Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 145 Liu Qingsong's Discovery
"What are you borrowing? Was coal something that ordinary people like us could buy and sell in the 1970s and 1980s?" Liu Qingsong was stunned when he heard this and frowned, "Second sister, if you want your eldest brother-in-law to go to jail, lend it to him, or just scold him to wake him up. He doesn't even care about his own weight and dares to sell anything."

"No...it's not as serious as you said, right?" Liu Lijuan was stunned.

He saw many people secretly buying and selling coal in the black market, and no one was in charge, nor did he see anything going wrong!

"If you don't believe it, you can go to Mr. Tao and see what he says." Liu Qingsong replied unhappily.

"Okay! I'll go ask." Liu Lijuan turned around and ran towards Pangdun's house.

……

Liu Qingsong didn't bother to care.

Instead, he took Ye Xiaoxiao, Xiao Taoqi, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei to eat.

Just when they were about to finish eating, Liu Lijuan came back, but she looked unhappy.

"What does Mr. Tao say?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"He said that someone is definitely plotting against my brother-in-law. Otherwise, how could they ask my brother-in-law to sell coal? Because the qualification to sell coal is currently owned by the public, and private individuals cannot buy or sell it. If you sell it, you will be shot if you are caught." Liu Lijuan replied with a dark face.

"Then after dinner, go back to the black market and tell your brother-in-law. If he doesn't listen, ask Director Yang to persuade him. In a word, don't do anything stupid." Liu Qingsong reminded.

"But the problem is that Director Yang left the black market last night. Otherwise, everything would be easy with him there." Liu Lijuan said anxiously.

"How about this!" Liu Qingsong suggested: "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I will accompany you to the black market to persuade your brother-in-law."

He has to persuade him. If something goes wrong, he will probably suffer as well.

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Lijuan quickly sat down at the eight-immortals table and started eating.

Liu Qingsong looked at Ye Xiaoxiao who was reading a book and said, "Xiaoxiao, I have to go out for a while. I'll ask you to take care of Xiao Nuomi and Xiao Taoqi."

"Okay." Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.

She would do this even if Liu Qingsong didn't say it.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Liu Qingsong turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

After putting on the space backpack, he waited for Liu Lijuan at the door.

A few minutes later, he and Liu Lijuan pushed the 28-meter pole and walked on the snow towards the black market.

Xiao Heikui wanted to follow, but was called back by Liu Qingsong.

After all, at this time, it is much more important for Xiao Heikui and Xiao Laoying to stay at home than to follow him.

……

Liu Qingsong pushed the bicycle onto the country road.

So let Liu Lijuan sit on it.

Then he rode to the black market.

Because it was snowing in the afternoon.

There were hardly any people in the black market at this time.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong, under the guidance of Liu Lijuan, rode his 28-meter bicycle directly to the small tiled house where Liu Chunhua lived.

Liu Chunhua was washing clothes at the door at this time.

Seeing Liu Qingsong coming over, he happily shook off the soap bubbles on his hands and greeted him: "Qingsong, have you had lunch?"

"I've eaten. Where's my brother-in-law?" Liu Qingsong parked the bicycle and looked around.

"I'm talking to someone about selling coal together!" Liu Chunhua answered truthfully, "It's in the small restaurant in front. If you have something urgent to do with him, I can take you there now."

"What urgent matter could I have for him? I'm here for his coal-selling partnership." Liu Qingsong frowned and said, "Does his partner have the qualifications to sell coal? Does he have a relevant business license?"

"Ah?" Liu Chunhua was stunned.

"Is there any?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"I...I don't know!" Liu Chunhua replied nervously.

"Don't you know that you asked your brother-in-law to sell coal together? Do you think you have a long life?" Liu Qingsong glanced at the sky and said, "Hurry up and stop talking nonsense. Take me to find my brother-in-law."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Liu Chunhua and Liu Qingsong walked towards the duck egg restaurant on the street.

After Liu Lijuan helped close the door, she followed behind.

The Duck Egg Restaurant was deserted at this time with only a few familiar people eating there.

Wang Kuiwu was one of them. He was already drunk with his face flushed.

But the two middle-aged men sitting opposite were still pouring wine for Wang Kuiwu, making it impossible for the honest Wang Kuiwu to resist for a while.

Liu Qingsong, who walked in and saw this scene, couldn't help but frown.

Liu Chunhua and Liu Lijuan's faces also turned dark.

Among them, Liu Chunhua quickly came to Wang Kuiwu and snatched the wine glass: "What did I tell you before? Didn't I tell you not to drink?"

"I... I... don't want to drink!" Wang Kuiwu stood up and tried to explain, but he staggered and fell directly to the ground. After struggling for a few times, he fell into a deep sleep.

This made the two middle-aged men on the opposite side somewhat embarrassed. They stood up and were about to sneak away, but were stopped by Liu Qingsong: "You want to leave after doing something bad? This is not right, okay?"

"Where did we... where did we do anything wrong?"

"Yes, but don't lie."

The two middle-aged men asked back angrily.

"No?" Liu Qingsong looked at the two middle-aged men and saw that he seemed to have seen them somewhere before. He couldn't help but lied, "You two are Du Xincheng's men, right? A few days ago..."

Before he could finish his words, the two middle-aged men pushed Liu Chunhua and Liu Lijuan away and ran out of the Duck Egg Restaurant in panic.

But just ran to the door.

He was caught up by Liu Qingsong.

Then he kicked one away and knocked down another with his fist: "Tell me! Why did Du Xincheng send you to partner with my brother-in-law to sell coal? If you don't tell me, I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

"I say, I say, please don't hit me, okay?" The middle-aged man with a black mole on the corner of his mouth held his head and said in panic: "Du Xincheng sent us to find your brother-in-law to sell coal together with no other intentions, but to drag him into the water, and then... and then..."

Speaking of which.

The middle-aged man with the mole hesitated and didn't dare to continue.

Because he just realized that even if he told Du Xincheng, he would not let him go.

"Then what?" Liu Qingsong grabbed the collar of the middle-aged man with the mole.

"Then it will be easier to deal with Liu Lijuan, Liu Chunhua, and Yang... Yang Yida." The middle-aged man with the black mole saw the murderous intent in Liu Qingsong's eyes. After weighing the pros and cons, he could only tremblingly tell him Du Xincheng's purpose.

This is actually also the purpose of Wu Zhongzheng, the head of the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Because Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua have taken away too much of their business recently, if they don't take action, the sales channels they have established throughout Dayu City will soon be swallowed up by the black market.

and so--

They came up with this shady trick by taking advantage of the fact that Wang Kuiwu and Liu Chunhua had not received much education and did not know that selling coal required qualifications and a business license.

After Liu Chunhua understood what the middle-aged man with the black mole said, she was stunned and furious: "Du Xincheng and I have no grudges against each other, why are you trying to hurt me like this?"

The two middle-aged men did not answer.

After all, the answer is obvious.

"Sister, that Du Xincheng is Wang Xiaohe's boss. My parents were wrongly arrested and sent to labor camp. In fact, it was Du Xincheng who was behind it." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

As for why Du Xincheng did this.

He didn't say.

After all, it’s not good to say it out loud to the second and eldest sisters.

"What did you say?" Liu Chunhua's eyes widened in astonishment: "Our parents' arrest is also related to this Du Xincheng?"

"Then where is Du Xincheng?" Liu Lijuan clenched her fists.

"Even if you know where it is, what can you do?" Liu Qingsong saw that more and more people were watching around him, and he couldn't help but frowned: "Shouldn't we help my brother-in-law back now? Shouldn't we tell Director Yang about this immediately?"

"That's right, we can't do anything rash." Liu Chunhua said as she quickly walked into the Duck Egg Restaurant and laboriously supported Wang Kuiwu as they walked towards the small tiled house where they lived.

After all, Du Xincheng was definitely not an ordinary person, as he was able to wrongly accuse her parents of going to jail. He was definitely not someone that ordinary people like them could deal with.

Liu Lijuan also thought of this, so after hesitating for a moment, she followed Liu Chunhua to help.

Liu Qingsong did not follow him, but said coldly to the middle-aged man with the black mole: "Go back and tell Du Xincheng to be careful when he sleeps at night." "Hey! Hey!" The middle-aged man with the black mole nodded repeatedly, then ran away in a panic with the other middle-aged man.

Liu Qingsong ignored them and walked towards the small tiled house where his second and eldest sisters lived.

After staying at the door of the small tile-roofed house for half an hour and chatting about some things to pay attention to, he went to the city to buy a 28-meter-long pole.

After all, as a captain, he cannot do without a means of transportation.

……

The best hospital in Dayu City - the Eighth Hospital.

In Ward 206 on the second floor, Du Xincheng was leaning on the hospital bed and reading a newspaper.

Hearing the footsteps, he subconsciously raised his head and looked towards the door. Seeing his men Zhao Ruilong and Wu Xiaosheng appear, he couldn't help but frowned: "What did I tell you before? Don't come to the hospital to see me if you have nothing to do? Why are you here again after such a short time?"

Zhao Ruilong and Wu Xiaosheng were the two middle-aged men who had previously persuaded Wang Kuiwu to join them in selling coal at the Duck Egg Restaurant.

The one with a black mole on the corner of his mouth was Zhao Ruilong. When he saw Du Xincheng getting angry when he saw him, he quickly bent over and said with a smile, "Boss, I came here because I have something important to discuss with you."

"Yes, we messed up what you asked us to do, and we were caught by Liu Qingsong." Wu Xiaosheng said timidly.

He and Zhao Ruilong didn't know Liu Qingsong before, but they guessed it on the way back. After all, if it wasn't Liu Qingsong, it would be impossible for him to know Du Xincheng so well.

"What did you say? We were caught by Liu Qingsong?" Du Xincheng's eyes widened, and then he picked up a pillow and threw it at them in anger: "Are you pigs? How did Liu Qingsong find out? How did Liu Qingsong catch you?"

Zhao Ruilong and Wu Xiaosheng did not answer.

Instead, he lowered his head in a cold sweat and did not dare to look at Du Xincheng.

Only after Du Xincheng calmed down did Zhao Ruilong say, "Boss, now Liu Qingsong not only knows about your existence, but also knows that his parents were arrested and sent to labor camps. It was you who secretly did this."

"And he also said... and also said..."

"What else do you have to say?" Du Xincheng's face looked extremely ugly.

He knew that this Liu Qingsong was no simple person. The ambush on Guishu Mountain of the Toad Production Team involving Wang Xiaohe and him was definitely related to Liu Qingsong, and he also knew all the secrets between him and Wang Xiaohe.

Otherwise, Liu Qingsong would not have appeared in time to stop Wang Kuiwu from jumping into the pit he designed.

When he thought of this, Du Xincheng panicked and didn't know what to do.

After all, the current Liu Qingsong is no longer the same Liu Qingsong as before. He not only has the support of Tao Guoqing and Secretary Chen, but also Jiang Chuyang. The Ye family is also Liu Qingsong's strong backing.

In this situation.

If he is not careful, he will die without a burial place.

"Liu Qingsong also said...he also told you to be careful when you sleep at night." After Zhao Ruilong glanced at Du Xincheng, he hesitantly answered what Liu Qingsong asked him to convey to Du Xincheng.

"What did you say?" Du Xincheng's scalp tingled, and he remembered the scene where his thigh was blown off, and even more so the miserable appearance of Wang Xiaohe with his broken hands and feet.

In order not to repeat Wang Xiaohe’s mistakes.

He even shouted: "Doctor... Doctor, I want to be transferred out of the hospital. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to be discharged..."

……

Liu Qingsong bought a 28-inch bicycle, stamped it with the stamp and paid the money, then rode it home directly.

As for Du Xincheng's plan to trick his eldest brother-in-law today, Liu Qingsong kept it in mind but did not take any action.

It’s not that he is afraid of Du Xincheng, but the wife and daughter of Zhong Xinbing and Wang Xiaohe will be shot the day after tomorrow, and he doesn’t want to cause trouble for Secretary Chen at this critical juncture.

Another point is that if he really wants to cause trouble for Du Xincheng openly, his eldest and second sisters will probably be put in a passive position and will be in danger.

So after weighing the pros and cons, he could only let Du Xincheng live for the time being, and it would not be too late to send him to meet Wang Xiaohe when there was a chance in the future.

What Liu Qingsong didn't expect was.

This reminded me of Wang Xiaohe.

Wang Zongqiao shamelessly came to his house to find him.

There was no other intention in looking for him, they just wanted him, the team leader, to preside over Wang Xiaohe's funeral, and they also said that this was the idea of ​​other members of the Wang family.

But will Liu Qingsong agree?

It was obvious that he would not agree, so he drove Wang Zongqiao away in front of other villagers.

After all, it is too late to think about easing the relationship between the Wang and Liu families now.

Of course, Liu Qingsong also knew what Wang Zongqiao meant.

He probably knew that his mother and sister would be shot the day after tomorrow, so he wanted to ease the relationship with him and then let him come forward to plead for mercy to Secretary Chen!
If Wang Xiaohe had not killed his parents because they were all villagers from the same team, Liu Qingsong might have considered it this time.

But now I think of my parents who are still in labor reform.

He was so angry that his teeth were itching, and it was impossible for him to be merciful.

……

Time passed quickly and it was the day when Zhong Xinbing and Wang Xiaohe's wife and daughter were shot. Coincidentally, Wang Xiaohe's funeral was also held on that day.

But Liu Qingsong did not join in the fun.

Instead, he rode on a 28-meter-long bicycle and took his youngest sister and Xiao Nuomi to the Songmu shooting range early, ready to watch Zhong Xinbing and Wang Xiaohe's wife and daughter being shot.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chunhua, Liu Lijuan and Wang Kuiwu arrived earlier than them. They were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and squatting in a corner of a shooting range to warm themselves by a fire. Liu Lijuan's face was frozen, but she was still talking and laughing with Liu Chunhua.

Liu Qingsong shook his head as he watched this scene.

After parking and locking the 28-meter pole, he picked up Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei and walked over by the hand.

After seeing Liu Qingsong, Wang Kuiwu wanted to greet him immediately, but when he thought of what happened yesterday, he became embarrassed and could not help but lower his head and avoid looking at Liu Qingsong.

Liu Qingsong, who was approaching, pretended not to see this scene. After greeting Liu Lijuan and Liu Chunhua, he said, "Brother-in-law, if you want to make money in the future, you can do business honestly in the black market. Don't listen to those friends who brag about those crooked ways to make a lot of money."

If only I could make a lot of money and be alright.

I'm afraid many people have already tried their best to do it.

How could it be Wang Kuiwu, an honest farmer, or a blacksmith apprentice?

"I understand, I understand." Wang Kuiwu scratched his head with a silly smile: "It's a good thing you came here yesterday, otherwise I would be in big trouble. Even Director Yang said..."

At this point, he was interrupted by the honking of several large trucks driving into the Songmu Shooting Range. These trucks were full of people, including Zhong Xinbing and Wang Xiaohe's wife and daughter who were to be shot.

But oddly enough.

After they circled the shooting range.

They drove out again, and then slowly drove back in about ten minutes later, with all the people who were to be shot wearing hoods.

This scene was perfectly normal for ordinary people. Even Liu Lijuan, Liu Chunhua and Wang Kuiwu did not doubt anything. Instead, they took Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei to the edge of the shooting range to watch the excitement.

But the sharp-eyed Liu Qingsong discovered that something was wrong.

As for what's wrong, there are three suspicious points in total.

One of them was that I had clearly seen Zhong Xinbing wearing a brand new gray-black cotton-padded jacket before, but this time he changed into a patched gray-black cotton-padded jacket, and he was obviously much taller.

As for the second suspicious point, Zhong Xinbing was wearing old black cloth shoes before he was captured, but this time after he was pushed out of the car and the car was opened, he was wearing straw sandals on his feet.

That’s right, straw sandals.

And the pair of feet wearing straw sandals are surprisingly large.

According to Liu Qingsong's visual estimation, it was at least forty-five yards.

If it weren't for the name tag with Zhong Xinbing's name on his chest, Liu Qingsong would have thought that he had been replaced.

But the strange thing is that none of the people in charge of executing the gun techniques around noticed this, and they were even asking the people around who were watching the fun to stay away.

After Liu Qingsong came to his senses, he no longer had any interest in watching the fun.

Instead, he secretly left the Pinewood Shooting Range, then stood on a high hillside, took out a telescope from his space backpack and checked the surrounding terrain.

I thought he wouldn't find out anything.

But unexpectedly, he found a familiar figure in a woods southeast of the shooting range. This figure was the shifty-looking Zhong Xinbing, who was chatting and laughing with Wang Xiaohe's wife and daughter, Wang Wuyi and a very unfamiliar middle-aged man.
