Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 5 Jia Dongxu was terrified.
The three old men, Yi Zhonghai, Xu Fugui, and Liu Haizhong, were talking amongst themselves, but no one in the room moved.

Even Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu, who were the parties involved, stood there, looking completely uninvolved. Why were they in such a hurry?
Moreover.

Everyone saw Li Hongbing's commotion just now. Even Yi Zhonghai, an old man, couldn't do anything about him. Since it wasn't their business, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.

What if we offend Li Hongbing?
Besides, there's Li Hongmei too!

Since Li Fushun passed away, Li Hongmei has been supporting the entire family on her own, and her personality has become more assertive.

Everything else is fine, but she can't be bullied, especially her younger brother, Li Hongbing.

If Li Hongmei found out that her younger brother was being bullied in the courtyard, she would hold each and every one of them accountable.

"Dongxu, go! Stop Li Hongbing and bring him back. Make sure he doesn't go to Officer Yang to complain."

After searching around, Yi Zhonghai realized that Sha Zhu had gone out today and wasn't in the yard. He quickly urged Jia Dongxu to hurry up and, fearing that Jia Dongxu didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, repeatedly reminded him.

"Da Mao, you come too."

At almost the same time, Xu Fugui also started directing his son.

"Dad, this isn't..."

Xu Damao was eager to see Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu suffer a setback, and was somewhat unwilling.

Seeing this, Xu Fugui kicked him and said angrily, "Just go when I tell you to, what are you dawdling for?"

If this matter were to reach Officer Yang, even if he wasn't directly involved, he's still one of the senior officials in charge of the compound, so he wouldn't get away with it.

The key point is that Li Hongbing just said that Jia Zhangshi was promoting feudal superstition in the courtyard. If this gets out, none of the three courtyard managers can escape responsibility.

Xu Damao was somewhat annoyed, but reluctantly followed Jia Dongxu out.

Besides the two of them, Liu Haizhong, the third uncle, also sent his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, out.

……

the other side.

Knowing that Yi Zhonghai and his men would definitely send people to chase after him, Li Hongbing didn't stop running from the moment he left the Intermediate People's Court, running as fast as he could towards the police station he remembered.

In the early days of the liberation of Beijing, in order to reclaim the privileges of foreigners in China, maintain urban safety and stability, and restore economic and social order, the military control commission was specially established as a transitional authority.

It was 1952. The military control commission had not yet been abolished, and the street offices in each district had not yet been established. However, civil affairs officers were specially set up in the police stations to be responsible for grassroots affairs such as household registration and dispute mediation.

The Officer Yang that Li Hongbing just mentioned is the civil affairs officer of the police station in charge of their area.

As for Yi Zhonghai and other so-called "big shots," they have no official status or real power.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, many systems and institutions were under construction and being improved. In order to facilitate management and connect with the masses, the so-called "management master system" was created.

The fact that the authorities tacitly allowed them to assist in the work and help mediate some simple neighborhood disputes, including preventing theft and espionage, did not mean that they were given governing power.

If they act recklessly and cause problems, they will be in deep trouble themselves.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to use the plenary session to label and convict him, but Li Hongbing wouldn't have it.

We travelled at lightning speed.

In order to avoid being caught and controlled by others, Li Hongbing ran for his life.

Unlike Li Hongbing, who risked his life for his cause, the three who chased after him were only following their fathers' orders. Jia Dongxu wanted to capture Li Hongbing and punish him severely, while Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi were simply doing so.

At their speed, let alone catching up with Li Hongbing, they were quickly left far behind by Jia Dongxu, giving the impression that they were just going through the motions.

Upon discovering this, Jia Dongxu was so angry he almost cursed.

"You two, why aren't you running faster? If Li Hongbing gets away, I'd like to see how you explain yourselves when you get back."

"Jia Dongxu, we're already running really fast, wait for us!" "Yeah, why are you running so fast?"

"Oh dear, I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore."

"I can't run anymore, Dongxu, slow down."

"..."

It would have been better if Jia Dongxu hadn't spoken up, but the reactions of Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi made him furious.

It wasn't their business to begin with. They were already cleaning up the mess for the Jia family by helping to chase after the person, but Jia Dongxu still had this attitude, which made Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi very unhappy, so they gave up on the spot.

Unable to count on them, Jia Dongxu was too lazy to waste time with them and chased after Li Hongbing, who was not far ahead, all by himself.

Li Hongbing was running as fast as he could, but because his body had not fully recovered, he was not running particularly fast, and Jia Dongxu quickly caught up with him.

As the distance between the two gradually closed, Li Hongbing became somewhat anxious.

At that moment, a notification suddenly appeared from the system, which delighted him.

[Agility +1]

With the increase in this agility attribute, Li Hongbing felt his condition improve and his speed increase. The distance that was being shortened was now maintained.

at the same time.

Li Hongbing also noticed that a new skill bar for running had been added to the system panel information.

With the system's support and status update, Li Hongbing finally managed to maintain a safe distance from Jia Dongxu.

at last.

As the police station came into view, Li Hongbing didn't hesitate and started running, shouting, "Police officers, help! Police officers..."

Li Hongbing's shout made Jia Dongxu, who was following closely behind, even more anxious.

In this state, Jia Dongxu actually broke his own speed limit and further shortened the distance between himself and Li Hongbing.

however.

Just as victory seemed within reach, before Jia Dongxu could even drag Li Hongbing away from the police station entrance, several police officers in beige uniforms rushed out, shielding Li Hongbing behind them while simultaneously pointing their guns at Jia Dongxu.

"stop!"

"You've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble at our police station!"

"No, officer, I..."

"Stand there!"

"Behave yourself, squat down! Put your hands behind your head!"

"..."

Jia Dongxu had never seen anything like this before, and immediately tried to step forward to explain. However, his actions only aroused the vigilance and caution of the police officers.

"Hey, hey, officer, don't shoot! Please don't shoot! I'm not a bad guy!"

With the gun barrel almost pressed against his forehead, Jia Dongxu was terrified and dared not move an inch. His crotch suddenly started to drizzle and became soaked.

This scene left Li Hongbing dumbfounded.

But it's understandable; after all, the gun barrel is about to make intimate contact with your forehead, so how many people wouldn't be afraid?

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was so scared that he wet himself, the police officers, who had been sounding the alarm, secretly felt disgusted as they stepped forward to subdue him.
