Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

It's no wonder that Feng Baoguo was stunned. Zeng Wangcai had just said in the morning that he would order someone to help, but the call came in the evening, and it was really the chief of the garrison who called in person.

Feng Baoguo knew Luo Zheng. He had followed Luo Zheng for a long time. Since Luo Zheng was Old Man Yang's old subordinate, he also knew Old Man Yang a little.

It was precisely because of this understanding that he knew how it was possible for such a high-ranking general to personally call the police station for a platoon leader.

But what Luo Zheng said now shows that he was talking about Zeng Wangcai.

"Feng Baoguo, what's with your expression?" Luo Zheng saw Feng Baoguo's expression and misunderstood him, so he taught him a lesson, "I was wrong to complain just now. Don't learn from me. The comrades sent by the garrison are logistics troops, but they are also our comrades. You accept them, and you can help as much as you can. At the very least, you can run errands for them..."

"No, Director, you misunderstood!" Feng Baoguo came back to his senses and explained with a bitter face, "I roughly know who you are talking about. He is the head of the Logistics Department, but his ability may not be what you think.

"I haven't finished my report just now. Actually, the case that happened early this morning is a bit complicated. It started with the kidnapping of a security guard at the steel mill. Investigation revealed that it might have been done by someone bribed by spies. I was continuing the investigation when the fiancé of the kidnapped comrade came back. He was Zeng Wangcai from the garrison. He and a soldier received a tip that the bad guys were hiding in the courtyard of No. 10, Dongzhimen North Street, so they took the soldier there. As a result, when we arrived, seven of the eight people were dead, and the one who was still alive had gone crazy..."

After Feng Baoguo finished speaking, the conference room fell into deathly silence for more than ten seconds.

After a long while, Luo Zheng scratched his head and asked in disbelief: "Two people, killed seven and captured one alive?"

"Ah, we didn't get involved at all. The battle was over when we arrived."

"Or in a situation where the enemy is on defense and they are on offense?"

"Ah, the three-story garden, the enemies are all in the middle courtyard!"

"You said that Zeng Wangcai is the one in the logistics department that the old leader mentioned?"

"Ah, he said today that he would go to the military commander to give orders, and you just received a call."

After a question and an answer, Luo Zheng figured it out and smiled happily: "They are indeed the old commander's soldiers. Even the logistics department is full of talents. Two people defeated eight enemies. Although it's not as good as I was back then, it's not bad... Hahaha, our branch will make a contribution this time. Feng Baoguo, I give them to you, so don't let me down."

When he was happy and excited, Luo Zheng's true nature was exposed.

He suddenly forgot that he had just complained about the old leader being unkind and sending the useless logistics department over.

Feng Baoguo still had a bitter face. He knew that it was useless to raise doubts about Zeng Wangcai's fighting process at this time, because the director who was in a good mood would not listen, and this director was famous for paying attention to results and not caring much about the process.

So Feng Baoguo suppressed his doubts and planned to pay more attention to it when he worked with Zeng Wangcai later.

Steel rolling mill, security duty room.

After Zhang Xiuzhi was arrested, there was no news from her and she did not come to work, causing the situation in the factory to suddenly deteriorate and many people took the opportunity to steal.

Zhao Hongqing was so busy that he not only asked the security team to take shifts, but also added the forces of the public security team, and even brought some people from the militia company to patrol.

However, there is only one Zhang Xiuzhi, and even such a capable person like her has met with bad luck. Even if others are willing to do something, they dare not take it too seriously.

Therefore, after Zhao Hongqing personally led people to patrol, the people who were resting in the duty room immediately started to herd the sheep.

"Have you heard? Zhang Xiuzhi's entire family was killed!"

"Ah? When did it happen? That's impossible?"

"It's true. I heard about it, too. I heard from the neighbors of Zhang Xiuzhi's courtyard that her fiancé's family of five, including her fiancé who was a soldier, were all dead. There was no one left at home. It was empty."

"Fuck him, is this dog spy so cruel?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense and get us into trouble!"

"That's right. I want to live a few more days."

"Ah, such a great man, just gone like that, everyone should take care of themselves, don't be like Zhang Xiuzhi and take it too seriously!"

"..."

How did the rumor come about?

The cause was that someone asked people living in the courtyard about Zhang Xiuzhi's situation, and the neighbors said that no one was at Zhang Xiuzhi's house. The person who inquired then spread the word that no one was at Zhang Xiuzhi's house.

If this word gets spread to another person, it will seem like Zhang Xiuzhi’s family is left with no one left!

Chinese is profound and extensive. Sometimes, the same sentence or the same word can change its meaning drastically with different tones, not to mention adding the word “了”.

As the rumor spread further, it became: There is no one left in Zhang Xiuzhi's family, the entire family was wiped out!

Moreover, within just one day, the rumor spread with every ounce of detail, such as Zhang Xiuzhi was missing, her fiancé Zeng Wangcai was shot to death when he went to stay, and the whole family was put in sacks and taken away at night, etc.

It’s hard to distinguish between true and false!

Zhao Hongqing's face turned pale. When he came back from patrol, he heard his subordinates spreading rumors and the army's morale was low.

boom!

Zhao Hongqing kicked open the door of the duty room, walked in and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said Zhang Xiuzhi's family was wiped out?"

"Section Chief..."

The people in the duty room looked embarrassed.

"Tell me, who told you that?"

"Chief, I heard..."

The answer behind is undoubtedly so-and-so, and the final result is naturally a large group of people, and it is impossible to find a single one.

"Go on patrol, stop gossiping!" Zhao Hongqing said unhappily, "If you had half the ability of Zhang Xiuzhi, we wouldn't be scolded by the factory director today!"

Those who had rested well went out with smirks, but they didn't take Zhao Hongqing's words to heart at all.

"You must be joking. If Zhang Xiuzhi can't handle it, how can we help?"

"That's right, we are here to work, not to die."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I have another piece of news. I have a friend who works at the Chaoyang Branch. Guess what case happened this morning?"

"What case?"

"You know Dongzhimen North Street, someone killed someone there."

"What's so great about killing people?"

"You don't understand. Killing people is nothing big, but if one person kills more than a hundred people at once, is that scary or not?"

"..."

The next day, a rumor spread through the steel mill that a horrific murder had occurred on Beixiao Street in Dongzhimen. A killer had killed more than 200 people in one go. The Beixiao Street was filled with blood and heads...

This explosive news quickly overshadowed the news that Zhang Xiuzhi's family was wiped out, because there were only six people in Zhang Xiuzhi's family, which was no match for more than 200 people.

When the news reached the courtyard, a group of young girls and wives who had just returned from digging wild vegetables were cleaning the vegetables and chatting in the middle courtyard.

After the Zeng family members disappeared from the courtyard, the second aunt was in a good mood. She brought a small stool and sat among the sisters: "Hey, have you heard? Something big happened in Dongzhimen. I heard that someone killed people. Four or five hundred people were killed in one night. No one is allowed to enter that place..."

"Scared, so scary? How come I didn't know when it happened? Is this true?"

"It's true. My husband heard it from the factory. He heard that the Chaoyang Branch issued a gag order, not allowing anyone to tell anyone about it. They were afraid that the people would be scared, so they washed the blood overnight, carried the body away, and buried it..."

God is buried!

The instigator Feng Baoguo would never have imagined that the group of seven people would have expanded to four or five hundred people.

Having dinner at Yan Bugui’s house.

Before the meal started, the third aunt said, "I have some news for you. Don't go to Dongzhimen recently..."
