Compared with last year, the 82-year-old Yanjing has changed significantly, and the city, which seemed to be still silent, has suddenly entered the hustle and bustle, and there are construction sites everywhere.

Those who build roads, push to the dilapidated courtyard houses for reconstruction, or plan and rectify the LC area, all seem to be busy in an instant, and a large number of farmers are not too busy after the beginning of spring to be signaled to Yanjing City to do volunteer work.

Although the volunteers are not paid, they are in charge of food. Therefore, these farmers are very active, after all, now is not the time to be busy with farming, and they are idle at home, and they can make efforts to eat in the city, and they can also leave a mouthful of food for their families, right?

What stands out from the busyness is the young men and women who wander the streets, and if they had not eaten in the previous two years, they would have made every effort to eat.

But in the past two years, they have become familiar with the streets, and they have also mixed up a little famous hall, and they eat and drink every day, and you let them go to the construction site to work as coolies? This picture is too beautiful to think.

"Can the boss tape recorder be credited?" In Wu Aibing's shop, several young men and women walked in, randomly carrying a tape recorder and plugging it in, and then put a cassette tape inside.

Listening to the songs inside, I clicked on some keys on the tape recorder, and found that there was nothing wrong, and nodded with a satisfied look on my face.

"Small businesses don't pay on credit. Wu Aibing raised his eyebrows and stood up from his chair.

Yang Dongxu, who was munching on an apple next to him, didn't look at this side closely, and the other customers in the store did the same.

"How can I take care of your family's business if I don't give face like this?" The young man felt very shameless, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and several companions beside him looked a little unkind.

"The deputy director of the intersection police station is my hair, if you don't let him come over and sign it, I will give you some face. Wu Aibing crossed his arms and sneered on his face.

"Phew, if you do this, the business will close sooner or later. The young man spat on the ground and snorted, and turned away with a few of his little followers.

Although the streets are a bit chaotic now, it doesn't prove that the police are eating dry food, and it's okay not to get caught, but if they are caught, they will have to peel off their skin.

"There are a lot of such bastards now?" Yang Dongxu frowned, not only in Wu Aibing's store, but even Yang Jiayan's side occasionally encountered a few waves of people who wanted to owe debts.

However, it is a little better than Wu Aibing's side of Yang Jiayan, after all, there are now a few more shops selling tape recorders and tapes in Dongcheng, and even selling TV sets, so his side is not very conspicuous.

But there are not many restaurants as big as Yang's Banquet, and more importantly, there are some leaders and foreign guests who eat at Yang's Banquet from time to time, which makes these gangsters naturally dare not go too far, and they often hang over there.

"Every day, there are always a few people who feel that they have a big face and want to give credit to their faces, and there are a few times when they almost fight. Wu Aibing glanced at Yang Dongxu and was still wrinkled.

Although Wu Aibing didn't speak, when Yang Dongxu heard it, he was a little dissatisfied in his tone, because after listening to Yang Dongxu's words, Dongzi faded out of the street last year, and became a big boss with peace of mind.

In addition to some old gangsters, his reputation also gives some face, and these new people, or some people who feel that they are good at mixing, no longer take Dongzi seriously, which makes sometimes the store often harassed by some people.

"It's good to endure it a little longer, such a mess must be managed, otherwise economic development is an empty word." ”

Before his rebirth, Yang Dongxu lived in the countryside most of the time, and he was not very old, so he didn't have a deep understanding of the chaos in society except for hearing about some village tyrants in Shili Eight Villages before the crackdown. I didn't expect that now these bastards on the street are about to have the posture of the old boy in the movie, and the fight for territory and cutting people is not very common, but it has happened several times.

"Hey, what's going on over there?" said a customer at the door of the store.

The customers in the boom shop all ran out, not that there were fights and slashing people on the street, and when they encountered such a thing, everyone couldn't avoid it, so it was naturally impossible to get up, but the sky in the east was full of smoke.

"It's a fire, it's a big fire. ”

"Looking at the distance, it seems to be on the street outside Jianguomen. ”

"The weather has been a bit dry lately, and this fire is hard to extinguish. ”

Wangfujing is almost less than four kilometers away from Jian'anmen Outer Street, that is, Yong'anli, at this time, the sky is full of smoke, and the distance of four kilometers can clearly see how big this fire is.

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed, close the door early today, and come back tomorrow if you want to buy something, I have relatives over there in the fire, and I have to go and have a look." Wu Aibing and Yang Dongxu, who came out of the shop, glanced at each other and left the mouth and said.

"Then we're going to have to go over and see how we can help. ”

"Let's go later, it's too dangerous to go at this time. ”

Many people began to persuade the armed forces to love the soldiers, some let them go, and some did not let them go. However, Wu Aibing obviously had his own ideas, and kept closing the door of the store with a smiling face, and was about to go by on his bicycle.

"Don't go over now, it's definitely a mess over there, you wait for news here, I'll go and inquire." Seeing Yang Dongxu flick his legs and sit on the back seat of the bicycle, Wu Aibing stopped and turned his head.

"That's fine, no...... Don't go over there yet, go to Dongzi's side first, and ask what the hell is going on and why it's so hot. Yang Dongxu looked a little unsightly from the back seat of the bicycle.

Judging from the direction of the fire, it should be Yong'anli, although Dongzi's warehouse is not there, but the wholesale clothing and other things vendors are concentrated there to set up stalls, Dongzi will sometimes go over to see, if this really happens to have an accident, or has something to do with this fire, it is definitely a big deal.

The fire burned from the afternoon to more than ten o'clock in the night, and the burning fire was seen farther away at night, and the entire Yanjing City fell into an inexplicable panic.

"Have you been involved in this matter?" Zhou Yiren, who looked tired, returned home with a tired face after the fire was extinguished, and asked directly when he saw Yang Dongxu, who was restless walking back and forth in the room.

It's not that he doesn't know anything about the things Yang Dongxu usually does, he just turned a blind eye and didn't ask, but this fire suddenly stabbed a big hole in the sky.

"I have a few shops over there, but most of them are rented out to sell clothes, and I haven't been there a few times, so I don't know what's going on now. Yang Dongxu hurriedly said.

Zhou Yiren nodded, he still knew his grandson. If something really involved him, he would definitely say that he still had confidence in Yang Dongxu at this point.

At this time, the sound of a bicycle sounded at the door, and Yang Dongxu immediately ran out, and Wu Aibing, who had a gray face, carried the bicycle over the threshold.

"How's it going?" Yang Dongxu didn't care about letting Wu Aibing rest, and asked directly.

"It has nothing to do with Dongzi, it was the other two groups of people who fought in order to sell the chassis of the clothing street, but the losing side was not convinced and directly set a fire, and the street was full of clothes and fabrics that were easy to burn, so the fire could not be controlled at all, and it expanded instantly. Wu Aibing put down the bicycle and didn't politely run to the house with Yang Dongxu, poured a cup of tea, and poured it up.

"How did you get it until now?"

"The whole street burned down, and in the end, several yards were demolished as a barrier so that the fire did not continue to spread, and there was a need for manpower everywhere, so I stayed to help people put out the fire, and when the fire was controlled, I went to Dongzi to ask. ”

This is in line with Wu Aibing's character, after all, he still has a sense of responsibility for veterans who have participated in battles.

"Uncle, it is said that foreign devils were burned inside, is it true?" After breathing a sigh of relief, Wu Aibing turned his head to Zhou Yiren and asked.

"According to the on-site investigation, there were indeed foreign staff members in that street at the time, but I was from the research office, not the police station, so the specific situation is not very clear. Zhou Yiren shook his head.

At least nearly 100 people were killed in a fire, including a few foreigners, and all departments in Yanjing City were involved. Even he, the director of the Reform Research Office, who was not concerned with firefighting at all, was dragged to a meeting until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which shows how big this matter is.

"Don't rest after washing your face, hurry up and go to Dongzi's side, ask him if he wiped his ass clean before, if you can go out and hide quickly." Yang Dongxu's face changed and he said.

"I'm sure it's clear, this matter has nothing to do with Dongzi. Wu Aibing looked at Yang Dongxu puzzled.

"You mean......" Zhou Yiren looked at his godgrandson with some uncertainty.

"Lao Zhou, there is a call from your unit, saying that there is an emergency meeting, so please hurry up and have a meeting. "The voice of the aunt of the street office sounded at the door, and now the phone cannot be installed in a private home, so the phone is called to the street of Hutong to handle anything.

"I'm going to a meeting, you don't run around. Zhou Yiren got up and left in a hurry.

Seeing his godfather leave, Yang Dongxu felt even more uneasy. He didn't know what the reason for next year's crackdown before he was reborn, but this time the chaos was so great that it directly pierced the sky, and even a few foreigners were burned to death. It would not be impossible if the crackdown that should take place next year is launched ahead of schedule because of this incident.

"Why are you still stunned, hurry over and ask clearly. Seeing that Wu Aibing was still sitting there in a daze, Yang Dongxu went over and kicked him.

"Alas, alas, I'm going to go over, something is going to happen to Xuzi?" Wu Aibing reacted, and at the same time seemed to have a premonition of something Looking at Yang Dongxu.

"It's hard to say whether something big will happen, but as soon as this incident comes out, at least a group of people will definitely be arrested on the street now, although Dongzi didn't mix on the street last year, but he is not famous, and it is not impossible to be caught as a typical one. ”

The accident of this fire made Yang Dongxu's mind full of mud at this time, he really couldn't be sure what kind of chain reaction this incident would cause, but one thing was certain, that is, this matter was definitely not trivial.
