Chapter 234

Han Qingsong said, “He is the mastermind, so according to the regulations, he would at least need to serve a five-year sentence.”

If this happened a few years ago, where times were more chaotic and less orderly, ten years might have been possible as well.

Sun Zhuowen’s expression changed and he couldn’t help sneering, “Director Han, you don’t have to hold on to his crimes so tightly. As for Han Qinghua…”

“Han Qinghua read reactionary books privately and the books came from Zhao Jianshe. Zhao Jianshe also led a group of people to attempt burglary in the middle of the night, but the news came from Han Qinghua. These two people…”

Sun Zhuowen couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. If he were to sentence Zhao Jianshe without sentencing his brother, then he would be favouring one over the other and misusing his power. However, if the situation was vice versa, he would be said to be merciless towards his own family!

At this time, there was not really a legal concept, so the Revolutionary Committee had the final say. As long as the bad elements of the Commune were not on death row, there was no need to apply for the County’s interference as the Commune could punish them by themselves. A few years ago, even when many people were beaten to death innocently, there was no need to make a formal request to the County.

The County sent Han Qinghua back to maintain Han Qingsong’s reputation.

At this moment, the Director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune said that he didn’t care and would let the Public Security Bureau take care of it. Naturally, it was Han Qingsong who had the final say.

Han Qingsong’s expression did not change, “For five years, send him to Shanshui Farm.”

Shanshui Farm was located in the most remote valley of the Commune. Being heavily guarded by soldiers, it was hard to escape.

The prisoners detained there, in addition to having to farm daily, were also transferred to repair canals, roads, etc. Of course, they also need to have meetings to receive criticism and education. As they were guarded by a regular army unit, they were not prone to violent and brutal acts of violence like the situations in a Brigade in the countryside. Generally speaking, they were guaranteed to make it out alive.

It was a place for reform through labour, so the lazy and greedy were the most suitable types of offenders to go.

This kind of labour reform farm was very different from the previous prisons. Many of them were so-called political prisoners and cultural people, so the common folk did not discriminate against them. They only participate in labour, study, education, etc. in the local labour reform. Besides, they were able to reform, learn, get married and have a family.

Hearing what Han Qingsong said, Sun Zhuowen’s eyes widened. He looked at the Director as if he had gone insane.

His own brother!

When a family member committed a crime, one would take the initiative to plead for their mercy. He, on the other hand, took the initiative to send his own younger brother to labour reform.

Has he gone crazy?

Did being a soldier for so long ruin the nerves of his brain cells?

Sun Zhuowen couldn’t understand him, but he did understand that it was his own bad luck to have to serve such a Director.

However, he was also secretly happy as the Director was seeking death himself. Since he wasn’t going to leave the County with a good reputation, if they came knocking on the Public Security Bureau’s doors one day, Director Han was going to be the one at fault. Whatever happens, as long as he was not involved, that would be sufficient.

Han Qingsong looked up at them, “What’s wrong?”

Huang Weizhong hurriedly said, “Director Han is right— according to the regulations, he has to be sentenced this way.”
