Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The sins committed by God can be forgiven, but the sins committed by oneself cannot be lived.

Cheng Hao looked at the dazed Jia Zhang and said coldly, "Not only did Jia Zhang run away from the accident, he also dared to attack the police. He is really lawless."

If Jia Zhang surrendered obediently, she would be taken back to the police station and given a lecture before being released.

Due to the limited police force in this era, the public security department does not have too much energy to deal with trivial matters between neighbors. As long as no serious consequences are caused, they are basically let go.

However, she insisted on being clever, violently resisting arrest, attempting to escape legal sanctions, and defying the authority of the legal system. The nature and seriousness of the matter are different.

"Comrade Company Commander, thank you." Zhang Wei, who stumbled and almost fell to the ground, quickly turned around and restrained Jia Zhang on the ground, then turned to thank Cheng Hao.

Just now, he was careless and fell into the trap of Jia Zhang. If this thief ran away, Zhang Wei would be embarrassed.

"You're welcome. It's our responsibility as citizens to cooperate with the police."

When Cheng Hao thought about Jia Zhang going to jail, he felt relieved.

Shameless villains should be severely punished by the law.

"Help! Help! Help!

Someone come, someone is killing someone, police..."

As soon as Zhang Wei pulled Jia Zhang up from the ground, she continued to stir up trouble, trying to slander Zhang Wei with words.

"Shut up and be quiet!"

Zhang Wei handcuffed Jia Zhang's arms behind her back and handcuffed her.

Zhang Wei had worked in the district police station for more than a year, and he had seen some scoundrels and shrews before, but this was the first time he had encountered someone as disgusting and difficult as Jia Zhang. She was like a mad dog, biting anyone she caught, which was really disgusting.

“Someone, help me, I am being bullied.

Cheng Hao colluded with outsiders to bully our Jia family's orphans and widows...

This is so unfair, Lao Jia, please open your eyes and look, I will not live any longer..."

Jia Zhang sat down on the ground, crying and shouting, as if she was not going to leave.

Want to send her to the police station? No way!

She just sat on the ground today to see what this small police officer could do to her.

Jia Zhang's crying became louder and louder. Not only the children but also many adults gathered around to watch the fun.

Zhang Wei tried hard to pull Jia Zhang up from the ground, but the thief was heavy and kept kicking her legs to resist. For a while, Zhang Wei really couldn't do anything to her.

I thought it was just a small neighborhood dispute. Zhang Wei didn't bring any weapons except handcuffs, so he was in a dilemma.

Just when Zhang Wei was fighting hard, Cheng Hao, who had been watching on the sidelines for a while, finally moved.

He stepped forward and grabbed Jia Zhang's collar with one hand, and pulled her up like an eagle grabbing a chick. Jia Zhang's short and fat body instantly left the ground, and her short legs kicked in the air, but to no avail.

"Comrade Cheng Hao, you are really good at fighting."

A gleam of brilliance appeared in the embarrassed Zhang Wei's eyes. People who have been to the battlefield are very skilled. Cheng Hao easily defeated the person he had tried so hard to deal with. With such skills, it is no wonder that he could become a company commander at such a young age.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, if you continue to make trouble, we will have no choice but to break your legs first and then take you back to the police station." Cheng Hao said with a cold face and without any emotion.

To deal with bastards like Jia Zhang, you have to use thundering means and fight violence with violence.

Talking to her about reason is like talking to a cow, it's meaningless.

"You can't do this, you can't do this..." Jia Zhang murmured in a trance.

Cheng Hao didn't waste any words. He exerted force with his hands and threw Jia Zhang heavily to the ground.

After a dull "dong" sound, Jia Zhang, who was in pain, curled up her body like a cooked shrimp and could not move anymore.

"Comrade police officer, I'm going to trouble you with what happens next.

I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. "

Because Jia Zhang wasted a lot of time, Cheng Hao had to hurry up.

"No problem." Zhang Wei nodded in response.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao helped him catch the shrew Jia Zhang, otherwise he would have lost all his face.

……

Leaving the courtyard, Cheng Hao came to the famous commercial street in the old city - Houmen Street.

This street is located at the north end of the traditional central axis of the old city, connecting Nanluoguxiang in the east, Shichahai in the west, Di'anmen East-West Street in the south, and Drum Tower in the north, with a total length of about 800 meters. Because its southern end was originally the back gate of the imperial city, it was named Houmen Street.

There are shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians are constantly coming and going, making it very lively.

Since the previous dynasty, Houmen Street has been an important commercial area in the imperial city. Many of the shops that appear ordinary in appearance have a profound historical heritage.

Cheng Hao walked through the bustling front street and turned into a small alley.

At the end of the alley is an inconspicuous little shop with a faded gold-painted sign on a black background hanging on the door - Sihai Pawnshop.

When I walked into the door, I saw a row of shelves on each side of the small shop, which were filled with various old things. In front of the shelf on the right was a counter, where a short, middle-aged man with a mustache was lying and taking a rest.

The store was very quiet, with no other customers except Cheng Hao.

Cheng Hao walked to the counter and knocked a few times. The middle-aged man woke up after hearing the sound. He yawned and then greeted him, "Sir, do you want to pawn or redeem something?"

Cheng Hao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I have some rare items, I wonder if you would like to accept them."

"Haha, I'm not bragging to you, our Sihai Pawnshop has been doing business on the street before the Republic of China. What rare items have we not seen over the years?

If there is really good stuff, the price will satisfy you." The owner of Sihai Pawnshop said with a smile, stroking his mustache.

This pawnshop was opened during the previous dynasty. It has been passed down to him for the fifth generation. It is a century-old brand that has experienced all kinds of storms.

Cheng Hao nodded, took out a watch from his pocket and gently placed it on the counter.

The pawnbroker just glanced at it and his expression turned serious.

"Let me have a look." He picked up the watch and took out a gold-rimmed magnifying glass from his jacket pocket to examine it carefully. "Bulova, a genuine American product. Where did you get it?"

The A-11 standard followed by the US military watches was developed by the three largest watchmaking companies in the United States: Waltham, Bulova, and Elgin. The products of these three companies are of high quality, and the quantities entering the country are scarce, making them indeed rare goods.

“The boss is indeed a man who knows what he’s doing.

But does a pawn shop need to ask the source of the things it receives?"

When the other party mentioned the brand of the watch, Cheng Hao knew he had come to the right place. Only people who know the goods can offer the right price, and Cheng Hao doesn't want to sell the goods at a low price.

"I made a mistake.

Please come in, distinguished guest."

The pawnshop owner stood up and took Cheng Hao into the inner room for discussion.

The things displayed outside are all worthless goods, and the real good things in the pawn shop are strictly stored inside.

Even big business deals are discussed in private inner rooms.

"Sir, your watch is about 80% new, but some parts are a little worn, which will affect the price."

The pawnshop owner immediately pointed out the flaws of the watch, trying to lower the purchase price as much as possible.

Cheng Hao didn't care at all. From a business perspective, there was nothing wrong with others doing this.

"Boss, the wear and tear is not obvious. This watch is in very good condition. And genuine American products are rare in China."
