Flip the table and divide the family property! Take his wife and daughter into the mountains and eat

Upon hearing this voice, the young gatekeeper, who had just been glaring angrily at Wei Baoguo, shuddered.

He hurriedly turned around, and upon seeing who it was, he immediately straightened his back, gave a proper bow, and then quickly began to report:

"Deputy Director Liu, these comrades don't know the rules. They didn't register at the petition office according to the procedure. Just now, they even took out cigarettes and money to try to bribe me and insisted on barging into the compound, but I stopped them!"

The middle-aged man, referred to as Deputy Director Liu, frowned even more deeply.

He was the deputy director of the county in charge of economy and allocation. His mind was usually full of indicators such as revenue generation of county-run enterprises and circulation of materials. What bothered him most was dealing with the mess of petitions caused by grassroots people because of quarrels between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law and the division of homesteads.

Getting involved in such activities results in a mess and no political achievements whatsoever.

He glanced at the large door knocker on the ground with disgust, waved his hand, and tried to smooth things over in an official tone: "Alright, the grassroots people have a weak sense of the rule of law. Why are you, a security officer, arguing with them? Give them a few words of criticism and education, let them pick up their things, and guide them to the petition office to follow the normal procedures. Don't make a scene at the gate. Be mindful of our organization's public image."

After saying that, Deputy Director Liu didn't even bother to look at Wei Baoguo again, and turned to walk into the compound with his briefcase.

Upon seeing this situation, Wei Baoguo's head went blank, and he became completely enraged.

He's a master of this bureaucratic jargon!

If he were to be sent to the petition office through the proper channels, then this meticulously crafted incriminating material would most likely end up gathering dust under his desk, gathering dust for who knows how long before it was ever submitted? His grand dream of receiving loading and unloading fees for tens of thousands of bags of wheat would be completely ruined!

Seeing that Deputy Director Liu had already stepped onto the stairs, Wei Baoguo no longer cared about appearances.

His eyes darted around, and he gritted his teeth, raised his toes, and kicked Li Cuihua hard in the shinbone.

Li Cuihua was already terrified and stunned. After taking that solid kick, she screamed in pain. Suddenly, she remembered Wei Baoguo's instructions before she left: "If you are asked about something that makes you sad, cry your heart out." She immediately opened her hoarse voice and burst into a heart-wrenching wail.

"Oh my God! I can't live like this!"

Ignoring her leg pain, Li Cuihua scrambled forward and, disregarding the gatekeeper's attempts to stop her, grabbed Deputy Director Liu's leg tightly.

Her skills in throwing a tantrum in the countryside were truly masterful. Tears and snot instantly streamed down her face, smearing them all over Deputy Director Liu's crisp gray Zhongshan trousers, as she wailed and lamented.

"Your Honor! Please, leaders, do us justice! My poor, crippled youngest son's legs have been broken! That heartless tyrant not only seized our property but also formed a gang to drive our whole family to our deaths! If you, leaders, would do anything to help, I'd rather smash my head against your gate and die right here today!"

Deputy Director Liu was startled by the sudden commotion, and the sticky feeling on his trouser leg made his face turn ashen. He forcefully pulled his leg away, shouting in a mixture of shock and anger, "Nonsense! Let go! Where's security? Pull her away right now!"

Seeing this, Wei Baoguo knew that the time was right.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he pulled out the dozen or so pages of black paper bearing red handprints from his pocket, held it high above his head, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Leader! We want to file a formal complaint! Zhao Shanhe, the local tyrant of Kaoshantun, not only crippled his own brother, but he also engages in speculation and profiteering, severely disrupting the county's market! He now employs dozens of vagrants who run rampant in the surrounding villages, bullying men and women! He is frantically sabotaging our county's economic development and undermining socialism!"

Deputy Director Liu's leg was still being held tightly, and his brand-new gray Zhongshan suit trousers were instantly covered with snot, tears, and yellow mud, making him tremble with anger.

He had no interest in hearing about bullying or speculation; he only felt that this was blatant extortion by hooligans!

"This is utter nonsense! It's completely lawless!"

Deputy Director Liu, furious, slapped the stains off his trousers, his face ashen, even his usual bureaucratic evasiveness crumbling. He frantically pulled his leg back, pointing at Li Cuihua on the ground and yelling, "Let go of her right now! If you have any grievances, go to the petition office and report them truthfully! Making a scene at the gate, throwing a tantrum, you're disrupting a state organ; you'll be held legally responsible!"

Seeing this, the gatekeepers and security officers turned pale with fright and rushed over, pulling and dragging Li Cuihua's hands, trying to forcibly pull this shrew off the leader's lap.

When Li Cuihua, who had been forcibly pulled away, saw that the senior leader was about to leave, she became really anxious.

She simply unleashed her full range of rural shrewish skills, rolling around on the dusty cement floor, slapping her thighs hard with both hands, and letting out a shrill, pig-like scream:

"This is outrageous! The officials are treating human life like dirt! They're protecting each other, shielding thugs and murderers! My whole family is being driven to our deaths! The officials don't care about the lives of ordinary people, they're driving people to their deaths—"

The shrill, piercing wail rang out at the gate of the compound, causing the windows of the office buildings inside to be opened one after another, with many cadres peeking out to see what was going on.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Liu felt a surge of anger rush to his head.

The situation in the county is extremely sensitive right now. The factional struggle between the higher-ups had just ended with one side winning, and the reckoning and settlements from all sides have already begun in full swing.

Especially the ruthless Mayor Chen of Hongxing Town, who is now using the pretext of purging the remaining evils to investigate accounts and find fault everywhere, making countless people within the system keep their tails between their legs, fearing that they might be used as an example to be sacrificed if they are not careful.

At this critical juncture where he could lose his head at any moment, if he were to be clung to by two country bumpkins at his gate, and if his political enemies, who were looking for an excuse to frame him, saw this, they could seize the opportunity to label him as "morally corrupt and inciting public outrage," and his political career would be completely over!

But that old bastard Wei Baoguo was ungrateful; his knees buckled, and he knelt down on the cold asphalt with a thud, holding up the incriminating evidence and howling shrilly:

"Your Honor! You can't leave! Please take a look at this letter written in blood! If you abandon this today, and that tyrant Zhao Shanhe finds out we've come to report him, my wife and I will be dead when we return to the village!"

"If you, leader, don't stand up for the people, we're doomed anyway, so we might as well just smash our heads against this big stone pillar and die right now!"

After saying that, Wei Baoguo actually gritted his teeth and pretended to crash into the gatepost next to him. Li Cuihua understood immediately and grabbed him tightly, crying and screaming. The two rolled around on the ground, and the scene was extremely tragic.

"Shut up! You're spouting nonsense!"

Deputy Director Liu, terrified and pale, pointed angrily at the two men on the ground, completely abandoning his usual official demeanor. His voice cracked as he roared at the top of his lungs:

"Security Department! Where are all the security personnel?! Arrest these two lunatics who are causing trouble and storming a state organ! Gag them tightly, don't let them utter another word! Take them to the police station immediately and lock them up for a thorough investigation!"

With his furious roar, four or five burly security officers rushed out of the compound.

When the section chief saw Liu's trouser leg, which was covered in mud and snot, he was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat and apologized repeatedly. Then he turned around and pounced on Wei Baoguo and Li Cuihua on the ground like a wolf.

"You dare cause trouble in the county government compound! You've gone too far!"

The security officers gave them no chance to explain, twisting Wei Baoguo's arm behind his back and lifting him up from the ground like a chick.

Seeing Wei Baoguo being restrained like a dead pig with his arms tied behind his back in the blink of an eye, Li Cuihua, who was rolling on the ground preparing to continue wailing, was completely dumbfounded.

She's a rural shrew who knows the village officials can't do anything about her when she throws tantrums in the village, but that kind of behavior doesn't work at all outside.

Seeing the other two security officers with menacing expressions grabbing at her, Li Cuihua was terrified.

She didn't care about anything else, scrambled to her feet, and ran wildly out of the courtyard.

Her mind was completely focused on escaping, and in her panic, she didn't even bother to watch where she was going.

I had barely taken two steps out of the gate when I heard a screeching sound of brakes.

Li Cuihua crashed solidly into the front bumper of a green Beijing Jeep that was just about to drive into the compound.

A muffled "bang" was heard.

The impact was extremely powerful. Li Cuihua cried out in pain and was thrown backward, landing sprawled on her back in the cold mud.
