Chapter 206 Finding the Mission Target
Chapter 206 Finding the Mission Target
Tu Shan didn't expect that Shi Qiushou, who looked honest and simple, was such a character in the mouth of the gangster.
"Expand and tell me."
"Ahem," Mao Song patted his clothes, looked around, and lowered his voice: "The brigade next door is upstream, and our brigade is downstream. The irrigation water source for both brigades depends on the river outside the village.
There was a drought last summer and the fields were short of water. In order to ensure that their fields had enough water, the neighboring brigade directly cut off the river water, resulting in our brigade having no water at all.
Seeing that the rice crop was about to be damaged and the yield would be reduced, he secretly instigated the villagers to go to the next brigade to cause trouble. The riot was so fierce that blood was shed.
He just watched from the side, and when the situation got out of control, he stepped in as a peacemaker and said that both parties were at fault and that the matter should be settled. He even took the initiative to pay some medical expenses for those who were seriously injured.
At that time, the people from the neighboring brigade also accepted it and felt that he was very fair. They promised not to cut off the water supply again, and the matter was over.
As a result, Shi Qiushou anonymously reported the captain of the neighboring brigade, accusing him of abusing his power for personal gain, extorting money, and other miscellaneous crimes. There were so many charges against him that the captain of the neighboring brigade was taken away immediately.
After investigation, it was found that the team leader did use his position to give his family members some conveniences during his tenure, such as doing easy work, being the first in line when receiving benefits, and always adding his family members' names when receiving praise.
Anyway, they are just small favors that are not worth anything. Any captain would do them. Everyone knows it, but no one will say it out loud and make themselves uncomfortable.
Those charges would definitely not lead to a long jail term, and the person was eventually released, but he lost his job as team leader. The reason was that during the time he was under investigation, no one handled village affairs, causing a lot of trouble. This was his responsibility, and he was not qualified to continue serving as team leader. Moreover, he had been in jail and had a stain on his record, which would bring discredit to the team.
Moreover, it would be fine if his minor mistakes were not exposed, but if they were, they would become a handle for others to target them.
It seemed like the villagers really knew for the first time that their team leader was a person who abused his power for personal gain and sought benefits for himself. The whole village collectively opposed him and had a lot of opinions about him.
Now the whole family is ostracized by the people in the brigade and life is very hard.
We all privately guessed that someone must have been behind this, otherwise the villagers wouldn't have openly targeted us."
Tu Shan raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that this method was indeed very dirty.
I didn't realize that the honest farmer had such ability.
But people who do this kind of thing will definitely be very careful, otherwise their fate will be worse than that of the person being reported.
Mao Song actually knew.
"How do you know? Is it true?"
Mao Song patted his chest and assured, "It's absolutely true, Auntie. People have their own ways, and ghosts have their own ways. I can't tell you how I got this information."
Tu Shan snorted, but did not inquire about his ghost ways.
"Tell me more about who has left the team recently, how long they've been away, where they've been, and what they've been doing."
Mao Song thought for a moment and said, "Quite a few people left. In the past two weeks, three women have returned to their parents' homes. The farthest one is in the next commune, and the closest one is in the next brigade. They all left and returned the same day.
Old man Lu broke his leg eight days ago. His family members were kind enough to beg for money and sent him to the county for treatment. He was treated for three days and is still lying at home.
The Song family's rascal is a second-rate guy who never comes home all day long. He hangs out in the commune and town, and disappears every few days.
But that guy is a piece of shit, of no use at all, at most he can be a minion, used by others to disgust others."
Tu Shan looked at him with a half-smile: "Song family kid and you are in the same industry, the competition between the same industry is quite big, right?"
Mao Song quickly distanced herself from the matter: "Auntie, I'm a serious farmer, not a scoundrel. Although my work is not so good, I'm not a scoundrel. Really, I'm not the same kind of person as the Song family kid."
Tu Shan, hehe, I don’t believe you at all. Can a gangster admit that he is a gangster?
"And that's all?"
Mao Song's eyes rolled around: "That's all we have on the surface."
Tu Shan understood that this kid was itching to do something again.
But she is not Zhou Baopi, and she cannot use the coercive policy all the time. She still has to use some conciliatory policies.
He took out ten yuan and handed it to Mao Song: "What about secretly?"
Mao Song's eyes lit up and he quickly put the money into his pocket, fearing that Tu Shan would go back on her word.
Tu Shan sneered. If she regretted it, she would have to spit it out even if she ate it, not only by putting it in her pocket.
"Auntie, there are three of them secretly. One is Old Man Shi's youngest son, who often sneaks into the city to buy things on the black market. He is a brave boy with brains, and he has made a lot of money in the black market over the years.
Even Old Man Shi didn't know about this, the little bastard kept it a secret.
He kept all the money he earned and never spent a penny. He was a stingy country rooster and a miser.
There was also Widow Liu. That woman was restless and would go to the city every few days under the pretext of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to find a mistress. She used the money from the prostitution to eat and drink lavishly and made herself fat and white. She didn't care about the starving child left by her blind mother-in-law and her husband at home. Women were the most vicious.
The last one is Ma Zi. Ma Zi is short and ugly, with a face full of pockmarks that looks like a big lotus root slice, full of holes.
That guy has no parents, his family is extremely poor, he is over forty years old, and he still has no wife.
He worked silently all day long, looking gloomy and no one had the patience to pay attention to him.
But this guy has a woman he loves but cannot have. It is said that she is a woman from the neighboring commune who spoke up for him when he was bullied by other kids when he was a child.
The woman was as beautiful as a fairy, and the men who pursued her lined up from the neighboring commune to our commune. In order to get a high price, her family sold her to the provincial capital to be a concubine of an old widower.
The old widower's sons are older than the woman, and his life is very difficult.
After Ma Zi found out, he kept some things at home and gave them to the woman. He did this for more than ten years. Wow, everyone in our team praised him as a lovesick man.
But I am the only one who knows that the woman was not sold, but chose the man herself. Not two years after she got married, the old widower died. She had an affair with her stepson and fought with her cheap daughter-in-law at home every day. The family was in chaos.
Ma Zi is just the one among her many cash cows that she despises the most. She looks down on Ma Zi, but is reluctant to give up the things that Ma Zi has. She has been coaxing people to give him things for more than ten years. He is definitely not a simple character.
The important thing is that Ma Zi went out a few days ago and no one knew about it, and most of the time when he went out, no one knew about it.
Sometimes when people found out, I would use that woman as an excuse and no one would suspect me.
Although I don't know what he did secretly, I know that he definitely didn't just go out to look for that woman."
pock?
Tu Shan had never seen such an infatuated man.
"Do you know who that woman married? Where is her home?"
"Well..." Mao Song scratched the back of his head. "Auntie, well, the provincial capital is too far away. The most I know about is what's going on in the county town."
Tu Shan looked at him and he certainly didn't seem to be lying: "Alright, don't say anything nonsense when I ask you, understand?"
