Chen Shixian transmigrated to the Hong Kong Comp world in the 1980s. He was originally a cop and a rising star in the police force. He thought he had it made.
However, he found himself in a d...
Chapter 246: Exploding Pearls, let me share some private information about Grandpa Lu to open your eyes!
"Haha, Chen Shixian, you are kidding us, right? A recording from an unknown source may not be accepted in court. Who are you trying to fool?"
After being stunned for about ten seconds, Lu Hantao snorted coldly and laughed dryly at Chen Shixian.
"I have to say that Grandpa Lu's eloquence is first-rate. He just said the solid evidence was from an unknown source."
Chen Shixian smiled and said, "Yes, I also think that a recording doesn't mean anything."
"But I have another video here."
"It can be handed over to the police to assist in the investigation."
At this point, Chen Shixian didn't care about the lives of Lu Hantao and Lu Jinqiang at all. He took out a videotape and shouted to Liao Zhizong who was not far away: "Mr. Liao, have you seen enough of the show?"
"We have witnesses and physical evidence, the evidence is irrefutable, so why don't we arrest the suspect?"
Liao Zhizong was named and frowned deeply.
This is difficult!
Now, should I go or not?
As a result, the pressure of the village conflict was suddenly transferred to the police. If they took a tough attitude, an accidental discharge of guns might occur, leading to the escalation of the conflict and a river of blood.
By then, the ones being held hostage by the foreigners would not be Huang Zhicheng and Ma Jun, but him.
Why not? As police officers, the suspect is right in front of them. If they don't take action, won't they just be a decoration?
How are you going to control the situation later?
"Ma Jun, pull them out!"
Liao Zhizong thought for a moment and ordered people to be arrested.
If the police forget their roots and turn a blind eye to the suspect, then Chen Shixian's Queen's Counsel Ou Yongen will probably have something to say.
The media would probably have something to say, especially Chen Shixian’s girlfriend Le Huizhen, who is a sharp-tongued reporter.
Public opinion is unstoppable.
Ma Jun nodded at Liao Zhizong, led a group of men through the crowd, and prepared to go forward to pull people out.
"Let's see who dares to pull someone from my Lu family!"
Lu Hantao's face turned grim, and he poked his ebony crutch with a bang as he blocked the way.
Now Lu Jinqiang is the only pawn left, so naturally he has to be protected.
Moreover, if he let the police take the man away, wouldn't that be a disguised admission that it was he who gave the order to murder Lu Yongyuan?
What do the villagers think of him?
Wouldn't it be a disgrace to him as a grandfather?
Even if the villagers have doubts in their hearts now, they will still support the police as long as the grandfather does not allow it when they see them arresting people.
Sure enough, the villagers immediately surrounded them with a greedy look on their faces.
Surround Ma Jun and others in the middle.
"Grandpa Lu, Lu Jinqiang is suspected of murder. We are taking him back to take a statement. Please cooperate and do not interfere with official duties!"
Ma Jun's face was tense.
Thanks to Chen Shixian, the first time they were surrounded was in Wang Baotuo's land, and the second time they were surrounded in Wei Village.
The scenes are getting bigger and bigger.
This gap is becoming increasingly difficult to fill!
This flop is getting more and more severe!
"Sir, your Royal Police tactics are useless in our Lushiwei Village!"
"Hong Kong and British laws are just a piece of waste paper, they are not even useful for wiping people's butts!"
Lu Hantao's power surged, and he said loudly: "Lu Jinqiang is a descendant of my Lu family. If he makes a mistake, he should kneel in the ancestral hall, confess in front of our ancestors, and be punished by the family law!"
"I don't recognize you!"
"My Lu family has the final say!"
Chen Shixian chuckled repeatedly. Lu Hantao, this old fox, refused to admit it even though the facts were right in front of him.
He deliberately muddied the waters, preparing to temporarily cover up the matter by confronting the police.
How could Chen Shixian let Lu Hantao go? He said with disdain, "Grandpa, you are old and demented. You can't tell good from bad?"
"Could it be that those who can pee in the same pot with you are descendants of the Lu family, and those who can't pee in the same pot with you don't count?"
If Lu Jinqiang helps you with something, you should protect him and use clan rules to resist legal regulations."
"So Lu should die forever, right?
"So, anyone who stands in your way deserves to die, no matter who they are, including members of the Lu family."
"Then what kind of Grandpa Lu are you?"
Although Ma Jun was annoyed with Chen Shixian, he also followed his lead and struck while the iron was hot: "Grandpa Lu, the walled villages are all going to be developed. Now it's a new era, democracy and the rule of law are being advocated everywhere, and the walled villages must also keep pace with the times."
"Lu Jinqiang committed a crime. If you, the grandfather in charge, protect the criminal, I have reason to suspect that you are an accomplice!"
Chen Shixian and Ma Jun sang in unison.
The villagers also began to whisper.
It is true that Grandpa is the authority in the village, but that does not mean he can take human lives lightly.
We are not completely unreasonable.
I listened to the recording just now.
Lu Jinqiang said in person that Uncle Tao gave them one million yuan to deal with Lu Yongyuan.
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone understood what it meant.
"Grandpa, Lu Jinqiang is a descendant of the Lu family, and Lu Yongyuan was raised by everyone. We can't favor one over the other!"
"Yes, or let Ah Qiang go with the police. True gold is not afraid of fire. He has not committed any crime, and the police will not wrongly accuse him!"
"Yes, we can't let Ayuan down!"
"Besides, if what happened is true, Lu Jinqiang is now guilty of attempted murder, so Lu will live forever. If he succeeded, he would be a dead man now. How scary."
…
The villagers spoke one after another, and their relatively fair words made Lu Hantao frown more and more.
These villagers are his weapons. Once their trust collapses, he, as a grandfather, will no longer have any prestige.
"Jin Qiang, tell the truth, otherwise Grandpa can't save you."
Lu Hantao mentioned it in a low voice in front of Lu Jinqiang.
It is difficult to protect Lu Jinqiang now, so it is better to take drastic measures and think of a solution later.
Lu Jinqiang's expression changed and his eyes showed thought.
Lu Hantao is ready to distance himself from the matter.
This is also a threat.
Chen Shixian has solid evidence, including audio and video recordings. He can't escape.
The brothers Lu Yongfu and Lu Jianbo were also completely wiped out. Some were sent to prison, while others fell to the ground. He had no backup.
If he offends grandpa again and drags him into trouble, no one will be able to save him.
We must protect Grandpa so that he can have a future.
"Sir Ma, I was the one who instigated Luo Yong to murder Lu Yongyuan."
"Grandpa just gave me one million to persuade Lu Yongyuan to put the overall situation first and the interests of the clan elders first."
"We have advised him many times, and everyone has seen it, but Lu Yongyuan is still selfish and insists on having his own way."
"We have no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
Lu Jinqiang took the blame for everything, taking all the faults on himself, while also not forgetting to excuse Lu Hantao.
When the villagers heard this, they were also confused.
Could it be that there is some hidden story behind this?
Seeing this, Lu Hantao took the loudspeaker from Lu Jinqiang and faced the villagers with a sincere look on his face.
"My fellow clan members, we are all family. I don't want to tear our faces apart and embarrass A Yuan."
"Now, I will speak frankly."
"Every year, we add new members to our village, record our family tree, and give male members land. Now that we have developed our village, we can sell our members and land and settle down in the city. Why is that?"
"Because we have our own rights and our own land!"
"Where did these come from?"
"It was me, the grandfather of the Lu family, who led the entire Lu family, risking our lives to fight for this."
"We rely on the Lu family to unite as one and face the outside world together!"
Lu Hantao spoke with great passion.
Chen Shixian felt like laughing after hearing this.
It seems that being a grandpa is no different from being the leader of a pyramid scheme.
You have to be able to brainwash, create a persona, and incite emotions.
In the future, on Tik Tok, with this kind of eloquence, Grandpa can definitely become a million-dollar V and attract a group of crazy fans.
Lu Hantao spoke with great emotion, and continued: "We live in a remote village, in a poor and remote place. We have been poor for many lifetimes. People call us country bumpkins and country bumpkins, and look down on us for being mud-legged people."
"I have to collect vegetables, do hard labor, and smile, and earn a little money, but it's not enough for people in the city to go to the game hall and play a few rounds."
"That little bit of money I earn in a month is not even enough to buy someone a new shirt."
"Guarding a small piece of land, facing the earth and back to the sky, there is no future in life!"
After a pause, Lu Hantao continued, "It was not easy. An American investor took a fancy to our Feng Shui treasure land and sent Mr. Wanshan to develop the village."
“Such a great opportunity.”
"Everyone can exchange their barren land and Ding rights for money, buy a house in the city, hold their heads high and change their destiny."
"But Lu Yongyuan interfered and colluded with Chen Shixian to secretly recruit people and land for his own selfish interests."
"If they are just hoarding land and waiting to sell it at a good price, I have nothing to say. Everyone has selfish motives and wants to live a good life. I can understand that."
“But they are doing their own development and building new buildings, which is against us and everyone else!”
Lu Hantao spoke fiercely and loudly, "If we let them succeed."
"American investors will withdraw from investing in the villages."
"Our village will become a muddy land again. Our rights and land will not be converted into cash, and we will still be country bumpkins."
"Lu Yongyuan has betrayed his ancestors and trampled on everyone's interests. He forced Mr. Wanshan to withdraw his investment and destroyed the village!"
"It's the sinner of the village!"
Lu Hantao is very good at tying collective interests together and using the villagers as a gun.
As soon as he said this, all the villagers became excited and angry. They looked at Lu Yongyuan and Chen Shixian as if they wanted to eat them.
The weapons in their hands were clanging loudly.
After some incitement, the villagers no longer cared about Lu Jinqiang's murder of Lu Yongyuan.
Everyone has the mentality of "even if my friend dies, I would rather die than let myself die".
When it came to their own interests, they turned their guns on Lu Yongyuan and Chen Shixian in an instant and regarded them as their enemies.
"In the New Territories, in the walled villages, since ancient times, everyone has listened to Grandpa. I will only lead everyone to a path of life, not a path of death."
"Chen Shixian and Lu Yongyuan are harming everyone and blocking everyone's financial path. They are the enemy of me, the grandfather of the Lu family, and the enemy of everyone!"
"For the future of Wei Village, my attitude is the same as when I was fighting for Ding Rights. I will fight them to the end at all costs!"
Lu Hantao was spitting saliva, his expression was determined, and he suddenly pulled his hand towards the crowd with great power.
A group of uncles and great-uncles who supported Lu Hantao also started to make a fuss, shouting, "Lu has always colluded with profiteers and brought disaster to the village. Get out of the village!"
"Get out of the village!"
"Get out of the village!"
The villagers' eyes filled with tears when they heard this. They were so excited that they marched forward like a mighty army, pressing forward one after another. They formed a huge crowd, creating a very oppressive feeling.
Ma Jun and his men were caught between the two groups. They were pushed around and their faces turned green.
When the two sides faced off, they became a sandwich.
And this conflict is escalating.
On Chen Shixian's side, Da D, Jimmy, Jiu Wenlong and others relied on their numerical advantage to block these villagers, and each of them took out their weapons.
Hitting the guy to scare the villagers.
When these tools were struck, they sounded like thunder, getting louder and louder. At first, they were chaotic, but as the rhythm of the strikes went on, they gradually became uniform and full of momentum, creating the appearance of an army of thousands.
This scene shocked Liao Zhizong, Huang Zhicheng and other police officers.
"Quick, quick, quick, rush in and separate them!"
Liao Zhizong's scalp was exploding. A fight was about to break out.
He quickly directed his men to take up explosion-proof shields, pepper spray, smoke bombs, guns, etc., rushed forward, and struggled to squeeze into the crowd to separate the two groups.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
A firework blasted at an inopportune time, especially harsh and conspicuous in the empty space.
In an instant, it attracted everyone's attention, and the originally noisy and tense scene came to a temporary halt.
“Boom boom boom!”
Chen Shixian took the drumstick and hit the big drum on the side of the stage hard, attracting everyone's attention back to himself.
Big D was speechless. It was already this time and they were still performing?
Why do you love acting so much?
There are so many tricks and the operation is so cool!
Aren’t you afraid that the villagers will go crazy? Why don’t you just give him a shuttle and send him down to sell the salted duck eggs?
These villagers are now so excited that they want to tear them apart alive.
“Ahem!”
Chen Shixian cleared his throat and faced the villagers. Without changing his expression or heartbeat, he slowly said, "Everyone, calm down a little and listen to me."
"Wait till I'm done. If you still want Chuangshi Real Estate to get out of the village, I'll get out by myself. No need to bother with your cannons or guns!"
Two humorous words instantly eased the tense atmosphere temporarily.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
When Lu Hantao saw that the villagers hesitated, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.
Chen Shixian was able to obtain audio and video recordings of the conspiracy between Lu Jinqiang and his brothers, and he might have more evidence against them.
Don't be afraid of ten thousand things, just be prepared for the worst.
If the same thing happened to him, his authority would be gone. Who would listen to him?
By then, let alone controlling the villagers to sell their land.
No one even lit a cigarette for him.
Today, we must incite the villagers to drive out Chen Shixian and Lu Yongyuan.
As for whether anyone will be killed when taking advantage of the chaos, it is hard to say.
He would not attack Chen Shixian in front of the police and leave evidence against him, but there was no guarantee that he would not make mistakes in the chaos.
By then, the law will not hold everyone responsible, and Chen Shixian and Lu Yongyuan will have died in vain.
Lu Hantao took a step forward, aggressively and fiercely shouted to the other uncles: "Uncle Dongjiang, what are you waiting for?!!!"
Dong Jiangbo and Lu Hantao are of course in the same boat. To deceive the villagers, they naturally need these uncles and aunts to help.
He immediately raised his arms and said to the villagers: "In Wei Village, Grandpa is the sky, Grandpa's words are the imperial decree, and the interests of the Lu family must not be violated!"
"Don't listen to this outsider's bullshit. Let's all come together, flatten this place and drive them out!"
The scene was noisy again.
After a brief pause, the villagers rushed forward again.
These villagers have lived in the walled village for generations, and have been taught since childhood to listen to their grandfathers.
It's like a conditioned reflex, I obey subconsciously.
What's more, the scene was in chaos, everyone was so excited that few people could remain rational.
It's like a fight between two gangsters on the street. When they get excited, they go crazy. They don't feel any pain and they are not afraid of death.
"Old man, you are in such a hurry. If you are not in a hurry to reincarnate, are you afraid that something shameful will be exposed and the name Grandpa will be ruined?"
"Are you afraid that everyone will know that it is you, Grandpa, who is encroaching on the interests of the village and taking food from everyone's bowl?"
Chen Shixian held the microphone and stood steadily on the stage. He looked at Lu Hantao with a smile and asked back.
Rather than saying that this stage was built for the groundbreaking ceremony, it would be more accurate to say that it was a stage built specifically for Grandpa Lu.
The microphone and speakers are of the highest quality available.
Clear and loud.
Even if the scene is in chaos, everyone present can hear it clearly.
The three major forces of United Construction, Chuangshi Real Estate and Quanxing Group gathered together to form a human wall to prevent these villagers from easily rushing over and ending everything.
And don't let the police and others interfere and interrupt everything.
If their momentum is not strong enough, the police will definitely take action against them in order to maintain stability in the village.
Chen Shixian's words echoed over the entire open space.
The villagers stopped again, calmed down a little, and looked puzzled.
Could it be that there is some other hidden secret here?
After the Lu Jinqiang incident, everyone's trust in Lu Hantao was greatly reduced.
Moreover, times are different now.
There was no sinister person like Lu Yongfu at the scene who would directly fire a gun and take the lead in making things bigger and muddying the waters.
There was no instigation from Lu Yongquan and his group of lackeys.
There was no Lu Jianbo who brought his large family of uncles, aunts, and cousins to cause trouble.
Lu Hantao's influence among the villagers was naturally affected.
Lu Hantao watched the villagers pause and felt a panic in his heart. It had been many years since he felt so out of control.
He had a bad feeling.
Holding the cane with both hands, he shouted at Chen Shixian: "Stop throwing dirty water on me!"
"I have been in this position for decades, working hard for the village. I have done this to the heavens, the earth, and my own conscience, and I have never had any selfish motives!"
"I will never be like a jerk like Lu Yongyuan, teaming up with an outsider like you to ruin the village and be selfish!"
Lu Hantao swore solemnly and spoke with such sincerity that it seemed as if it were true.
"Wow, Grandpa, TVB should really hire you to be an actor. However, you need to retrain. This performance is outdated and I am tired of it!"
Chen Shixian shook his head and said to Baozhu, "Baozhu, let's share some of Grandpa Lu's private information to open everyone's eyes."
"Okay!"
Baozhu immediately took out a cassette, walked backstage, and prepared to play it.
"Bang!"
Lu Hantao became anxious, snatched a gun from a villager next to him, and fired a shot into the air.
"Can our village be allowed to be disturbed by a stranger?"
"Get started!"
Grandpa gave an order.
