Chapter 8 chapter eight

During those few days, Zhou Changjiang and Ma Shan were inseparable.Wherever Ma Shan went, Zhou Changjiang followed him, like a servile dog.Once when I went to a restaurant for dinner, Ma Shan went to the bathroom, and Zhou Changjiang followed suit.The two stood there, Ma Shan dripping profusely, while Zhou Changjiang kept silent, as if suffering from a venereal disease, but in fact he did not urinate.Ma Shan said you are so afraid of death?Zhou Changjiang said that life is better, but of course he is afraid of death.Ma Shan said that you have done too many bad things, so someone wants to kill you.Zhou Changjiang said that adultery is not illegal.Ma Shan said besides adultery, did you do other bad things?Zhou Changjiang said no.Ma Shan stared at Zhou Changjiang and said, do you dare to say it?Zhou Changjiang said, what do you think I am doing?

Ma Shan said, do you admit to counterfeiting cigarettes?He zipped up his pants and said that if you don't admit it, I will leave you alone and let you die.Zhou Changjiang quickly said Brother Ma, you are wise.But counterfeit cigarettes are not really a bad thing, on the contrary, they are a contribution to the local economy.Think about it, the counties and towns call on farmers to grow tobacco in large quantities, but the tobacco leaves can’t be sold if we don’t buy them.The cigarettes we roll are not fake, but the brand is fake.But if we don't counterfeit, how can the cigarettes produced be sold?Ma Shan said to stop immediately, otherwise your counterfeit cigarette processing factory will be destroyed immediately.Zhou Changjiang said in surprise, no?Ma Shan said no?Why not?Zhou Changjiang said that we paid taxes according to the regulations. Ximen Town, Dongmen Town, and Beishan Township all came to collect money from us, and there was never a time when we refused to pay.If we are cleaned up, what is the benefit to the interests of the farmers and what is the benefit to the local finances?Ma Shan said, what is my brother-in-law Liang Qingtian doing with you?Zhou Changjiang said that he is mainly in charge of production and I am in charge of sales.What about Ma Shan and Tian Xiaoren?Zhou Changjiang said that he was in charge of contacting and protecting.

Ma Shan said who is Tian Xiaoren?Zhou Changjiang said you don't understand?He is the son of Deputy County Magistrate Tian.Ma Shan said, do you believe that the son of deputy county magistrate Tian can cover the sky with one hand?Zhou Changjiang said I don't know, anyway, he will support the sky falling, and we are just small foremen.Ma Shan said that if you want to do what you want, don't try to win over my brother-in-law.Zhou Changjiang said that this is not up to me, Brother Ma, he is not a child.Ma Shan said that if you don't want to die early, if you want to die, just listen to me and stop doing it.Zhou Changjiang said it's hard to say it again.

The two stayed in the toilet for a long time, as if they had eaten some bad food at the same time and had diarrhea. In the evening, Ma Shan went home, and Zhou Changjiang followed.Ma Shan had no choice but to call his daughter over to share the bed and make room for Zhou Changjiang to sleep in.Wife Han Yun felt honored and surprised to see the rich man in Ximen Town so close to her husband.When sleeping with the door closed, she asked her husband Benshan, what business are you and him in partnership?Ma Shan told his wife the truth.Han Yun said, what do you do to protect this kind of person?Death can purify the social atmosphere.Ma Shan said there is no way, as long as the law does not stipulate that adultery is a criminal offense like drug trafficking, I still have to protect him.

The next morning, before leaving the house, Zhou Changjiang gave Yingying 1,000 yuan, saying that it was your lucky money from your uncle.Yingying said it was not Chinese New Year yet.Han Yun said that Yingying was right, but she couldn't ask for the money.Zhou Changjiang said it doesn't matter, it will be the same sooner or later.Han Yun said that you don't want to be lucky and we still want to be lucky, as if you don't plan to celebrate the new year.When Zhou Changjiang heard this, he quickly took back the money, and said that he would give it back after the year, and then give it again.

Finally Ma Shan couldn't help but said Changjiang, you can't be too close to me like this.The murderer won't show up.You have to keep a distance from me, act alone, and lure the murderer out.I secretly protect you. When Zhou Changjiang heard this, he said, Brother Ma, I knelt down for you, please don't let me do this.You think of another way.Ma Shan said that there was no other way.I have more important things to do.If the murderer doesn't come out and the case isn't solved, then I can't do anything else.Take a risk, stay away from me, I promise you won't die.

Zhou Changjiang firmly refused.He clung to Ma Shan like a leech. This is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.
