Several people who rushed in behind him had been searching around the house. Lu Zhiye opened the wooden box while no one was paying attention and put the book into the space.
I casually removed a few screws and threw them into the space.
He stood there motionless, and the people behind him thought that Lu Zhiye had found something.
Fearing that someone else would take away his credit, the man quickly pushed Lu Zhiye away and shouted, "There's something here!"
The fat bearded man who was squeezed outside the door and couldn't get in was shocked and shouted, "Get out of the way!"
His voice was so deafening that it frightened several villagers who were trying to squeeze in, and they quickly stepped back to make room for him.
A few lackeys angrily pushed away the people surrounding them, and reached out to tidy up their clothes that had become messy due to the pushing and shoving.
Captain Lu's eyes sparkled when he saw the coordinated movements of the six people. He couldn't help but imitate their movements and adjusted his collar.
Um, well, because I have to work, the clothes I wear have no collars!
Captain Lu patted his clothes, pretending to be calm, and followed the others into the house.
A dark and thin villager was standing happily in front of the radio. Captain Lu glared at him. This man was not from their village, so why did he want to get involved in this mess?
If he remembered correctly, this was the younger brother of the sister-in-law of the lady with green scarf?
The bearded man looked at Lu Zhiye, who was standing aside without any panic, and said in a cold voice: "What else do you have to say? Come on, take him away!"
The people behind him were ready to make a move. Captain Lu's eyes were full of worry. He hurried forward and said, "Captain, is there any misunderstanding? Is it worth taking someone to be criticized for this banned book?"
We can just hold a general meeting to criticize and educate them."
The bearded man's contempt was evident. He crossed his arms and sneered, "Who is he originally? Now he is secretly hiding a banned book, which is an even greater crime.
I just have good intentions. I just hope the new bride will take the initiative to draw a clear line between herself and this man.
If I say a few more nice things, I think the higher-ups won’t pursue it.”
The bearded man said this to Wen Sihe. What's the point of just drawing a clear line? Wouldn't she still have to come and beg him to give her some leniency later?
"What? You're stopping him. As the leader of Dahe Village, do you want to protect this landlord's son, this social scumbag?"
Captain Lu's heart sank, and he didn't dare to dissuade him any further. He just hoped that Lu Zhiye would be more flexible in his thinking.
This is not a big crime. When no one is around, give them something to satisfy their appetite. Maybe things will be resolved.
The bearded man looked around and saw that there was total silence. Many villagers held their breath, as if frightened by his words. He nodded in satisfaction.
Wen Sihe stood in front of Lu Zhiye, with a righteous look on her face: "There were more than ten people carrying the dowry yesterday.
It is not ruled out that someone deliberately stuffed something in here.
The wooden box of this radio is closed. How did the person who reported it see it?
In my opinion, the person who reported the incident should be arrested and interrogated thoroughly.
And you! "
Wen Sihe turned around and pointed her thin white finger at the dark and thin man: "If I remember correctly, you are not from our Dahe Village, right?
Who would travel so far to join in the fun when visiting relatives? "
Her voice was crisp, but she was very proud in her heart. The villain in her heart kept shouting: "Praise me now, I am so domineering to protect my husband! Now Lu Zhiye must love me even more."
Wen Sihe felt very happy. She knew clearly that Lu Zhiye had a space. He had been in there for so long just now, so he must have put all his things in it.
That's why he dared to stand up fearlessly at this time and bombarded those shameless people.
This was indeed the fact. Lu Zhiye felt warm in his heart as he looked at Wen Sihe, who was obviously terrified and whose thin arms and legs were shaking. Wen Sihe resolutely stood in front of him.
It feels good to be completely trusted and fully protected by others.
Wen Sihe: I swear to God, I am so excited that my whole body is shaking!
The fat bearded man saw that everyone was protecting Lu Zhiye, so he waved his hand and said, "I don't care about anything else, I just care if there is any violation of the rules."
Lu Zhiye pulled Wen Sihe behind him with his big hand, stood up straight and said to the bearded man, "Whether there is a violation of the rules, don't we have to look at the evidence?
It is a little ridiculous to convict me just because of what this person said. "
The bearded man's face turned cold, but he remembered that the person who had reported him before had clearly stated the location of the banned book, which was the same place that the thin and dark man pointed out.
At this moment, he felt a little calmer. Someone had just told him that these things were the same today as they were yesterday.
The banned book was right in the room, how could it just fly away?
This kid won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River.
The bearded man gestured with his hand, and a man with a pointed face and a matchmaker's mole on the corner of his mouth pushed through the crowd and walked towards the wooden box.
The dark and thin man quickly made way and pointed at the wooden box and said, "This bastard has been blocking this place from being seen, so he must be here.
I vaguely saw a book, it must be true."
The man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks spat into his palm and was about to reach out to open the wooden box, which made Wen Sihe feel sick.
Lu Zhiye spoke up at the right time: "Wait a minute, what should we do if nothing is found in our house? Are we being wronged for nothing?
Or did your Revolutionary Committee just go to someone's house and search it after receiving a report, without doing any investigation at all?"
The bearded man looked at Lu Zhiye and his expression turned cold. When did their Revolutionary Committee allow a young boy to give orders?
However, he was able to reach his current position not only because of his brother-in-law who is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, but also because he has some brains.
"What do you want to do?"
"If not, then the informant reported false information. What was his intention? I request that their home be searched as well. This is fair."
Hearing this, the bearded man nodded impatiently. He thought it was some request.
It's just a matter of busyness for a while.
Most of the people in this village are illiterate poor farmers who have been farmers for three generations. It is impossible for them to hide anything in their homes.
The dark and thin man also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as his sister's family had already been separated. It was no exaggeration to say that the family was penniless.
That's a house full of holes that even mice would dig in. What good things could be hidden in it?
Lu Zhiye spread his hands, signaling the man that he could open the wooden box.
The man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks subconsciously touched his matchmaker mole and looked at the bearded man.
After the bearded man nodded imperceptibly, he reached out and opened the box solemnly.
