Chapter 250: Conspiracy against the Whole Academy
"Oh no! Oh no!! Hou Jie ran away... I guess he must have reported it to the police!"
Suddenly a loud shout was heard in the yard, and the originally quiet courtyard suddenly became noisy.
Upon hearing the news, the so-called beasts in the yard suddenly panicked. They realized that things might get out of hand, and what was worse was that the men in the family were still at work and none of them were at home.
Some people even broke down and sat on the ground crying. Others were not much better, each of them was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
"Oh my! What should we do? Chunsheng is not someone who can be easily bullied. We are really in big trouble this time!" said a middle-aged woman anxiously.
"Yes, yes! Send someone to the steel mill to notify everyone and ask them to come back quickly!" another person echoed.
"Yeah, his stuff is not cheap. If he really asks for compensation, it won't be a small amount!"
Everyone started to discuss countermeasures, but as time went on, they became more and more angry, and finally they all turned their attention to the Jia family. After all, after several blackmails, the people in the courtyard had almost no spare money and lived a tight life. Now that something like this had happened, everyone would naturally vent their anger on the Jia family.
The second aunt complained: "It was Jia Zhang who started it all, otherwise no one would be like this."
The third aunt interrupted, "That's right, Jia Zhang is a nuisance. With her around, the yard is never good. She has caused so many troubles. It just so happens that she has a rural hukou, so send her back to the countryside."
"Yes, that's right. Send her back to the countryside. Everyone will be implicated by him again."
Gradually, everyone reached a consensus.
Jia Zhang had sneaked back home and was trembling in the house. Hearing everyone talking loudly, as if they were going to drive him back to the countryside, she was really scared this time. Her previous fear of Hou Jie came back to her mind, and her psychological shadow expanded infinitely.
He murmured to himself, "I won't go back to the country. I won't go back to the country. Woo, woo, woo!"
Jia Zhang was so frightened that she started crying.
Half an hour later, Director Wang entered the courtyard again with a gloomy face.
She was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Although kind, she was still very scary when she got angry. After all, the cadres at that time had fought in wars and were full of military spirit.
Accompanying him was Director Li of the Public Security Bureau, a sturdy man in his 30s with a dark complexion and a neat military uniform. He looked very capable, but no one expected that he would be alarmed this time.
When the two groups gathered together, there were more than a dozen people, which was quite impressive.
"I've never seen such a chaotic courtyard. Either they're fighting or they're occupying other people's houses. The three managers are just good-for-nothings. Are they just there to eat and do nothing?"
Now she was disgusted with this yard.
After careful inquiry, I found out how messed up things were in the yard.
Hou Jie received a notice from his younger brother and came out of Yard 96 to meet them.
After greeting them, he looked as if he had suffered a great injustice. He sighed from time to time and began to complain with his head down.
"Director Wang, Director Li, I am the plaintiff. I didn't want to trouble you. I didn't expect that after returning alive from the Korean battlefield, my house was robbed."
"We fought hard on the front lines, shedding blood and tears, but when we got home, we found that our homes were gone. You have to take care of the situation for me!"
Director Li only then realized that Hou Jie was a demobilized soldier who had just participated in the Korean War, and he admired him very much.
"Oh! Comrade Hou is from the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, that's amazing. I've learned about the situation, don't worry, we won't let the hero bleed and cry, we will definitely give you an explanation this time."
Director Wang's expression also became serious this time.
Hou Jie continued to add fuel to the fire and sighed again.
"Hey! After all, I live in this yard, alone and powerless, and I dare not provoke them. As long as they restore the house to its original state, it will be fine."
"Comrade Hou, don't be too pessimistic. This is a new country. We will not allow bullies to bully us ordinary people. Especially a soldier like you."
Director Wang was also troubled. He was even more dissatisfied with the several senior managers in the courtyard. They were really useless and were just a decoration.
"That's right, bandits and bullies must not be allowed to happen in the capital."
A group of people entered the yard, and the neighbors they saw were all frightened into silence.
Someone said in frustration: "It's over, stop struggling, everyone just wait to die!"
Quiet, very quiet.
Everyone knows that there is big trouble.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people came running behind Director Wang.
The leaders were Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and others. Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others were also among them. When they saw Hou Jie, they all looked terrified and weird.
I don't need to think about it to know that I don't believe that Hou Jie is still alive. I thought to myself:
"The death notice has been sent back, how come the person is still alive?"
Without time to think about it, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and went to Director Li and Director Wang to try to mediate.
"Director Li, Director Wang, why are you here today? If you have any questions, just come to us. We will take care of these small matters in the yard. You don't need to worry about it."
The others also joined in loudly, trying to smooth things over.
"Yes! Director Wang, it's fine in the yard. There's really no need to trouble you."
The two men ignored them and followed Hou Jie directly to the backyard.
After passing through the Moon Gate and seeing the scene in front of him, Director Wang still opened his mouth wide.
"How is it possible? I came here a few months ago and the house was so beautiful. I was so envious and dreamed of having a house like this. How could it be like this now?"
Thinking about the bright windows and clean and tidy house before, it is like heaven and earth compared to the unfinished house now.
Although it was Director Li's first time here, he thought that Hou Jie had lived here before, so he thought it was not bad. When he saw the house in front of him, there was not even a window.
After a detailed observation, I had a general understanding of the situation in the yard. The house was empty, with nothing in it.
"There are no good people in this yard! Anyone with common sense wouldn't do this."
Moreover, Jia Zhang was in the palace for the second time, and he had a deep impression of her. As expected, she was the courtyard of the most shrewish woman in the city, and she was quite tough.
"This matter must be dealt with seriously. It is too arrogant and simply acts like a bandit."
"Those who deserve it should be shot, those who deserve it should be jailed, and we must not allow such scum to go unpunished."
When everyone in the yard heard what Director Li said, they panicked. He was involved and had taken a lot of pots, pans, and utensils.
After Wu Laoqi took away all the furniture, the people in the yard suddenly became bolder as if a switch had been turned on. They were afraid that they would suffer losses, so they rushed to dismantle the house.
As a result, windows, doors, floor tiles, and wooden boards were completely dismantled, not even a nail was left. Many of these dismantled items are still in use in the home.
Director Wang looked at the devastated scene and was filled with anger.
He turned his gaze to Liu Haizhong, because he knew that Liu Haizhong lived in the backyard and knew the situation here best. He asked angrily: "Liu Haizhong, tell me, who did it?"
Although Liu Haizhong usually behaves arrogantly, he is actually just a straw bag. He is most afraid of officials, but at the same time he longs to become an official.
Hearing Director Wang's rebuke, he trembled all over and said in a trembling voice: "Basically... everyone participated..."
Then, he told everything in detail, without hiding anything. After all, he knew that confession would be treated leniently, while resistance would be treated severely.
"Good, very good!" Director Wang gritted his teeth and said this word by word, then glared at everyone present.
Hou Jie made an appropriate addition, took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Director Li.
He had read a lot of novels and was wary of the people in this courtyard. He would keep a list of everything he did, just for this day. Director Li took the list and looked at it, his eyes widened, and he handed the list to Director Wang.
"2000 dollars? Converted into today's RMB, it would be at least 5 or 6000 yuan. Where did you get the money, Comrade Hou?" Director Li looked at Hou Jie in confusion, wondering how a young man who had just started working could have so much money to buy furniture?
Hou Jie started to act up and spread rumors. He knew there were no good people in the yard, so how could he not be prepared at all? In fact, the wood used for the furniture was very common and not expensive at all. That is, the floor tiles were good. But when he wrote the order, he changed it a little. He didn't expect that these beasts would be so ruthless that they even took away the floor tiles.
Pretending to recall the past, he sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll tell you. This is the old house, and all this money was given to me by my parents. But I didn't expect that it would be ruined like this by those bad guys." After saying that, Hou Jie wiped away his tears pretending to be sad.
After hearing this, Director Li and Director Wang showed sympathy. They comforted Hou Jie and said they would definitely help him get justice and severely punish the criminals. At the same time, they also said they would try their best to help Hou Jie restore his reputation and compensate him for his losses.
