Chapter 1740 Arrogant at first and respectful at the end

The police officers upstairs instantly knew Liu Fusheng's identity and immediately came over to talk to him.

Liu Fusheng waved his hand and said to Hong Haoyu: "What are you yelling about? I didn't hear you clearly."

With his understanding of human nature, he knows that different people need to be treated differently. Hong Haoyu has the mentality of a villain. He fears power but not virtue. When dealing with such a person, you must never give him face.

Hong Haoyu sneered: "I asked you to eat dog food, but you still don't understand what it means? How can such a stupid person become the party secretary? I..."

Snap, a crisp sound.

Liu Fusheng raised his hand and slapped Hong Haoyu on the face.

Hong Haoyu took two steps back, covering his face, with stars in his eyes: "How dare you hit me?"

Liu Fusheng shook his head and said, "Logically speaking, you are not qualified to be beaten by me, but I just arrived in Chaojiang and need to understand the people's sentiments. I happened to meet you, so it is your honor."

The surrounding villagers were all confused when they heard this. What? Slapping someone in the face is called being close to the people? This municipal party secretary is too ridiculous, isn't he?

Only Liu Fusheng himself knew that he never bullied honest people. Compared with those leaders at or above the department level in Fengliao Province who had been beaten by him, including Lu Cha Ke, Xiang Dong, Guo Yang and others, Hong Haoyu was indeed honored to be beaten.

If it wasn't for solving the case, he would never take action against such a person.

Hong Haoyu covered his face, stared at Liu Fusheng and shouted: "Someone come, the municipal party secretary beat someone, everyone come and judge, Liu Fusheng bullies people by taking advantage of his power, and comes to Hong Village to act wildly, and he doesn't take us ordinary people seriously at all! Is this still the era when ordinary people are the masters of their own destiny!"

When he shouted, the villagers who came to the Hong family to worship and the surrounding neighbors all heard the sound and came over to watch the fun.

Inside and outside Hong Haoyu's yard, more than a dozen people were staring at Liu Fusheng with murderous eyes.

The police officers at the scene immediately became alert. One of them came over to protect Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, did you come here by yourself? Do you want us to call for backup?"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "No need, Hong Haoyu and I are actually friends."

Friends? When the police heard this, they were all stunned. No matter from which angle they analyzed it, Liu Fusheng and Hong Haoyu could not be friends.

Apart from the difference in their identities, no one would slap a friend in the face when they meet, right?

"Who the hell is your friend? You hit someone for no reason, I'm going to call the police!"

Hong Haoyu stared and glared at Liu Fusheng.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "If we were not friends, you would have been taken to a designated place for questioning by the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security. The nature of the arson case is serious, and all the relevant people must be carefully investigated. In particular, you and Hong Haotian are together day and night, so you are obviously the main suspect."

"It was because I interceded for you that you were able to stay here and take care of your family. If you don't recognize me as your friend and want to call the police to arrest me, then go ahead and call the police. Let's go to the police station together."

Hong Haoyu's expression changed and he immediately swallowed the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth, because he also knew how bad the nature of the arson case was and how serious the impact was.

On the other side, Liu Fusheng kept staring at Hong Haoyu's expression, and through his reaction, he proved that he had noticed some details of the arson case, or had known about it but did not report it.

Liu Fusheng's words of taking him away obviously hit his soft spot, making him suddenly feel afraid. He even felt that some of Hong Haotian's affairs had been investigated by the Ministry of Public Security.

He struck while the iron was hot and said, "Hong Haoyu, you should know about the gasoline that Hong Haotian brought back, right?"

Hong Haoyu shook his head and said, "What nonsense! I have no idea what you are talking about. My brother and I are law-abiding citizens and have never transported any contraband."

Liu Fusheng laughed and said, "Without evidence, would I speak nonsense? Would I risk being criticized and punished by slapping you in the face?"

"This……"

Hong Haoyu felt very uneasy after hearing what Liu Fusheng said. Indeed, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, Liu Fusheng had such a high position, how could he slap someone in the face casually?

A person without some cunning can't become such a high-ranking official, right?

Unless he really has important evidence.

The more Hong Haoyu thought about it, the uglier his expression became.

At this time, more and more villagers gathered downstairs. Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Haoyu, what's going on? Who hit you? Don't worry, we are all here, we will take care of it for you! No one can bully the people of Hong Village!"

Inside and outside the courtyard, dozens of villagers echoed loudly, and the momentum was huge.

But Hong Haoyu no longer had the arrogance he had just now. He grinned and said, "Everyone, it's nothing. We were just joking just now. Let's go away quickly. I'm sorry!"

"Are you okay? Haoyu, tell me the truth, did they threaten you? Don't worry, we have more people, and the police can't do anything!"

"It's really okay, can I still lie to you?"

Hong Haoyu persuaded the villagers in every possible way and they finally dispersed.

The young people around him all frowned and looked at Hong Haoyu, wondering why his attitude had changed so drastically.

Hong Haoyu said with a smile: "I'm sorry, brothers, I have something else to do, you go back first!"

A young man asked: "What do you do if these policemen bully you?"

Hong Haoyu said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. If they bully me, I'll call you!"

After hearing this, the young men didn't say anything more and left the Hong family in a swagger.

The police officers looked at Liu Fusheng in confusion. They didn't know what magic this municipal party secretary had that could make Hong Haoyu give in with just a few words.

Liu Fusheng said, "Comrades, please continue working. I am here to take a look and not to disturb you... When the work is finished, I will ask Hong Haoyu to prepare some food for you."

The police officers were very confused. Why did they prepare food for Hong Haoyu when he just stopped swearing? What was he thinking?

Liu Fusheng looked at Hong Haoyu, who was under pressure and wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so he said irritably: "Okay, I'll arrange a meal for you."

The police officers looked at Liu Fusheng in surprise and admiration. As expected, he was worthy of being the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee. The weight of his words was different.

After they continued working, Liu Fusheng walked up to Hong Haoyu and said, "Let's find a quiet place and have a chat."

Hong Haoyu said: "Come to my room."

The Hong family lived in a self-built house with many rooms, and the rooms of the two brothers were far apart.

After entering the room, Hong Haoyu moved a stool for Liu Fusheng and sat on the bed himself.

Liu Fusheng took out a cigarette and asked, "Want to smoke?"

Hong Haoyu looked at the cheap cigarettes in Liu Fusheng's hand and said with some disdain, "Take mine."

After saying that, he took out a box of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from the bedside table and threw it over.

Liu Fusheng waved his hand: "I'm used to smoking this."
