Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2590 Disposal according to law
The convoy started slowly and moved forward along the road in the direction they came from.

The jeep was still in the lead, followed by the armored vehicle.

At this moment, Lu Tao's family and Lou Xiao'e were sitting in the armored vehicle.

Lu Tao held his son in his arms, with his wife leaning on his shoulder, feeling the bumps of the road with mixed feelings.

One moment before, the next moment.

Everything changed too fast, even though he told himself several times that it was all true, even though he reminded himself several times not to have too high expectations.

But at this moment, when he left the village, he threw away all the uneasiness in his heart.

Just like removing the weeds beside the wheat seedlings.

No matter how bad it can be, how much worse can it get?

The wife felt the change in her husband's expression, and the place where his shoulder was resting was wet with tears.

When she and her mother needed him, there was no news from his father.

But when she was most helpless, her deceased father gave her hope.

At this moment, she just wanted to know what kind of person her father was.

The eldest daughter was looking outside through the design hole.

Looking at the place where she had lived for almost a year.

Looking at this place that left a deep impression on her.

At this moment, tears flowed down the girl's face again, but unlike before, this time she was smiling.

"Sister, here's some candy for you."

I heard my younger brother's voice in my ears, holding a piece of White Rabbit milk candy in his hand.

This was given to him by Chen Gong.

"I won't eat it, keep it for yourself."

Lu Juan wiped away her tears and whispered to her younger brother.

The brother and sister didn't speak loudly, and there was a lot of rumbling noise in the car, but when Lou Xiao'e, who was traveling with them, saw the candy in the little boy's hand, she immediately remembered something and hurriedly took out a lunch box from her backpack.

"I had forgotten about it."

As Lou Xiao'e spoke, she came to Lu Juan and handed her the lunch box.

Holding the lunch box in her hand, Lu Juan hurriedly sent it back, "Sister, no, no. We are not hungry, not hungry."

As Lu Juan spoke, Lu Tao and Fang Hanmei beside her sat up straight and said, "Comrade Xiao'e, we really don't need it."

Lou Xiao'e continued to take things out of her bag.

A kettle, then two tomatoes.

"You're welcome."

Lou Xiao'e said this as she opened the lunch box.

There were three steamed buns inside. When the lunch box was opened, the armored vehicle was filled with the aroma of scrambled eggs.

"Take it and eat it quickly."

As he said this, he handed a steamed bun to the little boy, revealing the scrambled eggs with leeks underneath.

The little boy took it unconsciously and then looked at his parents.

Lu Tao looked at the steamed bun handed to him and felt a little embarrassed.

But it was difficult for him to refuse.

"You guys eat first, we'll go to town to eat something, and then go straight back to Sijiu City."

“It’s still a long way to go.”

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e picked up a tomato and started eating it.

This tomato was obtained from Yang Xiaotao.

The persimmons grow best in the Yang family's yard.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e had started eating, the others couldn't help themselves and picked up the steamed buns to eat.

Fang Hanmei took a tomato, bit it open and carefully sucked the water inside.

The little boy took a bite of the steamed bun and reached for the scrambled eggs under the lunch box.

“Is it dirty?”

Lu Juan scolded, then bit her steamed bun, found two chopsticks from her belongings, wiped them on her sleeves, and then picked up a piece of scrambled egg in the boy's eagerness.

Seeing her brother like this, Lu Juan smiled and put the egg into her mouth.

The next second, a satisfied smile appeared on the little boy's face.

Even the red mark on my cheek doesn't hurt as much anymore.

"Sister, it's delicious."

"Sister, you eat too."

The boy's voice was full of excitement. Lu Tao broke the steamed bun and ate half of it, but his eyes were looking at the armored vehicle in front of him.

"Dad, it's so cool in here."

The little boy reached out and tried the air vent on the top of his head, and said in surprise.

Lu Tao had already noticed the extraordinary features of this armored vehicle. When he heard his son's voice, he immediately smiled and said, "This car should be equipped with air conditioning."

After saying this, Lu Tao himself felt incredible.

When he was at China International Studies University, the college also did research on air conditioning, but those were all very large window air conditioners, and were only used for certain research purposes.

This was the first time he had seen an air conditioner installed in a car.

Hearing the conversation between the father and son, Lou Xiaoe took out a piece of cloth to wipe her hands, then handed it to Fang Hanmei beside her, and explained, "Yes, this car is equipped with an air conditioner."

"This type of air conditioner blows cool air when it's hot in the summer and hot air when it's cold in the winter."

"It's so good, then this car must be very expensive."

Lu Juan was feeding her brother some food with a steamed bun in her mouth. She asked involuntarily after hearing this.

“It’s expensive, but that’s relatively speaking.”

Lou Xiao'e showed a proud expression on her face, and her chest puffed out unconsciously, "This entire car, every screw and every steel plate, was made by our Nine Departments."

"It just costs some materials and labor."

"It doesn't cost much."

The Lu family was shocked by Lou Xiaoe's proud words and was speechless. Lu Tao was even more moved in his heart that the country could also make such a good car.

"Not only that, we also export these cars, with millions of them sold every year."

Lou Xiao'e said proudly again.

The whole family was even more shocked after hearing this.

Lu Tao and Fang Hanmei looked at each other unconsciously, as if they could see through each other's thoughts, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party went to so much trouble and made such a big fuss to come find them, but if it really meant something bad to them, there would be no need to do this.

This time, the two of them have really let it go.

"Comrade Lou, who designed this car? I feel like it's quite heavy, but it's not slow at all."

Lu Tao raised his glasses and asked curiously.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and said, "If you ask me something else, I can't tell you, but if you ask me this, then you've asked the right person."

"To talk about this car seriously, we have to start with the engine."

Lou Xiao'e picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, then sat aside and talked to the Lu family about what happened that year.

For a moment, the people in the car were listening to a story, concentrating intently, their minds beating fast.

The car kicked up clouds of dust on the dirt road until it disappeared from people's sight.

Standing on the halfway slope of Caojiagou, Director Liu, who was left behind by the village, finally withdrew his gaze.

But then, a surge of anger rose in my heart.

Although the leaders from Sijiu City did not say a word against the village, this attitude of ignoring it already showed their inner dissatisfaction.

What's more, Secretary Hu always had a cold face.

This incident happened during his term of office and within his jurisdiction. It was so easy to connect it to the Nine Departments, but who would have known that such a drama would happen at this most critical moment.

Similarly, the township leaders were not in a good mood either.

He even thought that if the perspective was changed, if the people in this village were friendly to the Lu family and extended a helping hand one by one, today would not be like this.

Similarly, he can also rise to the top with this.

Even the entire town will be proud of it.

Even Secretary Hu will remember me.

Now, a good thing has become a stain on me. If I don't handle this matter properly, this stain will never be washed away.

My heart felt cold and my face turned cold.

He turned around, glanced at the people from Caojiagou following behind him, and walked towards the brigade headquarters without saying a word.

The villagers in front of him hurriedly made way. Now even a fool could see that Director Liu was very angry and the consequences would be serious.

"Tie that guy up."

As soon as he entered the brigade gate, Director Liu stopped and gave instructions to the village staff who stayed behind him.

After hearing this, the clerk immediately understood what Director Liu meant and his face was filled with anger.

Who could have thought that just when the Lu family was getting ready to get in the car and leave, that sloppy bastard actually rushed forward like crazy, shouting "Xiaojuan, my wife", and saying that she must marry him and no one else.

Isn't this just being a hooligan in front of them?

The entire township leadership was slapped in the face by this bastard, and each of them had anger in their eyes.

Soon, the officer took two militiamen and brought the young man from Pojiao to the brigade headquarters.

"Wang Peng, stand still."

Director Liu sat on a long bench with his arms and legs spread out, his hands placed awkwardly on his thighs. The frosty look on his face made the nearby villagers unconsciously move away from him.

Wang Peng shuddered when he heard this, and felt a sharp pain in his thigh, which made him unable to stand.

The officer next to him saw this and slapped him on the forehead again. Wang Peng staggered and was held by the militia again.

Now I could only force myself to stand still, feeling extremely scared.

Not long ago, he went up to grab Lu Juan, but was kicked away by the security guard. Just when he had caught his breath, he was dragged out of the house.

"Dad, Dad, save me, save me."

When Wang Peng saw Accountant Wang and his wife coming over, he immediately begged as if he had seen his saviors.

Seeing his son like this, Wang Tiande felt bitter.

He knew that today's matter would be difficult, but as long as he could save his son's life and leave roots for their family, it would be enough.

Wang Tiande quickly came to Director Liu and knelt down, "Director Liu!"

"This is all my fault, it has nothing to do with my son."

"He is still young, still a child, he doesn't understand anything, and his legs and feet are not good, he really doesn't know anything."

"Director Liu, please spare him."

The accountant's wife looked at the villagers around her with a hopeful look and said, "Grandpas and aunties, we really didn't mean it."

The woman at this moment no longer had her previous arrogance. She looked at the villagers beside her with pleading eyes, hoping that these people from the same tribe and village could stand up and help speak a word and beg for mercy.

But Director Liu was too lazy to pay attention and turned to look at the village cadres beside him.

At this moment, the village chief, team leader, group leader, and others were all trembling with fear.

Faced with Accountant Wang's pleading eyes, they not only pretended not to see them, but also wanted to beat the family to death in their hearts.

"You guys, do you have anything to say?"

Director Liu was too lazy to call out names now, so he spoke directly.

The village chief and others were all trembling in their hearts.

The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.

This Director Liu is their 'current manager'!
On weekdays, all the work in the village is reported to him, and he is also in charge of the delivery of the village's surplus grain and other supplies.

At the same time, the election of village cadres was also conducted under his chairmanship.

It can be said that Director Liu is their parent official.

"Director, this matter is Wang Tiande's alone. We are not involved."

Before the village chief could say anything, someone stood up behind him.

When everyone looked over, they saw that it was a team leader from a different family.

At this moment, the hearts of the whole village sank.

Especially those who usually take advantage of the village cadres to gain benefits in the village were all trembling.

Accountant Wang, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at the person who stood up with his red eyes.

The accountant's wife was so angry that she pointed her finger at him and said, "You, you are adding insult to injury. You will not have a good death."

However, before she could continue, another person stepped forward and said, "Kick someone when they are down? If you don't do it, who can?"

"Yes, Director Liu, not only is he bullying others, he also wants to force them to marry their daughter to his lame son."

Then someone else came up and shouted, "His wife is in charge of serving food. She only gives Lu Tao a little bit every time, and the rest goes into her own mouth."

The accountant's wife felt very upset.

"Director Liu, I'm reporting this."

At this time, an old woman stood up from the crowd, looked at the village cadres, and then ignored their warnings and said directly, "I will report them for occupying public grain."

"The steamed bread they eat is made by Cao Hua. It looks like steamed bread on the outside, but it is filled with oil and sometimes a few pieces of meat."

After the old woman finished speaking, two or three of the people who cooked together immediately came out and said, "Yes, we can testify."

"Not only do they eat, they also occupy government tractors for private work."

At this moment, the village chief, the captain and several others only felt the cold wind whistling on their heads, and cold sweat broke out on their bodies layer after layer.

They wanted to refute, but they couldn't find any reason to refute.

If you don't want people to know, don't do it.

Once someone came forward to report it, more people immediately came forward.

"Director, I'm reporting Yi Zhonghai."

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, which startled Yi Zhonghai, who was trying hard to make his presence felt in the crowd.

"Yi Zhonghai is in the same group with them"

"No, no, I'm not."

Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up to refute, and an old lady also rushed over. They had finally gotten rid of their embarrassing identity and they couldn't fall again.

"No? You're not going to give a report?"

Director Liu said this coldly, and Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically. Then he quickly explained, "Director Liu, I only found out about this today. I, I didn't know about it before."

"Director Liu, it was all their fault. He, he, he taught me how to say it sentence by sentence. Lu Tao, yes, even Lu Tao knew about this."

Yi Zhonghai was very nervous. Thinking of the situation at that time, he unconsciously brought up Lu Tao.

An old lady at the side added hurriedly, "Yes, we also helped the Lu family. You can also ask about this."

Director Liu frowned and looked at the villagers around him.

However, no one in the village knew what Yi Zhonghai said. Even the decision to help the Lu family was made today and it has not been implemented yet.

However, Director Liu didn't know whether it was true or not, and he couldn't ask his superiors to verify it.

So, Director Liu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly and carefully walked aside and hid in the crowd.

Director Liu asked people to sort out the villagers' reports. After reading them one by one, he walked to the center of the crowd and said in a cold voice, "After the masses reported, there is still evidence collection and investigation."

"The Caojiagou Village Committee has obvious work style problems."

"In response to this, on behalf of the township, I will remove all village committee members from their posts in Caojiagou and conduct further investigations."

"Relevant personnel are not allowed to leave the village, and villagers must cooperate with the investigation."

As soon as the words fell, the village committee staff immediately turned pale.

"Wang Tiande used his position to oppress the villagers. There is solid evidence. He will be relieved of his position as accountant and taken back to be held accountable."

"Wang Cao used his family's privilege to deceive his superiors and subordinates. The evidence is solid. Take him back for investigation."

The couple immediately collapsed to the ground, and several militiamen came out from behind and arrested them.

Finally, everyone looked at Wang Peng, who was trembling with fear and whose pants were soaked.

Director Liu's eyes flashed with disgust, and then he said coldly, "Wang Peng, molesting women is a hooligan behavior, and it seriously harms the revolutionary construction."

"Take him back and deal with him according to the law."

Deal with it according to law?

Everyone in the village suddenly looked strange.

These days, legal education has not yet been carried out, especially in villages where people have a strong sense of local sentiment. Sometimes the law is not as important as a long sentence.

At this time, they really didn't feel anything.

However, after hearing the words "deal with it according to law", Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically.

This, this is a serious crime of eating peanuts.
