The box is not small, half of it is filled with round pearls and the other half is filled with gold bars.

"Everyone who sees it gets a share."

Tang Zheng didn't care that several people were so shocked that their jaws dropped, and grabbed a handful of pearls and handed them to Lao Jin first.

Lao Jin was a little dazed, probably hesitating whether to take it or not. Seeing this, Tang Zheng stuffed it directly into his pocket, then grabbed a handful and gave it to Mu Ran. Mu Ran did not hesitate, he took it and looked at it carefully.

Is this a pearl? Is it made of plastic?

She also didn't think there were any cultural relics here. Tang Zheng's way of treasure hunting gave her the feeling of a child playing house. It wasn't childish, but it was too natural.

Tang Zheng did not give any more to Tang Wenli, and gave two gold bars to Lao Jin and Muren respectively, and packed the rest himself.

"It's not a good idea to divide it here, right?" Mu Ran held the two gold bars in his hand, looked at the two tomb robbers who had fainted beside him, and felt that this was a bit unfair.

Old Jin was staring at the pearls and gold bars in his hands with a slow reaction. He dared not even think about such a dream of getting rich.

"Of course we have to divide it here. This box is still useful."

Originally Tang Zheng didn't want to do this, until she saw the faces of the two tomb robbers and suddenly changed her mind.

These two tomb robbers may be ordinary now, but more than ten years later, they have become feared figures in the world.

In addition to selling the country's most important cultural relics to his poor family, he also committed many fraudulent acts and even killed people.

At this time we have to teach them a lesson to prevent them from taking detours and harming society in the future.

Tang Zheng packed the remaining things with Tang Wenli, and then threw the empty box into the cave entrance.

"Now, you can report to the police and say that someone has robbed the tomb and dug something out."

Mu Ran curled the corner of his mouth, looked at Lao Jin, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the two tomb robbers.

The villagers were preparing dinner for Tang Zheng and his friends in the evening when two large trucks suddenly arrived in the village, one from the military and the other from the county public security bureau.

Dahuangya was running towards us at the fastest speed in a pair of tattered straw sandals, with sparks coming out from under his feet.

"Second uncle, second uncle, something happened, the village has come to show its respect!"

The old man paused while rolling his cigarette and asked, "What are the police doing here?"

"I don't know. Not only are there tall hats, but there are also soldiers. Go and have a look!"

The old man's face turned pale, and he almost fell off the wall: "Go and ask if anyone has done anything immoral. Ask him to turn himself in as soon as possible, and then he can get a reduced sentence!"

Da Huangya stamped his feet and said, "This is outrageous. How serious a matter can it be to have so many people come to arrest someone?"

The old man thought it was a problem, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a look..."

As soon as he walked out of the door, Tang Wenli came over and told him about the treasures on the Coffin Mountain.

After hearing this, the old man's expression calmed down a little. There had been rumors a generation ago that there were treasures on the other side of the Coffin Mountain.

Everybody just listened to it. Occasionally, some young guys would go there and talk about it. Tomb robbers also went there, but they didn't dig anything out. Over time, nobody took that place seriously anymore.

They didn’t expect that they had actually dug up a treasure. Wouldn’t their village become lively now?

When the old man led the villagers over there, the soldiers and police had already cordoned off the area, and everyone could only stand outside and desperately look inside.

Tang Zheng inside saw that the old man was so anxious that his eyes were about to pop out, so he walked over.

"Girl, is there really a treasure in here?" This was the first thing the old man asked when he saw Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng nodded: "There should be, we were just strolling around and accidentally saw a wooden box in the cave, it looks old, and there are two tomb robbers!"

"We didn't steal anything, we just dug some soil and took it home to build a house!"

The two tomb robbers have been caught and are being questioned. One of them is crying and is almost about to swear.

"Dig the dirt? There's so much dirt at the bottom of the mountain, why don't you dig it up there? Why do you run to the top of the mountain? You're trying to trick a fool. Tell me the truth. I'll give you leniency if you confess, but I'll punish you if you resist. Do you understand?"

The police officer continued to ask while taking notes: "What about that wooden box? It doesn't look like a modern product!"

Another tomb robber said, "We don't know how it happened. The thing just appeared in the cave, and there was nothing in the box!"

"How could there be nothing? Did you hide the things inside?"

Mu Ran listened to the noise here and was a little worried: "Do you think they will go to jail?"

Lao Jin said: "We can't find anything, and there is no evidence. It's just suspicion. At most, we will detain him for two days and educate him."

Mu Ran heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He really thought that Tang Zheng was framing him.

"That guy, I know those two guys!" The old man spoke angrily when he saw the two tomb robbers.

Tang Zheng asked curiously: "How did you know each other?"

The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Then Da Huangya, who was standing beside him, said, "Didn't the grandson of the second uncle's brother go to the city to work? Why did he come back to rob tombs?"

Tang Zheng quickly advised: "Uncle, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health. I think they will only detain you for a few days at most and then release you. It's okay."

The old man sighed. If these were his grandsons, he would break their legs.

Tang Zheng looked around, then lowered his voice and said to the old man, "The military and police comrades will definitely stay in the village for a long time. Why don't you go and get them some water and fruit?"

The old man immediately understood what Tang Zheng meant, and hurriedly called on the onlookers to go home to make arrangements.

When it comes to water, just drink as much as you can.

As for fruits, there aren’t many, just sugar cane, sour pears and dates everywhere.

Seeing how enthusiastic the villagers were, the comrades from the military and police gave money directly to the village chief and asked the villagers to help prepare dinner.

At this time of year, every household may not have much food, but there are a lot of vegetables in the garden, such as the leeks from the old man's house, the potatoes from Dahuangya's house, the eggplants from Aunt Wang's house, the peppers from Aunt Zhang's house, etc. Can't they all be exchanged for money?

After Tang Zheng and a few others finished taking their statements, they wanted to leave but were stopped by the police.

The public security comrade asked a few people uncertainly: "Are you sure there are cultural relics here?"

There was nothing else except the box. What if this was just a misunderstanding? Wouldn't it be too much trouble for so many people to come and guard it day after day?

Tang Zheng said, "My last name is Tang, Tang Canyang. I took over the tourism project in Daling River, Huayang City. Did you know that cultural relics were unearthed there a few days ago?"

The public security comrade nodded: "Of course I know, I heard that a museum is going to be built there!"

Tang Zheng continued, "Although I'm not a professional archaeologist, judging from the terrain and environment, I feel like there are cultural relics here. Besides, you must have wandered around here. There are many caves of all sizes dug by tomb robbers. This shouldn't be groundless."

The public security comrade nodded: "We have reported it, and an archaeological team will probably come tomorrow."

If they can really dig out treasures, they will definitely be credited with the credit.

Tang Zheng looked at the villagers who were pouring water and fruits for everyone not far away, hesitated for a moment and said to the public security comrade: "If the archaeological team comes, it is estimated that they will have to stay here for a long time. I wonder if you can tell the archaeological team that it is not easy for the villagers around here, so you can arrange the cooking and water delivery work for them?"
