Chapter 97: There's Always a Way

n didn't eat. It's all because of my own affairs. I feel guilty, Xiao Zheng thought: "I troubled Town Mayor Guan." 。Come over here quickly, I'll pour you a drink. 。Guan Wenwei said, "I'll be there r...Xiao Zheng had just arrived in town, and Tao Fang, the new teacher from the Party and Government Office, came to deliver newspapers. Seeing that there was no one else in Xiao Zheng's office, she put the newspapers intended for other leaders on the sofa, picked up the teapot, made a cup of tea for Xiao Zheng, and placed it in front of him. 。"Mr. Xiao, about what happened that night, I didn't mean it. I wasn't in cahoots with them." 。Tao Fang stood there, her hands tightly clenched as she explained. 。It was obvious that her nervousness was genuine. Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said, "I know, those medicines weren't put there by you" 。That night, you, how are you later”

That night, Xiao Zheng was taken away by Li Haiyan and Xiao Jingyu, but Tao Fang stayed with Cai Shaohua. 。Xiao Zheng always thought that Cai Shaohua wasn't a good person either, and he would definitely take advantage if there was an opportunity. 。Tao Fang said: “I’m fine too” 。For this, I have to thank Li Haiyan. 。That day after you left, Li Haiyan even specially called Cai Shaohua to ask him to take me to the hospital and said to call the police to investigate this matter. 。So, our Director Cai sent me to the hospital in time, and nothing else happened. 。Though I was a little confused at the time, I hadn't completely lost my composure. 。Xiao Weiye, when can you tell Li Haiyan that I want to thank her When can you have dinner with her and me 。These days, Xiao Zheng is really not interested in eating and drinking with others. 。He said, “I will pass on your thanks to Haiyan.” 。Let's hold off on talking about meals for now. 。These days, I've been incredibly busy. 。“Okay, just let me know when Xiao commissioner and Haiyan are free.” 。Then Tao Fang said, “Xiao Weiyi, if there’s anything I can do for you, just tell me.” 。"Xiao Zheng glanced at her and said, "Good " 。But Xiao Zheng really couldn't tell, this girl Tao Fang, was she trustworthy or not

Tao Fang said again, "Xiao Commissioner, some people say I'm a relative of the powerful, even speculating that I am related to Song Shuji." 。Actually, I don't really care. 。The only connection is that they are alumni of the same middle school. 。Xiao Zheng nodded, didn't say more. 。Tao Fang also glanced at Xiao Zheng, feeling that Xiao Zheng didn't seem to believe her, so she added: "Xiao Weiyi, I just heard that the police station fired a policeman" 。This caught Xiao Zheng’s attention. He hadn't heard about this yet, so he asked: “Dismiss a police officer What is the name of the dismissed officer” Tao Fang replied: “Zhao Yougen” 。"Zhao Yougen! That name sounds so familiar!" Xiao Zheng patted the table with his hand. This Zhao Yougen, wasn't he the policeman who testified against him during an interrogation The police station actually fired Zhao Yougen! This must have been at the behest of the police chief or even County Public Security Director Ma Hao. 。To date, everyone who testified in the cases of Lin Yiqiang and Wang Fuyu has suffered varying degrees of retaliation! Xiao Zheng said to Tao Fang: "Thank you for this information" 。Tao Fang saw that Xiao Zheng was interested in what happened to Zhao Yougen, so she asked again: "Comrade Xiao, do you need Zhao Yougen's phone number or his home address" Xiao Zheng was startled. This was exactly what he needed. If he went to the police station himself, it might not be appropriate. He said: "I need..." 。"Tao Fang chuckled softly and said, “I can go inquire about it. I'll send you a message on your phone later.” 。"Xiao Zheng nodded: “Thank you.” 。Xiao Zheng was also a little unclear why Tao Fang was so willing to help him. 。He initially didn't regard Tao Fang as one of his own, but now it seems that Tao Fang perhaps didn't have too complex a relationship. Otherwise, Song Guoming and Cai Shaohua wouldn't have used her as bait, attempting to sacrifice her. 。After Tao Fang left, Xiao Zheng had no heart to deal with things like files. Those things now seemed completely unnecessary. 。Both the head of the district, and Mr. Xu, advised him to be careful and cautious from now on. 。but that's like having to live with your tail between your legs 。The problem now is that the other party is constantly suppressing them and acting with impunity. 。

Xiao Zheng couldn't stand it, and he couldn't stay out of this situation. 。He was still thinking, whether there were any other ways

At this time, Xiao Zheng's text message reminder rang, and he saw that it was a text message from Tao Fang. It was Zhao Yougen's phone number and address. 。

Xiao Zheng looked at the phone number on his mobile screen while picking up the landline to call Zhao Yougen. However, the other end replied with "The number you dialed is currently unavailable". 。Perhaps after being dismissed, Zhao Yougen didn't want people to ask him questions and just turned off his phone. 。Xiao Zheng looked at the address on his phone again, took his phone and keys, and went out. 。Xiao Zheng originally wanted to drive, but he thought it was better not to make things complicated. So he rode his motorcycle and went to the address. 。Zhao Yougen lives in a small town, and it's located in a mountainous ancient town area, so the conditions are not good. 。Xiao Zheng went to the bank, turned a few alleys, drove uphill for a while, got out of the car and walked a few steps before reaching Zhao Yougen's house. 。One could see that the brick wall was covered in moss and the doorway was slightly ajar, but there were people speaking inside. 。"Now, you've been fired. What are we going to do Xiao Ya's tuition, and Mom's medical expenses... what about our whole family" This was a woman's voice, it must have been Zhao Yougen's wife. 。。The woman said, "You're still messing around The police station said you went on duty on the street and harassed young wives. Wasn't your head messed up then" Zhao Yougen said, "Wife, don't you believe me either Are you also listening to the police station people talk nonsense"

“Officer Zhao is definitely not this kind of person” 。"Xiao Zheng pushed the door open and said loudly, 'Some leaders at the police station deliberately want to frame Officer Zhao, so they made up this lie.'" 。"Zhao Yougen recognized Xiao Zheng, and hurriedly stood up, saying, "Commissioner Xiao Why are you here" Xiao Zheng had spent so many days with Zhao Yougen in the interrogation room of the County Public Security Bureau, he still understood Zhao Yougen's character pretty well. 。That time, Zhao Yougen came forward to testify because, on the one hand, he did not want to engage in illegal acts like coerced confessions, and on the other hand, he had elderly parents and children at home, and he did not want to lose his job due to illegal activities. 。Therefore, he later stood up and testified, sending those police officers who had used torture to prison. 。To my surprise, the remaining factions within the police station have now turned against him. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Zhao Yougen and his wife in the old porch, as well as the elderly woman seemingly paralyzed on the bamboo couch in the main hall, and the awards pasted on the wall. 。This Zhao Yougen is truly someone with elders above and children below, bearing the weight of life on his shoulders alone. 。Now that he has been fired, what his life will be like going forward is a huge unknown. 。Xiao Zheng stepped forward, shook hands with Zhao Yougen, and said: "Officer Zhao, I heard that you were dismissed from the police station, so I came to see you right away. 。I want to thank you for standing up for me before, calling out those police officers who were using torture and insisting on justice. 。"Zhao Yougen's mood was still low. He said, 'You don't need to thank me, it's all in the past.'" 。And now I am no longer a police officer, I am just an ordinary citizen who was dismissed from public office. 。"And his reputation is ruined, they say he harassed women on duty in the streets!" Xiao Zheng said resolutely, "That's impossible. Those are just lies spread by those people to frame Officer Zhao." 。An officer like Zhao wouldn't do something like this. 。"But, who would believe us now He's been fired, everyone will say he must have done something wrong." 。Xiao Zheng took out ten thousand yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Yougen. This money was what he had prepared before coming: "Officer Zhao, take this money first." 。"Zhao Yougen refused: "No, no, I can't take this money." Xiao Zheng said: "Officer Zhao, please don't be polite to me now." 。You'll definitely need money before you get back to the police station, consider this as a loan from me. When you return to the station, just pay me back. 。"Go back to the police station" Zhao Yougen was taken aback, then a wry smile appeared on his face. 。"We're friends, can we go back to the police station" Zhao Yougen's wife also ignited hope. 。Just now, Zhao Yougen's wife only said "he," but now she suddenly changed to "our Yougen." 。It is evident that a man's dignity within the home is closely related to his work and social standing. 。Even if it's just a hope, it will be respected. 。Xiao Zheng said very affirmatively: "Of course it's possible to go back to the police station" 。I have already reported Zhao officer's situation to the county leaders and the leaders of the Public Security Bureau. 。They said that as long as the truth is uncovered, Officer Zhao still has a chance to return to the police station. That's also why I came here immediately. 。"

“This is great, so great!” Zhao Yougen’s wife was overjoyed. She clung to Zhao Yougen’s arm, her excitement and anticipation evident in her trembling hands." 。Xiao Zheng handed the money to Zhao Yougen's wife again, "Wait until Officer Zhao gets paid next time, and then I'll get it back from you." 。Zhao Yougen's wife glanced at her husband, and Zhao Yougen nodded this time. Only then did his wife take the money. 。Yes, they really need money now. 。Xiao Zheng said, "Sister-in-law, I want to invite Officer Zhao to a small restaurant on the street to have a meal and discuss things." 。"Zhao Yougen's wife immediately said, “Good, good, go on then.” 。It was lunchtime, and Xiao Zheng specially found the most remote small restaurant in town to have a meal with Zhao Yougen. They ordered some green pepper beef, braised chicken, and pickled radish soup, and they shared a bottle of liquor. 。Zhao Yougen unscrewed the bottle of liquor and poured two glasses, then asked: "Xiao Weiyi, what you just said shouldn't be true, right" 。The county and the county Public Security Bureau leaders wouldn't say I could return to the police station. 。As can be seen, Zhao Yougen's observation skills are still quite strong. 。Xiao Zheng indeed did not receive any promises from any leaders. 。Zhao Yougen saw through it, but in front of his family, he didn't point it out. 。Perhaps Zhao Yougen also needs this "kind lie." 。Xiao Zheng said, "Officer Zhao, it's true that no leader has said anything like that, but we can't just let it go. If we keep doing the right thing, you can go back to the police station." 。Zhao Yougen placed his hand beside the wine glass, looking at Xiao Zheng: "What can I do For the sake of going back to the police station, I can do anything!"one got out of the car and was still surprised to see that the trees, roofs, and ground were covered in stone dust. 。After getting off the bus, Li Zhong and others felt a bit out of sorts and coughed...
