Chapter 1732 Brother

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't want to go back yet. Excuse me, do you live here?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I am old and my hearing is not very good. I can see your mouth moving, but I can't hear what you are saying. However, no matter what you say, it's time to go back."

After saying that, the old man no longer paid attention to Liu Fusheng and continued walking forward.

Liu Fusheng followed the old man and said, "Uncle, there are some things that you can pretend not to hear, but you will never forget them."

The old man's body paused slightly, then continued forward.

Liu Fusheng said: "Actually, according to seniority, I should call you uncle."

This sentence finally made the old man stop.

He looked at Liu Fusheng and said, "Young man, what's your name?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "My name is Liu Fusheng."

"Last name is Liu?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "The surname Liu doesn't seem to fit... Who are your ancestors?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle, don't guess. I don't have any background, and I'm not familiar with the old comrades you know."

The old man asked, "If you are not familiar with me, then why did you come to see me? There shouldn't be many people who know who I am, right?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I am one of them."

The old man sighed and said, "I am old and useless, and my brain is not working well. Just tell me what you are doing here, and don't delay my meal."

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle, I'm hungry too."

Hearing this, the old man nodded and said, "Then let's have a meal together. It's all the big pot meals in the cafeteria anyway. If you don't mind, I don't mind your meal."

As he spoke, the old man hunched over and continued walking forward.

When Zhou Xiaozhe saw them heading towards the garden, he ran over quickly. Before he could say anything, Liu Fusheng asked, "Xiao Zhou, are you hungry?"

Zhou Xiaozhe shook his head.

Liu Fusheng said, "If you are not hungry, wait for me here for a while. If you are hungry, find a small shop, fill your stomach first, and then come back and wait for me. There is no dinner prepared for you where I am going."

Zhou Xiaozhe hesitated and said, "Liu Shu..."

Liu Fusheng raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Don't be polite to me. If you are starving, who will drive me?"

Zhou Xiaozhe said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go out to eat something and come back immediately. If you have anything, please call me at any time."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the gate of the memorial hall.

The old man saw all of this.

He smiled at Liu Fusheng and said, "You are really stingy, young man. You can't even give the big pot of rice to your guards?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle, you misunderstood, he is not a guard, but my secretary."

The old man said: "No matter what position you hold, you are still a close friend after all, and you are still very stingy."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Then be stingy. Anyway, I have to eat my uncle's big pot of rice by myself."

The old man smiled and said no more.

Soon, the two came to a small cafeteria, which was specially provided for the employees of the memorial hall to eat. At this time, many employees had already started to eat.

When they saw the old man and Liu Fusheng coming together, they all shut their mouths and stopped talking.

The old man led Liu Fusheng into a small house.

A middle-aged man dressed as a chef asked with a smile: "Grandpa, what do you want to eat today?"

The old man looked at Liu Fusheng, who smiled and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."

The old man nodded and said, "I'll eat whatever the cafeteria has, and I want two servings."

The chef said okay and turned around to prepare the meal. He didn't even look at Liu Fusheng during the whole process, nor did he ask any questions. It seemed that he was used to this situation.

A few minutes later, two large pots of food served on dinner plates were placed in front of the old man and Liu Fusheng.

The old man smiled and said, "The food is good today, with roast chicken and fish."

The chef said, "Today I went to the tea fields to harvest tea, and I bought two pheasants and two river fish. There are not many of us, so these are enough for us to eat. You two can enjoy your meal, and I will go get busy now."

The old man nodded, picked up his chopsticks, and asked Liu Fusheng while eating: "Who are you?"

Liu Fusheng was about to speak when the kitchen chef came back with a letter and placed it next to the old man.

The old man opened the envelope, pulled out two pieces of paper, looked at them and said, "You really have nothing to do with those people I know, but how did you know I was here?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Uncle, I really don't know how to answer this question."

"Don't dare to answer?"

The old man smiled and said, "Before you were transferred to Chaojiang, you served as the deputy secretary of the Fengtian Municipal Party Committee, and your administrative level was vice-provincial level."

"You went to Chaojiang to solve the arson case. The Bai family stepped in to block the decision of the top leaders. This was a gamble in itself. If you succeed, the Bai family can take advantage of the situation to intervene in Guangdong Province and launch an offensive against the Tang family. If you fail, the Bai family will suffer a greater blow."

"Your position is very critical."

The letter in the old man's hand seemed to contain very important information.

Liu Fusheng was not surprised by this. He smiled and said, "Uncle's analysis is correct."

The old man said: "You should go to the Xie family for help under the introduction of the Bai family, instead of coming here to find me."

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle, don't get me wrong. I just admire the character and achievements of General Xie, so I came here to visit and express my respect for General Xie. Other things are not important."

The old man said, "Oh, I see. I was wrong about you. You can leave after dinner. This meal is my treat."

The old man is very old, but his mind is not confused at all.

Since Liu Fusheng has made it clear that he does not want to be involved with the Xie family for the time being, he is also happy to see it happen.

Liu Fusheng nodded secretly and continued to eat.

After dinner, Liu Fusheng said, "Uncle has been here for about twenty years, right?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, I have been staying here since Xie Shuai left. When I have nothing to do, I look at those photos and think about those deeds. It is also a great pleasure in life."

Liu Fusheng said: "If General Xie had listened to you, or if you had replaced General Xie and set an example, the entire history would have been changed."

The old man smiled and said, "Why make too many assumptions about something that didn't happen? My brother spared my life out of brotherhood, and I am grateful enough. I don't want to say more about the so-called right or wrong."

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Uncle, Marshal Xie let you go not only out of brotherly love, but also because he hoped that you would truly repent and contribute to this country. After all, our country was built by that generation of people who fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood."

"As his only brother, you should cherish the new country that your brother has built with his own hands."

This hunchbacked old man is none other than Xie Shuai’s younger brother, Xie Shengchen, a man whose name is almost unknown in history.

Only Liu Fusheng knew that during the turmoil, the political views of the Xie brothers were different. Xie Shengchen tended to support the person in power at the time and secretly colluded with the generals in eastern Guangdong, preparing to force General Xie to side with them and change the fate of the entire country.

Xie Shuai discovered and stopped this incident in time. From then on, Xie Shengchen was placed under house arrest by Xie Shuai.

When Xie Shuai passed away, Xie Shengchen had also grown old, so he chose to stay in the memorial hall and never left.
