Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Tong Liang got excited and pulled out the gun from his waist. The middle-aged man now took advantage of the situation and pointed at Tong Liang and the other two and shouted.

"They are definitely not good people, catch them quickly."

The militiamen raised their guns and pointed them at Tong Liang and the other two. Yu Zecheng quickly raised his hands and said something.

"Don't get me wrong, comrade. We are good people. We are from the Ministry of Public Security."

He had been in Taiwan for ten years, and his original Beijing dialect accent was mixed with a hint of Minnan dialect. Now the people who gathered around him believed that they were spies even more.

The middle-aged man said proudly.

"You guys stole a military vehicle from somewhere and came to our Yi County to cause trouble. You say you're not spies, but I ask you, how could a good person carry two work IDs, and they don't even show you're from the same unit?"

You know what, if this middle-aged man didn't have his own selfish motives, then what he said would make sense.

Tong Liang had three work IDs on him. People who understood this matter knew that this was normal. People from the Central Investigation Bureau all had three work IDs, but in this remote area, could they know about it?

This is a short-haired woman who stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"I'm the deputy head of Yi County, my name is Xing Meiyu. You claim to be from the Ministry of Public Security. What other proof do you have besides your ID? And what are you doing in Yi County?"

Yu Zecheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took out his work ID from the Lingnan Public Security Bureau and handed it over, then said.

"Comrade, we are indeed from the Ministry of Public Security. When we go out on missions, we usually carry two work permits: one for the local government and one for the military."

The middle-aged man sneered and said loudly.

"nonsense…"

Xing Meiyu said sternly.

"Du Lin, don't speak for now."

Du Lin's eyes rolled around twice, and he snorted and said.

"Deputy County Magistrate Xing, before you speak, I urge you to think carefully. My second uncle and my cousin's husband only went to Baozhou Prefecture for a meeting, but they were not transferred..."

Xing Meiyu's face turned serious and she reached out to stop Du Lin.

"I've thought it through clearly. Secretary Du and County Magistrate Liu are not here, so I have the final say here."

She turned around and asked Tong Liang.

"Besides your work permit, do you have any other supporting documents?"

Yu Zecheng was stunned. It was the first time he encountered such a situation, and so was Tong Liang. He thought about it and had to speak.

"County Magistrate Xing, you can call the Ministry and verify our identities."

Xing Meiyu nodded. She believed in the identities of Tong Liang and the other two. You must be kidding. Why wouldn't she believe it? Yi County had nothing, not even a garrison. What were the spies doing there?

Besides, have you ever seen any spy driving a jeep here in such a high-profile manner?

Xing Meiyu almost laughed out loud when she thought about it. What kind of spy was so stupid that Du Lin could see through him?

"All three of you, please hand over your weapons and follow me to my office. I will verify your identities with the higher authorities."

Tong Liang and his men didn't carry guns with them at all. He and Yu Zecheng handed over their service guns. Mu Wanqiu was a civilian cadre and didn't carry a gun.

Xing Meiyu waved to the staff who were watching.

"It's okay, it was a misunderstanding, everyone go back to work."

After saying that, she led Yu Zecheng and the other two into the office. Now, only Du Lin, gritting his teeth, was left in the county party committee compound.

Du Lin looked at Mu Wanqiu's graceful figure, couldn't help wiping his mouth, and then he grinned.

"No matter who you are, once you arrive in Yi County, you must coil up like a dragon, lie down like a tiger, or lie on the bed like a woman. Just wait and see if you can leave Yi County without this woman..."

He stamped his feet and walked out of the yard.

In the deputy county magistrate's office, Xing Meiyu put down the phone. She returned her gun to Tong Liang and Yu Zecheng very embarrassedly, and then shook hands with them one by one.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Tong, Comrade Yu. Yi County is a poor and remote place, and you haven't seen much of the world. I'm sorry to have wronged you."

No matter how big this county is, he is the head of a county after all. It is already remarkable that he can bow his head and apologize to him. Tong Liang certainly understands this. He is not the director, and is not even as good as the two team leaders. How dare he refuse to accept the apology of a county head?

"County Magistrate Xing, please don't say that. It's just a misunderstanding. Everything will be fine once we talk it out."

Mu Wanqiu said from the side.

"County Magistrate Xing, who was that person just now? He looked very arrogant."

Xing Meiyu smiled bitterly and asked the three of them to sit down. She took the thermos and made tea for Yu Zecheng and the others while speaking.

"Our Yi County is not a big place, but there are many things to do.

The man who stopped you three is called Du Lin. In terms of his job title, he is just a clerk, but he has another identity. He is the nephew of Secretary Du of the County Party Committee and the cousin of County Magistrate Liu.

That's why he's always been arrogant and domineering in the county, and his word is final. Today, you three are unlucky. When you arrived at the county government, he was the first person you saw."

Yu Zecheng and Mu Wanqiu didn't understand the reason, but Tong Liang was shocked.

"County Magistrate Xing, from what you're saying, the mayor and secretary of Yi County are actually relatives? How is that even possible? This isn't allowed in organizational relationships. Isn't this a one-man show?"

Xing Meiyu sighed.

"Who says it's not true? But this is exactly the case in Yi County. Standing Committee meetings are rare in Yi County because they go home for a drink, resolve the matter, and then notify us, the Standing Committee members."

Tong Liang was speechless and couldn't say anything for a long time. He didn't ask any further questions. The matter here must be very complicated. It would be better to wait for the director to come and solve it.

Xing Meiyu placed the tea in front of the three of them and asked with a smile.

"What brings you three to Yi County?"

Yu Zecheng nodded and said impatiently,

"Ten years ago, I was ordered to go on a mission and was separated from my wife. Now I am back and I want to find her and our child,"

Xing Meiyu looked at Yu Zecheng in surprise, then at Mu Wanqiu. After Mu Wanqiu came in, she naturally sat next to Yu Zecheng. She thought they were a couple.

Xing Meiyu asked with a smile.

"Comrade Yu, what is your wife's name? Why did you separate from her?"

Yu Zecheng said with a serious face.

"I'm sorry, County Magistrate Xing, I'm on a confidential mission, so I'm sorry I can't tell you. My wife is from Yi County. Her name is Chen Cuiping. She once served as a guerrilla leader. Her sister is Chen Qiuping, who has died.

Do you think you can find it through these circumstances?"

Xing Meiyu was a little embarrassed. She came to the desk and picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Xing Meiyu. Can you check if there's a female comrade named Chen Cuiping among our county cadres? I heard she was a guerrilla leader and has a sister named Chen Qiuping. Yes, she's from Yi County. Okay, if you find any, please let me know immediately."
