Chapter 237 The crowd was furious; they really wanted to beat him up.
Once they arrived, the area was actually quite large. Old Wu stood by the cemetery, searching for Gu Nan's shadow.
Fortunately, Gu Nan is tall and conspicuous.
Upon seeing Gu Nan and Su Niannian, they immediately led their people over.
The group stopped in front of Li Guofu's ancestral graves.
Gu Nan greeted Lao Wu with a smile.
When Li Guofu saw Gu Nan and Su Niannian standing next to his family's ancestral grave, he glared at them with malice.
"Why did they bring the village chief to his ancestral graveyard? Are they going to eat peanuts here?"
"Uh? I don't understand it either."
"Are Gu Nan and Xiao Su, the educated youth, here too?"
"What's going on? Does anyone know?"
"What exactly happened to the village chief? Why was he taken to the ancestral graveyard?" The villagers really didn't know what was going on.
Although everyone knows the village chief is no good, surely he wouldn't be sent to the ancestral graveyard to be eaten like peanuts?
"Did they find anything over there?" Gu Nan asked Lao Wu.
"A jar of gold, and a jar of unity," Old Wu said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan nodded upon hearing this.
"The soil here has been turned over, it's right here." Gu Nan pointed behind him.
As you can see, the soil in the area Gu Nan pointed to was a different color than that in the more distant areas.
It is evident that the earth here was disturbed not long ago.
"Let's dig," Old Wu said, preparing to start.
"What are you doing? Are you going to dig up my family's ancestral graves?!" Li Guofu was on the verge of tears.
He couldn't let them dig up his family's ancestral graves.
If you dig, you'll definitely lose your life.
What's in the ancestral graves might not be known to others, but surely he knows.
The villagers standing nearby looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the police officers about to dig up someone's ancestral grave, wondering what they were up to.
But there was no intention whatsoever to stop it.
After all, police officers should have their own purposes in whatever they do.
The discussion just got louder and louder.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch my family's ancestral graves be dug up?" Li Guofu turned around, already crying.
He shouted this to the villagers behind him.
If he had treated the villagers better and had been an upright village official, perhaps some villagers would have stood up for him.
However, Li Guofu was usually very domineering, always cutting corners or making things difficult for others.
His reputation was so bad that at this point, nobody wanted to say a word in his defense.
Over there, Lao Wu, along with two police officers and Gu Nan, had already started digging.
Everyone is waiting for a result.
The four men who dug up the ancestral grave were all strong and healthy. Perhaps the soil at Li Guofu's ancestral grave was particularly loose, which made the digging go exceptionally smoothly.
Before long, a dark coffin appeared before everyone's eyes.
Li Guofu was now kneeling on the ground, looking at their actions with a look of utter despair.
The moment Li Guofu saw the coffin, his heart died completely.
"Shall we open it?" a police officer asked Lao Wu.
Old Wu simply said, "Open!"
Then the group pried open the coffin lid.
then……
Inside the coffin, there were no bones, but rather a large amount of white cloth.
There were also many porcelain pieces placed inside the white cloth.
Each one looks exquisite.
Su Niannian walked to the coffin, peeked inside, and couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Su Niannian might not recognize the other things, but there was one item that left a very deep impression on her.
It is a very famous national treasure that has ended up abroad.
The moment the coffin was opened, Li Guofu felt as if his soul had been ripped out.
It's over, everything is over.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Old Wu turned to look at Li Guofu after seeing the items.
He threw the shovel aside and quickly went to Li Guofu's side.
Li Guofu was kneeling on the ground when Lao Wu bent down, grabbed him by the collar, and yanked him up.
"Didn't you have so much to say just now? Now, looking at these things, what can you say?" Old Wu was actually very angry.
These are all important treasures of our motherland, but this so-called village chief is selling these precious cultural relics for his own selfish gain.
They don't even deserve to be called human!
"what is this?"
"Why are there so many porcelain items in the village chief's ancestral grave? Is that a vase?"
"Where did the remains of the village chief's ancestor go?"
"What kind of fetish is this? The skeletons inside are gone, replaced with porcelain vases?"
The onlookers were puzzled.
Then Old Wu gave Li Guofu a hard shove, and then opened his mouth and briefly explained what he could say.
The villagers present remained silent upon hearing this.
"You mean, these are all cultural relics? And our village chief sold them off?"
"I never imagined that Li Guofu, that bastard, would not only bully us on ordinary days, but also dare to smuggle cultural relics!"
"People like that should be eating peanuts! They wouldn't even deserve to die a hundred times over."
Hearing what Lao Wu said, many villagers became angry.
One by one, they all wanted to go and beat up Li Guofu to vent their anger.
That's absolutely outrageous! To actually sell our country's precious things abroad, Li Guofu is worse than a pig or a dog.
If it weren't for the police officers present and stopping them, these people probably would have already started beating up Li Guofu.
Li Guofu was frightened by the villagers' agitated state.
He collapsed to the ground, too weak to move.
I was terrified that I might do something wrong and then actually get beaten up.
Old Wu asked Gu Nan to call a few strong men to help him hold Li Guofu hostage. Then, the police officers carefully took the cultural relics out of the coffin in Li Guofu's ancestral grave.
After carefully packing it up, someone was sent to notify Xiao Feng, who was still staying at Li Guofu's house.
Tell them to pack up the people and their belongings and take them back to the county town.
When the villagers heard that the village chief was selling cultural relics, they were all excited and eager to help.
It was only after Old Wu said that so many people weren't needed that the villagers obediently dispersed.
Finally, Old Wu returned to the county town with Li Guofu, Li Jinshu and his wife, and the gold, money, and cultural relics they had found.
Gu Nan was also called away by Lao Wu to help.
This was something Zhou Qishan had already told Lao Wu before.
The case of the village chief of Kaoshan Village selling cultural relics was solved mainly because of Gu Nan's discovery.
Therefore, Zhou Qishan planned to give Gu Nan the credit for this matter.
We also hope that this significant achievement, once reported, can secure an opportunity for Gu Nan to return to the army.
Since it was inconvenient for Su Niannian to go along, she let Gu Nan go by himself.
As Gu Nan got into the car, Su Niannian looked at his back and it was as if she could already see him putting on his military uniform again.
