Chapter 773 Something big happened!
Chapter 773 Something big happened!
Zhao Jinhua was normal before entering Yard No. 2.
God knows, only she herself knows how excited she is inside!
Only she herself knew how much effort she had put in to suppress her overflowing emotions and not reveal herself in front of outsiders!
Only after she entered the courtyard and locked the gate from the inside did she run to the eaves in front of Ye Shu's house and excitedly shout, "Comrade Ye Shu! You are truly amazing!"
"How did you know that something must be wrong at Mrs. Xia's house? Why did you insist on asking me to go and find out?!"
She slapped her thighs excitedly, "Something's really happening! It's a big deal!"
Ye Shu lifted the door curtain and pointed to Mrs. Tang's house: "Let's talk over there."
So, everyone in the yard gathered at Mrs. Tang's house.
Zhao Jinhua was very emotional, but she also knew that this was a serious matter and that it would be a disaster if she spoke it out, so she lowered her voice and spoke carefully:
"That old lady Xia's family background is problematic! It's quite a problem! This entire compound used to belong to a large landowner. You all know this, right? His surname is Ding!"
Ye Shu and the others nodded: "Yes, I've heard of it."
Zhao Jinhua: "Mrs. Xia's husband's surname is Ding! He originally came from a branch of this large landowner's family. It's said that it wasn't a particularly important branch. In the past, his branch had a very close relationship with the main branch!"
"But later, when the Ding family, a major landowner, was banned, he was not among them!"
"It turns out he had already used all his connections to smooth things over. He wasn't sent away for reform. Instead, his entire family took Granny Xia's surname, changed their appearance, and continued to live here!"
Everyone was shocked.
Zhao Jinhua: "That old woman Xia was also a daughter of a small landlord, but the Ding family also had a servant named Xia, and they later took over the identity of this servant!"
Mrs. Jin: "So blatant? Didn't anyone notice and report it?"
Zhuang Jingjing also had doubts: "Are you sure this news is true?"
Zhao Jinhua shook her head. "That should be the case. I think they explained it very clearly. Besides, it happened several years ago. Only some elderly people still know about it, but their understanding is not very specific."
"But the surname change is probably true. The other details are probably just made-up stories they made up!"
Everyone just found it unbelievable.
This is really hidden in the city!
But even so, if it was just one or two people it would be fine, but with such a whole family, and real people involved, it wouldn't be easy to hide it from the world, right?
Ye Shu made a pointed analysis: "Perhaps, this matter is not just the personal behavior of Mrs. Xia and her family?"
She held the history of Wumu Town's development that Huo Yiting had borrowed in her hand and said:
"I did a quick search and found that the major landlord here is named Ding. Moreover, many people in government offices throughout the dynasties are old friends and students of the Ding family, or even members of their own family."
These will certainly not be recorded in the history of development of a local place.
At first glance, others would hardly notice the problem.
But Ye Shu had an almost photographic memory, and since she had obtained these history books specifically to check the local network of relationships, she would naturally be able to quickly discover the relationships between many of the people in them.
Therefore, it can be said that before liberation, the Wumu District was a huge network of relationships and interests!
Later, China was established and many networks of relationships were broken. However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so it is not difficult to secretly protect one or two people.
This is why the whole country feels that the problems in Ebony Town are so difficult.
Mrs. Tang: "You mean, it was the landlord surnamed Ding who finally chose to protect him?"
Ye Shu: "Before and after the war, this area must have been very chaotic. Hiding a few people is not a problem. The problem is that Mrs. Xia and her family want to continue to guard the ancestral home here. Because they are the ones who were saved, they have to guard the ancestral home."
"Since I've chosen them, it's impossible not to pay some money."
"Since the money has already been paid, everyone in Wumu Town must have taken care of it. So, getting rid of those who knew about it shouldn't be a big problem."
Mrs. Tang became excited: "Yes, if that's the case, then it means there's something wrong with their family itself. Then our future affairs will be easier."
Ye Shu remained calm: "This is a breakthrough, we must seize the opportunity and make good use of it."
After Mrs. Xia was taken away by the patrol soldiers, she was kept in the hospital and was arranged to undergo various examinations.
She is old and must have some problems here and there, but overall, she is much healthier than the average elderly person.
But the strange thing is that she had been taken away for several days, and no one from the Xia family showed up once.
They still live and work as usual.
When Ye Shu and the others went out to attract fire, they never encountered them.
It seems like he is deliberately avoiding the people in Yard No. 2?
After Ye Shu finished his analysis, Sister Jin clapped her hands:
"Yes! This is very abnormal! If something like this happened to my family, I wouldn't say who to blame, but I would at least come and ask clearly what exactly happened at that time, right?"
Mrs. Tang: "Unless, they are deliberately keeping a low profile and not letting people know of their presence."
Zhao Jinhua: "That's not right. Mrs. Xia made quite a commotion the other day. She doesn't seem to be trying to be low-key at all!"
Ye Shu: "Because it involves interests."
She had a vague suspicion in her mind and said confidently, "So, they won't stop here. They must have more tricks up their sleeve."
There is indeed a back-up plan. The noise in the office building is getting louder and louder.
At the beginning, Yin Fangfang acted like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger, or rather, she acted like a crazy person with a single-minded mind, and she ran around in those courtyards recklessly.
This might be the first time that everyone encountered her doing this, and they were unable to react for a while, but she actually succeeded several times.
But soon they found a way to deal with her. Since she was a woman, they wouldn't let men stop her.
She is aggressive, so find some more aggressive women to deal with her.
Therefore, the hustle and bustle outside these days has completely overshadowed the excitement of everyone buying New Year's goods as the year draws to a close.
Just like a fire, it burns more and more vigorously, but eventually it will get out of control.
For example, on this day, in Mrs. Tang's room, Ye Shu and the others had just finished their analysis when they suddenly heard a huge and noisy noise outside.
Several people were very surprised and walked out of the door and stood at the gate of the yard to look.
Someone was running from a distance, looking panicked.
Zhao Jinhua hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The man's face was pale, obviously frightened. He gasped, swallowed his saliva and said, "Oh no! Something happened! Someone's been killed!"
Ye Shu faintly heard someone screaming in the distance: "It's Captain Huo from the cycling team!"
"Ah—murder!"
"Dead! Dead!"
