Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"A few days ago, I was only concerned about the people in my jurisdiction and didn't have time to send people to the villages outside the city to warn them. In the end, the bad guys took advantage of the opportunity."

Cheng Hao felt sad when he thought of those villagers crying their hearts out.

If prevention had been done in the first place, so many tragedies would not have happened.

"Director Cheng, don't blame yourself, this is not your fault.

These villages outside the city are not under your jurisdiction, so if something happens, the responsibility cannot be blamed on you.

If you want to blame someone, blame those heartless movies. They even didn’t let go of the melons and dates in the hands of the farmers. It’s really crazy.”

The director consoled him and encouraged him, "Let's hurry up and chase them along the way to prevent more people from getting hurt. It would be great if we can catch the scammers and recover the stolen money."

"Ah."

As they talked, the two of them pedaled faster and faster, speeding towards Qinjia Village with a trail of dust.

Before long, the two of them arrived outside Qinjia Village. Before entering the village, Cheng Hao saw a group of people crowded near the entrance of the village, bustling about and seemingly discussing something.

“It’s better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early.

We finally caught the damn liar."

The director stopped the car, adjusted his felt hat, and grinned.

It’s not a festival, but something big must have happened to bring so many villagers from Qinjia Village together.

Based on the damage done to the villages along the way, the director quickly deduced that bad guys were committing fraud.

And if they arrived at this time, they could catch the criminal red-handed.

"Director Cheng, there is no time to lose. Let's split up into two groups. I'll go from the front, and you'll go from the side to flank us. Let's also check if there are any other accomplices."

The director touched the gun on his waist and reminded seriously: "It's best if you can stop the person. If you think something is wrong, retreat immediately. Don't force it. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."

The director was not sure whether the scammers were armed, so to be on the safe side he led the charge himself, leaving the slightly safer flank to Cheng Hao, and told him to act according to circumstances.

"no problem.

But don't use force, just scare them away by making a show of force.

With me here, none of them can escape."

As he spoke, Cheng Hao reached into his coat, took out a pistol, loaded it skillfully and turned on the safety.

A lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Facing a possible armed criminal, Cheng Hao did not dare to be careless and was prepared to deal with it seriously.

Although it is unlikely that anything would go wrong given Cheng Hao's martial arts skills, it is still better to be careful. It is better to be prepared.

"Heh, Browning, I didn't expect Director Cheng to have such a good thing."

The director revealed an envious expression at just one glance.

In the 50s, there was no strict gun ban yet, and many government security personnel were equipped with guns, and local militias were also equipped with weapons.

It is not surprising for Cheng Hao, a cadre who has been to the battlefield, to have a gun in his hand.

“I didn’t expect you to be such a connoisseur.

This was given to me by an American military officer on the battlefield."

Cheng Hao performed a gun dance, and laughed as he got familiar with the feel of the gun.

Cheng Hao had been away from the army for over a year and hadn't touched a gun for a while. It was inevitable that he felt a little unfamiliar with it and needed to get the hang of it again.

"That officer is really generous. He is willing to give you such a good gun."

The director pulled out a box from his waist and examined it carefully.

The Turtle Box is the Nambu Type 14 pistol made in Japan.

This is a famous Japanese gun from World War II.

The reason why it is famous is not because of its ease of use, but because of its poor performance. Some people jokingly said that it was difficult for Nanbu XIV to commit suicide with it.

The Nambu XIV in the director's hand was much inferior to Cheng Hao's Browning. If it was not checked carefully, it would easily fail when used in battle.

“It’s really generous, but I’m also very generous.

I generously gave him a bullet, shot him in the head, and ended his suffering.”

Cheng Hao made a joke and waited until the director was ready before he moved carefully towards the crowd of people near the village entrance from the side.

The director did not hesitate and rushed forward from the front.

……

"Police, don't move!"

The director rushed into the village entrance with a gun in hand, shouting as he ran.

The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village were frightened when they saw a uniformed policeman with a gun suddenly rushing towards them.

Most people were so shocked that they stood there at a loss as to what to do, while a few turned around and ran away as if by reflex.

"boom!"

When the director saw someone running away, he thought it was a scammer who wanted to take the opportunity to escape after the incident, so he decisively fired a shot into the air to warn people.

The sound of gunfire like muffled thunder echoed at the entrance of the village. In an instant, everyone present seemed to be cast under a spell, and they froze in place, not daring to move at all.

Although no one knows what happened, the gun cannot be fake. No one dares to act rashly when facing a police officer who is armed with real ammunition and dares to open fire.

"Stand still, don't move!"

After successfully controlling the situation, the director looked at the young men who had just fled with a vigilant look on his face and said coldly: "All of you, put your hands on your heads and squat down!"

The young men were so frightened that their legs were trembling. They did not dare to resist and just did as they were told.

Just as the director was about to step forward to interrogate him further, a fat man in the crowd, who was neatly dressed and obviously out of tune with the people around him, raised his hand and shouted, "Comrade, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

The director's attention had just been focused on the escaping young man, and only when he heard the sound did he notice the strange person in the crowd.

After just one glance, the director suddenly felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

Then, a voice from the side confirmed his thoughts.

"Lao Luo, aren't you guarding the street office?

Why are you here? "

It was Cheng Hao who recognized the man's identity first.

Isn’t it Deputy Director Luo from Xining Street?

“Oh my goodness.

Director Cheng, that’s great…”

The moment he saw Cheng Hao, Deputy Director Luo finally felt relieved.

Just now, the director entered the village with a weapon and fired a warning shot. Deputy Director Luo was also frightened and thought he would have to die here today.

"You are...you are Deputy Director Luo?"

The director stammered, "What on earth is going on?"

The troops were divided into two groups, thinking that they could catch the scammer on the spot.

Unexpectedly, the scammer was not caught, but the deputy director of the street office was arrested instead. This result was really beyond the director's expectations.

"Never mind whatsoever, put the gun away first."

Cheng Hao greeted the director and began to comfort the villagers present.

Everything that just happened was purely an accident. Both of them are government officials. They came to Qinjia Village to catch bad guys and had no ill intentions.

After a busy period, they finally sent the frightened villagers back home. Cheng Hao and the other two gathered at the entrance of the village to exchange information.

"Lao Luo, tell me about your story first.

Why are you here instead of staying at the subdistrict office?"

"Uh~"

Deputy Director Luo pondered for a while, then stammered, "I heard that there were scammers in the village outside the city, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that as soon as I got everyone together, you suddenly..."
