Chapter 237 Yan Bugui is still thinking about the gun (55)
Although Jia Zhang was very happy, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were in no mood to care about the nonsense she was talking about.
They all looked at He Yuzhu and asked,
"Zhu Zi, Lao Yan's case can't be considered as selling cigarettes, otherwise it would affect too many people."
Just as He Yuzhu knew that Jia Zhangshi was not a special person, he naturally knew that Yan Bugui had nothing to do with the tobacco trafficking.
The reason why he said this was actually to scare them.
I want to see how they react.
Now seeing that these neighbors were all scared, He Yuzhu naturally decided to stop while he was ahead.
"Uncle, we all know that a few years ago, opium was as hard currency as the ocean.
So it was not just our neighbors in the Siheyuan, even if we enlarged the whole of Peking, or even the whole of Daxia, there were quite a lot of people who exchanged legal tender and gold yuan coupons for opium.
Then when needed, exchange the opium for money.
If even this is considered trafficking, then the impact is really huge. At least half of the people in Daxia will have to become special population.
This goes against the leadership's policy of "uniting the majority and striking down a handful".
Therefore, Uncle Yan's behavior of using opium to protect his own property cannot be considered trafficking, and naturally has nothing to do with special population.
You can rest assured. "
When they heard He Yuzhu say that Yan Bugui was not a special population, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Yan Bugui doesn't count, then they naturally don't count either.
Which means it's alright.
While Yi Zhonghai and the others were relieved, Yan Bugui did not intend to argue with Jia Zhang about the fight. He just wanted to get over it quickly to avoid any more trouble later.
"Old Yi, I just thought about it. Since the street government doesn't care about the fights among us ordinary people,
Then we won't waste your time and just solve it privately.
Weren't you just about to say something?
Speak now."
What do you mean solve it privately? The neighbors in the courtyard all know that Yan Bugui actually doesn't intend to pursue the matter any further. This is just a way for him to save face.
But it's a good thing this way. Today's Siheyuan meeting has just begun, and all the neighbors in the courtyard have become special populations.
Since Yan Bugui didn't want to continue arguing, the neighbors were naturally happy about it.
So everyone urged Yi Zhonghai tacitly.
And Yi Zhonghai naturally didn't waste any words.
"Well, since Old Yan, the victim, has said he won't pursue the matter, let's just let it go.
Let’s talk about the bombing mentioned in today’s newspaper.
What do I want to say?
Even now, the foreign devils have arrived at our doorsteps, bombed our cities, and killed our compatriots.
Although Dandong is far away from Beijing,
However, the actions of the foreign devils have greatly stimulated the arrogance of those hidden spies. If these spies become active now, they may do something extreme.
What happened in the Siheyuan today was ultimately caused by these spies.
The managers were selected from each courtyard just to cooperate with the street government and the branch office to better maintain the public order in the city of Beiping and catch hidden spies.
So now we have two choices.
One is that we fulfilled our duties as the managers and led everyone to actively respond to the call of the street government and pay more attention to the movements on the street.
If you find spies and thugs spreading rumors, notify the next police station or patrol team in time and try to clean up these hidden guys as soon as possible to restore a peaceful and tranquil environment to our Peking.
Of course, there are some dangers in doing this.
The second is to do the same as what Old Yan and the others did today, ignore everything, close the door and live your life.
Wait for this storm to pass on its own."
The neighbors in the Siheyuan are actually some bullies.
When facing their neighbors in the courtyard, they can be as arrogant as they want, but when asked to go out to deal with spies and gangsters, they are as timid as can be.
I was afraid of being implicated and retaliated against by the spies.
If they followed their own wishes, they would definitely live their own lives behind closed doors, just like the storm more than 10 years later.
Try not to get involved in this kind of thing.
But what we didn't expect was that there was also a man named He Yuzhu who worked in the police station living in the courtyard.
They are afraid that if they say they don't want to do anything,
He Yuzhu disagreed.
So after Yi Zhonghai gave two options, they all looked at He Yuzhu and asked for his opinion.
At this time, Yan Bugui did not hesitate to belittle himself.
"Zhu Zi, your father and Lao Yi have to go to work on weekdays, so there are only the elderly, weak, women and children left in the yard.
Uncle Yan, I am a useless person.
I remember when the country was just liberated, you said that besides the Thompson, you had two pistols. Do you think you could take them out and place them in the courtyard for everyone to defend themselves?
We helped the street government deal with the spies, and we were more or less confident when maintaining order."
Hearing Yan Bugui mention He Yuzhu's two pistols,
Not only old neighbors like Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong who knew about this matter, but also newcomers like Jiang Sheng and Chen Zhijie were very interested.
Only Jia Zhang heard Yan Bugui asking He Yuzhu to give him a gun.
Suddenly I couldn't sit still anymore.
"Zhu Zi, you can't give the weapon to Yan Bugui. If the old man stabs me in the back, you will be in big trouble."
Thinking that he had just let Jia Zhang go, and in the blink of an eye she stood up to oppose him again,
Yan Bugui immediately became unhappy.
"Mrs. Zhang, we have been neighbors for decades. Don't you all know who I, Yan Bugui, am?
How could I possibly shoot you in the back? You think too much."
"That's not my business.
Zhuzi just can't hand the thing over to you,
Otherwise, I will go to the branch office and the street government to find Director Lin and Director Li. I want to see what they say.
Today, Tian Zao and his gang dared to lead a large group of neighbors to catch spies on the street with bare hands, but why did you, a few grown men, insist that Zhuzi give you the gun?
I think you have bad intentions.
And with the way you look, even if Zhuzi gave you the gun, would you dare to shoot at the spy?
Don't get so scared that you pee your pants and let those spies shoot you to death.
It doesn’t matter if you, Yan Bugui, are beaten to death, but please don’t bring trouble to our courtyard. The old lady and Yu Shui are in the courtyard.”
He Yuzhu knew that Jia Zhang's last words were meant for him.
But in fact, He Yuzhu himself was not willing to hand over the pistol to Yan Bugui and the others, so after Jia Zhangshi finished talking to Yan Bugui, he said very naturally,
"Uncle Yan, since Aunt Zhang doesn't agree, let's forget about the gun.
I don’t want anything to happen to Yu Shui and the others.”
