Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 687: Wonderful New Year
Qi Dasheng laughed and waved his hand. The soldiers received the order and went to search near the dry toilet. Not long after, they really found a secret room. The secret room was at the back of Yu Huairen's house, next to the septic tank of the dry toilet. There was a lot of space inside. Three radio stations were found, as well as guns, explosives, and gold bars. More importantly, there were some documents, some of which were marked confidential.

After everything was moved cleanly, Qi Dasheng waved his hand and said, "Closing down."

Just as Wang Laoqi was about to slip away, Qi Dasheng said to Wang Hu and Wang Laoqi, "You two come with me."

The group went directly to a secret large courtyard under the Ministry of Public Security.

Qi Dasheng went to report to Uncle Li. After listening to Qi Dasheng's narration, Uncle Li widened his eyes with a look of disbelief and said, "They were caught just like that. It's unbelievable. A prostitute wiped out this senior team. Hahahaha, no, I have to meet this Wang Laoqi."

"I also think that Wang Laoqi is really a talented person. He can't escape the credit this time." Qi Dasheng said.

"Okay, go and investigate this matter, and then let this Wang Laoqi come to see me." Uncle Li said.

Qi Dasheng stood at attention, saluted, said, "Yes," then turned around and left the office.

After a while, Wang Laoqi was brought in. When he heard that he was going to meet the leader, he was scared and didn't know where to put his hands.

A voice called out at the door, "Report!" and a voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Wang Laoqi walked into Uncle Li's office. Uncle Li stood up and greeted him with a smile, saying, "You can call me Wang Laoqi. Come on, sit down. You need to tell me how you came up with this idea."

When Wang Laoqi saw that Uncle Li was approachable, he relaxed and sat down to chat with Uncle Li.

On the other side, Qi Dasheng seized the opportunity and directly interrogated Yu Huairen. Yu Huairen did not say a word, but just glanced at the wall clock from time to time.

It was almost seven o'clock from the time they were arrested to here. After three hours of interrogation, the three men didn't say a word, which made Qi Dasheng anxious and had no idea what to do. Time passed by minute by minute. Qi Dasheng went to Uncle Li's office to report. At this time, Wang Laoqi had already left. After listening to the report, Uncle Li frowned and said, "I'll go meet him."

Uncle Li walked into the interrogation room, looked at Yu Huairen who was sitting there, and handed Yu Huairen a cigarette without saying a word. Yu Huairen looked at Uncle Li deeply, took the cigarette, and Qi Dasheng lit it for him.

Uncle Li took a puff of his cigarette, coughed a few times, put it out, and then looked at Yu Huairen and said, "Xiao Yu, Master Sun has always regarded you as his favorite disciple. Since you became his confidential secretary, he has valued you very much and praised you in front of us more than once. Do you really have Master Sun as your teacher in your heart? I really want to know."

When Yu Huairen heard Uncle Li mention his mentor and leader, Old Sun, his eyes suddenly turned red, but he didn't say a word and just smoked silently. Uncle Li sighed and said, "This time, you have caused Old Sun a lot of trouble. It seems that Old Sun will not have a good end."

Hearing Uncle Li's words, Yu Huairen suddenly became excited and shouted, "My business is my business. It has nothing to do with my teacher. How can he know nothing?"

"Why are you so naive? If you don't say anything, how would you know that he knows nothing? Sooner or later, people will suspect Mr. Sun. Someone has to be responsible. Maybe if you say it, you can protect Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun takes care of you students in every possible way. Your tuition fees are all paid by him. Alas, it's a pity for Mr. Sun's family." Uncle Li said meaningfully.

Yu Huairen stopped talking, but glanced at the clock again. Uncle Li caught his little action and turned to look at the clock. It was already 11:45. In another 15 minutes, it would be the new year. Uncle Li was suspicious at first, then surprised, and finally shouted to Qi Dasheng: "Gather the team, take up your weapons, and make sure to get to Nanluoguxiang within ten minutes. Go quickly."

Qi Dasheng was shocked after hearing this, and immediately understood what was going on. He rushed out without even having time to answer.

Uncle Li shook his head and said to Yu Huairen, "Xiao Yu, go and have a rest. We can talk again tomorrow. You are such an ungrateful person."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out. As soon as he walked out the door, he heard Yu Huairen shouting loudly in the interrogation room: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

"You want to say it now, but I don't want to hear it now. I'll come back to you tomorrow when I feel better." Uncle Li turned around and said, and then he left. Yu Huairen was like a deflated ball, and suddenly collapsed there. Keyuan's courtyard was brightly lit today, with big red lanterns hanging high in the courtyard, and the lights in the hallway in the front yard and all the rooms in the back yard were on.

In the main room of the backyard, there was an octagonal table filled with dishes and several bottles of wine. Wang Zhan sat in the middle, facing the door. The door was open, and he sat there, eating the dishes bite by bite. He seemed to be waiting, but it was not known whether he was waiting for the midnight bell or for an important guest to come.

Just after half past eleven, Wang Zhan heard the sound of bells in the front yard. Although it was not very noticeable amid the sporadic sounds of firecrackers, he could hear it clearly. Blind Chen’s skills were not learned in vain. But then there was no movement. At forty past eleven, the sound of bells came from the side walls of the backyard again. He still did not move. After a while, there was no sound again. Wang Zhan smiled strangely.

At 11:50, there was a knock on the door. Wang Zhan walked slowly to the front yard, without even looking at the wall, and asked calmly, "Who is it?"

"I'm your master." Qi Dasheng's voice came from outside the door. Wang Zhan opened the door. Qi Dasheng was about to come in, but Wang Zhan hurriedly said, "Sprinkle this on yourself before coming in, otherwise you will be in danger."

Qi Dasheng was stunned and asked, "What is this? It smells so bad."

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Realgar powder."

Qi Dasheng didn't understand why people had to sprinkle realgar powder on their bodies during the New Year, but he did it anyway. He didn't want to try the superb and low-class methods used by Blind Chen and Taoist Wang.

Several soldiers who followed in also scattered some. Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Master, go to the walls on both sides and take a look. You should be able to get something."

Wang Zhan went to the main hall in the backyard after he finished speaking. Qi Dasheng felt puzzled, but he still led the soldiers there. After a while, there was a panicked cry, which made the soldiers outside the yard want to rush in. Qi Dasheng shouted, "Don't come in, don't come in, you will be in danger if you come in."

At this time, Qi Dasheng understood why his apprentice asked him to spread realgar powder. Within one meter of the wall, there were all kinds of snakes. Some were poisonous at first glance, but some were not. There were three people lying in the corner. Qi Dasheng went to the backyard again. It was the same under the wall, but there were also three people lying in the backyard. All of them were dead, having been bitten to death by poisonous snakes.

This scene made Qi Dasheng's scalp tingle. He looked towards the main room and saw that it was brightly lit. Wang Zhan was sitting steadily in the middle of the eight-immortals table, eating food bite by bite. The clock on the table behind him struck midnight. Wang Zhan stood up, took a string of firecrackers, lit it and threw it into the yard. When the firecrackers sounded, he pulled out a pistol from his waist and fired six shots in three directions at the roof.
