Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry.

Zhou Zheng handed over the information he obtained in Hong Kong and the results obtained from studying these information to Minister Liu of the Ministry of Metallurgy without reservation.

This means that his mission has come to a perfect end.

Minister Liu was overjoyed and praised Zhou Zheng highly, praising his ability and capability.

Moreover, Minister Liu also solemnly promised the Lou family: "As long as we make use of this merit, even if we return to China now, we will never be held accountable."

However, Zhou Zheng just smiled and shook his head gently.

In his opinion, it was too early for Minister Liu to speak.

After all, in the original book, when the storm hit, even he himself almost fell, let alone saving Lou Bancheng.

Moreover, the situation in the country is turbulent and increasingly serious, and no one can guarantee that they will not be implicated.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng decided to keep the matter a secret and never reveal a single word to Lou Bancheng.

In his eyes, it is the wisest decision for the Lou family to stay in Hong Kong at this moment.

In addition, the Minister's wife once again asked about food issues.

This time, Zhou Zheng gave a clear answer and explained that the grain reserves of the "Yanhe Gang" were limited and it was impossible to transfer them to the Ministry of Metallurgy at the price stipulated by the state.

Such an answer made the minister's wife feel very disappointed, but what could she do? After all, it was not easy to make Zhou Zheng do business at a loss!

However, from the attitude vaguely revealed between the lines of the minister's wife's words, it can be seen that Minister Liu was obviously fully aware of the difference between the "list price" and the "market price", but they still raised the matter to Zhou Zheng, which means that they attempted to take advantage of Zhou Zheng in this matter.

Therefore, never underestimate anyone.

Minister Liu originally intended to invite Zhou Zheng to have dinner at his home, but Zhou Zheng declined: "Uncle Liu, I just got back and I am exhausted from the journey. I am really sorry to bother you any longer. I still have to go home and get some sleep, otherwise I won't be able to take it."

Minister Liu has been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not know that Zhou was unhappy because of the food issue just now.

But he could only smile bitterly. The country is short of funds now, and this is just to see if there is room for negotiation.

Who would have thought that Zhou Zheng was so stingy and had none of the dedication of the older generation of revolutionaries.

However, it would be inaccurate to say that Zhou Zheng was a stingy person.

After all, his performance during this trip to Hong Kong was perfect and he did not make any unnecessary requests.

From this point of view, Zhou Zheng is indeed willing to serve the country.

He originally wanted to use this action as an opportunity to further discuss cooperation matters with Zhou Zheng, but when he saw Zhou Zheng's face again, he immediately gave up the idea.

After all, Zhou has just made a great contribution, so it’s not a good idea to force him to continue to contribute, right?

This is really inhumane.

However, the country's position and attitude still needed to be explained to Zhou Zheng, so he said seriously: "Xiao Zhou, the country will never treat unfairly anyone who has made contributions to the country. The information you brought back this time is very important. After I report this matter, I will personally ask for credit and reward for you."

Zhou Zheng did not care about the so-called credit. His primary purpose of going to Hong Kong this time was to visit Lou Xiao'e, and secondly to find Liang Qiu. Obtaining technical information was just a side job and ranked third.

Fortunately, all three goals were successfully achieved and he never expected to receive any reward for them.

After coming out of Minister Liu's house, Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, and then took out some special products from Hong Kong from the small space world.

Without any hesitation, he turned around, got on the three-wheeled sidecar and sped towards the military compound.

For Zhou Zheng, the military control compound is not just an ordinary place, but also the home of his endless emotions.

When he was a child, he was bullied by the residents of the compound, so he came here to seek help. It was also at that time that he met Aunt Hu Qian, who helped him a lot.

When they were in middle school, they, the "Seven Swordsmen", had a fierce conflict with pro-Japanese elements, and it was in this military compound that the problem was resolved.

Not only that, Zhou Zheng also worked in a military control compound and personally trained many outstanding team members.

These experiences are precious treasures in his life and are deeply engraved in his heart.

Although Hu Qian has been transferred now, Zhou Zheng's friendship with the military control compound remains deep.

Because the three-wheeled sidecar motorcycle was extremely fast, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the gate of the military control compound.

The gatekeeper of the military compound was still "Old Li". He was wearing a baggy cotton jacket, holding a huge teacup in his hand, and curled up in the gatehouse.

When he saw Zhou Zheng coming, he immediately stood up enthusiastically, greeted him and said, "Hey, little guy, you haven't shown up for a while! What are you doing here this time?"

Zhou Zheng responded politely: "Haha, Grandpa Li, I went to Hong Kong a few days ago and brought back some local specialties. I thought I'd come over to share them with you all."

Then he took a handbag from the sidecar of his motorcycle and handed it through the open window of the gatehouse, adding: "There's also a copy for you in here, please take it."

Old Li smiled and took the bag without hesitation, took a peek inside the bag, and then showed an extremely exaggerated expression. "Oh my, you are really generous!"

Zhou Zheng gently waved his hand to show that he didn't care: "Then Grandpa Li, I'll leave now. We can have a good chat when we have a chance."

Lao Li looked very pleased: "Okay, okay, go ahead."

When it comes to gift-giving, there’s naturally no need to say much.

As long as you send the gifts to your familiar friends, those who are not so familiar with you can also receive some delicious food from Hong Kong.

Next, it’s training time. In the name of learning from each other, we will teach those “youngsters” in the military compound a lesson and let them feel the care and love from their predecessors.

In this way, the trip ended successfully.

However, Zhou Zheng is in no hurry to return to Nanluoguxiang.

Since gifts have already been given to the military control compound, the Jiaodaokou Police Station naturally cannot be left out.

After all, although Lao Wang and Lao Zhao are more tactful in their dealings, they have helped Zhou Zheng a lot over the years, and this favor must be acknowledged.

What's more, this is a good opportunity to deal with the farce that happened at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Keep everything simple and punish each crime severely! This is exactly the attitude that Wang Dongze conveyed to Zhou Zheng.

As for the final conclusion of the case of Zhou Zheng’s property being damaged and stolen, all the people involved were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from three months to two years, and were also required to pay compensation of three times the total amount of Zhou Zheng’s property loss.

The one sentenced to two years in prison was naturally Jia Geng.

This is also the longest sentence in the juvenile detention center. Wang Dongze said that he would be imprisoned for two years first. If Zhou Zheng still has not calmed down by then, his sentence would be extended on the grounds that Jia Geng had fought during his imprisonment.

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng was finally satisfied.

This was not the time when the country was just founded and stealing a chicken could result in execution. This punishment was already considered severe.

In fact, Zhou Zheng originally wanted to send these people to the "Great Northern Wilderness".

Just going to the "Great Northern Wilderness" requires qualifications, and it is obvious that Yi Zhonghai and others do not have this qualification.

For a moment, Zhou Zheng became bored.

I thought to myself, "Do I really need to deal with these people who are not even qualified to go to the Great Northern Wilderness?"

"Why do I feel like I'm stepping on shit..."

"What bad luck!"

"Tsk, it's not as interesting as beating up the idiot..."
