Golden City was located at the northernmost part of Zhaoyun Province, at the junction of the northeast plains and the mountains.
Although the name of Golden City sounded domineering, it was just a small county with a backward economy.
There were two theories regarding the origin of Golden City. The most common theory was that it echoed the Yellow Turban Army during the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was said that after the failure of the Yellow Turban Army's uprising, Zhang Jiao's descendants led the remaining troops to escape to this city and build it. Therefore, the original meaning of gold was "yellow cloth".
However, in the eyes of experts and scholars, such a statement was pure nonsense. According to their research, the earliest history of the City of Golden was not before the Ming Dynasty, so it was impossible for it to have anything to do with the Yellow Turban Army.
Therefore, the second theory about the origin of the city was more reliable.
No one knew who had planted a large number of yellow chrysanthemums on the northern slopes of Golden City. Every year at the end of summer, the chrysanthemums would bloom all over the mountains and plains, resembling a field of gold.
That was how Golden City got its name.
To this day, the yellow chrysanthemums would still bloom on time, attracting a large number of tourists every year.
However, no matter what, the so-called Golden City had nothing to do with real gold. On the contrary, due to the barren land and inconvenient transportation, the local economy had always been at the bottom of the province.
It was precisely because of this that Golden City was designated as a directly administered county two years ago. The planning was directly led by the provincial government, all for the sake of finding a new path that was suitable for the local development.
Due to its location in the north, winter often came earlier in the Golden City, and when it was really deep in winter, it would often be covered in heavy snow.
However, the locals had long been accustomed to this climate. The cold weather did not stop their hurried footsteps. Every day, after the sun rose, people were living their own lives step by step.
At 10: 15 am, in a residential area in the South Ring of the Golden City, a male agent was introducing a middle-aged couple to a house.
"Come with me! The third floor is a good floor! "The agent led the two of them up the stairs as he tried his best to introduce it to them." There's no one else with that floor plan! The unit was huge, and there were no public stalls. Cars could be parked anywhere, and there was even a suite in the basement. Moreover, the most suitable thing is that the house is unfinished. You can decorate it however you want in the future! We're … here we are … "
As they spoke, they arrived at the third floor. The agent hurriedly took out the key he had prepared and inserted it into the keyhole. However, he tried a few times, but the key could not be inserted.
"What's going on?" He looked up at the floor and the house number, frowned, and said, "It's right? Why can't I insert it … "
While he was talking to himself, he reached out to pull the security door. Unexpectedly, the door opened on its own.
"I'll go!" The agent was surprised and hurriedly opened the door.
"Hey?" The man pointed at the door and said, "The lock is broken. It has been broken!"
"It can't be?" The agent frowned. "Who the f * ck is so crazy? This was an unfinished house. What was the point of prying open the door? Are you trying to steal the wallpaper? "
"Hey …" The woman pinched her nose and said, "It stinks!"
"It's true!" The middleman seemed to have realized something and hurriedly cursed, "F * ck, don't tell me some loafer has set up a nest here?"
With that, he stepped forward and dashed in …
Smelling the stench, the couple looked at each other. It was obvious that they had lost interest in the house.
"How about … Forget it …" The man poked his head into the house and said, "Liu, let's go to another house! Don't waste our time … "
Before the man finished speaking, the middleman suddenly ran out in panic. Not only was his face pale, but his chest was also heaving violently. As soon as he ran to the corridor, he couldn't help but vomit.
"What's wrong?" The man seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he rushed into the house and went to the place where the middleman had just been.
As soon as he took a look at the inner room, he couldn't help but scream and sit on the ground.
On the floor of the inner room, there was a highly decomposed — dead person!!!
…
"Achoo!" Zhao Yu sneezed inexplicably, which scared his teammates and the passengers next to him.
At that moment, Zhao Yu's group of six had boarded a green train from Zhaoyun Province to the Golden City.
Because the highway was closed and the road was frozen, taking the train was the only way to get to the Golden City.
However, the train only ran once a day, so the train was already overcrowded. Although they had booked tickets in advance, there were still no seats, so they could only squeeze in the carriage.
There were people all around, and the whole carriage was filled with the smell of human flesh.
"Team Leader, we are from the Central Criminal Division …" Ran Tao said helplessly. "How about … I go to the conductor and discuss it. Let's go to the staff lounge. I'm out of breath!"
"Oh, Tao!" Zeng Ke said. "Let's make do with it. We'll be there in less than two hours!"
"How about I go to the dining car …" Cui Lizhu suggested. "Team Leader, um … Hey? Don't … Don't … "
Before Cui Lizhu could finish her sentence, she was shocked to see Zhao Yu grab the neck of a man who had a seat and pull him to the side.
"Come on, dear …" Then, he wiped the seat with his sleeve and said to Miao Ying, "You can stay here for a while. I'll find you a better seat later!"
"Hey! Zhao Yu! Are you kidding me? "Miao Ying looked at the seat that Zhao Yu had vacated and glared at him fiercely.
"Oh … I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Yu slapped his forehead and quickly put his palms together. He then said to Miao Ying, "I forgot, I forgot! I'm an upright person now! "
After saying that, he quickly turned around and pulled the young man back to his seat. The young man was really stuffy. He was still dizzy and didn't understand what had just happened.
"Um … Ahem …" Zhao Yu said to Ran Tao and Cui Lizhu seriously, "Ran Tao, Xiao Cui, you can't be so arrogant! Although we are all high-ranking officials, we can't be special! We don't have to look for the conductor or go to the dining car. We have to be upright people, understand? We have to walk among the people, be friends with them, love them, and care for them … "
Listening to Zhao Yu's pretentious words, Ran Tao and the others all pulled their hair with their fingers. They felt like they were going to go crazy.
Miao Ying had goosebumps all over her body. She really wanted to kick Zhao Yu!
"Big brother!" At this time, on the other side of them, a hunchbacked old lady was begging a man for something. "You're taking my seat! Look, this is my ticket! "
"What are you talking about?" The man was tall and strong, and he had a tattoo of the word "endure" on the back of his neck. The man took the old woman's ticket, glanced at it, and said impatiently, "What are you talking about? Yours is the fake one! "
"You … You can't bully me!" The old woman said awkwardly. "I'm so old, so I bought a seat! How could you take my seat? "
"Don't go on. Who took your seat? You were cheated, you know? "The man had no intention of giving up his seat. He was still as steady as a mountain.
"Then … Let's go and find the conductor!" The old woman said, trembling. "Show me your ticket first!"
The man pointed at the old woman's nose and said angrily, "I told you, you are a fake! How could you … Hey, hey, hey, who is it? Hey … "
Before the man could finish, Zhao Yu had already grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up from his seat. He was still mumbling, "Brother, we have to be honest people! How could you be so rude to an old woman? "
"I … What the f * ck … Ah …"
The man wanted to yell at Zhao Yu, but Zhao Yu knocked his forehead against his face, which made the man feel dizzy. Then, amid the exclamations of the crowd, Zhao Yu lifted the man over his head with both arms, then pushed his head forward and stuffed it directly into the luggage rack!
"Humph! Why did you force me? " Zhao Yu clapped his hands, then shook his head and said, "Is it so difficult to be an honest person? Um … Old woman … "
Zhao Yu turned around and wanted to comfort the old woman, but he suddenly saw Zeng Ke holding the old woman's ticket and saying, "Auntie, that man was right. Your ticket is really fake! You were fooled by a liar! "
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's face turned black. He quickly pulled Ran Tao like a child who had made a mistake, then whispered, "Bro Tao, what did you just say? Which carriage is the conductor in? Let's go and find her … "
