"Zhong Yueshan has been arrested." For Xu Zhiguo, this news is simply a slap in the face on his head. Facing the person who posted the news, Xu Zhiguo almost lost his mind and yelled at him: "This is impossible, you are obviously spreading rumors and slander, shut your stinky mouth, otherwise you will be fucking bullshit." Then the men itched and said, "Believe it or not, what does it matter to me, I have the ability to go up there and roar at us." ”

Xu Zhiguo returned home like an eggplant after frost wilted his head. Xiao Ju asked, "What's wrong with you?" What are you fighting for with others and losing, so frustrated? ”

Xu Zhiguo said sadly: "Xiaoju, some people say that our benefactor has been arrested. Have you ever heard of it? ”

Jin Xiaoju smiled and said, "Who is our benefactor, and who was arrested by whom?" Inexplicably, can you explain the point? ”

Xu Zhiguo said: "Who else can our benefactor benefactor, of course, it is Secretary Zhong Yueshan." Xiao Ju didn't dare to laugh this time, so she said seriously: "Zhiguo, who did you hear that Secretary Zhong was arrested, how did this person know, and who dared to arrest him?" Zhiguo shook his head and said, "I also just heard it, I won't believe it's the truth." ”

Jin Xiaoju's body was chilling for a while, and she said with a trembling mouth: "Zhiguo, we'd better inquire about this matter first before we talk about it, I don't believe that this matter is true, if it's true, I'm afraid we will also be implicated." Xu Zhiguo said: "What can we do now? Xiao Ju said: "You ask me, I don't have a good idea, you have to calm down now, you have to figure things out first before you can go." ”

Zhiguo said: "Where do you let me go, I'm not an official, I have nowhere to inquire." ”

Jin Xiaoju said: "You really have no brains, you can't inquire about this matter if you are not an official?" If you are an official, I am afraid that you will also be arrested together. ”

Xu Zhiguo said: "My heart is a mess, it's useless for you to let me go out to inquire now, you have to let me calm down first." ”

Jin Xiaoju said: "You really can't hold up the wall with a handful of mud, how can you drop the chain at the critical moment, you quickly come up with a way to understand this matter thoroughly, so that we can sleep with peace of mind." ”

Jin Xiaoju asked him, "When did you hear about this in that person's mouth?" Zhiguo said, "I just heard it from Xiangda. Xiaoju said, "Did you ask him where he learned about it?" Zhiguo said, he told me that I scolded him on the spot for farting. Xiao Ju sighed and said: "It's a shame that you are called 'Xianggong' by others, I think you are Brother Muliang." "Zhiguo said, it's useless for you to blame me, maybe this thing is true or maybe this thing is false, now there are people who spread rumors everywhere, no one can believe it, but no one's words can not be believed at all.

Jin Xiaoju said: "If it has nothing to do with us, we can just sleep in our big sleep." But if this is true, we must be vigilant, at least not to suffer immediate losses. ”

Xu Zhiguo said: "We can't ask others face to face about this matter, otherwise we will be unable to argue with others when they have the evidence." ”

Jin Xiaoju said: "The only way now is for you to go to the town, settle this matter, and then discuss the future." Xu Zhiguo asked: "Why do you let me go to the town to inquire about this matter at this time, isn't this a fish drilling into a net?" ”

Jin Xiaoju was so angry that smoke rose on his head: "You really don't know what to do, who asked you to ask about this matter directly in the town, you went over, he was really locked up, then the first one will definitely not be able to see him in person; Second, don't speak, just keep your ears up and listen, and you will know what others say. The third thing is to avoid acquaintances as much as possible, and when you meet them, you can only pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't know anything. Remember, it's important to be calm. ”

Xu Zhiguo patted his head and said: "Why do I always faint on the field, I still need you to remind me of such a simple thing, I am really stupid." ”

Xu Zhiguo immediately decided to go to Chifeng Town to find out now, no matter whether the situation was bad or not, it was settled. Xu Zhiguo held a straw hat in his hand, wrapped a towel around his arm, deliberately pulled up trousers of different lengths, and set off after breakfast and lunch. I'm still laughing in my heart: Fortunately, there is a smart wife who helped me come up with ideas, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to turn the corner with my own brain.

Ten miles of machine farming road is nothing more than a piece of cake for an authentic cropper. Xu Zhiguo walked without difficulty. But today, Xu Zhiguo seemed to be carrying a thousand catties of weight in his heart, and his legs were as heavy as pouring lead down. He walked in a hurry, sweating like rain, feeling that he had walked all day, but he had not yet walked out of the buckwheat mountain that belonged to his village. Xu Zhiguo scolded his mother in a muttering voice: Hell, I was sweating profusely, and I only walked to Kumailing, what happened to me?

I really didn't meet any acquaintances along the way. Several women from the neighbouring village walked in groups to stop him in front of him, as if deliberately against him, and he went to the left, and the women also turned to the left; He moved to the right, and the women avoided to the right. He couldn't get angry, so he loudly accused these women, and the women were not fuel-efficient lamps, so they also pointed and scolded him. He couldn't scold anyone with one mouth, so he had to obediently slow down and let the women go away first.

Seeing the women in front of him who were gradually moving away, Xu Zhiguo thought of his wife Jin Xiaoju again: "Eh, it's the same woman, why is there such a big gap, although my wife is just a country woman, her quality is much higher than these women." It can be seen that the relationship between people is not about age and appearance, but about quality and mentality. ”

"Zhiguo, where are you going? Why did you meet me face to face and you still didn't recognize me? A rude voice interrupted Xu Zhiguo, who was pondering.

"Oh! It's you! Moth··· Mi Worm changed his words without shouting two words: Where did you go and come back so early? Xu Zhiguo looked up and down the person opposite in surprise. "Hey, where else can I go, just go to my daughter's house and carry some broken corn paste back to eat. Zhiguo, today is not the day to catch the market, where are you going to do in town? The rude man smiled and patted the cloth bag on his shoulder.

"Hey, don't ask, I'll go to the town health center to dispense some medicine, someone in my family is sick, I won't tell you more, I'm leaving." Xu Zhiguo walked around the rude strong man and strode forward.

"Sick, who in your family is sick again, why is he sick again?" The rude strong man staggered away. Xu Zhiguo didn't answer the strong man's words, he knew that this fellow villager nicknamed "Rice Moth" was a complete scoundrel, and he went to his daughter's house every day to eat and drink, but the workers of the production team were unwilling to go out for a day, and the people in the village looked down on him.

When he was about to reach the boundary of Huangyang Village, where the town was stationed, Xu Zhiguo began to get a little nervous. It's as if he was a spy leader who infiltrated the village, and his identity had already been discovered by others. He stopped, letting the porphyry's beating heart calm down for a moment. He fanned his straw hat and let a fan come to his face. Although the hot air did not lower the temperature on his body in the slightest, he still kept repeating this action, as if this was the only way to reduce his stuffiness. After all, Huangyang Village is the station of Chifeng Township, and its geographical location and humanistic quality are far better than that of the remote Shanghu Village. This is the delusion and cognition of Xu Zhiguo, a peasant. From the bottom of his heart, he admired the people who lived near the town, and he always felt that they had some skills and knowledge more than the countrymen. This is an unreasonable reason, Xu Zhiguo himself thinks so, and if others disagree, it means that others are even more stupid and ignorant than themselves. At this moment, the village road in Huangyang Village is deserted, and there are few people walking sparsely on the street. In normal times, the four-meter-wide street is already crowded and bustling. At that time, people were shoulder to shoulder, their toes touching other people's heels, and there was no way to stride past them. But now, such a lively place is dead, and the atmosphere is very suffocating. Xu Zhiguo didn't dare to go too quickly, for fear of being stopped and questioned by others, he came here today for his own purpose, and this purpose can't be told to anyone, only by figuring out Secretary Zhong's affairs can he be down-to-earth in his heart. Xu Zhiguo calmed down, this brain is still relatively easy to use, and he is confident that he will definitely be able to find out the information he needs today. We often say that self-confidence is the driving force for action.

At the east end of Huangyang Village is the location of the office in Chifeng Township, which is a relatively flat hill. The house in the township was originally the private estate of the local landowner, Golden Water. Although the area of the manor is not large, the structure of the house is a brick and wood structure in imitation of classical style, with green bricks and green walls, and the momentum is majestic. The large courtyard is full of golden and silver osmanthus and fiery pomegranate trees that bloom in all seasons, as well as Cantonese magnolia trees with wide leaves and dark green, with tall and straight trunks and canopies covering the entire corner of the courtyard, all of which have been around for some years. The trunk of the tree hugs people, the canopy covers the sky and the sun, even if the heat is like boiling in July, the garden is still full of fragrance, and walking under the tree is even cooler and cooler, refreshing people's hearts. The brick walls are densely packed with creepers, lush and verdant. The dark green walls look pleasing to the eye and make people feel good. Xu Zhiguo has only been here three times, and every time he comes, he will deepen his impression of this place. Today is his fourth time here. He walked along the root of the wall outside, and the creeper on the brick wall outside had been cut and skinned by someone, and the wall had been painted with white lime. The whitewashed exterior walls were plastered with a mess of things. The people standing in front of it were listless, craning their necks and looking at something.

Xu Zhiguo also pretended to be indifferent and walked over slowly, occasionally glancing at the things on the wall. The banners in front of it seem to have been hung up only in the last few days, and many people are looking around it, and the sound is a little noisy. Xu Zhiguo walked over and stopped to prick up his ears to listen, because he heard that it was Secretary Zhong who was talking about it, and he squeezed in front of them and stared at the wall word by word. Some of these contents are indeed directed at Secretary Zhong, but not all of them are directed at him, and the payment is only dated by the whistleblower but not named. Xu Zhiguo read it from beginning to end, and the content was nothing more than his corruption and perversion of the law, retaliation against colleagues, arbitrariness, rudeness and unreasonableness. At the same time, he also mentioned his own affairs, but he just wrote himself as Xu Moumou. Xu Zhiguo was a little angry, why should a good person be slandered by a bad person, but a bad person can get away with it and act as a blessing. Is it the insensitivity of the people? Or is the bad guy with the eyes of the sky, and the law can't help him?

"Hey, in this world, it's hard to be a good person." Someone let out a sigh.
