The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 137: Stay

The eighth day of the Lunar New Year, 5:30 pm.

In a hidden alley in Xinjiekou.

Li Weiguo, Zhao Guobing and Zhou Can were sitting in a corner, with Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun beside them.

The five of them have been squatting here for a while, and today is the day they capture Cui Zhi.

Since the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun have been tracking Cui Zhi non-stop.

No, we have confirmed this kid's activity pattern, and we are just waiting for him to die today.

"Shanzi, when will Cui Zhi come over?" Li Weiguo asked Zheng Shan who was standing aside.

Zheng Shan explained: "Usually he will come here a little after six o'clock. Xiaojun and I have been squatting with him for several days. This kid is very thief. He waits for the person who handles it to get off work before bringing people out to do business. "

Li Weiguo nodded when he heard this. If the time is not up, he will wait again, and it will not be less than this time and a half.

"Okay, just wait for him for a while."

Then, he turned to Zhao Guobing and asked, "Guobing, did your neighbor say hello?"

Zhao Guobing said: "Don't worry, we have already agreed. He is still waiting for our news and can come over at any time."

"Okay, then let's wait until he falls into the urn."

Of course, the main purpose of investment/speculation/operation is the buying and selling of large quantities of materials. Generally, people will not care about small fights as long as they don't hit the muzzle of someone's gun.

After all, traders are also human beings and they have to live. Small-scale material transfers or exchanges are usually done with a blind eye.

Therefore, before going to work or after get off work, spontaneous trading gatherings like the Pigeon Market will spring up from all over the imperial capital to secretly conduct various small-scale transactions of materials or tickets.

Li Weiguo and the others are waiting for Cui Zhi, waiting for him to come over to buy and sell tickets, and then give him a personal share of the stolen goods.

Although the existence of Pigeon City is that the higher-ups turned a blind eye, it would be a big deal if they were really caught and put online.

The mild cases include having things confiscated and being criticized and educated, while the worst cases include being forced to sit in a police station for several years, or even worse, having to eat peanuts.

It is now the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and all units in the imperial capital have basically resumed work, including the department. Li Weiguo and the others have taken leave and come out specifically to work.

Soon, six o'clock arrived, the time to get off work, and the flow of people on the street outside gradually increased.

In the distance, Cui Zhi and two younger brothers appeared from nowhere and were walking this way.

When Yang Xiaojun saw it, he immediately became energetic and quickly patted Li Weiguo beside him: "Commander, look, Cui Zhi is here." After saying that, he pursed his lips in the distance.

Li Weiguo and others looked over after hearing this, and sure enough, Cui Zhi and others had arrived.

Cui Zhi and the others were quite leisurely. They put their hands in their sleeves and walked around leisurely, chatting and laughing. It was so leisurely.

When he reached an alley, Cui Zhi glanced around and felt nothing was unusual, so he went straight in with his two younger brothers.

The alley Cui Zhi entered was a small pigeon market that formed spontaneously. Every afternoon after get off work, a group of people gathered here to trade various materials and tickets. It was a place where Cui Zhi and others often did business.

There were not many people inside at this time, only seven or eight people trading inside.

Some were buying and selling coupons, others were squatting in corners with vegetable baskets as cover, preparing coarse grains for fine grains, and some were squatting on the ground with all kinds of dry goods in their bags, waiting for customers to come to their door.

This kind of small pigeon market usually involves transactions between regular customers. When strangers come, they will be very wary, and there will be people watching at the alley.

Moreover, the alleys extend in all directions and the terrain is complex. If there is any disturbance, they will move out of the way, making it very hidden and safe.

"Weiguo, they've gone in, shall we go over now?" This was Zhou Can's first time squatting, and when he saw Cui Zhi and others entering, he couldn't stand it.

Li Weiguo pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't panic, you have to wait for him to do a few business deals first, and everyone will get the stolen goods."

"All right."

Zhou Can also knew that he was impatient, so he had to be patient and continue to follow him.

Maybe it was the beginning of the New Year, and the business in the pigeon market was pretty good. Not long after, a few regular customers came, and they quickly exchanged a few food stamps and meat stamps from Cui Zhi, and then left.

The guy selling dry goods was also doing a good business. In a short time, he sold out all the dry goods in his bag and exchanged them for seven or eight cents.

As for the guy who exchanged fine grains for coarse grains, no one exchanged with him for a long time. There were quite a few people asking him if he could sell the grains. After all, grains are expensive now, and everyone wants to trade less for more and get more meals, unless the family conditions are very poor. Okay, otherwise few people would be willing to trade coarse grains for fine grains during this season.

After almost half an hour, Li Weiguo felt that he was almost done, so he turned to Zhao Guobing and said: "Guobing, it's almost done. Go call someone."

"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go." Zhao Guobing nodded, stood up and was about to leave.

Before he could leave, Li Weiguo said again: "By the way, when people arrive soon, you lead them and rush in directly. We will be responsible for blocking the alleys in front and behind."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Guobing made a clear gesture, then turned and left.

After Zhao Guobing left, Li Weiguo said to Zheng Shan and others: "Zheng Shanqian, Xiaojun, and Zhou Can will block the end of the alley for a while. I will block them directly from the front. Remember, catch Cui Zhi directly and let everyone else go." , don’t worry about it, understand?”

"Understood, Chief." x2

"No problem." Zhou Can also nodded.

Pigeon City itself is a place where people exchange some daily necessities. It is enough to arrest the main characters. There is no need to bring other innocent people with them. After all, the crime of speculation is not small. If one person is not good, he will harm other people's families. son.

They also didn't want to end up harming seven or eight innocent families just to deal with one Cui Zhi. This would be pure evil.

After finalizing the matter, Zheng Shan's trio quietly walked around in a large circle, taking another road directly to the exit behind the alley, while Li Weiguo continued to stay where he was.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Guobing led people over.

I saw him riding a bicycle, followed by three administrative staff, four people and four cars, heading straight for Li Wei.

Li Weiguo turned around and glanced. When the time came, he immediately took out a mask and hat from his pocket, put it on, got up and walked towards Cui Zhi's alley.

At this time, the small pigeon market in the alley was still carrying out various transactions. Cui Zhizheng was bargaining with a customer selling food stamps there, unaware of the upcoming danger.
