Lian Xiaomin slipped into the space with her bicycle. She also needed to catch her breath as she was a little hungry.
Sitting at the dining table and drinking a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, he used his mental power to monitor what the people in the room were doing and saying.
I saw a woman and a boy about three years old sleeping in a room on the second floor of this two-story building.
The light was on in the study on the first floor, and judging from his age and clothes, the short and fat man in his forties should be Miao Shoutai.
He was smoking a cigarette and wearing a pair of glasses. From the way he sat and his demeanor, he looked like a leader in officialdom.
Sitting opposite him was a man in his thirties, probably Cao Wu.
In a guest room next to the study, there were two injured people lying and sleeping. They were both under 25 years old and should be Cai Wu's two younger brothers.
According to the names on their work IDs, the second oldest was Cai Sheng and the third oldest was Cai Da.
She first listened to what the two people in the study were talking about so late at night.
I saw Cai Wu, who dared to act arrogantly everywhere, saying that he was Director Miao's elder brother-in-law, and Miao Shoutai was his brother-in-law, and so on. He was very arrogant.
But when he is in front of others, he becomes humble and fawning, acting like a big shot.
He lowered his head at this moment, being lectured by the man named Miao.
"Cai Wu, if it weren't for Xiaoli, I wouldn't have spared you! Didn't you hear the phone call just now? Fan Liqiang actually called my house and said something like, the guy you fought with has disappeared from the cell!"
"You are using my name to get someone to do something for you. This Fan is no simple person. He will not do anything without profit. If something happens to you and it has a bad influence on me, I will punish you!"
"You know, I haven't solved my own problems yet, so I don't have the time to bother with your trivial matters."
Cai Wu looked like a coward, and he leaned closer and said, "Brother-in-law... Director Miao, I am doing this for you. That person might really be related to Qian Gui. If I make up a lie, I will be struck by lightning!"
"… You say, if there is really a clue to the grain, wouldn't your troubles be solved? If you catch the reseller and seize a large amount of grain, wouldn't your material deficit be made up?"
…
…
The two of them whispered for a long time. They thought that if they talked about the secret behind closed doors, no one would know.
But what no one expected was that Lian Xiaomin, who was far away, could hear it all clearly with her mental power and understood it all.
During the planned economy period, the Materials Bureau carried out material sales and supply work with "unified planning and hierarchical management" for materials.
Miao Shoutai and his superior, the friend from the provincial capital, colluded with each other to commit corruption and abuse of power, and found ways to embezzle a large amount of supplies, mainly food, and made huge profits privately.
Although the specific means were not described in detail, this is roughly the situation.
Originally, they had planned to frame everything on the head of Jianye County Materials Bureau, Director Shi Yutao.
Shi Yutao is an upright person and an honest official. They wanted him to take the blame, but he was not fully prepared at the moment.
Director Shi, who is taking the blame, probably doesn't know that he is about to be in big trouble.
Unexpectedly, someone has begun secretly investigating the problems of Miao Shoutai and others, and has found some clues. It seems that Sun Heping is among the investigators.
Miao Shoutai was anxious to plug the deficit and deal with this hurdle first.
It was discovered that Xu Laosan of Fengtian and Qian Gui of Sandaogou were reselling a large amount of grain. They wanted to dig out the source of the large amount of grain so that they could confiscate it and make up for the shortage of grain.
But Qian Gui ran away last time, and Xu Laosan, as the supplier, didn't know the more specific source of the goods, so the clue was lost.
Lian Xiaomin finished her porridge and sat at the table in the restaurant, feeling angry.
The people were already short of supplies and life was so difficult, and most officials of that era worked diligently.
Even Zhang Shengli, a small captain of the Sandaogou team, was willing to risk his own safety to buy food for the villagers.
However, in any country and any dynasty, there will always be such a hateful corrupt official who does such immoral things.
After listening for a while, the two of them were talking about how to deal with Sun Heping. Cai Wu kept giving bad ideas, and in the end they couldn't come to any conclusion.
Miao Shoutai was both sleepy and impatient.
"Okay, go to sleep. Xiaoli asked the three of you to recuperate at my house. You better behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble. Don't worry about the police running away. I will take care of it myself."
Cai Wu stood up angrily, nodded and bowed, saying that he would remember it, then turned around and left.
Just walked to the door and came back immediately.
"What's the matter again? Don't ask me for money again. Xiaoli has been secretly giving you money!"
"Oh, no, I just want to remind you that you must hide the account book well. What if that powerful person rescues the people in the cell and then... Brother-in-law, the account book is a life-threatening thing! Why don't you destroy it?"
Miao Shoutai sneered at him: "Just take care of yourself. Am I such an imprudent person? Don't worry about me."
When Lian Xiaomin heard this, her heart moved. It seemed that this account book was the key and she had to search it out.
After a while, Cai Wu went to bed, but Miao Shoutai did not move. He quietly finished the cigarette in his hand, as if thinking about something.
After another ten minutes or so, he finally stood up, left his desk, and went upstairs.
When they entered the bedroom, the noise woke up Cai Xiaoli who was sleeping. She turned on a small table lamp, got up and carried her son to the small bed next to her.
