As soon as Qiu Bing said this, everyone at the scene was stunned except Peng Aiping and Luo Qiguo.
They only knew that Qiu Bing loved petty gains, but they didn't expect that this guy didn't distinguish between black and white. He didn't even pretend to be, and directly labeled Ji Lanying as a 'thief'.
"Chief, didn't you hear what Luo Meiyu said just now?" Ji Lanying looked at Qiu Bing in disbelief, never expecting that he would ask such a question.
"Her words are just her speculations and one-sided words, which cannot be trusted. Why did you steal Luo Qi's country's sickle?" Qiu Bing continued to ask, indicating that he was determined to protect Peng Aiping.
Peng Aiping, who was standing next to him, looked at Ji Lanying with a proud face after hearing Qiu Bing's words, her eyes full of disdain, as if to say: 'Fight with me, and you won't even know how you died!' '
"I didn't steal it," Ji Lanying replied in humiliation and unwillingness.
"You didn't steal it. Why are his things in your hands?" Qiu Bing went to college and deliberately confused his vision. Even ten rural people were no match for him.
"She stole my leeks and dropped them in my field. I picked them up, so I took them and prepared to return them to her." Ji Lanying frowned and said with sad eyes.
Her wrinkled face is full of vicissitudes of life, and her humble eyes make people feel pity for her.
But Qiu Bing couldn't see this. He only felt that he was like a god who controlled the power of life and death of all things. With just one word, he can completely end a person's future.
"She stole your leeks, and you came over to give her a sickle. How could you be so kind? It was obviously you who stole the sickle and she found out, so you bit back and said she stole the vegetables, right?" Qiu Bing Taking advantage of the power brought by the clothes on his body, he shouted harshly.
"...No, no! I didn't steal, she stole the food!" Ji Lanying was indeed frightened, but she still insisted on seeking truth from facts.
But her thin body was already shivering, like a candle in the cold wind that was about to be extinguished at any time.
"How long have you been, and you still dare to quibble? It's like you helping a fallen person up. If you didn't knock him down, would you kindly help him up? It's obviously you who stole things!" Qiu Bing said firmly.
Ji Lanying was already in tears and her whole body was shaking like chaff. She didn't expect that the world would become like this, and she didn't expect that people wearing those clothes would be indiscriminate.
The people around him were also despairing at this moment, and they all looked at Qiu Bing with resentful eyes.
"You are so ignorant of right and wrong, do you deserve to wear this outfit?" Luo Meiyu scolded with a cold snort.
"What, do you have any objections?" Qiu Bing asked coldly.
"Of course I have opinions. If you are so arrogant and unreasonable, I will sue you to the Discipline Inspection Commission!" After all, Luo Meiyu is literate and knows the formal channels for complaints.
"You are so angry, it seems that you must be her accomplice. No need to wait for you to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission, I will send you to jail for a few days." Qiu Bing snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
With his current authority, it only takes one sentence to get someone from the township police station to be locked up.
"If you can, just lock me in. I don't believe it. There is no place for reason in this world!" Luo Meiyu also got angry and said directly.
It's just that other common people, not as brave as Luo Meiyu, have died down at this time and no longer dare to support Ji Lanying.
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. This is a mark engraved in their bones. At such a critical moment, they will always be reminded not to talk nonsense.
"Captain Qiu, forget it, we're all from the same village, there's no need to go on the line like this. Let her make amends to my mother, and let this matter be over with." Luo Qiguo pointed at Ji Lanying and said.
When Qiu Bing heard this, he immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and nodded.
He didn't want to make the matter a big deal. After all, if he alerted his grandfather, he would inevitably be taught a lesson again.
"Okay, since the suffering master has said so, I won't pursue it any further. Who is that, Ji...Ji Lanying, right? You apologize to Aunt Peng and forget about it." Qiu Bingyi said commandingly.
Ji Lanying was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Instead of apologizing, she reached into her pocket and took out her cell phone.
"Hey, what, are you still going to call me?" Qiu Bing snorted coldly and said with disdain.
"Captain Qiu, don't worry. She is from a poor family. Where did she come from? She probably wants to report to the government." Peng Aiping said jokingly, with the pride and elation of victory written all over her face.
However, Ji Lanying neither called to shake people nor reported to the official. Instead, she opened a software. After clicking on it, she tried many times to find the stored records that she was very unfamiliar with. Then she brought up the screen even more unfamiliarly. In front of Qiu Bing and others.
What I saw on the screen was Ji Lanying's vegetable garden. Soon, Peng Aiping's figure with a sickle appeared in the vegetable garden, and then she cut the leeks one by one, the kind that cut them all at the root.
After she finished cutting, she cut too much and had to hold it with both hands, so she forgot the sickle in the field.
Then after a while, Ji Lanying's figure appeared on the screen. She looked at the leeks that were destroyed in the field. She was stunned for a long time. You could even see her shoulders shaking, obviously sobbing softly.
After she stopped sobbing, she was seen picking up the sickle on the ground, putting it in her carrier, and slowly walked out of the surveillance screen.
The cause and effect were clearly captured by surveillance cameras. After everyone finished reading, their eyes seemed to be filled with fire when they looked at Peng Aiping and others.
"Peng Aiping, Luo Qiguo, and you, Chief Qiu, do you dare to say what you said before?" Luo Meiyu asked through gritted teeth.
Although the others were well aware of the mantra that the people should not fight against the government, when they thought of Ji Lanying standing in the vegetable garden sobbing silently, they all stared angrily at Peng Aiping and the other three, and asked them how to resolve this matter.
Luo Qiguo was speechless on the spot, his face turned red from holding back.
He really didn't expect that the leeks were actually stolen from Ji Lanying's house. He thought they were from his own house. Thinking of this, he wanted to yell at Peng Aiping and ask him why he wanted to steal food.
But there were so many people here, he finally resisted the urge.
Qiu Bing was different. Not only did he not feel ashamed or regretful, but he hated Ji Lanying's behavior of slapping him in the face with all his heart.
If the villagers hadn't been present, he would have wanted to beat Ji Lanying.
After watching the video, Peng Aiping's face turned pale instantly, but like Qiu Bing, she did not feel any guilt or shame at all, but stared at Ji Lanying even more fiercely:
"Humph, we are all from the same village, and you actually pretended to be under surveillance to protect everyone. How can you be worthy of everyone's kindness to you? It's just your few broken vegetable leaves, no one cares about it."
Ji Lanying saved the video, took back her phone, and said word for word: "If I hadn't been forced to do this by you, I wouldn't have opened the surveillance screen."
Everyone present believed this. After all, when Ji Lanying was looking for the surveillance footage, he spent a long time looking for it. It looked very unfamiliar, and it was obviously not used frequently.
"I just wanted to remind you not to cut all the leeks next time. But you want to push me to death. Since you don't report it to the official, I will.
If the town doesn't care, I'll go to the county. If the county doesn't care, I'll go to the state... I believe there is always a place where people can reason. "
As Ji Lanying said this, she turned around and walked toward the town, carrying the cage on her back.
When Peng Aiping and the others heard this, their faces turned pale with fright.
They knew very well that if Ji Lanying was allowed to continue making trouble like this, Peng Aiping might really face jail. And even though he, Qiu Bing, had the support of his grandfather, the matter would be suppressed in the end, but his future promotions would definitely be greatly affected. .
"Quickly, stop her, grab her phone and smash it!" Qiu Bing was so angry that he fainted and gave Luo Qiguo an order that was outraged by both humans and gods.
"You dare!?" Luo Meiyu was the first to stop Luo Qiguo, "Are you really lawless? Do you think we are all dead?"
With Luo Meiyu taking the lead, the other villagers were also enthusiastic at this time and stood behind Ji Lanying, blocking Luo Qiguo's way forward.
"What are you doing? Are the unruly people rebelling? Anyone who dares to stop him will be regarded as an associate of Ji Lanying!" Qiu Bing was furious and threatened sternly.
As a result, Luo Meiyu not only refused to give in, but even took a step forward to show her attitude.
Seeing this, the rest of the people held hands and formed a human wall, and also took a step forward.
"Okay, great! You bunch of unruly people, I want to see how stubborn you can be!" Qiu Bing was already furious. He took out his cell phone and made a call.
After the call was connected, he directly gave the order: "Platoon leader, bring your people to the bridge here, fully armed. ----Yes, fully armed! Immediately! Immediately!"
When Luo Meiyu heard this, her expression changed instantly. She knew very well what 'fully armed' meant.
Those are words that appear only when counterinsurgency, indicating that their magazines are full of live ammunition!
It can really kill people!
"Sister Lan Ying, run! Take a car directly to the county seat. The police station in the town will definitely not be able to deal with your matter - run, run!" Luo Meiyu turned around and shouted.
But she saw Ji Lanying walking to the end of the bridge, suddenly froze on the spot, trembling all over and looking forward, her feet motionless.
Luo Meiyu looked forward along her line of sight, and then saw a young man of medium height appearing on the other side of the bridge...
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that in just a blink of an eye, the figure appeared in front of Ji Lanying.
Then, she saw the young man kneeling in front of Ji Lanying with a bang, and after kowtowing three times, he cried bitterly: "Mom, my son is unfilial, my son is wrong, my son is back... "
