Chapter 921: The Box in the Clay Statue

After the police officer holding the small box was shocked for a while, he closed his eyes and took a big deep breath, then said to Captain Zhang, who was full of shock:

"Captain Zhang, what should we do with these things?"

It could be heard that this police officer's voice was a bit trembling, which shows how much visual impact this gold had on a person.

And at this time, this police officer was holding the gold with both hands, just like holding a hot potato, which made this police officer a bit at a loss.

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang subconsciously looked at Sun Nian with inquiring eyes.

Clearly, Captain Zhang was also a bit stunned. Of course, being stunned was one aspect, but mainly, the value of so much gold had already exceeded the scope of normal people's thinking.

Although Sun Nian was also surprised that this group of loan sharks could collect so much gold, Sun Nian had seen big scenes after all, because when Wang An and the others went to pan for gold, Sun Nian also shared a full 180-plus jin of gold.

So although this 20-plus jin of gold was very eye-catching and shocking, Sun Nian truly didn't have much psychological fluctuation.

Noticing Captain Zhang's eyes, Sun Nian thought for a moment and said:

"Seal it, and deal with it after bringing it back to the bureau."

From beginning to end, Sun Nian didn't move a step, as if this box of gold was just a box of ordinary stones.

Just like that, under Sun Nian's arrangement, this box of gold was covered again and sealed.

Immediately after, everyone continued to search.

Soon, a police officer found another small box in the belly of a clay statue being worshipped.

Of course, saying it was found is not accurate; to be precise, it should be said it was dropped out.

Because there were quite a few people searching in this room, so I don't know who inadvertently hit the table where the clay statue was placed very hard.

Maybe it was hit too hard, causing this clay statue to slide down from the table.

Then with a "clatter," the whole clay statue was shattered.

Then, such a small box fell out.

This small box looked exactly the same as the box containing gold, and it didn't look light in weight.

Because after it was dropped out, it didn't slide or roll on the ground, but was firmly fixed.

It must be said, this damn Wei Cheng is truly damn cunning. Who would have thought that a clay statue usually used for burning incense and worship would have a hole dug in the bottom by him?

If it were a normal person, they wouldn't dig a hole in a clay statue used for worship!

Similarly, if it were a normal person searching, they would never think of picking up the clay statue to take a look.

This time, this police officer might have known that this box was of great importance, so after picking up the box from the ground, he didn't open the box and directly handed it to his superior, Captain Zhou.

And after Captain Zhou took the box, he was even more straightforward, didn't even look at it, and directly took the box to Sun Nian.

Sun Nian subconsciously took the box, but her beautiful big eyes were full of doubt.

Of course, everyone present also looked here. Clearly, everyone was curious about what was packed in this box.

Mainly, this box was hidden in such a place that everyone couldn't think of, so it must be more precious than the box of gold before.

Sun Nian herself was not a procrastinating person, so in the curious eyes of everyone, Sun Nian opened this small box.

It was just that after everyone looked at the things in this box, they were all stunned, and each and every one of their eyes was clearly more unbelievable than when they saw the gold before.

And the person who felt the most unbelievable here was Wang An, who had been soy-saucing along the way.

Because the things packed in this box were neither money, nor IOUs, nor gold that was quite expensive, but a piece of folded deer skin.

Regarding deer skin, Wang An could be said to have a special fondness for it, because whether it was the map of the old Anzi or the map of panning for gold, they were all recorded on deer skin.

Of course, Sun Nian and Wang Li also saw the deer skin in Wang An's hand that marked the gold mine.

So after Sun Nian discovered that it was deer skin in the box, her eyes subconsciously looked at Wang An.

At the same time, Wang Li also looked at Wang An.

Among the people present, perhaps only these three knew what such a big piece of deer skin meant.

Although Wang An also wanted to see the truth of this deer skin, Wang An still stopped his steps.

Mainly, with so many police officers present, what would it be if he still looked so concerned?

Sun Nian stabilized her mind and took this deer skin out of the box.

It was just that what people didn't expect was that when Sun Nian pulled this deer skin out, what was wrapped inside the deer skin was gold again.

However, this time the gold was in one piece, and it appeared in a very irregular shape, with sand and small stones and other debris inlaid on it.

Clearly, this was a piece of dog-head gold (nugget) that was quite expensive. I don't know where that old bastard Wei Cheng got it from.

The name of dog-head gold can be said to be known to everyone; after all, this thing was something offered to the emperor in ancient times.

And the dog-head gold that can be preserved in the folk is definitely a rare existence like a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn.

If an official in ancient times could offer a piece of dog-head gold to the emperor, then promotion and getting rich would definitely be something to look forward to.

Therefore, looking at this dog-head gold that was only the size of a palm, the breathing of everyone in the room instantly became rapid.

Wang An and Sun Nian and Wang Li also suddenly realized that the only function of this deer skin might be to wrap the dog-head gold, and there was no such situation as guessed before.

Sun Nian took a deep breath, wrapped the dog-head gold with the deer skin, put it back into the box, and said to the police officer who discovered it:

"Seal it, and deal with it after bringing it back to the bureau together."

The lid of the box was covered again, and everyone took back their eyes.

It's just that from everyone's not-so-calm expressions, it's not hard to see how restless everyone's hearts were.

A thug who lends high-interest loans in the township could scrape together so many good things, which truly makes people not know what to say.

Just like that, everyone continued to search.

It's just that until everyone searched all the things in the room, everyone didn't find any more good things or valuable things.

After walking out of this room, among those who were caught, I don't know who shouted:

"Officer, have those IOUs been found?"

Thanks to "Emperor of the Great Empire" for the reward, thank you, thank you.
