The conspiracy of the courtyard

When Lu Zixuan saw He Yuzhu's confused look, he knew that he had doubts in his heart.

"We don't need to worry about Lao Zheng's matter for now. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will answer them for you and save you from losing sleep again."

He Yuzhu laughed awkwardly and asked hesitantly:

"I do have a few things that I don't understand. How did you know that the worker at the steel mill secretly took the scrap parts out to sell for money?"

Lu Zixuan answered frankly:

"Uncle, you are in the factory every day, you must have noticed that many people often complain about back pain and can't stand up straight, right?

In fact, it is not back pain, but they are hiding leg pain. They use ropes to tie iron blocks to the waist of their pants, and the iron blocks hang down along the pants to the thighs. Don't you notice that their pants are loose?

I have observed the body search process of the security department, and they only searched the upper body, so either they knew the inside story and didn't want to offend anyone, or they participated in it themselves.

This is a good opportunity to lift the veil on them, so that Lao Zheng can deal with those troublesome old workers with justification.

But I didn’t expect that Lao Zheng would be transferred. If I had known that, I wouldn’t have exposed them.

I thought I could sell well to Lao Zheng and earn a small favor, but it turned out to be a mirage.

As for how I knew about their activities, it was because I often went to the scrap yard and had seen them many times.

It only costs a dime to get the answer from there, and the people at the scrap yard won't hide it for them."

He Yuzhu recalled the past and couldn't help but admire:

"That's amazing! Did you really prepare those invoices a year ago? If they didn't follow us, then you worked for nothing for a year?"

Lu Zixuan smiled mischievously and said:

"You think I can buy the secrets of the steel mill for ten cents, and can't I have the billing clerk give me some bills for fifty cents?

It was only after I discovered they were following me that I thought of going to the scrap yard to get a receipt. I had already thrown away the items before that.

No one cares about the age of the invoices, they only care about their authenticity.

And I let three ticket issuers take turns.

The three of them knew the source of the invoice and had received the money. Who would be willing to give themselves up?

Even if Director Zhou investigates, he won't be able to find me.

Remember, the best way to get people to keep a secret is not to silence them but to get them involved.

In this way, you will have a common secret, your relationship will be closer, and it will be much easier to do things in the future.

Even if something happens in the future, this person cannot be your scapegoat, but at least he can share part of the responsibility and you can reduce the punishment."

He Yuzhu was a little stunned when he heard this, and felt that this was not in line with his style.

But it sounds reasonable, I just feel a little uncomfortable.

He suddenly remembered the cafeteria and asked:

"Ah? I seem to have been pulled on board. The canteen director often takes some meat or flour home. Although I noticed it, I didn't say anything.

But when he brought things home some time ago, he always left some for me to take back. Have I become his scapegoat?"

Lu Zixuan smiled and replied:

“It’s okay, just remember not to sign anything.

Just take those things generously. If you don’t take them, you will be made a fool of yourself and then you will be the scapegoat.

Moreover, you should spread his goodness everywhere and let him know your loyalty.

Your situation is different from what I said. This is the rule of the workplace.

If he gives you something, take it. If he doesn't give you something, you must not ask for it, and you must not touch things that do not belong to you without permission."

He Yuzhu nodded thoughtfully, as if he had understood something.

Seeing this, Cheng Xiaoman thought that He Yuzhu should have no other questions, so she asked:

"Then how did you know about Deputy Director Zhou's embezzlement? And how did you judge that Director Zhou would beat him up?"

Lu Zixuan replied calmly:

“It is very difficult to expose this kind of corruption if you don’t see it with your own eyes.

Deputy Director Zhou had been responsible for collecting the subsidy for their family from the district government. He was somewhat negligent and did not completely destroy the receipts he collected on behalf of others. As a result, these receipts accidentally appeared in the file bag recording the school fire losses.

It was this small mistake that gave Xiaojing, who was investigating Yan Bugui, the opportunity to discover that Xiaojing was the youngest son of that family.

I have been thinking about how to inform the military leaders of this situation.

Today is a perfect opportunity because there are many retired soldiers among the leaders of the police station, security department, and those present here today.

Through them, the news can naturally reach the troops.

As for the reason why Director Zhou took action, believe it or not, even if he didn't take action, someone else would have done it.

In fact, Director Zhou was forced to take action. He was afraid that others would take action, so he had to wait until he was discharged from the hospital before he could punish Deputy Director Zhou.

They may not be from the same unit, but as soldiers, they are bound to have empathy.

Why didn’t the people from the police station pull Chief Zhou away in time, and why didn’t others stop Chief Zhou’s behavior?

That’s because everyone has an indescribable hatred for these corrupt elements.”

Chen Ping cast an inquiring look at Lu Zixuan.

"That Xiao Jing, he's probably not an ordinary person, right? After all, who can easily step into the archives room? I've been there before, and I know how difficult it is to find a document.

I'm afraid that story is not as simple as it seems. Your kindness definitely does not include standing up for others."

Lu Zixuan couldn't help but change his opinion of Chen Ping. He didn't expect that she began to pay attention to those subtle details.

"You're right. Both of them are talented and good at investigation. Dajing often runs in the mountains and forests, and his five senses are particularly sharp. Xiaojing has a quick mind, is careful in his work, and is good at noticing details.

The story is true, and the real situation is even worse. You would definitely cry when you saw it. I picked them up outside the grain station.

They would rather starve themselves to death than touch the buns I dropped on the ground. I found such people strange, so I asked him about his family's situation in detail.

His family is really principled, I really admire them, I really tried my best to convince them to help me. "

Chen Ping wanted to ask about the details, but was interrupted by Cheng Xiaoman.

"What does it mean that Yan Bugui uses children to pass messages?"

Lu Zixuan thought for a while before answering this question.

“The school has a policy of exemptions for students from poor families. It was Yan Bugui who fought for that child to be exempted from tuition.

The child has always been grateful to him, and Yan Bugui easily persuaded him to pass some information to Lai Wu.

Lai Wu is the thief who was paraded through the streets a few days ago. We didn’t ask about the deal between him and Yan Bugui, so we don’t know. Maybe he was the one who sold the stolen goods for Yan Bugui.

Anyway, the charge of selling school assets privately is enough for him to bear, but he is really good at scheming and has a lot of guts.

The old principal was promoted, but the new principal has not arrived yet, and there is no vice principal or director to take charge. At this time, the school is in a vacuum.

He was the gatekeeper and had the key to the warehouse, so it was indeed easy for him to move things from the school.

Based on my understanding of him, I guess the fire that burned down the warehouse was not necessarily set by him. Someone must have helped him.

Since the school has chosen to keep the matter quiet, there is no need to take it too seriously. It would be inappropriate if other people are involved.

Besides, my goal has been achieved, which is to get him to move to another place and not delay my work in the Siheyuan."
