Chapter 0674: The legend of manhole covers and aluminum pots
PS. Here’s today’s update. By the way, I’m going to vote for the “Qidian” 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 votes, and you’ll get Qidian coins for voting. I beg you all for your support and appreciation!
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, on the mountain road of Liujiatun in Ziyun Mountain, everything was dark and the wind was blowing...
Under the mountain road, there is a different scene, with bright lights and a lot of people, it is very lively.
Chen Hongzhi, the director of the Xuchang Security Bureau and the leader of the SWAT team, looked gloomy as he looked up at the dark mountain road, with ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past in his mind.
Liujiatun, Liujiatun again...
From the running figures on the street, Chen Hongzhi had long recognized who one of them was.
If the information I obtained is correct, that guy is currently the youngest naval admiral in China.
I had already planned to get over it with Xi Ni and just get over it. I almost made a fuss when I offended someone, but now I just want to make amends with them.
Chen Hongzhi understands Liu Shiba's character. Although that guy is unreliable,
, but he is definitely not someone who does evil. There must be some inside story.
But now, things have become big...
Not only the corpses in the antique shop, but also Gao Shenglan's human organ sales were exposed.
What is even more unbelievable is that Gao Shenglan has an unexplained relationship with Zhang Guanglie, the current head of Xuchang City...
Chen Hongzhi even dared to deduce whether the boss behind Gao Shenglan was Zhang Guanglie?
Speaking of Zhang Guanglie, he was also involved in the Liujiatun incident that year.
At that time, Zhang Guanglie was still the junior director of the Ziyun Town Security Bureau. If this guy hadn't insisted on Liu Shiba and Liu Jiatun, would he have offended the Ning family?
Unexpectedly, things would turn around, and this guy was lucky. The Ning family did not pursue him, but gave him an opportunity to rise through the ranks, and now he is the top leader in Xuchang.
At around ten o'clock that night, Liu Shiba and others killed another twenty men in black of unknown origin in the back streets, finally alerting Zhang Guanglie...
Under Zhang Guanglie's direct intervention, the entire Xuchang Security Bureau gathered force at Liujiatun in Ziyun Mountain.
Even the garrison outside the city supported a company of regular troops in the encirclement and suppression of the Ziyun Mountain bandits.
That's right, Zhang Guanglie characterized Liu Shiba and others who caused this incident as gangsters.
Chen Hongzhi was not a man with unclear ideas. He explained to Zhang Guanglie very tactfully the identity behind Liu Shiba, but he was still verbally rejected.
How can an official's mind be so unclear?
Zhang Guanglie risked offending the Ning family, offending the entire navy, and losing his official position and life, to attack Liujiatun. Is there any secret in this?
It's definitely not as simple as revenge, just avenging the shame of a few years ago.
Chen Hongzhi frowned in deep thought and didn't even notice anyone walking behind him.
"Hongzhi, what are you thinking about?"
Zhang Guanglie's voice came from behind.
"call!"
Chen Hongzhi took a deep breath, turned around slowly, and looked at Zhang Guanglie walking towards him in the light of incandescent lamps.
"I didn't think of anything, just look at the terrain! You know, three years ago, thousands of Japanese soldiers stormed Liujiatun, but not a single person was left alive!
Of course, in the end, not a single one of the old, young, women, and children in Liujiatun surrendered, and they all died in the battle.
Therefore, this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack rashly, I am worried that we will suffer heavy casualties.
The other party has the Bayi-bar heavy rifle. Our body armor cannot protect against 7.6mm rifle bullets. I suggest that this matter should be reported to the Navy..."
Chen Hongzhi looked into Zhang Guanglie's eyes and explained calmly.
Zhang Guanglie's face stiffened and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Why should we report it to the Navy?"
"Because one of the gangsters is most likely the current Navy Admiral Liu Shiba, who is also an old acquaintance of you and me."
Chen Hongzhi said softly.
"Nonsense, why don't I know what kind of naval admiral this bumpkin is? There has never been any official notice in China that there is such a naval admiral as Liu Shiba, don't believe the rumors!"
Zhang Guanglie's face turned pale and he almost jumped up in anger.
Chen Hongzhi looked at Zhang Guanglie coldly and said softly:
"You are the leader, of course you have the final say."
Zhang Guanglie at this time is already different from the little director three years ago.
At this time, he was wearing a gray tunic suit and height-increasing leather shoes, which made his short figure taller by more than ten centimeters, making him three centimeters taller than the tall Chen Hongzhi.
The height advantage allows Zhang Guanglie to display his condescending aura.
Zhang Guanglie's hair was combed and sleek, and he had a gold Parker pen in his jacket pocket. This kind of dress also showed the gentleness, gentleness and elegance of a scholar.
There was a trace of contempt hidden in Chen Hongzhi's eyes, and he secretly said:
"Even if you dress like Blair, it can't hide your background as a manhole cover thief..."
In fact, in China, some people ridicule Henan people for stealing manhole covers. This is all nonsense. Of course, it is true, and it has been artificially magnified and hyped.
People in Henan stole manhole covers in old China. It was a tragedy caused by being forced to live and being displaced.
You said that on the street, what would you steal if you didn't steal a manhole cover? Is there anything else that is easier to get than a manhole cover?
After all, this thing is pig iron. It costs 70 cents per pound to be sold to the scrapyard for re-melting. One piece can be sold for 20 yuan, which is enough for a family of three to make bread and steamed buns for three days, plus a bowl of green onion and pepper soup...
…………
In fact, Chen Hongzhi's disdain was not directed at the people of Henan, but only at Zhang Guanglie.
Because of Zhang Guanglie, he was particularly rebellious when he was a child. As far as Chen Hongzhi knew, this guy was from Luohe. He ran away from home when he was a child and wandered in the streets of Xuchang.
Although this guy is small, he has a quick brain. He specializes in stealing large old-fashioned aluminum alloy soup pots that are left outside and used to simmer soup on a honeycomb briquette stove.
In the past, it was said that China was backward and gas had not yet reached households. If you had a gas jar in your home, your neighbors would be envious for three years...
Therefore, most people use honeycomb stoves to simmer soup at home. In this kind of stove, firewood is burned before the honeycomb briquettes are ignited. The blue smoke is extremely choking, so they all light the stove at the door of their house.
Then, an old-fashioned aluminum pot filled with lotus root ribs was placed on the stove to simmer the soup.
Now the opportunity came. The person making soup at home would definitely not keep an eye on him, so he gave the wandering Zhang Guanglie an excellent opportunity.
This guy took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he picked up the aluminum pot and ran away. He found a deserted place to eat braised pork ribs and his mouth was full of oil. After all, he could still buy the aluminum pot at a good price.
Thirty years ago, those who stole manhole covers were fools, because pig iron only weighed a pound a piece.
High-end ones, like Zhang Guanglie, because the aluminum pot is made of aluminum, then aluminum costs eight yuan a pound.
Stealing an aluminum pot is more cost-effective and labor-saving than stealing three well covers...
Zhang Guanglie, who was born like a tiger, was so scary when he was a boy...
