Chapter 1756: Thorough Investigation

Liu Fusheng watched Hong Chengli's performance with a smile on his face.

A villager holding a kitchen knife asked: "Village chief, did the police threaten you? Don't worry, we will all help you. Even if they shoot, I will block the gun for you and will never let you be bullied!"

"Yes, village chief, you are the face of our Hong Village. If you are bullied, it means that more than 40,000 people in our Hong Village have been bullied! We absolutely cannot let you be captured by them!"

Hong Chengli frowned and shouted again: "Quiet, everyone, be quiet!"

After the villagers stopped talking, he said word by word: "You think too much. I, Hong Chengli, don't want to do anything, and no one can force me! Because I know very well that you and the entire Hong family are standing behind me. You are all my blood relatives!"

"But I hope everyone understands that the Hong family belongs to Jiangtou City, Jiangtou City belongs to Chaojiang District and Yuedong Province, and Yuedong Province is part of the motherland! Our small family must obey everyone, and we must abide by the laws enacted by the country when we do things!"

"You call me the village chief, so you should know that I am a government official. Therefore, I must cooperate with the government to investigate certain things. This is my duty!"

"Secretary Liu Fusheng and I went to Chaojiang and were not threatened! Now, as the head of the Hong family, I order you to disperse immediately and return to your homes within three minutes. I need Hong Village to restore normal traffic order! Do you understand?"

Hong Chengli's words were very beautiful.

Seeing his firm attitude, the villagers naturally did not dare to disobey and immediately began to slowly disperse.

The whole street suddenly became unobstructed.

Those nervous police officers also breathed a sigh of relief. Today's situation was really too thrilling.

And as for that parachuted-in municipal party secretary, I really don't know what means this guy used to eat away the tough bone that was Hong Chengli.

Li Wu walked quickly to Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, I have finished all the work in the ancestral hall. I just received news that the Jiangtou City police have arrived at the entrance of Hongcun Village and will be at the scene soon. Let's take this opportunity to return to Chaojiang!"

Li Wu felt that now was the best opportunity for everyone to withdraw. If they didn't leave now, once Hong Chengli changed his mind, they would be surrounded again.

Liu Fusheng nodded. He could understand Li Wu's feelings and was too lazy to explain the matter: "Okay, let's do this."

After saying that, he waved to Hong Chengli and said, "Thank you for your cooperation, Village Chief Hong. Please get in the car now. I hope that we can still cooperate happily after we arrive in Chaojiang."

Hong Chengli looked at Liu Fusheng coldly and said, "Secretary Liu's words make me feel a little terrified. As long as you don't dismember our Hong Village, we can discuss other things."

Liu Fusheng laughed: "Village Chief Hong misunderstood what I meant. What I just said was that you should cooperate well, not negotiate terms with you. As the village chief, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

"You..." Hong Chengli glared at Liu Fusheng fiercely.

Liu Fusheng ignored him and waved to Hong Zhide, saying, "Comrade Hong Zhide, come and take my car. Let's go to Chaojiang together."

A moment later, the Chaojiang City Procuratorate and Liu Fusheng's vehicle left Hongcun in a mighty manner.

……

Liu Fusheng knew very well that Hong Chengli would never give up easily.

However, when Hong Chengli personally got out of the car and asked the villagers to leave, he had already lost.

In the interrogation room of Chaojiang City Procuratorate.

Hong Chengli looked at Liu Fusheng who was sitting opposite him with an expressionless face.

"Secretary Liu, you promised that I was not a prisoner. Why did you bring me to this place? If you want to interrogate me, then show me the relevant evidence. Otherwise, I won't say anything!"

Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Village Chief Hong, don't be nervous. I did say that I would not treat you as a prisoner. Of course, if you are indeed guilty, I will definitely not show any leniency."

"I chose to talk to you in the procuratorate today because the equipment here is relatively complete, and the entire conversation between us will be recorded."

As Liu Fusheng spoke, he pointed at the camera not far away.

Hong Chengli sneered and said, "I understand. You don't have any evidence. In this case, what else do you want to talk to me about?"

Liu Fusheng said: "Let's talk about something that doesn't require evidence, such as the re-planning of Hongcun. Hongcun now has serious historical problems, and it is very troublesome to rectify them. However, even if we peel away the cocoon and extract the silk, we are confident that we can solve this stubborn problem of Hongcun."

"I would like to ask Village Chief Hong, regarding the redivision of administrative areas, do you hope that Hong Village will be divided into natural villages, or do you consider some other factors?"

"you!"

Hong Chengli gritted his teeth and his face turned very ugly.

Liu Fusheng, this bastard, is unyielding and only attacks my weak spots!

The biggest reason why the Hong family has become one of the most prestigious clans in Chaojiang area is that they have a large population and outsiders dare not provoke them easily!

Not to mention ordinary social groups and clans, even the vast majority of local leaders are unwilling to provoke the behemoth Hongcun.

If the village is divided into more than a dozen parts, the advantage of numbers will disappear.

As for the Xie family, they maintain a good relationship with Hong Village, which is more like an insurance policy. Only when they provoke powerful figures, will the Xie family be able to step forward and help the Hong family keep a glimmer of hope.

After all, the Xie family is just a bluff, and the real hard power still comes from the clan members.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Hong Chengli said dejectedly: "Secretary Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Liu Fusheng nodded and said, "Okay, Village Chief Hong is very sensible. In fact, when I arrived in Chaojiang, I didn't consider you as the first person to be dealt with. The reason why there was unpleasantness between you and me was entirely because you repeatedly obstructed the government agencies from investigating and collecting evidence on the arson case in Jiangtou City."

"I understand your thoughts. You think that as long as the Hong family has nothing to do with the arson case, Hong Village will not come into the national sight, and your clan can continue to prosper and develop."

"I can only say that your idea is too naive."

"You know that arson is a crime, but you don't know that setting up a private court, abusing lynching, using the so-called clan rules to deal with villagers, and forcing villagers to make sacrifices for the clan are also crimes."

"Also, Hong Village has a large population, and the composition of its people is extremely complex. Many people have made their fortunes through smuggling. Won't the country handle these things?"

"I can tell you clearly that since the country has sent me, Liu Fusheng, to Chaojiang City to serve as the city party secretary, I will thoroughly investigate everything that has happened in Chaojiang City that is detrimental to the country and the people!"
