Chapter 42 Chapter 42 (Update 1) Uh, a vein of affection? ...
The leader, Cheng Jin, nodded slightly at them and then gave an order, "Gu Gaofei, you take three people to stay and comfort them, and send them out of the mountain safely. The others follow me to continue the search."
"yes!"
There was a unified response, and many soldiers scattered in all directions.
Gu Gaofei squatted down and untied Zhou Guangfa's waist rope, while comforting him, "Everything is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the frightened people nearby finally spoke up.
"I was so scared, I thought they were going to shoot me!"
"Comrades, you must punish bad people severely."
"That bastard Huang Guoyao, I called him brother, but he actually pointed a gun at us..."
As they spoke, they all began to sob.
This night was really thrilling.
This is the first time I’ve encountered something like this in all my years. Who can bear it?
The Ma Jihai brothers also kept shouting, "It has nothing to do with us. We really didn't steal the pork. We have nothing to do with those bad guys. Comrades, you must not wrongly accuse good people."
"Yes, yes, yes. We found the pork and only wanted to return it to the slaughterhouse. We never thought of keeping it for ourselves. If you hadn't come, we would have sent it to the slaughterhouse by now..."
The two brothers, one protested their injustice while the other said they were helping, and they all said they wanted to send the pork to the slaughterhouse in exchange for rewards and had absolutely no intention of keeping it for themselves.
Zhou Guangfa, who was still lying on the ground, curled his lips.
Anyone who believes this is a fool.
But there was no way to refute it. These two fools definitely had nothing to do with the group of gunmen just now, and the pork was definitely not stolen from the slaughterhouse by them.
As to whether they embezzled the money or sent it back to the slaughterhouse, this cannot be confirmed, and it is impossible to convict them.
Zhou Guangfa ignored them and asked the man in front of him, "Comrade, what crime did they commit? There were gold bars hidden in the pork?"
No matter how dark the night was, they could see the gold bars clearly.
I was too panicked to care about it before, but now when I think about it, I can't help but gasp. I thought it was just a case worth thousands of dollars, but so many gold bars were packed in several sacks, it must be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, right?
"What did you do? A big thing." Gu Gaofei didn't explain in detail, nor could he explain in detail. They had been pursuing the case for so long and finally caught some ringleaders and the stolen goods. How could they tell ordinary people about this?
He and his comrades untied the belts tied around them and gave them their pants. When they had almost released their sexual desire, he asked them, "How did you find out about this place?"
They had already tracked down Baldy and the others, but they had not taken any action. Even if they arrested them directly, there was no evidence to prove their crimes, so they had been secretly watching their every move.
It was also this afternoon that Baldy and his men suddenly picked up their weapons and equipment and headed for this hilltop. They followed them all the way, but kept a distance from them for fear of disturbing them.
When they caught up, Baldy had already had his men tie up Zhou Guangfa and a dozen others to avoid accidentally hurting the hostages. They waited until Baldy and his men left before launching their ambush.
The question now is, how did Zhou Guangfa and his people know that they could find pork here?
"It's Jiang Qing. We followed her all the way here..." Zhou Guang suddenly turned his head to look at the Ma Jihai brothers. He stared at them with wide eyes, "Where's Jiang Qing? Didn't she follow you into the mountains? Why haven't we seen her?"
They had not paid any attention to this person before, but now they thought about it, they had not seen Jiang Qing from beginning to end.
Where did she go?
When Zhou Guangfa asked them further, the two brothers' faces changed instantly. Ma Jihai was okay, as he could always control his expression and cover it up.
But Majihu couldn't hold himself together and was shaking with panic. It was obvious what was going on.
Gu Gaofei frowned slightly and said in a stern voice: "Tell me the truth, where is Jiang Qing? If anything happens to her, none of you can escape!"
"No, no, no, we didn't hurt her!"
"She's fine, nothing's wrong with her!"
The two Ma brothers really didn't dare to kill anyone themselves. Even if they had greedy thoughts, they didn't have the courage to actually kill a living person.
But just because I don't dare to do it myself doesn't mean I haven't thought about it.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Jin and others searched all the way to the ruined temple in the mountains, and found Jiang Qing tied up in the cellar of the ruined temple.
Leaving a person tied up and gagged in a cellar, isn't that just leaving her to die?
This is a barren mountain area, and no one would come here to worship Buddha except occasionally.
If Zhou Guangfa and others had not gone up the mountain, if Baldy and others had not taken action, Jiang Qing, who was left here, would have had only two outcomes.
Either you starve to death or suffocate to death.
Or wait for the bald guy to send someone to check if there is anything wrong with the gold bars here, and then kill them directly after they are discovered.
The two Ma brothers did not kill anyone, but they did not want Jiang Qing to continue living.
Jiang Qing, who was abandoned here, also understood this. With her mouth blocked, she could not cry out for help except for whimpering.
She never imagined that she would end up like this.
Before they were happy for even a minute after opening the cellar and finding the pork, the Ma brothers revealed their ferocious faces. They didn't even give Jiang Qing a chance to speak. One of them picked up a wooden stick and hit her hard on the head.
The severe pain caused her to fall into a coma. When she regained consciousness, she was tied up and thrown into a corner of the cellar. Apart from struggling desperately, she could only watch them carry the bacon up one by one.
She wanted to shout for help and beg them, telling them that she didn't want a penny and just asked them to let her go.
But his mouth was tightly blocked and he couldn't say anything.
I could only watch them move the bacon and leave without looking back.
Jiang Qing was really desperate.
She never imagined that she would end up in such a situation.
She has not done anything in her new life, and her dream of becoming a rich wife has not even come true. Is she going to die in such a miserable way?
If I had known...
If she had known earlier, she would not have thought about it. She really didn't want to die like this after finally getting the chance to live again.
If she is given another chance, she will definitely...
Before she could decide what to do, she suddenly heard a voice from above her head, "Deputy Captain, there's a hostage here!"
…
Ma Jian received a notice from the Public Security Bureau the next morning saying that his two younger brothers had been arrested.
When I went there, I was dazed and felt extremely uneasy.
I wasn't worried about what had happened to the Ma Jihai brothers, but whether they would implicate me.
It was really not easy for him to come out of the countryside.
Especially since his family didn't give him any help at all, and even ridiculed him, thinking that he was daydreaming and it would be better for him to continue working in the fields.
When he finally managed to break out, the people in the house changed their expressions in an instant. The sarcasm turned into weirdness. His mother oppressed him with filial piety, and his brothers and sisters turned into blood-sucking worms, wishing to take everything in his house.
He repeatedly advised himself and his wife to just wait until his mother passed away.
It's understandable that my mother uses filial piety to suppress me, but it's impossible that he will have to support his brothers and sisters at home after my mother dies, right?
That doesn't make sense.
But I didn't know that instead of enduring the hardship, I ended up enduring his own wife.
At that time he felt that he could not wait any longer.
If I wait any longer, I might even die.
When that time really comes, no one in the family will feel sad for him. Some may even happily rush to take over his job and occupy the position he has worked so hard to get.
As for the two children, they would definitely be left alone to fend for themselves.
So, he will definitely not choose a daughter-in-law that his mother is satisfied with.
That will only make his future life more miserable.
During this period, he was glad more than once that he and Li Zhen had a fake marriage.
We have been sleeping in separate beds since we got married. We are husband and wife in name only but not in reality. But it doesn’t matter!
If they are not husband and wife, then they are not husband and wife. How can he tolerate this?
Even when he watched the Li family's nephew beating up the Ma brothers, he could feel an incomparable joy, happier than ever before!
There's no problem in helping Li Zhen raise her child.
He wished he could have more contact with the Li family. He thought that Li Zhen's biological son must be exactly the same as the Li family. If he was raised well, he might be able to help him deal with the Ma family.
Not to mention just one, he wishes he could have two, three, or four!
When the time comes, I will raise him well, and after raising him, he can also protect his children from being bullied by the Ma family.
Anyway, Majian is very satisfied with his life now.
He didn't want to have anything to do with the Ma family at all. If the Public Security Bureau hadn't come to him in person this time, he wouldn't have wanted to go there, for fear that they would implicate him.
"Mr. Ma, why aren't you going to work?" Mrs. Tang in front of him was carrying a basket in one hand. When she saw him, she greeted him warmly.
Without waiting for his response, she started talking, "Do you know who I met in the grove today?"
Majian didn't really want to talk to her.
Mrs. Tang is a gossiper. She likes to talk about everyone's family affairs. She has told outsiders about their family affairs many times in the past.
Anyone who hears him is never called "Ma Gong" but "the stupid guy" or "the wimp" of the Ma family.
But Matian didn't have the courage to cause trouble for her.
The only thing I can do is hide.
He wanted to hide now, "I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you for now..."
"Hey, don't go! I just want to talk to you." Mrs. Tang grabbed his hand and couldn't wait to share gossip, "I saw Xiao Ma and a lesbian in the woods! You two are like brothers, not brothers, but brothers. You lost your wife and he lost his wife too. You just remarried and he is about to remarry too!"
Matian frowned.
Little Pony, Mazi Country.
How could he not know this person?
The lives of the two people are so similar. They both struggled out of the countryside, entered the motor factory at about the same time, got married and had children at about the same time, and both had a daughter first and a son, making them a perfect couple.
Originally, the motor factory liked to compare the two.
Especially after my daughter-in-law passed away, I talked even more.
Ma Jian really didn't like to hear these comparisons, but there was nothing he could do. People always talked about it to him, even the matter of Ma Ziguo's blind date and search for a wife was brought up in front of him.
However, the reason why he chose Jiang Shuangshuang was actually because of Ma Ziguo.
The first person Ma Ziguo fell in love with was Jiang Shuangshuang, but he backed off when he heard that Jiang Shuangshuang had a reputation for being "fierce".
Because the situation in Malaysia's country is different from his family's.
He is more decisive than him. His brothers and sisters in his hometown are all suppressed by him. He doesn't need a "tough" wife to support him at all. He prefers a gentle and soft-hearted lesbian.
"I don't know where he comes from. I hope he doesn't work in the slaughterhouse like your Li Zhen?" Mrs. Tang couldn't stop talking. Ma Jian could only interrupt her helplessly. "Isn't it natural for him to find a wife? Auntie, I really don't have time now, so I won't talk to you any more..."
He pulled her hand away, turned around and ran away in panic.
Mrs. Tang looked at his flustered look and curled her lips, "What a grown man, no wonder everyone says he is not as good as Xiao Ma. I heard that Xiao Ma will be promoted next year. I don't know which lesbian is so lucky to marry him."
Ma Jian ran all the way to the Public Security Bureau and only breathed a sigh of relief after he entered.
But looking at the comrades in uniform in the bureau, he couldn't help but panic again, "Comrade, I am Ma Jihai's brother, how did he, how did they get arrested? What happened?"
In fact, he really wanted to say that no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him.
He really doesn't know his brothers at home at all.
Although they meet from time to time, when they meet they always ask for this or that and never show any concern.
They don't look like family members, but more like creditors coming to collect debts.
"Brother Ma?" Policeman Xiao Fu walked up to him and looked at him seriously. "You are Ma Jian, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's me." Majian nodded nervously. Just when he was about to say that he had done nothing wrong, he was asked by the police to go to another room.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a person who was both surprised and unsurprising. "Why are you here?"
What was surprising was that he didn't expect to see Jiang Qing here.
It's not surprising that it seems like it's not uncommon for him to see Jiang Qing anywhere.
A person who appeared inexplicably in his life.
Sometimes he himself didn't understand how he could be so charming that a lesbian would go through fire and water for him.
At this time, Jiang Qing turned his head away, not wanting to make eye contact with him.
It's really shameless.
She...really didn't know how to face Majian.
"Let's talk about your two brothers first." Officer Xiao Fu didn't know what the relationship was between them, so he directly explained the reason for his visit. "Ma Jihai and Ma Jihu were arrested for attempted murder and are now detained at the police station. The specific verdict will be notified to you later."
"Attempted murder?!" Majian's eyes widened in disbelief, his whole body trembling. "Who did he, they kill?"
He had always known that the two brothers had bad intentions.
But I didn't expect they would dare to kill people!
I felt horrified instantly, and couldn't help but be glad that I didn't resist before, otherwise would I have killed him too?
"This is the victim." Officer Xiao Fu pointed at Jiang Qing standing aside, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Jian, fearing that he would suddenly riot and hurt the victim again. "This is the victim, Comrade Jiang Qing. Comrade Jiang Qing accidentally discovered the location where the stolen pork was hidden in the slaughterhouse, and took the Ma brothers with him. However, the Ma brothers became greedy and wanted to harm Comrade Jiang Qing..."
Yes, no one can tell whether the Ma Jihai brothers sent the pork back to the slaughterhouse or ate it privately, but they tied up Jiang Qing and dumped him in the cellar, which constitutes the crime of attempted murder.
Moreover, this crime is more serious than stealing pigs. I’m afraid I’ll be in trouble for the rest of my life.
Matian did not riot, but was stunned by what he heard.
After several minutes, he asked tremblingly: "How long will the sentence be?"
"Although it was an attempted crime, it is still a serious crime. Your family should be mentally prepared."
Ma Jian took a deep breath and stared at Jiang Qing.
she……
She really...
She is really amazing, isn't she?!
A light gradually appeared in Majian's eyes, as if he was reborn!
He had known Jiang Qing for less than a month, but because of her, his mother was first sent to a farm for forced labor, and there has been no news from her since then. Now his two brothers have been sent to the police station, and it seems that they may not be released for several years or even ten years.
Jiang Qing single-handedly sent away the person he feared and hated the most!
I originally thought that I had provoked a person with a muddle-headed mind, and wondered how I could be so unlucky to have encountered such bad things. Every time I thought of this person, I would get annoyed as to why I had provoked this troublemaker and was always made fun of by others. It was really unlucky.
But he doesn't feel that now.
It is clearly his blessing to know Comrade Jiang Qing!
All the burdens were lifted at once!
Jiang Qing was still a little uneasy, but when she saw Ma Jian's bright eyes, she suddenly paused and tears started to flow.
Before being rescued, she was still thinking in despair that as long as she could survive, she would live a good life and would never think about being the wife of the richest man.
But now...
She "sent" the two Ma Jihai brothers to prison, but Ma Jian did not blame her and looked at her with pity. How could she let go of such a good future richest man? !
Public security officer Xiao Fu, who was standing between the two men, raised his eyebrows. What kind of development was this?
The family members and victims of the attempted murderer not only did not make a fuss, but also seemed somewhat... uh, affectionate?
He didn't know what kind of look Ma Jian had, but he was sure it was Jiang Qing.
This... is really hard to describe.
