Erdan looked at Ruan Shiwu in surprise, and glanced sideways at Ruan Qingqing, only to see her quickly lower her head in fear.
"Village Chief Ruan, who told you about that cultural relic? Could it be Qingqing, a big-mouthed person?" Erdan walked up with a smile on his face.
When Ruan Shiwu saw that Erdan was still calling Qingqing, he immediately said with a straight face: "Boy, don't call me Qingqing. Did you also call me Qingqing? If it weren't for the sake of Qingqing interceding for you, if you didn't
Return the cultural relics and I will call the police to arrest you."
Erdan was stunned for a moment, then he came to Ruan Shiyou with a smile, frowned and said: "Village Chief, please don't be so sullen. Who did you listen to that told me to take away this cultural relic? I
Are you that badass?"
Ruan Qingqing raised her head guiltily, her face flushed, and she felt very uncomfortable. After taking a look at Erdan, she quickly lowered her head and clasped her fingers in both hands, looking very panicked.
Ruan Shiqiu didn't want to explain too much, so he stared at Erdan and said, "Don't talk so much. You saved our fellow villagers. I'm grateful to you from the bottom of my heart. But regarding the cultural relics, don't give me a bad look here. If I see
If you don’t arrive, I will send you to the police station.”
Erdan smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Village Chief, you can misunderstand me once in the hospital. Although I look like a jerk, like a troublesome person in the mountains, I don't want to misunderstand me twice."
Ruan Shihu was just stunned for a moment, but nodded and said: "Those are two different things. Don't get me involved. If you can't bring out the cultural relics, then we will just do business."
Erdan knew that Ruan Shiqiu was a hot-tempered person and was well-known as a good village chief, so he bowed and led the way: "Village Chief Ruan, don't you believe me? Then let's go and have a look!"
The two sisters Ruan Qingqing and Ruan Jiaojiao were stunned. Ruan Shiwu was also confused by Erdan. He didn't expect that Erdan would be so cheerful.
Erdan directly pressed the previous mechanism in front of Village Chief Ruan and the others. As the mechanism slowly opened, a new deep pit appeared.
Looking at the restored scene below, Ruan Qingqing was a little shocked. Looking at Ruan Jiaojiao, she couldn't make up her mind.
Walking down, Erdan opened the coffin, pointed at the silk and some jewelry and gold inside and said with a smile: "Village Chief Ruan, are these the things you are talking about?"
Ruan Shiyou glared at his daughter fiercely, frowned and said, "That's right! This is the thing. I didn't expect it to still be in your hands!"
"My good village chief, why do you still have it in my hands? This is a national cultural relic, how dare I touch it!"
Ruan Shiqi felt very embarrassed after being slapped in the face, but he couldn't admit defeat in front of Erdan. After all, he also wanted to save face.
He walked up to his daughter Ruan Qingqing and said, "It's so outrageous. What are you talking about?"
Ruan Qingqing was very aggrieved. She had clearly come over to see that the things here had been emptied, but now they appeared intact again, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Brother Erdan, I came over this morning to take a look. There is absolutely nothing here. You must have brought this back just now."
Erdan came up to Ruan Qingqing, frowned, shrugged and said aggrievedly: "Qingqing, how can you say that to me? It was the two of us who discovered this thing. Come and take a look at it. It's
It's not exactly the same as the location we found before, these things have not been moved, please check carefully."
Ruan Qingqing was very surprised. These things were indeed very consistent with the places in her memory, as if they had not been moved at all.
But she really came here this morning and found that it had been emptied out. Erdan must have been brought back. But what shocked and horrified her was that even if it was brought back, it could still be put back in its original position. Such a person
It's really so scary.
How could she dare to refute again? Seeing her father's dark eyes, she could only eat the bitter fruit.
Seeing Village Chief Ruan walking up, Erdan chased after him and said, "Village Chief, can you listen to me?"
Ruan Shiyou looked at Erdan, then at Su Qingtianmin and others, and couldn't help but nodded defensively and said: "Tell me! What's going on!"
Erdan quickly smiled and said: "This is considered a cultural relic, but it cannot be considered a cultural relic, because this is not the tomb of a big shot. It is probably the burial items of a wealthy businessman's wife in the past. In view of the current situation, I have two suggestions."
Ruan Shiwu was stunned for a moment, stared at Erdan, smiled, folded his hands on his chest, nodded and said, "What suggestions do you have? Let me hear them."
"The first is to directly notify the relevant departments and ask them to take over and hand over the jewelry and gold to the government. The second is to hide the matter and use it as funds for Ruanjia Village to get rich next."
If Erdan had said that he wanted to share it or keep it as his own, Ruan Shiwu would have refuted it long ago.
But when I heard what he said, I was still a little moved. However, he was a cadre and knew the importance of the matter, so he waved his hand and said, "Then let's take the first option!"
Erdan nodded, sighed and said, "It's okay to hand it over to the government, but Village Chief Ruan, can you guarantee that these things won't be embezzled?"
Ruan Shiyou was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't guarantee it. Corruption in Shangwu County was very serious now, and he knew this.
He licked his lips and said, "I can't guarantee this. What do you think?"
Erdan glanced at Ruan Qingqing, then turned back to Ruan Shiyou and said: "Forgive me for saying something I shouldn't say. You are a good official and a good father, but you have done so many things over the years.
, but you haven’t been able to get there, that’s because you are upright and clean. But you should also think about your village, who is not selfish as an official now?"
"Okay, just get to the point. I know this well, so don't praise me anymore." Ruan Shiqiu didn't want to listen to Erdan's nonsense, so he waved his hand directly.
"Okay, Village Chief Ruan, my idea is very simple. How about leaving one-third to your village as funds for rural revitalization, and two-thirds to the government?"
Ruan Shiyou was a little moved, but knew that this would not work, so he said: "I know the law and break the law. Do you want to ruin my reputation?"
Erdan shook his head and said: "Village Chief Ruan, you have been famous all your life, why can't you understand what I say? The Ruan family was better than Hejia Village before, but can you compare now? Without funds, revitalizing the countryside is all nonsense.
, So, if you want to be considerate of the villagers, I can help you convert these things into money and help you build rural development through investment, what do you think?"
The two Ruan Qingqing sisters were a little anxious. Firstly, they didn't want their father to make a mistake, and secondly, they didn't want the villagers in Ruanjia Village to live in even greater poverty.
Seeing that Ruan Shiyou still didn't agree, Erdan sighed and said, "Well, since you don't want to, village chief, then just report it directly! I'm just afraid that by then, not even a hair will be left of what you submitted to the country.
