Chapter 1749 Scope of Accusation

Hong Chengli was thick-skinned and still smiled: "Secretary Liu, you are joking. How can this be a three-edged military bayonet? This is just a maintenance tool, it just looks a bit like a three-edged military bayonet. Besides, even if the tool in Hong Jian's hand has a certain ability to hurt people, who can prove that he wants to kill Hong Zhide? After all, tools like kitchen knives and hammers also have a certain degree of lethality!"

After saying this, Hong Chengli smiled amiably, looked at Hong Zhide and said, "Zhide, were you confused in your sleep? Did you bring your dream into reality and talk nonsense to Secretary Liu? I told you a long time ago that if you are too tired, go home and rest."

"The environment in the ancestral hall is not as good as your home. At least you have your mother and your wife to take care of you when you go home. They can also take a look at your baby who is only a few months old. When you see them, you can sleep peacefully!"

Hearing these words of obvious warning, Hong Zhide's face suddenly changed: "Chief, please don't hurt them, come to me if you have any problem!"

Hong Chengli laughed and said, "You kid, you're talking nonsense again. I told you to go home and sleep, why are you so nervous? I see that your mental state is not very good recently. Why don't you go to a big city to see a doctor? Don't worry, the village can pay for it!"

"I..." Hong Zhide didn't dare to say anything more.

Because he noticed the warning look on Hong Chengli's face. If he continued to mess around, not only would he suffer, but the safety of his wife and children would also be threatened.

Liu Fusheng, who was standing next to him, saw everything and couldn't help but sneer.

How dare Hong Chengli openly threaten others in front of me? He is really brave to play such a trick on me.

Just when Hong Zhide was extremely conflicted, he slowly stood up and wanted to leave.

Liu Fusheng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Hong Zhide, I have a question for you."

Hong Zhide was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked at Hong Chengli.

Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "You don't need to look at Village Chief Hong. I am the one who wants to ask you a question. Can Village Chief Hong not let me ask it?"

Hong Chengli immediately smiled and said, "Of course not. Secretary Liu can ask whatever he wants to ask. Zhide, you should also cooperate with Secretary Liu, but you must be careful with your words so as not to make us Hongcun people look uncultured."

Liu Fusheng ignored Hong Chengli's veiled attitude and looked at Hong Zhide and said, "I know you have a wife and children to take care of at home, and you have many relatives and friends, all in Hong Village, but have you ever thought that if you don't cooperate with me about what happened today, you and your family will always live under a huge shadow?"

"For example, if one day, something unexpected happens to you like Hong Haotian, can you guarantee that your family can maintain their current lives? Even if they can, how can you guarantee that your son and grandson, as well as everyone you care about, will not encounter the same predicament as you one day in the future?"

Before Liu Fusheng ran back to Hong Village, he had already talked to Hong Haoyu about the general situation on the phone. Through Hong Haoyu's narration and Hong Zhide's performance, Liu Fusheng could confirm that he was one of the good brothers and good friends who often went out to sea with Hong Haotian.

The reason why Hong Zhide was brought to the Hong Clan Ancestral Hall was most likely because Hong Chengli hoped that he could follow the example of Hong Haotian and sacrifice for the clan and give his precious life.

Therefore, Liu Fusheng's words are very targeted.

After hearing this, Hong Chengli's face changed drastically, and he forced a smile and said, "Secretary Liu, what you said is a bit inappropriate..."

"Did I let you speak?" Liu Fusheng's face darkened and he rudely interrupted Hong Chengli, then his eyes continued to look at Hong Zhide.

Hong Zhide fell silent, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something very important.

Liu Fusheng said: "Everyone has only one life, and this life belongs to oneself. No one stipulates that you must sacrifice for someone. Especially this kind of sacrifice will form a vicious cycle, and will cause everyone to become a sacrifice of the clan... You are a person with modern education, not a slave of anyone. I know that you must have the ability to think independently!"

Liu Fusheng's overly straightforward words made Hong Chengli and the other deacons and elders lose their composure.

They whispered to each other and glared at Liu Fusheng. This municipal party secretary was trying to dig up the foundation of Hongcun.

Hong Zhide's body shook violently.

Liu Fusheng said: "Hong Zhide, do you want to be a living person with independent consciousness, or a beast that is kept in captivity and can be sacrificed at any time and anywhere?"

"Even if you are willing to be the sacrifice, you can't protect anyone! Because your family will have the same fate as you."

"I can assure you that if you cooperate with me, all criminals will not escape the punishment of the law, no matter if he is the village chief or the clan leader. Everyone is equal before the law."

Gulu.

Hong Zhide swallowed hard and looked at Liu Fusheng again, his eyes full of desire to survive.

However, Hong Chengli's face turned gloomy.

Hong Chengli knew that Hong Zhide had been deeply touched by Liu Fusheng's words. He knew that if he didn't speak up, things would develop in the worst direction: "Secretary Liu, aren't you going too far by making such irresponsible remarks in our Hong Clan's ancestral hall?"

"I went too far?" Liu Fusheng looked at Hong Chengli with a smile.

Hong Chengli said: "I know that you are the party secretary of the municipal party committee and a high-ranking official, but our country also requires respect for folk customs and the lifestyle of Chaojiang people."

"Your remarks about so-called sacrifices and livestock have seriously hurt the feelings of all of us in Hongcun. I demand that you apologize to us immediately. Otherwise, the more than 40,000 villagers in Hongcun will collectively file a complaint with the provincial government, or even the country, accusing you of insulting us and seeking justice for ourselves!"

Hong Chengli is worthy of being the clan leader who can cover the sky with one hand in his own small piece of land. With just a few words, he has put himself in the position of a victim. He also won over all the villagers and argued with Liu Fusheng, the secretary of the municipal party committee.

If an ordinary person faced this situation, he would probably be shocked by Hong Chengli.

Unfortunately, Liu Fusheng had seen too many storms and Hong Chengli's level was really not up to him.

"Village Chief Hong, do you really think that what I said is blaming you and the entire Hong family?"

Hong Chengli said coldly: "What else? Who else can you blame?"

Liu Fusheng laughed loudly: "Village Chief Hong, I'm not just talking about the Hong family, but also all the families in Chaojiang area who think that clan rules are more important than national laws!"

Hong Chengli's face turned pale with anger. He thought Liu Fusheng would explain to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that this bastard actually confirmed it for the second time and expanded the scope of accusation to the entire Chaojiang area!
