Chapter 106 Donghe Song and Song (1) Gift Value Plus
On March 26, Jiang Ningyue and Tian Jun came to Xing County, Donghe City for an interview. The content was very simple, about a road that had been damaged for many years and no one had repaired it.
After arriving at the scene, Jiang Ningyue saw the bumpy road. Although this was just a small county town, the road was too broken. Because of the long-term rolling of large trucks, the height difference of the road was up to 30 centimeters, and passing vehicles had to slow down and detour.
Various bumper fragments can be seen on the road at any time, which shows how serious the situation here is.
Citizens: "It's barely drivable normally, but when it rains, the potholes are filled with water and you can't tell the depth. We often get tire blowouts and bottoming out here."
Jiang Ningyue: "Has no one repaired it?"
Citizens: "No one repaired it! Did you see those bricks? We laid them ourselves."
After the interview, Jiang Ningyue and Tian Jun were about to go to the municipal government department in Donghe City to ask for more information. Suddenly, a young woman stopped Jiang Ningyue.
"Are you Jiang Ningyue, Reporter Jiang?"
Jiang Ningyue looked at the young woman in front of her. She was in her early twenties, and her facial features were still very young. Jiang Ningyue mistakenly thought she was her fan, and nodded at her with a smile.
"Yes, I'm Jiang Ningyue."
After saying that, Jiang Ningyue turned around and prepared to leave, but unexpectedly the girl quickly stopped her, "Reporter Jiang, I don't know who else to turn to now, so I can only turn to you. Please help me."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Ningyue looked at the girl puzzledly.
The girl glanced around, pulled Jiang Ningyue to a less crowded area, and then slowly spoke, "Reporter Jiang, my name is Wang Meng. My family used to sell pork at a stall in the market. Later, when conditions improved, we opened our own shop. About half a month ago, a group of people came to my house, claiming to be a food safety inspector, and asked for a purchase order.
My dad then gave him the purchase order. Unexpectedly, after reading it, he asked my dad why he didn't use pork from Dafu Food Company. My dad told them that he had been purchasing pork from this channel for many years.
Who would have thought they'd rip up my family's purchase order and force my dad to buy pork from Dafu Food Company? My dad got angry and started fighting with them. Then, a dozen people rushed in and broke my dad's hand. My mom was also beaten.
Jiang Ningyue frowned after hearing this. "So arrogant? And then?"
"We called the police, but they told us to wait for further information. As soon as we got back to the store, the group was already there, questioning my dad for daring to call the police. They also threatened to burn down our store if he didn't buy goods from 'Dafu Food Company.' Ultimately, my dad had no choice but to buy 50,000 yuan worth of goods. That's when they stopped harassing me."
As she spoke, Wang Meng shed tears several times, her voice choked, and her emotions repeatedly lost control. Jiang Ningyue handed her tissues several times and soothed her softly before Wang Meng continued.
"I never thought that something like this could happen now."
Wang Meng wiped away her tears and continued, "After that, I exposed this incident online, but it fell on deaf ears and no one paid attention. The police station also didn't respond. I really didn't know who to contact."
"Um."
Jiang Ningyue nodded. "Little sister, I understand your feelings, but do you have any evidence for what you said?"
"have."
Wang Meng took out his phone and pointed to a video in the album. "This is a video from our home surveillance camera. I copied it right after the incident."
As he spoke, Wang Meng opened the video. Jiang Ningyue stared at it for a long time before slowly nodding. Wang Meng's words were not much different from the content of the video, and the credibility was very high.
"Can I go to your store now?"
"My parents were terrified."
Wang Meng said, "They all said they won't look for it anymore and they don't dare to say anything. I guess they don't dare to say it."
"Okay."
Jiang Ningyue turned to look at Tian Jun, "Brother Jun, let's not go back yet. Let's investigate all the butcher shops nearby."
"Um."
Tian Jun nodded. "This kind of thing is not only forced buying and selling, it also involves the underworld organization."
"We're leaving."
Jiang Ningyue waved her hand casually, "Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, I will give you justice."
"Thanks."
Wang Meng covered her mouth and bowed to Jiang Ningyue.
Afterwards, Jiang Ningyue and Tian Jun visited several butcher shops respectively. Because Jiang Ningyue's face was so recognizable, she simply put on the mysterious glasses given to her by the system.
Tian Jun looked at Jiang Ningyue in confusion. He had seen Jiang Ningyue wearing the glasses himself, so the glasses had no effect on him. "Are you pretending?"
"Of course."
Jiang Ningyue smiled and nodded.
"I feel my IQ has been insulted." Tian Jun shook his head and walked away.
Jiang Ningyue first came to a butcher's shop, and the owner greeted her warmly, "What would you like to buy?"
"Auntie, I have a question for you. Do you also use meat from Daifuku?"
The boss's face immediately became a little abnormal when he heard this, and he forced a smile and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"Because our family has also come to our door, asking us to buy meat from this company." Jiang Ningyue forged an identity, trying to get closer, "So I wanted to come out and ask."
"Listen to your aunt's advice."
The boss sighed when he heard this and said, "Buy it. All the shops in our county that open shops outside use their meat."
"What if I don't need it?"
The boss looked at the store entrance and saw that there was no one there. He whispered, "If you don't have to, just beat him up! I heard that a while ago, someone on the street next to him was beaten up."
Jiang Ningyue nodded slightly. The man who was beaten by the boss should be Wang Meng's father. "Auntie, is the meat from Dafu Company good?"
"What's good?"
The boss complained, "Not only is the meat mediocre, it's also expensive! It's three to five yuan more per pound than if we bought it ourselves."
Jiang Ningyue nodded after hearing this, indicating that she understood. "Got it. Thank you, Auntie."
After all, there are only a few people who open butcher shops outside, and most people still sell meat in the vegetable market. So, are they safe in the vegetable market and will not be harassed by this so-called Dafu Food Company?
Jiang Ningyue and Tian Jun went to a nearby vegetable market and asked the meat vendors. The vendors said, "Before, meat was freely available, but starting this year, meat must be sourced from Dafu Company."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "What if you don't go in?"
The shop owner laughed and said, "If you don't go into the market, the management won't let you work. You have to go in. Unless you quit working in the market and open your own shop outside."
Jiang Ningyue suddenly realized that it seemed that this Dafu Food Company had monopolized the pork in the entire Xing County.
So, who exactly is this company?
Jiang Ningyue searched for "Dafu Food Company" and discovered that it had only been established in October 2018. In other words, within just six months of its establishment, the company had used such violent means to monopolize the entire county's pork slaughtering market.
