The local police station needs to gather more personnel, but they don't have enough, so they have to go to the armed forces department to ask them to send some militiamen to help.
The matter was of great importance, and the armed forces department did not hesitate to send out half of the militia company.
Director Zhang and his team were also extremely busy. Now that it was confirmed that the problem originated from the Yanchi Production Brigade, the nature of the matter was different.
It should be noted that the controversy surrounding the Yanchi Brigade had not yet subsided when this incident occurred.
This makes one wonder if someone is orchestrating this behind the scenes.
As the commune director, Director Zhang was politically astute. He already had several warning scenarios in mind, such as espionage and unrest, and he had begun to devise plans for how to handle them.
One order after another was issued.
Send people to find the old clerks or people who came from the Yanchi Production Brigade, one by one, and ask them to provide information such as the terrain, population composition, and armed forces of the Yanchi Production Brigade.
Even though Li Jianguo was very knowledgeable, he was still intimidated by this scene.
He swallowed hard, tugged at Gu Zhiyuan's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Gu, isn't this going too far? Why are the people from the Yanchi Brigade detaining Xiaoyan and hiding her at the brigade? Xiaoyan has no grudge against them and has never even seen them before. Isn't there some misunderstanding? And something doesn't seem right to me."
In the next sentence, he felt that the Yanchi production team was probably going to suffer this time.
After all, they've mobilized the militia company from the armed forces department; with such a large-scale operation, things can't be left unresolved.
You know, Director Zhang usually seems like a nice guy, but just now, his aura and the orders he issued were filled with murderous intent.
Gu Zhiyuan's features were extremely handsome and cold under the lamplight: "Then we'll have to see what the Yanchi Brigade is up to. Are they dissatisfied with the commune and the government? Has this operation been planned for a long time? That Cao Yang might just be a spy planted by the Yanchi Brigade in the commune! And Aning's trip to the countryside is the opportunity they've been waiting for for many years!"
Each word struck Li Jianguo like a thunderclap, and also resonated in the heart of Director Zhang, who was standing not far away.
Li Jianguo was stunned for a moment and stood there dumbfounded.
Gu Zhiyuan said, "I'm going to find someone to ask around. I'll be back in half an hour."
After saying that, he ignored Li Jianguo and the others, walked straight out of the commune's courtyard, and disappeared into the night.
Director Zhang's expression became even more serious and cold. After whispering a few words to the other commune leaders and the director of the Revolutionary Committee, their faces also turned stern.
Half an hour later, all the militiamen from the armed forces department had assembled.
Some of the people who went to inquire about the Yanchi production team have also returned. One of them not only returned by himself, but was also followed by an elderly man with hair in his fifties.
He walked up to Director Zhang and said, "Director Zhang, this Comrade Liu is the most knowledgeable about the affairs of the Yanchi Brigade. I was afraid that there might be some oversights in my communication, so I brought him here directly."
Director Zhang nodded to Comrade Liu, and without exchanging pleasantries, asked directly, "You've heard about the situation, haven't you?"
Comrade Lao Liu nodded nervously.
"Alright, tell me about the situation at the Yanchi Brigade?" Director Zhang rubbed his forehead.
Everyone in the courtyard turned their attention to Comrade Lao Liu.
Comrade Liu never expected that he would have such a moment of glory after retirement, being seen by so many leaders who were waiting for him to speak.
If he were younger, his tonsils would probably become inflamed before he could even speak.
However, being of advanced age, he calmed down after a moment of excitement.
He cleared his throat, about to introduce the situation of the Yanchi Brigade.
Gu Zhiyuan walked in from outside the commune, exuding a cold and austere aura. Wherever he passed, everyone involuntarily made way for him.
Upon seeing Comrade Lao Liu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Jianguo quickly introduced Comrade Lao Liu's identity to Gu Zhiyuan.
Gu Zhiyuan's gaze softened slightly, and he stepped forward: "Hello, Comrade Liu! I'm so sorry to trouble you so late! The matter is urgent. Could you please explain the situation of the Yanchi Brigade to us on the way?"
Although Comrade Liu didn't know Gu Zhiyuan, judging from Gu Zhiyuan's demeanor and manner, which surpassed even the top leaders of the commune, he guessed that Gu Zhiyuan was a leader sent down from above, so he quickly nodded and said, "Of course, of course!"
Director Zhang was almost laughing in exasperation.
But there was no time to argue at the moment. With a wave of his hand, the militiamen lined up to run off, while the others either rode bicycles or planned to run along with them.
Gu Zhiyuan glanced at Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo immediately understood: "We have a car, let's go by car, it'll be faster!"
The vehicle they were driving was a department store transport vehicle; the back compartment could easily fit twenty or thirty people if you squeezed in.
Besides the driver, there were Gu Zhiyuan, Li Jianguo, Director Zhang, and that old Liu comrade all crammed into the driver's seat.
The remaining people, though unable to squeeze onto the bus, had enough bicycles available. One person rode with another on their back, following behind the car, and they sped into the night.
Inside the driver's cab, Comrade Lao Liu was introducing the situation of the Yanchi Brigade.
According to county records, the origin of Yanchi Brigade is said to be that in the early years, a royal physician surnamed Luo was implicated in palace intrigues and was demoted back to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown, the imperial physician Luo was disheartened and chose the current location of Yanchi Brigade, where he built a house with his family and lived in seclusion.
As time went on, more and more people came to seek medical treatment. Some were grateful to Physician Luo for staying, while others had nowhere else to go, so they gradually stayed and built houses nearby to live in.
Later, a village was formed.
This place wasn't called Yanchi Brigade before; it was called Luojiazhai.
Among the people inside were descendants of Imperial Physician Luo, who knew how to treat illnesses and make medicine, as well as some Jianghu descendants or desperate outcasts whom Imperial Physician Luo had helped, who would go up the mountain to hunt.
It is said that during the War of Resistance against Japan, the Japanese devils from Japan heard that Luo Family Village was the descendant of the imperial physician, and they even led troops to besiege the village.
Later, I don't know how they retreated, but many people died in Luo Family Village.
I heard that the medical books and ancient prescriptions left behind by Imperial Physician Luo were looted by the Japanese devils from Japan.
There are also rumors that the descendants of Physician Luo burned all the medical books and ancient prescriptions, which angered the Japanese devils, who then slaughtered and looted almost all the people of Luo Family Village.
However, there were indeed few people left in Luojia Village. It was only after the founding of the People's Republic of China that it slowly recovered and changed its name to Yanchi Production Team.
Nowadays, there are very few descendants of the Luo family left in the Yanchi production team; less than one in ten people with the surname Luo survives.
However, there were more people with other surnames.
