Rebirth in officialdom and rising to the top

Looking at the asphalt road that had reached its end and the winding and rugged mountain road ahead, Chen Wangyang looked at auxiliary police officer Zhou Wentai sitting in the passenger seat and asked:

"Brother Zhou, what's next?"

Zhou Wentai had already opened the door and got out of the car, stretching and saying:

"The road that the car can travel has come to an end. We have to walk the remaining three kilometers!"

Zhou Wentai, who is just over 1.9 meters tall, felt a little uncomfortable sitting in Chen Wangyang's Santana 2000. As soon as he got there, he quickly got out of the car and stretched out his muscles.

Chen Wangyang had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road, get out of the car with a male policeman in the back seat who came from the technical squadron of the County Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade for support, and hike up the mountain with Zhou Wentai.

Coincidentally, just when Chen Wangyang was visiting Anpinggou Village for some reason, early the next morning, the Qingyun Town Police Station received a call from the director of the Anpinggou Village Committee, saying that a family had raised a child. Several years of pigs have been lost.

At this time, director Zhou Zhengwu and community patrol officer Zhang Tao were both on duty, leaving only Chen Wangyang and two auxiliary police officers in the station.

So Zhou Zhengwu called the squadron leader of the technical squadron of the County Bureau's Criminal Investigation Brigade and asked him to send a criminal police officer to investigate the scene to support Chen Wangyang, and then asked Chen Wangyang to take Zhou Wentai, who was familiar with Anpinggou Village, to go out with him.

At this time, Chen Wangyang was surprised to learn that Zhou Wentai was actually from Anpinggou!

God helps me Chen Wangyang!

Along the way, Chen Wangyang asked Zhou Wentai many questions because he was familiar with the situation, and Zhou Wentai naturally told him everything he knew, allowing Chen Wangyang to quickly grasp the basic situation of Anpinggou Village.

Anpinggou Village was once occupied by a group of bandits before liberation and became the bandit's stronghold. After the liberation, after the bandits were wiped out, the mountain people who had been driven away by the bandits returned here and re-formed a village.

There are two common surnames in the village, one is Li and the other is Zhou, and Zhou Wentai's family is one of the villagers named Zhou.

Although both surnames are popular, it is the surname Li that dominates the village. Today's village party secretary Li Jin and village director Li Yin are both brothers.

In Zhou Wentai's description, brothers Li Jin and Li Yin were typical village bullies, who often led the Li family to bully the Zhou family.

The folk customs of the mountain people are inherently tough, and there have been many large-scale armed fights between the two families in the past few years.

Before the ban on guns, there was even a horrific scene where the two sides fought for a day and night with local guns and cannons. Many people on both sides died at that time.

So on the surface, the two surnames are fellow villagers, but in fact they are almost enemies...

Although the situation has improved a little in the past two years, it is not much better, because there are many people with the surname Li in the village, and they vote for the brothers Li Jin and Li Yin in every election.

This has allowed the Li family to firmly hold the positions of village party secretary and village director for many years, leaving no opportunity to people surnamed Zhou.

Having said this, Zhou Wentai, who was tall and strong, waved his fist fiercely to vent his dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Chen Wangyang couldn't help but sigh:

People often say that poor mountains and poor waters breed unruly people, and the poverty in Anpinggou Village really has a reason!

It's okay for fellow villagers in a village not to support each other, but the village party secretary and village director actually take the lead in fighting among themselves. This really fits the saying, "The poorer you get, the more you fight, and the more you fight, the poorer you get."

When going up the mountain, Chen Wangyang and Zhou Wentai, who were full of energy, were doing fine, but Zeng Xiaohu, a thin technical detective from the county bureau, was a bit overwhelmed.

Looking at the scorching sun in the sky and the rugged mountain road at his feet, Zeng Xiaohu couldn't help but complain while covering his sore waist:

"Isn't the national village-to-village connectivity project already covering 95% of the villages? Why doesn't your village still have access to it?"

He was a little dissatisfied with his mission this time:

How much is a pig worth?Is it worth traveling dozens of kilometers to survey the site?

Isn't it okay to just deal with it casually?

Everyone said that the black-faced Director Zhou of the Qingyun Town Police Station was a stubborn ass, and it seemed that he was right!

Zhou Wentai shrugged and said helplessly:

"Maybe our village is the only 5% left?"

Chen Wangyang saw Zeng Xiaohu's sweat on his head and his pale face, and knew that the other party really couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the tool box from Zeng Xiaohu's shoulder, carried it on his shoulder, and then said :

"Officer Zeng, we're almost here, just hold on!"

Seeing that Chen Wangyang was just a newcomer who didn't even have a police title or police number, Zeng Xiaohu originally looked down upon him.

But Chen Wangyang's behavior at this time made Zeng Xiaohu's impression of him much better. Hearing this, he barely smiled and said:

"Okay, thank you!"

Zhou Wentai looked at Zeng Xiaohu’s slightly swaying legs and asked:

"How much do you weigh?"

Zeng Xiaohu was stunned for a moment and said:

"120, what's wrong?"

Zhou Wentai thought for a while and said: "120? It's so light, it should be fine!"

What should be possible?

Just when Zeng Xiaohu and Chen Wangyang were confused, Zhou Wentai actually bent down and carried Zeng Xiaohu on his back, then stood up and left.

Zeng Xiaohu suddenly felt moved and worried at the same time and said:

"Brother Zhou, this is not good. After all, I am a big person and quite heavy. Don't tire yourself out again!"

Zhou Wentai kept walking and said nonchalantly:

"When I was 10 years old, I could carry dozens of kilograms of firewood up and down the mountain. Your weight is nothing. Besides, if I tire you out this time, no one will be willing to come to our support next time."

When Zeng Xiaohu heard what the other party said, he no longer refused the other party's kindness.

At this time, his impression of the two colleagues in front of him and the Qingyun Town Police Station was much better, and he no longer rejected this mission.

Seeing Zhou Wentai still walking on the ground with a relaxed expression while carrying a big living person on his back, Chen Wangyang couldn't help but give Zhou Wentai a thumbs up:

"Brother Zhou, your physical strength is quite good!"

Hearing Chen Wangyang's compliment, Zhou Wentai showed a simple smile and said nothing, but his steps up the mountain became a little brisker.

With Zhou Wentai's help, the three of them climbed up the mountain much faster, and soon arrived at Anpinggou Village, which is located in a mountain depression.

The houses in Anpinggou Village are all built against the mountains and are well-proportioned, with green mountains and green waters. If some of the houses were not in dilapidated condition, it would still be a sight to behold.

Seeing that most of the village was made up of newly built bungalows and small Western-style buildings, and only a small half was still the dilapidated tile-roofed houses from decades ago, Chen Wangyang couldn't help but ask:

“Isn’t Anpinggou Village the poorest village in the county? Why doesn’t it look like it?”
