Chapter 32 The End of Being a Dog

At first, He Yuzhu thought he was reading news about the gold yuan reform again.

But then I thought about it and it wasn't right.

After so many days of fermentation, I'm sure everyone knows about the gold yuan coupons, but it's impossible for it to attract so many people's attention.

So He Yuzhu leaned forward and listened again.
I found out that they were discussing the affairs of the Security Team and the Military Police.

It turned out that Gao Shigui and other officials were to be taken to Caishikou outside Xuanwu Gate and shot that afternoon.

The charges were deceiving superiors and subordinates, levying heavy taxes, and taking human life, which seemed ridiculous to He Yuzhu.

Not only He Yuzhu didn't believe it,

Even the neighbors who were reading the posters on site didn't quite believe it.

"Come on, old horse,

It doesn't matter to us ordinary people whether we believe it or not.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Gao Shigui and his gang were executed because they lost 500 million gold yuan notes.
The charges written on the wall poster are just excuses.”

"Of course I know these are all excuses,

But you are too hasty, you just arrested them yesterday, why are you in such a hurry to execute them today?"

"Hey, don't you see what day it is today?
Three days have passed since the 23rd, and the exchange of gold yuan coupons in Shichahai has been suspended during these three days.
Seeing us take real money to other cities to exchange for gold yuan coupons,
Who isn’t anxious!
First, execute Gao Shigui and his gang, appease us common people, and then reassign people to preside over the exchange work.
Isn't this money coming again? "

After hearing this, not only Uncle Ma, but also other neighbors at the scene nodded, thinking that this was right.

"Too,
Don't be fooled by Gao Shigui and his gang who usually show off in front of us. They are just a few dogs at best.
Kill them, there are still countless people who want to be dogs,

The dog is killed, so of course the money is more important."

"Old Li, if you say so, I think Gao Shigui and his gang may have been abandoned from the beginning.
Let them take charge of exchanging gold yuan notes first.
Once the gold yuan issue is resolved and the money is in hand, we can use their heads to appease the grievances of the common people.

Otherwise, it is hard to say whether the higher-ups would kill him so decisively. "

“I just realized what it means!
I even doubt whether you are from the imperial city. Isn't this an obvious thing?
We have seen very little since we were young. "

……

Seeing that the neighbors were just talking and sighing, He Yuzhu was about to go home for dinner.
At this time, I heard Uncle Ma ask,

"Speaking of those gold yuan notes, I remember that we also lost several hundred guns.

Do you think the four thugs who were beaten to death at Chaoyang Gate today have any connection with the group of gold yuan thieves?"

Seeing that Uncle Ma was asking about this matter that concerned him, He Yuzhu stopped walking.

When the neighbors heard Uncle Ma say there were hundreds of guns, they immediately started to refute.
"Uncle Ma, you really believe it!

If there really were hundreds of guns, our Peking headquarters would have moved troops into the city long ago.

But now there is no movement at all.

I think at most the soldiers put a few guns in the car.
The so-called hundreds of guns were just the officials who were reselling supplies on a daily basis taking the opportunity to settle their accounts.

As for the four thugs who were beaten to death at Chaoyang Gate today,
I think it was gangsters from other districts who crossed the line and were beaten to death by our people.
It has nothing to do with the gold yuan issue."

The neighbors all agree with the idea of ​​balancing the accounts.

After all, the wealthy and powerful families in Nanluoguxiang all have guns, and some wealthy families even have standard weapons from the army.
Everyone knows how it came about.
As for the gangster thing, everyone is used to it.
It's a bloody business, it's glamorous,
But there is today but no tomorrow, it's just a topic of conversation after dinner.

"I heard that the four thugs who were beaten to death were from the outer city Lin Wuye's men. Do you think Wuye will bring people to take revenge?" "How is that possible!

Not to mention that the dead ones are just rotten fish and shrimp,

Mr. Lin Wu finally managed to get a lucrative job supervising the exchange of gold yuan notes at the banks in Xijiaominxiang.
There is no time to make money.

I don't have time to care about my little brother's affairs.

Besides, even if someone saw this, who would dare to come forward to testify?
Not to mention that you have offended someone, Master Lin Wu will not remember your kindness. At the very least, he will leave you with an intact corpse, or at the worst, he will betray you.
Who dares!

Without evidence, who do you want Mr. Lin Wu to take revenge on?

You can't just bring people here to kill indiscriminately!"

"That's right. Master Lin Wu didn't even let his wife and uncle go. Who dares to get involved with him?

Besides, this world is not about fighting and killing.

They are just a few hooligans, so making money is more important!"

Listen to them here.
Since those witnesses would probably not dare to tip off Lin Wenhua, even if they did, they might not be able to find him.

He Yuzhu didn't plan to listen any further.

His stomach is growling with hunger now, and he has to go home for dinner.

Back at the courtyard, He Daqing was cooking at home. As soon as he saw He Yuzhu, he frowned and asked,

"You haven't been seen all morning, where have you been?
You didn’t go to Chaoyang Gate, did you? "

Knowing that it was the Chaoyang Gate that killed someone, He Daqing was a little worried about him, so He Yuzhu just said casually,

"I went to Yandaixie Street to play with Sister Zao and the others.

Oh, Dad, where is Yushui? It’s almost time for dinner, why is he still in the backyard? "

Hearing that He Yuzhu had gone to look for Tian Zao's group of kids as usual, He Daqing didn't ask any more questions.
"I just asked her to go to the backyard and ask the old lady to come over for dinner.
Please clean up the table, and after dinner we will go to Caishikou.

Gao Shigui and his men are going to be shot, we have to go and see them, just as a way to avenge your uncle Jia."

He Yuzhu did not object when he heard He Daqing said he wanted to go to Xuanwumen to watch the execution.
But thinking about what happened this morning, he decided to change his clothes first. After all, it is better to be cautious.
"okay,
I'll change my clothes after dinner. I got too hot this morning and I feel sticky all over."

"It just so happens that the clothes you washed yesterday are all dry. Just change the clothes and wash them."

While the father and son were talking, He Yushui and the deaf old lady also walked into the main room.
"Brother, you're back!

Where have you been? Brother Damao and the other two have been looking for you all morning."

Seeing his sister jumping in, He Yuzhu, who was cleaning the table, smiled and said a few words, then greeted the deaf old lady.

Soon, He Daqing brought the steamed buns and corn porridge to the table.

After lunch, He Yuzhu filled a basin with cold water and wiped his body, then started washing clothes.

Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi, who had just finished their meal, came running over.

"Zhu Zi, where did you go this morning? You didn't even take us with you."

Looking at the two people who looked unhappy, He Yuzhu smiled and said while rubbing the clothes,

"I went to play with Sister Zao.
I'm going to take you two out. Uncle Xu and Uncle Liu will beat me up if they find out."
