This speculation is quite tenable.

When rumors spread, many people in the village came to Cao Jiangang's home, wanting to find out from him whether the rumors were true or false.

Some people also made complaints about the projects in the village, saying that Cao Jiangang had a hand in every project in the village. They also threatened that they had evidence and made it clear who had told them these dirty things.

After this argument came out, more and more people began to believe that it was true. Some people in Caojiazhuang clamored for Cao Jiangang to give them an explanation.

Some people were very smart and went directly to the village accountant Cao Zhengyin, who was in charge of money, and asked him to stand up and speak out.

But Cao Zhengyin never stood up and said a word from beginning to end, and Cao Jiangang, who was the party involved in the rumors, didn't say a word either. This silence seemed to confirm what had already happened, which made many villagers in Caojiazhuang a little aggrieved.

Seeing that this incident was getting more and more lively, Cao Shujie didn't even expect that it would happen to this point.

He knew that someone must be up to something here, but he couldn't tell who it was.

But Cao Shujie didn't simply think that this rumor was spread by the group of people in the early morning of that day. He felt that someone was here to add fuel to the flames and deliberately take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

As for his purpose, it's hard to say yet.

"Shujie, our village is quite lively." Cheng Xiaolin came in from outside and mentioned.

Cao Zhenghu was sitting in the room drinking tea. He also heard about those messy things and said: "Don't pay attention to them, they are all a bunch of clowns."

"Grandpa is right. If you don't follow the right path and think about evil ways all day long, this won't last long." Cao Shujie also had the same idea.

Cheng Xiaolin agreed with their thoughts, but she said: "I guess Cao Jiangang will have a hard time this time."

"How do you say it?" Cao Shujie was very interested.

Cheng Xiaolin said: "If such a big thing happens, someone from above will definitely come down to investigate, are you right?"

"Yes!" Cao Shujie nodded, agreeing with this point.

Seeing that her husband agreed, Cheng Xiaolin continued, "Now that we have checked, according to the rumors outside, Cao Jiangang has been working in Caojiazhuang for so many years, and he is so stupid and handsome?

When she said this, Cao Shujie nodded, but he also said: "No matter what, that has nothing to do with us. Cao Jiangang should have thought of this outcome when he reached out."

The fact is just as Cheng Xiaolin said, just two days later, in mid-March, a police car drove directly into Caojiazhuang.

We went to Cao Jiangang's home and Cao Zhengyin's home in Caojiazhuang respectively.

Not long afterward, both Cao Jiangang and Cao Zhengyin followed the police car and took away a large number of account books.

But no one knows where they went or what the consequences will be this time.

At this time, Caojiazhuang became quiet for a moment.

But as soon as Cao Jiang was taken away, Caojiazhuang lost its visible leader. Less than half a day of silence, the village director Gao Weimin stood up and spoke, and threatened to take over the village party secretary and seize the village director's job.

Gao Weimin jumped out at this time, which made many people feel that something was wrong, but they didn't think much about it.

Cao Jiangang was taken away, and coupled with the rumors that had been circulating in the village, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that even if Cao Jiangang came out, it would be in vain. He could no longer survive in Caojiazhuang.

At this time, it is necessary to choose a new person for the position of village party secretary that has not been changed in more than 20 years. So who should we choose?

While Gao Weimin was jumping up and down in the village, there was a group of people who took advantage of Cao Jiang just being taken away and started making trouble again.

This group of people are from the Qinghuang Transport Team.

A dozen people came over at once, carrying various tools and driving bulldozers.

After arriving, they pushed away the four cement and stone piers on the dam.

They had been paying attention to the situation here. After Cao Jiangang's accident, they felt that the time was ripe. That night, Li Wenhao asked Liu Zhiqiang to bring someone over to start.

——

With a "rumbling" sound, all four cement stone piers on the dam were pushed down the dam. Fortunately, there is farmland on the east side of the dam and a pear orchard on the left, which are relatively far from residential areas.

"Brother Qiang, you are still the best." Someone gave Liu Zhiqiang a thumbs up and flattered him.

But Liu Zhiqiang was unmoved at all. He knew it would be easy to push this thing away, but what would happen next?

Cao Jiangang was indeed dying, but he could not forget the young man he had seen on the river dam early that morning.

He had a feeling that this matter was not over yet.

"Brother Qiang, do you still want to push those two at the entrance of the village?" someone asked next to him.

Liu Zhiqiang wanted to slap him: "What the hell, why don't you hurry up and leave? There are thousands of people in Caojiazhuang, and we are just the dozen or so of us?"

"Don't we have bulldozers?"

Hearing what he said, Liu Zhiqiang grabbed him and kicked him: "Stop looking for trouble. If you have a bulldozer, you are invincible?"

They came and left quickly, and it didn't take long for the dam to become quiet.

In the middle of the night, the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" sounded, and several construction trucks loaded with gravel came from the south. They came directly from the mouth of the dam to the north of Caojiazhuang and ran along the main road to the north.

Another construction vehicle ran away from the dam, and the sound could be heard far away at night. Someone went to the dam overnight to take a look, only to find that the cement and stone piers that had been built just a few days ago had been pushed down the dam.

Soon, word spread among the people in the village, and someone came to tell Cao Shujie. Only then did Cao Shujie notice that this had happened.

He wiped out the darkness and took his four dogs for a walk around the dam. He happened to see a construction vehicle running past him roaring from the south to the north along the dam.

All four dogs barked wildly, but the speed of the engineering vehicles did not slow down at all. Cao Shujie also felt that these engineering vehicles were more arrogant than before, as if they were showing off how powerful they were.

"Li Wenhao?" Cao Shujie guessed that this was probably Li Wenhao's fault.

But it doesn't matter. Those who only dare to make small moves behind the scenes and dare not confront each other openly are just small people and cannot be on the stage.

After leading the four dogs down from the dam, Cao Shujie thought about it and called the village director Gao Weimin.

At this time, Cao Jiangang is not here, and Gao Weimin is the only person in charge of the village.

But when Gao Weimin heard what Cao Shujie said, he immediately felt confused. He felt that what good could ordinary people do if they were working against the Yellow River?

"Shujie, don't worry, let me think about it." Gao Weimin said to Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie also saw that Gao Weimin wanted to use the "drag" tactic, and he was too lazy to argue with him.

"This is such a careless coward." Cao Shujie thought to himself.

He said: "Uncle Min, how about this? When it gets bright tomorrow, we might as well go to the village committee and shout twice, calling all the villagers over to discuss it together. What do you think?"

"Ah... we don't need to discuss this together, right?" Gao Weimin said subconsciously.

"Why not?" Cao Shujie asked him: "Those construction trucks are running on the dam again. Although they don't enter our village, there is no guarantee that some people in the village will go to the dam to play. Uncle Min, you haven't seen how many construction trucks are driving.

Come on, I was on the dam just now, and they didn't slow down at all, they simply didn't take our lives seriously."

At this point, Cao Shujie was not going to discuss it with him and said: "Uncle Min, if you don't go, I will go and gather the villagers tomorrow. If 2 tons of cement is not enough, I will buy 5 tons. If 5 tons is not enough, I will buy 10 tons."

, let’s see how arrogant they are.”

"We might as well call the police." Gao Weimin felt embarrassed when he heard Cao Shujie's strong words, but he was also afraid of confronting Li Wenhao and the others, so he came up with this idea.

Hearing what he said, Cao Shujie asked him: "Uncle Min, do you think it is useful?"

Gao Weimin stopped talking. There was no evidence, and nothing happened. Those construction vehicles were just running nearby, and there was no reason for calling the police.

The next morning, Cao Shujie went to Cao Jiangang's house to get the key and opened the door of the village committee compound. As the familiar Peking Opera tune hovered over Caojiazhuang, another familiar voice came.

"All the young and old men in Caojiazhuang, I am Cao Shujie. I have a very important matter to discuss with you now. If you have time, please come to the village committee compound."

Cao Shujie shouted twice more, and he waited silently at the door of the office. I wonder how many people will come today?

But what he didn't expect was that the first people to come over were his wife, children, parents, and grandfather.

After Mengmeng came over, she raised her little fist and shouted: "Come on, Dad, Dad is so awesome!"

Cheng Xiaolin also shook her fist at him to encourage him.

At this moment, Cao Shujie felt much more at ease.

"Shujie, don't think too much about anything. I support you in whatever you want to do." Cao Jianguo said.

After a while, more than a dozen people came in talking together.

There are still people walking here behind, and more and more people are coming.

When Cao Shujie saw these people, he suddenly felt trusted, but this feeling also made his heart heavy.

Not only did they come, but the remaining members of the village committee also came.

After coming over, when they saw Cao Shujie, they all came over to say hello to him.

Cao Jiangang was taken away, and the village accountant Cao Zhengyin was also taken away. Some people originally thought they could take advantage of the opportunity to rise to power.

But at this time, they realized that they could not convince the public and their prestige was not enough.

In addition, they also know what happened on the dam.

From the bottom of their hearts, they don't want to compete face-to-face with the people who drive construction trucks.

In their minds, they belong to the Yellow River section and are public servants. How can they compare with them?

Besides, even the village director Gao Weimin has not yet come into his own. If the sky falls, there will still be someone tall to support him.

But they never expected that Cao Shujie would actually take up this matter.

When they heard Cao Shujie's voice coming from the loudspeaker, several village committee members called each other to discuss it, but to no avail, they came here first.

After arriving, I found that most of the people in the village were here, and there were still people rushing here.
