After a simple welcome dinner for the Lan family, everyone dispersed. Those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go home went home. They had traveled a long way and needed to rest.
Three days after the Lan family returned, the verdicts for the Xu and Zhao families were handed down. Zhao Zhenghua, Xu Zhaohui, Luo Yufeng, and Luo Yufang were sentenced to death. The other members of the Zhao and Xu families, who were not directly involved, were sent to a farm in the Northwest and were never allowed to leave.
When the verdict was announced, those in the know sighed inwardly, "Fools are sometimes lucky!" If Xu Youwei, Zhao Xingzhong, and the others had been as intelligent as their parents, they probably wouldn't have escaped the death penalty this time either.
The judgment was handed down, but enforcement took place three days later.
That morning, Huo Haocheng led a team to bring Zhao Zhenghua, Xu Zhaohui, and the Luo sisters to the execution site.
Because of the Luo sisters' S-class spies status, the leadership was worried that someone might try to rescue them, so Huo Haocheng's Independent Regiment was assigned to this mission.
After arrangements were made, Huo Haocheng led a small team to be escorted by personnel from the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, while Bai Sirui and others were responsible for guarding the area.
So, as soon as it was dawn, Bai Sirui led his team to surround the entire execution site. Just in case, Deng Yi and Su Yanqiu led a team to patrol the area, while Ruan Shaoke and Gu Jinghe, Ge Xiaotian and Lin Qingyuan were paired up and ambushed in the surrounding mountains to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.
At 9:00 AM sharp, the execution officially commenced. Simultaneously, a report on the Zhao and Xu families, personally penned by Lan Zhiyu, was published. The report was sharp and incisive, first concisely explaining the Luo sisters' identities as spies, then harshly criticizing Zhao Zhenghua for being infatuated with lust, heartlessly betraying his wife, and finally exposing the Zhao and Xu families' long-standing collusion with the Miao family, their capture of people for experiments, their development of neurotoxins in an attempt to control people's minds, their formation of cliques, and their persecution of loyal officials. This report, exceeding a thousand words, was reported nationwide on the same day that the Zhao and Xu families were sentenced, occupying half a page of the entire newspaper.
This also caused the surviving members of the Zhao and Xu families to suffer greatly in the Northwest.
The ancients said that it is better to offend a military general than a civil official, and there is some truth to that.
The matter between the Zhao and Xu families has finally come to a complete end, and the Independent Regiment has finally ushered in its holiday.
Through the Su family's connections, the Gu family arranged a position for Dr. Jiang at the Beijing Military Region Hospital. Although it was called a lateral transfer, it was also a form of promotion.
On the first day of the holiday, Gu Jinghe bought a ticket to go back to Yuncheng to pick up his wife and children.
Huo Haocheng's family packed their things and prepared to return to their hometown. The main reason they were going back was to pick up their grandparents and bring them to Beijing.
Another point is that it's already 1976, and the college entrance examination will be reinstated in 1977. There's still a year left before the economy opens up. At that time, inspection teams from various countries will come to China one after another. So Ruanruan wants to set up a pharmaceutical factory in Beijing, which will also help promote the economy.
Ruan Ruan shared her idea with Huo Haocheng, who had always supported her career aspirations. So, the two of them discussed it and went to the Ruan family to find Grandpa that day.
That day, Ruan Ruan and the old man talked in the study from around 3 p.m. until dinner. During this time, Ruan Ruan mostly talked to the old man about the benefits that economic opening up would bring to the country, the level that would raise people's living standards, and how far the country's scientific research could go, etc. The old man listened in a daze.
These were things they dared not even imagine, but now someone is telling you that these things are real, and this person is his own granddaughter, so the old man has no choice but to believe it.
Therefore, that evening, after dinner and seeing Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng off, the old man went to find his old friend. The next day, after breakfast, the two of them took the simplified architectural drawings that Ruan Ruan had made in Yuncheng and went to find the leader.
There was no other way. Ruan Ruan wanted to build a factory in Beijing, and they had to help her apply for land. Moreover, based on Ruan Ruan's plans on the blueprints, the land couldn't be too small, otherwise her vision wouldn't be realized. So, the two old men could only try to fool the leaders. Actually, they knew it was just a formality.
When her grandfather told her to go home and wait for notification, Ruan Ruan postponed her return to Shenyang. They all wanted to wait for the results so she could call Yuncheng. At that time, Zheng Xuyang would need to bring Chen Liang along.
Yes, Ruan Ruan did this because she wanted to bring Zheng Xuyang and the others back to Beijing.
The leaders didn't keep Ruan Ruan waiting in vain. The next morning, the land Ruan Ruan needed was approved, along with Fu Mingyi's transfer.
With the downfall of Li Dong, deputy director of the Beijing Public Security Bureau, many government officials have also been implicated. Fu Mingyi himself has a good track record, and the elders know that he has a good relationship with Huo Haocheng. They transferred him here so that he can help them in the future.
Furthermore, Lan Chaoyang himself has a good education and was once a government official. In addition, he has been by Zheng Xuyang's side for the past year and has a good grasp of economics. This time, he can fill the vacancy of a financial official and thus stay in the capital.
As for Lan Chaolin, the Lan family took this opportunity to transfer him to Mayor Lu's side.
It can be said that most of the people who filled the vacancies in this major reshuffle in Beijing have close ties with Huo Haocheng and Ruan Ruan. This was a decision made after discussions among the leaders.
As Ruan Ruan said, the country needs to develop, which requires economic development. And how will this economic development come about? In the end, it will depend on young people like them. Ruan Ruan will be a representative of this generation of young people. So, in order to make her path smoother in the future, they are now starting to pave the way for her.
The land that the government approved for Ruan Ruan was located at the foot of the mountain where the Xu family's experimental base used to be. When Ruan Ruan saw the address, she said to Huo Haocheng, "If I had known, I wouldn't have blown up that cave!!"
