Saying that, Zhu Ziye raised his head, looked at Duan Zetao with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Don't underestimate this ordinary gong, it has made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan!" When the brigade commander came to Xie Jiaao with the troops, we rang this gong to greet him, and the troops needed military rations and materials for transfer, as long as I rang this gong, the villagers would rush to save the dry food and bedding squeezed out of thrift and send them to me, and the troops wanted to recruit new soldiers, as long as I rang this gong, the stick guys in the village would rush to me to sign up for the ......."

Duan Zetao's heart also set off waves, what a simple common people, they selflessly sacrificed and even gave their lives to fight against foreign invaders, the revolution was successful, the motherland was liberated, they should have lived a happy and happy life, but those high-ranking bureaucrats did not pay attention to their sufferings at all, and also harmed their interests together with those profiteers, which undoubtedly greatly hurt their trust and feelings for the government, and it is no wonder that even Zhu Ziye, an old hero of the anti-Japanese resistance, has such deep hostility and prejudice towards government officials.

Thinking of this, Duan Zetao bowed deeply to Lord Zhuzi, and said sincerely: "Lord Zhuzi, on behalf of the government, I apologize to you, apologize to the villagers of Xie Jiaao, you have paid so much for the motherland, without you there would be no where we are today, the government did not care enough about you in the past, I promise you, I will definitely help you uphold justice and let you live a happy life!" ……”。

Lord Zhu smiled even more happily, waved his hand very proudly, and shouted to the pillar on the side, "Zhuzi, bring the gong and mallet, the mallet!" ……”。

"When! While! While! ......", the crisp and thick gong sound resounded throughout Xiejiaao, and the younger generation of villagers couldn't figure out the situation, why did Zhu Ziye beat the gong in a good manner? ! The older generation of Xie Jiaao villagers all knew what the gong meant, and they all stood up excitedly, walked out tremblingly with crutches on the pillar, and shouted as they walked with tears in their eyes: "The gong has sounded!" The gong is ringing! Our Eighth Route Army is back! ……”。

There were also old people who were already sick in bed, dying, and when they heard the sound of the gong, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they struggled to get their children and grandchildren to quickly help themselves up to meet the Eighth Route Army.

There are villagers of the younger generation who don't understand, "Grandpa, you're old and confused, what era is it now, where is there any Eighth Route Army?!" ......", before he finished speaking, the old man's crutches smashed down, "You know a fart!" This gong hasn't sounded for sixty years, and the gong is in charge of the pillar lord himself, and now this gong is ringing again, isn't it the Eighth Route Army coming?! ……”。

When it comes to the pillar, the young people don't dare to make a sound, the pillar is so powerful that they have seen it, once a buffalo in the village went crazy, and when he saw people, several villagers were injured, and the pillar lord came, and he went up and knocked down the crazy buffalo with a palm, if the palm hit himself, nine lives were not enough to fight, so he honestly supported the old man at home and went out, and followed the sound of the gong to the top of the mountain where the pillar lived and gathered over.

After a while, the top of the mountain was full of villagers from Xie Jiaao Village, the huge cement roof could not stand, the most excited was the small pillar, his family had never been so lively, and he took his friends to drill around in the crowd excitedly.

The villagers came to the top of the mountain only to see Zhu Ziye and a strange young man, and the mountain people who had besieged Duan Zetao before also recognized him at a glance that he was the young official, so they all looked at Zhu Ziye suspiciously, Zhu Ziye has always disliked dealing with government cadres, one year a deputy county magistrate in the county came to condolence the old heroes of the anti-Japanese resistance, but was bombarded out by Zhu Ziye without giving face, today Zhu Ziye is so excited to gather everyone here, is it the sun coming out of the west?!

Zhu Ziye saw the doubts of the villagers, so he waved his hand and said excitedly: "Fellow villagers, do you still remember Brigade Commander Xiao?!" ......", an old man in the front row who was still strong replied loudly: "Why don't you remember?!" Back then, it was Brigade Commander Xiao who was stationed in the area of Xie Jiaao with the Eighth Route Army, and the devils were terrified, and they didn't dare to come here, so we suffered a lot of crimes! I also helped Brigade Commander Xiao feed the horses back then! ……”。

"Haha! Old Li, your old immortal memory is not bad! I still remember the events of so many years so clearly! ......", Zhu Ziye pointed at the old man and joked, waved his big hand, pointed at Duan Zetao and said excitedly: "Do you know who he is?" He is the grandson of Brigadier Xiao, and now he is the governor of our Xishan Province! It was Brigade Commander Xiao who sent him to give us Xie Jiao Village to administer justice! There is hope for our days! ……”。

The villagers were also excited, what a big official the governor was! If the governor is willing to help them administer justice, there will be real hope for that day, although the younger villagers are still a little skeptical, but Zhu Ziye is full of words in Xie Jiaao Village, what he said must be true, so they all looked at Duan Zetao eagerly.

At this time, the crowd said, "Wow! Someone howled and cried, the villagers followed the prestige of the past, the crying person is the lonely old man in the village Xie Grandma, Xie Grandma's wife died more than 20 years ago, she worked hard to pull the two sons alone, seeing that the two sons have grown into a tall and big stick guy, it is said that Grandma Xie can enjoy the blessings at home, but the family is too poor, the two sons can not marry a daughter-in-law, so they had to go to Xie Jiaao Coal Mine to work, as a result, there was a mining disaster, both sons were buried under the mine, never came back, One person in the mine lost 50,000 yuan and didn't care anymore.

Grandma Xie went to the government to file a complaint, but those government cadres and coal mine bosses were in collusion and refused to accept it at all, saying: "50,000 yuan is a lot!" Your two sons are 100,000 yuan, how long will it take for you to earn 100,000 yuan as an old woman! Be content! ……”。

"Lord Qingtian, you have to help me avenge my grievances! My son died a terrible death! ......", Grandma Xie was helped by the villagers and walked tremblingly in front of Duan Zetao, and she actually wanted to kneel down for Duan Zetao on the spot!

Duan Zetao hurriedly supported Grandma Xie and said sincerely: "Grandma, our work has not been done well, you have been wronged, don't worry, if you have any grievances, just tell me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" ……”。

After listening to Grandma Xie's crying, Duan Zetao was furious, "What a bastard!" Have all the consciences of these people been eaten by dogs?! This kind of thing can be said, such a person is also worthy of being a government cadre?! Grandma, when the time comes, you point out those people, and I will remove them! ……”。
