Chapter 51 The clinic is on fire
Henry Zhang was unsure, but he looked in the direction of his health clinic, and there were several other houses around it.
He threw away the cigarette handle and ran towards the health center.
The health center he worked so hard to run was burned down by a fire. Fortunately, several surrounding villagers discovered it in time and took water from the river to extinguish the fire without spreading the impact.
The house was burned down, but the tables, chairs and benches inside were made of wood and were not burned. Fortunately, the iron cabinets protected the most valuable medicine.
Henry Zhang thought in his mind, it was not dry today, so why did it catch on fire inexplicably?
Next to him, Lao Zhang was holding a bucket and said, "Young man from the Xiao family, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I squatted at the door and smoked a bag of dry cigarettes. I saw someone wandering around your health center."
"Which one is it?" Henry Zhang frowned, it was indeed not an accidental fire.
"Let me tell you, you said it was me." Uncle Zhang looked around and saw that everyone was gone, then he whispered: "I look like a village scoundrel."
It's Ergou again, is he dying? Xiao Yang came up in a rage, pulling Da Zhuang, who was fighting the fire together, towards Ergou's house.
Ergou was not at home, so Henry Zhang thought for a moment and pulled Da Zhuang to squat in the grass next to him.
Sure enough, after a while, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a drunken figure came over here.
When Ergou opened the door, the man as big as an iron tower pounced on him, kicked him, and tied him tightly with the hemp rope in his hand.
"What are you two doing? Are you trying to make money and kill people?" Seeing the cold-faced Henry Zhang and the smiling Da Zhuang, Ergou shivered in fear.
"The health center is on fire, do you know?" Xiao Yang squatted down, looked into Ergou's eyes and asked.
"I...I don't know."
"Then what did you do just now? Are you back now?"
"I...I went drinking."
"Fart! Someone has seen you!" Henry Zhang saw him opening his eyes and telling lies, so he slapped him in the face, causing stars to pop out of his eyes.
"I just went drinking! Doctor Xiao is going to kill someone, Doctor Xiao is going to kill someone!..." Ergou screamed, trying to wake up the neighbors.
Ergou was very lethargic in the village. Normally, the villagers would want to hide away when they saw him, but now no matter how much he barked, no one paid attention to him.
"Don't disturb others while they are sleeping. Da Zhuang will gag him and beat him." Xiao Yang said with a smile.
Da Zhuang knew that Xiao Yang was capable, and even took his family to contract fish ponds to make a lot of money. He followed Xiao Yang wholeheartedly, even if he was asked to kill people and set fires, he would dare to do so.
Da Zhuang took off the smelly socks, stuffed them into Ergou's mouth, and punched them. Ergou's nosebleed and his face was swollen like a pig's head.
Henry Zhang moved a small stool and sat in front of Ergou, took the socks off his mouth, and said: "I ask again, was it you who did it?"
"No...I didn't do it." Ergou beat him to death and refused to admit it.
"Stick it and hit it again."
Da Zhuang realized that the punches were not enough, so he picked up the pole used to carry water in the yard and aimed at Er Gou's face.
When the two dogs saw it, they were so frightened that they even peeed out. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with "oooooooooo".
"Say." Henry Zhang took the sock from his mouth.
"It's the village chief... He saw that you made a lot of money selling fish today and you were prosperous in the village. He asked me to do it! He even gave me a thousand yuan!" Ergou knelt on the ground and smashed his head like garlic.
"Brother, what should we do now? Why don't we go to Zhao Dabao's house, pull him out from under the bed and beat him up!" Da Zhuang held the pole and wanted to vent his anger on Henry Zhang.
"Need not."
Henry Zhang thought for a while, came up with an idea, and said to Ergou: "I will give you two thousand yuan, and then you say this..."
The next day, Xiao Yang came to the township government again and mentioned some specialties of Taohua Village. According to the regulations, this was not allowed, but the busty woman who guarded the door was familiar with him and turned a blind eye and let him in.
.
Henry Zhang gave some to Zhang Ting, thanking her for helping him when selling fish that day. Then he took the things with him to the office of Deputy Township Mayor Wu Liuwu and knocked on the door.
"Why are you here?"
"I missed you, Sister Wu, and I brought you some local specialties from the village." Henry Zhang smiled.
"My mouth is quite sweet and I give you something. Is this considered a bribe? I won't do it again." Wu Liu smiled, picked up a piece of dried apricot and tasted it.
Henry Zhang chatted with her for a while, and suddenly said in a disappointed tone: "Sister Wu, I'm afraid I won't be able to work as a village doctor."
"What's wrong? Didn't you do well before?"
Henry Zhang reported to Wu Liu that his health center was burned down.
Wu Liu became very angry after hearing this. He slapped the table and said, "Is there such a thing? Is there any way to do this? Let's go, I'll go to Taohua Village with you."
Wu Liu made a phone call and called several police officers from the township police station, and rushed to the village with Xiao Yang. Wang Ping, as an accountant, wanted to calculate the losses caused by the fire at the health center, so she also followed.
Zhao Dabao knew nothing about it. He was in the courtyard of his home, drinking a few sips of wine from time to time in front of a table of food, happily celebrating that he finally defeated Henry Zhang. This time, even the health clinic was burned down. Let’s see how he can keep up with it.
Be against yourself.
After drinking a pot of wine, Zhao Dabao lay on the kang and just opened his eyes when someone came to call him, saying that a big leader from the township was coming. Zhao Dabao was so frightened that he quickly put on his shoes and ran to the entrance of the village to greet him.
Arriving at the entrance of the village, Zhao Dabao's heart skipped a beat.
A pretty woman and several policemen were looking at the burned health center with Henry Zhang.
"Oh, several leaders came to inspect, but there was no notice from above. I will let my mother-in-law cook and take care of the leaders!" Zhao Dabao nodded and bowed.
"No need, we received a report from Henry Zhang and came here to take a look." Wu Liu said lightly, and then asked the police officers who were investigating: "How is it? Is there any progress?"
"Report to the leader, we found out it was arson."
Wu Liu nodded and asked again: "Are you the village chief Zhao Dabao?"
"Well, yes." Zhao Dabao nodded quickly.
"Then go with the police comrades and go back for investigation." As soon as Wu Liu finished speaking, several policemen stepped forward to catch Zhao Dabao.
"Why are you arresting me? I am the village chief and I did not set the fire!" Zhao Dabao shouted while struggling.
"Didn't you release it?" Xiao Yang glanced at him and shouted from a distance: "Da Zhuang, bring Er Gou over."
Like leading a dog, Da Zhuang pulled the two dogs over who were bruised and swollen.
"Did you ask him to set the fire?" Xiao Yang asked.
Seeing Er Gou, Zhao Dabao felt a little faint, and said firmly: "No." After saying that, he stared at Er Gou. He gave Er Gou a thousand yuan as hush money, and Er Gou wouldn't say anything.
.
Who would have thought that Ergou would sell him out with just one mouthful: "It was Zhao Dabao who asked me to set the fire, and he gave me a thousand yuan!"
The hatred in Zhao Dabao's heart was completely over now.
