The villa in Chen Mengqi's family, located in Taohuaao in the eastern suburbs of Xinleng County, used to be one of the most upscale villas in Xinleng.

Three years ago, when Chen Yuanqiao had a premonition that something might happen to Jinqiao Group, in order to leave a place for his daughter, he and Gong Zhichao thought of a way together: "sell" the villa in Taohuaao for 3 million yuan to Fu Mengzi's sister Su Dongmei, and immediately went through the transfer procedures. In this way, even if something happens to Jinqiao Group in the future, this villa will not be seized or confiscated as the property of the Chen family because it has already been "sold......

Because Su Dongmei has been working in the south, Gong Zhichao arranged for a subordinate named Li Binghua to live in this villa and protect the valuable furniture and other property in the villa.

Chen Yuanqiao and Gong Zhichao did not hide this matter from Ye Ming, but they did not tell Chen Mengqi so as not to worry her. At that time, Chen Yuanqiao also begged Ye Ming: Once he and Gong Zhichao had an accident, ask him to tell Qiqi the truth about the villa, so that she could find Fu Mengzi and his sister at that time, sell the villa together, and use the money from the sale of the villa to start a new life......

Ye Ming came to Taohuaao first today, just to come to see the situation, and also wanted to inquire about the news of Fu Mengzi, Mao Lizi, Dwarf Winter Melon and others from Li Binghua, and then ask them if there was any news of Chen Mengqi.

Li Binghua is the elder brother of Gong Zhichao's subordinates who is second only to Fu Mengzi and other "Four King Kongs", and he is also very familiar with Ye Ming, so after Ye Ming parked the car outside the villa, he saw that it was brightly lit inside, so he got out of the car and walked to the door of the villa, stretched out his hand and rang the doorbell of the gate.

The iron door soon opened, and a shirtless young man appeared behind the door, taking advantage of the street lights outside, he looked Ye Ming up and down a few times, and asked in a rough voice, "Which one are you looking for?" How come I don't know you? ”

Ye Ming thought he was Li Binghua's new subordinate, so he said, "What about Li Binghua?" You let him come out to me! ”

Because he heard the noise in the living room on the first floor of the villa, mixed with the sound of shouting and drinking, Ye Ming estimated that Li Binghua and others were gambling, and with his current identity, it was not easy to get in, so he called him out to the person who was going to open the door.

The young man listened to his loud tone, looked at him again in a little surprise, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you looking for Brother Hua for? He doesn't live here now, he has bought another house in Phoenix Villa, you can go there and find him! By the way, listening to your accent, it seems to be Xinleng, and you know Brother Hua, don't you know that this villa is now Brother Wei's? Why did you still come here to find Brother Hua? ”

Ye Ming was taken aback, stared at this young man with round eyes, and was stunned for a while before asking, "Who is Brother Wei?" Isn't this villa Fu Mengzi's sister Su Dongmei's? When did you become Brother Wei? ”

When the young man heard him mention Fu Mengzi, he glared at him very vigilantly and asked, "What is your relationship with Fu Mengzi?" Since you know Fu Mengzi, why don't you go to him and ask him about the situation? Let me tell you: If you are Fu Mengzi's younger brother, it is best not to come here, if Brother Wei finds out, he will break your legs. Let's go! ”

With that, he took a step back and slammed the big iron door shut.

Ye Ming wanted to knock on the door again to ask about the situation, but after thinking about it, he held back, and decided to find a place to live first, and when he went to the cemetery of Brother Chao tomorrow to pay respects, he would definitely meet Fu Mengzi and others, and then ask them about the inside story.

So, he drove back to the city and found a random hotel to stay in for the night.

Because of his current identity, as a county party secretary, if he goes to pay tribute to a criminal who was shot and spreads it out after being known, it will not have a good impact after all.

Therefore, at about six o'clock the next morning, Ye Ming set off from the hotel, drove for 40 minutes, and rushed to Xiqiao Town, Xinleng County, and bought a handful of incense, two piles of money, a few candles, two firecrackers, and a few small dishes for sacrifice in a shop specializing in wreaths, longevity clothes, incense, candles, paper money, and firecrackers in the town, and then went to the fruit shop next to him to buy a little fruit, and then drove straight to Chenjiaao Village along a village-level road.

Chen Yuanqiao's cemetery, he has been to it twice: last year and the year before the Qingming Festival, because considering that Chen Mengqi's family was far away in Australia, and Gong Zhichao was in prison at the time, no one swept Chen Yuanqiao's tomb, so two years ago, he took advantage of the opportunity of Qingming to return to Xinleng to sweep his mother's tomb, and quietly rushed to Chenjiaao Village and swept Chen Yuanqiao's tomb, but Secretary Lu did not know.

During this year's Qingming Festival, Ye Ming was participating in the pre-appointment training of the new county party secretary at the Central Party School, and he didn't have time to go back, so he asked Xia Chuchu to go back to Xinleng County as a daughter-in-law and sweep his mother's grave, but Chen Yuanqiao didn't go there......

Because he had been here twice, Ye Ming was very familiar with Chen Yuanqiao's cemetery, and after driving the car to the entrance of Chenjiaao Village, he turned right into an unhardened dirt road, and walked along the winding and potholed dirt road for about a kilometer, which was a small hillside. Chen Yuanqiao's grave is halfway up the hill.

This small hillside is also the location of the ancestral grave of the villager surnamed Chen in Chenjiaao. The hillside is densely packed with graves and tombstones, and many of the graves are also inserted with branches used to hang dead money when the villagers sweep the tombs during the Qingming Festival, and colorful dead money remains on the branches.

Ye Ming drove the car to the opposite side of the hillside and stopped, then wore a pair of big sunglasses and carried a bag of memorial supplies to get out of the car, walked through a lawn under the hillside, and was about to go uphill, when he suddenly found that about 300 meters west of the lawn, I don't know who had built three simple bungalows with red bricks. As far as the eye could see, the three wooden doors of the bungalow were tightly closed, and there was no sound at all, and I wondered if there were people inside.

Ye Ming was a little surprised in his heart: the whole place is a tomb mountain, there are no people, no land, and it is far away from the Chen family's compound, who built the three bungalows here? What is Xiu doing here?

However, he didn't think much about it, climbed halfway up the mountain with the sacrificial bag, first found Chen Yuanqiao's grave, and then looked to the side, sure enough, there was a new grave with a tombstone.

Ye Ming bent down and looked at the tombstone, which read "The Tomb of the Righteous Gong Zhichao", and there was a line of small characters below, which read "Righteous Brother Su Fuchu, Mao Lihua, Li Dongsheng and others weeping".

Ye Ming knew: Su Fuchu, Mao Lihua, and Li Dongsheng are the real names of Fu Mengzi, Mao Lizi, and Dwarf Winter Melon, and the future affairs of Brother Chao should be handled by the three of them, and the tombstone was also erected by them.

Ye Ming stared at the tombstone with both eyes, thinking of Brother Chao's care and help to him before, remembering the words in his suicide note telling him to take good care of Qiqi and help Fu Mengzi and others to follow the right path, he only felt that his heart was sore, his eyes were red, and tears the size of beans rolled down his cheeks.

At this moment, Ye Ming heard the roar of the car motor from the opposite side, turned his head to look, and saw a van coming from the entrance of the village and stopping behind his Toyota Camry car. The two young men got out of the car, looked around his Toyota for a while, and then turned and walked up the hill.
