At dawn, the day began in Gongjia Village. Seeing that the weather was good, the educated youth went into the mountains together to prepare New Year's goods. Among them, several unfamiliar faces entered the mountains from behind the village.
Because the village helps human traffickers hide, it does not pursue strangers from outside. Some people even try to curry favor with strangers when they meet them.
The three team members looked at each other and went into the mountains with stern faces. The villagers did not dare to follow them. They all had a murderous aura and were more cruel than the human traffickers before.
As agreed, the team members walked towards the hunting house after entering the mountains. On the way, they met several male educated youth from the village, all of whom looked dejected.
When they were sent to work in Gongjia Village, they not only did not have enough to eat, but were also bullied by the villagers. They did not farm, but there was food everywhere.
The educated youth became the ones who grew crops, and the villagers took food, vegetables and other things from them.
Some educated youth discovered problems and wanted to report to the commune's pigeon committee, but they found that the people in the committee were not very good.
Some of them were waiting to go home to visit their families and file a complaint with the pigeon committee back home.
Unexpectedly, the village chief of Gongjia Village was very strict with the letters of introduction. After the educated youth came, no one had ever seen the village official seal. Even if they had any bad intentions, they could not leave the county.
The longest-serving educated youth in Gongjia Village stayed there was six years. At that time, there was also a female educated youth. If it weren't for the good family background of the female educated youth, when someone in the village targeted her, her family would have transferred her back.
The disguised team members arrived and after strolling around outside and finding that no one was following them, they entered the hunting house.
Su Jin was strolling on the platform with Hanhan. When the little guy saw a stranger coming in, his alert eyes made the team members laugh.
"Hanhan, these are dad's comrades-in-arms, you have to call them uncles." Su Jin looked at a few people dressed like educated youth coming over, and the team members smiled and called her sister-in-law.
"Wife, these people are stationed in the village. They have only been here for less than 10 days. Their complexion has deteriorated and they have lost weight." Lu Shiyi picked up Hanhan and turned to Su Jin and said, "Did you bring the map?"
"Captain Lu, we've got them all." The team member handed the map in his pocket to Lu Shiyi, "Captain Gong, you'd better come and take a look."
Gong Changzheng took the map and looked carefully at the layout of each village. He found that the threshing grounds of two villages had been moved.
"Captain Lu, these two threshing grounds are wrong." Gong Changzheng took the pen from the team member and circled the three granaries in the threshing grounds. "I remember there are granaries on the threshing grounds, and there are also granaries underground in these three places."
After listening to Gong Changzheng, the team members realized that their investigation was not careful enough.
"From what we've gathered, the villagers haven't been farming. Instead, the educated youth are doing the farming. The villagers get to share the money at home. The brigades are very xenophobic, and the educated youth haven't been able to go back to visit their families since they arrived." The team member described the situation inside the educated youth compound. "Before, the unfamiliar educated youth who came in had unpleasant faces, and they wouldn't say much. But after we went there, they often came to talk to us."
"Let's talk in the hall." Lu Shiyi saw that Hanhan's little face was red from the cold, and immediately asked everyone to go in.
Zong Li and Wang Yuan heated up the wall heater in the hall. After Hanhan went in, he took off his cotton coat and walked back and forth in his walker.
"Captain Gong, please tell us more about these three underground granaries!" Lin Zitao felt that there was definitely something wrong with these three places.
According to the information gathered by several people, the underground granary should be where people are imprisoned.
"We were all staying at the Youth Farm, and in the middle of the night we heard a carriage passing outside. They must be trying to get someone into the cellar." The team members tried to recall what had happened over the past few days. "Captain, if there's someone in the cellar, and we rescue them, there's probably going to be another commotion."
"I just received a telegram. The matter has been resolved this time. It will be handled by the local police station. The female police officer will comfort them." Lu Shiyi was so happy when he received the telegram.
Although Su Jin can comfort people, some people rely on others after being rescued.
"Are we still going to start clearing at 3:30 AM?" Gong Changzheng asked. "The Second Battalion also needs to conduct an inspection."
"Well, the four teams will move together tonight," Lu Shiyi said, "After rescuing the people, they will all gather at the threshing grounds of each village."
"Captain Lu, we need your sister-in-law to take the pulses of those who have been rescued." Su Jin's medical skills were recognized by the higher-ups, so Lu Shiyi and Lin Zitao brought Su Jin here. "If there are any who need medical treatment, give the list to the police and they will arrange for them to be hospitalized directly."
Lu Shiyi's two teams were temporarily transferred here, so after cooperating with the local police, the team members prepared to leave.
At 3 a.m., Gong Changzheng led the two teams into the village from different paths. Lu Shiyi slept in the house holding Su Jin. He knew in his heart that this time everything was completely clear.
Except for Shangou Village, all other villages have been cleared, and this should be the last one.
The people from several brigades in Gongjia Village rarely go out, and even the educated youth can only wander around the small piece of land in the county town, so no one can spread the news.
If Gong Changzheng had not come back this time and discovered the problem in the village, he would have arranged for someone to tear off the button.
"Captain Gong, Lao Ke sent someone to deliver a message. There are people in several cellars, including girls and children. There are probably nearly 30 people." The team member said hurriedly.
Gong Changzheng was having someone check the team's secret granary when he discovered that the Second Battalion had also been involved in the corruption.
He walked out of this brigade, and he was glad that Lu Shiyi had cut off his relationship with his family in advance, because his family treated him very badly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his family was out to suck his blood.
After more than ten years of enlistment, he only came back on the day when they severed ties, and never came back for the rest of the time. Both sides' communications teams have archived his records, and they basically ask for money.
"Remember the location of the entrance to the underground cellar. In 20 minutes, the police will secretly enter the village. I need to avoid suspicion!" Gong Changzheng told the team members, "I left this village. Even if Lu Bu and Political Commissar Lin allow me to participate in the operation, I have no choice but to withdraw in order to avoid causing trouble for everyone."
Gong Changzheng assigned tasks to the team members and stood there waiting for everyone to go down the mountain.
He was standing behind the woods near the foot of the mountain. When he heard the sound of the police car, a smile appeared on his face.
"It's like karma works!" Gong Changzheng looked up from the dead branches at the sky. "Grandpa, you're right. The village is getting worse and worse."
Grandpa Gong once warned Gong Changzheng that after leaving the village, he should not have too much contact with the villagers. Grandpa Gong found that the villagers had ambitions but no brains.
