Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

As a man who has been in the underworld for decades, Jiu Ye has demonstrated his ability to bend and stretch to the fullest. He knelt down in front of Li Dongfang and said, "Commander, I was blind and didn't recognize a great man. You are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with me."

Li Dongfang shook his finger and said, "No, no, no, I'm not arguing with you, it's you who doesn't take me seriously. You don't even want to answer the questions I ask you."

Jiu Ye's eyes were also full of confusion, his eyeballs moving rapidly, weighing the pros and cons. He couldn't afford to offend the man in front of him, and he couldn't afford to offend Young Master Zhao either.

Li Dongfang stood up and paced back and forth in front of Master Jiu, saying, "I heard from Zhijian that you usually take good care of her, and I had a good impression of you. I didn't expect you to put on such a good show right away. Now, are you trying to act like a righteous man and block all the charges, and then hope that Mr. Zhao can get you out?"

Without waiting for Jiu Ye to speak, Li Dongfang continued, "It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Let me guess... I think Mr. Zhao should be a second-generation disciple. Hmm... Since he can make you so afraid, is he from the public security department?"

As he spoke, Li Dongfang looked at the man next to him and said, "Go check and see if there is anyone with the surname Zhao in the Drum Tower. He may have been transferred here from another place."

"Yes!" The man saluted without hesitation, turned around and left the yard.

Jiu Ye was so shocked by Li Dongfang's analysis that his eyes almost popped out. Little did he know that Li Dongfang had already used the insight card to understand the whole matter clearly.

Sitting down again, Li Dongfang held his chin with his hand, propped his elbow on his knee, looked at Jiu Ye and continued: "I gave you the opportunity but you are useless. It seems that there is no need for you to exist. You have done a lot of bad things over the years, right?"

Jiu Ye lowered his head dejectedly, clenched his fist and said: "I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything, I just hope the chief can give us a chance to reform."

Li Dongfang leaned back with interest, half lying on the chair, listening to Jiu Ye's instructions.

They are not extremely vicious, but they are not good people either. Running the pigeon market is their main business, and lending money on the side. Fighting is also commonplace. As for that Mr. Zhao, he is just the son of the deputy director of the North City Branch who was just transferred from Jinshi. He relied on his father's power to do all kinds of evil things in Jinshi.

This time, he saw the Golden Branch Stream at Jiu Ye's place, and immediately became malicious and forced Jiu Ye to send the Golden Branch Stream to him.

This Jiu Ye is no good either. After a slight threat, he completely disregarded the kindness the Jin family had shown him in the past and sold Jinzhijian without hesitation.

As Jiu Ye spoke, Jin Zhijian seemed to recall the help he had given them in his early years. She couldn't help but soften her heart and hesitated whether to plead for Jiu Ye. If it weren't for Jiu Ye's care, she might not have survived those most chaotic years.

Jin Zhijian finally couldn't resist the overflow of compassion, and said to Li Dongfang in a soft voice: "Dongfang, although Jiu Ye's actions this time were very excessive, he did help me sincerely in the past. There were several times when I might have died without Jiu Ye's help, so...can you..."

Li Dongfang was very pleased that Jin Zhijian called him Dongfang. He looked at Jiu Ye in a good mood and said, "Since Zhijian has spoken, I will give you a chance."

Jiu Ye immediately became excited. Who wouldn't want to live if they could avoid death?

"You say, you say, as long as I can do it, I will do it without any objection." Even Brother Hu and the others looked at Li Dongfang with shining eyes.

Li Dongfang pondered for a moment and said, "Since you are known as the tyrant of Gulou, you must be very familiar with everything going on in this area?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Ye and Hu Ge nodded frantically, fearing that they would be too slow and cause dissatisfaction among Li Dongfang.

"In that case, you should make amends for your crimes. I'll give you three days, and I hope you can produce all the spy intelligence for me. It doesn't have to be accurate, and I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go, but there must be reasonable suspicion. Don't let me find you making random accusations. If you do, don't blame me for being ruthless." There are a lot of intelligence personnel in Beijing these days. Not to mention those sent by Chiang Kai-shek who fled south, there are dozens or even hundreds of them every year.

The reason why Li Dongfang asked Jiu Ye to do this was that he was a figure who had existed from the previous dynasty to the present, and all parties would not be too wary of him. Moreover, they were originally wandering in the dark, so it would be easier for them to get information about underground things.

Of course, Li Dongfang also has his own selfish motives. His situation has now attracted the attention of all parties. As long as he works hard to investigate, his identity will definitely attract the attention of all countries. For the safety of himself and those around him, Li Dongfang feels that he should spare no effort to eliminate these spies as many as possible.

"This..." Jiu Ye hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and agreed. He was also worried about being discovered. After all, these people were much more ruthless than them and were definitely not afraid of death.

Li Dongfang also reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. You just need to organize the intelligence for me. You don't have to do anything. As long as you catch enough, maybe you can still go home for the New Year."

When Jiu Ye heard that they didn't need to arrest anyone, he immediately became confident. It would be very easy for them to get information. There were so many people idling around every day. As long as they found a suspicious target, they would be able to investigate him thoroughly.

At this time, the people who went to investigate Mr. Zhao also came back and handed Li Dongfang two photos and said, "We have checked it out. Zhao Jiankang, the deputy director of the North City Branch, was transferred from Jinshi two months ago. Zhao Jun, Zhao Jiankang's son, was arrogant and domineering when he was in Jinshi. There is news that he arranged people to take the blame for the cases his father solved behind the scenes."

There is no need for too detailed information. Li Dongfang can probably restore the true situation almost exactly after just one listen. After all, there are too many such things in later generations shown on TV.

Li Dongfang felt that it was understandable that the second generation was a little arrogant, but this did not include the scum who attacked the lower classes or even the grassroots people.

If you really have the ability, fight with people of the same level. What's the point of bullying others by taking advantage of your power? Moreover, such people have the worst influence on the image of the upper class. So Li Dongfang can give Jiu Ye a chance, but this Mr. Zhao has no mercy at all. Just think about how desperate and helpless the people who are persecuted by him with his power will be.

He waved to Master Jiu, signaling them to leave. "In three days, no matter how much we have found out, you must bring all your men and surrender, and hand over the intelligence together. I will have people coordinate and give you appropriate leniency. If you refuse to go or run away, it doesn't matter. Believe me, you will be shot on the spot."
