Li Xu traveled to the year 1960. In this era, which he had never seen before and only heard about in books and from elders, the only thing he could do was ensure his family had enough to eat and li...
"I don't know the way. Please take me on your bike later."
"Um."
Back at the Du family, Du Lin and the other three turned to look at him at the same time, "Did you find out anything?"
Li Xu told Du Sen the news he knew, then pushed him aside and sat down at the mahjong table to play.
After listening to this, Du Lin thought for a moment and then warned, "Before the commissioner leaves, all of you must behave yourself and don't do anything out of line. Do you understand?"
If the commissioner was bribed this time, that would be fine.
But if he was plotted against by the county leaders and had to pretend that the incident never happened, he would definitely be extremely angry.
At that time, he will vent his anger on the people of Tang County.
If there is any violation, he will definitely hold on to it.
And it is impossible for the county leaders to plot against him again because of this, so anyone caught by him will definitely be in trouble.
"Understood." Du Sen and others responded.
Li Xu didn't say anything, because he had figured it out a long time ago. To put it bluntly, if the commissioner hadn't been so seriously injured, the leaders would never have cared about this matter.
After all, their job is to do this. If they interfere casually and it is reported, the higher-ups might think that the situation in Tang County is very serious.
Li Xu did not go home at noon, but had lunch at Du's house.
After eating, several people continued to play cards.
He didn't return home until it was almost time to get off work.
During dinner, he told his family about the situation and gave Li Chen some special instructions.
Everyone had an expression of disbelief; they didn't expect something like this to happen.
Then Li Jiakang said, "After dinner, I will go to the countryside to inform everyone and ask them to be more cautious in their work."
Hearing this, Li Xu quickly said, "Dad, please ask my uncle to tell my great uncle about the situation."
Li Jiakang nodded and then talked about something else.
Early the next morning.
Not long after arriving at the office, I saw Liu Gang coming over.
Li Xu quickly walked to his side and asked, "Uncle Liu, what happened?"
Liu Gang showed a helpless expression and whispered, "That commissioner refused to listen to anything I said and insisted on reporting the situation. I had no choice but to frame him."
Li Xu smacked his lips. "If that's the case, we have to act quickly."
"Of course. We didn't let him leave the ward all day yesterday because we were afraid he would submit the report first. From what the old man said, it seemed that the county would take measures today."
At this point, Liu Gang cursed again, "Damn it, this is what happened."
Li Xu knew he was just grumbling, so he didn't try to persuade him. Instead, he showed curiosity and asked again, "Did he make any other requests, such as punishing those who beat him?"
"Of course he did, but the old man and his family didn't agree," Liu Gang continued, explaining, "He wanted to parade the family through the streets and conduct ideological education. Most outrageously, he wanted the county to issue an order prohibiting feudal and superstitious practices like scattering paper money and waving white banners during funerals. Anyone who violated the order would be severely punished. Tell me, who would dare agree to these demands?"
Good job.
This request is ridiculous.
Apart from anything else, just parading that family through the streets would be impossible.
There was no way around it. This was how funerals were handled throughout Tang County. It was impossible to punish just their family.
If people are really pushed to the limit, will the leaders still be alive?
What's more, after punishing them, what will happen to other families?
Do we really need to send someone to strictly manage this?
If this were to happen, Li Xu was certain that people would have to carry guns with them during funerals in the future...
This is not an exaggeration at all.
Obstructing a funeral is a matter of life and death. If people don't show their support, this family will be insulted in the future and won't even be able to raise their heads. No girl will marry into their family, and no one will dare to marry their daughter.
Otherwise, why has feudal superstition been banned for so long, but people have not changed the funeral process at all, and no one dares to intervene?
Thinking of this, Li Xu showed a speechless expression, "If this is agreed, our county will have gunfights every few days."
"I've been explaining this to him for a long time, but he won't listen at all. He insists this is feudal superstition that's strictly prohibited. What's even more infuriating is that later, when someone asked him if funerals were done according to regulations in their area, he hesitated for a long time before finally answering yes. He's treating people like fools."
Li Xu scratched his head. This guy was actually playing double standards.
So the people in his hometown are human beings, but the people in our small county town are not human beings?
As we all know, playing double standards is never a good thing.
So he said viciously, "If I were the county leader, I would definitely give this old bastard a beating today."
Although we can't kill him, it's okay to take the opportunity to make him suffer a little.
Besides, you have already offended each other, so why bother about more or less?
"Forget it, he's in this state now. If he gets any stronger, he might die here." Liu Gang glanced at him unhappily, then waved his hand. "Alright, enough talk. We have to leave. I'll tell you if there's any follow-up news."
Li Xu nodded and turned to walk towards his car.
As they were driving along the road with the goods, the news that the commissioner had been beaten had spread throughout the city, but without exception, everyone thought that he deserved the beating.
Moreover, a piece of news came from somewhere that the commissioner wanted the leaders of Tang County to severely punish those feudal and superstitious behaviors, but this suggestion was rejected by the leaders.
