Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"You don't need to tell me that Guangqi is a lucky child. It's good for people to study hard since childhood. I think the uncle is the lucky one. He has such a capable son. He doesn't have to worry about his retirement in his later years. Unlike someone else..."

Now Yi Zhonghai's reputation is ruined, and he doesn't get along with Liu Haizhong. Yi Zhonghai didn't attend the Liu family's wedding banquet today, and didn't give any gift money. He went to work honestly. Everyone didn't mind taking the opportunity to step on Yi Zhonghai to make Liu Haizhong happy.

A man who eats someone's food will be grateful to him.

At this time, the Security Department was also quite lively.

Director Bai Wanli personally led the operation, and Liu Neng, the head of the Public Security Section, followed his lead and mobilized personnel from three brigades.

"Liu Neng, are all the people here? Have you brought all the equipment with you?"

"Report to the Director, everything is ready and we can set off at any time!"

"Okay! Then follow me and catch him!"

Chapter 128: The tactless Liu Haizhong, the security department arrests people

Courtyard house

Soon after Sun Jingguo's family arrived, several friends he invited also arrived.

Several of them were colleagues from the same unit as him. They were old friends who had known each other since before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Now that Sun Jingguo's eldest daughter was getting married, they naturally came to show their support.

When Liu Haizhong heard that his in-laws and their friends had all arrived, he quickly asked Liu Guangtian to button up his collar and then ran out to receive them.

He knew that these people were all leaders, and he must not miss any opportunity to curry favor with them.

Liu Haizhong, wearing a Zhongshan suit that was tighter than the straitjacket in a mental hospital, endured the discomfort of almost being unable to breathe and said: "Hello, leaders. I am Guangqi's father, Liu Haizhong, the uncle of this courtyard."

As the saying goes, the less you have, the more you want to show off.

Although Sun Jingguo and his friends were only section-level cadres, they were nothing in the city, but for Liu Haizhong, they were all high-ranking officials with great power. In order not to lose face and to show off, Liu Haizhong used his most prestigious title in the courtyard - a great uncle.

But this introduction, coupled with his Zhongshan suit that looked like it would fall apart at any moment, looked particularly funny.

"Hello Comrade Liu Haizhong"

Those junior leaders came here to give Sun Jingguo a face. Although they thought Liu Haizhong looked funny, they didn't want to hit Sun Jingguo in the face, so they greeted Liu Haizhong politely.

Sun Jingguo's eyes twitched, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he said implicitly: "My dear, you don't look well, why don't you go back and have a rest?"

Whether for his own face or for his daughter's face, Sun Jingguo couldn't spray Liu Haizhong on his daughter's wedding day, "You idiot, go change this ugly stupid clothes."

But the brain circuit in Liu Hai will make Sun Jingguo regret his subtlety

"It's okay, it's okay. I feel very comfortable now. My dear relatives and leaders, please sit down quickly and have a cigarette first. The food will be ready soon."

Liu Haizhong not only did not leave, but also greeted them enthusiastically.

Liu Haizhong is a skilled man, he teaches his apprentices seriously, and he is willing to spend money to curry favor with his superiors. So why can't he even become a squad leader after all these years?

It's because he is too stupid. He just licks the boss to curry favor with him, but he has to lick the right place.

Liu Haizhong's ability to read the leader's eyes and understand his leader's intentions is particularly poor, so he often flatters the leader but ends up hitting the horse's hoof, which annoys the leader he wants to curry favor with. If he hadn't been diligent in giving gifts, he would have suffered a great loss.

Now Liu Haizhong didn't understand Sun Jingguo's meaning at all. He greeted several leaders cheerfully, not knowing how uncomfortable they were.

At this moment, Zhu Xiuying moved a small table and sat there collecting gifts.

Although she is not well educated, she manages the household, buys groceries and does the accounting, so it is not a problem for her to remember the numbers.

Each family gave a gift of two or three yuan, which was not a small amount by the standards of that era.

Although Liu Haizhong had said before that the most important thing was to have a lively atmosphere and that he didn't care how much the gifts were, the residents who were still in the courtyard were not as shameless as the Jia family. Seeing how luxurious the Liu family's banquet was, they felt embarrassed to give a dime or two. They also didn't want to offend Liu Haizhong, who was now a big boss, so they all gave a few yuan in gifts.

This amount is enough to make a small profit for an ordinary family, but according to the Liu family's show today, it is definitely a loss.

Zhu Xiuying had some plans in mind, but Liu Haizhong had already boasted so much that she had no choice but to think that it would be a good thing if she could make less loss today and curry favor with a few leaders.

As time approached noon, the aroma of meat from the courtyard became more and more tempting. Several plates of cold dishes were already placed on the table. Zhu Xiuying took the second and third sons to place bowls, chopsticks, wedding wine, and wedding candies on the table, while inviting everyone in the courtyard to take a seat.

Everyone had been looking forward to this meal for a long time. When they were called, they immediately rushed to sit down.

The old smoker who couldn't bear it immediately opened the box of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth

"Phew~~Thank you so much, uncle. This is the first time in my life that I have drawn a lotus flower. I wonder what it feels like."

"Look at you, I used to smoke Huazi, it was given to me by Director Bai."

"What do you mean Director Bai gave you this? Look at your behavior. Director Bai gave you a cigarette, but it must be the cigarette butt Director Bai had left over, right?"

"What's wrong with the cigarette butt? Just tell me if I'm smoking a Huazi cigarette or not?"

"cut!"

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Nannan, please wait a moment. The old man hasn't started eating yet. We can't eat first. We have to be polite, okay?"

"I know, Mom, you have to be polite."

Listening to the various sounds in the yard, Jin Cui Lian from the Yi family sighed, her eyes full of envy.

She also wanted to organize such a wedding banquet for her own children, even if it was just to marry off her daughter, but it was a pity that it couldn't be realized.

Yi Zhonghai has a bad relationship with Liu Haizhong's family. If he doesn't attend the Liu family's wedding banquet, she naturally can't go either. Yi Zhonghai has gone to work, so she has to solve her lunch by herself.

Jin Cuilian picked up a cabbage and prepared to wash it when she heard someone outside shouting

"Director Bai, why are you here?"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to the banquet? Why...oh, why are there still so many people?"

Then someone shouted loudly, "Stop the chattering! Everybody, get up and stand in that corner!"

"Director Bai! Chief Liu, Chief Liu! We haven't done anything wrong, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't want to be caught, get out of here! I'm talking to you, hurry up!"

Then there was the sound of people standing up and bumping into tables and chairs.

The Liu family's wedding banquet was very large, and the backyard alone could not accommodate it. The entire No. 95 courtyard, except for Bai Wanli's cross-courtyard, was already filled with tables in the front, middle and back yards. At this time, the sound came from the front yard.

"What happened? Why does Director Bai seem to be here to arrest someone?"

Jin Cui Lian's heart skipped a beat, because Bai Wanli and Yi Zhonghai had a bad relationship, and Yi Zhonghai had received several punishments. Jin Cui Lian was influenced by this and was also very afraid of Bai Wanli. She was afraid that this big director would arrest her and Yi Zhonghai one day and put them in jail. Therefore, she felt scared when she heard that Bai Wanli was going to arrest someone, and her heart was upset.

Soon Bai Wanli arrived at the middle courtyard. Just like the movement in the front courtyard, the burly security guards ordered everyone who had already sat down to stand up and stand in the corner. Then they left a few people to guard. Bai Wanli himself hardly stayed and took the rest of the people to the backyard.

The people in the backyard also heard the noise in the middle yard. Many people didn't know what was going on. Bai Wanli, with a serious look on his face, had already led a group of people to the backyard.

Sun Jingguo and the others all knew Bai Wanli, but they had never seen him in person, so they couldn't recognize his appearance. But when they saw this group of people with unfriendly faces and weapons on them, they all felt a pang in their hearts and cried out inwardly: "Something happened!"

Bai Wanli shouted, "Liu Haizhong, someone reported you for speculation, come with us!"

Chapter 129: Liu Guangqi bribes in public

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Bai Wanli was coming to arrest people on the day of Liu's wedding.

Liu Haizhong was so frightened that he trembled, and there was a sound of "click" from his body.

His clothes were already tight to the limit, and he dared not use any force when walking or talking. At this moment, he was startled by Bai Wanli, and he exerted force on his body, causing a tear on his back and several buttons on his chest to fly off.

But Liu Haizhong no longer cared about his own embarrassment, and explained tremblingly:

"No! I'm not engaging in speculation, Director Bai!"

When Sun Jingguo and others heard the title "Director Bai", they were sure that the young man in front of them was the famous Bai Wanli.

Bai Wanli sneered: "No speculation? You are taking me for a fool. Look at the table. They are drinking Xifeng wine and smoking Golden Leaf cigarettes."

"And the meat in this pot, Liu Haizhong, tell me how many meat coupons and non-staple food coupons your family has in a year. If the numbers you tell match the numbers here, I will believe that you are not speculating."

"This...this...I...this amount..."

Liu Haizhong was so frightened that his tongue was sticking out. He was usually a simpleton, and apart from being arrogant, he had no real ability to solve problems. Now he was even more trembling when he was frightened.

After all, it is against the rules to buy things at the Pigeon Market. It is just that it is not strictly enforced on weekdays, so it is not a big problem. But if you are really caught, don't think you can get away with it easily. He still knows this.

Liu Guangqi didn't expect Bai Wanli to lead a team to arrest people today. He was instantly covered in cold sweat. He quickly glanced at his father-in-law. As expected, Sun Jingguo's face was ashen.

Liu Guangqi secretly said: "Oh no! If this man is really arrested, it will be a slap in the face of my father-in-law. He will definitely not like me in the future, and I will have no hope of being the workshop director! And if Liu Haizhong is really arrested, it will be difficult for me as his son to escape responsibility. I have to find a way to get away with it!"

For his own future, Liu Guangqi hurried to Bai Wanli

"Director Bai, today is a happy day, why make it unhappy? Come on, the seat of honor has been reserved for you, the distinguished guest. Please sit down, have a drink and relax."

Liu Guangqi said nice words while holding Bai Wanli's hand

It seemed like he was trying to get him a seat, but in reality he was stuffing a bunch of money into Bai Wanli's pocket.

Liu Haizhong gave this money to Liu Guangqi, saying that after Liu Guangqi got married and started his own life, he would need money for everything, whether it was raising children or arranging for future promotions. Liu Haizhong knew that his in-laws were of higher status than his own family, but he didn't want to embarrass people and make them think that his son had to rely on his wife for support, so he gave him two hundred yuan.

But how could Bai Wanli accept this money? He slapped his hands and scattered twenty big black tens on the ground in front of everyone.

"Liu Guangqi, I haven't pursued your question yet!"

"Liu Haizhong is a speculator. The least you can do is to keep silent about it. You may even be his accomplice!"

"Now facing the investigation of the Security Department, you have no remorse at all, and you have not confessed to reduce your guilt. You even tried to use money to slander a state official and make me join you in corruption. You are truly guilty of a heinous crime!"

"Liu Neng! Capture their entire family!"

"Yes! Catch him for me!"

As the Liu family trembled, Liu Neng shouted and ordered his men to arrest the man.

Liu Guangqi was instantly pinned down by two burly security guards. He was shaking all over and regretting his actions.

"Director Bai! I admit my mistake! I'll confess! Please let me go...ah!"

Before Liu Guangqi could even shout a few words, Liu Neng hit him hard in the stomach with a guard stick, causing him to retch.

Liu Neng said solemnly: "What are you arguing about! I'll give you instructions when we get to the security department. Now shut up!"

In fact, he despised Liu Guangqi in his heart. Giving gifts in broad daylight, isn't this just waiting for someone to report him? It's okay if Liu Guangqi is reported, but what about the person who received the money?

Even for a section chief like him, his future is worth more than 200 yuan, let alone a director. Who is he looking down on?

"You all get up, and stand aside if you're fine!"
