Yan Zhaoqing pointed outside the house and said softly:
"These items most likely came from the Palace Museum's storage!"
"I suspect that the self-taught person may have colluded with people in the Palace Museum's warehouse to take things out of the warehouse and sell them!"
He guessed this because he thought the gold brick was a paving stone used by the royal family.
There must have been spares in the warehouses of the Imperial Workshops back then, so that if there was any damage in the palace, it could be repaired immediately.
After the palace was converted into the Palace Museum, the warehouses of the Imperial Workshops naturally became the museum's storage facilities.
If there are still a lot of brand new gold bricks, this is the place.
"The Palace Museum's storeroom!" A hint of seriousness flashed in Lin Yang's eyes.
Many of the items stored in the Palace Museum's warehouses are national treasures!
If it really was someone inside who stole from the premises, then the problem would be very serious.
However, these are all Yan Zhaoqing's guesses; what if that self-cultivation is really lucky?
They unearthed antiques from their ancestral home and then purchased gold bricks left over from the gold brick production area.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang looked at Yan Zhaoqing and said, "Uncle Yan, when is your friend available? It would be best to let him take a look at this gold brick."
Yan Zhaoqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at Lin Yang and said:
"Yangzi, maybe we should just let this go. If it really is someone from the Palace Museum, and they're involved with some ruthless antique dealers, then you're in danger."
“If you get hurt because of this, I won’t be able to explain it to your father.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang replied in a relaxed tone:
"Uncle Yan, don't worry, I won't act impulsively. Even if this matter needs to be investigated, I can't do it alone!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the top of the sky and said:
"I have a very good relationship with my section chief, and I also know the director of Nanluo Police Station. I'm going to have dinner with them in a while!"
"And both of them are getting promoted soon."
"Think about it, if this case is true, wouldn't it be perfect as a promotion gift for them?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhaoqing finally spoke up: "Yangzi, since you think this matter will be helpful to you, I will go to my friend's house tomorrow to urge him!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Yan!" Lin Yang said with a smile.
Yan Zhaoqing waved his hand and pointed to the Moutai in front of him, saying, "Why are you being so polite, kid? If you really think it's too much trouble for me, then have a few more drinks with me later."
As they were talking, Yan Zhaolong returned home.
Upon seeing the Moutai that Lin Yang had brought, he immediately ran to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of peanuts.
When Aunt Yan brought the dishes back into the house, she found that the three of them had already started drinking with just a few peanuts.
Knowing their drinking capacity, Aunt Yan didn't say anything.
He smiled and urged everyone to put down their glasses and begin eating.
The meal lasted from a little after 5 p.m. until after 10 p.m., and the two bottles of Moutai were completely finished.
Not satisfied, Yan Zhaoqing even took out a bottle of Maotai's father's Fenjiu from inside the house to drink.
Because he had to go to work the next day, and Yan Zhaoqing noticed that Lin Yang was only about three-tenths drunk.
Therefore, they did not force Lin Yang to stay at their house.
This time, Lin Yang was smarter and placed a flashlight in the space.
Holding a flashlight in one hand and riding his bicycle with the other, Lin Yang slowly rode to Nanluo Hutong.
Upon arriving at the courtyard house, Lin Yang felt a surge of emotion as he looked at Yan Jiecheng, who opened the door for him.
The eldest son of the third uncle's family is quite something.
Although he wasn't exactly outstanding, and like the Third Uncle, he was also a calculating person.
But their perseverance is commendable.
After casually tossing a peony to Yan Jiecheng, Lin Yang said with a smile, "Jiecheng, I took your family's vegetables yesterday. I hope your aunt is still angry."
Although he was a little disappointed that the cigarettes weren't from Huazi today, he knew that his purpose wasn't to get cigarettes, but to build a good relationship with Lin Yang so that he could get a job.
Therefore, upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Yan Jiecheng quickly smiled apologetically and said:
"Brother Yang, look at what you're saying. My parents were in the wrong in this matter, so why are they angry?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang smiled but said nothing, and pushed his bicycle back to the Intermediate People's Court.
Yan Jiecheng locked the front door again and returned inside when he heard his father ask, "Did I give you cigarettes?"
Yan Fugui originally wanted to go out, but thinking about what happened last night, he became a little angry.
Feeling that Lin Yang disrespected him as the third uncle, he made up his mind not to go out.
"Of course." Yan Jiefang put the peony to his ear and said, "Although it's not Hua Zi, the peony is still quite nice."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui regretted it and sat up in bed.
If he had known Lin Yang would actually give him cigarettes, why didn't he just go out!
Even if it's not Hua Zi, it would be great to get a peony!
Thinking of this, he frowned and looked at his son, saying, "Jiefang, why didn't you call me to come with you?"
"I did shout it!" Yan Jiefang said helplessly, "but you didn't want to go!"
"You can't just drag me out like that!" Yan Fugui said, getting up and walking up to Yan Jiefang. He grabbed the peony from Yan Jiefang's ear and said, "You don't need this cigarette anymore, give it to me!"
"No, why should I?!" Yan Jiefang was speechless.
"Why should I?" Yan Fugui squinted and said, "If you had dragged me there just now, I would have had cigarettes too."
During the bickering between the Yan father and son, Lin Yang took a sip of the spiritual spring water and found that his brain, which had been feeling a bit uncomfortable due to drinking too much alcohol, actually felt a little better.
