Qinglong Town, Qinglian County.

This provincial poverty-stricken town that has been around for ten years is now in the afternoon. The warm sun is hanging in the sky. The sunlight is cast down, dispelling the cold, making it look very warm.

There are many old men and ladies basking in the sun while leaning against the walls on the side of the road in this kind of weather. They smile, as if they are so carefree every day.

But if you get closer and listen carefully, you can hear what they say is so angry and helpless.

"Did you all hear that? Our Qinglong Town is here again to receive poverty alleviation funds."

"This kind of day is the people of the town committee and government who are celebrating the New Year. What does it have to do with us ordinary people? Their people who are playing the sign of serving us, but doing this kind of greedy and wealthy act, which makes people feel very annoyed."

"What's the use of annoyance? Look at the old Huang family in the east end of Zhen. What a happy family it was before, but because of this poverty alleviation fund, the family is not like a family now. Not only does the wife and children leave, but the remaining old Huang head is still plagued by illness."

"Good, you're younger than us, but your body is getting worse day by day. I'm going to say that since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, so why should we do this? In the end, our family will be destroyed."

"You can't say that, that's because that matter hasn't hit you."

"It's reasonable. Anyone who encounters his family will be unlucky, and no one who is unlucky will endure this resentment."

...

When these old men and ladies were talking, Shu Qin sat not far away. After summarizing the news, he asked casually: "Dear uncles, I am a passing man. When I heard what you said just now, it was a bit like what was sung in ancient operas, the magistrate of the destruction of the family and the magistrate of the county."

"My God, isn't it? There is still something like this happening in modern society? Can you tell me what that thing is? What does this have to do with the poverty alleviation funds in Qinglian County?"

"Young man, you might be an official?"

"Haha, what kind of official can a person like me be? Uncle, you are thinking too much, I just ask casually. If you say you don't want to say it, or are afraid of anyone who dares to say it, just pretend I didn't ask." Shu Qin was sprinkling cigarettes skillfully while saying this.

As cigarettes lit up, the old men's emotions suddenly rose, "I'm afraid? I don't dare? Please, don't you go and inquire about it. Are there any things that I, Old Man Gao, dare not do?"

"Besides, I am at this age and can see the King of Hell at any time. Can the Public Security Bureau dare to arrest me? I don't dare to keep me even if I arrest you."

"If you want to find the matter of the Huang family, I really know. Boy, I don't care whether you are an official or a reporter or not. What I want to say is that if you have the ability to save the old Huang family, then do it, and you will definitely accumulate good deeds."

When Shu Qin heard the old man say this, he became serious and said seriously: "I don't say I am an official, but I also have my own information channels. If what you said is true, I will definitely be able to report it."

"That's how it is!"

...

While Shu Qin was inquiring about the news, Hua Zheng was also wandering around Qinglong Town. To be honest, he didn't look like Su Mu, with rich grassroots experience.

He was placed from the position of the provincial party committee secretary, and it was really unfamiliar with the private visits on the mini-server.

After all, it is unrealistic to do such things as Yang Zixiong. If Yang Zixiong doesn't do it, he will have no chance as a secretary, and he is also very self-aware of his work.

Since it is impossible to pry open the mouths of the villagers here, I will walk on the road mentioned in Qinglong Town and take a look.

In the report on the implementation of poverty alleviation funds given by Qinglong Town, this road is seen almost every year. I wonder what kind of road needs to be repaired for ten years! What kind of road needs to be repaired every year!

How dilapidated this road should be, and the repair fee alone costs 6 million yuan per year.

Tsk, the six million road maintenance fee is simply a natural spoil sharing meeting, and the poverty alleviation fund will be spent in an instant.

Except for Su Mu and Hua Zheng, this time, the only private visit was Su Mu.

Of course, he was not idle either, but also moved along the streets of Qinglong Town, and his target was the old Huang family at the east end of the town.

It was just by chance that when Su Mu wanted to investigate the poverty alleviation funds, he got the confidence of the old Huang family from the Bureau of Letters and Calls.

Old Huang is called Huang Dongsheng, and he is a very legendary figure in Qinglong Town.

This legend says that Huang Dongsheng was the richest man in Qinglong Town before. This statement is without any moisture and is true and reliable.

But now, he is just a lonely man, not to mention the richest man, even his wife and children are unwilling to pay attention to him.

The reason is Huang Dongsheng's stubbornness and insists on complaining. In the words of his wife, it would be fine if you can win, but you just can't.

Since you have to do this, it doesn’t matter if you destroy the entire family, but you still have to make yourself so depressed.

Is it worth it?

This is also what Su Mu wanted to ask Huang Dongsheng, is it really worth doing this? What do you want? Seeking for the so-called justice, and using justice to exchange for your family is broken.

If you can get justice, it would be considered, but justice is so far away from you.

"Don't you really regret it?"

With such curiosity and doubt, Su Mu came to Huang Dongsheng's door. After knocking on the door, no one agreed to let him walk in, he found a thin man in the yard.

This man is Huang Dongsheng, but the information he had received was seriously inconsistent with the information Su Mu had obtained.

According to the information, Huang Dongsheng is only in his forties, but he is not as good as seventy and sixty. Although his clothes are simple, they are clean at least. But what makes Su Mu feel most disappointed is his eyes.

What kind of eyes are these?

Dull and dull! Listening! Loss of spirit!

Anyone who sees these eyes will feel like facing the god of death. In his eyes, you can no longer see any signs of life. The so-called agility and vitality have disappeared without a trace.

He should be able to live in one breath.

He is now a walking corpse.

A dilapidated courtyard, a person who is in a state of despair, the faint sunlight shines in, not only makes you feel no warmth, but it is like falling into the abyss of hell.

The cold that burst out in an instant stimulated Su Mu's nerves and his pupils subconsciously tightened.

"Is it that you are Huang Dongsheng?" Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

"I am Huang Dongsheng, who are you? Do we know each other?" Huang Dongsheng asked in a hoarse voice, his hoarse voice was like dry branches waving in the wind, harsh and cold.

"We don't know each other. I came here this time for your family's affairs, or to be precise, for the persistence in your heart."

"If you are willing to tell me, I will sit down and listen. If you are unwilling to say, I will not force you." Su Mu said gently.

Speaking of this, Huang Dongsheng's silent eyes suddenly seemed to be full of vitality. After a bright light flashed by, he looked at Su Mu and asked anxiously, "Who are you? Can you help me ask for justice? Can you really manage the matter?"

"I am Su Mu, the secretary of the municipal party committee. Do you think I can take charge of the matter?"

Faced with Huang Dongsheng's expectations, Su Mu, who originally wanted to hide his identity, said decisively without thinking about hiding it.

The moment he heard this, two sharp light suddenly burst out from Huang Dongsheng's eyes, and he shouted in disbelief: "Who do you think you are?"

"I am Su Mu, and I have the secretary of the municipal party committee of Feng City. This time I came to your Qinglong Town to investigate the truth about the provincial poverty-stricken town that has been going on for ten years."

"The Municipal Bureau of Letters and Calls has said about you, so I'll come and take a look. If you are willing to tell me, I'll listen. Of course, I hope you've told me."

"Huang Dongsheng, I can guarantee you that no matter how much grievance you are, no matter who your grievances involve, as long as you dare to say it out, I will support you." Su Mu said with a magnificent aura.

Huang Dongsheng's dead heart came alive in an instant.

He got up and rushed into the room, took a newspaper and raised it to Su Mu. When he found that the photo on the newspaper was Su Mu, the worry that had just disappeared completely, and he said excitedly: "It's you, it's you, it's really you, Su Shu*, I finally hope for you."

"If you don't come again, my old bones will be broken. Su Shu*, I'm wronged, my life is miserable, you have to make the decision for me."

While shouting, Huang Dongsheng knelt down on the ground with a thud and kowtowed desperately.

With the banging sound, Huang Dongsheng's forehead quickly turned blue.

Su Mu quickly helped Huang Dongsheng up, stared into his eyes, and said with concern: "Huang Dongsheng, you should be older than me, so I will call you Lao Huang."

"Old Huang, now I am listening to your grievances as the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee*. If you have any great grievances, I will give you an explanation. But don't kowtow again, I can't afford to do this. If you spread it, it will not do me any benefit."

"I understand, I did it wrong."

Huang Dongsheng is also the richest man in Qinglong Town after all, how could he not understand the trick here? After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his condition, he began to slowly say: "Shu Su*, I really didn't think you would come before, but since you are here, I will express all my grievances."

"You said that I came over for the poverty of Qinglong Town, so I can tell you that my business is because of this poor town."

"If I hadn't had the title of this poor town, I would not have ended up today. I would reveal the dark side of it, tear off all the masks of those people, and make them pay the price they deserve."

"you say."

"I said."

With Huang Dongsheng's narration, a big secret hidden in the darkness gradually emerged.
