Chapter 311: Ruthless
At the end of 1979, nothing earth-shattering happened. Apex The fastest update, the focus of the whole country is also a few painless social news.
For example, in October, the drama "If I Am Real", which was based on the fraud case created by Huhai in the summer of that year, was publicly performed. Since this is a work that satirizes the idea of privilege, it has sparked heated discussions among audiences everywhere.
In November, the "two bears" of Hangzhou, who was born in the family of a general, were sentenced to death in accordance with the law, and the people strongly supported this.
In December, when the "great man" met with Japanese Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, he for the first time proposed a concept word "well-off" that most people felt fresh.
Although the term would later become a household name, everyone would know it. But at this time people were still very new to it, and few people understood the true meaning and great significance of the word.
As for the people of the capital, it is different from other places, and a particularly lively ** broke out.
This is because on October 24, the Beijing Municipal Government took the lead in proposing an implementation plan for raising the sales price of major non-staple foods and issuing subsidies according to the higher-level documents.
The Beijing City Government has decided to raise the prices of eight major non-staple foods, including meat, poultry, eggs, milk, fish, and vegetables, by about 30 percent from November 1. However, after the price adjustment, each employee will increase the non-staple food subsidy by 5 yuan per month.
This is the first attempt at price reform in our country. It is also the first large-scale price increase for commodities since the long-term price freeze. The impact is directly related to the livelihoods of thousands of households. The resulting effect and subsequent reaction are not without sensation.
Immediately, at the end of October, the people of the capital soon formed a vigorous "rush to buy". It was a national movement that was formed spontaneously by every household.
Everyone changed the diligent and thrifty style of many years, and did not hesitate to take out the savings accumulated over the years to buy special in the grocery store. The madness was so desperate to empty the inventory in the store.
As a result, in just a few days, the grocery store in the capital was as if it had been ransacked. Everything that fell within the price increase was sold out. There are even more "smart" masters who have bought a lot of related products.
This is clearly a farce today. But those who have personally experienced this era know that its forgiveness only comes from an indescribable sadness and helplessness. If nothing else, the common people are really poor!
Of course, this is only the big picture. If in the memory of most people in Beijing, 1979 was a quiet year, at most it was a false alarm, and it turned to 1980. But in the eyes of the police in the capital and the "players" in the north and south cities, they are completely different things.
These two more special social groups have only one feeling. Exhausted and trembling.
As for Hong Yanwu and most of the people around him, they were even more tearful in blood, had nowhere to shout grievances, and even left regrets that could never be made up.
And all kinds of results are triggered by one person, that is, "Shen Chenghuang" who escaped from prison in Qinghai and returned to Beijing.
As a matter of fact, as soon as "Shen Chenghuang" boarded the train back to Beijing, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau received a report from the Qinghai Provincial Public Security Department.
As the place of origin of the fugitives, the capital naturally has the obligation and necessity to trace the whereabouts and whereabouts of the fugitives within the jurisdiction of the fugitives. Moreover, after learning that "Shen Chenghuang" had killed two inmates serving a grudge against him in the labor camp before escaping from prison, they paid more attention to it.
As a result, the city bureau not only immediately assigned the details of the fugitives to the Dongcheng sub-bureau, but also to the police station where the original household registration of the "Shen Chenghuang" under its jurisdiction was located. In addition, the police force has been deliberately increased at the city's railway stations and long-distance bus stations, and the workers' militia has been deployed to patrol the city.
It's just a pity that the level of attention is still not enough.
"Shen Chenghuang" is not an ordinary fugitive, this former "King of Beicheng" not only has a great understanding of the society and environment of the capital, but also has an excellent martial arts. I have never met an opponent in my life, and a stomp can really make half of the capital tremble.
It was too easy for him to find a stable place to settle in the capital.
Even because the underground society can't see the light, it has the characteristics of insulating from the official face. Soon after he returned to Beijing, he did not attract much attention from the Beijing police, and immediately beat the "players" in Beicheng to a crushing defeat and bowed their heads.
In fact, almost overnight, many of the "old guns" in the big piers in Beicheng were poisoned by him.
Not only to take revenge on old grudges, but also to reinvigorate prestige. First of all, the "crooked-necked Liu" of Longfu Temple in Dongcheng was kicked and broken by him, broke an arm, and knelt on the ground in public to beg for mercy.
followed by the "big scar" of Beixinqiao, and he didn't dare to resist at all and "opened" the big opening of the two crosses on his face with a knife, which confirmed this nickname.
Then it was the "hemp walnut" of Xi'anmen that he first stuffed nails in his mouth, and then made up for it, and was kicked with a mouth full of rot.
In the end, there is Xisi who is famous for his bravery "Dapeng", and he is not afraid of death to lead his subordinates to draw knives to resist, but unfortunately the difference in strength is too great, and all seven people were still inserted into three knives and six holes, and their hands were also nailed to the wall.
After that, many people fell into bad luck one after another. There are even rumors that the two "old guns" who have retired to the rivers and lakes, "Crazy Bear" and "Fifty-four Knife", were found by this master, and they were choked to death one by one in the water tank, and their bodies had been thrown into the Tonghui River.
So for a while, everyone in Beicheng was in danger, and no one dared to go out, for fear of encountering this ruthless devil. Behind the scenes, they inevitably connected in private to discuss ways to deal with "Shen Chenghuang".
But the biggest characteristic of hooligans is selfishness, and there is a lack of elites in Beicheng now, and no one can carry the banner of leading figures. The "old guns" who mixed up back then scared this master to the bones.
The final result turned out to be that the twenty little "handles" succumbed in turn. Even when I met the face of "Shen Chenghuang", there were many people who secretly "stabbed" their opponents, saying that they were still not convinced. He went up to the ditch and knelt down to beg "Shen Ye" to regain the position of "King of Beicheng" in order to follow the work of dogs and horses.
It's just that everyone in Beicheng didn't expect it, but "Shen Chenghuang" really didn't mean it, people had their own plans, saying that he came back to make up a sum of money to get on the road, and secondly, to take someone with him, so he just gave two big orders to all the incumbent "handles" in Beicheng.
The first is to ask them to scrape together 1,000 yuan for each "handle" within five days to "make offerings", and the second is that they must find the whereabouts of "Sugar Heart". After satisfying these two items, he left the capital and never had anything to do with it. But if you can't scrape together the money and can't find anyone, then wait for them to become crippled one by one.
In such a situation, no one dares to slack off. People from all walks of life in the "North City" immediately jumped up.
On the one hand, they mobilized everyone to spread out to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, they frantically got on the bus to "grab points". Some people even went as far as "Langfang" and "Jinmen" and ventured to the "Buddha Fence Cabinet" to steal store watches.
Anyway, when it's time to pay the money, even those "tricks" who have already suffered have basically made up the money. It's just that for the whereabouts of "Sugar Heart", the people in Beicheng really haven't been found.
It's not surprising that the place where "Sugar Heart" lives has been classified into the control of Nancheng, and it is not the same path as these people. She has been living in seclusion for a year, and she has been active in a very small area. It is basically out of touch with the "rivers and lakes", and it is naturally difficult for these people to hear in the short term.
