The change on Hou Dahai's face did not escape Director Zhang's eyes. Although Director Zhang had some doubts in his heart, he did not care too much. After all, Hou Dahai had a very good reputation, and he did not believe that Hou Dahai would have any problems.

"Maybe it's something else. You're an old comrade with a lot of experience. If you have any problems, you should report them earlier."

Hou Dahai nodded, but didn't hear a word.

If he really reported this to Director Zhang, wouldn't that be admitting his own incompetence? This would undoubtedly be the greatest insult to him.

In the past, the police station was only used to intimidate the disobedient people in the yard. Since Wang Kun came, Hou Dahai found that the police station was a bit redundant. It was originally a help to him, but now it has become a burden. Therefore, his attitude towards Director Zhang is no longer so enthusiastic.

Director Zhang thought Hou Dahai was a little strange. He had not offended him, so why was he so cold? So his good impression of Hou Dahai also declined.

The two exchanged a few dry greetings and then left.

Director Zhang is an upright person. Although he does not take the personal grudge with Hou Dahai to heart, he is alert to Hou Dahai's abnormal behavior.

Over the years, Hou Dahai's courtyard has been famous for its doors that are left unlocked at night and passers-by return lost items to the public. No matter how hard other courtyards try, they can't match it. The subdistrict office usually doesn't investigate them for no reason. But this time, they secretly investigated Hou Dahai's courtyard, so something must have happened.

Director Zhang decided to go back to the institute and told his men to inquire further.

"Director, you are talking about Master Hou's yard. You asked the right person. I heard from the street office that someone reported Hou Dahai and his gang as a gang of thieves. That person also produced evidence. It seems that Hou Dahai and his gang are the big thieves in the northern seven provinces, and the deaf old lady is the big boss of the northern seven provinces."

Director Zhang tapped Liu Jianguo on the head with the notebook in his hand: "Where did you hear these rumors? We are a public security agency. We focus on evidence, not on hearsay."

Liu Jianguo rubbed his head, looking aggrieved.

"You asked me to tell you, but you didn't believe me. The day before yesterday, a policeman came to the neighborhood office, and Director Wang arranged for him to stay in Hou Dahai's yard. He discovered the incident, and he reported it the next day. If you don't believe me, you can go to the neighborhood office and ask."

Director Zhang looked at Liu Jianguo and was sure that he was not joking. But Hou Dahai and others had already been thoroughly investigated, so how could they become thieves? Especially the deaf old lady, who had been alone all her life and had been in Beijing. If such a person became the chief boss of the seven northern provinces, the thieves would not be a big deal.

But if it had nothing to do with this, why would the sub-district office investigate the Siheyuan? There must be something they overlooked. Since the sub-district office is already investigating, their police station should also ask about it to avoid being caught off guard.

Director Zhang decided to go to Director Wang early tomorrow morning to find out the situation.

Except for Hou Dahai who was delayed for some time chatting with Director Zhang, the other people in the courtyard came back one after another. When they heard that Zhao Wenjun's house was robbed, everyone started to prepare. According to the habit of the three old men, they would definitely hold a general meeting.

It is still unknown whether the donation is to Zhao Wenjun or to deal with someone's guilt. Thinking of this, many people turned their attention to Wang Kun's home.

No one in the courtyard would be harmed for no reason. Wang Kun had just arrived, so he should have been bullied. But he had a strong fist and escaped the first crisis. However, the situation this time was not optimistic.

Before he came, Zhao Wenjun's family had no money to lose;

Aunt Li was still worried and refused to let go. "If the three of you join forces, will you let that kid go?"

What do you mean by three people joining forces? It's as if we are doing something shameful together. I am just an ordinary teacher, and I am not in the same circle as those unreasonable people.

"I am different from Brother Yan, so don't compare me with him. Wang Xiaohu has only been in our yard for a few days, but Brother Yan has been pissed off by him. This time, I think he will have a hard time resisting."

Aunt Li pondered for a moment and responded, "Then our family's plan remains unchanged?"

"No, we need to adjust it a bit. We won't contact his family today until the thief is dealt with first."

After deciding on the plan, Aunt Li immediately notified the four children at home. The situations of other families were similar, but Zhao Dahai's family was different.

"It's just right. I've been worrying that I have no chance to control Wang Xiaohu, and now the opportunity has come to my door." Zhao Dahai said with a beaming smile.

Aunt Li was a little worried, "Ah Hai, if our family really wants to fight Brother Yan, aren't you afraid that the old lady will smash our windows?"

Zhao Dahai glanced at Aunt Li Er, clearly disagreeing with her idea. "Who said we want to go against Brother Yan? At present, our strength is not as good as Brother Yan's. Once we control Wang Xiaohu, the situation will be different."

Aunt Li was confused. If we don't help them, why should they listen to us? "Old Liu..." Zhao Dahai interrupted her impatiently before she finished her words.

"Yesterday he shouted that he lost a hundred yuan and forced Brother Yan to pay three hundred yuan. Logically, Wang Xiaohu can't escape this time. If we help him to intercede and let him pay less, only three hundred yuan to Aunt Qin's family, it would be strange if he is not grateful to us."

Aunt Li asked again: "How do you know for sure that he is the thief?"

"What matters most is what the leaders say. I am one of the leaders in this yard."

Zhao Dahai seemed full of confidence at this time. But Aunt Li still poured cold water on him. "Brother Yan and Brother Yan are also the heads of the courtyard."

Zhao Dahai seemed to understand something and hurried out. "I'll go discuss this with Brother Yan."

Yan Buhua was confused and pinched himself hard before coming to his senses. "Old Zhao, I don't know who the thief is. I can't help you with this."

Zhao Dahai became anxious. "Brother Yan, why don't you see the situation clearly? Why can't we be better than Brother Yan? Isn't it because he has the support of the old lady and Xiao Ming behind him? Wang Xiaohu is his only nemesis. If he listens to us, we can replace Brother Yan's position."

"How do you know that Wang Xiaohu must have stolen the money from Aunt Qin's house?"

"Isn't it obvious? Before he came, Aunt Qin's family had never lost money. After he came, conflicts arose. Stealing money from Aunt Qin's family was obviously for revenge. If it were someone else, they would definitely think it was him. How could he not be grateful for us doing him this favor?"

This logic does sound reasonable. However, things are often not that simple. These methods are used to deal with ordinary people, but Wang Xiaohu is not an ordinary person.

Yan Buhua was determined not to take such a risk. "Old Zhao, considering your invitation, I advise you not to get involved in today's matter. Wang Xiaohu is not a pushover. Without solid evidence, he will never admit it."

But Zhao Dahai completely ignored Yan Buhua's advice and slammed the door and walked out in dissatisfaction.

"Oh no, something terrible is going to happen. Why is Lao Zhao so stubborn?"

Sensing that something big was going to happen, Yan Buhua only wanted to protect himself. "Remember, don't get involved in anything tonight. Tonight may be bigger than the previous two nights."

The rest of the Yan family nodded in agreement. At the same time, Tian Fusheng also made arrangements at home, and told his children to quietly go out and report the news.

Xiaowei and Doudou followed their parents' instructions and quietly went out. When they ran into Yan Zhonglin who had returned home, they were so scared that they quickly avoided him. Among the children in the yard, only the three of them, "Mugun", were favored by Yan Zhonglin, and he didn't care about the others. He glanced at them and continued on his way.

After Yan Zhonglin walked away, Xiaowei and Doudou quickly ran to the entrance of the alley and waited for Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Kun walked on the stone road in the courtyard, thinking to himself: Every meeting in this courtyard is nothing more than a stage for a few old men to show themselves. Yi Zhonghai wants to promote his concept of justice, Liu Haizhong puts on an arrogant attitude, and Yan Bugui always wants to take advantage of others. Such occasions are simply a gathering of smoky and chaotic atmosphere.

Wang Kun didn't want to get involved in these messy things anymore, so he went straight home and started cooking. During dinner, Xue'er opened her big curious eyes and asked, "Brother, can I go play with Xiaowei and Doudou tonight?"

Wang Kun felt mixed emotions. He knew that going to Tian Youfu's house at this time would only cause trouble for his family. So he gently replied, "Not tonight. My brother has something to do. You stay at home and don't come out no matter what happens."

Xue'er was a little confused, but nodded obediently. They were about to continue eating when there was a knock on the door. A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Brother Kun, Dad and Uncle Yi are going to hold a general meeting, you should go and attend." The speaker was Liu Guangtian, the second son of Liu Haizhong. He was the one who ran around to inform everyone every time there was a meeting.

I thought Liu Guangtian would leave immediately, but he approached Wang Kun again and said in a low voice: "Brother Kun, you are the first person who dares to beat up Sha Zhu and the eldest uncle. I really admire you. Be careful tonight and strike when it is time to strike." After that, he looked around vigilantly, and then ran away without looking back.

Wang Kun was stunned, wondering: Do you know that it is your father who might be beaten tonight? But then he thought again, this courtyard is unusual in itself, so it is not surprising to encounter such a situation.

"Brother, are you going to beat the bad guys?" Xue'er asked behind Wang Kun with a brave light in her eyes.

"Why do you say they are bad people?" Wang Kun asked.

"They want to drive us away and occupy our home. Xue'er will go with her brother to deal with them. Xue'er is not afraid!" Xue'er said in a firm tone.

Wang Kun was amused: "You are a child, there is no need for you to fight the bad guys. Brother can handle them alone. You stay at home and don't go anywhere."

Xue'er hesitated for a while, looked at her weak body, and nodded firmly: "Xue'er will be obedient, Xue'er will not go out."

After arranging Xue'er, Wang Kun locked the door and walked towards the meeting place. He found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, waiting for the meeting to begin. The Jia family was the victim of this incident, and they should have arrived early. But now, Zhang Xiaohua looked around vigilantly at the meeting place, but Qin Huairu was nowhere to be seen.

Wang Kun learned from the whispers of the people around him that Qin Huai was now at Sha Zhu's house. His heart sank, it seemed that the matter would not be easily resolved.
