Chapter 104: Down to the Village
Chapter 104: Down to the Village
Within a few days, Tang Yu's "identity" spread throughout the town.
Tang Yu didn't know this and continued to fight crime, filling up the small detention room in just a few days.
It’s no wonder that Tang Yu’s skills are quite good. There are many prisoners with strong physiques, but they still couldn’t escape being caught.
Even though Qi Tongwei was gifted in fighting skills, he didn't think he could defeat his opponent in terms of skills.
Of course, if a fight really breaks out, Qi Tongwei should have no problem taking down a woman with his extraordinary strength.
The continuous arrests made Yang An very anxious. Even the town knew about it and kept putting pressure on him.
Yang An could no longer sit still and didn't dare to continue drinking tea and reading the newspaper, so he urgently convened a rare meeting.
"Oh my god, ancestor, please don't arrest anyone anymore." Yang An called out Tang Yu's name as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tang Yu was full of indignation, "Director, did you accept any benefits? Why are you helping criminals to speak up?"
"Auntie, I'm doing this for your own good!"
"What's good for me? If it's good for me, you should support me!"
"..." Yang An was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that others were ready to shoot him in the back.
Yang An had no choice but to turn his attention to Qi Tongwei, hoping that this "second-generation rich man who lies down" could spread his thoughts to the "second-generation rich man who struggles" and that it would be better to lie down.
Qi Tongwei silently lit a cigarette and pretended not to see it.
Yang An snatched the match from Qi Tongwei: "Comrade Tongwei, come and talk to her."
Qi Tongwei was stunned and remained silent for a while, "Comrade Tang Yu, on behalf of the institute, I commend you for your determination and ability to bravely fight criminals.
But our agency has limited funding. You see, the people you catch are just petty thieves. According to the latest laws and regulations, they can only be detained for a few months at most, but our funding cannot afford it. "
"The daily expenses for food alone will be huge, and then we comrades will have nothing to eat."
Catching thieves has indeed affected the station's finances. Not only has it cut off income, but it has also created additional expenses.
As for sending it to the county, the cost will be even higher.
"Yes, yes, especially Xiao Long. One meal of his is equivalent to the food for three of us. If this goes on, we will be out of food before the end of the month." Yang An added.
Xiao Long: No, why does it involve me?
Tang Yu thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. However, she would not be easily persuaded: "I still disagree. If we just let them go without any punishment, they will commit the crime again."
Of course I will do it again. If I don’t steal, what will everyone eat?
"How about this, let them pay the fine!" Qi Tongwei made a suggestion.
This idea was unanimously recognized by everyone. In fact, fines are a common practice in many places and are not new.
Tang Yu shook his head, "Won't they steal again?"
"..."
Qi Tongwei slapped his forehead and gave up trying to save this heroic woman. He looked at his watch and said, "Director Yang, Mayor Jiang asked me to go to the countryside today. You guys continue the meeting. I will support whatever result you come up with."
After saying this, he stood up and left without paying attention to the gazes of everyone present.
Seeing this, Xiao Long remembered his secret protection mission and stood up, "Director, I will go with Comrade Qi."
“Go, go.” Yang An waved his hand with a headache.
The group continued their discussion.
Qi Tongwei rode on the Suzuki King and took Xiao Long with him, roaring all the way into the town government.
The town government is also a large courtyard, but this courtyard is much larger. It includes two two-story buildings, one for office and the other for dormitory.
The entire building is built with red bricks and black tiles, which is quite good, but it looks a bit shabby to Qi Tongwei.
Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Jiang Beihan, who had been waiting, walked out of the office and greeted Qi Tongwei.
Another group of people came out to watch the fun. Qi Tongwei only recognized one man from Jiangbei. As for Zuo Ping, Sun Ke and others, he didn't know any of them and was too lazy to go up and say hello.
Jiang Beihan took Qi Tongwei to the warehouse of the town government. It was called a warehouse, but it was actually an empty room.
There were all kinds of things piled inside, including farm tools, rice, flour, corn, etc., all of which were allocated by the county.
Two large bags of salt were taken from the warehouse and loaded onto Qi Tongwei's motorcycle.
He also asked his assistant to load two large bags of rice into his car.
With a note, two motorcycles drove out of the town government compound under the gaze of a group of people.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Beihan was leading the way on an old motorcycle, while Qi Tongwei was following behind on a majestic Suzuki King. Those who didn’t know might have thought that Qi Tongwei was the mayor.
This time, Jiang Beihan went to Qiaojia Village in Feiyingling, a well-deserved poor village.
The village is deeper in the mountains.
After leaving the main road, the road turned into a mountain road less than one meter wide. Qi Tongwei was a little scared while riding.
Half an hour later, the road was suddenly open.
A large group of small houses appeared on the hillside.
The roar of the motorcycle quickly attracted the farmers.
"Hey, Mayor Jiang, why are you here?" A half-naked middle-aged man came out to greet them.
"This is the party secretary of Qiaojia Village." Jiang Beihan introduced him to Qi Tongwei at the right time.
"Old Qiao, come and see our village. How is the late rice harvest going?"
"Thanks to the government, the seeds have been planted. The weather has been good recently and the crops are growing well!" Secretary Qiao happily showed off his row of yellow teeth.
"That's good. I brought some supplies with me. You can share them with the villagers."
Secretary Qiao quickly called the villagers and stepped forward to help.
"It's salt." The villagers shouted in surprise.
Villagers in Jinshan County can still borrow salt from each other, but in most parts of Guying Town, people can't even afford salt, let alone borrow it.
In order to replenish salt, apart from government relief, the other people had to rely on hunting animals to exchange for salt in the town, and even crawl to the county to exchange more.
"Tongwei, this is the poorest village in our Guying Town, Qiaojia Village. Going around the mountain over there is Guying Ridge, Sunjia Village.
Our Lone Eagle Town is named after Lone Eagle Ridge, which was the poorest village in the past. However, in recent years, I heard that the animals in Lone Eagle Ridge have become more abundant, and everyone is finally not hungry anymore. "
Qi Tongwei took a serious look at Jiang Beihan, not knowing whether the other party really didn't know or was pretending not to know. Guyingling was not developed by dabbling, it was clearly making drugs.
"Mayor, are these the only people in our Qiaojia Village?" A rough count showed that there were only about a hundred villagers who came to collect supplies.
"No, no, this is only a part of it. Most people don't go out because they don't have extra clothes at home. Only when someone needs to go out will they change into the remaining clothes at home."
Qi Tongwei was a little bit unbelievable after hearing this. He had only seen such plots on TV in his previous life.
"Don't you believe it?"
Jiang Beihan said in a deep voice: "In fact, I don't believe that there is still such a place in the great wave of reform."
