Chapter 817: The Design Leads the Snake Out of the Hole
Erdan's words deeply stimulated Ruan Shiwu, and he slowly lowered his hand holding the cell phone to make a call.
"Li Erdan, there is something in your words. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Erdan sighed, stared at Ruan Shiyou and said: "Village Chief Ruan, we are all our own people here, let me tell you the truth! Regarding this batch of cultural relics, only your two daughters and I, and Yi Furong know, but you know
Did something happen when I went to the county seat this time? Someone actually knew about this matter, and they threatened me, meaning that I would take these things out and hand them over. Do you think they can still use this thing in their hands?
What’s left?”
Ruan Shihu was really shocked. He didn't expect that Erdan would encounter some dark things in the officialdom in the county seat.
"I'm telling you, if it weren't for these things, I wouldn't be poisoned by mercury, and my leg wouldn't be lame. Do you think I'd just hand over the things I discovered to them, would I be willing?"
Ruan Qingqing covered her mouth at that time, and she began to panic. She thought, Li Erdan meant to doubt the two sisters, right?
After hearing everything clearly, Ruan Shiqiu's expression softened a lot. He stared at Erdan and asked: "You mean that if someone is looking at these cultural relics now, it is very likely that they will be divided up directly."
Erdan nodded and said: "I won't take advantage of these people in vain. I have been tortured by mercury poison. No one knows how much I have suffered. I also have this lame leg. I will not hand it over easily."
Ruan Shiwu felt very guilty, and immediately said awkwardly: "Brother Erdan, I really don't know these things, don't be surprised."
Erdan smiled and waved his hands and said: "Village Chief Ruan, I'm just venting my anger. If we really notify the government, we won't be able to keep these things. Besides, there are no airtight walls. We might not know what's inside."
There are people who tipped off the information, so I had no choice but to have this idea for the sake of Ruanjia Village and to prevent all these things from going into other people's pockets."
Ruan Shiyou gently patted Erdan's shoulder, nodded and said, "I know your suffering, but the current situation in Shangwu County is not something that you and I can solve!"
Erdan gritted his teeth and said, "You are the head of a village. There is nothing you can do about being an official, but I just hope that you, the village chief, can help me act in a play?"
Ruan Shihu was stunned, frowned and said: "What kind of drama? But I want to make it clear. The premise is that you can't enrich your own pockets, and you can't take bribes."
Seeing that Ruan Shiqiu had no objection, Erdan immediately said: "Village Chief, where did you think you were going? I tell you, no one knows the number of cultural relics now, so just pretend you don't know anything, but I will do the same for the rest.
The number will be handed over to the state, but I know that there will definitely be someone who wants to touch these cultural relics. Therefore, I hope you can help me spread the word secretly, saying that we have discovered the cultural relics. We are now on the way to the county seat, which takes about an hour and a half.
Arrive later.”
Ruan Shihu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help frowning: "Erdan, you mean to secretly transport it to the county town, but why do you want to spread the word?"
Erdan smiled and said: "Village Chief, I'm sure that as long as word of your word spreads, something will happen on our way to the county seat. Then think about it, if they come and shout to catch the thief, after an investigation, it will be
If nothing goes, whose pocket do you think these things will go into?"
Ruan Shiyou still didn't understand and said: "If we were really robbed by them, then it would be okay."
Erdan smiled and said: "My village chief, don't worry, how could I really give those to others? Come, let me show you something."
Ruan Shiwu followed Erdan out of the tomb and walked to an open space next to him. Erdan opened the box with a smile.
"Li Erdan, do you want to embezzle these things?"
Seeing Ruan Shihu's nervous look, Erdan smiled and said, "Village chief, can you take one to see?"
After Ruan Shiqi picked it up, he found that it was very light and seemed to be fake. After looking at it carefully, he frowned and said, "Why did you bring some fake things here? You don't want to steal it!"
"Village Chief, if I want to change, will I still wait for you in the tomb?"
Ruan Shiqi thought for a while and began to believe Erdan, so he asked him what to do next?
"What I mean is very simple, just accompany me to perform a play, and then we will transport these fakes to the county. Even if someone robs us in the middle, as long as we are fine, it doesn't matter if we are taken away. However, we will arrange for other people to do the same at the same time.
Transporting real money and silver to the county town will not take the same route as us, but this must be kept secret. Even if we are faked to be robbed, we will still arrive safely, what do you think?"
Ruan Shihu breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."
"Because I predict that as long as you reveal the truth, something will happen halfway. That's why I let you keep a third of it, because when they investigate, we can also be said to have been robbed."
Ruan Shiwu didn't expect Erdan to be so smart, so he admired him a little.
But Ruan Shiqiu was also smart and sensed a little bit of Erdan's inner thoughts, so he coughed and said: "Boy, you are trying your best to help our village. You must have a purpose. Tell me! What is your purpose?"
Erdan was embarrassed and said awkwardly: "Village Chief, you are really a genius. You can guess this. To tell you the truth, you are the only one who can help me with this matter?"
Ruan Shiqiu felt uncomfortable, knowing that this kid was playing tricks, and there was no such thing as a pie in the world.
"Tell me! Brat, what are your plans?"
Erdan stammered: "I want her to be Qingqing."
"Don't come here, you are wishful thinking, Li Erdan, I tell you, you must not have any ideas about my daughter?"
Erdan was wronged and quickly explained: "Village Chief, what are you thinking? I'm not interested in your daughter. Besides, what's so interesting about it? I saw the two sisters taking a bath secretly. That's all.
You still regard them as the apple of your eye."
"What, brat, tell me clearly, you actually peeked at my daughter taking a bath alive, how shameless are you?"
After being slapped twice on the head by Ruan Shiyou, Erdan hurriedly hid aside, pointed at him and said: "I didn't mean it. I was injured at that time and was rushed out of the secret passage by the water. I just happened to rush out."
When I got to the dam, I accidentally saw the two sisters secretly taking a bath there. Besides, it was so dark, no one could see them."
Ruan Shiqiu wanted to give Erdan a good beating, but thinking about it, it wouldn't have happened if his daughter didn't come over to swim privately, so he could only get angry.
"Okay, village chief, let's get down to business! I have to let your two daughters stay with me, at least during this time."
"What do you mean, you suspect that my daughter has tipped off?"
Erdan shook his head and said: "It's not that I doubt it, it's because I want to avoid making the same type of mistakes, not just them, but also the people around me, so you feel it's fair, right?"
Ruan Shiqiu knew what Erdan was thinking, so he nodded and said: "Boy, don't think that I don't know what you think. You just want to use me to act with you and find out the spies around you!"
