Official Road Bandit Road Peach Blossom Luck

Since the Wanjialiang gang has already announced that anyone who dares to attend Zhao Tiancheng's funeral will destroy his whole family, so the number of people attending Zhao Tiancheng's funeral is pitiful. Zhao Tiancheng's close relative who really had to come.

But none of the relatives who were far away from Zhao Tiancheng's family came, and not many neighbors came.Wan Jialiang was notorious in Pingchuan County, and they were afraid that if they attended Zhao Tiancheng's funeral, Wan Jialiang would really trouble them in the future.

Even among the relatives who came, some of them looked worried, for fear that people from Wan Jialiang would suddenly barge in at this moment.Take note of what they look like.

The Zhike standing on the other side of the altar was an old man with white hair and beard and reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. The old man had a look of grief and indignation.He has worked as a confidant in the village for half his life, and all official business is inseparable from this old man. Writing couplets and making various etiquette arrangements are all the work of this old man.

What made the old man sad and angry was that today turned out to be the most relaxing time he had done in his life. There were so few guests that he was almost useless as an intellectual!

The world is getting worse, people's hearts are not old, such a good policeman died, just because of a word on the road, those people don't even have the courage to attend the funeral of the martyr, this makes this sixtieth old man really puzzled, if ordinary people are afraid of evil people , Why are the leaders of the Pingchuan Police Station also afraid of the wicked?Or is it because Zhao Tian is an adult with a small job, they don't bother to come to Zhao Tiancheng's funeral?

Zhao Changqiang subconsciously looked at the old man twice more, and felt a little more respect for this old man with a flowery mirror in his heart. Even some young and middle-aged men dare not come to Zhao Tiancheng's funeral, but this old man can come to serve as a friend, which shows the courage of the old man.

When Zhang Liwu saw Zhao Changqiang coming, he immediately said to the sixtieth old man, "Old man, the county magistrate Zhao has come to see you off."

The sixtieth old man was shocked, his eyes were a little moist, and he shouted loudly: "We have a guest!"

Under normal circumstances, with the old man's cry, there should be sorrow and joy, and the trombone blares.However, at this time, because there was no mourning, the old man's voice seemed so lonely.

Amid the old man's drawn-out shouts, Zhao Changqiang walked steadily to the front of the altar and stood still. The sixtieth old man took a bunch of incense from the altar and handed it to Zhao Changqiang, then lit the lighter to help Zhao Changqiang light it.

"For guests to offer incense, bow once, bow again, and bow three times!" The drawn-out voice of the sixtieth old man sounded again.

Zhao Changqiang raised the incense stick above his head, bowed three times respectfully, and then inserted the incense stick into the large incense burner on the altar.

"The gift is over! The relatives return the gift!"

Zhao Tiancheng's parents, who had already been waiting by the side, immediately bowed ninety degrees to Zhao Changqiang in return.According to local customs, the children of the deceased should kneel and kowtow in return, but Zhao Tiancheng was not married, so his parents could only bow on his behalf.

Zhao Changqiang hastily stretched out his hands to support the two old men who saluted him, and said, "Old man, people cannot be resurrected after death, you and the aunt should take care of your health, my condolences!"

"County Zhao, thank you for coming to see Tian Cheng off for the last time! Thank you!"

While speaking, old man Zhao was already sobbing.Uncle Zhao never expected that even his relatives and friends dared not come to see his son off, but Zhao Changqiang, the majestic county magistrate, would actually come to see his son off for the last time in person.

At this moment, Zhao Tiancheng's mother suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Changqiang with a plop, crying and saying: "County Zhao, Tiancheng died unjustly, you must give Tiancheng justice!"

Zhao Changqiang hurriedly helped Zhao Tiancheng's mother up, and said solemnly: "Mother, don't worry, I, Zhao Changqiang, swear to Brother Tiancheng's mourning hall today, if the criminals are not brought to justice, I, Zhao Changqiang, three Write it upside down!"

Although Zhao Changqiang is the county magistrate, he is a person who can't speak official language, and he doesn't bother to speak official language, and he can say whatever is on his mind, but his sincere words moved everyone in the courtyard with horror.Especially the sixtieth old man who served as a knower, even twisted his white beard with his hand and nodded secretly.

As Zhao Changqiang was talking, he took out a white envelope from his pocket, handed it to Old Man Zhao, and said, "Old man, this is 2000 yuan, and it's a little bit of my personal interest. You must accept it, Tian Cheng didn't Well, you two old people don't have any source of income in the future, so you must keep this money. Brother Tian Cheng's pension and family benefits, I will definitely solve it for you as soon as possible."

"No, no! County Magistrate Zhao, we would be very grateful if you came to send Tiancheng off in person. How can we accept your money! We can't ask for it!" said the old man Zhao, vigorously The money was pushed back into Zhao Changqiang's hands.

"County Zhao, we can't ask for your money! Tiancheng has been a policeman for half his life, and he hasn't collected a single penny from others. If we ask for your money, he won't forgive us even under the nine springs!" Zhao Tiancheng's mother Also said anxiously.

Just when Zhao Changqiang didn't know how to persuade Zhao Tiancheng's parents to take the money, the sixty-year-old man who served as a knower came over and said: "Old Zhao, this is the wish of the county magistrate Zhao, and it's not black money. Just accept it." .”

While speaking, the sixtieth old man took the money from Zhao Changqiang, and then forced it into the hands of old man Zhao.Then he said: "County Zhao, please come here for tea."

A small table was placed in the southwest corner of the yard, with teapots and tea bowls on it. It was originally used for guests to rest and drink tea while waiting for the banquet, but due to the small number of guests, the small table was useless at all.

Accompanied by the old man Zhike, Zhao Changqiang walked to the small table, and Zhang Liwu followed.

"Zhang Liwu, what did you do? Why don't you even have a mourning band?" Zhao Changqiang said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Liwu smiled bitterly and said: "I have found several, but they dare not come at all!"

Grief and indignation appeared on the face of the sixtieth old man, and he said: "It's no wonder that those mourning bands, even the folks in the village dare not come, let alone them! When I came, my wife stopped me She didn't dare to say more after being severely reprimanded by me. The old man won't believe it, the sky is bright and the sky is bright, and those villains are lawless!"

"Don't worry, old man, those people will not be dancing for a few days. Zhang Liwu, you go invite the mourning band now. We will pay double the price, just say that I, Zhao Changqiang, will be their bodyguard here. After Zhao Tiancheng's funeral is over , the police will provide them with 24-hour protection until all those criminals are caught! Old man, please, please also inform the villagers in the village, and call me the people from the two committees of the village. Brother Tiancheng’s funeral is already a If we can't bury brother Tian Cheng in a glorious manner, we will lose this round!" Zhao Changqiang said heavily.

As soon as Zhao Changqiang said this, not only the sixtieth old man, but even Zhang Liwu was taken aback. He immediately said, "Provide them with 24-hour protection? Until all the criminals are caught? County Chief Zhao, our police force is simply not enough!"

"You don't need to worry about the police force. In addition, inform Shan Shitao that all the leaders of the police station who are not on business trips will come to me! Otherwise, don't blame me, Zhao Changqiang, for wearing shoes for him in the future! Do as I tell you!" Said in an unquestionable tone, between the words, the whole body is full of strong domineering!

"Yes!" Zhang Liwu agreed, and called a brother to leave the yard.He has already made up his mind, even if he is tied up today, he will also tie up those mourning bands!

"Thank you County Magistrate Zhao!" The sixtieth old man gave a deep salute to Zhao Changqiang, and then left.

The fact that the county magistrate Zhao came to attend Zhao Tiancheng's funeral in person quickly spread throughout Shanglin Village. The reason why those fathers and villagers did not dare to come was because they were afraid of those villains who spoke out. Now that the magistrate is backing them, they Naturally, they let go of the fear in their hearts, and some with money and ghost papers rushed to Zhao Tiancheng's yard one after another.

The secretary of the village committee and the director of the village even rushed over immediately. They are usually qualified to meet the director of the street office. Now that the county magistrate is here, it is time for them to show their faces. As for those bad guys If it is released, they don't care anymore. The police are protecting them 24 hours a day, and they are still afraid of them being a bird!

In less than 10 minutes, Zhao Tiancheng's home suddenly became lively, and the [-]-year-old man who served as an intellectual was also completely busy. Under his auspices, a simple funeral committee was quickly established, welcoming guests, boiling water, grocery shopping

Three desks were quickly set up outside the gate of the courtyard. The three gentlemen sat inside the desks and spread out the funeral books bound with white paper. Every villager or relative who brought gifts came here to register the gifts first, and then there was Special personnel led them to the tea shed to drink tea and wait for the funeral feast.

Zhang Liwu found three mourning bands in one breath, and the gongs and drums were set up outside the gate, beating, playing and playing the mourning music.Whenever a guest offers incense, the long tuba will sound at the right time.

The leaders of the county bureau also came, and after offering incense, they sat down with Zhao Changqiang.Zhao Changqiang looked at the busy crowd, and felt a little comforted in his heart.

Director Shan Shitao didn't come. After getting Zhao Changqiang to hold a funeral for Zhao Tiancheng, this guy ran to the office of county party secretary Zong Weiyang.

"Secretary Zong, what do you think County Magistrate Zhao is doing? Now, from the central government to the local government, everyone is advocating frugality in red and white business affairs. Isn't Zhao Changqiang committing crimes against the wind! He wants to let all the bureau leaders go over! The bureau is so busy, isn't he directing blindly?" Shan Shitao said indignantly.

"Nonsense! It's nonsense! What does he think he is the county magistrate? Is he the secretary of the brigade? Or a township cadre?" Zong Weiyang said with a pale face.He realized that through Zhao Changqiang's manipulation of this matter, he might improve his status in the officialdom of Pingchuan County.

Zong Weiyang began to call Zhao Changqiang: "Zhao Changqiang, what on earth do you want to do? Don't you know that the central government is making repeated orders to simplify red and white affairs? Don't you know that the superior is prohibiting Baigong from inviting bands? The central government sings a different tune! Come back quickly, and disband the mourning band you invited!"!!
