Chapter 932

Thinking of this, Wang An went to the west wing room to find a broken iron shovel and continued digging in this pit.

It wasn't that Wang An didn't want to find a good iron shovel; it was mainly because those few good iron shovels had all been taken away by Sun Nian and the others along with those guns.

It could be said that this courtyard was now full of all kinds of junk, and there was basically nothing good left.

Sure enough, just as Wang An had expected, right below this porcelain jar, Wang An dug out another identical porcelain jar.

And the lid of this porcelain jar was also sealed with wax.

Wang An weighed it and felt that this jar was about the same weight as the previous one, so Wang An didn't open it and continued digging.

I have to say, the feeling of digging money out of the ground is quite satisfying.

Even though his brand-new police uniform was splattered with a lot of mud, Wang An didn't care at all.

Compared to this huge amount of money, what are clothes!

But as Wang An dug, he felt something was wrong.

Because the soil quality below was becoming harder and harder, which meant that the soil layer below had never been dug before.

And in soil like this, it is impossible for things to be buried.

Consequently, Wang An backfilled the pit with the soil he had dug out and pushed the tree leaves and withered grass he had pulled out back into the pit.

Trying his best to make the dog kennel look like it hadn't been dug, Wang An then walked toward the blue dog's kennel.

It was the same operation; Wang An also dug up two porcelain jars in this kennel, which were identical to the previous two.

Besides this, he also dug up a small porcelain jar in this kennel, which was two-thirds the size of the other four porcelain jars.

Wang An weighed it and felt it wasn't very heavy, but not light either, so he curiously scratched open the sealing wax on this jar.

Opening it to look, Wang An was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't very surprised.

Because the things contained in this small jar were a brand-new Type 54 pistol and a box of bullets; the rest were all kinds of ration coupons, mostly grain coupons, a small portion of oil coupons, some meat coupons and non-staple food coupons, as well as some industrial coupons.

However, these coupons all had one characteristic: they were all the type valid nationwide, not local coupons.

At this time, although the vast majority of things could be purchased without coupons, the price was much more expensive than buying with coupons.

But it was very obvious that the role of coupons was in the process of constantly weakening.

Of course, household appliances like televisions, refrigerators, and tape recorders still required coupons or industrial coupons to be purchased.

Mainly because these items were still quite in-demand products, and even in big cities, they were in short supply.

Besides the gun and these coupons, Wang An also discovered 3 letters of introduction in this small jar. Seeing these 3 letters of introduction, Wang An was truly shocked.

Because these 3 letters of introduction were actually for 3 different names.

One was Wei Guangcheng, another was Wei Dacheng, and the third was Wei Tiancheng.

Of course, this wasn't the most impressive part.

The most impressive part was that the issuing unit of one letter of introduction was the DJ County Beverage Factory, another was the JY County Textile Factory, and the third was the LQ County Food Factory.

Looking at these 3 letters of introduction that hadn't been filled with dates yet, Wang An was completely dumbfounded.

Because counting his past and present lives, this was the first time Wang An knew that letters of introduction could be played with like this.

Mainly, is a letter of introduction something that can be issued recklessly?

You have to know that the consequences of recklessly issuing letters of introduction in this day and age are truly not something an ordinary person can bear!

Because if you get caught, you'll have to squat in prison for several years, or even be rewarded with a bullet!

The key is that these 3 letters of introduction didn't even have a date filled in.

Oh my god, I am truly ignorant!

However, it was very obvious that through this pistol, this money, these coupons, and these 3 undated letters of introduction, one could guess that this old guy Wei Cheng was definitely prepared to run away at any time.

Perhaps he had long realized that in the business he was doing, something would go wrong sooner or later.

Because as long as he ran into a very tough nut to crack—that is, a tough nut that his interpersonal relationships couldn't handle—then he would definitely be finished.

Just like Li Xiuyu's family, which normally shouldn't have caused Wei Cheng any harm, but Wang An suddenly appeared halfway through.

The most infuriating thing was that Wang An brought the police officers from the county, descending like a god to deal with him; it could be said he didn't leave him any chance to prepare.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it had been a little later, dragged out, or if Sun Nian and the others had followed normal procedures—that is, finding Wei Cheng through Section Chief Huang—then this old guy Wei Cheng would most likely have run away in advance.

Mainly because Wei Cheng had prepared 3 sets of identities, so as long as he ran, in this era, the result would definitely be "no such person found."

Even his name and identity were changed; it could be said there was nowhere to find him, while Wei Cheng could change to a new place and continue living happily.

I have to admit, Wang An began to feel heartfelt admiration for this old guy Wei Cheng; the things his brain pondered were absolutely far ahead of everyone else at this time.

Putting these things all back into the jars, Wang An looked at the two large jars he had just dug up, but he didn't open them.

Because if there were no special circumstances, the things contained in these two jars were definitely also large-denomination bills.

That is to say, this old guy Wei Cheng had hidden a full 100,000 yuan in these two dog kennels.

100,000 yuan in this era was already a veritable astronomical figure; Wang An felt this should be all of Wei Cheng's cash.

Although the lending scope of Wei Cheng's group definitely wasn't just in Xing'an Township, just by hiding in Xing'an Township and relying on usury to scrape together so much money and gold, one can see how bloody and profitable usury is.

But it must also be said that the job of usury is really not something an ordinary person can do.

First, you must have money, because without capital, you can't do anything.

Second, and most importantly, you must have connections—very strong connections—meaning you have to be able to play both the black and white sides well.

Third, you must have people helping you work, and they must be the kind who dare to risk their lives and can be controlled.

Just like these subordinates of Wei Cheng, all of them owe Wei Cheng money, and it's the kind they can never pay back.

Finally, you must throw away the two words "humanity," because only when a person loses their humanity and becomes something worse than an animal can they commit all kinds of heinous crimes.

Thanks to "Large Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to "Black Brother Niu" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to "Listening to Fourth Old Man Zhou" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Wishing the three big brothers happiness, health, and wealth every day!
