Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

The door of the department store opened and among the people who came out, there were several people Liu Guozheng knew, including Jiang Zhengyi, Zhang Qiang, Li Zheng and Lao Wu from the Red Star Police Station.

"Liu Guozheng?"

"Director Jiang, nice to meet you."

Liu Guozheng tried hard to hold back his laughter. Jiang Zhengyi and Zhang Qiang all had injuries on their faces. The worst injured was Jiang Zhengyi, who had black circles under his eyes. No one knew who had hit him.

"Shame on you, shame on you"

Jiang Zhengyi's old face turned red.

"All of you have only superficial injuries. You should hold on for a while. Keep guard here. Everyone coming out of the department store must register and wait for further inspection. After registration, ordinary people can leave first. No one is allowed to stay here. All leaders of various departments of the department store are detained."

"Yes."

Jiang Zhengyi saluted subconsciously.

"I am Zhang Shili, deputy director of the Workers' Joint Committee. Who gave you the right to detain us?"

At any time, there will always be people who think they are special and report their positions and names first.

"Someone, drag him out and beat him up until he wakes up."

Two warriors, as ferocious as wolves and tigers, stepped forward and dragged Zhang Shili out of the crowd.

"You are committing a crime. I am going to sue you, Chief Jiang, Chief Jiang. You are the people's police. You cannot watch these thugs beat people up."

Some people who get beaten are not worthy of sympathy. Zhang Shili is one of such people. Even after he was dragged out, he still kept calling people "soldier thugs". If you don't get beaten, who will?

"Comrade Liu Guozheng, this, this is not good, right?"

Jiang Zhengyi was also shocked. He didn't expect that those soldiers would actually listen to Liu Guozheng's orders and act as domineeringly as the patrolmen and warlords in the old society.

"Captain Jiang, I'm in command here. All you have to do is obey my orders."

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what Liu Guozheng's current identity was, since he could mobilize soldiers, his rank should be not low, and Jiang Zhengyi didn't dare to say anything else.

Zhang Shili's howling continued, and the people trapped in the department store suddenly quieted down and obediently lined up to register.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, I'm back."

Xu Damao also completed the mission and returned safely. He was so excited today. He felt very happy that he could save the wounded and help those in need.

"Da Mao, you've worked hard. How are you?"

"It was a close call. If it was two minutes later, we would have missed the best time for rescue."

"That's good."

This was the best news today. Liu Guozheng was relieved. The soldiers next to him had tears in their eyes and saluted Liu Guozheng with gratitude. If Liu Guozheng had not acted decisively, they would have lost two good brothers today.

"Brother Zheng, what else can I do?"

Xu Damao rubbed his hands and looked at Liu Guozheng expectantly. After this experience, he seemed to like this feeling. It was a good feeling to do his part in times of crisis.

"Go back to the office and bring back a few boxes of ham and braised beef. Bring pots and firewood so that the soldiers can have some hot water."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

Xu Damao gave an unstandard salute and drove away.

Standing at the door of the department store, watching quietly, enjoying this moment of quietness.

The wind stopped, I don’t know when it stopped, perhaps it was frightened by the wailing of those people.

The snow was still falling, fluttering everywhere, with no sign of stopping. The clouds in the sky were still low and thick, as if brewing an even bigger snowstorm.

"Leader, leader, I'm calm. I'm calm."

The moment of silence was interrupted by Zhang Shili.

Looking at Zhang Shili expressionlessly, Liu Guozheng asked coldly: "Zhang Shili, tell me what happened."

"Leader, this is a long story."

"How about you calm down?"

"No, no, no, leader, leader, let me make it short, this is what happened."

Zhang Shili didn't dare to be "calm" anymore. It felt unpleasant to be "calm".

It turned out that Zhang Zhanling, the director of the Workers' Liaison Committee, heard that the Riot Committee had a lock-picking expert. Thinking that there were many unopened safes in their secret warehouse, he asked Hao Xinren of the Riot Committee to borrow someone.

Things were going smoothly, the master was indeed a master.

All the safes were quickly opened, and only some land deeds, ancient books, ancient paintings and other things were found. They were neither good nor bad.

After the lock-picking expert left, Zhang Zhanling found a piece of paper in the last safe. It was a list of items in the safe.

There were two small yellow croakers recorded in the list, but they were not among the things found.

Zhang Zhanling suspected that the locksmith had stolen it.

The small yellow croaker was taken away right under his nose. Zhang Zhanling was very angry and couldn't swallow it, so he took two people to the Riot Committee to find Hao Xinren.

This time, the person never came back, and the people of the riot committee started to gather people like crazy to besiege the department store. The people of the staff committee were caught off guard and had to hide in the department store.

As for where Zhang Zhanling is now and what happened at that time, no one knows.

Everything happened suddenly.

No one had expected that two small yellow croakers whose existence was unknown would be the fuse of this incident.

How much are two small yellow croakers worth?

In the 1960s, the price of gold was only about three or four yuan per gram, right?

Two small yellow croakers weigh 62.5 grams, and at four yuan per gram, that's 250 yuan.

Just because of these two small yellow croakers whose existence is unknown, the current situation has been caused. The department store has been besieged, traffic has been cut off, and shops have been closed. It is estimated that the losses in just one day must be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, right?

Fortunately, Xu Damao called for help and Liu Guozheng was forced to take action, otherwise it is unknown to what extent the two sides would have fought.

Retracting his thoughts, Liu Guozheng asked curiously: "What is the name of your locksmith expert?"

"It seems his last name is Bang."

"Zhang Shili, are you not calm enough? Is there anyone with the last name Bang?"

"Leader, maybe there is. Don't we have a lot of strange surnames in Xia country? There are surnames like "shit", "death", and "urine".

"That's right. Compared with these three surnames, the surname Bang is much cleaner."

Liu Guozheng didn't think much about it. You know, there are more than 20,000 surnames in Xia Kingdom, so it's not surprising that there are some strange surnames.

"Leader, can I go now?"

"Leave? What good things are you thinking? Except for ordinary people, no one else can leave."

"I am not a leader, I am just an ordinary person."

"It's not easy for you to become the deputy director of the so-called Staff Liaison Committee."

"I..this.."

Zhang Shili was so anxious that he slapped himself, blaming himself for speaking too quickly.
