Lian Xiaomin couldn't help but feel nervous as she held the note in her hand. She had a feeling that this matter seemed very serious.
There is no need to turn on the light. Put the carrier pigeon back into the space and quickly find the shotgun and bullet bag in the cabinet.
These were all borrowed from Zhang Wenyong. I took them all, locked the door, and walked quickly towards Zhang's house.
From a distance of several dozen meters, I could see that the gate of the courtyard was open and Zhang Wenyong was smoking at the gate.
The other party also saw her, still holding a shotgun, and was stunned.
Lian Xiaomin gestured for him to find a secluded place to talk, and the two of them went directly to the vegetable garden behind the house. Now it was bare and there was nothing inside, so they stopped to talk.
"Brother Sanyong, I have some urgent matters to attend to. I'm afraid I can't go hunting with you guys tomorrow morning. I'll send you the hunting rifle first."
She thought about the worst-case scenario in her mind and continued, "I'm afraid I'll have to go out and sort out some things. I can't say exactly how many days it will take, but probably about a week at most."
"I've already told my aunt that I'm going to the mountains with you guys to hunt. Now, I'm using this as an excuse. You have to help me cover it up."
Zhang Wenyong nodded directly: "Don't worry, I will do whatever you say. It will take at least a week for the four of us to go into the mountains, and we won't show up after we come back..."
"...We'll go to Huzi's house and take a nap. No one will know about it. We'll wait for you to come back. You can meet up there and we can show up together."
Lian Xiaomin also nodded: "That's what I mean. Today is February 9th. Let's meet at Huzi's house when we get back! Then I'll leave first!"
Zhang Wenyong grabbed her shoulders and asked nervously, "Xiaomin, what happened? Is there any danger? It's very chaotic outside now. Do you want me to follow you?"
Lian Xiaomin raised the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Brother Sanyong, don't worry, although it's a bit troublesome, I will definitely solve it!"
After saying goodbye to Zhang Wenyong, Lian Xiaomin went straight out of the village without stopping, hid in the woods, and slipped into the space.
He took a disguise pill and changed into Lin Zi's appearance. He changed into a black cotton jacket and trousers, put on a cotton hat, and carried a bamboo basket.
This time I took a bicycle, left the space, rode all the way to the commune, and headed straight to Chaodou Hutong.
This alley is the back street of the state-owned hotel, but we soon discovered that today's commune was unusual, with people patrolling with flashlights everywhere on the street.
Lian Xiaomin's heart tightened. When she arrived nearby, she carefully pushed the cart into the alley, checked to see if there was anyone following her, and came to the innermost courtyard and knocked on the door.
After a while, a woman in her fifties came out of the house, saying as she walked: "Why are you here again? We have searched the house before, and you have smashed the yard and the house..."
He quickly opened the door and took a look. He was stunned to see that the people outside were not the same group of people as before, but a young man pushing a bicycle.
"You...are you also from the police station? What else do you want to investigate? My son really hasn't come back. He hasn't been home for a long time..."
Lian Xiaomin looked at the old lady, who was wearing a grey cotton-padded jacket, with messy hair and a look of panic on her face.
She looked into the yard and saw that it was quite a mess, with some things scattered around, as if someone had searched it.
He lowered his voice and said, "Auntie, my name is Linzi, and Xiao Mao asked me to come here."
When the old lady heard this, she took a deep breath nervously, quickly looked outside the courtyard gate, and made sure that there was no one else. She immediately stepped aside and motioned the other person to come in.
Lian Xiaomin parked her bicycle aside and followed her inside, but did not go into the house and went straight to the backyard.
Coming to the foot of the wall, the old lady picked up a stone from the ground and threw it to the other side of the wall. With a "bang", it seemed to hit the door of the house.
Soon the sound of a door opening was heard from the other end, and someone walked out of the house and walked to the courtyard wall.
A woman's voice came: "Mom, what's the matter?"
"I'm here in the forest looking for your brother!"
When the other party heard this, he quickly turned around to call for help. Soon, Xiao Mao's voice came: "Linzi, is that you?"
Lian Xiaomin lowered her voice and replied, "It's me. I came here after receiving the message from the carrier pigeon."
"Wait for me to get the ladder. Come over here to my eldest sister's house."
"No, I'll just flip over."
The wall was only about 1.8 meters high. She took two steps, reached out to grab the top of the wall, flipped over, and landed lightly on the ground with her feet.
"Xiaojun, mother is going back to the house first." The lady on the other end went in.
Little Mao's name is Mao Jun. It turns out that his sister's house is just across the wall.
When he saw Lin Zi at this time, he was extremely excited. He didn't expect the other party to come so quickly. This little carrier pigeon is really useful!
"What happened? Where are the others?" Lian Xiaomin asked.
"Mr. Qian, Shunxi, Shunan, and Xiaosi have been captured. The others are hiding in the cellar."
He motioned to his eldest sister to go to the cellar to call for help, and he grabbed Linzi's arm and hurried into the house, whispering as he walked, "Fortunately, I have released a carrier pigeon at my house, and the other one is at Master Qian's place... I will release the little black dot to find you as soon as I get back."
After a while, Errong, Liu Liben, Liu Liguang and Gu Dazhuang also came in.
Lian Xiaomin took a look and saw that everyone looked so miserable. It seemed that they had been in a fight and had bruises all over their bodies.
When everyone saw Lin Zi coming, they suddenly became more confident as they had been looking dejected.
Xiao Mao said, "This afternoon at around 4:00 p.m., before it got dark, a few of us were out delivering goods. Sales were fast during the Chinese New Year, so we were delayed for a while."
"When we were walking back, we just reached the street not far from the alley, and we saw a group of officials tying up Mr. Qian and the other four."
"There are people wearing red armbands, and there are also people from the police station. There are people everywhere, at least more than 30. It seems that the entire black market has been cleared out, and they are arresting people."
"We saw that the situation was not good and quickly turned around and ran. Six or seven people caught up with us. If we couldn't get any better, we would fight them..."
"…Luckily the five of us managed to escape in the end. After dark, we sneaked back and hid at my sister's house."
"They seem to have figured out everything about us. They even searched my house. My mother is holding us accountable!"
"Fortunately, I don't know about this at my eldest sister's house. My brother-in-law has gone out to get information and hasn't come back yet."
After hearing what happened, Lian Xiaomin felt that this matter was not simple.
"Was there no news about this arrest operation before? Doesn't Mr. Qian have connections and is protecting him?"
Errong said: "There really is no news at all, and there are many unfamiliar faces among these people, whom I have never seen before."
Xiao Mao also said, "Yes, we are familiar with the people in our commune bureau and committee. Even those from the county are not unfamiliar to us. Those who have investigated their background before probably know them all."
"This time it's unusual. Maybe it's someone coming down from above? I'll wait for my brother-in-law to come back. Maybe there will be some news."
Everyone sat on the edge of the kang, and some even moved stools and sat nearby.
Lian Xiaomin then noticed that there was a little boy about the same age as Xiaofu sitting on the big kang, quietly and obediently, watching them talk curiously. He must be Xiaomao's sister's child.
