Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said.

"Uncle Zhang, one of the two people here today is to wish you and Auntie a happy New Year, and the other is to ask for your help with something.

I don’t know who spread rumors about me near the courtyard where I live recently, saying that I am rich but unkind. This is trying to kill me.

I want you to find someone to investigate and find out who is behind this. With bad guys like this around me, I have to keep one eye open even when I sleep."

Zhang Xueyi thought about it for a moment and was also wondering who was targeting Zhao Shanhe.

After all, the other party is a section chief after all, and most people would not dare to do such a thing as slandering a D-level cadre.

"Give me some time on this matter. I'll send someone down to ask. If we find the person who spread the rumor, how are you going to deal with him?"

"Uncle Zhang, if you really find out who did it, just tell me, don't do it yourself.

You have just been promoted, and many people are watching you. It would be terrible if someone caught you doing something wrong."

"Then you should go back and wait for news. This matter is still very simple for the police. I am also very curious now, who doesn't want to live a good life and come to mess with you."

The matter came to light within a few days. Zhang Xueyi sent someone to tell Zhao Shanhe that the people who spread rumors about him were actually Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. However, these two people had deep roots, and Zhang Xueyi did not want to confront Leader Wang, so he came to tell Zhao Shanhe to be careful when handling the matter and not to be caught.

What Zhao Shanhe was thinking was that ever since he got the golden finger, he has always been kind to others and pretended not to see many things that happened to the Lao Yang faction. But since Lao Yi, you are so unkind to me, then I won’t play any friendship games with you. If I don’t treat you harshly, do you really think I am a loser?

In fact, Yi Zhonghai was forced into a helpless situation. After several consecutive failed donation attempts, his money was wasted and the people around him dispersed. He realized that as long as he didn't deal with Zhao Shanhe and Xu Damao in this courtyard, it would be useless no matter how much money he spent to gather people, and he would not be able to control the courtyard at all.

So he shamelessly found a way from the deaf old lady, which was to spread rumors. It took a lot of effort to spread rumors, but it took a lot of effort to refute them. He thought that this method would at least make Xu Damao and Zhao Shanhe suffer a lot of damage, but he never expected that Zhao Shanhe was so well hidden and directly colluded with the police chief.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of work after the New Year. Yang Limin prepared mutton soup for the opening banquet, which was considered to be a way to show his respect to the employees. When several people in the courtyard went home after get off work in the evening, Zhao Shanhe followed behind and was ready to attack Lao Yi.

Wearing a set of black clothes bought from the tall and thin man, he took advantage of the night (it was dark in Beijing at around 60 o'clock in late January 1) and rushed over from behind with a brick and hit Lao Yi in the head. It was because he didn't want to kill anyone, otherwise Lao Yi would have announced his exit with a brick.

Before Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu could react, Zhao Shanhe turned around and ran away. With the power of the Five Pillars, Sha Zhu and the others could only see an afterimage. Even so, Sha Zhu chased after him, leaving only Liu Haizhong who was staring blankly and Jia Dongxu who was already scared silly.

Less than two minutes later, Sha Zhu ran back and Jia Dongxu walked up to him and asked.

"Zhu Zi, did you catch up with him?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and replied with gritted teeth.

"He ran too fast, and it was dark and there were so many alleys, so we couldn't catch him. How is the old man? I see his face is covered in blood. We should take him to the hospital."

After listening to Sha Zhu's words, Liu Haizhong remembered that there was an injured old man, so he hurriedly sent Yi Zhonghai to the hospital with Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai's injury was actually not serious, but it looked scary. He got stitches and wrapped in gauze and returned to the courtyard. He also tasted the smell. It must have been Zhao Shanhe who did it today. No one else could run that fast.

The four people entered Guangliang Gate and did not go home, but went straight to Zhao Shanhe's house.

"Zhao Shanhe, come out. What kind of hero are you if you beat someone up and then run away? If you have the ability, come out and show us a few tricks."

This was said by Jia Dongxu. Sha Zhu didn't have the courage to go to Zhao Shanhe's house to make trouble. That was because Jia Dongxu was in the front and didn't see Sha Zhu ready to run away at any time.

Zhao Shanhe had already entered the small world, changed his clothes and took a shower. He was chatting with Chen Xueru at home. When he heard the voice, he opened the door and said.

"Jia Dongxu, why are you here to make trouble so late at night instead of staying at home? What's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai pushed Jia Dongxu away, walked closer and spoke to Zhao Shanhe.

"Zhao Shanhe, don't think that no one will know if you beat someone up and run away. Let me tell you, we have several witnesses who can identify you as the one who beat someone up. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will report it to the police."

Zhao Shanhe looked at Yi Zhonghai's head which was similar to Danzo's and burst out laughing.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? You don't have a hat, so why bother telling me? Wrapping your head with gauze in the middle of winter won't protect you from the wind."

These words almost made Yi Zhonghai angry. He glared at Zhao Shanhe and said.

"Zhao Shanhe, don't play dumb. It was you who hit me with a brick after get off work. There were several people watching me here. Shazhu, Dongxu, do you think he was the one who hit me?"

Jia Dongxu immediately stepped forward and spoke side by side with Lao Yi.

"Master, he was the one who hit you. I saw it clearly."

Lao Yi waited for a long time but didn't hear the voices of Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu. When he turned around, he saw that the two of them had run into the Chuihua Gate.

Liu Haizhong didn't want to have a conflict with Zhao Shanhe, the section chief. What if he had to ask for help in the future, it wouldn't be him, the second uncle, who would be beaten.

Sha Zhu was really scared. In fact, he only saw a black shadow flash past him, and then Yi Zhonghai fell down. After that, when he tried to chase him, he could only see a guy in black clothes and didn't see his face at all.

It would be fine if the accusation was correct, but if Zhao Shanhe didn't do it, he was afraid that the other party would cause trouble for him and beat him up again, which would be too much to do.

Zhao Shanhe gave a wicked smile.

"Uncle No. 1, are you and your apprentice performing crosstalk here? You were singing and drinking, and you said I hit you, but only Jia Dongxu said he saw it. I don't know whether the police station will recognize this testimony of the master-apprentice relationship, but I went home after get off work, and Uncle No. 3's family can testify for me.

If you want to call the police, go ahead. I'm going back now. Don't disturb my sleep."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking. He was not only angry at Zhao Shanhe for hitting him, but also angry at Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu for deserting the battlefield.

He grabbed Jia Dongxu's clothes and turned back to the middle courtyard. He had to find the old lady in the backyard and ask her to come up with a way to deal with Zhao Shanhe.

Even so, Jia Dongxu still refused to give in.

"Master, why are we leaving? Let's go to the police station and report it. Just say we saw Zhao Shanhe beat you. I don't believe the police won't arrest him."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and said.

"Dongxu, what Zhao Shanhe said is right. You are my apprentice, and the police may not listen to you. Besides, Zhao Shanhe's running speed is the fastest in the city. He must have been in the yard a long time ago, waiting for us to find him."
