Chapter 2 Fifth Uncle, He Lihong
When night falls, the lights come on.
Bashan City is an ordinary prefecture-level city in the interior, located in the southwest corner of Qinchuan Province, and is connected to Shuxi Province.
In January, it was winter, and the weather was very cold.
He Dong took a cold bath, the cold water cut across his skin, stimulated his nerves, made him shiver, he could finally be sure of one thing, he was really reborn.
From a decadent youth of 27 years old, back to 18 years old, from 2015 to 2006, inexplicably back to the year when his father and brother were not dead.
He didn't care what the reason, he just knew that if God gave him a chance, then he must cherish it.
The tragedy of the He family must not be repeated.
It was really cold in Bashan in January, and after He Shan had eaten and bathed, he put on a down jacket, and then took out all his pocket money from the small drawer and put it all in the pocket of the down jacket.
Scattered and scattered, the largest one is twenty yuan, and all of them add up to more than three hundred yuan.
He is just eighteen years old, although his father is the head of Taishan District, a department-level cadre with real power, his family is good in Bashan City, but he is relatively honest, and now he has an exaggerated personality, he likes to compare and rebel, and his monthly pocket money is basically moonlight.
This money was still last month, and his sister-in-law Xu Yan saw that he was pitiful, so she gave it to him from his eldest brother He Nan's private money.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go out!"
He Dong walked out and said hello to his sister-in-law Xu Yan in the hall.
"Dongzi, now that it's dark, where are you going?"
Xu Yan had just served her mother-in-law Yu Xiu to take medicine and let her sleep, and now she was holding a small bowl of porridge, patiently feeding He Qing'er's children, when she suddenly heard He Dong's words, raised her head, and glanced at He Dong, who was ready to go, and frowned.
The He family is now at the bottom.
Father-in-law He Lixin has been shuanggui, and now the house of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is still closed, and her husband He Nan is also locked up in the detention center, awaiting trial.
He Dong has a young heart, he has never been serious, and he has an arrogant personality, there was nothing to do with his father-in-law and husband staring at him before, but now, just now his father-in-law and husband have just had an accident, and he doesn't know who beat him.
Xu Yan was afraid that the young and vigorous He Dong would do something at this juncture.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't go out to make trouble, I'll just go to the fifth uncle to see if there is any turn for the better in my father's affairs!"
He Dong replied as he hurriedly walked out.
He put on canvas shoes, pushed open the door directly, and walked out step by step, now he has no time to analyze his sister-in-law, since he is back, he must race against time to find evidence.
He wants to overturn the case, and he wants to change the history of the He family.
It's January 2 now, and in a few days his father will be sentenced, and his eldest brother's charges will be confirmed, and he knows in his heart that his eldest brother and father have been wronged, and he also knows who is behind the destruction of his family.
But it's useless to know, it's important to find evidence.
Now, he's just an 18-year-old boy who needs help him find the evidence.
"This kid won't sneak out again to cause trouble, will he?"
Xu Yan looked at He Dong's back, still a little worried, the little uncle has always been the most ignorant teenager in the family, although he has a good nature, but he has a reckless personality, and he often fights with a group of children in the compound.
He Dong was now thinking about his father's case, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't hear Xu Yan's words.
"Isn't this the kid from the He family?"
"His father and eldest brother have gone in, he is afraid that he will not be able to get up, and he still dares to come out and mess around!"
"I heard that he was beaten up at school today!"
"Be quiet, don't hit people in the face, District Chief He is also a good person, there is no need to fall into the well at this time!"
“……”
When He Dong walked out of the small courtyard of the city government, it was very eye-catching, he knew that many people around him were pointing at him, and the two men of the He family had entered, obviously in big trouble, which was a well-known thing in the entire city government.
There are not many people who send charcoal in the snow, but they can't see the He family's good, there are a lot of people who fall into the well, and there are many people who regret the end of the He family, anyway, they are all a group of people watching the show.
"Boss, get a newspaper!"
"What newspaper?"
"Bashan Daily!"
"A dollar!"
He Dong walked out of the door, looked at a night stall next to him, walked by, gave the boss a dollar, and then took out a copy of the Bashan Daily, and looked at the date on it very clearly - January 2, 2006.
What a stark word.
This date filled He Dong with fighting spirit, since I was reborn, what am I afraid of?
I will definitely be able to change the fate of the He family.
"Master, please go to Holly Road, Shunkang Community, hurry up!" The city government office is in the most prosperous central road in the city center, and now it is more than seven o'clock, and it is very smooth to take a taxi, and He Dong took a newspaper and got into a taxi.
"Young man, you're also watching the news on Taishan Mountain?"
The driver is a middle-aged man, and he is still a familiar talker, he looked at the newspaper version spread out by He Dong, the co-pilot, and said with a smile.
"Hmm!"
He Dong responded, his eyes moved slightly, he pointed to the front page, and said quietly: "I heard that the head of this Taishan District He heard that the reputation is not bad, why is it also shuanggui?" I can't believe anyone who has been an official these days! ”
"Young man, you don't understand, District Chief He is a good official, but it is difficult to be a good official, District Chief He is actually not bad, he has done a lot of things for the people of Taishan, we don't believe that he will be corrupt, but unfortunately, the people he offended!"
"Oh!"
When He Dong heard this, he smiled, his smile had a touch of coldness, and said, "He is the head of the district, the head of the first district, who can he offend?" ”
"Hehe, young man, you don't know, there is a mayor above the mayor." The middle-aged driver said: "It's really good to be in Taishan District, but it's Wei Laohu who he offended!" ”
Wei Laohu, Mayor of Bashan, Wei Long.
The person who covered the sky in Bashan City has gone from a town mayor to the mayor step by step, and belongs to the iconic figure of the local faction of the mayor of Bashan, and has been the mayor for five years.
This person is relatively arrogant in the hearts of the people, and I heard that even Han Yi, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who had just been airborne for less than half a year, was overwhelmed by him.
"Wei Laohu?"
He Dong smiled, didn't talk to the middle-aged driver, and the corners of his mouth outlined a cold arc.
Wei Long, Mayor Wei, Wei Laohu?
Then he will fight the tiger.
He Dong was clear about his father's case and his brother's planting case, and he also knew that this was all planned by Wei Laohu behind his back, wanting to save people, and this was an unattainable mountain he was facing.
It took about 20 minutes to walk from the central road of the municipal government compound to Dongqing Road, and the middle-aged driver parked the car at the door of the Shunkang community: "Young man, twenty-three yuan!" ”
"Thank you, master!"
He Dong took out a twenty-dollar one and a five-dollar one from his pocket and handed it to the driver, and the middle-aged driver asked him for two coins, he took them and got out of the car directly.
Shunkang Community is a relatively high-end community in Bashan City.
He Lixin's cousin, He Lihong lives here.
He Lihong is in the hardware business, and under the care of He Lixin, the second brother of the district mayor of Taishan District, the business is not very successful, but it is quite passable.
He Lixin's He family was born in the northwest corner of Bashan City, the most remote Liyang County, Hejiazhuang.
Hejiazhuang is a rural clan, ninety percent of the people in the village are surnamed He, and every household has a trace of blood relationship.
In the nineties, Hejiazhuang produced a college student He Lixin, who came to the city and became an official, and Hejiazhuang could be regarded as developing.
Rich in the deep mountains, some people know, poor in the street, no one asks, He Lixin was a phoenix man in Hejiazhuang at that time, there were really many people in Hejiazhuang who were unwilling to stay in Hejiazhuang and Liyang County, entered the city, and wanted to take refuge in He Lixin.
However, his father He Lixin has a more upright personality, he can pay attention to the people of Hejiazhuang, as long as he has the ability, he does not despise his own strength, and can help them appropriately, but he will not cross the line for them.
In this way, he offended many people from Hejiazhuang, of course, there were also a few people from the He family who established themselves in the city with his help and started a small business.
However, these relatives who used to come to the door to congratulate them during the New Year's holidays have disappeared without a trace.
Wei Laohu, whom He Lixin offended, the two fathers and sons of the He family went in, and it was difficult to protect themselves, and there were many people who fell into the well, but there were not many people who sent charcoal in the snow.
According to He Dong, He Lihong is estimated to be the only one in the He family who is willing to help.
"Dongzi, you don't stay at home, why are you here?" Building A, Room 201, He Lihong was thinking about how to give gifts, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, he walked out, opened the door, and was a little surprised to see his little nephew He Dong standing in front of the door.
"Fifth uncle!"
He Dong looked at He Lihong, and He Lihong's eyes were swirling with black circles, which had sunken down, and he was obviously a little tired.
He Lixin is an only son, but in the He family, He Lixing is the second, and He Lihong is the fifth.
"You come in first!"
When the He family had an accident, He Lihong has been running around for his second brother He Lixin, but his ability is limited, and although the money has been spent hundreds of thousands, he can't help at all.
"Fifth uncle, I want to ask you for help if I have something!" He Dong was not polite, and strode in directly, and while walking, he also went straight to the point.
"Dongzi, is someone bullying you!"
He Lihong himself is a burly man from a mountain stream, his eyes saw the bruises on He Dong's face, and his anger suddenly came up, and said: "The second brother has not been sentenced yet, and now someone has fallen into the well, and people have not gone so fast, it's really too much, tell uncle, uncle will give you justice!" ”
When He Dong heard this voice, there was a warm current in his heart, and he was still reliable.
"Fifth uncle, I'm fine!"
He Dong sat directly on the soft leather sofa, looked at the cigarette butts on the ashtray, he knew that the fifth uncle was not a person who liked to smoke, this was obviously the fifth uncle was worried about his father's affairs, so he used cigarettes to eliminate his worries.
"What about the aunt and the sixth son?" He Dong glanced around, this is a four-bedroom and two-living room, nearly one hundred and fifty square meters, He Lihong has a son, twelve years old, who always likes to follow He Dong's buttocks.
"I've already sent them back to their hometown!"
He Lihong took out a can of drink from the refrigerator, handed it to He Dong, sat down, lit a cigarette, took a puff, sighed, and said: "I am still trying to dredge up the relationship with your father, I plan to visit Wei Laohu, but my uncle has no less money, so he plans to sell the hardware store and the house to see if he can raise enough three million, I have already contacted Wei Laohu's secretary and gave him 100,000, he revealed to me, Wei Laohu needs 3 million to be willing to open the net!" ”
He is in business, and his savings are only hundreds of thousands, and the housing prices in Bashan City are not high, so it is good for him to buy a house for one million, and with a hardware store, he can make up three million.
When He Dong heard this, his face moved, his two fists couldn't help clenching, his eyes looked at the fifth uncle's boxy face, and there was a touch of wetness in his eyes.
He once heard his father say that when He Lihong walked out of Hejiazhuang, he only had primary school education, based on Bashan, and was a migrant worker on a construction site at the beginning, and his father saw that he was honest and could bear hardships and stand hard work, so he lent him money, and also helped him dredge up the relationship, and opened a hardware store in the prosperous urban area, and then his father did not help him much, and his achievements over the years were made by himself with one hand and one foot.
The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, there are many people who can do it, but there are probably not many in this world who can repay the grace of dripping water and go bankrupt.
In his previous life, He Dong never saw the fifth uncle after his family was broken and died, and later he learned that the fifth uncle sold the shop, sold the house, and returned to his hometown.
He Dong always thought that the fifth uncle should be disheartened, so he took his family property and went to live in his hometown, but he didn't know that the fifth uncle was bankrupt for the He family.
All his net worth was sent out, and it was not easy for him to come to the future.
The long-lost family affection is like a warm current, flowing through He Dong's frozen blood vessels for a long time.
"Fifth uncle, there's no need to raise money, it's useless!"
He Dong took a deep breath, put away his emotions, calmed down, shook his head, and said: "Even if you give the money to Wei Laohu, my father still can't get out, my eldest brother will still be convicted, and when the time comes, you will be bankrupt and lose both your people and money!" ”
"Dongzi, what do you know about the affairs of the official!"
He Lihong didn't care about He Dong's words, this usually rebellious and disobedient teenager was not reliable in his heart.
He Dong has always been the naughty mischievous of the He family, and he came forward to help clean up the trouble several times, so he knows He Dong very well.
"I don't understand the official things!" He Dong knew that it was a little difficult to convince He Lihong, but he had to give it a try, and now he could only rely on this fifth uncle: "But I heard from a classmate that my eldest brother's case has been filed, I'm afraid Wei Laohu will not let go of our father and son this time!" ”
When He Lihong heard this, he smiled, took a big puff of cigarette, spit out thick smoke, and sighed: "The second brother's character is too tough, and he has offended Wei Laohu several times, so he can't get off the stage, Wei Laohu is greedy for money, everyone in Bashan knows that as long as Wei Laohu loosens his mouth, this matter will still turn around, as for me, my money was given by the second brother back then, and if it's gone, it's gone, as long as the second brother can come out!" ”
"Fifth uncle, you're wrong, this matter is not a battle of will!"
He Dong knew that he had no weight in He Lihong's heart, so he couldn't change his decision, but he had to make the fifth uncle feel that he had changed, become mature, and credible.
With a somewhat childish face, he tried to make a trace of seriousness, and released a trace of the inside story he knew: "The reason why Wei Laohu wants to kill his father is not because my father doesn't give him face, but because my father has evidence in his hand that can pull him off the horse!" ”
"Dongzi, what do you mean?" When He Lihong heard this, he was slightly stunned: "You can't talk nonsense!" ”
"Fifth uncle, Futian Steel, do you know?" He Dong asked.
In his previous life, in 2011, Wei Laohu was shuanggui, and during the interrogation, he confessed in one go, and the unjust case of He Lixin, the former mayor of Taishan District, came to light.
This case in 2006 all started when He Lixin wanted to thoroughly investigate the accounts of Futian Iron and Steel, the largest state-owned enterprise in Taishan District.
