Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Zhou Jin was thinking in his mind how to deal with Yi Zhonghai in order to maximize the benefits.

As for Yi Zhonghai, the main culprit of the courtyard, Zhou Jin didn't want to simply send him in so easily, as that would be meaningless.

Since he wants to die with me, I must make Yi Zhonghai lose everything and then send him to jail. As for whether he will eat peanuts or do decades of forced labor, that depends on his fate.

Zhou Jin quickly made an action plan against Yi Zhonghai.

First of all, let Long Yi continue his action. Since you, Yi Zhonghai, are willing to accept my revenge and are unwilling to kneel down and apologize, I must satisfy you, otherwise everyone will remember that I am not trustworthy.

At the same time, inform Long Er and others to wait for Yi Zhonghai outside the courtyard early tomorrow morning and find a way to send him to the hospital. He should stay in the hospital for at least ten days to half a month.

Then let Long Er and the other three people investigate Yi Zhonghai in their spare time. Zhou Jin believed that with Yi Zhonghai's character, it was impossible that he had only done one bad thing, which was to deprive He Yushui of his livelihood.

Since the goal is to get rid of Yi Zhonghai, the more evidence we have, the better.

He could also use this time to take Yu Shui to find He Daqing to get evidence, as long as he got evidence that Yi Zhonghai withheld He Yu Shui's living expenses.

When this matter is exposed, if Yi Zhonghai has no money to compensate He Yushui, he will have to use his house to pay off the debt. It just so happens that Yi Zhonghai's house is also a private property.

In this case, even if Yi Zhonghai was lucky enough not to be shot and successfully survived in prison, he would still have nothing when he was released from prison decades later.

Zhou Jin quickly told Long Yi and the others all his thoughts and ordered them to strictly follow his requirements.

At this time, Zhou Jin finally remembered to clean up the things in Yi Zhonghai's house and the deaf old lady's house.

Zhou Jin saw Yi Zhonghai's stolen items list this morning and found out that there was more than 8,000 yuan and other bills.

But after Zhou Jin finished cleaning up, he took a look and realized that, wow, this Yi Zhonghai was really rich, but he had to admit that this person was really stingy and always thought about spending other people's money on everything.

There were more than 2,300 yuan in cash in Yi Zhonghai's home, and the 6,500 yuan in three passbooks had all been withdrawn by Long Yi and his friends early this morning.

In order to withdraw the money from the three passbooks as soon as possible, Long Yi, Long Er and Long San acted together. They all disguised themselves as Yi Zhonghai, and then each took a passbook and went to the three farthest banks in the city to withdraw money.

As for the household registration book, this was easy to deal with. After Long Yi withdrew the money, he put the money and the household registration book back into the space. Then Long Er took out the household registration book from the space and went into the bank to withdraw money. In this way, the three of them took all the money away within half an hour.

In the eyes of the bank staff, the person came to withdraw money with his passbook and household registration certificate, and apart from the large amount, there was nothing else that could attract other people's attention.

So this operation was relatively perfect. Moreover, in this way, Yi Zhonghai might be suspected by the police station. After all, he went to the bank to withdraw all the money, and then reported the case, saying that all the money in his home was stolen.

From this perspective, everything seems unreasonable, but that’s a story for later. Let’s continue to check out Yi Zhonghai’s assets.

In addition to cash, Yi Zhonghai's home also had 120 kilograms of fine grains, 300 kilograms of coarse grains, 30 kilograms of meat coupons, 50 feet of cloth coupons, and nearly 70 other bills of various types.

Of course, the things that Zhou Jin stole from Yi Zhonghai's house must be more than these. These were all reported by Yi Zhonghai to the police, and some of them he did not dare to report.

Zhou Jin picked out five large yellow croakers, thirty small yellow croakers, more than a hundred Yuan Datou coins and a jade bracelet from the pile of things.

Zhou Jin had long known that Yi Zhonghai was no ordinary person, but he did not expect that he had left so much gold. But now it is all his.

Zhou Jin counted out all the valuables in Yi Zhonghai's house separately, and then piled up the broken furniture, clothes, cotton wool and coarse grains on the side, and notified Long Er to send this pile of things to the refugees' gathering place farthest from the courtyard in a few days and distribute them to those refugees.

Next, we started to count the money and grain of the old deaf man’s family.

Zhou Jin originally thought that Yi Zhonghai's family was amazing, but after seeing the old deaf man's family, he realized what it meant to be a witch compared to a witch.

The old deaf woman didn't have much cash at home. After all, she had no job, and she relied on the monthly subsidy from the street office and the money she earned from reselling food coupons, a total of 375 yuan.

But there were so many other things that they filled two large boxes. One of the boxes was filled with calligraphy and paintings on the top, and gold bars on the bottom.

Zhou Jin first took out all the calligraphy and paintings and opened them one by one. Wow, they were all works by famous ancient painters.

There are "Double the Silk" from "Tang Palace Ladies" by Zhang Xuan and Zhou Fang, "Useless Teacher" from the latter part of Huang Gongwang's "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "Zhu Yun Breaking the Fence" and "All Nations in Xianning" by Wu Daozi, as well as many works by other painters, a total of thirty-four paintings.

If you pick out any painting here and put it in the future, it would start at eight digits, which means you would make a lot of money.

Zhou Jin quickly put all the calligraphy and paintings away for safekeeping, then estimated the gold bars in the box with his hands, and they weighed about twenty kilograms in total.

Then Zhou Jin opened another box, which was full of various porcelains, jadeite, agate, and Hetian jade. Zhou Jin only took a quick look and found that they were all good things. At least they were government supplies, and some of them were definitely royal supplies.

There are also several jewelry boxes filled with various kinds of gold jewelry, jade bracelets, pearl necklaces, etc. They are in good condition, exquisitely shaped, and of high quality. They are all fine products.

With so many things, Zhou Jin couldn't help but doubt the identity of the deaf old lady. Logically speaking, she was a five-guarantee household, which means she had no children, no job income, and was completely dependent on the state for support. How could she have so many treasures?

At this time, Zhou Jin remembered that he had heard from others before that this deaf old lady was the first person to live in the courtyard, but no one knew exactly when she moved in.

In other words, the deaf old lady might have lived here all her life. You should know that in the Qing Dynasty, only officials of the second rank or above could live in this courtyard.

Even during the Republic of China period, not ordinary people could live there. At least only warlords or bald senior generals were qualified to live there.

The deaf old lady should have lived here all the time, so her identity is very obvious. With her identity and background, she can be rated as a five-guarantee household. It seems that the story behind this is very exciting.

As far as Zhou Jin knows, the deaf old lady's network of contacts includes Director Yang and Deputy Director Tang of the Street Office. Of course, there must be more than just these two people, otherwise it would be impossible to restore Yi Zhonghai's uncle. There must be someone of a higher rank.

Of course, this is not something Zhou Jin needs to consider now. It is very easy to deal with the deaf old lady. Her identity is a fatal flaw. With just one letter of complaint, she will be overwhelmed.

And by then, I can do something in the old deaf woman's house and make her disappear from this world.

The most important thing for Zhou Jin now is to get rid of Yi Zhonghai first, as Yi Zhonghai poses too great a threat to him.

Moreover, getting rid of Yi Zhonghai in front of the deaf old lady would be a blow to the old deaf man. By then, the deaf old lady would first lose her son, and then she would die too. Wouldn't that be faster?

At this moment, at Yi Zhonghai's house, the two had just fallen asleep when, with a "bang", the glass of his house was smashed again.

This made Yi Zhonghai very angry, and he immediately opened the door to check, but the yard was very quiet and there was no movement. This made Yi Zhonghai very helpless. He knew that it was Zhou Jin's doing, but he had no evidence.

If I go to Zhou Jin's house again now, I will probably get beaten up, but if I have glass smashed like this all night long, I will probably get a nervous breakdown.

This really left Yi Zhonghai helpless. If he went to Zhou Jin's house, he would have no evidence and might be beaten. If he didn't go, he would have to endure it all. With Yi Zhonghai's personality, it was difficult for him to swallow his anger.

So Yi Zhonghai decided not to sleep anymore. He must catch the person who broke the glass.

But Yi Zhonghai was destined to be disappointed. After Zhou Jin was informed that Long Yi smashed the glass for the second time, he asked him to go back and rest. After all, three times the amount would not happen. With Yi Zhonghai's character, he would definitely hold on to his end in order to catch the person who smashed the glass.

Besides, it’s getting late. If I wait any longer, I’ll be in trouble if I’m seen by people who wake up early.

Long Yi went back to rest, but Yi Zhonghai sat on the stool dryly, staring at his own glass all night. His face was haggard, his eyes were red, and his expression was listless.

This made the aunt very distressed, so she quickly asked Yi Zhonghai to go back to bed and get some sleep. She went to Sha Zhu's house and asked him to ask for leave for Yi Zhonghai, and then she went home to make breakfast.

Zhou Jin seemed to be unaffected. After breakfast, he sent Zhou Xin to school. On the way, he met Xu Damao and greeted him.

The deaf old lady got up very early today. It’s not that she didn’t want to sleep, but mainly because she had something on her mind and couldn’t sleep.

She heard everything that happened last night clearly. She knew that it was obviously Yi Zhonghai's problem, so even if she went out at that time, she would not be able to change anything. Instead, it would implicate herself, so she did not go out last night.

The deaf old lady slowly calmed down and recalled what had happened between her and Yi Zhonghai over the years. The two of them had cooperated very happily. You were responsible for taking care of me in my old age, and I was responsible for staying at the rear for you and providing you with connections.

It was because of their perfect cooperation that they were able to turn the courtyard into their own private land and become local tyrants in the entire courtyard. As long as someone disobeyed their discipline, they would find a way to drive them out.

But now he has begun to be disappointed with Yi Zhonghai. In the past, Yi Zhonghai was very cunning, calm and ruthless, but now he has become a mad dog who only knows how to bite people.

Although all these changes were caused by Zhou Jin, according to the deaf old lady's understanding, the only conflict between Yi Zhonghai and Zhou Jin was the issue of the Jia family occupying Zhou Jin's house. All other issues were caused by Yi Zhonghai himself.

It is true that at the beginning Yi Zhonghai still wanted to use the old tricks to deal with Zhou Jin. After all, in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he didn't take Zhou Jin, a young boy, seriously at all.

However, the two men clashed many times later, but the only one who was hurt was Yi Zhonghai. Not only did he lose money and lose face, he also slowly lost his prestige in the courtyard, and finally even lost his position as the eldest master.

During this period, I have advised Yi Zhonghai many times to slow down for a while. This Zhou Jin is not an ordinary person. I must find enough capital before taking action.

Yi Zhonghai agreed to this at that time, otherwise the deaf old lady would not have wasted her own connections and favors to help Yi Zhonghai regain his position as the eldest master.

But what the deaf old lady didn't expect was that Yi Zhonghai had been living a smooth life in the courtyard in the past few years, and his words were law. Suddenly, a young boy came and made him look miserable.

How could Yi Zhonghai, a narrow-minded man with a strong desire for control and revenge, endure this? Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai only kept his head down and lay dormant for half a year before he could no longer resist and took action against Zhou Jin.

The result is obvious. Yi Zhonghai was defeated again.

From this time on, the deaf old lady began to feel a little disappointed with Yi Zhonghai, but after all, the two families had been together for many years, and Yi Zhonghai had raised her for so many years, so there was affection between them.

Therefore, I must analyze this matter carefully with Yi Zhonghai. This time I must make him understand the key and understand what is most important to him now.

Moreover, as long as Yi Zhonghai returns to his original state, he will definitely be reliable. After all, the two of them have always cooperated very happily before, and Yi Zhonghai is also capable.

All in all, there was no deep hatred between Yi Zhonghai and Zhou Jin's families, and there was not even any direct conflict. It was all caused by the Jia family.

And based on the deaf old lady's observation of Zhou Jin, she found that although Zhou Jin was young, he was deep-minded, decisive and experienced in doing things, and he was methodical. He was also well-educated, capable, and had a good background.

Also, he seemed unwilling to care about the people in the courtyard, nor did he want to take care of the affairs of the courtyard. He always wanted to live his own life.

But once Zhou Jin was really angered, with his abilities and means, his group of people were really no match for him. In terms of identity, even he was not as good as him. In terms of status, he was a regular section-level official and a state cadre. In terms of background, he only had Director Yang and Deputy Director Tang of the Street Office, but Zhou Jin had a lot of old leaders and comrades in arms in the army, and he also had a good relationship with Director Wang.

The deaf old lady really understood this point. If these people didn't cause trouble for Zhou Jin, Zhou Jin would not be willing to waste time on them. But if they really provoked him, then he would have no chance of getting away with it.
