Chapter 34: One Crying, Two Troubles, Three Hangings

Another passenger also said: "Yes, at first, I heard that pockmarked face say that you had a conflict with him in Lanzhao County, I thought you knew each other, and we couldn't take care of personal grievances." ”

"I didn't figure out what was going on at first, so I didn't say anything. If it weren't for everyone's help, these bad guys wouldn't have been scared away, thank you. Qingfeng hugged everyone.

Lao Zhu knew Qingfeng's situation, so he naturally didn't worry that Qingfeng would suffer.

The car went out for more than ten minutes, and suddenly a group of people appeared on the side of the road. There were more than a dozen of them, mostly young men, some empty-handed, some holding wooden sticks in their hands, standing on the side of the road and waving vigorously at the bus.

Could it be that the pockmarked face called someone to find the field? This is too arrogant, isn't it? If you can't steal, you dare to rob, and if you can't rob, you dare to fight and take revenge. Qingfeng naturally didn't take this little threat to heart, but the other passengers were afraid, three or two people were okay to deal with, but if they put these dozen people up, it would kill people.

The driver and conductor were even more afraid, and did not dare to stop at all, so as soon as they stepped on the accelerator, they rushed over with a buzz, leaving only a dozen people behind them to shout and curse angrily.

After this incident, the driver and conductor just wanted to drive the car to the place as soon as possible, and some people didn't pull it, and there was no stopping for the rest of the journey, and they drove to Lanzhao County in one go.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when they got out of the car, and after inquiring about the distance, Lao Zhu and Qingfeng took a taxi directly to the door of Zou Fatzi's house.

Zou Fatzi's home is a small courtyard with a relatively remote location, Lao Zhu stepped forward and knocked on the big iron door, and after a while, the iron door creaked open.

"Who are you looking for?" The one who opened the door was a young woman with thin lips, a pointed chin, and a black mole on the corner of her mouth, looking at Lao Zhu and Qingfeng with very vigilant eyes.

"May I ask if Boss Zou is at home?" asked Lao Zhu.

"He's not here. The woman glanced Lao Zhu up and down.

"Then when will he come back?" asked Lao Zhu again.

"I don't know. The woman slammed the door shut.

Lao Zhu was not reconciled, and stepped forward to knock on the door again, but the woman knew that it was Lao Zhu who knocked on the door outside, and she never came out again.

After knocking for more than ten minutes, the woman still pretended not to hear and refused to come out again to open the door, but attracted a few neighbors who were watching the excitement. One of the aunts said, "You're here to find Zou Fat, right? He hasn't been back for more than a month." ”

Lao Zhu asked, "Who is the woman who opened the door just now?"

"That's his wife. The aunt replied.

"Do you know when Boss Zou will come back?" asked Lao Zhu again.

"I don't know. The aunts shook their heads.

Zou Fatzi is not there, and his wife is at home and refuses to open the door, when will he get the money, this time Lao Zhu is also anxious, and kicked a few times towards the iron door, and the loud sound of clattering makes people's ears hurt. At this moment, Zou Fatzi's wife couldn't sit still, opened the door and yelled angrily at Lao Zhu: "What are you knocking? ”

"Hundreds of thousands of wages for migrant workers, did you just send them away when he was not there? That's the hard-earned money of dozens of workers, we have worked hard for more than half a year, relying on selling labor to earn a little money for selling our lives, and we hope to get the money after the completion of the project, so that we can see a doctor and buy medicine for our parents, and buy a schoolbag for our children to pay some tuition. Do you still have a conscience? This is to force the workers to jump off the building. Lao Zhu burst into tears when he spoke.

The surrounding aunts couldn't stand it anymore, and they talked about it one after another: "I heard that his family used to do business not authentically, and people often came to ask for accounts from people who were looking for death and life." ”

"Yes, even the wages of migrant workers are in arrears, which is really unconscionable. ”

Looking at the neighbors pointing, the woman's face was blue and red for a while, and her tone was not so tough, and said, "My husband is really not at home, I will contact him in the evening, you can come back tomorrow." ”

It seems that Zou Fatzi is really not at home, he just arrived in Lanzhao County today, so don't force them to be so anxious, let them also consider it. Lao Zhu said: "Okay, we are not unreasonable people, today we salute first and then soldiers, if it is not resolved tomorrow morning, I will live in your house." ”

Then Lao Zhu and Qingfeng found a small hotel nearby to stay, and every once in a while, they took turns to go around Zou Fatzi's house to see if Zou Fatzi had come home, or if Zou Fatzi's wife would go out, it would be better if they could track Zou Fatzi. It's a pity that until the night, the door of Zou Fatzi's house did not move.

Lao Zhu and Qingfeng had a little dinner casually, and stayed in the hotel to chat with each other, Qingfeng said: "Lao Zhu, I feel that this money is difficult to get, and it will not be easy to do it tomorrow." ”

"Yes, I also know it's not good to ask for it, but it's not okay if you don't want this money, if we don't want it, Zou Fatzi will definitely not take the initiative to give it. Lao Zhu sighed and said.

"What are we going to do then? Can we sell Zou Fatzi's things to pay off the debt?"

Lao Zhu shook his head and said: "That's not appropriate, this is someone else's territory, if we take his family's things, maybe we will have to go to court first." ”

Qingfeng said: "With the people of Zou Fatzi and his wife, I think even if he finds him, he will not give it, unless it is by coercion." If he really doesn't give it, what else can we do?"

Lao Zhu said: "There are really not many ways to ask for migrant workers' wages, and what we commonly use is to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself." If the first method fails, they will organize workers to block the door, make trouble, or march on the streets, block Zou Fatzi at home, or find a group of workers to eat and live in his house, and give him money and leave when he will leave; if the first two methods are not working, then they can only perform a jumping show. ”

"Performing a jumping show?" Qingfeng heard of it for the first time.

"It's to find a high-rise building or tower crane to stand up, and then find a group of media to come and report, saying that if you don't pay your salary, you can't survive and jump off the building, forced by the influence of the media and public opinion, the relevant departments will also put pressure on Zou Fatzi to let him pay back. Lao Zhu explained.

"Oh, then why don't we just perform a jumping show in Guanchuan City? It's our home stadium, and there are a lot of media in Guanchuan City, so it's more influential. ”

Lao Zhu said: "I've thought about it, we can't jump off the building in Guanchuan City, on the one hand, because no one can contact the fat man at present, and it's useless to find him at the critical moment of jumping off the building." On the other hand, if you jump off the building in Guanchuan City, the most affected will not be Zou Fatzi, but Party A's President Li. Because if the labor department can't find Zou Fatzi, it will definitely find Zou Fatzi's predecessor, Mr. Li, to deal with it, and when the media reports it, it will not say that a certain boss owes migrant workers wages and does not pay them, but will say that a building materials city owes farmers wages and does not pay, and finally things will return to square one. That would ruin Mr. Li's reputation, Li is always a good person, we can't let people be too passive. ”

Qingfeng nodded, "Oh, you're right. Mr. Li is also a victim, and the cost of handling the accident, as well as the hospitalization fees and compensation of the injured workers, are all paid by others. We really can't let the media ruin people's reputations anymore. ”

The two were chatting casually, and a mobile phone rang, Lao Zhu stopped talking, and seeing that Qingfeng had not moved for a long time, he said, "Xiaofeng, why don't you answer the phone?"

"Telephone, my phone?" Qingfeng pulled out his phone from his pocket.

No wonder Qingfeng is not adaptable, from the day Lingzhu handed over the mobile phone to Qingfeng until now, no one has called, and now this is the first one that someone else has called.

As for how to use it, Lingzhu gave a brief introduction to the mobile phone, Qingfeng had already figured it out, and pressed the answer button directly.

"Hello, is it Mr. Qingfeng?" said a middle-aged man's voice on the phone.

"It's me, who are you?" Qingfeng replied.

The person who called was a stranger, and his number was only known to Xuanjizi, and Qingfeng couldn't think of anyone who would call him except Xuanjizi.

"Hello Mr. Qingfeng, I was entrusted by Chong Xuzi's predecessor to help you apply for your identity certificate, and now it has been done, I want to ask you where you are in Guanchuan City, and I will send it to you. The voice on the phone said.

"I'm not in Guanchuan City now, I'm running errands in Lanzhao County, and I won't be able to go back until two days. Why don't you wait two more days and wait for me to get back?"

"Chong Xuzi's predecessor specially explained, I want to send ......it to you as quickly as possible" The voice on the phone paused slightly, and suddenly said: "Oh, it just so happens that I will go to Lanzhao County tomorrow to do business, and I will send it to you directly." ”

"Since it's a stopper, let's send it over tomorrow and call me when you get to Lanzhao County. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll deliver it tomorrow. ”

Qingfeng heard Lao Zhu say that it is very troublesome to carry an identity certificate with him now, and sometimes he can't even buy a long-distance ticket, and someone will often check it. Since the other party came to do things by the way, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by sending them directly.

Qingfeng just hung up the phone, and suddenly there was a sound of kicking the door from outside the door, Lao Zhu stepped forward to open the door, and four young people poured in from outside the door. The first one was about 20 years old, shirtless and only wearing a big trousers, shaved his head, stepped forward and pushed Lao Zhu back a few steps, and said, "You are the old Zhu who came to collect debts?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" There is a breeze, and Lao Zhu's courage has also strengthened a lot.

The bald young man said: "I'm here to tell you that my brother's project didn't make money at all, and he still owes a lot to Party A, and what he got back this time can only be regarded as the interest on his advance." He doesn't care about that project anymore, and he won't pay back all the accounts over there, so if you know each other, go back quickly, and whoever you should find for your salary will go. ”

"Who are you? Did Fat Zou come to you? Where is he? Take me to see him. Lao Zhu asked a few questions in a row.

The bald young man did not answer him, but continued: "I advise you one more sentence, don't ask so much. We are also salutes first and then soldiers, if I were to see you again in Lanzhao County tomorrow, it would not be so polite at that time. ”

After the warning, the bald young man didn't say anything more, and left directly with his three younger brothers. Qingfeng secretly followed out, but unfortunately the young people just found a place to drink, and did not go to Zou Fatzi to report the situation, and the tracking method did not work.
