Chapter 150
Song Chao said, "Director, I was near Pan Village the other day when I saw a few scoundrels from their village bullying a mentally retarded young man. I stepped forward to stop them, but they pushed me a few times. Before I could do anything, one of them deliberately fell down and said I had hurt him. He insisted I give him money or he wouldn't let me go. I only had two yuan in my pocket at the time, and as soon as I took it out, they took it away."
This time he described the details of the process of giving the money in more detail. When he said he gave it before, Zhou Jiani thought he really compromised and handed it over voluntarily. Later, when he mentioned it again, she asked a few more questions. Zhou Jiani asked him not to whitewash those people. It was obviously him who took out the money, and a young man next to him snatched it away. This was robbery, not giving.
Zhai Xiangqiang looked at Gao Yongcheng with a serious look. Gao Yongcheng felt like his soul was about to fly away and was sweating profusely.
Zhou Jiani said, "Calling it extortion is already whitewashing it. How is this any different from robbing money?"
Gao Yongcheng hadn't expected that the trouble he'd been getting from those bastards in the village had actually been his fault. He cursed them inwardly, but said apologetically, "I'll have their father tie those damn kids up and give them a good beating when we get home. Comrade, don't worry, I'll definitely return the money to you."
He thought he could just blame it on their parents, criticize them a bit, and get the money back, as usual. Instead, Song Chao pushed his glasses and asked, "Captain Gao, how long have they been extorting money from people?"
Gao Yongcheng broke out in a cold sweat and gritted his teeth as he said, "I've never heard of such a blackmail before."
Zhou Jiani smiled and said, "Captain Gao, we've only been discussing the incident. We haven't mentioned the individuals from beginning to end, and you haven't asked about their appearance. You just naturally continued the conversation. It seems like you already know who they are. Not only do you know who they are, but you don't seem surprised by what they did. This means this isn't a one-off incident."
Gao Yongcheng's face flushed and cold sweat broke out.
Too nervous, forgot.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have panicked when facing just these young people, but the director was staring at him seriously, and he panicked and just took it.
He smiled bitterly and said, "You're probably talking about Wang Bin, Ma Hong, Gao Shengli, and Liu Ming. These people are just like that..."
Zhai Xiangqiang angrily asked, "That's it?" He shouted, "Why don't you do anything? They're almost like bandits, why don't you do anything? Is the militia useless or is the Public Security Bureau just a decoration? They've even taken over the government officials, and yet they're still like this? It's ridiculous!"
The sound was deafening in the small corridor, and it struck Gao Yongcheng's head like thunder, making him feel embarrassed.
He lowered his head and took the scolding, but he still couldn't help criticizing her in his heart, thinking, this little girl, why couldn't you tell him about this in private? Why did she send him around like this and even alarm the director?
This girl looks young, but why is she so cunning?
Gao Yongcheng thought again of what happened last year when the Qianjin Brigade bought materials from them. At that time, it was this little girl who calmly tricked those who wanted to put on airs, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat again.
Young people these days... But think about it, if they didn't have some skills, how could they have led the advance team in such a short time? My heart trembled at the moment, and I didn't dare to underestimate them at all.
After being scolded again, Gao Yongcheng quickly stated: "It was my negligence, Director, Team Leader Zhou, don't worry, I will deal with it when I get back."
Zhai Xiangqiang raised his hand and nodded, and said something so light that Gao Yongcheng almost fainted: "If you don't deal with them, I will deal with you. If you can't handle this matter, I will find someone else to take charge."
Gao Yongcheng's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and promised: "I will definitely punish him severely!"
Those guys are just reckless. If you give them a beating this time, they will do the same thing next time. Or they will just smile at you and stick to you, calling you "uncle" on the left and "grandfather" on the right, making it impossible for him to get through.
He was a bit annoying, but he didn't make any big mistakes. Plus, he was a soft-hearted person and didn't want to get involved. He was even more afraid that the situation would get out of hand and affect the reputation of the team, so he tried to smooth things over every time.
Unexpectedly, those brats had offended the commune clerk, so he reiterated: "Don't worry, Director, I will definitely deal with those bastards this time."
"Well, I haven't finished my report yet..." Song Chao said lightly, and Gao Yongcheng's soul almost flew away. He looked at the male comrade tremblingly.
Song Chao didn't look at him, but glanced at Zhou Jiani and Zhao Yuzhen. The two turned around and went into the house and closed the door.
The tacit understanding of cooperation is astonishing.
Song Chao told Director Zhai and the others about the insulting words those people taught the fool to say to female comrades. Director Zhai was so angry that his face turned red. He raised his finger and pointed at Gao Yongcheng, nodded at him, turned around with a sullen face and said nothing, then went back to the office.
Gao Yongcheng felt like the sky was falling. With a mournful face, he whispered to Song Chao, "Young comrade, can't you just talk to me privately? I'm not going to stand up for you."
Song Chao pushed his glasses and said coldly, "No!"
Gao Yongcheng almost choked him to death.
At the entrance of Pan Village, four young men were squatting on the ground smoking, bored.
One of them said, "Hey, where can we get something to eat? I'm craving meat."
Someone next to him said, "A few more bucks would be nice. That little four-eyed guy came over a few days ago." He then joked with his friend, "Hey, Hongzi, didn't your family find you a date? When is the date? If it works out, hurry up and have a wedding so we can go out for a meal."
Ma Hong spat on the ground and said, "Shit, I've seen him. His face is as bad as a donkey's. I don't like him. He's not even as good as the one Shengli saw last time."
Asked Gao Shengli: "Is your thing really broken?"
Gao Shengli also cursed: "It was fine at first, but then suddenly she didn't agree. It seems that woman's family sent someone to our village to inquire about it. They told me who they asked. If anyone says I'm not a good person, I'll fuck their mother. Damn it."
Ma Hong: "To put it bluntly, my family is poor. If I were rich, all the girls would be flocking to me. Hahahaha."
Wang Bin said, "Isn't that what the village wants to do with woven baskets? When they're done, we can find a chance to steal a couple and sell them. Hey, I also heard that the inspection team up there consists of two women, and one of them is really good-looking. Wow, I wonder if she's a young girl or a young woman."
Ma Hong immediately smiled obscenely and said, "If she is a big girl and is really good-looking, then let her stay in our village and become Brother Bin's wife."
Wang Bin smiled and shook his head: "He's still a commune cadre. I don't look bad looking. Let's try to flirt with him later."
The few of them laughed obscenely for a while, and seeing that it was almost time for dinner, they got up, brushed off the dirt on their bodies, and went home in a nonchalant manner.
In the commune, Gao Yongcheng went to Director Zhai's office with his head held high. Soon, he heard Director Zhai slamming the table and cursing. Half an hour later, Gao Yongcheng came out covered in dust. As soon as he left the commune, he gritted his teeth and took the militia back to the village. Without even saying hello, he arrested people and interrogated them separately. He also went back and told Gao Daniu's family about it.
Gao Daniu's family knew that Wang Bin and his friends bullied their children in the mountains and taught them to call bastards. They were so angry that they picked up an axe to chop Wang Bin and those little bastards to death.
When Wang Bin and his companions were taken away, the house was in chaos. An axe flew from the air and hit their front door, breaking the wood into three-quarters of its length.
The brothers Gao Daming and Gao Daliang had red eyes and came in, swinging sticks and hitting people. Wang Bin's family members huddled aside and no one dared to stop them.
Wang Bin's mother cried and screamed, "I can't control him. If you have the guts, beat that beast to death. I'll pretend I never gave birth to him..."
Gao Daming sneered: "Killing him is too easy. From now on, I will beat him up every time I see him."
The neighbors spat at him without asking the reason and cursed him, "You deserve it." Who hasn't had their chickens stolen by Wang Bin, or their children left alone bullied? He tried to make a big deal out of a small matter by going to the village, but now he had to ask someone to give him a good beating.
Not only Wang Bin's house, but also the houses of several of his friends were smashed to pieces. They directly said: "Wait until your little beast comes back and see how we deal with him."
These families were worried about their own children and were afraid that the Gao family's troubles would never end, so they went to the village and hoped that the village would step in to solve the problem.
They thought the Gao Daming brothers were making a fuss out of nothing, thinking that Daniu was a fool and that their child was just a playful kid, teasing Daniu. What was the big deal? They sent the militia to arrest him.
Gao Yongcheng had already held a meeting with other village officials and explained the situation. Seeing these families coming over crying and making a scene, he pointed and cursed, "Isn't this the first time I've cleaned up after those beasts of yours? I always tell you to keep them in check, but do you listen?"
Ma Hong's grandmother cried, "Why didn't I take care of him? I scolded him when I should have, but he didn't listen. What can I do? Besides, the child is grown up and I can't take care of him. I thought I would wait until he got married..."
Gao Yongcheng was like a grandson being scolded by the commune leader. He also felt that he had been tricked by the three young men and was already fuming. Besides, if he didn't punish them, his official hat would be removed. He was really furious and cursed, "Bah! You're still getting married? Don't harm the daughter of a good family. Now you don't have to take care of it. The militia will take care of it, the police will take care of it." He also cursed, "You even dared to rob the commune cadres. You are courting death like this."
Gao Shengli's mother was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, "When did they rob the commune cadres? We didn't know. Besides, those kids weren't that brave, and I guess they didn't know they were commune cadres..."
The old village secretary came out of his room and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Just because you're not a commune cadre, you can rob him? You've really spoiled a good child." He instructed a team leader who had come to the meeting, "Go call the militia. Anyone who makes trouble again will be locked up. We can reunite in jail and prevent them from becoming a nuisance in the village."
Wang Bin’s grandmother yelled at the top of her lungs, “Third Grandfather, you can’t do this! You’re the only great judge our Wang family has produced in generations…”
"Bah! Aren't you ashamed to say that?" The old man slapped his face. "I, a great and upright ruler, am not enough of a burden to that little bastard in your family."
There were a lot of people gathered at the village committee, but no one came to speak up, and many people cursed, saying that they deserved it.
"A chicken went missing from my house the other day, and I suspect that little bastard Wang Bin stole it," one aunt said, gritting her teeth. "If we go after this scoundrel family, they'll force you to produce evidence. We can't afford to offend them, so consider that chicken a token of our condolence."
Another woman said, "Who would dare to go look for him? Last time, my brother-in-law's chicken was stolen by the Ma kid, and my sister-in-law went to look for him. He got drunk and lay down in front of their gate. No matter how much we tried to talk him into anything, he wouldn't get up. In the end, we had to apologize to him and even gave him fifty cents. He got pissed. Now, God has finally opened his eyes."
Another person behind him said, "They're all shameless scoundrels. And that bad guy Wang Bin. Last spring, he fell in love with a girl from Moulan Village. She refused to marry him, so he spread rumors everywhere, saying that the girl had done something with this man. He even had the girl's brother stop him and beat him up. He hit him on the mouth with the sole of his shoe, and his stinky mouth was completely bruised..."
"He never learned his lesson. Years ago, he went to the educated youth camp and climbed over the wall to peek inside. He got caught. If Gao Yongcheng hadn't been afraid of the consequences and suppressed the incident, he would have been arrested by the Public Security Bureau and charged with hooliganism."
There is a lot of noise in the front and a lot of gloating in the back.
Gao Yongcheng was annoyed by the fact that these families were making a fuss and refusing to leave, and he was still angry, so he stood up and shouted, "Who in the village lost a chicken a few days ago? It was those little bastards who secretly roasted and ate it..."
The woman who had just said that her chicken was lost was stunned for a moment, then pushed through the crowd and rushed out, cursing.
There was a commotion in Pan Village for most of the night.
This also proves the saying that a broken drum is beaten by thousands of people, but they dare not beat it openly. However, these families woke up in the morning to find that their doors had been splashed with feces and there were several dead rats at the door...
On the other side, Wang Bin and his friends were locked up for a night and were so scared that they couldn't stand it anymore.
When he was first arrested, he was still smiling and trying to make friends with others, but he became obedient after being scolded by the militia.
They don’t know why they were arrested. They know that they have committed too many thefts, but who knows why?
In order to protect his position and punish them severely, Gao Yongcheng had already informed them of their personalities. Given their rogue natures, they would definitely deny anything if questioned directly. However, the militia had the means to deal with such rogues, so they were brought back and locked up in small dark rooms, and every hour they would be asked, "Do you know why we arrested you?"
Wang Bin and his friends initially protested their injustice: "We don't know. We are all good citizens."
"Then continue to stay."
They came to question them every hour at night, tossing and turning all night long. When they saw that they were a little bit exhausted, they started to falsify the interrogation. When they questioned one person, they said that person had already confessed; when they interrogated another person, they said that this person had confessed. After some intimidation, and considering that the few people were not tough to begin with, they told everything.
Next, we started looking for their respective families to pay the fines and announce the punishment results.
The one who robbed the money was Ma Hong, the one who fell to the ground and blackmailed people was Wang Bin, and the other two were responsible for instigating the incident, but they spent the stolen money together and also threatened and frightened Song Chao.
Putting this aside, there is also the matter of them beating Gao Daniu and instigating Gao Daniu.
Because Ma Hong was suspected of robbery, he was directly sentenced to two years in prison, and the others were sentenced to one year of farm labor.
Ma Hong's family members were not happy about this and felt it was unfair, so they started crying and making a fuss on the spot.
Parents who raise such a child can't be expected to be righteous. They started to accuse the other three people on the spot and revealed all the sneaky things they had done in the past.
Wang Bin also talked about the incident of climbing over the wall with a female educated youth last year.
Wang Bin's family was so angry that they told him about how Ma Hong stole bicycles from another village two years ago and dismantled them to sell the parts...
Okay, let’s re-examine and re-sentence.
Even Zhou Jiani didn't expect the ending to be so exciting.
She thought that if she could avoid meeting Wang Bin in this life, she would not meet him. She knew how shameless and difficult that bastard was. Now that she had the opportunity to use the situation to put pressure on Gao Yongcheng to deal with Wang Bin, she would naturally not let him go. She also did not think of showing mercy. It was good to vent her anger.
Originally, we thought we could just send Wang Bin and his companions to labor camp for a year or two, but we didn't expect that those families would turn against each other and send all of us to jail in one fell swoop.
happy!
