Chapter 1712 Family Law

Zhou Xiaozhe nodded and left. Not long after, he walked into the office again and said to Liu Fusheng, "Secretary, Team Leader Qin and his team are on their way to Jiangtou City. They are going to Hong Village to arrest Hong Haotian."

Liu Fusheng said: "In that case, let's go to Hong Village as well, meet up with Team Leader Qin and the others first, and then go to the guesthouse."

……

The three cities of Chaojiang, Jiyang and Jiangtou are integrated into one, with many roads connecting them, forming a relatively mature urban community.

After Qin Guang received the call, he waited for Liu Fusheng at the entrance of Hongcun Village for about half an hour.

When the two sides met, Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Sorry for the long wait. Let's go to the village first. I also want to see what the clans in Chaoshan area are like."

Qin Guang said: "It's okay, I will wait for Hong Chengli if not you."

"Oh? Isn't he in the village?" Liu Fusheng asked.

Qin Guang said: "In the village, after the welcome party, Hong Chengli returned to the village. Before I came here, I called him and he said that he had something important to deal with and would come out to greet us after it was done. We will talk about the specific situation after we meet."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Without Hong Chengli's presence, we won't be able to enter Hong Village?"

Qin Guang nodded, looked at the roadblock in the distance and said, "That is the only entrance and exit of Hong Village. Unless Hong Chengli nods, no one except the people of this village can enter or leave."

Liu Fusheng said: "It's quite interesting. Hong Chengli wants to split the land and make him a marquis."

Qin Guang said: "I also feel very uncomfortable, but the governments of Jiangtou and Chaojiang cities said they could not help me. Instead, they advised me to respect local customs and rights. If we want to take compulsory measures, I am afraid we will have to coordinate police forces from other places."

Liu Fusheng narrowed his eyes and said, "So, up to now, Hong Chengli has not allowed you to enter Hong Village?"

Qin Guang nodded and said nothing.

Shen Qingqing said: "That's right. When we wanted to catch Hong Haotian before, Hong Chengli simply avoided us. Now he answered the phone. He has improved."

Liu Fusheng thought for a moment and said, "What on earth did Hong Haotian do wrong?"

……

On the other side, in the Hong Family Ancestral Hall in the center of Hong Village.

Hong Chengli sat upright on the armchair, staring at the young man kneeling in front of him and asked, "Hong Haotian, tell me the truth, what did you do?"

Hong Haotian, who had dyed yellow hair, looked tremblingly at Hong Chengli and the elders of the surrounding Hong family clan, and said in a trembling voice: "Patriarch, I just went out to sea to sail, pulled a few boxes of goods, and then came back. I don't know anything else."

Hong Chengli's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Hong Haotian, I have publicly promised the new municipal party secretary Liu Fusheng and Qin Guang from the Ministry of Public Security's special case team at Chaojiang Airport that I will hand you over."

"You only have two options now. The first is to insist that you are innocent and never give up. Then I will hand you over and let the people from the Ministry of Public Security pry your mouth open. The second option is that you tell me the truth. If the matter is really serious, I can consider using the power of the Hong family to protect you, or let you go and run away."

In fact, both Liu Fusheng and Hong Chengli were very clear that what Hong Haotian had done was definitely not ordinary smuggling.

Otherwise, Qin Guang's task force would not have pursued Hong Haotian so relentlessly and listed this matter as one of the key work plans.

After hearing Hong Chengli's promise, Hong Haotian's eyes flickered and he was slightly moved.

He knew that this was a promise made by the village chief in front of many clan elders and ancestral tablets, and it could not be false.

But after a few breaths, Hong Haotian still shook his head and said, "Patriarch, I really just ran the ship to transport goods, and did nothing else. Otherwise, you can hand me over to the task force. I won't drag down the Hong family."

boom.

Hong Chengli slapped the armrest of the armchair heavily and shouted in a deep voice: "Hong Haotian, you are stubborn and refuse to change!"

An elder at the side said tremblingly: "Chief, what do you mean? It's no big deal for this kid to run a ship and bring some goods and make some money. If you are in trouble, just hand Haotian over."

Hong Chengli said with some regret: "It's just a small matter to run a ship and carry goods. How could the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security target him? Now the leader of the special task force from Yanjing and Liu Fusheng, the new secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, are at the gate of Hongcun, waiting for me to hand over the person!"

"I'm worried that Hong Haotian was involved in the fire at the guesthouse. If that's the case, our Hong Village is doomed!"

What? The guesthouse was set on fire?

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the elders of the Hong family in the ancestral hall changed. Obviously, they also knew the impact of this case.

Hong Haotian shuddered slightly, knelt there, and dared not speak.

Hong Chengli keenly observed this detail. He said in a deep voice: "Hong Haotian, you know the Hong family. No matter what you do outside, as long as you tell your family, your family will find a way to help you... Hong Village has grown so big because of unity and mutual help. Everyone cares about the family, dares to sacrifice, and has a spirit of dedication."

"Even if you have committed a murder, I can find a way to help you survive. But when it comes to arson, you must realize the seriousness of the problem. The Hong family cannot suffer an unwarranted disaster because of your wrongdoings. Your family should not perish with you."

After saying that, Hong Chengli looked at the elders around him and said, "Everyone, I have said everything that needs to be said. As the patriarch, I must put the interests of the family first. If Hong Haotian refuses to admit his mistakes, then I will use the family law in front of our ancestors!"

Family rules!

These two words made everyone in the ancestral hall serious.

Hong Haotian shivered even more severely.

The Hong family's family rules are no joke. At the very least, the punishment may be torn into pieces, and at the worst, the person may lose his limbs or even his life. It can be said that the family rules are more severe in punishing the body than the national law.

In addition to physical punishment, there is also spiritual punishment.

After Hong Haotian was punished by the family law, his family members would be implicated and they would never be able to hold their heads up in the village again.

The other elders all knew the seriousness of the problem. After whispering for a while, no one stepped forward to refute Hong Chengli's idea.

Hong Chengli nodded, and just as he was about to take action, Hong Haotian suddenly said loudly: "Patriarch, please don't enforce family rules on me."

Hong Seung-rye said, "Oh? Are you ready to admit all your mistakes?"

Hong Haotian gritted his teeth and said, "Chief, I have realized the seriousness of the problem, but I cannot tell the cause and effect of the matter no matter what, because that will definitely implicate the entire Hong Village... I ask the chief, and all the uncles and brothers in the clan to help me take care of my family and leave them a way out!"

After hearing these words, everyone already knew what Hong Haotian was going to do.
