Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Qin Dabao sneered. Look, this is Yi Zhonghai, who is always talking about benevolence and righteousness. He always speaks from the moral high ground, but he doesn't know that bad people are cleaner than him when doing bad things.

"Yi Zhonghai!" Qin Dabao didn't want to save face for this hypocrite anymore and directly named him.

Yi Zhonghai glared. Ever since he became the manager, no one in this yard, or even in this alley, dared to call him by his full name.

"Have you ever heard the old saying? Don't advise others to be good until you've experienced their suffering. If you've experienced my suffering, you might not be as good as I am. Do you understand the cause and effect of things?"

"Qin Dabao, no matter what the cause and effect are, this is not a reason for you to hit someone! I'm telling you, today's matter is not going to go away with me. I'm the one making the decision. You kowtow and apologize, otherwise I'll send you to the police station and put you in jail."

Qin Dabao laughed heartily: "Yi Zhonghai, you are so awesome! You asked me to kowtow and apologize, and I apologized? Are you a feudal emperor? Who can live and die at will?"

Yi Zhonghai shuddered with fear. If he was accused of this, he would have to eat free peanuts within a week.

Liu Haizhong was so frightened that he took a step back. He thought, "It's better to stay away from him. What Lao Yi said is a trap!" He didn't dare to get close to him.

When the old man saw that everyone's attention had been diverted, he quickly redirected the conversation.

"Qin Dabao, don't make a big deal out of this. We're talking about you beating someone up."

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, let me ask you this: if someone were willing to kill your parents in order to take away your job or house, even if they were your closest relatives, what would you do?"

With a "Wow...", Qin Dabao's words made the neighbors explode. Who could have thought that watching the fun would cause such a big scandal? This is no ordinary thing. If it is true, they will definitely eat peanuts.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale: "Speak clearly!"

Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Qianchuan's wife Dong Guihua were panicked and rushed over to cover Qin Dabao's mouth.

The neighbors were enjoying a large melon, so how could they be interrupted? Jia Zhang was quick to grab them.

"Xiao Qin, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

"Yes, tell me quickly."

The excitement of the onlookers was even greater than their own salary increase, and their eyes were shining.

The custom of watching excitement and not fearing trouble has long been engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.

"She, they, I overheard this person yesterday..." Qin Dabao pointed at the unconscious Lu Qianchuan: "They said that in order to replace Lu Baiwen's job, they became city dwellers and sent a message to Lu Baiwen, saying that his mother was sick and dying, and asked Lu Baiwen and his wife to return to the countryside. They arranged for someone to rob and kill them on the way. On the way, Lu Baiwen and his wife were killed by the murderers they hired..."

"You're talking nonsense! You're a beast! I'm sick, and I asked my son and daughter-in-law to come and see me for the last time. This is filial piety, is there a problem with that? How would I know there were robbers on the road?"

Old Mrs. Lu broke free from Jia Zhang's hand and jumped up and down, cursing.

The onlookers started talking again.

"Yes, the mother is sick, so isn't it normal to let her son and daughter-in-law go and see her?"

"This Xiao Qin, he usually looks like an honest nerd, but when he starts making up lies, he has so many lies!"

There were also sober ones: "I think what Qin Dabao said is a little credible. Look at that old lady Lu, she is full of energy, how can she look like someone who is sick and dying?"

Some people who understood the situation shouted, "That's not right. The old lady kept explaining that she was sick. She didn't say the child was talking nonsense..."

People were shocked. Sure enough, it was true.

Yi Zhonghai snorted heavily, and the discussion became quieter. No one could match his prestige in the hospital and the factory.

"Qin Dabao, as the old saying goes, catching a thief and seizing the stolen goods is the only way to get what you want. You're accusing the three members of the Lu family with your own words and without any evidence. Let me tell you, this is a false accusation and you'll go to jail!"

"I'm making false accusations? Haha, I'll take responsibility for every word I say. I'll report the case to the police station. Also, I beat them today because they're not human beings, they're animals. Look how I beat the child!"

Qin Dabao hugged the little girl tightly and rolled up her sleeves. Her little arms were covered with bruises and needle marks.

People who were close by could see clearly that the scars all over the body, coupled with the little girl's pitiful face, immediately aroused everyone's sympathy.

People started to curse and shout, and now public opinion was one-sided in Qin Dabao's favor.

The uncle's face was as gloomy as water. His face, which used to look quite righteous, now had a bit of ferocity: "What nonsense are you talking about? The old ladies are from the countryside, how can they know the rules in the city? Besides, this child is disobedient, and everyone would spank him..."

His shout suppressed the crowd again.

Old Mrs. Lu and Dong Guihua looked at each other and immediately started howling.

"Oh my, this is unbearable. Son, quickly crawl out of the grave and take this little beast who wronged your mother away."

Jia Zhang was furious. Damn it! Two stinky old women, why are they stealing my lines?

"He's a great man, you have to stand up for us. This little bastard is wrongly accusing us. It's snowing in June. God will strike you down!"

The old man was so upset, and he was even saying, "God bless you!" Don't you know that promoting superstitions will result in a class?

"Stop acting! Let me tell you, the killer you hired has been arrested!"

"What? Impossible? They..." Dong Guihua blurted out and quickly covered her mouth.

"Impossible? Haha, aren't the murderers you hired Fan Er and Fan San from Kongqiao Village in Fangshan? Isn't that the son your mother gave birth to before she remarried?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a thunderclap, frightening Mrs. Lu and Dong Guihua half to death. They couldn't say a word and could only tremble.

Lu Qianchuan had just woken up, but when he heard Qin Dabao's words, he fainted again.

"What happened?" a voice sounded.

The neighbors who were watching all turned around to look.

Three police officers and Director Wang from the Street Office came over.

Qin Dabao came forward holding the little girl and told her what had happened. The three police officers and Director Wang looked more and more serious as they listened.

"My name is Tan Yongjun, and I'm the director of the Gulou Police Station. Qin Dabao, what you just said, that someone hired a killer to kill this child's parents, is this true?"

"Yes, Chief Tan, last night, I overheard them say that the murderers were two brothers named Fan Er and Fan San, who lived in Kongqiao Village, Fangshan District. They were half-brothers of Lu Qianchuan's wife, and..." Qin Dabao said loudly: "I also heard them say that these two murderers were remnants of bandits who ran back from the Northeast!"

There was a sudden commotion, and the situation became chaotic again. At that time, the country had just been founded, and there were many remnants of bandits who were roaming around, relying on relatives and friends, trying to escape the government's capture. However, due to the lack of information, as long as no one exposed or reported them, they would not commit crimes again, and the government would not put in a lot of effort and waste manpower, material and financial resources to investigate and deal with them.

"You, you're talking nonsense..." Dong Guihua's tone was already weak. She tried hard to recall whether she had talked about these things with her man last night. How come she had no recollection of it at all?

At this point, Tan Yongjun and Director Wang became even more serious. If these things were confirmed, it would be a big case.

"Get up and come with us. Qin Dabao, you come with us and go to the police station to make a statement."

"No, I won't go! I didn't do it. I'm Lu Baiwen's mother, how could I harm them? It's so unfair..."

Tan Yongjun glanced at Mrs. Lu and shouted, "Let's go! Let's talk about it back at the station!"

A policeman came up and handcuffed them without saying a word, and dragged them out. Old Mrs. Lu and Dong Guihua cried loudly, their trouser legs were wet, and they were scared to pee.

Another police officer handcuffed Lu Qianchuan who had just woken up.

"Hey uncle, please beg for mercy for us, we are not bad people..."

Yi Zhonghai really didn't want to take the lead, but seeing that the neighbors were all looking at him with complicated eyes, he knew that if he took the lead, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he could leave the neighbors with the impression that he was capable of taking responsibility.

"That Director Wang and Director Tan, these two people are Lu Baiwen's mother and sister-in-law. Think about it, how can there be such a heartless person? They even harm their own relatives?"

Director Tan sneered: "Yi Zhonghai, so you guarantee them? Guarantee that they are not the murderers of Lu Baiwen and his wife?"

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. What a joke! Who would dare to guarantee this? He had lived for more than forty years and had seen a lot of things in this world. Not to mention brothers killing each other, he had even seen parents buried alive for the sake of profit. In fact, he believed what Qin Dabao said. At this time, he was simply talking nonsense and coming up to show his presence.

Director Tan asked him to provide a guarantee, how could he do it?

Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled back the topic: "Of course, no matter whether it is true or not, we have to take it back and investigate it thoroughly."

He sternly addressed Mrs. Lu and Dong Guihua, "You must trust the government. The government will not wrongly accuse innocent people. You must confess honestly."

The two old women stared at him in amazement, muttering, "It's over, it's all over."

Director Tan waved his hand and said, "Take him away."
