Chapter 1754: Too Lack of Pattern

Hong Chengli knew very well that there were not too many authentic Hongcun natives like him.

Over the past few decades, successive patriarchs of the Hong family have been frantically instilling the idea of ​​belonging to the same clan into everyone in the village. Apparently, this concept has been very successful, otherwise, Hong Village would not be so united.

However, no matter how successful the indoctrination is, it cannot change the real history of the past.

Especially since the person who did this was Xie Shuai himself, these things are all written in his biography and cannot be erased at all.

After a few minutes of silence, Hong Chengli slowly said, "Secretary Liu is really amazing. He actually found Hongcun's weakness. Well, I admire you very much, but I also hope you can understand that you are the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee. In the three cities in the Chaojiang area, you are indeed the only one who can control everything. However, in the entire Guangdong Province, you can only be regarded as a mid-level official."

"Do you want to know why our Hong Village has been able to exist for such a long time under the circumstances you described? Do you think we only rely on our large population? I tell you, you are wrong, absolutely wrong. Our Hong Village has a powerful backer, and the power of this backer is beyond your imagination!"

Liu Fusheng asked with a half-smile, "Oh? I want to ask Village Chief Hong, which great Bodhisattva is the backer you mentioned?"

Hong Chengli sneered, "You've already said that our Hong Village was built by the personal order of General Xie, gathering the blood of the Hong family throughout the province. You also know very well why the original inhabitants of Hong Village were slaughtered by the invaders!"

"Our Hong Village has made contributions to the country and has done a lot of good things for the Xie family. In order to repay this kindness, General Xie decided to rebuild Hong Village. Every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree here were all rebuilt with the help of General Xie's troops and funds."

"Over the past few decades, successive Hongcun village chiefs have personally visited the Xie family in Haizhou every year to maintain this revolutionary friendship."

"Secretary Liu, as a mere municipal party secretary, can you be more powerful than the Xie family in East Guangdong Province?"

"I advise you to recognize the situation and give up resistance. It's not too late to turn back now. If you act recklessly in Hong Village, you will face the wrath of the Xie family."

What Hong Chengli said was reasonable and well-founded. The reason why his group of indigenous people had been able to hold the position of village chief was because they had the support of the Xie family.

If no one supports it, the indigenous people, who do not have a numerical advantage, will never be able to control power for a long time and intimidate the more than 40,000 villagers.

Hong Chengli usually doesn't say such things because he knows how to act in moderation. He knows that the relationship between the Hong family and the Xie family will become weaker the more they are used. He only brings out the Xie family as a deterrent when it is a critical moment and he really cannot solve the problem.

Now Liu Fusheng has revealed his intention to dismember Hong Village. Hong Chengli is helpless and can only bring up the Xie family.

He was very confident in his own trump card. Looking at the entire eastern Guangdong Province, who could be bigger than the Xie family?

After hearing this, Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "I haven't found any historical records about this matter. I believe that Village Chief Hong is telling the truth. If it weren't for your kindness, General Xie wouldn't be able to help me like this."

"However, although Xie Shuai helped Hong Village rebuild with the intention of repaying a favor, it was more of a benefit to the people. It was not like what Village Chief Hong thought, to cultivate a behemoth to fight against the country and the government."

Liu Fusheng stared at Hong Chengli and said word by word: "I believe that the Xie family will never continue to protect you after knowing that Hong Village has become like this."

Hong Chengli said with a sullen face: "Secretary Liu, you won't cry until you see the coffin. Do you have to hear the Xie family speak clearly to you in person before you know what fear is?"

After saying this, he took out the phone from his pocket and said, "Should I call the Xie family? Let me know what their attitude is. I want to remind you that if you make this call, it will have a significant impact on your future!"

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Since Village Chief Hong has the Xie family's phone number, why not give it a try?"

"You really want me to fight?"

Hong Chengli stared into Liu Fusheng's eyes, trying to find even a hint of panic in them.

Unfortunately, he didn't find what he wanted.

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "When you call Village Chief Hong, please tell him that the person who wants to arrest you and threatens to dismember Hong Village is the new Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Liu Fusheng."

Hong Chengli nodded and said, "Okay, I think you are tired of living. Do you really think that the secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee is a high-ranking official in the eyes of the Xie family?"

Liu Fusheng said: "When serving as an official, one should benefit the people. No matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, you should not disappoint the country and the people. Whether I arrest you or dismember Hong Village, it is all to fulfill my responsibilities."

Hong Chengli gritted his teeth and said, "Bullshit, all bullshit!"

Liu Fusheng said with a sullen face: "Village Chief Hong, are you going to call the Xie family or not? If not, I will call the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee and ask them to work with the Jiangtou Municipal Party Committee to study how to dismantle the Hong Village issue."

Hong Chengli suppressed his anger and said, "Okay, you asked for it, don't blame me!"

After that, he turned on his cell phone and dialed a favorite number.

Hong Chengli turned on the speakerphone on his cell phone, with the purpose of letting Liu Fusheng feel how powerful the Xie family's aura is.

Beep, beep, after a few seconds of ringing, the call was connected.

A calm voice came from the loudspeaker: "Village Chief Hong? Why are you calling me at this time?"

Hong Chengli lowered his head, changed his expression, and said carefully: "Hello, Mr. Xie, I am sorry to bother you because Hongcun has encountered some difficulties."

"What difficulties?" Mr. Xie on the other end of the phone asked calmly.

Hong Chengli complained: "The new party secretary of Chaojiang City came to Hong Village and said that our village has too many people and is not conducive to regional stability. He wants to dismember us into ten or even twenty villages and re-demarcate the administrative regions... Mr. Xie, he wants to destroy our Hong family."

Mr. Xie on the other end of the phone said in a cold voice: "Nonsense! Is this municipal party secretary looking for trouble? He split a good village into ten or twenty parts. Is he trying to deliberately stir up conflicts among the people? Hong Village has been established for decades and has never had any trouble. What on earth does he want to do?"

Hearing Mr. Xie's words, Hong Chengli was immediately overjoyed. He looked at Liu Fusheng triumphantly and continued on the phone: "You are right. This municipal party secretary has just arrived in Chaojiang City to take up his post, and he wants to stir up some trouble to ignite his new job..."

"I guess he wanted to keep harassing Hongcun because I had some minor friction with him when I went to the airport to pick him up. However, I have already apologized to him, but this Liu guy still won't give in. He is so ignorant!"
