Chapter 178 Confusion of right and wrong
Brother Tao changed Lin Qi's room and asked someone to go with him to send Director Qiu to the hospital.
"What happened?" The colleague covered his mouth and nose, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit.
"I don't know." Brother Tao said expressionlessly.
The colleague glared at him, "You went in for questioning with the director, how could you not know! Could it be that Lin Qi beat up the director? That's not right. If Lin Qi beat up the director, you shouldn't be fine. You didn't go up to help the director?"
"The director entered the room, and before he could say a few words, he suddenly rolled on the ground, holding his stomach. After rolling for a while, he fainted. I didn't even have time to ask what happened." Brother Tao said calmly.
My colleague looked puzzled, "Could it be that I ate something wrong?"
This looks a lot like pooping and peeing, doesn't it?
I don’t know what I ate last night, it stinks so much!
Director Qiu was carried out of the Revolutionary Committee. They covered their mouths and noses, and only started discussing loudly after Director Qiu walked away.
"What happened?"
"I just heard from Chen Tao that the director suddenly had a stomachache."
"Why is it so painful that I fainted."
"Don't you find it strange? The man who came to testify yesterday also had a stomachache and ran away. Today, Director Qiu also had a stomachache and was carried out of the room without making any noise. If I'm not mistaken, it took less than ten minutes from the time Director Qiu entered the room to the time he was carried out."
Everyone looked at each other, "It should be okay, after all, Chen Tao went in with us. If something happened inside, Chen Tao would definitely protect Director Qiu."
Everyone suspected that Lin Qi had done something to Director Qiu.
Just a moment after Director Qiu was sent away, people from the Anliang Brigade arrived in the town.
Originally, the team leader Luo Feng only wanted to bring a dozen people, but when everyone heard that they were going to the Revolutionary Committee to ask for people, they followed without saying a word, including men, women, young and old, and there were a total of 500 people. If they didn't need people to stay behind to look after the house, there would be even more people coming.
Such a large group of people entering the town instantly attracted the attention of the townspeople.
"Why are you here? Why are there so many of you?"
"We are members of the Anliang Brigade. Yesterday, the Revolutionary Committee brought one of our members to the town. We are here today to inquire about the situation."
"Why did the Revolutionary Committee take your team members away?"
"They say it's speculation. But we don't believe it. Our team members will never speculate."
"Do you really trust your team member? He (she) is so popular in the team that your team can mobilize so many people?"
"Of course, she is a very nice person, you should have heard of her."
"Besides Lin Qi, the most famous people in Jiahe Commune are only the names of the leaders. Who is this person you are talking about?"
"That's Lin Qi. She's been ill for a year and has never been out of the brigade. How could she be involved in speculation? The Revolutionary Committee must have made a mistake."
"It's actually Lin Qi! Is this true? She doesn't have to do this, right?"
"Of course it's fake."
"I'll go with you and take a look."
“.......”
The people in the Revolutionary Committee never imagined that one day their office building would be surrounded, not only by farmers but also by town residents. The loudest among them were the students.
"You arrested someone and detained him for a day and a night. You have conducted the necessary trials and the results should be out. Why don't you make the results public?" Yu Yang stood at the front of the team, holding a loud speaker and shouted loudly.
Yu Yang was none other than one of the twelve students that Lin Qi had saved. Not only Yu Yang came today, but the twelve students also came, along with their classmates and parents.
"That's right, make it public. What's the point of hiding it?"
"There must be something fishy going on here!"
"I know. There is no evidence and no witnesses. This is a false accusation! Whoever reported it, let him come forward!"
"Yes! Stand up!"
"Come out and confront him, otherwise it will be a trumped-up charge and he must be released!"
"Release him immediately!"
“........”
When the Anliang Brigade arrived, a commotion had already broken out in front of the Revolutionary Committee building, with more than a hundred indignant students shouting slogans louder and louder, and their questions were deafening.
"These students are really loyal and righteous." Deputy Captain Luo Zhijian praised.
"I cannot repay you enough for saving my life." Jian Yitong said.
"That's true, but there are also people who repay kindness with enmity." The longer he lives, the more evil spirits he sees. He never gambles on human nature. "But there are quite a few people here today, which shows that there are more people who are grateful and repay kindness."
In the clinic, Director Qiu had already changed into a clean hospital gown. He looked gloomy and said, "Can't find out the cause? How can you not find out?"
He was clearly in so much pain that he lost control of his bowels and bladder and passed out from the pain!
"From the examination results, all your indicators are normal and there is indeed no problem. If you are worried, you can go to the county or city hospital for a more detailed examination." The doctor said in a calm tone. The director of the Revolutionary Committee looked very miserable when he was brought in, but they had indeed checked him and there was nothing wrong with his health.
"Someone complained of stomach pain yesterday and came for a bunch of tests, but nothing was found," said the nurse.
"Was the person who came yesterday a tall and thin man?" Chen Tao asked.
"Yes, he's tall and thin, and his last name is Li," said the nurse.
It was the witness from yesterday.
Chen Tao looked at Director Qiu with a complicated expression, "Do you think this is a coincidence, or?"
"Lin Qi!" Director Qiu gritted his teeth, "She must have done something. Where is Lin Qi now?"
"The person is still in the Revolutionary Committee." Chen Tao said.
"Director, something bad has happened--" A man ran into the clinic in a panic and shouted as soon as he entered the gate.
"Shut up, I'm fine!" Director Qiu shouted coldly with a dark face.
"Our Revolutionary Committee building was surrounded. The members of the brigade and students blocked our door and asked us to release Lin Qi."
"Let her go? No way!" Director Qiu cursed. Lin Qi had made him look so bad. If he didn't take revenge, he would no longer be the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
"Director, if we can't provide evidence to prove that Lin Qi is really engaged in profiteering, those students and villagers will not let it go!" the man said worriedly.
Director Qiu had never thought that he, the head of the Revolutionary Committee, would be threatened. He was furious. "What if they refuse to give up? Can they rush in and smash the Revolutionary Committee?"
"It's possible." The man stammered, "If it really gets smashed, we'll be so embarrassed."
In the past, they were the ones who beat and destroyed others, but now it’s others who beat and destroy them, and those who are just watching the fun are clapping and cheering.
Director Qiu choked, thinking of those impulsive students. It was indeed possible. "Go ask the police station to come and maintain order."
"Another colleague went to invite him."
As these words fell, two more men ran in.
"Director, the police station staff are out on business. There are only two people left in the station today. They can't come to help."
"Director, I just went to the bank, and there is no Lin Qi's deposit in the bank. I can't even find Lin Qi's deposit record. I have asked another colleague to go to the county to see what the situation is in other banks in the county."
There was no one at the police station and the bank deposit records had been deleted. I was afraid that not only the banks in the town, but even the banks in the county had been cleaned out long ago!
It’s the rival who’s taking action!
What he didn't expect was that so many people were involved in this matter, and now it seems that many of them are in high positions.
In fact, not so many people participated at the beginning. It was because of the drought last year, when there was a shortage of food everywhere and countless people were suffering from hunger, that more and more people participated. After all, as the parents of the government, when the taxes below could not be collected and the food above was not enough, suddenly such a channel appeared. What reason did they have to refuse!
No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as filling your stomach.
What's more, it was a public purchase and then a unified distribution, how could it be considered speculation?
Lin Qi's sweet potato fields supported most of the farmers in Yao County through the famine. Her supplies benefited several nearby counties and urban areas. Even the provincial capital took a lot of supplies from her. Her contribution was huge. It's fine if she can't be praised publicly, but how can she be arrested?
Even Chen Tao knew the truth, but Director Qiu, who had just arrived, was blinded by power and wanted to put a accusation on Lin Qi and touch the people behind Lin Qi.
I’m afraid Director Qiu’s fate will not be any better.
Chen Tao left the health center silently. He could no longer stay with Director Qiu. Once others mistakenly thought he was Director Qiu's man, his fate would probably be worse than Director Qiu's. After all, he had no background and no one would help him.
Director Qiu didn't notice Chen Tao's departure. He was still angry. "We don't have any evidence of speculation, but feudal superstition must be true. It's the people of Yao County who said that sweet potatoes grow in her sweet potato field every day, not us! What kind of field can grow sweet potatoes every day? If this isn't fraud and feudal superstition, what is it?"
The faces of several subordinates became somewhat interesting, a mixture of depression, frustration and speechlessness.
Director Qiu glared, "Why don't you speak?"
"The people who came said that they buried the sweet potatoes in Lin Qi's field and then dug them out of the ground. It has nothing to do with Lin Qi." The subordinate said with mixed feelings.
Director Qiu was so angry that he cursed, "They are talking nonsense! Burying it in the ground and then digging it out, they have nothing to do after they are full!"
"But that's what they said. It's okay if one person said it, but now hundreds of people are saying it, and they can say black is white and false is true. And our people were not there at the time, so they have the final say on what exactly happened."
Director Qiu felt a black screen before his eyes and fainted again.
