Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Daxing Detention Center, also known as Daxing Labor Reform Farm, holds prisoners who have been incarcerated for more than three years.

Li Gang drove a truck loaded with fifty boxes of canned fish and twenty boxes of canned pork to the farm to discuss the matter of the stone with Director Qi Wenbin.

Director Qi had received a call from his old boss a long time ago, saying that an important friend of his came to talk to him about the stone, and briefly introduced Li Gang's identity, asking him not to offend him and to treat him well.

When Director Qi heard about Li Gang's identity, he was a 16-year-old deputy director, a factory director, and a captain. He wondered which compound this kid was from. His old leader had introduced a powerful prince to him, or his old leader was thinking about him. I heard that the old leader is now a general. Then this young man named Li Gang must have a major general at least.

While Director Qi was imagining things, a phone call came in from the door saying that an officer named Li Gang wanted to see him. Director Qi asked him to wait and he would be there soon.

Li Gang was also showing off today. He put on his military uniform. If he didn't wear it out to show off, the military rank system would be abolished in a few years. You know what, this uniform fits Li Gang well and he looks very heroic.

Director Qi came out in person to greet Li Gang. Li Gang felt very proud. You don't have any pride at all. Director Qi thinks you are the son of some leader.

In Director Qi's office, the two greeted each other. Li Gang also explained the purpose of his visit and the gifts he brought.

Chief Qi was shocked. This was really a big deal. Twenty boxes of canned pork and fifty boxes of canned fish. His old leader had also given him some of these canned foods. They tasted really good. The key point was that this was a lot of money. He was indeed the son of a leader. This was really generous.

Director Qi happily accepted it and said that Shitou's farm had plenty of them and he could come to get them anytime. He told people to prepare wine and food so that he could have a drink with the young Director Li at noon. Li Gang couldn't refuse the kindness.

Director Qi suggested taking Li Gang to visit the detention center. Li Gang was very interested in this suggestion. He had never seen what a detention center looked like in this era.

The two first took a brief tour of the male and female prison areas. The male prison area was relatively large, and except for some serious criminals, most of the prisoners were working.

The same is true for the women's prison area, but there are not many female prisoners, not even dozens, and Li Gang did not visit.

Then we went to the farm, the vegetable field, and the quarry.

At the quarry, Li Gang met an unexpected person. He saw that the prisoners were arguing and were about to fight. Director Qi also happened to see it and went forward to understand the situation.

As a result, the prisoner named Yi Zhonghai was again misleading people, saying that we should respect the old and love the young, respect the elderly, and help each other, which annoyed the people around him. He started arguing with several prisoners and was about to fight.

Director Qi asked the guards to lock up all those who were quarreling and not give them any food today. Let's see if you still have the energy to quarrel.

Yi Zhonghai did not recognize Li Gang, but Li Gang did. When the guard reported, he mentioned the three words Yi Zhonghai, and Li Gang noticed it. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the old man Yi Zhonghai.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, his face was full of vicissitudes, he was thin, and he walked with a limp. Li Gang didn't talk to Yi Zhonghai. If we were to say who Li Gang hated the most in the original drama, the first one would definitely be Yi Zhonghai. He talked about morality and righteousness, and acted like a good guy, but in fact he was the dirtiest, most shameless, and most despicable person in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai also saw Li Gang, but just glanced at him. Li Gang was wearing a military uniform and was taller and stronger than last year. Besides, Yi Zhonghai would not kill him. Thinking that Li Gang was a soldier, and an officer at that,

Back in the office, the two of them started drinking.

Li Gang: "Chief Qi, how do we deal with the situation just now?"

Qi Suo said, "Hey, what can we do? What can we do? We will starve for a day, and someone will take care of it tomorrow."

Director Qi saw that Li Gang didn't understand, so he said, "Let me tell you, quarrels are a piece of cake on this farm. It's not surprising that people get maimed or killed if they fight each other. It happens all the time here. Why do I say that someone will deal with it? That Yi Zhonghai will definitely be beaten tomorrow. People here are all gangs. You, Yi Zhonghai, made them starve for a day. They won't let you go."

Li Gang nodded and asked, "What's going on with Yi Zhonghai?"

Seeing that Li Gang was quite interested in the prisoners in the prison, Director Qi also started to talk.

"That guy named Yi Zhonghai is a piece of shit. Let me tell you, this old guy is a lost child. He used to live a good life. He was a seventh-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. Later, for some reason, he fell in love with a widow and wanted her to give birth to a son for his old age. It's fine if you want her to give birth to a son, but you have to get her consent. But when she didn't agree, this old guy started to make moves. As a result, she shouted that she was a hooligan. The old guy was scared and beat the widow with a stick. As a result, he was sentenced to ten years in prison. In my opinion, people like this should eat peanuts. I heard that the widow said something good to him, otherwise he would have to eat peanuts."

Director Qi went on and on about what happened to Yi Zhonghai.

Li Gang: "Yi Zhonghai was often beaten."

Director Qi chewed a mouthful of peanuts and said, "It's no wonder that Yi Zhonghai deserved to be beaten. He didn't do a good job of labor reform. He kept talking about respecting the old and loving the young, and respecting the elderly. If you talk about respect with these people, they will use their fists to fight you. At first, I thought Yi Zhonghai was really nothing, a kind person, but he lost his mind because no one had to take care of him in his old age. Guess what happened later?"

Li Gang also cooperated very well and asked, "What's going on?"

Director Qi: "It's not three meals a day here, there are only two meals a day, two steamed buns in the morning and one in the afternoon. This old guy is not full, so he deceives the younger ones, saying something like respecting the elderly and helping each other. As a result, you know what, there are really people who would rather starve themselves and give him a steamed bun. This old guy is not polite at all, he just eats it, he doesn't care if you are hungry or not. Do you think this old guy is bad or not, using false kindness to cheat people into eating steamed buns?"

"I discovered the hypocrisy of this old man, but I didn't care about him. But those old bastards won't tolerate him. When they saw him cheating people to eat steamed bread, they often beat him up, but they didn't kill him. This old man didn't learn his lesson at all. I guess the beating was too light. You saw it today. He started to use his morality and righteousness to cheat the newcomer. You see, he will definitely be beaten again tomorrow."

Li Gang didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would change after he went to jail. However, who would have thought that it was true that it was difficult to change a person's nature. He was still playing his hypocritical moral and righteous tricks in prison. He would never change his bad habits.

Director Qi: "Yi Zhonghai is nothing. At best, he is just a hypocritical villain who talks a lot about benevolence but is actually a hypocrite. I have all kinds of talents here. Let me tell you, there are martial arts masters, people who can split rocks with bare hands, thieves, swindlers, human traffickers, all kinds of people, even fortune-telling Taoist priests and monks who walk around with their doors half closed. What's up, brother? Are you interested? Do you want me to ask them to perform for you? Don't worry, I have the final say here."

Director Qi may have had a great time drinking. How could he not have a great time? This is Maotai and meat.

Li Gang: "Is this okay?"

Director Qi: "Take out the word 'ma' and tell me which one you want to watch and I'll ask someone to arrange it for you."

Li Gang also became interested. It was interesting to play like this in the labor camp these days.

"Then ask the Taoist fortune teller to tell my fortune, and the martial arts master."

Director Qi waved his hand and asked someone to arrange

Li Gang: "Qi Suo, aren't you afraid that they will run away?"

Director Qi looked at Li Gang with contempt. "Tsk, brother, have you heard that no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives? We don't have kitchen knives, but we have a lot of peanuts. There are machine guns on the walls around me. No matter how good your martial arts skills are, he will be finished after one volley of bullets. If that doesn't work, I still have grenades and mountain cannons. I don't believe they are made of iron."

Li Gang thought so too. If the machine guns kept firing, even Chu Liuxiang would be doomed.

Not long after, the guard came in with two people. Li Gang took a quick look and saw a sturdy man whose exact age was unknown, but he looked to be around 30 years old, and a Taoist priest wearing tattered Taoist robes.

Director Qi's face changed. "Brother, which one will come first?"

Li Gang: "Let's take this strong man,"

Director Qi nodded and took out a box of canned pork and two white steamed buns.

"Shi Laosan, see, show me your skills, my distinguished guest. If you are satisfied, these cans and steamed buns are yours."

The sturdy man named Shi Laosan asked, "Can I have a bowl of wine?"

Director Qi slammed the table in anger, "Don't push your luck. If you don't start, you'll only get steamed buns."

Shi Lao San was helpless and said, "I can't use it here."

Li Gang picked up a bottle of Moutai, stood up and walked forward. "It seems that you are very confident in your ability to reach out. How about this, you and I will fight each other. If you win, you will see that this bottle of wine is yours. How about it? Do you dare?"

Chief Qi was shocked and stood up quickly. "Brother, this guy is an expert. I don't know how many steel bars in my cell he has bent. If it weren't for the many checkpoints and strict supervision, he would have escaped long ago. You can't do anything reckless."

Li Gang smiled and ignored Director Qi, "What? Do you look down on me because I'm young?" There was a safe in the corner of the office. Li Gang went over, grabbed the safe, and started spinning it in his hands as if he was playing with a ball. Li Gang didn't dare to destroy the safe, as there might be something inside, and he didn't dare to act rashly. However, this was the only safe in the room that was of considerable weight.

Director Qi and Shi Lao San watched Li Gang playing with the safe in his hand, just like playing with a ball, without wasting any strength. Director Qi was finally relieved. It seemed that this brother was still a master. Come to think of it, even if the elders in the family were in high positions, if he didn't have some ability, he wouldn't be a captain at such a young age.

Shi Laosan was also shocked. It seemed that he had underestimated this young officer. He then became serious.

"Okay, I'll give you a fist bump," and then he punched Li Gang.

Li Gang also raised his fist to meet him, bang, bang, bang, bang,

Li Gang did not move at all. Shi Laosan kept retreating and finally sat down on the ground in the corner.
