The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 135 Real-name Report

After Lu Zixuan finished explaining, he asked about He Yuzhu.

"Uncle, did the street office buy a lot of food and vegetables? Are there many varieties?"

"Well, there aren't many varieties, just cucumbers, eggplants, water spinach, lotus roots and the like.

The main reason is the large quantity. There is also a steelmaking task in the countryside. The order is for delivery once a week. In such a hot day, how can the vegetables be stored for such a long time?

I used salt and sauce to pickle all the vegetables, but I couldn't use them all. It was painful to see them rot. Do you have a solution for this?"

After answering the question, He Yuzhu asked Lu Zixuan with some doubt.

“Come on, that’s your expertise. I just think that drought is everywhere now, and I don’t know how long it will last. If it continues for several years, we’ll have to find a solution.

Do you have any ideas on how to store as much food and vegetables as possible to prepare for future disasters? For example, can we dry the vegetables, pickle them, and store them in the cellar? "

Lu Zixuan pouted and looked at He Yuzhu.

"Tomatoes can be used to make sauce, and cucumbers can be pickled after being half-dried..."

He Yuzhu was mumbling to himself about how to prepare various dishes.

"You figure it out yourself. Anyway, we need to store enough for about two years. I'll prepare meal tickets for you."

Lu Zixuan said so and went to prepare the brush and paper and started designing the style of the meal ticket.

By the time all the tickets were handed over to He Yuzhu, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He Yuzhu immediately went to find the accountant to stamp them and distribute them.

"Son, Lao Tong's son came to see me twice, and I rejected him both times. It's just as you said.

Whenever Lao Tong was not around, I felt not only disgust but also hatred for his son, so I asked a few young men in the station to drive him away.

Why is he staring at me? I am no different from others except that I came from the countryside. I don’t understand.”

Chen Ping fell into deep thought again.

Then Lu Zixuan told Chen Ping the contents of the investigation.

"Oh, then it might be related to your grandmother. Your grandmother and I look almost exactly the same, and her hometown is in Northeast China.

But she was not from an official family. She was a genuine poor person, and her biggest wish before she died was to have a full meal.

Maybe they know each other? But even if they do, there is no need for me to marry into his family, right? Could it be that my mother's family was well off in the past?

That's not right, she has never known what sugar tastes like. Forget it, forget it."

Chen Ping started laughing as she spoke.

“By the way, people at our grain station said that Yi Zhonghai and his family are buying grain at high prices.

You know what will happen in the future, so you store food in advance. Why did he start storing food as well? What news did he receive?"

After laughing, Chen Ping asked about the doubts in his heart.

"There shouldn't be any news. If there is, the first ones to take action will definitely not be ordinary people. This will give us an additional crime to deal with him in the future, such as driving up food prices and creating panic."

After Lu Zixuan finished speaking, he and Chen Ping laughed at the same time.

But even he himself did not expect that this handle would be used so quickly, almost immediately.

"Everyone, gather at the Intermediate Court immediately. The police station and the steel mill security department will investigate the case."

Liu Guangqi raised his voice and shouted in the backyard.

Lu Zixuan picked up his bag and followed Chen Ping out to the central courtyard.

There was a group of people standing in the middle of the yard. Lu Zixuan saw Director Zhou, Director Liu, Deputy Director Zhou, Lao Zheng and others among them.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I'm sorry to waste your time after a whole day's work.

It’s just that the matter is urgent and quite serious, so I hope everyone will keep quiet, watch the fate of the criminals, remember the teachings, and don’t make similar mistakes again.

Now, please allow Chief Zhou of the police station to give you a briefing on the case.”

Deputy Director Zhou was the first to give a warning. Everyone began to panic, fearing that they would be implicated. They held their breath and watched Director Zhou take out some pieces of letter paper.

"The day before yesterday, the district government and our police station simultaneously received a report that Chen Ping, a resident of our courtyard house,

Suspected of colluding with the security department of the steel rolling mill to resell materials in short supply for the country, upon investigation, it was found that Chen Ping had indeed purchased high-priced scrap steel for all residents of the courtyard.

Please ask Comrade Chen Ping to come out and explain. "

Chen Ping walked out of the crowd calmly and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Excuse me, Director Zhou, does the report say that I, Chen Ping, paid for the purchase? If so, please ask all the residents who paid for the purchase of the scrap metal."

Director Zhou signaled two police officers to go and confirm with the masses. After the two police officers asked and reported, Director Zhou nodded.

"It's true that you didn't pay, but someone saw with their own eyes that you first went to the factory security department, then went to the shabby yard at the end of the street and brought back 200 kilograms of stolen goods."

"Security Department, because my son wanted to go there, he did go to the end of the street. So why did Director Zhou think that it was stolen property?"

Chen Ping asked Director Zhou a question in return.

"Chen Ping, stop quibbling. If it's not stolen property, then what is it? The steel mill just happened to throw away the scraps, and you just happened to buy them back. How could it be such a coincidence?"

Deputy Director Zhou couldn't stand Chen Ping's cold and calm demeanor, and couldn't help but say a few words.

Chen Ping looked at Deputy Director Zhou with contempt and asked:

"Then how much was lost at the steel mill? Exactly 200 kilograms? Do you have any evidence?"

A young man was pushed out, pointed at Lu Zixuan, and said with gestures:

"That day when the security department was checking Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, I saw Guo Laowu handing such a big bag to the kid."

Lu Zixuan stood next to Chen Ping, looked at the man and asked:

"What's in that big bag? Iron? It's understandable that he can lift it, but what about me? Do you think I can lift it?

You can't even lie, Director Zhou. I suspect he framed me on purpose.

Also, judging from the way he walks, it is probably due to the fact that he has been storing heavy objects in his crotch for a long time. I ask you to check.

If I am not mistaken, he is a workshop worker who often goes to the scrap yard to sell scrap metal. Old Sun's son must have seen him, so I have reason to suspect that he is the thief crying "stop thief".

Director Zhou immediately arranged for someone to check and identify the person.

Lu Zixuan didn't want to waste time and recounted the events of that day's scrap metal collection.

"I deliberately led them into this trap. This is what happens when you are greedy. I have no guilt whatsoever."

Deputy Director Zhou spoke again.

"That only proves that the security department was not involved in your activities, but it does not prove that you are innocent."

"Then how do you prove it's stolen property?"

Lu Zixuan asked Deputy Director Zhou back, and when he saw that he stopped talking, he took out a stack of bills and handed it to Director Zhou.

"This is the receipt for me buying scrap iron at the scrap yard in the past year. The reason for the purchase was that the purchase price of the Second Steel Rolling Mill was high.

Can these prove the origin of the so-called stolen goods, Deputy Director Zhou?

I have asked, buying scrap iron from state-owned units and selling it to state-owned enterprises does not constitute reselling materials, and the difference in price is a reasonable transportation cost. Does this need to be explained?

If Deputy Director Zhou does not understand what I said, he can ask the district government’s propaganda department.”

Lu Zixuan took out another stack of papers from his bag.

"Director Liu, I want to report in real name that during his tenure, Deputy Director Zhou, under the guise of inspections and welfare distribution, repeatedly demanded money and materials from the managers of the courtyards and slums in the jurisdiction, and forced them to leave meals for him, among other illegal and disorderly acts.

This is the time, place, method, amount and witness testimony of the violations from 54 to the present.

If there is any inaccuracy, I am willing to take any responsibility.”
