Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Brother Zheng, that's amazing."

"Brother Guozheng, well done."

Li Dabao and Huang Qiuxia were dancing with excitement. They knew that with Liu Guozheng's move, the matter was settled today.

The people in the office were happy, but the people brought by Nie Yuanying were not in such a good mood. They heard the conversation between Liu Guozheng and Nie Yuanying just now very clearly. Let the Red Book tell whether they are loyal or not.

Now everything has been explained, even if they disagree in their hearts, they dare not say it out loud.

"Director Nie, it's your turn now."

"Haha, Comrade Liu Guozheng, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Facts have proven that you are the old man's most loyal soldier. Only the most loyal soldiers can always remember the old man's quotations."

"is it?"

"Absolutely."

"Not against your will?"

"Nothing."

What else did Nie Yuanying dare to say? She knew everything in her heart. She believed that Liu Guozheng was such a smart man that if she dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction, the big hat would be put on her head on the spot.

How did Nie Yuanying get to the top? Isn't it because she is good at putting accusations on others?

"Okay, in that case, let's continue."

"Comrade Liu Guozheng? What do you mean by continue?"

"Use the Little Red Book to identify who is the old man's loyal soldier? Doesn't Director Nie want to?"

"Yes, of course I do, but..."

"No, that's it. Let's start with you, Director Nie."

"what?"

Nie Yuanying was confused. When she came here, someone told her not to take it lightly, saying that Liu Guozheng was not an ordinary person and she would be easily tricked by him if she was not careful.

When she came, Nie Yuanying had done her homework. She knew the office's working hours and the goods sold very well. She made up two charges for Liu Guozheng, one was hedonism and the other was suspicion of capitalism. If one of these two charges was true, she would be confident that she could take over the office and let the people behind her see her ability to do things.

Who would have thought that Liu Guozheng would not play by the rules, would not reason with me, would not discuss right and wrong, but would directly use the Little Red Book to make his point. Who would dare to refute this? Who could refute this?

Now how to do?

It’s okay to let yourself hold the book and read it, and I can read it to you passionately.

Memorizing the entire Little Red Book, let alone in just a few months, even if I gave myself a year, I would not have the confidence to be as good as Liu Guozheng, who knew every page and every line clearly.

"Comrade Liu Guozheng, do you believe me when I say I was deceived by a villain?"

"I don't believe it. How could such a wise man as Director Nie be deceived?"

"No one is perfect."

Wiping the sweat from her forehead again, Nie Yuanying looked at Liu Guozheng carefully, trying to see through his heart through his facial expression. Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed, as Liu Guozheng always had a faint smile on his face.

"Director Nie, you have disappointed me so much. I now have reason to suspect that you are all bad elements and opportunists. You are using the name of an old man to exclude dissidents, suppress good people, and seek benefits for yourself and your loved ones. Your actions are pitiful, but your hearts are despicable."

Nie Yuanying looked at Liu Guozheng in horror. What was coming had finally come. Liu Guozheng was really good at putting accusations on others.

"Liu Guozheng, do you want to lose both of us?"

"No, no, no, as long as you pass the Little Red Book's appraisal, you are still good soldiers of the old man, and no one will do anything to you."

"You..what if I say no?"

"It's not up to you."

After saying that, Liu Guozheng looked at Jiang Zhengyi in the crowd and said, "Director Jiang, since you are here, why don't you come over and maintain order?"

After being named by Liu Guozheng, Jiang Zhengyi had no choice but to come out with the people from the Red Star Police Station.

There were not many people, only eight, including Zhang Qiang, Li Zheng and Lao Wu.

"Guo Zheng, why don't we just forget about this? You know the current situation, it's better to have less trouble than more."

Jiang Zhengyi was also afraid that Liu Guozheng would ask him to detain all these people. To be honest, he also disliked these people, but there was nothing he could do. This was the general trend now. Even if he arrested them all, he believed that the Dongcheng Revolutionary Committee would come to rescue them within half an hour.

"Director Jiang, this is not a question of more or less. Now is the time to identify who is the old man's most loyal soldier. You and I have the responsibility to find those opportunists. The old man's original intention is good, and we can't let a rat spoil the pot of soup."

After hearing what Liu Guozheng said, Jiang Zhengyi now regretted that he shouldn't have brought people here.

Now, such a difficult problem has fallen on my head.

The matter was a bit serious, and Jiang Zhengyi's shoulders were too small to carry it.

“This, this, this…”

Jiang Zhengyi rubbed his hands anxiously.

Old Wu, Zhang Qiang and others stood by, watching the situation with their eyes and noses fixed on their minds, without saying a word.

In the past few months since the storm began, they have witnessed its cruelty and know that talking too much will lead to mistakes, especially when they meet someone like Liu Guozheng, who can make sense out of any unreasonable things. Silence is the best way to deal with it.

"Director Jiang, maintaining order in the branch is one of your responsibilities. Have your men guard the intersection. No one who has not passed the Little Red Book will be allowed to leave."

"No, Comrade Liu Guozheng, we are not here to maintain order. We have received word that an important suspect in a case is among these people, and we have locked him in. We are taking him away for questioning now. This case is a registered case, and we dare not delay for a moment."

Then Jiang Zhengyi pointed at one of the Little Red Soldiers and shouted, "Li Hu, your case has been exposed. Come with us."

Jiang Zhengyi waved his hand, and Zhang Qiang and Li Zheng went up without saying a word, picked up the Red Guard named Li Hu, and followed Jiang Zhengyi away.

Liu Guozheng wanted to laugh when he saw this. Jiang Zhengyi was really a slippery man who didn't want to offend anyone. He didn't expect that there was actually someone he knew among the Little Red Soldiers.

It was obvious that Li Hu also knew Jiang Zhengyi, and he was a smart kid. Knowing that today's incident was a big deal, he let Zhang Qiang and Li Zheng hold him up and took the opportunity to escape from this vortex.

Jiang Zhengyi led his men away, taking away the last bit of hope in Nie Yuanying's heart, and immediately shouted: "Liu Guozheng, you are just a farmer, you have no right to do this."

"Nie Yuanying, can you say it again?"

"I say, you are just a farmer, you are not qualified to examine us, do you understand?"

"You may have forgotten that this is the era when workers and peasants are in charge, and I am the old man's most loyal fighter. No matter from which point of view, I am qualified to examine you."

"You, you, you, Liu Guozheng, are you determined not to give us a chance to live?"

"It's not that I didn't give you a chance to live, it's that you bumped into me."

"Don't blame me then. I have more people, so I am right. Come on, arrest everyone in the office headed by Liu Guozheng."

Nie Yuanying's eyes revealed madness. Things had come to this point. The brave ones would die of courage, while the timid ones would die of fear. On her side, there were more than fifty Red Guards and pickets. As long as Liu Guozheng and others were captured, she had a hundred ways to nail Liu Guozheng to death so that he would never be able to stand up.
