Chapter 448: Collision, and Loss of Money
Yi Zhonghai was scolded again at the street office and was exhausted both physically and mentally, but he still forced himself to rush to Wangjia Village.
He also had a clue in his mind that neither Director Xin nor Director Wang wanted the matter to become a big deal.
Then as long as he handles the whole thing himself, he should only be given a minor punishment or a severe warning.
Yi Zhonghai came to the suburbs and saw from afar a group of people at the intersection ahead, rushing towards the city in a menacing manner.
He didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he moved to the side of the road early.
But as those people gradually approached, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat.
Because he seemed to see a few familiar people, and it seemed that Village Chief Wang was following behind the crowd.
Faced with this abnormal scene, Yi Zhonghai subconsciously thought that it was directed at him.
He was immediately filled with anger and couldn't help but tremble as he thought:
'If my inference is correct, these people from Wangjia Village came into the city just to stab me in the back!
It's a mixture of truth and falsehood. If they start making a fuss, my reputation will be completely ruined!
And in order to appease these troublemakers, they will probably punish me severely!
Calm down! Don't be anxious! Phew~ Fortunately I ran into them, otherwise it would be really impossible to save the situation!
As the distance between the two sides continued to close, several people in Wangjia Village discovered that the man on the roadside ahead seemed to be Yi Zhonghai.
When Village Chief Wang saw this, he was furious. He pushed through the crowd and rushed to the front, cursing:
"You are so good, Yi Zhonghai, you have been monitoring our Wangjia Village all along, right? How dare you come to block us!
I'm not alone this time, hurry up and call out all your hired lackeys, let's see if the men in our Wangjia Village are cowards!"
Yi Zhonghai's expression froze, he was a little confused. He had suffered such a great injustice, but he hadn't even asked any questions!
Why did this old man just start scolding me and even monitor me? What the hell was he monitoring?
However, no matter how wronged he was, Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to lose his temper. There were more than 20 people staring at him angrily, and he didn't want to get beaten up again.
Moreover, he is here to solve the problem and must not act on impulse.
So Yi Zhonghai could only endure it. He shook his head with a wry smile and replied patiently:
"Hey~ I'm not trying to stop you, I'm just going to Wangjia Village to find you.
I just gave you money this morning and we were fine, but why did you turn around and send several letters of complaint to the steel mill and the street office?
If you have any dissatisfaction, we can discuss it. You are driving me to death by doing this!"
Yi Zhonghai's aggrieved look startled more than 20 young people, and they all looked at Village Chief Wang.
They didn't know about the letter of complaint. They only heard that the village chief was robbed and beaten, and it was most likely ordered by Yi Zhonghai.
Village chief Wang's eyes flashed. Since he was covering up for his brother, he naturally would not tell the villagers about the letter of complaint.
Otherwise, everyone's interests will be damaged and they will not get any benefits. They will definitely resent Wang Laosan, and he, as the village chief, will also be blamed.
So Village Chief Wang denied it and said, "What report letter? Yi Zhonghai, what nonsense are you talking about!
Stop talking nonsense. Since you gave the money, why do you want to snatch it back and even dare to hit someone!
I'm old and I almost died!
If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll beat you up and parade you through the steel mill and Nanluoguxiang!"
These young men naturally trusted their village chief, so they turned and looked at Yi Zhonghai angrily.
A few people with bad tempers rushed over, controlled the man, and punched him twice.
Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched in pain, and after struggling for a few times, it was useless. He could only hurriedly explain:
"Ouch! Calm down, it's all a misunderstanding, I didn't do anything like that!
There is no time to settle things peacefully, how could I make things worse?
There must be someone behind the scenes trying to sow discord, and I am also a victim!"
Village chief Wang waved his hand, signaling them to stop fighting. If something really happened, they would be in the wrong even if they were right.
However, he continued to curse angrily: "Don't quibble!
Apart from you, who else knows how much money I have on me and can ambush me on the road with such high accuracy?
I don't want to waste time talking to you. Let's go! Let's go to the steel mill and let everyone see this sanctimonious guy! "
Yi Zhonghai was pulled towards the city, staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
He was extremely panicked at this point and begged for mercy, "No, no, no! We can discuss this!
We have really been tricked. Lao Wang, you have ruined my reputation, and now you are just a knife for others!
Oh, right! When I took out the money this morning, I reminded you that the guy I went out with was probably the culprit, so you should avoid him.
He must have seen me giving you money, so he targeted you. He's trying to sow discord!"
Village Chief Wang snorted coldly, "Whether it was you who ordered it or we were plotting against you, our village's misfortune is all because of you!
Your enemy's account should also be held against you, and you are dragged to the city to seek justice, which is not unfair at all.
You can't deny being an adulterer, right? And everyone saw you beating Bao Qian, right?
Seeing that the other party was unmoved and could not be persuaded, Yi Zhonghai could only admit defeat:
"Okay, okay, okay! Just blame me! I'll make up for whatever you were robbed of!
If you try to kill me, make me lose my job, and ruin my reputation, then I'll just throw in the towel!
What do you get from this?”
Everyone paused. Although they had come here to avenge the village chief, they couldn't miss out on any benefits.
Village Chief Wang sneered, "Just to make up for it? You wish!
I was beaten up at my age and threatened with a knife at my neck. Is it over just to get my money back?
Then I suffered in vain, and so many people came here for nothing?"
Yi Zhonghai felt relieved after hearing this. As long as they could talk, it would be fine. So he suggested with frustration:
"Then I'll give you an extra fifty yuan as compensation.
And I really didn't hire anyone to rob or threaten you. It's so unfair!"
Village Chief Wang was relentless: "Who are you looking down on? I had more than fifty yuan in cash on me, and it was all thrown away!
Don't cry out for injustice, it's all one-sided, who knows whether it's true or not!
And regardless of whether there is evidence or not, I am in trouble and you are responsible!"
Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth secretly and cursed in his heart: "You old fool! You have such a big appetite!"
But there's nothing he can do. Someone has got hold of him and is going to bite him to death!
Yi Zhonghai could only continue to increase his bets and said in a resolute tone:
"Lao Wang! I don't care how much you lost, I'll give you another 300 yuan!
But when someone came to the village to investigate, I had to hide everything except the improper relationship between me and Widow Bao!
Otherwise, you can arrest me and criticize me. I accept the consequences!"
Village chief Wang was a little hesitant. Since he had already offended him, he wanted to squeeze out more money.
As long as you don't leave Wangjia Village in the future, even if this guy hires someone to take revenge on you, he will only end up getting shot.
Some young people saw that Yi Zhonghai had an attitude of resignation and were afraid that the negotiations would fall through. That was 300 yuan, and they didn't want to end up with nothing. So they quietly pulled the village chief's sleeve and reminded him to quit while he was ahead.
Village Chief Wang glared at him fiercely, then sighed and replied, "Okay, I'll give you another chance!"
Then he couldn't help but taunt: "By the way, you're not going to take back the 300, are you?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't respond. He saw the other party's bottom line clearly and finally relaxed.
He rudely broke free from the two people who were escorting him, and then said calmly: “Come with me to my house to get the money.
Lao Wang, I hope you can take good care of the villagers. If anyone says that I am violent or something, then we will be in trouble!
Anyway, by then I'll probably be a dead rat, with nothing to lose!"
Village chief Wang did not take this implicit threat seriously at all. He was already old and everyone had seen a big scene.
He simply asked two people to follow him into the city to get the money, and then told the others to wait outside the city.
After hitting a snag, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
