Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

When He Daqing returned home, Sha Zhu had already gone to the kitchen to cook.

Yu Li coaxed the child while saying, "Dad, you didn't see how arrogant Xu Damao was when Zhuzi and I just came back. He boasted to everyone at the door that he was going to marry Lou Bancheng's daughter. Don't worry, he became even more excited after meeting Zhuzi."

He Daqing said with a smile: "It's okay, let him show off. Haven't you heard the saying? Nothing good comes of being arrogant, and an arrogant dog will get hit by a brick! He is the type of person who gets carried away by success."

Chen Xueru also said: "Xu Damao is not young anymore and has been divorced once. I think it would be best for him to find a stable girl. Would a rich girl like Lou Bancheng be willing to live a stable life with him?"

Yu Li was still a little unconvinced and said, "Don't mention Zhuzi. I couldn't stand Xu Damao's smug look at that time. If he really married that young lady, he would have a hard time."

He Daqing smiled and didn't respond. He still wanted to marry Lou Zhenghua's daughter, so he could only wait for Lou Zhenghua's revenge on his family.

If Lou Zhenghua doesn't punish Xu Damao's family after investigating the matter thoroughly this time, he probably won't be able to sleep at night.

Things were exactly as the Qing Dynasty had imagined.

After returning home, Lou Zhenghua sent people to investigate Xu Damao's actions.

You wouldn't know the truth if you didn't investigate. Once you investigated, Lou Zhenghua was almost furious.

In the countryside, Xu Damao took advantage of the opportunity of showing movies to take bribes, and he also had unspeakable secrets with widows from several villages.

Some of these things have become an open secret in those villages. After all, the widows' lives are not easy these days. They can only survive with Xu Damao's subsidies. Many people in the village turn a blind eye and only talk about it in private.

As for what He Daqing said about the divorce of Xu Damao and Qin Huairu, Lou Zhenghua used his own methods to investigate everything between Xu Damao, Qin Huairu and Li Huaide clearly.

Don't underestimate a hero who can make a name for himself as a "half-city master" in Beijing. He has many means to find out the information he wants, let alone ordinary people like Xu Damao's family.

After completing the investigation, Lou Zhenghua went home and scolded his wife, then showed the results of the investigation to her and Lou Xiaoe.

When Mrs. Lou found out that she had listened to slander and almost sent her precious daughter into the fire pit with her own hands, she was so angry that she trembled all over and gnashed her teeth in hatred for Xu Damao's mother.

She said hurriedly, "Zhenghua, I really don't know any of this. It was Xu Damao's mother who told me how good and outstanding her son Damao was. Plus, I also saw the child several times when he was a child, so I agreed."

She turned to her daughter Lou Xiao'e and said, "E'zi, it's my fault. If your father hadn't suddenly thought of asking around, I would have almost made a big mistake."

Lou Xiao'e had also met Xu Damao before, and she was also deceived by Xu Damao's sweet words and did not discover his true face.

After reading all this now, I’m glad that I haven’t married yet, otherwise it would be too late to say anything.

"Mom, it's okay. You were also deceived. I don't blame you. Dad, what should we do now? You have agreed to this marriage, and many relatives and friends know about it. If we cancel the engagement, how will we explain it?"

Lou Zhenghua was also thinking about this matter. He was fooled and lost face so much that he was too embarrassed to tell anyone. If others knew about it, how would he, Lou Bancheng, face people in the future?

But it is definitely impossible to let him suffer this loss in silence. If he doesn't retaliate properly, others will think that he, Lou Bancheng, has become a toothless tiger that can't bite anyone anymore.

Lou Bancheng, feeling irritated, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I'll take care of it. Open your eyes in the future and don't believe others so easily."

After saying that, he went upstairs to the study. He wanted to think of a solution carefully.

Now the Lou family is not as powerful as before, and the management of people like them is becoming increasingly strict. People like them now live on thin ice every day, fearing that there will be any mistakes.

This is also the reason why Lou Bancheng is willing to marry into a Mandarin-speaking family, just to express an attitude to the higher-ups.

Thinking of this, Lou Zhenghua made his own plan. He couldn't handle this matter himself, so it would be more appropriate to find someone else.

So he first sorted out the investigation materials on Xu Damao and gave them to others to report, and then he mobilized his connections to cause trouble for Xu Fugui, who worked at the cinema, and fired him.

He wanted to bring disgrace to Xu Damao's family, and it would be best if he could send Xu Damao to jail.

Lou Zhenghua acted quickly and within a few days Xu Damao was the first to get his retribution.

The materials reporting him were sent to the office of Director Yang of the steel rolling mill.

After reading it, Director Yang was very angry, so he asked the security department to arrest Xu Damao directly and then verify the materials.

Now Xu Damao has been made the team leader of the Propaganda Department by Li Huaide, and is working towards the position of deputy section chief.

As long as Li Huaide becomes the deputy director of the steel rolling mill this year, he promised to promote Xu Damao to a higher level again, making him a deputy section chief, and then gradually promote him up in the future.

This was the result that Xu Damao had discussed after he caught Li Huaide and Qin Huairu's weakness.

Xu Damao was in a particularly good mood during this period, as he saw that Li Huaide's promotion to deputy factory director was a sure thing. In addition, he could marry Lou Bancheng's innocent and beautiful daughter, so he could be said to be having a great harvest in both love and career.

By then, let alone a mere fool, even the people in the entire courtyard, who would dare to fight with Xu Damao? At that time, he could deal with whoever he wanted.

Even He Daqing, the big boss, might ask me to be the one when the time comes.

He wanted to stand at the entrance of the courtyard and ask loudly: "Who else? Who else refuses to accept?!"

On this day, the door of Xu Damao's office was suddenly pushed open with force, which scared Xu Damao who was dreaming.

He looked up and saw three or four people from the security department barging into his office without saying hello. Xu Damao frowned and said in a bad tone, "What are you doing? Don't you know to knock before you come in? I'll tell your section chief later and ask him to teach you a lesson about manners!"

The entire steel mill used to belong to my future father-in-law. How dare a few people from the security department disrespect me? Do I still want to work in the steel mill?

Xu Damao felt that he was extremely powerful now and was not afraid of anyone. He might even have the final say over the entire steel mill in the future.

While Xu Damao was still daydreaming, the leading security officer said, "Xu Damao, we have received a report. If you have anything to ask, please go to the security department to cooperate with the investigation. Please!"

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately jumped up and cursed: "Which son of a bitch wronged me? Are you jealous and using such a despicable method? Tell me, was it that bastard Shazhu who reported me? I'll go and deal with him now!"

The man looked at Xu Damao coldly and said, "Xu Damao, please go with us to the Security Department to cooperate with the investigation immediately, otherwise don't blame us for forcing you to go there!"

Looking at the man's serious expression, Xu Damao suddenly became a little scared, and only then did he come to his senses a little.

So he hurriedly shouted: "Okay, I'll go with you, but I need to find someone to notify my family first."

A younger guy behind him was really getting impatient with what he was saying. He took a few steps over, grabbed Xu Damao by the collar, and pulled him out like a chicken.

"Fuck, I'm giving you face! Just cooperate if I ask you to. Who would negotiate with you?"

After saying that, he grabbed Xu Damao and walked out.

At this time Xu Damao was really scared.

How come this guy is as rude and unreasonable as Shazhu?
