Reborn to be rich

Chapter 51
Zhang Guodong's words convinced everyone that they don't need to care about the value of these possible treasures, but they must not be destroyed by ignorant people. There are countless examples of treasures dug up by villagers and destroyed. Most people still take them home when they encounter cultural relics. of.

A total of 8 people got on Zhang Guodong's tractor, and Zhang Guotao drove towards Xigou.When he arrived at the rock digging place, Zhang Guotao parked his car on the half slope where the rock was dug. Everyone got off the tractor and started walking towards Geda Mountain with their tools.

Geda Mountain, one of Zhangjialing’s old kiln areas, was no longer inhabited by Zhang Guodong’s grandparents. It is the largest mountain road from Xigoupoding to Geda Mountain.

When he arrived at Geda Mountain, Zhang Guodong could find the place where the later generations dug the ancient tomb at a glance, but he didn't point it out immediately, but drew a few general areas for everyone to find.

The ancient people all paid attention to Fengshui. Geda Mountain faces south, and you can look at the valley in the distance. It is an incredible place. The most likely places to bury the tomb were gradually found out by everyone. The eight people divided into groups according to their own ideas. Go digging, even if you can't dig out treasures, there are still a lot of yellow stones here.

The operation started early in the morning until noon when the most likely burial places were dug out to a depth of more than one meter and there were still no clues. Everyone's patience gradually ran out.

Zhang Guodong came to the big pit that Uncle Qi Bo had just dug. He knew that the time was almost up, so he used his head to dig in the east direction of the pit. Feeling the wood, Zhang Guodong hastily slowed down.

"Guodong, did you find anything?" Seeing Zhang Guodong, Uncle Jiu hurried over.

"There seems to be something here, Uncle Jiu, slow down!" Zhang Guodong said, Uncle Jiu pouted and dug down, and a golden object mixed with some wood chips was dug out.

"It's gold!!" Uncle Qi Bo shouted in surprise when he saw it, and the others hurriedly gathered around when they heard this.

Everyone dealt with the surrounding soil bit by bit, and soon several gold flakes of the same size were found. Zhang Guodong asked his second brother to look at the gold flakes.

The gold pieces were found out one by one, and everyone was very excited. As the number of gold pieces increased, the shape of the coffin in the entire cemetery could be seen. Zhang Guodong saw Uncle Jiu take out a sword from the center of the coffin Like something, he knew something important was coming.

"Dad, Uncle Jiu, this is a bronze sword. We have no right to keep these things. If the country finds them, they will be imprisoned. No one can move these things today. I will go to the village and call the market right now. Let the Bureau of Cultural Relics identify it!"

"Brother, the Bureau of Cultural Relics came and took the things away, so we won't get anything. If the sword is not allowed, we will divide the gold quietly, and they won't know that there is gold here." Zhang Guotao said with some regrets, This is an ancient tomb discovered in the Zhangjialing area, and it belongs to Zhangjialing in the hands of the older generation. The rest of the second team looked at Zhang Guodong quietly without saying a word.

"Silly! There is no impenetrable wall in this world. After you hand over the bronze sword, others will not know that there are other things here? When people ask, what will they say? It's a good thing that can be done for a few years, you Are we worth it? Don’t take chances, every piece of Chinese cultural relics lost is one less, I don’t want to be a sinner of the nation.”

If it were in the past, many of you would definitely not be able to bear the temptation to share the money, but now every household has some savings, and with the belief in Zhang Guodong, everyone is greedy.

"All of you stay here and don't go anywhere, and don't make too much noise to let too many people know. I will go to the village to make a call now. I believe the experts from the city will arrive soon." After speaking, Zhang Guodong drove a tractor to Go to Ganjing Township.

When he arrived at the township, Zhang Guodong came to the telephone department of the township government. There were two telephones in the township, and there were not many people queuing up. It didn't take long for Zhang Guodong's turn to arrive.

"Hello, comrade! Let me check the phone number of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau..."

"What is the phone number of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics? The City Bureau's phone call is not random!"

"I am the village head of Zhangjialing Village. This morning we dug rocks in our village and found a bronze sword. If this is the first time, we will call the Bureau of Cultural Relics and let experts take a look."

Qin Province has made it known to the villagers a long time ago that they must notify the Cultural Relics Bureau as soon as possible if they find antiques from the ground, and if they are found responsible, they will be imprisoned.A large number of ancient tombs have been discovered in many villages in Ganjing Township. The cultural relics publicity policy in the township is in place. Whatever is found is rewarded and must be handed in. Among them, bronze pieces are the most important.

"From Zhangjialing Village? Okay, I'm calling the county, and I'm connecting you....A cultural relic has been found in Zhangjialing Village, Ganjing Township. Please call the city telephone bureau...OK, I'll wait!" The telephone operator finished speaking. Put the phone aside and let Zhang Guodong wait.

After a while, there was a voice on the phone. After listening for a while, the telephone operator told Zhang Guodong that he was all right. The county cultural relics department had already heard the news, and asked Zhang Guodong to go back and wait.

"I'm going to call the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. I didn't say a word on this call, but you just told me to go back and wait. Why do I feel like I'm waiting to deal with it after committing a crime?"

"There are procedures for the development of cultural relics. Well, this time you don't need to pay for the phone call. The next one..." Zhang Guodong looked at the arrogant telephone operator, and he didn't know what he was doing. It cost more than 20 yuan a month. Answering the phone is hard work, so I feel that I am a civil servant and I am taller than a farmer.

He bought some vegetables at the restaurant in front of the township government, and packed some rice. When he returned to the village, he asked Heizi to wait for the people from the county cultural relics department at the entrance of the village, and then he took the food to the ditch.

When Zhang Guodong came to the treasure digging site again, he saw that the entire coffin had been cleared out by everyone. Zhang Guotao did not know where to find the bucket, and he just brought a bucket of water from the bottom of the ditch to clean the cultural relics.

"Don't move!" Seeing that Uncle Jiu was about to throw the bronze sword into the bucket to wash, Zhang Guodong hastily stopped him.Everyone was frightened by Zhang Guodong's actions and dared not move.

"From now on, don't touch any of these things. They will all be put in the cultural relics department of Zhongzhong County. People from the Department of Cultural Relics of Zhongzhong County will come here soon." He said, taking out the delicious food he brought back, and sitting on the ground with everyone eat up.

After waiting for more than six hours, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Zhang Guodong thought that no one from the Ministry of Cultural Relics would come, so Heizi walked over with two men in black coats, followed by a large group of Zhangjialing villagers. They didn't know what happened, but today a motorcycle from the county came to the village, and they all followed to watch the excitement.

"You are Zhang Guodong, right? Where are the things?" Two comrades from the Bureau of Cultural Relics came, one looked to be in his 30s, and the other had just started driving for an internship. After they came, they looked at Zhang Guodong and others and asked.

"Leader! Everything is here, a bronze sword, a jade pendant, and a jade in the shape of a tiger, 128 pieces of gold, we have dug up since the discovery and no one has left. They are all here, and there is no shortage of gold pieces. " Zhang Guotao stepped forward and explained that he was afraid that his brother would talk about the loss of cultural relics and everyone would have something to do with it.

"Stand up, stand here, stay away when it's too busy!" The older staff member of the cultural relics bureau dared to step aside the others in Zhangjialing, and asked the young colleague to search everyone.

"You are the one who reported it, right? The village chief? Are there any hidden things? If you find cultural relics and don't report them, you will be sentenced." The staff member in his 30s said as he took out a pocket and put the bronze The sword was thrown in casually.

"Wait?" The young man who was body-searching Uncle Qi Bo was taken aback, and Zhang Guodong came to the older staff member.

"Is this how you preserve cultural relics? With a cloth bag? Where's your work permit?" Zhang Guodong looked at the other party and said.

"What's wrong with me keeping it like this? What do you mean? Ask me for a work permit, no!" The other party obviously does this kind of thing a lot, and they all know that country people have an inexplicable fear and inferiority complex towards government officials. Every time they go to the countryside, they have a special sense of satisfaction.

"How can I know your identities without a work permit, stay away from the cultural relics!" Zhang Guodong looked at the other party's angry face, staring into the other party's eyes and said.

"We are sent by the county. You have to think about it clearly. These are all cultural relics of the country. If you keep them privately, you will be sent to jail. It's not you. Everyone here can't escape." The other party saw the Zhangjialing villagers. Surrounded him, speaking threateningly.

"It doesn't matter if you say you broke the law or not. Now I suspect that you two are liars. Drive them away!"

The members of the second team did not hesitate to Zhang Guodong's words. Everyone had been patient with these two people for a long time. Uncle Jiu threw the elderly staff member to the ground with one hand and took out the cultural relics from the bag.

"Okay, you gangsters, going against the country will not end well, let's wait and see, none of you can escape, just wait!" After speaking, he got up and fled back, the young man saw this Hastily followed up.

Zhang Guodong did not prevent the other party from leaving. He knew the thoughts of the county cultural relics department, so he pretended that the matter of bringing things back to the county had never happened. Even if they finally handed over the cultural relics, it had nothing to do with the people in Zhangjialing. It was reported that they were cultural relics of Yongkang County. The ministry found treasures dug out of ancient tombs during an investigation in Zhangjialing.

"Guodong, what should we do now?" Uncle Yi Gong came to Zhang Guodong and asked anxiously. After all, the leaders of the county were driven away by them, and the other party said that they would send people to arrest everyone.

"It's okay, take the things and let's go home." After speaking, he put all the things in the bag, carried them on his back and walked back.

Not to mention that everyone in the second team of Zhangjialing was full of worries. Zhang Guodong announced that the team would suspend road construction for the next few days when he returned home.

Besides, the Yongkang County Department of Cultural Relics had three staff members come this time. One of them drove a motorcycle and did not come down by the side of the ditch, and the other two went up the ditch slope. After thinking about it for a while, it would be impossible to go back like this, so he drove to the township government.

Find the township chief Bai Xinyi, how can Bai Xinyi not know what happened, his backstage in the county has a good relationship with the head of the Ministry of Cultural Relics, so this matter must not be ignored.

"The head of Zhangjialing Village is a stupefied young man with too many eyes! You just take your things and leave, and they will give it to you. Let's do it! I'll go with you, and try to make this matter as quiet as possible. " Bai Xinyi thought for a while and said, although the three of them were unwilling, they still had to go to Zhangjialing again.

Zhang Guodong was chatting with his neighbors at home. Everyone was wondering why Zhang Guodong had conflicts with the people from the Ministry of Cultural Relics today. Everyone knew that the two of them were not fake, and rural people still had a lot of doubts about the government system. of fear.

As soon as the sound of a motorcycle engine came from the entrance of the village, everyone in Zhang Guodong's family stood up, and the three people from the county came again!
Zhang Guodong and everyone walked out of the yard, and saw the mayor Bai Xinyi sitting on the side of the motorcycle, two staff members of the cultural relics department sitting on the motorcycle, and the car stopped at the gate of Zhang Guodong's house, followed by three bicycles, two of them were Zhang Guodong met the township government staff.

"Captain Zhang! Look at what you're doing. It's an honor for our village to have staff from the county's cultural relics department come to our village. How can you drive them away? The village has been publicizing that all digging in the ground The cultural relics produced are all state-owned, how can you not know as the captain of the brigade. Today I persuaded Officer Wang for a long time before I left him, and you have to apologize to him." Bai Xinyi got off his motorcycle and asked Zhang Guodong with a serious face. When he came, what came out of his mouth was that Zhang Guodong wanted to embezzle national cultural relics privately, and if he didn't apologize, he would be against the country and the government.

"Major Bai, why are you here! Come, come, sit at home." Zhang Guodong ignored the three people from the cultural relics department next to him, making them even more annoyed.

"I'm telling you something serious! Hurry up and take out the things and give them to Director Wang, and your incident will be treated as if it didn't happen. Do you know the nature of your own situation? To put it simply, you had a conflict with the staff of the Ministry of Cultural Relics If you talk about it, you’ll be fine. To put it bluntly, you’re hiding a national treasure, and it’s possible for the country to shoot you.” Bai Xinyi pulled Zhang Guodong aside, and said to Zhang Guodong quietly.

"Major Bai thinks it should be handed over to them?" Zhang Guodong looked at Wang Xinyi and asked.

"Of course, otherwise, what's the use of keeping him? If you sell it to others, no one will dare to accept it. Isn't keeping him in trouble for yourself?"

"Today I was going to hand them over to both of them, but these two people refused to show any documents, and they just wrapped things in a cloth bag and left. They said that you, the head of Bai, took something in the village. I have to leave a note too! These two people have nothing, how can I give them things with confidence."
