Chapter 918: Very Small Wooden Box
The east and west wing rooms in this courtyard are not small. The east wing has 5 rooms and the west wing has 6 rooms, but the three rooms on the south side are carports.
The first rooms they entered were the three west wing rooms, which were filled with food.
And the grains here are very diverse. You can say that there are all kinds of grains, such as corn, rice, wheat, millet, sorghum, and various beans.
Of course, there are also processed corn grits, cornmeal, rice, white flour, millet, etc.
According to conservative estimates, the total weight of these grains would be about 20 to kilograms, or about to tons.
But it is obvious that these grains were all recovered after they demanded payment. To put it bluntly, they were just snatched back.
Looking at the three rooms full of food, Captain Zhang couldn't help but curse:
"How many people have been harmed by these beasts?"
Captain Zhou also said with a gloomy face:
"They have taken all the food from the people and brought it here. They are not worth a beating."
Sun Nian's charming face, which had enchanted everyone, was now covered with frost, as if it would freeze the entire earth at any time.
Only Wang An's expression remained basically unchanged, and he looked completely indifferent.
The main thing is that as long as people have a lot of experience, basically everything they see will not be surprising.
And as long as usury is not eradicated, this kind of thing will never stop.
I still remember that in Wang An’s previous life, a large private enterprise in the south broke its capital chain because it borrowed usurious loans. Such an enterprise with an output value of hundreds of millions became heavily in debt and was eventually dragged down and went bankrupt.
It can be seen from this that even a large enterprise cannot withstand usury, let alone ordinary people.
After a while, Sun Nian said to Captain Zhang and Captain Zhou:
"If we intervene, can we return the food to those who were robbed?"
Captain Zhang and Captain Zhou looked at each other, and Captain Zhang shook his head and said:
"This is a terrible debt. The food is of all kinds. We don't know how much we stole or where we stole it from. We have no way of paying it back."
In fact, Sun Nian just asked this question because she also felt that it was impossible to return so much food to those who were robbed.
So when he heard Captain Zhang's answer, Sun Nian just nodded and said nothing.
At this time, Captain Zhou suddenly interrupted:
"Captain Sun, I think there's nothing here that we're looking for. How about we go to the east wing and have a look?"
Sun Nian once again looked at the room full of food, then nodded and instructed a man in a hat beside him:
"Seal up these grains and the door, and go and have another look at the house over there."
As they were talking, everyone turned and walked towards the east wing.
Just like when they entered the west wing, the big lock on the door was violently smashed open, and the brothers in hats walked into the east wing and started searching.
It’s no wonder that this group of people led by Wei Cheng have done a lot of interesting things.
Because among the five rooms in the east wing, except for two rooms used as chess and card rooms, which were filled with mahjong, pai gow, dice, old cards, poker and other gambling tools, the remaining two rooms were filled with guns.
That’s right, they were all guns, more than 100 of them.
But most of the guns here are air rifles, with only about 20 barrel guns and 10 double-barreled hunting rifles. The most amazing thing is that all the guns here are new, and they are brand new.
Subconsciously, Wang Li asked Wang Andao:
"Fourth brother, what do you think they use these old air guns for? They can only shoot sparrows and greyhounds, but it's hard to shoot pheasants or rabbits. They're not very useful."
I have to admit that what Wang Li said was really correct, because the definition of an air gun at that time was a toy gun, which fired 4.5mm or 5.5mm lead bullets.
As for the range, it is only 20 to meters at most, and it has basically no power beyond meters, so buying this thing for hunting is pure bullshit.
The most important thing is that this thing is not cheap. Whether it is sold in a supply and marketing cooperative, a hardware store, or a bookstore, the price is over 70 or 80 yuan, which is two months' salary for a formal employee.
That’s right, it was a bookstore, and at that time, bookstores also sold air guns.
Wang An touched the protective oil on it and said:
"That's probably because they want to collect the debt. It looks like they haven't had time to sell it yet."
I have to say, this pile of guns placed here looks quite spectacular.
Just as Wang An and Wang Li were looking at these guns, the brothers in hats finally made a new discovery.
A brother in a hat accidentally found a small broken box in a big box that looked very broken, and inside this small broken box, there was an even smaller box.
To be honest, if you look at these two broken wooden boxes that can only be used as firewood, no one would have thought that there was a third box inside.
This box is very small, rectangular, about 15 cm long, 10 cm wide and 5 cm high.
When the guy in the hat opened it, he couldn't help but exclaimed "Oh my god." and instantly attracted everyone's attention.
At the same time, everyone's eyes could not help but look here.
Immediately afterwards, everyone started to exclaim “What the hell” or “Oh my god!”
The reason why everyone was so out of control was that the small box contained nothing else but a full box of gold.
There are a bunch of gold jewelry here, including gold bracelets, gold earrings, gold locks, gold pendants, etc.
Of course, there are also quite a few gold bars the size of little fingers, gold ingots the size of fingertips, and small gold beads or gold grains that fell from some gold pendants.
I have to admit that gold is really eye-catching.
However, due to discipline and strong willpower, although the brothers in hats exclaimed, no one came forward.
Of course, Wang An and Wang Li did not go to get along, mainly because their family did not lack this thing, so there was no need to make do with it.
Wang An estimated the thickness of the box board and concluded that this box of gold must weigh at least 20 kilograms.
If calculated based on the gold price at that time, this box of gold would be worth more than 8!
Wang An couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"The loan sharking business is really extremely profitable!"
You have to know that this does not include the food, the guns in this house, and the cash that everyone has not found.
No wonder Wei Chengdu doesn't care about those silver jewelry and jade pieces that are more or less worth some money.
Who would care about worthless silver if they had so much gold?
