Chapter 1583 Madness in Silence

"Xiao Tao!"

Yang Dazhuang's eyes were red, and Yang Shitou and others standing behind him were also sad.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then walked over and looked at the white cloth covering the door.

He knelt gently beside him and reached out to uncover it to see the face inside.

But as soon as his fingers touched the white cloth, he felt like a needle and his fingers trembled.

Yang Xiaotao knew that if he was not there, if he did not provoke those people, maybe

maybe he would not lie here, maybe he would still be the heartless and shameless Fatty Ding.

But now, the person lying here, a living life, just died like this.

Yang Xiaotao reached out again, wanting to take a last look.

Because he knew that if he didn't take a look, it would become his inner fear.

The white cloth was gently uncovered, revealing the face inside.

Ah~~~

Woo~~

The crying sounded again, and many people around him also lowered their heads and sobbed softly.

Yang Xiaotao looked at a pale face, with blood on the hair on the forehead, and his eyes were closed, but Yang Xiaotao felt like he was dying with his eyes open.

"Uncle Ding!"

"He's gone, don't worry about him anymore."

Yang Xiaotao spoke slowly, and his eyes were wet when he finished speaking.

"Don't worry about aunt and the others, absolutely, absolutely"

Eyes closed, tears slid down.

Yang Dazhuang and others behind him tilted their heads, unable to bear to look.

"Take good care of you!"

Yang Xiaotao gritted his teeth and said the last few words, then gently covered it.

"Aunt Wang!"

"Xiao Tao!"

Fatty Ding's wife's surname is Wang. She is a woman from the next village. She is also an honest rural woman. The farthest place she has ever been in her life is the town. On weekdays, she takes care of the elderly and the fields at home, and then takes care of the children.

The two girls and one boy next to them are the children of the family.

"Uncle Ding is a good man."

"I know!"

Aunt Wang wiped her tears, "He has always been a good man."

"I have followed him for half my life, and I have always known that he is a good man."

"But, how can a good man be like this?"

As he said this, he lay on her again.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to say, so he could only stand up, his eyes blank, and stood still.

The people around him also watched and waited quietly.

Waiting for Yang Xiaotao to speak, waiting for Yang Xiaotao to act.

But, they only saw Yang Xiaotao standing there, motionless.

Behind him, Yang Dazhuang and others thought that Yang Xiaotao would come and seek justice for Fatty Ding. After all, in their eyes, Yang Xiaotao was the biggest official in Yangjia Village and the backbone of their farm.

He had to take the lead in this matter.

But who knew that Yang Xiaotao stood there, motionless.

Yang Dazhuang was a little anxious, and the people behind him also looked at each other, unable to understand Yang Xiaotao's intentions.

Yang Dazhuang wanted to speak, and then he saw Mr. Yang smoking in the distance and shaking his head.

Then, he waited.

Compared with the anxiety of Yang Dazhuang and others, Wang Guohua and others seemed anxious.

He prepared his words, prepared his reasons, and even prepared a way to deal with all the means of Yang Xiaotao.

But, Yang Xiaotao came and said nothing, what does this mean?

Everyone is waiting for you, but you are fine, nothing happened?

This made him feel like punching cotton and almost sprained his waist.

Wang Guohua looked at Yang Xiaotao, who lowered his head, as if he was in sadness, making the surroundings full of depression.

He looked around again, and from the silent expressions of the crowd and the direction of their eyes, he understood that the key this time was still Yang Xiaotao.

As long as Yang Xiaotao was taken down, these people could be dealt with.

And he had sufficient reasons.

Wang Guohua decided in his heart that if the enemy didn't move, I wouldn't move.

Let's see who can outlast who.

However, Wang Guohua did not move, but the middle-aged fat man beside him was a little scared.

Especially when Section Chief Wu beside him said in his ear that more and more people were gathering around, and people from several nearby villages came over, and there were thousands of people outside. This made him realize that this matter could not be delayed any longer, otherwise he would alarm his superiors and he would not have a good ending.

He looked at Wang Guohua on the side again, and then at Yang Xiaotao and others, feeling a little helpless. Both sides were guys who were not easy to mess with, and each of them had the support of a big god behind them, but this was their home court, and this matter was caused by them.

Even if he didn't want to stand out, he had to stand out.

Ahem

"Everyone listen to me."

The middle-aged man looked at the silence around him and had to speak.

"I am Lin Quan, the director of the town security bureau. This time we received a report from local comrades."

"In the town grain station, someone took out grain without authorization, the purpose was unknown, and the amount was huge, so we sent comrades to investigate."

Lin Quan said, pausing slightly.

His eyes swept through the crowd and finally landed on Yang Xiaotao's face, but the other party did not raise his head, which made him confused and a little uneasy.

But he saw that the people around him were also silent, and his heart shuddered.

Obviously, everyone did not agree with this statement.

Just use silence to oppose.

Yang Dazhuang and others wanted to speak, but saw that Yang Taiye shook his head, and then pointed at Yang Xiaotao's direction with his pipe pot. They could only loosen their fists and continue to wait.

"Wu Qiong, tell me the results of the investigation."

Seeing that the people around him did not speak, Lin Quan knew that it was useless to continue talking, so he pushed out Section Chief Wu who participated in the whole process behind him.

He caused this pot, and he was able to come because of his position.

Whether he can handle the next thing or not, he has to do it himself.

Section Chief Wu's right arm was shrugged at this moment. Obviously, he was seriously injured in the previous battle, but when he heard Lin Quan's words, he couldn't help but shudder and walked in front of the people.

He also realized that if he didn't handle today's matter well, his future would be over.

In this era, if he lost the income from this job, he would have to rely on the little food at home. He knew very well how hard life was.

When he walked in front of the crowd, he did not forget to exchange glances with Team Leader Shui who was covering his face. The two of them understood each other tacitly.

"Fellow villagers."

"We got the news."

"Here, we checked the account book."

Wu Qiong took out an account book from his pocket and showed it to the people around him. Many people around him knew that it was the book used by the grain station to keep accounts.

"It clearly records the expenditure of 1,212 kilograms of grain, and there is no instruction from the superiors."

"In other words, the grain station made its own decision."

"After our surprise investigation, Ding Deliang confessed to this."

"In addition, we also confirmed it from the staff of the grain station."

"Therefore, Ding Deliang was suspected of dereliction of duty, reselling materials and even embezzlement during his management, so we plan to take him back for investigation."

"But we didn't expect that the other party resisted the people's investigation, and we were caught off guard, which led to such a result."

Wu Qiong finished his words one by one, and the more he spoke, the more uncertain he felt, because the people around him who were bowing their heads had slowly raised their heads and stared at him closely.

Wu Qiong swallowed his saliva, then looked back at Lin Quan, who nodded slightly, and then gritted his teeth and continued, "So, the results of this investigation are clear and clear."

"During his tenure, Ding Deliang has repeatedly transferred grain, and his whereabouts are unknown. According to laws and regulations, Ding Deliang will be removed from all his positions, and the lost grain at the grain station will be replenished according to the quota."

After Wu Qiong finished speaking, he did not dare to look at Ding Deliang's family on the ground, nor did he dare to look at Yang Dazhuang and others who were clenching their fists and glaring at him. He quickly walked aside and stopped talking.

But the scene was still silent except for the crying women and children.

Everyone's eyes were still on Yang Xiaotao.

However, Yang Xiaotao still lowered his head, and even put his hands in his trouser pockets, without saying a word.

Wang Guohua frowned, unable to figure out Yang Xiaotao's thoughts, so he could only watch for the time being.

After a while, Wu Qiong felt that the scene was a little weird. He looked back at Lin Quan again, then gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, such a thing happened in the grain station, which is also our dereliction of duty. Especially with so many staff members, no one stood up to stop it. We will also hold the relevant personnel accountable."

After saying these words, Wu Qiong immediately moved back and stood directly behind Lin Quan.

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene had an extra layer of depression.

Especially those who worked with Fatty Ding, who were already angry, and now they had to be held accountable, and their anger and resentment were bubbling up.

But no one spoke.

Silence, still silence.

Lin Quan was even more uneasy, and even Wang Guohua felt uneasy.

Team leader Shui behind him saw the weird scene, glanced at Yang Dazhuang opposite, and stood up and spoke directly.

Wang Guohua saw it and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"There is one more thing. Although an accident occurred when we were escorting the prisoner, the prisoner's intention was obviously to sacrifice the car to save the master. Moreover, such a big thing has been hidden for so many years. It would be strange to say that there are no accomplices."

As Team Leader Shui said this, Wang Guohua cursed the idiot in his heart and looked at Yang Xiaotao who was motionless.

"And at this time, someone actually beat up the comrades of the investigation team and injured many comrades."

"This kind of lawless, openly shielding, and revenge behavior must have some kind of connection."

"These people must be investigated."

Team Leader Shui lost a tooth, but it did not affect her voice, so that every word fell accurately into the ears of those around her.

Wang Guohua coughed lightly, and Team Leader Shui, who was pinching her waist and arrogant, immediately put down her arms after hearing it, and then turned around and went back.

Yang Shitou was about to rush out after hearing this, but was held down by Yang Dazhuang with one hand, and did not speak.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao raised his head.

This was the first time that Yang Xiaotao had taken his eyes off the white cloth since he came in.

Wang Guohua was alert and prepared to welcome and respond.

Lin Quan clasped his hands behind his back, and Wu Qiong, who was behind him, trembled in his heart when he saw this scene.

Just raising his head made their director so nervous?

Why are the young people nowadays more terrifying the younger they are?

However, after Yang Xiaotao raised his head, he did not look at the two of them, but turned back and looked at the people around him.

The people around him also shifted their eyes with Yang Xiaotao.

Haha

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao chuckled.

The people around him were puzzled.

Wang Guohua was very alert.

Yang Dazhuang and others clenched their fists, waiting for Yang Xiaotao's order.

In the distance, when Mr. Yang saw Yang Xiaotao so affectionate, his wrinkled fisheye wrinkles gently spread out.

Old Jin on the side also laughed. The two old men looked at each other, then took out cigarettes from their pockets and lit each other's cigarettes.

Yang Xiaotao was still laughing, even laughing to the point of tears. The people around him were puzzled.

Cough cough

Yang Xiaotao didn't stop until he heard a cough, and then shook his head again, his expression a little gloomy.

This operation made everyone present puzzled, and some even frowned, feeling unhappy.

"Uncle Ding."

"It's not worth it, it's not worth it!"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke, but with a little self-mockery.

Wang Guohua's heart tightened and he felt something was wrong.

He had realized what Yang Xiaotao was going to say, but there was no reason to stop him.

In fact, the other party had no intention of fighting him this time.

That was a kind of disregard.

And this kind of disregard hurts inferiority the most.

Sure enough, the next sentence followed.

"Uncle Ding, open your eyes and look. These are the people you risked your life to help. They dared not say a word after you left."

"I feel so sorry for you!"

Instantly, the silent man went crazy.

Then a fire seemed to gather in his heart and burned in this cold winter.
