Chapter 291 It's Their Turn to Cry
Lu Ping picked up her stick and said, "Of course, we should go to the clan leader's house and give him a good reform."
She smiled and looked at Geng Qiaoju, "Village Chief Geng, don't panic.
I know how difficult it is for you to carry out your work alone in this village, but I promise you that our farmers will not come in vain.
We won’t leave until we get things done. We won’t leave until we convince people.
There are many troublemakers in this village, but we will pull out their thorns or chop off their heads.
When we leave, we will definitely return you a clean Gengjia Village."
Lu Ping looked at the women and said, "Everyone from the Farmers' Association, follow me."
They held torches and walked in the dark mountain village, and the firelight seemed to cut a hole in the darkness.
After a day of criticism, Geng Laosan felt sore in the waist and legs and was very angry.
He didn't dare to confront the people from the Farmers' Association, so he could only vent his anger on Geng Qiaoju's family. He was gritting his teeth and holding a pen as he wrote the notice of expulsion when he suddenly heard a noise outside.
In a blink of an eye, the yard was filled with fire. A wooden stick as thick as a wrist lifted the curtain, revealing Lu Ping's face.
"Hey, Geng Laosan, why are you still awake so late? What are you busy with?"
Geng Laosan was so frightened that his legs went weak and he quickly took away the lampshade and tried to burn the notice.
Lu Ping was quick to act and hit Geng Laosan with a stick. Geng Laosan fell to the ground and burst into tears instantly.
Feng Qi climbed to the top of a tree to watch the excitement. He vaguely saw heads of people from various households in the village sticking out in the darkness. He couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Now the clan leader has been obedient. The whole village can hear his crying."
Luo Jiu wiped his hands and smiled calmly, "It's their turn to cry now."
That night, almost everyone in Gengjia Village who was a rich peasant or above could not sleep at all.
The next morning, early risers were exchanging the latest gossip on the streets.
"Have you heard? Everyone from the Farmers' Association slept in the bed of the clan leader last night."
"What about the patriarch and his wife?"
"Haha, didn't they let the cowherd sleep in the cowshed? The people from the Farmers' Association drove them to the cowshed, saying that they should also have a taste of what it's like to sleep in a cowshed."
There was a burst of laughter at the street corner, and someone asked, "When are the people from the Farmers' Association leaving?"
Someone replied: "Why are you leaving? I heard their director give an order last night, saying that all the landlords and gentry in the village should be arrested and reformed, and the first batch of typical cases should be arrested today."
"Wow, there are so many people here, and they are unfamiliar with the place. Do they know who is the typical one? Who should they arrest?"
"Tsk, how come they didn't know? When the news got out, many people tried to flee overnight. I didn't expect that the people from the Farmers' Association were guarding the entrance to the village and caught all those who were about to flee."
The man was surprised and asked, "They are all caught?"
"Of course, they are waiting for you. I can hear them even though I live at the entrance of the village.
They said that the first one to run away was typical, and that he was guilty as a thief, so he couldn't be wrong.
I think there will be a struggle session and a parade today, it will be quite exciting to watch.”
Luo Jiu listened to the laughter coming from the street corner and stretched himself, "Get up and get to work!"
The four of them just led the construction team to build the school, and left all other matters to the Farmers' Association and Geng Qiaoju.
The work on the construction site was in full swing, and the movement in Gengjia Village and nearby villages was also vigorous.
That day, Luo Jiu estimated that it was dinner time, so he entered the space to take a look, and sure enough, he ran into Fubao and Liuzi who were showing off their fans inside.
Luo Jiu: "Where have you two been?"
Fubao: "We are almost across the Yangtze River. We will probably reach Yixian by tomorrow night."
Liuzi: "Is the situation urgent? If it is, we will not sleep tonight and let Fubao drive the night car so that we can rush over overnight."
Fu Bao sighed, "Why don't you drive at night?"
Liuzi: "I'm already over 30 years old. My heart is pounding after staying up all night. I don't have that much energy. Do you dare to sit in my midnight train?"
"I dare you. I won't die from the fall."
"Then throw me to death?"
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "Come on, stop arguing, neither of you will fall to death.
There is no need to rush. You can take your time on your journey. When you reach the border of Jiangxi Province, do not come to Yi County. Go directly to the headquarters of the 34th Division and keep an eye on the division commander Huang Qu.
If there is any news in Yi County, someone will definitely go find him. You should act according to the situation and find a chance to remove his military power."
The school has already taken shape, but Lu Qingyun and Gu Meng have not sent any news yet. Luo Jiu estimates that Ma Youguang has been entrenched in Yi County for many years, and it is still difficult to find any evidence against him.
So Luo Jiu and Cheng Yaoyao and the others discussed and said, "I think we have to go back to the county town tomorrow, firstly to find out the situation, and secondly to buy some food supplies."
Geng Qiaoju said, "Leave this to me, don't worry. If there's anything, I'll go find Sister Lu."
The next day, the four returned to Yixian County. Standing at the city gate, they found something wrong in the city.
The streets are ridiculously clean, and everyone on the street looks at others askance, like a thief.
The four of them stood in the queue to enter the city. Feng Qi smoothed her fake pigtails and said, "Isn't it exposed? Why does it feel so weird?"
Luo Jiu adjusted his glasses and said, "Don't panic. Maybe it has nothing to do with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Those four women, stop!"
The four of them looked at each other. The person who was questioning them was the head of the local security group. He came up with a notebook and asked, "Identity."
Luo Jiu said: "Student."
"Show me your ID."
"We are from other provinces and we don't have any ID with us."
"Didn't bring it?" The man sneered, "What a coincidence? None of the four of you brought it?"
The head of the security team ordered his men, "Call Secretary Tang here, there are four suspicious persons."
Secretary Tang was busy and was called over by the security guards. He looked over and said, "Who are they? I know them. I have a photographic memory.
Four students, what are you suspicious about?
I'm already busy preparing the welcoming team, why are you calling me here for such a small matter?"
The head of the security team looked embarrassed and said, "They don't look like students to me."
Secretary Tang cursed, "What the hell do you think they look like? What do they look like? Do they look like the president?"
The head of the security team glanced at Feng Qi and said, "I think she looks a bit like..."
"What does it look like? When did Marshal Feng wear two long braids? It's useless and only makes things more chaotic."
Secretary Tang is Feng Youguang's confidant, and the security chief can't afford to offend him, so he can only purse his lips and silently endure the scolding.
Secretary Tang sneered at him and then looked at the four of them.
"You've come just in time. My welcoming team is just short of two student representatives. You, and you, follow me."
Cheng Yaoyao and Zhong Jialing pointed at themselves, then looked at Luo Jiu and asked, "What do you want us to do?"
"We are preparing to welcome President Luo to the city. Don't you know this? A high-ranking official has come to Beijing, and all the counties and towns in the south are preparing. Naturally, Yi County is not willing to lag behind.
Don't worry, County Magistrate Ma is paying for it, and you won't lose anything. We will provide food, lodging, and two meals a day."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "It's a good job, go ahead."
Cheng Yaoyao nodded and patted Zhong Jialing on the back. "Let's go. I haven't met President Luo yet. We can't miss this opportunity to get food and lodging and meet senior officials."
Zhong Jialing chuckled. Secretary Tang asked, "What are you laughing at?"
