Golden City is located at the northernmost tip of Zhaoyun Province, at the junction of the northeastern plains and mountains.
Although the name of Golden City sounds domineering, it is just a small county with backward economy.
Locally, there have been two theories about the origin of Golden City. The most common one is that it echoes the Yellow Turban Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that after the Yellow Turban uprising failed, Zhang Jiao's descendants led the remaining troops to flee to the city established here. Therefore, the original meaning of gold is "yellow scarf".
However, in the eyes of experts and scholars, this statement is completely nonsense. Because according to their research, the earliest founding history of Golden City cannot surpass the Ming Dynasty, so it cannot be related to the Yellow Turban Army at all.
Therefore, the second theory about the origin of this city seems more reliable.
I don’t know who planted a large number of yellow chrysanthemums on the hillside north of Golden City. Every year at the end of summer, those chrysanthemums bloom all over the mountains and fields, like gold all over the ground.
Therefore, the Golden City got its name from this.
To this day, those yellow chrysanthemums still bloom on time, attracting a large number of tourists to enjoy the chrysanthemums here every year.
However, no matter which version is used, the so-called Golden City has nothing to do with real gold. And on the contrary, due to the barren land and inconvenient transportation, the local economy has always been at the bottom of the province.
It is for this reason that two years ago, Golden City was classified as a county directly under the central government, with provincial units directly leading planning in order to find a new way out for local development.
Due to its northerly location, winter in Golden City often comes early, and in the depths of winter, it is often filled with heavy snow and freezing temperatures.
However, the locals have long been accustomed to this kind of climate. The cold weather cannot stop their hurried footsteps. After the sun rises every day, people are living their lives step by step.
At 10:15 in the morning, in a residential area in the southern ring of Golden City, a male intermediary was introducing a property to a middle-aged couple.
"Come with me! The third floor is a good floor!" The agent led the two of them upstairs and introduced them vigorously, "There is no one else with that apartment type! The unit room is very large and there is no public stall. Cars can be parked wherever you like. Even the basement has a suite. Moreover, the most suitable thing is that the house is still a rough house. You can decorate it however you want in the future! Here... here... "
As they talked, they had arrived on the third floor. The agent hurriedly took out the key that had been prepared and inserted it into the keyhole. However, he tried several times in succession, but the key could not be inserted.
"What are you doing?" He looked up at the floor and house number, frowned and said, "That's right? Why can't you get in..."
While he was talking to himself, he reached out and pulled the security door. Unexpectedly, with a pull, the door opened by itself...
"I'll go!" The agent was greatly surprised and hurriedly opened the door.
"Huh?" The man looking at the house pointed at the door and said, "The lock is broken and has been broken!"
"No way?" The agent frowned, "Who is so wrong? This is a rough house, why are you breaking the door? Are you stealing the wall coverings?"
"Eh..." The woman pinched her nose and said, "It stinks!"
"It's true!" The agent seemed to have understood something and hurriedly cursed, "Damn it, isn't it some second-rate guy setting up shop here?"
After saying that, he took a step and rushed in...
Smelling the stench that hit them, the couple looked at each other and obviously lost interest in the house.
"Otherwise... let's forget it..." The man stuck his head in and said, "Xiao Liu, let's find another one! Don't waste time..."
Unexpectedly, before the man finished speaking, the agent suddenly ran out in panic. Not only did his face turn white, but his chest heaved violently. As soon as he ran to the corridor, he couldn't help but vomited wildly.
"What's wrong?" The man seemed to realize that something was wrong, and rushed into the house to check where the agent had been.
As a result, he just glanced into the inner room, couldn't help shouting, and sat down on the ground.
But from the floor of the back room, there was a highly decomposed dead man lying on the floor! ! !
…
"Sneeze!" Zhao Yu sneezed hugely inexplicably, startling the teammates and passengers next to him.
At this moment, Zhao Yu and his group of six people had reversed from the high-speed rail to a green train bound for the Golden City from the provincial capital of Zhaoyun.
Due to highway closures and icy roads, taking a train was their only way to reach the Golden City.
However, the train only ran once a day, and the train was already overcrowded. Although they had booked tickets in advance, they still had no seats and could only squeeze in the carriage.
There are people all around, and the whole carriage smells of human flesh...
"Team leader, we are at the level of the Central Criminal Department after all..." Ran Tao said helplessly, "How about... I go to the train conductor to discuss it, let's go to their staff lounge, I'm almost out of breath!"
"Oh, Brother Tao!" Zeng Ke said, "Let's just make do with it, we'll be here in less than two hours!"
"How about I go to the dining car to have a look..." Cui Lizhu suggested, "Team leader, um... eh? Don't... don't, don't, don't... "
Unexpectedly, before Cui Lizhu finished speaking, she was extremely shocked to see Zhao Yu grab the collar of a man who had a seat and actually carried the man aside.
"Come, dear..." Next, he wiped the seat with his sleeve and said to Miao Ying ambiguously, "Just stay here for a while, and I will find you a better seat later!"
"Hey! Zhao Yu! Are you right?" Miao Ying looked at the seat that Zhao Yu had savagely vacated and gave him a fierce look.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Yu slapped his forehead, quickly clasped his hands towards Miao Ying, and said like a Buddha, "Forgot, forgot! I am an upright person now!"
Having said this, he quickly turned around and carried the young man back to his seat. The young man is so bored that he is still dizzy and has no idea what happened just now
"Hmm... ahem..." Zhao Yu said to Ran Tao and Cui Lizhu seriously, "Ran Tao, Xiao Cui, you are so superior to others! Although we are all high-ranking officials, we can't be special. ! What about looking for the conductor or getting on the dining car? We have to be upright people, understand? We have to go among the people, make friends with them, love them, care for them... "
Listening to Zhao Yu's pretentiousness and tone, Ran Tao and others all pulled their hair with their fingers, feeling like they were going crazy.
Miao Ying also had goosebumps all over the floor and wanted to kick Zhao Yu away!
"Brother!" At this time, on the other side of them, a stooped old woman was begging a man for something, "You are occupying my seat! Look, this is me votes!”
"What are you talking about?" The man was tall and tall, with a tattoo of the word "forbearance" on the back of his neck. This person took the old lady's ticket, glanced at it, and said impatiently, "What are you talking nonsense about? Yours is the fake one!"
"You... you can't bully others!" the old lady said in embarrassment, "I'm so old, so I bought a seat with a seat! How could you take my seat?"
"Don't stop here. Who took your seat? Did you know you were deceived?" The man had no intention of giving up his seat and remained as steady as a mountain.
"Then... then let's ask the conductor to review it!" the old lady said, trembling all over, "take out your ticket first and take a look!"
"Are you bothered?" The man pointed at the old lady's nose angrily and said, "I told you, you are lying! Why are you... Hey... Hey hey, who is it? Hello... "
Before the man could finish speaking, Zhao Yu grabbed his neck and lifted him up from his seat, muttering: "Brother, we must be upright people! How can you talk to an old man?" Why is Auntie so rude?"
"I...I'll fuck you...ah..."
The man wanted to scold Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu hit him with his forehead, knocking him upside down. Then, amidst everyone's exclamations, Zhao Yu lifted the man above his head with both arms, then rushed him forward and stuffed him directly into the luggage rack!
"Hmph! You have to force me!" Zhao Yu clapped her hands without blushing and shook her head and said, "Is it so difficult to be an upright person? That... old aunt... "
Zhao Yu turned around and wanted to comfort the old aunt, but he suddenly saw that Zeng Ke was holding the old aunt's ticket and said: "Auntie, that person is right, your ticket is really fake. Yes! You have been deceived by a liar!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's face suddenly turned black. He tugged Ran Tao like a kid who had made a mistake in a hurry, and whispered: "Brother Tao, what did you just say? Which car is the conductor in? Let's go find it." Bar… "
I'd rather...
