As night fell, the moon hid behind the clouds.
A group of people wearing black clothes and armbands on their arms walked towards the river with great momentum.
Although the noise was quite loud, they seemed to be experienced and moved very lightly when approaching the river. In the darkness, it was difficult to attract anyone's attention.
The leader, Li Zhichao, suddenly stopped. Niu Shuli was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you leave?"
Li Zhichao motioned her not to speak, then pricked up his ears and listened. He made a gesture only after he was sure there was a rustling sound coming from the bushes ahead.
The people behind him immediately rushed forward like locusts and turned on the searchlights in their hands.
"Don't move, put your hands up!"
"Okay, you're doing this late at night, arrest them all!"
The strong light from the searchlight made the surrounding area as bright as day, and Niu Shuli's eyes were searching around.
There were two figures under the light, one tall and one petite. The petite one was obviously An Hua!
Niu Shuli became excited, "An Hua, I finally caught you! Haha, you are having an affair with a man! Li Guochao, hang the prepared shoes around her neck, and send her to the street, beat the gongs and drums, and let everyone come out to see this modern Pan Jinlian!"
Li Guochao did not act in a hurry. He looked at An Hua and her adulterer. Both of them were neatly dressed and looked calm, without any sign of having an affair.
He leaned over to Niu Shuli's ear and whispered something.
Niu Shuli didn't find it strange at all and said, "What else can a man and a woman do in this dark place except stealing people? They are well dressed, maybe they just didn't have time to take them off! Why don't you just do it yourself and strip them clean before parading them in the streets!"
Li Guochao glanced at the tall figure with his back to them, and felt something was wrong, but Niu Shuli kept yelling at him to act quickly, so he had no choice but to order his men.
At this time, An Hua spoke up, "Excuse me, Comrade Niu Shuli, what are you doing?"
Niu Shuli said disdainfully: "You are about to die and you still want to quibble? Let me ask you, what were you doing with this man in the dark? As a military dependent, you dare to steal a man. Today, I will take the trouble to find you, Pan Jinlian, for the army!"
An Hua was calm and composed, not at all panicked by being "caught cheating", and even smiled, "So, Comrade Niu Shuli has made great contributions, and the army should thank you?"
Niu Shuli snorted, "Whether the army is grateful to me or not is none of your business. What you should be thinking about is whether your husband, an old cadre, will still want you after he finds out that you cheated on me."
"Old cadre?"
When Niu Shuli heard him say "adulterer", she looked down on him even more. "Don't you know she married an old cadre? He's old enough to be her father. Otherwise, why do you think she would cheat on you?"
The "adulterer" slowly turned around, the searchlight clearly illuminating the dignity and solemnity on his face, "I didn't realize that I was already an old cadre at the age of thirty."
Niu Shuli's brain stopped working.
Li Guochao reacted quickly, frowned and asked: "What is your relationship?"
Xiao Zheng put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Can't you see? It's obvious that we are husband and wife, and the organization recognizes us as a legal couple!"
Li Guochao was confused and looked at Niu Shuli.
Niu Shuli didn't understand even more. Wasn't it said that An Huan's husband was a veteran cadre? ! This man in front of me doesn't look old at all.
"You...you are lying!" Niu Shuli suddenly realized, "Yes, you are lying to escape the blame! Arrest them now!"
Li Guochao hesitated.
Xiao Zheng seemed to have been prepared and took out his marriage certificate and his own body as proof.
Li Guochao shone the light on it and took a closer look, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Captain, Commander..."
Niu Shuli stamped her feet anxiously, "Li Guochao, don't be fooled by their words! My dad has told you to listen to him!"
"Comrade Niu Shuli, please stop talking," Li Guochao said helplessly, gritting his teeth, "They are a legal couple!"
Niu Shuli was stunned for a while before she said, "So what if they are husband and wife? Having a tryst by the river is still an adultery!"
An Hua: "Who said we were having a tryst?"
Niu Shuli: "It's late at night, if it's not a tryst, are they fishing?"
An Hua smiled and said, "You are right, we are fishing." Then, she picked up the fishing rod to show everyone.
Everyone: "..."
Niu Shuli's eyes widened. Fishing in the dark? Only a fool would believe that! But she couldn't find any evidence that An Huan was lying.
"You...the fish in the river are public property. Who allowed you to fish privately? You are encroaching on private property!"
"We put the fish we caught back and didn't take them home, so how can that be considered as usurping your personal property?" An Hua laughed and said, "I just like fishing for fun, what's it to you!"
"......Are you sick?!" Niu Shuli finally broke down.
What kind of people are these! Do you like fishing in the dark? ?
Li Guochao couldn't let things go on like this, so he pulled Niu Shuli aside and talked to her in a low voice.
Niu Shuli was a little dumbfounded. "Are you saying that the man is the commander of the independent division, or An Hua's husband?"
Li Guochao nodded, "In the past, the army had no control over local affairs, but now it's different... In Hai City, there is already an example of a military propaganda team stationed in a factory... What's more, Commander Xiao is still the director of our county revolutionary committee..."
After Li Guochao's analysis, it was most likely that something went wrong with the intelligence tonight. As for where the mistake was, he would have to go back and investigate and analyze it carefully.
But before that, I can't continue to offend Xiao Zheng.
Thinking of this, Li Guochao immediately put on a smile, went over to Xiao Zheng and nodded, saying: "Master Xiao, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. We received a false report, so we mistook you and your lover for... Please forgive me, please forgive me."
Xiao Zheng: "I can't forgive you."
Li Guochao paused.
Xiao Zheng said coldly: "You rushed out for no reason and scolded my wife, and even wanted to strip us of our clothes and parade us through the streets! You just made a light statement of misunderstanding, and you want to let it go? Look at me carefully, do I look like such a magnanimous person?"
Li Guochao was stunned.
Xiao Zheng: "You abused your power to frame innocent people and slandered soldiers and their families. I will hold you accountable!"
