Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

Chapter 68: Blackmail and Extortion

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that even though he had been caught in the act, Li Polu was still fearless and even secretly scolded him.

Although she was a little suspicious about him beating Jia Zhang, she got angry when she thought about him calling her an old and useless person.

He was a man of high moral integrity and respect. Li Polu actually dared to curse him in public and say that he would be extinct. Didn't he know that what he hated most in his life was that others would use this matter to attack him?

He immediately said angrily: "Li Polu, what do you mean by this? You beat Jia Zhang, do you want to rely on your good relationship with the factory security department to turn black into white?"

Li Polu denied it three times directly: "I didn't, I wasn't, don't talk nonsense. You called the Street Office to deal with my beating of Jia Zhang, and I called the Security Department to deal with your false accusation of the factory cadres. These are two different things."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Li Polu's words, he knew that he had been careless again.

After all, he didn't see Li Polu take action, he just heard Jia Zhang howling when he came out.

His hatred for Li Polu and his past affection for Jia Zhang made him subconsciously choose to believe Jia Zhang's words. However, he essentially ignored Jia Zhang's nature.

Seeing that Yan Jiefang had rushed back from the Moon Gate and was about to take the fifty cents from Li Polu's hand, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly grabbed Yan Jiefang.

"Jiefang, wait a moment. I've thought about it and decided that matters in the hospital should be handled within the hospital. It's late at night, so don't alarm the comrades from the street office."

"Okay, Master Yi. Then I won't go to call the street office. You can let go now."

After hearing Yan Jiefang say that he would not go to the subdistrict office, Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on Yan Jiefang's arm.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he let go, Yan Jiefang ran to Li Polu, grabbed the fifty cents from Li Polu's hand and ran out: "Brother Polu, wait for me, I'll be back soon."

He shouted while running.

Yi Zhonghai was so annoyed. Didn't we agree not to go?

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai was standing near the front yard. Yan Jiefang would have to pass by him again when he walked out.

He quickly grabbed Yan Jiefang again, but Yan Jiefang's momentum was too strong and almost took Yi Zhonghai flying.

Yi Zhonghai staggered and quickly steadied himself, thus avoiding embarrassment in public.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you not to notify the street office? Why are you still running outside?" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily.

Yan Jiefang, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, was still in his youth and said in a somewhat innocent tone: "No, Master Yi. I didn't plan to go to the street office. I took Brother Li Polu's money and planned to help him call the security department."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. He wanted to scold Yan Jiefang, but he couldn't say anything.

Because he also felt that what the boy said made sense. He told him not to go to the street office, and he really didn't plan to go, he just went out to do something else.

Yi Zhonghai said somewhat awkwardly: "Well, the comrades in the security department are also on break. We can handle the issues in our yard by ourselves."

Yan Jiefang glanced at Li Polu and said hesitantly, "But I have already received the money from Brother Polu."

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger. After all, he was not his son, so he could not act as freely as Liu Haizhong. Moreover, there was Lao Deng staring at him covetously.

Then he tried to say in a friendly manner: "It's okay, just give me the money and I'll return it to Li Polu later. Xiao Li, don't you agree?"

Hearing this, Yan Jiefang looked at Li Polu with a confused look on his face. He seemed to be asking, should I listen to this old man?

Li Polu shrugged indifferently: "Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

At this time, Liu Guangtian had almost called over all the neighbors who had just returned home. However, the hungry people were obviously quite resentful.

"We have a meeting every day, and no two meetings are the same. If you don't know, you might think our institute is some kind of secret organization."

"That's right. If you ask me, these three masters in our hospital have nothing better to do. They just keep mistreating us."

"Of course not. Who can be like them and have enough to eat every day?"

"You said that the meeting the day before yesterday was because of Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, and yesterday it was Xu Damao and Sha Zhu, and why is it today? It can't be because of Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e."

"Just shut up. Lou Xiao'e is divorced and no longer in our hospital. No one would treat her like you do."

"Alright, alright. Stop talking. The two gentlemen and Master Yi are waiting."

"Fuck, why did Lao Deng come so early today?"

"That's right. He won't show off today. Is he the last one to appear?"

Now the group of people in the courtyard were not used to the three uncles arriving early. Even though Yi Zhonghai was standing in the courtyard, they still kept chattering. But their voices were a little lower than before.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Yi Zhonghai's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. As for the two uncles, they had no expression on their faces. Liu Haizhong even looked like he wanted to laugh.

There was no other reason, because this group of people were complaining about Yi Zhonghai, and he and Yan Bugui were just criticized in passing.

Let me ask you, is there anything that could make Yi Zhonghai happier than being complained about by people in the hospital?

Yi Zhonghai felt a little regretful. When he realized that Li Polu was so confident, he was about to call back Liu Guangtian who was going door to door to call people back.

But later he was so angry at the fool Yan Jiefang that he forgot about it in his excitement.

Originally, he proposed to hold a meeting of the entire courtyard in order to incite public opinion to attack Li Polu and force him to move out of the courtyard.

But in this situation now, it seems that he is the one being attacked by public opinion.

The mechanism of Jia Zhang's summoning skill is that the more people watch, the stronger the summoning will be.

Jia Zhang, who had already turned off the fire, saw that everyone in the hospital had arrived. What else could she do? I'm not polite.

"Old Jia, open your eyes and take a look. Someone is bullying us, an orphan and a widow. Come up and take that damn Li Polu away.

Old Jia, open your eyes and take a look, Li Polu is not a human being......"

The reason why Jia Zhang's necromancy was always successful was mainly due to two points.

One is the spell used in the process of summoning the spirit, and the other is her extremely unpleasant voice.

The combination of the two creates an effect of 1+1 being greater than 2. The spell is so penetrating that it makes people's heads buzz.

If you get too close, it will even cause a physical attack (with a splash enchantment effect).

Just think about it, when a normal person is faced with such a double attack of physical and magical, what kind of fighting power would he have?

Therefore, when they heard Jia Zhang lying on the ground with her limbs flailing and her mouth full of feces, everyone who had just arrived in the middle courtyard frowned.

Even the two elderly men closest to her and her sweetheart Xiao Yi unconsciously moved a few feet away from her.

In the end, the overall situation still had to be stabilized by Yi Zhonghai. He first stepped forward and pulled Jia Zhang up to comfort her.

Then he said, "The main reason I called everyone here today is because of the issue of Li Polu beating Jia Zhang for no reason just now. And..."

"Wait, wait," Yi Zhonghai was interrupted by Li Polu before he could finish his words.

"Brother Yi, why do I dislike what you said? Why did I beat Jia Zhang? There were many people watching in the courtyard just now. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I will call the security department."

Yi Zhonghai coughed twice hurriedly, okay, he didn’t get away with it.
