Iron Bull Legend

Just when Tie Niu was teasing the big cat and Tan Tou under the big tree, a figure approached Tie Niu. Tie Niu raised his head in time and saw that it was Mr. Guo walking towards him silently.

"Tie Niu, just now the military and the civil affairs department of the municipal government discussed burying the master in..." Mr. Guo was a little speechless when he said this, because in this family, only he, Lao Huazi, Mr. Bai and Tie Niu knew the true identity of Mr. Tong.

"Grandpa, that's not possible. His identity is special and that place must never be desecrated. Otherwise, we can say it was his last wish and we have already found a burial location. Grandpa, others feel uncomfortable with my opinion. After all, that is where our hero rests. Please forgive me, Grandpa." Tie Niu expressed his opinion without any hesitation.

"Well, that's why I came here to discuss this matter with you. I know that although he has done a lot of things and saved many people over the years, he did those things to hide his identity. Only a few of us know about this. However, we can't let him go to the place where our ancestors sacrificed their lives and disturb them. Grandpa knows this very well and he won't be confused." Mr. Guo's eyes were bloodshot and his voice sounded so cold in the night.

"Grandpa, as your grandson, I am very pleased that you think this way. Let's put it this way. Just say that this is what Grandpa Tong talked to me about privately when he was reborn. Tomorrow I will take people to Beishankou to find a place with good feng shui as his resting place."

"Okay, let's do this. I believe they will keep this secret until they die. They are doing this for my sake. Well, you say..." Mr. Guo suddenly couldn't continue. His sobbing sounded so helpless in the dark night.

"Grandpa, please take care of yourself. I have also thought about it. You can burn some paper money and light some incense in the evening and then go back to rest. After all, you are old. I will take you to keep vigil at night. This is the gift from your grandson. Don't argue with me," Tie Niu said at the moment when Mr. Guo was wiping his eyes.

"Okay, but you've been through so much hardship on this journey, are you okay?"

"Grandpa, I'm in good health. I slept all the way on the plane. In Shaula, I had nothing to do every day except eating and drinking. This time I went out more comfortably than the last time. I was so idle that my balls were bored. Haha." Tie Niu deliberately spoke in a light-hearted manner to dispel Mr. Guo's concerns.

"Well, you just have to work harder at night. If there's anything, just let me know. Also, the military has arranged soldiers to help here. It would be great if there wasn't that problem."

"Don't think too much, Grandpa, you have to take care of yourself. I won't leave this time when I come back. From now on, I will stay at home to accompany you and aunt. I have made you worry about me for so many years. Sometimes I think that I really owe you too much," Tie Niu said emotionally.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are a child and it is time for you to do great things. Don't be so nagging. Our bodies can still last for a few more years. Nothing will happen. As long as you do a good job in your career and feel comfortable, we will be at ease. Grandpa knows that you are a person who can do great things. Don't waste your energy here."

Mr. Guo knew Tie Niu's personality and work, and he became a little angry when he heard what the kid said. After all, he is now the mayor of Yangcheng, and it is time for him to work hard for the country, and he cannot delay.

"Grandpa, I have already reported this matter to the leader, and he agreed. I have been studying at the Beijing Party School for the past few years, and the Youth League Committee has arranged a sinecure for me, which is really good. It is time for me to settle down. I can't just wander around outside every day and end up accomplishing nothing."

"It's good this way. You've grown up by being able to recognize your current situation. Your grandfather and I have discussed this matter. You are only eighteen years old this year, and at this age you've become the mayor of a provincial capital city. It's okay in the short term because of the city's development. But if, after you stabilize, someone will use this to make a fuss, it will be very detrimental to your development." Mr. Guo said softly.

"Thank you for your hard work on my behalf, Grandpa. I also thought of this. Besides, Grandpa has already risen to that position, which is what everyone wants. If I were the mayor now, people would use this to say that we have some ulterior motives. So, I also took this into consideration and didn't want to embarrass Grandpa. After all, Grandpa has been wronged for so many years. In the past, the Jiang family's interference had delayed Grandpa's upward momentum. This time, we must not let Grandpa have any regrets."

"Have you considered all these in advance?" Mr. Guo stared at Tie Niu in surprise.

"In fact, you should have seen from Taigong's face that his official star is moving and cannot be stopped. The only thing to do is to guide it according to the trend. I have done my best to push it forward. The leaders above can also see it very clearly."

"Alas, an old man like me is not as clear-sighted as a young man like you. Tieniu, you are right. You are also thinking about the future of China. Your grandfather can do more in that position, which is much more important than your position as the mayor of Yangcheng. It is good for you to come back and stay quiet for a few years to accumulate strength for another rise. What can we do to help you?"

"You don't need anything, Grandpa. As long as you are happy, I will be satisfied. I have been wandering around for so many years, and it has caused a lot of worry to my family."

"Kid, you always think about others. In the future, when no one at home has anything to do, you can go and do your work without any worries. We have your aunt and a few old guys at home, so you should go ahead and do it boldly. That's what young people should do. Otherwise, you will regret it."

"Okay, Grandpa, I get it. Let's go to the front. This matter must be put on the table as soon as possible. But Grandpa, I'm sorry to have wronged you," Tie Niu said to Mr. Guo with a slightly guilty look.

"Kid, don't say that. His problems and the blisters on his feet were all his own fault. Although it is said that when a person dies, his debts are wiped out, he still has to take responsibility for his actions. Although the outside world doesn't know his true identity now, there is no wall that is impenetrable. We should also consider it in advance."

"Grandpa, it's good that you understand. I will find him a cemetery with good feng shui, so that he will not do evil things in his next life and be a good person," Tie Niu sighed.

The two of them walked and talked as they came to the central hall in front, because all the members of the funeral committee were discussing the funeral arrangements for Grandpa Tong here. After all, the military and government departments above had handed this matter over to them.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, they were stared at by the old man. The worry in his eyes was directly consulted by Tie Niu. He was also worried about burying Old Man Tong in that place. He felt relieved when he saw Tie Niu nod.

"Let me introduce you all. This is Tie Niu, my successor. Some of you may know his public office. He is now the mayor of Yangcheng City. He came back this time because of the old man's funeral. We just chatted for a while and learned about the old man's previous arrangements. Now, let Tie Niu tell you about it," said Grandpa Guo after everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Are you Mayor Tie Niu? The youngest official at the department level in China?" A middle-aged man in his forties was so surprised that he stood up from his chair and hurriedly came forward with his hands stretched out.

"Hello..." Tie Niu also stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, then said to everyone: "Hello everyone, I am Tie Niu, I just rushed back after hearing about the old man's situation. Grandpa Guo just told me about the old man's situation, and I reported to him in detail what I knew, because before the old man fell ill, he talked to me about the arrangements for his funeral. At that time, the old man was not ill yet, and his mind was very clear. Maybe he realized that there was something wrong with his body..." Tie Niu told everyone everything he knew. In fact, this was also discussed with Mr. Guo.

"Tong Lao was truly a noble person. She did so much for the people, yet she was so simple in her affairs after her death. Not only did she not hold a grand funeral, but she also kept everything simple and left the place there for heroes. In this respect, she is a role model for us to learn from," said the middle-aged man with a serious expression.

"Well, what you said is also the old man's true thoughts. So, when grandpa sighed with me just now, I remembered all this. So, in order to fulfill the old man's last wish and let him pass away peacefully, I rushed over to announce this matter to everyone. I also hope that everyone can give some support to the old man's last wish and don't let him down."

"In that case, let's quickly send out the obituary and let Tong Lao's relatives and friends know about his death so they can come and pay their respects and bid him farewell." The middle-aged man was very efficient and directly conveyed the government's attitude to the funeral committee.

Other military officials and Mr. Guo made the final decision on this matter on behalf of the family, which was to ask friends and Mr. Tong’s disciples to come and pay their respects, say their final farewells, complete the last ceremony of life, and finish the last journey.

Tie Niu also wanted to use this incident to get to know more about Mr. Tong's background, because his special identity was known to only a few people like Tie Niu. So, who on earth were Japanese in his circle? Tie Niu did not want to miss this opportunity to test the situation.

If they could identify a group of Japanese spies through this funeral, it would mean that Grandpa Tong had found the last group of enemies hidden in the country for China. Tie Niu would definitely not let go of this opportunity. Only Tie Niu himself knew how powerful the forces behind Tong Lao were.

Such a large number of enemy spies are like a pack of explosives, and even more so a time bomb buried among the people. If it were to be suddenly detonated one day, the ones who would definitely suffer would be the Chinese people and the country. Tie Niu is very reluctant to see such a loss.

In addition, Master Tong's identity is extremely special. This time is also a test of Japan, to test Japan's current attitude towards China. Tie Niu knows that Master Sang is not the highest one. Whether Master Tong is the highest one, the final judgment can only be made after testing.

It is because of his special status that he was able to take the opportunity to do some work and make some preparations.
