"Brother, let go of your hand first." Gu Changan stepped forward and patted Xia Weian's shoulder.

Xia Weian let go of the inspector and stood up.

"Weian, why is it you?" Gu Changan was stunned when he saw that it was Xia Weian who hit him. He knew Xia Weian's temper...

This inspector must have gone too far to make Xia Weian take action against him.

Gu Changan's expression turned even colder. He looked at the inspector and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The inspector climbed up from the ground using his hands and knees. "Leader, their village's grain is already Grade Two, but they insisted I get Grade One. I refused, so this comrade attacked me."

As the inspector spoke, he felt quite aggrieved.

Xia Weian was so angry that he laughed.

Gu Changan certainly didn't believe that Xia Weian could do such a thing, "Weian, tell me."

Xia Weian was about to speak...

The inspector finally realized that Gu Changan knew the man who beat him, and immediately spoke cautiously, "What's the matter, Chief? You know him, so you're going to help him without knowing the truth?"

The inspector is the brother-in-law of the director of the grain warehouse. He has always been arrogant and fearless.

"Let me tell you, my brother-in-law is the director."

Gu Changan looked at the granary director beside him, who was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes, and sneered, "I really can't believe that Director Zhang, your brother-in-law is quite capable."

Director Zhang went up and slapped the inspector in the face. "Shut up! Farmers are here to deliver grain. Where is your service attitude?"

"Who told you to yell at the peasant brothers?"

"This is your fault."

The inspector was stunned and was about to yell at Director Zhang in anger.

Xia Weian strode forward and said, "Director Gu, Director Zhang, I'm reporting this inspector for openly accepting bribes. The money is in his pocket."

Gu Changan's driver also stepped forward and said, "Director Gu, I saw it too, and I took photos as evidence."

Gu Changan narrowed his eyes slightly and signaled the two comrades following behind him to open the inspector's pockets.

The inspector naturally refused to do so and tried to run away, but he was no match for so many people and was pinned to the ground. Three bundles of money were taken out of his pocket.

The two village chiefs and Wang Yousheng who had just bribed were all pale. The three of them stammered for a long time, not knowing how to explain.

"Excellent, very good! An inspector serving the people actually accepted bribes and had his rank determined based on money. If I don't deal with you today, I'd be letting down the farmers who work so hard on the land!"

Gu Changan directly asked his driver to find the comrades from the county public security bureau and bring them back to the county for processing, avoiding the commune's sphere of influence, so that they could not use their connections even if they wanted to.

Wang Yousheng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he could hardly stand. He looked at Xia Weian tremblingly.

Xia Weian said, "Director Gu, no one wants to give gifts, but if we don't, the grain will be rated lower. Our village and the two sister villages, as well as the sister villages that gave gifts before, are all forced to do so."

"We've worked so hard all year just to get a good price for our crops..." Wang Yousheng mustered up the courage to speak, his voice tinged with tears. "Life is not easy for villagers. Life is so difficult."

"We finally made some money this year, and we spent it all on gifts so we could have a good year."

Wang Yousheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The other two village chiefs couldn't help but echo, "We do the same. If we hadn't given him any gifts, our grain would have been rated level two or three. Our grain is actually level one. Leader, you can recheck it."

"That man is Director Zhang's brother-in-law. He's always arrogant and comes to our village from time to time, asking for this and that. We can't do anything about it. Our lifeline is in his hands."

Gu Changan's expression grew colder as he listened. "Captains, I will arrange for people to verify each of your statements. You don't have to worry about being implicated. You were all forced to do this, so you don't have to take responsibility. However, your food will need to be re-inspected."

When they heard that they were fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, re-inspection, we support re-inspection."

Many people gathered around.

Gu Changan stood on the nearest tractor and said, "Brothers, I am the director of the Municipal Grain Depot, my name is Gu Changan. What happened today, I will first do a self-examination. When I return, I will submit a 3,000-word self-reflection and reflect deeply."

"Secondly, I assure you that this year's and future grain collection efforts will be conducted truthfully and honestly. There will be no more corruption or bribery. If you encounter any such cases, please report them!"

"I will thoroughly investigate the inspector's case today, and the final results will be posted at the entrance of the grain depot. Everyone is welcome to supervise."

"For the next grain harvest, I will supervise the inspectors throughout the entire process until the inspectors urgently dispatched by the city arrive. Please trust me."

Everyone listened to Gu Changan's words, and the team leader and accountant who had suffered losses in the past few years couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Wang Yousheng and Zhang Aiguo are two of them.

Someone in the crowd shouted, "We believe in Director Gu!"

"Trust Director Gu!"

The crowd was excited.

Gu Changan was also deeply moved. He bowed solemnly to everyone and said, "Now, please line up in an orderly manner."

Gu Changan got off the tractor and glanced at Director Zhang. "Have someone call the other inspectors over and divide the team into two teams, the left and right. The inspectors will operate right in front of me."

"Yes, Director Gu, I'll arrange it right away." Director Zhang kept wiping the sweat from his head.

"Director Zhang, just arrange someone to do it, you just stay here with me." Gu Changan said calmly.

Director Zhang swallowed nervously.

Xia Weian looked at Gu Changan with satisfaction. His elder brother Gu was really awesome!

Gu Changan nodded to Xia Weian and motioned him to line up.

Soon, the team split into two groups.

The other two inspectors also rushed over.

They also take money, but not as exaggerated as Director Zhang's brother-in-law Li Dazhuang.

Now that they knew Li Dazhuang had been arrested, their legs were shaking with nervousness, especially when they saw Gu Changan standing there with a gloomy face, they almost couldn't hold the tools steadily.

Gu Changan saw that the two were guilty and said coldly, "Work hard."

"Yes, Director Gu."

The two of them responded quickly and immediately got to work.

The grain from the two villages ahead was immediately re-inspected and was indeed of level one quality.

Qingshan Village is also level one as expected.

Wang Yousheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go in and deliver the food first." Gu Chang'an said to Xia Weian.

Xia Weian nodded and handed his kettle to Gu Changan before leaving. "It's hot."

"Yeah." Gu Changan took it. He was indeed thirsty. He couldn't stand drinking cold water that day, so he didn't bother to be polite with Xia Weian...
