After confirming the properties of this thing, Lin Yi picked up the silver ingot from the ground.
A pound in the Ming Dynasty was sixteen taels, which is equivalent to about 600 grams today.
This silver ingot is ten taels and weighs about 380 grams.
Even though it is silver, such a big piece is quite heavy, and the heavy feeling makes people feel very solid.
"Is it really silver?"
Chen Erwa picked up a piece and chewed it with her teeth. Sure enough, two rows of clear teeth marks were left on it.
Erwazi, who thought he had seen the world, was completely dumbfounded.
Regardless of the historical value of this silver ingot, even if it is melted and sold as silver material, although the fineness of the silver is not very good, the pure silver content is not low.
According to the current cheapest silver price, which is five yuan per gram, this silver ingot is worth a little over two thousand yuan.
There are twenty ingots of silver sealed in a green stick, which should be the limit of an oak stake. If you put more, it may not be able to float.
Based on this calculation, a green stick is worth at least 40,000 yuan.
"No wonder you dared to offer me a price of 100,000 yuan when you saw me. Your business is too profitable!"
Chen Erwa held more than ten silver ingots in her hands and looked at Lin Yi with a satisfied expression.
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly.
"Have you forgotten what your old man said? If you have a life to earn, you have a life to spend, that's money; if you have a life to earn, if you don't have a life to spend, that's paper."
Chen Erwa couldn't help but feel frightened when she thought of the strange experiences she had experienced with Lin Yi just now.
This business may not seem as simple as you think.
"Brother Lin, can we take these things away?"
"Take it away? As long as you can carry it, you can take away as much as you want.
The premise is that you have a safe way to take action. After taking action, you are not afraid of people following the clues and finding you, and you can also clear your relationship.
Otherwise, if you take these things out, they will cause trouble. Think clearly. "
Lin Yi is definitely not being alarmist, he himself has suffered losses.
Moreover, a few of them teamed up to find an expert like Qian Sheng. After they had done all the tricks, they were still targeted and took advantage of them.
A half-year-old child like Chen Erwa who has little social experience is most likely to be dazzled by sudden wealth.
It was still hard the day before as a boatman following the boss of the boat. There was also a paralyzed father who used to work as a "bangbanger" on the riverside and an old woman who worked as a small laborer to support the family.
After a sudden transformation, he became rich and powerful, who could not be suspicious of this?
The most important thing is that he might let it slip and reveal the relationship between them. That would be the real danger.
Chen Erwa thought about it again and again, and finally decided to follow Lin Yi's suggestion, and reluctantly put all the silver ingots back into the hollow oak tree stump.
"Brother Lin, are you not moved at all when you see these things?"
Lin Yi answered while untying the rope from the tree stump:
"I'm excited, why aren't I? Real money, real money, these are serious things, but I also know that if I take these things, the greed in my heart will control my thinking.
Can we get all the silver ingots?
Since I can’t finish it, do I always have to think about it? Today I want to take two, tomorrow I want to take four, and the day after tomorrow I want to fish out another 'green stick'. Once you are swayed by this desire, your life will really be lost. "
Chen Erwa looked at the silver ingots with a vague understanding, but still felt a little reluctant to part with them.
Lin Yi saw what he was thinking.
He had seen Chen Erwa's face before. He was an unlucky person and had no luck in getting rich.
That is to say, I happen to meet a few of them. If I meet a person with evil intentions, coupled with his show-off and publicity character, he will definitely not be able to save the big money around his neck, and it will not matter whether he can save his life. Hard to say.
"Every man is not guilty of carrying a jade" is a wise saying at any time.
Therefore, Lin Yi must help him "change his destiny". If he wants to "change his destiny", he must have great luck and help him resist "heavenly rebellion".
Lin Yi had already planned these for him.
"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities to make money. Not only do I want you to make money, make a lot of money, but I also want you to get the money comfortably without having to worry about it, and I also want you to spend it decently and comfortably."
"Really? Don't spare me!"
Chen Erwa joked.
"I mean what I say, come on, push it back."
"Push it back?"
"Push it back. This is not what I'm looking for. Remember the biggest log pile in the middle? There should be what I'm looking for."
Although Chen Erwa was very puzzled, he now had a very high degree of trust in Lin Yi and believed that he must have a reason for doing this.
The two found some firewood sticks, cut off the branches and cut them into round sticks, placed them under the "green gang stick", covered the lid, and worked together to push the wooden pile containing the silver ingots into the water.
Then he used the previous method to pry open the pile of "green sticks" underwater one by one.
This is a very physically consuming activity. The two of them work on and off, and time passes by like this.
Wang Qiang, who was still waiting anxiously on the shore, had no sleep all night.
He had smoked three packs of cigarettes in one night, and now his throat was filled with smoke. There was a small pile of cigarette butts under the car.
Throughout the night, Lin Yi was still out of contact. He even thought about calling the police, but in the end Qian Sheng and Fifth Brother persuaded him to stop.
"What the hell is going on with this Old Lin? Why don't you give me a message? There's no news at all. Isn't this a shame?"
"Brother Qiang, please be patient, be patient, be patient, wait, wait, we've been watching here all night, it's almost four o'clock, and in half an hour, the masters in the temple will get up Ring the bell and do morning lessons.
It's time for the people from the Southern Sect to come out of the underground palace. There may be no signal from the eldest brother's side for the time being. I think he has a good idea and is counting the time.
As the old saying goes, if there is no news, then there is good news. Wait a minute, ah, don't get angry, wait a minute, smoke less, it will crack your throat. "
"Third brother, does this still exist in your family's old sayings?"
"Then don't worry about it. Just wait for the good news. Take some time to relax. Don't wait until big brother comes to rescue you. Don't worry about it anymore."
Qian Sheng was on the roof now, still comforting Wang Qiang.
In fact, he himself was worried about Lin Yi, but he didn't show it.
From being business partners at the beginning, to being brothers in the same discipline through life and death, this relationship has been accumulated slowly, and the longer it goes on, the stronger it becomes.
Each other must be concerned about each other's safety.
Not long after Qian Sheng quietly sent out the news, he saw movement at the ancient well in the backyard.
It took the southern trio less than two hours from going down to coming out of the well.
It took much less time than them, but it can be explained. After all, Lin Yi and the others had almost cracked the mechanisms inside.
They just walked in smoothly.
This difficulty is not difficult for Feng's family.
Unexpectedly, not long after they crossed the back wall and disappeared into the vast night.
Qian Sheng went down to the ground, sneaked back into the meditation room, and bumped into Brother Five.
"What's going on, Fifth Brother? Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Fifth Brother looked solemn and raised his mobile phone. Qian Sheng only glanced at it, and his expression changed instantly.
