Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

Hong Chengli took out a file bag, handed it to Liu Fusheng respectfully and said, "There are many people in Hongcun who engage in smuggling. I have dealt with Director Liu of the Jiangtou City Anti-Smuggling Bureau many times. The evidence I have is enough to keep Director Liu in prison for decades."

"These are all the information I compiled about Director Liu's corruption and bribery, including the date and location of the violation, the amount involved, and even who he talked to and what he did. I remember everything here clearly."

Liu Fusheng opened the file bag and pulled out a few documents at random.

After reading it, he said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. You have made a great contribution to the people of Chaojiang."

Hong Chengli sighed: "After talking with Secretary Liu, I have deeply realized my mistakes."

"I don't ask Secretary Liu to show some leniency to me. I only ask that you can allow our Hong Village to develop well in the future. Only in this way can I, Hong Chengli, live up to the ancestors of the Hong family."

Hong Chengli said these words sincerely.

His belief in the clan has reached a fanatical level. He demands others to sacrifice themselves for the clan, even at the cost of killing people, and he is also very strict with himself.

Liu Fusheng said: "Village Chief Hong is very righteous. I also want to tell you that the law is merciless. The crime you committed will definitely be punished by law."

"As for your contributions to the country, the people, and the Chaojiang region, I will also truthfully report to the organization, and I will strive to give you a chance for leniency. This is the only thing I can do, and I hope Village Chief Hong can understand."

Hong Chengli nodded heavily and said, "I understand. Secretary Liu has said before that I am not qualified to bargain with you. My only choice is to cooperate with you to solve the case."

"In the beginning, our ancestors of the Hong family were all passionate people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the country and the nation. As the patriarch of the Hong family, I, Hong Chengli, am not a coward. Secretary Liu, I will cooperate with you no matter what."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave first then."

Hong Chengli watched Liu Fusheng leave the Hong Clan Ancestral Hall.

After getting in the car, Zhou Xiaozhe said, "Secretary, I have met Hong Haoyu. He is investigating Hong Haotian's case. He said he is trying to recover the money owed by his brother for smuggling. There has been some progress, but he has not found anything particularly valuable... He also wrote a summary, take a look!"

Liu Fusheng took the file bag Zhou Xiaozhe handed over and said, "Thank you for your hard work. From now on, you will have to communicate with Hong Haoyu through a single line. If there is any situation, please report to me at any time."

Zhou Xiaozhe's eyes flashed with excitement: "To be honest, Secretary, I have wanted to be a policeman since I was a child. I hope I can solve cases and rectify social trends. Hehe, it's rare that I finally have this opportunity!"

Liu Fusheng sighed, "I'm glad you don't find it hard. Actually, it's a bit difficult for you to follow up on this matter."

Zhou Xiaozhe said: "I am so happy. No matter what arrangements you make, I will resolutely carry them out and ensure that I complete the task."

……

Back in Chaojiang, Liu Fusheng appeared in Gu Hongcheng's office.

Gu Hongcheng said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, you just came back from outside?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, Mayor Gu has a clear grasp of my whereabouts."

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "You forgot, you said that you would go to the special case team of the Ministry of Public Security today to learn about the progress of solving the case."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "This is my fault. Mayor Gu, please forgive me."

Gu Hongcheng said: "You are a noble man who forgets things easily. A heavy burden is placed on you. It is really too hard. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Gu Hongcheng was just being polite, but he didn't expect Liu Fusheng to take advantage of the situation and say, "Okay, thank you Mayor Gu for your support for my work!"

Gu Hongcheng was stunned: "Could it be that Secretary Liu really has something to do and needs my help?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, if there is nothing wrong, why would I disturb Mayor Gu's work?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Hongcheng asked.

Liu Fusheng sighed and said, "I want to take a walk around Chaojiang Old Town with Mayor Gu. To be honest, I haven't been to Chaojiang Old Town in all these days since I took office."

Chaojiang Old Town is one of the first batch of historical and cultural cities in eastern Guangdong Province, with a history of thousands of years. Chaozhou embroidery, Chaozhou sculpture, Chaozhou modeling, Chaozhou opera, Kung Fu tea, Chaozhou cuisine, etc. are all well-known throughout the country and are very rare.

Gu Hongcheng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll notify the staff now and ask them to prepare."

Liu Fusheng said, "No need for that. Let's just treat it as a private visit. Don't have a large following. That would affect the lives of the people and make us look like we are putting on airs and pretending to be nice."

Gu Hongcheng laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll be Secretary Liu's tour guide for once!"

The old town of Chaojiang, located in the city center, still retains its ancient appearance and architectural features and is currently a popular tourist attraction in Chaojiang.

The most famous landscape in the old city is the City God Temple.

Today, the City God Temple has not been repaired and looks a bit shabby.

Liu Fusheng and Gu Hongcheng got off the bus at Chenghuang Temple and walked towards Paifang Street.

Gu Hongcheng said, "Secretary Liu, this kind of city god temple and memorial archway is rarely seen in the north, right?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Yes, because of wars and industrial development in the north, in the era of breaking superstition, many traditional buildings have been demolished and destroyed, and even clan culture has gradually disappeared in the long river of history."

Liu Fusheng looked at the bustling market and the colorful stalls around him and said, "If Mayor Gu had notified us in advance and arranged for staff to receive us, we wouldn't have been able to see all this fireworks!"

Gu Hongcheng nodded and said, "Indeed, the country has clear regulations on the appearance of the city, and it is not allowed to set up stalls at will... I heard that when Secretary Liu was in Fuyuan City, he was unique and refused to strive for a sanitary city or a civilized city. Instead, he vigorously promoted the roadside stall economy?"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "At that time, Fuyuan was undergoing a mining reform, and the people's income dropped sharply. Being able to fill their stomachs was more important than anything else!"

Gu Hongcheng smiled and said, "A good official like you has really benefited the city! When the news reached East Guangdong Province, many leaders admired you very much. In the past two years, East Guangdong, especially Chaojiang area, has seen a variety of folk activities in full swing. I feel like it has returned to the lively atmosphere of my childhood."

Gu Hongcheng's words were half true and half false, because the folk activities in Chaojiang area have never stopped, and any festival is much more lively than that in the north.

Since Gu Hongcheng was chatting, Liu Fusheng naturally couldn't spoil the fun, and the two of them talked as they walked, and the atmosphere was very good.
