Li Guolou felt strange when he went out in the morning. Chen Xiangfang must accompany him to see the demolition in Chaoyang area. Chen Xiangfang rarely goes shopping with him. She always likes to be on her own. Why is there a different person today? But there is someone to accompany him for a walk. Look, Li Guolou was very happy. He thought that Chen Xiangfang was caring about him. He didn't expect that the demolition in Chaoyang area was in full swing. The rapid demolition would have negative consequences.

The carriage arrived at the entrance of an alley in the Chaoyang area. It was no longer accessible. The road was full of rubble, bricks, and wood. Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang jumped off the carriage and walked into the alley to go to the "Chaoyang Demolition Office."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Guolou seemed to be in a strange place. The dilapidated courtyard walls. Piles of dismantled bricks and stones. The ground became pitted and full of water. There were many unknown people who looked at them along the way. The two of them greeted each other. At first glance, they looked like they were not local residents. They were just gangsters and gangster brothers watching the show.

Li Guolou nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Xiaofang, it's so strange. There are so many brothers on duty when I go out so early in the morning. When do the gangsters get up early?"

"Hey." Chen Xiangfang sighed: "Xiaolou, it's not even your words. A scholar will die for his confidant. After Nan Batian got this land, he still didn't do his best and work diligently. Didn't you see that all his thirteen Taibos were dispatched? Plus, the fake foreigners are willing to spend money, so there are many people there early in the morning."

"Oh." Li Guolou was fooled by Chen Xiangfang. He didn't see that this was a fake show for him. He also didn't think about the roads. The walls were demolished in a mess. The security here is extremely bad. Robbery and theft They are popping up one after another. Even walking out has become a big problem. No local residents dare to live here. The residents have been compensated and moved out as soon as possible.

A little Bangzi showed his figure at the corner of the street in the distance. He waved to Li Guolou. One foot was raised and the other was lowered. He walked over slowly.

"Captain Li, why are you here?" Xiao Bangzi seemed to have met Li Guolou by chance. He bowed and saluted with a smile.

"Oh, little Bangzi. I think of the Chaoyang Demolition Office in Caijia Hutong. The road is beyond recognition. I don't know where Caijia Hutong is anymore." Li Guolou looked around, trying to figure out the direction.

"Oh... I'll lead the way. Captain Li, Sister Chen. You come with me. The road ahead is blocked. We have to go here." Xiao Bangzi took Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang from the residents' homes. Pass through, cross the courtyard wall, walk across the river, walk around the flowers, and shuttle between the empty brick and tile houses.

Li Guolou couldn't find the north at all. He had no sense of direction. He sighed: "Little Bangzi, you are quite fast. You have almost demolished the room."

Xiao Bangzi smiled and said: "That's right. Fat Chang Fat has food and accommodation here. We are busy during the day and have to be on duty at night. We are afraid that someone will come and steal the bricks and wood. Captain Li, you don't know. These removed bricks Wood can be sold for money. The so-called mending takes another year. We all know that we should spend money wisely. Wherever we can save, try to repair the damage. You see, this beam is very valuable. Captain Li, take a guess. Guess how much it can be sold for."

Li Guolou's thoughts were influenced by Xiao Bangzi. He thought about how much a beam was worth. Soon he knew the price of old bricks and stones. The plaque of the Chaoyang Demolition Office in Caijia Hutong finally came into view.

Chen Xiangfang smiled and winked at Xiao Bangzi. Xiao Bangzi nodded slightly. Everything was in order. There were no loopholes for God to find.

Huang Guang, chairman of the demolition office, was very dissatisfied with Li Guolou's arrival. He blamed him: "Xiao Lizi, why are you here to cause trouble? We are busy and have no time to entertain you for dinner."

Li Guolou said hurriedly: "Chairman Huang, we are not going to eat. We are just here to see if your work is going well. If you need help with anything, please do."

"Yes, little plum. Those refugees who used to sleep on the streets here have no place to live now. Can I stay under the beams of your house for one night?" Huang Guang suddenly made Li Guolou speechless. He was like a rat hole. What do the refugees care about?

Li Guolou asked: "Chairman Huang, can you tell me your current work progress and practical difficulties."

"Of course. Welcome. We are having a morning meeting. Just listen. How difficult and stressful it is. I can't even eat well. I can't sleep well. I've also lost more than ten pounds. Those Manchu people After getting the compensation and a new home, they are still dissatisfied with me. They scolded me behind my back and complained. I really wish I could start a land enclosure movement and let those bastard Manchus lose all their money and jump directly into the Yellow River." Huang Guang said harsh words and complained. Mixed with curse words and curse words in English, he blurted out, letting Li Guolou know how painful the situation he was in now.

Chen Xiangfang cursed and said: "The cycle of nature and the retribution of karma. Those Manchus should be punished. Back then they occupied the capital's land and houses and forced us Han people to jump into the Yellow River. Now it should be their turn to jump into the Yellow River. What about the houses here?" It's what their ancestors left behind. The gold and silver nests are not as good as the doghouse at home. If you die, you will die in the doghouse at home. It's all bullshit and fart."

Li Guolou glanced at it. Chen Xiangfang's true nature was completely exposed. At home, Chen Xiangfang still had a sense of restraint with her mouth. In front of the gangster brother and younger brother, Chen Xiangfang spoke with dirty words. She had no scruples with a bunch of big brothers with prefixes. Joking.

He came to the living room, poured tea and took a seat. Li Guolou walked for more than 20 minutes. He was very thirsty. He drank Kuding tea. He frowned and said, "Chairman Huang, why are you giving me this kind of tea?"

Huang Guang squinted and said: "Xiao Lizi, what's the matter? It tastes bad. To tell you the truth, guests all drink this tea when they come. Otherwise, the petitioners refuse to leave. I still have time to work. If it were you I don’t believe it. The Manchus who complained will come later. You will receive them. Those old men are all from bird cages. They can chat with you all day. If they have food, they will even eat dinner here. I am attracted by them. You are so hungry."

The thin fake foreign ghost Chen Bulei, his master "Nan Batian" Nan Yunshan, his apprentice Duan Muchun, and Xiao Bangzi all walked into the living room and took their seats. Everyone drank the same Kuding tea. No one complained. They drank it all in one gulp and shouted. Tired to death.

Li Guolou looked at Huang Guang. Sure enough, he had lost a lot of weight. He sighed with emotion: "Chairman Huang, thank you for your hard work. You have taken a thankless seat. I want to ask, what is the standard for demolition? Are you bullying the people?" something happened."

Chen Bulei said: "Oh, let me tell you. After registering private property, issuing property certificates to those who can produce property certificates, and issuing deed registration methods. On March 15th, the demolition office clearly announced that Fan Chaoyang Residents who need to be demolished under the reconstruction plan must notify the owner one month in advance. This demolition is compulsory demolition. All residents in Chaoyang area need to be relocated. However, it is stipulated that compensation must be paid to the demolished households and additional land allocated. After we and the owner After a long discussion, the owner was finally given three aspects of compensation. First, the house price. The housing price was implemented based on the analysis and confirmation by comprehensive experts from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. Second, the expropriation fee for all types of homestead land was 70 taels per mu. Third, It is to allocate housing land of the same area in other areas for free."

Li Guolou nodded frequently when he heard this. He said with approval: "Yes. Mr. Chen is a great talent and thoughtful. Are there any practical difficulties in the demolition?"

Chen Bulei sighed: "Captain Li can't say enough. The complaints are overwhelming. There are hundreds of new houses in Chaoyang area overnight. They are all unfinished houses without foundations. We have to carry out the compulsory demolition of unfinished houses first. For those newly built The so-called new house will not be recognized at all. At this time, we can only let Master Nan's people move in. Otherwise, there will be big trouble."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "These unscrupulous people deserve to be killed. They want to take advantage of them. I have been prepared for it for a long time. Please go on."

Huang Guangzheng'er Bajing said: "Of course, we will satisfy the legitimate requests of the owners. For example, those owners who want to see the new residence first and whether the transportation is convenient, we will also let them visit. Who is willing to move out first? .have the right to choose a new home. This is not the case. As you can see, those owners saw the houses we built for them and flocked to them. They signed the contract immediately and rushed to move out."

"Oh... well done. I see the hard work you put in." Li Guolou thought about the scene he saw on the street outside. The demolition was carried out quickly. So that's what happened.

"Then what can you do to deal with those nail households?" Li Guolou is not easy to fool. He has long thought that there are people who refuse to move. The people in charge of demolition always have places that they don't want him to see. Let him go in an unknown way. The so-called road means there is a place to hide.

"Hehehehehe." There was a burst of evil laughter in the living room. They peeked at each other shyly. Some things still need to be reported to Li Guolou.

Xiao Bangzi said: "To be honest, Captain Li, we are also using our brains. Some of those Manchus have masters. The names given are scary to death. We don't dare to mess around. But now that we are here, we will not give in. The property belongs to them, but the road belongs to us. I opened this mountain and planted this tree. We dug countless big holes around their houses so that they could not go back even if they had a home. Even if they stayed at home We will starve them to death even if they are hungry. Of course, at night, these people will not be able to sleep. We will beat gongs and drums and make noise all night long, and firecrackers will be thrown directly into their rooms."

"Oh..." Li Guolou feels relieved. As long as no one is killed, this kind of trivial trick can be regarded as a clever trick. It is just a wise move based on the wisdom of the ancients.

Li Guolou warned: "You must be careful. Don't cause an incident of playing with fire and self-immolation. Try to provide compensation as much as possible. If the boss is in trouble, just waste some money to settle the matter. I'll go talk to the boss Du. Don't give it to anyone." Use your words to tell me that you are not a human being."

"Xiao Lizi, don't worry. This is not a mafia. No one is being persecuted. I promise you..." Huang Guang patted his chest and promised. Even his newly married wife Na Yan also used it to swear. swear.

Chen Bulei pushed Li Guolou out. He winked and said, "Don't worry, little Lizi. We don't have anything else. We still have some money. We will do everything to perfection. It won't delay your great future. I'm the No. 1 scholar." "While talking, he pushed Li Guolou. Li Guolou is not welcome here. He was not invited to lunch. Even the tea was Kuding tea. He didn't even drink hot water if he stayed any longer.

Li Guolou reluctantly left the Chaoyang Development Zone. Surrounded by pairs of wary eyes, it was impossible to conduct investigation and research. At this time, he already knew the truth of being cold at high places. He had already seen the scenes that should be shown to him. As for other places, "This road is blocked."

"Hey, Xiaofang. What else are they hiding from me? Why won't they tell me the truth?" Li Guolou couldn't help but vent his dissatisfaction. He could only confide in his closest lover.

Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, you are a ninth-grade official. You have a bright future ahead of you. How could they not know where you will lean in the future? Who can predict? By then you will become Hai Rui. Wouldn't it cost them all their money? There is no return. So they won’t tell you things that you shouldn’t know. People in high positions are good people. Those below are responsible for shady matters. Don’t you already have experience and lessons? Don’t you understand yet? "

Li Guolou nodded and said: "Sister Xiaofang, you are right. It is better not to know things that should not be known. It will not kill anyone. If it is not exposed, just treat it as if nothing happened. This is the Qing Empire. It is the original intention. There is no human rights. Yu Chenglong, who makes decisions for the people, has been a seventh-rank official all his life. Emperor Kangxi threw him in a poor ravine. He didn't give him a title until he died. I'm not that stupid."

Chen Xiangfang held Li Guolou's arm and said softly: "Let's go, Mr. Zhuangyuan. We haven't had a meal together for a long time. Today you treat me. I'll pay the bill. Whatever you want to eat."

Li Guolou raised his hand and pointed blankly and said: "Let's go to the British Guild Hall. Authentic British and Western food."
