Chapter 259: The Weak Sister of the Heroine in the Period Novel (5)
"I have three things to report about the secretary of Niujia Village. First, he embezzled the brigade's property, withheld the villagers' food rations, and used his position to seek personal gain.
Second, he protected his own children, condoned them to fight, molested women, and raped a village mentally retarded woman to death.
Third, Secretary Niu and Niu Cunliang were morally corrupt and had an affair with a widow. Secretary Niu even committed adultery with her and gave birth to a son. She angered the man so much that he had a stroke and was eventually starved to death at home..."
These things were told by the original owner herself from the Niu family after she got married.
She was extremely shocked at the time, and Niu Cunliang even slapped the original owner hard and warned her not to go out and talk nonsense.
That night, Secretary Niu admired his daughter-in-law with a lustful look. The original owner was gradually exhausted and died suddenly from such a life of beatings, scoldings, shock and anger.
As for the evidence, Gu Zhen had already prepared it.
Needless to say, there are witnesses. Secretary Niu was cautious in the first few years, but later on he became too rampant and almost offended all the villagers.
Even if Gu Zhen didn't report it today, someone would be unable to tolerate it sooner or later.
Physical evidence! Gu Zhen smiled slightly: "There is an account book in a brick on the kang of Secretary Niu's house. You will know if you go and take a look."
"There are many people who can serve as witnesses in Niu Cunliang's case. Human evidence is also a key part of the judgment. You can check it yourself. The innocent and stupid woman who died tragically was buried in the cemetery of Niujia Village. Her father accepted money from Secretary Niu, and he himself did not shy away from this matter."
"The last one is easier to say. The child they gave birth to is Secretary Niu's. If you don't believe it, you can verify it medically. Of course, I think we don't need to waste this resource for him. We will know after a try."
Director Ma narrowed his eyes, "How do you know all this?"
Gu Zhen knew that this question would come, and she lowered her head in embarrassment, tears falling on the back of her hands, sobbing, "To be honest, this is not the first time that Niu Cunliang has harassed me."
"Several times, when I said I was going to report it to the police, he threatened me and told me that it would be okay if he killed someone. He also took me to the woman's grave and told me to give up. If I hadn't been lucky enough to escape, I would have been..."
As he spoke, he began to cry, his shoulders shaking, as if he was recalling some unpleasant past event.
Director Ma understood it. He said it so easily, and he must have been taken advantage of a lot of times.
"Where's the account book? Didn't Niu Cunliang tell you this? And what about the child?"
Gu Zhen wiped her tears and looked him in the eye without dodging: "I heard about the account book by accident. I can't testify to this. From the few words, I infer that there must be something wrong. You go and check it out. If I'm wrong, I'm willing to take responsibility."
"As for the child, he looks a bit like Secretary Niu... But the two families are from the same clan, so no one suspected anything. I was always away from work because of my poor health, so it was inevitable that I would run into him in the village. One time I heard him call Secretary Niu dad..."
Director Ma was still a little skeptical, but the resume of this educated youth was on the table. He came from a working-class family, had a high school education, and had never caused any trouble in Niujia Village in the several years he had been there.
She looks innocent, so she probably won't lie.
"After we verify it, if it is true, you will have done a great job, but if it is wrong, the consequences will be very serious, understand?"
Gu Zhen nodded, indicating that he was willing to bear all the consequences.
Director Ma left with these pages of testimony.
The situation at the top has changed. We must handle this case quickly while we still have power. This will lead to better performance.
Director Ma asked himself that in recent years, his place was not like other places, where there were only false and wrongful cases.
Most of those handled were guilty or had violated policies.
When he went out, the capitalist's son named Rong Pei was still there, but he didn't pay much attention to him and rode away quickly on his bicycle.
.............................................................
Early the next morning, Gu Zhen was sent back to the village.
With her was Rong Pei.
Before entering the village, Gu Zhen finally found an opportunity to ask him, "Why are you helping me?"
She didn't even go to the fields, so how could she possibly meet Rong Pei.
This person was not mentioned in the book. After all, the original owner was just a cannon fodder. She had no connection with anyone and didn't even have a facial feature.
However, the original owner knew this person in his memory.
Because of his bad background, he was bullied in the village, and the worst of them was Niu Cunliang.
The original owner was insulted by Niu Cunliang and soon got married. In the early spring, people said that Rong Pei slipped and fell into the river.
It was the spring flood season, and the river water was fast and cold. When the people were fished out of the water, they were dead.
Everyone thought it was an accident, but Gu Zhen knew that it was Niu Cunliang who did it.
Because he was extremely cruel that night, he tormented the original owner for a long time and almost tortured the original owner to death.
After Rong Pei was rescued, Niu Cunliang was extremely proud and could not hide his arrogance.
He even said that if this pretty boy had been more obedient, he might not have had to die.
The original owner couldn't guess what had happened.
Not long after, the college entrance examination was over and Rong Pei was rehabilitated. The person who came to pick him up only took away a jar of ashes.
I heard that the person was an official and he fainted on the spot.
Niu Cunliang was still scared and panicked, so he took it out on the original owner.
Gu Zhen hated this kind of evil in human nature from the bottom of her heart. Wasn't it an accident that she saved Rong Pei?
"I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself."
Rong Pei lowered his head and looked at her. Today, he heard that Niu Cunliang was caught stealing. He stood outside for a long time. After the police left, he thought for a while and decided to act as a "witness."
If we add fuel to the fire and make the theft of cattle-stored grain a fact, we can always convict him, right?
Without this person in the village, he wouldn't have to suffer beatings and humiliation.
Gu Zhen sighed. This world is full of cannibalism. But it will soon be over. Rong Pei’s good days are yet to come.
"Don't worry, we'll be out of here soon, just hold on."
There are all kinds of rumors now, both true and false, making people panic. Hearing this, Rong Pei couldn't help but ask, "What do you know?"
Gu Zhen thought about the history in his memory. At least in the city, some people were already secretly learning it.
"The light will eventually come. Keep a low profile, work hard to improve yourself, and the dawn will appear." That's all I have to say.
Rong Pei's eyes sparkled, he just wanted to be reunited with his family.
When I wanted to ask again, the two men had already entered the village, one in front and one behind, keeping a distance between them.
The smoke from cooking rises up, and the village is cool and quiet in the early morning. Occasionally, there are the sounds of chickens crowing and dogs barking, but it won't be long before the village becomes lively again.
Gu Zhen smiled. She didn't expect that she would make such a big fortune just after coming to this world.
People from the Niu family, just wait, your good days are over!
