"That's right! We went to the textile factory with Xia Zhiqing and Lu Jing. The contract we signed was not speculation at all! This is speculation, so why don't you arrest the leaders of those factories first?"
There must be many factories such as steel factories and textile factories that have signed contracts with cooperatives, but the people on the picket team only characterized Xia Yao and Lu Jing as speculators, which was obviously wrong.
Dozens of people surrounded Ma Yao and Wei Wang, and their arrogance was extinguished at this moment.
Wei Wang and several other people scurried away, eager to dig a hole and get out.
Only Ma Yao was still struggling: "By doing this, you are hindering us from performing our official duties! When the time comes, we will be held accountable, and none of you will be able to escape!"
"What's the fuss about?"
At this time, Captain Zhou came back with Accountant Xu and several brigade cadres.
They were sitting on the bullock cart. Before they reached the big locust tree, they saw a commotion at the entrance of the village.
I also vaguely heard "speculation"!
This is a big deal! Captain Zhou became vigilant and scanned these outsiders with sharp eyes.
"who are you?"
The noisy atmosphere finally calmed down. Seeing this, Ma Yao thought his opportunity had come and shouted loudly: "We are from the picket team! After receiving the report, Lu Jing was opportunistic. We came here specially to take him to the team." They are interrogating here! Let these people leave quickly!"
The more Ma Yao talked, the more confident he became, but after calling for a long time, no one came.
He raised his head in a daze and saw Captain Zhou's gloomy face.
"A speculator?" Captain Zhou jumped down from the bullock cart, "Who is a speculator? You mean Lu Jing?"
Captain Zhou walked towards Ma Yao step by step, his eyes made Ma Yao's heart lift.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to ask you what you want to do!" Captain Zhou's voice suddenly became louder, and Ma Yao was shaken into a daze.
"you……"
"Our brigade just wants to save more money! Why are we speculating again?" Captain Zhou shouted, "Our brigade has applied with the commune, and we are running a cooperative! Why do you think we are speculating?"
"I mean Lu Jing..." Ma Yao said with difficulty.
Captain Zhou sneered a few times: "Lu Jing is the great hero of our brigade! If it weren't for him and Xia Zhiqing, our cooperative wouldn't be possible! You say they are opportunistic? Don't you just want to harm our brigade?"
"If you capture Lu Jing, will you compensate us for the loss of our brigade?"
When it comes to the future of the entire Qingshui Brigade, Captain Zhou will never allow any mistakes to be made.
"If you can't give me an explanation today, I will go to the county to ask for an explanation!" Captain Zhou's face was as red as Guan Gong.
"We received a report..."
"Report?" Xia Yao laughed out loud, "Take people away after receiving a report? Where do you get the right? You dare to arrest people without even a little evidence?"
Xia Yao's words were so sharp that they made several people speechless.
This kind of thing has happened several times.
Without exception, they all came for Lu Jing.
In anger, Captain Zhou suddenly realized that this was the best opportunity.
And Xia Yao also felt blessed at this time.
She opened her mouth and said: "We can't just let this matter go! We have to go to the county!"
Ma Yao was stunned for a moment, and then broke out in cold sweat.
No one dared to speak out about the things their pickets did in the past few years, but now the form is no better than before, so how can they dare to be as arrogant as before.
But Xia Yao and Captain Zhou each grabbed one of his hands, and he couldn't leave at all.
"This matter must be clarified!" Xia Yao's face darkened, and his voice was very serious, "I can't let you fool around like this! Arrest people randomly after receiving a report? This matter is ignored!"
"Let's go to the county and tell them!"
"Go to the county!"
Captain Zhou also followed suit.
Although the other villagers in the Qingshui Brigade didn't quite understand the reason, since Captain Zhou and Xia Yao had told them, they also shouted: "Go to the county!"
Ma Yao couldn't get off the tiger, and there was a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
"We received a report and came to arrest people. Since you said it was not speculation, we just won't arrest people." Ma Yao stammered in a hurry.
But Xia Yao wouldn't let him go so easily.
"It can't be calculated like this. If we hadn't argued hard and the people in the brigade worked together to stop you, you would have taken Lu Jing away long ago. What if you were cruel and harmed Lu Jing? Where would you go to compensate me? man?"
"Your name is Ma Yao, right? Let's go to the county to find out clearly now!"
Xia Yao grabbed one of Ma Yao's hands so hard that Ma Yao couldn't move at all.
He was terrified in his heart: Where did this woman get her strength?
Captain Zhou had a stern look on his face, and he and several brigade cadres loaded Ma Yao and others into an oxcart. Several big men were guarding the surroundings, and they could not escape.
Ma Yao and Wei Wang were notoriously vicious people from all over the country. They were sitting in a bullock cart, their bodies stiff, accepting sights from all directions.
When we arrived at the county, a few idle pickets at the door saw Ma Yao and his men with sharp eyes.
The scene they expected of Ma Yao and his men escorting Lu Jing back suddenly turned into a dozen villagers escorting Ma Yao and his men towards the county committee.
"Hey, hey! What are you doing!"
Several team members realized something was wrong and immediately stopped them.
But Captain Zhou had a sullen face, ignored them, and led the people to the county committee.
The county committee and County Magistrate Zhang are having a headache because of false and unjust cases in the county.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the county committee, Xia Yao jumped out of the carriage first and shouted loudly inside.
“Please let the county magistrate make the decision for us!”
County Magistrate Zhang's hand holding the cup shook, and in a blink of an eye he saw his secretary running in: "County Magistrate, it's a few people from the township, escorting several members of the picket team."
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang became interested: "Are they escorting the pickets?"
"Yes, there are two people there who are familiar to me. They are Captain Ma's nephew Ma Yao, and his right-hand assistant Wei Wang."
When the pickets were mentioned, County Magistrate Zhang's face was full of disgust.
"They really refuse to change despite repeated admonishment!" County Magistrate Zhang patted the table coldly.
The secretary lowered his voice: "In the past, the masses did not dare to resist, but this time it is different..."
"Yes!" County Magistrate Zhang became more energetic, "They are brave, maybe they can really surprise me!"
He had wanted to punish the pickets for a long time, but there was no evidence. In this situation, didn't he give him what he wanted most?
"Let's go!" County Magistrate Zhang walked out excitedly, "This time, I must seize the opportunity!"
