stunned.

Wang Zhuyun held up the dead tree and looked at the gold brick under his feet. He looked back at Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling in disbelief: "Is it... really?"

Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling were also stunned.

Really?

Since the death of Hong Jiangtao, this shop has been successively occupied by Pi Sanhou and Huang Cuiying. How could it still hide such a secret?

Era Haidu felt that this was really unbelievable.

"Is it real gold?" Wang Zhuyun put the small tree aside and asked Ji Yuan Haiwen.

"It seems to be real, otherwise there would be no need to bother like this." Ji Yuanhai said, "Zhuyun, don't touch that thing first. Let's get a basin of water to wash it."

"People like Hong Jiangtao, Pi Sanhou and others are really dirty. If they want to hide something, they might have some disgusting tricks."

Wang Zhuyun nodded and fetched a basin of water.

Era Hai put on a pair of gloves and put the four- to five-pound gold brick into the water.

After cleaning, the color did not change when it was taken out. There was no abnormality. Ji Yuanhai shook it through his gloves and said, "It should be a real gold brick, or a large gold bar."

Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but said: "Is this what Hong Jiangtao left behind?"

"It's definitely not Huang Cuiying, and it's probably not Pi Sanhou...it can only be Hong Jiangtao." Ji Yuanhai said.

If Huang Cuiying knew there were gold bricks here, she would have no choice but to take them away; if Pi Sanhou knew there were gold bricks, he would definitely not be able to stay here.

Wang Zhuyun sighed: "It's really buried under the tree! I just said it casually, just for fun."

Lu Heling asked: "How much does this gold brick cost?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "How much does gold cost per gram now? If appropriate, it would be good to exchange it for money."

The main reason is that the purchasing power of money today is too strong, and the value of gold left in your hands is far less effective than investing in business or buying real estate in Era.

Ji Yuanhai's question stunned both Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun. Neither of them likes to wear gold and silver, and of course they don't know much about the current price of gold.

Ji Yuanhai also smiled to himself: "Let's ask about the gold price tomorrow. For now, I'd better get a tool and see if there are any other gold bricks down here. Maybe there's more than one."

Lu Heling found a shovel and handed it to Ji Yuanhai.

Jiyuanhai dug twice and dug out another ball of oil paper and two gold bricks of the same size, estimated to be more than four taels each.

"It must have been the roots of the tree that tore this oil-paper bag open..." Ji Yuanhai examined it and said, "Zhuyun, you brought me a lot of fortune today."

"If you hadn't persisted, we would have stopped looking; if we hadn't moved the tree, we wouldn't have found it."

Wang Zhuyun smiled and said: "This matter is not due to me alone, but to the three of us together."

"It was He Ling who reminded you that you felt abnormal. Then I felt it was funny and gave it a try. The three of us can't do it without one of us."

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "That's well said. The three of us can't survive without one of us."

After Ji Yuanhai finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Zhuyun.

Wang Zhuyun's cheeks were slightly red, with a smile on his face, and he turned his eyes to the side: "Do you think there will be gold bricks down here?"

Ji Yuanhai was slightly startled: "There is more? No way?"

"I've dug it anyway, let's give it a try." Wang Zhuyun said.

Ji Yuanhai nodded: "What you said is correct."

I dug up the soil with a shovel, and after digging for a while, I came across something a little hard.

Ji Yuanhai said to Wang Zhuyun in amazement: "Your intuition is really accurate!"

"There's really something!"

Wang Zhuyun and Lu Heling were both pleasantly surprised. Besides the three gold bricks, was there any unexpected gain?

That's really great.

Ji Yuanhai dug up the hard object. It turned out to be a small wooden box, which was rotten and not very decent. He used the corner of a shovel to pry it open, and the wooden box opened.

Inside was a heavily rusted iron box.

Ji Yuanhai opened the tin box and found something wrapped in oil paper again.

After tearing open the oil paper bag, Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun's surprise all turned into astonishment - a pistol and ten bullets, still intact.

Ji Yuanhai silently packed up the things, buried them again, moved a rose and planted them on top.

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun helped clean up the dirt in the yard.

Then the three of them took three gold bricks, took off the painting "I am the only one in heaven and the world", and returned to Fangcaoxuan.

"That was also buried by Hong Jiangtao?"

After closing the door of Fangcaoxuan, Wang Zhuyun couldn't help but ask.

Ji Yuanhai shook his head: "It was probably Hong Jiangtao's father or grandfather who buried it. It was a turbulent era with wars and chaos. It's understandable to have something to protect yourself."

"For us now, it looks pretty amazing."

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun both nodded: Isn't it amazing? As soon as the pistol and bullets came out, they were immediately stunned.

I never imagined that the "treasure" under the gold bricks would actually be this thing.

"This thing is useless to us anyway, so you don't need to take it to heart." Ji Yuanhai said, "Just let it sit in the soil."

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun nodded in agreement.

It's better not to touch such troublesome things.

Afterwards, Ji Yuanhai chatted with the two of them and asked them to go back to the back room to rest.

……………………………………………………

Early the next morning, Jiyuanhai opened for business and continued to sell flowers and plants.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi came together, and they also brought Yuan Zhonghua with them.

The three people carried wine and vegetables, making Ji Yuanhai, Lu Heling, and Wang Zhuyun all laugh.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Huo, if you are like this, it will be too troublesome for me to invite you in the future."

"Send an invitation and I'll wait for you to come here and treat me to dinner!"

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.

Yuan Zhonghua said: "I just like drinking, so I didn't bring anything else except wine."

Huo Lianshi smiled and said, "It's not too polite if I buy some dishes, right?"

"That's right, you guys get together politely, so I don't have to be polite."

Ji Yuanhai smiled and let them go in to talk. After entertaining the two guests, he closed the door for the time being and ate.

A table in the back room was fully prepared with food and wine, and there were no other outsiders, so six people sat down around the table.

Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun didn't drink, but Xiao Hongyi, Ji Yuanhai, Huo Lianshi, and Yuan Zhonghua all poured some wine.

After sitting down and greeting each other for a few drinks, Ji Yuanhai said:

"Brother Yuan, let me ask you something."

Yuan Zhonghua is a guest in the wine. If others don't raise their glasses, he himself takes a sip and says: "How can you be so polite when asking me about something? Just say no?"

"How is the price of gold recently? I'm going to buy a gold ring. Is the price of gold expensive?" Ji Yuanhai said.

Yuan Zhonghua smiled and said: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive at all."

"The price of gold has fluctuated greatly this year. In January, it was more than 60 yuan per gram, but now it is less than 30 yuan per gram."

"I estimate that the gold price is at its lowest now, and it is unlikely to go any lower."

"If you buy a gold ring now and sell it back a year later, you will still make a profit 80% of the time."

Ji Yuanhai nodded after hearing this. He already understood that if you buy gold now, you can't say how much you will earn, but you will certainly not lose much. Relatively speaking, the gold price is at the bottom now, and as long as you sell it, you will lose 80% of it.

So now is not a good time to sell those three gold bricks.

He said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, if I buy ten or eight gold rings, after a year, I can make a few hundred dollars by selling them out."

Yuan Zhonghua nodded: "One gram of gold earns ten yuan, and you earn twenty or thirty yuan from a ring. Can you earn two to three hundred yuan next year?"

"But you also have to think clearly. It's easy to exchange this gold from your hands, but if you buy it back again, the price won't be the same!"

"The price of gold has been really volatile this year. It's so cheap. I feel like it can't get any cheaper."

Huo Lianshi asked curiously: "Brother Yuan, why is it so cheap?"

"Of course we have to start with international events. By the way..." Yuan Zhonghua is really a know-it-all. He knows everything about astronomy and geography. He can talk about many things around him, both at home and abroad. Yes.

Ji Yuanhai, Huo Lianshi and others listened to his analysis of the gold price trend, and they all nodded repeatedly.

"Brother Yuan, you are definitely a talent hidden among the people. In the past, as long as there was a peasant uprising and someone like you was found, it would be people like Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing." Ji Yuanhai said with a smile.

Yuan Zhonghua laughed and scolded: "Xiao Ji, what you said is so unkind! Do you think I don't know that they are not good birds? Do you compare me with them? Do they have half of my character?"

Ji Yuanhai laughed.

Huo Lianshi also smiled and then looked at Ji Yuanhai:

"Yuan Hai, I haven't asked you yet... You asked me and Hong Yi to come here today and said you wanted to see us if you have something to do. What is it about?"

Ji Yuanhai pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Huo, that's what happened."

"You should all know that Pi Sanhou occupied Hong Jiangtao's shop on Flower and Bird Street. Hong Jiangtao had been killed by Yao. After Pi Sanhou entered the police station, he admitted that this shop was a trap for him. Those obtained by kidnapping are stolen goods."

"Of course they returned the shop to Hong Jiangtao's wife Huang Cuiying."

"Huang Cuiying hurriedly sold the shop to me and left with the money; so in addition to Fangcaoxuan, I had another shop."

Huo Lianshi said in surprise: "That's great! Yuan Hai and He Ling, I have to congratulate you. Your life is getting better and better now. Mother Ye will definitely be very happy!"

Xiao Hongyi stood up, holding the wine glass and said: "So we are invited to celebrate together! Then we really need to celebrate well. The bad guys like Pi Sanhou are finally punished, and Yuan Hai and you have new sources of wealth. !”

"Come on, let's drink this together, everyone will be happy!"

She took the initiative to stand up to receive the wine and toast. It could be seen that she was indeed different from ordinary women.

Because what she said stirred up the atmosphere, it was difficult for everyone to ruin the atmosphere.

Ji Yuanhai, Yuan Zhonghua, and Huo Lianshi joined in the toasts. Lu Heling and Wang Zhuyun also poured tea and stood up together.

After drinking this glass of wine, Ji Yuanhai said: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, I invite you here not just for the purpose of celebrating together, but also for another reason."

"In this shop, I plan to sell some weird gadgets from all over the world. Unlike my Fangcaoxuan, which is open two days a week, I plan to keep this shop open often."

"But He Ling and I are college students, so we definitely can't take care of this aspect at the same time, so we have to find the right person."

"This person must be someone we trust..."

Hearing this, Huo Lianshi pondered a little: "Yuan Hai, what do you and He Ling mean, do you need me to drop out of school to help you take care of your business?"

"If you feel this is appropriate, I can't do it..."

When Xiao Hongyi heard this, she frowned.

It would be such a loss to just drop out of school.

But if we really consider the loyalty of the people, Xiao Hongyi feels that she has to agree - who are Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling? He is Mama Ye’s daughter and son-in-law. Mother Ye was kind to Huo Lianshi, and everything Huo Lianshi has today can be attributed to her little by little guidance.

Huo Lianshi did this in order to repay his kindness, and Xiao Hongyi felt that she could only support him and not oppose him.

We are a loyal couple, not ungrateful white-eyed wolves!

Ji Yuanhai said: "Brother Huo, how can this be done?"

"You are a college student from a provincial university. You will be assigned a job directly after graduation. You have unlimited future prospects, but you cannot drop out of school."

"If you don't want to drop out, then suspend school temporarily? Will the school agree?" Huo Lianshi asked with some uncertainty.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Brother Huo, you really got it wrong. I have no intention of letting you drop out of school or drop out of school to help me. I didn't invite you here just to help you."

"He Ling and I think it would be best if Sister Hongyi can help us and help us take care of the business of this store!"

Huo Lianshi and Xiao Hongyi were both dumbfounded.

"Hong Yi? Can she do it?"

Xiao Hongyi waved her hand directly: "I... I definitely can't do it! I am a gangster, and I am okay at performing arts. I can't do anything else. I can't do it!"

"Yuan Hai, you think too highly of me. I really can't do it..."

As he spoke, Xiao Hongyi, who had always been a chivalrous person, turned red in embarrassment.

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Sister Hongyi, you don't have to worry about the purchase of all goods. All goods are sold at a price. You only need to remember the price. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just sell things. This kind of thing Are you still not doing well?"

Xiao Hongyi still shook her head: "If it were so easy, it would be the same if you found someone else to do it."

Ji Yuanhai said: "We can't trust others to do this. Sister Hongyi, we believe in you and want to ask for your help."

When Xiao Hongyi heard this, she felt a rush of blood rushing to her forehead. She subconsciously wanted to say: Since you think highly of me, I will help you with this!

But before the words came out, he suppressed them and looked at Huo Lianshi: "Tell me, can I do it?"

Huo Lianshi was still a little confused and uneasy: "Yuan Hai, can Hongyi do it? She doesn't know how to do calculations. When the time comes, the things will be sold, but how can she account for it with you?"

Ji Yuanhai said: "Calculate the total income once a month. There is no rent anyway. As long as you sell it, you will make a profit, and the rest will not count."

Huo Lianshi hesitated for a moment, always feeling that Xiao Hongyi might not have done well and delayed things.

Can she do it?

Yuan Zhonghua said from the side: "What is there to hesitate about?"

"Xiao Ji and his wife are the boss, and Xiao Hongyi is the shopkeeper. Haven't you understood? As long as the shopkeeper doesn't play tricks on the boss or deduct money himself, anyone can do this."

"But how long has it been since Xiao Ji and his wife came to the provincial capital? Do they have any truly trustworthy and reliable people? Just find someone who can write and be clever, and you have to steal it from Xiao Ji and his wife. How much?"

"Do you think so?"

When Yuan Zhonghua said this, Xiao Hongyi immediately said: "If you want me to do it, I will definitely not deduct a penny! I will definitely keep all the money for Yuan Hai and the others. Even if a mouse bites the money, I will pay it to Yuan Hai." ocean."

Yuan Zhonghua smiled and said: "Look, isn't this enough?"

"What Xiaoji and his wife want is such a trustworthy and reliable person!"

Xiao Hongyi finally nodded: "Then let me give it a try?"

Huo Lianshi said: "Let's try it for a month. If we really don't have the ability and make a mess, we have to tell Yuan Hai and the others quickly, and we can't delay their business!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and said: "Brother Huo, Sister Hongyi, how can I delay my business? It doesn't matter even if I lose everything."

"The top priority is that He Ling and I go to college, and Brother Huo also has to go to college."

"Business is just something we try to do. It's not that important. Sister Hongyi, you must not take this matter too seriously!"

Xiao Hongyi nodded, but what she was thinking in her heart was: If I can't do this, I'll lose the money and I won't be able to see anyone anymore!

Yuan Zhonghua took another sip of wine at this time and said, "Xiao Hongyi, let me ask you something."

"If you sell things here, will your friends from the world come?"

Xiao Hongyi immediately said: "Do you need to say this? How can I let them get involved in Yuan Hai and He Ling's serious matters? I won't let them know."

"Although my friends are all good and loyal guys, they are not familiar with Yuan Hai and He Ling. They will not ruin my business, but they may ruin Yuan Hai and He Ling's business. .”

"I'm definitely not going to tell them about this."

Huo Lianshi quickly agreed upon hearing this: "Yes, Hongyi, you must never say anything about this."

"The business between Yuan Hai and He Ling is not something we can use to show loyalty!"

"Well, of course I know." Xiao Hongyi said.

Yuan Zhonghua looked at Ji Yuanhai and smiled slightly: Look, the matter is settled.

Ji Yuanhai no longer had any other worries and said to Xiao Hongyi: "Then the matter is settled!"

"Sister Hongyi, you said I would give you forty yuan a month as salary, is that appropriate?"
