Chapter 474 Breaking into the Prison at Night



Since the farm is very large and has many barracks, each of the people who came this time was assigned a single room, which invisibly facilitated his actions at night.

Xu Jianguo hid his body in the darkness and carefully observed the surrounding situation. He found that searchlights were occasionally scanning from several tall wooden towers not far away.

Mobile patrols in groups of five also patrolled back and forth in the farm. In addition to these guard forces, there were also two soldiers on guard in the outer hall of each dormitory.

The structure of the farm dormitories is no different from that of ordinary houses. They all face north and south, with a main hall in the middle and two rooms on the east and west sides. They are just slightly larger in area than ordinary houses.

In the main room of the dormitory, apart from the stove for heating the kang, there was only an office desk and two chairs for the soldiers on duty to rest.

Xu Jianguo had already figured out all the situations. After thinking about it, he took out an extra-large syringe from the space. The syringe was more than 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters in diameter. At this time, the syringe was filled with thick white smoke.

This smoke was the aphrodisiac incense he had prepared in the space using herbs from the medicine garden. It was intended to help the people in the dormitory sleep more soundly, making it easier for him to take the next action.

Xu Jianguo waited for a while, until the mobile sentry was away from the dormitory, then he quickly approached the door of the main room, observed the room with the Eye of Time and Space, and found that two soldiers were smoking and chatting in a low voice, so he inserted the needle through the crack in the door.

Since the lights-out signal had been blown, there was no light in the room. Xu Jianguo slowly pushed the syringe, and the white smoke quickly dissipated into the air without attracting the attention of the two soldiers.

After injecting the love incense, Xu Jianguo observed the two people again. In just a moment, the two people who were originally chatting in a low voice lay down on the table at the same time and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, he did not waste any time. He gently opened the door and entered the main room. Then he did the same thing and released the incense in the east and west dormitories respectively.

The prisoners who were originally chatting fell silent in an instant.

After finishing everything, Xu Jianguo put away the syringe, waited for a while, and then slipped into the space. Then Fu Bo appeared in the dormitory.

According to the location Xu Jianguo told him, he found Zhou Huainan who was sleeping, picked him up, and then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

According to Xu Jianguo, he currently did not know why Zhou Huainan was imprisoned in the labor camp, so he did not plan to meet Zhou Huainan directly, and all inquiries were left to Fu Bo to handle.

In addition, he would not believe Zhou Huainan's one-sided statement. After questioning, he would investigate it himself. If the old man was really wronged, then he would find a way to make him live more comfortably here.

But if Zhou Huainan really committed a crime, he would not let himself make a mistake just because of the little favor he had shown him before. At most, he would not add insult to injury and would become a stranger to him.

After returning to the space, Xu Jianguo handed Fu Bo a small porcelain bottle containing the antidote to the love incense. As long as Zhou Huainan put it under his nose and smelled it, he would wake up.

After Fu Bo responded, he took Zhou Huainan away, while Xu Jianguo went to the study, made himself a cup of tea, lit a cigarette and waited quietly.

While drinking tea, Xu Jianguo thought about the various reasons Zhou Huainan might give, and wondered how he could help him if Zhou Huainan was really wronged.

Some people may ask, if Zhou Huainan was really wronged, why couldn't he find a way to help him redress his wrongdoing and rescue him?

In fact, this was because Xu Jianguo had his own considerations. As a reborn person who had personally experienced the storm in his previous life, he did not think that leaving the farm was a good idea from the bottom of his heart.

On the contrary, I think that if Mr. Zhou was really wronged, then it would be a good idea for him to stay on the farm to avoid the storm. At least he would have his own help in this labor camp and would not live a miserable life.

Based on Xu Jianguo's understanding of Zhou Huainan's character, even if he was rehabilitated now, when the storm really came, the old man's fate might be even worse than it is now, so it would be better for him to stay here. He could help take care of him, and maybe after the storm dissipated, he would be able to return to his post one day.

After waiting for more than half an hour, someone knocked on the study door, and then Fu Bo walked in from outside.

"Did you find out?" Xu Jianguo asked.

"Yes, young master, it's pretty much as you expected. According to Zhou Huainan, he was wrongly accused when he was competing with another person for a position in the ministry," said Fu Bo.

Based on Fu Bo's narration, Xu Jianguo also understood the whole story.

Zhou Huainan has worked in the Provincial Machinery Administration for many years and has always been diligent and conscientious. With his qualifications, he should have been able to join Jingzhou's Machinery Department and take up his post long ago.

The reason why he had not been promoted was because someone in the ministry was blocking him. According to Zhou Huainan's description, this person was Xia Deren, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Machinery of Longxia State.

The reason why he had been blocking Zhou Huainan from getting promoted was because he wanted to leave this opportunity to his son who was the director of the Machinery Management Bureau in Southern Anhui Province.

Xia Deren is already over sixty years old this year and will retire in another one or two years. His son is just over fifty this year and has some advantages over Zhou Huainan in terms of age, but in terms of political achievements and contributions, he is far behind Zhou Huainan.

It is precisely because of this that the Mechanical Department has been arguing endlessly about the promotion of these two people.

As the deputy minister, Xia Deren is not from the same faction as the minister, so he naturally hopes that after he leaves, someone from his own faction will take over.

As an old subordinate of the Minister of Machinery, Zhou Huainan naturally belongs to the Minister's side, so the two factions argued endlessly, and there was no result for such a long time.

Three months ago, a tractor factory under Zhou Huainan's management suffered a production accident in which two operators were injured or killed due to a malfunction of a manufacturing equipment produced by Su Lian.

This problematic production equipment was the one Zhou Huainan had taken the lead in purchasing from the Soviet Union, and this gave Xia Deren's faction an opportunity.

Finally, under the promotion of Xia Deren, a joint investigation team composed of the Ministry of Machinery and the Safety Supervision Bureau entered the Southeast Provincial Machinery Management Bureau and began to investigate this production safety accident.
