Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

As soon as these words were spoken, several villagers nearby burst into laughter. They thought, how could the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee appear in the village casually?

"Don't laugh, look at that, I'm not lying!"

Hongwu pointed at Liu Fusheng and spoke loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and indeed saw Liu Fusheng.

Someone shouted, "Hey, it's really him! What's going on?"

Liu Fusheng also recognized Hongwu. Since he was an old acquaintance, he would trick him today.

He walked towards Hongwu with a smile and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again. Hello, comrade!"

Liu Fusheng's identity was there, so even if Hongwu was reluctant, he had to bite the bullet and greet him: "Secretary Liu, hello..."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "You still remember me. It seems those two slaps were not in vain."

Hongwu's face turned red and he didn't know how to respond.

Liu Fusheng said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just walking around today. I'm not investigating a case. We've met twice in a row, so it's fate. What's your name?"

Hongwu hesitated and said, "My name is Hongwu."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "This is a good name, very impressive. I have something to ask you, I hope you can give me an answer."

Hong Wu quickly stepped back and said, "Secretary Liu, please stop joking with me. I am just an ordinary citizen. What can I know? You should ask someone else. I am a little busy and cannot accompany you."

The rest of the villagers also knew Liu Fusheng's identity, and they turned their heads away, not intending to talk to him.

Liu Fusheng sighed, "If it's inconvenient for you, forget it. I received an anonymous call from Hongcun saying that someone in the village was organizing smuggling activities. Among the participants was you, Hongwu. I wanted to give you a chance to redeem yourself, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it."

He spoke these words in a low voice so that no one else could hear them.

Hongwu shuddered, looked at Liu Fusheng in disbelief and said, "Nonsense, who called you? This is a rumor, slander and malicious defamation!"

Liu Fusheng said, "How can I disclose this kind of thing? We have a protection policy for informants. You know better than anyone whether you have engaged in smuggling, right?"

When saying this, Liu Fusheng raised his voice slightly, and the villagers nearby could vaguely hear some of the conversation.

Especially the word "informer", which made the faces of those villagers change. Two people even looked at Hongwu with surprise.

Hongwu didn't know that he had unknowingly fallen into Liu Fusheng's trap. He said foolishly: "I haven't done anything illegal. You can go to whoever reported it. Don't ask me about this kind of thing. I don't know anything."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Comrade Hongwu, we will talk more about this later."

After saying that, he walked towards the village.

After Liu Fusheng left, several other villagers immediately surrounded Hongwu.

Someone asked, "Old Five, what were you talking about just now?"

Hong Wu said: "Nothing, he said he wanted to go to the village to find out some information."

"What's going on? Who do you want him to find?" asked another person.

Hong Wu was stunned and said hurriedly: "I didn't ask him to find anyone. He said it himself. Someone gave him the information and he wanted to verify it."

The other villagers all looked unconvinced.

Someone frowned and said, "Old Five, you must not betray Hongcun, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!"

Hong Wu said angrily, "What are you talking about? Would I betray my ancestors? Liu Fusheng just said that someone in the village reported me for smuggling, and he wanted me to make meritorious contributions while serving my sentence, but I refused!"

Hongwu thought that after saying this, he could distance himself from Liu Fusheng, but other villagers thought that he was just being angry and making excuses on purpose.

We are all from the same village, who doesn't know who? Hongwu is a scoundrel who refuses to pay when he loses and asks for money when he wins. How can he, the secretary of the municipal party committee, pay any attention to you?

"Hey, what do you mean? Why are you looking at me like that? Damn, you don't think I'm betraying Hongcun, do you?"

Hongwu became anxious and pulled a villager over and started yelling.

The villager said, "No, it's just that Liu Fusheng came here suddenly, and we are unsure. You stay here and watch while I report the situation to the village chief."

The rest of the villagers didn't say anything on the surface, but they were all muttering in their hearts - could Hongwu be the so-called "informer"?

On the other side, Liu Fusheng strolled towards Hong Haotian's house.

His family is currently hanging up spirit banners and holding a funeral, so it's very easy to find.

Several days had passed since the incident, and only a few villagers came to pay their respects, and no one even ate at the buffet.

After Liu Fusheng entered the courtyard, he did not pay homage to Hong Haotian's spirit tablet, but looked up at the balcony on the second floor.

There were two police officers standing guard there. They were sent by the task force to continue investigating the scene where Hong Haotian hanged himself.

There was a man in the yard, swearing at the top of his lungs. Liu Fusheng knew from the voice that it must be Hong Haotian's younger brother, Hong Haoyu.

Hong Haoyu cursed, "Are you guys done yet? How many days have you been searching this room of more than 10 square meters? If you can't find any clues, just get out of here. Or are you just looking for trouble? Do you want to force a few more people to death?"

A police officer said: "Hong Haoyu, you'd better be respectful, we are performing official duties!"

Hong Haoyu sneered, "This is my home. I get annoyed when I see you. My elder brother has been killed by you. What? You want to put a accusation on me and kill me too? If you don't leave, I will scold you every day. You lackeys are so shameless. You don't do your job every day and just bully the common people!"

Despite the scolding, Hong Haoyu always kept a safe distance from the police officers.

Liu Fusheng shook his head. This kid used to wave his knife around, and now he only dares to curse in the streets. He must have been dealt with by someone.

It's just a pity for these police officers. Since they are in Hong Village, they dare not escalate the conflict. They can only swallow their anger and allow the scoundrels to insult them.

Next to Hong Haoyu, there were a few young men of the same age. Looking at their postures, they were also eager to try and curse at Xianjie.

These villagers are really ignorant of the law.

Liu Fusheng greeted them and walked to the second floor: "The customs in Hongcun are quite unique. In other places, when funerals are held, the family will find someone to chant scriptures or cry bitterly. Here, it's different. The younger brother curses and swears, for fear that the dead will have peace."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Haoyu and the police officers all looked over.

The police officer on duty at this time had never seen Liu Fusheng before, so he frowned slightly, wondering what he wanted to do.

Hong Haoyu knew the new municipal party secretary. He raised his voice and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, isn't this Secretary Liu, the top leader of Chaojiang City? What's the matter? Are you here to mourn my elder brother?"

"Our buffet is only for people from Hong Village. No outsiders, no matter who the secretary is, will be entertained. You should just be like these two guys and eat the dog food you brought with you!"

That's really harsh.
