Joan returned home, looking depressed.

He wandered around the village for more than two hours without any results.

Whenever Qiao An mentioned the names Li Meng and Li Tiezhu, the villagers would hurriedly avoid the topic.

It's as if mentioning these two names will bring disaster upon oneself, so one should avoid them as much as possible.

It is not difficult to see that Li Tiezhu and his son have committed many evil deeds and have planted the seeds of fear in the hearts of the villagers.

Looking at Joan's dejected look, you can tell without asking that things are not going well.

Li Lin comforted him, "Don't worry, let the bullet fly for a while!"

Qiao An began to feel suspicious. As night was approaching and no one had taken the initiative to submit a letter of complaint, how could he be so confident?

"Brother, this tactic of luring the snake out of its hole is useless. It must be that old guy Li Tiezhu came to threaten everyone, so no one dared to report it." Qiao An said listlessly.

At this time, Qiao An's mother came in from the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.

"Xiao An, it's a great blessing that you can get out of the police station."

"You two don't know that in the past, no one who was arrested by cousin Li Meng ever came out intact."

"Either he becomes a dull idiot soon after coming out, or he becomes a dog of the Li family..."

"You are lucky to be able to come out with only minor injuries! Don't even think about bringing down the Li family."

"If you don't bring him down, he will take revenge on our family. Our life will be over. We will live in fear all day long and our life will be worse than death..."

"Stop working and eat some noodles."

Li Ling said with a sigh.

She didn't want to vent her anger, she just wanted to live a peaceful life in Li Village.

Don’t the villagers think the same?

Joan helplessly took out a stack of "testimonies" from his arms and placed them on the coffee table, then picked up a bowl of noodles and started eating.

Just at this moment, a light cough was heard in the yard, and a smiling voice called out, "Is anyone there? I'm here to visit..."

Li Ling shuddered when she heard the voice. She was very familiar with this voice - it was the village party secretary Li Tiezhu.

"It's over! They came to my house so soon, Qiao An, hide quickly, hide quickly..."

Li Ling urged nervously.

Qiao An was a fearless and stubborn person. She threw the bowl in her hand onto the coffee table and said angrily, "Why should I hide? If anyone should hide, it should be Li Tiezhu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tiezhu walked in.

"Oh, are you all at home? Where's Qiao An's dad? Why isn't he here?" Li Tiezhu smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he disguised himself very well.

"Secretary Li, you're here? His father has been away from work for a few days and won't be back until soon. Please take a seat... Have you eaten?" Li Ling was relieved to see that Li Tiezhu came alone.

She is still frightened by the scene this morning where a group of people beat and smashed things in his house.

"I've eaten, you guys continue eating, I'll just walk around, don't worry about me, hehe..." Li Tiezhu laughed, with the kind tone of a village elder.

When his eyes fell on Li Lin, the smile on his face paused for a moment, then he continued to smile, "Xiao Lin? Do you still recognize me? I'm your uncle Tiezhu. I heard that you've become the deputy township head now? The young are really formidable!"

Li Lin smiled calmly. This old guy has only had a few more wrinkles on his face over the years, but his tone of voice and that sinister look have not changed at all, which is disgusting!

He didn't want to exchange pleasantries, but in order to find out Li Tiezhu's intention, he smiled and responded, "Remember! I didn't expect that you have been the village party secretary for thirty years. It shows that Secretary Li has a high prestige in the village!"

Li Village was originally called Li Village because 80% of the people in the village had the surname Li.

People with the surname Li are divided into two branches, one is the native locals, and the other is the outsiders.

As the leader of the local Li family, Li Tiezhu has been suppressing outsiders overtly and covertly over the years to ensure that his local Li family has absolute say in Li Village.

Therefore, among the cadres of the two committees in the village, more than half are from his local Li family.

Every time the two committees meet, it's like a family meeting. As long as he makes the decision, the matter is settled.

If any of the cadres of the two committees dared to express different opinions, someone would invite him to drink that night... and if he got drunk, he would be severely beaten up!

In addition to these, there are even more despicable means. Anyone who dares to compete with him for the position of village leader during the change of term will be punished.

The next morning, there would be several dead chickens and dogs in the yard of that person...

Ordinary people would be terrified if they encountered such a thing! Even if they knew who did it, they would not dare to call the police.

Over time, who would dare to compete with him?

Li Tiezhu has relied on these dirty tricks to remain firmly in his position as the top leader of Li Village.

At this time, Li Tiezhu laughed shamelessly and said, "Hahaha, it's all because of the villagers who think I've done a good job in the past few years that they have been recommending me to sit in this position."

Fraud, rape, coercion, humiliation... I don't know how many families the Li father and son have brought disaster to in the village over the years!

And you still have the nerve to say you did a good job? Fucking shameless!

Li Lin put away his smile and asked in a cold voice, "What's the matter with Secretary Li?"

The smile on Li Tiezhu's face gradually faded, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes. He said, "Xiao Lin, can you please spare Li Meng's matter and let him go this time? Your uncle is begging you, okay?"

Li Lin smiled, looked at him coldly and said, "Let him go? Ask the people of Li Village if they agree!"

Li Tiezhu's face instantly darkened, and he snorted coldly, "I don't need to ask, I can guarantee that no one in Li Village dares to say a word against my Li family!"
