The official way of rebirth

The next day, Tang Yi went through the discharge procedures early. When Chen Ke came to pick him up, he had already packed his things. In fact, there was nothing to pack, except for some toiletries that he stuffed into a black leather bag.

Chen Ke still wore the same elegant and elegant outfit, with an extra light yellow windbreaker on, which slightly covered her exquisite and attractive curves.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days, Xiao...Xiao Chen..." Tang Yi said the word Xiao Chen with difficulty, feeling unspeakably awkward in his heart, but Chen Ke smiled without saying anything and picked up the

He held a big black leather bag and said with a smile: "Secretary Tang is alone in another place and is not familiar with the place. I have done everything within my duties, so I have nothing to thank you for."

Tang Yi knew that not only the people at the grassroots level, but also the county and city committees knew that he was from the Tang family. Chen Ke's care for him was purely out of concern and had no purpose. What's more, he was in trouble now.

It was too late for others to distance themselves from him, let alone take the opportunity to curry favor with him. Tang Yi couldn't help but have a higher opinion of his godmother. At this time, his godmother had just met his adoptive father, so it was impossible for him to like him.

As an adoptive father, the care he takes for his adoptive father is probably due to a girl’s attentiveness and compassion.

Sure enough, when he was discharged from the hospital, the director of the health center didn't even show his face. After leaving the health center, Tang Yi took a deep breath of fresh air and looked back at the plastic red sticker with "Healing the dying and serving the people" on the glass door of the hospital. It felt like he was in another world.

It feels like I haven’t seen such a slogan with socialist characteristics in a long time.

The town health center is in the westernmost part of Chenjiatuo Town. There are hundreds of households in Chenjiatuo Town. The asphalt road leading to the county seat runs through the entire town. The buildings in the town are dotted around the asphalt road in an orderly manner. Residential houses

They are all bungalows, and only some government units, such as the industrial and commercial police station, are a few two-story buildings.

Just as they set foot on the asphalt road, a hurried shout came from behind. Tang Yi and Chen Ke turned around and saw a little girl in a white nurse uniform hurriedly opened the glass door and ran out, shouting as she ran: "Secretary Tang, Tang

Secretary, wait a moment."

The little girl ran closer, took a few breaths, and then said, "Secretary Tang, your hospital bills haven't been paid yet."

Tang Yi frowned slightly. In 1991, medical care had not yet undergone enterprise-style reforms, especially in a small town. The medical expenses of the town leaders were always recorded and then settled together during the financial summary at the end of the year. Not many people actually paid cash for medical treatment. Now

To settle the matter on his own is obviously because he thinks that he may not be able to escape the fate of being dismissed from public office.

"Hey, Xiaoxia, do you know what you are talking about?" Chen Ke made a pretty face.

"Sister Chen, Secretary Liu didn't sign Secretary Tang's medical expenses, and the dean didn't give any instructions. Please, please don't make it difficult for me, okay?" The little girl's face turned red with anxiety, and tears rolled in her eyes. After all, she was just a little nurse.

, I don’t understand these subtle matters in personnel affairs. I only know that if I don’t receive the hospitalization fee, I may be criticized, and I may even have to pay for it out of my own pocket.

Tang Yi smiled: "Forget it, why bother for her." As he spoke, he took out his wallet and prepared to pay, but Chen Ke stared at his almond-shaped eyes and said loudly: "Xiaoxia, a few hundred yuan can still be a waste."

You? You deserve to be chased out. I am taking care of Secretary Tang these days, and I handle all the medicines. Since there is a fee, why don't you collect it from me? Why are you running out to collect it from Secretary Tang now?" Chen Ke said in a stern tone.

The training made the little nurse's eyes turn red, tears streaming down her face, and she was wiping her tears while choking out something wronged.

"Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" Tang Yi quickly took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his wallet and gave them to the nurse, smiling: "Don't listen to her, you can keep the money, but remember, the invoice must be Send it to me, a few hundred dollars is nothing to you, Miss Chen Ke, but it is a big sum to me."

The little nurse was amused, turned to look at Chen Ke fearfully, said, "Thank you, Secretary Tang," and ran away quickly.

Looking at her back, Tang Yi smiled and shook his head. When he turned around, he saw that Chen Ke was still pouting with an angry look on his face. He felt funny for no reason in his heart. His godmother had always given him the impression of being generous and unfazed by honor and disgrace. She has a bit of the feeling of a noble lady in a big family in ancient times. She never imagined that her godmother more than ten years ago would be such a stupid young man. The contrast is too great. This strange discovery dilutes the depression of being forced into the womb just now. A lot.

"Xiao Chen, is it useful for you to be angry with her?" Tang Yi smiled and shook his head. Xiao Chen's scream was much more natural, because Tang Yi suddenly realized that compared with himself, the godmother in front of him was really a real person. little girl.

Chen Ke curled his lips and said, "What? They are all a bunch of snobs." He flew up and showed off his feet angrily, and kicked a pebble on the roadside far away with his exquisite black leather shoes.

Tang Yidao: "Forget it, are you here to pick me up from the hospital today or are you here to help me fight my injustice?"

Chen Ke then remembered his responsibilities, stuck out his tongue, and said: "Of course I will take you out of the hospital. Secretary Tang, don't worry, things will come to light one day."

Tang Yi didn't say anything. Did the truth come to light? In his own world, Li Wenhe's case was an ironclad case. The label of "torture to extract confessions and death" had been worn on his adoptive father's head for a lifetime. Thinking of Li Wenhe's case, Tang Yi Yi's heart became heavy again.

"Secretary Tang, let's go back." Chen Ke carried the bag and walked ahead. After walking a few steps, he realized that Tang Yi hadn't moved. He turned around and asked in confusion: "Secretary Tang, what's the matter with you?"

Tang Yi thought for a while and said: "Xiao Chen, you go back first, I'll go to Niujia Pu."

Chen Ke was stunned: "Are you going to Li Wenhe's house?"

Tang Yi nodded slightly, his godmother's thinking was still very quick.

Chen Ke frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you. The two of us will take care of each other, and we won't be able to explain things clearly when something happens."

Tang Yi had originally intended to go with her, so he nodded in agreement. After all, he was now "on the receiving end of crime." If he was framed again, he wouldn't be able to get rid of it even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Li Wenhe's case The lessons learned are there.

Niujiapu is not far from Chenjiatuo Town. It is a dirt road of three or four miles. Chen Ke borrowed two bicycles from somewhere. Tang Yi has not ridden this old model cross-beam bicycle for a long time. When he first rode on it, he was really excited. It was a bit awkward, but Chen Ke was very skilled. With her pedaling movements, the delicate lace-up black leather shoes and slightly rolled up light yellow socks were exposed under the white jeans. Tang Yi's heart jumped a few times for no reason when he saw it. , because he immediately remembered how tempting and exciting his godmother's white bare feet exposed in her nightgown were. Strange to say, godmother had always been the object of Tang Yi's lust in the dead of night, but if it was true Tang Yi would not let him have substantial contact with his godmother. This is probably the difference between humans and animals. Everyone has their own moral bottom line, so even if Tang Yi faces Chen Ke , still dare not have the slightest idea of ​​molesting her.

Riding on the bicycle, Tang Yi recalled bit by bit the discussions between his adoptive father and his godmother about the Li Wenhe case. Apparently, more than ten years later, the Li Wenhe case was still an unsolved mystery in the hearts of his adoptive father and his godmother.

Li Wenhe is a villager in Niujiapuzi Village. He was detained by the police station for allegedly posting reactionary slogans on the wall of the town government. He was interrogated by his adoptive father, who was in charge of political and legal affairs, and Chen Dahe, the director of the town police station. The raid lasted all night. On the evening of the next day, he was

There was insufficient evidence to release him. Unexpectedly, he hanged himself from a beam not long after returning home. After an analysis by the forensic doctor of the County Public Security Bureau, he believed that it was suicide and was not suspicious. However, Li Wenhe had many bruises on his body. When he asked about Li Wenhe's wife Ma Jinlian,

She immediately started a quarrel, believing that the police station had tortured him to extract a confession. Li Wenhe couldn't bear the humiliation and went home to commit suicide.

The adoptive father immediately became the target of public siege.

Tang Yi sighed when he thought of this. Fortunately, we are not in the Internet age. Only the leaders of the county party committee are paying attention to this "unjust case". Otherwise, if his adoptive father is put on the Internet, he will definitely become an evil force criticized by netizens.

The adoptive father and godmother did not bear any grudge against Ma Jinlian. A few years later, they even inquired about her orphans and widowed mother. After hearing that she was married to a young man named Chen Dazhuang, they let go of their worries. They were only concerned about Li Wenhe's death.

He couldn't figure it out for any reason. His adoptive father thought that it was probably Director Chen of the police station who executed him after he left for a while. After all, everyone knew how the police station interrogated prisoners in the 1990s. His adoptive father thought that he had not done a good job and was responsible for his death.

He also bears a certain amount of responsibility and has always held great remorse for Ma Jinlian. This is also the main reason why he does not want to continue in the political arena.

Scenes from the past came to mind, but there was no clue about Li Wenhe's case. Tang Yi sighed and could only take one step at a time.

Li Wenhe's home is at the east end of the village. Like all northern rural areas, Li Wenhe's home has three main rooms facing south and north. It is surrounded by a red brick wall and a green iron gate. Not long after the funeral, the iron gate was

There are still some sparse pieces of white paper that have not been torn off.

Tang Yi and Chen Ke parked their bicycles, and Chen Ke walked over and knocked on the door. After a while, the sound of soft footsteps and a slightly hoarse female voice came from the courtyard: "Who is it?"

"Sister Ma, it's me, Xiao Chen." Ma Jinlian was invited by Secretary Liu to solve problems many times, and she became familiar with Chen Ke.

The iron door creaked and someone pulled it open from the inside, revealing a fair-skinned woman's face, which looked quite upright. She was wearing a small floral jacket and looked a bit delicate.

Tang Yi had no impression of her, but he knew that this woman must be Li Wenhe's widow Ma Jinlian. With his current status, he should naturally have seen her, so he walked over and said, "Sister Ma, how are you doing?"

Ma Jinlian's face changed color slightly. Tang Yi thought she would yell at him, but she just said lightly: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Ke rushed to say: "Sister Ma, Secretary Tang is here to visit you to see if you need anything. Let's go into the room and talk." As she spoke, she squeezed in through the crack of the door, and Ma Jinlian said to Chen Ke

He had no choice but to get out of the way. Tang Yi felt funny in his heart. Fortunately, he brought Chen Ke, otherwise it seemed that he would not be able to get through the threshold of Li Wenhe's house. Seeing Chen Ke's daze, it seemed to work well at this time.
