("At this time, the first set of RMB had very large denominations, often thousands or tens of thousands, so they were uniformly replaced with the second set from two years later.")
"Little spy, quickly confess, where did your parents go?"
"Little spy, honestly confess, how many accomplices do your parents have?"
"You remnant of a spy, today we will judge you on behalf of the people."
"Confess and be lenient, resist and be dealt with severely."
A short, stout woman said viciously, "And your family's ill-gotten gains, if you don't hand them over honestly, we'll drag you out and shoot you."
Inside a Siheyuan Courtyard in Naluo Drum Lane.
All the residents surrounded a 15 or 16-year-old boy, their eyes fierce, looking as if they wanted to devour him.
At this moment, an unsmiling middle-aged man stepped forward and said righteously, "Everyone, calm down and listen to me."
"Liu Cheng, considering your youth, there are extenuating circumstances. As the newly elected First Grandpa of this Siheyuan Courtyard, I will make a decision for you. It is indeed unreasonable for a child like you to occupy two such large rooms. If you vacate the rooms, we can give you a break."
Hearing First Grandpa's words, the short, stout woman's jiggling fat trembled.
"That's right, quickly vacate the rooms. How detestable, what right does a little spy like you have to live in the nation's housing? Our family has so many people, yet we're squeezed into such a small room. Your rooms should be given to us."
"Not only must the rooms be vacated, but the ill-gotten gains must also be handed over."
"Yes, hand over your parents' ill-gotten gains, that will show you have a repentant heart, and we won't send you to the Military Control Office to be shot."
"Hmph, you don't know, just in our Naluo Drum Lane's Military Control Office, dozens of enemy agents were shot yesterday. For a small enemy agent like you, it only takes one peanut, bang, and your head will explode, brains splattering everywhere."
Facing their aggressive, fierce stares, and recalling the scene of criminals being shot, the young man had a heart attack and collapsed.
Seeing the young man faint, they not only showed no sympathy but all sneered.
"Don't think playing dead will get you off the hook. Today, your family's property will be handed over whether you like it or not."
"It's because your parents were reactionaries. Making you hand over the ill-gotten gains is already a great favor to you."
......
Liu Cheng looked at the people around him in a daze, his mind a blank.
Then countless memories merged into his mind.
He had transmigrated.
Transmigrated into the Siheyuan Courtyard Full of Animals.
And right now, the Siheyuan Courtyard was holding its first full-courtyard meeting since the establishment of the management First Grandpa.
The agenda of the meeting was to publicly try Liu Cheng.
While it was called a trial, it was actually just coveting his family's money.
The house Liu Cheng currently lived in was rented by his parents from the new government.
A few days ago, Liu Cheng's parents went to work and never returned, leaving him, an orphan with somewhat low intelligence.
The Four Courtyard Animals, naturally, branded his parents as enemy agents.
Thus, the scene just now unfolded.
And that intellectually challenged child was actually frightened to death by the Siheyuan Crowd.
At the same time, Liu Cheng from Earth transmigrated and was reborn.
As a modern person, he was no pushover.
He had always thought the Siheyuan Courtyard people were selfish and detestable when watching the show, but he never expected them to be even more vicious in person than they were on TV.
To plunder other people's property, they arbitrarily framed others. What was the difference between that and robbery?
While Liu Cheng was thinking, Jia Zhangshi's jiggling fat trembled.
"First Grandpa, look, the little spy is awake. I said he was faking it. Damn him, trying to get away with it, no way! If he doesn't hand over the savings and the house today, he'll be dragged to the Military Control Office and shot."
Damn it!
Liu Cheng stood up with a whoosh.
"Little spy? What right do you have to call me a little spy?"
They hadn't expected the usually timid and intellectually disabled boy to actually talk back?
This was undoubtedly rebellion.
Jia Zhangshi, being the most overbearing, immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Your parents are big spies, so you are naturally a little spy."
"Bah, you surnamed Zhang, what evidence do you have to say my parents are spies? As the saying goes, catch a thief with the loot, catch adulterers in the act. With your empty words, what right do you have to frame my parents? Without evidence, you are slandering."
Indeed, Liu Cheng's words hit the nail on the head.
Framing them was just an excuse for the Siheyuan Crowd to plunder property.
It was true his parents were missing, but who stipulated that being missing meant they were enemy agents?
However, Jia Zhangshi didn't care about all that. There was no reason to give up a piece of meat that was already in her mouth.
She had long been envious of Liu Cheng's family's two large tiled houses.
Before, when his parents were around, she couldn't find an opportunity.
Now that his parents had inexplicably disappeared, it was a heaven-sent opportunity to seize the house.
Because Old Jia had just received news that Si Jiu City would soon register households and solve the housing problem for the common people.
Houses previously rented by the people, as long as they had no original owner, could be applied for permanent residency.
If they seized Liu Cheng's family's house, it would then belong to their Jia Family family.
So she instigated Yi Zhonghai to orchestrate this whole scheme.
"The nation has just been founded, and Si Jiu City is full of lurking spies. If your parents weren't spies, why would they abandon their own son? They must have gone to cause destruction and were shot by our soldiers."
Liu Cheng was furious.
"Bah, from ancient times to now, judging criminals requires evidence. All of this is your speculation. Without evidence, you are slandering. Do you believe I'll sue you for defamation?"
Jia Zhangshi hadn't expected the usually dull Liu Cheng to be so sharp-tongued today, and what he said made sense. Jia Zhangshi, unable to tolerate it, was about to rush forward and hit Liu Cheng.
The cunning Yi Zhonghai, however, saw that this matter was becoming difficult to handle. If they resorted to hitting him again, there would be suspicion of obtaining a confession through torture.
Liu Cheng, a cerebral palsy patient, his family property could be obtained through cunning.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled Jia Zhangshi back, constantly winking at her, and then said to Liu Cheng with a stern face, "Liu Cheng, don't quibble. Actually, proving whether your parents are enemy agents is very simple. We just need to send you to the Military Control Office for an investigation, and it will be clear. We are only doing this out of neighborly sentiment, not wanting to go to extremes, which is why we are giving you this chance to repent and start anew."
"Ding, conditions met, 'Listen to Advice System' activated."
"By taking others' advice, you can gain benefits."
"Received Yi Zhonghai's suggestion to go to the Military Control Office to inquire about your parents' situation. Reward: Intelligence +5, Strength +3. If you bring a family photo, you can find out your parents' whereabouts, and there will be unexpected gains."
System?
Liu Cheng's eyes lit up.
With his years of experience reading novels, he instantly grasped the essence of the system.
He immediately nodded and said, "First Grandpa is right. This matter should be investigated thoroughly at the Military Control Office, so I won't always be slandered."
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was stunned.
Going to the Military Control Office was just a tactic Yi Zhonghai used to intimidate Liu Cheng.
Because the nation had just been founded, enemy agents were rampant domestically, often causing destruction. So, once an enemy agent was caught, they were basically publicly tried and publicly executed.
Many people had witnessed the execution of enemy agents.
Last time, Liu Cheng also went to watch the excitement, but he was so scared that he fainted on the spot, and it was Yi Zhonghai who carried him back.
Yi Zhonghai knew this was Liu Cheng's weakness, so he deliberately said that, confident that Liu Cheng wouldn't dare to go.
Who knew Liu Cheng would actually agree!
Damn it, he's not playing by the rules!
No, he couldn't actually go to the Military Control Office.
Yi Zhonghai was not as brainless as Jia Zhangshi.
Because the claim of being an enemy agent was something they had fabricated.
First Grandpa was First Grandpa; with a thought, he already had an idea.
