Xu Lizhong heard Lu Zhiyao say solemnly, so he straightened his chest and replied loudly: "Understand, chief!" ”

Lu Zhiyao nodded, pointed to the photo he took over, and said: "Lizhong, this is a college classmate of mine, named Zhao Han, from Zijiang County, K City, but I don't know which town and village Lu Dao is from. I haven't seen her in 25 years, and I have something very important to look for now. Be sure to find her before December 2 and find out more about her current situation: where she lives, what she does, who her husband is, how many children she has, and if there are any difficulties at home...... Remember: it's best not to contact her in person during the investigation, but to ask your neighbors or people from the local street or neighborhood committee to find out from the side. As soon as you find out, you will come back and report back to me. Let me emphasize one more point: this must be kept absolutely confidential, including Xiao Guo, and you can't reveal half a point! ”

Xu Lizhong looked at the beautiful girl in the photo carefully, nodded and said, "Chief, don't worry, as long as there is a photo, I will definitely find her within the specified time." ”

Lu Zhiyao shook his head and said, "Lizhong, it's not that simple. The photo you have in your hand was taken more than 20 years ago. At that time, the person in the photo had just turned 20 years old, and she was still a little girl. Now more than 20 years later, she is already a middle-aged woman, and her appearance will change very much. Therefore, I suggest: You should first go to the Zijiang County Public Security Department, show your position as deputy director of the Second Division of the Secretary of the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, and say that you want to know about Zhao Han's specific situation, and ask them to call up her household registration information, so that you can easily find her address and work unit. ”

Xu Lizhong actually thought of this method from the beginning, but after listening to Secretary Lu's suggestion, he still made a sudden realization and said: "It's good, I'll check according to the method instructed by the chief, and it is estimated that the task can be completed in one or two days." ”

After Xu Lizhong left, Lu Zhiyao sank into the leather seat, supported his forehead with his right hand, frowned slightly, and fell into the memories of the past......

Lu Zhiyao is a native of Xijing City, the capital of a northwestern province, and was born in the late fifties of the last century. His father was the head of the Chinese Department at Xijing University and a famous master of Chinese studies. His grandfather was a former Qingju man. Therefore, their family is a typical scholarly family, who respects traditional Chinese literature and etiquette, and follows the Chinese tradition of scholars in many details of life.

For example, although Lu Zhiyao was born in the fifties, his father still named him Lu Yuan according to the old tradition, the word "Zhiyao". On formal occasions, such as sacrifices, genealogies, and readings, use the name of "Lu Zhiyao" in words; On other occasions, he is called "Lu Yuan". Therefore, "Lu Zhiyao" is his official name, and "Lu Yuan" is equivalent to his nickname or nickname.

At the end of the 60s of the last century, due to the political environment at the time, Lu Zhiyao's father was imprisoned in the cowshed for labor reform, and Lu Zhiyao himself was sent to the Northwest Plateau as an educated youth before graduating from high school in the early 70s.

There, he met Gu Huaying, the daughter of his future wife, Gu Shenghao, the former minister of the Central Committee.

At that time, Gu Shenghao was also defeated, and the children in the family were scattered. Gu Huaying chose to go to the Northwest Plateau to join the team as an educated youth.

Gu Huaying and Lu Zhiyao were placed in a brigade, three years older than him, five big and three thick, and their appearance was mediocre, but their personalities were very pungent and pungent, inheriting her old man's fiery temper.

Gu Huaying was sent to that brigade before Lu Zhiyao. When Lu Zhiyao passed, she fell in love with this dignified, courteous, and talented brother at a glance, and after learning that he had not yet found a partner, she launched a fanatical love offensive against him, constantly writing love letters to him, and from time to time to his cave to clean him, pulp and wash clothes, every time she brought something delicious from the capital, she also tried to keep it for Lu Zhiyao, who was not full of food every day.

However, Lu Zhiyao had no feelings for her at all. He has been familiar with Chinese and foreign classics since he was a child, and has his own understanding and pursuit of love. The girlfriend he is looking for is the kind of little jasper with a pure appearance, elegant temperament, and meek and virtuous family, not a noble-born, strong and spicy woman like Gu Huaying. What's more, she is more than three years older than himself, which makes it even more difficult for him to accept.

Therefore, every time he received a love letter from Gu Huaying, he never replied; Gu Huaying wanted to come to do housework and laundry for him, and he tried his best to shirk it; Gu Huaying wanted to give him something to eat, so he shared it with the male intellectuals in the dormitory, anyway, he didn't want to give her any illusions and opportunities.

Gu Huaying also felt his coldness, but she did not flinch or be discouraged, and persevered to continue her pursuit of love.

Once, when Gu Huaying returned to the capital, he learned from his father, who had been reinstated as an official: he and Lu Zhiyao's father, Professor Lu Jiaqi, had been close friends long before the liberation, but after the liberation, one went to the capital and the other stayed in Xijing, so there was very little contact.

When Gu Huaying heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, so she begged her father to write to Lu Jiaqi quickly and propose to him in person.

Gu Shenghao was very fond of his little daughter, whose personality was very similar to his own, so he wrote a letter to Professor Lu Jiaqi, who had been liberated from the cowshed, according to her request, first talked about his old friendship and friendship, and then asked him euphemistically: The little girl Gu Huaying and the noble son Lu Zhiyao cut the queue in a brigade, and the two young people are very compatible, can they form a good alliance between Qin and Jin?

Lu Jiaqi has always admired Gu Shenghao very much, and he also knows that his family education is very strict, and he believes that his daughter will not be bad, so he quickly replied and happily agreed to Gu Shenghao's request for marriage.

At the same time, Lu Jiaqi also wrote a letter to Lu Zhiyao, telling him: He has booked a marriage for him, that is, Gu Huaying, the daughter of Gu Shenghao, the head of a certain central department, and the girl is now in a brigade with you......

The Lu family is a typical family of poetry and books, and the most important thing is filial piety and etiquette. And one of the points in filial piety is that we must obey the orders of our parents in the matter of marriage, and we cannot rely on the temperament of young people.

Lu Zhiyao also knows this. However, he really couldn't have any affection for Gu Huaying, on the contrary, he still had an instinctive dislike and disgust for her, feeling that if he married such a wife, although it might help his future career and future, it would definitely be a tragedy in terms of love and family.

So, he had the courage to write a letter to his father, hoping that he would change his original intention and not force himself to fall in love with Gu Huaying.

However, his father quickly replied, reprimanding him and threatening that if he did not marry the daughter of the Gu family according to his wishes, he would never return home to see him again.
