Chapter 256 Secret visit to Hongxing Village
Villagers of Hongxing Village?
I have visited so many times but always come back. Now that Lu Ye has someone send a message to him, what does it mean?
Could there be a turning point in Hongxing Village?
Luo Yong guessed.
Back in the office, Luo Yong gave orders directly to the members of the task force.
"You three are so angry, put on the clothes of migrant workers and follow me to Hongxing Village for another secret visit."
"Yes, team leader."
Upon hearing this, the team members hurriedly took action.
A group of four people quickly put on simple makeup and dressed themselves up as grain merchants who went to the countryside to collect grain.
Driving a walking tractor, the four of them entered Hongxing Village.
Every year after harvesting grain in autumn, many grain dealers in the village come to collect grain. If the villagers are not too obsessed with price comparison, they don't need to go out to sell by themselves.
Luo Yong wore a straw hat on his head and deliberately glued two fake beards on his face to disguise himself.
"Collect grain, harvest grain! Harvest soybeans and corn."
The hand-held tractor was circling slowly in the village. Luo Yong was sitting in the back of the tractor, shouting for a while.
"How to harvest corn?" Villagers passing by asked when they saw someone entering the village to collect grain.
"3 cents." Luo Yong replied.
"Why is it so low? Someone came to collect it the day before yesterday and we didn't even sell it for 4 cents. Are you talking nonsense about giving us 3 cents?"
The villager pouted, shook his head, and walked away with his hoe.
"Don't worry, if you are sincere in selling, we can discuss it again," Luo Yong shouted after him.
"You are not sincere, I won't sell it to you." Unexpectedly, the old farmer turned around and said something, and walked away.
The two team members in the car also snickered when they saw Luo Yong slumped.
"Boss, I've heard for a long time that the villagers in Hongxing Village are quite difficult to deal with. They live a miserable life, but they all have quite good tempers. We have seen it today."
"Keep shouting."
Luo Yong reached out and pulled the straw hat on his head, covering his face with the brim of the hat, and then continued to shout.
"The grain has been harvested. Who sells the grain? The grain is collected at a high price."
The hand-held tractor continued to move forward, passing one house after another, but no one came out to inquire.
This attracted Luo Yong's attention. He was an old investigator. He disguised himself as a grain merchant and went to the village to collect grain not once or twice. But here in Hongxing Village, no one inquired about the price after shouting for so long. This was still the first time.
Once met.
"Boss, it's been more than half an hour. Let's not say that there are people selling grain. There are only a few people asking about the price. Is this too abnormal?" Even the less experienced team members can see this.
.
"Yes, team leader, why is this Hongxing Village so lifeless? They should be happy about harvesting grain in autumn. What is going on now? It's too abnormal."
After hearing this, Luo Yong thought for a while and saw the door of a house in front of him was open. He guessed that there must be someone in the house. He rolled his eyes and came up with a solution.
"Go to the house in front of you, park the car, and I'll go down and take a look." Luo Yong patted the driver's shoulder and said to the team member who was driving the hand tractor.
"good."
Tu tu tu tu…
The hand-held tractor, emitting a burst of black smoke, stopped outside the wooden gate.
Luo Yong jumped out of the truck, reached back and took out a metal bucket from the truck, and walked into the yard with it.
The yard is not big. There is an adobe house in the yard, which has begun to sink underground due to age. Many places on the wall have fallen off, making it quite old.
As he walked forward, he shouted loudly: "Is anyone home?"
"Who is it?" A boy in the room also shouted.
"Brother, I'm here to collect grain. I've been wandering around the village for a long time. The four-wheeled water tank is boiling. I want to ask you for some water."
Luo Yong shouted into the house.
In rural areas, although there are few agricultural machinery, everyone has still seen it. There is a water tank on the old-fashioned engine to cool the engine. There is a water injection port on the water tank. Whenever the four wheels are used for a long time, this water tank
The water inside will be heated by the engine and finally boil, which is commonly known as boiling here.
At this time, the owner of the tractor has to go find fresh water nearby and fill the water tank to cool down the temperature.
"Oh, okay, there is water in the water tank in the house, come over and get it."
A young man's figure in the door leaned out half of his body and looked at Luo Yong. He thought Luo Yong was really here to ask for water, so the young man didn't take it seriously and said very politely.
Coincidentally, this young man is Liu Xiaozi, and this shabby adobe house is Liu Xiaozi's home.
"thank you!"
Luo Yong shouted and walked into the house with a tin bucket. The ground was low and the ground outside the house was higher than the ground inside. If it were not blocked by the threshold, even the rain would pour into the house.
"Where is the water tank? You can just fetch water." Liu Xiaozi pointed at the water tank standing outside the house and said to Luo Yong.
"Okay." Luo Yong placed the iron bucket in front of the water tank, picked up the water ladle from the lid of the water tank, and began to slowly pour water.
"This guy's, I've been walking around the village for a long time, shouting about harvesting grain until my throat was dry, but no one came to ask about the price, and no one came to sell grain. Your village is really strange." Luo Yong.
If you have something to say,
"It's not surprising. The villagers in our village have very little land, and it's basically dry land. They can't produce much grain in a year. Every household provides it like a treasure, waiting for the price of grain.
When the price is high, it will be better to take the grain to the grain station to sell it in person than to sell it to you."
Liu Xiaozi didn't think much, he just replied casually and told Luo Yong the underlying reason.
"No way, no matter how little land you have, how can you lose it? I think Hongxing Village is so big, so it shouldn't be." Luo Yong said softly, pretending not to believe it.
"Why are you lying to me? There is a lot of land in the village, but the good land has been taken away by others. It is not our common people's turn at all. Whoever cultivates bad land will pay for it. If you can't get food, you have to pay taxes. Gradually,
No one is planting anymore. Now every household relies on the small grain fields to get food. Each family only has two or three acres of land. How much harvest can they get? Not all of them are precious." Liu Xiaozi sighed.
.
"There are so few, no wonder no one is willing to sell it. Such is the relationship, but there is so much good land, and you haven't got any of it? Aren't the contracted fields in the village going to be open for bidding? Why don't you all participate?
Huh?" Luo Yong asked again.
"What are you participating in? Before we knew what was going on, the bidding for the good land had already been completed, and we were allowed to participate in the rest of the bad land. The land was full of big rocks. How to plant it? These guys are bad guys.
We're home." As soon as he mentioned this, Liu Xiaozi felt angry again.
"Then this is quite damaging. Isn't this harming the common people? Haven't you ever thought about filing a lawsuit?" Luo Yong saw that Liu Xiaozi was getting angry and continued to incite anger.
When Liu Xiaozi heard this, he looked at Luo Yong and saw that he was familiar. He knew that Luo Yong was not from here, so he said: "Who are you suing? Our village chief Zhang Quan has been overbearing for more than a day or two. He has a big backer behind him."
, even our township chief dare not take care of him. When you enter the village, you should see those three small western-style buildings, and one of them belongs to Zhang Quan,"
"I saw it, and I was thinking that the people in your village are really rich. This small western-style building is so well built, it is no worse than the villa in the municipal party committee compound. After working on it for a long time, it belongs to your village chief's house.
." When Luo Yong heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he asked again:
"Then what kind of people live in the other two small western-style buildings? They should be pretty awesome, right?"
"The other two buildings are occupied by one of Luancheng's top leaders, Secretary Zhang's old father-in-law, and the middle building is the home of Secretary Zhang's brother-in-law. Most of the good land in the village has been reserved by him, and the rest is in Zhang Quan's house.
It’s in our hands. As long as these people are here, our village will never get better.”
Liu Xiaozi felt extremely angry, and when he said this, he was gnashing his teeth.
"No wonder, no wonder, when I decided to come to your Hongxing Village to collect grain, someone knowledgeable and knowledgeable told me to be more careful when I came to your place. They said that some time ago, the village chief of your Hongxing Village hired
A large number of security guards almost beat people to death while guarding the eco-technology greenhouse base. Is this true?"
Luo Yong rolled his eyes and immediately turned the conversation to the beating incident.
"This has been going on for a long time. It was fought at the greenhouse base. Not many people in our village saw it. Everyone spread rumors about what happened. We don't know. Some people outside said that we were the ones who beat people.
The villagers in the village, that’s all nonsense. I’ve seen those people, but none of them are from our village. I’ve seen a few of them on Dog Street, and they are all a group of hooligans and gangsters.”
"And they are not security guards. These people just took advantage of Zhang Quan and the others and deliberately guarded the greenhouse to prevent it from being demolished. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to take it for themselves, so they came to find those big gangsters.
, the contractor who was beaten was also unlucky, and he was just trying to scare other people."
"Didn't you say that no one saw it? How did you know that you were trying to scare the monkeys?" Luo Yong asked.
"Haha, with so many people in our village, someone must have seen it. Otherwise, how would I know? It's just that they don't want to cause trouble, so they just pretend not to know."
After chatting for a long time, Liu Xiaozi didn't take too much precautions and vomited for a while. His originally suppressed heart was relaxed at this moment and he said softly to Luo Yong.
"Has anyone really seen it?" Luo Yong lowered his voice deliberately, with a look of curiosity on his face.
"Yes, people not only saw it, but also heard clearly how those big gangsters discussed and how they acted. They saw it very clearly. Otherwise, how can we say that the contractor was killed?
As for the chickens, those people are not security guards at all, they are just a group of thugs."
"After abolishing that contractor, look at what's going on at the greenhouse base now. No one dares to come to demolish the greenhouse anymore. They are all honest. What do you think the situation is now? Not all belong to Zhang.
Do they all own it?"
"Everyone has already closed their sheds, and after the autumn harvest, they will start planting."
When Luo Yong heard Liu Xiaozi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. This was key information. If this witness was found, then there would be a key progress in the case.
He hurriedly asked: "Who saw it?"
"Haha, I don't want to say it myself, why am I so talkative? Stop being so curious, I can't tell you." Liu Xiaozi chuckled and shook his head.
Seeing that Liu Xiaozi still refused to talk, Luo Yong was anxious, but he did not continue to ask questions in order to avoid disturbing the situation.
"Enough water, thank you, big brother."
"You don't have to be so polite about a little water."
The iron bucket was already filled with water. Luo Yong held the bucket in one hand and walked towards the outside of the house.
Chapter completed!
