Chapter 23 Demotion (I)



Early September 1969, Imperial Capital, Military District, Lu Family.

Lu Zhenxi stood in front of Lu Baihua's desk: "Dad, I've got everything ready."

Lu Baihua looked at his eldest son and asked, "Did the Yao family find out?"

Lu Zhenxi said, "Don't worry. I wasn't there the entire time, and the place I was sent to is remote enough. Even if they wanted to, and sent someone to follow them, it wouldn't be a problem. It would just be hard for Mr. Zheng and the others, so the journey might be a little difficult."

Lu Baihua looked at his second son, Lu Zhenlang, and then asked, "Second son, when do you plan to send Haoyu over?"

Lu Zhenlang said, "If the Yao family really sends someone to follow us, Haoyu won't be able to go with Mr. Zheng and the others."

Lu Zhenlang then said, "I've thought about this. Uncle Lin's son Lin Feng will take Haoyu with him, and they will follow Uncle Lin."

Lu Baihua said, "That's good. We must handle this properly. We must not leave any evidence behind and let them catch us by the tail."

"By the way, these are the people you sent. There should be more than just them, right?"

Lu Zhenxi nodded and said, "Yes, there's also a university professor and a director of the Geological Bureau who studied abroad. They're both intellectuals. We've checked their backgrounds and they're trustworthy."

Imperial Capital Railway Station.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't dawdle, get on the train quickly."

Not far from the train station, two people stood aside and watched from afar as several people were pushed onto the train by the soldiers.

One of them is of ordinary appearance and is decent looking, while the other one is good looking but has dark eyes.

The gloomy man said, "Have you investigated everything? Are you sure you want to send them to the ravine?"

"Don't worry, Lao Yao, don't you trust me to do things?"

While the two people were talking, they didn't notice that there were two people, one big and one small, who entered the station and got on the train directly with their purchased tickets. The two people who were discussing and talking didn't notice the two people, the big and the small. After all, there were not only the people they were watching on the train, but also other guests who were going to various places.

Yao Yu stood not far from the train station, watching the train depart. "It's not that I'm worried, but do you think things have been too quiet lately? Given the Lu family's methods and temperament, would they let their former good brother be reduced to this?"

Tang Hui felt that Yao Yu was overdoing it. After all, the Lu family had many sworn enemies who were all eyeing them. If the Lu family wasn't careful, they would be easily bitten off by those vicious wolves. "That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that they couldn't do anything because we were watching them too closely?"

Yao Yu still felt a little uneasy, but he quickly shook it off and said, "Who knows? It's always better to be cautious. Remember to investigate that village. Even though it's in a mountain valley, we still have to be on guard. We always have to have some confidence."

Tang Hui said with a smug look on his face, "Don't tell me, Old Yao, I had already checked before this. After I knew where they were sent, I asked someone to investigate. The report is on the desk in my study. The place where they were sent was a village in a ravine. It's in the south and in the mountains. It takes at least four hours to take a bullock cart from the village to the town. We threw them into that village. Not to mention their food problem, just the fact that it's close to the mountains means we don't have to do anything to kill them. I'm afraid those jackals, tigers and leopards can eat them. What's more, that village is a clan village. You and I both know what a clan village is."

Yao Yu had not expected that the place where those people were exiled was a clan village. It's not that clan villages are bad, it's mainly because a clan can be recognized as having the same surname, although there are many branches, but such villages are relatively xenophobic. Once these people were sent to that place, they would have almost no way to survive. In addition, they are all old, weak and sick now, so it's good enough if they can stay alive and not fall down on the road.

Yao Yu's eyes darkened as he thought that once those old guys were sent down to that village, the weak and sick ones would most likely be locked up, just as Tang Hui said.

When they looked in the direction the train was leaving, the train had long disappeared.

After several days, the train arrived at its destination and stopped at the train station.

Several young men in casual clothes escorted five elderly people off the train. At this moment, there was an ox cart parked not far away, which was managed by the townspeople.

Zheng Lianjun looked up at the sun, the sun's beams shining on his face. He hadn't seen the sun for a long time.

There are not only them in the train station, but also guests coming and going.

"Comrade, they are the ones who are going to be sent down, right?"

"yes."

The person who came to pick them up said, "Comrades, it's already noon. Do you want to go to the state-owned restaurant for a meal before sending them off?"

One young man refused, "No need. Just send them to where they need to go and eat when they come back. Time is short and the task is heavy."

Seeing that the other party had already spoken, the person in charge did not want to force it: "Okay, everyone, please get in the car."

Several people forced the old men onto an ox cart, which then drove towards Shanqiao Village.

During their handover, Lin Feng also took Lu Haoyu off the train. They did not rush to Shanqiao Village like that group of people, nor did they want to catch up with them.

Lin Feng planned to take Lu Haoyu for a walk around the town, but he didn't dare to walk around too much. He just walked around to get to know the situation in the town so that he wouldn't get lost in the town in the future. At the same time, he also had to be careful that someone in the town might copy his approval slip. Lin Feng was with a child, so he moved very quietly.

When they arrived at the entrance of Shanqiao Village, there were two people waiting. Gu Jianqiang and Gu Ren had received news a few days ago that the people who were sent down would arrive today, so they had been guarding the village entrance all day except for eating, and when the people arrived, they would send them directly to the cowshed.
