For several days, the son of the bandit Usman, Sheldman, gathered the remnants and infiltrated Nanshan. and some small bandits, colluded together, and committed large-scale robberies in the area of Guangquanzi in Xindi.

Even in broad daylight, they dare to blatantly haunt the countryside and fields. stirred up the local area, and the people's hearts were panicked and miserable.

For this reason, the county party committee and the county government have studied and decided to form a brigade to suppress bandits from the existing militia and police. Although it is impossible to completely exterminate the bandits with the existing manpower and equipment, it must also play a role in knocking out the mountains and shaking the tiger, so that the bandits will not dare to act recklessly.

At the same time, organize local hunters, restore the Self-Defense Forces, cooperate with the anti-bandit brigade, and act in unison. Of course, this burden naturally fell on Shoko's shoulders.

Fortunately, Shuzhen has suffered from the wind and cold these days, and her body is uncomfortable, so she has to tell her thousands of instructions and let Xiangzi go alone.

It's strange to say that on this trip, Xiangzi always has an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart. After thinking about it, he still let Xiaohu stay at home on the grounds that Shuzhen was unwell.

In April, in the north, although it is not yet the season of full bloom, there are occasionally one or two bold weeds in the thick grass, and they are the first to bloom particularly eye-catching flowers.

County Magistrate Kong and Secretary Wang led the leading cadres of relevant departments to ride horses around the county seat and inspect the peasants' preparations for farming.

This year's spring is cold, and the diligent people only plough the ground and don't dare to plant. The vegetable gardens that have been planted are covered with horse manure and wheat straw, and they are afraid that the vegetable seedlings will be killed by the frost in the early morning.

When the group returned to the county, it was already the sun in the west, and the sun was weak. Although they were tired, they could hear the good news of the bandits coming from the mountains, and everyone was suddenly excited.

It turned out that Xiangzi skillfully organized two ambushes in Guangquanzi, Xindi, and eliminated more than a dozen bandits, not to mention, but also drove all the remnants of the bandits to the back mountain, not daring to show their faces. In the mountainous countryside, the former calm has returned.

County Magistrate Kong, who was happily talking about Xiangzi's ability, walked in with a rush of footsteps and walked into three young people who looked like cadres.

The slender and tall young man with willow eyes and a frosty face at the head was also in his early thirties.

I saw him look capable, came to Secretary Wang, took out the letter of introduction from his briefcase, respectfully handed it to Secretary Wang, and said, "My name is Zhao Jun, and I am the leader of the investigation team sent by the province. Now, I want to talk to Secretary Wang alone. ”

Secretary Wang hurriedly glanced at the letter of introduction and hurriedly beckoned them to take a seat. County Magistrate Kong glanced at the visitor suspiciously, greeted him kindly, and walked out of the county party committee office with some hesitation.

Only Secretary Wang was left in the room, and a young man who came with him was vigilantly guarding the door.

At this time, Team Leader Zhao took out a document and said with a stern expression: "According to the confession of the leader of the Red Gang who was captured in Qitai, Kong Qingwen is the mastermind of this counterrevolutionary riot.

Therefore, the province sent three of us to form an investigation team to strictly investigate the case, and directly report the relevant investigation results to the province, asking Secretary Wang to cooperate closely and support. ”

When Wang Changtai heard this, his heart was suddenly shocked. Based on his observation and understanding, County Magistrate Kong would never be involved in this matter.

So, after a slight hesitation, he said, "Is there a mistake?" Since the establishment of the government, the county magistrate Kong has been very active in his work. He had made outstanding contributions to the work of building a government and collecting grain and suppressing bandits, so how could he be the mastermind of the counter-revolutionary riots? ”

Team Leader Zhao looked disapproving, and said: "The more insidious the enemy, the deeper he will hide himself. You must not be fooled by his superficial appearances, but you must keep your eyes open and resolutely dig out the reactionary elements lurking in the ranks of the revolution. ”

Wang Changtai sighed abruptly and said, "You can't easily convict people based on the confession of a prisoner, right?" What if a criminal deliberately frames a revolutionary comrade? ”

Team Leader Zhao waved his hand conceitedly and said, "If you want to talk about framing, why didn't people frame me and frame you, but him?"

Besides, people are good at their words. He's a death row prisoner, does he use it to bite people indiscriminately? He repented and found out in his conscience before he told the truth.

Tomorrow, I will take the relevant people to Fuyuan, and after I personally interrogate them, I will have my own conclusion. ”

Wang Changtai wanted to say something, but he saw Team Leader Zhao wave his hand decisively and said, "Okay, let's talk about it here today." The content of today's conversation is limited to the four of us. ”

Wang Changtai, even though his heart was full of questions and dissatisfaction, he could only swallow it back, who made the family Qincha?

After secretly interrogating the criminals, Team Leader Zhao came to Secretary Wang's office again.

Retreating left and right, Team Leader Zhao looked extremely excited and said, "Everyone has made all the moves." It turned out that this Kong Qingwen had joined the Red Gang a few years ago, and he had hidden it deep enough, and if it hadn't been for these two people to confess the truth, I am afraid that they would have caused even greater losses to the revolutionary work in the future. ”

Secretary Wang glanced at him suspiciously, looking not too enthusiastic, and said, "Two criminals, have you been to Fuyuan before?" ”

Team Leader Zhao said without thinking: "Five years ago, I was doing business in Fuyuan, and I was half a Fuyuan person. ”

Secretary Wang muttered thoughtfully: "No wonder they will bite County Magistrate Kong. ”

Team Leader Zhao frowned and shouted, "What do you mean by indiscriminate biting?" The two of them have the same word, and they are telling the truth, I think there is a problem with your position. ”

When Secretary Wang heard this, his eyes widened, he grabbed his hat angrily, slammed it on the table, and shouted: "Say that I have a problem with my position? When Lao Tzu carried a gun to fight Japan, you still wore open crotch pants. Only a few days after the revolution? They can't help but button people's hats indiscriminately. ”

When Team Leader Zhao saw that Secretary Wang was angry, he immediately made a relaxed expression and said, "I'm sorry Secretary Wang, it's me who is in a hurry." I beg your pardon for saying the wrong thing. ”

There was silence in the room for a while, and Team Leader Zhao's attitude softened a little, saying, "Of course, there are many details that need to be further implemented." We plan to secretly search Kong Qingwen's office tomorrow, hoping to find strong evidence against him. Tomorrow morning, you leave Kong Qingwen to talk about things, and we will take the opportunity to do it. An hour is enough. ”

Secretary Wang hesitated slightly, and said contemplatively: "Won't it seem too abrupt to do this?" ”

Team Leader Zhao said with a disapproving look: "I didn't search in front of him, I already showed mercy to him." ”

Secretary Wang saw that Team Leader Zhao was no longer so arrogant, so he nodded softly and agreed.

Unexpectedly, this search not only did not find evidence favorable to Kong Qingwen, but unexpectedly turned out physical evidence that was even more unfavorable to him. This not only made him worse, but also added to the crime.
