Martial Arts Song

Chapter 70 Exploitation
"Uncle Yonggui, let's talk as we walk."

Chen Qing stood up and said to Chen Zhengzhong's coworkers.

The worker who came was named Zhou Yonggui. He was similar in age to Chen Zhengzhong, both in their forties. He also lived in Nanba District, but it was some distance away from the place where Chen Qing's family rented.

The Chen family had just come to Qianyang for about half a year. After going through the stage of unfamiliarity with the place, Chen Zhengzhong got to know many workers, so he often invited these workers back for dinner, hoping to develop interpersonal relationships.

But after recruiting for a period of time, I found that most of these workers were the kind who could only get in and out. They had never invited Chen Zhengzhong back and forth, so they stopped inviting them later.

However, Chen Zhengzhong still keeps in touch with these workers on weekdays. When everyone receives a job, if the construction period is too tight and there is a shortage of people, they will ask other carpenters to help and lend a hand, which can be regarded as helping each other at work. kind of relationship.

The original person had naturally met Zhou Yonggui before, so Chen Qing, who inherited the original person's memory, could also call him by name.

"it is good!"

After hearing Chen Qing's words, Zhou Yonggui, who ran back a little breathless, nodded, and then said: "Remember...remember to bring the medicine money. Your dad said there is a mezzanine under the bed in the back room, and his money is usually placed in it. .”

"No, I have money."

After hearing this, Chen Qing said calmly.

Then, he walked around the small table filled with dishes in front of him and walked outside the room.

After hearing his words, Zhou Yonggui was startled.

But since Chen Qing said so, he didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the house.

Afterwards, after Chen Qing locked the door, the two of them walked along the corridor to the corridor at the end.

As Chen Qing walked away, he asked, "Uncle Yonggui, what's going on? Which medical center is my dad at now?"

From beginning to end, Chen Qing was calm.

On the one hand, this is because he is not the real original person after all, and on the other hand, he feels that something is strange.

It would have happened sooner or later, but it was too much of a coincidence that this happened after he was named on the list for the summer recruitment of the patrol house.

If it hadn't been for the four foreigners who kicked him out when he was at Huxingmen, he might not be so surprised. After all, coincidences do exist in this world.

But now, he felt that this was something unusual.

"The thing is like this..."

Upon hearing Chen Qing's inquiry, Zhou Yonggui did not hide anything. As he walked away, he told Chen Qing the whole story.

The thing is actually very simple.

Recently, Zhou Yonggui and Chen Zhengzhong have been working together, making furniture such as wardrobes, cabinets, bed cabinets, tables and chairs for a family in Yunyang District who is getting married.

Originally this was just a simple carpentry job, and all kinds of new cabinets and furniture were quickly made, and it was about to be finished.

But just today, the bride of this family discovered that the jade ring given by her husband, which was said to be an ancestral ring, was missing!
Suddenly, the family exploded.

Start rummaging around your home!

Then, they found a jade wrench on the bottom of Chen Zhengzhong's toolbox.

Therefore, the family thought that Chen Zhengzhong had stolen it.

The bride's younger brother was also a gang member of the Iron Fist Society. In a rage, he picked up the stool that Chen Zhengzhong had just made and beat Chen Zhengzhong to a bloody head without saying a word, without paying his wages.

At this time, Chen Zhengzhong was being bandaged at a medical clinic near Yunyang, but because Chen Zhengzhong went to work on weekdays, except for food money, he did not carry any extra money with him.

In addition, Yunyang District, as the city center of Qianyang City, has higher medical costs than those in other districts. Therefore, Chen Zhengzhong and Zhou Yonggui could not afford the medical expenses combined, so they had to let Chen Zhengzhong stay. He acted as a "hostage" in the medical center and asked Zhou Yonggui to come to Nanba District and ask Chen Qing to bring money.

After listening to Zhou Yonggui's description, Chen Qing suddenly frowned.

This sounds like it's just an ordinary matter where the family wants to make money, and there's nothing fishy about it.

Could it be that I am overthinking it?

This thought came to him, but he did not make any judgment on it.

When Zhou Yonggui told him what happened, the two of them also made their way from Nanba District to Yunyang District in the dark.

During this period, maybe it was too early, or maybe the two of them were lucky and did not encounter the kind of people who squatted and robbed in the dark.

After walking into Yunyang District, there were street lights and police patrols on the road. The two of them no longer had any concerns about safety, so they speeded up and headed towards the medical center where Chen Zhengzhong was.

"just in front!"

When the two came to a street called Zhongcao Road in Yunyang District near Hexi District, Zhou Yonggui pointed to an open medical clinic with lights on along the street and said.

After seeing this, Chen Qing walked straight to the medical center without saying anything.

After getting closer, Chen Qing stood at the door and saw Chen Zhengzhong sitting on a chair inside, his head wrapped in yellowed old gauze.

On one side of Chen Zhengzhong's cheek, there were still streaks of dried dark red blood.

At this time, he was staring blankly ahead, his eyes wandering, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing's originally calm face slowly turned gloomy.

He learned from Zhou Yonggui that when Chen Zhengzhong was beaten by his employer, he actually didn't feel much in his heart.

But when he saw Chen Zhengzhong looking like this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

Even though he is not actually the original one.

Although this little old man didn't have much communication with him during the few months he traveled back in time.

But he still remembered that when he proposed to learn boxing, the other party objected fiercely on the surface, but in fact, after asking him clearly, he said nothing more and made no mention of asking him to pay money.

Also, when he comes back from boxing practice every day, he has actually had dinner at Huxingmen, but the other party still insists on cooking his portion of the meal every day.

Why should such a cold-hearted person be beaten like this and not get the wages he deserves? !

Chen Qing's eyes narrowed slightly unconsciously, and he asked in a cold voice: "Uncle Yonggui, where is that family?"

Zhou Yonggui, who was originally following Chen Qing and preparing to go in, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Chen Qing's words. He turned back to look at Chen Qing and persuaded him: "Ah Qing, don't be impulsive. That person is from the Iron Fist Club. We little people can mess with him." Not worth it."

"It's okay, I've been admitted to the patrol room."

Chen Qing looked at him and said, "Besides, Uncle Yonggui, don't you want any wages?"

"Did you pass the exam to the patrol room?!"

Zhou Yonggui looked surprised and said: "Really or not?!"

"Of course it's true. Now go to the patrol room door and read the poster. My name is on it."

Chen Qing replied calmly.

Hearing Chen Qing's words and seeing Chen Qing's confident look, Zhou Yonggui, who was still a little hesitant, immediately raised his hand and pointed to an alley across the street and said: "It's in that alley! Go in, there are red hangings hanging there. The lantern, the one with the 囍 on it, is easy to find! Ah Qing, you must help us get our wages back!"

Speaking of the latter, Zhou Yonggui looked begging.

They helped the family build various cabinets, tables and chairs. If they couldn't pay, they would lose not only the wages, but also the delayed construction period.

For the poor migrant workers living in Nanba, this means that they will have to tighten their pants for the next two months, and may even go without food!

Therefore, Zhou Yonggui, who had originally planned to consider himself unlucky, immediately changed his attitude after hearing that Chen Qing had been admitted to the patrol room.

Chen Qing looked in the direction he pointed, nodded clearly, and replied: "Okay, I understand."

While the two were talking at the door, Chen Zhengzhong, who was sitting inside, also heard their conversation and looked over.

After seeing the two of them, he stood up and walked over. But before walking a few steps, a medical apprentice trotted out from behind the counter and said, "Hey, you haven't paid yet, don't leave!"

"how much is it?"

Chen Qing stepped into the medical clinic and asked.

"Hemostatic powder and old gauze for bandage, a total of eight yuan."

The medical apprentice said.

After hearing this, Chen Qing reached out and took out a ten-dollar bill and paid it to the apprentice at the medical clinic.

After the apprentice from the medical clinic took it, he said: "Wait a moment, I will give you change."

After saying that, he walked towards the counter.

While the other party was making change, Chen Qing looked at Chen Zhengzhong and asked, "Dad, why is that family's jade ring in your toolbox?"

"What? You also suspect that I stole it?"

Chen Zhengzhong snorted coldly.

Chen Qing, who was used to Chen Zhengzhong's temper, shook his head and said: "No, I suspected that this family did not want to settle your wages, so I deliberately framed you and wanted you to think back to who in this family touched your toolbox today. "

After hearing Chen Qing's words, Chen Zhengzhong's expression softened.

But then, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, no more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yonggui on the side said hurriedly: "How can you not! The two of us have been working for more than a month! Lao Chen, your son has now been admitted to the patrol room, and you are still afraid of a ball!"

"Admitted to the patrol room?"

Chen Zhengzhong was stunned when he heard this. After looking at Zhou Yonggui, he looked at Chen Qing and asked, "Have you been admitted to the patrol room?!"

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded.

"How can it be?!"

Chen Zhengzhong said with surprise on his face.

At this moment, the medical apprentice came over with two dollars. He looked at Chen Qing with the same surprise, and handed over the change. His tone unconsciously used honorifics: "This is for you." Two dollars."

Apparently, he also heard the conversation between several people.

Chen Qing took the refunded money, looked at Chen Zhengzhong and said, "Now my name is on the bulletin board at the door of the patrol room. Dad, if you don't believe it, go and take a look?"

When Chen Zhengzhong heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay! Just go and have a look!"

Unlike Zhou Yonggui, he was too embarrassed to actually go and see it.

Although he had already believed most of Chen Qing's appearance, he still had to see him with his own eyes to fully believe it.

Zhou Yonggui on the side did not say a word, because he actually still didn't believe it in his heart.

Now that Chen Zhengzhong proposed to go and take a look, he naturally happened to stop by and take a look, An Xin felt relieved.

Chen Qing didn't say anything after hearing this.

Afterwards, the three people left the medical center and walked all the way to Renmin Street where the patrol room was located.

At this time, the people who gathered here during the day had already dispersed. Only people passing by occasionally stopped at the bulletin board in front of the patrol room to take a look at the admission list posted on it.

After the three people arrived here, they went straight to the bulletin board to check the admission list.

When he saw Chen Qing's name on the admission list posted on the bulletin board, Zhou Yonggui finally felt relieved.

At the same time, the way he looked at Chen Qing also became different.

Chen Zhengzhong, on the other hand, just stood there in a daze, watching, without moving for a long time.

Chen Qing said: "Now you believe it."

After hearing this, Chen Zhengzhong had a rare smile on his face. He looked at Chen Qing and said with pride in his eyes: "As expected of my son! I have always believed that you can get into the patrol room! You really did not disappoint me!"

"...Now can you safely recall who touched your toolbox?"

Chen Qing resisted and ignored Chen Zhengzhong's two faces and said.

However, Chen Zhengzhong still shook his head and said: "Forget it, you have just passed the exam now. It is just the beginning, so don't waste your time and energy on such things."

He still didn't want to cause trouble to Chen Qing.

After hearing this, Chen Qing didn't bother to ask any more questions. He turned around and walked into the Yunyang District patrol room next to him.

Then, before the policeman at the information desk in the hallway stood up and asked him, he said, "Hello, I am the new assistant policeman Chen Qing recruited this summer. Which office is Mu Zhiyou in? I am his nephew. "

The patrolman at the information desk was stunned for a moment, but then pointed in the direction.

Following the directions of the patrol officers at the information desk, Chen Qing walked into the pointed office, and then came to Mu Zhiyou's desk under the curious, sizing, or scrutinizing gazes of the patrol officers.

"How did you come?"

Mu Zhiyou looked at the arriving Chen Qing and asked in a daze.

Chen Qing said: "Uncle Mu, I want to trouble you with something."

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Yunyang District, Zhongcao Road.

In a certain alley.

A team of ten new assistant patrol officers, led by Mu Zhiyou, came to the door of an old building with a red lantern and a 囍 character on the door.

Standing outside the door, everyone could still hear the faint sounds of people pushing cups and changing cups from inside.

"I'll leave it to you next?"

Mu Zhiyou, who was wearing uniform, looked at Chen Qing who came with him.

Chen Qing nodded, then stepped forward and kicked the door without hesitation!
"boom!"

With a loud bang, the wooden door was kicked off and flew into the courtyard.

Chen Qing stepped on the door panel with a gloomy face and walked in, shouting loudly: "The patrol room is inspecting! Everyone, please squat down and hold your head!"

He never intended to come and solve this matter alone.

Now that he has been admitted to the patrol ward, although he has not yet been trained to join the job, he is already considered a member of the patrol ward. Naturally, he must make good use of this organization.

The sudden break in the door made the family in the small courtyard behind the door, whether they were having a drink or coming to play, or the owner of the house, all stood up and looked over with surprised expressions.

After seeing that the person who broke into the patrol room was someone from the patrol room, among the people drinking in the courtyard, a young man with a surly temperament came out and greeted him with a smile as he walked: "Sirs, I am a member of the Iron Fist Club. Liang, my boss is——"

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard by Chen Qing and fell to the ground.

I heard Chen Qing yelling loudly: "Are you deaf? Everyone squat down and hold their heads in front of me!"
