Yi Zhonghai was now in a dilemma and could only say to Cao Anping:

"Cao Anping, if you are dissatisfied with the punishment plan, we can discuss it, but now you have ruined everyone's evaluation of advanced people and are going against everyone in the hospital.

And now you have hit Sha Zhu again and are facing new compensation. Why are you so unwilling to listen to advice?

Not only will you have to pay compensation, but you might also get arrested, so why bother?"

Many residents thought that Yi Zhonghai was right and agreed with him.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the police were inevitable, so he said, "Cao Anping, when the police come, just say it was a misunderstanding, and I will reduce your punishment.

I am doing this for the benefit of all the residents in the courtyard. The Jia family has suffered a loss, so please don't be ungrateful."

Cao Anping did not comment, but said calmly: "Let's talk about it after the police arrive."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice. Xu Damao had already reported to the police, and it would only take a few minutes. He did not dare to take any extreme actions.

So he had no choice but to play his last card, and he winked at the old lady.

The aunt understood and quietly walked to the backyard to look for the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady usually does not attend the whole courtyard meeting. Only when there is something that Yi Zhonghai cannot handle will the aunt go to him for help. Anyway, no one in the courtyard dares to offend this old ancestor.

In fact, the deaf old lady was not deaf. She also heard Sha Zhu's howling just now, but she didn't care.

She thought Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were fighting again, but Xu Damao always suffered losses, so there was no need for him to intervene.

An old lady helped the deaf lady to the middle courtyard. Seeing Shazhu with a swollen face and bruised nose, sitting on the ground with his hands on his knees, she asked with concern:

"My silly Zhu, who beat you up like this? Grandma will take care of it for you."

Sha Zhu blushed a little. After all, he had never won a fight tonight. He could only say:

"It's that bad Xu Damao and this Cao Anping."

The deaf old lady did not look for Xu Damao, but looked at Cao Anping. After all, the old lady had already told her the general situation, and she knew that the person to be dealt with tonight was Cao Anping.

So he picked up his crutches and ran towards Cao Anping. It turned out that he could run without crutches.

At the same time, she also cursed: "It is you who disturbed the peace in the yard and hit the pillars. I will beat you to death."

Cao Anping couldn't fight back, otherwise he would be blackmailed, so he walked around the stool to avoid the deaf old lady.

But after turning twice, the deaf old lady fell to the ground with a thud.

This time, Cao Anping only placed a stone ball under her feet, otherwise he was afraid that the old woman would die on the spot.

Yi Zhonghai thought that the deaf old lady was pretending to fall, so he walked forward to help her up.

Then he angrily scolded Cao Anping, "You are simply lawless. You even beat the old ancestors in the courtyard. You have no morals of respecting the elderly and loving the young. I wonder how the police will deal with dangerous people like you when they come."

"She is deaf, are you, Yi Zhonghai, blind? I didn't even touch her, am I going to stand there and get beaten?

Besides, she is your Yi Zhonghai's ancestor, and I don't know her."

The deaf old lady is now putting on a mask of pain. She was originally preparing to act, but how could she really fall? She must have sprained her ankle.

So he said, "Zhonghai, I seem to have fallen and injured, please take me to the hospital."

Yi Zhonghai thought the deaf old lady was acting convincingly, so he said, "Okay, the police will be here soon, report the case to them first before leaving."

What he was thinking now was that since he had reported it to the police, he might as well report several things at once so that everyone would have their own reasons.

In the end, the only option was to reconcile with Cao Anping and get back on the right track of resolving the issue within the Siheyuan.

After all, it is impossible for Cao Anping to "die together" with them. He would rather be caught than fight to the end, right?

"Who wants to report a case?" Xu Damao brought three police officers into the Intermediate Court.

"Comrade from Public Security, I want to report a case." Cao Anping raised his hand and said.

Yi Zhonghai didn't wait for Cao Anping to continue, and stepped forward and said:

"Hello, Captain Tan. You've come just in time. I'm Yi Zhonghai, the manager of the factory, and a level 7 fitter at the steel mill.

This new resident first caused an elderly man in the yard to fall and fracture his bones, and then not only did he not repent, he also beat the man's son.

I held a meeting in the hospital and asked him to compensate the victims. I didn't expect that he agreed and then changed his mind.

He also beat He Yuzhu and the old lady in the courtyard.

Public Security Comrades, you must severely punish such lawless people. "

At this time, the deaf old lady sitting on the ground cried out: "Oh, it hurts so much, an old woman like me is being beaten, is there any justice in the world, why is there no one to help me?"

Captain Tan frowned and said, "Let's arrange for someone to send the old man to the hospital first."

Yi Zhonghai then sent two people to take the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu to the hospital. Anyway, the miserable appearance of the two had been seen by the police, so it would not affect the follow-up.

Captain Tan then looked at Cao Anping and saw that he had a calm expression and was not nervous at all.

When Yi Zhonghai accused him, he did not refute. It seemed that he was either fearless or had other hidden motives.

When the police investigate a case, it is impossible for them to just listen to one side and arrest someone, so they asked:

"You beat someone up and asked someone to report it to the police?"

Cao Anping said calmly: "Comrade Public Security, I didn't hit anyone.

I reported the case because someone in the courtyard blackmailed me for 500 yuan and more than ten pieces of furniture."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said, "Captain Tan, that was compensation for beating someone up. He agreed to it at the time and even lent me the money."

Captain Tan said unhappily, "Speak one by one. He didn't interrupt you just now. We investigators will judge right and wrong ourselves."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to shut up for the time being. Since he became the boss, he had never reported the matters in the courtyard to the police. It seemed that the situation was a bit tricky. The police would not give him, the so-called boss, face.

Captain Tan turned to Cao Anping and said, "You continue."

Cao Anping nodded and continued, "Jia Zhang took the initiative to cause trouble. I had an argument with her and she rushed over to hit me, but she fell down when she was still three or four meters away from me. It is said that she broke her bones and was admitted to the hospital.

Then tonight her son stopped me and asked me to compensate. When I refused, he wanted to hit me. I took the initiative and slapped him in the face. I guess this is self-defense.

There was also a whole-school meeting in the evening, and the same thing happened. It was He Yuzhu who came to hit me, and I just kicked him lightly.

As for the deaf old lady, I felt even more wronged. She wanted to hit me with her cane and I could only dodge. She fell down by herself and I didn't even touch her.

If you don’t believe me, ask other people in the hospital. Many people have seen these things.”

Captain Tan believed Cao Anping's words because he was calm and organized.

So he asked the other two police officers to prepare for questioning and verifying the facts.

Cao Anping said: "Comrade Public Security, there are people in this hospital who have been having the final say for a long time, and if there is a problem, you are not allowed to report it to the Public Security Bureau or the street office for handling.

Just now I was about to go find you, but someone stopped me from going. This is an illegal restriction of my personal freedom.

They never ask the police to handle matters, they always try to cover up the problems, so they don’t understand the law.

I suggest you educate them on the consequences of perjury, otherwise they will definitely tell lies."

After hearing this, Captain Tan's eyes narrowed. There is such a thing. Isn't this just the feudal patriarchal approach?

So he said to the residents around him: "Let me tell you something. Perjury is illegal. We will investigate later. Everyone should tell the truth. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Everyone in the courtyard felt nervous; they really didn't know there would be such serious consequences.

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that things were heading out of control.

Captain Tan ordered two police officers to take the residents to the backyard for investigation and questioning.

Ten minutes later, two police officers came to Captain Tan and reported:

“Captain, after questioning 20 people, six of them said they didn’t know or didn’t see it clearly.

Fourteen of them said that what Cao Anping described was true.

Captain Tan nodded. This was pretty much what he expected.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect this result, and hurriedly said: "Captain Tan, if a dispute occurs and someone gets hurt, there must be some responsibility."

But Captain Tan didn't buy his trick at all and said, "Do you know how big a case involving 500 yuan is?"

Yi Zhonghai was suddenly enlightened and said, "Cao Anping borrowed 500 yuan from me on the pretext of compensation, and then regretted it. Isn't this also a scam?"

After saying that, he took out the IOU and handed it to Captain Tan.

After reading the IOU, Captain Tan looked at Cao Anping strangely and asked, "Did you borrow it?"

Cao Anping nodded: "They wanted to kick me out of the compound at that time. I was very scared, so I was ready to pay the money and consider myself unlucky. But after borrowing the money, I was unwilling to be blackmailed, so I changed my mind."

"Then you should pay back the money. I lent it to you for compensation. If you took it yourself, it would be fraud," Yi Zhonghai emphasized.

Cao Anping said innocently: "The purpose of the IOU is not stated. I will definitely pay you back. There is no need to discuss this matter."

Captain Tan was also speechless. It was impossible to accuse Cao Anping of cheating people out of money, after all, it was written in black and white.

He thought Cao Anping was an honest man who was forced into a corner, but he didn't expect that he was also a restless person.

By now, Captain Tan has basically figured out what happened and doesn't want to waste time.

So he announced: "After investigation, it was found that Cao Anping did not commit intentional injury.

Jia Dongxu is suspected of extortion of a large sum of money and was taken back to the police station for further investigation."

Cao Anping added in a low voice: "And He Yuzhu deliberately stopped me from calling the police and restricted my personal freedom."

Captain Tan paused for a moment before asking, "Where is He Yuzhu?"

Xu Damao stepped forward and said, "I just said a word for Cao Anping, and He Yuzhu chased me and beat me up. He fell and was injured and went to the hospital.

Public Security Comrade, you have to take good care of this idiot Zhu, he often beats people in the yard."

Is there such a person? Captain Tan was a little skeptical and replied, "We will summon He Yuzhu to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."

"Okay, take him away." Captain Tan waved his hand.

Two police officers walked towards Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was terrified and shouted, "Master, save me. I won't go to the police station. I didn't blackmail anyone. It was my mother who wanted Cao Anping to pay me."

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was still trying to resist, the two police officers punched him and handcuffed his hands behind his back, making him unable to move.

Jia Dongxu was taken away.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he quickly said to Cao Anping:

"On behalf of the Jia family, I don't want you to pay any compensation. You should go and negotiate a settlement with the public security comrades as soon as possible.

You didn't suffer any loss in this matter. You always send people to jail. You are so unsociable. The hospital can't tolerate you."

Cao Anping shrugged and said, "If you make a mistake, you must be punished, otherwise what is the point of having laws?

If you don’t want me to live here, then go and tell Director Wang and the steel mill that this is their house and you have no right to live here.”

After saying that, Cao Anping walked towards the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to curse: "Cao Anping, pay me back!"

Cao Anping waved his hand, leaving behind a back view, and said, "It's not five years yet, uncle, please keep the IOU safe."

Yi Zhonghai was furious and fell silent, trying to find a way out of the situation.

Yan Bugui stood up with a complicated expression, said "meeting adjourned", and walked towards the front yard.

Everyone else dispersed, not wanting to stay and bring bad luck to Yi Zhonghai.

Arriving at the backyard and entering the room, Cao Anping checked and found that the house was cleaned fairly well by the third aunt.

Xu Damao walked in with a beaming face and said happily: "Brother, you are awesome. I, Xu Damao, admire you."

Cao Anping took out two packs of cigarettes and gave them to Xu Damao, saying, "Thanks, Brother Damao. I'll go to your house to move the luggage."

Xu Damao took the cigarette and said happily: "Okay, I'll help you move it."
