The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 136 Roll Call

Lu Zixuan did not give Deputy Director Zhou a chance to explain himself. He turned around and faced everyone with a smile.

"Let me tell you a story. In a large compound not far from us, there lived a family of four who moved from the countryside 55 years ago.

Because of the war, my father, the pillar of the family, lost both his eyes and an arm.

In order to provide this injured warrior with convenient living conditions, the government provides better medical services.

We specially approved the family of four to move their household registration from a remote rural area to our jurisdiction, and we will provide a certain amount of living allowance every month until the two children reach the age of 18.

Because my father had eyesight problems, he asked my mother to go to the street office to handle the house allocation procedures.

Such a hero should have been allocated a house with better conditions, but because the mother was ignorant, she did not pay the house repair costs as requested by Deputy Director Zhou.

The only place he was assigned was a house in a large compound with 60 households and a leaky roof.

In order not to add burden to the government, the father did not raise any objections and spent his own money to renovate the house.

When the mother once again approached Deputy Director Zhou to apply for the living allowance, Deputy Director Zhou again refused to process it on the grounds that the procedures were not in compliance.

The mother had no other options but to find the district government staff who had brought them into the city. Accompanied by the staff, she completed the procedures for collecting the baby.

When the whole family thought they could live a good life in the city, the blind father's condition suddenly worsened and he closed his eyes before he could get to the hospital.

After hearing about this, Deputy Director Zhou immediately stopped the father’s retirement allowance, the only source of income for the family of three.

The mother thought that her husband had died and the government would no longer provide subsidies, so she stopped worrying about it and never went to collect the money.

In an accident some time ago, the youngest son in the family learned from his father's comrades-in-arms that his father's subsidies had been disbursed, and the actual recipient was the Deputy Director Zhou standing in front of us, who has a tall image, is upright and incorruptible, and is good at fighting for the masses.

Deputy Director Zhou, do you want to know what the three of them have been eating in the past two years? Have they ever eaten trampled vegetable leaves? Have they ever seen the cheapest coarse grains? "

After Lu Zixuan finished speaking in tears, the first person who couldn't stand it was Director Zhou. He clenched his fist and hit Deputy Director Zhou on the head.

"Get lost, you bastard, you are worse than an animal. Even if I quit today, I will beat you to death..."

The police officer who followed seemed to be frightened. It was not until he saw blood gushing out of the corners of Deputy Director Zhou's eyes, mouth, and nostrils that he reacted and immediately pulled Director Zhou away.

"Two people, take this bastard away, take the information from Director Liu, and check it for me one by one."

Director Zhou calmed down, wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief and gave instructions.

"Where is the guy from the steel mill? How was the inspection? If he was found guilty of theft, have the security department take him away."

Director Zhou suddenly remembered the witness and asked hurriedly.

A police officer immediately stepped forward to answer.

"I just checked in the toilet and found that the inside of both thighs were bruised from being rubbed.

In addition, according to his account, it is common to smuggle waste parts in this way and sell them to scrap yards, and many people do this.”

Director Zhou stopped talking and waved his hand to signal for Deputy Director Zhou to be taken away. The security personnel also took the man with his legs crossed away.

"Is there any other evidence that I colluded with the Security Department to steal factory assets?"

Chen Ping looked around and saw that no one was talking, so she continued:

"Okay, then this matter is over. Director Zhou, I have a document here, please take a look."

Chen Ping reached out to Lu Zixuan for the information and handed it to Director Zhou without even looking at it.

Director Zhou gritted his teeth and quickly flipped through two pages. His expression became visibly ugly, and he jumped directly to the last page.

"Who's Yan Bugui? Come out."

Yan Bugui stood up, not knowing what was going on, and looked at Director Zhou in confusion.

"What happened to the fire in the school a while ago? Please tell me in detail."

Chen Ping looked at Lu Zixuan in surprise, bent down and whispered in his ear:

"I took the wrong one? How could Yan Bugui be involved?"

Lu Zixuan pointed at Yan Bugui, meaning to listen first.

Yan Bugui didn't have much emotion, he pushed his glasses and said:

"It was a small warehouse for storing things. I don't know why there was a fire, and some wooden items such as spare desks were burned. That's all."

"Really? Then why didn't we see any ashes from the burning grain?

Have you seen the scrap metal donated by students? Have you seen the ashes from the old books, newspapers and other paper materials that the school has accumulated over the years?

The losses reported by the school were that 22 sets of new desks and chairs and more than 70 sets of old desks and chairs were burned, but were there 30 sets of ashes?

You really can imagine instigating a 9-year-old child to be your liaison between criminals.

That’s pretty impressive. He’s been bribing the principal since before liberation, and now he wants to use him again?

Yan Bugui, these two pieces of paper record your criminal behavior over the past decade.

From big things like bribing leaders and selling off assets to small things like extorting a piece of cloth, you really use your ability to take advantage of both big and small things to the fullest.

Come on, two people, take it away. I am curious about how people who are so good at taking advantage of their profession will do when they are hitting stones. "

Director Zhou did not ask Yan Bugui to explain, but took him away directly, then turned to Chen Ping and said:

"Seeing how surprised you were just now, this guy must have taken the wrong one. If anyone else has evidence, bring it here.

I didn't expect that you two are much more powerful than our police station."

Chen Ping quickly shook her head in response.

"There is no more information. The only thing left is an oral statement. Director Zhou needs to check the evidence himself. Do you want to listen?"

Director Zhou smiled calmly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"You've said it all. What's the point of me not listening? Go ahead. I want to know if there's anything else shocking going on."

"In our courtyard, there is a steward named Yi Zhonghai, who has an incomprehensible courage. He actually ignored the government's regulations and privately purchased grain circulated outside the grain station.

His actions were undoubtedly an intentional sabotage of the planned economy, and he took advantage of the country's food shortage to hoard a large amount of food.

This makes me wonder if he is intentionally driving up prices and creating panic among the people.”

Chen Ping told the truth and expressed her doubts without reservation.

Yi Zhonghai was thinking deeply about how to save Yan Bugui and whether the rescue operation was worthwhile, but he was suddenly called out unexpectedly, which made him a little confused for a moment.

After listening to Chen Ping's statement, he immediately felt dizzy and began to wonder if Chen Ping had been secretly following him, otherwise how could she know such a private matter.

But this was not the time to dwell on these issues, so he immediately explained.

“It’s like this. Some time ago, the grains my family bought from the grain station were of poor quality and difficult to eat, so I went to ask my friends about other grain sellers.

I did buy some, but not in such large quantities that it wouldn’t disrupt any plans. I just ate them myself. If you don’t believe me, you can come to my house and check.”

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's firm words, Director Zhou looked at Chen Ping uncertainly, and seeing that she also had a confident look on her face, he waved his hand and two police officers entered Yi Zhonghai's home.
