Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

After investigating his social circle, he found out that Chen Xi and Qin Jingru didn't know each other, and they didn't have any conflicts with the Liu brothers. He didn't bother to plot against the Liu brothers to target Qin Jingru, not to mention that he had kindly donated 20 yuan.

In the face of various evidences and testimonies, the main perpetrators in the case of Qin Jingru being raped were the two brothers of the Liu family, and had nothing to do with Chen Xi.

Only one person saw through the truth, Yan Bugui. He always felt that Chen Xi's method was very familiar. Wasn't it the same one he used to deal with Yan Jiecheng before?

What if Yan Bugui finds out?

Just like Chen Xi said before, it’s useless to report to the police because there is no evidence.

Yan Bugui could only strictly order his children to have less contact with the Chen family in the future, so as to avoid being cheated by that kid again.

Not only Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai also realized that Chen Xi was the biggest scourge in the courtyard. He was a more hypocritical person than himself. He had done so many evil things, but he was still able to get rid of them. He should not be underestimated.

As the Red Guards who had come to Beijing to pay homage left one after another, the security in the city improved a little. At least there was no more looting and smashing people openly. Now, those who took action would usually make up a pretext and fabricate a crime first.

Chen Xi was not worried about this. Deputy Director Li had the final say in the steel rolling mill, and Chen Wei was in the security department. Who would have the time to cause trouble for him?

The answer is of course Xu Damao.

Xu Damao took advantage of the Lou family's affairs to get on the good side of Deputy Factory Director Li and became a tool for the other party to make money. After he had some power in his hands, he began to become arrogant.

Sha Zhu is in labor reform, Bang Geng is gone, the Lou family collapsed, and Xu Damao can't find a suitable target for a while. I don't know why he thought of Chen Xi. It's you!

Xu Damao's target is Tomie, and he wants to use Chen Xi's incident to see if he can use coercion. Even though he has no balls, he is still a man and has some function left, so it's not impossible for him to do it once in a while.

Xu Damao is really envious of Tomie Kawakami's beauty.

The only thing Xu Damao didn't expect was how much Deputy Director Li valued Chen Xi. He thought he was more important than Chen Xi and was too arrogant, so he just handed over his plan.

The reasons were all from the spot, the same old ones, that Chen Xi's family life was too petty bourgeois, that there were obviously problems with his thinking, and that he was suspected of being an enemy spy.

Deputy Director Li was drinking tea leisurely, listening to Xu Damao's indignant chattering, with a playful look in his eyes. In the end, he said nothing, waved his hand, and sent him out.

Xu Damao left the office in a daze. The further he walked back, the more panicked he became. He kept wondering if he had done something wrong.

Before Xu Damao knew, Chen Xi had already been called over by Deputy Director Li.

Compared to Xu Damao's respectfulness here, Chen Xi was much more at ease, smoking and drinking tea casually, while Ge You slumped on the bench with his legs resting on the stool.

"I'm so tired." Chen Xi didn't treat himself as an outsider at all: "I don't know what happened these two days. Why are there so many injured people?"

"People are restless and their minds are in a mess. They are often distracted while working." Deputy Director Li said, "It will be fine after this period. By the way, have you offended Xu Damao?"

"No, what's wrong with that grandson?"

"They came to report you and persuaded me to confiscate your property, saying that you might be an enemy spy."

Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh: "How cruel! They are afraid that I won't die."

"That's why I'm wondering where all the hatred between you two comes from."

"There is definitely no hatred, but I can guess a little bit about what that grandson is thinking."

"Oh?"

"He just wants my wife. He thinks if he can get me, she will listen to him."

"No wonder." Deputy Director Li nodded to show that he understood. Indeed, Comrade Tomie's appearance could easily arouse other people's covetousness.

"Since that grandson is ready to do something bad to me, I won't be polite. Director, why don't you change the knife?"

"Hmm..." Deputy Director Li hesitated for a moment and said, "How is Liu Haizhong? He has been showing his loyalty to me recently. Is he also from your hospital?"

"He is an official fanatic. He is a good and obedient dog, but he is also very greedy. He becomes arrogant when he succeeds."

"Then it's him." Deputy Director Li was already prepared to raise Liu Haizhong like a pig.

"Then I won't be polite, Xu Damao."

"Well, do with it as you please. Prepare some more of that medicinal wine for me later and I'll give it away."

"These are all trivial matters. I will send them home to you later."

"Go."

What Xu Damao could not have imagined was that the relationship between Deputy Director Li, whom he was trying to curry favor with, and Chen Xi was no longer just a superior-subordinate relationship. Sometimes it was even like an alliance, simply because Chen Xi was irreplaceable.

Deputy Director Li and his network of connections all need the medicinal wine and pills prepared by Chen Xi. This is an exclusive secret recipe. Without Chen Xi, they will never be able to get it again. In comparison, Xu Damao has as many knives as he wants.

Xu Damao spent the whole day in fear, but nothing happened. However, he still felt uneasy. After returning home, he planned to hide all the property that had been seized during the recent house search.

Just as they packed up the belongings, the door of the room was kicked open. Mother Xu was so scared that she screamed. Xu Damao turned around and his heart sank.

The team was led by Chen Wei.

At this point, if Xu Damao still couldn't understand, he would have lived in vain for so many years. He was abandoned by the people above him just because of the plan he proposed.

Xu Damao gave up struggling and knelt down to beg: "I was blind, it's all my fault, please let me go this time, I will hand over all the money and property!"

Chen Wei kicked Xu Damao away with disdain, and used his eyes to convey a message: Foolish! If we catch you, those will also be ours!

In order to prevent Xu Damao from biting randomly in public, the security personnel directly blocked his mouth with a sock. It was the same person's foot, and the skin on his feet was more peeling than before.

Xu's mother went up to the security guards and tried to stop them from taking her son away. She even scratched their faces with her fingernails.

Chen Wei's face turned serious: "You are obstructing public affairs, take them away together!"

Xu Damao and his mother were taken away. People in the courtyard watched the whole process, but they were not surprised at all. Looking at Xu Damao's previous behavior, he deserved this day.

The charges against Xu Damao were all ready-made. He couldn't explain the source of those properties at all, let alone say that they were given by the Lou family. In order to express his position, Xu Damao said that he didn't take a penny from the Lou family.

It was not given by the Lou family, nor was it saved by themselves. The Xu family was also a family of poor peasants for three generations, so where did all this wealth come from?

Can't tell?

If you can't tell, just stay inside.

Xu Damao was very conflicted. He thought about threatening Deputy Director Li to let him go, otherwise both sides would be in trouble and no one would be better off if he confessed everything.

It was a good idea, but he didn't have the chance. That night, the security department released him on the pretext that their superiors had given the order.

Xu Damao didn't think much about it, and was still wondering if Deputy Director Li would show leniency, then should he die together with him?

Soon after Xu Damao walked out of the security department, he heard shouts from behind: "Xu Damao has escaped! Someone, bring him back!"

Upon hearing this call, Xu Damao's first reaction was to run away. He was also guilty and didn't want to be caught again, so he ran away quickly.

"Xu Damao! Stop! If you run again we will shoot!"

Xu Damao: I don’t believe you at all. You are so far away, I don’t believe you can hit me. And you are shooting. You are just bragging!

Not only did Xu Damao not stop, he quickened his pace and even moved in a serpentine manner while running.

Seeing Xu Damao running farther and farther, Chen Wei took the rifle from the security officer and aimed at Xu Damao from a distance. "We've already warned you, if you don't listen, don't blame us."

"boom!"

A gunshot was heard, and Xu Damao, who was running, felt a push that carried him away and he fell heavily forward. Only after he landed did he feel the sharp pain in his chest.

The brain activated its protective mechanism due to the severe pain and Xu Damao fainted from the pain, but the bullet wound in his chest was still bleeding.

By the time the security personnel arrived at Xu Damao's side, he had already died from excessive blood loss.

The Security Department was responsible for this incident because someone's poor supervision led to Xu Damao's escape. That officer had one month's salary deducted. Afterwards, Chen Wei privately gave him two months' salary.

The Security Department is not responsible for Xu Damao's death. We warned him, but he didn't listen, so of course we had to shoot.

Chen Wei also said that he just wanted to scare the guy and didn't intend to kill anyone. He also blamed Xu Damao for twisting and turning while running, and it was purely a coincidence that he was hit.

To put it bluntly, Xu Damao deserved to die.

Xu Damao’s death was passed over without anyone mentioning the truth or the truth. Xu’s mother could not accept this outcome, so she went to find the police.

The police came to investigate and didn't find any problems. It was indeed Xu Damao who was at fault. Not only did he fail to explain the source of his property, he also tried to escape. If it were them, they would have shot as well.

This conclusion dealt a heavy blow to Xu's mother, and she also hated the Chen family. If it weren't for Chen Wei, how could her son have died?

Wait a minute, let me deal with Damao’s funeral, then we’ll slowly settle it!

Xu's mother has already locked on her target for revenge. She can't beat Chen Wei and Chen Xi, but you love that girl Chen Xiaoxiao, so I will kill her.

On the day of Xu Damao's burial, Xu's mother cried bitterly and was so grief-stricken that she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Before anyone else had time to react, she was gone.

Inside the courtyard, Chen Xi watched as Xu's mother's hair turned to ashes. Feeling a little bit of his energy permanently lost, he knew that his curse had succeeded.

Do you really think you can't see the malice?

No one doubted the death of Xu's mother. They all thought it was a heart attack caused by excessive grief. People on the street wanted to contact Xu's father to deal with it, but found that he was gone.

Father Xu took Er Erchun and his burden back to his hometown. He was determined to have a son. When Er Erchun became pregnant, he was completely controlled.

In order to buy enough nutrients for his second spring, even at his old age, Xu's father had to go up the mountain, hunting or looking for herbs, to earn as much as he could.

The prey was found, but Xu's father was no match for the wild boar and was mauled to death by it.

Er Erchun is now in charge, and he has not arranged for anyone to notify Xu's mother and Xu Damao, for fear that they will come back to fight for Xu's father's property in the village.

Now Xu Damao is dead. He has no children and his parents are also gone. The property that the Intermediate Court compensated him with can only be inherited by his sister.

Chapter 314 The End of the Siheyuan

Xu Xiaomei got a great bargain for no reason, but she didn't want to live in this courtyard. She felt that the feng shui here was bad and too many bad things happened here.

The house originally belonged to Sha Zhu, then to Xu Damao, and now belongs to Xu Xiaomei. She has rented it out. Anyone can live in it, as long as she doesn't live there.

The experience of the Xu family sounded a wake-up call to Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, making them clearly realize who they should not offend in this courtyard.

Where there are smart people, there are idiots, like the old man in the backyard who doesn’t want to reveal his name.

As the leader of the patrol team, Liu Haizhong was shaking all over.

Fortunately, Deputy Director Li gave Liu Haizhong some advice, asking him not to cause trouble for Chen Xi, and Liu Haizhong took his advice to heart.

Although he didn't cause trouble for Chen Xi, he offended everyone else. Not only the workers in the courtyard, but also many workers in the factory were persecuted by him.

Liu Haizhong is uneducated and has a certain self-awareness in his mind, which is to take it for granted that what he thinks is a certain way should be the way it is.

When what he took for granted conflicted with reality, he became angry. He thought he was not wrong, but the world was wrong!

Liu Haizhong started to do all kinds of things based on this idea. He felt that if you had a problem, then there must be a problem. If he couldn't find the problem, it was your fault. Why shouldn't you let me find the problem?

This work was done until 1967. Because of his existence, the steel mill was in an uproar among the people, but Liu Haizhong was still complacent and unaware of it.

When Xu Damao got the things, he wanted to secretly give part of them to Deputy Director Li, and he kept a small part.

Liu Haizhong had no such awareness at all. He either handed in the things he got or kept them for himself. He never gave any gifts at all.

It would have been better if it hadn't been sent. Deputy Director Li would have no handle in the other party's hands. When he felt that the knife needed to be dealt with, the security department came directly to his door.

A large amount of unexplained property was seized from Liu Haizhong's home. He could not explain the source and could not blame anyone. He had no choice but to plead guilty.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu had not been released yet, and Liu Haizhong was also put in jail. Due to the huge amount of money he embezzled, he was taken away and fed peanuts not long after being detained.

The Liu family's sky completely collapsed. Liu Guangqi never came back. With the help of the Yue family, he was originally preparing to be promoted to a cadre level, but when Liu Haizhong got into trouble, he could not pass the political review.

promoted?

It would be good enough if you are not dismissed from your public office.

Liu Guangqi hated Liu Haizhong to death and was unwilling to come back even for the funeral, as if he didn't have such a father.

Liu Haizhong's house was not private property. After he was executed, the house was taken back and all the money in the family was confiscated. All the money he had saved before was counted as illegal income.

The second aunt had nowhere to go, so she had to stay with the first aunt. The two old ladies depended on each other, and she had to wait for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to come out.

The aunt could still get by. She got a lot of money from Yi Zhonghai when they divorced, and her expenses were not that high. But it was not good to have only spending and no income, so she simply took some work on the street.

In this way, the first aunt made matchboxes and the second aunt swept the streets, and the two old ladies lived tenaciously.

Looking at the miserable situation in the courtyard, Kawakami Tomie couldn't understand one thing: "Boss, you don't plan to deal with a hypocrite like Yi Zhonghai?"

Indeed, so far, Yi Zhonghai has been the least affected. Even after the divorce, he is still an eighth-level worker and receives a salary every month. It is really great for him to live alone.

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Sha Zhu will be able to come out this year. After Yi Zhonghai is dealt with, how can Sha Zhu come back to this courtyard?"

Kawakami Tomie suddenly realized, yes, Sha Zhu's home is gone, and the deaf old lady's home is gone too. If something happens to Yi Zhonghai, no one will take Sha Zhu in.

"Boss, are you still planning to let Shazhu move back in?"

"Well, this is fun. Speaking of which, Sha Zhu should thank me. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been able to get Qin Huairu so quickly."

"Yes, yes, boss, you are the kindest."

"Of course." Chen Xi boasted for three seconds, then put on an apron: "I'm going to cook, you go and look after Xiao Xiao."

Chen Xiaoxiao had been playing in the yard. When she saw Kawakami Tomie coming out, she happily rushed over and said in a baby voice, "Auntie~"
