The conspiracy of the courtyard

Although Lu Zixuan was not satisfied with He Yuzhu's answer, he still praised it:

"Well, uncle is right, but he thinks it's a little simple. Aunt, seeing that you are so excited, why don't you express your opinion as well?"

"I observed very carefully today. I think Yi Zhonghai didn't know what the deaf woman was planning and just followed her lead.

The deaf woman should have known that there was something wrong with the dish. She must have seen it before... Anyway, it's a bad thing. I know it even without you telling me.

That's why she pretended so conscientiously and even walked unsteadily.

There is also Aunt Yi. I was very grateful to her for giving me steamed buns in the past.

Now it seems that the only one he cares about is his disciple, so let's just treat him as a neighbor. I don't care about other people."

He Yushui also shared his observations and insights.

Chen Ping didn't wait to ask, and directly followed He Yushui's words and said:

"I did notice something else. It seems that only the deaf woman noticed the difference in the dishes. She didn't tell anyone else about her plan. It seems that she looks down on Yi Zhonghai and is simply using him.

Son, have you figured out that the deaf woman is pretending?"

Lu Zixuan highly praised the three of them

"Great, what you said is all right, especially my mom and my aunt, they have made rapid progress.

Yan Bugui instigated Jia Dongxu to steal, which is taking advantage of the situation.

Even if we knew, we couldn't do anything to him. He just told the truth. This is the most vicious person. But he didn't expect Jia Dongxu to sell him out so thoroughly.

Today I will let you tell me what happened to Yan Bugui, mainly about Yan Jiecheng and his sister. He probably won’t have the chance to plot against anyone again in the next one or two years.

As for the deaf woman, if I had known she was pretending, wouldn't I have exposed her on the spot?

I didn't see it at all. You three think too highly of me. Yi Zhonghai should have nothing to do with this matter.

It was Yan Bugui who instigated Jia Dongxu to steal things. Jia Dongxu gave them to Aunt Zhou as a gift, and Aunt Zhou gave them to the deaf woman. The deaf woman wanted to use this as a handle to control her uncle.

That should be it. It's over now and we haven't lost anything.

Today, Xu Damao must have been instructed by someone to talk nonsense, but no matter who it was, he, Xu Damao, must bear the consequences.

As for who is behind this, it should be revealed soon.

Mom, ask Wang Duofu to arrange a few idle people tomorrow.

Go near the cinema, near the courtyard, around the steel plant, and at Xu Damao's school.

Spread the word that Xu Damao is a little waste and has a bad brain.

No matter who asks, just say that I heard it from an old woman with bound feet. Everyone knows how to throw dirty water.

After Xu Damao's news has passed, the news about the deaf old woman will come next.

They said she had once had an affair with a cook, which was why she was so picky about food. They said someone saw her secretly meeting her illegitimate child.

Since you don't want to be quiet, let's make it lively. We can't just make moves by them, we should also change positions."

So, starting from a week later, everyone tried to avoid Xu Damao when they saw him. Xu Damao had no idea that a huge web of rumors had surrounded him.

It was not until a month later, when Xu Fugui gave Xu Damao a good beating, that he finally understood why everyone stayed away from him.

The next day, two drunk men with red faces and thick necks walked into the wrong yard and smashed the deaf woman's house to pieces. It was an hour after the drunks left that Aunt Zhou dared to help the deaf woman clean up.

The effect of smashing and looting was immediate, and those gossiping people all disappeared in an instant. But the legend of "retarded Mao" and "useless Mao" remained forever.

Less than half a month later, rumors spread again, but this time the target was the deaf woman. It was said that she had been a bandit's concubine when she was young and had miscarried several times.

He also said that she had had an affair with some wounded soldiers and even gave birth to a child, which was why she did not get married and did not dare to meet her illegitimate child.

They also said that she used to be the top girl in the Eight Great Hutongs, but now that she is old, she has started to cultivate herself and stay at home, never leaving the front door or the back door...

Then the glass in Xu Fugui's house was always smashed for no apparent reason.

At the same time, it was reported that Xu Fugui liked to have secret meetings with widows, and that Xu Fugui's wife was a maid in a wealthy family...

When rumors were flying everywhere, Chen Ping and Lu Zixuan no longer cared about those gossips because Chen Ping had been reported, and Director Wang had also been reported.

According to the report letter, the main purpose was to report Director Wang, who used his power to help Chen Ping stir up trouble in the Siheyuan, put pressure on the steel plant, and forced the workers to write a confession.

It also lists Chen Ping's actions of being an accomplice of the evil, oppressing the people, and cutting off their livelihoods. He was all-powerful in the courtyard and interfered with the affairs of the Military Control Commission... Each of these cases has a specific time and victim.

Chen Ping, who was suspended from work and under investigation, sat in Director Wang's office with Lu Zixuan, looking like she had lost all hope in life.

Director Wang looked at Chen Ping and Lu Zixuan and said:

"Do you have any suspects? This is clearly revenge. I told you that if you encounter someone who is unreasonable, you must deal with it with lightning speed.

You agreed so readily, but you forgot it the moment you turned around. I have asked Wang Duofu to check the source of the report letter.

Logically speaking, this should be an act of joint revenge by these companies, but they probably have no way to hand the letter to the district chief.

Think about it again and see if the others have any motives."

Chen Ping could do nothing except shake her head blankly and sigh.

Lu Zixuan listed a lot of candidates in his mind, each of them was suspicious, but was ruled out.

When he was at his wit's end, he picked up the letter of denunciation again, pointed at the contents with his little hand, and read it word by word.

After reading it twice, he picked up the pencil again and began to write the names mentioned in the report letter in Chen Ping's notebook. When he was almost done, he threw the pencil on the table and said excitedly:

"I think I have an idea, you guys listen to me, right?

First, the entire letter is about my mother's various evil deeds, but not one of them is narrated from beginning to end; it only describes the actions.

Then I guess that maybe, because of these things, the whistleblower only heard about them and did not participate in them personally.

Second, although the report letter was full of accusations against my mother, there was no hatred in it. Instead, the accusations were all directed at my grandmother.

Third, the names that appear in this report are basically impossible. Because when we write anonymous reports, we usually avoid our own affairs. We are afraid of becoming a suspect. "

Chen Ping was a little impatient and complained:

"No matter how much you analyze, there is still no conclusion. What we need to know now is who reported it."

"Chen Ping, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you blaming Xuanxuan? What the child said makes sense, but you don't want to hear it. Think about it yourself.

Come on, Xuanxuan, your mother doesn't want to hear it, so don't tell her, tell grandma, she believes you."

When Director Wang heard Chen Ping complaining about Lu Zixuan, he immediately questioned her.

Chen Ping lowered her head again and remained silent.

Lu Zixuan looked at Director Wang and said

"Okay, grandma, I'll continue. I just connected the names that were excluded, and it seems that the people they know in common are all from our street office."
