Chapter 168 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Zhang Da Maozi saw that the people who came had different opinions and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Just when Lu Chong was about to guide Zhang Da Maozi again, suddenly a man tied up like a dumpling was thrown down from the top of the wall.
This scared the groups of people who were on the verge of a fight in the yard.
Secretary Xiao Wang was the first to react. She winked at the person she brought with her and said, "Who is this? Hurry up, help this person up and ask about the situation."
Before anyone else could react, Maloying's men rushed forward and brought the man directly among them.
At this time, Lu Chong and Zhang Damaozi's family reacted.
Zhang Da Maozi's wife called out, "Ma Ming, didn't you leave?"
Lu Chong knew the importance of this person. According to their arrangement, this person should have left by now. How could he be kidnapped?
But the most urgent task now is to get this person here and not let him fall into the hands of Ma Luoying and others.
So, Lu Chong asked tentatively: "Secretary Xiao Wang, Director Ma has said that Brother Zhou will be responsible for this matter. Please hand the person over."
Secretary Wang saw that Lu Chong was lacking confidence and knew that this person was very important, so she replied:
"Really? The director didn't tell me. Maybe she forgot. But it doesn't matter. The director is with Inspector Zhou and the others. We can just ask them later. Let's go."
Lu Chong was furious when he saw Secretary Xiao Wang pretending to be stupid. With his rank, he was blocked by a secretary. He was very unwilling to accept this.
So, he threatened: "Secretary Xiao Wang, I have the highest position here, I think it is better to do things within one's ability, what do you think?"
Secretary Xiao Wang sneered in his heart and said, "Deputy Director Lu, what do you mean? I am acting according to the instructions of our director. I am very sorry, I really don't know what you are talking about."
After saying that, she winked at her people and was about to take Ma Ming to see Ma Luoying.
Lu Chong looked at Director Wang who was stubborn and was at a loss for what to do.
This time they came here to vent their anger under the banner of the Revolutionary Committee, and did not bring anyone else with them. Now even if they wanted to snatch people away they couldn't do it. Alas, they can only take things one step at a time.
Lu Chong ignored Zhang Da Mao's words and took him to Zhou Tian's place.
Zhou Tian and Ma Luoying watched their people bring back two people. The two looked at each other, and for a moment, their minds were spinning.
On the surface, they nodded to each other, expressing their satisfaction with bringing the people back.
Because even though Ma Luoying and Zhou Tian brought a lot of people and the scene was protected very thoroughly, Liu San has not found a chance to tell Ma Luoying what Zhang Yu had done so far.
Zhou Tian was very angry. He knew that he must not let Ma Ming talk nonsense at this time, so he decided to use the method of procrastination like Ma Luoying.
So he said, "Director Ma, we have caught this man. Should we take him back to the county for further interrogation?"
As he spoke, he looked around at the people of Zhangjia Village and said, "Look, they are all from Zhangjia Village now. What if they rob people?"
Ma Luoying was thinking of making a big fuss about this matter so as to give a warning to the group of people in Zhangjia Village who had objections. How could she let it go so easily?
So, she said: "Inspector Zhou, look at what you said. I believe in the quality of the people in Zhangjia Village. They would never do such a thing."
Then, she turned to Captain Zhang and said, "Captain, what do you think?"
Captain Zhang looked at Ma Luoying's expression and assured her, "Director, don't worry about this. The people in Zhangjia Village are upright and will never shield anyone."
Then, she turned to Zhou Tian and said, "Director Zhou, look at what you said. How can I not trust you? Everyone is watching us. If we take everyone away without explaining it clearly, won't we be criticized? I think we should explain it clearly first!"
Although Ma Luoying used a question, his tone was firm and it was obvious that he was determined to do this to the end.
Zhou Tian looked at Ma Luoying who was so disrespectful and wanted to refute her very much, but he couldn't think of any strong reason to refute for a while.
In the end, Zhou Tian could only agree to Ma Luoying's proposal angrily.
At this time, Zhang Yu, who was watching the excitement on the side, saw that the situation was settled and did not stand up again. He had more important things to deal with, so he let Zhou Tian waste his time here.
Liu San was pulled and was confused. Wasn't he supposed to wait for his sister-in-law? Why did she pull him away?
However, this was not the place to talk, so when the two of them quietly arrived at the village entrance, Liu San asked his doubts.
At this time, Zhang Yu pointed in the direction of the county town and said, "Of course we should rush back to the county town first to deal with Zhou Tian's logistics and property and Lu Chong's family first."
When Zhang Yu and the other person arrived at the county town, Zhou Tian was not there, so Zhang Yu asked Liu San to take the evidence and report the twelve people and Lu Chong's family for suspected human trafficking.
In order to protect their family, Ma Luoying and Zhang Yu have not had the money to expand their network in recent years. For example, Director Liu of the county police station is now a good friend of theirs.
Zhang Yu accompanied Liu San to the police station to report the case. Director Liu attached great importance to such a huge case of speculation and human trafficking.
The county has been very peaceful in recent years, and their duties are almost being replaced by the Revolutionary Committee. If they don't solve a few more cases, they will be marginalized.
Based on the evidence provided by Liu San, he immediately arrested and interrogated the twelve people.
At first, these people thought that what they did was covert, and as long as they were not caught in the act, they would deny it no matter what. Besides, their boss Zhou Tian was the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Committee.
However, when Director Liu took out their account book, they were all stunned, but still did not speak, waiting for Zhou Tian to rescue them.
However, Director Liu is no pushover. He knows that since these people can engage in speculation and profiteering so successfully in the county, they must have a protective umbrella.
So he decided to cut off the source of the problem and send these people directly to the city. There was no other way, as we had people in the city.
As for the family of human traffickers reported by Liu San, Chief Liu did not ignore it. When he went to the city again, he directly took the whole family with him, but there were only three people at home.
By the time Ma Luoying and Zhou Tian finished interrogating the Zhangjiacun incident and sent Zhang Damaozi and Ma Ming to the labor camp, they rushed back to the county town and discovered the abnormality. Director Liu had already interrogated most of these people.
Zhou Tian failed to gain anything but ended up losing the rice. Seeing that the situation was not right, he ran away with Lu Chong and Aunt Lu.
