Wow, it turns out Wang Shouxin can speak softly.
Wang Shouxin had yelled at him as soon as they met before, and he would never forget the look of contempt he showed him.
He has never had the chance to overthrow Wang Shouxin for so many years. Now that there is someone around him who can deal with Wang Shouxin, he is overjoyed. How could he betray his own people just because of a few nice words and join the group of evil Wang Shouxin who enjoys enslaving the people?
He understood from the other party's words that he didn't know that he had successfully completed the customs declaration.
The other party probably thought he was on his way to declare customs, but didn't expect that he had actually already declared customs and returned.
"Good brother, get up quickly! You ride my horse back. My son and I ride on the same horse."
As Wang Shouxin was about to reach out and pull him up, Cui Fangzheng pushed him away without hesitation.
He didn't hide the disgust in his eyes at all.
"Don't touch me, don't pull me, I don't have a good relationship with you."
Cui Fangzheng is really shameless.
If it were any other time, he would have slapped Cui Fangzheng if he dared to speak to him like that.
But in order to continue to sit in the position of village head and for the sake of the entire family, even if he is unwilling, he can only pretend to be a grandson.
Once this matter is properly resolved, he will settle accounts with them one by one.
He will not let go of anyone who has participated in this incident and has taken advantage of his misfortune.
Wang Shouxin gritted his teeth, forced a smile, and spoke in a good-tempered manner.
"Brother Cui, please don't say such angry words. We've worked together for so many years. Even if we're not from the same village, we always have meetings together. Even if our relationship is not good, it's better than others, right? We are all from the same class, unlike those criminals who have their freedom restricted, don't you think?"
Cui Fangzheng hates the word "criminal" the most.
Having been the village head for so many years, he knew very well what was happening to those exiled people.
It’s not that there are no bad people, it’s just that the proportion of bad people is very small.
The previous laws often exiled three or nine clans, and most of those exiled to Ningguta were innocent people who were implicated by their relatives.
They worked diligently here and lived a life without seeing the sun day after day, which seemed very pitiful to him.
The most terrifying thing is that most of them also encountered village heads like Wang Shouxin, who were arrogant and did not treat people as human beings.
The word "criminal" cannot represent the people living in Ningguta. He prefers to call them common people.
Hearing these words, Cui Fangzheng glared at him.
"What criminals? Don't talk about them like that. Most of them are good people. Don't you know that?"
"Good people?" Wang Shouxin said sarcastically, then shook his head, seemingly helpless. "Okay, okay, if you say they are good people, then they are good people, okay? I admit that there are good people among them, but it's their bad luck. As long as they come to this place, they are criminals. But I won't argue with you. I'll give in to you today."
Wang Shouxin paused. He could see that Cui Fangzheng was a little stubborn. It seemed that sweet words were useless, so he prepared to use his second trick - bribery.
He said with a smile on his face.
"Brother, just listen to me this time and don't go to the county to declare customs. Just tell me what you want. This time, I beg you. Just tell me whether you want food, farmland, or silver. As long as you ask, anything is fine."
After Wang Shouxin finished speaking, he confidently waited for Cui Fangzheng to state the conditions.
There is no one in this world who does not love money.
He had met many people like Cui Fangzheng. No matter how noble and unreasonable they appeared in front of outsiders, their eyes would still light up when they saw money in private.
We are all ordinary people, and it is normal to like money. He just doesn't believe that Cui Fangzheng is not tempted.
"You want to bribe me?"
Cui Fangzheng sneered and asked with disgust in his eyes.
My face turned pale, but he quickly adjusted his expression and continued talking with a smile.
"Don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by bribery? We have a good relationship and help each other. As a friend, you helped me, so isn't it normal for me to give you a small gift? Right? So don't feel any psychological pressure. Just tell me what you want. This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and me, and no one else will know. I will also appreciate your kindness in the future. When there is a chance, I will help you put in a good word with the higher-ups. Maybe if there is any good thing in the future, your Fengtou Village will also get a share..."
Wang Shouxin wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Cui Fangzheng in a bad mood.
"Okay, stop talking!"
Wang Shouxin was too confident and did not hear the annoyance in Cui Fangzheng's tone. Instead, he asked anxiously with a look of joy on his face.
"Brother, you agreed, didn't you? I knew it would be like this. I'm a man of my words. Just tell me what you want."
Cui Fangzheng hated Wang Shouxin the most for forming cliques and suppressing village heads like him who were wholeheartedly concerned about the people.
Ever since he took office, he has been suppressed and isolated by Wang Shouxin and his group.
I've hated it for a long time.
There was no way he would go along with them no matter what.
He stood up from the ground, flicked his sleeves and said righteously.
"You're wrong. I don't want anything. People who do wrong should be punished. They found me and asked me to report it to the authorities. I can't keep it to myself."
Cui Fangzheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and spoke again in a resolute tone.
"It's no use begging me about this. I won't agree to it. Don't bother with me anymore."
"What? You just don't agree?"
Wang Shouxin blurted out with a look of surprise on his face.
