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

After a two-hour drive, He Yuzhu and his group finally arrived at Wujia Village under Jieyang County.

This time, apart from the three of them, they did not bring any other entourage. In fact, in today's society, when public officials go out, especially deputy-department-level cadres like He Yuzhu, they must at least bring a few militiamen or police officers with them to ensure their personal safety to the greatest extent.

But he doesn't have many people he can trust. Besides, he is now a master of Bajiquan, and ordinary people are no match for him. This is also a kind of confidence he has in his own strength.

When they arrived at the entrance of Wujia Village, all the villagers gathered around them. You know, it was the first time for many of them to see a car.

Some villagers even couldn't help but go up and touch the car's paint to feel the touch of this "iron turtle".

After the car stopped, He Yuzhu and others got out.

When the villagers saw Wu Xihao getting out of the car, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brother Hao, Ah Hao, why are you here too?"

In response to the villagers' questions, Wu Xihao immediately explained:

"Dear fellow villagers, this is our new Shantou City Party Committee Secretary, He Yuzhu, Secretary He.

I am accompanying him to do a field survey in Wujia Village this time, so please make way for me."

When the villagers of Wujia Village heard what Wu Xihao said, they all tactfully gave way and looked carefully at He Yuzhu who got off the car next.

When they saw that the municipal party secretary was so young, they all showed surprised expressions. Especially when facing him, they felt that he was particularly majestic and close. They could tell at a glance that he was an old leader.

I don't know who shouted, "Welcome Secretary He."

Everyone began to shout in unison.

He Yuzhu saw this and waved his hand.

"Dear fellow villagers of Wujia Village, I am here to conduct a field survey in your village. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please keep it confidential and do not disclose my whereabouts."

When the villagers of Wujia Village heard what He Yuzhu said, they all nodded and said they would do as he said.

When Wu Xihao saw that he had almost finished greeting, he looked directly at He Yuzhu.

"Secretary He, please come with me. I will take you to the ancestral hall. The clan leader should be waiting for you there."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Okay, Ah Hao, you lead the way."

Under the leadership of Wu Xihao, He Yuzhu and others soon arrived at the Wu family ancestral hall. The Wu family's patriarch Wu Sangui had already received the news and was waiting at the door.

When he saw He Yuzhu coming, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Secretary He, I didn't expect you to come. Please come in. I have prepared tea. Please take a seat."

He Yuzhu did not say anything polite, but nodded slightly and sat directly on the armchair on the left side of the ancestral hall.

After he sat down, he took the initiative to speak.

"Chief Wu, Ah Hao mentioned you to me before. Now that I've met you today, I think it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you. You look quite old and frail."

Wu Sangui heard He Yuzhu's polite words and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Secretary He, you are too polite. I am already old.

By the way, I heard from Ah Hao this time that you plan to clean up the officialdom in our Shantou City. Is this true?"

He Yuzhu saw that the other party had asked the main question and nodded without hesitation.

"Well, Chief Wu, to be honest with you, I do intend to rectify the various chaos in our Shantou City, but you also know that I am an outsider with limited strength, and I don't know where to start."

Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui immediately expressed his opinion.

"Secretary He, you don't have to worry too much about where to start. As long as you have the determination to reform and rectify, I, Wu Sangui, am willing to use all of our Wu family's connections and relationships to help you achieve it."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised to hear what Wu Sangui said, but he knew very well that there is no free lunch in the world. If the other party was willing to pay such a high price, he must have other intentions.

“Chief Wu, with what you said, I am very confident about the reform of the entire Shantou City.

However, I can't let you give in vain. If you have any difficulties or need help, please let me know. "

Wu Sangui was waiting for He Yuzhu's promise, because he was plotting for the position of the four major families.

"Okay, Secretary He, I will obey your orders, old man. Now let's talk about the current situation."

Then he glanced at Wu Xihao and others standing beside him.

They immediately understood what he meant and all retreated. He Yuzhu also looked at Lin Zhiwei on the side, and he also left very tactfully.

At this time, He Yuzhu and Wu Sangui were the only two people left in the Wu Family Ancestral Hall.

They talked for two hours.

During this period, He Yuzhu obtained some very important information from Wu Sangui.

The first is that the four major families are not a monolithic group. The Chen family has made the most profit, followed by the Huang family, then the Ye family, and the Xie family has made the least. This has caused extreme dissatisfaction among Xie Changzhi, the head of the Xie family. Since he has a good relationship with Wu Sangui, he often complains privately.

The second is that the Ye family has recently emerged as a dark horse due to its relationship with City 49, and has the momentum to surpass the Huang Chen family, and has been suppressed by them.

The third is that the lower-class people in the entire Shantou City are not living well at all. Food, money and various welfare benefits are concentrated in the hands of the children of the four major families. They even have problems with food and clothing and livelihood.

In addition, the presidents and secretaries of each commune under each county are basically the children of major aristocratic families.

Of course, there is also the most explosive news, that is, the four major families not only exert high pressure internally, but also collude with some overseas forces and often carry out smuggling activities through fishing boats.

These pieces of news made He Yuzhu's eyes light up. He felt that this Shantou City was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined. Now he had a very good idea, which was to win over the Xie family, unite some small families like the Wu family, divide the Ye family, and concentrate firepower to deal with the Huang family and the Chen family. This would definitely be a great idea.

After the discussion, He Yuzhu stood up and said goodbye.

"Patriarch Wu, please help contact the Xie family. It's getting late. I have to go back."

When Wu Sangui heard what He Yuzhu said, he immediately tried to persuade him to stay.

"Secretary He, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"

He Yuzhu waved his hand.

"Chief Wu, don't spend money. Let's eat together another day. When things are done, there will be plenty of opportunities to eat together. What do you think?"

Seeing that He Yuzhu said this, Wu Sangui stopped trying to persuade him to stay.
