"Zhao Mingde?" Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one could react to who this was.

At this time, Wang Lanhua, who had stayed at home all morning, came out and said with a smile: "Yes, comrades, what do you want to talk to my old man about? He went to the commune meeting today and is not at home."

The team leader said seriously, "We've received a report that Zhao Mingde embezzled resettlement funds for educated youths. We've been ordered to search the area. Here's a search warrant!"

When Wang Lanhua heard this, her face suddenly became panicked, but returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

He said in disbelief, "Oh, how is this possible? You must have made a mistake. My old man has always worked diligently and treated the educated youths more dearly than his own children. How could he possibly embezzle the resettlement funds for the educated youths?"

The team leader curled his lips and said, "The evidence is irrefutable. Zhao Mingde has been arrested. Search everything, even if we have to turn the place upside down, to find him."

Jiang Yanqiu also became nervous. Firstly, it was the first time she had seen such an occasion in this era, and secondly, she was worried that the gold in the cowshed would be taken away.

Based on her experience, there must be a lot of those things. If they fall into the hands of these people, it is hard to say how much they can hand over!

Before these people could start to act, the gossipy aunties and aunties in the village came running over with hoes, shovels, axes and other tools, and stopped them from searching.

They were all very arrogant and started to curse at these people, cursing their ancestors for eighteen generations. Some of them even lay on the ground and acted like a spoiled child.

The men also picked up various farm tools and stood outside the yard. The militia also carried their hunting rifles and surrounded the Zhao family's yard.

They looked as if they would rush in and beat people up if someone tried to search them.

It was the first time that Jiang Yanqiu saw the grand scene of unity among rural people in this era!

Although they have many conflicts on a daily basis, they absolutely do not allow people from other villages to come to the village to bully others.

Just like now, we don’t even know what’s going on, but we go forward to maintain it.

When the whole village unites, its strength is really formidable, no less than that of an armed force.

The team leader was not in a hurry either, as if he had expected this to happen, and watched everything calmly.

After everyone had grown tired of cursing and quieted down, he finally spoke loudly, "Zhao Mingde embezzled over ten thousand yuan in resettlement funds for educated youth. Did you also take part in this? Anyone who interferes with our official duties will be taken away! Even if we can't take you away today, someone else will come tomorrow. By then, it won't be us who comes, but someone else. Anyone who interferes with our official duties will be punished!"

Li Hehua, who had just been crying as if her father had died, suddenly stood up and asked in surprise, "What resettlement fee? Did they embezzle tens of thousands of yuan?"

The team leader then explained, "After investigation, we found that the educated youth from big cities like the Imperial Capital and the Magic City in your brigade originally received 400 yuan in resettlement pay when they went to the countryside. Since last year, this has been reduced to 200 yuan. However, the highest amount recorded in your brigade's accounts over the years has only been 125 yuan. Our investigation shows that all of this money was embezzled by Zhao Mingde and his accomplices. If you're blocking our search, could it be that you're also Zhao Mingde's accomplices?"

The aunties who had been making such a fuss suddenly stood up and asked, "How many are there? There must be at least forty or fifty educated youth from big cities who have come to our village in the past few years. Even if Zhao only charges a hundred per person, that's still four or five thousand. How can Zhao be so ruthless? Isn't he afraid of giving birth to a son without an anus... Pah, the family that gave birth to a grandson without an anus is so ruthless."

After the aunt finished speaking, she felt something was not right and immediately changed her words, saying that Village Chief Zhao was so old, how could he still have the ability to give birth to a son?

The leader continued, "Do you think Zhao Mingbai's children earned the money to buy houses in the city? How much subsidy does he get in a year? His second son has a house in the district, his eldest son has a house in Fengcheng, and his eldest daughter has a house in the capital, but they were all bought with money he gave them, which must have cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan."

When everyone heard this number, they were all shocked. I'm afraid that even if all the money in their entire village was added together, it wouldn't be that much.

No wonder Zhao Guiqin was able to follow her husband to the capital. It turned out that the house was paid for by the Zhao family. Was the job also arranged by the Zhao family?

This time no one could stop them. Everyone took the initiative to give way to others and begged them to help get the money back.

Just now, all those people turned to curse Village Chief Zhao and his ancestors.

There is nothing they can't scold you for, except what you can't think of.

Village Chief Zhao looks kind, but I didn’t expect him to have such a dark heart!

The team leader and Accountant Li only had black faces, he was black from the inside out.

Accountant Li and the team leader who were hiding in the crowd said: Just curse us if you want, but why did you involve us in this?

Then everyone sighed and wondered why other brigades had money to buy tractors but their village didn’t.

After all this time, it turned out that Village Chief Zhao had used the money to buy a house for her son and daughter!

How rich must one be to be able to buy a house in this capital city?

They don’t know how expensive housing prices are in the capital, but in the past, every household of the educated youth who came to the village didn’t have enough housing to live in.

There is also a person who went to the countryside because he had no place to live at home. It’s a pity that his family was in such a tight housing situation.

Wang Lanhua and her daughter wanted to stop the other party from entering the house, but were stopped by several aunts from the village!

Wang Lanhua yelled at the villagers for being heartless, saying that Village Chief Zhao had made so many contributions to the village, but everyone teamed up with outsiders to bully her family.

As soon as she finished speaking, someone slapped Wang Lanhua in the face.

He also listed all the mistakes their family had made over the years, so many that they couldn't count them all.

My goodness, even the collective Niu and Zhao families have dozens of pieces of evidence against themselves. This is really a case of everyone pushing down the wall when it falls!

Just like what is written in the book, once the team leader stepped down, all his usual actions of supervising everyone at work became wrong.

The team leader was a little overwhelmed by this reversal.

This is too awesome.

If these people join them, they will be able to act arrogantly in various brigades in the future.

No one stopped them, and after a group of people quickly entered, the sound of rummaging through drawers could be heard.

The Zhao family's yard was almost dug three feet deep, and the trees in the yard were uprooted.

Most people were seeing the occasion for the first time, and each one was more terrified than the other.

Fortunately, he just took a quick look in the cowshed and pigpen and came out.

Someone is digging manure inside now, and the manure hasn’t been dug out yet. If there is something hidden inside, why would they let outsiders dig manure inside?

Jiang Yanqiu also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, only more than 1,000 yuan in cash was found in Qin Guixiang and Wang Lanhua's house.
