Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

In order to restore his prestige, Sun Dahai quickly turned the topic to Uncle Zhou: "I have finished my words, and now I would like to invite Uncle Zhou to speak."

In the end, everyone was still discussing, and no one noticed that the speaker had been replaced by Uncle Zhou. Looking at the noise in the crowd, Sun Dahai's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and he slammed the table hard, finally suppressing everyone's voices.

Since it was inconvenient for him to speak, he quietly poked Qian Baogui under the table. The latter wanted to refuse, but in this situation, he had no choice but to speak reluctantly.

"From now on, don't call me Third Uncle. Just call me Old Qian or Mr. Qian. That's all." His words made everyone laugh, and they began to discuss this strange title in secret.

Originally, they were discussing the plight of Lin Yu's family, but in a blink of an eye, the topic became Uncle Zhou's change of address. At this time, Sun Dahai and Liu Dayong were so angry that their faces turned blue. If it weren't for the occasion, they would have rushed up to push Uncle Zhou on the table and give him a lesson.

At this point, the matter had gone far beyond the original agenda. The originally well-organized meeting was in chaos, leaving Sun Dahai helpless and not knowing what to do. In the past, he would have stood up and said something in such a situation, but this time he did not dare to speak, fearing that others would ask where Lin Yu's family's money came from, and even more afraid of the issue of donations.

Liu Dayong was also in a state of panic. This meeting was completely different from what he had expected. In his imagination, Li Ming would be speechless after being questioned by him and eventually hand over the stolen money. His reputation would also be greatly improved, and he would even be hailed as "Grandpa No. 1" by everyone.

Thinking that these beautiful dreams would be shattered, Liu Dayong was furious. He slammed the table hard, forcibly attracting everyone's attention.

"Under my leadership, there has never been a case of theft in the yard," he said proudly.

Sun Dahai frowned when he heard this, thinking: When will it be your turn to lead this courtyard? Feeling his gaze, Liu Dayong added: "Of course, it also includes the contributions of the first and third uncles. However, since Li Ming moved in, many conflicts have occurred here and frequently violated our rules. Li Ming, if you still want to live in this courtyard, you must review your behavior."

Sun Dahai nodded slightly with satisfaction, thinking that Liu Dayong was quite sensible. He continued, "The money in Lin Yu's house was lost after you moved in. You are the most suspicious. Stop making excuses. For the sake of being neighbors, return the money to Lin Yu. I promise I won't pursue the matter any further."

When Zhao Xiaofang heard Liu Dayong identify Li Ming as a thief, she immediately agreed, "Then he should pay us three times the compensation!"

Li Ming was so fed up that he wanted to scold Liu Dayong. This is none of your business. Sun Dahai was hiding nearby, so why did you jump out and mess things up?

If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. "Liu Dayong, tell me again, your brother made up a story to accuse me of stealing, but I still beat him to a pulp. Have you forgotten?"

Liu Dayong took two steps back, feeling embarrassed, so he took three steps forward and approached Li Ming: "We are not wrongly accusing you, we have evidence. Li Ming, since you moved into this yard, the Lin Yu family has lost money, it's not you who is to blame!"

Li Ming took a few quick steps and kicked Liu Dayong away. This man was obviously looking for trouble on purpose. There was no point in reasoning with him. He always thought he was great and acted like a big shot. There was no need to waste words with such a person.

If you don't want to be bullied, you must either be of higher status than him or stronger than him. Since the official position is not enough, then the only way to prove your worth is with your fists. It's unreasonable to beat up the eldest brother Sun Dahai without also kicking the second brother away.

Everyone else guessed that Liu Dayong might be beaten, so when they saw Li Ming kicking him

The fact that Lao Yang was able to call the shots in Siheyuan for many years was largely due to Ah Zhu's fists. Any dissenting voices were severely beaten by Ah Zhu, which made Lao Yang's position in Siheyuan unshakable.

If everyone listened to Lao Wang's advice and chose to call the police, not only would his way of controlling the courtyard house become ineffective, but Azhu, the future elderly care recipient, would also be implicated. This consequence would be much more serious than reporting the case to the street office.

The subdistrict office mainly criticized and educated Lao Yang, and Lao Yang also had a merit of taking care of a deaf old lady, so he did not receive too severe punishment. But the police department was different, they directly arrested A Zhu, what should Lao Yang do with his later life?

For the sake of his own old age, Lao Yang suddenly became extremely brave.

"Stop, I'm representing Siheyuan and I suspect you of stealing money from the Zhang family. As long as you hand over the money, I can let you go."

Old Yang bravely ran behind Old Wang.

Lao Wang turned around and kicked Lao Yang, knocking him to the ground.

"Whether I am a thief or not is not your decision. You cannot represent the residents of the courtyard. You three old men have deliberately slandered me, and I will never let you go. If you don't want to call the police, I will."

Old Yang didn't care about himself, he just lay on the ground and shouted, "You can't call the police, you guys stop him. If anyone doesn't obey, don't blame me for kicking them out of the courtyard."

Uncle Liu immediately agreed: "That's right, anyone who doesn't obey is going against the three of us old men."

Two of the three old men have spoken, and the other residents of the courtyard have no choice but to stand up for their own interests.

Suddenly, the scene became extremely lively.

Most people cheered from the outside, but in fact they were not working hard. Of course, there were a few who really obeyed orders.

Although the sons of Yan Bo's family shouted the loudest, they actually still stood on the side of the majority. Liu Bo's two sons were pushed to the front by Liu Bo and kept winking at Lao Wang, which was a kind of fancy move. There were also two families that Lao Wang didn't know. They really tried their best to control Lao Wang together with Ah Zhu.

Of course, Lao Wang was not polite, and he beat and kicked them all, knocking them down. He also helped Liu Ming and Liu Qiang "fly".

Azhu and his men had bruised faces and blood at the corners of their mouths.

In the past, Lao Yang would have asked the aunt to ask the deaf old lady for help. But now Lao Yang knew that even if she asked, the deaf old lady would not come because she was afraid that Lao Wang would really sue her.

Lao Yang sighed. If he didn't call the police, Lao Zhang's money would not be recovered, and Lao Wang would not be punished. Compared with this consequence, calling the police was not a serious problem. As long as he could drive Lao Wang away and put in some effort, he could still restore his authority in the courtyard.

Looking around, unable to find a suitable candidate, Old Yang said to the aunt, "Cui Ping, go to the police station and tell Officer Zhang that someone is ** in the courtyard."

The aunt was stunned at first, then she ran out quickly.

At this moment, the residents of the courtyard fell silent, looking at Lao Yang in surprise. They never thought that Lao Yang would choose to call the police.

Even Uncle Liu looked at Lao Yang in surprise, "Lao Yang, why are you…"

The other residents were not only surprised but also somewhat worried, mainly Tian Zhifu and a few others, but they were few in number. Most people, like Ah Zhu and Lao Zhang, seemed pleased.

Calling the police seemed to give Lao Yang more confidence. He stood behind Ah Zhu and said, "Lao Wang, Officer Zhang will be here soon. It's not too late for you to confess now."

Uncle Liu was smarter this time. He stood behind his two sons and said, "Old Yang, we can't let him go easily. We must drive him away. If he stays, it will disrupt the image of our civilized courtyard."

Yan Bo was just a bystander throughout the whole process, not saying a word. He was a teacher, well-read, and knew that what Lao Wang said made sense. But the residents did not dare to resist the three old men, so Yan Bo had to follow Lao Yang and Liu Bo to benefit from it.

Now the situation has changed. The person who is not easy to deal with has become Lao Wang, and Lao Yang’s previous tricks are completely ineffective.

Before the meeting, Yan Bo had a premonition that something big was going to happen, but he did not expect that it would alarm the police station.

After the police station arrived, the development of the situation was no longer under their control.

The aunt left the courtyard and ran all the way to the police station.

At this time, the police station had closed down, leaving only two policemen on duty. Officer Zhang did not leave either, and kept thinking about the purpose of the subdistrict office.

As soon as the aunt entered the room, she shouted, "Officer Zhang, I want to find Officer Zhang to report the incident to the police."

The police officer on duty supported the auntie and said, "Auntie, what can I do for Officer Zhang?"

The police station was closed, and Officer Zhang heard the noise in his office and came out to see what was happening. He had a good relationship with Lao Yang and recognized the auntie. When he saw her coming to report the incident, he immediately came over.

The aunt was relieved to see Officer Zhang in person.

"Officer Zhang, Lao Yang was beaten up, go quickly

Zhao Qiang frowned and stared coldly at the two rookie policemen. Then he turned his gaze to Captain Li and said, "If you want to protect your subordinates, let them put away their guns first."

Captain Li exuded not only the majesty of a leader, but also an unshakable fighting spirit. When Zhao Qiang released his own aura, Captain Li's face changed immediately.

Lin Dahai, who was standing next to him, immediately warned, "Captain Li, Zhao Qiang is a very violent person. He will get violent if you're not careful. You must be careful."

Captain Li glanced at Lin Dahai and felt a little confused, but he didn't have time to think about it. He turned to his two subordinates and said in a deep voice: "Put away your guns."

Although the two young policemen were unwilling, they had to obey the order and put away their guns.

Captain Li looked around and felt that the scene in the courtyard was extremely unusual. Except for a few residents who were obviously injured, everyone else was almost intact.

Didn't they say that Lin Dahai had a hundred responses in the courtyard? Why were only these few people taking action now?

All kinds of doubts were swirling in his mind. "Old Lin, tell me what's going on here."

Lin Dahai actually hadn't figured out how to explain it. He had no experience in calling the police, but he thought that since he was familiar with Captain Li, the other party would be biased towards him. So he decided to respond in his usual way.

"Captain Li, we are holding a meeting today to help Xiaofang's family recover their lost money. Our courtyard has been rated as a model courtyard for many years, and nothing has ever been lost. Zhao Qiang has been here for less than two days, and Xiaofang's family has lost more than 2,600 yuan."
