"Surrender?"

The room was dark, and a kerosene lamp was placed in front of Yang Lei without even a cover. The flames kept swaying with the wind coming in from behind Zhang Guo's body.

From the dim light, it could be seen that Yang Lei's face was in extreme pain.

It seems that the decision to "surrender" made him very determined.

"Yang Lei, what do you mean by this? I'm here to ask you to testify against Yang Jincang as a witness. I know that he has been kind to you, and you can't bear to expose him. But that's not the case now. Yaoyao is dead.

However, Yang Jincang, who is related to this matter, behaves like a normal person, which I absolutely cannot tolerate."

If he had to do it for someone, then he exposed Yang Jincang's crimes just for Yaoyao.

Obviously Yang Jincang could talk nicely, but under such circumstances, he deliberately provoked Yaoyao who was out of control. Yaoyao's death was inseparable from Yang Jincang.

This made Zhang Guoquan feel angry, and coupled with the fact that Yang Jincang had an illegitimate child, he had an even less favorable impression of this man.

What Yang Lei said about surrendering was because he made a mistake, and it was a big mistake.

When Yang Lei took office as village party secretary, Yang Jincang wanted to get rid of Xia Sujuan, but Xia Sujuan asked for a sum of money as child support, and Yang Jincang couldn't afford it for a while. From a small bribe before, to what happened later

A large bribe, Yang Lei was helping him operate all of this.

For what? Yang Lei's first thought was for Xia Zhu's child. The child was so pitiful. Yang Lei thought that having more money would make the child feel better.

It was a ridiculous idea. Yang Lei looked at himself with a mocking attitude when he said it.

He was just trying to convince his heart to let himself feel something like that. What he really thought was that Yang Jincang was willing to promote him.

Climb up and grab the power.

He helped Yang Jincang do these dirty things just for power. He said that power is addictive.

If you have experienced it for real, you will never forget the pleasure that power brings.

Yang Lei had a hard time because of his contact with Zhang Guoquan, who came to Yangjiazhuang to work as an intruder. His original purpose of becoming the village party secretary was to do something practical for the villagers in Yangjiazhuang, but Zhang Guoquan's frankness and justice made him suffer.

You want to be a good person, but at the same time you can't help but be a bad person.

As Yang Lei talked, he burst into tears, and he was repenting.

"Guoquan, I really want to be a good person."

Zhang Guoquan leaned weakly against the door frame, and then he realized that Yang Lei was a two-faced person. Living with such a person is the most tiring.

Yang Lei seems to be living in two worlds. During the day, he is passionate for Yangjiazhuang. At night, he is tortured for power. During the day, he is full of ambition under the light and shadow of Zhang Guoquan. At night, he is under the shadow of Yang Jincang.

Falling into deep self-blame.

Zhang Guoquan once said that Yang Lei can still be saved, and Zhang Guoquan still thinks so.

Otherwise, Yang Lei would not have told him to find Su Jincheng, and there would not have been any subsequent letters.

That night, Zhang Guoquan stayed with Yang Lei. Yang Lei was still drinking, and Zhang Guoquan drank with him.

After finishing the drink, after this night, that is, the next day, the storm in Yangjiazhuang was finally coming.

It was quiet before, just like countless mornings. When the first ray of morning light fell, the villagers came out of their houses, lit fires, cooked, and fed chickens, repeating these actions unshakably, day after day, year after year.

Year.

The smoke rises from the cooking pots, and the village looks peaceful.

The sky is still so blue, the leaves are still so green, and the wires are full of sparrows, chirping.

There are swallows flying at low altitude and the noisy cicadas chirping. Adding these together, the village is considered lively.

What's more lively than this is that something big happened in Yangjiazhuang.

Zhao Chunniu was taken away for investigation "again". This time it was different. Many people in plainclothes came, but a discerning eye could see that the identities of those people were not simple.

It was different from the last time. The last time Zhao Chunniu said he was under investigation and he went there by himself. Zhao Chunniu just said that and the villagers believed him.

This time it was no longer a matter of belief. The villagers realized that Zhao Chunniu might not come back this time.

The villagers discovered that not only Zhao Chunniu, but also Yang Lei was also taken along with him.

Half a month later, the affairs of Zhao Chunniu and Yang Lei became known to the public.

Then they suddenly realized that the Party Secretary Zhao and Party Secretary Yang they thought were actually doing illegal things secretly.

Even the last time the river burst its banks upstream had something to do with Zhao Chunniu. It was Zhao Chunniu who secretly colluded with the person upstream who had patted Zhang Guoquan's head in order to kill Zhang Guoquan. In the end, Zhang Guoquan was not killed, but some people were implicated.

innocent villagers.

Zhao Chunniu knew clearly that once the river burst its embankment, Zhang Guoquan's house would definitely not be saved, so it was a matter of course to crush him to death while he was sleeping.

The villagers think that Zhao Chunniu is so powerful and dares to play with anything. The villagers think it is because Zhao Chunniu has served as a soldier and crawled out from the dead. His temperament must be different from that of normal people. Only Zhao Chunniu himself knows if this is the reason.

, the villagers were too lazy to make it up.

Because there is no need to add any extra detail to make it up, the things they just know are enough for them to talk about it.

Many years later, when future generations talk about Yangjiazhuang and 1987, they will lament that 1987 was a disaster year for Yangjiazhuang.

That year, many people died. It was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. The human heart can be so terrible.

In the next few years, Yangjiazhuang was always peaceful. When the forgetful villagers recalled these things, they couldn't even understand them.

The whereabouts of Xia Sujuan and the child have become a mystery.

Shortly after Zhao Chunniu was arrested, Yang Jincang was also placed under investigation.

Just because of the incident between Zhao Chunniu and Yang Jincang, many people were involved, and all of this is due to Su Jincheng.

When Su Jincheng walks from behind the scenes to the stage, it means that Su Jincheng has put himself in a position, which is of course clean and clear.

Su Jincheng had no tolerance for the bad guys who were implicated. He used his own strength to resist the forces behind them, and finally made the entire environment clear and clear.

Su Jincheng, who hates evil as much as he hates it, can finally use his fists and make great achievements in Pingshan County.

When the villagers of Yangjiazhuang were weeding in the fields, they suddenly realized that they should thank one person. It was Zhang Guoquan who withstood the pressure and worked hard to expose these dirty things behind the scenes. So they felt that they should thank Zhang Guoquan.

Zhang Guoquan just said that if he had to thank one person, let him thank Yang Lei.

Yang Lei is now a sinner. The villagers don't understand why they should thank a sinner. Zhang Guoquan always behaves and speaks strangely, making it difficult for people to understand.

In Zhang Guoquan's heart, Yang Lei is still a good person to this day.

It has been a month since Yangjiazhuang calmed down again. Zhang Guoquan envied the villagers' forgetfulness.

He also wanted to forget some bad things, but he couldn't do it no matter what. Those things that had happened, good and bad, always appeared in his mind scene by scene, as if they were engraved in it, no matter how hard he waved it,

Not going.

That day, Zhang Guoquan was weeding in the field. There were many weeds growing in the field, and the tall corns were almost thigh-high.

From the mouths of the villagers who were also weeding in the river ditch, he learned that the village party secretary of Yangjiazhuang was temporarily replaced by Old Monster Yang, and they all said congratulations to Zhang Guoquan.

Old Monster Yang is an old party member. Although he has never been a branch secretary, he understands the affairs in the village. It is no problem for Old Monster Yang to temporarily manage Yangjiazhuang.

When will it be managed? There is no clear statement from the town.

Zhang Guoquan realized that the reason why there was no clear explanation must be related to the coal mine below Yangjiazhuang.

The village party secretary himself is an official as big as a sesame seed, and he can only speak for himself on the eighty-acre land in the village. But now that there is coal below Yangjiazhuang, this official as big as a sesame seed has become as big as a watermelon.

Just like Zhao Chunniu said, even the mayor would not change him.

Therefore, the higher-ups are still very cautious when it comes to Yangjiazhuang's village party secretary.

Of course Old Monster Yang was aware of this, and he started to smoke pot with great energy. He wandered around the village all day long, asking if this family had any difficulties and that family had any troubles.

Even Mr. Yang himself didn't expect that a big pie would fall from the sky for no reason, and he would get the position of village party secretary for nothing. The look on his face could not hide his pride.
