Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 125: Announce in front of all the ancestors to go to war with Hongtai!
Chen Guihe explained the reason on the phone.

"There's a thief in the family. Uncle Zhongming, the village's financial manager, gambled away all the public accounts of the village winery. A full eight million!"

"Grandpa was furious and said he would punish her severely!"

After hearing the whole story, Chen Shixian hung up the phone.

His eyes narrowed slightly. So that's it.

Generally, there will be some clan properties in the village, such as mountains, forests, land, houses, clan fields, industries, etc.

These are usually taken care of by grandpa and the respected uncles and aunts in the village.

Usually one person is chosen to be in charge of accounting and another to be in charge of finances, and they work together to manage the accounts and money.

Chen Zhongming is one of the financial managers.

The village winery is under his management.

I didn't expect him to be so bold as to embezzle 8 million yuan from the public account and use the family property to gamble.

No wonder grandpa was so angry that he wanted to open the ancestral hall and enforce family rules.

"I have something to do, so I have to go back to the village."

Chen Shixian picked up the coat on the hook, put it on, and gave instructions to Qiu Gangao and others.

"Brother Xian, are you going alone?"

Bakuju naturally followed suit and stood up, asking.

"Look at me, can half of me go?"

Chen Shixian joked.

Baozhu chuckled and obediently handed the key to Chen Shixian.

Chen Shixian picked up the car keys and walked out.

You can ask someone to drive the car when you go to see grandpa.

It is inappropriate to bring outsiders to the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, as outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the ancestral hall.

Bringing someone to drive the car may also be seen as showing off.

Chen Shixian drove his brand new black Mercedes-Benz straight to the walled village.

On the way, we passed by the village winery.

I found that the winery seemed to have just experienced a riot. It was a mess. The roadside was blocked by some cleaning tools, and several aunts were cleaning it up.

"Aunt Yue'e?"

It was still early, so Chen Shixian stopped the car, rolled down the window, looked at the somewhat familiar face, and greeted him.

Aunt Yue'e was his former neighbor.

Normally, he does not have to pass through the residential area of the village when going to the base, and the base has its own independent courtyard, so he rarely meets villagers.

"Xian, Xianzi!"

"you are back!"

Aunt Yue'e raised her head, was surprised at first, then smiled warmly and brightly.

Looking at Chen Shixian, who was dressed in a suit and driving a Mercedes-Benz, I almost couldn't recognize him.

It is rare to see such luxurious cars in the village.

She walked forward, feeling a little overwhelmed. She wanted to touch the car, but was afraid of damaging it, so she said awkwardly, "Xianzi, it seems you have really become rich and now drive a Mercedes-Benz."

"You are so impressive. Your name is everywhere on TV and in newspapers. If you donate 3 million, you will be the winner."

"The net worth is at least over 100 million."

Chen Shixian politely opened the car door and got out, saying with a smile, "Is the rumor spreading outside so weird now?"

"Yes, that's the rumor in the village."

"A lot of young people now regard you as their idol and want to hang out with you."

"Haha." Chen Shixian laughed perfunctorily and said lightly, "What?"

"I don't run a temple or a hall, so there's nothing to do."

There are aunts and young girls and wives working in the intelligence department at the entrance of the village who are doing the propaganda.

Even if a dog passes by, you can catch it and say a few words about it. If it gets fat, it can be said to be a conviction, and if it is cheated, it can be said to be a fraud.

It is now said that he is worth over 100 million yuan, but in a few days it may be said that he has several wives and sons.

"Yes, a village boy with no education, how can he join a formal company like yours?"

"Some villagers working in the winery have protested several times because they haven't received their wages for half a year."

"In the end, they all went to join the club."

"Like my useless kid, who follows a useless boss and only knows how to fight and kill."

Aunt Yue'e's eyes turned red as she spoke, feeling sad.

"Are you talking about the youngest one?"

Chen Shixian had some vague impressions in his mind and asked.

"Yes, black fly head."

Aunt Yue'e nodded.

Chen Shixian instantly remembered the little kid who used to follow him around in open-crotch pants when they were little, competing to see who could pee higher.

This kid may not be good at anything else, but he is loyal and his ability to curse is first-rate, even better than that of a blasting bead.

He laughed and said, "I know, it's the black fly head who always tells people to 'eat shit'!"

"That's right, he is the one."

Aunt Yue'e's face lit up, and she sighed, "This bad boy has been away for several years and hasn't come back. I haven't seen him at all."

"Xianzi, I know I shouldn't bother you, but if there is a chance and you can help him, please help."

"I'm afraid he'll end up getting chopped to death outside, and no one will collect his body."

"Okay!" Chen Shixian agreed straightforwardly: "We are all from the same village. You took care of me when we were young. Don't be so formal."

"If my younger brother can lend a hand, I will definitely lend him a hand."

"Thank you, Xianzi. I feel relieved after hearing your words."

Sister Yue'e thanked him profusely and was almost about to kneel down and kowtow to him.

"Okay, Aunt Yue'e, Grandpa is looking for me. I'm going to the ancestral hall first. We can talk later."

After Chen Shixian finished speaking, he immediately got into the car.

The aunts and daughters-in-law who were cleaning the winery immediately cleared the objects blocking the road to allow the car to pass smoothly.

"It's a Mercedes-Benz sedan, it's really cool, Xianzi has really made it!"

"I don't know if he is married yet. I'd like to introduce my daughter Xixili to him."

"Come on, Sixth Aunt, he's a big boss now. He has money and connections. If he wants to marry someone, he'll marry a rich lady. Your Xixili is just a little slut. Stand aside."

……

Looking at Chen Shixian, who was dressed in a suit and tie and returned home in glory, the aunts' eyes lit up, and they smelled the exhaust fumes and talked about it.

Some young girls and wives looked at the car driving away and let their imagination run wild.

After a delay, when Chen Shixian arrived at the ancestral hall, a large crowd of people had gathered outside. The Chen's Ancestral Hall, a building that carries the family's glory and history, stands proudly, silently telling the glory and vicissitudes of the Chen family.

The architectural design of the ancestral hall is ingenious, combining traditional and modern beauty.

The main body is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, which is simple and solemn, with flying eaves and upturned corners, and vermilion-painted red doors.

Above the door lintel, there is a plaque hanging high, on which are written the four characters "Chen Shizong Temple" in golden characters, with powerful strokes and shining brilliance.

The ancestral hall can be said to be the most luxurious and grand building in the entire village, except for grandpa’s mansion.

Normally, all weddings and funerals in the village are held in the ancestral hall.

Chen Shixian greeted several elders and walked into the inner hall.

In the hall, tablets of ancestors from past generations are enshrined.

There are also several black lacquered wooden boxes containing clan rules, ancestral teachings, family tree, etc.

In the hall, Grandpa Chen Tianyuan, wearing exquisite gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and a solemn and simple black silk shirt with buttons, sat in the main seat.

Sitting symmetrically on both sides is the clerk Chen Xinwen. His duties are similar to those of the White Paper Fan Society. He is familiar with the ancestral etiquette and is the village's penman.

The others included the village's magistrate Chen Xinli, the criminal justice chief Chen Gui, and some respected uncles and uncles.

"Grandpa!"

Chen Shixian walked forward and greeted him politely.

"Xianzi, you are here, sit down."

When Grandpa saw Chen Shixian come in, he nodded slightly and looked for a seat.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Chen Shixian thanked him and sat down in the lowest seat with confidence.

He is young and of low generation, but the fact that he has a position shows that grandpa values him very much.

Many uncles and elders who were older than him could only stand.

"let's start!"

Grandpa sat on the armchair with a stern face, and nodded to Chen Gui in the Punishment Hall.

Chen Guihe immediately stood up and clapped his hands.

The brothers from the criminal hall immediately brought up Chen Zhongming, the financial manager.

Chen Zhongming had gray hair on his temples and a haggard face. He looked to be in his fifties. He was kneeling on the ground in a jacket and could not help trembling.

He knew very well what the consequences would be if he violated the clan rules.

The punishment may be light, such as flogging; severe, such as beating to death and expulsion from the family tree.

"After investigation, it was found that Chen Zhongming, the head of the second branch, misappropriated 8 million yuan of public funds, neglected his duties, and engaged in corruption. He violated the rules of our Chen family and betrayed the etiquette and laws of our ancestors."

"According to our ancestral family rules, he should be punished with 100 lashes and expelled from the Chen family."

"Please show me, Grandpa!"

Clerk Chen Xinwen looked at everyone, announced the guilt, and then looked at Grandpa.

"Chen Zhongming has betrayed his clan and damaged the interests of the Chen family. His behavior is egregious and he is unable to make amends."

"Given the huge amount of money involved and the fact that he knowingly broke the law, we will immediately enforce the family rules as a punishment!"

Grandpa held the armchair with his hands, his eyes were stern, and his tone was sonorous and forceful, leaving no room for doubt.

When Chen Zhongming heard his grandfather's decision, he turned pale with fright. He was determined to be beaten to death with a hundred lashes.

He knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face, begging for mercy: "Grandpa, I was wrong, please forgive me once and give me a chance to make it up!"

"Rules are rules. If you break the clan rules, you must pay the price!"

Grandpa's expression was serious, without any sign of leniency.

"Please, Grandpa!"

"I was also tricked by Hongtai's scheme. I swear I will never gamble again!"

"Just give me one chance, and I will change my ways!"

Chen Zhongming struggled and howled as he was dragged out by his brothers in the execution hall for execution.

Chen Shixian raised his eyebrows slightly, Hongtai?

Hong Tai is considered a second-rate society in Hong Kong Island. It is also a century-old society, and its president is Chen Mei.

I didn't expect that such a big club would actually do such despicable things.

It's so tasteless to set a trap to cheat people.

What a pity! Uncle Zhongming worked hard all his life, but ended up like this.

Gambling is harmful!
"Grandpa, please spare my life considering that I have worked hard for the village for half my life, even if I have no credit for it!"

Chen Zhongming struggled frantically, trying to resist, begging constantly.

"Uncle Zhongming, stop howling. Your life in exchange for eight million is a bargain for you!"

"If you don't like gambling, how can Hongtai set up your game?"

Chen Guihe shouted coldly, and waved to the brothers in the Xing Hall, "Do it!"

Soon, Chen Zhongming was taken out. The howling sounds coming from outside made people's scalps tingle.

After more than ten minutes, the sound gradually weakened and disappeared. It seemed that he had no breath.

In the walled village, grandpa is the one who calls the shots.

Here, Grandpa is the heaven, the law, and the reason.

Chen Shixian truly experienced this point.

After a while, Chen Guihe walked up and whispered something in Grandpa's ear.

Grandpa picked up the teacup on the square table, took a sip of warm tea, cleared his throat, and looked around at everyone.

"A clan has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. This is the fate of those who betray their ancestors' etiquette and laws!"

The sound is deafening and very intimidating.

"Why are the police afraid to intervene in the walled villages and the social groups afraid to come in and act arrogantly?"

"That's because everyone listens to Grandpa. No matter what natural or man-made disasters we encounter, we don't need to be afraid. Grandpa will lead us to bear the burden and face it together!"

"We are all one, no one dares to look down on us!"

Grandpa paused, then continued confidently:

“But this time, Hongtai stepped on our Chen’s head and pissed and shit!”

"Chen Mei dares to extend his hand to our village. Does he think that he doesn't care about the reputation of our Chen family?!"

"This is destroying the name of my grandfather and slapping our Chen family in the face!"

"Just let Hongtai go like this and pretend nothing happened. Our Chen family ancestors can't even hold their heads up in the afterlife!"

"In short, today I declare in front of our ancestors that I will go to war with Hongtai!"

"At all costs, overthrow Chen Mei's army and destroy Hong Tai!"

(Tough guy, Brother Wufei!)
