Chapter 405 Confrontation
Zhuang Aimin had his hands tied up like a maggot behind his back, and the villagers next to him immediately became as obedient as quails, squatting on the edge of the field, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
"Stay still, or come back with me to the police station later to calm down!" The old leader of the police station spoke sternly and loudly, and the group of villagers nodded in unison.
The two rescued journalists need to follow the police. Leaving them here alone is also a problem. There is also concern about insufficient manpower if two policemen are assigned to protect them. After all, there are so many people in the village. What can two policemen do?
After the three soldiers who turned back met up with Yi Chi, the four of them rushed into the mountains.
The educated youth, with their mouths gagged and their hands tied, were driven dejectedly by the villagers and quickly climbed over the low hill in front of them and went deeper into the area.
"Uncle Wang, where are we going?" a young man asked curiously.
"Why do you care where we're going? Just follow us." Before old man Wang could say anything, a middle-aged man opened his mouth and scolded him.
To lock up all these educated youth, of course we had to find a hidden place where they would not be easily discovered, preferably one where wild animals roamed, so that they would not even dare to escape.
The young man curled his lips secretly, then continued on his way with a sour face.
Seeing that he was in trouble, others did not dare to ask more questions and could only whisper a few words to their familiar friends.
When the educated youth saw this, they felt even more uneasy.
Zhao Chunjiang thought of the educated youth who died in the mountains. He clenched his bound hands into fists and began to think about how he could fight for his survival.
Among the female educated youth, Chen Xiaohua and Ma Yanna clearly looked like they had accepted their fate. They hung their heads, occasionally staggered, walked unsteadily, and had no expression on their faces.
Liu Qiang followed behind Fang Qianqian, also thinking about what to do. He couldn't just sit there and wait to die.
When Wu Aiqing stood up from the medicine field, he saw a group of people walking at the foot of the mountain from afar. He frowned, covered the medicine field with the dead branches and weeds next to him, then picked up his backpack and followed them.
So many people, where are they going?
Behind them were Wang Yu, Yi Chi and others.
Wu Aiqing was on a high place, taking cover behind the tree trunks, and following closely.
Wang Yu and his companions wanted to see where these people were going to take the educated youth, so they did not speak out or use weapons to stop them.
On the brigade side, the police and the villagers led by Aunt Zhuang were face to face. Both sides were holding guns, and no one moved.
Zhuang Shouren felt disheartened. He looked at the dozen or so policemen opposite him, each holding a gun. Although his side had more people, their weapons were limited. Coupled with the natural deterrent power of the police, they seemed like a group of ignorant bandits.
"Let that reporter go, Zhuang Shouren! Don't be stubborn. What are you doing now? Do you want to break the law? Do you want to go against the people?" The police spoke first, and the leading man had his eyes wide open and was full of righteousness.
Zhuang Shouren shook his head subconsciously, but as soon as he opened his mouth he was scared back by a glare from Aunt Zhuang.
"Comrade, you don't have to scare my useless son. We don't plan to say anything to this reporter. We are just discussing it with him. Don't be so nervous." Aunt Zhuang also showed a simple and honest smile. She said sincerely, "Today we are all here for one thing. That Zheng family, Lin Zhiqiu, the woman, killed someone and insisted on dragging the reporter to talk nonsense. We villagers are also worried that the reporter will believe her words. Isn't that worrying that people will misunderstand us. Police comrade, we are not bad people. We really don't plan to do anything..."
"If you don't plan to do anything, just let the person go! If you have anything to say, say it slowly in front of me! But it is wrong for you to tie up people like this. Don't say that I don't give you face. If you insist on doing those illegal things, then we don't have to continue arguing here." The police are not easy to fool. They just treat it as Aunt Zhuang's fart. The most important thing now is to let them release the people. Speaking of which, how come they haven't seen any of those educated youth?
"Let them go, of course. It's no use for us to catch the journalists. As long as the journalists are willing to listen to us, we will definitely treat them well. In fact, if it weren't for some people talking nonsense, we and the journalists would get along very happily. My son even had lunch with them at noon, and we were talking and laughing. That's the hospitable nature of us farmers!" Aunt Zhuang said a lot of nonsense, but in fact she just wanted the journalists to promise that she would not talk nonsense.
But do the journalists' assurances have any practical significance? Not at all.
They said they would not report what they heard. Could they really do that? Aunt Zhuang herself did not believe it.
But what can they do if they don't believe it? The police are here now. They can't really detain the person, or just kill him outright. Since they are destined to let him go, asking for a guarantee seems to be the last brick that holds down the fig leaf of the construction team.
It was all the fault of those damned educated youth. That damned Lin Zhiqiu, how could she have recovered her memory now? How could she just happen to meet a reporter! If it weren't for this, no matter how many reporters the educated youth attracted, it would only benefit the construction team!
Damn little whore, I'm going to burn her to death tonight!
"We are here to listen. We will write down whatever you have to say. Let my colleague go. We are here right under the noses of the police. We promise to record every word you say!" The reporter with the camera spoke first. The person being arrested was their leader, a scholar with a thin skin, but he could not stand the torture of those cruel people.
Aunt Zhuang nodded with satisfaction, "I will definitely release it. Then let's sit down first and listen to our story. When you finish writing, I will let your leader go home with you."
"Don't listen to her nonsense, Zhuang Shouren, you are the captain of the construction team, I will ask you one last time, will you release this man or not? I am not negotiating with you, this is the last time I will ask you!" The policeman was very angry. The people in the construction team must be crazy, and they want us to listen to your stories about your grandmother! They are getting too arrogant, right? A bunch of farmers are not farming properly and are going to rebel!
"Shoot, shoot, shoot, we'll shoot now!" Zhuang Shouren was so scared when he saw that the guns were pointed at him that his legs were shaking. He didn't care whether his mother was happy or not and wanted to release them immediately.
