Chapter 1733 Bringing things to order

Liu Fusheng knew all this because in his previous life, after Xie Shengchen passed away, his history and secrets were written down and published, and even made into a documentary.

Today, as Xie Shengchen said, there are only a handful of people in the country and even the world who know that he is here. Even Chief Bai does not know of his existence.

After listening to Liu Fusheng's words, Xie Shengchen shook his head and said, "You are too young. There are many things that you simply cannot understand."

Liu Fusheng said: "My uncle's evaluation is very pertinent, but I understand one thing: you should do things according to your ability and make contributions according to your position."

"Uncle has the ability to carry forward General Xie's legacy, but he chose to stay in the memorial hall, looking at General Xie's life and the deeds of the more than 200 generals in the General Building, and spending his days in a daze. It's really a pity."

"This is not what a hero does. I remember that what Uncle admired most was a great hero like Xie Shuai who stood tall and upright, dared to take up arms and fight for the country and the people."

A long-lost gleam flashed in Xie Shengchen's eyes.

He smiled and said, "I admit that what you said is right. I did think about doing something great like my brother did, but that was in the past, not now. Now I am old and decrepit. Even if I did it, what could I do?"

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and everything is growing. We old men should all enjoy our retirement. But you, a young man, are facing a very difficult problem. Do you want me to help you solve the arson case and catch the real culprit behind it? I don't have the ability to do that."

Liu Fusheng said, "Uncle, you misunderstood. It is my responsibility to investigate the arson case, and I am confident that I can do it well. I came to see you today to ask about the clan situation in East Guangdong Province, but after I went to the Zhao family in Jiyang City, I got some answers."

"I understand the clans in Chaojiang and other parts of eastern Guangdong, and their understanding and judgment of the difference between party discipline, national law and clan rules. Eastern Guangdong is a land of outstanding people and a very advantageous geographical location. It should have an unparalleled bright future. However, it must embark on a journey of lightness and discard the ideological burden that restricts its development."

"When it comes to enforcing the Party's discipline and the country's laws, I can guarantee that I will be impartial and cut the Gordian knot, and restore Chaojiang to a clean and clear society. However, in terms of public opinion, I am not from eastern Guangdong, so I am naturally at a disadvantage. Only people like Uncle Ye are suitable to stand up, raise their arms and call for the welfare of the people."

Xie Shengchen said with a smile: "You are quite ambitious. Changing the tradition of the clan is like stirring up a hornet's nest. Just now you also said that you can only do things as big as your ability. Do you think you have such great ability?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Yes, I have confidence in myself. This confidence is not blind belief in personal ability, but going with the flow and believing in the power given to me by the times. Uncle, when the clan is in turmoil, it can improve the cohesion of the people and unite all the forces that can be united, which is conducive to the development of individuals and organizations. However, now that the world is at peace, the country will not allow any force to override the party discipline and national laws."

Xie Shengchen said: "It will take time to abolish clan rules. How long can you stay in Chaojiang? How can you convince those clans to cooperate with you?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Uncle, I don't mean to completely eliminate the clan rules. I just want to add a sentence at the beginning of all clan rules and family rules: 'All clan members must support the leadership of the country, support the country's policies, and resolutely abide by the country's laws.'"

Xie Shengchen pondered, "So your target is not the three cities of Chaojiang, but the entire Guangdong Province?"

Liu Fusheng said without hiding anything: "That's right, when I came to Chaojiang City to serve as the municipal party committee secretary, the first thing I had to solve was the arson case in Jiangtou City. After solving the arson case, I would focus on the entire Guangdong Province."

Xie Shengchen asked: "Are you targeting the Tang family?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "As long as the Tang family is devoted to the country, I will not touch them at all. However, if they want to sell out the interests of the country, then I, Liu Fusheng, will never forgive them."

What Liu Fusheng said before only made Xie Shengchen's heart slightly moved, but this seemingly casual yet decisive remark made Xie Shengchen's expression change slightly.

He asked, "You mean, the Tang family has betrayed the interests of the country?"

In fact, Liu Fusheng just wanted to test Xie Shengchen's attitude. He told Chief Bai that he was only 50% sure, but he didn't know what Xie Shengchen was thinking.

In any case, Xie Shengchen, as Marshal Xie’s younger brother, is also one of the older generation of revolutionaries.

These people may fight each other for some personal gains, but they will never sell out their motherland, because this is the country they built with their blood.

Now, Liu Fusheng knew that he had made the right bet, because Xie Shengchen's question had already made his position clear.

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Indeed."

Xie Shengchen said: "You talked to me about the clan, the great cause, the people's livelihood, and the development of East Guangdong Province. But the real focus is that the Tang family betrayed the interests of the country?"

Liu Fusheng smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to get to the point directly, but I'm afraid you won't believe it."

Xie Shengchen couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. "That's right. The foreshadowing above made me agree with your thinking, and the last words are the finishing touch. Otherwise, I would just think you are a lunatic, a fool, or a lunatic with ulterior motives who is trying to sow discord."

"Only after you explain your political ideals, outlook on life, and values, can I look at you differently."

"Come to think of it, I did have dealings with your father-in-law's father. You were right to call me uncle."

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "So, Uncle will help me?"

Xie Shengchen said: "You have to produce enough evidence to prove that you are not lying. After all, the Tang family has also shed blood and made efforts for the revolution. If they betray their original intention of conquering the world, it would be disrespectful to everyone's beliefs and other comrades. The consequences of this matter will be very serious."

Xie Shengchen said with a firm look, "I am about to be buried. If they had chosen other places to make trouble, I might not have bothered to care. But they chose the wrong place, Guangdong Province. Although my brother has passed away, I am still alive. The Xie family in Guangdong Province had the ability to set things right in the past, and they still have it now."

As he said this, Xie Shengchen's eyes shone brightly, and his hunched back became as straight as a mountain.

Liu Fusheng could feel an unprecedented strong desire from him.

Because last time, the person who set things right was his brother Xie Shuai, and he was just a loser who made the wrong choice.

Now, God has given him the opportunity to choose again, how can Xie Shengchen not be excited?

He must untie the knot in his heart!
