I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 583 - 577: Harboring Filth and Tolerating Evil

The interrogation work was done quickly, but the wrap-up work took much longer because many things and many people required careful verification.

He Xiuwen had organized the information Zhao Cheng had provided and made a copy to give to Sun Leader in the city office.

Sun Leader put aside his current work, took the material, and began to read it from start to finish. Despite only reading one page, his hands started to tremble uncontrollably; Zhao Cheng was a devil.

He was a downright devil with no shred of humanity, guilty not only of murder but also of destroying countless women.

It was a miracle that Liang Xiaocui was still alive.

At this moment, Sun Leader couldn’t even begin to imagine what would happen if his daughter fell into the hands of this devil.

What good would it do to dismember this devil a thousand times over by then?

The damage had been done and could never be mended, an outcome that no one could bear.

After Sun Leader finished reading these materials, he was not only sweating profusely from his forehead but also from his back.

The five children included not only his biological daughter but also a second daughter from an old friend’s family and the only child of a pair of teachers.

The other two young men had just left school not long ago.

Sun Leader calmed down and began to convene an emergency meeting.

The main reason for the phenomenon of Zhao Cheng was not merely poverty but also the lack of regulatory oversight, with a legal consciousness so weak to the extreme that the village head and the village committee were in name only, playing no role in leadership or management.

The place had become a lawless land simply because it was remote and the elders in the village did not want to leave.

Were there only one Shuiwa Village, or were there many such corners hidden across this land?

The previously shelved new immigrant work had been restarted, this time with much greater intensity.

Shuiwa Village was unsightly with neither clear mountains nor beautiful waters, not to mention no roads, surrounded by areas where not even weeds could grow. Children in the village couldn’t go to school, and the elderly had to rely on folk remedies when they fell ill.

Such a dirty and filthy village had no need to continue existing.

And it wasn’t just this village; perhaps there were many more. After the emergency meeting, this work was urgently initiated.

...

Shuiwa Village was in chaos for a few days until a new village head and two militiamen arrived, and then everyone fell into line.

Those who had no issues continued to grow red sage.

Those who were problematic remained detained; some would be sentenced or sent to re-education through labor.

As for Zhao Cheng, there was no objection to his death sentence, which was to be carried out immediately.

Dawa, also known as Zhao Xiangyang, told the police about the hiding place where Zhao Cheng had secretly informed him, which yielded many valuables after excavation.

These were all turned in.

With the help of the village head, Dawa and Erwa applied for aid and received it quickly, with daily necessities and food delivered to their homes by the village head.

With food, they would not starve to death.

Although everyone hated the Zhao Family, both Dawa and Erwa had committed no wrongs, and they needed to be taken care of.

...

The work on new immigration was also progressing vigorously.

Lu Ye had also become one of the team members. He thought Sun Xiuyuan would never leave her house again, but to his surprise, upon hearing about the formation of the work group, she actively asked to join.

Sun Xiuyuan had a lot of research on various villages, making her a qualified member of the work group.

After much consideration, it was agreed upon.

The other two were still resting at home, but Li Qing and Lin Feng also decided to join.

In total, more than a hundred work groups were formed.

Lu Ye was more familiar with this land than with his own backyard.

Over the years, he had traversed every desolate desert in the area.

Originally, there were thoughts to have him serve as the deputy director of the command center, but Lu Ye already had too many titles, and he wanted to do something within his capacity.

Unexpectedly, he became the team leader, with Li Qing, Lin Feng, and Sun Xiuyuan as his team members.

Before departure, Sun Xiuyuan and Lu Ye asked for leave because Qiao Qingyu had been at Pingliang Dam all this time, and she had also been staying in the hospital, so they hadn’t had the chance to thank Qiao Qingyu. Upon hearing this, Li Qing and Lin Feng naturally wanted to join as well. After all, they really owed Qiao Qingyu. Otherwise, Lin Feng’s life would have been at great risk.

Lu Ye simply drove them to Pingliang Dam.

Qiao Qingyu was in the tent, checking the progress of planting red sage.

The plantation of red sage was now coming to an end.

Then she saw these four people at her tent.

Qiao Qingyu glanced at Sun Xiuyuan’s complexion and said with a smile, "You’ve recovered well. What’s this, you’re starting to work?"

"That’s right," Sun Xiuyuan said with a complex expression looking at Qiao Qingyu, her voice much more sincere, "Before we leave, we wanted to come and thank you."

"Thank me for what? It was just a coincidence that I happened upon you. You should be thankful for your luck, and that Lu Ye and his team got there in time."

Sun Xiuyuan glanced at Lu Ye and said with emotion, "When I saw Brother Lu appeared at the cave entrance, I thought I was hallucinating."

"Yes, Lu Ye arrived without any delay," Qiao Qingyu replied.

Lu Ye waved his hand, "Alright, it’s all in the past now, let’s try to forget about it slowly."

Qiao Qingyu packed up the things on the table and said decisively, "But I hope your work group will be careful. Shuiwa Village is not the first, nor will it be the last."

"Understood," nodded Lu Ye, "The city will make unified arrangements for safety and security."

After talking for a while longer, Lu Ye led them away.

Qiao Qingyu, however, was wondering to herself, aside from growing red sage, what else could she do?

...

The planting of red sage ended, and the work on the new immigrants at Pingliang Dam progressed in full swing. It was said that Lu Ye’s team had the highest efficiency.

After this crackdown, phenomena like Shuiwa Village would not reoccur, but each team was still assigned two security guards.

Next came the Labor Day holiday, and an open and desolate area was chosen for the construction of a new immigrant town.

The Wulong Chemical Factory didn’t even wait for the call from the city before voluntarily donating a million RMB.

The timing of the money couldn’t have been better, touching those in charge to the point of tears.

With this money, housing could be built, and roads planned.

The work on immigration would be much easier.

Not to be outdone, Wu Hong quickly established a brick and cement factory.

They began recruiting workers en masse.

Unlike the chemical factory, the brick and cement factories required more workers, so villagers from remote areas could all find employment there.

Meanwhile, Qiao Qingyu contracted several thousand acres of land for red sage plantation.

Pingliang Dam firmly refused to charge a lease fee, on the condition that experienced individuals be hired to manage the cultivation of the extensive area.

Qiao Qingyu readily agreed and decided to establish the Wulong Herbal Medicine Production and Processing Plant in the name of Wulong Group. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
