Chapter 56: Wanted for the First Time in Two Lifetimes
Seeing He Daqing's incredulous expression, Yan Bugui shook his head.

"No,
We are just ordinary people, how dare we go against the Bureau of Secrets?

Except for the one or two hundred kilograms of coarse grains I bought with the gold yuan coupons during the reform, I exchanged the rest of the money for opium.

In addition, Yang Ruihua was found to be pregnant again some time ago.

This food consumption is a bit high.

The little food stored at home is almost gone.

I originally wanted to exchange the hard goods in my hand for some gold yuan coupons to buy grain, but it happened to be the time when the Bureau of Secrets came to inspect. Not only did the grain store not accept gold yuan coupons, it also closed directly.

So, Lao He, you see...,"

When Yan Bugui said this, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Xu Fugui, and Jia Zhangshi all felt their faces burning.

He also looked at He Daqing with a flattering face.

Seeing this, He Daqing knew that they were performing for him.
The purpose is naturally the food in one's own home.

Although the family had more than 1000 kilograms of food, He Daqing was not prepared to give it away for free.

"I know what you mean.
I have been a neighbor for so many years, I can't just stand by and watch him die.
I can lend you food.

But let's make it clear in advance, I don't want money or opium, I just want food.
When the grain store opens, you must buy as much grain as I lend you and return it to me. Not a pound more or less."

After saying this, He Daqing looked at Jia Zhang again.

"Sister Zhang, I remember that we had more than 200 kilograms of flour left after Brother Jia's funeral.

You don’t need to borrow it.”

Hearing He Daqing mention the 200 kilograms of flour in his home, Jia Zhang was quite embarrassed.

But for the sake of food, she had to explain something to He Daqing.
"What are you talking about, Lao He? Don't you know what kind of family I come from? Dongxu and I don't dare to eat white flour every meal.

I sold the flour a long time ago and used the money to buy opium.

do not worry,
As soon as the grain store opens, I will exchange the money for grain and will definitely return the grain to you in its original condition."

Now opium is as hard currency as the ocean.

Are you not afraid of the secret service coming to investigate?

In the past month or so, many people in Beijing have bought some and stored them at home.
If He Daqing hadn't considered the old lady's feelings, he would have done the same.

So when Jia Zhang finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, but he still didn't give them food directly, but instead played it safe.

"Okay,
In that case, come back to me when you have finished eating all the food.
We'll write an IOU then."

After getting He Daqing's promise, Yan Bugui and his men breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about food for the time being.

the next day,
Perhaps influenced by the Zhengyang Gate, food looting incidents occurred in various districts of Beiping.

But compared to yesterday when the people were just starving and smashing shops to steal food in order to survive,
Today, there are many different flavors.

There were many vicious thugs in the food-grabbing team.

Even some grain store owners took advantage of the situation and hired people to smash and destroy their competitors' shops and steal the grain in their warehouses.

He Yuzhu, who was resting at home, heard the news and prepared to go out and look for opportunities.

See if we can get some more food.

After packing up a bit, He Yuzhu walked out of the courtyard and headed straight towards Dongzhimen.
But just as he crossed Jiaodaokou Street and arrived at the Haiyun Warehouse near Dongzhimen,

I saw teams of military police patrolling.
I even saw a few reward notices on the roadside posters.
From a distance, I saw the only poster with a picture on it. It showed a wanted criminal wearing a top hat and sunglasses, holding a bottle of Coke, but his face was completely invisible.
He Yuzhu came closer with great interest.

After trying to decipher the traditional Chinese characters for a while, he roughly figured out the content. It said that the armed robber was about 13 or 4 years old, spoke with a duck-like mountain city accent, and was extremely good at disguising himself...

On September 9, they exchanged tens of thousands of silver dollars at the Chaoyangmen and Wangfujing Street gold and silver markets, and robbed the Bureau of Secrets of 14 million catties of grain in broad daylight.

We hope all concerned citizens will actively provide clues.
Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded 1 yuan in gold coupons.

If the person is captured, there will be a reward of 5 yuan in gold yuan coupons.

Special Note:

The criminal was holding a Colt M1911 pistol with an unknown number of bullets, but the possibility of a high-powered weapon could not be ruled out.

We hope that all the enthusiastic citizens who provide clues will be cautious and not act on their own.
Report to the Confidentiality Bureau promptly.

September 29th, the thirty-sixth year of old summer.

Several other notices read:

This bandit is extremely vicious and his marksmanship is ruthless.
On August 8, he bought 26 kilograms of grain near Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen, and killed four elite members of the Security Bureau.

……

Report to Chaoyangmen Grain Customs in a timely manner;
The number of members in the gang is unknown, but they act meticulously and come and go without a trace.
In the early morning of August 8, they hijacked 24 military vehicles, 27 million gold yuan notes, and countless guns and ammunition in Shichahai.
……

Report to the Shichahai Gendarmerie in a timely manner.

Although these three notices described different people and did not have specific portraits, He Yuzhu knew at a glance that they were wanted notices for him.

have to say,

These people in both the black and white circles in Beijing are quite capable.

Except for the inaccurate amount of food, weapons and ammunition, they basically found out everything I had done.

It is because of the system that they cannot find things and cannot lock themselves.
Otherwise, He Yuzhu would have been exposed long ago.

As for the remaining notices,

It describes the organization of robbery of grain stores, the murder of certain important figures, etc.
He Yuzhu originally thought that it had nothing to do with him.
But when he heard the words of the passers-by who were also gathered under the notice to watch the fun, he realized that he was also the one wanted on the notice.

Don't look closely.

He Yuzhu knew that this was the secret service, the military police and some miscellaneous people, who were trying to settle accounts and debts.

He took all the blame for the bad things they did on himself.

He Yuzhu was secretly depressed.
At this time, someone in the crowd asked his friend,
"Old Li, except for the grain robbery which happened yesterday, the other things have happened a long time ago.

Why are you offering a reward now?"

"Hey, you don't know this,
I heard from my second uncle who works in the Security Bureau that these people are in the same group.
Just think about what the 500 million gold yuan notes meant some time ago. That was a huge amount of money, and naturally both the black and white worlds wanted to keep it for themselves.

But they searched for more than a month.
This group of people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no clue at all.

Now looking back, the gold yuan is in such a mess, isn't it still the same rhythm as the legal currency? Of course, the credit for catching Huh Huh is more attractive to them. "

In front of so many people, he didn't dare to mention the Eighth Master and could only make a gesture.

His friend nodded in understanding.

Then I changed the subject.

"Old Li, speaking of the reward, it must be 1 or 20.

Don’t you have any ideas?”
