As he spoke, the eastern sky was already as white as a fish maw.

Xiangzi said to Tie Dan, who had been silent, "You go to be a horse and go with me to the intersection of Santai." The shuttle bus from Qitai can be reached at noon. ”

Seeing Tie Dan leave silently, Xiangzi took off his coat from the horse, took out a small cloth bag, and dressed himself up with the help of Weiming.

When Tie Dan rode over, the sky in the distance had been burned red.

Tie Dan hurriedly dismounted, glanced at a businessman wearing a melon skin hat, a beard, and a pair of golden crystal eyes on his face, and glanced at Zhao Xiaotian suspiciously, and then looked around.

Zhao Xiaotian couldn't help but smile "hehe" and said, "Don't look for it, your brother Xiangzi has changed his career." ”

Only then did Tie Dan get closer, and shouted in surprise and admiration: "The real image is pretended, even I can't see it at a glance." ”

As soon as the sun turned white, Xiangzi and Tie Dan rushed to the intersection of Santai.

The crops on both sides of the road, the replanted crops, have dyed the gray and yellow land into patches of tender green.

A few sparrows, chirping and frolicking on the ridges, chirping non-stop. As if wishing a good harvest in autumn, he unabashedly wants to turn the fruits of other people's labor into a delicacy in his mouth.

Xiangzi handed the horse into Tiedan's hand, and said earnestly: "Keep an eye on the eldest brother, in the future, no matter what happens, you can't act rashly." We must believe in the government and the Communist Party. ”

Tie Dan nodded heavily and said, "I listen to my brother." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and stuffed a cloth bag into Shoko's coat. Xiangzi said that it was something to eat, and he didn't say anything. urged Tie Dan to go back quickly, saying that he was afraid that he would meet acquaintances and cause unnecessary trouble.

In the bumpy shuttle, Shoko didn't feel sleepy at all. He closed his eyes and recalled the stories about the Communist Party that Master had told him when he was a child, and the encounter he had with Master at the county magistrate's house in Kong. From the words, it can be seen that Master has incomparable trust and high respect for the Communist Party. From that moment on, Shoko identified with the Communist Party in her heart. Because, when he was a child, he thought that as long as it was something that was approved by the master, it could not be wrong. The master followed the Communist Party, and of course he had nothing to say.

It's just that the investigation team's behavior towards County Magistrate Kong made Xiangzi so confused that he couldn't sleep.

Although his father was framed by the government back then, he ended up with no personal wealth. But in Xiangzi's mind, he still believes that the matter of County Magistrate Kong is just a misunderstanding - because he believes in the master.

Shoko finally arrived at Dihua, a place he knew and was sad about. I got out of the car at night, and I didn't even bother to eat a bite of food, so I went straight to the provincial government.

He knew that Master was a senior official and must work in the government. But in the government compound at night, there were only the People's Liberation Army standing guard inside and outside. If you don't let you in, you don't know. I had no choice but to find a place to live to fill my stomach and sleep until dawn.

Xiangzi guarded the gate of the provincial courtyard early, watching the men and women enter the courtyard, and the figure gradually thinned out, but the figure of the master was still missing.

Shoko tried to enter the door to inquire, but was blocked by the doorman. It is said that you must have a letter of introduction or work permit to enter the door, otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter. Xiangzi was stunned and in a hurry, and there was no reason at all.

Through the observation of the people entering and exiting, Xiangzi found that all the staff in the hospital can enter and exit as if no one is in and out as long as they raise their work cards in their hands when entering and leaving. Others, on the other hand, have to register at the door before they can enter or leave.

So, Xiangzi had an idea, and all the people who gave evidence, regardless of men, women, and children, greeted him warmly and asked if he knew Huang Xing.

The sun was in the west, and Shoko was so tired that her mouth was dry and hungry. Even the muscles on his face were sore and numb with laughter, and there was still no news from the master.

When Xiangzi was at a loss, he saw the sentry at the door, beckoning to him, so he hesitated to come over. He swallowed hard in his throat and made a "squeak" sound.

Before Xiangzi could speak, the sentry smiled and said, "I see that you have been asking for a long time, it seems that you are really looking for someone." Don't be busy, go drink some water and eat something first, and I'll take you to find it later. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he was really overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't eat and drink, let's go." ”

The sentry smiled at him and said, "Look at you, I still have an hour to get off work, go!" There's no rush. ”

Shoko's heart was hot, so he turned around and left with a thousand thanks.

The sentry took Xiangzi and turned the provincial staff roster upside down, and there was no one named Huang Xing.

When the two were entangled in doubts and disappointments, a middle-aged soldier suddenly walked in. I saw the sentry, and hurriedly gave a military salute and said, "Hello Section Chief Xu!" ”

The soldier replied with a relaxed salute and said, "Didn't you change the guard, why are you still here?" So, the sentry told Xiangzi about his search for Huang Xing.

The soldier pondered for a while, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "I know that the Provincial Public Security Department has a deputy director surnamed Huang, whether it is Huang Xing, I don't know." There are a lot of military personnel retained by the public security department, so you can go there and have a look. ”

Xiangzi couldn't care that it was already off work, and according to the route pointed out by the soldiers, he quickly found the Provincial Public Security Department.

However, the result is the same. The door guard didn't know anything, and he had to wait until he went to work the next day before he could register for reception.

The situation is the same as yesterday at the gate of the government, when Xiangzi, looking at the people, walked into the compound easily and naturally, but he was simply politely blocked out of the door.

In a hurry, Shoko plans to break through. When the sentry in the courtyard saw that someone was making trouble, they rushed out three or four of them and surrounded them at the same time. Xiangzi didn't talk nonsense with them, and used the body of gossip and dragon palm, skillfully avoiding the crowd in a panic, like a fish passing through the reef forest, and in a blink of an eye, he had come to the courtyard.

Getting rid of the crowd, Xiangzi was just about to run in, but a tall and thin young military policeman was blocked, and he quickly pulled out his pistol, aimed it at Xiangzi, and shouted: "Don't move!" If I dare to break through again, I'm going to shoot. ”

The muzzle of the gun is only one step away from Shoko's head, and with his skills, he can take the opponent's gun in an instant. But he still froze there hesitantly, he was afraid of causing trouble to the master.

The soldier with the gun also seemed a little timid and nervous, and the hand holding the gun trembled slightly. Judging by the sound of his thick breathing and the faint beads of sweat on his forehead, he had not encountered a real enemy either.

Shoko glanced at him contemptuously, slowly took two steps back with a calm expression, and smiled at the man and said, "Am I just here to find someone, using a hand gun?" ”

The man's momentum seemed to have softened a little, and he glanced at Xiangzi suspiciously, and said in a cold voice: "Do you have to enter the door according to the rules to find someone, are you so blind?" What if I kill you as a bad guy? Really, just from the countryside, right? As he spoke, he slowly put away his gun.

Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Oh, yes, yes. The people in the mountains don't understand the rules and offend. ”

The man glanced at Shoko with a little displeasure, and hesitantly inserted the snatch into the holster.
