Master Jin now wants to kill Zhang Xiaosan, this good-for-nothing who's more trouble than he's worth, on the spot, so he won't cause him any more trouble in the future!
Who do you think you are, going to mess with Minister Li's people? It's like an old man hanging himself, tired of living!
Besides, if you've already provoked them, why don't you at least clean up your mess?
After provoking people, he didn't even bother to clean up his mess, parading around with his filth all over the place, and then people would come to his door to berate him. How could he have taken on such a lackey? He must have been blind!
However, Master Jin still had his pride, so he downplayed the matter.
"Minister Li, he's just one of my men. Is it really worth you coming to my house to make a scene over such a trivial matter that he didn't even see clearly?"
Minister Li punched Master Jin in the face, straightened his shirt, and solemnly introduced him:
"Sister-in-law Bai, your family has five men: your brother-in-law, your husband, and two sons. They all sacrificed their lives for the country. Such people deserve respect and admiration. Why are your people searching the house left behind by your brother-in-law?"
"What gave your men the audacity to search the martyr's house? What are you trying to do? To frame the martyr for a reactionary crime?"
"You've really done something unprecedented and unparalleled. Don't think you can just let it go by saying you didn't see it clearly!"
"Let's go find Secretary Guo right now and reason with him. If Secretary Guo can't give Sister Bai justice, then I'll go to the provincial governor's office and knock on his door. If the province can't give her justice, then I'll go to Beijing and kneel before the Heavenly Gate. I refuse to believe that there's no place to seek justice!"
After saying that, Minister Li didn't argue with Master Jin anymore and walked out!
Only then did Master Jin realize who Zhang Xiaosan had offended!
If Zhang Xiaosan doesn't know about the Bai family, it's because he's just a nobody!
Master Jin knew about the Bai family; they had five martyrs in one family. There were very few like them, not to mention in An County, even in the city!
The honor that they earned by sacrificing their entire family is not something an ordinary person can afford to offend.
Instead of attacking the Bai family, that worthless bastard would be better off attacking Minister Li's house!
If he goes to Minister Li's house, he'll only get a few words of criticism and lectures from Secretary Guo, and he can take the opportunity to complain to the city!
If he attacks the Bai family, let alone the city, he'd have to go to the province or even Beijing. That would be crazy of him. If we don't strip him of everything, he'll have to pay off his entire fortune and bleed money!
This guy is a real jinx! He not only lost all the good stuff that he had been saving up for years, but also kept it all to himself.
Now he's lost his wife, his army, and all the wealth he's accumulated over the years has to be given away...
Master Jin turned around and glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaosan.
Jin Wuye caught up with Minister Li and, contrary to his usual behavior, apologized to him profusely:
"Uncle Li, we've been working together for a long time, we see each other all the time. This is my fault, please give me a chance to make amends!"
"From now on, Uncle Li will be my uncle. If there's anything Uncle Li can't do himself, I'll do it for him!"
Since becoming the leader of the Red Armband gang, Master Jin has never spoken to anyone in such a humble manner!
Now that he's under someone else's roof, he has no choice but to bow his head. As long as Minister Li lets him off the hook, he'd grit his teeth and accept it even if it meant kowtowing to Grandma Bai today!
Minister Li wasn't buying Jin Wuye's act at all; he snorted coldly:
"My Li family would never produce a disloyal, unfilial, and unjust scoundrel like you! Don't you dare smear my Li family ancestors!"
“I, Li Zhongguo, am upright and honest. I have no need for your favors, nor do I have anything shameful to do that requires your help!”
His former comrades and brothers' families were humiliated like this. If Lao Li were to take advantage of this to gain something, would he still be a human being?
If he doesn't seek justice for his brothers' families, how will he face his comrades-in-arms in the afterlife?
He said he witnessed the founding of the new China and its prosperity. He, a cowherd from a landlord's family, had become successful, serving as the Minister of the Armed Forces, and was able to learn to read newspapers and serve the people!
When his friends asked him how he provided the service, what did he say?
To say he only served his own family? He didn't take good care of his brother's family.
Then what kind of name is Li Zhongguo? He should be called Li Waste or Li Trash!
Minister Li helped Grandma Bai into the jeep, and without giving Master Jin another glance, drove off!
Enraged, Master Jin kicked the door twice, then stormed over to Zhang Xiaosan, who was cowering in the corner, his face as black as soot, and said:
"Now you're playing dumb? What were you thinking all along? Tell me what happened, or maybe you shouldn't say anything at all?"
When Zhang Xiaosan heard Master Jin tell him to "stop talking," he fearfully touched his neck and honestly confessed:
"Fifth Master, this really isn't my fault. If a family has a martyr, wouldn't the plaque be placed in the most conspicuous place at the entrance?"
“Five members of her family were martyrs, but there wasn’t a single plaque on her house. How was I supposed to know she was a family member of martyrs?”
"The location was also mentioned by that bitch Bai Yueyao. She said there were two more educated youths, Li Jing and Yang Xiaohong, to be arrested, so I went!"
"Who knew that these two female educated youths were actually living in the home of a martyr's family? That's how I fell into their trap!"
Hearing that it was these two female educated youths, and recalling what Minister Li had just said, Jin Wuye felt a glimmer of hope and said:
"What about your books? Did you put them in the room of those two female educated youths?"
Zhang Xiaosan shook his head and said:
"I hadn't even stepped inside when that old lady from the Bai family stopped me at the door. With all those military medals and certificates, how could I dare to go in!"
Master Jin was so angry he nearly fell over. He kicked Zhang Xiaosan twice and said hatefully:
"You idiot, at this critical moment, what do you care about being a martyr's family member? Just pretend to be stupid and put the things in, then search the house and find the things out, so I can exonerate you!"
"The items were found in the room where the two educated youths lived. They insisted that they were afraid the room where the martyr lived would be defiled by bad elements. Even if we didn't do anything, we wouldn't be in such a passive position!"
Zhang Xiaosan, completely bewildered by the insults, offered a suggestion:
"Then I'll lead this group of people back again and put the things back in!"
Jin Wuye's vision went black, and he pinched his philtrum, saying:
"Get out of my sight! Get out of my sight right now! Disappear, disappear forever!"
Everyone knows it's a family of martyrs, and it's already blown up so much. Minister Li has already made things clear, and he still tries to frame them. Does he think things aren't ugly enough?
Is this guy his underling? Or an undercover agent sent by Minister Li?
It's true that a clever person's thousand thoughts are no match for a fool's quick wit!
