Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

In an era of imperfect rule of law, it is easy to enter a village to arrest someone, but it is difficult to take the person out. Especially when going directly to the village to arrest someone without going through the grassroots police station, it is basically unsuccessful.

Obviously Zhou Zhaoming was very experienced. The two of them went directly to the Hongqi Police Station. It was the deputy director Li Xiangdong who received them. When he heard that they were going to Xiwang New Village to arrest someone, Li Xiangdong was stunned. He had just returned from there yesterday and nothing happened. Could it be that this happened today?

"Director Zhou, what happened?"

Li Xiangdong wanted to understand the situation first and asked them to cooperate in arresting people in the village. But you have to let us know the cause of the incident, right? We can't arrest people just because you angrily say you want to arrest people.

Zhou Zhaoming said: "Ji Yunhao's legs were broken by someone, and when he woke up he said it was Liu Guozheng who beat him."

"This...isn't possible?"

Li Xiangdong was stunned and a little worried. Was it that Liu Guozheng was not satisfied with the punishment for Ji Yunhao? Or did Ji Yunhao do something in private to anger Liu Guozheng?

Zhou Zhaoming said angrily, "How can it be impossible? The victim said it himself, how can it be false?"

"Humph!"

Zhou Chaoxian also snorted coldly and glanced at Li Xiangdong.

"Director Zhou, do you know that Ji Yunhao suffered a great loss in the conflict between Ji Yunhao and Liu Guozheng's village?"

In his heart, Li Xiangdong definitely didn't believe that Liu Guozheng could do something like breaking someone's legs, not to mention that it was Ji Yunhao who suffered. Besides, their village was currently engaged in construction and laying electric wires, so they didn't have time to do these things.

"Deputy Director Li, you also know there is a conflict. The motive is very clear. This is retaliation and banditry."

Having said that, Li Xiangdong didn't say anything else. He just followed the procedure. He sent two police officers to the hospital to find out the situation, and then he led the team to Hope Village.

............

"Shh...it hurts...it hurts so much."

"No, where are my legs?"

"Liyun, Liyun, my legs are gone, my legs are gone..."

“Woo… woo… woo…”

Ji Yunhao collapsed. He couldn't accept that he was so badly injured and his wife was not by his side. The ups and downs in his life happened too quickly and he was completely unprepared.

He was the deputy secretary of the Hongqi Commune at the beginning. He was dismissed, reprimanded and demoted before he even took office. But it’s nothing. As long as he gives himself time, there will always be a chance for him to rise again.

But now, everything is over. I have lost my legs and have become a complete disabled person. Not only can I not be a cadre, I can't even find a job now.

Ji Yunhao couldn't help but wonder when his luck started to turn bad?

Lai San?

Lai Ching-te?

It was because of them that I started to have bad luck.

Pit!

Cousin, cousin, you’re not going to pay for killing someone!

The two of them have become a thing of the past and no longer pose a threat to him. Even if Lai San wants to take revenge, he has to wait three years before coming back alive.

Unless it was Pan Bao, Pan Jiu’s conspiracy was exposed?

Am I making the wrong friends, or am I trusting the wrong person?

These two are also scumbags. Don't let me meet them in the future, I will not forgive them.

It’s over, it’s all over, it’s all over now!

Let me go to hell!

Lai San, Lai Qingde, Pan Bao, Pan Jiu, you beasts, it is because of you that I have fallen to this point.

You are so damned!

With his eyes tightly closed, tears flowing uncontrollably, anger in his heart, and a trembling body, Ji Yunhao was on the brink of collapse.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Ji Yunhao, you are such a beast, don't you have any responsibility at all?"

Suddenly a voice came.

"Pan Jiu?"

Ji Yunhao could tell from the voice that it was Pan Jiu.

"Where's Pan Bao?"

Without seeing Pan Bao, Ji Yunhao's guess was becoming a reality. There really was something wrong with these two guys. In other words, his guess was right. It was Liu Guo who was taking revenge on him.

"Brother Leopard is waiting for you. I'll take you to see him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunhao’s eyes blurred and his chest felt cold.

"you.."

His heart was pierced, and Ji Yunhao didn't even have time to utter a complete sentence before his consciousness fell into darkness.

"Bah, garbage."

Pan Jiu pulled out the dagger, wiped the blood off the dagger on the quilt, and left quickly.

..................

"Deputy Director Li, what's going on today?"

Li Xiangdong led his men to Hope New Village and found Liu Guozheng fishing by the fish pond. After Master Yuan had moved back, several people were holding a fishing competition in the fish pond.

"Liu Guozheng?"

Without waiting for Li Xiangdong to speak, Zhou Zhaoming asked directly.

"you are?"

Seeing the angry look of the visitor, Liu Guozheng was a little confused. He didn't even know this person, let alone offend him, so why did he have such an expression?

"Catch him."

After confirming the identity, Zhou Zhaoming shouted angrily.

I am really confused now, what is going on?

"Li Xiangdong, why don't you take action?"

Zhou Zhaoming is very angry now. What happened to Li Xiangdong today? Not only did he procrastinate in doing things, but now he even refuses to listen to orders.

"Deputy Director Zhou, this is not in accordance with procedure."

Li Xiangdong was also angry. Is this how you handle cases? You came in without saying anything and arrested people without knowing anything about the situation. If you arrested the right person, it would be fine. But if you arrested the wrong person, who would be held responsible?

"Li Xiangdong, I didn't ask you to explain the procedure. I understand the procedure better than you do. My words are the procedure."

Zhou Chaoming could no longer suppress his anger. In front of so many people, Li Xiangdong actually offended him.

"Li Xiangdong, let me ask you now, do you obey my orders?"

"Deputy Director Zhou, I will certainly obey orders, but I will not obey wrong orders."

"Okay, Li Xiangdong, from now on, you are dismissed"

"I wouldn't have quit even if you didn't exempt me. If the people above me were all people like you, I'd rather go farming."

Li Xiangdong's temper came out and he just quit.

Everyone was stunned. Before the matter was fully understood, a deputy director was arrested.

Zhou Chaoxian, who had been silent, also frowned. This was a little beyond his expectations. He didn't expect Li Xiangdong to be so tough, or even stunned.

Liu Guozheng asked in confusion: "I say, can you tell me what is going on now?"

"Liu Guozheng, are you still pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth?"

"Now all you have to do is cooperate and confess what you have done, which can also reduce your punishment."

Zhou Zhaoming didn't say anything from beginning to end.

"Deputy Director Zhou, right? You keep repeating these two sentences. Are you here to show off your power?"

Liu Guozheng was also angry. He had been busy for a few days and wanted to have a good rest, but troubles continued to arise.

Zhou Zhaoming: "Liu Guozheng, pay attention to your attitude. Don't you know what you have done?"

Zhou Chaoxian, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhou Chaoming with some dissatisfaction, and was also somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. What was the difference between this and the kind of torture that only made people confess, but did not ask any questions?

"Comrade Liu Guozheng, this is what happened."

Zhou Chaoxian also figured it out on the way here. He was blinded by anger and easily believed Ji Yunhao's words. Now that it has come to this, he is really afraid that things will get out of control in the end, and he will not end up well.

Zhou Chao first explained the cause and effect.

Liu Guozheng then realized that this was for Ji Yunhao.

Then just ask and investigate. I have never been out of my village. Today, I helped Master Yuan move, and it was Erlang and the others who went there.

Several police officers went to investigate separately.

Everyone from Shanghe Village at the construction site, Nan Yi, and Master Yuan all said that Liu Guozheng had been staying in the village and had not gone out.

Zhou Zhaoming had to admit that he seemed to have made a mistake and was a bit too hasty.

"Deputy Director Zhou, please apologize?"

Liu Guozheng looked at Zhou Chaomingdao indifferently.

"Apologize? What's there to apologize for? This only proves that you, Liu Guozheng, didn't do it yourself. I still suspect that you hired someone to do it."

What a joke, legitimate suspicion, do you need to apologize? Zhou Zhaoming would not apologize easily.

"Deputy Director Zhou, your suspicions and guesses are not acceptable. Everything must be based on evidence. In the absence of any clues, what is the difference between your blind guesses and false accusations?"

"I'm just asking you to apologize now, Deputy Director Zhou, do you still want me to sue you for defamation?"

"If you insist, then I will satisfy your request. Don't think you are a high-ranking official in this capital city."

"I still don't believe it. I can't find any reason to explain it."

Just based on Zhou Chaoming's attitude towards work, he must apologize today.

“Beep…beep…beep…”

Just as they were in a stalemate, sirens sounded.

"Director Zhou, Deputy Director Li, Ji Yunhao was killed."

The police who went to the hospital reported it and then briefly explained the situation.

Zhou Chaoxian and Zhou Chaoming looked at each other.

Zhou Zhaoming was completely stunned. It seemed that he was really wrong.

Zhou Chaoxian was different. He was secretly delighted. Great! He died a good death! He was just worrying about how to get his daughter away from that jerk. In the end, that jerk was killed. God has eyes. God has eyes! If it wasn't for the wrong place, he would have kowtowed to God.

"Let's go to the hospital."

Zhou Zhaoming turned and left.

"Apologize, or you won't be able to leave today."

Erlang and his men stopped Zhou Zhaoming, and Li Dabao put his hands on his waist again. Liu Guozheng was so scared that he grabbed Li Dabao, fearing that Li Dabao would take out the gun again. This thing only needs to be used once, and it must not be used a second time.

"Comrade Liu Guozheng, I'm sorry, we made a mistake in our work, please forgive us."

Zhou Chaoxian also understood that if he didn't apologize today, he really couldn't get away. His cousin, who was usually very smart, didn't know what was wrong today and couldn't see the situation clearly. He could only apologize on behalf of Zhou Chaoming.

Seeing that someone had apologized, Erleng and the others naturally would not stop them from leaving.

Li Xiangdong also left with them. Although he said angry words, he still had to do his work.

Besides, if you want to remove a deputy director, you need to follow procedures. You cannot remove a deputy director at will just because you have a high rank.

But if what happened today gets out, Li Xiangdong's official career will be over. No one wants someone who doesn't obey orders. It's not about right or wrong.

After all this trouble, I am no longer in the mood to go fishing.

Liu Guozheng returned to the tree and continued to lie down, squinting his eyes and communicating with his clone in his mind. (After using the strengthening capsule, his mental power was strengthened, and he could still communicate mentally under the tree.)

Just let the clone send someone out to investigate the brothers Zhou Chaoxian and Zhou Chaoming. I hope their butts are clean enough, otherwise don't blame Liu Guozheng for bringing them down.

Nan Yi and Master Yuan were discussing today's dinner.

Master Yuan is also putting all his effort into it. Today is his first battle, and whether he can stand his ground depends on this meal.

In Master Yuan’s opinion, Liu Guozheng chose to keep him not because of his cooking skills, but because of Nan Yi’s face.

I must perform well, not only for myself, but also for Nan Yi.

After looking at the ingredients, I discussed a few dishes with Nan Yi: shredded potatoes, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, shredded pork with fish flavor, candied sweet potato, steamed fish, stewed chicken soup, egg pancakes, and of course peanuts, which are essential for drinking.

Nan Yi was not idle either. After helping to prepare the dishes, he went to the fire next to him to stew the meat. This was something Nan Yi had to do every time he came. This time, Liu Guozheng prepared beef offal. After eating mutton and chicken offal for several days, he still had to change his taste from time to time.

Who is the most popular person in Hope New Village? It must be Nan Yi.

Every time he cooked meat, there would be a group of children around, waiting for Nan Yi to feed them.

It’s not that these children have no meat to eat in Hope Village. I guess it tastes better when they sit around the stove and are fed, and there’s a more family atmosphere.

What’s more important is that Nan Yi is still enjoying it and doesn’t show any impatience at all.

However, there is one exception, and that is Liu Xiaolong.

He only went to watch when Nan Yi was cooking.

So today, let’s gather around Chef Yuan and watch him cook.

"Why don't you go to Master Nan?"

"Watch you cook."

"Like cooking?"

"like."

"why?"

"I can eat enough and have delicious food."

"Forehead..."

Master Yuan was stunned. The reason was very simple.

"Can I learn to cook from you?"

Longing eyes, longing tone.

From this young face, Master Yuan seemed to see his past self.

I can't remember why I learned to cook.

Is it for food?

Still like it?

Maybe these are not important. What is important is that there are people willing to teach and you are willing to learn.

Seeing that Master Yuan didn't respond for a long time, Liu Xiaolong's face darkened.

"Okay, I'll teach you when I have time."

Perhaps because he didn't want to disappoint Liu Xiaolong, or perhaps because he wanted to pass on his skills, Master Yuan agreed.

"Really?"

"real."

"Really?"

"real."

"Really?"

"real."

Double-check, double-affirm.

Liu Xiaolong fell to his knees, calling out "Master".

Master Yuan hurriedly pulled Liu Xiaolong up and said, "I don't accept apprentices."

Liu Xiaolong was confused. Didn't they say that one must become a disciple if one wants to learn something from others? How could one learn without a master?

Seeing Liu Xiaolong's puzzled expression, Master Yuan explained: "I don't accept disciples because I think my strength is limited and I am not qualified to be a master."

“We can learn from each other and make progress together.”

Liu Xiaolong didn't understand what was said. He didn't know anything, so how could he learn from others? What could he learn from?

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will understand later."

"I'll give you one night to think about it. Come to me tomorrow when you've made up your mind."

"By the way, what's your name, kid?"

I was so busy talking that I still don’t know Xiaolong’s name.

"Liu Xiaolong."

Liu Xiaolong replied loudly. In his opinion, the adults asking his name was a sign of approval, and in a sense he was also an "adult".

Yuan Fengshan said seriously: "My name is Yuan Fengshan. You can call me Master Yuan or Grandpa Yuan."

"Master Yuan."

Without hesitation, Liu Xiaolong directly chose to call Master Yuan.

This was really unexpected. Yuan Fengshan thought Liu Xiaolong would choose the latter. Perhaps this is the purest part of a child's heart. Once he has decided on a teacher to learn from, he will still follow his heart even if the teacher says he will not accept any more disciples.

If you say you want to teach him how to cook, he will acknowledge you as his master.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay."

"Xiaolong, serve the food."

During the conversation, Chef Yuan did not stop working as dishes were served on the table.

"It's time to eat!"

This is Liu Guozheng's favorite scene.

Because it is full of hope.
