Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

In one corner of the large vat were stacks of banknotes, next to which lay dozens of gold bars of various sizes, while the rest of the vat was filled with silver dollars, a dazzling array that made everyone's eyes dazzled.

There were two guns and dozens of bullets on top of the gold bars and silver coins. This woman was truly meticulous, always thinking about her escape route.

If she hadn't been taken back as a victim during a gambling raid, she might have escaped.

At that time, the price of gold was only a few dozen dollars, far less than the thousands of dollars it would be in later years, and the collectible value of silver dollars was not yet realized.

Even if they're worthless, the sheer quantity makes up for it!

A large vat was half full of money. Even Chang Kun had never seen such a scene before!

"Holy crap! There seems to be a lot of stuff here!"

When only a little over a thousand yuan of gambling funds were seized before, Zhang Qingfeng thought it was too little. But now, seeing so many things in the jar, he felt a bit troubled.

If it were less money, he would have kept it as a slush fund for his workplace. Now that he has so much, his workplace probably can't handle it all.

If they force him to take it, and this matter comes to light one day, Zhang Qingfeng will be the first to be punished. This is a typical case of disorganization and lack of discipline.

"That woman is really something else; no wonder she's so adamant about not saying where she hid the money."

"Isn't she stupid? She has so much money, she couldn't spend it all in eight lifetimes! Why would she bother opening a casino!"

"Who cares why? Running a casino has ruined countless families. She should have eaten a peanut earlier!"

After a few sighs, Zhang Qingfeng scratched his head, looking a bit worried. It would be a bit of a hassle to transport such a large vat back to the section.

It was already late, and since we hadn't considered that we needed to transport large items when we came over, the local jeep hadn't come over.

"Chang Kun, you live nearby, could you borrow a cart so we can go back?" Lei Guohong suggested.

"Okay, that works, you guys wait a bit."

Chang Kun ran to the supply and marketing cooperative and happened to run into his mother getting off work.

"Mom, is anyone still in the commune? I'd like to borrow your tricycle."

"What are you doing? Didn't you get off work?"

"I haven't gotten off work yet, so don't ask anymore..." Chang Kun didn't want to waste time arguing with his mother; once she started asking questions, she wouldn't stop.

If she were to find out that a female boss had emerged in the neighborhood and, like Empress Wu Zetian, had found a bunch of male lovers, the news would spread throughout Nanluoguxiang by tomorrow morning.

Chang Kun declined Da Liu's offer of help and rode his tricycle back home.

"Wow, my junior brother is pretty good. A tricycle is much better than a handcart."

"Brother Monkey, if you like, you can ride the tricycle when we get back."

"Huh?" Hou Jun didn't expect that a single sentence would land him a hard job. This large vat, along with the gold bars and silver coins inside, was quite heavy.

"What? You mean you want the master to do this, or the section chief?"

Hou Jun blinked and looked at Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü: "Alright, the three of us, Xiao Yu, Xiao Lü, and I will take turns riding."

"Who's going to take turns with you, Monkey King? You ride by yourself, I'm perfectly fine walking!"

Hou Jun rolled his eyes and chuckled a few times: "Are you sure you don't want to ride it? You'll probably never have the chance to pull this much money again in your life... Just imagine, when you're old, you can brag to your children and grandchildren about pulling a jar of money back then..."

Xiao Lü smacked her lips, feeling a longing in her heart when she heard about her children and grandchildren.

"Let's go, Monkey King! I'll ride first!"

At this point, Lü Jiawei couldn't resist and jumped onto the tricycle.

Monkey winked: "Junior brother, look how amazing I am! I've found two free laborers."

Back in the section, Zhang Qingfeng turned to look at the group of people below.

"Let's take stock of everything and put it in the account first."

With so many things, he was afraid that something might be missing, because even a leader wouldn't be able to explain it later.

After counting the valuables, everyone was stunned. The banknotes alone amounted to more than 35,000 yuan, plus four or five catties of gold and hundreds of catties of silver dollars. It was an unimaginable fortune.

"Tsk tsk, we're just a unit, we can't possibly have that much money." Zhang Qingfeng chuckled, patting the silver coins beside him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Later, we'll send 10,000 to the higher-ups, along with the gold and silver coins. We'll keep 5,000 for the Gulou Police Station. That's already more than enough. The rest is all ours!"

Hou Jun counted on his fingers: "Thirty-five thousand... minus ten thousand... minus five thousand, how much is left?"

"Twenty thousand! There are still more than twenty thousand left!" Lü Jiawei jumped up excitedly.

If this much money were divided equally among everyone in the company, it would be equivalent to working for a year without eating or drinking.

This is just extra income, not including salary.

"More than 20,000!" Lei Guohong and Lao Zeng, two veteran comrades, trembled. They had worked for many years and handled countless cases, but they had never seen so much money at once.

Normally, if they catch gambling offenders, they can get three to five thousand yuan, which is enough to make them extremely happy.

"Alright, the money's all been counted. Let's put it in the warehouse now. We'll talk about distributing the money tomorrow!" Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave work together.

From yesterday to today, it was just a small gambling raid, but it caused my mood to fluctuate wildly. I was running around all day and was so tired that I didn't want to move at all.

I got home early today, and my parents and the neighbors, Uncle Hong and Aunt Liu, were still listening to the radio.

"Oh, Little Kun's back?"

Before the old woman could even speak, Aunt Liu greeted Chang Kun as soon as she saw him return.

"Come sit down, I heard there was an incident in Beisi Hutong today?" She stared intently at Chang Kun.

While chatting in the next alley today, I heard from my old friends that the police raided the home of a woman in Beisi Hutong. Apparently, the raid was conducted by the railway police, where Chang Kun works.

"What happened?" Seeing that there was gossip to be heard, Liu Meifen couldn't care less about continuing to listen to the radio. She grabbed her son's arm and wanted to ask for details.

"Little Kun, is that a brothel?" Aunt Liu whispered, sharing the gossip she'd overheard. "I heard the women who live there often bring men back, and at night they wail and scream like ghosts."

"Really? Lao Chang, if it's a clandestine operation, that's your Gulou Police Station's business. Why is the Railway Police investigating?"

Chang Dashan chuckled twice: "I didn't know anything about this!"

Liu Meifen glared at him, annoyed: "I'm afraid some people are keeping it on purpose, thinking they can have some fun with it someday."

Every era has its dark corners. Even in later generations with all-seeing eyes, pitiful girls with dead mothers, sick fathers, and younger brothers going to school can still be found in some streets and alleys.

Fearing his mother might say something even more hurtful, Chang Kun quickly said, "Our railway police don't have that kind of reach. That guy ran a casino, and we just followed the trail to arrest him."

At this point, the case was basically clear, and apart from the amount of illicit money seized, there was nothing else that needed to be kept secret.

If you explain it directly to women like my mother and Aunt Liu, they will naturally spread the truth.

To avoid making wild guesses, lest in a few days the rumors spread that Beisi Hutong is a street full of brothels, that would be a huge mess!

"Oh, is that so?!"

Liu Meifen and Aunt Liu were a little disappointed. Catching a gambling den was nothing compared to catching a prostitute or adulterer. They figured not many people would be interested if they told others.
