"Director, there are a lot of people outside."
A low-level henchman rushed into the office of the head of the tail-cutting association in a panic.
The director angrily slammed down his teacup with a loud thud. "What's the rush? You have no manners at all."
The underlings immediately bowed and scraped, not daring to utter a sound.
My heart is filled with resentment.
Someone came with good intentions to deliver a message, but ended up getting a beating. Even the most good-tempered person would feel angry and frustrated.
After the director vented his anger, he calmed down and thought about what the henchman had said when he rushed in. His eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
He quickly stood up and asked, "What? A lot of people have come from outside? What are they here for?"
The henchman lowered his head and rolled his eyes. "I don't know, but they just look like ordinary people. The one leading them is a young woman."
Just an ordinary person.
The director was relieved and sat back down.
Before he could even settle into his seat, the henchman added, "They're holding three members of our Tail-Cutting Society captive; they've been beaten black and blue."
It took the henchmen a lot of effort to recognize the leader.
The sight of him being brutally beaten made his anus tighten.
In order to avoid being caught in the crossfire, they rushed to inform the director first.
Upon hearing this, the director clapped his hands and stood up abruptly. "Let's go. I want to see who has the guts to hit someone from my Tail-Cutting Society."
They must have really eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard.
They trampled his dignity into the ground.
The Jiangcheng Tail-Cutting Association requisitioned land that originally belonged to Jiangcheng Girls' Middle School, and after some simple renovations, turned the school into their office.
In front of the flagpole was a "Loyalty Platform," a display stand symbolizing loyalty to the Chairman. All the walls of the school were painted red with "quotation walls," as well as criticism boards.
Every Little Red Guard had a Little Red Book on their desk, and a portrait of Chairman Mao hung on the office wall, along with red slogans.
Lin Xiaoxiao threw the three stray dogs in front of the criticism board and glanced at the Red Guards surrounding them.
Many onlookers ran away as soon as they reached the entrance of the tail-cutting ceremony.
The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm is human nature.
About twenty people remained.
"The director is here," a henchman shouted.
The Red Guards made way for the director to walk unimpeded into the crowd.
"You..." The director frowned, about to question Lin Xiaoxiao about bringing so many people to cause trouble.
He had barely uttered a single word when Lin Xiaoxiao interrupted him, preemptively striking first.
Lin Xiaoxiao's face lit up with excitement. "You must be Director Ma from the Tail-Cutting Association. Seeing is believing! You are indeed a man of both virtue and talent. You don't seem like a simple person at all."
Director Ma, feeling refreshed and invigorated by her flattery, relaxed his composed expression.
But I was still very angry.
Slapping the tail-cutting society in the face is slapping his face.
It's not something that can be resolved with a few kind words.
Director Ma's face darkened again when he saw his subordinate lying on the ground, groaning softly.
"These two..."
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped on the leader and said, "Director Ma probably doesn't know them either. I was wondering how the Cut-Off Society, under Director Ma's wise leadership, could produce such lackeys who would casually label people."
"I immediately guessed that they were imposters, using the name of the Tail-Cutting Society to oppress the people, and then smearing the Tail-Cutting Society, making everyone's impression of the Tail-Cutting Society worse and worse."
"Does Director Ma know what people outside are saying about you?"
Director Ma asked, "What did they say?"
He was certain it wasn't anything nice.
But he was still curious.
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "You are using the banner of upholding the dictatorship of the proletariat to engage in rampant corruption, abuse your power, and cause social disorder."
"fart!!!"
Director Ma couldn't help but swear, his face flushed red, whether from resentment at being slandered or from feeling guilty for having his grievances exposed.
Lin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, looking completely innocent. "I definitely wouldn't think that way, it's just... there are too many people outside impersonating you."
"Three men can make a tiger; rumors are a fearsome thing. When there are too many people abusing their power to oppress the people, the people can't help but think more."
After saying that, he stomped hard on the person under his foot and said indignantly, "I just happened to catch these three."
"Here it is! I've brought it to Director Ma right away."
"The people who came with me heard that someone was impersonating a member of the Tail-Cutting Society, so they all came to ask about the situation."
"Please, Director Ma, carefully examine whether this person is real or an imposter, so as to clear the name of the comrades of the Cut Tail Association."
The crowd behind Lin Xiaoxiao echoed her sentiments.
The crowd spoke with righteous indignation, determined to prove the greatness and righteousness of the tail-cutting ceremony.
Director Ma cursed inwardly, wondering if he dared to admit it.
Does he dare say that these three people are members of the Tail-Cutting Society?
If they were to admit it, wouldn't that just prove they are a bunch of parasites who abuse their power, oppress the people, and cause social chaos?
Director Ma is currently feeling like he's swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express his suffering.
With a tense expression, he pretended to look again and again before shaking his head in denial, "No, they are not my men, they are imposters."
"Oh dear!" Lin Xiaoxiao pulled her foot back and smiled broadly. "I told you Director Ma was right."
The junior leader raised his head, wanting to say something, but when he met Director Ma's gaze, he shrank back in fear.
Director Ma smiled and said, "I've identified the person; everything's alright now."
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. "No, they framed innocent comrades and used the power of the Tail-Cutting Association to disrupt social order. They are blatant reactionaries. Director Ma will definitely teach them a 'good' lesson, right?"
Director Ma nodded, "Of course, comrade, don't worry."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt relieved and turned to the crowd that had followed her, saying, "Did you all hear that? If you ever encounter a 'fake' who is unreasonable, acts more like a big landlord than a local tycoon, and doesn't respect the masses, don't doubt it, it's definitely an imposter."
"As long as the masses unite, these lackeys and vermin will only be able to stay in the filthy sewers and dare not show their faces."
"We must always remember that the people are the masters of the country."
"The light of the red star has already shone upon the earth."
These powerful words stirred the hearts of the people.
They chanted slogans like, "Unity! Resistance!"
The group of dozens of people involved in the tail-cutting ceremony, led by Director Ma, looked at the excited crowd, their bodies stiff as corpses, and a chill ran from their feet to their heads.
After finally getting rid of the person, Director Ma returned to his office and slumped into his chair.
"Someone come here!"
"director."
"Investigate who sent those three idiots to provoke that woman," Director Ma said through gritted teeth.
It's not unusual for those below him to take money to deal with people, and he never stopped them.
After all, they have to give half of the money they receive to themselves as a form of filial piety.
Now that things have gone wrong, if things escalate, he won't come out on top.
The only option now is to send these three people out as scapegoats.
