"How could that be possible? I just said that. Even if you give me 100, I wouldn't do it. What I meant was that Xu looked down on me!"

He wants the horse to run but doesn't feed it enough. Who gives him the face?

Not to mention, they all live in the same village, with dozens of relatives, and every family is related in a roundabout way. If anyone can't resist the temptation and betrays the secretary, the whole family will have no time to stay in these villages. Otherwise, if people find out, they will be drowned by spit.

If the benefits given can help a family change their lives, escape from farming, and get away from this small piece of land, maybe...

Unfortunately, if officials cannot provide enough benefits, don’t blame no one for cooperating.

After questioning everyone one by one, perhaps because they did not achieve the expected results, the investigation team did not waste any more time and went directly to the quarry to understand the situation before they finished questioning everyone.

The gentlemen, who had a rare rest time because they didn't have to work, either held their pipes, or carried bags of melon seeds, or boxes of snacks, and occupied the area under the big elm tree where their wives used to brag and gossip. They gathered in groups of three or four, discussing their recent prowess at the same time.

Lu's Courtyard

After making an appointment with Qiao Xiaobei to go to the county tomorrow, after sending him away, Lu Yaowanru was the only one left in the yard.

Lu Yao boiled some water for Wanru, and after she finished washing her hair, he stuffed her with a melon that had just been picked from the field, pulled her to sit on a chair in the yard, and gently dried her with a towel.

He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, enjoying his attentive service, with a smile on his face all the time.

"Were you scared just now?"

"No, I didn't do anything wrong, how can he arrest me?"

It was as if he was biting a melon, and he said it with a proud look on his face.

"Yes, my little girl is awesome! I'll give you a big chicken drumstick tonight as a reward, okay?"

She nodded happily: "Okay!"

The chicken legs that Lu Yao mentioned are the signature dish of a time-honored braised meat shop in the county. After the public-private partnership, they were all managed by the state-owned restaurant and a separate window was opened in the state-owned restaurant.

It’s as if the roast chicken I’m going to eat tomorrow is from theirs.

“As if!”

"kindness?"

"These members of the investigation team don't look like normal leaders. If I'm not mistaken, they may have the same goal as the tomb robbers we encountered in the mountains last time. If they don't achieve their goal, they will probably not leave the village in the short term."

"Those people will do anything to achieve their goals. It will probably take a few days before they can find no evidence of the old captain's dereliction of duty, and they will find another legitimate reason to go into the mountains. Also, the map in the hands of that group of people last time ended up in my hands. Although the matter was done covertly, there is no such thing as a foolproof plan. For safety, after you come back with Qiao Zhiqing tomorrow, you should stay at home obediently and try to go out as little as possible."

Although the picture is just a rubbing, God knows whether those people will do anything to keep it for themselves...

Moreover, he was not only ruthless to the tomb robbers, but also to those who came into the mountain later. He asked them everything he wanted to know and did not let any of them go down the mountain...

"Oh! Then I'd better not go tomorrow!"

I've already eaten a chicken leg yesterday, so it doesn't matter whether I eat roast chicken tomorrow.

"It's okay. I have to go to the transport team tomorrow, so I can take you there."

"Are you going out again?"

"No, send Lao Chu back and ask for leave at the same time!"

"Is it bad to always ask for leave?"

"Don't worry, we have Old Chu. He married Du Zhiqing. Even if she is a half-Sikanzi, as long as the reason is legitimate, there will be no problem!"

Just after paying courteous tribute to his partner, he was about to return to the Lu family's courtyard to spend the night, and the half-pulled (a quarter of a quarter) Chu Qianguan of the Sikanzi people...
