Chapter 336, coercion
Early the next morning, Ding Xiu was about to say goodbye to Li Xiong's wife and daughter, and he took Xiaomi to the door of Li Xiong's house [Youyou Reading xt.xyz], but saw that the door was open and there was no one in the house.
"What about their family?" Ding Xiu found a family next door and asked.
"Is your name Ding Xiu?" The man looked at Ding Xiu and Xiaomi, and when he saw Ding Xiu nodded, he said, "Liu Qin and her three daughters have gone to Mingyue Gorge. ”
"Go to Mingyue Gorge?!" Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, "What are you going to do there?" ”
"I don't know, early in the morning, Officer Jiang brought someone over, picked them up, and then told us to tell you the news when you came."
"Damn!" Ding Xiu's face sank instantly, combined with what happened in the town government building last night, he almost guessed the other party's plan.
This is a lure, it must be coerced.
He hurriedly got into the car with millet, and then went straight to Mingyue Gorge.
On the side of Mingyue Gorge, Bai Shouxian and Jiang Dian's convoy had arrived at the mouth of the valley, and everyone got out of the car, carrying Liu Qin's mother and daughter.
"Mayor Bai, what crime have we committed that you want to arrest us here?" When Liu Qin came to the place where her deceased husband had an accident, she was inevitably sad in her heart, but at the moment she was more angry.
"You didn't sin, but your husband Li Xiong is." Jiang Dian stood up and said.
"Li Xiong and the others are gone, what can he be guilty of? If he had not taken your life, why would he have perished here, and in the end you would have said that he was guilty? Liu Qin's face was full of anger, and her heart was full of grief and indignation. The three daughters were behind her, and they couldn't cry.
"We suspect that he, together with Ding Xiu, is harboring loot that needs to be handed over." Jiang Dian said, and glanced at the road behind him again, he gave Li Xiong and Ding Xiu a crime, but the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
After Ding Xiu left last night, he got another news from the people who came to Mingyue Gorge during the day, that is, after Ding Xiu exchanged the carcasses of the flying foxes he brought back for a bounty, he took them all and gave them to Li Xiong's widow.
Jiang Dian thought about it, so he planned to start with Liu Qin and her three daughters to blackmail Ding Xiu.
Jiang Dian and his own people didn't dare to enter the fox-bat cave in Mingyue Gorge, because the few unlucky guys who had touched it before were gone, and Li Xiong and the others also died yesterday. However, Ding Xiu was able to bring back the corpse of the flying fox, and he felt that this kid must have hidden something to deal with the mutated flying fox.
"Harboring loot that needs to be turned in? How can it be! You can go to my house and search for it! Liu Qin lost her relatives, and now she is slandered again, and she is very emotional: "My family is so poor that I don't even have money for my children to go to school, how can I hide your things." ”
"It's because I'm poor." Jiang Dian smiled "hehe" and said sarcastically: "Haven't you heard the saying 'poor people are treacherous and have a rich conscience'?" ”
"This village woman, don't make noise with her." Bai Shouxian glanced at Liu Qin, very impatient, "Ding Xiu will receive the news, right?" ”
"Definitely, that kid is a fool who values love and righteousness, I won't be wrong." Jiang Dian nodded, and he described Ding Xiu's affectionate behavior with the word "stupid", and as he spoke, there was a look of contempt on his face.
Everyone waited here for a while, and finally saw a car in the distance.
"Is that him?" Bai Shouxian stretched his fat neck and waited.
"It's him, it's him." Jiang Dian recognized that it was Ding Xiu's car, and said excitedly: "It's finally here." ”
"Everyone, get ready." After receiving the confirmation, Bai Shouxian gave an order, and the people he brought over immediately waited for him.
Ding Xiu's car drove close and saw that Liu Qin's mother and daughter were indeed brought here by Bai Shouxian, Jiang Dian and others. He motioned for Millet to sit in the car and get out of the car himself.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Ding Xiu asked Liu Qin.
"The mayor said that my man and you harbored the loot that needs to be handed over......" Liu Qin couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Ding Xiu, her hands were tied, and she had to let the tears flow.
"Let go!" Ding Xiu roared at Bai Shouxian and Jiang Dian.
"If you want us to release people, you have to hand over the things." Jiang Dian gestured to his subordinates as he spoke, and those people immediately raised their guns, some pointed their guns at Ding Xiu, and some at Liu Qin's mother and daughter.
"What's that?" As soon as the other party's posture came out, Ding Xiu was a little jealous and didn't dare to move.
"You know." Jiang Dian said.
"Crystal nucleus?" Ding Xiu knew that they wanted this thing as soon as he guessed. "You know each other." Bai Shouxian nodded.
"Are you planning to rob it?" Ding Xiu's heart was a little angry, he didn't expect Bai Shouxian and Jiang Dian, as the parents of the same place, to commit robbers, which was a bit subverting his perception of the government.
In fact, after the nuclear war, the world order has long collapsed, although most countries have begun to focus on rectification, but due to various factors, the central government's control over many remote areas is very weak, and the management is somewhat beyond the reach of the whip. Out of the consideration of "choosing the lesser of two evils", the central government has no choice but to delegate power to the localities, and in the absence of supervision, corruption can easily breed in the soil of such an environment.
The town of Maping, which is run by Bai Shouxian, is a living example.
In his early years, Bai Shouxian was still an honest official, and he led the people to work in the local reclamation and settle down. Later, after marrying Jiang Dian's sister, under the strings of this brother-in-law, his pursuits and ideals slowly began to deteriorate. Until today, in addition to his brain and fat body, how can he still have the vigor of the past.
"That's right, it's a robbery." Jiang Dian was a lot of people, and his tone was very sassy, "I called you over last night, and you didn't have a face to you, don't think that Lao Tzu can be polite to you now." Hand over the crystal nucleus you quietly took, otherwise, there will be a few of them good-looking. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qin's subordinates who held Liu Qin understood it, and immediately increased the force in their hands, pushing Liu Qin to a stumbling ground and almost falling to his knees.
"Here you go." When Ding Xiu saw this scene, his teeth itched with hatred in his heart. With an angry face, he took out the low-level crystal nucleus wrapped in his pocket and threw it to Jiang Dian.
Jiang Dian caught it, and Bai Shouxian immediately came over and grabbed the thing in his hand.
"That's it?" He counted them, raised his head and looked at Ding Xiu suspiciously.
"Won't you count the carcass of the flying fox I brought back yesterday? Crystal nuclei are not found in every corpse. Ding Xiu stared at him and said, "The thing is for you, release it." ”
"Wait, don't worry." Bai Shouxian was about to signal to the distributor, but Jiang Dian suddenly spoke first: "I believe you in the number of crystal nuclei for the time being, but I remember that you also said last night that there are still a lot of corpses in the fox cave, right?" ”
Ding Xiu glared at him, glaring angrily: "What do you want?" ”
