Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Lu Yao and Zuo Shouquan arrived in Jiangzhou after get off work in the afternoon.

Zuo Shouquan's motorcycle was fast; he shifted into fifth gear and sped straight to the gate of the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

When he went inside to inquire, his classmate said that the Industry and Commerce Bureau had not arrested anyone.

The joint enforcement team was organized by the district itself.

It has nothing to do with the bureau.

It was a joint law enforcement association organized by a group of Red Guards, also known as the Revolutionary Committee.

They are essentially two separate entities, the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Industry and Commerce Bureau.

With that said, Zuo Shouquan was at a loss, as he didn't know anyone else.

Lu Yao quickly asked Zuo Shouquan to take him to find Zhao Balai.

Zhao Balai was drinking tea at the gate of the local products company.

Then I watched as a police motorcycle with a sidecar entered the compound.

Zhao Balai was startled, thinking he had committed a crime by reselling furs.

Sit up quickly.

Upon seeing that Lu Yao was sitting in the sidecar, he was even more puzzled.

Could my little brother have betrayed me? Why did he bring a policeman with him?

Seeing Lu Yao asking the workers where he was in the yard, he quickly went out:

"Brother Lu, what do you want with me?"

While talking to Lu Yao, his eyes kept glancing at Zuo Shouquan, who was wearing a blue police uniform.

Lu Yao quickly greeted him and told him about Tie Zhu and Gou Shengzi catching fish to sell in the city.

Zhao Balai kept staring at Zuo Shouquan.

Lu Yao quickly introduced, "Scarface, don't worry about Brother Zuo. This is my friend, the kind of friend you'd die for."

Lu Yao was well-versed in the art of employing people and understood human nature.

He and Zuo Shouquan can be described as friends with a relationship based on mutual interests.

But his words immediately moved Zuo Shouquan.

He believed that Lu Yao truly didn't treat him like an outsider.

In later social changes, this tactic was called deception.

However, people were more honest back then, and there was less scheming and backstabbing around them.

Therefore, Lu Yao's words had a great impact.

It inspired Zuo Shouquan's sense of brotherhood.

For a long time afterward, he considered himself Lu Yao's closest friend.

When Zhao Balai saw that Lu Yao actually had a police officer friend, he immediately looked at Lu Yao with even higher regard.

The fact that this policeman followed Lu Yao around, acting as his driver to rescue his friend, suggests that their relationship was definitely not ordinary.

After listening to Lu Yao's explanation, he scratched his head and said:

"I know Li Xu you're talking about. He's 'Li Po Si' from Heishui Road in the East District. Po Si used to be the commander-in-chief of the Heishui Road headquarters. That guy used to be a scoundrel; I even beat him up for harassing some women in our unit. But now he's a different story. He has at least two hundred men under his command. And they have a lot of guns. It's good enough if he doesn't bother me; it's definitely no use me going after him!"

She then complained to Lu Yao:

"Why doesn't your friend come to sell things on Fourth Road? I know this area of ​​Nanguan District very well."

Lu Yao also had his own unspeakable suffering.

He thought to himself that this damned Gou Shengzi was trying to hide it from him, that he wanted to show him that he could sell his wares without his connections.

I've been competitive since I was a child.

Gou Shengzi is a good friend to me, but I have to listen to him in everything.

In his previous life, he had no special skills or knowledge, and nothing major ever happened when he was with his friends. Lu Yao didn't bother to argue with him about who was in charge.

I've been through so much in this life, how could I possibly listen to a little brat like you?

Lu Yao found the nickname "Li Po Si" somewhat familiar.

Could it be the person recorded in the Jiangzhou County Annals?

So I asked Zhao the Scarface:

"Do you know where the command post for Blackwater Road is?"

"I do know that. A few years ago, our two command posts fought a few times, each time involving hundreds of people. I could take on three of them individually, but they had more soldiers and guns, and we were no match for them. Later, the county intervened and made peace."

Lu Yao waved his hand: "Scarface, I understand your difficulties. I'll go by myself. Just tell me where it is."

Zhao Balai was taken aback upon hearing this:

"Brother, even though you're a militiaman now, it definitely won't make a difference if you go. Don't even mention you, even your entire Shuiling Commune militia might not be enough. How about I help you find our district chief..."

"Thanks, Scarface, but I don't want to make things difficult for you! You don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, Lu Yao came out.

Zhao Balai chased after them, knowing full well he would be at a disadvantage, but he still followed.

Lu Yao was very moved and lied to him, saying that he had asked someone from the government to intervene and persuade Zhao Balai to go back.

Lu Yao got into Zuo Shouquan's car:

"Brother Zuo, just take me to the Blackwater Road command post."

Zuo Shouquan was worried for him: "No, Xiao Lu, these joint command centers and such places are no place to reason. They arrest people whenever they want, without even notifying the police. It's very chaotic."

"I have a way. I'll risk my life to rescue my brother. But I can't let you be implicated!"

"What are you saying!"

Zuo Shouquan didn't like hearing that.

"Xiao Lu, if you say that, it means you don't consider me a friend."

Zuo Shouquan lit a cigarette, showing that he was genuinely concerned about Lu Yao's situation.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"How about this, we'll say these two lads were fishing in the commune, and we'll take them back to the Shuiling Police Station to deal with them. That's official business, so it'll be easier to talk to them. After we take them back, I'll give them a brief reprimand and then release them."

Lu Yao looked at Zuo Shouquan.

It seems he really considers himself a friend.

So he nodded: "Then let's try it this way first."

The two of them rode their motorcycle out onto the street.

Suddenly, two sidecar motorcycles appeared ahead, followed by two Jiefang trucks slowly approaching from behind.

In each vehicle, four people wearing white signs stood sideways, with two escorts behind each person.

These people were bound hand and foot with ropes, and they were wearing tall hats on their heads.

The car stopped at the intersection, and a large crowd immediately gathered around it.

The loudspeaker on the truck bed was criticizing the crimes of those being paraded through the streets.

Among them were a female teacher who secretly tutored her students, an elderly Buddhist layperson who kept a Buddha statue at home, and an old man who had served as a soldier in a previous dynasty...

In short, there are no people who have committed heinous crimes.

Their actions were considered criminal at the time, but even after the country was transformed, many of their practices were still promoted and advocated.

It's like that tutor who doesn't charge a penny and even cooks for the students.

If this were the 21st century, it would be incredibly difficult to find such a good teacher.

But that won't work now. If the students' parents find out, they'll be sent to the joint association's command center.

There were eight people in total, all of whom kept their heads down and dared not look up.

Lu Yao suddenly noticed that Gou Shengzi and Tie Zhu were also in the second car.

The loudspeaker announced that the two men were guilty of speculation and profiteering, illegally fishing and selling fish, and following a capitalist path, which was simply heinous.

Holy crap, is the efficiency really this fast at this time?

Arresting people at noon and then parading them through the streets with big hats on their heads in the afternoon?

However, we also know that in extraordinary times, extraordinary people do extraordinary things.

That's why it's called a turmoil.

Seeing the two boys looking dejected, Lu Yao felt a pang of heartache.

Although Gou Shengzi had his own selfish motives, he didn't forget to get a share for himself.

It's also my fault for not explaining to them after I sold it last time, which made them think I had kept it all for myself.

Lu Yao was about to move forward.

He was pulled back by Zuo Shouquan:

"There's no use going there now. Let's go back to command post with them and talk about it then."

Lu Yao looked around and saw that there were more than twenty people in green military uniforms in the two cars and the sidecar motorcycle in front of them, and at least ten of them had rifles.

In particular, a light machine gun was mounted on a truck behind them.

It is a Czech ZB-26 light machine gun.

If I were to force myself now... that would be impossible.

With just a broken rifle, how could I possibly be a match for someone else?

Besides, they didn't commit a capital offense, so there's no need to storm the execution ground.

Just like that female teacher, she was released after the parade and sent home to wait. Whenever they want to use her as an example, they'll drag her out and criticize her again.

She goes to work as usual and doesn't detain you.

Lu Yao listened to Zuo Shouquan and followed behind the parade convoy.

The convoy made a quick round trip during the afternoon rush hour and then returned to the command post on Heishui Road.

At the gate, release those who were parading through the streets and lock up those who needed to be locked up in the cowshed.

"Cowshed" is not a place where the production team raises cattle and horses.

It is for imprisoning those who have been convicted and labeled.

Back then, they were called "demons and monsters".

A "cowshed" can be an underground warehouse, an abandoned classroom, or a corner of a workshop.

It is a temporary detention facility.

Tiezhu and Goushengzi were both dragged into the yard by their collars.

Lu Yao and Zuo Shouquan exchanged a glance and encouraged each other:

"Let's go inside!"
