Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

In the winter of 1948, there were less than twenty days left until the Chinese New Year.

Inside the Baizhifang Police Station in Beiping City, Zhao Cheng was playing cards with Yan San and a patrolman.

"Rob the landlord!" Zhao Cheng danced with joy.

"I'll grab it!" Yan San looked at the cards in his hand and also started to grab the landlord position.

"No!" The patrolman looked at the pile of numbers in his hand and gave up decisively.

"I'll grab it again, haha, it's finally my turn, I'll kill you all with this hand!" Zhao Cheng happily turned over the three cards on the table and saw the Queen of Diamonds, the King of Hearts, and the Jack. He laughed out loud.

Yan San looked at the cards in his hand, then looked at the three cards on the table.

He exchanged a glance with the patrolman and shook his head helplessly.

"The plane has wings!" Zhao Cheng played the card first and threw out a plane directly.

"I can't afford it!"

"Pass!"

Yan San and the patrolman had no way of doing anything about it, so they could only let it go.

"Haha, an 8!"

"A 10!" Yan Sanguan came up.

"A J!" The patrolman also stepped in.

"Explode!" Zhao Cheng threw four preserved eggs on the table!

"I can't afford it!" Yan San was helpless.

"I can't afford it either!" The young patrolman said the same thing.

"Look how you two lose this time! I want to win back everything I lost before! Keep bombing!" Zhao Cheng continued to play cards.

Yan San and his companions still couldn't afford it. When Zhao Cheng played his last card, Yan San and his companions had no choice but to give up resistance.

"Haha, Third Brother, Sixth Son, come here, come and get the money quickly! Haha, it's all back, all back!" No wonder Zhao Cheng was so happy.

In today's card game, Zhao Cheng had been losing since the beginning, and had lost nearly two dollars in total. If he hadn't won this round, Zhao Cheng would have folded his cards and run away.

Yan San and Liu Zi had no choice but to return the money they had won to Zhao Cheng.

"Can you guys do something serious?" Xu Tian walked in from outside and saw the three of them playing cards again. Xu Tian couldn't help but complain.

Almost a week has passed since Zhao Cheng helped Xu Tian catch the Little Red Coat. These days, Xu Tian has been busy with the follow-up work of the case and has no time to pay attention to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng had nothing to do. Apart from patrolling every day, the rest of the time he spent playing cards with Yan San and Liuzi.

Zhao Cheng had taught Yan San and Liu Zi how to play Landlord. The winnings and losses weren't big, and although Yan San and Liu Zi were also poor, none of them cared. Winnings and losses were just one dollar. Today, Zhao Cheng lost two dollars, which was his biggest loss recently.

"Brother Tian'er is back. Do you want to play?" Zhao Cheng saw Xu Tian come in and enthusiastically invited Xu Tian to play with him.

"I don't want to play, you guys play. I'm busy these days!" Xu Tian said.

Zhao Cheng was also happy when he saw Xu Tian's cheerful face. Otherwise, Xu Tian would have had a gloomy face all day long.

He was shot three days ago. Because it was quite chaotic and some people helped, the verdict was quick.

These past few days, Xu Tian was busy discussing with Jin Hai and Tie Lin how to sell off their property and prepare to flee. After all, Beiping was surrounded on all sides, making it extremely difficult to leave the city.

It was especially difficult to carry valuables. The rich and powerful all left by plane, while people like Jin Hai could only find someone to exchange gold for them to travel south.

The person they were looking for was Liu Rusi, the fourth daughter of the suppression chief Shen Shichang, nicknamed Master Liu!

"Hey, Zhao Cheng, come with me. Let's go to the train station. My brother gave me a task and asked me to help pick up a box of something at the train station. Let's go and get it back together." Xu Tian went into the house, put down his things, and came out and said to Zhao Cheng.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhao Cheng also put down his cards and followed Xu Tian directly.

Yan San and Liu Zi looked at each other helplessly, and at the same time went to Zhao Cheng's position, turned over Zhao Cheng's card and saw that it was a small number!

The two men gritted their teeth and waved their fists at Zhao Cheng who was walking away.

"Brother Tian'er, how is the progress of finding my house for me?" Zhao Cheng asked as he followed Xu Tian.

"My second brother has found a house for you in Nanluoguxiang. It's a three-courtyard house with a west wing in the front yard. The house has four rooms and is about 90 square meters. It's no problem for you to clean it up and separate it into three small rooms." Xu Tian said as he walked without looking back.

"Nanluoguxiang? Why does this place name sound so familiar?" Zhao Cheng muttered. But Zhao Cheng didn't care. After all, Zhao Cheng didn't have much money right now. Apart from the reward given by the police station for capturing the Little Red Coat, he had no other income. Finding him a place to stay was good enough, so why would he care so much?

"Brother Tian'er, what does this big brother want us to go to the train station to pick up?" Zhao Cheng was particularly curious about why Jin Hai asked him and Xu Tian to go to the train station at this time.

After all, the city of Peking is now under siege, and people are allowed to enter but not leave. Although there are trains arriving at the station every day, most of them are people returning to Peking from other places or coming to Peking to make a living.

After all, the Red Army doesn't bother ordinary people. As long as there's a reasonable reason, the army won't care.

"It seems like he found a way to get back some food or something. After all, such a large group of people like us need to eat. Now the price of food in Beiping City has risen to a sky-high level. If we use the little money we have to buy food in the city, we will go bankrupt!" Xu Tian said.

"Oh, big brother, your methods are quite wild. Can you get the food in now? And by train?" Zhao Cheng was also surprised by Jin Hai's ability.

"Hey, what's this little bit of stuff? The quantity is not too much, it's just less than a month's worth of food for our families. We can still handle it with big brother's connections." Xu Tian was not surprised. After all, they were all local tyrants with many ways to get things done.

At the entrance of the train station, Tielin was sitting in a rickshaw and observing his surroundings.

Today, their team leader drafted a group of men to capture a Red Army representative. They claimed they were there to discuss peaceful liberation with the Suppression Headquarters, but the Nanjing authorities didn't want Peking to fall into Red Army hands. That's why they were arrested.

At this moment, Xu Tian and Zhao Cheng came from the west and were spotted by Tie Lin.

Tielin quickly got on the rickshaw and pulled down the roof to block his view.

Because Zhao Cheng came directly from the police station, he was carrying a rifle on his back and a box gun hanging on his waist, so he could be said to be fully armed.

Xu Tian didn't carry a spear, but he did have a box gun on his waist.

Although Zhao Cheng and Xu Tian were both wearing police uniforms, they still aroused the suspicion of the Secret Service agents. However, because Zhao Cheng and Xu Tian walked directly towards the warehouse, Lao Ma did not pay much attention to them and thought they were on patrol, although he rarely saw police officers patrolling with long or short guns.

Actually, this wasn't Zhao Cheng and Xu Tian's fault. It was mainly because Beiping City had been in such chaos these past few days, with all sorts of evildoers running around. If Zhao Cheng continued patrolling the streets with a baton like before, he'd be truly terrified.

So they had to act like this, making it look like they were not easy to mess with, so no one would bother them.
