Chapter 96 Receiving Stolen Goods
Shan Yaowen grabbed the package, opened it, and took out the contents, placing them on the carriage.
What are you doing?
Zhang Du wanted to snatch it and cover it up, but Shan Yaowen blocked him.
"Why are you being so cautious? Are you afraid people won't know there's something good inside, or that the item's origin is questionable?"
"Hold it openly and honestly; trying to hide it only makes people suspicious."
Zhang Du thought that made sense, but he was still a little uneasy.
For him, these things were secretly hidden away.
Even the police were unaware of these things.
Zhang Du was also somewhat guilty.
After all, this was done by bypassing Director Su.
"Is it really okay for us not to bring Director Su along?" Don't be fooled by how excited Shi Zhang was when he brought the bag back.
But when it came time to sell, they hesitated again.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think they won't keep those things?" Shan Yaowen put the items in the car, but didn't spread them out; they were just left there like ordinary objects. "When the people from the alliance came down to pick us up that day, did you think I wouldn't know what they brought?"
Besides having personally witnessed the supplies handed over, Shan Yaowen also knew Lao Lang quite well.
Anyway, it's not like he's taking public property. He's used embezzled funds to improve his own people's lives; he's done that kind of thing countless times in his past life.
This can be considered a tacit understanding within the organization.
After all, the local area is poor now, especially the rural police station, which only has five people and doesn't even have a bicycle.
Shan Yaowen and his team did such a good job this time, shouldn't your police station show some appreciation and give them a reward?
How do you get those rewards?
That's how it came about.
If you let the police station take it themselves, they probably won't be able to come up with anything to reward them with. Verbal praise plus a few ceramic jars won't do.
So, the higher-ups basically turn a blind eye; as long as it's not excessive, everyone has a tacit understanding.
They know, but no one says it out loud.
Do you think Su Lang knew that Shan Yaowen and his group were secretly embezzling the money?
Whether they know or not, it doesn't matter.
Those bandits couldn't possibly carry ledgers with them, and as long as the items handed over were mostly correct, no one would bother to check each item in the ledger.
So that day, Shan Yaowen only left a small package for Shi Zhang to take away, and didn't touch any of the burlap sacks.
"Boss Deng!"
Carrying this pile of things, Shan Yaowen knocked on the gate of Deng Jianguo's courtyard.
"Oh, isn't this Special Envoy Shan? Please come in, please come in~"
When Deng Jianguo saw Shan Yaowen, he warmly welcomed him inside.
"I've been waiting for you! You didn't deliver all winter, and I was almost unable to keep this business running."
"Boss Deng said that even without me, your business would definitely be booming." Shan Yaowen cupped his hands in greeting.
He didn't take Deng Jianguo's polite words seriously; he couldn't continue operating without himself.
If that were the case, his business would have gone bankrupt long ago.
How could I possibly become the first person to earn ten thousand yuan?
"I heard you pulled off another big heist?" After exchanging pleasantries, Deng Jianguo looked at Shan Yaowen with curiosity.
Shan Yaowen waved his hand, "Don't make it sound like I went out to rob someone and caught some petty thieves."
"That's no ordinary petty thief. My brother-in-law said he's a murderer who spans two provinces. The county is even planning to publish a commendation for you."
Shan Yaowen looked at Deng Jianguo in surprise, "I had no idea, where did you get this information?"
"Cats have their ways, and dogs have theirs," Deng Jianguo chuckled.
Shan Yaowen had a clue in his mind; it was probably from his brother-in-law who worked in the county.
And he was right. Deng Jianguo did hear about it from his brother-in-law. If his brother-in-law hadn't sent the message, he wouldn't have known what Shan Yaowen had done.
His enthusiasm for Shan Yaowen stemmed not only from business considerations but also from the message his brother-in-law had sent him.
Putting everything else aside, Shan Yaowen should at least be promoted, even if not to a full-time position, but at least be able to have a nominal position in the county or banner government.
It won't hurt to be on good terms with him.
Many friends, many ways.
"Look at this, this is all we've harvested this winter." Shan Yaowen pointed to the packages on the carriage. "Boss Deng, don't try to lower my price."
"Having said all that, how could I dare to arbitrarily lower the price of the things you brought by the special envoy?"
Upon opening the package, it was found to contain precious furs and ginseng.
They each kept two ginseng roots; the rest are here.
Whether stewed with chicken or soaked in alcohol, ginseng is an absolute delicacy, and you might even be able to sell it for a high price later. If it weren't for the fact that everyone wanted to sell it and keep some money in their hands, they wouldn't have taken out the ginseng.
In the end, there were more than twenty deer skins, wolf skins, fox skins, etc., averaging more than twenty skins each, worth about four hundred yuan. Adding ten ginseng roots and some other items, the total sales amounted to nearly one thousand yuan.
It's true what they say: murder and arson bring wealth and power!
In their rural area, an average family could save up 100 yuan in a year of hard work, which was considered a sign of wealth. In the past, when the collective was used for meals, many people couldn't save any money, and some even owed the collective money after a year of work.
Even though Shan Yaowen worked hard all winter last year, hunting, digging for medicinal herbs, ice fishing, and even using his advanced memory, he only managed to earn a thousand yuan.
As a result, they stole a small portion of the belongings left behind by a group of bandits, and that's all they got.
No wonder those guys are so keen on doing this.
They've already taken several large sacks of furs and ginseng, and they still won't stop.
"By the way, Mr. Deng, do you have any of those glass wine jugs?"
After finishing his business deal, Shan Yaowen set his sights on ginseng wine.
This wasn't for him to drink; it was for Old Wolf.
After all, we intercepted so much, so we'll give some to Old Wolf as a token of our appreciation.
"Yes, this way. What size do you need?"
"Pack it with twenty pounds."
"Here, would you like some alcohol? I'll give you a discount if you order everything."
"Can."
After buying the wine and soaking the ginseng, he delivered it to Old Wolf.
Then the three of them happily went home with the money.
The three of them didn't separate until they reached a fork in the road.
"Brother-in-law, are you going straight back? Aren't you coming to see me?"
"Of course." Zhang Du had over three hundred yuan on him at the moment, and he was afraid of losing it, so he had to take it back to his wife to put away.
"Hey, come over to my house for dinner tomorrow, the ranch fence is almost finished."
Shan Yaowen knew that the two of them were carrying a large sum of money and wanted to go back to share the good news, so he didn't force them to go to his house. After all, he also wanted to go back as soon as possible.
After making the appointment, Shan Yaowen rushed home.
"Wife!"
When Lin Nian got home, she was helping with the cooking when she saw Shan Yaowen angrily tapping the pot with a spatula. "The food will be ready soon, wait a minute!"
"no."
Shan Yaowen grabbed Lin Nian's arm, "Come on, come inside and I'll show you something good."
"What are you doing? Cooking." Lin Nian glanced around sheepishly, relieved to see no one was paying attention, and then pinched Shan Yaowen.
They don't even try to avoid people in broad daylight.
"Mom, keep an eye on the pot, Niannian and I need to talk."
"understood."
The woman carrying a bowl of green vegetables came over. "What are you doing?"
Shan Yaowen didn't say anything, but pulled Lin Nian into the house.
Before Lin Nian could react, she saw Shan Yaowen pull out a piece of cloth from his pocket and slowly peel it off like a rare treasure.
"ah!"
When Lin Nian saw what was inside the cloth, she exclaimed in surprise.
For her, this was indeed a rare treasure, after all, she had never seen Shan Yaowen bring back so much money at once.
Especially that thick stack of 10-yuan banknotes, a rough scan would reveal at least a hundred yuan.
"Where did you get so much money?"
After the excitement came worry; she was terrified that her man had done something bad.
After all, he'd been leaving early and returning late these past few days, and he was always carrying a gun.
"When I came back last time, I mentioned that we captured a group of bandits and seized some goods. There will also be another round of rewards in a while."
Shan Yaowen and Lin Nian talked in the room for a while, and only after she had processed the information and decided not to reveal it to anyone else did the two of them go out to do their work.
After all, making money is one thing, but things still need to be done step by step.
The spring pasture has been completed, and all that's left is the new house.
