arrived at the guest house where we stayed before, we carried the sacks containing the money into the house and stuffed them under the bed.
Zhao Jun and the semi-automatic lay on the kang together, and asked Zhao Weipeng, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to go out and find a place to eat.
The three of them went to the restaurant and ordered four dishes. When ordering, they borrowed a lunch box from the store. When the dishes were served, they put part of each dish in the lunch box.
After the three of them finished eating, they returned with their lunch boxes to Zhao Jun.
…
Zhao Jun just had dinner here, and the Zhao family in Yong'an Village over there.
Zhao Youcai and Xing San were sitting on the kang in the west room. They sat across from each other and smoked, but their eyes were fixed on Wang Meilan, watching Wang Meilan take things out of the sack one by one.
In today's sack, except for the small gold box and the golden bear bile powder, the rest are all bronze items.
Among them, there are only two copper toilets, the one with a narrow mouth is for men, and the one with a square mouth is for women.
In addition, there are copper flasks, kettles, wine glasses, water glasses...
There were some things in it that even Wang Meilan had no impression of.
"This is nothing interesting." Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang, was a little disappointed and said, "It's just scrap metal."
Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Your family doesn't have one yet."
Zhao Youcai looked up with the whites of his eyes and said, "My family's roots are red and the seedlings are growing. How can I have these things?"
Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai again, while Xing San watched the couple quarreling, smiled lightly but said nothing.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was not until Wang Meilan put away all the things that Xing San said to the two of them: "Second brother, younger brother and sister, I have also found this thing, then I will go back tomorrow
.”
"Brother, why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Wang Meilan said: "You have been working hard for several days. You can take a good rest at home tomorrow."
"That's right, brother." Zhao Youcai's reaction was even greater than that of Wang Meilan. He said anxiously: "Why are you leaving? I haven't stayed with you enough, you can't leave!"
It was not easy for Zhao Youcai to say this. But he wanted to keep Xing San, because only if Xing San stayed, he could go up the mountain.
"No!" Xing San waved his hand, then pointed out the window and said, "I have to go back to Lengchang. I have seven or eight big leather cases down there. I have to sneak away!"
"Brother, there's no need to worry." Zhao Youcai said, "Let's sneak away later. The set can't be lost anywhere."
"That's right." Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, and then advised Xing San: "How many people are so wicked that they can slip into others' traps and steal their wild animals?"
Zhao Youcai: "..."
"No, no." Xing San shook his head and said, "If it's a roe deer trap, I really don't care. But the big skin is not like the others. The mother and child are still over a thousand yuan, so you must not let others tease you.
"
After saying this, Xing San put out the cigarette butt and said: "When I finish slipping these condoms and come down again, if I can draw three or five big pieces, I will have all the money for the banquet after the new year."
When Wang Meilan heard this, she was greatly moved. Not to mention whether the family was short of three thousand or five thousand, the old man's kindness was much more precious than three thousand or five thousand.
But after Zhao Youcai heard Xing San's words, he glanced at Wang Meilan.
This prodigal woman of his family has said that when her son gets married next year, she will make a big deal out of it. She will do it for a hundred years in the future and twenty years in the future. In addition to waiting for her eldest grandson to get married, she will do it.
