Chapter 919: The Box in the Clay Statue
The man holding the small box was shocked for a moment, then he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he said to Captain Zhang who was also shocked:
"Captain Zhang, what should we do with these things?"
It can be heard that the voice of the brother in the hat is a little trembling, which shows how great the visual impact of this gold is on a person.
At this time, the brother in the hat was holding the gold in both hands, just like holding a hot potato, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang subconsciously looked at Sun Nian with a questioning look.
Obviously, Captain Zhang was also a little confused. Of course, being confused was one thing, but the main reason was that the value of so much gold was beyond the thinking of normal people.
Although Sun Nian was also surprised that these loan sharks could recover so much gold, Sun Nian had seen big scenes after all, because when Wang An and his friends went panning for gold, Sun Nian also got more than 180 kilograms of gold.
So although these more than 20 kilograms of gold were very eye-catching and shocking, Sun Nian did not have any major psychological fluctuations.
Noticing Captain Zhang's look, Sun Nian thought for a moment and said:
"Put a seal on it and take it back to Chrysanthemum for processing."
From beginning to end, Sun Nian did not move, as if this box of gold was just a box of ordinary stones.
In this way, under Sun Nian's arrangement, the box of gold was covered again and sealed.
Then, everyone continued to search.
Soon, a brother in a hat found another small box in the belly of a clay sculpture.
Of course, it is not quite accurate to say that it was found. To be precise, it should be said that it was fallen out.
Because there were quite a lot of people searching in the room, someone accidentally bumped into the table where the clay sculptures were placed.
Maybe it was hit too hard, causing the clay statue to slide off the table.
Then with a "bang", the entire clay statue was smashed to pieces.
Then, a small box fell out.
This small box looks exactly like the box containing gold, and it doesn't look very heavy.
Because after it was thrown out, it did not slide or roll on the ground, but stayed firmly in place.
I have to say, this Wei Cheng is really cunning. Who would have thought that a clay statue that is usually used for burning incense and offerings would be dug a hole by him underneath.
Any normal person would not dig a hole in a clay statue used for worship!
Similarly, any normal person would never think of picking up a clay statue and taking a look at it during a search.
This time, the brother in the hat may know that the box is of great importance, so after picking up the box from the ground, he did not open the box, but handed it directly to his boss, Captain Zhou.
After Captain Zhou took the box, he was even more straightforward. He walked directly to Sun Nian with the box without even looking at it.
Sun Nian took the box subconsciously, but her beautiful big eyes were full of doubts.
Of course, everyone present also turned their eyes here. It was obvious that everyone was curious about what was in the box.
The main thing is that this box is hidden in a place that no one would expect, so it feels like it must be more precious than the previous box of gold.
Sun Nian was not a person who wasted time, so under everyone's curious eyes, Sun Nian opened the small box.
But after everyone looked at the contents of the box, they were all stunned, and their eyes were obviously more unbelievable than when they saw the gold before. The person who felt the most unbelievable was Wang An, who was just a bystander along the way.
Because what was in the box was neither money nor an IOU, nor gold of considerable value, but a piece of folded deerskin.
Wang An'na had a special liking for deerskin, because both the map of Lao Zaizi and the map of gold mining were recorded on deerskin.
Of course, Sun Nian and Wang Li had also seen the deerskin marked with gold mine in Wang An's hand.
So when Sun Nian found out that there was deerskin in the box, her eyes subconsciously looked at Wang An.
At the same time, Wang Li also looked at Wang An.
Among all the people present, perhaps only these three people knew what such a large piece of deerskin meant.
Although Wang An also wanted to see what the deerskin was, he still stopped.
The main thing is that there are so many brothers in hats present, what would it mean if I still seem so concerned about it?
Sun Nian calmed himself down and took the deerskin out of the box.
What no one expected was that when Sun Nian pulled out the deerskin, he found that there was gold wrapped inside the deerskin.
However, this time the gold was a whole piece, and its shape was very irregular, with sand, pebbles and other debris inlaid on it.
Obviously, this is a very valuable piece of gold nugget. I don’t know where that old guy Wei Cheng got it from.
The name of dog-head gold is known to everyone. After all, this thing was presented to the emperor in ancient times.
The gold nuggets that have survived among the people are extremely rare.
If an official in ancient times could give the emperor a piece of gold nugget, promotion and wealth would be just around the corner.
Therefore, when everyone in the room looked at the palm-sized nugget of gold, their breathing immediately became rapid.
Wang An, Sun Nian and Wang Li suddenly realized that the only purpose of this deerskin was to wrap the gold nugget, and the situation they had previously speculated did not exist.
Sun Nian took a deep breath, wrapped the gold nugget in deerskin, put it back into the box, and said to the brother in the hat who found it:
"Put a seal on it and bring it back to Chrysanthemum for processing later."
The lid of the box was closed again, and everyone withdrew their gazes.
It’s not hard to see from everyone’s uneasy expressions how uneasy everyone is in their hearts.
It is really hard to describe how a loan shark in the countryside could collect so many good things.
And so, everyone continued to search.
However, even after everyone had searched everything in the house, they still didn't find anything good or valuable.
After walking out of the room, someone among those who were arrested shouted:
"Well Officer, have you found those IOUs?"
Thanks to “The Emperor of the Big Empire” for the reward, thank you very much.
