Chapter 8: Funeral of Dongshe (This chapter is free)

Dongshe is a county below Haizhou City. It is located in the northeast corner of Haizhou, only fifty kilometers away from Haizhou City. In 1994, the provincial channel between Dongshe and Haizhou had not been built. It took more than an hour to get to Dongshe County.

The cousin Zhang Zhiwei is the deputy director of the Foreign Economic Bureau of Dongshe County. He is very clear about the city's current situation. Before his father rushed back to his hometown to attend the funeral for his uncle, relatives in his hometown knew about Tang Xueqian being quarantined and investigated.

Zhang Ke can still remember the situation when he returned to his hometown and thought to himself: If there is no accident, this situation will happen again soon, right?

From the small road that surrounded the cornfields, you can see the old house in Shuiyuanzi. Except for the three old houses under my father's name for grandma to live in, the other uncles and uncles have rebuilt small buildings on the original homestead. On the southernmost side of the abbey is the three-story building of the cousin Zhang Zhiwei. The awning built with a rainproof cloth is on the cement site in front of the building. The man passed away and the funeral was held on the third day. The Taoist monks were invited to do rituals. It started the next day. A group of monks wearing cassocks were sitting on the platform in the awning to beat gongs and drums, surrounding many people, which was no different from the scene in their memory.

Zhang Ke and his father stood outside the apron, and many people saw it in the awning. His cousin Zhang Yi shouted in surprise: "Uncle, Xiao Ke, why are you here today..." He got up and was about to run over, and pulled his old man Zhang Zhiwei, but his uncle Zhang Zhifei ran out, took the paper bag of changing clothes from his father's hand, and led Zhang Zhixing and Zhang Ke into the awning.

"I just called yesterday and thought you would arrive tomorrow..." Uncle Zhang Zhiwei sat peacefully, pretending to be unexpected and saw his father, "Zhixing is the leader of the city. When did he be so free?"

According to the funeral customs in Haizhou, the funeral will be held on the third day of death. Usually relatives and friends will attend the funeral on the day of the funeral. In Zhang Ke's memory, my father will look embarrassed when he heard this sarcastic words from his cousin, but at this moment, my father just smiled faintly: "There is nothing important in the city. I haven't returned to the old house for a long time. I have to wait for my uncle's first seven to go back to the city..."

Zhang Zhiwei just snorted softly and turned to another place. His cousin Zhang Yi looked awkward and wanted to comfort him, but he was forced to speak in a few words, but he was forced to do so by the majesty of his father Zhang Zhiwei. Uncle Zhang Zhifei laughed and relieved the cold: "Auntie went to Zhao Hanming's house to borrow the round table for tomorrow's meal. I don't know if you and Xiaoke are back today. Seeing that you are all sweaty, you went to my house to blow up the air conditioner. I will stay at my house tonight. I just finished renovating and specially prepared a room. I wonder when my brother will come back and can't sleep in the old house..." But no one said anything.

Zhang Ke looked at the scene that was repeated coldly, as if acting. If it were him, his father returned to his hometown and was surrounded by outsiders to talk. Dad stood, and his cousin Zhang Zhiwei would never sit and talk. Even if his father didn't mind, he would still say, "The second brother is the leader of the city. How can you stand? I sit?" He wished he could not meet him at this time. However, his uncle Zhang Zhifei grew up with his father since childhood, and he admired his father's character and knowledge very much. Even in another time and space, after his father lost power, his uncle Zhang Zhifei did not neglect the exchanges between the two families.

The small building of my uncle Zhang Zhifei's family is in the second building in the Yuanzi. He graduated from a technical secondary school in his early years and joined the Dongshe County Construction Company. When his father entered the city, he formed a team by himself. He started Jetta in 1994 and was considered a successful person in Dongshe County.

Zhang Ke and his father followed his uncle Zhang Zhifei to the guest room on the second floor. He watched his uncle Zhang Zhifei take out the clothes from the paper bag and put them into the closet. The uncle was tidying up his clothes, but turned his head to him and said, "Zhang Ke, Xiaomei is watching the video upstairs, go and play with her..."

Zhang Ke smiled, and sat on the bed, and said with a smile: "What do you have to do with my dad? Do you still need to avoid me?"

"You boy!" Zhang Ke saw his uncle reaching out to pull his ears, so he quickly dodged away. He must have thought he was still an ignorant boy.

"It's okay, Xiao Ke has a sense of responsibility..." Dad stood there and said quietly, "He knows everything happening now."

"Oh..." Zhang Ke saw that his uncle did not hide the surprise on his face and heard him say, "We have heard of Mayor Tang's affairs. Generally speaking, once the quarantine is reviewed, there should be substantial evidence on it. Second brother, do you think Mayor Tang's affairs have a turnaround?"

"Didn't you say it? There may be no turning point." Dad didn't tell the truth. If you can't find someone who really helps him in this kind of thing. The more people know, the more dangerous it will be.

"Second brother, Deputy Secretary Lu has had dinner with me several times, and may still remember how I look. I don't think you have to wait until my first seventh is over. Do you think I'll accompany you to Deputy Secretary Lu's house..."

"If Lu Yiguang had long regarded me as a traitor in his heart, the relationship you had finally gotten into with him might have been ruined..."

"What does it matter? After all, I don't live in the officialdom. Sometimes I can let go a little... If my second brother agrees, we will go today and I will prepare the things for you."

This was a conversation that Zhang Ke didn't know. Unexpectedly, my uncle was so enthusiastic, but my father could really do the job of changing to the mountain gate at this time, and he would not have to go back to his hometown. Of course, in another time and space, the main reason why my father squeezed out of the municipal government was not this. Everyone else admitted that he had given gifts to Tang Xueqian and was willing to receive criticism and education from the organization. Only when his father returned to Haizhou for investigation by the provincial inspection team insisted on claiming that he had a favor with Tang Xueqian. He gave gifts to Tang Xueqian and accepted gifts from Tang Xueqian. In this way, who can tolerate him from the municipal government? His father was too tough and refused to surrender himself. Although he had the ability, he did not have a strong backstage and it was difficult to survive in the officialdom.

Zhang Ke looked at his father's reaction in silence. It was rare for his uncle to say this without getting any news.

Zhang Zhixing was silent for a while, took two steps forward, pressed his cousin Zhang Zhifei's shoulder heavily, and said, "Zhifei, things are not as simple as rumors. If you really want to help me, can you temporarily put down your company's affairs and help me run for a few days..."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhifei asked a little, "I only have two projects in my hands now, and it doesn't matter if I ignore them for ten days and half a month."

"You often run in Haizhou and Dongshe, and you should be very clear about Haizhou. Xinfeng Group has had many problems. Before Tang Xueqian presided over the restructuring, the city sent several inspection teams to Xinfeng Group, but nothing could be found. Tang Xueqian is not a fool. He is the executive vice mayor for a day or two. He wants to make money, but he will not make money in the muddy water of Xinfeng Group. Do you understand this truth?" Zhang Ke heard this, don't worry anymore. It seems that after the layer of paper between Ding Xiangshan and Xu Si was pierced, his father had already thought of the key point. He only saw his uncle Zhang Zhifei with bright eyes, "I am so close to Tang Xueqian, I don't realize anything. It's strange that he accepted Jiang Mingcheng's bribes?"

"But..." Zhang Zhifei couldn't accept it for a while after hearing his cousin's analysis.

"Are you trying to say that there is a rumor outside that Tang Xueqian has a mistress working in Xinfeng Group?" Zhang Zhixing took out the photo she hid in her body. The first photo was a photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si. "The woman is rumored outside now?" Zhang Zhixing Shuang spread the three photos below on the desk. "Look at these three photos. Just yesterday, this woman met Ding Xiangshan in a villa in the north mountain of Xiangshan. The person who leaned into the car and was still outside was Ding Xiangshan. This red flower crown was the car that Xinfeng Group matched for this woman..."

"How did you take this photo?" Zhang Zhifei was surprised and happy, and picked up the photos to identify them one by one. "Outside everyone said that Jiang Mingcheng gave the money to Tang Xueqian through this woman. It seems that there is something else mysterious! How did he take this photo?"

"The photos were all taken by Xiao Ke, and no one else knows except your sister-in-law."

"You kid..." Zhang Ke's shoulder suddenly grabbed Zhang Zhifei's uncle Zhang, almost suspected that he was deliberately pinching himself, "How did you kid, you want to take this photo?"

Zhang Zhifei was a construction engineer and had a lot of strength in his hands. Zhang Ke shook his shoulders a few times, but he didn't struggle.

"It's shameful to say that after Tang Xueqian was quarantined, I was also panicked. Without Xiao Ke taking these photos, I couldn't figure out the relationship between the front and back," Zhang Zhixing explained to his son. "By chance, Xiao Ke had seen Ding Xiangshan with this woman before. We were panicked. He wanted to figure out the relationship between the front and back. After waiting in front of this villa for a day, he took these three photos," Zhang Zhixing picked up the photo of Tang Xueqian and Xu Si, "This photo was stolen by Xiao Ke from this woman, and she still had several similar photos in her hand..."

"You guy, okay, you can accomplish great things!"

Zhang Ke patted his uncle Zhang Zhifei again on his shoulder. He was half short and grinned and said, "Why are you praising me? Take the opportunity to hit me?"

"Haha..." Zhang Zhifei smiled and asked Zhang Zhixing again, "I can't understand one thing, why is Ding Xiangshan, Ding Xiangshan is the local emperor of Haizhou. He wants to punish Tang Xueqian, and what method is not good, it must be so extreme..."

"I haven't figured this out yesterday, but I'm a little surprised today," Zhang Zhixing picked up the photo of Ding Xiangshan's short body crawling into the Nissan car. "I want to say that there is no problem with Xinfeng Group, do you believe it?" Seeing Zhang Zhifei shook his head, he continued, "Yes, many people don't believe it, but why can't the city find any problems after several inspection teams?" He put the photo of Ding Xiangshan's short body crawling into the Nissan car on the table, and raised his middle finger and knocked it hard on Ding Xiangshan's body. "If the problem of Xinfeng Group is related to Ding Xiangshan, then everything will be easy to explain."

"..." Zhang Zhifei opened his mouth and was so surprised that he forgot to close it.

"Tang Xueqian presided over the restructuring of Xinfeng Group, which will definitely touch on the deep-seated problems of Xinfeng Group. It is likely that some problems have been dug out, but Ding Xiangshan has not yet involved, but Ding Xiangshan must stop Tang Xueqian from continuing to dig. I heard that at the meeting of the Municipal Standing Committee, Ding Xiangshan mentioned repeatedly that the problems of Xinfeng Group cannot be found for a long time, so don't bother with them. Ensure the success of the restructuring is the key. You must know that once the restructuring is restructuring, any problems in Xinfeng Group may be covered up. Tang Xueqian once told me that the restructuring must be carried out, but if the remaining problems are not clear, I am sorry to the country, and I am sorry to the thousands of employees of Xinfeng Group..."

Zhang Ke secretly hated that his father had thought through everything and had no chance to play his own way. His father had been immersed in the officialdom for several years, and he had figured out the key points, but he refused to surrender himself.
