Before Ruan Qiqi could say anything, the camphor tree shook several times. Although a tree has no face or facial features, she could still sense flattery from this camphor tree.

"Ask it where Deputy Director Shi is?"

Ruan Qiqi said to the old camphor tree.

The camphor trees by the roadside were so excited that they seemed to be having cramps, and it began to rain camphor leaves, several of which fell on Ruan Qiqi's head and body.

I don’t know how they communicated. The old camphor tree replied, “Zizi, you don’t know where Deputy Director Shi is.”

Ruan Qiqi...

"I wonder if you guys have been talking for so long?"

The two of them were chatting so enthusiastically that she thought they had figured out everything about Deputy Director Shi.

"Zizi is very filial and sensible. He likes to listen to me talk about the past, so he said a few more words."

The old camphor tree's tone was still full of desire, and it was obvious that it wanted to continue chatting.

Ruan Qiqi got up and left. This camphor tree looked skinny and must have been planted only a few years ago. She had to find an older one.

After crossing a road, she found a tree with lush branches and leaves. The older it is, the more stable it is. Facing the same old camphor tree, this one was not so excited and did not lose any leaves.

The old camphor tree chatted with it for a while and successfully found out the news about Deputy Director Shi.

"He goes to his treasure hiding place every day."

Ruan Qiqi's eyes lit up. There was a treasure and she liked it.

"Are you guys still talking?"

Ruan Qiqi thought the old camphor tree liked to chat with the younger generation, but the old camphor tree shook its branches a few times and said, "No more chatting. This kid is not very talkative. The kid in front is more interesting."

Despite his young age, he is more serious than a tree that is hundreds of years old. It's really boring to talk to him.

Ruan Qiqi twitched the corners of her mouth. It turned out that no matter what kind of creature it is, they all like to flatter.

The camphor tree in front belongs to the person in the unit who is sweet-talking and can curry favor with the leaders. He can't do serious work and can only flatter. The leaders like this kind of flatterer very much.

This older camphor tree is a doer who is not good at talking. The leader does not like this kind of subordinate, but likes to let him do things. He is a hard-working person who works hard but gets no thanks, and cannot get along in the unit.

Following the instructions of Old Huang's camphor tree, Ruan Qiqi easily found Shi Jinghong's treasure hiding place, which was in a dark alley. The house was not big and looked ordinary from the outside, but it was a different world inside.

There was a complete set of equipment, including a television, tape recorder, washing machine, refrigerator, and electric fan, all of which were new. The furniture was also made of high-grade wood. Ruan Qiqi suspected that even the family of the top leader in Tanzhou City might not have such luxury as this small house.

Shi Jinghong was still in the courtyard. Ruan Qiqi didn't go in. She climbed up a tree and happened to be able to see the entire living room through the window.

At this moment, Shi Jinghong was counting his treasures in the basement. During the years he served as deputy director, he had raided countless homes and collected a lot of treasures.

At first he wanted everything, but in recent years his standards have become higher and he won’t even look at anything that isn’t a priceless treasure!

The basement was filled with boxes, more than thirty of them, large and small. Some of the boxes were covered in dust, obviously having not been opened for a long time.

Shi Jinghong opened a smooth, dust-free wooden box, and a golden light shone out. Inside was full of gold bars. He rubbed the surface of the gold bars lovingly as if he was caressing his lover, with an intoxicated and dazed expression on his face.

His favorite thing was gold, followed by jewelry. He had no idea about those so-called priceless antiques and after collecting them, he just put them in a box to collect dust.

Whenever he has free time, he will come here to see the gold. Touching it every day will make him happy for the whole day, and he will become more motivated to play tricks!

How can he fill his treasure room without bringing down those evil capitalists?

Shi Jinghong opened a few more boxes, which were filled with gold bars, dollars and jewels. After admiring them one by one, he opened a dusty box, which was filled with calligraphy and paintings, wrapped tightly with oil paper.

He picked up a few paintings at random, all of which were works of famous artists. It seemed that there was a piece of calligraphy written by the emperor. That unfortunate emperor was not very good at being an emperor, but he was quite good at painting and writing, and it was said that his calligraphy was particularly valuable.

He wanted to give these calligraphy and paintings away as gifts. His son had suffered such a huge loss this time, all because of that little beast Liu Hongbo. He was determined to send that little beast to the farm and punish him.

But the old man Lu Desheng was protecting his own people and he still had a gun. He would definitely not be able to win in a head-on fight, so he wanted to ask for help from his cousin who was a leader in the Jiangcheng Military Region. As long as his cousin was willing to help, Lu Desheng would definitely not dare to say a word.

Jiangcheng is the headquarters military region, and Tanzhou is the branch military region. No matter how capable Lu Desheng is, he dare not go against Jiangcheng.

His cousin loves calligraphy and antiques the most, so gifts must be given to the person who likes them, otherwise they will be given in vain. He was able to become the deputy director in recent years thanks to his gift-giving skills, which helped him to cling to his cousin's thigh.

Ruan Qiqi's legs were numb from squatting on the tree. She finally waited for Shi Jinghong to come out. After he locked the door, she hugged a branch and swung. There was a osmanthus tree in the yard, which stretched out its branches to catch her steadily, and then swung her gently to the ground.

"Thank you!"

Ruan Qiqi patted the osmanthus tree, giving it some spiritual energy. The osmanthus tree trembled with joy, as if it had eaten the flesh of Tang Monk.

She smiled. Plants are still naive. Her golden finger is really good.

She didn’t know what Lu Ye’s golden finger was, and she was a little curious.

With Guishu's guidance, Ruan Qiqi easily found the treasure room. He put plastic bags on his feet and wore gloves. The criminal investigation technology in the 1970s was quite advanced. It would not be wrong to be careful.

More than thirty boxes piled up into a small hill. She didn't open them all and put them all into the space, leaving no one behind.

The furniture and electrical appliances in the living room were also put away. She also found a small box in the bedroom, which was filled with brand new Great Unity banknotes and various tickets.

TV tickets, bicycle tickets, sewing ticket tickets, wine tickets, cigarette tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, national grain tickets, etc. are all necessities for people's lives nowadays.

Ruan Qiqi clicked around and found two bicycle tickets, three sewing plane tickets, only one TV ticket, five thousand kilograms of national food coupons, and a whopping fifty-eight thousand in cash.

She accepted them all without hesitation.

She also found a small notebook at the bottom of the box. When she opened it, she saw that the handwriting was crooked and there were typos.

"At 8:15 p.m. on May 15, 1968, my third sister-in-law collected 2,000 yuan, 1,000 kilograms of national food coupons, and three calligraphy and paintings."

"On the evening of August 20, 1969, at nine o'clock, the third sister-in-law received five thousand, a TV ticket, and five calligraphy and paintings."

"On the evening of October 5, 1970, at 7 p.m., my third sister-in-law received 6,000 yuan, six calligraphy and paintings, and 20 small yellow croakers."

…

Ruan Qiqi flipped through a few pages. Most of them were gifts for her third sister-in-law, and the amounts were getting bigger and bigger. There were also other people's names, but they appeared less frequently and the amounts were not that high either.

Obviously, this third brother is the supporter of Shi Jinghong in becoming the deputy director, otherwise he would not have invested so much money.

She also put the small notebook into the space, in case she would need it for Shi Jinghong in the future.

She cleared out everything in the house, leaving nothing behind, removed the door panels, and took them back home to use as firewood. Then she hugged the osmanthus tree and swung out of the yard. The camphor tree outside caught her steadily and dropped her to the ground.

Ruan Qiqi also gave the camphor tree a little bit of spiritual energy, and received its sincere gratitude. It wrapped her in its branches and swung her on the swing, and she almost swung out her breakfast.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the office building of the Tanzhou Cutting Tail Society, where Shi Jinghong had an independent office.

"I'm going to Jiangcheng, send me a car!"

Shi Jinghong was on the phone, and he wanted to rush to Jiangcheng to deliver the gift immediately.

Ruan Qiqi is lying on the magnolia tree outside the office window at the moment. There are two trees outside the window, one is a sycamore and the other is a magnolia. The sycamore has only some tender buds and is still bare. She can only choose the magnolia with more leaves.

Magnolia grandiflora, very similar to loquat tree

Magnolia grandiflora, super fragrant

She took out a pen and paper and wrote a sentence with her left hand:

"Lu Desheng's granddaughter Liu Hongling got married three days ago. She is two months pregnant and just had a miscarriage. She is in the People's Hospital."

He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it onto the desk in his office.

Shi Jinghong reacted quickly. She immediately ran to the window, looked around, and even looked in the tree, but Ruan Qiqi had already hidden in the space.

He opened the note and took a look at it, and was immediately overjoyed. If he couldn't deal with Liu Hongbo, he could deal with his sister. This Liu Hongling was definitely a hooligan. Let's see what Lu Desheng has to say!

Shi Jinghong called again and said in a very imposing manner: "Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, take a few people to wait at the door!"

He will go to the hospital now to arrest the female hooligan Liu Hongling!

[When writing about Magnolia grandiflora, I thought of a joke. A former colleague of mine had been coughing for a long time, and neither medicine nor injections worked. She heard that boiling loquat leaves and honey water could relieve cough, so she ran out to pick loquat leaves, boiled them in water and drank it for a week. Her cough was actually cured. Then her mother-in-law saw the remaining leaves in the refrigerator and said they were Magnolia grandiflora leaves. Fortunately, they were not poisonous, haha.

pS: Magnolia grandiflora leaves have no cough suppressant effect. The reason why my former colleague got better was because she had been taking medicine and getting injections. She would have gotten better even if she hadn’t cooked this.]
