Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity
Chapter 1705: Sitting on Wax
Hong Chengli's word is law in Hongcun, and he also founded the Hong Group.
The company's business scope is very wide, and many people are well aware that the main source of income for the Hong Group does not come from their registered restaurants, entertainment, clubs, and various commodity retail businesses, but from smuggling.
What exactly they were smuggling is a secret. Some say that they were suspected of committing crimes such as smuggling arms and trafficking in human beings, but there is a lack of evidence. Over the years, no one has dared to conduct an in-depth investigation into the people of Hongcun.
Hong Chengli has a wide range of influence in Jiangtou City and even in Chaojiang, and his network of contacts is particularly strong. No wonder he dares to openly challenge the newly appointed municipal party secretary.
Seeing Liu Fusheng mention his name and related information, Hong Chengli smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, you are too polite. How dare I, a small village chief, invite Secretary Liu to the village for tea? However, the fact that you can call out my name shows that you have done some research on Chaojiang. This is good sincerity, but I have something else to do today, so I won't accompany you for long. Let's contact each other when we have time."
After saying that, Hong Chengli continued walking towards the car, which made it clear that he did not take the new municipal party secretary seriously.
Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Hong, aren't you curious about what I want to talk to you about?"
"Oh? What did you talk about?" Hong Chengli asked without turning his head.
Liu Fusheng said calmly: "I want to talk to you about the Hong Group's suspected illegal smuggling."
Swish.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
In such hot weather, everyone actually felt a hint of coolness.
This Liu Fusheng really dares to say anything. He just landed in Chaojiang and he actually brought up such a sensitive topic.
And he said this to Hong Chengli, the patriarch of the Hong clan, the largest clan in Jiangtou City.
Is this guy crazy?
As soon as Liu Fusheng said this, even the cadres from the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and Hou Chunyu from the Organization Department of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee were stunned.
Gu Hongcheng and other leaders of the three cities in Chaojiang looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what Liu Fusheng was up to.
Hong Chengli's expression suddenly became extremely cold.
Representatives from all walks of life who were about to leave all stopped and wanted to see what exciting events would happen next.
Hong Chengli turned his head, stared at Liu Fusheng and said, "Secretary Liu, you must provide evidence when you speak. Our country emphasizes rule of law. Even if you are the secretary of the municipal party committee and a state cadre, you cannot accuse others without any basis, slander the Hong Group out of thin air, and damage our reputation."
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "You, the village chief, understand this truth. As the municipal party secretary, how could I not understand it? Do you think I dare to speak nonsense without any evidence?"
Hong Chengli sneered, "Oh? Evidence? Then I would like to ask you, the municipal party secretary who just stepped off the plane and set foot on the land of Chaojiang, to produce evidence and tell us what illegal and disorderly things we have done?"
Hong Chengli and Liu Fusheng started a dispute.
If Liu Fusheng cannot produce conclusive evidence, then today's incident will probably not end well.
On the surface, Hong Chengli is just a village chief, but the power he can mobilize is probably beyond the reach of even the mayor of Jiangtou City.
The situation at the scene was tense, and everyone looked at Liu Fusheng with some regret.
They believed that Hong Chengli had provoked Liu Fusheng just now, making the municipal party secretary lose face, and Liu Fusheng was too young, so he got emotional and lost control, making this bad move.
Using the identity of the municipal party secretary to scare others may be fine, but trying to scare Hong Chengli is like kicking a rock.
Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Hong, I am not talking about you smuggling, but some people in Hong Village are involved in smuggling."
"Who?" Hong Chengli asked word by word.
Liu Fusheng said: "Hong Haotian."
Hong Chengli sneered: "Secretary Liu, you said he committed a crime, where is the evidence? If there is evidence, I will definitely deal with him according to the law."
Liu Fusheng smiled and said, "Village Chief Hong, the country has its own laws. You village cadres do not have the power to enforce the law. If you want to handle it according to the law, you have to hand it over to the public security department. As for the evidence, it will be here soon."
Before Liu Fusheng finished speaking, Zhou Xiaozhe had already walked up to the crowd with several young men and women in police uniforms.
After seeing this group of people, the faces of Gu Hongcheng, Chen Zixing, Zhao Qiuwei and others all became solemn.
Because they knew this group of people, the oldest man among them was the director of the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Public Security, and was also the leader of the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security, Qin Guang, who was cooperating with the special task force of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in the investigation.
After the fire broke out some time ago, Qin Guang and others quickly took over the scene, and naturally their identities were exposed.
During this period, Qin Guang and others stayed in Chaojiang City to investigate the cause of the accident and the suspects in the arson case, and they had to deal with government officials in Chaojiang City.
Gu Hongcheng looked at the target and leaned over to ask, "Team Leader Qin, why are you here?"
Among the young police officers behind Qin Guang were Shen Qingqing and Sun Jing. Their eyes immediately fell on Liu Fusheng.
Liu Fusheng also smiled at them and nodded to Qin Guang.
Qin Guang nodded in response, and then said to Gu Hongcheng and others: "Mayor Gu, Secretary Chen, Secretary Zhao, and all leaders, we have received an invitation from Comrade Liu Fusheng, Secretary of the Chaojiang Municipal Party Committee, to come here to handle some official business."
"Before Secretary Liu Fusheng arrived in Chaojiang, he had already consulted us about the general situation in Chaojiang. We also hope that after Secretary Liu takes office, he can cooperate with the task force and investigate the arson case as soon as possible."
Facing the special task force of the Ministry of Public Security, everyone's expression became serious.
Liu Fusheng said: "Mr. Hong, when I was communicating with Team Leader Qin, I mentioned one thing - the task force found a man named Hong Haotian who was illegally engaged in smuggling activities, but neither the local police nor the comrades of the Ministry of Public Security's task force could enter Hong Village to arrest him. I want to ask, what is the situation?"
"Well..."
Hong Chengli paused for a moment, his mind working rapidly, thinking of ways to deal with the situation.
Liu Fusheng continued, "I want to go to Hong Village for tea just to take Hong Haotian away. If Mr. Hong needs evidence, Team Leader Qin and the others can submit the evidence to you at any time."
The special task force of the Ministry of Public Security said that they wanted to arrest people for investigation, which means they must have sufficient evidence.
In fact, Hong Chengli had also heard about this incident. The younger generations of Hong Village hid in the village and dared not go out. Neither the local police nor the special task force had ever succeeded in coming to the village to pick up people.
Hong Chengli didn’t take this seriously before, but now that he was caught red-handed, he was in a bit of a pickle.
When Hong Chengli was in a dilemma, Jiangtou City Party Committee Secretary Chen Zixing suddenly said, "Secretary Liu just got off the plane. It seems that it is not convenient for him to start work immediately, right?"
"As long as Hong Haotian is still in Hong Village, things will be easy. Mr. Hong Chengli is the village chief of Hong Village. After he returns, he can bring the person out with just one word. There is no need for everyone to worry."
