In 618 AD, gaozu Li yuan ordered the change of Zhao County to Zhao Prefecture, which included a Gaoyi County, which is located in the western part of the present-day Northwest Plain, only 51 kilometers away from the provincial capital Shijiazhuang, south of Lincheng County, west of Zanhuang County, with a total area of 211 square kilometers, the terrain is hilly and sand dune, Gaoyi County has a long history of development, human geography is very distinctive, the people's life is calm, but in 1999, a major case occurred, which attracted the attention of the locals.
This matter should also start from the late Qing Dynasty, in 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance jointly attacked the Forbidden City, the Guangxu Emperor and Cixi had a big disagreement on the issue of discussing peace or fighting, this was his last time to discuss politics, on the situation in the Qing Dynasty at that time, the Guangxu Emperor advocated peace, and Cixi advocated war, the two sides quarreled for a while, the Guangxu Emperor even instigated his close ministers to write to the empress dowager and abolish the fold of the eldest brother, which completely angered Cixi.
Finally, under the discussion of many parties, Cixi issued a "declaration of war" in May of the same year, but the result is not to think about it, the Qing court can not stop the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, in 1901, Empress Dowager Cixi fled west with the Guangxu Emperor, but before that, because of his many confrontations, Empress Dowager Cixi had imprisoned him as early as the Forbidden City, and since then, the Guangxu Emperor has been useless, until 1908, the Guangxu Emperor and The Empress Dowager Cixi died of illness, and the Qing Dynasty fell into the hands of Puyi, who was only three years old.
In 1912, Empress Longyu method abdicated the edict, officially announced the end of China's feudal dynasty, this year Guo Charter was only eight years old, his father and ancestors were qing dynasty officials, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Guo family turned into businessmen, because the connections accumulated when they were officials soon became prosperous, and the business became bigger and bigger, becoming a small and famous local big family, but perhaps from childhood under the influence of his father, Guo Charter did not like to do business, but liked to read.
In 1929, at the age of 25, he was admitted to Beijing Chaoyang University, and majored in law, originally thought that after graduation, he could be assigned a good job, but who knew that the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1931 disrupted everything, although the Guo family accumulated a lot of wealth in these years, but still because of the impact of the situation and had to give up the family business, silently as an ordinary person, in order not to attract attention, Guo Charter's fathers decided to hide the family's money first.
But the Guo family's ancestral home and field property are still there, these are enough for future generations to survive, so before Guo Charter's father died, did not tell him where the hidden money was, until 1999, a farmer named Zhang Guixia in the former Guo family ancestral home to prepare for the expansion of land to build a new house, the construction team did not believe in digging out the old wooden box, everyone was curious, opened a look, it was actually a box of silver dollars and paper money, and later after the identification of experts, it was found. These silver dollars and banknotes are all Yuan Datou and unified silver tickets in the Republic of China period, which is obviously the money buried by the ancestors of the Guo family.
Later the construction team continued to dig down, and dug out several boxes of Yuan Datou and paper money, for a time, the news of digging out the treasure was spread, the villagers who heard the news rushed to pick up scattered coins in the field, and when the experts came, most of the cultural relics were divided by the villagers, and later the experts visited one household, and then chased them back, and later this batch of cultural relics was also handed over to the national collection, but what was surprising was that an old man named Guo Zengji suddenly found an expert who took away the cultural relics, claiming that this batch of treasures was buried by his ancestors. The place where the cultural relics were excavated was his own ancestral home, so he asked for it to be returned.
But because the facts have no way to verify, so the experts refused the old man's request, Guo Zengji and his descendants in a huff will be the original collection of these cultural relics experts sued the court, in 2004, the court after trial judgment, he presented the evidence can not prove the ownership of this batch of cultural relics, so still belong to the state, now more than ten years have passed, although the old man has died, but his descendants still did not give up the recovery of this batch of cultural relics, they believe that this batch of cultural relics is left by the ancestors, should be returned to the Guo family.
