It is really unpredictable, and people have good and bad luck. With the help of his junior brother Captain Zhao, Xiangzi finally got on the bus to Xi'an, but encountered a strong wind in Dabancheng.

When the convoy was wrapped in the tumbling dust and sand, only the body of the car could be heard, and the sand particles in the dust were hit with a crisp and palpitating sound like fried beans.

The wind blew for three days and two nights, and it was really, covering the sky and the moon, flying sand and rocks.

Listening to the movement of the wind and sand, Xiangzi tried to open the car door, intending to get out of the car to take a look, but was frightened to the face of the earth, and the driver, who was still trembling, was dragged by him.

The driver was frightened and frustrated, and said, "Open the door and we're done!" ”

Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said, "This place in Daban City is a famous outlet. In previous years, we used camel carts to carry goods, and when we saw the limelight, we would lie down in low-lying places to avoid the wind. Sitting in the car, I couldn't see the change of the weather clearly, and I listened to the strength of the wind, as if I was overdone, and I was worried about the goods in the car. With that, he opened the car door and jumped off.

The remnant wind still squinted, and the gusts of fine sand touched the face, making people feel hot and uncomfortable.

Shoko quickly glanced at the cotton bales on the three cars, and the tarpaulins of one of the cars were torn to shreds by the wind, and half of the goods were unloaded. Take a closer look at the car body, the grass-green canopy has been mottled by the wind and sand.

Shoko opened the car door, poked her head in and said, "It's not much of a problem, only one car is missing goods." ”

The driver, who had been curled up in the car, heard that there was a shortage of goods, and immediately cried out with a sad face: "Mom! What can I do, how can I explain it to the owner? ”

Xiangzi saw that he looked like a mother, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I'll go and look around, maybe I can find it." ”

Due to the construction of the road, many large potholes were left on both sides of the road, but there were a few bales of cotton, which fell into the pits and were not carried away by the wind.

Xiangzi ran forward for a while with great interest, and in front of him was the endless Gobi, paved with stones that had been blackened and shiny by the sun.

The wind stopped, and the astute sparrows, too, began to sing songs of hunger, and flew towards places that only they were familiar with.

Shoko returned to the car and saw the drivers dragging their hungry and tired bodies, sorting out and counting the goods in the car. Seeing Xiangzi come back, the driver of the same car hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What's the matter?" Did you see it? ”

Xiangzi took a breath and said, "There are a few packs in the pit ahead, I don't know if there are enough of them." ”

The driver was immediately overjoyed and said, "You are so capable!" It seems that I have the right piggyback, and I will invite you to dinner at the front. ”

After more than ten days of bumpy roads, Xiangzi finally arrived in Lanzhou. He couldn't care about the fatigue of the journey, and according to the address given by Captain Zhao, he came to the office of the municipal party committee as soon as it was dawn.

With the letter of introduction from his junior brother, Xiangzi successfully found Vice Mayor Huang's office. But it was not the master who received him, but the secretary Xiao Zhang.

After reading the letter of introduction, Xiao Zhang enthusiastically poured a glass of water for Xiangzi, looked regretful, and said: "Oh, it's really unfortunate that you came, Vice Mayor Huang went to Beijing for a meeting, and he won't be back until next month." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he was anxious, and he choked on the water in his mouth, and after a rapid cough, Xiangzi blushed and said anxiously: "What can you do, why do you open for so many days?" ”

Secretary Zhang smiled mildly and said: "It's an agricultural science and technology popularization meeting, and the meeting is not long, but after the meeting, I will go to several provinces to observe and study, and I don't know the specific schedule." ”

Xiangzi muttered a little uneasily: "What can I do, what can I do?" ”

Seeing Xiangzi's anxious look, Secretary Zhang asked tentatively, "Are you in a hurry to find Vice Mayor Huang?" ”

Xiangzi shouted with an uneasy expression: "Human life is a matter of heaven, human life is a matter of heaven." ”

Secretary Zhang smiled helplessly and said, "There is no other way, you have to wait patiently." Even if you rush to Beijing now, you may not be able to see him. Otherwise, I'll arrange for you to stay in a government guest house first, and I'll let you know as soon as I have news. ”

Xiangzi had no choice but to say thank you, and then, listlessly, followed Secretary Zhang out the door.

Some things are as if there is a force in the dark that is working against you. The sooner you try to get the result, the more it will go wrong.

Xiangzi waited in Lanzhou like pins and needles for nearly a month, and finally waited for the master to return. After getting the handwritten order, he couldn't even take care of a reunion dinner, so he hurried back.

Along the way, I took a ride while walking, and after a month, I finally arrived in Dihua. Counting up, it has been half a year since Xiangzi left Fuyuan.

As soon as he got to work in the morning, Secretary Wang was furious and rushed into Team Leader Zhao's office. Pointing at his nose and yelling, "Who told you to carry me behind my back and post the poster?" Who said I agreed! You simply take over all the work of the county party committee. Anyway, I've been made a decoration by you! ”

Team Leader Zhao hurriedly put on a smiling face and said, "I can't help it, the above is urgent, the case has been included in the list of typical cases, but the prisoner is still alive." If you let the above know, how can you explain it?

After discussing with you several times, you insisted on waiting for Guo Guixiang to be arrested and sentenced together. It's been half a year, Guo Guixiang seems to have been blown away by the wind, there is no news, there is really no way, I just asked Director Jia to arrange a notice in your name. I'm doing this for your own good, so that I don't have to blame you from above. ”

Secretary Wang slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Fart! What's urging tightly, you are obviously earnest, afraid of long nights and dreams. I couldn't wait to understand the case. But you must not forget that this is not only because human lives are at stake, but also because the peaceful insurgents and democrats have a bearing on their understanding of the party and the government. Once an unjust, false and wrongly decided case is made, it is bound to have an extremely bad impact on society. I'm doing this for you! lest you be condemned by your conscience for the rest of your life because of your own selfish interests! ”

Team Leader Zhao waved his hand conceitedly and said, "Okay, okay." You don't need to say anything, I have been approved by the above for the public trial. If you have any objections, you can call this number directly. As he spoke, he handed Secretary Wang a note with a string of numbers written in advance.

Secretary Wang squeezed the note tightly in the palm of his hand, glanced at Team Leader Zhao with a pair of tiger eyes, snorted coldly, and walked out with some stiff steps.

The public trial meeting was held as scheduled, and all those who could come from Fuyuan urban and rural areas came. When the judge finished reading out Kong Qingwen's crime, the audience was in an uproar.

The people never dreamed that the good county magistrate in their hearts was actually a deeply hidden counter-revolutionary leader of the Red Gang.

The whispers of the crowd stopped abruptly in the crisp sound of gunfire. After a short period of surprise and fear, the people on the field, each with different moods, gradually dispersed.

Only the cries of the relatives of the Kong family still filled the semi-cloudy sky with the light wind.
