Siheyuan, my new life

It was Director Han of the police station who stood up and shouted loudly: "Everyone, be quiet." Hearing the public security personnel's shouts, the residents present shut their mouths one after another. Deep down, everyone still had a natural fear of these uniformed cadres of the national law enforcement agencies.

At this time, Zhou Xiu had already sat down, and the next thing to do was to deal with the police station and the court.

Director Han scanned the residents at the scene and spoke loudly: "Comrades from Courtyard No. 95, I am Han Weiguo, the director of Jiaodaokou Police Station. Everyone has heard Secretary Zhou's speech just now. Now, on behalf of Jiaodaokou Police Station, I will inform you of the results of the investigation into Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang. After investigation by the public security personnel of Jiaodaokou Police Station, Yi Zhonghai deliberately concealed the state's propaganda on cracking down on feudal superstition activities, and at the same time colluded with the former manager, the third uncle Yan Bugui, to forge study report materials. Now, after interrogating Yan Bugui, who is undergoing labor reform at Qinghe Farm, Yan Bugui has confessed the crime. At that time, Yi Zhonghai found Yan Bugui and asked him to write a study report on his behalf. Yan Bugui did not agree at that time. As an elementary school teacher, he was of course aware of this behavior. Yi Zhonghai promised to give Yan Bugui ten yuan as a so-called writing fee, and promised to give Yan Bugui's eldest son Yan Jiecheng an apprenticeship at the Red Star Steel Mill when he was old enough. He also wrote a receipt to Yan Bugui on the spot. Yan Bugui, out of greed, wrote a completely fictitious and fabricated study report of more than 2,000 words in accordance with Yi Zhonghai's requirements. The original manager, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, was not aware of this matter. He just heard Yi Zhonghai say that he would deal with the matter, so Liu Haizhong did not ask any more questions. Regarding Yi Zhonghai's favoritism and shielding of Jia Zhang in the No. 95 courtyard, after interrogating Jia Zhang, she also explained. According to Jia Zhang's admission, after her husband died of a work-related injury, the cousins ​​of the Jia family came to ask for pensions and jobs in the steel mill, so Jia Zhang found She went to Yi Zhonghai and committed herself to him, but in return Yi Zhonghai had someone drive away the cousins ​​of the Jia family. From then on, the two of them often had trysts in the vegetable cellar in the middle courtyard. Jia Zhang, relying on Yi Zhonghai's favoritism and protection, began to steal and act like a rogue in the No. 95 courtyard. She also often summoned spirits in public and engaged in feudal superstitious activities. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai repeatedly used the excuse that the Jia family was in financial difficulties to call on the residents of the courtyard to donate. The things that Jia Zhang confessed have been basically confirmed by the investigation of the public security personnel of the police station. However, because Yi Zhonghai held the donation without the permission of the street office, the street office had already dealt with it and returned the donation, so the matter was no longer pursued. Yi Zhonghai had been colluding with the former manager, the second uncle, in the No. 95 courtyard for a long time. Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui, who is in charge of the courtyard, are the ones who have the final say and often illegally set up private courts. Under the banner of respecting the elderly and loving the young and uniting the neighbors, they hijack public opinion to achieve their own goals. Our Jiaodaokou Police Station has submitted all the illegal and criminal facts of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and others to the Dongcheng District Court. These criminals will be severely punished by national laws and regulations. Here I would like to remind all residents again that I hope everyone will abide by the law in the future. If conflicts arise, you can ask the uncle in charge of the courtyard to mediate. If you are not satisfied with the mediation of the uncle in charge, you can directly request a handling from the street office. In addition, if you find fighting, theft and other illegal and criminal situations, you must actively contact the police station and let the police station handle it. "

After Director Han finished speaking, Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office stood up and announced loudly: "Now, please invite Judge Zhao from the Dongcheng District Court to announce the verdict on Yi Zhonghai and others."

Hearing Director Wang's words, the residents of the courtyards present were all horrified. Although they had heard several times about Yi Zhonghai and others committing crimes in the speech of Chief Han of the police station, they had already guessed in their hearts that Yi Zhonghai was completely finished this time. Once he was confirmed to have committed a crime, he would be sentenced to prison, and he would not be able to keep his job at the Red Star Steel Mill. According to the regulations of all state-owned enterprises at that time, any worker cadre who was sentenced by the court would be directly dismissed and his job would be cancelled.

Judge Zhao stood up, holding several verdicts in his hand, and said with a serious look: "On behalf of the Dongcheng District Court of Beijing, I now officially announce the verdict on the following criminals. Yi Zhonghai has long been a one-man show in the No. 95 Siheyuan, using factions to deceive superiors and subordinates, favoring and shielding criminals, and deceiving organizations. After investigation and evidence collection by the Jiaodaokou Police Station and Jiaodaokou Street Office of Dongcheng District, the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. The Dongcheng District Court now makes the following verdict. The criminal Yi Zhonghai is sentenced to 20 years in prison and will be paraded through the streets for three days before being sent to the northwest to serve his sentence. The two east wing rooms in the middle court of the No. 95 Siheyuan under his name will be confiscated and handed over to the Jiaodaokou Street Office for disposal; the criminal Jia Zhang, whose real name is Zhang Xiaohua, is older than 10 years old. Under the partiality and protection of Yi Zhonghai, he often stole, acted like a scoundrel, and often engaged in feudal superstitious activities in the No. 95 courtyard. After investigation by the Jiaodaokou Police Station and the Jiaodaokou Street Office, the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Since Zhang Xiaohua was able to actively expose the crimes of other criminals during the interrogation and had meritorious service, the Dongcheng District Court made the following judgment: Zhang Xiaohua will be reformed through labor for two years, and will be paraded through the streets for three days before being sent to Qinghe Farm for reform through labor; the criminal Yan Bugui accepted bribes from Yi Zhonghai, forged study report materials, and jointly deceived the organization. The Dongcheng District Court made the following judgment, adding five years to his sentence. Dongcheng District Court January 7, 1957.

After hearing Judge Zhao's verdict, the residents of Courtyard No. 95 could not help but whisper to each other. Although they had guessed that Yi Zhonghai would be sentenced this time, they did not expect that he would be sentenced so severely. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison and was sent to Northwest China to serve his sentence. It was estimated that the possibility of survival was slim.

After Judge Zhao and Clerk Sun announced the Dongcheng District Court's verdict and handed it over to Chief Han of the police station, they were about to go back. Zhou Xiu immediately asked Sun Yong to go back and drive the two comrades home with their bicycles.

After seeing off the two comrades from the Dongcheng District Court, Zhou Xiu and others returned to the meeting place of the Intermediate Court. At this time, the residents of Courtyard No. 95 were still whispering in groups of three or five, discussing the verdict of Yi Zhonghai and others.
