Chapter 54 Chapter 54 What's the reason
Han Lin naturally understood Yang Dai's little thoughts, and he was willing to cooperate.
The two were not far from the Cultural Relics Street, and it only took a few minutes to get there.
But in broad daylight, there was not a single person on the street, so there was really nothing to see.
"There have been some rumors about ghosts here in the past. People who are timid will not come here easily." Han Lin and Yang Dai held hands, and seeing the disappointment on Yang Dai's face, he couldn't help but speak out.
Yang Dai stopped and looked up at Han Lin. "How do you know so much?"
Although Han Lin arrived in the capital earlier than her, he wasn't much earlier. So when he talked about these things, he sounded like a local.
Han Lin smiled and did not respond to Yang Dai's question, but continued with what he was saying just now.
"The houses here used to be the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles. But after the emperor died and wars broke out among the warlords, the houses here became the residences of the warlords' wives."
Once people have power, they will be very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The warlords who could live there were all powerful warlords, and the entire street was occupied by warlords’ homes.
But everyone soon discovered something strange.
Once a warlord decides to settle down here, it won't be long before bad things happen.
When the first warlord moved in, he was full of confidence, believing that with strong soldiers and plenty of guns and ammunition, he would soon reach the pinnacle of his life.
However, after living in this house for only three months, the warlord accidentally fell off his horse. Although he did not lose his life immediately, both his legs were amputated and he would never be able to stand up again.
When this happens, the power in the hands of the warlords is quickly divided up and replaced by other forces.
And the houses on this long street welcomed new owners.
Before this man moved into the house, he specially invited a famous Feng Shui master of the time to redo the Feng Shui layout of his home, which was said to be able to protect him for generations to come.
But it's still useless.
Half a year later, the warlord was stabbed to death in bed by his aunt. It was said that she was stabbed eighteen times in the abdomen, and her death was miserable.
The third and fourth households both moved in and ended up in a messy situation soon after.
Gradually, the houses on an entire street became deserted.
It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the public and private sectors were merged and the state redistributed houses. This house was given to a nearby factory as a family area, and workers began to move in one after another.
After these people moved in, I haven't heard of anything bad happening.
But people in this area have a habit of not going out after dark. Even if there is a lot of noise outside, they will stay quietly in their rooms and never join in the fun.
Therefore, after discovering that the impact of cultural relics had decreased and the state was willing to relax its restrictions, a cultural relics street spontaneously formed nearby and gradually expanded to its current size.
After listening to Han Lin's story, Yang Dai looked at the surrounding environment and felt that it was a bit magical.
"There's nothing to see here. Let's go. It's getting late." Ever since Han Lin finished telling her these things, she always felt that the houses around her looked much more desolate.
"You know so much." After walking out of the street, Yang Dai couldn't help but say another sentence.
"As long as you like it, I'll tell you everything I know." Han Lin smiled with his head down, with a good temper.
It was time to get off work again. People were coming and going on the street, and from time to time their eyes fell on Yang Dai and Han Lin.
It can be seen that the two are a couple with a good relationship. They smiled gently, then lowered their heads again and continued on their way.
"I found out that you..." Yang Dai glared at Han Lin and didn't say the last few words.
But Han Lin didn't mind at all, and slowly finished the last few words, "Slippery tongue?"
Yang Dai didn't say anything, but quickened her pace to show her attitude.
Han Lin followed Yang Dai slowly, a smile on his face.
Before Yang Dai came, Han Lin did explore all the surrounding environment, collected a lot of newspapers, and inquired about local affairs as much as possible.
If he was not really short of time, he would have wanted to see all the places marked on the map in person.
To ensure that no matter what problems Yang Dai has, he can give an answer or solution in the first time.
In the next few days, the two of them walked around various places in the capital according to their original plan.
Yang Dai and Han Lin also went to see the so-called subway, but were unable to get in.
It is said that this is the first subway in the capital. Some sections have been completed, but for some unknown reason, it has never been put into use.
Han Lin and Yang Dai asked around, but couldn't find out the reason, so they had to leave.
The two have already agreed on their next stop, which is to go to the department store.
The department stores in the capital are much more prosperous than those in the county towns. Yang Dai can basically find everything she can think of and can't think of there.
However, Yang Dai just took a look and bought some local specialties to take home and share with her family, but she didn't bring anything else.
After all, she will stay in the capital for a month, and it will be more convenient to buy things then.
After coming out of the department store, the two decided to have tea and then eat hot pot.
The capital is very big, and these days the two of them have had to walk or take the bus, but it's not entirely convenient.
After coming out of the department store, Han Lin went to the auto repair shop.
I don’t know how Han Lin communicated with the people in the repair shop, but Han Lin quickly pushed over a half-new bicycle, which was said to be enough to ride until the day they left the capital.
With a bicycle, it is more convenient to go anywhere.
The department store the two came to was the largest one in the capital, and the surrounding area was also very prosperous.
The two of them simply didn't ride the bikes, but pushed them and walked slowly.
"What's happening up ahead?" The intersection ahead was blocked by a group of people. Yang Dai wanted to stand on tiptoe to see, but apart from the heads of people, she couldn't see what was happening in the center.
"Here." Han Lin took Yang Dai's hand and found a place with higher ground. Standing on the stone, Yang Dai finally saw the innermost position over the crowd of people.
It was a young man, his clothes were tattered, he was tied up with ropes, his head was hanging, and there were scratches on his face.
Everyone standing around him was filled with righteous indignation and pointed fingers.
There were also a few people who looked particularly excited, throwing all sorts of things in their hands at each other.
From another direction, uniformed police officers came over.
But the crowd was so tightly packed that even the police could not squeeze into the center circle for a while.
Yang Dai was a little far away and couldn't figure out the specific reason.
But the people who were also watching the fun nearby seemed to have heard the main news from the crowd in front, and were dancing and sharing it with the people around them. Yang Dai also took the opportunity to listen.
The man didn't seem to be a local, but he found a job locally.
It is said that he is a very capable person. Everyone welcomed him at the beginning. However, he did not expect that he would deliberately destroy public property, which aroused public anger.
"The textile factory not far ahead is one of the largest factories in our area. Because of this person, we almost lost hundreds of thousands of dollars!"
Nowadays, everyone’s monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. Even if a family works hard to save money and does not spend a penny, they will never see hundreds of thousands of yuan in their lifetime.
But that young man could easily make the factory lose so much money just by talking.
When everyone knew about it, they naturally refused to forgive.
Before the police arrived, people from his own factory beat the man up.
However, criticizing only in the factory obviously could not reduce everyone's anger towards hundreds of thousands of people, so they were deliberately driven out of the factory and paraded through the streets.
As they paraded through the streets and talked, more and more people followed them, and now the road was completely blocked.
"This kind of person should be shot! He is maliciously sabotaging cooperation!" The people around him were still filled with indignation.
On the other side, the police finally squeezed into the crowd, took out handcuffs and handcuffed the man.
The handcuffed man seemed to be in a daze after being beaten. No matter what others asked or scolded him, he kept his head down and pretended to be dead.
The policemen who came to arrest him were two, one big and one small. The big one was very experienced and must have handled many cases. After seeing this man, although he was angry, he suppressed his temper, evacuated the people around, and wanted to bring the criminal back to the police station for interrogation as soon as possible.
But the young policeman next to him was obviously inexperienced and couldn't bear it at all, but the discipline was there, so he wouldn't be too obvious.
He simply pinched the man's neck hard, forcing him to look up and reveal his face.
Those who do evil things should be punished so that everyone will remember their evil faces.
Although Yang Dai was a little far away, she was standing on a high ground and could still see the man's appearance clearly at a glance.
Yang Dai walked down from the stone.
"What's wrong?" Han Lin asked immediately after noticing Yang Dai's emotional silence. While everyone was watching the fun, he pinched Yang Dai's fingers as a comfort.
"Let's move the rest of today's plans to tomorrow." Yang Dai's voice was a little soft. "I want to follow these people to the police station to take a look."
Han Lin raised his eyebrows.
Although Yang Dai is curious, this curiosity is actually not very deep. When she encounters something on the road, Yang Dai basically just takes a look.
"I know that person." Yang Dai quickly gave Han Lin the answer.
That person was Zeng Mingjie. When the county's food factory was negotiating cooperation with foreign businessmen, it was this person who acted as an interpreter. If Xia Ziqing had not been good at English, this order would have encountered many twists and turns.
After Edel finalized the cooperation with the county food factory, he directly dismissed Zeng Mingjie, and Yang Dai never saw him again after that.
Xia Ziqing had heard of this person before and wanted to share it with Yang Dai, but they had just started talking when they were interrupted by Liao Tiandong.
Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, I met this person again in the capital.
"This isn't the first time he's done this. I want to go and see what the reason is."
