Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 404: Wang Aiguo is imprisoned, the Guangdong master comes out

After hearing Fangyan's guess, Cui Changshou patted the snow off his body, shook his head and said:

"I don't know about that. I just heard it from his neighbors."

"But since the things are already at home, even if he was coerced, I guess it's not something that can be explained in just a few words. After all, he didn't take the initiative to call the police, so he can be considered an accomplice to some extent, don't you think?"

Fangyan thought for a moment and nodded:

"Makes sense."

So just as Cui Changshou said, even if Wang Aiguo was not the mastermind in this case, he most likely played an ignominious role.

Fangyan continued to ask:
"By the way, has the police station notified the leaders of Tong Ren Tang?"

Cui Changshou scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"At the time, I only asked his neighbors and didn't ask anyone else, so I don't know. But it's been such a long time, so he should have been notified."

The dialect is speechless, but with such heavy snow and strong wind, it’s not their fault.

After all, these things are not other people's business, and it is already very good to be able to take the initiative to go there.

"Forget it, you've worked hard. Let's go to the hotel first. I'm going to the police station now. I'll use their phone to ask." Fang Yan said to Cui Changshou.

"Yeah." Cui Changshou nodded.

Then Fangyan came to the street police station in Dazhalan.

Even in the cold weather, the public security comrades inside are still very busy.

Fang Yan arrived at the door of Qiu Jianghe's office, who had contacted her before.

Knocked on the door:

"Director Qiu."

Director Qiu, who was concentrating on writing, immediately raised his head:

"Hey, Comrade Fangyan, how did you get here in this strong wind and snow?"

The dialect said:

"Well, Tong Ren Tang is closed today, so I had nowhere to go, so I came to your place."

There is nothing wrong with saying this in dialect.

After all, he is a training teacher of traceology in the Municipal Bureau, and he also attended the commendation meeting for arresting enemy spies. Yesterday's criminals were all arrested based on the clues he provided.

He said that he came to the police station, and there was really nothing wrong with him.

Director Qiu stood up and naturally brought him a bench, and asked:

"Not open?"

"Based on the clues you provided, we arrested all the thieves yesterday?"

Fangyan sat down and said:
"The locks have been changed and no one else has the key. Lao Wang didn't come this morning. I just asked someone to check. The neighbor over there said he was arrested last night."

"Caught?" Qiu Jianghe felt like he was at a loss for words.

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Someone reported him and his brother-in-law for collecting stolen goods near the train station. The police caught them red-handed at home last night and took his whole family away."

After hearing this, Qiu Jianghe said in disbelief:
"No way? I've known Lao Wang for a long time. He's a good guy. How could he do something illegal?"

Fangyan shrugged and said:

"I don't really believe it either. I just want to trouble you to call Tong Ren Tang's superiors and ask the leaders what's going on."

"No one is taking care of the people in our store. We are now hiding in the 'Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant' waiting for notification."

Qiu Jianghe nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll make the call right away."

Soon he picked up the office phone and made a call.

Then he started asking questions to the other end.

After a while, Qiu Jianghe hung up the phone and said to Fang Yan:

"They said the incident was true, and they have already sent people to the police station to handle it."

"You guys should send them home first and come back to work tomorrow."

Fangyan nodded:
"understood."

"Thank you, Director Qiu."

"Well, you're welcome." Qiu Jianghe waved his hand.

Then he sighed:
"I really didn't expect Lao Wang would do such a thing? You really can't judge a person by his appearance!"

Before leaving, Fang Yan asked Qiu Jianghe:
"By the way, Chief Qiu, who are the people who stole from Tong Ren Tang? How many people are there in total?"

Qiu Jianghe said:
"There are four people in total. The leader is called Liao Yingxiong. This guy has a criminal record and his family is not from nearby. However, there is a guy from this area in the team."

Fang Yan quickly thought of Liao Yingxiong in his mind. He was one of the people preparing for the college entrance examination at that time. He was also afraid that he would fail the physical examination and came to find him.

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Oh, you mean Liao Yingxiong. I remember him. At that time, he said he was going to take the college entrance examination."

Qiu Jianghe was surprised:

"With so many patients every day, how can you still remember this person?"

The dialect said:

"Few people give him this name, and he looks short, just over 1.5 meters tall, which is very different from his name."

"That's true..." Qiu Jianghe nodded.

Then he said:
"That kid is a scumbag. He definitely can't even think about getting into college. His criminal record includes theft and fraud. He won't be able to get out until the university he gets into graduates this year."

Fang Yan asked Qiu Jianghe:
"Have you recovered the stuff?"

Qiu Jianghe responded:

"We recovered some of it, but some of it was sold on the black market."

"But it's also a good opportunity to dig up the people who collect stolen goods on the black market."

After that, he paused and added:

"People like Lao Wang and his brother-in-law."

Fangyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. After the theft happened, many police stations continued to dig out the people who received the stolen goods in the black market after catching the thieves.

Wang Aiguo was involved at this time, and he would undoubtedly be given special care. After that, Fang Yan said goodbye, Qiu Jianghe left the police station and returned to the hotel, where he told everyone about the situation.

Although everyone was incredulous about Wang Aiguo's crime, they all expressed their feelings and then went back home according to the instructions from their superiors conveyed in dialect.

Of course, Fangyan said the same thing and just rode his bike home.

Riding a motorcycle in this cold winter is not a very pleasant experience. By the time I rode all the way home, my face and hands were a little numb.

He opened the door and pushed the cart into the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard the door of the back house in the front yard being opened.

It turned out that it was the eldest sister, the younger brother, and the younger sister-in-law. They opened the door and looked in after hearing the sound of the door opening.

Fangyan simply recounted what had happened without waiting for them to ask.

I went straight to take a hot shower.

It was a very cold day and Fangyan was blown by the cold wind. He just wanted to come back and take a hot bath to feel comfortable.

After washing, Fang Yan walked out feeling relaxed.

Then I went back to the study to play with the dog and read books while waiting for lunch.

……

That afternoon, Fangyan received another good news.

The number of subscriptions for "Chinese Materia Medica Processing" by two universities has finally come out.

The People's Medical Publishing House has started printing.

After it is printed, Fangyan and his entire group will be able to get a sample copy.

Because color printing is a bit expensive, and according to President Zhao Xiwu's intention, we should use the best color printing, so it is even more expensive.

Things were going well here, which offset Fangyan's bad mood in the morning.

Time passed quickly and it was the next day.

The snow and wind stopped early that morning, and the sun finally shone brightly on the streets of the capital.

The streets were full of people sweeping snow.

When Fangyan rode his bike to Dazhalan Street, he did not encounter any snow along the way.

When we arrived at the entrance of Tongrentang, the door was also opened.

When Fangyan walked into the store, he saw Director Luo holding an inventory book and taking inventory of each item.

Next to him was an old man with gray hair.

After Fangyan entered the store, he greeted Director Luo.

Then he introduced the new acting store manager in Fangyan.

It turned out that this person was Wang Aiguo’s previous store manager, named Deng Nian.

This person had already retired, and we had no other choice but to invite him here.

According to Director Luo, Mr. Deng was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Guangdong in his early years.

Before liberation, he studied at Guandong School of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

In the early 1950s, he was transferred to a pharmacy in Beijing to guide drug preparation, and then stayed in Beijing.

He studied traditional Chinese medicine and worked in medicine-related work all his life, and Wang Aiguo was his apprentice.

Now that the apprentice has committed a crime and can no longer continue working in his position, he asked the old man to leave.

Fangyan was really speechless and had to remind Director Luo that although the man in front of him was experienced, he was an old man after all. Although it was okay to work in Tongrentang in the middle of winter, it would be a big trouble if he fell on the way home to work.

Don’t let this store manager get fired again, otherwise rumors will spread that he is not qualified to be the store manager of Tongrentang.

When Director Luo heard Fangyan's words, he said it was okay. The old man also practiced martial arts. He was over 80 years old this year. When he walked on the street, most young men could not catch up with him.

After hearing this, Fang Yan looked at Manager Deng again. It was obvious that he was still too frail. Mr. Lu was also over eighty years old, and his energy and blood were not as weak as Mr. Deng's.

Mr. Lu is in his eighties but looks like he is in his early sixties, while the Mr. Deng in front of him looks to be in his eighties.

When the old man heard Fangyan had some opinions about him being the store manager, he immediately wanted to perform a set of Cailifo Boxing. After Fangyan watched the old man finish the set of boxing, he didn't say much.

The main thing is that the old man himself is happy to come and contribute.

Whatever I say next will seem like it's directed at others.

After all, his starting point was just for the old man's good.

Director Luo was very satisfied with the old man's skills and told Fangyan not to worry.

Then I continued to count the inventory.

Because of the fine weather today, patients came one after another.

Director Luo and the old man had no concern for the dialect, so they continued to treat the patient as usual.

When Grandpa Deng was in charge of reviewing the prescription, after seeing the prescription, the old man asked Fang Yan who his master was, and Fang Yan told him Lu Donghua.

The old man curled his lips in disbelief.

With a little bit of Cantonese colloquialism, he spoke to the dialect:

"Many of your prescriptions use insect medicine. Judging from your style, you must be a disciple of Jiao Shude or Zhang Cigong."

"Mr. Zhang Ci passed away early, and you are not very old, so you must be Jiao Shude's apprentice!"

At this time, Director Luo smiled and said:

"Mr. Deng, you really guessed wrong. He is really Lu Donghua's apprentice."

Deng Nian still didn't believe it and said:
"Lu Donghua was good at fighting when he was young, but when did his medical skills become so great?"

Seeing the old man's puzzled look, Fang Yan said to him:
"My insect medicine recipe is indeed related to Zhang Cigong."

"I learned some methods of using insect medicine from his apprentice Zhu Liangchun."

There is no falsehood in what the dialect says.

But after he finished speaking, he saw Deng Lao shaking his head and said in disbelief:

"I'm not confused, young man. Zhu Liangchun has been in Nantong. Where are you going to study?"

PS: This Mr. Deng is an important figure who introduced the Guangdong school of doctors.
