The leader is my girlfriend

"Zhang Ciming? It's really unexpected! You actually have such a name." Wang Kai said expressionlessly, while gently placing the notebook in his hand on the table, and then slowly sat down opposite the village chief.

Village chief Zhang Ciming raised his head slightly and looked at Wang Kai, his eyes full of calmness.

Wang Kai then spoke, "Do you know why we haven't interrogated you until now? To be honest, your testimony isn't actually that crucial. Zhang Ping and Zhang An have been apprehended, and Cheng Yi (the township head's son), the man behind this, is also under custody and investigation. They've already confessed everything they should. I'm talking to you today simply to fill in some details."

Hearing this, Zhang Ciming suddenly interrupted Wang Kai and took all the blame.

"No need for interrogation, I admit everything! I was the one who orchestrated everything that happened in Zhangjia Village. The villagers were all manipulated by me."

Wang Kai sneered and retorted bluntly, "They're all adults, and they're under your orders? Don't they have any judgment or independent thinking?"

Zhang Ciming seemed to be prepared. He straightened up and responded loudly, "Yes, I am the head of the village and the patriarch of the Zhang family. Naturally, I have the final say."

Wang Kai frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Okay, even so. What about Zhang An? A deputy director, a public official, is also at your mercy?"

Zhang Ciming replied confidently, "Of course. No matter how high his official rank is, he is still my son. As the saying goes, 'A father is the leader of his sons.'"

"Do you think you can really protect these people by doing this?" Wang Kai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. He obviously thought Zhang Ciming's idea was childish and laughable.

Hearing this, Zhang Ciming acted clueless and responded innocently.

"I'm old and I don't understand what you're saying."

Wang Kai snorted coldly, stared at Zhang Ciming with a sharp gaze, and spoke seriously,

"I told you long ago that you were the last person to be interrogated. What does that mean? Everyone else in the village has already been interrogated! Everyone who should have confessed has already confessed."

Zhang Ciming's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm and continued to argue.

"They're just talking nonsense. Buying one woman gets a maximum sentence of three years. Multiple crimes don't get combined sentences. Buying 10 women, buying 100 women is still three years, so it's all my fault. I got carried away and made a mistake."

"Are you the only one who bought all the women in the village?" Wang Kai asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhang Ciming nodded without hesitation.

Wang Kai picked up the cup and drank a sip of water, then threw out a piece of news that shocked Zhang Ciming.

"We found some skeletons during the search. Judging from the current situation, at least half of the families in this village will be arrested for intentional homicide!"

"Impossible!" Zhang Ciming lost his voice and his face gradually turned pale.

Wang Kai stared at his mood changes, smiled coldly, and continued to ask,

"It seems this is something you don't know. So why don't you guess what the skeleton is?"

Zhang Ciming's lips trembled and he was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he stammered and retorted,

"..., you're deceiving me."

Wang Kai looked at him expressionlessly, speaking word by word, "It's a baby girl. And there are more than just two baby girl skeletons. The skeletons of baby girls have been found at the doorsteps and in the backyards of more than half of the villagers' homes."

Zhang Ciming struggled to stand up, but was instantly pinned down by the soldier guarding him, making him unable to move at all.

"Killing a baby girl is also considered intentional homicide under the law. Intentional homicide is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or a fixed-term sentence of ten years or more. If a baby girl is killed due to the feudal idea of ​​favoring sons over daughters, then this is not only intentional homicide, but may also constitute other crimes, such as abuse or abandonment. These acts will be severely punished by law." Wang Kai explained righteously, and every word was like a sword piercing Zhang Ciming's heart.

Zhang Ciming widened his eyes, his eyes full of anger.

"You are angry that your villagers did not follow your requirements, right? You don't think your behavior is wrong." Wang Kai stared at Zhang Ciming and continued to question him.

Zhang Ciming clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks bulged from excessive exertion, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked like a wild beast about to lose control.

Just when everyone thought he would explode again, he suddenly and unexpectedly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha... Never mind, you can do whatever you want to me if I don't obey."

Wang Kai applauded, and after the applause died down, he began to talk about the next search result.

"Oh, by the way, your son, Zhang Ping, was among those disobedient people! There's an excavation site right in front of your house. It's really like 'father is the leader of the son,' stepping in and out of your granddaughter's bones every day. Don't you feel guilty?"

Facing Wang Kai's questioning, Zhang Ciming remained silent, "......"

However, Wang Kai did not give up. He continued to ask, "I am a little curious. According to your plan, what should be done with these innocent baby girls in the end?"

At this moment, Zhang Ciming, who had been silent, suddenly sneered and answered nonchalantly,

"What else can I do? I'll just throw it into the pigpen and feed it to the pigs."

"Feed the pigs?" Wang Kai clenched his hands tightly behind his back and repeated the answer he heard.

"Yes, pigs are omnivores and they eat everything. Look, the task pigs in our village are all fat and strong, much better than the pigs in other villages. Survival of the fittest, it's a waste of food to give birth to them, it's better to feed them as food, so they have a place to go." Zhang Ciming said it lightly, not taking this cruel behavior to heart at all.

All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked. Wang Kai nodded at Wang Yiming and was about to ask someone to take Zhang Ciming away.

"You think what you say makes sense, but where did you hear this fallacy?" At this time, Wang Yiming raised his question.

"No need to be self-righteous, what I said is just the truth." Zhang Ciming waved his hand disapprovingly, looking nonchalant.

"There are very few people in the village who can read and write, but I went to school and had a teacher who taught me, so the knowledge I learned was naturally orthodox. Today, I will tell you a story from history. Have you ever heard of the term 'two-legged sheep'?"

“…….” Wang Yiming looked at him without answering.

Zhang Ciming continued to talk to himself.

"In years of famine, people eat each other." This means that during years of famine, when there is no harvest, people are forced to eat each other out of hunger.

Sheep have four legs, and humans have two legs. People are regarded as sheep, and thus the term "two-legged sheep" came into being.

The meat of young women is tender and juicy, and tastes very delicious, so they are called "Buxiyang".

Young children have delicate bones and flesh, and can be eaten with the flesh and bones together, so they are called "rotten bones".

The old man's skin was rough and his flesh was dry, so he couldn't be cooked all at once and needed more firewood, hence the name "Rao Ba Huo".

Can you deny the Five Barbarians' invasion of China? Can you deny the famine that followed the Jingkang Incident? Didn't the Ming and Qing dynasties' sieges also rely on human resources for food? I have never bothered to whitewash the prosperity of the past. I only wish to face the truth of history and learn from it.

"Use copper as a mirror to correct your attire; use people as a mirror to understand gains and losses; use history as a mirror to understand the rise and fall of things. So, what do you know?" Wang Yiming thought of a sentence that came later - how could there be such shameless people in this world.

"I know. There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. So, it was a little milder in my case and changed to personnel migration." Zhang Ciming answered frankly.

"Human migration?" Is there another name for trafficking?

"One hundred thousand Hunan girls went to Tianshan Mountain. It's the same thing, just one is voluntary and the other is not. That's all, isn't it?" Zhang Ciming answered with certainty. There is a terrible crime that is not thinking that one's behavior is wrong.

(In 50 years, 20 veterans in New Taiwan remained single, so 10 unmarried female soldiers were recruited nationwide to undertake cultural education, promote the cultural improvement of the troops, and introduce marriages with officers and soldiers through the organization, contributing to the construction of New Taiwan.)

"Since the peaceful liberation of New Taiwan, the average age of soldiers in the army has been around 38, and almost all of them are from mainland China, coming from all over the country. These soldiers joined the army at a young age, and some have fought for more than a decade, resulting in the majority of the troops being single.

According to Xinjiang customs, local girls cannot marry Han Chinese. If the living problems of the soldiers are not solved, how can 20 soldiers settle down and take root in Xinjiang? How can you confuse them?

At one time, Wang Yiming did not understand such behavior, but when he talked about this topic with an elder, the elder’s answer was that if he did not do this, he might rebel.

"If I don't do this, Zhangjia Village will be destroyed. Here, there can be no country, there can be no laws, but the bloodline of the Zhang family must continue, and it must not be cut off in my hands." Zhang Ciming was even more reasonable at this time.

"If a village has to rely on such despicable means to survive, it would be better for it to simply perish, which would be a cleaner solution." Wang Yiming walked up to Zhang Ciming, bent down and looked him in the eye.

"Don't you think it's ridiculous that the governor set fire and the people lit lamps? I did what I thought was right. What would happen even if you killed me? Every family in this village has descendants, and I am responsible for them."

Wang Yiming grabbed Zhang Ciming by the collar and asked, "Who will be responsible for those female comrades you abducted and trafficked here by any means?"

"You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you gain something, you'll lose something too. Besides..." Zhang Ciming paused for a moment, as if he was considering what to say next.

"And what?"

"Well, in that case, let's make a bet! No, the Master once taught that a gentleman doesn't gamble and a villain doesn't dance, so let me give you my guess!

Although these women were taken away by you, they no longer have a place to stay. The indifference of their families and the rumors from the outside world are more than they can bear, so in the end, they will still return to Zhangjia Village. Although this place has harmed them, it has become their roots in disguise.

Livestock, if you tie them up for too long, won't even run away when you untie them."

"You are worse than an animal." Wang Yiming loosened Zhang Ciming's collar. He felt dirty just by touching him, dirty from the inside out.

Facing Wang Yiming's rebuke, Zhang Ciming shamelessly argued, "At least, what I have done is worthy of the ancestors of the Zhang family!"

Wang Yiming snorted coldly, "Zhang family? Do you know who submitted the manuscript that brought us here?"

Zhang Ciming asked suspiciously, "Who? Who is it?"

Wang Yiming took a step back, and Wang Kai walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and smiled contemptuously.

"Take your time to guess."

Zhang Ciming's face suddenly changed, and he roared in anger, "If someone from Zhangjia Village did this, then he doesn't deserve to enter the ancestral tomb! Who is it!"
