Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

When the blood is no longer boiling and the passion fades away, all that remains are the uneasy hearts.

The participants in the siege of the department store buried their heads deep in their chests like quails, not daring to move at all, for fear that too much movement would attract the attention of the leg-breaking maniac.

Order was restored immediately.

Looking at those people with broken legs, Captain He couldn't bear it. Perhaps he was more worried that they might have an accident, so he suggested sending them to the hospital by truck first.

Liu Guozheng said that they were not worthy and rejected Captain He’s proposal on the spot.

Once all the names, home addresses, and work units of all people have been recorded, the street office will then notify their relatives to sign and pick them up.

The snow was still falling, and from time to time a cold wind would blow, a biting cold wind.

People came one after another to sign and take their loved ones away. Among them were naturally some arrogant ones. When they saw their relatives’ legs broken, they began to point at the soldiers and shout and curse, until they were hit in the face by the butt of a rifle, and were forced to face reality.

After they realized the reality, they were detained directly and their family was notified again to send someone to pick them up.

During this period, the army, the Revolutionary Committee and the police station jointly, under the leadership of Wang Dabing and Zhang Shili, sealed off two secret warehouses.

However, there are not many valuable things, and most of the antiques, calligraphy and paintings are basically in a damaged state.

When they entered the secret warehouse of the Riot Committee, Wang Dabing and Zhang Shili collapsed on the spot.

The scene in the warehouse was indeed bad news for both of them, extremely bad news.

Hao Xinren and Zhang Zhanling both died.

Judging from the traces of fighting at the scene, the two men died together. Hao Xinren's knife stabbed into Zhang Zhanling's chest, and Zhang Zhanling's knife stabbed into Hao Xinren's neck.

However, the experienced Mr. Wu found out that there should have been two more people in the warehouse at that time.

Whether Hao Xinren and Zhang Zhanling died together or not will require forensic identification to draw a conclusion.

No matter how the two men died, someone had to take responsibility for the siege of the department store, and Wang Dabing and Zhang Shili became the best candidates.

Leave professional matters to professionals, and the on-site situation will be handed over to the police station.

Wang Dabing and Zhang Shili were dragged out. Their legs were so weak that they could not walk.

When we returned to the department store square, Xu Damao also came back.

The jeep contained ham, braised beef, some ginger and brown sugar.

The wood was brought by the food factory's truck, which meant that the delivery truck had not returned in the morning, otherwise Xu Damao really wouldn't know how to bring the wood over.

After setting up the pot, I started to make a fire and boil the ginger sugar tea.

The soldiers began to take turns to rest and eat in groups of ten.

The food factory's delivery truck returned to the factory. Liu Guozheng asked the driver to take a message back, saying that he would not be back that night, and asked the villagers, especially Lou Xiao'e, not to worry, and that he would call back when he was done.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Liu Guozheng and Xu Damao sat around the fire to keep warm.

Looking at the five or six bodies not far away, they were the unlucky people who were trampled to death during the siege of the department store. Xu Damao asked in confusion: "Brother Zheng, are we just letting these people go like this? Did those people die in vain?"

"Nothing can be done about it. You can't blame anyone else for your death. It's your own fault."

It's not that Liu Guozheng is indifferent. In a mass incident like this involving thousands of people, everyone's records will be kept. Ordinary participants will be admonished and educated by their respective street offices, and the leaders or the ringleaders will be pushed forward to take responsibility to calm the anger of the families of the deceased.

As for who stepped on him to death, we can't ask or find out, so we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck.

"Tsk, tsk."

There were many feelings, but he didn't know how to express them. Xu Damao just smacked his lips and paused for a while. Then he continued, "Brother Zheng, many of those people have been taken away. When are we going back?"

Liu Guozheng said: "Wait."

Xu Damao asked in a questioning tone: "Wait?"

"Yes, just wait, wait for someone to take over."

"Who are you waiting for? It's getting late, is anyone going to come?"

"should be."

Liu Guozheng said affirmatively.

Captain He, together with the soldiers, Chief Jiang and people from other police stations continued to count the number of people at the entrance of the department store.

Only Yao Qing'an was missing. His old jeep was still there, but he was missing. The only explanation was that he was in the department store making a phone call to ask for instructions from his superiors. In other words, he was filing a complaint against Liu Guozheng.

"Brother Zheng, this matter is a bit serious, we won't be in any trouble, right?"

Xu Damao was still able to speak, and the two words "we" directly brought him closer to Liu Guozheng.

"Trouble? Maybe."

Liu Guozheng was not sure either. What this world lacks the most are brainless people who think they are great.

He also believed that whether it was the Revolutionary Committee of the former Soviet Union or the higher-level leadership groups, there was no shortage of brainless and arrogant people who believed that the movement could solve everything.

"Ah? What should we do?"

Liu Guozheng said calmly: "If the enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals; if the water comes, we will block it with earth."

"Brother Zheng, look"

Speak of the devil, and he will appear. Looking in the direction Xu Damao pointed, there were indeed several cars driving over.

"Good that you're here. After the handover, we'll go back to the office. This weather is perfect for hot pot and drinking."

"Brother, you're still thinking about drinking at this time? Or think about how to get through this level?"

Not all of the cars this time were jeeps. Among them was a black sedan. It looked like the person was of high rank. Although Liu Guozheng didn't look panicked at all, Xu Damao was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Liu Guozheng patted Xu Damao on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look.

Sure enough, Liu Guozheng guessed correctly. As soon as the convoy stopped, Yao Qingan hurried to meet them.
