The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

In the afternoon, every household was busy again. Of course, they had to make dumplings with the pork and flour that were the ready-made rewards.

As night falls, the courtyard is brightly lit.

The same scene is seen in every household, with the whole family sitting together, eating delicious dumplings and welcoming the arrival of the New Year together.

Chang Wei's family is also having a great time, playing cards at night to welcome the New Year.

Of course, there was a thrilling and grand showdown in the end, which lasted until the cockcrowed before everyone fell asleep.

The second day of the new year.

Chang Wei and his family rode their bicycles to Zhao Zhen's home to pay New Year's greetings. They asked the guard at the gate of the compound to make a phone call for confirmation before they were allowed to enter.

Arrived at Zhao Zhen's house and knocked on the door.

"Old Zhao, Happy New Year to Auntie. Do you want me to kowtow to you as a token of my appreciation?" Chang Wei said with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao, Happy New Year to Auntie." Qin Huairu followed suit to wish everyone a happy new year.

"Huai Ru, Happy New Year!" Zhao Zhen smiled proudly and took out two red envelopes from his pocket. Every year when Chang Wei's family came, he had prepared them in advance. "You kid, don't be polite. Look, I have prepared the red envelopes."

"Oh! Are you ready? Sons, come and kowtow to your Grandpa Zhao on behalf of your father." Chang Wei immediately pushed out the two older sons.

"Grandpa Zhao, Grandma Shen, Happy New Year." The two little guys immediately stepped forward to greet them and were about to kneel down and kowtow.

"My dears, be good and don't kowtow to them. Ignore them and let them play by themselves. Grandma will take you to get some delicious food." Shen Man hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, glared at Zhao Zhen, snatched the red envelope from his hand and handed it to the two little ones, holding one in each hand, and then called Qin Huairu. "Huairu, let's go into the house and let them play by themselves!"

Qin Huairu nodded and followed Shen Man into the house. The two of them smiled at each other.

Chang Wei said cheerfully. "Old Zhao, I'm not kidding, am I?"

Zhao Zhen laughed and called out, "Come and sit down, kid."

After Chang Wei sat down, he said casually, "Old Zhao, your son won't find you a daughter-in-law? He won't let you hold your grandson?"

"He's not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?" Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly, and after making tea for Chang Wei, he said with a smile. "Let's not talk about him, let's talk about you. You are a very secretive kid. If Lao Luo hadn't asked you for help and checked your background and connections as a routine, none of us would have thought that you are so extraordinary."

Chang Wei said with a calm face and a faint smile. "Don't bullshit, Lao Zhao, I'm just a lazy and good young man, not as mysterious as you say."

Zhao Zhen smiled meaningfully. "You are still pretending to be nice to me, I won't talk about the others, but you are familiar with the brothers Chang Feng and Chang Biao, right?"

Chang Wei still looked calm and composed. "I know, they are just my two brothers. You didn't ask me, and I don't need to report my family members when I go on a blind date with you. Even if it's a blind date, you don't need to report these brothers. There are so many people, I can report them all!"

Zhao Zhen took out an old photo, which was filled with people like a school graduation photo, and said, "Keep fooling me, and see if I believe it or not. The others are your brothers, but Chang Feng and Chang Biao are obviously your brothers.

You are the youngest among the three brothers. You are the third child in the family but you have a very high talent in martial arts. All the brothers call you "little senior brother". Therefore, you are the most favored by the old man and are always kept by his side to be taught.

After that, Guandong fell and your father died. In order to preserve the family heritage, the old man arranged for his apprentice to send the two brothers to Hong Kong to continue the family line, and took you into the mountains to avoid disaster.

Oh, and your father was the best fighter in Kanto back then, one of the founders of the Anti-Japanese United Army, and the commander of the First Division of the First Army, Comrade Chang Zhanyun...

Why are you hiding it? With your red background, why would you want to be a pig butcher? "

Chang Wei smiled faintly. "Old Zhao, if you know it, just know it! Why are you telling me? It's not like I have lost my memory and I need you to repeat it.

As for killing pigs, it’s better than performing, right? I don’t know how to do anything else.”

"You..." Zhao Zhen was speechless for a moment, then he smiled again when he thought of Chang Wei's tough personality. "Okay, okay, I'm just too surprised that you didn't reveal anything about our relationship."

Chang Wei guessed it was asking, "Old Zhao, you've been reciting for a long time, is there something wrong?

Oh, no, it should be Lao Luo, the weird old guy from the Political Security Bureau, who has something wrong, right?"

After the reform of the Ministry of Public Security, Luo Yong, an old criminal investigator, was transferred to the Political Security Bureau as deputy director. And Zhu Yulong, an old leader, was transferred to the Armed Security Bureau as director. These two people were also involved in problems, but he had the best relationship with Zhao Zhen, so he was probably asked to explore the way.

Zhao Zhen laughed. "You guessed it, it's Lao Luo, he didn't say who he was. You know he keeps talking nonsense, saying this is a secret, that is a secret, let's go to his house this afternoon to talk."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and cook. I didn't even have enough food this morning just to have a meal with you."

"It's my honor. Come on, let's cook. You're good at cutting, so help me."

As they talked, the two of them walked into the kitchen and started busying themselves. They were already used to it.

Shen Man in their family is not very good at cooking, so when guests come, Zhao Zhen cooks for them.

Chang Wei's background information that suddenly appeared just now was all filled in by Lai Fu. The information was transmitted to his mind just as he entered the door. If he hadn't had a good psychological quality, he would have been exposed.

after eating,

Shen Man and Qin Huairu packed up, and Chang Wei and Zhao Zhen went out to Luo Yong's house.

Luo Yong's family lived in the compound next door, and the two arrived there in no time.

I knocked on the door and it opened after a while.

"Happy New Year! You two are here pretty fast. You just had dinner late. Come in, come in." Luo Yong greeted them warmly.

Chang Wei and Zhao Zhen walked into the living room and sat down on the sofa.

"Lao Luo, my aunt and the others are not at home?" Chang Wei asked casually.

"She took the child to her mother's house." Luo Yong said as he poured tea for the two of them.

"You guy, your sister-in-law is not at home, why don't you just come to my place to eat?" Zhao Zhen said unhappily.

"I happen to have some things to do today, so I'll just have the leftovers to make do with. Next time, if no one cooks, I'll just come to your house." Luo Yong responded with a smile.

"Lao Luo, I heard from Lao Zhao that you need my help with something. Isn't that rare?" Chang Wei said straight to the point.

Luo Yong muttered in a low voice, "Awei, I do need your help with something, but I have to tell you first that you will need to travel far away, and it will also be quite dangerous. I will only tell you after you have thought it over."

"Is it very dangerous?" Zhao Zhen asked doubtfully. He had never heard of it before.

"Lao Luo, since you don't say anything, I can't promise you anything." Chang Wei spread his hands.

He is not a god who can do everything.

Luo Yong thought for a moment and said, "Old Zhao, you stay here. Ah Wei, come with me to the study."

Zhao Zhen was also curious and waved his hand. "Go ahead, go ahead, go inside and talk. I don't want to know."

Luo Yong explained. "This is a confidential matter. The fewer people who know about it, the better. Lao Zhao, you are an old comrade. You should know the rules of the organization and confidentiality."

As he said that, he pulled Chang Wei into the study, and they both sat down.

"Awei, before you agree, I can only tell you that this time you are needed to protect someone's safety, a very important person." Luo Yong said seriously.

"Are there any troops involved? Is there a large-scale gun battle? Will there be heavy weapons?" Chang Wei asked three questions in a row.

Again, he is not a god. He can withstand one or two ordinary bullets, but if there is a heavy machine gun or a sniper rifle with high lethality, he will be injured and may even die.

No matter how good the relationship is, it is impossible to sacrifice one's life for the deceased.

Luo Yong thought about it thoughtfully and answered truthfully. "There won't be any troops. The main thing we need to guard against is unexpected assassination attacks lurking in the dark. They are all small-scale teams, but they should have bombs, sniper rifles and the like."

That being said, it will be possible then, as long as Lai Fu agrees.

Chang Wei thought about it and said frankly, "Lao Luo, I can help you, but I can't guarantee that everything will go well. I can only do my best. If I encounter an irreversible situation, I will choose to save my own life first and give up the other party."

Luo Yong smiled, of course he was happy that Chang Wei agreed, and nodded immediately. "Okay, this is what I want to tell you after you agree, just do your best. You are no less important to the organization than he is. As for personal relationship, we are close friends regardless of age, that goes without saying."

Chang Wei saw his serious expression and ruined the atmosphere. "Come on, Lao Luo, stop the emotional drama and tell us what's going on."

Luo Yong laughed and punched Chang Wei in the chest in annoyance. "You kid."

Then he stopped smiling and said seriously, "The target of this protection is a patriotic rocket expert, Mr. G, who came back from the United States and wanted to go through Hong Kong to return to the mainland to serve his motherland.

But due to the threat from the KMT spies, he is currently stranded at the Coconut Grove Hotel in Hong Kong and cannot leave. We need you to escort him back to the mainland safely."

Chang Wei asked in confusion. "Lao Luo, is that true? It's just across the river. Do I need to run so far?"

Luo Yong sighed and explained. "Things may seem simple, but we have already lost two teams, all because our opponent is Gong Shu, the disciple of Zheng Yaoxian, the sixth brother of the Kuomintang Military Intelligence Bureau.

He also set his sights on Mr. G. This guy inherited the true teachings of Zheng Yaoxian and was very powerful. He could be said to be a thorn in the side of the organization.

After Zheng Yaoxian disappeared, he has been secretly serving the Taiwan Intelligence Headquarters.

You must have heard about the Kashmir Princess incident last May, which was planned by this guy.

I have to say this guy is very capable in all aspects. His cover identity in Hong Kong is the general manager of a trading company, and his business is booming. "

Chang Wei was stunned. How come the Sixth Brother of the Military Control Commission showed up? Aren’t there too many hodgepodges in this world?

Although Sixth Brother is admirable, he is not worthy of his family, brothers, and his own beliefs, so he is also despised.

Also, Zheng Yaoxian should have saved himself during this period of time and exposed his identity. Shouldn't Ma Xiaowu be the one to do this? Why did he change his job to me?

A thought flashed through his mind, and he said casually, "Lao Luo, Gong Shu is also a human being, don't encourage others to be ambitious and destroy your own prestige."

Luo Yong smiled and continued, "That's right, that's why I came to you.

You are a martial arts genius. Looking around the world, I estimate that there are few people who can match you in a personal martial arts duel.

Besides, the power behind your connections in Hong Kong is much greater than that of the organization and the palace, so the chances of success will be much higher if you go there."

"Come on, Lao Luo. Don't flatter me. I'm afraid I'll tire myself out." Chang Wei was speechless and asked tentatively. "By the way, am I going alone this time?"

Luo Yong frowned and whispered. "No, I suspect there is a traitor in our organization. This time you did it secretly, and only me and the leader knew about it.

There is another person who is in the open. Lao Chen introduced that this comrade is from the same school as Gong Shu and understands the opponent's fighting style. It is equivalent to supporting you in the open. "

Chang Wei asked quickly. "Then the other party won't know my existence, right?"

He knew that Ma Xiaowu could not outwit Gong Shu, and there was also Han Bing, a hidden shadow who tipped off the enemy. If the other party knew about it, it would not be difficult to find out his information, but it would be much more difficult and dangerous.

As the saying goes, no matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife, let alone a bullet in the dark.

Luo Yong said calmly, "No, you don't know each other.

Although Lao Chen below strongly recommends it, this comrade has been defeated twice by Gong Shu and has not yet officially started his career. I don’t believe he can succeed.”

It was impossible for him to use missile expert Mr. G to ask Ma Xiaowu to prove the possibility that three times the limit would prevail.

Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

It's better for no one to act alone. He still remembers that among the four investigators who were lurking in Hong Kong to assist Ma Xiaowu, the taxi driver with small eyes was a traitor.

Luo Yong changed the subject. "By the way, Awei, let me tell you something personal. The leader has transferred your file to the military department, and the confidentiality level is such that only the army commander or provincial and ministerial officials have access to it.

When you return successfully this time, your rank will probably be reassessed. The leader means that the organization should be generous to the descendants of revolutionary martyrs, especially those as capable as you, and you will probably be awarded a rank. "

Chang Wei curled his lips. Isn't it just that he became a red descendant? If he didn't see that he was valuable, there would be no mercy for him. I don't know what Lai Fu is doing.

"That doesn't matter. Let's talk about the details we should pay attention to this time. Lao Luo, you know that I am a layman in investigation."

Then the two chatted about the details and points to pay attention to.

The code for Chang Wei and Mr. G to meet is also a letter. After reading the letter, Mr. G will unconditionally obey Chang Wei's arrangements. As for Ma Xiaowu's letter, it should be a copy...

The departure time is tonight's train. For the sake of confidentiality, he will stay at Luo Yong's house for the time being. He will help Chang Wei buy a ticket to the south.

When they arrive in G State, Bai Ling will come back and help him, the brother-in-law in public, to handle all the entry procedures and documents in the name of visiting relatives...

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the study.

"Old Zhao, please tell Huairu that I have to go on a long journey for urgent matters." Chang Wei sat down and said to Zhao Zhen.

"Okay, I got it. That's all I have to say." Zhao Zhen knew that Chang Wei had agreed when he saw this.

"Come on, Old Zhao, do you need me to teach you how to say a few words to reassure her?" Chang Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, be careful. I'll go back first." Zhao Zhen stood up and patted Chang Wei on the shoulder.

"Come on, Lao Zhao, I just happened to be going out for a while, let's go together." Luo Yong stood up as well. He wanted to go buy a ticket for Chang Wei himself.
