Ning Zhiheng came to this courtyard in his previous life. It was when he was still proud of the officialdom. At that time, Nanjing’s urban area was renovated, and the urban planning classified this ancient building as a demolition.

The cultural relics department at that time also raised objections, but it did not play any role in the general trend.

So when the foundation was being excavated, two large urns of gold ingots were dug out on the ground of this compound. At that time, they were robbed by construction workers and onlookers. The scene was extremely chaotic. One person died and many people were injured due to the robbery.

It was too late to wait until the police arrived to control the situation. Although the recovery work was carried out for a long time in the later period, most of the gold ingots were still lost in the chaos.

At that time, Ning Zhiheng was one of the officials sent by the government to handle the accident. He also surveyed the scene with experts from the cultural relics department at that time and locked the location where the gold ingots were dug out.

Later, the report of the Cultural Relics Department showed that this courtyard was built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty and was the mansion of an official surnamed Sun at that time. Therefore, it was always named after Sun's home, but later it experienced wars and gradually became dilapidated. The gold ingot was dug out under the old site of the innermost house. Because it was buried deep, it was never found.

As for who buried it? And why so much wealth is hidden, because it is too old to verify.

Ning Zhiheng personally participated in this incident, so he still remembered it fresh. Although he still had a lot of information to use in his previous life, the treasure of Sun Jiayuan was the most convenient to collect, so he decided to make the first pot of gold first.

The middle-aged man introduced that the courtyard is now called the Liu Family Courtyard. The landlord also lives in the courtyard, the largest room on the east side. He was from a good family background before, but now he is in decline. The only thing left is this courtyard, which is to make a living by collecting rent.

Ning Zhiheng knew it in his mind. It seemed that the problem was not big. Such people had no money or power, and they could do it as long as they spent some money.

He waved his hand to let the middle-aged man go and walked into the courtyard. The yard was very large and the building was very simple, but now many people live in it look very messy.

Now it is when these civilians are going out to seek life. When they see a soldier wearing military uniform and pistols walking into the courtyard, they all hide.

Ning Zhiheng ignored them and walked straight to the landlord's door. After knocking on the door for a long time, a sleepy man in his thirties opened the door.

It seemed that he had not woken up yet, and he was a little annoyed when he was woken up, but suddenly he found that it was a gun-carrying officer looking at him impatiently, and he immediately woke up.

"Sir, are you asking me for something?" The landlord asked carefully.

Ning Zhiheng waited a little impatiently, and saw that the landlord was not as sloppy as he looked. He pulled his face and said coldly: "Are you the landlord of this yard? I want to rent a few houses."

Landlord Liu nodded quickly and asked Ning Zhi to go into the house. Seeing the officer with a cold face, he didn't look like a person who was easy to talk to, and he didn't dare to offend him. Are there any soldiers nowadays who are easy to talk to? Besides, now he can live by collecting rent and push customers out.

"There are actually a few houses in our yard that are empty. Some time ago, a few households couldn't pay the house and drove them out. The tidying was very clean. If you like it, you can move in immediately." Landlord Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's easy to say about the house money. If you like it, I can give you a discount!"

Ning Zhiheng smelled the landlord's breath, took a little step back, distanced himself from him, and said, "That's good. Let's take me to see the house now. If you look forward to it, I will move in today."

The landlord was also very happy when he heard this. The officer was anxious to move in, so this matter would probably be possible. He was worried that these rooms would not be able to make money in vain, so he rushed to the tenant.

The landlord took Ning Zhiheng to look at the empty rooms in the courtyard. In fact, Ning Zhiheng had already seen the specific location. The house where the gold ingots were dug out was close to the north, but the tenant had already lived.

Ning Zhiheng didn't want to waste more time. He pointed to the house and the two next to him and said directly: "I just like these three houses. The residents inside immediately made it clear for me. I will move in tonight."

"But there are tenants, you~" the landlord was stunned. The officer was very happy. He had to rent three rooms at once, but the house he liked had tenants, so how could he arrange it?

Ning Zhiheng saw the landlord's hesitation, but he didn't want to waste too much time on this matter. He didn't know when the operation team members would be replenished, but based on the situation of the Military Intelligence Department, no one dared to give a discount, and the time should not be long.

During this period, he had to go back to his hometown Hangzhou, and sent Xiaowan back by the way, and helped her find her family. This would take a few more days, so he planned to finish the work in Nanjing in just two days.

He didn't give the landlord any more time to think about it, and then said, "What's the point of thinking about this? Don't you have a few free rooms? Let them change the room. I'll add more room money and must be freed up today."

The quick knife cuts the mess, the more you make a mess, the more trouble it is. Moreover, the people who can live in this broken yard are ordinary people who are seeking life at the bottom. As long as you give more money, you can still refuse to agree.

"Why, what else are there to think? I don't have so much time to delay. Are you still afraid of money chewing hands?" Ning Zhiheng glared, patted the pistol on his waist, and shouted: "I am still afraid that I, a soldier, cannot afford the money for the house. Do you want to talk to you in another place!"

You can't be too polite to such a guy. Coercion and inducement can make him surrender the most. If the landlord is really ignorant, he will really take him away and imprison him for a few days to avoid getting in the way. Who will do anything to worry about this guy's life or death?

Sure enough, the landlord, who was already a little moved, saw that the officer was about to fire, so he waved his hand quickly: "Sir, please calm down, please calm down! I will notify them to change rooms and change rooms immediately, and there will be no delay!"

After saying that, he called out the tenants from the three families and told them about the matter, some tenants quit at that time. However, landlord Liu did not dare to disobey Ning Zhiheng, but he was very powerful to these tenants. He scolded him now and left without thinking. In addition, the officer behind him also looked harsh. After a while, no one talked about it.

Besides, there was no loss. They just took more effort to change the room. The tenants from the three families did not dare to cause too much trouble, so they gave in and went home to pack up their things and started changing rooms.

Seeing that things were going well, Ning Zhiheng turned to Landlord Liu and said, "The room is cleaned up. I will go back and arrange it and come back. I will explain it to other tenants clearly. I like quietness and tell them not to bother me if I have nothing to do!"

After saying that, he took out twenty yuan of legal tender and handed it to Landlord Liu, and then said: "Each of these three families gives two yuan. Even if it is compensation, the remaining one is the prepaid rent."

Landlord Liu narrowed his eyes into a line when he saw Le. This commander made a big deal. The market is no longer allowed to circulate silver dollars. The National Government just issued fiat currency, which was the highest value of fiat currency in history. Even on the black market, twenty yuan of fiat currency can be exchanged for twelve silver dollars.

One house rents for one month, which is two yuan, and three houses only six yuan in fiat currency per month. As for the money to compensate the tenants, haha, no one of these poor people dares to say more, it will naturally fall into their own pockets.

Landlord Liu agreed to the letter that he met the God of Wealth early in the morning, so he should have his own fortune!

At dusk, Ning Zhiheng returned to the Liu family courtyard. He parked his military car outside the courtyard gate. After all, Nanjing City is the capital of the country, and the public security is still good.

Besides, Ford's military sedan is exclusive to the army, and no one in the civilians can buy it. There is no thief who is blind and can steal such a thief, and it cannot sell stolen goods. In addition, there are probably few thieves in this era who can drive.

He packed the prepared items one by one in a bag and put them in the room. The tenants in the yard received the instructions from the landlord. They knew that the officer did not like to deal with others, so they all hid from afar.

It was getting late, and people had no entertainment these days, so they went to bed early at night. Ning Zhiheng waited until midnight, and probably everyone was asleep. Then he locked the other two houses and killed the door from the inside. The reason why he rented all the two houses next to him was because he was afraid that the excavation would alarm the neighbors.

The room is not big, it is composed of an outdoor room and a bedroom. It is probably the landlord who later separated it himself in order to rent a house.

After carefully inspecting the ground, he quickly determined the specific burial location, which should be in the northwest corner of the bedroom. He gently raised all the blue bricks on the ground and took out a steel shovel from the bag.

Then the dim lights began to dig down, fearing that he would make noise, so he should try his best to do it. He remembered that the large urn where the gold ingot was buried more than two meters deep, otherwise it would not have been buried for so many years, but no one would have discovered it.

Fortunately, he was strong and physically more powerful than ordinary people. After digging for more than an hour, he felt that he was almost at depth, and finally a crisp collision sound came from his feet.

Ning Zhiheng was very happy. It seemed that the position was not calculated incorrectly. He then dug down, and soon two pottery jars the size of a water tank appeared in front of him.

He pushed the floating soil apart, and there were multiple layers of porcelain plates at the mouth of the pottery jar. Ning Zhiheng was also a visionary player in his previous life, and he could tell that these porcelain plates were all ordinary porcelain plates fired by folk kilns. If they were placed in his previous life, they would certainly be expensive, but now they are not worth much money.

After all, after the liberation, especially in that turbulent decade, a large number of cultural relics were destroyed, and many cultural relics and antiques that could be called peerless national treasures were destroyed, and more than one remaining one remained.
