Chapter 237 Zhang Lao and Zhou Lao Connect
Liu Jingxue and her people in the cowshed were living a peaceful life, but they didn't know that the Red Star Production Brigade had once again welcomed investigators and Liu Jingxue's people since Xiao Ran came to investigate.
The investigators this time are locals and can act more conveniently than Xiao Ran.
In the countryside, people from different communes and production teams intermarry with each other, and everyone in the surrounding area has a relative.
Therefore, he asked people he knew to take advantage of the opportunity of visiting relatives to come to the Red Star Production Brigade to find out if there was a person named Liu Jingxue. He then found out that Liu Jingxue was an educated youth who had recently gone to the countryside.
And every villager in the Red Star Production Brigade is grateful to Liu Jingxue.
They were all villagers before, and everyone in the village knew about what she had done, so there was nothing to say.
It's so hard to get someone from another village to come, and he's also my relative, so how can I help but tell him?
He immediately began to brag about Liu Zhiqing.
She described the things she had done since she went to the countryside, such as being able to lift a tripod, earning more than 30 work points a day, catching human traffickers, and killing six wild boars alone. When the hunting team went into the mountains to hunt, her harvest alone accounted for half of the team's total harvest.
Of course, they didn't tell anyone about the discovery of the bison herd. After all, the captain had instructed that they had to keep this matter to themselves and not tell anyone.
That was the source of cattle for their village in the future. If this got out and other production teams found out, they would capture the bison herd and cut off their path.
After learning that Liu Jingxue was actually an educated youth who went to the countryside, the investigators went to the educated youth office and found out her detailed information.
However, that person did not do the same as Xiao Ran and went to Xinshi specifically to investigate Liu Jingxue's past affairs. After all, there was no requirement from above.
He just needs to pass the message on and higher-ups will make the arrangements.
As for investigating the transferred personnel from the Red Star Production Brigade, that is even simpler.
None of Mr. Zhou's subordinates are ordinary people; they all hold high positions.
Anyone who could be entrusted with such an important task by them must have status. It was not a simple matter to just find an excuse and ask someone to get a list of all the people who had been transferred down from the communes below.
The above records are not like the records of each production team, which only contain name, age, and date of demotion. They also record the occupation before demotion, the unit to which they belong, and the reason for demotion.
The man recorded the detailed information of the four transferred personnel from the Red Star Production Brigade and reported it together with Liu Jingxue's identity information.
He doesn't need to worry about what happens next.
In the capital, Mr. Zhou quickly got the information.
Looking at the information above, he fell into deep thought.
Zou Yuchen naturally knew. After all, for someone who could sit in his position, how could he not know the several military district commanders who were second only to them?
He also knew about the relationship between Zou Yuchen and Zhang Lingfeng. After all, when Zou Yuchen got into trouble, Zhang Lingfeng came to him and asked him for help.
He also tried to help, but in the end he was unable to save the person.
As far as he knew, after Zou Yuchen was demoted, Zhang Lingfeng seemed to have lost contact with him and even asked him for help to find out.
Because his condition was not very good at the time, I was unable to help.
I don’t know whether Zhang Lingfeng knows the whereabouts of Zou Yuchen now.
Thinking of this, he picked up the phone beside him and dialed, "To Commander Zhang Lingfeng of the Jinan Military Region."
After the call was connected, the two had a conversation and Mr. Zhou told Mr. Zhang about Mr. Zou's whereabouts.
Mr. Zhang was stunned at first. He didn't expect that the leader still remembered his request from that year. After getting the news, he actually informed him, even though he no longer needed it now.
He said gratefully, "Thank you, Chief, it's hard for you to keep this matter in mind.
But I just found out where Lao Zou is."
Mr. Zhou was ashamed of Mr. Zhang’s thanks, “There is no need to say more words of thanks.
I went to check after receiving information from someone and learned about him by accident. I didn’t go there to investigate for you on purpose.”
When Mr. Zhang heard this, his heart moved. He remembered the information Xiao Ran had handed over to him before, about Old Man Wu, the only old man in Old Zou's cowshed whose identity was unknown.
He knew that Liu Weihua and his wife had no relationship with Chief Zhou, so the only person who might have a relationship with Chief Zhou was Old Man Wu.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is the surname of the person the chief mentioned Wu?"
"How do you know?" Mr. Zhou blurted out at first, then he understood.
“I asked unnecessary questions.
After you found out where Old Zou was, you would definitely send someone to investigate like I did. That’s how you would know how many people were in the bullpen.”
Old Zhang thought that not long after he got the news about Old Zou, Old Zhou got the news about Old Wu. Could it be that Liu Jingxue contacted Old Zhou at the instruction of Old Wu?
He asked tentatively, "Commander, is it a letter from someone named Liu Jingxue that tells you the whereabouts of Mr. Wu?"
Zhou Lao and his son did not admit it directly, but he asked, "Are you the same?"
There is no need to say more, this sentence has already made it clear.
"Have you sent anyone to investigate Liu Jingxue?" asked Mr. Zhang.
Zhou Lao said honestly, "I have only asked someone to check with the production team. We know that she is an educated youth who went to the countryside and the child of a martyr. We haven't checked anything else yet."
The couple in the cowshed had not yet been investigated.
I was originally planning to tell you where Old Zou was and then send someone to investigate."
"What are the results of your investigation? Can Liu Jingxue and the other couple in the bullpen be trusted?
If I can get the information from you, I won't have to send anyone to investigate."
Zhang Lao said, "You don't need to check, Chief, those three are all trustworthy.
The man in the couple, Liu Weihua, is an old subordinate of Lao Zou and has followed Lao Zou since the fight against the Japanese.
After the accident, I went out of my way to stay with Lao Zou and take care of him.
Liu Jingxue is the orphan of an old subordinate of mine, and also Liu Weihua’s niece. She went to the countryside specifically to take care of her uncle and aunt.”
When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately felt relieved, "Hearing what you said, I feel relieved.
Then I can safely contact Old Wu through Liu Jingxue."
"Commander, may I ask about your relationship with Old Wu?" Old Zhang said nervously.
Zhou Lao said softly, "There is nothing that cannot be said.
He is the father of my eldest daughter-in-law. If something goes wrong, it’s because someone wants to use him to influence me.
Fortunately, he was decisive and broke off the engagement with my eldest daughter-in-law in advance, thus saving my family.
The situation here has not been very optimistic, so I can't help much with Lao Zou's matter. I hope you can forgive me.
Even now, things are not peaceful here, and some people are always jumping around and causing trouble."
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he was afraid that if he revealed something, he would be discovered and Liu Jingxue and the people in the cowshed would be implicated. Although it was a bit of a disrespect for his superiors, he still bravely reminded them,
"Then, Commander, when you contact them, be careful not to let anyone discover them.
Their village is quite friendly to the demobilized personnel.
They have been living a good life since the light snow passed.
If those people find out about their situation and take any action, their life will not be easy.”
How could Mr. Zhou not understand Mr. Zhang's concerns?
He assured, "Don't worry, we won't contact them directly. I will contact them through other people."
With Mr. Zhou's assurance, Mr. Zhang finally felt relieved.
