Chapter 129 I...I have evidence...

Jiang Tang listened and frowned tightly.

Especially the mention of the word "capitalist" several times made Jiang Tang very uncomfortable, as if he was being scolded as well.

White rice porridge holds a special place in the hearts of the simple villagers. After Wang Tiedan and others mentioned it, the situation immediately became tense.

But Chen Taohua still refused to give in.

Chen Taohua shouted, "Fellow villagers, don't be fooled by Wang Tiedan. I delivered the rice for the porridge three days ago. If you don't believe me, go ask around. I delivered ten kilograms of rice three days ago. They already have the rice I sent them, so why would they steal the public grain from the warehouse? Stop fanning the flames."

When the incident three days ago was mentioned, some villagers also remembered it.

"It seems to be true... Three days ago, I saw Chen Taohua arguing with this educated youth and forcing a bag of rice on him."

After hearing this, Wang Tiedan's face turned pale.

He likes strong-willed women like Chen Taohua, but not only has Chen Taohua looked down on him for so many years, she has also been sticking to an educated youth from the countryside with a bad background. I really don’t know what’s so good about that pretty boy!

"Chen Taohua, are you a cheapskate? He doesn't even look down on a stinky pig butcher like you, yet you keep trying to get close to him. Do you have any shame? Ten kilograms of food, you said you would give it, and you gave it to him. Do you know how much that is?"

"Whether I give it to you or not has nothing to do with you, Wang Tiedan. It's my own food, I can give it to whoever I want!" Chen Taohua roared back angrily.

"I think you are just a slut! It would be great if you could follow me, Wang Tiedan. I would let you eat white rice and big chunks of pork every day." Wang Tiedan expressed his dirty thoughts.

"You make me feel sick just by looking at you."

"Chen Taohua, don't be so ungrateful!"

Seeing that Chen Taohua and Wang Tiedan were arguing more and more fiercely and gradually deviating from the topic, the man protected behind Chen Taohua seemed to be groaning in pain, his figure shaking slightly, and it seemed that he could not hold on any longer.

Jiang Tang quickly stepped forward and shouted towards Chen Taohua, "Taohua!"

"Jiang... Jiang Tang!" Chen Taohua was stunned for a moment before she recognized Jiang Tang and asked quickly, "Aren't you in the city? Why are you in our village?"

Jiang Tang was not afraid of the butcher knife in Chen Taohua's hand at all. He walked over and reminded her, "Taohua, don't waste your breath with this kind of person. Let's solve the food problem first."

"Yes! Food!" Chen Taohua slapped her forehead and came to her senses. "The rice porridge incident has been explained. He didn't steal the food from the warehouse. Do you have any other evidence? If you can't produce any evidence, none of you will touch a hair on his head today."

Jiang Tang also said, "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. We live in a new society ruled by law. If you want to convict someone, it's not just a matter of words. The staff from the grain station are here today, so let's get to the bottom of this matter in front of them and investigate thoroughly. Where did the missing 100 kilograms of grain go?"

Jiang Tang is just a young woman, and at first glance she doesn't seem very intimidating, but once she brings up Li Qing and Zhang Chao, the situation changes.

Chen Taohua blinked and looked at Jiang Tang in disbelief, "Jiang Tang, you are really amazing. You can even invite people from the grain station."

Yang Suzhen watched them arguing, her brows already furrowed.

She finally had the chance to speak up. "Where's the village head? Where's the village party secretary? Such a big thing is being handled by you guys, arguing and bickering, without any evidence or investigation? Is this how you do things?"

The village chief and the village party secretary both knew Yang Suzhen. As soon as they recognized Yang Suzhen's identity, they immediately stood up in fear and trepidation.

"Director Yang... Director Yang, why are you here? We're investigating, and we're definitely going to investigate thoroughly..."

Chen Taohua looked at Jiang Tang, then at Yang Suzhen, and could actually see that the village chief and the village party secretary were being very cautious. They were so powerful!

After the village chief talked about the investigation, Jiang Tang noticed a subtle expression on Wang Tiedan's face.

She suddenly remembered a saying: the murderer often returns to the original crime scene, and may even be the first person to call the police.

It seems very likely that the thief is crying thief.

Jiang Tang suddenly turned to Wang Tiedan and asked, "Who are you? A member of the commune? Or the leader of the production team? Why are you here? There's so much grain in the warehouse, how did you tell at a glance that 100 kilograms were missing? Why not 50 kilograms, or 200 kilograms? How did you know?"

Wang Tiedan looked at Jiang Tang's pretty fair face and didn't expect to hear such sharp words from her.

Chen Taohua listened and came to her senses. "That's right... Wang Tiedan, how did you know there was a shortage of grain in the warehouse? You don't usually participate in commune labor. The whole village knows you never work in the fields. Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic about paying the grain tax? Tell me! How did you know there was a hundred kilograms of grain missing?"

Jiang Tang continued, "You know so much about this. Could it be that you stole this hundred kilograms of public grain?"

"It wasn't me! Stop talking nonsense! How could it be possible that I stole the public grain?" Wang Tiedan refused to admit it, and said stubbornly, "I heard it from the clerk - yes, I heard it from the clerk! The people from the grain station came to collect the public grain today, and what's wrong with the clerk registering and checking? A hundred kilograms of grain, any discerning person can see at a glance that there is less, and I did see it! And you still want to slander me for stealing grain, haha, where is the evidence! Weren't you the ones shouting the loudest just now! You said you wanted evidence! Then where is your evidence? Show it out!"

When it comes to evidence, Jiang Tang and Chen Taohua really don't have any.

Jiang Tang said, "You want evidence. Wait until the village chief and the village party secretary investigate, and there will definitely be evidence!"

Wang Tiedan laughed heartily, "Hahahahaha... You're dreaming if you want to find evidence against me, Wang Tiedan! Ahahahahaha, dreaming!"

When everything is at a stalemate.

A soft voice came.

"I...I have evidence..."

Jiang Tang moved her ears and found that the sound came from behind them.

That is the young man who has always been protected by Chen Taohua.

The young man covered the back of his head with his palms. Dark red bloodstains could be seen on the back of his head, some of which were coagulated and some were still slowly flowing out. He must have suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, so he was so weak.

Blood was already flowing down his face, and the man's pale face looked shocking.

The man said with difficulty, "This morning... thieves came in to steal food, and I discovered them... They were outnumbered, and attacked me from behind... But... I managed to grab the thief's trouser leg and pull a piece of cloth off his pants."

As he spoke, the man slowly raised his left hand, and in his palm was a piece of blue cloth that had obviously been torn.
