Judging from what the train attendant said, could it be that there will be rewards for meritorious deeds in the future?
However, Jiang Si didn't really care about this. She was quite satisfied that she had been arranged in a soft-sleeper compartment.
She had a good night's sleep. At around six o'clock the next evening, the train arrived at its final destination of this journey - Yancheng!
Jiang Si first reported her safety to her third uncle and then found a guesthouse nearby to rest for a night.
Early the next morning, Jiang Si took a bus to a place called Liujiawan in the suburban county.
In the original book, Liu Dajiang and Liu Dahe, who helped her scumbag father handle the family property matters, were natives of Liujiawan.
These years, they had been following Shen Xiuwen, and their lives had been quite comfortable.
So, several years ago, they built two side-by-side brick houses in the village.
Just the yard alone was several hundred square meters!
One could only say that God was still kind to her.
When Jiang Si arrived, the Liu brothers were not at home.
After observing the surroundings and making sure there were no villagers nearby, Jiang Si took out a ladder from her space.
Soon, she found those antique furniture, cultural relics and ornaments that her scumbag father had transported in the house on the left...
There were a total of more than 200 boxes of various sizes!
Looking at the regained ancestral property of the Jiang family, Jiang Si let out a long sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to put these things into her space, suddenly there came a dense sound of footsteps outside the door. Judging from the noise, quite a few people were coming.
Soon, Liu Dajiang, the eldest of the Liu family, entered the house, carried a box of things and went to the outer hall.
"Boss Cheng, it's no use for me to say how good these things are. You know more about them than we do. You take a look first, and then we'll talk about the price."
A moment later, another male voice sounded.
"Not bad. They are good things."
"That's for sure. These are all the ancestral property of the Jiang family in Hu City."
Liu Dajiang said, "Boss Cheng, we're not asking for much. Just 100,000 Hong Kong dollars! If it's okay with you, you can take these things away right now."
100,000 Hong Kong dollars sounded like a lot, but besides the large antique furniture, there were more than 200 boxes of things here.
On average, each large box was only 500 yuan.
Boss Cheng would make a huge profit from this deal!
But the man just smiled and said, "Brother, if it were two years ago, you could have asked for twice as much as 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I wouldn't have even bargained with you."
"But in today's world, you know the situation."
"These things are not as good as gold bars. It's not easy to transport them away, and it's even harder to say when they can be turned into cash."
"I'm not going to beat around the bush. Well, let's each make a concession. How about 50,000 Hong Kong dollars?"
"If it's okay, I'll give you the money right now."
"Boss Cheng, are you joking?"
Liu Dahe, the second of the Liu family, was a straightforward person and said bluntly.
"You clearly said that as long as the things were good, the price wasn't a problem, so we agreed to let you come and inspect the goods.
"As a result, you're acting like this now!
"Isn't this making a fool of us brothers?
"Moreover, who ever cuts the price by half all at once?"
Liu Dajiang also thought the same way, but the two brothers were used to one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
Seeing Boss Cheng's face turn a bit gloomy, he quickly smoothed things over.
"Boss Cheng, my younger brother is just a straightforward person who says what's on his mind. Please don't take it to heart."
"As for the price you mentioned just now, it's really too low..."
At this moment, the man interrupted him. "Don't worry about the price. I'm just really curious about one thing right now."
The two brothers were completely confused by his inexplicable words.
"Boss Cheng, what are you curious about?"
The man didn't rush to speak. Instead, he sized up Second Brother Liu with a look as if he were eyeing his prey.
"You tell me... what exactly does a straight intestine look like?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of the Liu brothers trembled violently.
Only then did Second Brother Liu notice that several burly men had somehow appeared behind him.
Before he could say a word, a sudden sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and the man behind him covered his mouth.
The next second, a bayonet quickly slid in a semicircle along his belly.
Immediately, the contents of his stomach spilled out. Realizing what had happened, Second Brother Liu's eyes were filled with horror.
Before losing consciousness, he only heard this sentence.
"Brother, you're really not honest. You said it was a straight intestine, but this doesn't look straight at all?"
"Or, let's see if yours is straight?"
"You're crazy!"
"Cheng Jinting, you crazy bastard... You'll pay with your life!"
As soon as Big Brother Liu shouted this, the subordinates brought by the man snapped his neck with a crack.
At this time, Jiang Si, who had witnessed the entire murder process, was speechless.
She couldn't even remember where their conversation had started to go wrong.
How could they go from a normal conversation to killing someone just like that!
Moreover, the name Cheng Jinting also gave her a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had heard it somewhere before...
At this time, the man's cold voice rang out again.
"Clean up. A car will come to pick you up in half an hour."
"Everyone, eat and drink well today. As soon as the early hours of the day after tomorrow pass, we'll set off on time."
"After we get back to Taicheng, each of you will get an extra ten taels of gold bars as a reward."
Hearing about the reward, the few men who had just carried out the attack immediately showed a hint of a smile on their faces.
The men clasped their hands in front of them and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master."
Perhaps the words "Young Master" gave Jiang Si a bit of a shock. Suddenly, some images popped into her mind.
This man seemed to be the son of the Second Hall Master who had fallen out with her great-uncle.
That's right, it was him!
Back then, when her great-uncle founded the Canal Gang, there were actually several sub - hall masters under him, each in charge of different areas.
Later, due to differences in ideas, the Second Hall Master, Cheng Limin, chose to leave the gang.
In 1954, Cheng Limin took a group of his subordinates to Taicheng and founded his own gang there.
Normally, a gang wouldn't be a big deal.
But the problem was that the Cheng family enjoyed the huge amount of assets they had plundered from the mainland, yet they were doing the despicable act of betraying the country to seek glory, just like a big green toad!
Originally thinking that it was better to avoid trouble, Jiang Si immediately changed her mind.
While the men were outside dealing with the corpses, Jiang Si picked a large box, put the things inside into her space, and then lay down in the box herself.
Fortunately, her useless father was afraid that the jade and porcelain would be damaged, so when packing, he had stuffed thick cotton into each box. Lying inside wasn't uncomfortable at all.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Si felt the box being lifted up and carried onto a car.
After more than an hour of bumpy journey, all the boxes, along with Jiang Si, were transported onto a small cargo ship docked at a nearby pier.
When it was completely quiet all around and there was no sound to be heard, Jiang Si cautiously poked her head out of the box.
!!!
Despite having mentally prepared herself, when Jiang Si saw the cargo hold packed to the brim, she was so shocked that she couldn't utter a single word.
Even when wealthy families fled during these times, they were extremely meticulous in packing up their family assets.
Apart from the material of the boxes, each family would mark a specific pattern or symbol on them.
Just like the boxes of her own family, each one had a traditional Chinese character "Jiang" on it.
Here, Jiang Si took a rough look and had already found more than ten different markings...
This indicated... that they had killed at least a dozen families or even more in the same way!
Thinking of this, Jiang Si wished she could pack all these people up and throw them into the high - seas to feed the fish, but in the end, she held back.
What good would it do to kill these small fries? As long as they wanted to, they would still send people over continuously.
This simply couldn't solve the fundamental problem.
Instead, it would be better to leave a clue for the police officers. Maybe they could follow the leads and round up all these people.
Of course, there was another reason.
For someone like Jiang Si, who "was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze", she really couldn't end a person's life without any psychological burden.
After figuring it out, Jiang Si didn't dwell on it too much.
For now, she hadn't decided what to do with these things, but it didn't stop her from putting these things into her space first.
She put the things belonging to the Jiang family together separately.
As for the rest, she found an empty space in the space and stored them there.
After she had cleared out all the things inside and there were only empty boxes left in the cargo hold, Jiang Si quietly made her way to the deck.
Originally, she wanted to leave directly, but when she saw that the few thugs in the cabin were dead drunk and there was a radio in the cab, Jiang Si changed her mind again.
In this era, to avoid signal leakage, the radio would be kept in a power - off state during non - communication periods.
The first thing Jiang Si did was to turn on the power of the radio.
Thanks to the fact that radio knowledge was popularized in schools at this time and there were courses for practicing radio telegraphy in daily life.
[Highlight: Real historical materials, there will be pictures later.]
The second thing Jiang Si did was to tune the telegraph to a specific frequency and then send out a vague message.
She sent the message for more than ten minutes in a row.
Only then did Jiang Si satisfactorily curl the corners of her lips, and then she walked off the cargo ship without looking back.
