Chapter 723 Pirate Treasure
A few dogs seemed to be cheating and refused to come down. They huddled up and turned a deaf ear.
Ye Yaodong almost laughed out of breath, "Have I raised a few naughty dogs? Come down quickly!"
"Did you see a pot of hot water being heated over there? If you stay there for a while, someone will come and catch you, twist off the dog's head, and put it in the pot just enough to scald and pluck out the hair."
"Woo woo... woof woof..."
Two came down, but there were still a few dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water.
The leaders also looked a little funny. Director Chen laughed and said: "Forget it, let them wait. Anyway, they are not leaving soon."
People on the side also echoed, "It's quite similar to a police dog. In the past, the police dogs in the army also liked to stay in fights and didn't like to come out. They would also urge people to drive faster."
"These are just local dogs from the countryside. They can't stand on the stage. How can they compare with police dogs?" the village chief said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate the native dogs in the countryside. These native dogs are very smart and can be trained to be good dogs." Director Chen said with disapproval.
Ye Yaodong also felt the same way. He underestimated the local dogs. What happened to the local dogs? But the police dogs were definitely smarter. It would be great if they could catch one and breed it.
Secretary Chen smiled and echoed: "What kind of person is this, what kind of dog he raises, A Dong is smart, and the dog he raises is also smart."
"That makes sense..."
Let’s go and sit at his house for a while. His house is very close and we don’t need to walk far. We’ll come back later when we have dinner.”
"Let's go, let's go..."
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they headed back to Ye Yaodong's house. The two dogs that had jumped out in a show of lust saw them leaving and climbed into the sidecar of the tricycle. They just nested there quietly, watching.
People who go back and forth feel that they are majestic.
A wild dog saw it and wanted to get closer, but was scared away by their collective barking.
Some children saw that even dogs could stay inside, and they boldly approached, but the dogs dutifully barked collectively and no one was allowed to come near!
This was an unexpected blessing. I had a few more people to help look after the car.
Lin Xiuqing had nothing to do and was cutting the old lady's hair in the yard.
The old lady kept looking in the mirror when she got up early in the morning. After a while, she ran into the house and took a look, which made her a little puzzled.
When I asked, the old lady said sheepishly that her hair felt a bit too long and it would not look good for lunch...
This is what Ye Yaodong saw when he came back.
"Have a haircut? We have dinner later, why don't we have a haircut?"
"Hey, a guest is coming? It's almost ready. I've already washed my hair. It'll be fine when the wind blows and dries."
"Okay, what kind of haircut?"
Lin Xiuqing couldn't help laughing and said: "The old lady kept looking in the mirror when she got up early in the morning. When I asked her, she said she thought her hair was too long and it would not look good when she went to dinner later, so I temporarily cut it for her."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard this. He is so old, how can he still be good-looking?
"Why don't you take the guests into the house to sit down first? There is still hot water in the pot for making tea? I'll be fine soon. I just need to smooth it out a little bit."
"Okay."
Lin Xiuqing gave the old lady a smooth, ear-length haircut. An old man doesn't need to be fancy when cutting his hair, and silver-white hair that is ear-length also looks cleaner.
After the haircut, she took away the towel draped over the old lady's shoulders and used another one to wipe her hair. Then she took it into the house and threw it into the basin, planning to wash it later when she was free. Now at home
There are still guests here.
But when she first entered the house, she heard them talking about pirate treasures!
Pirate treasure???
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened and her ears stood up!
Where did the island treasure come from?
Ye Yaodong also pricked up his ears!
When he first entered the room to make tea for these leaders, he listened to their conversation. Unexpectedly, one of them was the deputy director of the border defense station. As soon as they sat down, they started chatting about recent events.
There happened to be a big melon, and it was very exciting and exciting, so I talked about it. Anyway, I had found it, so it didn't matter if I talked about it.
"At that time, those people refused to say anything and kept their mouths shut, but our interrogation was still quite good. In addition, the next day, we arrested thirty or forty strongmen from their village who were involved in smuggling, and we talked about everything.
All must be sentenced.”
"Nowadays, small crimes are punished with heavy penalties, and participating in smuggling is a serious crime, which can lead to the death penalty. If we provoke it casually, some people will think of commuting their sentences for meritorious service. Yesterday morning, we pried it out from one person's mouth that there was pirate treasure on the island.
"
"Haha, I really didn't expect that there was a pirate treasure hidden on that desert island. Although the amount is not much, it is just a small cave and a small treasure hiding place, but it is still surprising enough..."
"You guys got it without any effort? Why would you want to go to that island to catch people?" Others asked.
"This is interesting. We received an anonymous letter five days ago, reporting that the island was a smuggler's den. Aren't we now cracking down on smuggling crimes?"
"We just thought there would be no smoke without fire, so we sent two people to take a sneak peek. Anyway, it won't delay anything."
"Who knew that the people we sent would not be able to come back? We knew something had happened that night, so we immediately sent people there. We originally wanted to rescue them, but after we cautiously approached, we found that no one was guarding the island. It went smoothly and directly.
Then he brought the person back."
"At that time, I thought that someone had discovered the leak and moved their position directly. The next day, I gave up hope and just wanted to try my luck. However, I unexpectedly found three boats parked on the island. Except for two people on the boat, they were watching.
Everyone else is on the mountain."
"Fortunately, there were many of us, so we captured them all and interrogated them all. Unexpectedly, we found out that they were involved in smuggling. It turned out that there were treasures hidden by pirates from the past on the mountain."
"And it just so happened that they searched for more than half a month but couldn't find it. When we went to the island, they only found the cave that was blocked by rocks and overgrown with weeds. Before they could even go back and knock it with a hammer, it was ventilated.
After reporting the news, they ran around all over the island, but we later caught them all."
Director Chen of the Maritime Safety Administration was also surprised. Did he not expect such an unexpected surprise to come to his door?
"Then you picked this up for free, didn't you?"
"Yes, I heard that there were only two people who kept searching on the island before. The fishing boat was stolen later, so I had no choice but to ask my cousin to help. So in the past two days, there have been more people and the efficiency has become higher." said the border guard station.
The deputy director said again with excitement on his face.
"The person who wrote the anonymous letter must have stolen the fishing boat, right? He saw their fishing boat docked at the island, so he was interested in making money. Then he stole the boat and was afraid of retaliation, so he deliberately and randomly reported that the island was a smuggling den? Just to borrow a knife to kill someone?"
"It's possible, but there's no way to find the person who wrote the anonymous letter. The "gou crawling" characters are so ugly, and some of the characters are so missing that arms and legs are missing. You can tell at a glance that he is an old fisherman who is illiterate and illiterate. The whole county is like this.
There are many people..."
Ye Yaodong: "..."
Why is he uneducated? Why is he old?
If the wording doesn’t look good, then it doesn’t look good, but fishermen are just fishermen, so why add the word “old”?
Lin Xiuqing stood by the stove, with her back to the person, her ears pricked up as she filled the hot water kettle with a ladle, pretending to be working. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard someone said the words were ugly.
"Hey, how did those people know that there was pirate treasure on the island?"
Ye Yaodong pretended to ask the question he had always wanted to ask.
He originally thought there was a gold mine, but he didn't expect it to be a pirate treasure!
Thinking about it this way, the possibility is relatively high. After all, there are several villages on Luzhou Island. They were originally descendants of pirates. After decades of intermarriage, it can be said that they have spread all over the island.
During those years when pirates were rampant, they must have accumulated a lot of treasures, and they may have hidden them everywhere.
So, his two nuggets of gold were actually pirate treasures? They were not formed because there were gold mines underneath?
Others also echoed, "Yes, how did those people know that there was pirate treasure on that island? It must have been a long time ago, right?"
"If I had known about it earlier, I would have gone out to search for it. Did you find the clue recently?"
"It was said that during the Qingming Tomb Sweeping Day, because it had rained in those days and the soil was soft, they accidentally stepped on the soil slope in front of the ancestral cemetery. As a result, they found a wooden box. Someone picked it up and hid it secretly. They opened it when they returned.
I found a yellowed letter inside, with the location of the treasure scrawled on it."
"Then those people thought of the nursery rhymes they had sung since they were children, and they believed that there was a treasure on that island, so they went to search for it."
"What nursery rhyme?"
The deputy director of the border defense thought for a while and said a few words, "There is no way to the north and south, there are islands hidden in the east and west, and so on, and there are tens of thousands of gold and silver... I forgot about the rest."
"It's a long nursery rhyme. I heard that people on the island can recite it and pass it down from generation to generation. But it shouldn't refer to that island. We dug out the cave yesterday afternoon and only found a few things, not much."
"This is quite strange. I found a small treasure spot by accident, but haven't I reported it yet?" Director Chen asked.
"Not yet. Yesterday afternoon, after searching, we carried it back to the shelter and sealed it up. Today we continue to search the mountain to see if there are any more. We need to understand this before we can report it."
"The person who reported it anonymously did a good thing."
"He didn't lose anything. He got a boat for free. Now all the people in Luzhou Island who participated in the smuggling have been arrested. Even those who participated in smuggling on the island have been arrested. There will be another trial in the next few days. It is estimated that
We can catch another batch in the next few days, but there will be no good harvest for those who are caught. The guy who reported anonymously can also fish in a stolen boat openly."
"You are quite courageous. There are hundreds of villages in this county, big and small, and there is no way to find out where there is an extra boat."
"Just treat it as a reward for reporting..."
Ye Yaodong listened on the side, although he also felt it was a pity. He walked around the island for a few days and found nothing, but he couldn't hold everything in his arms.
People have been looking for evidence for more than half a month. He only relied on two pieces of ore and guessed that it was a gold mine. It was strange that he could find it.
I don’t know how many years it has been, the entrance to the cave is still blocked, and the weeds must have grown taller than I know.
He thought that the two nuggets of gold were probably found when someone locked the box. They seemed inconspicuous and not gold, so he threw them away casually and rolled down beside a tree. After a long time,
It was buried under the soil and discovered by him accidentally.
