Chapter 614: The 29th Night of the Twelfth Month 2
At this time, most of the other residents in the courtyard also came over. If it were a normal day, many people would have gone to bed, but tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, and according to old customs, people have to stay up all night. Therefore, when everyone heard the noise outside, they quickly gathered in the front yard.
At this time, Jiang Sufen and Su Yu, mother and daughter, also received the notification from the neighbor just now, and walked to the front yard, greeting several residents with whom they had a good relationship.
Han Guoqiang came over and whispered, "Director Jiang, the people outside said they were Zheng Xiangqian's parents. Their tone didn't sound good. They might come to cause trouble at your house. Why don't you and your daughter go home? We have so many grown men here. How can we let outsiders come and cause trouble?"
Jiang Sufen smiled and said, "Old Han, thank you all, but let's open the door and see what they want to do. Zheng Xiangqian has brought trouble upon himself. He actually dared to plot against two leading cadres at the same time. I want to hear what his parents want to say."
Everyone heard about what Zheng Xiangqian did this afternoon. I really don't know what this guy is thinking. He actually wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife. He doesn't even look at his own weight. Afterwards, no matter whether it is Lin Yu, the big leader, or the Chu family, who will let him go? Moreover, from the news spread by the clerks in the office today, Jiang Sufen was able to call Commander Yang of the Beijing Military Region directly. As for those old leaders and old comrades of Su Yu's father, it would probably be no more troublesome to deal with Zheng Xiangqian than to crush an ant.
Hearing Jiang Sufen's words, Han Guoqiang didn't say anything. He just asked the neighbor to inform Jiang Sufen just to do a favor. Now that Jiang Sufen said so, what should he care about? At the same time, he sneered secretly. If Zheng Xiangqian's parents talked nicely, it would be fine. However, if they came to make trouble, judging from the eagerness of the neighbors around, it might not just be a matter of being beaten. Someone would deal with them afterwards.
While everyone was talking, Zheng Xiangqian's mother was still yelling at the gate. Even the people in several nearby courtyards went out after hearing the noise. Most of the residents living in these nearby courtyards worked in the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau and other departments. Anyway, the adults needed to stay up all night, and even the children at home had not gone to bed yet. Therefore, quite a few people had gathered in a short while. Many of the people watching the excitement worked in the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and were whispering to the people next to them about what had happened today.
Because it was Chinese New Year, lights were on at the gates of several nearby courtyards. Under the dim light, the crowd watching the fun looked at the five people standing at the gates of the courtyards as if they were fools after hearing the words of the insider. Yes, in addition to a man and a woman, two middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, there were also three strong young men.
At this time, a small leader of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau, who was standing in the crowd watching the excitement, simply withdrew from the crowd and walked quickly into the darkness.
The gate of the courtyard slowly opened. The five people standing at the gate were blocked by a group of people coming towards them just as they were about to enter. Han Guoqiang would certainly not let these people enter the courtyard, so before opening the door, he specially called on the neighbors nearby to block the gate together.
The middle-aged woman with a face full of flesh shouted loudly: "What do you mean? Why won't you let us in?"
Han Guoqiang sneered and said, "Our unit has a rule that no outsiders are allowed to enter the residence of cadres and employees. If you have anything to say, just say it here. The neighbors nearby are all here. They all say that there is nothing that cannot be said. If you have anything to say, just say it and let everyone judge it."
Someone in the crowd watching the excitement shouted loudly: "Master Han is right. If you have anything to say, just say it here. We can judge for you."
The woman was about to curse when the man next to her reached out and pulled her, then said with a dry laugh, "Master Han, right? I'm Zheng Xiangqian's father, and I work at the Shunyi County Government."
The woman next to him said arrogantly: "Our Mr. Zheng is the deputy head of Shunyi County Government."
Han Guoqiang sneered and said, "It turned out to be Deputy County Magistrate Zheng. I wonder what Deputy County Magistrate Zheng is doing here in our small courtyard on the night of the 29th of the lunar year?"
How could Deputy County Chief Zheng not hear the sarcasm in the other party's words? However, he still barely suppressed his anger and said with a dry laugh: "Comrade Han, we came here tonight to find Deputy Director Jiang Sufen and Comrade Su Yu of your Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau. I heard that our son Zheng Xiangqian had a misunderstanding with Comrade Su Yu, and I wanted to come over to explain."
Before Han Guoqiang could speak, Jiang Sufen and Su Yu and her daughter walked out of the crowd and sneered, "Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, do you know what your son Zheng Xiangqian did? How dare you say here that there was a misunderstanding with my daughter? Are you questioning the determination of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Beijing City Public Security Bureau?"
Deputy County Magistrate Zheng looked at Jiang Sufen and her daughter under the lights, his eyes flashed, he laughed dryly and said: "Deputy Director Jiang, my son just made a few jokes with that Chu Hongjun, why do you have to make such a big deal? I mean, please explain to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Jingcheng City Bureau that this is a misunderstanding. When my son comes back, let him come to apologize to you and Comrade Su Yu. What do you think?"
Jiang Sufen sneered and said, "It seems that Deputy County Magistrate Zheng has used a lot of connections. Since you already know that it was your son Zheng Xiangqian who deliberately instigated Chu Hongjun to let that idiot instruct gangsters to intercept my daughter and son-in-law's jeep with guns, and you dared to come to them with such a flattering face, you must think you are sure that you can control us, right?"
Deputy County Magistrate Zheng laughed dryly and said, "Deputy Director Jiang, I've said it was just a misunderstanding. You are a mother, and you can't just watch your child's life ruined like this, right? As long as you and Comrade Su Yu come forward to explain to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, we can handle the rest ourselves."
Jiang Sufen said disdainfully: "Deputy County Magistrate Zheng is so arrogant. You keep saying it's a misunderstanding. What have you been doing? You didn't educate your children properly. Now that they have committed a crime and been arrested, you are still thinking about doing some crooked things. You are simply daydreaming."
Hearing Jiang Sufen's words, Deputy County Chief Zheng restrained his smile and said grimly, "It seems that Deputy Director Jiang doesn't want to give me, Zheng, this little face?"
Jiang Sufen sneered and snorted: "Don't be so self-righteous. Who knows who you are?"
