The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 137 Informing the Plan

Lu Zixuan took two urgent steps and chased after Director Zhou. He grabbed his sleeve tightly, with an anxious light flashing in his eyes, obviously he had something important to reveal.

Director Zhou knew that Lu Zixuan was no ordinary person, so he did not dare to delay and stopped immediately.

He squatted down and listened attentively to Lu Zixuan's secret report, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

But when he looked up and met Lu Zixuan's confident eyes, he decided to take a risk.

Soon, the two disappointed police officers left Yi Zhonghai's home. Director Zhou immediately signaled to the two police officers and took Yi Zhonghai to the front yard.

He whispered to Yi Zhonghai:

“Yi Zhonghai, when you first entered the house, someone reported other cases, so your case was put on hold for the time being.

You are the person in charge of this courtyard. First, take us to understand the basic situation of each household. The more detailed the better."

Although Yi Zhonghai was confused about Director Zhou's intention, he did not dare to ask the reason and could only do as he was told.

They stopped at the door of Yan Bugui's house.

"This is Yan Bugui's family. They are also the first family we enter. There are six people in his family. The eldest son is named Yan Jiecheng..."

Yi Zhonghai introduced the basic situation of each family in turn.

When he reached the gate of Gao's house, he said:

"The family's surname is Gao. I heard that their son had joined the army and there has been no news for ten years.

Two years ago, Gao was so sad that she temporarily returned to her hometown in the countryside.

Director Zhou nodded and said:

"Well, open the door. We have just learned that this family has given you the key for safekeeping."

Yi Zhonghai wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly explained.

"Ah? No, she just told me when she left, but didn't give me the key."

Director Zhou looked at him jokingly.

“That’s not right, several people have seen you enter this room, and this lock doesn’t look like it was locked two years ago, it looks more like two days.

Okay, stop pretending. The food you bought is in this room, right? It doesn’t matter whether you open it or not. Some people pointed out that you are the only one who went in.”

Director Zhou no longer entangled with Yi Zhonghai, and turned around to ask Director Liu from the Street Office, the security department of the steel rolling mill and other people who came with them to witness the situation inside the house, and ordered them to break the lock.

The moment the door was opened, a strong aroma of grain filled the air. Director Zhou looked at everyone with satisfaction and said:

"Everyone smelled it, and everyone knows what's going to happen. Let's go into the house and check it out."

After a while, the person who entered the room to check ran out excitedly to report.

"Director, there is indeed food in there. It is estimated to be about 3,000 kilograms. There are all kinds of food, including white flour, rice, sweet potatoes, and cornmeal."

Director Zhou looked at Yi Zhonghai jokingly.

"Okay, I get it. Everyone has seen it. Yi Zhonghai, do you have any other reasons? Don't tell me you stored so much food just for your family. Haha..."

He ordered methodically:

"Take the people away, and find a cart to load all the food away. Then buy a lock. The police station will keep the key temporarily. Put a seal on the door."

Director Zhou looked at the people in the yard without saying a word. He just led the police station staff away on a cart.

Director Liu stood there with a blank look on his face, and it seemed as if even the air had frozen.

He opened his mouth, but finally just waved his hand and ordered everyone to go home. Tomorrow, they would continue the steelmaking journey.

Old Zheng took advantage of the sudden silence and quietly approached He Yuzhu.

His lips moved slightly and he whispered a few words. Then he led the people from the steel mill and retreated silently.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, Chen Ping's voice suddenly came, breaking the silence in the room.

"Son, what is going on? This is not what I expected.

I thought you would use the deaf woman's material, but you gave Yan Bugui's expensive one instead?"

The four of them filed in, and before they sat down, Chen Ping's doubts began to emerge.

"Change of plans."

Lu Zixuan answered calmly, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"Director Zhou can't deal with the deaf woman, so we need someone else to handle it.

I always carry Deputy Director Zhou's information with me. I originally planned to go to the district government in the next two days and find an opportunity to have Director Wang hand it over to the district mayor.

But today, when I saw Deputy Director Zhou's smug look, I suddenly had an idea. It doesn't seem very satisfying to just let him earn bullets through labor. I would rather see him get beaten up with my own eyes."

There was a hint of joking in his words, as if he had foreseen the misfortune that Deputy Director Zhou was about to encounter.

"That document lists countless crimes committed by Deputy Director Zhou. Ever since you were transferred out of the subdistrict office, I have started investigating him.

He was introduced to the street office by Lao Tong's friend. I never reported him. I just wanted to use this material to blackmail him into doing my bidding.

But now, we have broken up with Lao Tong, so there is no need to keep this material.

Every word of the story I told today is true. That little boy is my most capable person.

It was he who collected all the evidence of Yan Bugui's crimes. When he was looking up school information, he accidentally discovered his father's affairs.

I promised him that I would seek justice for him. Today is the perfect opportunity. "

Lu Zixuan elaborated on his careful consideration on the rectification of Deputy Director Zhou.

"Haven't you always stressed that we should keep a low profile? Isn't today's limelight a bit too much?"

Chen Ping frowned worriedly, afraid that excessive light would bring unnecessary trouble.

"Don't worry, I did it on purpose. Today I suddenly realized that our every move was being monitored. Apparently someone has started to pay attention to us.

If I'm not mistaken, this is aimed at me. In the past two years, I have been looking for a strong backer, and through Director Zhou, I got to know Lao Xiao.

He was very curious about me. It should be the person he arranged. He had no hostility for the time being. As long as I was in danger, someone would come out to help me.

I wanted to expose the affair between Deputy Director Zhou and Yan Bugui first, so that Director Zhou's anger would reach its peak. No matter how big or small Yi Zhonghai's fault was, he would not have a good life.

But I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be so bold. I guess he was preparing for the famine and wanted to take this opportunity to show kindness to the residents of the courtyard house and make some profit from the difference.

Experienced elders can sense the coming of a famine. Lao Xiao and Lao Tong have both talked to me about stockpiling food.”

Lu Zixuan explained his busyness over the past two years and shared his speculations.

Cheng Xiaoman finally had the chance to interrupt and express her doubts.

"Then why are you so eager to get rid of them all at once? You usually play it safe and won't take risks like that."

Lu Zixuan smiled and explained his plan.

“Because I have to concentrate on dealing with Lao Tong next, I’m afraid these little troubles will distract me.

Deputy Director Zhou’s crimes deserve execution.

Yan Bugui should be sentenced to at least three to five years in prison. This old miser is really cruel.

He sold the tables, chairs, stationery, quilts, and food that the big bosses had donated to the school a few years ago, leaving only a few broken tables and chairs, which he then destroyed with a fire.

If Yi Zhonghai actively cooperates, he should be in prison for two years, if not, it will be three years. Even if the food issue fails, there are other issues.

Then there was the deaf old woman. Director Zhou had no other way to deal with someone like her who owned a large amount of gold, jewelry and jade except to confiscate them.

But it’s different for thieves, anything can happen. I will draw several treasure maps of her house and distribute them through Lao Tong’s people.

Try the power of borrowing a knife to kill someone. He used this trick when he first got to know me. I have to return it. "

After listening to this, Chen Ping nodded repeatedly and suddenly thought of Zhao Jun.

"What about Lao Tong's son? How can I make him give up on me and stop pestering me?"

"How about this, uncle, when you see Lao Tong at the neighborhood office tomorrow, tell him in a mysterious way that I'm very angry and have already hired someone to deal with his son.

Lao Tong knows my personality. I will not let go of anyone who messes with my mother. He should be able to stop this kind of entanglement.

You wanted to speak just now. Seeing your confused look, do you remember what you wanted to say? "

Lu Zixuan taught He Yuzhu his solution.

He Yuzhu frowned and thought for a long time before saying:

"I remember now, Xuanxuan, can you please talk about things separately next time? I'm a little confused.

Lao Zheng told me that he had come to help out today, but in the end it was of no use.

He was transferred and asked us to go to his house for dinner tomorrow. He also said that you must be there, as it seems that Dr. Song is in some trouble. "
