Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1433 I'll Bring You Wealth and Prosperity, Li Ke Arrives in Taiyuan (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

"Have you figured out Wang Zhankui's backer?" Fang Yan asked Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi nodded and said:
"Yes, one of his cousins ​​is his backer. This person used to work in the provincial government, but he was transferred away a couple of years ago. However, he still has many protégés and former associates in the local area. Several times before, when someone reported Wang Zhankui, he suppressed it all with his connections."

Fang Yan suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Then there are quite a few people involved, which is indeed not easy to handle."

"So what are your plans now?" Fang Yan asked.

"Start with the easy stuff first, then move on to the difficult stuff!" Zhang Yi said.

"First, we need to exonerate Li Ke and prove that this was a miscarriage of justice. Once the documents are made public, we can naturally begin investigating the person who framed Li Ke back then, following the established procedures."

"Use this person as a breakthrough point, and tear this hole open little by little."

"If we investigate thoroughly, we'll definitely find something."

Fang Yan nodded upon hearing this. This line of thinking was perfectly correct. In ancient times, when investigating those big corrupt officials, they also started by investigating small matters, which would naturally lead to the discovery of more and bigger things.

“However, this will take time, and it will also require the cooperation of other departments. In addition, his backer has now been transferred to another place, so the trouble is indeed greater than I thought,” Zhang Yi added at this time.

That's true. People may leave, but the relationship remains strong. Old connections are deeply entrenched, so investigating them will definitely be difficult. However, as long as the direction is right, we can always get results by slowly working through them.

But Fang Yan definitely doesn't have time to wait for the results here. It's been four days since he set off, and there are still things waiting for him in the capital.

Fortunately, Li Ke's reputation should be able to be restored.

As for the people involved, we'll leave it to Zhang Yi. As I always say, leave professional matters to professionals.

Then Zhang Yi said to Fang Yan:

“I need to keep an eye on this matter myself, so I can’t come back to the capital with you.”

Fang Yan was taken aback; this meant he had also said what Fang Yan had said.

He smiled and said:

"Your business here is more important."

Zhang Yi also smiled and shook his head:
"It's a pity that I'll be worried again when I take the plane next. I was hoping to go back with you and enjoy the feeling of sleeping soundly until we land one more time."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan immediately responded:
“This is easy. I’ll teach your secretary the acupressure techniques. Once he learns them, you can have him massage you wherever you go.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi's eyes immediately lit up, and he said to Fang Yan:

"OK!"

Then he added:

"Um... I just don't know how difficult this technique is to learn? My secretary has no medical experience."

He said in dialect:

"It's alright, there are only a few acupoints, they're easy to find. It's more about mastering the technique, rhythm, and pressure of pressing."

Zhang Yi nodded, then immediately waved to his secretary. He usually had several secretaries around him, with someone always on standby.

This time, a slightly younger man was called over. Zhang Yi said to him:
"I'm giving you a task: learn a trade from Director Fang."

"Huh?" The young secretary was a little confused.

With this renowned physician from the capital?
He subconsciously looked at Fang Yan, then at Zhang Yi, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The boss really does come up with all sorts of crazy ideas...

Seeing the other person's awkwardness, Fang Yan smiled and stood up.
"Don't be nervous, comrade. It's very simple. It's just a few acupressure techniques to calm the nerves. Your Director Zhang will find it useful when he flies in the future."

"Director Fang, I... I haven't studied medicine either, is it okay?" The young secretary nervously rubbed her hands, her face slightly flushed.

"It's not difficult. Just find the right spot and apply the right amount of pressure. Your Director Zhang tends to get nervous and anxious when flying, mainly because he's restless. Massaging these acupoints will help: Shen Ting will calm the mind, Tai Yang will relieve headaches, Bai Hui will invigorate the brain, and Feng Chi will relieve neck and shoulder fatigue and help you sleep. Combining these acupoints will help you relax."

Then, in a dialectal tone, he added meaningfully:

"He'll probably be taking a lot of flights in the future, and I'll be troubling you with that."

This is practically a blatant invitation to bestow wealth and honor upon you.

The other party wasn't stupid; they immediately understood that if they learned this trick, they would become the leader's favorite.

He immediately stopped saying he couldn't learn it and instead said:
"Alright, for the sake of the boss, I have to learn this!"

See? Smart people understand immediately.

Then Fang Yan started teaching him how to find acupoints, and then taught him massage techniques. Zhang Yi watched from the side and simply let Fang Yan demonstrate on his secretary's head. Anyway, he would be doing it on his secretary's head later, and he had stayed up late last night, so his head was a little uncomfortable. It would be good for Fang Yan to massage him too.

Fang Yan didn't refuse and went over to use Zhang Yi's head as a teaching tool.

As he massaged, the old man's eyelids became uncontrollable, and he fell asleep in no time.

He was really tired; now that he's had a massage, he's sleepy as soon as he relaxes.

Seeing this, Fang Yan slowed down her pace, then gently withdrew her fingers, letting the old man fall asleep. Now that the room was heated, she wasn't worried about him catching a cold.

Then Fang Yan took his young secretary aside and continued teaching.

After teaching for about half an hour, Fang Yan had his secretary try it on his head. After correcting some of his techniques, it finally looked decent. The next step was to practice the feel of the technique repeatedly.

Just then, someone came to report that Li Ke had arrived!
Zhang Yi was also woken up by the person who reported it. He was surprised that he had actually been put to sleep. He looked at his watch and realized that he had been asleep for almost an hour, which startled him.

Quickly call someone to bring Li Ke in.

He then asked his secretary:

How's your studies going?

“I’ve already learned it!” the young secretary replied.

The dialect also says:
"He learns very quickly, why don't you give him a try?"

Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"Never mind, we have important business to attend to."

At this point, Li Ke had already been brought in.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Yan, and his tense expression immediately relaxed.

He's terrified of being tricked; he's really afraid someone has set a trap for him.

Although the possibility was very low, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild before he saw the dialect.

"Comrade Li Ke, please sit down!" Fang Yan greeted him.

"Director Fang!" Li Ke walked over, still looking a little uneasy, as there were just too many people in this place.

"You must be tired from the journey!" Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder, trying to help him relax.

He then pointed to Zhang Yi opposite him and said:
"This is Director Zhang Yi from Beijing, whom I told you about. He specializes in handling cases like yours."

Li Ke quickly called out to Zhang Yi:
"Hello, Director Zhang! I am Li Ke!"

Zhang Yi rubbed his eyes, quickly took a sip of tea to refresh himself, and then said:
"We've called you here to verify a few things, then process the paperwork for you, issue a formal document to your workplace and location to restore your reputation, and update your personnel file."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke's lips trembled violently. He glanced at Fang Yan, and the whole thing sounded somewhat unreal.

Fang Yan said to him:
"Listen to Director Zhang, he's the one who will uphold justice for you."

Upon hearing this, Li Ke took a deep breath and asked somewhat nervously:
"Then...how can I cooperate?"

Seeing his nervous expression, Zhang Yi felt a pang of sympathy and softened his tone:

"Comrade Li Ke, don't be nervous. You've suffered injustice all these years. We've investigated the matter thoroughly overnight. The case files and witness testimonies are all complete. It's a genuine miscarriage of justice. We've called you here today to verify the facts and restore your rightful reputation as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he instructed a staff member to hand the prepared materials to Li Ke:

"Take a look at these. Is this the true situation from back then? Are there any omissions or discrepancies?"

Li Ke's breathing became noticeably heavier. He reached out with trembling hands to take the materials and then flipped through them page by page.

The document contained testimonies from people he knew, statements from officials in the area where he was detained, and copies of the interrogation records.

With each page he read, his emotions grew stronger, his breathing became heavier, yet he read with exceptional focus.

After seeing that he had finished reading, Zhang Yi said:

"Try to recall the details inside. If there's anything you need to add, add it little by little. This is very important because it involves a lot of people, so there can't be any oversights, understand?"

Li Ke nodded, then began pointing to the materials above and started talking.

For the next hour or so, Li Ke recounted events from the previous twenty years, piecing together the details of the entire story bit by bit.

Fang Yan also understood more clearly how he had offended Wang Zhankui's relatives back then.

P.S.: I still owe you 13000 words after finishing this chapter. There will be more this afternoon.
