Liu Lihai leaned against the car and fell asleep. When he woke up, they had arrived at the provincial capital. Xiao Zhou asked Liu Lihai, "Mayor Liu, where do we go next?"
Liu Lihai told Xiao Zhou the address of Fang Yezi's home. He turned around to look at Fang Yezi. She looked better. Liu Lihai said, "Mom, let's eat out before going home, okay?"
"No, I want to take Old Gong back," Fang Yezi said firmly.
Liu Lihai didn't say anything else. He asked Xiao Zhou to drive the car directly into the neighborhood where Fang Yezi's home was. After the car stopped, Fang Yezi got out of the car and said, "Old Gong, we're back. We want to go back to our home. This is the house you bought for your daughter with the money you left behind. This is your home. Tomorrow, I will send you back to your hometown. Tonight, you will go back to our new home with us, okay? "
Fang Yezi was still hugging the black box tightly. As she walked, she repeated, "Old Gong, let's go home, let's go home."
Gong Yue's tears kept falling. Liu Lihai supported her as they walked home and said, "Little Yue, don't be sad anymore. I will ask Xiao Zhou to prepare some food. Let's eat and discuss tomorrow's matter, okay? "
Gong Yue looked at Liu Lihai helplessly and said, "Brother, you can decide these things. I-I don't understand. "
Liu Lihai didn't understand the rules of Lin County, so he called Qi Qiang. As soon as the call went through, Qi Qiang asked, "Is Secretary Gong really dead?"
"Yes." After Liu Lihai replied, he said to Qi Qiang, "Director Qi, we will go back to Lin County tomorrow. We want to bury Secretary Gong in his hometown. Are there any customs in Lin County?"
"Sigh, death is like a lamp going out." Qi Qiang suddenly sighed. He continued, "I see. But, but … "Qi Qiang stuttered.
"Brother Qi, if you have something to say, just say it." Liu Lihai addressed Qi Qiang as Big Brother Qi, which made Qi Qiang excited. He lowered his voice and said, "Secretary Shi has already announced that no one from the government is allowed to attend Secretary Gong's funeral. I'm a little worried now that Secretary Gong has returned to his hometown. Under such circumstances, will the people in the village dare to accept him? Secretary Shi's words must have spread to Gong Village. So, why don't you buy a cemetery in the provincial capital and bury them? "Qi Qiang told Liu Lihai about the situation in Lin County.
"Did Secretary Shi really say that?" Liu Lihai couldn't believe it and asked.
"County Magistrate Liu, Brother Du, we are still brothers, right? You must not betray me in this matter. Don't say that I said it, okay?" Qi Qiang suddenly became extremely nervous. Yeah, Gong Daojin was such a powerful person. Didn't he just disappear like that? If Shi Zhilin could trample Gong Daojin under his feet, how many people would dare to oppose him now?
"I understand. Thank you, Big Brother Qi. "Liu Lihai hung up the phone, but Gong Yue was staring at him.
"Is there something else?" Gong Yue asked.
"No, nothing." Liu Lihai took the phone and walked out of the door. After a few steps, he realized that something was wrong and quickly said, "I'll go and get some food for Xiao Zhou."
Liu Lihai almost ran out of Gong Yue's house. He never thought that Gong Daojin's death would be so tragic. He never thought that Shi Zhilin would not even let a dead person go.
Liu Lihai was very angry. He took out his phone and called Shi Zhilin. As soon as the phone was connected, Shi Zhilin spoke first, "I heard that County Magistrate Liu made a good deal. As expected of a young man, your business skills are very flexible."
"Are you still f * cking human?" Liu Lihai finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Liu Lihai, clean your mouth. Who do you think you are? Are you qualified to scold me?" Shi Zhilin roared at the other end of the phone.
After the two sides scolded each other, Liu Lihai said, "You are not Secretary Gong. You will never be like him." After that, he hung up the phone.
Liu Lihai went downstairs. He wanted to ask Xiao Zhou what happened in Lin County. After going downstairs, Xiao Zhou was still sitting in the car. Liu Lihai walked over. Xiao Zhou came over and asked, "County Magistrate Liu, are we going back to Lin County tonight?"
"Xiao Zhou, tell me everything about the county." Liu Lihai looked directly at Xiao Zhou.
"This …" Xiao Zhou was also stunned. He didn't expect Liu Lihai to suddenly ask this question.
"Tell me, if we go back to Lin County tomorrow, will the people in the village stop Secretary Gong's funeral?" Liu Lihai asked Xiao Zhou directly.
"Logically speaking, when Secretary Gong was alive, he gave a lot of care to Gong Village. They shouldn't stop Secretary Gong's funeral. However, I heard from Secretary Shi's driver that whoever wants to attend Secretary Gong's funeral will be at odds with Secretary Shi." Ever since Liu Lihai helped him last time, Xiao Zhou had been loyal to Liu Lihai.
"Why don't you call the secretary of Gong Village and ask?" Xiao Zhou gave Liu Lihai a suggestion.
"Okay. Let's go and order some food. "Then, Liu Lihai got into Xiao Zhou's car. He didn't call the secretary of Gong Village immediately. Instead, he called Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan was probably in the General's Mansion. He asked in a business-like tone, "Xiao Liu, what's up?"
"Minister." Liu Lihai also followed Yao Haidong's way of addressing Leng Hongyan.
"Let's talk about something. I have something to do with Old Master Ji later." It was obviously inconvenient for Leng Hongyan, but Liu Lihai did have something to do, so he told Leng Hongyan everything he had just experienced. However, he didn't tell him that he scolded Shi Zhilin.
"Is there such a thing?" Leng Hongyan asked uncertainly.
"Yes. I scolded Shi Zhilin's mother. "Liu Lihai had to tell him that he scolded Shi Zhilin.
"You, you're always impulsive. However, if he had scolded them, then so be it. I got it. Tell Haidong that tomorrow's funeral not only needs to be held, but it needs to be grand as well. I'll let Shi Zhilin attend it in person. Don't worry. "Leng Hongyan hung up the phone.
Liu Lihai was stunned. Leng Hongyan was going to use the power of Old Master Ji again? He called Yao Haidong and repeated what he had said to Leng Hongyan. Yao Haidong had returned to Jingjiang. There was indeed a meeting in Jingjiang, but it was not tomorrow. It was the day after tomorrow. Yao Haidong didn't care. After reporting to Secretary Wu Haotian, he went to the conference center to wait for orders.
Now that Liu Lihai called and said such a thing, Yao Haidong had to face it. Yes, death was the most important thing. This was not only the custom of Lin County, but also the custom of the whole Jingjiang. Especially when people were old, who didn't want to return to their roots and be buried in the village where they were born and raised?
After Liu Lihai told the story, Yao Haidong said, "Well, I'll ask Secretary Wu Haotian. Secretary Gong worked his way up from the bottom. We can't say that he didn't even give him a place to be buried after he died."
"The minister said that she will let Secretary Shi attend the funeral in person." Liu Lihai was still touched by Yao Haidong's action at this time. At least he didn't ignore this matter.
"I know. I'll discuss it with the minister. You prepare according to the local customs of Lin County. "Yao Haidong said and hung up. However, he immediately called Leng Hongyan. Leng Hongyan told the story to Old Master Ji. At this time, Old Master Ji suddenly stood up, slammed the table and said, "Old Master Gong risked his life for the cause of liberation. He can't just let his Gong family's bloodline be trampled on like this, right? What are they trying to do? The country was fought for by Old Master Gong. How could they be so smug just because they were given a mouthful of rice? If they want to trample on Old Master Gong's nephew, it's not like they can't trample on him. What a bunch of dog slaves. "
Leng Hongyan quickly patted Old Master Ji's chest and said, "Brother Yunhe, don't be agitated, don't be agitated. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said so much. I also think that Gong Daojin's second uncle also died on the battlefield. His own father, I heard that because he refused to tell the hiding place of Old Master Gong, was killed by the government. His family is the first generation of the red generation. We can't just send them to the 18th level of hell after they die, right? "
"Yanyan, you handle this matter. Not only do you want to bury the Gong family's bloodline, but also make it grand and dignified. If you don't have money, bring me my salary list. I'll bear the expenses. "Old Master Ji was a soldier after all. He couldn't stand to have sand in his eyes.
"Brother Yunhe, I'm really touched. You're really too good to me. Go and have a rest. We have to go out to meet some guests later. I'll take care of this matter. "Leng Hongyan was touched and kissed Ji Yunhe's cheek.
Leng Hongyan had just comforted Old Master Ji when Yao Haidong called. She knew it was about this matter again. She told Old Master Ji's words to Yao Haidong. When Yao Haidong heard it, he was very surprised and immediately understood. No matter what, the Gong family was the first generation of the red generation. Even if they had committed a crime, their family background was there. The country was handed over to the second generation of the red generation. The family members of the first generation were also stronger than a thin camel. How could it be as simple as a lamp going out? Shi Zhilin, Shi Zhilin, was going to be unlucky this time. He dared to challenge the bottom line of the red generation. Not only would Old Master Ji be angry, but if Old Master Gong's subordinates knew that the Gong family's bloodline was not only beaten to death, but also not allowed to be buried in their hometown after death, even if it was not Shi Zhilin's fault, Secretary Wu Haotian would be in serious trouble.
Yao Haidong said, "Minister, I thank you on behalf of Secretary Gong's family."
"Don't say these words. Call Secretary Wu Haotian personally and convey Old Master Ji's words." Leng Hongyan hung up the phone.
Yao Haidong didn't expect things to turn out like this. He couldn't help but feel excited. Yes, Secretary Wu Haotian didn't treat him as a dish. Look, even Old Master Ji took action.
