Deng Deyou took us to a hotel. Jing Fei and Gu Yongnian had been waiting for us in the hotel for quite some time.
Jing Fei started to complain when he saw us. It took so long for Chujiu to take action. It was obvious that he deliberately made them hungry.
Regardless of not mentioning this, Jing Fei just complained a few words, but Deng Deyou reacted even louder than him, cursing and asking Jing Fei to order quickly.
Chujiu turned his head and held back his laughter, fearing that Deng Deyou would see his expression.
"Our boss Deng has already scolded us all the way, so just skip this topic, hahahaha."
Uncle Ding casually pulled out a chair and sat next to Gu Yongnian, unable to help but smile.
At that time, after the police arrested everyone, the deputy director's speech standing on the low wall happened to end.
The crowd of onlookers rushed into the warehouse office.
After the rumors about the haunting were settled, Deng Deyou, who was in a good mood, made a bold statement: The fellow villagers who signed and registered today will come to collect rice on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and each name will give them a bag of rice.
"Boss, are you really saying this? As long as the person who just watched the fun is a bag of rice with one name?"
After receiving Deng Deyou's affirmation, the middle-aged man who asked the question ran away. Deng Deyou was still surprised by the man's reaction.
When half the number of people had been registered, the man shouted at the top of his lungs to everyone to make way.
"Boss, this is my grandson. He was watching from outside just now. Please help me register. His name is Wang Erdan."
The middle-aged man held a baby boy who looked like he was about to be full moon in his arms. He approached Deng Deyou and said, his eyes were very round when he was watching the excitement, but now he is sleepy (sleeping).
Deng Deyou smiled helplessly. After all, it was something he had promised himself, so he asked the staff to register it.
As soon as this name was written down, the scene got out of hand. The crowd immediately started shouting, "Someone in the family who was also present just now has gone home to urinate and will be here soon."
As more and more people ran back to the village, news spread in the village: the owner of the village warehouse was handing out rice. As long as you signed your name and said you were there to catch ghosts at the time, you could receive a big bag.
Two hours later, Deng Deyou leaned against the wall of the office with a gloomy face, looking at the last registered old man.
The old man moved to the desk in small steps with crutches.
"It's troublesome to have inconvenient legs and feet. It's finally time for me to register."
"Old man, were you also participating in the event just now? I didn't see you."
Deng Deyou was really helpless. Looking at the old man who could fall down at any time while walking, he wished he could send the registration book to his home.
In the past two hours, Deng Deyou saw a baby who was just one month old, a pregnant woman with a big belly, an aunt rushing towards her with a spatula in one hand, and a drunk and strong man, all of whom came to register to get rice.
Halfway through, I was thinking about us sitting in Uncle Ding's car, worrying that we were in a hurry to get back to the city.
Deng Deyou guessed the population of the village and asked casually, how many people had not come? At this time, he had already accepted the result that everyone in the village would come to receive rice.
The person who answered him was a middle-aged woman. She said that her child had been watching the police activity just now. After watching it, she went to school. Could she sign for the child to receive rice?
"You little kid, seeing that my legs and feet are inconvenient, you suspect that I didn't participate in the activity? Let me tell you, I saw the old Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain catching ghosts with my own eyes. He caught one with his left hand and another with his right hand.
two."
Deng Deyou saw the old man going crazy and fearing that he might lie down on the floor of the warehouse at any time. He forced out a smile and nodded to cooperate with the old man. He was an old Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain.
Watching the old man leave the warehouse, Deng Deyou let out a long sigh and stared at the notebook in his office. The twenty or so people watching turned into more than three hundred people.
"Boss Deng, what do you think?"
Uncle Ding, who was driving, honked the horn to remind the car in front to speed up. He glanced at Deng Deyou who looked dumbfounded and asked with a smile.
"What do you think? I can't even fucking think about it!"
Deng Deyou couldn't help but throw the half-smoked cigarette butt out of the car window.
Chujiu, who was sitting in the back row, comforted Deng Deyou as if he was doing charity for the village. Charity by businessmen always only has benefits and no harm.
"Do I feel sorry for those rice? They are insulting my IQ! Do you understand the insult? They are a bunch of unruly people!"
Deng Deyou's answer was that Chujiu asked him to play cards. Deng Deyou, who was stunned for a long time, finally got into a fight with Chujiu, until Chujiu promised again that the date of asking him to play cards was not to insult his IQ.
Uncle Ding laughed so hard that he almost drove the car into the nearby rice field.
After ordering, Jing Fei smiled and poured the boiling water that he had just poured into the tea cup onto his hand. Seeing that Deng Deyou was about to get angry again, he quickly said that all the dishes he ordered were his favorite dishes, and he was so happy.
The happiest thing was on the ninth day of the lunar month, sitting between Jing Fei and Deng Deyou, explaining to everyone what happened tonight.
Chujiu didn't talk about Jing'er, he just said that he used a little Taoist magic to create a blindfold that scared the shit out of those fake Taoist priests, and all the bad things he had done before were revealed.
Wang Shi, who was sitting directly opposite Jing Fei, said nothing during the whole process, lowered his head and ate a small amount of food in silence.
"President Ding, I will go to the Chamber of Commerce to resign as honorary vice president tomorrow, causing trouble for everyone."
When the meal was about to end, Wang Shi suddenly spoke, and the others stared at Uncle Ding without saying a word.
Deng Deyou, who knew the whole story, felt soft-hearted and was about to speak when Chujiu next to him called him to help him get a drink.
"Well, it's pretty good. Your business association will give you strong support."
Uncle Ding put down his chopsticks and stared at the wine glass in front of him. After a while, he sighed and said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, presidents. After this incident, I have also seen it. In front of life and death, everything else is just a cloud. I respect you all."
Wang Shi smiled, picked up the wine glass, drank the full glass of wine, closed his eyes and said happily.
"Qin Feng, Chujiu, let me take you to the hotel."
As soon as Uncle Ding said he would take us to the hotel, Deng Deyou retorted, saying that staying in a hotel is not as comfortable as staying in a chamber of commerce dormitory. It just so happened that Jing Fei and Gu Yongnian were not going back, so they could play cards together.
"Uncle Ding, let's live in the dormitory. Your friends from the Public Security Bureau still need our help tomorrow."
After the criminal gang of fake Taoists headed by Fang Liqun was all arrested, several frightened little Taoist boys confessed that there were still several others who would defraud another wealthy businessman tomorrow.
After Daotong explained the time and place, the police were fully capable and timely in deploying a sophisticated arrest operation, but the deputy director suggested that Chujiu and I should join in to assist.
Uncle Ding asked what I meant and vaguely mentioned that the deputy director and Uncle Ding have been friends for many years.
It seems that the deputy director wanted to make friends with us because he knew the identity of my department. For Uncle Ding's sake, I agreed to the matter.
The Chamber of Commerce's dormitory is not located at the Chamber of Commerce's office. To be more precise, it should be in a villa area where wealthy people live.
After seeing the photos hanging in the house, I realized that this was not the dormitory of a chamber of commerce at all, but Jing Fei's house in the city.
When a few people took out playing cards, placed bets many times larger than usual, and invited Chujiu to play with them, I understood Deng Deyou's intentions.
Jing Fei pointed to several guest rooms on the second floor and told me that I could stay in any of them. I picked up two magazines and said hello to Chujiu before going back to the room.
An hour later, when I was feeling sleepy, I returned to the room and threw a bunch of money on my bed.
"Guo Guo, you saw it earlier, why didn't you tell me? They deliberately lost 10,000 to me before I realized it, so I deliberately lost 5,000 to them."
According to Chujiu's wishes, I thought I would continue to lose some money to them. Unexpectedly, Uncle Ding and the others said they wanted to take a rest at the same time and refused to continue playing cards.
"Take it, it's better than him being deceived more and afraid to call the police even though he was threatened."
Not long after falling asleep, I was awakened by a strong shaking sound.
I casually took out the pager, thinking that someone could send me a message so late at night. If it was an advertising message from the paging station, I would have to file a complaint tomorrow. It was disturbing the public.
"Guo Guo, what's wrong?"
Chujiu also woke up, maybe seeing me staring at the pager for a long time without any movement, and asked softly.
"The department has issued a mission. Brother Wanli will come to school to pick us up the day after tomorrow."
When he heard that Wan Li would come to school, Chujiu said excitedly that he must learn more useful things from Wan Li this time.
"Chujiu, if grandpa and uncle hadn't left, they should have done this task."
The room was quiet for a long time. Just when I thought Chujiu was asleep, Chujiu whispered that he didn't know how the old man and Mr. Qin were doing now.
"Go to bed early. Don't you know what grandpa and uncle are capable of? Don't worry. This is the first task given to us by the department. We can't lose the face of grandpa and uncle. We must complete it well."
The scene of my grandpa and uncle shivering from the cold while walking on the snow-capped mountains appeared in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel sad.
Early the next morning, when we followed Uncle Ding to the Chamber of Commerce, a police car was already parked in front of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Old Ding, I couldn't sleep, so I woke up early and came here. I heard that the food in your chamber of commerce cafeteria is good."
The deputy director jumped out of the car and walked towards Uncle Ding with a cheerful face.
"Why haven't you heard that our chamber of commerce's cafeteria never serves breakfast? The people's servants serve the people. It seems that you really have to serve the people today."
The deputy director shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying that he had never taken advantage of Uncle Ding in so many years.
Uncle Ding casually replied that it would be a blessing if the public security director did not approach the Chamber of Commerce for construction projects in the future. The deputy director was speechless for a moment and changed his words and asked what Chujiu and I would like to have for breakfast.
After breakfast, the deputy director and Uncle Ding walked into the office to chat. I vaguely heard him asking Uncle Ding when there were people with such big connections as me and Chujiu around Uncle Ding, but he didn't know.
Uncle Ding replied that he was Xiaoyu's student, he had a very good relationship with Xiaoyu, and he had some special abilities, but he didn't know anything else.
