Chapter 122 What crime should you be charged with?
"Ok?"
Ma Qixiong's eyes narrowed, and then he asked in a deep voice: "Then do you know where he went after he left your house?"
"do not know!"
Xu Guangfu shook his head and replied, then couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "Director Ma, has something happened to buyer Shen?"
Hearing this, Ma Qixiong's face darkened slightly, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
On the surface, everyone only knew that Shen Wanpeng was his nephew, but in fact, only he and Shen Wanpeng's mother knew that Shen Wanpeng was his child and his only son.
Otherwise, how could he feel so angry and nervous because of Shen Wanpeng's accident.
Seeing that he did not answer, a middle-aged man following behind him, wearing a green police uniform, hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Xu Guangfu aside and whispered a few words to him, telling him that Shen Wanpeng had been attacked by a pack of wolves, causing heavy bleeding and now in a coma.
After hearing this, Xu Guangfu's eyes widened slightly, and then he hurried to Ma Qixiong and said nervously, "Director Ma, I really didn't expect things to be like this. If I had known that buyer Shen would rush back to the commune overnight, I would definitely have persuaded him."
"Moreover, just a few days ago, we organized the militia company and members of the brigade to go into the mountains for winter hunting and drive away the wolves. Who could have thought that those wolves would dare to run out of the mountains and hurt people?"
"okay!"
Ma Qixiong was furious when he heard Xu Guangfu's excuse. He then waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Now tell me in detail what happened after Comrade Shen Wanpeng came to you yesterday!"
"No matter what, if such an outstanding commune official gets into trouble here, I must investigate the matter on behalf of the commune and give the family a satisfactory explanation."
After he finished speaking, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Guangfu.
When he thought of his only biological son, who was now lying unconscious in Tieshi People's Hospital, he couldn't help but feel an irrepressible resentment towards Xu Guangfu and Xu Yuying, and even the entire Jinshanbao Production Brigade.
At the same time, he also regretted why he didn't keep a closer eye on Shen Wanpeng, allowing Shen Wanpeng to chase the old girl Xu Yuying to Jinshanbao Production Team.
If he had known this would happen, he should have thought of a way to send Xu Yuying away so that she would not stay in the commune and harm his son.
When Xu Guangfu saw Ma Qixiong's attitude, his heart sank slightly, and then he hurriedly told him everything that had happened after Shen Wanpeng came over yesterday.
However, he did not say that he was the one who ordered Shen Wanpeng to leave first, but that Shen Wanpeng saw that it was getting late and took the initiative to say goodbye to him.
After saying this, he pretended to be calm when facing Ma Qixiong's scrutiny, but in fact, he couldn't help feeling depressed and worried in his heart.
No matter how he thought about it, he never expected that Shen Wanpeng would be attacked by a pack of wolves.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have driven Shen Wanpeng away!
Now, he was criticized by Ma Qixiong for no reason.
Although he is upright and has nothing to fear from Ma Qixiong, he can still be annoying if he gets into trouble occasionally.
"According to what you said, it was because that educated youth named Li Guoqiang was unwilling to sell the bear paw to Comrade Shen Wanpeng that he rushed back to the commune so late?"
After hearing what Xu Guangfu said, Ma Qixiong's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he spoke word by word.
At this moment, anyone could hear the anger in his voice.
Xu Guangfu's heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly explained: "I don't think this can be said. After all, it is their freedom to sell or not. You can't put the blame on them just because they don't sell!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, but Ma Qixiong didn't listen at all.
Because in his heart, he has completely determined that Li Guoqiang is the culprit who caused Shen Wanpeng's accident.
If Li Guoqiang hadn't insisted on not selling the bear paw to Shen Wanpeng, why would his son have returned to the commune so late?
If he hadn't rushed back to the commune so late, how could his son have been attacked by wolves?
If he hadn't been attacked by wolves, why would his son be lying unconscious in Tieshi People's Hospital?
Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back his anger, and shouted directly at Xu Guangfu: "Alright, the commune will have its own say on who is responsible, there is no need for you to tell me so much here."
"Now, take me to find that Li Guoqiang. I want to ask him why he is unwilling to support the hospitality work of the commune canteen."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was startled, and they knew in their hearts that Ma Qixiong was determined to put the blame on Li Guoqiang.
Although it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Li Guoqiang not wanting to sell the bear paw to Shen Wanpeng, but who made Shen Wanpeng happen to get into trouble?
Moreover, Shen Wanpeng happened to have an uncle who was the director of a commune.
Therefore, if anyone is to blame, it can only be Li Guoqiang's own bad luck!
Xu Guangfu looked at Ma Qixiong, who looked like he wanted to bring him to justice, and wanted to plead for Li Guoqiang, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, there are many things these days that are difficult to explain once they involve collective interests.
Fortunately, even if Ma Qixiong could successfully put the blame on Li Guoqiang, at most it would only prevent Li Guoqiang from pursuing a career in politics in the future.
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly, then hurried to the outer room and told Tian Guixiang to go to Xu Yuliang's house quickly to stop Xu Yuying, to prevent Xu Yuying from hearing the news and coming over to get involved.
Then, he silently took Ma Qixiong and others to Qu Yinfeng's home.
At this time, Li Guoqiang had just dug some soil and collected some snowflakes in the back mountain to fill the small world that had become larger. By the way, he also found two rabbit trails and set two traps.
When he returned to the gate of his home with more than 200 kilograms of firewood, he happened to meet Xu Guangfu, Ma Qixiong and others.
He first looked at Ma Qixiong and other strangers with some confusion, then hurriedly greeted Xu Guangfu with a smile.
"Uncle Fu, are there any guests coming to our village?"
"Ok!"
Seeing Li Guoqiang's cheerful face, Xu Guangfu quickly resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and then said seriously: "Qiangzi, let me introduce you, this is Director Ma Qixiong of our Majiadian Commune."
"He came here this time to ask you about the incident yesterday when Buyer Shen came to you to buy bear paws."
"You must answer Director Ma's questions carefully and seriously. Remember?"
After saying that, he gave Li Guoqiang a cautious look, and then walked to the side and stood. Li Guoqiang saw this, his eyes slightly condensed, and he instantly realized something in his heart, and then hurriedly smiled and shouted to Ma Qixiong: "Director Ma, hello, welcome to Jinshanbao Commune to guide the work, if you have any questions, just ask, I promise to tell you everything I know."
"Are you Li Guoqiang?"
Ma Qixiong looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome face and tall figure, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then he asked in a somewhat expressionless manner.
"Yes!"
Li Guoqiang nodded, then replied calmly: "I am Li Guoqiang!"
"Ok!"
Ma Qixiong narrowed his eyes slightly, then asked in a deep voice: "Then can you explain to me why you are unwilling to sell the bear paw to Comrade Shen Wanpeng?"
"Don't you know that Comrade Shen Wanpeng is the purchaser of our commune canteen, responsible for various important reception tasks of our commune, which is related to the future life and development of all members of our commune?"
"You are completely disregarding the collective interests of our commune by doing this. This is a completely selfish act."
"In fact, because of your selfish behavior, Comrade Shen Wanpeng was delayed and had to rush back to the commune overnight to report the incident. As a result, he was attacked by wolves and was seriously injured. He is still in a coma."
"Tell me, what crime should you be charged with?"
At this point, Ma Qixiong's face suddenly erupted with anger, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut Li Guoqiang into pieces.
"Injustice!"
Li Guoqiang glared, then quickly cried out, "Director Ma, I am innocent!"
"Yesterday, buyer Shen came to me to buy bear paws. He asked for 5 yuan per pound, which scared me."
"You know, pork in our county town costs less than 7 cents per pound. He asked me to sell it for 5 yuan per pound. Isn't that trying to make me make a mistake?"
"As a member of the Communist Party, how could I possibly do such a profit-seeking, thieving, and profiteering thing?"
"So, I can only refuse to sell the bear paw to him."
"Later, I thought about giving the bear paws to the commune canteen for free, but then buyer Shen came to me and said he wanted to buy them for 6 yuan per pound. I was so scared that I quickly rejected him."
"But, it seemed as if buyer Shen was determined to make me make a mistake, and he immediately raised the price to 10 yuan per kilogram, which scared me so much that I ran back into the house to hide."
"Then, not long after, Purchaser Shen left!"
"I really didn't expect that he would rush back to the commune overnight and be attacked by wolves."
"Director Ma, you must be careful!"
After hearing these words, the corners of everyone's mouth could not help but twitch, as if they had never expected Li Guoqiang to come up with such a fresh and unique reason to excuse themselves.
Under normal circumstances, when the village members heard the price of 10 yuan per catty, they would probably be so happy that they would not care about whether they made any mistakes or not.
Moreover, when those buyers go to the village to purchase supplies, they all buy at prices higher than the market price. Especially when purchasing precious ingredients such as flying dragons and bear paws, who would be willing to sell things to the buyers if they don't offer a high price?
It's just that this is the truth, but this matter cannot be brought to the table, it is a kind of unspoken rule.
Therefore, the people present had no way to blame Li Guoqiang for doing anything wrong. They even had to hold Shen Wanpeng responsible for offering a high price to induce Li Guoqiang to make a mistake, which was a complete 180-degree turn.
Just as everyone was focusing their attention on Li Guoqiang and wondering what was going on with his brain, Ma Qixiong's expression suddenly turned very ugly.
Originally, he had been planning to make a fuss about Li Guoqiang's disregard for collective interests, destroy Li Guoqiang's reputation, and then, on the pretext of criticism and education, send Li Guoqiang to the commune to do some of the dirtiest, most tiring, most difficult, and even most dangerous work, and eventually work Li Guoqiang to death.
As a result, he did not expect that Li Guoqiang would actually come up with such an upright and unquestionable reason, which directly overturned the charges that he had forced upon Li Guoqiang, and even threw a basin of dirty water on Shen Wanpeng.
This made him feel extremely uncomfortable, as if he had just gone to the toilet and was forced to hold it back, and he also found that there was no tissue to wipe his butt.
Damn!
Damn it!
Ma Qixiong suppressed his anger, and then asked with a dark face: "Since you think the price is too high and want to donate the bear paw to the commune canteen for free, why don't you explain the situation directly to Comrade Shen Wanpeng?"
"Ouch!"
Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang immediately slapped his thigh with his hand, and then said with a look of injustice: "Director Ma, you are blaming me wrongly. I wanted to explain the situation to buyer Shen at the time, but he didn't believe me at all. He thought I thought the price was too low and kept raising the price."
"How do you want me to tell him then?"
Ma Qixiong: “.”
"Well, to prove that what I said is true, I will go get the bear paws now and donate them to our commune cafeteria for free."
When Li Guoqiang saw Ma Qixiong's constipated face, his mind changed and he quickly continued speaking.
After saying that, without waiting for Ma Qixiong to say anything, he immediately turned around and ran to the corner of the yard, took out the four bear paws that were frozen hard in the earthenware jar, and stuffed them directly into Ma Qixiong's arms, and by the way, he did not forget to take Ma Qixiong's hand to hold the bear paws.
Ma Qixiong looked at the bear paw in his hand in a daze, a pale and blue look flashed across his face, and then he clenched the bear paw tightly and smashed it towards Li Guoqiang's face.
"Snapped!"
The next moment, Li Guoqiang failed to dodge and was directly hit in the face by the four bear paws.
Soon, his handsome face began to show some redness and swelling, and blood began to seep from his nose.
He felt the stinging pain on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, then he quickly closed his eyes, fell backwards, and lay flat on the snow, giving people the feeling that he was knocked unconscious by Ma Qixiong.
He even secretly stimulated his qi and blood, making the nose bleed more violently, and soon a large area of snowflakes was dyed red.
