Scholars in the courtyard

In the first workshop, Yi Zhonghai heard the news. Although the expression on his face did not change, his hands and feet became more agile than before, and his work efficiency improved a lot.

Compared with Yi Zhonghai's composure, Jia Dongxu almost had his disappointment written all over his face.

"Master, look, this is retribution."

"If you do bad things, you will be punished sooner or later."

Jia Dongxu said happily, and almost ran home to tell his mother and wife the good news.

Make them happy.

In a moment of silence, Jia Dongxu thought that if something happened to Yang Xiaotao, would those two rooms become his own?

And the vegetables in the yard will become your own when the time comes. Wouldn’t it be possible to exchange them?

Will your life be happy in the future?

"When the time comes, I can afford to raise more children."

Jia Dongxu thought of Qin Huairu's plump body again and suddenly felt thirsty.

Not far away, Liu Haizhong put down the forging hammer in his hand, packed up the tools and was about to start working, when he heard people around him talking about what happened just now.

After careful inquiry, I found out that after Yang Xiaotao was taken away by people from the security department, he remembered what Xu Damao said while drinking that night.

Over the years, he has always wanted to be the leader of the steel rolling mill, but because his educational level was only at a high level, he has been unable to be promoted.

Until now, he was just a team leader taking the lead.

If you don’t have any real power in your hands, there’s no point in taking charge.

I don't feel confident about this.

He usually releases the second uncle's authority in the courtyard, but since he was insulted by Yang Xiaotao last time, he feels that the second uncle's prestige has shrunk sharply. Nowadays, many people in the courtyard see that he has lost the awe he used to have.

This poured cold water on his enthusiasm for becoming an official.

Therefore, he urgently needs to find something to establish his authority and make people continue to fear him.

"Yang Xiaotao, hum."

Liu Haizhong touched the letter paper in his pocket, put down his tools, and walked towards the security department office.

In the Publicity Department, Xu Damao stood in the corridor, leaning on the railing, holding a cigarette in his mouth, blowing out the smoke ring, listening to the discussion in the corridor, and couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Yang Xiaotao, Yang Xiaotao, you don't even know how much you weigh, and you dare to steal a woman from me."

"Hmph! I don't know what's wrong!"

"I just used some tricks to ruin your reputation."

The proud laughter rang out and quickly disappeared, and the whole person became excited.

"Lou family, Lou Xiao'e, haha."

In the security department, Yang Xiaotao walked in with the security guard.

This was his first time here. Except for the sign hanging on the door to guard the first room, it looked a bit like the classroom in his previous life.

Walking in, there were many people in the room.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the five guards in black uniforms with a cold look on their faces, and then the two people squatting on the ground next to them, one of whom was Zhou Peng.

Yang Xiaotao walked in, and someone immediately came forward.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I am Wang Hao, the officer of the Security Section."

The person who came here was about 1.8 meters tall, with a thin face and small eyes that held a pressure.

"Hello, Director Wang."

Yang Xiaotao did not have stage fright and answered freely.

Seeing this, Wang Hao became relieved.

People usually come here to ask questions, but rarely are they so peaceful.

Such people are either magnanimous in their hearts and have nothing to blame, or they are extremely evil and can't be seen through the pretense.

However, he is more willing to believe that it is the former, because the other party's age and identity are far from the latter.

"I brought you here this time to confirm something."

Wang Hao went directly to the topic.

Pointing at the two people fighting on the side, he asked, "Do you know these two people?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the two of them, then pointed at Zhou Peng and said, "This is my brother, Zhou Peng."

"I don't know this person."

"What's your relationship with Zhou Peng?"

Wang Hao asked directly.

"My father and Zhou Peng's father are both trying to save..."

"So our two families are very happy, and I treat him as a younger brother."

Yang Xiaotao said once again that these are all traceable, as long as people from the security department go to the workshop and inquire, they will know.

Yang Xiaotao said, and the guard who came with him whispered in Wang Hao's ear. After hearing this, Wang Hao looked at Yang Xiaotao with eyes full of approval.

Even Zhou Peng on the side looked affirmative after hearing this.

"Your relationship has been confirmed, so do you have any impression of this person?"

After speaking, he pointed to Du Dahai, who was squatting on the ground.

"I don't know him. This person shouldn't be from our workshop."

"And we haven't seen him in the alley."

At this time, Du Dahai was already very worried. When he heard about the relationship between Yang Xiaotao and Zhou Peng, he felt a little regretful.

This matter may not be a big deal, but if it gets to this level, it might be a crime of slandering a colleague. If it gets too big, he may be fired directly.

However, at this time, he had no way out and could only hope that what Xu Damao told them was true, so that he would not be punished.

Wang Hao took out the record of the interview just now.

"This is what Du Dahai said. It records that you misbehaved in the yard, started fighting, destroyed the harmonious life of the people, and disrespected the elderly and the young, etc. What do you want to say?"

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Now he was sure that Du Dahai was the gun in the courtyard. As for whose gun it was, he still needed to ask again.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Du Dahai, and then explained, "Director Wang, this person and I don't know each other at all."

"And what he said was just nonsense, without any concrete facts at all."

"We will naturally investigate this." Wang Hao also knew that things should not be taken at face value, "So, you don't admit these things?"

"Yes, these things are all false and I don't admit it."

"Okay, you go back first, and don't travel far in the next few days. We will look for you at any time to investigate."

Officer Wang waved his hand and asked Yang Xiaotao to leave, preparing to follow normal procedures.

But Yang Xiaotao didn't want to leave alone like this. The purpose of his coming here was to pick out Zhou Peng and let the people behind him jump out.

Yang Xiaotao stood there and continued, "Director Wang, I hope you and your colleagues in the security department can understand my brother's anger."

"After hearing Du Dahai slander us and slander us like this, the honor that our fathers paid for with their lives will be tarnished."

"For this kind of thing, I believe any man with blood will stand up and defend this hot honor."

"I just hope that for the sake of Zhou Peng safeguarding this honor, you will be lenient and give him a lighter punishment."

On the side, Officer Wang looked solemn, and the people in the security office around him also became serious.

If one fails, it will stir up a hornet's nest.

Others may just take it seriously. As a security officer, his political acumen is by no means low, so he naturally understands the meaning of Yang Xiaotao's words.

"We are not soft persimmons."

Officer Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao and then laughed, "Don't worry, we serve the people."

"I will never wrong a good person, and I will never let a bad person go."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's best. We just count on the country to make the decision for us."

"Haha, that's natural."

"Director Wang. Can my brother leave?"

"If compensation is needed, I am willing to pay for his medical expenses."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Du Dahai, who had a bruised nose and swollen face. To put it bluntly, except for Yang Xiaotao's incident, it was essentially a fight. The conflict between the two would be fine.

The reason why Yang Xiaotao was called here was because what Du Dahai said was so shocking.

Who would have thought that there would be such a scum in their steel rolling mill.

"It's okay. I'll send Du Dahai to the infirmary later. We will investigate other matters later."

"You two can leave. Don't start fighting casually in the future."

Director Wang also knew that the family had not made much progress here, and he could also see that Du Dahai was a bit stupid and talked nonsense without thinking. If this happened, it would be his fault.

Zhou Peng got up and walked to Yang Xiaotao, with no fear on his face. Du Dahai, on the other hand, turned a little pale after listening to Yang Xiaotao's words. Now he couldn't care less about the pain in his body and just wanted to go to Xu Damao quickly to confirm what he said. Is it true or not.

Yang Xiaotao was about to leave when two people walked in again outside the door.

The leading middle-aged man had a slender face and a sinister look on his face. As soon as this man came in, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and waved his hand, "Catch him."

Several guards nearby took a look, and then someone stepped forward and grabbed Yang Xiaotao's arms.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the room, especially Yang Xiaotao, who couldn't figure out what happened.

However, he soon saw the person behind the visitor, Liu Haizhong.

"Director Qian, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Wang Hao immediately stepped forward to ask.

Qian Yixing snorted coldly, not giving Wang Hao any face.

Both of them were officers of the Security Section, and even Officer Qian was more senior. However, after Officer Wang arrived, he became his biggest competitor for promotion to section chief.

After meeting, he naturally didn't look good.

"Yang Xiaotao, someone has reported that you are opportunistic and using illegal means for personal gain. Please come with us."

"take away."

After saying that, he was ready to have Yang Xiaotao taken away.

"Wait!"

However, Yang Xiaotao shook his arms and knocked the two guards away, making Wang Hao on the side look shocked.

Then I heard Yang Xiaotao say, "Officer, why do you say that I am speculative? If you have evidence, then bring it out and beat the drum in front of me."

"If not, then you are slandering."

Yang Xiaotao is not a vegetarian either.

Qian Yixing did not expect that Yang Xiaotao would confront him face to face. Looking at the many people in the security office around him, he did not want to overwhelm others, so he immediately called Liu Haizhong to him.

"I received a report from Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level blacksmith in the first workshop."

As he spoke, he took out the report letter, showed it to everyone, and finally asked Liu Haizhong to step forward to identify it.

Liu Haizhong touched his belly and walked to Yang Xiaotao, "Comrades, I am Liu Haizhong, and I am also the second uncle in charge of the courtyard."

"I reported Yang Xiaotao, he is just opportunistic."

"Bangs, you're talking nonsense."

Zhou Peng on the side was about to rush forward angrily, but was stopped by Yang Xiaotao, "Don't make trouble."

"Go to Director Wang from the subdistrict office!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Officer Qian on the side couldn't wait to have Yang Xiaotao captured and prepared to take him away.

This time, Yang Xiaotao did not resist and was led outside the house.

Qian Yixing snorted coldly, and then walked out with Liu Haizhong.

Behind him, Wang Hao thought this was strange and wanted to figure it out.
