Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 564 The mastermind behind the scenes

The man was stunned for a moment, then opened the box and took a look. Inside was a ginseng that looked much older than thirty years old, and even looked like it was almost fifty years old. This thing was definitely a good thing. Even if he couldn't use it for the time being, it would be a treasure to keep at home, and it could be used to save lives when necessary.

And if you just consider the price of this thing, a fifty-year-old ginseng would cost at least five hundred yuan on the market now, and there is still a shortage of people. Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy it. If you really meet someone who urgently needs this kind of old ginseng, you can name a price. Asking for one thousand is not too much.

After a moment's pause, he closed the box with some confusion and asked Lin Geng: "Brother! What do you mean by this? Is there something you want me to help you with?"

Lin Geng laughed and said, "Brother, you are really a smart man, haha! I came to see you this time because I really want you to find out something for me!"

This person immediately became alert, thinking that since Lin Gengyi had given him such a valuable gift, the matter he was looking for him to do must be very important, so he took the box and asked, "What is it that requires you to give me such a valuable gift? Why don't you tell me first, so that I can hear it. After all, I am in the Revolutionary Committee, not a leader, so the help I can give you is very limited!"

After observing the surroundings for a while, Lin Geng smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, brother. I will definitely not make things difficult for you! I won't hide it from you. I have an aunt who was arrested by your Revolutionary Committee for some reason the day before yesterday. So now I am here to ask you about my aunt's situation! Also, please help me find out who wants to frame her and where she is being held now!

As for the other things, I won't make it difficult for you! Just help me find out about these things!"

This person was also a smart man. After listening to Lin Geng's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Geng's request was not excessive. He just wanted him to help find out about the matter. He didn't need to do anything to help. This wouldn't be a big problem for him. As long as Lin Geng didn't say that he told him, then this matter had nothing to do with him.

He then laughed, put the box away, hid it in his arms, and asked Lin Geng: "Okay! You are really generous! Then tell me what your aunt's name is and where she works, and I will go and find out for you!"

So Lin Geng told this person Aunt Zhang's name, work unit and current position. After hearing this, this person's face changed slightly. After thinking for a while, he unconsciously touched the box of ginseng in his arms, looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered to Lin Geng:

"Little brother, I heard about Zhang Shufen's situation. I advise you not to get involved. This is not something we can get involved in! You can't help her!

I will tell you this because you have helped me so much, but you must not tell anyone else. I told you this!"

After hearing this, Lin Geng's expression became serious. He felt that Aunt Zhang was arrested by the Revolutionary Committee this time, and there must be something fishy going on. So he immediately swore to this person: "Brother, don't worry, what you told me today will rot in my stomach! If I say anything nonsense, I will die miserably!"

Seeing Lin Geng was so confident, this person looked around and whispered to Lin Geng, "To be honest, I am involved in this matter, but I am following the orders of our deputy director Lu Mingjian. It was Lu Mingjian who wanted to punish Zhang Shufen!

The reason is actually very simple, at the beginning…"

So, for the sake of the old ginseng in his arms, and considering that the matter had little to do with him and that he himself disliked Lu Mingjian, this man finally told Lin Geng the whole story.

After hearing this, Lin Geng clenched his fists so hard that they made crackling sounds. He knew that someone must have wanted to deliberately make trouble for Aunt Zhang and Uncle Liu. As expected, this Lu Mingjian was the mastermind behind the scenes. He failed to teach his son well, and his son's future was ruined, so he took his anger out on an upright person like Old Liu.

Now that he has become the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, he immediately began to use the power in his hands to kill Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang's family. This Lu Mingjian really deserves to die.

In fact, he was an old revolutionary in the beginning, but when peace came and he tasted the power, he lost his basic party spirit and conscience. For his own selfish interests, he even persecuted his old colleagues and upright old comrades, and used some despicable means to kill good comrades like Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang who were dedicated to the country.

Lu Mingjian absolutely deserves to die. It is a disaster for the country if power is in the hands of such a villain.

So Lin Geng thanked this person and told him not to worry, that this matter would not affect him at all, and told him that if he wanted anything in the future, he could just come to him and he would find a way to solve it for him.

The man patted Lin Geng on the shoulder and said, "If you want to save Zhang Shufen, you still have to ask Commander Liu to find a way! And you have to do it quickly, Zhang Shufen can't hold on for long! This is all I can do for you!"

Lin Geng nodded and watched the man walk away quickly with the old ginseng in his pocket. He lit a cigarette, leaned against a tree and smoked, his mind starting to work rapidly.

If he just wanted to rescue Aunt Zhang, it would not be difficult at all, and it could even be said to be easy. However, simply rescuing Aunt Zhang from the place where she was imprisoned would not completely solve the problem.

Now it is Lu Mingjian who wants to kill Aunt Zhang. By killing Aunt Zhang, he wants to anger Old Liu, and then take the opportunity to find something bad about Old Liu and bring him down.

If he only rescued Aunt Zhang, how would he place her? Moreover, the man surnamed Lu would definitely accuse Aunt Zhang of fleeing for fear of crime. Even if he sent Aunt Zhang to Lao Liu's army, it would be difficult to save the couple. This was the crux of the problem.

If they really want to resolve this matter once and for all, then the best way is to completely get rid of Lu Jianming and cut off the source completely. Then no one will target Lao Liu and Aunt Zhang anymore.

So Lin Geng gritted his teeth, put on a grim smile, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, twisted it out with his toes, then turned and left.

That night, outside a shabby small factory in Sijiu City that was under tight security, a black shadow suddenly appeared. Like a ghost, it avoided the groups of people wearing red armbands who were patrolling around the factory. Just as the two groups of people were crossing each other, the black shadow accelerated and jumped up to the top of the wall, then flipped over like a civet cat and easily crossed the wall, making almost no sound.
