Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Jia Dongxu said: "Brother, you make the offer, it's normal for me to counter-offer."

Lao Qi drank his wine and said, "Your price is too high. I can't make a penny. Not only can I not make any money, but I also have to pay for the shipping."

Jia Dongxu asked: "What price did you say?!"

Lao Qi pretended to be indifferent and said, "Here! Since we are old acquaintances, I'll give you a flat price of 160. If you agree, you can take me to see the goods. If you don't agree, we can just part ways. As the saying goes, even if the deal fails, there is still friendship."

Jia Dongxu thought about it and nodded, "Deal! See you at the old place tomorrow morning. I'll show you the goods!"

"Yeah!" Lao Qi nodded, picked up the wine cup, clinked glasses with Jia Dongxu, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said, "You drink slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" After that, Lao Qi stood up and walked out of the tavern.

Huang Ying, who was sitting next to them, heard their conversation clearly. After hesitating for a few seconds, Huang Ying stuffed the last piece of braised meat into her mouth, drank the wine, grabbed the remaining peanuts in her hand, and followed him out of the tavern.

Along the way, Huang Ying followed Lao Qi carefully. She almost lost him several times. After walking for about 20 minutes, Huang Ying saw Lao Qi walk into a courtyard. This courtyard was not connected to the surrounding houses, but a separate courtyard. Huang Ying stared at the courtyard for a while, and when she saw that there was no one around, she quietly walked over.

When Huang Ying ran to the edge of the fence, she could vaguely hear the cry of a child coming from inside. Huang Ying had already guessed what the man was doing, and was afraid of being discovered if she continued to stay there, so she memorized the place firmly in her mind and left quickly.

"Huang Ying, why are you here?!" A little after five o'clock in the afternoon, He Ping had just come out of his office and happened to see Huang Ying appear at the door of his office, and asked casually.

Huang Ying said seriously, "Instructor, when I was drinking in the tavern, I found two people suspicious. I followed one of them to his place of residence. I found out that the person I followed was a human trafficker."

"What?!" He Ping was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?!"

Huang Ying noticed that He Ping looked a little strange, and asked cautiously, "Uncle He, what's wrong?!"

He Ping said: "The family next door to my house lost a grandson a few days ago. In addition, there have been many cases of children being lost in our area recently."

Huang Ying said, "Uncle He, I didn't dare go in just now, but outside the wall, I faintly heard a child crying, as if there was more than one child inside."

He Ping asked: "Where is it?!"

Huang Ying said, "I don't know the name of the place, but I know the way. I can take you there."

"Okay!" He Ping responded and immediately summoned the people from the Public Security Bureau. Except for those who needed to be on duty, all the others went to the armory of the Public Security Bureau, received their weapons and set off.

At the same time, a pair of people dressed as mother and son, holding two sleeping children, appeared at the gate of the courtyard that Lao Qi had just entered, and knocked on the door in a rhythm of three long and three short knocks. Not long after, the door opened, and a thief-looking head stuck out from inside, looked outside, and then motioned for the two to go in. After confirming that there was no one following them, they quickly closed the door.

After the two put the child in the east wing, the woman dressed as a mother came to Lao Qi while wiping her face with paper. This woman no longer had the face of a middle-aged woman, but a face that looked a bit like a man. This woman was none other than Mei Gu, the second most important person in the group after Lao Qi.

Mei Gu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and said, "Seventh Brother, we have a good harvest today. We got two more. The situation outside is very tense recently. When are we going to move to another place?!"

Lao Qi took a puff of his cigarette and said, "All we've gotten recently are children. We haven't gotten the goods that Boss Ma wants. This matter has been dragging on for a long time. I'm afraid we can't get away with it this time. We all know Boss Ma's temper. If we fall out, we'll have one less way to ship goods in the future."

"I'm not as strong as those girls. This Boss Ma just can't recognize the value of gold and jade." Mei Gu said with some displeasure.

"What do you know?!" Lao Qi glared at Aunt Mei and said, "Boss Ma doesn't want the girl for himself. He wants to find a wife for his stupid son."

Mei Gu looked at Lao Qi and said, "From your looks, have you found the goods?!"

Lao Qi said, "Do you remember the two children I asked you to take away from the hospital last time?!"

"I remember!" Mei Gu replied, and asked, "Could it be that person who provided it again?!"

The seventh one nodded and said, "It's him."

Mei Gu asked, "How much did he ask you for this time?!"

The seventh one replied, "One hundred and sixty."

Aunt Mei said thoughtfully, "The price is not high. I just don't know how good the goods are?! The last time, the little girl was too young, but the price was not bad. I heard that the boy was going to sell him to someone in the mountains as a son. Unexpectedly, the boy liked to stir up trouble so much that he pissed off Zhao Er, and he was directly raped by those bastards under Zhao Er. Now he is begging in Yangcheng!"

"You just like to ask about this kind of things." Lao Qi said unhappily, and then asked: "How are the two goods I got today?!"

Mei Gu replied: "Not bad. They are all white and plump."

Lao Qi said, "Come with me tomorrow. Come back in the evening and we'll leave."

"Okay! I'll go cook first!" After saying that, Mei Gu stood up, stretched, and muttered, "You don't even know how to bring back some food. I have to serve you men every day!" After saying that, Mei Gu walked towards the kitchen.

"We're here!" When Aunt Mei finished cooking in the kitchen and was about to invite people to eat, Huang Ying led people to a place not far from the courtyard and pointed to the courtyard in front and said, "It's there."

He Ping looked in the direction Huang Ying pointed, and looking at the courtyard that looked like an isolated island, he said, "You really know how to find a place?!"

Huang Ying asked: "What should we do next?!"

He Ping said: "Now what we have to do is to find a way to figure out what's going on inside."

"Instructor, look! There is smoke coming out of the chimney over there. Are they eating?!" Liu Hua pointed at the chimney and reminded.

He Ping thought for a few seconds and said, "Huang Ying, take three people and go around to the back to see if there is a back door. If there is, you take people to guard there and arrest whoever comes out."

"Yes!" Huang Ying responded and immediately left with the three people.

He Ping continued, "Liu Hua, Hu Qing, each of you take one person to the alleys on the left and right. If anyone climbs over the wall from the yard, arrest them all."

"Yes!" Liu Hua and Hu Qing accepted the order in unison and left with their men.

He Ping then ordered, "Everyone else check your weapons. Follow me and charge in from the front. No matter who it is, if they resist, they will be executed on the spot!"

"Yes!" The other police officers nearby responded in unison, quickly checked their weapons, and followed He Ping to the courtyard.

"Bang!" When Lao Qi and the others who were eating heard the sound of knocking on the door, their faces changed instantly. Lao Qi quickly came to his senses and said, "Grab your weapons! Hu Zi, Ma Zi, you two cover, and the rest of you follow me from the back. Once we get out of the alley, everyone will run separately. Meet up at the old place!"

"Bang! Bang!" He Ping and his men knocked twice more, and the door was knocked open. He Ping took the lead and rushed in with his men.
