Besides, he didn't come to seek revenge today. How could he do big things if he was too stingy?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng laughed heartily: \"Good! Little brother is not only skilled but also so broad-minded. Let’s go inside and sit down and talk slowly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo followed Second Master Cheng into the hall, and both sides sat down as guests and hosts. Brother Heizi and Zhao Zhao Yuanchao stood consciously behind Cao Cao Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second Master Cheng, to tell you the truth, I came here this time to visit you, an old senior, and second, to shamelessly ask for a favor for Brother Heizi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Cao Cao Weiguo sat down, he didn't have too much small talk and directly stated the purpose of his trip. At the same time, Brother Heizi took out a red cloth package from his briefcase and walked toward Second Master Cheng carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second Master, your things have already been sold. I know I made a big mistake. Here is the money for buying things and all my family property. Please raise your hand high, forgive me once with your great stature. In the future, as long as there is a place for the little one, you can order it, and the little one will go through fire and water without any words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Brother Heizi respectfully held the red cloth package in front of Second Master Cheng, bending his waist, and sweat kept dripping from his forehead. The beautiful words were also a set.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You sold the things, who did you sell them to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After listening to Brother Heizi’s words, Second Master Cheng’s face was extremely ugly, and his eyes wished he could swallow Brother Heizi alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That Nine Dragon Cup was a family heirloom left by his ancestors, representing the glory and honor of his ancestors. Even if the Great Qing had died, as long as the things were still there, he could hold up the Nine Dragon Cup and show off, telling people how great his ancestors were, that his Cheng family’s ancestors were rich, and that the blood of the Manchu nobles flowed in his veins...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now the family heirloom was actually sold!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The treasure bestowed by Emperor Kangxi was gone?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How could he show off to others in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Brother Heizi said with a panicked face: \"Second Master, I really didn't know it was your family heirloom. I thought it was just an ordinary antique. After I stole it, I sold it on the black market. I don't know the person who bought it. The little one had eyes but didn't see, the little one knew he was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo looked at Second Master Cheng’s appearance of wanting to eat people and said with a smile: \"Old senior, this Brother Heizi made a mistake and should be punished. However, to say something unpleasant, the times are different now. Although the Nine Dragon Cup is your family heirloom, at the moment, the Nine Dragon Cup is a real feudal dross, and it is also an object of the emperor of the old society. Staying in your hands is always a hidden danger. Now that the Nine Dragon Cup is lost, for you, it may be a blessing in disguise. You know the current situation, old senior, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Second Master Cheng’s old face was gloomy, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes red, sometimes white, very much like the face-changing in Sichuan opera. After a long time, Second Master Cheng sighed: \"Forget it, forget it, it’s my luck to get it, it’s my fate to lose it, sigh, the general trend is hard to reverse, I accept my fate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A strong man stepped forward with a cold face and took away the red cloth package that Brother Heizi was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: \"Old senior has a broad mind, and the junior admires it from the bottom of his heart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Brother Heizi kowtowed repeatedly with great excitement: \"Thank you, Second Master! Thank you, Second Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng waved his hand with a straight face: \"Little brother, I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I won't keep you for dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Cao Cao Weiguo got up and said goodbye sensibly, and Brother Heizi and Zhao Zhao Yuanchao followed him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fangshan Changyang\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the room that returned to tranquility again, Second Master Cheng’s face was as gloomy as water, and the air seemed to become solidified and cold. Even the strong men who were as strong as cows dared not breathe loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After the man who led the way for Cao Cao Weiguo’s group returned, Second Master Cheng asked with a gloomy face: \"Are they all gone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The man wiped his forehead with lingering fear: \"Gone, all gone, it’s too scary, more than ten people from the Workers' Correction Team, and they all seem to have things around their waists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qi Yong shouted with indignation: \"Second Master, are we just going to let Brother Heizi go? He lost your family heirloom. If we don't chop off one of his hands, I feel suffocated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng said with a cold face: \"Do you think I don't want to teach that dog a lesson?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qi Yong: \"Then why did you let him go so lightly? Just because of that guy surnamed Cao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng said in a deep voice: \"You guessed right, it’s because of that guy surnamed Cao. This is not an ordinary young man, I have to give him this face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason why Brother Heizi’s matter was turned over so lightly was mainly because Cao Cao Weiguo’s fist was hard enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This hard fist was not only because Cao Cao Weiguo was skilled, but also because there were more than a dozen Workers' Correction Team members outside who might have things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So what if he was a descendant of Manchu nobles?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Great Qing died!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now it is a new country!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now it is a socialist country of people’s democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the worker-peasant alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The people are the masters. Even if you are a Manchu noble, even if you are Emperor Kangxi reborn, you have to be a human being honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He returned from the Northeast. What kind of place is the Northeast? It is the \"industrial cradle\" of New China. The power of the working class made him have no place to live, so he had to abandon his family and business and sneak to the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He already had a shadow in his heart about the Workers' Correction Team. As soon as he heard that the Workers' Correction Team was coming, his first reaction was to run, and the scene of him being educated would uncontrollably appear in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason why he didn't run and stayed here to give Cao Cao Weiguo’s group a warning was just because he had someone behind him, wanting to test the depth of these people, and also to fight for face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he didn't show it, didn't set up a posture, and let Brother Heizi go lightly, how would he mix in the world in the future? Who would look at him straight in the future?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Great Qing had died, and 80% of the property left by his ancestors was gone, and he had become a stray dog. If he lost his face again, he would really have no capital to settle down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because of this, he set up a posture and indulged Qi Yong to teach Cao Cao Weiguo a lesson, but after the incident, Brother Heizi’s matter had to be turned over, and the face of those Workers' Correction Team members outside could not be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just unexpected that Cao Cao Weiguo was so skilled that he actually knocked Qi Yong to the ground, which made Second Master Cheng have to pay more attention to Cao Cao Weiguo.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fortunately, although Cao Cao Weiguo was young, he was not arrogant or aggressive, and he had always called him senior, which was giving him enough face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He opened the red cloth package with a gloomy face, and inside were six small yellow fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Six small yellow fish, whether placed in the past or at present, were a considerable amount of property.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in Second Master Cheng’s eyes, these six small yellow fish were more like a shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Think of how glorious he was back then. Looking at the entire three northeastern provinces, even Zuoshandiao and Xu Zhang Dama Bang had to be polite to him, and the young marshal back then had to call him uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now he is old, and the times have changed. A group of workers and mud-legged people dared to rush into his house, smash his pot, drop his bowl, grab his collar, slap his big mouth, and teach him lessons from time to time... The family business accumulated by generations was gone, the disciples were scattered, and the forces he fought for were gone. The tigers and flies he worked hard to feed were also beaten to death... He could only flee in the Northeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After going through all kinds of hardships to reach the capital, he spent a lot of money to get involved with several \"relatives,\" and finally had a place to stay. Before he could catch his breath, the family heirloom left by his ancestors was taken away by a little brat. The famous Second Master Cheng became a laughingstock. How could he, who was already gray-faced, endure it?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, reality slapped him hard again, forcing him to admit that the Great Qing died and the times changed. No matter if you are a Eight Banners child, a Manchu noble, or an Iron-Cap King... under the red flag, if you are a dragon, you have to coil, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down, otherwise, the worker brothers will teach you how to be a human being.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Second Master! Second Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I found out! I found out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just when Second Master Cheng was full of suffocation and depression, a man ran in sweating profusely, panting and saying urgently: \"Second Master! That! That Cao Cao Weiguo is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Red Star Rolling Mill, and also the person in charge of the Workers' Correction Team, the logistics director in charge of logistics, and he has extensive friends and is in close contact with many high-level leaders... Director Sun asked me to tell you that Wu Wu Chuanzong was caught by him. This Cao Cao Weiguo, try not to offend him if you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qi Yong was shocked: \"What! How old is he? How can he be a director? Same level as Director Sun!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Director Sun was Second Master Cheng’s \"distant relative,\" but in fact, they were just both Manchus, and they got connected through a real relative. Second Master Cheng used \"sincerity\" to move this \"distant relative,\" and he had a big tree to shelter from the wind and rain in the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So in Qi Yong’s eyes, Director Sun was already a great figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, hearing that Cao Cao Weiguo, who was young and looked like he was only in his twenties, was actually at the same level as Director Sun, the shock and jealousy in his heart could be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng was also full of shock at this time. He had already tried his best to look at Cao Cao Weiguo, but in the end, he still underestimated this young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He knew the Red Star Rolling Mill. That was an important unit with tens of thousands of workers. The administrative level of this unit was very high. The factory director was at the department level, and the logistics director was at the division level. Placed in the three northeastern provinces, that was the same level as a county magistrate, and this was the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The administrative level might not be very important, but what made Second Master Cheng care more was the position of deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nowadays, the Revolutionary Committee implements a unified method, which is an organization that grabs everything, making the Workers' Correction Team, which he fears like a tiger and has nightmares about every day, also subject to the leadership of the Revolutionary Committee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng said with lingering fear: \"No wonder, no wonder there are people from the Workers' Correction Team outside, no wonder that Cao Cao Weiguo is so fearless, no wonder he is so calm when treating me. I finally understand the sentence he said, a blessing in disguise. Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't hold on to it, otherwise, he would probably use the Nine Dragon Cup to clean me up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Master Cheng, who was old, was full of cold sweat, and his heart was beating thump, thump, thump, which was really too dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What Nine Dragon Cup!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What is that thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Nine Dragon Cup bestowed by Emperor Kangxi is a treasure, but it is also a feudal dross, and it is the top dross left by the emperor of the dross, which must be overthrown.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Workers' Correction Team!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nine Dragon Cup!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dross!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s too scary!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he didn't give face, that guy surnamed Cao would probably take him out to take a class.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Forget it! Forget it!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What family heirloom, let it be lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>I am old and don't want to take classes anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Even if it is a foreign language, I have no interest now.\u003C\u002Fp>",2269,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1384be97c8cacd0a29449d19e89b7a47ca5c0ccd37cd39d4a1c475c78923b86c","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-783","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-781",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
