Chapter 47 Xianggufen

Xianggu died. The death of Xiangzhan awakened the conscience of the whole village... and also aroused the anger of the whole village.On the afternoon of the second day, more than 3,000 people, old and young, from Shangliang Village crowded into the county town and surrounded the county government!One by one, they wrapped their heads in white filial cloth and held banners made of white satin. Like snow in June, they gathered at the gate of the county government, strongly demanding to solve the case as soon as possible and punish the murderer severely! This incident alarmed the county magistrate, Zhao Guangchun, the county magistrate, pushed open the window of the office building, and saw the fluttering white flag at a glance... Then he asked the secretary to check, to see which village it was from?The secretary said that he had already asked, and it was from Shangliang Village.The secretary also said that the female village head of Shangliang Village was murdered.The county magistrate was taken aback and said, "Who?!" The secretary reported in detail again.After hearing this, the county magistrate immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.Not to mention social security issues, a few days ago, with his direct participation, Shangliang Village just signed a contract with a Hong Kong businessman to rebuild Huazhen, and the first sum of money contributed by the Hong Kong businessman has already entered the bank... This is a major event related to "political achievements"!So, the county magistrate immediately called the chief of the county public security bureau, and he ordered on the phone, "Come here right away."

Twenty minutes later, the county magistrate and the chief of the public security bureau appeared at the gate of the county government together.The county magistrate held an electric horn in his hand and said to the people surrounding the gate: "Folks, I am Zhao Guangchun, the magistrate of this county. The county party committee and the county government are deeply saddened by the murder of your village chief! Stand by me The person next to me is Director Sun of the County Public Security Bureau. I have ordered the County Public Security Bureau to immediately set up a task force, led by the director himself, to solve the case within a time limit! On the day the case is solved, I will also personally attend Comrade Liu Hanxiang’s memorial service..."

As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, he saw a mass of people kneeling down in front of the door... This time the county magistrate was moved again!The county magistrate stepped forward to help them up one by one, and said, "Go back, I mean what I say." Since the case was personally supervised by the county magistrate, the County Public Security Bureau mobilized the entire criminal police team and arrived at Shangliang Village that afternoon, where a task force was set up.Director Sun came to command in person and launched an extensive investigation... That night, Director Sun personally questioned the witness Feng Jiahe.But Feng Jiahe has been sitting stupidly in the flower shed, no matter what he asks, no matter how many times he asks him, he always says one word: "beast." Afterwards, he really couldn't ask anything, so he ignored him up.

Later, the public security officers searched and found some low-quality cigarette butts in the flower shed.They took fingerprints on the cigarette butts, so they judged that it was done by multiple people.Since it was done by many people, it is likely to be local people... So, Director Sun re-adjusted the deployment, mobilized personnel, and cast a large net in the villages within a radius of 20 miles for a census.Three days later, the rabbit was the first to be caught.After all, the rabbit is a rabbit. When someone came to ask, he turned his head and ran away. He was held down on the spot in the cornfield.Then came the second dog, the third mule, the turtledove... Leopard and the old cat ran away when they heard the news.The two first ran to Fancheng, and then to Dongyang, where they hid in a noodle restaurant and set fire to others... they were finally arrested.

When interrogating them, the leopards told the truth, they were just looking for a "gateway" to get rich... Among the six of them, only Lao Mao refused to plead guilty.When the old cat was caught, the old cat said viciously: "—a scourge!" The interrogator said: "Slow, slow, who are you talking about? Who is the scourge?" The old cat said: "She, she is the only one!" The interrogator asked in puzzlement: "She, is she sure about the damage?" The old cat said, "It hurt my eyes!" The interrogator said, "Tell me, why did it hurt your eyes?" The old cat said, "She, When she was in high school, she walked from Ananda, always from the village, carrying a schoolbag, looking foreign... I, my eyes hurt." The interrogator said: "So, do you know her?" Lao Mao He said bitterly: "I have known her since I was six years old, she has candy in her mouth!"

The county magistrate has personally seen the interrogation records.The reported interrogation record made the county magistrate horrified!Those are still children, ranging from fourteen to seventeen years old... But the cruel methods used to commit crimes are shocking!In the case file, there are a few words that are very eye-catching. They are what Xianggu said before she died: "Save them..." Looking at it, the county magistrate shook his head and couldn't help crying.For some reason, the county magistrate remembered his childhood, which was also a childhood of suffering! The day after catching the murderer was the day of burying Xianggu.As the magistrate of a county, Zhao Guangchun did not break his promise. He accompanied Mr. Qiu, a Hong Kong businessman, to attend the memorial service.

That should be the most solemn funeral in the area.On a July day, under the clear sky, three thousand people, old and young, all dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, leaning on mourning sticks, weeping loudly!The snowflake-like paper money was thrown into the blue sky one by one, and then fluttered down again, like tears from the sky!At the time of the burial, three thousand people knelt down in unison amidst the shout of "Send Xianggu!", bowed their heads to the sky, knocked once, knocked twice, and knocked again... Then, the common people lined up in a long line, one by one. Holding the loess in their hands, they added graves to Xianggu one by one.Every time the women walked to the grave, they cried until they died... At this moment, they thought of Xianggu's benefits!

On this day, Mr. Qiu, a Hong Kong businessman, was also shocked by the grand funeral.He couldn't help but shed tears, and murmured: "The magistrate, I don't understand. It stands to reason that the price I gave is not low, five million. If she moves to the city, how can she That's enough. That way, things like this wouldn't happen..." The county magistrate pondered for a moment, then blurted out: "Mr. Qiu, I can understand. Let's put it this way, we all had real ideals and beliefs. It's just that we are doing, doing...we fake it." When the county When Chang finished speaking, even he himself was surprised.At this moment, he didn't expect that he would say that, how could he say that?A county magistrate must be responsible for what he says.After that, he smoked three cigarettes in a row without saying a word.

Mr. Qiu didn't ask any more questions, maybe he didn't understand.He just repeated: "Good man, good man. Just for this, I want to be worthy of her, and I will not change." The most precious flower in the world - the moon flower, all moved out.These flowers were cultivated by Xianggu, and they were placed around Xianggu's grave one by one, attracting many butterflies in no time! ... That night, at midnight, the moon flower changed suddenly. In an instant, the front of Xianggu's grave was bright white.The icy and pure moon flower attracted passing vehicles like a sky lantern, and passers-by stopped to watch it one after another... Then it spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it became a local anecdote!

Four years later, the county magistrate was promoted, and the county magistrate Zhao Guangchun was promoted to the mayor of a prefecture-level city.In the past four years, the achievements of the county magistrate are obvious to all.People say he did it.Of course, the main achievement of the county magistrate is to build a flower base in this area that "moves flowers from south to north".Today, this flower base has cultivated and distributed thousands of flowers, with an output value of hundreds of millions, and is famous both at home and abroad.The former Shangliang Village, according to Xianggu's last wish, has also been declared again and again, and has been approved by the State Council, and has been upgraded to Moon Town, which is commonly known as "Flower Town".Today, the villagers have obtained official urban household registration, and have changed from farmers to flower workers.Frankly speaking, the county magistrate also gave gifts to people in the process of declaring the "Flower Town", and gave gifts to people one by one, but he didn't ask Shangliang Village to pay a penny. County financial reimbursement.

Before leaving, the county magistrate, now the mayor, made a special trip to Moon Town.Alone, he quietly drove the car for a walk on the town street. Now this small town has begun to take shape, with flower shops everywhere on one street and two rows; the townspeople all live in small two-story buildings.In addition, he is also very satisfied with the hygienic conditions of Moon Town, especially those old people who clean the streets of the town, all of them have a handkerchief hanging on their chests...it makes people laugh!Then, he came to Xianggu's grave, pinched earth for incense, lit three cigarettes in front of the grave, and sat silently for a long, long time... When he sat in front of the grave, no one knew what he was thinking .Then, he drove away in a car and never came back. Today's Xianggu Tomb is getting bigger and bigger. Every time it comes to the festival, the townspeople still follow the old custom to hold a handful of soil for Xianggu's grave.Today's Flower Town is also a distribution center for flowers from south to north, with a population of more than 10,000, and each person has a piece of soil. Every year, the tombs will naturally grow bigger and bigger, becoming a major local landscape!In addition, every person who comes to visit Moon Town must also take a look at Xianggu Tomb... The legend, after repeated verbal processing by the people, is very mysterious. Perhaps, after a few years, Xianggu Tomb will become a myth.
