To be honest, Yang Bajin did not trust the working group.
It is said that officials protect each other. If the officials don’t care for the officials, how can they care for ordinary people like me?
As a pauper, what benefits can I bring to other people's work groups? How can it be compared to Yang Cunzheng who provides the work group with good food and drink every day.
Even though he knew there was little hope, Yang Bajin still came.
He came with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
No matter whether it is true or not, no matter whether the inspector surnamed Yun is just talking about it on the surface, I can't survive anyway, so I might as well give it a try!
After listening to Yang Bajin's accusation, the people in the working group expressed sympathy and heaved a sigh of relief.
It's not easy. Finally, someone dared to stand up.
After recording the situation, the people in the work team wanted Yang Bajin to stay and rest.
However, Yang Bajin felt uncomfortable with the people in the work group and had to go back. He said that he had a spiritual tablet for his family at home, and he would feel uneasy if he didn't keep it.
The work team were all young people and they didn't want to be so comprehensive. They thought they could just go back. Anyway, Yang Hong would be under control at dawn tomorrow.
On the second day, neither Yang Bajin, who was waiting on the left, nor Yang Bajin, who was waiting on the right, came.
When they found his house, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Yang Bajin was hung on the beam by a hemp rope, and his body had already become cold.
Without saying a word, team leader Zhao Baoguo gave himself a few slaps!
I'm such a waste. I don't even know how to protect the person who reported the crime. This is a good thing. I'll die without any evidence. What should I do next?
When the working group was established, Yun Chao repeatedly emphasized that this time was a test of their abilities. Don't use force if you can. It's best to convince people with reason.
Now even the person who reported the crime is dead, and I still have some shitty abilities!
Seeing Yang Bagin hanging from the beam of his house, the villagers who had always kept a distance from the working group became even further away from them.
I don't know if someone knows the inside story, but the way they look at the working group is wrong, as if they are looking at a scourge.
When they returned to their place of residence, before Zhao Baoguo could say anything, several of his boys became anxious.
"Captain, what are you waiting for? It must be that Yang Hong who did it. Let's arrest him directly for interrogation. We don't believe he won't tell the truth!"
"Yes, Captain, we can't wait any longer. If this continues, the people will only become less and less trusting of us, and our work will become increasingly difficult to do!"
"Captain, I think we should report to Brother Chao. That Yang Hong is not simple. If this continues, I think we will all be in danger."
"..."
A few people were talking to each other, making a big noise between Zhao Baoguo and Zhao Baoguo.
With a bang, Zhao Baoguo slapped the table hard.
"What are you afraid of? Let's go to Yang Hong's house now to explore his background and see if the old guy dares to touch us!"
They are all young people, and no one is greedy for life and afraid of death. Since Zhao Baoguo has talked about this, no one will back down.
So, several people took weapons and walked directly towards Yang Hong's house.
Seeing the men in the working group being aggressive, many villagers followed them from a distance to see what they were going to do.
The door of Yang Hong's house was tightly closed.
There was no movement inside.
Several people knocked for a long time, but the door did not open.
After setting up a ladder, a boy climbed up the wall and looked inside.
"Captain, it seems no one is here, and the door is closed."
Zhao Baoguo gritted his teeth: "Jump in and open the door!"
"yes!"
The boy above agreed, and just as he was about to jump into the yard, he heard someone behind him ask: "What do you want to do?"
who?
The boys turned around and saw a fat middle-aged man.
"My cousin's family went out to visit relatives yesterday. What are you doing?"
"oh?"
Zhao Baoguo narrowed his eyes.
"Are you Yang Hong's cousin?"
The middle-aged man nodded, neither humble nor arrogant: "Exactly, my name is Yang Wei. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I can tell you when my cousin comes back."
"Are you sure that Yang Hong's family left yesterday and not this morning?"
"Yes, I'm sure!"
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed vaguely, but he could not hide it from Zhao Baoguo's eyes.
Just as Zhao Baoguo was about to say something, Yang Wei rushed to say, "If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone to see if I lied?"
As he spoke, Yang Wei pointed at a group of villagers who were watching the excitement from a distance.
Zhao Baoguo didn't ask the villagers, and he couldn't find out even if he knew he could.
Yang Bajin had already said it last night, but the villagers were afraid of Yang Hong's revenge and did not dare to say anything.
"Okay, since Yang Cunzheng has gone out, we will wait for him to come back. By the way, as a cousin, you don't know where they went to visit relatives, right?"
"this……"
Yang Wei was stunned: "I really don't know about this. Maybe he went to my cousin-in-law's family. Who knows, my cousin is Muramasa, and he usually doesn't like to talk to my cousin."
"Oh, where is your cousin-in-law's family from?"
"this……"
Yang Wei hesitated for a moment: "It's from Xiliu Village. However, I'm not sure if my cousin went to Xiliu Village. Maybe he went to other relatives' homes."
"Okay, that's it, let's go back and wait for him."
After saying that, Zhao Baoguo waved his hand and left with his men.
Yang Wei stood for a while longer before leaving.
The villagers watching the excitement from a distance shook their heads in disappointment when they saw that the working group did not even enter Yang Hong's house.
I've known for a long time that these officials all vent their anger through one nostril, so what, now you know.
With great fanfare, it looked like they were here to settle a score with Muramasa, but Yang Wei dismissed them with just a few words. No fool would believe it if they were not wearing a pair of pants!
The work group lives in an empty house.
The tax burden in the Dawu Dynasty was too heavy, and many people fled from famine.
In every village there are some empty houses that no one lives in.
Because they have been in disrepair for a long time, these houses are generally relatively dilapidated. They are fine for temporary living. If you really want to live in them for a long time, you need to renovate the house.
The working group is of a temporary nature and of course will not repair any houses. This is why they did not force Yang Bajin to stay last night.
Although it is spring now, it is still relatively cold at night. The house is leaking air from all sides, and Yang Bajin, an old man, is worried that something will happen to him due to the cold.
After returning to his residence, Zhao Baoguo pulled several of his men in front of him and said to them in a low voice: "Let's go to Yang Hong's house again tonight. If there is still no one in Yang Hong's house, we will go find Yang Wei."
"Yes, Captain, we should have done this a long time ago. How can we convince these landlords and bullies with reason? Just kill them!"
"I also feel that there is no need to be polite to them. Just catch them and kill them to see what else they can do!"
Zhao Baoguo glared: "Nonsense, what did Brother Chao tell us before we came here? Do you think convincing people with reason is to convince those landlords and bullies? How about convincing the people. Brother Chao said that if we want to stand To be stable and go far, we must win the hearts and minds of the people and let them support us, do you understand?"
