Siheyuan: I'm a Police Chief, and I Keep the Beasts in Line

After transmigrating to 1960, Lin Shaohua returns to Beijing after leaving the front lines of the campaign to suppress a rebellion in Tibet. A first-class merit recipient, he is assigned to the Public Security Section of the Dongcheng Branch as a section chief, and settles in Courtyard No. 95 on Nanluoguxiang.

As soon as he arrives, he runs into Yi Zhonghai, who thinks he can throw his weight around with seniority; Liu Haizhong, flaunting his authority as the courtyard's second elder; and Yan Bugui, already working out how to get a bargain. Lin lays down the rules on the spot and exposes the courtyard's tricks for settling matters privately, leaving all three elders speechless.

Taking charge of a major grain theft case at the Jiaodaokou grain station, he uses a single shot to cow the black-market thugs, follows the clues to bring down the entire grain theft network, and subdues a troublemaking deputy with his bare hands. His iron-fisted methods leave the whole branch in awe.

With his military honors and formidable skills, he protects his family and secures their place, keeping the worst of the courtyard's residents firmly in line and living with dignity through the famine years.
