At this point, even Zhou Huilan was a little confused.

"He led the tomb robbers to find that tomb. Why are you crying so pretentiously now?"

Director An smiled, led Zhou Huilan and Lu Changqing to the desk, and opened a drawing drawn with a sketch pen. The longitude and latitude lines on it were very crude, which proved that the scale of the drawing was not large.

"He knew that there were high-ranking officials among his ancestors, and the treasures in the tombs were enough for him to pay off the loan sharks and to make a comeback. But he was old after all, and those tomb robbers were very greedy for money. He found that there was more than just this family nearby.

Of course, we couldn't let go of the tomb, so we just dug more and more. When we later found that area, even his grandfather's bones were thrown out of the coffin, and the entire tomb group was worthless.

There’s nothing left.”

Although his ancestors from hundreds of years ago were considered ancestors, they were too far away after all. Duan Zhenghong felt no psychological pressure when digging his grave. But when he dug up his grandfather and grandfather a hundred years ago, his mood was completely different.

"Yes, he is selective. He wants to pick a rich ancestor to attack and pay off his gambling debts, which can be regarded as his ancestors blessing him. But this tomb robber will not tell him this. From beginning to end, even the woman's hand

Even the gold rings on it are not spared, which is equivalent to sweeping all the tombs of his ancestors, but his old man most likely doesn’t know about this."

This situation is indeed quite embarrassing, "So what happens to those tombs now?"

"In this situation, we can only conduct rescue excavations. After all, in addition to a prime minister, there are several petty officials behind them, but most of them are businessmen. The original archaeological value is not very great, and they have been destroyed.

If it is destroyed, it may be landfilled on the spot later.”

"Where is Duan Zhenghong? What will happen to him?" Zhou Huilan is actually very curious about what kind of retribution this evil person will have.

"He robbed ancient tombs and colluded with overseas personnel to resell cultural relics. He will definitely go to jail. However, considering his age, there may be other preferential treatment policies. After all, our government is still tolerant."

After chatting for a while with Director An about the restoration of the Duan family's old house, Zhou Huilan and Lu Changqing left the Cultural Relics Bureau.

"Dig or not... let's wait until this storm passes. The restoration of the old house will also cost a lot of money. If we really don't have enough money, it's not that we can't dig out the gold to restore the old house."

Lu Changqing also thought about this, "This is really hard to figure out. The brain circuit of this old man Duan is really beyond our comprehension."

So on a meeting day in the geriatric prison, Chow Huilan bought some daily necessities and cakes by herself, and went to the prison to meet Duan Zhenghong.

Zhou Huilan thought about asking the old man in person, but his case has never been concluded.

Because of their previous friendship, Director An also attached great importance to this matter and entrusted many people to finally arrange it for Zhou Huilan.

"If you're here, I know you'll definitely come to see me."

"But Mr. Duan, why didn't you tell the police about the gold buried under the house?" Zhou Huilan never figured this out.

At this point, all the land in the Duan family's old residence has been transferred to Zhou Huilan's name.

Knowing this situation, Zhou Huilan did not dare to delay at all. She and Lu Changqing pooled the cash in their hands and quickly bought Niu Guangsheng's yard through Director An's relationship.

Zhou Huilan nodded, thinking this method was not bad.

It was not until the end of July that Director An contacted Zhou Huilan again, saying that Duan Zhenghong had been deprived of political rights and sentenced to five years in prison. His property in China had also been seized. He also had a house on Songbai Street under his name, and asked Zhou Huilan if he wanted it.

Zhou Huilan and Lu Changqing had the same idea, "Should we still dig out those things under the ground?"

Listening to Duan Zhenghong talking about his prison life, Zhou Huilan was also a little moved. After all, he was over eighty years old and was locked up here alone.

Since Mr. Duan returned to An Ning, he and Zhou Huilan have basically been in a sworn rivalry mode. It is indeed strange that he did not block Zhou Huilan's path after being caught.

Upon closer inspection, the two of them were really unfamiliar. Zhou Huilan sat down awkwardly and picked up the receiver for the conversation.

After all, according to Director An, there are very few talents to repair such old buildings, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is definitely not something that can be solved with hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's just that Zhou Huilan really didn't know how to answer this enthusiasm.

The business of the melon seed factory was booming. Zhou Weijun and Lu Changqing discussed that they wanted to make an advertisement to promote it nationwide. Lu Changqing has been busy with this matter recently.

On the way home, Zhou Huilan thought of another question, "Mr. Duan came back just for the gold buried under the Duan family's old house. But that box was handed over to the country, what about the rest? Since he lost it

After the first box, he wanted the Duan family’s old house, and there must be more than just that box, so why didn’t he explain this matter to the country?”

When she went to the prison in the morning to hand over her belongings to the prison guards, Zhou Huilan learned that no one had visited Duan Zhenghong since he was arrested.

Duan Zhenghong, who was wearing prison uniform, completely lost his previous gentleness and elegance. When he saw Zhou Huilan, he smiled lightly and even showed a bit of kindness.

But without the funds to repair the house, Zhou Huilan thought of the gold underground in the old house, but before digging, she still wanted to see Duan Zhenghong again.

Lu Changqing also shook his head, "This is indeed a bit strange."

According to regulations, in Duan Zhenghong's case, if his assets are not enough to pay the fine, he will go through the auction process. Director An revealed in advance that if Zhou Huilan is willing to take the house, the property will not need to go through the legal auction process.

After a long time, when Duan Zhenghong finally had a chance to speak, Zhou Huilan quickly interrupted him, "Mr. Duan, the one under the old house..."

"You don't have to tell me that." Duan Zhenghong interrupted her firmly, but he smiled at Zhou Huilan's confused look, "I'm sorry for your mother-in-law, but I can't help myself, and now this place is mine.

Retribution, as for the other things, it’s your fate if you get it, you don’t need to tell me these things again.”

These words were confusing, and Zhou Huilan wanted to speak more clearly.

But he was interrupted again by Duan Zhenghong, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of here alive in this life. My only wish is to be buried with your mother-in-law after my death. I just don't know...if the country can satisfy me."

This idea.”

In the end, Chow Huilan failed to ask the question she wanted to ask, and the visit time came, so she could only leave the prison in a daze.
