C74 (1/2)
”Have you scolded enough?” He pointed his pistol at my chest and said, ”You don't understand our helplessness, so you don't understand it at all. Perhaps you're right, we are unworthy of the country, but I want to ask you, is the country worthy of us?”
”Where are the national poverty-reduction payments every year? Have the people received their money? ” Jiang Shan laughed self-deprecatingly, his eyes looked very helpless, ”After I graduated from university, I came back to a place where I grew up at. I only wanted to use my hard work to change the face of my hometown, but after I tried, what did I get in return?”
The arm holding the gun in his hand was currently trembling violently. His expression was extremely ferocious and terrifying. His eyes that were filled with hatred were currently glaring at me, ”I only got the identity of a murderer in exchange for your mockery of me!”
”Ha!” I shook my head. ”I'm not mocking you. I just feel that you're very pitiful. You can choose to leave this place. I really don't understand the reason why you're reluctant to leave this place.”
Love?
Friendship?
Or was it a favor?
”Neither of them?” I smiled contemptuously at him. ”It's money!”
I continued, ”In this poverty-stricken county, the matter of you killing people and selling human organs is something that is hard to be discovered, because the County Head Mu is a superstitious person. He wants to use a secret technique to change the current state of his Shanghe County, but this secret technique also needs to be killed in order to be completed. No no, it should be a request! ”
I continued, ”When Zhou Xiaoxiao told you about the book in Cheng Yuee's house, I guess you started to think about it in your heart? You clearly know that the County Head Mu is very superstitious, so you unceasingly instilled this thought into him. Finally, one day, you stole that book from Cheng Yuee's home and handed it over to the County Head Mu. ”
At first, County Head Mu should have only believed in one thing, but to achieve your goal, after you completed your first killing and set up a formation, you secretly gave a lot of benefits to the officials in the province. As expected, after the officials accepted the gifts, they finally gave some benefits to Shanghe County in the past!
”The reality is right in front of your eyes, had no choice but to believe the words in the book. Perhaps it is because he has killed before, but he slowly started to get used to it. Soon after, the two of you started to sell your organs, while County Head Mu took the money and started counting, what about you? Have you guys kicked them into your pockets? ”
As I said that, I raised my hand and pointed at the shocked Jiang Shan. ”Actually …” All of the things that you have done, are they all for the sake of getting Shanghe County? ”
”Rivers and mountains!” Just at this time, County Head Mu suddenly grabbed onto Jiang Shan's arm. He looked at his cold face in puzzlement and asked: ”What he said …. Is that true? ”
Cough cough cough!
Perhaps it was because of his excitement, County Head Mu's expression looked even worse. He started to cough intensely, but Jiang Shan did not consciously support him, but instead looked at him and shook his head, ”Do you believe me?”
County Head Mu panted heavily. He was not in a good condition and I really wanted to go forward and support him, but at this moment, Jiang Shan was still pointing his gun at me, preventing me from going forward. However, what surprised me the most was that at this time, the Village Chief and the old man in the mail room ran over to the County Head Mu's side and supported him.
”Did I say anything wrong?” I smiled at Jiang Shan, ”Isn't the reason why you treat County Head Mu so well? The common folk of Shanghe County know that the County Head Mu is a good official, and everyone will see that you are at his side. When the County Head Mu retires or dies, I think the position of the Patriarch of Shanghe County will definitely belong to you, right? ”
”You have long used the money you spent to sell your organs to pave a path for yourself. At the same time, you also gained the good reputation of the people of Shanghe County around County Head Mu. All of this is for …”
Looking at the ashen face of Jiang Shan, I felt extremely comfortable. Looking at the astonished faces of the eight elders and the pained and desperate eyes of the County Head Mu, I shouted furiously at Jiang Shan, ”You are doing this for the chance to be selected as one of the poverty-stricken counties in the country!”
”But... County Head Mu did it for the commoners, but you … Just for his dirty thoughts! ” I smiled sarcastically and asked him, ”Have you ever had a dream like this when you were sleeping? You dreamed that you had become the county governor of Shanghe County, you dreamed that Shanghe County, under your operation, had finally obtained the targets of poor counties of the nation, and you personally made a long red banner in your dreams. On the banner, you personally lifted up your pen and wrote a series of fluent cursive script! ”
I laughed out loud and said to him, ”That cursive record says that congratulations to Shanghe County for winning the honorary title of a poverty-stricken county!”
”When you finished writing, gongs, drums, firecrackers rang out. Da Qiangzi, Zhou Xiaoxiao, as well as your comrades who I have yet to see clearly, all surrounded you at that time, crying tears of joy!” I smiled at the river, ”You cry and shout to the sky, my God! We are finally poor, we are finally rich! We're finally rich! ”
But in the blink of an eye, I saw the eyes of the river become extremely cold. At this moment, I felt that he was very pitiful. I asked him, ”Don't you feel that you're living a very tired life?”
I said, ”In order to achieve your goal, you hid it so deeply. When you looked in the mirror, did you ever think about what your true self looked like?”
”Do you have evidence?! Say it! ” Jiang Shan shouted at me, ”You are lying!”
”Ha ha!” I waved my index finger at him and said, ”You have four accounts in total, and each account has a deposit of at least a million. At the same time, Zhou Xiaoxiao also has five hundred thousand in her account, can you tell me where all this money came from?”
”Oh, right!” I gave him a playful smile, ”Don't tell me that you have won the first prize for the Twin Balls. For a small place like Shanghe County, the Fortune Center will not give you the first prize!”
”Actually, Liao Mengfann is not the only one that can stop me!” I pointed to my right ear and said to him: ”Just now, my booth, Wei Shijie, had hacked your account, all of your information was transferred out by him, and your record of bribery for all these years, do you have anything else to say?”
”Brother Little Chuan, you sure are funny, haha!” Wei Shijie's teasing voice came from the earplugs. I smiled knowingly, and told him: ”It's not that I'm teasing you, it's just that your laughing point is too low!”
Wei Shijie: ”...”
I said to Jiang Shan, ”You have always been living in your dreams, an evil dream. But the cycle of karma, you never would have thought that when you stole that book from Cheng Yuee's home, it would also be because of her that your plans would be exposed one day in the future, right?”
”In the underworld, there is a heaven's will. Humans are like the heavens watching! It's not that we don't want to report, it's just that the time is not right yet! ” ”Are you afraid now?” I asked him.
”Hahaha!” He pointed the gun at me and said, ”Afraid? At least, I have you as a hostage with me, so I feel like I can safely leave this place and fly far away! ”
”Heh …” I shook my head. ”There were also two arrogant people who wanted to use me as a hostage. It's a pity that they both died in the end. Do you want to try?”
”I'm not as stupid as them!” Jiang Shan shook his neck, ”Do you think you can beat me after taking your gun? Even if you are a fighting champion and I have a gun in my hand, do you have a bullet fast? ”
”Just listen to me!” Jiang Shan hooked his fingers at me, ”If you do it with me, I guarantee you will be rich for the rest of your life. How about it? Don't you like money? ”
