Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Li Quezi took a breath and continued, "At that time, Weixian had just been liberated and the county was in chaos. My father found the new government with a letter of introduction and files.

The staff of the new government looked at the file materials and letter of introduction and found out that my father was the new county magistrate. He was very enthusiastic.

There is a photo of my uncle in that file. It was probably taken many years ago, so his eyebrows and eyes are not very clear.

In addition, my father and my uncle looked somewhat similar, so the staff did not think anything else and just processed the paperwork for us and allocated housing.

My father told the staff that I was his nephew. My parents died when I was young and there was no one at home. So when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he adopted me.

My father and I stayed in Weixian from that day on. After more than a year, the new country was established and my father's status became higher and higher.

Until one day, a demobilized soldier came from afar to see my father. He found my home directly and said that he was my father's comrade-in-arms, named Yang Shuhuai.

This time, the respondent was transferred to Binhai and came to see his old squad leader. When he arrived at the county government, the government staff said that the county magistrate was in a meeting, so they gave him his home address and asked him to come home.

I told my dad after the meeting, so Yang Shuhuai came directly to our house. I was terrified when I heard that. This is my uncle's comrade-in-arms, he must know my uncle.

If I waited for my dad to come back, it would be terrible if the two of them met. At this time, Sun Dapao came to my house to find me. This Sun Dapao was a friend I met at the gambling table. He was a very loyal person and we often interacted with each other.

I asked Sun Dapao to accompany Yang Shuhuai for a while, and I pretended to go out to buy vegetables. When I got out, I went to the county government. When I got there, my father just came out after a meeting.

I quickly told him about Yang Shuhuai. My father listened calmly and said that he had expected such a thing to happen, so he notified the staff and told them that if anyone looked for him, he should say that he was in a meeting.

My father asked me to go back to his office with him. When we got there, he took out a small paper bag and told me that it was a drug that the brothel's madam had prepared to deal with disobedient girls.

Just pick up a little with your fingernail and put it in the wine, and even an elephant will be instantly enchanted.

My dad asked me to buy some good wine and food, and drink with Yang Shuhuai, and told me that my dad would be back soon after the meeting, and we would eat while waiting. After I charmed Yang Shuhuai, my dad would deal with him.

I bought some cooked food and two bottles of wine on the street. After returning home, I told Yang Shuhuai that my father would be back after the meeting and asked us to eat while waiting.

Sun Dapao and I started to eat and drink with him. When he was a little tipsy, I secretly put the drug in his wine. Sure enough, he fainted after drinking it.

Sun Dapao must have seen something, but he didn't say anything at the time. Later, every time Sun Dapao asked me to borrow money, he would always mention this guy named Yang, and then I would lend him the money obediently.

Sun Dapao drank a bottle of wine and went back. As soon as he left, my father came back. We waited until dark before we put the poplar trees into a sack and put them on the bicycle rack.

My father took the person away by himself. He came back in the early morning and told me that he found a deserted place on the way to Binhai.

They beat Yang Shuhuai to death with a stick and a knife, and stripped him of his clothes to create the illusion of robbery.

Sure enough, the next day the police came to my house to find out what happened. I told them that Uncle Yang was in a hurry to go to Binhai, so he left after dinner without waiting for my father to come back.

Later, the police concluded that Yang Shuhuai was robbed and murdered by two or more criminals on his way to Binhai, and the case was left unresolved..."

The common people were completely silent when they heard this. They could never imagine that a person could be so evil that he would kill his own father and brother just to become an official.

In order to cover up the truth, he wanted to kill his brother's comrade-in-arms. This kind of person had been a high-ranking official in Weixian for ten years, enjoying the benefits brought by power.

It wasn't Dabao who turned everything upside down today, so wouldn't Li Gongping get to enjoy it forever? There's really no justice in the universe...

Dabao's expression became more and more serious. Impersonation? This was not uncommon in ancient times. After all, in ancient times, it took half a year to send a letter back and forth. Communication was not well developed, so it was easy to cause such a thing.

However, telegraphs and telephones were already popular in that era. Even if Li Gongping had been hiding for a long time, it was impossible for him to hide for ten years, because Li Gongping could not have only one comrade-in-arms, but also his former superiors. Could it be that these people had not contacted him for ten years?

"Li Quezi, in the past ten years, haven't your uncle's comrades and superiors come to see him?"

Li Quezi straightened his back and sighed.

"How could that be? Someone must have contacted my father, but my father's identity file was deliberately hidden."

"What?" Dabao's eyes widened: "Who can do this? What's his name?"

"His name is Yao Wenhuai. He is a county official in Weixian County. His father is a provincial leader..."

This sentence was even more explosive, and the common people shouted,

Dabao asked doubtfully, "Yao Wenhuai? Why would he hide for your father?"

"It's a long story. In 1952, Yao Wenhuai came to Weixian County to serve as the Party Secretary. When my father heard that Yao Wenhuai's father was a provincial leader, he flattered him in every way. The two of them had a very good relationship.

Yao Wenhuai once came to my house to drink. After drinking too much, he complained that his father was an old-fashioned man who didn't use his power. He warned him not to abuse his power for personal gain.

Yao Wenhuai envied the landlords and capitalists who drove cars, ate delicacies from land and sea, wore silk and satin, and married seven or eight concubines. He envied their lives very much.

My dad said, "Isn't it easy to make money? It's just a matter of one sentence..."

Yao Wenhuai became excited at that time and asked my father how to make money.

My father said, there are two wealthy people in Wei County, one surnamed Zhuang and the other surnamed Wang. These two families are very rich. Let's just accuse them of a crime and raid their houses.

When the time comes, if I can just do something and seize a portion of the two families' property, wouldn't I have money?

When Yao Wenhuai heard this, he thought it was a good idea and asked my father,

What crime could have led to a house search?

My father said: This is easy. I have investigated before. Zhuang Jingzhai’s eldest son is from the opposite side. Are they still in contact with each other?

Wang Sanhe's second uncle is the enemy's regiment commander, and Wang Sanhe once donated military funds, so this is the charge!"

Yao Wenhuai was a little sober. He shook his head and said,

This won't work. The impact will be too wide. I'm afraid it will cause mass incidents. If the higher-ups come to investigate, we'll both be in big trouble.

Before liberation, if wealthy people wanted to keep their property, they had to let their sons and nephews become government officials, so that they could protect the safety of their homes.

So, if we use this reason to confiscate the property, it will make the rich people suffer, and then they will not be able to go to the city to file a complaint.

My father smiled and said: This is not easy to do. Find someone to disguise the handwriting and write a letter to the Wang family in the opposite tone, saying some rebellious words.

Then my father will bring people to search our house in the name of catching enemy spies, and the matter will be settled, right? "
