Looking back, Sikong Haoqiang couldn't hold it in anymore when he heard what he said. What did he, a director, know? Who would be willing to do such a sneaky thing if it wasn't for survival?
"I don't understand what you are saying. Just because you are the director, you can convict others at will! I will sue a corrupt official like you even if I go to jail!" Sikong Haoqiang shook his head left and right while speaking, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, staring at Shi Shichang with saliva dripping down his face like a hungry dog from hell.
Luo Guoqing defensively took out his baton to block Sikong Haoqiang. If he suddenly counterattacked, he could still block it. He ordered the people beside him: "Find a rope to tie him up."
Wang Lung said to them, "Just take him away. Chen Dong cannot be touched."
Shi Shichang opened his bag, took out the envelopes, and opened them. He said sternly, "Don't worry, you can go with him. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Come with us!"
Wang Long immediately recognized the envelope in his hand as the one he had hidden under the bed and denied it outright: "Impossible! I wouldn't betray you. This must be fake. Don't believe him, folks!"
Luo Guoqing seized on the loophole in his words and pointed out the problem: "You said it was fake without even looking at it. How do you know that this is evidence of your collusion with foreign enemies?"
"When did I say that? There must be something wrong with your ears." Wang Long realized that he had said the wrong thing when he heard what he said.
Shi Shichang looked at him pretending to be crazy and foolish, and directly punctured his beautiful fantasy: "It's okay if you don't admit it. Didn't you say that I was unreasonable? Sometimes you have to take necessary measures to deal with dishonest people."
Sikong Haoqiang, who was pressed aside, heard the man Wang Long say to take him away and leave Chen Dong behind. His body heaved as if thrown into boiling water. He looked at Chen Dong angrily. He was like a mute and did not protect him. He now saw the scene of everyone running away when disaster struck.
"Uncle, take a look at this and you'll know whether you want to help us or not." Seeing that he was still wavering, Tian Xiaolan took the envelope from Director Shi's hand and showed it to Lei Zhong.
Lei Zhong read it word by word and roughly understood the information in it. It was similar to what they said. He didn't expect that so much rice and treasures in the village had been embezzled by him alone. He thought he was going to heaven!
"What are you still standing there for? Get them out of here!" Wang Long said, his eyes fixed eagerly on the envelope in Lei Zhong's hand. He said, "Lei Zhong, give me the paper. They're all liars. I'm on your side."
When Lei Zhong heard that he was going to die and was going to drag him down with him, he folded the paper and put it back into the envelope after reading it, and quickly stated his position: "You want it? I won't give it to you!"
The Wang family drove Tian Xiaolan and the others out of the village. Luo Guoqing protected Director Shi, while Tian Xiaolan and Xing Yifei each watched Chen Dong to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and rescuing him.
Lei Zhong closed his eyes, his face filled with both sadness and anger. He loudly recounted the events of the past: "Fellow villagers, during the famine a few years ago, I clearly remember there was grain stored in the village granary. But when everyone looked, it was gone. Only after reading this paper did I realize there was a giant rat in our village! It stole grain and sold it, causing the deaths of so many people. Wang Long, you black-hearted person!!!"
"Now you want to drive out the person who upholds justice for everyone. I absolutely disagree!" Thinking of the tragic situation back then, everyone could not survive even by eating tree bark and mud. Many people were coaxed by him to go to other places to work. When they went there and said they would send letters back, no one in the village showed up. It turned out that it was all his tricks.
"For so many years, you have been asking us to wait! Did you trick my girlfriend into doing hard labor somewhere?" Suddenly, a woman rushed out from the back seat, grabbed Wang Long and demanded an explanation.
She was the first to come out. Seeing that she had the courage to speak up for her family, the others thought that this leader looked like a good official. Since she dared to do so, they surrounded her one after another and talked to Director Shi about what happened back then.
Shi Shichang first calmed the people down, listened carefully to their stories, and occasionally asked a few small questions, trying to find out whether they were forced to go out to work to make a living, or whether they were introduced by Wang Long. This made people think more about the connection between them.
Some people surrounded Shi Shichang and his group. Hu Chunsheng looked at this scene and tried to pull those people apart anxiously. If Wang Long fell, he would definitely not have a good life.
Wang Long saw that those people were about to make a big fuss and were running to tell on him about his bad deeds. He thought that he should have let these bitches go to work with him and there would not be so many problems.
Luo Guoqing glanced around and found that there were indeed not many young and middle-aged people among the people who came to the banquet. Where did he take those young and middle-aged people? This is a very serious problem. The time interval is also very long. If he wants to find out, he can only find clues from Wang Long, the organizer.
He gave a wink to the man who had been following him. The man looked at his master's moving eyes, then looked at Wang Long and understood what he wanted him to do.
The situation was chaotic. Lei Zhong thought of his fellow villagers who had left their hometowns to work and didn't know what was happening. He called out to everyone, "Fellow villagers, we must unite now and protect the director for the sake of our families!"
When those people heard that Captain Lei was on their side, they immediately felt emboldened. They had originally thought their men were dead, but now a director had appeared to help them. They were determined to bring their men back, even if it meant risking their lives! With this belief, they used their hands and teeth to grab and bite to prevent the Wang family men from driving them away. This was their only hope, and they would fight anyone who dared to touch them to death!
Wang Long saw that he was about to rebel. Those crazy women had not given up after so many years and were going to fight him to the death. He felt that the situation was no longer under his control. While no one was paying attention to him, he retreated into the room, ready to take the money and run away. With money, he was not afraid of anything.
Several women were fighting with the man. Wang Cuihua watched her wedding being ruined. Tian Xiaolan had to come at this time and take away two people related to her. She was a jinx, and nothing good would happen if she met her. She looked around but didn't see her father. A man quietly sneaked into her house at the door.
Wang Cuihua followed him and found that her father was in the inner room, carrying a cloth bag on his back and preparing to run away. The man suddenly blocked the door and said, "Where are you going? Do you think you can get away?"
Wang Long held the money tightly in his arms and watched him step back. Beads of sweat appeared on his head. He racked his brains to think of how to trick him.
