Chapter 245
“Education-wise, if the Revolutionary Committee meets them every day to give them a lecture while also letting them sweep the compound, it will be similar to going to the farm.”
“Is no one sweeping the floor in our compound?” Han Qingsong was a little surprised, “Then we should send a few militiamen on duty.”
Director Jia, “…”
Has… has this matter turned into a cleaning schedule?

“Then we can send them to the farm for them to learn a good lesson,” Han Qingsong’s handsome face was serious and his lips were almost straight. Han Qinghua, who didn’t know how to repent, should be well educated on the farm. Anyway, it was similar to sending the youth to the County for their academics as well.
Director Jia realized that he wasn’t going to understand if one wasn’t frank with him. It looked like Han Qingsong truly had no clue and needed someone to straightforwardly break it to him, but it was frustrating to do so.
He had an idea and called Sun Zhuowen.
Soon, Sun Zhuowen came in, unable to hide the smugness on his face. He would let him say what he wanted to about the matter.
Director Jia gave him a look and asked him to speak.
Sun Zhuowen said to Han Qingsong, “Director Han, although Zhao Jianshe committed theft, he did not succeed and there was no result. This is called an attempt. The higher-ups think that our sentence was a bit heavy, so it would be better to change it to a year of re-education.”
If it was a year, then after ruling out the time taken to prepare and handle other miscellaneous problems, there was actually no use of sending them for labour in the farm.
Han Qingsong said, “I just entered the office and don’t understand the regulations. If so, what does the Director think about the cases that happened in the past decade that were sentenced according to the standard procedures?”
Director Jia laughed awkwardly,”Well, the Public Security Bureau has the final say in handling the case and the Revolutionary Committee is in charge of the administrative economy. Haha, you have the final say,” At this time, the County Court and the Procuratorate were all rather confused, let alone the Commune.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSun Zhuowen’s eyes were agitated. ‘According to standard procedure’? Was Han Qingsong insane? If they were to act according to the standard procedures, Zhao Jianshe would be locked up for ten years. He would even have to be paraded down the streets with a sign that would no doubt be humiliating… How could they do that?!
Han Qingsong glanced at Sun Zhuowen, “It seems that the Director is busy, so we can have Deputy Director Sun pronounce the sentence.”
Then he said to Director Jia, “Should we also hold a meeting with the public about this matter? Otherwise, others would try to imitate the crimes that were done, tainting the security of our community.”
Director Jia hurriedly said, “Director Han, that would not be necessary. You see, we already have a shortage of staff and we will be busy with the autumn harvest in two days. The cadres are going to the countryside to guide the autumn harvest…”
When he said this, the cadres in the office looked at each other in dismay as they hurriedly played their ‘guiding’ role quietly.
Sun Zhuowen’s eyes that were sowed with seeds of resentment solidified the rage angrily as he glared at Han Qingsong intensely to the point where holes seemed to bore.
Han Qingsong merely remained emotionless and bid Director Jia farewell, returning to his own office.
Huang Weizhong said hurriedly, “Minister Han, Minister Zhang of the County Armed Forces Department is calling.”
The Revolutionary Committee of the Commune had a telephone, which was connected to the post office. The call would be transferred from the post office, so it seemed.
