Ge Jian lit a cigarette and said as he smoked, "I'll give you the rice. Is your one-month-old grandson used to eating rice soup?"

"... If not, I can get you some more milk powder~ But you can't be dishonest. Who would believe a box of dollars?"

Wow~ It feels like you are threatening others with the child’s food rations.

Lian Xiaomin continued to listen, and based on the subsequent conversation between the two, she understood it after analyzing it.

This old Pang, also known as Pang Yikang, was descended from a wealthy landlord in Jianye County.

But this person said that he had joined the revolution in 1939, and was completely different from his family members. He had long ago drawn a clear line between himself and his family, and he did not get any money!

I have told them that the only box of money is buried under a big tree in their yard.

Lian Xiaomin thought, this is an old revolutionary, based on his experience he would never be arrested, he was probably framed and someone deliberately picked out some problems about him.

As a result, some people deliberately dug up the fact that his ancestors were landlords and convicted him, saying that his family had hidden ancestral property.

He should have been arrested a few months ago. My daughter and son-in-law were also implicated by him and are now on this farm.

Lao Pang’s daughter was probably pregnant by this time and gave birth to the child on the farm.

The tiny baby had no milk from his mother and could only survive on rice soup.

Pang Yikang had no choice but to tell this man about the money, hoping to exchange it for some rice.

Lian Xiaomin thought that Director Duan, Ge Jian, and Wang Baoliang were really good at finding clues. They just wanted to keep digging deeper after smelling the scent of gold and treasures, and they would not let Pang Yikang go.

She couldn't help but think of Hu Yixun in Shanghai, who was also a villain. But at least the Pei family was still a big capitalist.

But this old Pang, who joined the revolution in 1939, should not have ended up like this no matter what!

She sighed and was thinking about what to do to save Pang Yikang from danger.

However, Ge Jian had no patience at this time.

He only had half an hour, and he managed to get it by begging and pleading, and looking at the clerk's face.

"Pang Yikang, let me tell you, your daughter's two children, the older one is only three years old. If I use some tricks, if the children run around and get lost one day, there will be no way to find them on the farm..."

"...If your daughter and son-in-law knew that you gave up two children for a little money, wouldn't they hate you for the rest of their lives?"

"...Why are you so desperate? Take out your treasures and I'll buy you some good things so you can raise your child well, isn't that good? You miser, why do you have to keep those dead things?"

Ge Jian really understands people's weaknesses, and there is a reason why Director Duan sent him to do this job.

After hearing this, even Xiaomin wanted to twist his neck and strangle him to death, not to mention Comrade Lao Pang.

His eyes opened wide, completely changing from his weak begging look just now, and he glared at the beast in front of him.

"You are all beasts! If it weren't for my children, I would starve to death rather than surrender to people like you!..."

Ge Jian threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

He could hear footsteps in the distance outside the door and knew that the time had come.

"Okay, you already know the consequences of not telling the truth, so just wait..."

After saying that, he stood up, tried to adjust his expression, suppressed his anger, and opened the door first.

The young man outside also walked to the door. The two nodded. Ge Jian looked annoyed and walked away with big strides.

As soon as the villain left, Pang Yikang felt depressed. Thinking of the two little children, who were so innocent, how worried he was, who could know...

Lao Pang was taken away from the warehouse and returned to the cowshed where he lived and was locked up.

Lian Xiaomin noticed that the room was not small, with a large kang (a bed on a hard bed) and six people locked up in the room, all men.

There was a young man who called him "Dad", perhaps he was his son-in-law.

The two men came to a corner and talked in low voices. Finally, Pang Yikang actually told his son-in-law that if things really didn't work out, he would just die!

In this way, the demons will let the child go, and there will be no place to ask where the treasure is hidden anyway.

His son-in-law tightly grasped his arm, tears streaming down his face, and kept saying, "Please don't..."

Lian Xiaomin focused his mental power on Ge Jian who was walking away, thinking, "Boy, you still have to go back the same way, right? I'll wait for you here on the road."

Old Pang was so pitiful that her fists were stiff.

But unexpectedly, the man named Ge did not leave the farm!

He turned around and around and found a residential area for cadres.

This bungalow is well built, with more than ten large tiled houses in a row.

He came to the door of one of the houses and knocked gently.

After a while, a man in his twenties came out. He was strong, had a dark complexion and a beard.

"Duan Jiang, your wife isn't home, right?"

The black-faced man shook his head, looked around, and motioned for him to come into the house and talk.

"She is a farm cadre. She took people to inspect the work. Tell me, how did that happen?"

Ge Jian sat at a table, lit another cigarette, and handed one to Duan Jiang.

"Director Duan said that this matter cannot be delayed for too long. If he doesn't explain, we have to take action against the older kid and let him know how powerful we are..."

"...I'll leave this matter to you. Tomorrow, when all the reformed elements have gone to work and moved the stones, you can get the job done."

The man named Duan Jiang nodded and asked, "Then where should I hide the child? Should I send him to the county town?"

Ge Jian sneered: "What county are you sending it to? How to solve it? Don't you know?"

Duan Jiang's face changed: "What? To take the child's life? This... I have never done it... I won't do it!"

"Or, just hide the kid. The purpose is just to get some money. Scare the old man and find out the truth!"

Ge Jian looked at him, paused for ten seconds, and then continued: "This family can't be kept until the end. Keeping them will only bring disaster. You can't do things like your uncle, brother!"

"… Let me tell you, the old guy must have hidden a treasure. How big of a landlord were his ancestors? They had hundreds of acres of fertile land!"

"...When we get the gold, silver and treasures, you will also get your share, and you won't have to live under the control of your wife anymore!"

"If it weren't for your uncle's relationship, you're a reliable person, and this good thing wouldn't have happened to you. It's getting late, so finish your work. I'll come back later tomorrow."

Duan Jiang had no choice but to send him away with a bitter and worried face.

I blamed myself in my heart, thinking that if I had known this would happen, I would not have gotten involved.

…

This time, Ge Jian finished arranging things before returning to the farm gate, pushing his bicycle parked there, and riding back to the county town along the original route.
