Chapter 459 Not Trusted
Suddenly someone shouted, "The captain and secretary are here."
Hearing this voice, the people surrounding the Revolutionary Committee quickly looked up towards the village, and sure enough, they saw the team leader and Secretary Xu walking towards them.
When the two men approached, the villagers hurriedly made way for them, revealing the members of the Revolutionary Committee who were gathered in the middle, so that the team leader and his men could meet with the members of the Revolutionary Committee.
"Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Red Star Production Brigade to guide our work." Seeing the group of strangers with red armbands surrounded in the middle, the brigade leader spoke politely and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with them.
The team leader took the initiative to step forward and shook the captain's hand, "Hello, comrade.
I guess you are the cadre of the Red Star Production Brigade. You are finally here."
“My last name is Zhang, and I’m the leader of the production team.
Please forgive me, comrades. We live in the countryside and only have free time during the winter. Normally we are working in the fields taking care of the crops.
He heard the news from the villagers and rushed over, but it was still a little late.
Comrade Lei, please forgive me for keeping you waiting for so long. "
Seeing the captain say this, what else could Team Leader Li say? He quickly said, "Captain Zhang, you are too polite. We came here suddenly and delayed your work.
Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Li, and I am the leader of this operation team. "
"Hello, Team Leader Li.
I wonder what's the matter with Team Leader Li coming to our production team this time?" the team leader asked, pretending to be ignorant.
Seeing the captain was so direct, Team Leader Li, who had been tired of waiting, stopped keeping the secret and said directly,
"We came here this time because we received a letter of complaint saying that there were two people in your production team named Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao who were counter-revolutionaries and often expressed dissatisfaction with the Party and the great leader.
He also secretly kept some counter-revolutionary things.
We are here to check on this under orders from above."
When the villagers heard this, they immediately started talking.
"That's impossible. How could Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing be counter-revolutionaries? They are from military families, and three generations have been in the army. How could they be counter-revolutionaries?"
"What the hell! If they say something against the Party or the great leader, their elders will probably slap them to death and send them back to school to be retrained."
"That's right. Isn't the person who reported it lying with his eyes open?"
Someone asked the Revolutionary Committee, "Leader, who was the one who reported Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing? Tell us quickly so that we can know who is the smart one.
Even if they want to slander someone, they have to come up with a reasonable charge.
The term counter-revolutionary obviously has nothing to do with it."
The team leader said, "Team Leader Li, you have also heard that Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing cannot be counter-revolutionaries. Did you make a mistake?"
"We don't know either. Anyway, the higher-ups received a letter of complaint and sent us here to verify it."
"Then you should have verified it clearly now. Zhou Zhiqing and Zhao Zhiqing are from legitimate military families. That person is simply slandering us."
Team leader Li shook his head and said, "That won't work, after all, these are just your one-sided statements.
What’s more, that person also said that the two of them had collected counter-revolutionary items in their home, so we have to search it anyway.”
"Come on, if you go and search, even if there is no problem, it will become a problem.
A group of people like Wu Yangyang went in and secretly put some things in when no one was paying attention to frame others. It's not like you haven't done this before." A villager said sarcastically.
The captain waited for the man to finish speaking before he scolded him, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. How could a comrade from the Revolutionary Committee do such a thing?"
"Captain, you know their character. They have done this many times," the villager retorted.
Team leader Li quickly explained, "That was done by the previous people, not us.
Haven't those people before been proven to be accomplices of the spies and have all been arrested?
Don't worry, we will never do such a thing."
"Who would dare to believe what you say?"
"Okay, stop talking. When will you ever stop?" the captain said in fake anger.
The villagers suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore.
Seeing that the villagers finally stopped opposing them, everyone in the Revolutionary Committee couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, secretly cursing their previous colleagues in the Revolutionary Committee for not doing their job and leaving them with such a mess.
Team leader Li smiled and said again, "We have to trouble the captain to take us to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao's homes.
The report said that the two of them lived together. "
Having said that, the captain naturally would not stop trying to stop him. He nodded and said, "Okay then. I'll take you to Zhou Zhiqing's house right now."
The team leader led his men into the village and met many people rushing there along the way.
Liu Jingxue also mixed in with the villagers and joined the team leader and his group.
A huge group of people joined Zhou Mingxuan and Zheng Pengcheng who came to watch the fun.
The two had not originally planned to come over, but then they thought, the children were beating the gong to announce the news, and there was no way they could not hear such a loud noise.
If he didn't come, Zheng Pengcheng and Fang Dong would inevitably become suspicious if they knew about it. After all, the Revolutionary Committee coming here was no small matter, and they couldn't remain indifferent.
Seeing Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, the captain said to them, "Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, you came at the right time.
Comrades from the Revolutionary Committee said that someone had reported that you were counter-revolutionaries and that you had hidden some counter-revolutionary things in your home, so they came to verify it.
We need to search your home now."
“Someone reported us and said we were counter-revolutionaries.
Did this guy get kicked in the head by a donkey? There are counter-revolutionaries like us who are both red and expert." Zhao Junhao pretended to be surprised.
"We didn't believe it either. We told the comrades of the Revolutionary Committee that you couldn't be counter-revolutionaries. But they insisted on searching your home.
This is also their job. We are all revolutionary comrades and we cannot make things difficult for them.
Look, should we let them go over and check it out?"
Zhou Mingxuan searched the crowd with his eyes and saw Zheng Pengcheng and Fang Dong mixed in the crowd. He deliberately said,
"Mr. Zheng, we came here to work in the countryside, and we didn't have any conflicts with other people, but your family and mine have always been at odds, and you used your family's power to secretly sign me up to work in the countryside, and you followed me all the way here.
We all know why you came here.
Needless to say, you are the one who reported it."
Zheng Pengcheng was not panicked. He knew that Zhou Mingxuan would guess that it was him.
He asked Fang Dong to help him put the things away, and then he went to mail the letter of denunciation at night to conceal his tracks. He did not do these things in the hope of hiding them from Zhou Mingxuan.
The reason he did this was simply because he didn't want to do it himself and let himself, who was plagued by bad luck, ruin things and follow in the footsteps of his second uncle and his father.
He smiled faintly and said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence.
I've been working every day these days and I don't have time to report you.
Maybe you guys were too arrogant after coming here and accidentally offended someone."
Zhao Junhao said, "We came here and have always upheld the philosophy of being kind to others, so there is no way we would offend anyone.
I have the same idea as Mingxuan. The person who slandered and reported us is none other than you.
At your speed, running to town and back will only take about two hours, so it won’t delay your work.”
