Chapter 3 Calculation
The success of stealing jade was not discovered by anyone, and when the cold sweat behind him gradually subsided, a burst of ecstasy also emerged in Qin Wuyi's heart.
He began to plan what to do with this jade pendant next, of course, he would inevitably take it to the market of the Western Regions City and sell it, and after exchanging money, he could not have the slightest publicity, and he could not expose any clues, once it was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qin Wuyi only knew that this jade pendant was worth a fortune, but he didn't know how much it could be sold for.
There are three kinds of general base currencies in the transcendent world: gold, silver, and copper, and the rounding system between them is one hundred.
In other words, one gold coin can be exchanged for one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin can be exchanged for one hundred copper coins.
As for what the silver and gold coins looked like, Qin Wuyi had no idea at all, and the income he could get from cleaning the cemetery for a year would never exceed a hundred copper coins.
Therefore, in Qin Wuyi's view, a silver coin is already an astronomical amount, and the so-called priceless value is just a concept of nothingness.
No matter how much money this jade pendant is exchanged for, it must not be used to improve his life, otherwise he will be exposed and can only be used to treat his father.
And you can't invite Langzhong, it's best to go into the city in the middle of the night and get the medicine back, quietly boil it, and clean up all the medicine residue before dawn.
Before Qin Wuyi could make all plans, the funeral procession on the way home suddenly stopped, and the person blocking the way was the head of the Guo family, followed by a few young men of the Guo family.
This is not in accordance with etiquette, according to the funeral rites prevailing in the transcendent world, all the people of the Guo family should kneel and bow in the mourning hall at this time, listen to the Taoist priest chanting sincerely, and spend time for the souls of the dead, until the funeral procession returns home, before the ceremony can be ended and lunch begins.
And the head of the Guo family should set an example and set an example in the mourning hall.
Could it be that something is going to happen?
Qin Wuyi thought uneasily.
It can't be that you have been discovered by stealing jade, right?
Qin Wuyi's heart was pounding, almost jumping out of his throat, and he pressed his head very low, for fear of being seen.
Fortunately, the head of the Guo family was just passing by, and after passing shoulders with the funeral procession, he walked straight in the direction of the cemetery, and there was no communication between the two.
Why did the people of the Guo family appear here?
Qin Wuyi quickly thought of the answer, the reason was very simple, it was to catch the tomb robbers!
Generally speaking, the act of robbing tombs must only happen at night, but what tomb robbers can think of, of course the Guo family can also think of, and the jade pendant is such an important thing, so people will inevitably be sent to guard it at night, and tomb robbers will have no chance to start.
So, if you do the opposite, in fact, the best time to rob the tomb is to leave after the funeral team buries the coffin, and until the time of returning to the Guo family, the cemetery is categorically unguarded, and everyone has to rush back to the mourning hall to fulfill their filial piety and send the old grandmother on the last journey.
In addition, the jade pendant of the old grandmother of the Guo family was not put into the coffin, but fixed on the coffin lid, so it was only necessary to dig up the new soil that had just been filled, and the jade pendant could be easily stolen and walked away, without delaying for long.
Even if the Guo family sent someone back to guard as soon as the funeral was over, it would be too late.
If the tomb robbers really make such a risky choice, they must first be based on the Guo family's commitment to filial piety and etiquette.
But obviously, the Guo family doesn't care about the so-called etiquette and filial piety, all they care about is the jade pendant, and looking at the appearance of the head of the Guo family, it seems that someone will take advantage of this time to rob the tomb, so that they can go to arrest it with confidence.
Qin Wuyi returned to the Guo family in anxiety, because the young men of the Guo family all went to the cemetery, so that Qin Wuyi could eat another full meal, and successfully got some leftovers to take home to his father.
The remaining task is to clean the courtyard again after lunch, and send away the Taoist priests of the Wuji Sect and the relatives and friends who came to worship, and the day's work is considered to be successfully completed.
When he returned to the cemetery, Qin Wuyi saw the people of the Guo family tying up the two teenagers and dragging them, beating them all over with blood, and they passed him with a high spirit.
The head of the Guo family actually showed a rare smile to Qin Wuyi, as if he was praising him for his good crying performance today, and he would not be held accountable for the leftovers that Qin Wuyi was carrying.
Glancing secretly, the corners of Qin Wuyi's mouth twitched fiercely.
He knew the two teenagers who were tied up, they were the two long-term workers in the family of the village chief of Xishan Village, called Dacheng and Shaocheng, they were a pair of brothers with wooden personalities, and they only knew that they worked hard to support their elderly mother and young sister, and they were a pair of well-known stuffy gourds, nicknamed Dumb Dogs.
The village chief also took a fancy to the two brothers' lack of conversation, as if their ears and tongues were all used for decorations, so he chose them to be his long-term worker.
Could it be that the two brothers, Dacheng and Shaocheng, really took advantage of this time to rob the tomb?
If this is the case, it must have accepted the gesture of the village chief!
The conscience of heaven and earth, fools know that these two brothers would never do such a thing!
Qin Wuyi shook his head secretly, and quickly left the Guo family as if he had fled.
Unexpectedly, the village chief actually had a mind about the Guo family's jade pendant, the Guo family and the village chief's family have always been at odds, and they can't wait to replace them as soon as possible.
Because they care about the fate of the two brothers, Dacheng and Shaocheng, and the real jade pendant has been successfully stolen by themselves unconsciously, the two brothers of Dacheng and Shaocheng are somewhat a bit of a substitute for themselves.
After Qin Wuyi served his father for lunch, he actually returned to the Guo family by ghost, and he didn't even have time to take a look at the jade pendant he had stolen.
Qin Wuyi didn't have time to look at it, and he didn't dare to look at it, for fear that an inadvertent action would be noticed and the matter would be revealed.
However, what Qin Wuyi didn't expect was that the Guo family at this time was already like a net spread out, waiting for him to surrender.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the Guo family, Qin Wuyi sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, as if his heart was pinched by a big hand, and his body trembled violently in pain.
However, Qin Wuyi, who had not experienced much of the world, did not realize this kind of physical instinctive warning, and after taking a few deep breaths, he resolutely raised his feet and walked into the courtyard of the Guo family.
Boom!
There was a slap on the head, Qin Wuyi only felt dizziness in the back of his head, and then he fell to the ground softly, and his eyes were covered with a layer of blood red.
"Tie up this demon for me!"
The head of the Guo family roared hoarsely.
It was hard to imagine that after being slapped with a smothered stick, Qin Wuyi could still maintain a weak consciousness without falling unconscious, which also enabled him to soberly witness what was going on.
Three wooden stakes had already been erected in the courtyard of the Guo family, and the two brothers Qin Wuyi and the dumb dog were tied to the stakes respectively, bearing the eyes of everyone, and what was even more shameful was that the two brothers were stripped of their clothes and displayed naked.
The village chief of Xishan Village also came, or he didn't leave at all, and he was also one of the guests who came to pay homage to the old grandmother of the Guo family.
"Brother Guo, you should be aware of this matter, the old man is the head of Xishan Village, how could he hit the idea on your old grandmother's jade pendant?
It's all these two goddamn bastards, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, couldn't steal the jade themselves, and wiped the old man's face with mud!"
The village chief blushed and defended himself indignantly with a red face.
"Yes, how could the village elder do such a thing as robbing the tomb, it must be these two bastards who have lost their conscience and have been blinded by lard, and let the village elder be humiliated for no reason!"
The person who answered the call was Li Lao Donkey, and what he said was conclusive.
The village chief looked at Li Lao Donkey with satisfaction, what he needs most now is this kind of person who "understands things" and can stand up for him at a critical moment to wash away his grievances.
"As for why the jade pendant disappeared, I can guarantee that this kid must have done something!
Lord Guo, I saw with my own eyes that this kid stole his grandmother's jade pendant, and I can't be wrong!"
As soon as Old Donkey Li turned around, he said to the head of the Guo family again, his raised arm and stretched out index finger were facing Qin Wuyi, and he said viciously.
"Okay, search for me! As long as you can find the jade pendant, you will be rich!"
The head of the Guo family ordered.
"Lord Guo, this kid has been home once, maybe he has already transferred the stolen goods, and now he is searched, I'm afraid he won't be able to find out. ”
Old Donkey Li shook his head and said, the only remaining single eye shot out a vicious light, blinking constantly.
"Well, it makes sense, it's better to search it first, if you can't find it, it must be transferred!"
The head of the Guo family nodded and said.
"If that's the case, you'll have to find trouble with Qin Tong's old dog, this old dog is not a good thing, it must be this father and son who joined forces to calculate the old grandmother's jade pendant!
After cleaning the cemetery all these years, their father and son don't know how much money they have made from the dead, the village chief, such a scumbag must not take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the cemetery!"
Li Lao Donkey continued to say without losing any time.
"The old man has his own decision in this matter, as long as the father and son of the Qin family really steal the jade pendant of the old grandmother of the Guo family, the old man will definitely deal with it impartially and let his father and son receive the punishment they deserve.
And Lao Cai, you have made meritorious reports, and the responsibility of cleaning the cemetery in the future will naturally belong to you. ”
The village chief promised awe-inspiringly.
"Then thank you to the village elder, I will definitely work hard, guard the cemetery for everyone, and never steal like Qin Tong's old dog!"
Li Lao Donkey achieved his goal and said with satisfaction.
This is a full rag, seeing that the problem of old age and infirmity is becoming more and more obvious, it is no longer a long-term idea to work long and short, and sweeping the grave is the way out he seeks for the rest of his life.
For such a purpose, no matter whether Qin Wuyi stole jade or not, Li Lao Donkey would take advantage of the topic and buckle this basin on Qin Wuyi's head.
What's more, the jade pendant is really on Qin Wuyi's body, this time, Qin Wuyi is destined to be doomed.
