Cultivation of true medicine and saints in the city

Chapter 257 She's gone

Night falls.

Zhao Shuli's home smelled like food, but Zhao Shuli and Zhao Xiaoyu didn't feel like eating.

Zhao Shuli smoked one cigarette after another, frowning.

Zhao Xiaoyu rubbed his sore legs from time to time, occasionally glanced at Zhao Shuli, but dared not speak.

He knew that by letting Kang Yingying run away today, he had messed things up.

"Uncle, what shall we do?"

After a long while, looking at Zhao Shuli with a gloomy face, Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help asking a question cautiously.

Zhao Shuli came back to his senses, glanced at him, and said nothing.

How to do?
Zhao Shuli also wanted to find someone to ask.

"Anyway, we have to find this woman."

Zhao Shuli spewed out a puff of smoke, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "After you find her, lock her up first."

"But where to find it?"

Although Zhao Xiaoyu also knew the seriousness of the matter, Zhaojia Village was surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there were so many mountains and plains, where could I find someone?

Besides, Kang Yingying still has long legs, so she didn't stand there for him to find.

Finding a lively, long-legged person in this mountain is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

"If you can't find it, look for it!"

Zhao Shuli said in a deep voice: "We have embezzled the charity fund. Someone found out. In addition to recovering the money, we might even be sentenced to prison. You must know the seriousness of this matter!"

"Uncle, I know all this."

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded bitterly.

"It's good to know."

Zhao Shuli patted him on the shoulder, "Let's eat, after we're done, we'll go find it separately. You go up the mountain, and I'll look for it on the road. In short, when you're born, you need to see people, and when you die, you need to see corpses."

"It's really poor here..."

Zhao Yifan came to a city hundreds of kilometers away by plane, and then drove to Zhaojia Village in a bumpy car.

Seeing Zhaojia Village hidden in the mountains, Zhao Yifan's first emotion was that this place is really poor.

The scale of the village is not large, there are only less than a hundred households, and the distance between each other is not too far.

Almost every household is made of earthen walls and tiles. This kind of architectural structure is almost on the verge of being exhibited as a historic site in the outside world.

Two days have passed since Kang Yingying called Zhao Yifan, but her cell phone is still turned off.

Obviously, Kang Yingying should still be in this Zhaojia Village.

If she goes out, she will definitely call herself the first time.

"Hometown."

Far away, Zhao Yifan saw a dark-skinned villager squatting on a rock at the head of the village. He walked over and asked with a smile, "This is Zhaojia Village, right?"

"um, yes."

The farmer squatting on the rock and smoking was none other than Zhao Shuli.

He looked at Zhao Yifan calmly, wondering in his heart, did this person come to look for Kang Yingying?
"Then, where is Zhaojiacun Primary School?"

Zhao Yifan asked politely.

"What's the matter with you?"

Zhao Shuli pretended to be curious, and asked Zhao Yifan back.

"Nothing."

Zhao Yifan smiled, and said relaxedly, "Just take a look." Until now, Zhao Yifan didn't know what happened to Kang Yingying here, so naturally he wouldn't tell the whole story.

But since Kang Yingying only encountered this after Hope Primary School came here, then Zhao Yifan had to go to the school to have a look.

By the way, learn about the use of charitable funds.

"Are you a staff member of a charity fund?"

Zhao Shuli asked tentatively.

"How did you know?"

Zhao Yifan didn't admit it or deny it, but just said something along the lines of his words.

"Our Zhaojia Village is very poor. Generally, no outsiders come. If there are, they are the staff of the charity fund."

As Zhao Shuli said, showing a simple and honest smile, he stretched out his hand and shook Zhao Yifan, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhao Shuli, and I am the village head of Zhaojia Village. Are you here alone?"

Zhao Yifan reached out to shake his hand, feeling a little doubt in his heart. Although Zhao Shuli's hand was rough, it didn't have any calluses. This is really strange. Doesn't the village chief need to work?
how can that be.

In such a poor place, even the village head has to work in the fields.

The reason is simple, the salary of the village head is not high, and even if there is money in this kind of place, it is difficult to buy things.

Thinking of Kang Yingying's suspicion of embezzling funds before, Zhao Yifan subconsciously looked at him a few more times, nodded, and said casually, "Well, that's right, I came here alone."

"That's really hard work for you."

Zhao Shuli breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "What do I call you?"

"Zhao Yifan."

Zhao Yifan didn't intend to hide it either.

"Your surname is Zhao too."

Zhao Shuli was stunned, and said with a smile: "It seems that we were still a family 500 years ago, let's go, I will take you to Hope Primary School."

The two came to the school while walking.

The school was empty and there was no one in sight.

"Xiao Zhao, look, I forgot."

Seeing this, Zhao Shuli slapped his forehead, looking annoyed: "The school was on summer vacation yesterday."

"A few days ago, weren't you still in school?"

Zhao Yifan asked casually.

Zhao Shuli nodded, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Yes, a few days ago, a staff member of your fund came to Hope Primary School to check the use of the charity fund, so the school deliberately postponed the holiday for a few days, waiting for your staff to leave After that, the school will be on holiday, but I forgot about it."

"Oh?"

Zhao Yifan frowned, "She's gone?" He stared at Zhao Shuli.

"Yes."

Zhao Shuli didn't change his expression, and said nonchalantly, "She's gone." This was Zhao Shuli's last resort.

It was impossible to find Kang Yingying on the mountain.

Zhao Shuli, Zhao Xiaoyu, and some relatives and others made a plan together, and simply came to sit on the sidelines.

Out of Zhaojia Village, there is only one road at the entrance of the village. As long as you guard this road, unless Kang Yingying doesn't go from here, she will be discovered by the two of them.

Seven or eight relatives, including Zhao Shuli, joined forces to guard the place 24 hours a day, day and night.

Climbing out of the mountain from other places is something that you don't even think about.

Hundreds of kilometers around, except for mountains, are mountains.

If Kang Yingying wanted to escape in this way, it was in Zhao Shuli's hands - even if she couldn't starve to death, there would be poisonous snakes and beasts that would kill her.

Since they don't know who Kang Yingying called that day, in addition to preventing Kang Yingying from escaping, Zhao Shuli and others have another thing to do these days, which is to guard the village entrance to see if there are any outsiders coming to look for her. she.

"Where did she go?"

Zhao Yifan smiled and asked a question on purpose.

"Xiao Zhao, I don't know about that."

Zhao Shuli shook his head, and said seriously: "Where does she go is a private matter, how can I ask?"

"But as far as I know, Kang Yingying should still be in Zhaojia Village."

Zhao Yifan acted more and more energetically, and didn't bother to tease him anymore, so he said bluntly: "Village Chief Zhao, where is the person, tell the truth."

"Xiao Zhao, why can't I understand what you said?"

Zhao Shuli's heart tightened, but his face was full of confusion. He shook his head and said, "The staff member named Kang Yingying really left a few days ago. You said that our Zhaojia Village is so poor, why is she staying here? what?"

"Hehe, she doesn't want to stay here either, but it should be because some of you won't let her go?"

Zhao Yifan smiled lightly.

"Xiao Zhao, you are a staff member of a charity fund. We are a poor village here, where we rely on the sky for food. We still count on your charitable funds to help us. How could we not let your staff leave?"

Zhao Shuli said with a look of injustice: "What you said, isn't it that we detain people without permission? This is against the law!"

"Village Chief Zhao."

Zhao Yifan raised his eyebrows, "Do you find this kind of performance interesting? Kang Yingying has called me before and told me clearly that she is here with you and found out that you have embezzled charity funds without permission. Otherwise, would I come here?"

Zhao Shuli's heart trembled, his eyes narrowed, and his smile disappeared. This is what he worries most these days!
The worst result of the whole thing was that Kang Yingying stabbed them out about embezzling charitable funds by cleverly setting up a name.

Now, the arrival of Zhao Yifan proved that it was too late to stop Kang Yingying from making a call that day.

Zhao Shuli was illiterate.

But he knows the law.

Ever since he focused on the charity fund and pulled Zhao Xiaoyu and other relatives into the water, Zhao Shuli asked Zhao Xiaoyu to study it.

Knowing this kind of thing, once it is discovered, it will be sentenced to prison in the end.

Zhao Shuli once thought about quitting.

However, once a person has tasted the sweetness, how can he let it go easily?

Especially the money came so easily and simply.

In order to make this process more concealed, Zhao Shuli and others racked their brains and thought of a way.

Let Zhao Shuli's son register a company in the county seat. Whenever there is a charitable fund donation, such as the purchase of food and school supplies, all the money will be taken from this company. From the book point of view, it is seamless. Every charitable fund is spent on sharply.

It's like this time the outstanding group specially set aside to subsidize tuition and miscellaneous fees for students. On average, a student can get 500 yuan a month as a subsidy. Although each meal can't be big fish, but at least you can see meat.

However, in fact, each student's 500 yuan subsidy, at least 450 yuan, has flowed into the pockets of Zhao Shuli and others. It is good for students to have a bowl of white rice for every meal.

"Little Zhao."

Zhao Shuli glanced at Zhao Yifan expressionlessly, and said slowly: "We did not embezzle charity funds, but your staff member named Kang Yingying has confirmed this matter. To tell you the truth, She has been checking the accounts at our place for the past few days. I thought, let her check it alone. Don’t make this misunderstanding bigger, or there will be no charity fund willing to help the children in the village in the future, then you come with me Come on, I'll lead you to her."
