There is a large house away from the west entrance of the Beijing Polishing Factory, which is the ancestral home of the Hou family.
Mr. Hou usually lives in the new house of the silk and satin shop.
Whenever I encounter any difficult obstacles, I always go back to my ancestral home to stay for a few days, and wait until the situation calms down before reappearing in the public eye.
It’s just that no one lives in the ancestral house all year round. The yard is overgrown with weeds and the furniture in the house is covered with dust.
If before liberation, the Hou family had dozens of servants, it would be easy to clean up.
But after liberation, the capital changed. Equality was advocated for everyone on the streets, and those servants were dismissed.
Only the third son of the Hou family, Hou Bingchang, can do these trivial tasks.
Where is Hou Bingchang's work material?
Just squatting down and picking up a few grass blades made my back hurt, so I moved a chair and sat down to drink some tea.
Anyway, Butler Bai will be back soon. The old guy is very agile and will get it done soon.
Thinking of Butler Bai, Hou Bingchang felt unhappy.
Today, Butler Bai took someone to kidnap someone, but he didn't take him with him. He obviously didn't take him as the third young master into consideration.
"When Lao Bai comes back, we have to take care of him!"
Just as he was muttering, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the distance. Butler Bai ran in from outside in a hurry. His hair was covered with dust and his face was scratched, making him look particularly embarrassed.
"Hey, Lao Bai, are things done?"
"Master, something happened, something big happened!"
"Ah?! You can't even handle a little woman. It's a good thing you still did this a lot before liberation."
"Forget it, I was ambushed. Where is the master?"
"It's in the Buddhist hall!"
Butler Bai didn't care to chat with Hou Bingchang, and hurriedly walked along the corridor to a remote hut.
Although he was anxious, he knocked lightly on the door. After hearing a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in.
There is a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha statue with a pink lotus crown on his head enshrined in the Buddhist hall.
On the table under the Buddha statue, there are more than a dozen small sculptures such as Guanyin Master, Jigong Living Buddha, Confucius, Laozi, Sakyamuni, Lu Zu, Jigong Living Buddha, etc. All the saints of the five religions are gathered together.
It can be said that almost all the gods in the world are worshiped here.
The lights in the Buddhist hall were dim and the candlelight was flickering.
Mr. Hou was wearing a Taoist robe and sitting on the side of the Buddhist niche. His eyelids drooped and he seemed to be asleep, but his lips trembled slightly and he made an almost inaudible voice: "'In the last days of Baiyang', a great disaster is about to happen, and all living beings in the world will not be able to escape. Only Only by respecting God can we cultivate immortality and become a Buddha and not be troubled by disasters, otherwise we will always suffer disasters!"
Butler Bai knew that Mr. Hou had entered samadhi and would not be disturbed under normal circumstances, but
He gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Master, something happened. Zhao Qingfang was rescued."
His eyes suddenly opened. At this time, Mr. Hou no longer looked like the Tao Feng Immortal Bones just now. He asked in a panic: "What's going on, Lao Bai, please tell me clearly."
“Oddly enough, according to our plan, I took Chen Qingfang from Tailor Zhang to the old house on the outskirts of the city and kept her under my custody.
Not long after, a group of gray Chinese tunic suits rushed in. All the helpers were dead. I fired a few shots, but instead of forcing those people back, I was almost injured. "
After Butler Bai finished speaking, his heart rose in his throat. Zhao Qingfang was related to the Hou family's big plan, and now he was rescued.
Mr. Hou stood up and walked around the Buddhist hall with his hands behind his back. The edges of his robes brushed against the ground, making a popping sound.
The sound was particularly harsh in the silent Buddhist hall, and Butler Bai broke into a cold sweat.
"Old Bai, are you sure everyone is dead?" Mr. Hou suddenly asked.
"Absolutely sure!"
Mr. Hou breathed a sigh of relief, patted Lao Bai's shoulder gently, and said slowly: "Those people are so powerful. This is not your fault. Don't blame yourself."
"Master" Lao Bai was so excited that he almost shed tears.
"Okay, I can't blame you for this. It's because the people above were too anxious. They forgot that the world is different now."
Mr. Hou sat down on the chair, turned to look at the Mi Tuo Buddha and said, "But what should we do now? Will Zhang Xiuhua betray us?"
"Please rest assured, sir, Zhang Xiuhua was sent by Shangfeng.
In order to avenge her husband, when she entered the capital, she had already entertained the idea of death and would never betray us.
In addition, I left some backup just in case.
Zhang Xiuhua only recognized me from beginning to end.
Even if she confesses everything, she won't be able to implicate you, Master. "
Butler Bai felt proud of his sophistication.
"Have you opened the passage to the south?" Mr. Hou's eyelids twitched slightly before he asked.
"It's settled. I've handed over the specific details to the Third Young Master." Butler Bai turned his head.
Hou Bingchang, who had been standing by and was too scared to say a word, stepped forward and whispered: "Dad, Uncle Bai has already contacted me. We can set off to the south the day after tomorrow."
The second brother has already prepared the boat. We can leave even without passing those people on the summit. '
"So, we still need to hold on in the capital for two more days."
Mr. Hou tapped his fingers on the table twice, suddenly stood up and looked at Butler Bai with a smile.
"Lao Bai, you've worked hard. Go back and have a rest. I'll take you to the Federation of Industry and Commerce party tonight."
"Thank you, Master." Butler Bai was moved when he saw that Mr. Hou, instead of holding him accountable, cared about him so much.
He bowed to Mr. Hou and turned around quickly.
The statues on the Buddhist altar made him feel a little flustered.
Seeing this, Hou Bingchang bent over and licked his face and smiled: "Dad, you take Lao Bai to the party. Can you take me with you too? Don't worry, I will never fool around like before. The little boy named Chen before tailor"
Snapped!
Before Hou Bingchang finished speaking, he saw Mr. Hou suddenly take out a pistol, and a black hole appeared on Butler Bai's back, with drops of blood splattering inside.
After all, the power of the Bastard Box was a bit too small. After Bai Guanhua took a shot, he looked down at his chest and realized something.
He turned around and looked at Mr. Hou in disbelief.
"you"
"Now everyone who knew about that matter is dead." Mr. Hou slowly retracted his gun and looked up at Butler Bai: "Old Bai, I have read your birth date and calculated that you were at the side of the Queen Mother in your previous life. His bodyguard was demoted to the mortal world for violating the rules of heaven. He has to help his master fend off a disaster in the mortal world before he can atone for his sins and return to heaven!
For the sake of our relationship as master and servant, I will help you to save yourself free of charge.
So, just go with peace of mind. "
His vision gradually dimmed, and the whole world was covered with a layer of blood. The big-bellied Maitreya Buddha statue with a pink lotus crown on its head suddenly opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and rushed towards him.
Butler Bai was shocked, unable to hold on any longer, and fell backwards to the ground.
Mr. Hou looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the blood stains oozing out, and suddenly scratched his head: "What are we doing!
This is a Buddhist temple, and seeing blood is unlucky.
Alas, it's all because Butler Bai was too anxious and didn't choose a good place. "
Mr. Hou turned around and saluted the statue on the shrine, muttering the words "Gods forgive me".
At this time, Hou Bingchang finally recovered. He felt his heart beating rapidly. He quickly took two steps back and pointed at Butler Bai's body.
"Dad, dad, why did you kill him?"
"If you don't want to kill him? Are you waiting to be killed by someone else?" Mr. Hou made a nondescript clasped hands gesture.
He turned around and pinched his brows, looked at his unfulfilled son, and said coldly: "Now take this body to the cellar, and then report the case to the street police station, saying that Butler Bai secretly took the money on the cabinet and ran away. .”
"Here is the evidence that Butler Bai stole the money." As he spoke, he opened the drawer and took out a roll of paper.
Looking at the materials handed over, Hou Bingchang looked at Mr. Hou in disbelief: "Dad, have you been ready?"
"This is what Mother Wu Sheng told me in her dream." Mr. Hou turned around and bowed respectfully to the Buddha statue.
Looking at the fussy Mr. Hou, Hou Bingchang couldn't figure out whether he really believed in that stuff or was just pretending.
Hou Bingchang carried the body with difficulty and left. Mr. Hou held the table and slowly sat on the chair. He narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "Maybe it's time to go to the Daqianmen Street Office. That hidden coin has been arranged a long time ago. It’s time to use it.”
Bang.
The windows were blown open by the strong wind, the incense candles were blown out, and the temple was dark.

The other side.
Tailor Zhang was brought back to the maintenance section. Because Li Aiguo was careful, Tailor Zhang woke up after being unconscious for half an hour.
Finding himself in the detention room, tied to a chair with a rope, Tailor Zhang did not panic. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "Who did you learn your kung fu from?"
Tailor Zhang has always been proud of his sword skills, and since his debut he has rarely met anyone who can match him.
Today, I was knocked unconscious by a big five-four. You can imagine the shock in my heart.
Li Aiguo sat up straight: "I want to know, in exchange for the information you have."
"Cunning boy!" Tailor Zhang snorted coldly and lowered his head.
Subsequently.
No matter how Yan Zi and Minister Niu interrogated him, no matter how many great reasons they preached, Tailor Zhang would remain silent, almost like a wooden man.
Her dim eyes were enough to show that she was determined to die.
The interrogation reached a deadlock, and Li Aiguo decided to interrogate temporarily.
Several people left the detention room and stood in front of the railing on the second floor smoking.
Zhou Ke said angrily: "Minister, let me see, if you leave her to me, I can take care of her in just half an hour."
Minister Niu took a deep breath from his cigarette and glared at him: "Nonsense, a person like this is an elite among the enemies. How could she easily succumb to physical torture?"
Yanzi also agreed with the two people's views: "Although we haven't figured out Tailor Zhang's true identity yet, the fact that she was able to go to the island back then is enough to show how powerful she is."
I chatted for a while, but didn't have any clue.
Minister Niu suggested that Yanzi arrest Butler Bai immediately and open a breakthrough from Butler Bai.
"Zhao Qingfang has met Butler Bai and can identify him. As long as Butler Bai explains, we can take action against the Hou family."
Just as Yanzi was about to give the order, a man in black Chinese tunic hurried over, held her ear and whispered a few words.
"What, Butler Bai is missing?" Yan Zi lost his voice.
Upon hearing the news, Minister Niu and Zhou Ke's expressions changed drastically.
"How could a living person disappear?"
"He must have fled out of fear of crime!"
Yan Zi frowned and said, "Just now Hou Bingchang from the Hou family went to the police station to report the case, saying that Butler Bai stole the money from the cabinet and fled, and is now missing. The Hou family requested the street police station to catch Butler Bai as soon as possible and recover him. The two hundred dollars that were lost.”
"What a scheming person!"
Minister Niu frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed heavily and said, "In this way, the Hou family can distance themselves from Butler Bai. Even if we know that the Hou family is behind this, we can't do anything to them."
Li Aiguo knew what Minister Niu meant.
Mr. Hou is considered a big shot in the capital. Without sufficient evidence, once he makes any move, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Now that the capital has just been settled, the last thing it needs is trouble.
"Then, is there nothing we can do?" Zhou Ke said angrily: "Why don't I lead a dozen people into Hou's house? I don't believe that there is no evidence!"
"Nonsense!" Minister Niu scolded: "Are you trying to break the rules we have set?"
"." Zhou Ke had nothing to say.
One of the differences between the new era and the old society is the rules.
How can you win people's trust if you don't even follow the rules?
Besides, there are still many demons and monsters hiding in the dark. They are unwilling to fail and are waiting to catch the new era.
It was already noon time, and the fragrant smell of food wafted from the canteen of the locomotive depot.
The task force had a simple lunch in the canteen and then returned to work.
This time they did not continue to interrogate Tailor Zhang, but brought their sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang into the interrogation room.
This was the first time in Zhao Qingfang's life to come to such a place.
As soon as I entered the room, I was overwhelmed by the serious atmosphere.
She bent over and carefully sat on the chair, her butt only dared to sit on half of the chair, and raised her head to look timidly at the interrogation table.
Seeing Li Aiguo sitting behind the table, Zhao Qingfang was relieved. It turned out that he was being questioned by his brother-in-law.
Then it's definitely just a matter of going through the motions.
Isn't that how it's played in the drama "Under the Bridge"?
Zhao Qingfang felt that she was a little too nervous, as if she would be looked down upon by others. She raised her left leg and gently placed it on her right leg, shaking her toes slightly, and sat down in a relaxed and comfortable position.
Li Aiguo had a black line on his forehead at this time.
A few months ago, he had just interrogated his father-in-law.
Now I have to interrogate my sister-in-law again
Then we have to interrogate the elder brother
Well, Chen Xueru has already interrogated him without any concealment from beginning to end.
The Chen family was basically interrogated by him.
If this spreads out, others will give a thumbs up and praise him: "What a good son-in-law!"
Li Aiguo originally wanted to apply to avoid the interrogation on the basis of relatives, but Yanzi felt that Li Aiguo knew the situation of the Chen family and the interrogation would be more convenient.
So I could only appear in the interrogation room.
Just what is sister-in-law doing? Think of this as a chatting place.
"put it down!"
There was a loud shout, and Chen Qingfang was so frightened that she almost fell off the chair. She hurriedly put down her legs and sat down on the chair.
"Patriot, I am the sister-in-law."
"Attention, this is an interrogation room, please pay attention to discipline." Li Aiguo said with a serious face.
"I know." Zhao Qingfang nodded, still a little disapproving in his heart.
Li Aiguo took a deep breath, cleared his mind of the chaotic thoughts, looked at Zhao Qingfang and asked:
"What you committed this time is suspected of leaking factory secrets. According to relevant regulations, it must be dealt with seriously."
"Zhao Qingfang, you know our policy, which is to be lenient if you confess and strict if you resist. I hope you can honestly explain and strive for leniency."
He has a serious expression, a majestic tone, and a powerful demeanor.
Zhao Qingfang's little face was suddenly livid with fear, and she realized her identity.
"Name!" Li Aiguo asked.
"Ah, don't you know? When you and Xueru were having sex, I helped you! You can't."
"Name!" Li Aiguo reminded him by knocking on the table hard.
"Zhao, Zhao Qingfang."
A dull sound sounded, and Zhao Qingfang shivered with fright, and the bit of luck in her heart suddenly disappeared.
She realized that the man in front of her was not her brother-in-law, but a true warrior.
"age?"
"Twenty-six years old."
"."
"."
This routine and boring inquiry may seem unreasonable, but it is actually necessary.
It can help the interrogator establish a huge advantage in the psychological game of the interrogated person.
After the person being interrogated answers these questions honestly, he will feel that he should answer the other party's questions, forming a kind of thinking inertia.
This is especially true for little women like Zhao Qingfang.
In the ensuing interrogation, it can be said that all questions were answered.
"I let it slip at the beginning, and it's all my fault for being targeted by Tailor Zhang. I shouldn't have shown off my new job at Xingjia, otherwise I wouldn't have caused such a big mess."
When Zhao Qingfang thought about those things, she felt regretful.
It didn't matter that she was a little wronged, but the key was that Xing Jia was involved. Once this kind of thing sticks to her, it is difficult to get rid of it.
Zhao Qingfang raised her head and looked at Li Aiguo: "Leader Aiguo, my family will not be punished, right? This matter has nothing to do with him, it is all my fault!
If you want to punish me, punish me! "
Li Aiguo looked at Zhao Qingfang and sighed in his heart.
My sister-in-law has too many shortcomings. She likes to show off, is competitive and jealous, but she is not bad at heart.
If I could correct myself this time, I wouldn't have suffered so much in vain.
Just to make her remember, just criticizing a few words is not enough.
Li Aiguo winked at Zhou Ke, and Zhou Ke said with a straight face: "Chen Xingjia violated the rules of the workshop by leaking to you the fact that he entered the laboratory to work, and you leaked this to the enemy. His crimes are even more serious."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingfang's face was livid with fright, her body trembled, and she almost fell off the chair.
"Leader, I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore. I will never be in trouble with my parents in the future. Just let Xing Jia go!"
Zhao Qingfang is a little woman. Even though she whines and moans all day long, when the critical moment comes, she has no idea.
Now seeing the idea of pursuing Chen Xingjia, she panicked and knelt down to kowtow.
"I, I'll give you one."
Good guy, it seems like you’ve gone too far.
If Miss Chen knew this, she would definitely not be able to go to bed at night.
Li Aiguo winked at Zhou Ke again.
Zhou Ke felt like he had become a remote-controlled robot.
What, there is no such thing in these days, so forget it.
He quickly stood up and helped Zhao Qingfang up: "Comrade Zhao Qingfang, this is a new society, and we don't want to do this. Since Comrade Chen Xingjia did not allow the enemy to steal materials under the coercion and inducement of the enemy, we will punish him Leniency.”
"Thank you, leader, thank you, leader."
Unknowingly, Zhao Qingfang was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.
After sitting on the chair, she decided that she would definitely correct her old mistakes in the future.
Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke inquired for a while, and until there were no new clues, they asked the two lesbians to take Zhao Qingfang out.
Zhao Qingfang walked to the door and suddenly stopped and looked at Li Aiguo: "Aiguo, these mistakes were all made by me and have nothing to do with Xueru. You must not embarrass Xueru."
Seeing the determination on Zhao Qingfang's face, Li Aiguo sighed in his heart. There were many problems with this sister-in-law, and she was not a black-hearted person.
After Zhao Qingfang was taken away, Chen Xingjia was also taken into the interrogation room.
After all, he is a man. Although he is usually afraid of his wife, he can still stay calm in a depressing atmosphere.
He answered Li Aiguo's question honestly.
It’s just that Chen Xingjia hasn’t had much interaction with Tailor Zhang, and it’s even less likely that he can provide useful clues.
During this period, Chen Xingjia also asked about Zhao Qingfang's situation several times. He was relieved to know that Zhao Qingfang was safe and sound.
He stood up and said: "Patriot, the root cause of this matter is me, Qingfang is implicated. Just arrest me. You can sentence me to decades, but if it doesn't work, I will knock stones for your locomotive depot." "
"Comrade Chen Xingjia, do you think this is buying old hens in the vegetable market? If you catch one, you have to let one go? Sit down!" Zhou Ke was also amused by Chen Xingjia's honesty.
After Chen Xingjia sat down again, Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke gave him a severe education.
The education lasted for a full hour and a half. After Li Aiguo confirmed that Chen Xingjia had indeed not leaked the materials in the laboratory, he was asked to take him back to the detention room.
"Aiguo, our father doesn't know about this yet, can you find a way to hide it from him." When Chen Xingjia stood up, he looked at Li Aiguo and said sincerely.
Only then did Li Aiguo remember that Chen Fangxuan was still in the dark.
Although Chen Xingjia and Zhao Qingfang did not make any big mistakes, the case has not been solved yet. Once they are sent back, they may be in danger.
In addition, the above needs to give opinions on their handling.
So I have to stay in the detention room for a while.
When it is time to get off work, if Chen Xingjia and others cannot return to the tailor shop in time, it will definitely arouse Chen Fangxuan's suspicion.
The old house was on fire, and Chen Fangxuan was truly moved this time.
If something bad happens, Miss Chen will be very sad.
Therefore, Li Aiguo took half an hour off and rode his bicycle to the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office.
To deceive my father-in-law, my own daughter-in-law has to do it!
(End of chapter)
