Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 617: An Incident in the Yard
The stall owner found a rope to tie it up and handed it to the middle-aged man, who left happily.

At this time, the crowd slowly dispersed. Wang Zhan squatted down, stared at the stall owner and said, "Lao Hai, Yan Weizi, you are quite good at it?" Wang Zhan was speaking the underworld jargon. Lao Hai means a wandering swindler, and Yan Weizi means a swindler.

The stall owner was startled and pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Wang Zhan Yile said: "Do you believe me if I ask you to purify yourself?"

"Tsk, you little brat, get out of here." The stall owner was a little angry and shouted at Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan stood up, walked around the stall, and left with Wang Li and He Yushui. As they walked, Wang Li realized something was wrong and asked, "Brother, when are you going to get an extra backpack?"

"Just now when I was cleaning someone's body, let's forget about it. Let's not hang out here anymore. Let's go to Liulichang." After saying that, he took the two of them, crossed Meishi Street and walked straight towards Xinhua Street.

The three of them continued their shopping and eating trip and walked around Liulichang until the sun set, then headed towards Maoer Hutong.

When Wang Zhan returned to his home, he stopped at the door and looked at the footprints on his door with a frown. He Yushui and Wang Li also saw it. Wang Li said, "Who is this? How wicked of them to kick our door."

Wang Zhan was also confused. He looked around and didn't see anyone, so he opened the door and let He Yushui and Wang Li in. He put his bag in the reception room, asked the two to lock the door, and then went out.

Wang Zhan went straight to Sister Wang and told her about his family situation. As he was talking, Captain Li came in. When he heard that someone was looking for trouble, he took Sister Wang and two soldiers to Wang Zhan's home.

When they reached the gate, they saw two people standing at the gate arguing. Captain Li led his men over and asked, "What's going on between you two?"

Wang Zhan saw that it was the guy called Sha Zhu and his sister He Yushui who were arguing. Captain Li looked at Sha Zhu, then at the door, pointed and said, "You kicked it, right? Why? Tell me."

When Sha Zhu saw that it was Captain Li, he stopped talking for a moment. He was still a little intimidated by this Captain Li.

He Yushui still spoke up for his brother and said, "Captain Li, my brother is just being unreasonable. It's no big deal."

Lieutenant Li stood in front of Sha Zhu, stared at him, and said, "I don't care about your usual fights. Tell me, why did you kick the door of a kid you didn't even know? Are you used to bullying people?"

Only then did Sha Zhu see the owner of the house, who was just a kid the same age as his sister. He didn't know what to say and said that someone had reported that someone had kidnapped his sister, but he had never heard of a child kidnapping another child, not to mention that He Yushui returned home on time.

After holding it in for a long time, Sha Zhu said, "I didn't know she was her classmate. I shouldn't have made a fuss."

Captain Li said, "Okay, I'll treat you as a fool, just this once, you can go back too."

Sha Zhu left, and He Yushui followed with his schoolbag. Lieutenant Li said, "That courtyard is small and full of evil spirits. Come on, let's go back too."

Captain Li took his men away. Wang Zhan returned to the yard, locked the door, thought about it, and shook his head. How could this matter be so inexplicable?

Wang Li was fiddling with her picture books. After taking them to her room, she ran out and said, "Brother, my room is short of a bookshelf. Can you make one for me?"

"Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow. Can we eat first?" Wang Zhan said.

Wang Li said in embarrassment: "I'm not hungry anymore. I ate so much." Wang Zhan thought, yes, he ate a lot, and he probably couldn't eat much, so he said: "Then let's play for a while and eat later."

Wang Zhan turned around and went to the living room to get the two bags, then ran to the basement. Wang Li said she didn't want to go because she wanted to read picture books.

I opened the backpack and found three boxes inside, all of which contained small bowls: a lotus jade bowl, a small red glaze bowl, and a small enamel bowl. After admiring them for a while, I put them in the boxes and placed them on the antique display shelf.

After Wang Zhan came out of the basement, he went to accompany his sister. When it was almost eight o'clock, his sister said she was hungry, so he went to make two bowls of noodles, paired them with pickles, and ate with his sister.

At this time, in a courtyard house in front of the front door, in a woodshed, the stall owner with a melon-shaped hat during the day was hanging on the beam, his clothes were stripped off, and his body was beaten to pieces. An old man was sitting on a chair near the door, and two big men stood on both sides with whips in their hands.

The old man took a sip of tea from the covered bowl and said, "Zhang Pizi, you told me that a child had cooked you up. Do you think I'm a fool? If you don't tell the truth, this day next year will be your death anniversary. Think about it carefully."

Zhang Pizi said, "Boss Jin, what I said is true. I just left a job and that kid said I was Yanweizi. I cursed him and he said he would clean my body. I didn't take it seriously. Not long after he left, I found that all my things were gone."

Boss Jin frowned and asked, "Kid, how old is he?"

"He looks to be about ten years old. Oh, and he has two younger sisters." Zhang Pizi said.

Boss Jin got furious and shouted at Zhang Pizi, "You told me that a kid who can speak in secret is a kid in his teens, you told me that a kid who knows the authenticity of things and can see through the tricks of our business is a kid in his teens, you told me that a kid who can take your things without anyone noticing is a kid in his teens, you are fooling around, beat me." After saying that, he threw the covered bowl to the ground, stood up, turned around and left.

Boss Jin returned to the main hall angrily, sat in the middle with his horse and sword, his face full of anger.

At this moment, a servant came running from the front yard and said, "Sir, the old King Rong from Changdian has come to pay tribute."

Boss Jin calmed down and said, "Please come in."

After a while, a thin old man came in. Seeing Boss Jin, he clasped his fists and said, "Boss Jin, long time no see. How are you?" Boss Jin said unhappily, "I'm glad I didn't die of anger. But Sun Liuzhi, you haven't received your monthly salary for two months?"

Sun Liuzhi sighed and said, "Boss Jin, don't mention it. He failed during the annual temple fair and was beaten to a pulp by a ten-year-old kid."

When Boss Jin heard this, he wondered why it was another eight or nine-year-old kid, so he quickly said, "Come on, tell me."

Sun Liuzhi told the story of how at the temple fair, his disciples were robbed clean by a ten-year-old boy, who even took the razor blade in his mouth, and then he himself was also robbed clean.

Boss Jin seemed to be thinking about something, and said to himself, "Could it be that what Zhang Pizi said is true?"

"What happened to Zhang Pizi?" asked Sun Liuzhi.

Boss Jin told Zhang Pizi about his experience today. Sun Liuzhi said, "Boss Jin, Zhang Pizi might be telling the truth. Let's go and have a look and confront him."

Boss Jin stood up and took Sun Liuzhi to the woodshed. Soon, Zhang Pizi was released. They had to keep him. Apart from Sun Liuzhi and his apprentice, Zhang Pizi was the only one who had seen the child. Then he told his men that if they wanted to find the child, they had to turn the city upside down.
