《Spies of the Republic of C》Chapter 10 The Treasure appears
Advertisement
Ning Zhiheng had come to this compound in his previous life, when he was in his official glory. At that time, nanjing city was rebuilt, and the city planning included this ancient building in the scope of demolition.
At that time, the department of cultural relics also raised objections, but in the general trend of the situation did not play any role.
So in the construction of the excavation of the foundation, two large urns of gold ingots were dug out in the ground of the courtyard. At that time, the construction workers and onlookers were looting, and the scene was extremely chaotic. One person was killed and many others were injured because of the gold ingots.
By the time the police arrived it was too late to take control. Despite a long recovery effort, most of the gold ingots were lost in the chaos.
Ning zhiheng was one of the officials sent by the government to deal with the accident. He also visited the site with experts from the department of antiquities at the time and identified the spot where the ingot was dug up.
Later reports from the cultural relics department showed that the compound was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty as the residence of an official surnamed Sun. So has been named after The Sun Jiayuan, but later experienced the war increasingly dilapidated, gold ingot is in the most inside a house under the site dug out. It was buried so deep that it was never found.
As for who buried it? And why hid so much wealth, because the age is really impossible to prove.
This event is Ning Zhiheng personally involved, so this thing is fresh. Although there was still plenty of information available from his previous lives, sun jiayuan's treasure was the easiest to collect, so he decided to take his first cask of gold.
The middle-aged man said that the courtyard is now called liu courtyard. The landlord also lived in the compound, the largest room on the east side. My family had been well off before, but now it is in ruin. All that's left is this compound, living off the rent.
Ning Zhiheng knows, it seems that the problem is not big, such a person without money without power, as long as some money can be done.
He waved the middle-aged man away. Step into the courtyard, the courtyard is very large, look at the building is very simple, but now live a lot of people appear very messy.
It was now at the time when these people were going out to seek their livelihood, and when they saw a soldier in military uniform with a pistol slung over his waist entering the courtyard, they all fled.
Ning zhiheng ignored them and went straight to the landlord's door. After knocking for half a day, a sleepy man in his thirties opened the door.
He did not seem to be awake, and was a little annoyed at being roused, when he found an officer with a gun on his arm looking at him impatiently.

"You wanted to see me, Sir?" "Asked the landlord cautiously.
Ning Zhiheng was a little impatient to wait, seeing that the landlord was sloppy and unseemly. He said coldly, "Are you the landlord of this yard? I want to rent some rooms."
Landlord Liu hurriedly nodded and let Ning Zhi into the house. He looked at the officer with a cold face. He did not seem to be a man to talk easily and did not dare to offend him. There's no such thing as a soldier these days! Plus, I'm living on rent, pushing people out.
"We do have a few empty houses in this yard. Several of them have been turned out in the past. It's clean, and if you like it, you can move in right away." Landlord Liu hesitated for a moment and said: "the room money is easy to say, you take a fancy to me can also give you a discount!"
Ning Zhiheng smelled the landlord full of bed gas, the body slightly back two steps, and he pulled some distance, said: "that's good, now take me to see the house, look after me today."
The landlord was pleased. The officer was in such a hurry to get in that he was likely to succeed. He was just worrying about leaving the rooms empty and earning no expenses when the tenant came to the house.
The landlord took Ning Zhiheng to the courtyard of the several empty rooms looked all over, in fact, Ning Zhiheng had already looked at the specific location. The house in which the ingot was dug adjoined the farthest north, but was already occupied by tenants.
Ning Zhiheng did not want to waste more time. Pointing to that room and two adjoining rooms, he said directly: "These are the three rooms I have my eye on. The occupants will be made available to me at once, and I will live in them this evening."
"But they all have lodgers, you ~" the landlord hesitated for a moment, but the officer was very happy, he wanted to rent three rooms at once, but even the houses he liked had lodgers, how could he arrange this?
Ning Zhiheng see the hesitation of the landlord, but he does not want to delay too much time in this matter, he does not know when the action team is finished, but the situation of the Israeli military intelligence, issued the order to estimate that no one dare to discount, the time should not be very long.
During this period, he will go back to his hometown Hangcheng and send Xiao Wan back to help her find her family. It will take a few days, so he plans to finish the work in Nanjing in these two days.
He didn't give the landlord time to think about it. "What's the point," he added. "You have a few spare rooms. I'll pay more for the room. I must spare it today."
Cut the tangle quickly, the more the more trouble. Besides, the people who can live in this broken yard are all the ordinary people who seek life at the bottom, so long as they can refuse to give more money.

"Why, what else? I don't have much time to delay. I'm afraid money will bite my hand!" Ningzhiheng a glaring eye, pat the pistol between waist, drink to ask a way: "still be afraid of me this soldier of take not to give room money, want to change a place to talk with you!"
You can't be too polite with a guy like that, and if the landlord really doesn't like it, he'll lock him up for a few days to keep him out of the way. And who's going to bother with this guy's life.
Sure enough, when the landlord, who was already a little excited, saw the officer about to fire, he was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand and said, "Sir, calm down! I inform them this change room, change room immediately, absolutely delay!"
Then he called out the three lodgers and said the matter. At that time, some lodgers did not do it. But this Liu landlord to Ning Zhiheng dare not disobey, but to these tenants is mighty and powerful. The next scold, what do not want to live on the leave cloud cloud, plus the officer behind him is also a face of severe. After a while, no one was talking anymore.
Besides, there was nothing to lose. Even with a little extra effort, the three tenants did not dare to cause more trouble, so they gave up and went home to pack up their things.
Looking at the success of the matter, Ning Zhiheng turned to landlord Liu and said: "The room is clean. I will come back to arrange it. Make it clear to the other tenants that I like silence, and tell them to leave me alone!"
Then he took out 20 yuan and gave it to landlord Liu. "The three families will give two yuan each, just as compensation, and the rest is the rent in advance."
Landlord Liu a see le's eyes are narrowed into a line, this officer but big. Silver dollars are no longer allowed to circulate in the market. The Nationalist government had just issued fiat money, which was at its highest value in history. Even on the black market you can get 12 silver dollars for 20 legal bills.
The rent for one room is $2 a month, and for three rooms it is $6 a month. As for the money paid to the lodgers, which one of these poor devils dared to say anything more, it naturally fell into his own pocket.
Landlord Liu promised, this is early in the morning to meet the god of wealth, should take their own fortune!
At dusk, Ning Zhiheng returned to the Liu courtyard. He parked his jeep outside the courtyard. Now Nanjing is the capital, after all, and the security is still good.
Moreover, American military jeeps are for the military, and no one can buy them. No blinding thief would steal something as sharp as this and not be able to fence it, and few thieves in this day and age would know how to drive a car.
He bagged his things one by one and put them in his room. The tenants in the courtyard, under orders from their landlord, knew that the officer did not like to deal with people, and kept away.
When it was late, and there were few amusements these days, people went to bed early in the evening. Ning Zhiheng waited until midnight, estimated that people are asleep. Then he locked the other two rooms, and shut the door of his own room from the inside. The reason why he rented the next two rooms, is afraid of digging a little noise to alarm the neighbors.
The room is not large, consisting of an outer room and a bedroom. Estimate also is landlord later to rent a house oneself begin work partition come out.
A careful survey of the ground quickly determined the exact location of the burial, which should be in the northwest corner of the bedroom. He gently lifted the black bricks from the floor and took out a steel spade from the bag.
Then, in the dim light, he began to dig down, as quietly as he could for fear of making a noise. He remembered that the gold ingot was buried more than two meters deep, otherwise it would not have been discovered for so many years.
Fortunately, he is strong and has more physical strength than ordinary people. After digging for more than an hour and feeling close to the depth, there came a clear clashing sound at my feet.
Ning Zhiheng exultation, it seems that the position is not wrong. He continued to dig, and soon two earthen urns the size of water jars appeared in front of him.
He removed the clay, and the mouth of the urn was covered with layers of porcelain plates. Ning zhiheng was also an observant player in a previous life, and could tell that the plates were all ordinary porcelain fired in folk kilns. It would have been expensive in a past life, but it's not worth much today.
After all, after liberation, especially in that turbulent decade, a large number of cultural relics were destroyed, many of which were considered as unique national treasures. Once destroyed, not more than one in a thousand remained.
In the 21st century, even porcelain from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, fired in a folk kiln, can fetch a good price. However, at present, the stock of cultural relics in the country is still very large, and the porcelains fired by official kilns must be old enough, or they cannot be sold at a good price.
