Chapter 35 The Three and the Gold Brick

But human life is at stake!

If such a big mistake is made, the leaders above will definitely be held accountable, and those below will naturally follow suit.

No wonder Zhu Ting's face has not looked good in the past two days. I am afraid that when she learned that the woman was hospitalized, she guessed that the situation was more serious.

Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with Du Fei and mainly falls on Zhu Ting. However, since she has a strong background, it will not have any impact. At most, she will be depressed for a while.

But then, the aftermath of this incident must be properly dealt with.

The main thing is what to do with the two children after the woman dies!

I heard from Sun Lan that of the two children, the elder brother was seven years old and the little girl was only two years old.

It turned out that the girl was pretty, so the neighborhood committee helped her find a family.

The other party is an old bachelor in his thirties who works in a steel rolling mill. Because he was injured and his legs and feet are a little lame, he has never found a partner.

But with a formal job, the monthly salary is 31.15 yuan, which is more than enough to support four or five people.

Who would have thought that as soon as something good happened, the woman passed away and left behind two children?

That bachelor didn't get a wife, and he couldn't possibly accept two prostitutes for free.

Logically speaking, if something like this happened and the two children were unrelated, they would definitely be sent to an orphanage.

But the current situation is different.

When Section Chief Qian came back, he handed this matter over to Zhu Ting, intending to add luster to Zhu Ting's resume. He didn't expect that something like this would happen.

If the woman's death was an accident or force majeure, how to arrange the two children became a test for Zhu Ting.

Sending her directly to an orphanage is of course the simplest and most direct solution, but it is not the best solution for Zhu Ting.

If you want to restore the impact, win back the victory.

Zhu Ting must show her ability to solve problems in unexpected situations and come up with more appropriate solutions.

But in the final analysis, Zhu Ting is just a young girl who has just graduated from college and has not long been working.

<

br> She has a background, brains, and drive, but lacks some experience and means.

At this time Du Fei glanced into the small office again.

He found that Zhu Ting had stopped writing, frowning and not knowing what she was thinking.

After a while, when it was time to get off work, Du Fei followed everyone out.

He didn't even ride a bicycle after leaving the street office.

The Red Star Hotel is not far from here. There was no one watching the car downstairs in the middle of the night. Du Fei simply left his bicycle at the street office and wandered to the Red Star Hotel with Xiao Wu.

The hotel did not provide meals, so Du Fei ate a bowl of wontons and two sesame seed cakes at the wonton shop at the door.

Xiaowu only eats one meal a day, so don't worry about it.

By the time we finished our meal, it was already past six o'clock when we returned to the hotel.

Although a single room in a hotel is the most expensive, the living conditions are just that.

The only advantage is that the hostel has its own boiler room and the rooms are heated, which is clean and warm.

Du Fei rolled up the quilt on the bed and threw it aside, then took out his own quilt from the space and spread it on it.

I took out the radio, plugged it in and started playing it, which immediately gave the lifeless room a little more life.

I went to get half a pot of boiling water, soaked it in high sugar, and petted the cat while waiting for Lei Laoliu to bring someone over.

Just after seven o'clock, Lei Laoliu came to the door with a very tall man.

When Du Fei opened the door, he was stunned when he saw the two of them, because the one behind Lei Laoliu was too tall!

Du Fei himself is 1.8 meters tall. This man is more than half a head taller than Du Fei, and visually estimated to be at least two meters.

However, this man is tall but very thin. He looks droopy and has no energy.

.

As soon as the two came in, Lei Laoliu quickly introduced, "Xiao San'er, this is Leader Du."

The three who looked like telephone poles nodded and bowed to say hello.

Du Fei also nodded to him, and then his eyes fell on the cloth bag that came from the back.

The cloth bag looks heavy, and it should be filled with gold bricks brought as samples.

Du Fei was not in a hurry and asked the two of them to sit down and poured each of them a cup of tea.

Because Du Fei lived in a single room, the area was quite large. In addition to a bed, there was also an Eight Immortals table and several armchairs.

When Na San sat down, he wanted to put the cloth bag at his feet.

Du Fei chuckled and said, "Don't put it on the ground. Take it out first and take a look." ??

The three busy men raised their hands again and put the bag on the table with a clunk.

But because the sound was too loud, he was startled. He smiled sheepishly at Du Fei, opened his pocket and revealed two black bricks that were as thick as a palm.

Du Fei stood up and stretched out his arm, and moved one of the pieces. It was heavy and very delicate to the touch.

But these two bricks are broken pieces, only a quarter of the size.

On the side of the brick there is the year and the name of the craftsman, which looks quite decent.

Du Fei has no research on this kind of gold brick used by the royal palace, and he can't tell whether it is genuine or fake. Just in terms of touch, this thing is no worse than the high-end ceramic tiles of later generations.

But that was not what Du Fei really cared about.

After checking the year mark, he placed the gold brick next to his feet, then picked up another one and examined it.

The two gold bricks look the same.

Du Fei glanced at it twice and then placed it on the other side of his body.

Then I had some time to relax and looked at the three people who were a little worried. "Tell me, where did these gold bricks come from?"

"

Du Fei asked as he picked up the thermos bottle and planned to refill the teacups of the three of them.

But when he took it lightly, there was only the bottom of the thermos bottle.

Du Fei frowned, and Lei Laoliu next to him had a look and said quickly, "Leader Du, I'll get you a pot of water."

Du Fei said thank you, but he actually used up all the water in the thermos on purpose.

Even if Lei Laoliu didn't have such foresight, Du Fei had to take the opportunity to send him out.

With a bang, Lei Laoliu took the thermos out, leaving only Du Fei and Na San in the room.

Na San began to tell the specific origins of these gold bricks, so that Du Fei could rest assured that they were not dirty and there would be no trouble buying them.

However, he could not see that a gold brick that was originally placed at Du Fei's feet had disappeared.

In the portable space, this gold brick made in the eleventh year of Daoguang, that is, 1831, immediately began to slowly emit strands of white light under the traction of the white light ball.

Seeing this, Du Fei was secretly happy in his heart, knowing that good things were coming this time.

He calmly put the gold brick back to its original place and began to listen carefully to Na San's "storytelling".

According to Na San, his ancestors had worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, specializing in receiving gold bricks shipped from Suzhou.

From Qianlong to Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, the construction of the Old Summer Palace was almost uninterrupted, and naturally there was a lot of demand for gold bricks.

But when transporting from the Suzhou kiln factory to the capital, getting on and off the ship, and moving around, it was inevitable that there would be bumps and bumps.

Of course, the things used by the royal family must not have any flaws, and these cracked and chipped gold bricks should be smashed and buried.

But in fact, most of them were preserved and used for various purposes.

Those three gold bricks were secretly hidden by his ancestors.

In name, they were all defective products, but in fact, there were many that were not damaged at all.
