Chapter 215: Unexpected Killing

Of course He Yuzhu knew why the deaf old lady was so happy after hearing the broadcast about banning smoking.

At this time, I naturally followed her advice.

"It should be soon.

Maybe the anti-smoking committee has been established now.
When I go to work in the afternoon, I might have to follow my colleagues from the branch to crack down on opium dens in the city and confiscate opium and smoking paraphernalia.”

"Okay, okay, that's good, that's good.

I have been badly harmed by the opium sellers. I will definitely punish them this time.

It would be best if you also confiscated the opium in Aunt Zhang's house.
Let her quit smoking.

When Jia Dongxu gets married, our courtyard will become more prosperous.”

I know that the deaf old lady specifically mentioned Jia Zhang for no other reason.

When people get older, they are especially happy to see a new life being born. When He Jianguo was born, the deaf old lady was also very happy.
He Yuzhu did not comment on her request. Who can tell the truth about Jia Zhang's affairs?

"Madam, you are mistaken.
Didn't we just say on the radio that the State Council hopes that the people will take the initiative to cooperate, turn in the opium and quit smoking?
It is better to let Aunt Zhang quit smoking on her own initiative.

If I bring Brother Lin and the others here, the situation will be completely different.

That means Aunt Zhang has no intention of repenting, and she will have to stay in a smoking cessation center for a while."

After all, neighbors are neighbors.
The deaf old lady didn't want Jia Zhang to be locked up by the police station, so she stopped urging He Yuzhu.
"Forget it, Xiao Zhang is a vengeful girl.

Although we are doing this for her own good, she doesn't think so. Let Jia Dongxu persuade her himself.

We really shouldn’t get involved.”

After lunch, He Yuzhu returned to the branch and learned from Lin Zheng the news of the establishment of the Anti-Smoking Committee. He was even a member of the Shichahai Anti-Smoking Committee.

Then, Lin Zheng called his comrades together to assign tasks.

"Comrades, everyone has heard the broadcast at noon today. This morning, the Peking Anti-Opium Committee has been formally established.
The task of our branch is to cooperate with the Anti-Smoking Committee to forcibly ban all tobacco pipes in Shichahai, confiscate opium and pipes, and detain all the owners of tobacco shops and their thugs.

When necessary, it is allowed to use weapons and resolve problems by force.

Let’s start assigning tasks.
......"

When Lin Zheng finished assigning the tasks,
The public security soldiers began to receive weapons and equipment, and then, under the leadership of Lin Zheng and Wang Defa, set out to ban all the big and small tobacco pipes in Shichahai.
He Yuzhu, Ye Dapeng and other comrades from the motor vehicle class naturally followed behind in their trucks.

Since the broadcast started at noon today, the residents of Shichahai have been paying close attention to the activities of the police station.
Seeing the soldiers coming out fully armed,
I immediately followed to watch the fun.

The group came to a smoking house near the branch. Lin Zheng waved his hand and the public security soldiers immediately surrounded the place.

Then he took his men and prepared to go in and seal off the smoking den.

However, for an industry as lucrative as opium, it is impossible for the tobacco pipe owners to give in just because of a document from the State Council.

Seeing the soldiers from the branch coming,
The boss inside came out immediately, and while speaking, the old man also skillfully handed over some tributes.

"Director Lin, thank you for coming. I hope you will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar. What brings you here today?"

But who is Lin Zheng? He just gave the boss a cold look.
Then he looked at the price in his hand.

"We are following the order of the Peking Anti-Smoking Committee to ban all smoking houses in the city. We hope you will actively cooperate."

Seeing Lin Zheng's businesslike manner, the tobacco shop owner's face turned cold for a moment, then he immediately put on a smile again.
"Lin Ju Lin Ju, it's not that bad,
Didn't the radio say that we ordinary people should voluntarily surrender and quit smoking? This is only the first day, there is no need to be in a hurry! " "The radio is talking about ordinary people, it has nothing to do with you,
Step aside!

Don’t force us to do it ourselves.”

Seeing that Lin Zheng was unmoved, the owner of the tobacco shop turned cold and pulled out two pistols from his clothes, pointing them at Lin Zheng.

"Let's see who dares!
I'm not scared of anything, you can ban it if you want."

As the owner of the tobacco shop pulled out his gun,
His thugs also drew their guns and knives, ready to resist with force.
The soldiers of the branch pulled the bolts of their rifles in unison.
Confront them.

As for the neighbors who were watching, they immediately ran away when they saw the two sides were on the verge of a fight. After finding cover in the corner, they continued to look over here with excitement on their faces.

Looking at the muzzle of the gun in front of him, Lin Zheng was not afraid at all. He looked at the owner of the tobacco shop with a smile.

"Do you think you can get out of here today?"

"so what,
Since ancient times, people have died for money and birds have died for food. This opium den is the goose that lays golden eggs. I have run it well for so many years. Why can you ban it just like that?

At worst, we can die together.
With you, the branch director, as my scapegoat, I've made a profit anyway."

Looking at these stubborn guys, Lin Zheng was not afraid, and he was not polite to them at all, treating them directly as enemies.
That means they turned hostile without giving those guys any time to react.

Suddenly the order came.

"Do it!"

Upon hearing the order, all the soldiers in the branch pulled the trigger reflexively.

With the sound of "bang bang bang" gunshots, the tobacco shop owner and his men were caught off guard and all received their lunch boxes.

Looking at the tobacco shop owner lying on the ground with eyes wide open and a look of disbelief,

Lin Zheng shook his head disdainfully.
"Since you are ready to resist with force, can I give you time to react?"

Then he waved to the soldiers.
"Search!"

Seeing the public security soldiers entering the smoking den in battle formation with their guns drawn, the neighbors who were watching the excitement from a distance finally came to their senses.
"Director Lin is really amazing. He caught Liu Sangouzi, the owner of the opium den, by surprise."

"Yes, this man who remains calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai is just like Director Lin. In ancient times, this was the demeanor of a great general!"

Some neighbors boasted about Lin Zheng's prowess.

Some neighbors applauded the death of the tobacco shop owner Liu.

Good! Good job! I have long disliked these opium den owners, and today they finally got their comeuppance.

Public Security Comrades, well done!

Even some neighbors whose families were destroyed by the opium den suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

Soon, some soldiers moved the opium and utensils from the warehouse and piled them in the open space in front of the door, waiting to be registered.

Some soldiers dragged out the smokers who were dizzy from smoking and threw them on the ground.
Then he called out to the neighbors in the distance to come and claim it.

Some of the neighbors saw their family members being "rescued" by the police soldiers and immediately ran forward.
