Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

At this time He Yuzhu understood that the Mr. Wu in front of him had already surrendered to the evil forces. Even if he spent a lot of effort to persuade him to testify against Wu Bo, facing the crazy revenge of Wu Bo's entire family, he could protect Wu San's family temporarily, but he could not protect them forever.

He was in a dilemma because of this. He was wondering whether he should stand on the side of justice or choose to let the matter go. It was obvious that at this point in time, a head-on confrontation was not a good option.

Wu San, who was standing by, saw that He Yuzhu was silent, and immediately expressed his true thoughts.

"Director He, I know you are a good person and a good official, but there are not many officials like you. You should not get involved in my case. I am a low-level citizen. I can only accept it and deserve to be bullied. Just think of it as Wu San's bad luck, offending someone I shouldn't have offended."

Every word Wu San said deeply stimulated He Yuzhu's heart.

Even though He Yuzhu was a time traveler, he felt deeply guilty when faced with Wu San's tragic experience.

He really wanted to help Wu San, but when he saw his determined and hopeless look, he retracted the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Okay, Uncle Wu, I understand what you mean."

Immediately, He Yuzhu left Wu San's yard without looking back.

After returning home, He Yuzhu fell into deep thought. Wu San's words were on his mind for a long time. He couldn't help but think of his original intention of joining the army and going into politics.

He participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea on the one hand to serve his motherland and fight against U.S. imperialism, and on the other hand he also had the idea of ​​changing his life.

Now that he has achieved success and become the executive deputy county magistrate and director of the county public security bureau of Guangdian County, his only thought is to serve the people.

Now as a local official in charge of public security, he feels deeply moved when he sees the people in his jurisdiction suffering unjust treatment.

That night, He Yuzhu couldn't sleep. He didn't sleep the whole night, and his mind was full of thoughts about Wu San's family.

You know, attacking the US imperialists did not pose a problem for him, arresting enemy spies did not pose a problem for him, and eradicating bandits did not pose a problem for him, but now he is stumped by the local evil forces.

...............................

The next morning, He Yuzhu rode his 28-inch bicycle to the city. He decided to seek help from his future father-in-law, Hao Jinlong.

He Yuzhu came to the mayor's office and knocked on the door.

“Knock…knock…”

Mayor Hao Jinlong's voice came from inside the room.

"Please come in..."

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked in.

Hao Jinlong, who was working in the office, was surprised to see He Yuzhu, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose face looked tired, coming to visit him.

He immediately asked,

"Zhu Zi, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

He Yuzhu heard this and didn't say anything polite. He got straight to the point and explained his purpose.

"Dad, this is what I came to you for today because I want to discuss Wu Bo's case with you."

Hao Jinlong was quite surprised to hear what He Yuzhu said, and asked him again,

"Well, how else can this be handled? Didn't I tell you before that you should handle it as you should, and do everything according to the legal provisions.

Besides, it seems inappropriate for you to come to me to discuss this instead of consulting the local court.”

He Yuzhu certainly understood what Hao Jinlong meant. According to regulations, this case must be brought to the local court. However, given the current situation He Yuzhu was facing, if he didn't find Hao Jinlong, he didn't know what to do.

Hao Jinlong seemed to realize that He Yuzhu looked a little strange, and immediately continued to ask: "Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? I feel that you are acting strange today. Do you have any unspeakable secrets, or have you encountered any problems? If you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will help you."

When He Yuzhu saw Hao Jinlong's attitude, he immediately expressed his own thoughts.

"Dad, it's like this. Regarding Wu Bo's case, the other party was one step ahead and dealt with the key witnesses in the case first and made them change their statements. This means that this case can't continue. Originally this was a vicious intentional homicide case, but now it has become a headless case. We can't give it a definition, let alone bring the person involved, Wu Bo, to justice.

I have also privately contacted the victim, and he has decided to keep quiet because the victim's family has been threatened and intimidated by the forces behind Wu Bo."

After listening to He Yuzhu's confession, Hao Jinlong suddenly realized that he could understand He Yuzhu's thoughts very well.

After all, he, like He Yuzhu, was once a soldier and a people's hero on the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It is normal for him to feel a little hesitant when facing these unhealthy tendencies and some shady activities.

Hao Jinlong pondered for a while and then came up with an idea. He immediately started to give instructions to He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, since you came to see me today, I will explain it to you in detail.

First of all, I want to make it clear what you are thinking now. Do you really want to uphold justice for Wu San, or do you choose to protect yourself and work safely as the director of your county public security bureau?

This must be made clear. It is related to your attitude towards this matter. If you haven’t figured it out, I can’t help you.”

Facing Hao Jinlong's question, He Yuzhu did not hesitate at all and answered him directly and decisively,

"Dad, I want to seek justice for this Wu San. I want to uphold justice.

Although I know that it would be easier to put this case aside for a year or two, I feel that justice delayed is no justice at all.

Since I am the Public Security Bureau chief of Guangdian County, responsible for local public security, and I am also their parent official, I have the responsibility and obligation to help them get justice.

Aren’t the people looking for fairness and justice? If I can’t even do that, then why am I an official? What do you think?”

When Hao Jinlong heard what He Yuzhu said, he couldn't help but show an approving look and clapped his hands.

"Pah...Pah...Pah...Zhuzi, you are worthy of being my son-in-law. I was right about you.

But then again, your strong sense of justice is both your strength and your weakness. Being too upright can easily cause you to fall into trouble in the big dye vat of officialdom.

But if your heart is not upright, even if you hold a high position in the future, you will definitely be a corrupt official who eats the blood of others. Since you choose to do practical things for the people, I will help you to think about it carefully. "
