What Nie Bo didn't expect was that the person Xu Yishan took him to meet was Mr. Zhong, the widow of Xiang Yong, the former deputy secretary of the municipal party committee.
Teacher Zhong was also very surprised that Xu Yishan, the secretary of the municipal party committee, came to visit her in person. She was a little flustered and at a loss, and murmured: "Secretary Xu, Secretary Xu, I"
She set up a mourning hall for Xiang Yong at home, and put a black and white photo of Xiang Yong.
?Because the Hengyue Municipal Party Committee did not agree to bury Xiang Yong's ashes in the martyrs' cemetery, the family member, Mr. Zhong, paid homage to his death. As a result, Xiang Yong's body is still kept in the freezer of the Shaoyang City Funeral Parlor without cremation.
? In the censer before the photo, cigarette smoke curled up.
All the curtains in her house were drawn, and the lights in the house seemed a little dim. This made the mourning hall even more gloomy.
There are no ashes in the mourning hall, but it is not less gloomy.
Xu Yishan went straight to the portrait, burned three sticks of incense to Xiang Yong, and bowed deeply three times.
After he finished all this, he turned to Teacher Zhong and said, "Mr. Zhong, Secretary Xiang has been away for a long time. I think this mourning hall should be withdrawn."
Teacher Zhong obviously hasn't recovered from the pain of losing her husband. She smiled sadly and said, "I know it's not good. But I'm the only one at home, and I don't usually have guests coming to the door, so it won't affect other people. Just let me keep it, at least, see them , I thought that Lao Xiang was by my side before he left."
Xu Yishan sighed softly.
In fact, Xiang Yong's death has come to a conclusion. The autopsy report issued by the provincial department proved that he committed suicide. Because Xiang Yong is dead, the organization will no longer hold him accountable.
However, the position of the organization has become clear when it comes to deciding whether he is a martyr. He is not!
"Mr. Zhong, Wei Li's case is about to be prosecuted." Xu Yishan hesitated for a moment, then reminded her softly.
Teacher Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then burst into tears.
She hurriedly lit a stick of incense, and said softly, "Lao Xiang, Wei Li is going to be prosecuted, you have to keep your eyes open, and don't let the person who caused you go unpunished."
Xu Yishan said slowly: "His case may be lighter."
"Slightly? He lightly?" Teacher Zhong seemed to be ignited in an instant, burning up, "He can be light with all his powers. Is there any justice in this world? Is my family's old Xiang dead in vain? "
Xu Yishan said with a wry smile: "The death of Comrade Lao Xiang was a surprise to all of us and heartbroken. Comrade Lao Xiang had worked in a revolutionary position all his life, and his death sounded the alarm for us. Don't look at many of our leaders. Cadres are usually firm-willed, but when something happens, there is still a problem with willpower.¡±
"I don't believe that my family always committed suicide." Mr. Zhong said with firm eyes, "We have been husband and wife for a lifetime, and I know him too well."
Xu Yishan deliberately asked in surprise: "Mr. Zhong, what do you mean"
"In short, my old man's death is not clear. I understand now, is all the crimes blamed on my old man? So that he can be treated with leniency?"
Xu Yishan wondered: "This case is being investigated by the province, and I don't know the specifics."
"Don't give my boss an explanation, but pour all the dirty water on him. Wei Li is really vicious. I won't let him go." Mr. Zhong bit his lips and said, "Secretary Xu, I'm going to sue."
Xu Yishan pretended to be surprised and asked: "Mr. Zhong, who are you going to sue?"
"I want to sue Wei Li!" Mr. Zhong wiped his tears and said, "Speaking of it, Secretary Xu, you may not believe it, but Wei Li is responsible for my family's current ending."
In the memory of Mr. Zhong, Xiang Yong is not only a good husband, but also a good father, and a good and firm party member.
The intersection between him and Wei Li happened during the time when Fu Jiayi was in power in Hengyue.
Fu Jiayi is a strong leader, but any comrade who disagrees with him will be retaliated by him. There was once such a joke circulated in the Hengyue Municipal Party Committee that Fu Jiayi's mind was smaller than a woman's, smaller than the tip of a needle.
As the old saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The powerful Fu Jiayi governing Hengyue is bound to have sharp conflicts with the equally powerful Wei Li. With Wei Li's strength alone, he obviously couldn't resist Fu Jiayi's pressure. As a result, a circle of Hengyue local gang cadres headed by Wei Li quickly formed.
Just like what Wei Li once said to Xiang Yong, "If the local cadres in Hengyue want not to be oppressed and controlled by external forces, they can only hold together to keep warm."
At first, Xiang Yong was not in Wei Li's circle.core members, not even part of the circle.
? Until one day, Wei Li personally visited Deputy Secretary Xiang Yong.
They talked for three full hours in Xiang Yong's study, and after they came out, Xiang Yong's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
Teacher Zhong once persuaded her husband not to want him to get close to Wei Li. In Mr. Zhong's view, Wei Li's power was second only to Fu Chiayi, the top leader of the municipal party committee at the time.
She hopes that her husband will remain neutral and no one will be offended. In fact, when Fu Jiayi came to Hengyue, Xiang Yong had indeed been doing this all the time.
After the in-depth discussion, the change in Xiangyong's attitude made Mr. Zhong, who is his wife, very worried.
Until one day, Xiang Yong faintly revealed a piece of information, Wei Li grasped all the problems of his family's children going abroad. He forced Xiang Yong to join his camp.
Facts have proved that Wei Li's move is very powerful. With the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee joining his forces, a confrontation between local gang cadres and outside airborne cadres soon formed.
In this confrontation, Fu Jiayi finally chose to compromise.
Everyone has their own weaknesses, and Xiang Yong's biggest weakness lies in his pair of twin daughters.
"I can assure you that my family's boss never did anything illegal. Even if there was, it was Wei Li who did it." Teacher Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "He, Wei Li, is a greedy and lustful person. Even his son I won't let go of my girlfriends, she's simply inferior to a beast."
Xu Yishan knew that what she was talking about was referring to Zhang Man being violated by Wei Li. This matter is absolutely confidential to the outside world, but it does not prevent people like Mr. Zhong from knowing.
"The development of Hengyue City has been slow or not developed at all these years, all because of Wei Li's overshadowing of the sky." Mr. Zhong said like a bamboo tube pouring beans, "He has a backer. And this backer is the current one. Governor Gong Hui."
Xu Yishan quickly stopped her and said, "Mr. Zhong, please don't talk nonsense."
"Will I talk nonsense?" Teacher Zhong said with a sneer: "If you make me anxious, I will reveal all the secrets."
Xu Yishan didn't say anything. Teacher Zhong took the initiative to say that she was hiding a secret, but Xu Yishan understood that Teacher Zhong would not reveal the secret easily.
"Have the children come back?" Xu Yishan asked with concern.
Teacher Zhong shook his head and said sadly, "I didn't let them come back."
Xu Yishan let out a groan, thinking to himself, since his father passed away, it is logically unreasonable for the children not to come back for the funeral. However, he soon understood that it wasn't that Xiang Yong's children didn't want to come back, it might be that they couldn't help themselves.
"Today, Secretary Nie and I came here specially to visit Mr. Zhong. If you have any requirements, you can tell me or Secretary Nie."
"Secretary Nie?"
"Yes, he is the new Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Comrade Nie Bo." Xu Yishan solemnly introduced: "Secretary Nie came here specially today to find out if you have any difficulties in life."
Teacher Zhong smiled wryly: "I don't have any difficulties. My biggest wish now is to organize an explanation for my family's elder, so that he can be buried as soon as possible."
After leaving Mr. Zhong's house, Nie Bo understood why Xu Yishan brought him to see Mr. Zhong.
He unconsciously said with admiration: "Boss, I understand your intentions. Don't worry, Wei Li's case cannot be put down lightly."
