Chapter 1232 Who gave you the audacity to do this?
The squad leader asked hurriedly.
"Comrade Director, what do you suggest we do?"
The bureau chief grinned; he had absolutely no desire to take on this responsibility.
"Report it to the county and let them issue an order."
Seeing how determined he was, the squad leader had no choice but to keep an eye on things. He told the truck driver to hurry back to Xingzhou and report the situation to the work group.
The truck driver immediately drove back, and the bureau chief also sent the political commissar to the county to report.
This back-and-forth took up a lot of time.
Shi Yun and Kuang Yun waited anxiously in the warehouse, but there was no water or food, and they didn't know how long they could hold out.
Outside the warehouse, Meng Qingsen and his men carried a table to the doorway and continued eating and drinking. Their first purpose was to wait for Meng Fa and the others to return so that their father could make a decision. The second purpose was to wait for Shi Yun and Kuang Yun to suffer from hunger and thirst in the warehouse until they could no longer endure it and would come out and surrender.
Time passed by, minute by minute. In the northern winter, it gets dark early; by five o'clock, it's already pitch black.
Kuang Yun developed a high fever due to hunger and fright. Shi Yun held her in his arms and waited anxiously.
Torches have been set up in the threshing ground, and men, women, and children from the village have all come. Now, the way Xiaochenzhuang gathers people together is by giving each villager a bowl of porridge every evening.
With just this one bowl of porridge, they made everyone in the small village listen to them.
As Meng Qingsen munched on his meat, he glanced sideways at the people who came to collect porridge. A dozen or so children, all naked, were gathered around them, staring longingly at the bones in their hands.
As Meng Qingsen and his friends ate their meat, they casually tossed the bones off the table. The children cheered, picked them up from the ground, and started gnawing on them without a care for cleanliness.
Meng Qingze, Meng Qingsen's cousin, asked Meng Qingsen in a low voice.
"Seventh Brother, today's events are a bit big, aren't they? Meng Qingguang, that lazy bum, is dead, but later I'll take some men and dump him in the mass grave. Before half a night is up, wild dogs will have eaten him clean."
But if something happens to these two policewomen, the government might be in trouble. Then the army will be on our side, and none of us will be able to escape.
Meng Qingsen wasn't a brainless person; he frowned slightly and said...
“What you said makes sense, but things have come to this point. They saw me kill someone with my own hands. Do you think we can let them go? If we let them go, none of us brothers will survive.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingze nodded silently. He sighed inwardly, regretting that he had unwittingly boarded Meng Qingsen's pirate ship.
Meng Qingsen put his arm around Meng Qingze's shoulder and said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, brother. My dad found the grain that the Japanese devils hid back then. It's enough to feed us in Xiaochenzhuang for two years. As long as we keep them eating this bowl of porridge every day, they'll always listen to us."
I asked Wang Laoshuan to marry Wang Xiaocui to me, but he refused because I'm a cripple. He even threatened me, saying that if I pressed him further, he would go to the government and report my father for hiding grain. So my father made a tough decision and asked me to find a way to kill his whole family.
"But haven't you all tasted the sweetness of Wang Xiaocui'er? How about trying the sweetness of a female police officer?"
Meng Qingze chuckled. To be honest, this woman really tasted amazing.
Suddenly a carriage came along and stopped to the side. A burly man jumped off the carriage, followed by two middle-aged men.
These three men were Meng Fa, the captain of the Second Production Brigade; Meng Man, the captain of the Dawangzhuang Production Team; and Meng Fei, the captain of the Xiaochenzhuang Production Team. They were three cousins who controlled the entire Second Production Brigade.
Old Liu, the driver of the carriage, shook his head, sighed, and silently drove the carriage to the stable to rest and feed the horses.
Meng Fa, along with Meng Man and Meng Fei, strode to Meng Qingsen's table. Everyone stood up, and Meng Qingsen spoke with a smile on his face.
"Dad, you're finally back! Have you eaten? We've saved some meat for you and my uncle!"
Meng Fa glared at Meng Qingsen with hatred, and let out a low growl.
"What good deed have you done now? I was in a meeting at the commune when the secretary personally called me in for a talk, telling me to release the people immediately, saying that you detained the work team members? My God, what sins have I, Mengfa, committed to give birth to such a wicked child as you?"
Meng Qingsen didn't expect the news to reach the commune so quickly. He mumbled a story about what happened that day. Meng Qingsen's head buzzed. These people actually dared to detain the work team members. They must be incredibly audacious in the future.
Meng Fa flipped the table in front of him over, and the people waiting to receive porridge all stopped to see what was going on.
Meng Fa's hands trembled as he pointed at Meng Qingsen and shouted loudly.
"Do you want to die? How dare you detain people from the Central Working Group? Do you really think your father is the emperor in this Second Production Brigade, with everyone's word being law? Let me tell you, I'm not even worthy to carry the shoes of people from the Central Working Group."
Who gave you the guts to do this?
Meng Qingsen was stunned by Meng Fa's scolding. He twisted his neck and shouted.
“That bastard Meng Qingguang, that traitor, brought two female police officers to trap me. I got angry and killed him. Dad, those two female police officers saw me kill someone with their own eyes. What should I do?”
Meng Fa fell silent immediately. He only had this one son in his life. He knew that if his son killed someone in front of the female police officer, he would not live if the female police officer was released.
Meng Qingze whispered to his father, Meng Man.
“Dad, we can’t let these two policewomen go. My seventh brother, he revealed how Wang Laoshuan’s family died. Just because we killed Wang Xiaocui and hanged Wang Laoshuan and the others, there are no more than twenty of us surnamed Meng who will survive.”
"Father, not only will we not survive, but if you find the grain hidden by the Japanese, and you neither hand it over nor report it, then when the higher-ups investigate, you might escape the death penalty, but you'll likely face severe punishment. The feeling of being imprisoned is awful."
Meng Man trembled with fright and quickly grabbed Meng Fa, saying...
"Third Brother, Senzi and his gang not only killed someone, but they also told the female police officer how Wang Laoshuan died. Third Brother, it won't do to let the female police officer go. What if the higher-ups execute our entire Meng family?"
At this moment, Meng Fa's mind was in turmoil. He could harden his heart and kill his own son, but there were more than twenty members of the Meng family present. If they were all executed or sentenced, he would become the biggest sinner of the Meng family...
Meng Fei carefully examined the warehouse. As the captain of the Xiaochenzhuang production team, he knew what was stored there. He secretly told Meng Fa and Meng Man about it.
"Third brother, fifth brother, I have an idea that can solve this problem..."
