Chapter 815: A Baby from Heaven
Chapter 815: A Baby from Heaven
Huo Yisheng comforted: "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Although Huo Yiting's system is slightly different from his, he has been in a high position for many years, and now is a relatively peaceful era. The teams he led in the past did not have many opportunities to go to the front line for actual combat.
But he never lowers his demands on himself.
His physical fitness and professional abilities may not be as good as Huo Yisheng's, but they are certainly not bad.
It's not difficult to catch these one or two petty thieves.
Sure enough, after a while, Huo Yiting came back with a screaming person.
The man's arm was also removed. Behind him, a cavalry team rushed over after hearing the noise. One of the soldiers was holding something like a bundle in his hand.
Huo Yisheng ordered the cyclists, "Light the torches!"
These two people must be dealt with immediately and in public.
In fact, when he and Huo Yiting were guarding outside the slum at the beginning, they were not sure what these two people were doing.
It was even similar to Ye Shu's guess, that they were here to steal building materials or wood.
After all, none of them had expected that there could be treasures hidden in this slum!
However, as soon as Huo Yisheng heard Ye Shu say "smash the wall", he realized that his prediction might be wrong.
The cyclists obeyed orders and the torches were lit the moment they gave an order.
The firelight almost illuminated the entire long street. At least, now the open space on the long street in front of the slum, Courtyard No. 1 and Courtyard No. 2 was brightly lit, and any situation could be seen at a glance.
The two men who were captured and had their arms removed looked unfamiliar to Ye Shu and the others, but the onlookers knew them!
Someone immediately exclaimed, "Oh my God! Isn't this Boss Yu and Old Man Luo?"
Boss Yu was the man controlled by Huo Yisheng. His jaw was removed. Lao Zhou was worried that he would damage his throat by breathing in cold air with his mouth open, so he kindly took off his socks and stuffed them into his mouth.
He looks to be in his forties or fifties, and because his father-in-law, who is in his seventies or eighties, is still alive in his family, everyone still calls him Boss Yu.
The other man Huo Yiting brought back was Old Man Luo, who was a few years older than Boss Yu.
But just looking at him, Boss Yu seemed to be even older than Old Man Luo. His hair was all gray, and his face was untidy and scruffy, making him look very old.
The crowd looked at the big bag that the cyclists had placed on the open space. On the outside was a very worn blue print. No one knew if it was originally there or was torn in the recent snatch. There were several holes in the blue print.
The bundle was opened, revealing several square blocks wrapped in oil paper cloth, all tightly fitting together, scattered about inside.
Each block is two palms long and one palm wide. The heights vary, but they all look big.
Everyone was surprised: "What is this?"
"Oh, it's not some treasure, is it?"
"Hasn't there been a rumor lately that there are treasures hidden in the Ding family's houses? Could this be it?"
"Oh, it's possible!"
"So Boss Yu stayed up all night to steal the treasure, but was snatched away from behind by Old Man Luo?"
"Isn't this like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?!"
"How did Boss Yu know about the Ding family's treasure?"
"Are you stupid? The Yu family originally lived in this compound! When they moved last time, they must have been afraid that their treasures would be seen by others. Now they heard that the compound was going to be renovated, so they couldn't hold it back anymore! They were afraid that their hidden treasures would be taken away, so they came here in the middle of the night!"
Everyone agreed with this analysis and found it very reasonable.
While everyone was talking, the little soldier had already cut open an oil-paper package with a knife.
There was indeed a square, ordinary box in the oil paper package. There was no lock on the surface of the box, but there was a hidden buckle.
The soldier fumbled around and opened it, revealing a box full of gold bars.
The golden luster shone with a strange and alluring light under the reflection of the fire.
There was a sudden burst of very obvious gasps from the crowd, and then no one spoke.
All eyes fell greedily on the little soldier's box of gold.
It goes without saying what's in the other boxes.
Huo Yiting frowned and looked at Huo Yisheng.
The two brothers looked at each other. Needless to say, Huo Yisheng could understand Huo Yiting's thoughts.
He regretted handling the case on the spot!
The discovery of gold could have a significant or minor impact on the masses.
Especially in a world like this, it is possible that some negative influences will be triggered.
Faced with such a thing, Huo Yiting's first reaction was to investigate and deal with it secretly.
But Huo Yisheng's choice was exactly the opposite of his. He guessed that Boss Yu and Old Man Luo might have stolen treasures, so he deliberately chose to try them in public immediately.
Because in his opinion, hidden dangers cannot be covered up and will explode sooner or later.
Since it's going to explode, why not just do it sooner rather than later?
At least they are all prepared now, instead of being suppressed and not knowing when they will collectively explode when they are unprepared.
So, he nodded expressionlessly at Huo Yiting, then gestured to Lao Zhou: "Let him speak."
The smelly socks were taken out of Boss Yu's mouth and his mouth was closed, but he huddled there with his head down and did not speak a word.
Huo Yisheng ordered the cyclists, "Go and bring his family here."
If he doesn't speak, he won't believe that his other family members won't speak either.
But his order was obviously misunderstood by Boss Yu, who thought that he was going to torture his family to threaten him.
So he quickly said: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Ahem... "
But he had just inhaled too much cold air with his mouth open, and then his mouth was blocked. Now his throat was dry and itchy, and he couldn't stop coughing as soon as he spoke.
Huo Yisheng was very patient at this moment: "Give him some water."
Seeing that he had no choice but to confess today, Boss Yu closed his eyes, made up his mind, and said, "I stole these treasures!"
"When I was young, I accidentally tripped when I went out to get up at night. I was shocked at the time. After seeing what it was, I thought that God saw that my family was living a miserable life, so he sent a baby to help us overcome our suffering!"
Everyone's eyes flickered when they heard this. How could this be a treasure sent from heaven to relieve suffering? If God was really so kind, how could there still be poor and pitiful people in this world?
This is clearly the Ding family’s treasure!
Boss Yu continued to explain. In short, his family relied on this gold to get through the difficult years. Almost half of it was spent, and this was the remaining half.
Some are gold, some are valuable treasures such as pearls and jade.
