Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

At this time, the residents around who heard the sounds of fighting and screaming turned on the lights, put on their clothes and rushed out from the courtyards. When they saw the scene in the alley, they were shocked. They saw a group of people lying on the ground with some sticks, knives, flashlights and other things thrown on the ground. It was obvious that these guys were not good people.

So someone bravely stepped forward to check on these guys, only to find that they were all knocked unconscious, their faces were wrapped tightly, and almost everyone had injuries on their bodies.

At this time, the manager of a nearby courtyard quickly asked people to report to the police. This incident was a bit too big. So many people were beaten and injured at once, and it seemed that the injuries were not light. They dared not sit idly by and could only report to the police as soon as possible.

By the time the public security comrades on duty at the nearby police station rushed over, several of the unlucky guys had already woken up. However, as soon as they woke up, they began to lie on the ground and howl in pain. It was obvious that they were seriously injured and their bones were broken, making them unable to move.

The police had no choice but to organize manpower to take these guys to the hospital first, and then asked colleagues for support to keep them under custody, because the police here found that these guys were basically some street urchins or hooligans in their area, almost all of them were unemployed vagrants.

Normally, this group of guys often wander around and do some sneaky things. Some of them have been dealt with by the police more than once. It is obvious that they are not good people.

The police initially judged that this group of people might have made an appointment to fight with some rivals in the middle of the night, but were outnumbered and defeated by their rivals. So after sending them to the hospital for treatment, they began to interrogate them separately.

As a result, it was not until the trial that we found out that this group of guys had actually targeted a butcher in the Pigeon Market in the middle of the night, and wanted to rob him when he was leaving after buying meat. However, they hit a wall unexpectedly. Not only did they fail to steal the money, but they were all killed by one of the other party on the spot, and all of them were beaten to pieces.

Not only did that man beat them all up, he also robbed them. These guys were originally engaged in the business of dealing in tickets in the Pigeon Market, but now everything on them was searched by that man, leaving them with nothing.

So these guys were completely screwed this time. They not only failed to steal the chicken but also lost the rice. They didn't gain anything and lost everything. At the same time, all of them were seriously injured.

But when the police asked these guys if they knew the man who beat them up, all nine of them shook their heads and said they didn't know him. This was because in Pigeon City, whether buyers or sellers, everyone wrapped themselves up tightly, leaving only their eyes exposed, so they had no idea what the man looked like.

They could only describe the other person's approximate height and build, and that he spoke with a Beijing accent. Other than that, they couldn't reveal anything else useful.

After some interrogation, these guys confessed that this was not the first time they had done this. They often did this before. In the Pigeon Market, they would target individual sellers who were selling things alone, and when they finished selling their things and left, they would follow them, block these sellers in secluded places, and then rob them.

Because the people who were robbed were also engaged in illegal business, they dared not report to the police even if they were robbed, and could only swallow the loss in silence. Therefore, they have always been fearless, but they did not expect to accidentally run into a martial artist and get caught this time.

The police were also quite helpless about this case, because the people setting up stalls in the Pigeon Market were very mobile and would often move to another place after each shot. Without knowing the other party's appearance and name, finding the person who injured these nine guys was obviously as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

The key point is that they don't even know how old the other party is. They only know that he is a martial artist who is good at using a stick. They can't roughly determine this person's identity. It is basically impossible to catch this person based on the clues they currently have.

The key point is that the person who beat people up was not actively breaking the law, but was acting in self-defense. He fought back when he was being robbed and injured the gang of scum, and robbed them of everything. He did not pose a big threat to society, but did pose a threat to the robbers.

Therefore, after the interrogation, the public security department held several meetings to discuss the case, and finally they all agreed that it was not advisable to make a big fuss and spend a lot of effort to track down the murderer. The murderer was just selling some meat in the pigeon market, which was not a serious crime and did not pose a great threat to society. There was really no need for the public security department to spend a lot of effort to track down this person.

So in the end, the police hastily concluded the case, and all nine scums were imprisoned. The leader and the two key members who followed him and did the most bad things were sentenced to death and sent directly to target practice. The other six were sentenced to prison terms ranging from more than five years to life imprisonment, and after they recovered from their injuries, they were sent to the northwest to dig sand.

However, Lin Geng also behaved himself afterwards, because this incident was quite a big deal, and the Pigeon City was also affected and had to be closed down. The organizer of the Pigeon City was also implicated, and was arrested and sentenced to several years in prison.

These nine guys also involved several of their accomplices, but those people were not with them that day and luckily they did not receive the beating from Lin Geng. However, they were still exposed afterwards and were arrested and sentenced.

The impact of this incident was quite significant, and it spread to other pigeon markets in the surrounding area. It was widely rumored that one of the butchers was a martial arts master who was elusive and extremely ruthless. People in various pigeon markets were looking for Lin Geng openly or secretly, forcing Lin Geng to temporarily stop shipping in the pigeon markets.

Lin Geng also realized at this time that it was obviously unsafe for him to take the things to the Pigeon Market to sell by himself. If he did so, he would be targeted sooner or later and similar things would happen to him.

He had taken down a gang this time, and he didn't know how many people he would offend, and he also didn't know whether it would attract the attention of the government. If the government really wanted to investigate him, it wouldn't take too much effort. He never dared to underestimate the ability of the government. Many times, some things just depended on whether they wanted to spend the effort to investigate. If they were really determined to investigate, then no matter how secretive he was, he would be discovered sooner or later.

Therefore, after this incident, Lin Geng decided to stop doing it for a while and change the shipping method. That is to find a reliable agent. He will only be a supplier and leave the rest of the distribution matters to the agent. He will retreat behind the scenes, which will cause less trouble.

Next, Lin Geng continued to wander around various pigeon markets, but for the time being he did not continue to set up a stall to sell goods. Instead, he began to observe some managers of pigeon markets, preparing to select someone to cooperate with.

In the blink of an eye, winter passed and spring came. In April, the weather gradually became warmer. After being quiet for a while, the courtyard became lively again.
