Chapter 621 Sparks Spread Across the Prairie (Part )

In an interrogation room in Yangcheng.

“Yang Jun, as a public official, you forged official newspapers and spread false news. Do you know what this crime is?”

Two uniformed interrogators were interrogating Yang Jun, one of them had a stern face and shouted at him in a cold voice.

Yang Jun, who had been mentally prepared, looked at the two of them calmly, sneered and asked, “Am I spreading false information?”

Although he was a little nervous and doubtful before, the moment he was quickly controlled by a group of elusive guys, Yang Jun completely believed the message Song Yang told him.

As a member of the system, Yang Jun is well aware of the procrastination of government agencies. How could they react so quickly to an act of simply “spreading false leaflets”?

You have to know that it is not even six o’clock in the morning and the sky is not yet bright. According to normal procedures, in this short period of time, no one will even call the police.

It was obvious that some people were extremely nervous. He had only been delivering newspapers for half an hour when their location was identified based on the map and then quickly controlled.

This naturally proved that the news spread by Song Yang was true.

“Stubborn!”

The man from before continued to scold in a cold voice: “You dare to break the law and discipline just by grabbing some gossip you heard from others, and now you have no intention of repenting. We will definitely report it to your unit and deal with it seriously!”

“Report it?” Yang Jun continued to sneer: “Do you dare to report it truthfully? Do you dare to publicly disclose the reasons for your punishment of me?”

“It’s so funny, how can I get out of here alive? You don’t think I’m really that stupid that I don’t understand the consequences of this, do you?”

The guy pretending to be cold squinted at Yang Jun, while his colleagues around him immediately put on friendly smiles.

“Stationmaster Yang, since you know the consequences, why do you have to embarrass yourself and your family?”

“You have been promoted to stationmaster at such a young age. In a few years, you will be promoted to detachment commander. With your ability and education background, it is not impossible for you to be promoted to captain in the future. You have a bright future ahead of you. Why bother making a fool of yourself?”

“I understand. What’s next will definitely be the old-fashioned coercion and inducement.” Yang Jun sat upright on the interrogation chair, his smile full of sarcasm: “You just want me to tell you how many newspapers your master behind you just released.”

Seeing that Yang Jun was unmoved by any soft or hard tactics and had taken the initiative to tear off the fig leaf, the two interrogators stopped playing tricks, closed the notebooks they were using for pretense, and leaned back in their chairs with cold eyes.

“Since you know, then cooperate obediently and let yourself and your family suffer less.”

“Although you are not married, your parents are still in their hometown. Our people have already set out to pick them up. Do you want to see them alive or dead? It’s up to you to choose.”

“…”

Yang Jun was silent, but his eyes were filled with only anger and hatred towards the two lackeys in front of him and the masters behind them, only apology and tears towards his parents, without any sign of compromise.

From the moment he made up his mind to do this, he did not have any hope of luck. He would never be so foolish as to think that the son of a noble family would understand etiquette and morals, uphold some bullshit aristocratic gentlemanly manners, and not implicate his family.

So Yang Jun did not hysterically question the other party why he involved his family, nor did he shout “Come to me if you have any problems.”

Yang Jun was well aware of the price he would pay, and knew that the noble families would never mind doing inhumane things to protect their own interests.

“You guys…” Yang Jun’s eyes were filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth: “You won’t succeed!”

“As long as there are people like me, the spark will not go out, and it will eventually set the prairie on fire!”

“Oh, maybe.” The two stood up one after another, not wanting to waste any more time, and only sneered: “Anyway, you won’t see that day.”

The door of the interrogation room was opened, and hurried footsteps were heard outside.

“What’s going on? It’s a mess.”

“News came from Huacheng that someone is also handing out flyers!”

The door was open. Yang Jun in the interrogation room heard this and laughed heartily: “Hahahaha, I saw it right now!”

……

Flower City, an important city in the west, is still shrouded in the morning mist, but citizens are already starting a leisurely day in the streets and alleys.

Steam was rising from the noodle stall as the boss skillfully prepared the noodles and added the ingredients. In a short while, bowls of spicy noodles appeared in front of the diners.

After eating noodles, I visited the teahouse, listened to opera, played mahjong, and chatted. Retirement life was very comfortable!
The residents of this city were already relaxed, and after entering the interstellar age, the pressure of life suddenly dropped, and the people of Flower City took leisure to a new level.

Apart from the young people who stay up all night and cannot get up, most of the middle-aged and elderly people will go to the teahouse to play for a while after completing their morning exercises. This is not only a leisure place for the people of Huacheng, but also a gossip center, where all the fun in the streets and alleys can be found.

Another comrade of Song Yang, Zhang Bin, used the teahouse as a place to spread the news.

Zhang Bin was once a soldier stationed on Yuanchu Star. He was accidentally injured during an exploration of a barren land and lost his left leg.

Although the army installed the most advanced mechanical prosthesis for him, his movements were still affected. After all, Tony Stark did not release his armor technology to the outside world, and the exoskeleton armor technology in this world still has some gaps. It is also impossible for the military to let the laboratory manufacture a prosthesis for a certain soldier at any cost.

After retiring from the front-line troops, Zhang Bin transferred back to Earth. Since he liked raising dogs since he was a child, he deliberately chose to work in the police dog base.

Over the years, with his high education and the new skills he learned through his interest, the quality of the police dogs at the base has improved significantly, and he was promoted to director of the training department, with full responsibility for the training of all police dogs in the base.

Today, Zhang Bin used the power of these police dogs. He had the same idea as Yang Jun. Since he decided to spread the news, he planned to work alone. First, other people might not be trustworthy, and second, he did not want to implicate his colleagues.

In order to make citizens believe the news from Yuanchu Star, there must be formal credibility. Yang Jun chose to forge official paper media, and Zhang Bin chose to forge an internal notice using special paper for the police force, and even stamped it with a fake seal.

“The Lin Group’s biological laboratory on Yuanchu Star, called ‘Spark’, has recently developed a genetically modified drug that can greatly improve body functions, cure a variety of diseases and prolong life…”

“The higher authorities have decided to use Huacheng as a pilot area. We ask the public security departments at all levels to cooperate with the health system to complete the drug injection work…”

“This pilot is voluntary. Citizens who are willing to experience the drug first can register with the street or police station and wait for the injection time to be arranged.”

Zhang Bin drove the flying car of the police dog base through the streets and alleys of Huacheng, and released a police dog whenever he arrived at a crowded teahouse.

“Barley, it’s up to you!”

The police dog was dragging a briefcase containing fake documents behind it. A cut was made deliberately at the bottom of the bag. As the police dog jumped around in the teahouse, the fake documents in the bag scattered out.

“What is it?”

“Don’t jump around, you idiot!”

“Why are there so many documents?”

“Ya’er! Is what’s written here true or false?”

“It’s stamped with an official seal, so it should be authentic, right?”

“Whether it’s true or not, just go to the police station and ask!”

“That’s right, let’s go and ask together.”

The guests in the teahouse no longer cared about drinking tea. They picked up a fake document from the ground and ran to the nearby police station in groups.

You can drink tea at any time, but you can’t miss the opportunity of longevity!
They are all elderly people, and if the news in the document is true, they can live a few more years and drink tea for a few more years.

Because of this, Zhang Bin was exposed faster and the official got the news immediately, but the impact he caused was more sensational.

“What do you mean? You’re saying these documents are fake?”

“Yes, we didn’t receive such a document at all!”

When the old man in the teahouse ran to the police station to inquire, he naturally received a denial from the local police officers.

“Perhaps the documents have not yet reached you.”

“Yes, my son is also a member of the police force. The documents he brought home before were on paper that was exactly the same as this one. There was also an official seal on it. Could it be fake?”

Since it concerns longevity, everyone hopes from the bottom of their hearts that this is true, and will naturally find ways to find reasons to prove that the news is true.

The police officer from the police station took a closer look and found that the paper was indeed the same as that used internally, and the seal was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, so he was not sure for a moment.

Although the noble families have woven a big network, it is impossible for them to occupy all positions in the system, especially the grassroots positions with “low pay, heavy work, and slow promotion”. How many young masters and young ladies would take the initiative to go to these positions to serve the peasants?
It is impossible for grassroots staff to know the truth before they receive accurate information from their superiors. Moreover, as they are of civilian origin, they also hope from the bottom of their hearts that the news is true.

Who doesn’t want to live a few more years without any illness or disaster?

In this way, the young and old men in Huacheng were gradually ignited by the enthusiasm of these fake documents scattered around.

The older people in Huacheng are usually leisurely, but with such a lively topic today, they are definitely getting a lot of fun!

The local noble families in Huacheng were still thinking about how to respond, but the gossip spread like a plague.

“What are you doing? Haven’t you caught the person yet?” Tang Xinrong’s video projection appeared in front of the head of the Huacheng Kang family.

Kang Shounian, the head of the Kang family, is nearly 80 years old and the only surviving “post-s”. When the news from Yuanchu Star came, he rekindled his confidence in life, although he had originally been waiting for death.

Kang Shounian, whose mouth and nose were buried in the earth, was most eager for the genetically modified medicine. He didn’t even care whether the news about the medicine would be leaked. He just wanted to get the safe and reliable medicine as soon as possible to prolong his life.

“You idiot, even your old man wouldn’t dare to talk to me like that!”

Kang Shounian sat on the soft sofa, his legs covered with thin brocade. He just glanced at Tang Xinrong’s projection, without any concern.

Tang Xinrong, who is in charge of contacting nobles from all over the country, has been feeling anxious and angry these days, yet enjoying the power at the same time. In order to give face to his father Tang Zhen and to settle the crisis as soon as possible, even the heads of other noble families would greet him, a junior, with a smile.

There were only a few old men like Kang Shounian who relied on their seniority and looked down upon even the incumbent Tang Zhen, let alone a junior like him.
Although the second young master of the Tang family was angry, he could only suppress it and forced a smile: “Grandpa Kang, you also know the current situation. If we don’t put out the flame, I’m afraid a big fire will start. By then, everyone will have a hard time, and it will inevitably affect the efficiency of drug development…”

Kang Shounian didn’t care about the previous words, but the last half of the sentence made him unable to sit still.

“The person has been caught, but I’m afraid the news can’t be suppressed.”

“I can’t suppress it…” The second young master of the Tang family said in a grim tone: “Then there will be bloodshed.”
