Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(It's up to you whether you live or die. I don't care.)

(This book is purely fictional, any coincidences are purely similar)

The book continues above.

The thief Liang Dacheng said: "We interrogated the monks. They were all sent out by the abbot to beg for alms."

"According to the monks, the one who was away the least time only came back after seven days."

"Under our torture, the monk could no longer bear the torture and agreed to cooperate with us in finding the golden Buddha."

"The abbot was a tough guy. He ended up killing himself in his cell."

In the dark and stuffy cellar, only the injured thief Liang Dacheng was narrating the past events.

"Later, with the help of the monks, we finally found the abbot's apprentice."

"But that little bald donkey is also a tough nut to crack."

"After realizing there was no way out, he actually committed suicide."

"At this point, the cassock completely disappeared."

"Later, the situation changed. The skinheads withdrew from Beijing."

"Those people back then either left or died."

There are only a few of us left in this group.”

"For safety, our group of people went into hiding, changed their names, and settled down."

"Until a few days ago, one of our brothers accidentally learned that the cassock appeared in an underground high-end auction."

"We just followed the clues and found you here."

After hearing the whole story, Ju Ye did not ask any further questions.

Said directly to Liang Dacheng.

"Write down your home address. I will have someone send a settlement allowance to your brothers and their families."

"That money is enough for your small family to live well."

Liang Dacheng knew that he had no chance of survival.

Hearing about your death, you can exchange it for money for your family.

He knew what Ju Ye meant.

He betrayed those brothers who were lurking without hesitation.

The head of the secret guards brought a pen and paper.

Record various information.

Including the hidden spies, their hiding places, and where their families live.

The secret of the treasure map was finally revealed.

After explaining everything, the thief Liang Dacheng leaned against the cellar wall and looked at the head of the secret guards.

Then he said with a look of relief.

"Can you give me a cigarette in my last moments?"

The head of the secret guard said nothing and took out a cigarette from his pocket.

He lit a cigarette and put it to Liang Dacheng's mouth.

After Ju Ye got what he wanted.

Holding the paper with the information, he left the cellar silently.

After walking out of the cellar, he casually summoned a secret guard.

Said softly.

"Don't waste the bodies of those two men. Chop them up and feed them to our ancestors' chickens." After saying that, he left.

The night covered the darkness.

The moon was shining brightly and the whole city was silent.

The same moonlight shines on the earth, but casts different shadows.

Some people are snoring in their beds, while others are bargaining with others in the ghost market to save a few cents.

Some people are reading late at night, while others are resting. The same moonlight illuminates different life trajectories, just like a comedy being performed in Beijing.

The next day, the moon set and the sun rose.

Early in the morning, people start to get busy preparing for the day.

Early in the morning, Aunt Qian came for everyone in the Li family.

I made a big pot of tomato and egg noodles.

After serving the Li family’s young and old, they started to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone in the Li family, young and old, started to get busy with their own things.

For a moment, the only people left in the restaurant were the old man, Ju Ye, and Li Zihang who was left behind.

The secret guard appeared at the right time.

Secret Guard: "Master, we have figured out everything that happened last night."

"Now, the robes are in our house."

After the secret guard finished speaking, there was no further news.

Li Zihang was a little confused.

What happened last night.

The old man moved to the north room, the study.

Several people also followed him to the study.

Li Zihang sat on the Arhat bed and heard the secret guard report everything that happened last night to the old man.

Only then did I know what had happened.

He didn't expect that there were so many stories hidden in a Dharani quilt.

He suddenly thought of the treasure he was looking for.

Then he asked the leader of the secret guards.

"Uncle Wang, let me put it this way. The treasure that group of people are looking for is not the same as the one we are looking for."

The head of the secret guards smiled innocently and nodded.

Li Zihang: "Any news about the treasure we are looking for?"

The secret guard stood aside and answered the questions about the news he had learned during this period.

"Master, there is news about the treasure we are looking for."

Then the secret guard told all the news to the old man and the other two.

After the narration, the secret guard said hesitantly.

"But now we have a problem. I don't know where the sofa is now."

"Whether the sofa is still there or not is hard to tell in this world."

For a moment, the study fell into silence again.

Li Zihang heard the secret guard say the name of the foreigner.

He suddenly felt that the name was familiar.

He kept repeating the foreigner's name.

Suddenly he thought of the sofa set he bought from the consignment store.

He slapped his thigh and said.

"The sofa is also at our house, no need to look for it."

Then he turned to the old man and said.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, please follow me."

After saying that, he took the lead and went to his room and living room.

Li Zihang, the central hall of the east wing.

He pointed to the sofa and the row of foreign-style patterns on the back.

"I guess that foreigner bought the royalist haunted house and fell in love with this set of sofas."

"Then I carved my name into the sofa."

At this time, the old man signaled the secret guard to disassemble the sofa and take off the sofa leather.

After receiving the signal, the secret guard turned around and walked out.

After a while, someone was called over.

The two men took the daggers and carefully cut along the edge of the sofa.

In a short while, the entire sofa leather was removed.

Several people looked at the leather back of the sofa and found that there was no pattern of any kind, such as a map.

Then the secret guard dismantled the remaining sofa.

The leather of two single sofas was removed.

One of them actually had a map on it.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Li Zihang.

The whereabouts of both treasure maps have been found.

The rest is up to the Li family's secret guards to take charge.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Li Zihang was supposed to be visited, and those who said goodbye had all gone.

He thought back to his grandfather, who was already very old.

I guess it won’t last long.

His junior sister is also becoming more and more graceful.

Thinking back to the time before they parted, he secretly kissed the corner of his junior sister's lips.

This made Junior Sister Qiu Tong's face turn red. She chased him around the yard and beat him.

He gave her a kiss and a few words, but he didn't know that Qiu Tong had been waiting for him for eight years.

She was a young girl, silently waiting for him under the pressure of family and social opinions.

During this time, he arranged everything.

The antiques in the house were also slowly moved out using the ant moving method.

A secret passage was also dug in the backyard, leading directly to a small courtyard across the road from the backyard.

The group of people next door are still calculating as usual.

Half of his twenty-eight secret guards were sent abroad.

The rest were all following his instructions, playing the game of nurturing and being the king of children.

Grandma, the focus of attention recently has returned to him.

I look at him from time to time and sigh unconsciously.

The look of heartache in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

As soon as he came back from outside, the old man called him to the study.

Then he showed him a list.

The list was filled with the quantities of various antiques, dollars, silver, and gold.

Li Zihang sat on the bed opposite the old man.

He put down the list and spoke slowly.

"The two treasures, totaling fifteen tons, gold, sixty thousand ounces of silver.

289 antique bronze wares and various other jewels, converted into RMB, are worth more than one million yuan.”

"Grandpa, donating all these should make those people let down their guard against us."

The old man remained silent, thinking about something.

It took a long time before he spoke.

"We are calculating, and the people above us are even more calculating."

"Everything is afraid of comparison. The people above us can compare us with the Qiao family of Shanxi merchants in the late Qing Dynasty, the Hu family of Huizhou merchants, and the four major families of the Republic of China. Some things cannot be hidden."

"These are not enough. Since we are going to donate, let's make sure the boss above is completely confident in us."

"So as to avoid being remembered by them."

"Grandson, you have been almost ready during this period. You have said hello to everyone you need to say goodbye to."

"When the ancestor comes back, you can follow him~"

Li Zihang thought for a moment and said.

"We are safe if we do this. Will those capitalists unite against us because of this?"

The old man said: "They are like a clay Buddha crossing a river, unable to protect themselves. How can they have the time to deal with us?"

"At this moment, who cares about who? It all depends on who has better means~"

"So what if I offended you? If I can't survive this disaster, it's hard to say whether those people will be around or not~"

Parallel time and space.

1956, summer.

During students' summer vacation.

The national daily newspaper was the front page news of the day.

The representative of Beijing merchants in the 1949 city, the Li family.

Donated 20 tons of gold to the country.

Four million taels of silver and 1123 pieces of bronze artifacts.

Calligraphy and paintings, 632 pieces.

And donate the dividend rights of all industries.

Other various antique collectibles.

152 rare and precious treasures.

Among them, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and bronze ware were donated to the Palace Museum.

All the income from industrial dividends will be used to support poor students in going to school.

Part of the money will be used to build 5 primary schools across the country within five years for national education.

In an office somewhere in Zhonghai, a conversation was also discussing this matter.

"Do you think the Li family still has the financial resources this time?"

When asked, the secretary thought for a moment and said.

"I guess not. We have roughly calculated it and compared it with the merchants from Beijing, Anhui, and Shanxi."

"The Li family is the most wealthy, so we'll leave some money for the younger generation to live on."

"After this time, there are basically no other ones."

For a moment, the office fell silent again.

"The money is gone, but the connections are still there. The dense network of relationships makes my scalp tingle. This won't do~"

Then he asked the secretary.

"Are there any other movements?"

Secretary: "The Chen family, Rong family, Du family, Zhang family, Hu family, and Huang family in secret have not yet expressed their views."

"The group of people in the open have already caused a lot of trouble."

There was another moment of silence.

"Go and convene a national conference of capitalists for me."

"It's called the capitalist road to socialism."

"By the way, does the Li family have any other reactions?"

The secretary thought for a moment and said.

"Mr. Li has resigned from all his titles, saying that he is old and just wants to enjoy his retirement in peace."

After a while, the only sound in the room was breathing.

"Since he wants to retire, let him do so with peace of mind."

"Stop running around everywhere."

"Put the Li family's affairs aside for now, and go hold this meeting first."

The Li family's donation this time has touched the nerves of too many people.

If the Li family of Shanghai donated their entire fortune, it would be like throwing a small stone onto the lake.

Then the Li family of Sijiu City donated their wealth.

It was like dropping a cannonball onto the lake.

Too many fish and shrimp were killed in the explosion across the country.
