Soon after Zhang Xinjie's death, the gangsters in the entire Yunze area were basically sorted out, and the director of the public security bureau, Li Changlong, was collectively voted on at a meeting to agree to his resignation as director of the bureau, and the new director was replaced by deputy director Hong Xingang.

The transfer of the rest of the officials has also undergone minor changes, with a few fewer old people and a few more newcomers, and the matter has slowly calmed down.

After paying a batch of fines, Yuan Lingqi was released from the detention center, and when it came to the Chinese New Year, some investigations against Shanhai Construction Company were also closed, and no one mentioned the company's qualifications and project quality, and everything returned to the original trajectory.

Less than two years after Zhang Xinjie came to the Yunze area, he left behind a paper mill, a fertilizer factory, a pesticide factory, and a life.

After leaving in a very uncertain way, the factories he left behind were taken over by a young man named Zhang Xinnian, who was Zhang Xinjie's younger brother.

Compared with Zhang Xinjie, this Zhang Xinnian's temperament is much calmer, his appearance is not so ugly, and his brother's aggressiveness is less; he just focuses on the three factories left by Zhang Xinjie, and no longer develops to other industries.

But the current situation is that after Zhang Xin's year, the paper mill is still open, sewage is still flowing every day, the Hongqi River is still stinking, and the villagers along the way are still suffering from it.

Guan Xiaojun can't control the victimization of others, but the people in his own village and classmates are poisoned by such a stench, Guan Xiaojun is really unbearable.

In fact, according to his current family conditions, Guan Yunshan can transfer all their sisters and brothers to Yunze City to go to school, and they don't need to go to school in the township middle school of Fengshan Township at all.

But Guan Yang is now approaching the critical moment of the high school entrance examination, Guan Yunshan does not dare to rashly transfer her to the middle school in the city, and Guan Xiaojun does not want to leave Fengshan Township too early, because Guan Hongda and his wife are now a little unable to adapt to life in the city, and returned to Guandimiao Village. Guan Xiaojun was reluctant to leave them.

Now Guan Hongda after retiring, finally found what he is interested in, he decided to sell herbal tea seriously, not the kind of petty selling, but want to build a factory, large-scale sales, but this idea has only been formed, has not been implemented, the brick kiln factory is actually enough for him to be busy.

Just before Zhang Xinjie's death, a rumor began to spread in the Yunze area, and even the villagers of Guandimiao Village were passing it on to each other.

"Oh, I've heard that!"

On a Sunday morning, Guan Xiaojun's aunt and elementary school teacher, Guan Hongye, was chatting with Guan Xiaojun's grandmother Wang Xinfeng in a fuss, looking extremely angry, "Some experts have said that the stinky water of our Hongqi River is similar to poison, and if it smells like this, people will live a short life of ten years! The dolls born are either disabled or sick!"

She slapped her slap and shouted loudly: "I just found out today that this stinky water is flowing out of the paper mill! As soon as this factory is completed, the feng shui of our entire Yunze area has been suppressed! Look at how many people have been sick in the past few years? How many dolls have died? This person who opened the factory has made money and has a bad conscience!"

She said to the excitement and slapped her thigh, "This kind of factory must be stopped, otherwise we ordinary people will have to die!"

Wang Xinfeng thought about what happened during this time, and at this time, the tip of his nose smelled a faint stench, and immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, the people who opened the factory are not good things, this is a matter of cutting off children and grandchildren!"

Guan Hongye whispered: "Let me tell you, the person who opened the paper mill has now suffered retribution, let people kill him, and the one who died is called a miserable one, he was chopped dozens of times, and he is about to become a dumpling filling!"

Wang Xinfeng suddenly remembered, "What you said, I remember, are you talking about a person named Zhang Xinjie? When he was killed, I was still in the city, this person is not a good person, he squeezed my family Yunshan into drunkenness, crying and making trouble, I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

Guan Hongye said: "Yes, it's him! If you do too much bad work, you will be punished! But now that this paper mill is still open, everyone is very worried, afraid of being smoked to death by the stinky water of this paper mill." If we die, it's fine, but if we're sick, it's bad, who will treat us?"

The present era is an era in which gossip is rampant and rumors are flying all over the sky, and it is a special era in which the whole people are crazy, hot-headed, and collectively reduce their intelligence.

At this time, the gossip information has a greater influence than the propaganda of government departments, especially the remarks of some qigong masters and the words of some experts and professors, whose authority is greater than that of the mayor.

These words said by Guan Hongye are circulating in the villages of the entire Yunze area, and the more they say it, the more outrageous it becomes, some say that this is because outsiders want to destroy the feng shui of the Yunze area, and specially built such a paper mill on the longan in the Yunze area. And the Hongqi River is the green dragon in the Yunze area, and now the dragon's eye is fixed, and the dragon's body is more polluted than the black water, so everyone began to get sick on a large scale, and some incomprehensible evil things began to appear.

For example, a two-headed snake was found, whose rooster laid eggs, this is a terrible thing, haven't you heard of it, roosters lay eggs, the world is in chaos! This paper mill has destroyed and absorbed the good fortune of the people in the entire Yunze area, so this abnormal phenomenon occurs!

Rumors are such a thing, three people become tigers, not to mention in the eighties and nineties, even after more than thirty years, there is still room for its survival, and many years later, the people's resistance to rumors is not much higher than that of the people at this time.

Guan Hongye is like this now, after hearing the rumors about the paper mill, he felt very angry, so he asked Wang Xinfeng to say these words.

She is so excited for an old woman, not to mention other young men with strong blood, the hatred for the paper mill has already existed, and now under the stimulation of rumors, it has begun to take root and sprout, and it is gradually about to blossom and bear fruit.

At the end of the year, the only paper mill in the Yunze area was rushed into the gate by thousands of angry people around it, smashing all the machines inside, and then a fire set the factory on fire, burning the entire paper mill.

This incident caused a lot of uproar, and reporters from the province rushed to interview the matter when they heard the news. Although the interview was not sent out and was not reported on the news, Zhang Xinnian's paper mill could no longer be opened.

When Guan Xiaojun's winter vacation was over and he went to school with his sister, Zhang Xinyuan began to evacuate the paper mill from the Yunze area and decided to move the paper mill to other areas, while the fertilizer factory and pesticide factory were not affected.

On the way to school, Guan Xiaojun deliberately stood by the Hongqi River for a while, looking at the river water, which was still dark and smelly, but the color was much lighter, which showed that the sewage was gradually decreasing.

Guan Xiaojun stood by the river with his hands in his hands, looked at the crooked river, and suddenly laughed, "One day the dark clouds are gone!"

Guan Yang, who stopped by the river, knew that his younger brother was going crazy again and saying something inexplicable.
