Yuan Sibi and I sat under a tree at the head of the village all afternoon, not daring to enter the village because people from the county police station and the municipal property bureau kept coming in and out of the village in the afternoon.
The loudspeaker of the village brigade shouted throughout the day asking people to take the initiative to hand in their belongings.
Under such a high-pressure situation, people in the village were panicked, and some timid people could not withstand the pressure and voluntarily surrendered.
But I know that there must be many people hiding silver coins.
In Homo Village, it was completely dark at 7:30 p.m. Yuan Sibi and I sneaked into the village.
"Uncle, where are you having dinner?"
"Oh, why are you here again! I told you, we didn't rob anything! Why don't you believe it!"
I put away the smile on my face, took out a small book, and said seriously: "Uncle, let me popularize legal knowledge for you. Even if you don't take it, if you know who is hiding it and choose not to report it, that is a crime of cover-up. Afterwards,
Criminal responsibility must also be pursued.”
Yuan Sibi nodded beside him. He immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "How about I call Captain Zhao now and ask him to come over?"
The old man put down the bowl anxiously and said, "Ah? Still going to jail?!"
I nodded and said seriously: "Yes, we will start in three years."
He was just an ordinary old man from the village. He was frightened by me. After hesitating for half a minute, he whispered a person's name to me, saying that this person had one in his family.
"Where does this person live?" I asked after collecting the notebook.
The old man whispered: "Go to the end of the village, turn left, and there is the house halfway up the mountain. You can see it when you go over."
Yuan Sibi and I quickly found this family. Seeing that the door was closed, I stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"who!"
"Fellow, open the door!"
After waiting for two minutes, a very fat woman in her forties with yellow spots on her face opened the door for me.
"Hello, eldest sister, I'm here to ask about the silver coins."
The fat woman immediately said in annoyance: "Aren't you bothered? We have already handed it over! Let's ask again! Are you bothered?"
"You guys leave quickly!" She gestured to close the door.
Yuan Sibi immediately blocked the door and said, "Don't panic, we are not officials, we are here to buy things."
"Acquisition?"
I nodded and said yes.
Seeing that she was still doubtful, I took out two silver coins and a wad of money from my bag and said this was what I had just received.
The fat woman believed it. She let us into the courtyard and locked the door behind her.
"Mother, what are these two doing?" a man came out of the house and asked.
"These two collect antiques," the fat woman said.
I have an impression of this man. He seemed to be the one who was at the forefront that night. In other words, he must have something hidden in his hands.
After moving the little maza over and letting Yuan Sibi and I sit down, the fat woman whispered, "You are so brave. The people from the village brigade have just left."
I didn't talk nonsense, I just opened my bag and took out 20,000 yuan, and shook it in my hand.
The money I just took out in the afternoon sounded straight and new.
The fat woman swallowed her saliva and asked, "How much can you give me? Yesterday, someone made an offer and gave me one thousand and fifteen pieces."
I said calmly, "Sister-in-law, you have to look at the thing first. If you don't look at the quality of the thing, it's hard to say the price."
The fat woman winked, and her husband took one out of his pocket and handed it to me.
This is what I want...
After a tug-of-war, Yuan Sibi counted the money on the spot.
We recovered 28 silver coins from her at a price of 3,500 each, costing a total of 90,000.
This number was a huge number for rural people at that time.
I don't feel bad if I can't let go of my children, because I know that I can earn back tenfold.
The fat woman's face turned red as she counted the money. I noticed that her wrists were shaking all the time. Apparently she had never counted such a thick amount of cash at once before.
Later, I asked her to take Yuan Sibi and I to the village to buy some. She agreed and would give her a commission of 200 yuan for every coin received.
By around 11 o'clock at night, one-third of the money Yuan Si and I had brought with us had already gone down. The village is so big, some people heard the news and took the initiative to sneak over with a few silver coins to sell them.
They are all willing to sell to us because the price we offer is high, more than twice as high as others.
This kind of transaction is called black under the lamp.
At 1:30 a.m., the fat woman took us on a night walk again to the next village to find a man named Li Ming. I forgot the name of the village.
I remember that on the left side of this family's door was a sheep pen, and on the right was a horse pen. Kangding's animal husbandry industry was developed, and many people raised sheep and horses at home.
When we arrived, Li Ming was giving a night meal to a pregnant horse in the sheep pen. The horse would not be fat without night grass. I saw that the horse was drinking goat's milk in the washbasin.
The sheep pooped a lot of sheep excrement and soaked it in the goat's milk. They turned into soft black balls, so they looked particularly like the "bubble milk tea" sold in milk tea shops.
"Sister-in-law Qiu, why are you here so late? This is..."
The fat woman stood outside the horse pen and said: "Old Ming, please stop doing this. Where are your few silver coins?"
When he heard this, he immediately became nervous, shook his head and said, "Where can I get the silver coins?"
The fat woman climbed into the sheepfold and whispered a few times in his ear.
The man nodded repeatedly and looked at me with less vigilance.
Go inside and talk.
He took out a total of nine silver coins and wanted to sell them for 40,000 yuan. I was patiently negotiating the price with him when suddenly, a young girl pushed open the door and rushed in.
"Dad! You can't do this!"
"This is illegal! If you insist on selling it, then I will go to the police station and report you!"
Li Ming ran over and closed the door. He turned around and slapped the girl angrily!
"I am your father!"
"Are you stupid for studying? How can I support you in college if your family has no money?"
The girl covered her face, her eyes were red, and she argued loudly: "Even if I don't go to school, I won't watch you break the law!"
"them!"
"Who are they!"
The girl pointed at me and the four elders and said, "They are not good people! They are material dealers who know the law and break the law!"
The fat woman immediately stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hand and persuaded: "Xiao Zhen, don't be so accepting of death! Many people have sold it! As long as we all shut up and don't tell anyone! It will be fine."
At this time, Yuan Sibi put away the piles of money on the table and said with a sneer: "Brother Li, your daughter wants to report us. If you don't handle this matter, then we will not be able to continue this business.
"
The good money was taken back into the bag, and the young man Li Mingzhen became angry. He slapped the girl hard again, his fingers trembling and said: "You're so angry... I'm so angry, why are you not doing anything at all?"
Don’t understand me!”
"Your mother didn't want us and ran away with a wild man! How did a man like me raise you? Have you ever thought about it?"
The girl cried loudly, opened the door and ran out.
The fat woman wanted to chase her, but Li Ming waved his hand: "Sister-in-law Qiu, leave her alone! She's going to make me mad!"
Yuan Sibi and I looked at each other and said nothing.
Li Ming repeatedly promised that she knew the girl well and would definitely not lie, so we gave her the money.
After I came out, I always felt uneasy. This kind of thing can be big or small. If I don't take the initiative to deal with it, it may leave hidden dangers.
After thinking about it, I turned to the fat woman and said, "Sister-in-law, go find the girl just now and I'll say a few words to her."
