Chen Changyuan squatted down and carefully examined the problems with the medicinal materials.
He noticed that the leaves were burnt yellow and had a pungent smell.
“This smell…”
Chen Changyuan frowned and planned to walk up the mountain behind.
There is an irrigation canal between the hillsides.
He dug it specifically for irrigating the medicinal herb fields.
He walked to the ditch and suddenly saw several white bottles of pesticide next to the ditch.
He walked closer and picked up a white medicine bottle, and found that it was labeled with a farm implement store near Qingshui Village. Although half of the label was torn off, it was still partially visible because of the glue mark.
Chen Changyuan was wondering who did it.
But then he heard Lao Yuantou rushing over breathlessly.
"Changyuan, I finally found you!"
Old Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The night before last, I saw Zhou Dazhu sneaking towards this side, carrying something in his hand. It was too dark, and I couldn't see clearly."
Chen Changyuan's eyes lit up: "Uncle Yuantou, when did you see it?"
"It was last night, around nine o'clock. I couldn't sleep that night, so I went out for a walk and happened to see him going up the mountain."
"Can you testify to this, Uncle Yuantou?"
Old Yuan patted his chest and said, "Of course I can! Even though I'm old, my eyes are still sharp enough to recognize that bastard Zhou Dazhu!"
Chen Changyuan picked up the pesticide bottle he had just found and put it into a cloth bag: "Uncle Yuantou, let's go find the village chief. I want to call a village representative meeting!"
"That's right, it's time for everyone to judge for themselves!"
Old Yuan said angrily, "Zhou Dazhu is so shameless that he does such a wicked thing!"
After talking with Lao Yuantou, Chen Changyuan left the medicinal materials base and headed for the village committee.
In the village committee, Wang Fugui was drinking tea in the village chief's office, which he had just bought for fifty cents.
Chen Changyuan suddenly walked in, and Wang Fugui's face suddenly froze.
What is Chen Changyuan doing here?
There won’t be any trouble again, right?
"Village chief, I have something important to say."
Chen Changyuan said in a deep voice.
Wang Fugui put down his teacup and hurriedly stood up. "Hey, Changyuan, if you have something to say, please speak slowly. Don't look so murderous, as if you're here to collect a debt."
"Stop talking nonsense,"
"You should know about the medicinal herb field, right?"
Wang Fugui's expression changed slightly. "Well, I did hear some rumors, but there are a lot of things going on in the village. Changyuan, don't get too excited. We can discuss it if you have something to say."
Chen Changyuan replied coldly, "The medicinal herb fields are our village's source of income. How can you, as the village chief, sit idly by and do nothing? I'm not here today to ask you to protect anyone, but to convene a village representative meeting to thoroughly investigate this matter and find the black sheep!"
Wang Fugui felt a little conflicted.
He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down again, saying softly, "Changyuan, this matter can't simply be described as a minor dispute between young people, right? Perhaps it really is an accident. Besides, you are not without enemies. Someone as capable as you will naturally be jealous of you..."
Old Yuantou couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Wang Fugui! You sound like you're playing dumb! I saw Zhou Dazhu bring things up the mountain in the middle of the night. Isn't this obviously about to destroy the medicinal herb farm? If you don't deal with this now, the villagers will be heartbroken!"
Wang Fugui was speechless for a moment and could only scratch his head: "Okay, okay, okay. I understand what you mean. I will call the village representatives to discuss it now."
Although he agreed readily, his expression revealed a hint of reluctance.
Chen Changyuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this village chief was really stupid. If the old man hadn't been present today, who knows how much more trouble he would have had to waste.
He put down the canvas bag, leaned against the door frame, and watched Wang Fugui use the village loudspeaker to call the villagers' representatives.
Village representatives walked into the village committee compound one after another.
The wooden chair creaked and the figure swayed.
Wang Fugui rubbed his hands and greeted guests with a fawning smile.
His eyes kept glancing towards the door, flickering.
Zhou Chen Changhe dragged his son Zhou Dazhu in.
Zhou Dazhui walked slowly with a frown on his face.
Wang Cuifen followed closely behind, taking small steps.
"What are you doing here? Wasting time."
Zhou Dazhu glanced at Chen Changyuan and curled his lips.
There was disdain in his eyes.
Chen Changyuan took out the pesticide bottle from the cloth bag and tapped the bottle lightly with his fingers.
"Ready to do it again, huh?"
He sneered and shook the bottle. "Look carefully, does this label look familiar?"
Zhou Dazhu's body stiffened.
"Nonsense! Maybe you put it there yourself!"
He shouted with his neck stiffened.
"My son would never do such a thing!"
Wang Cuifen put her hands on her hips and said in a sharp voice, "It's obvious that you are trying to frame someone!"
Lao Yuantou gripped his cane tightly, his arms shaking.
"I saw it with my own eyes! He climbed up the mountain in the dark in the middle of the night, carrying something in his hands!"
“Bullshit!”
Zhou Chen Changhe slapped his thigh and said, "Your old eyes are blurry. How can you see clearly in the dark?"
"Why would I harm you if my son is fine? Who do you think you are?"
Zhou Chen Changhe sneered.
Chen Changyuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone knows how much income the medicinal herb fields bring to the village each year. You're just jealous!"
"You're talking nonsense! I…"
Zhou Dazhu's face turned red.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qinghai strode in with several men in suits.
Wang Fugui's eyes lit up and he immediately put on a smile.
"A few leaders have arrived?"
Zhang Qinghai had a stern face.
"I came here to inspect the medicinal material base, but I didn't expect to encounter this."
