Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu also followed him in. Huang Dashui continued to shout,""Brother Kunming, are you home? I'm here to visit.”
"Yes, I am." A drowsy voice came from the room, followed by the sound of Razra's footsteps. Anyone who heard it would know that the person walking was definitely not awake and could not lift his feet.
Zhang Kunming walked into the courtyard and rubbed his eyes."Big Brother Dashui, why do you have the time to come to my place? Come in quickly. I just bought a catty of new tea leaves at the market yesterday. I'll brew a pot now.”
"I wouldn't dare to say anything bad about Brother Kun Ming's tea.”Huang Dashui patted his belly and laughed.
"Big Brother Dashui, who are these two?" Zhang Kunming felt that Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu looked familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen them before.
As they spoke, they had already entered the house. Huang Dashui pointed at Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu and said,""They are from the Cultural Relics Bureau. They are here to excavate the ancient tomb we found on the mountain.”
Huang Dashui was straightforward. He felt that there was no need to hide anything about this matter. Originally, he had come here in the hope that Zhang Kunming would return the cultural relics, so he had already revealed Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu's identities.
Ye Fan politely extended his hand and shook hands with Zhang Kunming. Cheng Qingyu was wondering when she had become a member of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
After knowing that the two people Huang Dashui had brought over were from the Cultural Relics Bureau, Zhang Kunming was stunned. He then remembered why they looked familiar. Weren't they the man and woman who lived in Huang Linsheng's house?
Since his identity had already been made clear, Ye Fan was not prepared to hide it. He went straight to the point and said the purpose of his visit this time: "Brother Zhang, I won't beat around the bush with you. Actually, the purpose of my visit this time is to hope that you can hand over the cultural relics in your hands to the organization.”
" Big Brother Dashui, this…" Zhang Kunming looked at Huang Dashui helplessly. When they first entered the tomb, although Huang Dashui wasn't the first to discover it, he was the one who led the way.
Moreover, Huang Dashui was the deputy secretary of the village, so everyone treated him as the backbone.
"Don't worry, Brother Kunming. Let's sit down and talk." Huang Dashui sighed.”
" Okay, okay..." Zhang Kunming finally realized that he hadn't invited them to sit down since they came in.
Zhang Kunming was a little flustered as he poured a pot of tea before sitting down.
"Old Brother Zhang, don't be too nervous.”Ye Fan looked at Zhang Kunming's flustered expression and could not help but comfort him.
" No…" Zhang Kunming said no. However, he was still nervous and stuttered,""Are you really…from the Cultural Relics Bureau?”
Ye Fan's answer was very simple. There were only four words: "It's the real deal."
Hearing Ye Fan's answer, Cheng Qingyu thought to himself, This guy is really good at fooling people. He doesn't even blush when he lies, and he's even telling the truth.
"Brother Zhang, I won't beat around the bush with you. The things you took out are cultural relics and belong to the country. According to the law, these things don't belong to individuals, but the property of the country.”Ye Fan tried his best to keep his tone calm.
Zhang Kunming nodded like a chicken pecking at grains."I understand, I understand."
"The purpose of my visit this time is to collect the cultural relics in your hands. Of course, the tomb was discovered by you after all. The organization won't let you work for nothing. Here is 5,000 yuan, consider it a reward from the organization.”Ye Fan took out 5,000 yuan from his pocket and placed it in front of Zhang Kunming.
"I can't do that." Zhang Kunming hurriedly waved his hand and pushed the money back to Ye Fan.
"This is not from me, but a reward from the organization. Now, Brother Huang Linsheng, Brother Dashui, and Brother Dashun have all received 5,000 yuan and returned the cultural relics to the organization. I hope you can accompany me in our work and not make things difficult for me.”Ye Fan picked up the money and placed it in front of Zhang Kunming again.
"Brother Kun Ming, just accept the money.”Seeing that Zhang Kunming was going to refuse, Huang Dashui stuffed the money into his hands.
Huang Dashui picked up a bowl of tea and moistened his throat.""Dashui, this money is a reward from the organization. If you don't accept it, you'll make things difficult for them.”
Zhang Kunming looked up at Ye Fan and then looked at Huang Dashui. He opened his mouth but hesitated as if he didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only sigh and put the money in his pocket.
Huang Dashui put down his teacup, his expression a little awkward. He thought about it and said,""Brother Kun Ming, I won't hide it from you. The things we took out from the tomb are all valuable cultural relics.”
"Even the smallest thing is worth more than 5,000 yuan. But don't give you 5,000 yuan and you'll suffer a big loss. Think about it carefully. Those things belong to the organization.”Huang Dashui persuaded him to return the relic.
" Big Brother Dashui, I…" Zhang Kunming's expression turned ugly. He wanted to say something but stopped.
In the past, Zhang Kunming would have agreed without hesitation. However, his family was in a special situation now. He had rented a five-mu fish pond in the village to raise fish with the Huang brothers.
However, he did not expect that after working hard for half a year, the fish he raised would start to die mysteriously. In just a few days, most of them died.
Although his family was not bad, because of the fish pond incident, he almost lost all his family property. His wife also fell ill because of this incident, and now his family was short of money to see a doctor.
As for the fish pond, after Huang Dashui invited experts to examine it, they found that the problem was with the fish feed. It turned out that Zhang Kunming was trying to be cheap, so the fish feed he used was mixed with fake food. There was a substance that was harmful to the fish.
The incubation period of this substance was half a year. Once the incubation period was over, the fish would begin to die in large numbers. Zhang Kunming found the company that he bought the feed from, but found that the other party had long run away.
Later, Zhang Kunming took out some things from the tomb. He planned to sell them to his wife after his family's money was spent. However, now Ye Fan was representing the Cultural Relics Bureau to collect the cultural relics, which completely disrupted his plan.
Huang Dashui knew about Zhang Kunming's family. He hesitated for a moment, and without Zhang Kunming's approval, he took the initiative to spill the beans.
After Ye Fan heard this, his heart sank. He knew that Zhang Kunming had encountered something, so he wanted to leave the cultural relics behind in exchange for some money to treat his wife's illness.
Thinking of this, Ye Fan took out the remaining 15,000 yuan from his pocket and placed it in front of Zhang Kunming."Including the 5,000 yuan just now, this is a total of 20,000 yuan. Brother Kunming hopes that you can hand over the cultural relics to the organization.”
Ye Fan wasn't a kind-hearted person, but Zhang Kunming's experience made him feel like he was on the same level as him. However, Zhang Kunming was luckier than him. He had even paid for his family's vegetarian food.
"I still have two thousand here.”Cheng Qingyu, who had been silent all this while, took out a stack of money from his wallet and placed it in front of Zhang Kunming.
Huang Dashui slapped his forehead and said,""Look at my memory. The 10,000 yuan that Specialist Li gave me and Dashun is still in my pocket.”
Huang Dashui took out 10,000 yuan from his pocket and placed it on the table. "Brother Kun Ming, this 10,000 yuan is my gift to you. You must accept it."”
"Big Brother Dashui." The corners of the man's eyes became moist, and his voice was choked with sobs."Consider this money as a loan from me. I'll definitely return it to you in the future.”
Zhang Kunming turned his head and looked at Ye Fan and Cheng Qingyu gratefully. He tried his best not to cry."I don't want this 17,000 yuan. I know that this is for the other three families. I'm willing to return the cultural relics I took from the tomb to the organization.”
"Brother, you're too polite. This money is what you deserve. Although it's more than the policy, your family's situation is special, so I took the liberty to give this money to you first.”Ye Fan looked straight at Zhang Kunming and stuffed the money into his arms.
Zhang Kunming shook his head stubbornly and insisted on returning the money to Ye Fan. He said in a trembling voice,"I'm very happy that you have this kind of heart. I don't expect anything more. With Brother Dashui's 10,000 yuan and the 5,000 yuan from the organization, my wife's illness will definitely be cured.”
As he said this, Zhang Kunming quickly calculated how much money he had at home. The savings at home, the 10,000 yuan given to him by Dashui, and the 5,000 yuan from the organization were definitely enough for his medical expenses.
Since Zhang Kunming insisted on refusing, Ye Fan did not force him. He took back the money and Cheng Qingyu also took back her share.
When Ye Fan saw Cheng Qingyu take back the money, he thought to himself that although this girl had big breasts and no brains, and her temper was changeable, her heart was not bad.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Kunming generously handed over the cultural relics he had taken out from the tomb to Ye Fan. Seven jade plates, three pearl chains, and five gold bracelets.
After putting away the cultural relics, Ye Fan's mind was no longer here. He took the cultural relics and left. He brought Cheng Qingyu back to the mountain and handed these cultural relics to Li Luo before starting the next step of the plan.
Zhang Gensheng's matter could be said to have been completed successfully. Next up were the remaining three. Ye Fan found a problem with Zhang Kunming, and that was that the whole matter did not seem to be as difficult as he thought.
In the hearts of the villagers here, as long as it was related to the organization, they could not afford to offend it. Therefore, as long as Ye Fan used the name of the Cultural Relics Bureau, it would be much easier to ask for the lost cultural relics.
Thinking about this clearly, Ye Fan's original plan also changed a little. He decided to gather the other three families together and tell them the truth.
As long as he kept using the name of the Cultural Relics Bureau, this matter wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, it wasn't just about retrieving the cultural relics. After all, Li Luo had applied for compensation. Everyone could get 5,000 yuan.
In such a remote village, 5,000 yuan was equivalent to a family saving for a year without eating or drinking.
"Big Brother Dashui, I want to ask you for a favor.”After Ye Fan finalized his plan, he needed Huang Dashui's help, so he spoke his mind.
"I want to use your name to hold a banquet tonight and let the other three families come over. At that time, I want to use this opportunity to take back the cultural relics in their hands in one fell swoop.”
Since Huang Dashui had already agreed to help them, he naturally wouldn't waste time on these matters. He immediately agreed, saying that there was no problem.
He was speechless along the way.
It had only been less than an hour since he left, but Ye Fan had already returned with a pile of cultural relics. This inevitably made Li Luo think even more highly of him.
"Uncle Li, it was all thanks to Big Brother Dashui's help this time.”Ye Fan touched his nose humbly.
Li Luo didn't believe Ye Fan's words. After putting away the cultural relics, he said,"Do I not know you? I realized that you are not being humble, but hiding your strength.”
"Uncle Li, I've contributed this time. Don't forget what you promised us. You invited us to participate in this archaeological event.”Cheng Qingyu would not hide his thoughts in front of Li Luo.
Li Luo lovingly flicked Cheng Qingyu's forehead and said,""As for the other three, when you find the rest of the cultural relics, I'll invite you to participate in this archaeological event.”
"Hmph, annoying." Cheng Qingyu whined coquettishly.
" Uncle Li, I want to do this to recover the lost cultural relics..." Ye Fan immediately told Li Luo the plan in his heart in detail.
After all, he needed to carry out this matter in the name of the Cultural Relics Bureau. After thinking about it, he felt that it was necessary to tell Li Luo to avoid more trouble in the future.
After hearing Ye Fan's plan, Li Luo frowned.""I don't object to you using the name of the Cultural Relics Bureau to do this. After all, you're helping the Cultural Relics Bureau to do this, but you must remember that you can't use this matter to bully the village name, understand?”
"Uncle Li, what kind of person do you take Ye Fan for? He won't bully others casually.”Without waiting for Ye Fan to speak, Cheng Qingyu first felt indignant for Ye Fan.
In fact, Li Luo's words were not meant to warn Ye Fan. He just wanted to remind him to prevent him from taking the wrong path. That was why he said that.
After all, Li Luo had lived for decades and had seen such things before. Some young people with good temperaments would go astray because they had some power in their hands and become complacent.
Ye Fan pulled Cheng Qingyu over and glared at her."Alright, girl. Uncle Li just doesn't want me to go down the wrong path because of this little power. You're thinking too much.”
With Ye Fan's temperament and thinking, he could naturally understand the meaning behind Li Luo's words. He was also a little touched. Ever since his father passed away, it had been a long time since an elder would think about such details for him.
When Li Luo heard Ye Fan say this, he was also happy in his heart. However, his face revealed an aggrieved expression."Ye Fan, you kidnapped Xiao Yu? Why does she only know how to protect you when something happens? She doesn't even know how to speak up for this old man.”
After saying that, Li Luo looked at Cheng Qingyu twice, indicating that he was very wronged.
After Li Luo said that you kidnapped Xiao Yu, you only know how to protect you when something happens. Cheng Qingyu's face instantly turned red to the ears. He grabbed Li Luo's arm and shook it back and forth."Aiyo, Uncle Li, what did you say? I was anxious just now.”
"Why is the little girl shy?" Li Luo did not intend to let go of this opportunity to tease Cheng Qingyu.
Li Luo didn't let go of this opportunity to tease Cheng Qingyu. After a few words, Cheng Qingyu's face was already red. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at Ye Fan.
Even Ye Fan was a little embarrassed. He thought to himself, Old Master, aren't you just randomly pairing up? Why are you forcefully pulling the two of us together?
Just as Li Luo was teasing Cheng Qingyu, Huang Linsheng ran over from afar in a panic as if his butt had been burned by fire.
"Master Ye, something has happened to Specialist Li.”Before he could get close, he shouted at the top of his lungs, his expression full of anxiety.
Looking at Huang Linsheng's flustered appearance, Ye Fan realized that something was wrong. Could it be about the cultural relics?
