Rebirth: 1977

Wu Pingyan's words "You are different from me" immediately made Bian Kang's face turn pale.

How could he not understand what Wu Ping meant?

It was a naked mockery of him being a down-to-earth rural cadre, and there was a strong threat in the tone.

Both of them made the same mistake, and Wu Pingyan would at most be criticized and educated, but what about Bian Kang?

Should I take responsibility for others? Should I take the blame for others?

Although he does bear an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, if the higher-ups investigate, shouldn't Wu Pingyan be the culprit?

Ma Pi! How dare you show off your superiority as a young master from the capital in front of him?

Bian Kang hated Wu Pingyan so much in his heart that he would tear him to pieces if he could!

However, a small impatience will mess up a big plan.

He suppressed his anger, looked at Wu Pingyan with a gloomy face, and tapped the coffee table in front of him lightly:

"Deputy County Magistrate Wu, Mr. Ye asked me to tell you something. Your grandfather, Old Master Wu, seems to be in poor health. I want you to go back and see him as soon as possible. If you are late, you two may be separated by the Yin and Yang."

Bian Kang stared at Wu Pingyan's eyes, trying to see clearly whether Wu Pingyan was really hiding something from him?

But Wu Pingyan had no idea about his grandfather's health condition. In fact, he had never thought that his grandfather was already in his seventies.

You may die at any time and anywhere and go to meet God.

Moreover, these words came from Ye Tianshui's mouth, how could he believe it?

Hum! Will ivory come out of a dog's mouth?

Not only did he launch a surprise attack on him, but he also deliberately created confusion and cursed his grandfather?

Ye Tianshui is such a fucking piece of shit!

Therefore, what flashed in Wu Pingyan's eyes was hatred and rage, but there was no panic or guilt.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Ye Tianshui took the risk to come and rob people today. He must be worried that we will fight back against him.

Are you using my grandfather as an excuse? I have to have a good talk with him when I get back. I can’t let him get away with it!”

Bian Kang felt a little relieved. As long as Mr. Wu stayed in the capital in good health, he didn't mind continuing to flatter his grandson.

"The blue sky is not as big as a bamboo hat." Who doesn't have a bamboo hat on his head?

It's good to press it down. It can block the sun on sunny days and keep out the wind and rain on rainy days.

"Does County Magistrate Wu have any suggestions for today's incident? We are now on the same boat, and no one of us can stay out of it.

Now, we must work together to solve the problems ahead before we can talk about the future."

Wu Pingyan felt more at ease when he saw that Bian Kang's attitude softened. After all, it was better to have a good discussion than to have a falling out.

When the sky collapses, there is always a tall man to hold it up. In Meihua County, Bian Kang is that tall man:

"County magistrate, don't your words carry weight with the city leaders?

Even though Ye Tianshui behaved like a bastard in this matter, one thing is clear to me: once the person is in his hands, we can't get him back.

You also saw that he had soldiers and guns in his hands, right? That bastard was so arrogant because he had elders in the army and a position that could help him hold up the scene.

In the capital, it was not easy for my grandfather to come forward to investigate, after all, the military and politics are different systems.

So, County Mayor, how confident are you that you can make the city leaders accept the current fact?

Twenty-five death row inmates were kidnapped. Will they explain this to us and the provincial leaders?"

Wu Pingyan placed all his hopes on Bian Kang.

Bian Kang: “...if it only concerns the city leaders, I can still shamelessly ask for help.

But now that it involves the provincial leaders, don’t expect the city leaders to speak for us. Perhaps, in order to quell their own anger, they will have to bear the accusations from the provincial leaders...”

Bian Kang uttered a sentence with difficulty:

"They would first propose to remove both of us from our posts, which would be considered a light punishment."

Wu Pingyan was silent for a while, then asked in a low voice:

"Are we going to be temporarily dismissed for the city leaders to see? Or are we really going to be punished?"

Bian Kang's eyes also turned red: "It's true, dismissal is the lightest punishment, maybe we can stay in prison for a few years instead.

So, County Magistrate Wu, for our future, you must ask your grandfather for help immediately.

Ask him to put pressure on the province, so that the city leaders can give a slight disciplinary action with a lot of noise but little action, and the matter can be put away."

Wu Pingyan looked at Bian Kang and said affirmatively:

"My grandpa doesn't care about these little things."

"Are you kidding me? Is this a small matter? This is our future for the rest of our lives!"

Bian Kang became anxious.

Is it easy for him to get to where he is now?

Wu Pingyan said sternly: "So, we have to solve this matter ourselves."

"How do we solve this? Ah? They are not the Bodhisattvas in the temple. How can we just make a few more to cover it up?"

Bian Kang jumped up and touched his injured foot, hissing in pain.

It's crazy. He didn't even bother to see the injuries all over his body, but instead he was here listening to this idiot Wu Pingyan talking nonsense in his sleep!

He grabbed the receiver and pretended to dial a number:

"If you don't let your grandfather come forward to solve the problem, then we will accept the punishment together! Then I will confess that this idea was yours!

I was just under pressure from your grandfather and didn't stop him!"

Wu Pingyan held Bian Kang's hand:

"You just want to fight me to the death, but do you think that if you, the fish, die, my net will definitely break?

Come on, don't be impulsive, we are just trying to find a solution now."

Bian Kang was angry: "What can you do? We are all stuck in a dead end."

Wu Pingyan came close to Bian Kang and spoke in an inaudible voice:

"Let's get through this first. There will always be a way to solve the problems in the future."

Bian Kang looked at Wu Pingyan in horror. He suspected that he had heard it wrong. This young man had not made any achievements since he came to Meihua County.

He can cooperate with him to the greatest extent in work, which means that no matter what decision he makes, Wu Pingyan will support him unconditionally.

He did not fight for power or profit. Of course, he had already given Wu Pingyan the best benefits. Even if he fought for more, he would not gain anything.

His evaluation of Wu Pingyan was that he was a dandy young man who came to the capital to play!

"What did you say? What do you mean by 'Li Dai Tao Jiang'? These are 25 living people. When the military police who are going to execute them arrive, we must push them out and...shoot them!"

Wu Pingyan looked at Bian Kang with a calm look:

"County Magistrate, you understand what I mean. It's to use someone else's power to kill someone else. Only in this way can we escape!"

Bian Kang's heart was trembling fiercely. He looked at Wu Pingyan in disbelief and sneered:

"You are crazy! Those are people, twenty-five of them! Not peach trees or pear trees! Where are we going..."

Bian Kang stopped himself from speaking, as he was almost led astray.

Although his men have killed people, they were all people who deserved to die!

Someone ordered him to do it, and he just obeyed.

"No! If I agree with your idea, I'll be crazy!

The whole county knows about today's incident. Who can you push to take the blame?

Sooner or later, the higher-ups will find out, and by then we will really have no way out!"

Wu Pingyan looked outside. The sun was setting and the sky was filled with sunset glow. How beautiful.

He thought of his mother, the biological mother who always indulged him in everything.

For his career, she floated in that creek.

"County Magistrate Bian, there are so many people in the detention center, they will die sooner or later.

Why not let them die earlier for our careers?

None of the military and police officers who come to carry out the execution know the death row prisoner. They just shoot whoever we give them.

Although we need to ‘verify our identity’, isn’t it true that if we say so, then it is true?”

Wu Pingyan looked at Bian Kang coldly:

"That's all I have to say. After all, I came up with this idea for your sake.

As for me... Haha, whenever I want to go back to Beijing, that road will be open to me.

What about you? Now we are cracking down hard, and you also said that the lighter punishment is dismissal, and the heavier punishment, huh, what else is considered heavier?

You have already been dismissed from your post. Even if you are not sentenced to prison, do you think those people who have been punished by you will come to take advantage of your misfortune?

Do you want to know how many people there are who take advantage of the situation?

County Magistrate Bian Kang, you have thought it through. If you want to drag me into this, the worst possible outcome is that I don't want to be the deputy county magistrate!

Then I will go back to Beijing. That is what I have been looking forward to. "
