Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu glanced at Tang Mingping, and with a thought, he turned to Duan Gui and asked, "Brother Duan, if this incident really reveals something, would we be considered to have made a contribution?"

Duan Gui smiled and said jokingly, "Of course! What's the matter? Isn't the reward you received last time enough?"

He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands and explained, "That's not the case, Brother Duan. I mean, can we emphasize Brother Tang's contribution and give him a reward?"

Duan Gui and Tang Mingping were both surprised when they heard this.

Duan Gui quickly understood He Yuzhu's intention, and his eyes were full of praise: "Zhuzi, you really have good intentions!"

"Zhu Zi, this..." Tang Mingping felt a warm feeling in his heart. He walked forward and grabbed He Yuzhu's arm tightly, and said with a slightly trembling voice.

He Yuzhu reached out and patted the back of Tang Mingping's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, you have shed blood and fought for the country. With this award, you can enjoy the opportunity you deserve."

Duan Gui also stepped forward and patted Tang Mingping on the shoulder, comforting him: "Okay, Old Tang, just accept Zhuzi's kindness. Just remember the kindness in your heart."

Tang Mingping was deeply moved, his eyes slightly red. He nodded solemnly and looked at He Yuzhu with gratitude.

"Hey! Brother Tang, let's go first! I have to go back to the kitchen to busy myself." He Yuzhu spoke up to break the scene. He understood Tang Mingping's mood at the moment.

Duan Gui said as he escorted the two out of the door, and promised: "Leave this to me, rest assured! Zhuzi, I will also interrogate you about that matter."

He Yuzhu and Tang Mingping left the office together, and their figures gradually faded away.

When Zhang Deqing returned to the police station after the meeting, Duan Gui knocked on his office door.

Zhang Deqing walked in, took off his hat and hung it up, then picked up the kettle on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

He picked up the cup and took a sip, then turned to look at Duan Gui who came in, and asked with a smile: "Ah Gui, is there anything special happening today?"

Duan Gui walked to the table and shook his head gently: "Not really, but this time Zhuzi has given us another great opportunity."

Zhang Deqing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he asked curiously, "Oh? What's the good news? Tell me about it."

Duan Gui leaned over and whispered to Zhang Deqing exactly what had happened today, then handed him the information in his hand.

“Here are the details of two locations within our district.”

Zhang Deqing took the information, listened carefully to Duan Gui's description, and carefully read the information in his hand.

After a while, he put down the information and said excitedly: "Agui, what you said is very likely! I will contact the comrades over there immediately to conduct further investigation."

Duan Gui was delighted when he heard this, and nodded quickly, "Yes, Director!"

After several days of careful investigation, the police determined that there were no other strongholds nearby.

The two police stations began to take joint action and launched a siege operation on suspicious dens within their respective jurisdictions.

The night lights illuminated the entire office, and Duan Gui handed the list in his hand to Zhang Deqing with excitement.

"Director, this is a great harvest! The big yellow croaker is worth five yuan, and there are hundreds of small yellow croakers! I didn't expect these people to be so rich."

The smile on Zhang Deqing's face never faded. After taking the list, he carefully browsed through the detailed data on it.

"Haha, not bad, not bad, this is really a timely relief! However, you should hurry up and interrogate him today to see if you can get the bottom of the matter of the pillar."

Duan Gui shook his head: "I'm afraid that's unlikely. Looking at his appearance, he even handed over so much money, so he shouldn't be lying."

After listening to this, Zhang Deqing pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, the person who spread the rumor about him must be from their yard. Since there is no solid evidence, you can go over and knock him down tomorrow."

"Okay, I know what to do." Duan Gui nodded repeatedly in response.

Zhang Deqing waved his hand and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Finish it early and go back to rest."

"Yes!" Duan Gui saluted respectfully, turned around and left the office.

The next day was a rest day. He Yuzhu finished work early as usual and rode his bike back to the courtyard in the cold wind.

He was pushing his bicycle and was about to enter the courtyard when he suddenly heard shouting from the alley.

"Zhu Zi, wait a moment." He Yuzhu turned around and saw Duan Gui walking towards him quickly.

"Hey, Brother Duan, is there anything you want to do here today?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

Duan Gui walked to the door, a smile on his face, and replied: "Zhu Zi, the previous matter has been resolved. It's just that I didn't get any results about the person who spread the rumor."

"Oh!" After hearing this, He Yuzhu did not feel particularly sorry. After all, these little things were not enough to send people to prison.

"Brother Duan, there's no need for you to come all the way to tell me about such a small matter, right?" He Yuzhu looked at Duan Gui in confusion.

Duan Gui smiled and shook his head: "Let's go inside and talk!"

"Okay, let's go." He Yuzhu took the lead and stepped into the courtyard, followed by Duan Gui.

Yan Bugui was pacing in front of his house when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar. Turning his head, he saw two people walking into the yard, talking and laughing.

"Oh, Zhuzi is back!" Yan Bugui immediately smiled and greeted He Yuzhu enthusiastically.

He cast his gaze towards Duan Gui standing beside him and asked curiously, "Secretary Duan, how come you have time to come here today?"

Duan Gui smiled and nodded to Yan Bugui: "Teacher Yan, please go and call all the activists in the courtyard to the living room of Zhuzi's house. I have something to talk to everyone about."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui's expression changed slightly. He stared at Duan Gui closely, and the smile on his face instantly faded. "Okay, Secretary Duan, I'll go and notify them right away."

He Yuzhu looked at Yan Bugui's receding back, feeling somewhat puzzled. He turned to look at Duan Gui and said, "Brother Duan, what's going on? Why did you gather these people here?"

Duan Gui laughed and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder: "Uncle Zhang asked me to come here to knock on the door and give you less trouble."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and was filled with gratitude for Zhang Deqing's care: "Well, thank you so much, Uncle Zhang."

Duan Gui waved his hand and interrupted He Yuzhu: "Okay, you should go and talk to Uncle Zhang in person next time. Now stop talking nonsense and let's go in quickly."

While chatting and laughing, the two came to the He family's living room.

"Brother Duan, please find a chair and sit down. I'll make a pot of tea first." He Yuzhu walked into the living room and said to Duan Gui.

He walked aside, felt the temperature of the water in the thermos, picked it up and prepared to make tea.

Duan Gui took off his hat, looked around the living room, and said with satisfaction, "Okay, go ahead and do your thing."

Duan Gui took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then sat leisurely in the chair waiting.

Soon, He Yuzhu took out the tea set, put it on the table, and started making tea.
