Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 129 Chapter 130: A Considerable Wealth

Wang Zhendong wondered if she might be Xu Zheng's wife.

But after thinking about it, I thought it was unlikely. After all, it was his wife who broke the news about Xu Zheng’s disappearance. If Xu Zheng’s wife was hiding here.

Then his wife would not expose her and hide again.

Therefore, Xu Zheng’s wife does not know Xu Zheng’s true identity, so who could it be here?
Someone lives here, why didn’t Xu Zheng say anything?
Could it be that he was behind the scenes and wanted to make him suffer?
It doesn't feel like it either!

There is absolutely no need for Xu Zheng to do this, or in other words, Xu Zheng doesn't know that someone has moved in here secretly?

Since he could not determine the identity of the person in the house, Wang Zhendong was in trouble.

He was afraid that he was not Xu Zheng's accomplice, but just a homeless person living in an uninhabited courtyard.

The courtyard door is locked, so it's possible that someone got in by climbing over the wall.

If this is the case, then he cannot use the method of killing with one strike, nor can he take people into the space rashly.

And if he enters the house, if the other party attacks him, he is likely to accidentally kill or injure the other party.

Listening to the chaotic breathing in the room, Wang Zhendong felt that he was not Xu Zheng's accomplice, otherwise his psychological quality would not be so poor.

But what if it is an accomplice with a very poor psychological quality?

So he was a little confused.

At the same time, he is also worried that the other party has a gun. If the other party fires a gun after entering, not only may he be killed, but even if he can escape, the sound of the gunfire will alert the neighbors and attract militiamen and police.

But the door was so big, he had no idea what was going on with the other party, and he couldn't call out. It was unlikely that he would wait for the other party to come out.

After thinking quickly in his mind, Wang Zhendong finally chose to take a step back.

Even if the other party is an accomplice of Xu Zheng, and Xu Zheng brought him here just to put him in danger, then it is right for him to take a step back.

There was no need to attack forcefully, and he was not in a hurry.

Therefore, Wang Zhendong quickly left the door, went directly to the courtyard wall, climbed over the wall, and left.

Let's go get the bricks for the city wall first, and then come over and take a look at it in the middle of the night.

When the time comes, a counterattack might have miraculous effects that the other party would never expect.

After leaving Baozi Hutong, (the previous chapter was wrong, the current time period should still be Baozi Hutong, which was changed to West [-]th and North [-]rd Street in [-]) Wang Zhendong drove to the West City Wall section. Now the city walls in many places have been demolished. about there.

By 1960, the demolition was basically completed, so now it is time to collect more old city wall bricks.

This city wall brick is very practical for building a house in space.

The flooring is very good and saves space when it rains and gets muddy everywhere.

Make more this time, and there will be people in the space. Then let them lay the ground and build a house.

The city wall bricks we got last time were all paved on the floor of the storage area.

Wang Zhendong was busy until after one o'clock at night, then he stopped and drove away and returned to Ping'anli.

It was so late at night, there was no one walking around, and the night wind was also cool, making people feel chilly. Wang Zhendong felt desolate walking in such a night.

This area was pitch dark, with no street lights on. At the entrance of Baozi Alley, Wang Zhendong entered again.

In this alley, there lived a very famous person, but he had suffered a heart attack at the beginning of the year, Cheng Yanqiu of the Cheng School of Peking Opera.

Wang Zhendong naturally didn't know, and he never paid attention to these great people in Peking Opera in later generations.

Therefore, he didn't know that Xu Zheng's small courtyard was right next to the Cheng family courtyard, the same house where the dog was raised before.

Returning to the entrance of the small courtyard again, this time Wang Zhendong still climbed over the wall directly to enter, but this time he tried to be as silent as possible.

The movement is very light.

I have been here once, so I am familiar with the small courtyard and can manage it without making the slightest sound.

This time there was no barking of dogs from next door. He came to the door of the room quietly, but saw that the door he pushed open was still open.

Seeing this situation, Wang Zhendong was a little confused.

Shouldn't it be?

After such a long time, didn’t the people in the house come out and close the door?
Or was it that the people in the room had already left after being disturbed by him?
He pressed himself against the door again and listened carefully. There was no sound at all in the room. In such a quiet night, breathing was actually easy to hear.In fact, even if he can't hear the sound of breathing, Wang Zhendong's intuition can still feel whether there is anyone in the room. This does not mean that his induction is very strong.

It is an ability that many people have. Many ordinary people can also feel whether there is someone in a small space at night.

Just like many people will feel it when they encounter danger. The most common thing is that when someone is staring at them from behind, they will also feel it and subconsciously turn their heads to look over.

At this time, Wang Zhendong felt that there was no one in the room.

The intuition is completely different from before.

However, he still took out a three-edged military thorn, and then slowly entered the house. There were two rooms, one door, and the door of the other room should be inside the house.

There was still some hazy light outside, but when it entered the room, it was completely blind and nothing could be seen.

After Wang Zhendong got used to it for a while, he felt a little better and could vaguely see the outline of the room.

There was a flashlight in the space, but he didn't want to use it yet. He first touched the door of another room.

The door was closed. He reached out and pushed it gently, and the door opened with a sound.

After listening carefully, he put away the three-sided military spur, took out the flashlight, and first took a look at the back room. He saw a big and old stove, and the furniture was also very broken and covered in dust.

There were a lot of cobwebs, and then he checked the outhouse again. Because there was dust, there were no shoe prints on the ground in the back room, but there were some messy shoe prints on the floor in the outhouse.

Based on the shoe prints, Wang Zhendong judged that there was only one person, probably a young man. The footprints were not large, so he was most likely to be a thief.

But there was a coincidence that made Wang Zhendong suspicious. Xu Zheng had just disappeared and was under investigation, and thieves came to his secret stronghold.

This was unusual and he didn't believe it was just a coincidence.

It can be seen from the shoe prints on the ground that no one has been here for a long time, and it was only tonight that someone entered.

Then this person should know that Xu Zheng has good things hidden here, and he came here to find those things.

It shows that this person knows Xu Zheng, maybe he is very familiar with Xu Zheng.

If this is the case, it is not a boy, but a woman, and this is a woman's shoe print.

woman?

Thinking of this, Wang Zhendong carefully looked at the shoe prints again. They should be the marks left by a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes.

Nowadays, many people wear these shoes, but it is basically certain that the person in the house was a woman before.

If she is a woman, she may be Xu Zheng's accomplice, and she is very skilled and can climb over the wall, which is not possible for weak women.

Of course, Wang Zhendong didn't care anymore. He turned around and entered the back room and began to check the fire pit. It didn't take long for him to find the hidden mystery.

From the corner of the fire pit, he began to take out the bricks one by one, and soon a hole appeared. Under the illumination of the flashlight, there was a pile of yellow bricks inside.

There was also a cylinder wrapped in butter paper, which was a very large quantity of silver coins.

The way of wrapping silver dollars is exactly the same as the way of wrapping coins in later generations.

Without delay, he began to take in the space.

There are a total of 82 silver coins, 240 large yellow croakers, and 3000 seven small yellow croakers. Not counting these silver coins, this batch of gold contains more than [-] grams.

According to the bank exchange price during this period, it was four yuan and sixteen cents per gram, which was almost 14 yuan. This was a considerable amount of wealth.

Judging from the traces of hiding, it has been hidden for many years and has not been touched.

After emptying the kang hole of the treasures, Wang Zhendong did not just leave, but laid the bricks again one by one.

But he didn't remove the soil scattered on the ground between the cracks of the bricks. He wanted to come over tomorrow night to see if that person would come back.

That man would definitely not come during the day, so if she didn't find anything tonight and was scared away by him, he would definitely come back tomorrow night.

Wang Zhendong decided to come over early tomorrow night and wait in the house.

He wanted to see who he was.

In fact, he wanted to go into the space and ask Xu Zheng, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Let’s see if we can catch the person first. If not, then ask Xu Zheng.
