"Good job, Li Lin! No wonder you even neglected your work in the village and went to Shangshui Village every day. So you came here to eat and drink for free? You have made us, the cadres of Weishui Village, lose face!"
Lu Yu Ming jumped out excitedly and began to accuse Li Lin in front of all the leaders.
Looking at Lu Yu Ming's smug expression, Li Lin immediately understood something.
This Wang Ergou is a lazy guy who doesn't work properly. Such a poor family is not worth helping.
However, considering that he had a wife who suffered from polio, Li Lin would often buy some chickens and ducks from his family for the purpose of providing financial assistance.
Moreover, every time I paid him the highest market price and never on credit!
If you ask yourself, Li Lin has done nothing wrong to Wang Ergou's family, and he may even have done them a favor, but why did he do this today?
From his panicked and guilty look, Li Lin seemed to see something.
Wang Ergou has a bad habit of gambling. Perhaps someone took advantage of his weakness and forced him to come out and slander Li Lin.
As for who it was, Li Lin already had the answer in his mind.
Everyone in the village knew that in addition to contracting projects in the village, Gu Datong also had a side job, which was organizing gambling and lending money at high interest rates.
Damn it! In order to avenge me, he resorted to such despicable means!
Think about these things clearly, and then look at Lu Yu Ming's pretentious appearance. His poor acting skills make him look like a clown, which is disgusting!
"Secretary Lu, even if you want to punish me, shouldn't you first investigate the matter thoroughly? Why are you rushing into this?" Li Lin asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Lu Yu Ming! Do you look like a party committee leader? You jump to conclusions before you understand the matter clearly, and you yell at Minister Li. How can you be so disrespectful? Quickly ask the comrades from the township petition office to come here and take this villager away to question him first!"
As the head of the township, you would have been fine if you didn't stop the villagers from blocking the road to petition, but you actually exaggerated the situation and created chaos!
Liu Yong saw Lu Yu Ming's performance and was very dissatisfied!
"Secretary Liu, what bad intentions could I have? I am standing up for the masses and I am ashamed that there is such a shameless cadre like Li Lin in the village! I..."
Faced with Liu Yong's questioning, Lu Yu Ming's face turned red and he spoke incoherently to justify his behavior.
Fighting for justice? Such words are not something a township party committee secretary can say!
Liu Yong glared at Lu Yu Ming fiercely, and that look seemed to want to crush a person to death!
"Secretary Liu, I...Li Lin he..." Lu Yu Ming looked innocent.
"Get out of here, get out now!" Liu Yong shouted angrily. After holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't help but burst out swearing.
At this time, the village party secretary Wang Shengli and several village committee members rushed over after hearing the news.
Wang Shengli was furious when he saw Wang Ergou. He strode forward, grabbed Wang Ergou by the collar and slapped him twice.
"You fucking bastard! Village Chief Li takes such good care of your family. He comes to your house every now and then to buy a few chickens from you. He does this just to help you. He's afraid that your family will starve to death!"
"I don't know what has possessed you, kid, to dare to repay kindness with enmity and slander Mayor Li for eating and drinking for free at your house?"
"You need to explain clearly in front of the leaders right now, what did Township Chief Li eat and drink from you for free?"
"If you can't explain it clearly, I will beat you to death today!"
Wang Shengli has a high seniority in Shangshui Village, and Wang Ergou is his grandson. It is reasonable for a grandfather to teach his grandson a lesson, and no one in the village thinks it is excessive.
Wang Ergou squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, looking pitiful...
Under Wang Shengli's stern questioning, he almost told the whole truth.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu Ming panicked!
He suddenly felt a chill on his back. If his superiors knew that the real murderer who had instructed him to falsely accuse Li Lin was his brother-in-law, the consequences would be disastrous!
He couldn't care less about anything else now and he stopped Wang Shengli immediately.
"Wang Shengli, stop it! As the village party secretary, you beat a citizen for no reason. You are breaking the law knowingly. You are committing a crime and you must be dealt with by the organization!"
Wang Shengli had no choice but to stop, but he still said to Lu Yuming unwillingly, "Secretary Lu, he is my grandson, there is nothing wrong with me beating him. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone in the village!"
What? Lu Yu Ming was confused.
He looked around in surprise and asked the people around him, and all he got were affirmative answers. Everyone nodded at him, as if to say, "Yes, Wang Ergou is his grandson!"
"You can't even fight here, my grandson!" Lu Yu Ming was about to collapse.
Gao Yalan, a member of the village committee, also stood up angrily at this time, "Minister Li, Secretary Liu, leaders, I am a member of the village committee of Shangshui Village, I can testify that Township Chief Li always spends a lot of money to buy agricultural products from Wang Ergou's family, and has never eaten or drunk anything for free. I can swear..."
"Leaders, we can also testify! Not only did Village Chief Li never take a penny from Wang Ergou's family, but he also took the initiative to pay for the meals when he ate from the communal pot in the village..."
"Dear leaders, I am a villager of Shangshui Village. All of us present here can testify for Mayor Li. Not only does he not take a single cent from the village, but he even pays out of his own pocket to help solve problems faced by families!"
"Leaders, we cannot watch such a good official being slandered. You must enforce the law impartially and clear Mayor Li's name!"
The crowd was excited! More and more people came to prove Li Lin's innocence.
The panic on Lu Yu Ming's face became more and more obvious. He looked at the crowd around him and felt dizzy. He suddenly shouted hysterically, "Shut up! It's not up to you to decide whether Li Lin is innocent or not! It's the government..."
