In the Qinggang City Public Security Bureau building, Deputy Director Zhou Tao sat in his office and smoked silently, the ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, and the whole room was full of smoke.

After he knew that this surprise attack on the paper mill had ended in failure and that no evidence of the Yu family's violation of the law had been found, he was completely relieved like a wilted ball.

It's an all-or-nothing plan!

But now that the Yu family has not been caught, then the subsequent plan will not be able to be carried out, which not only betrays the trust of the superiors, but also pushes himself to a dead end.

Last night, he called the secretary above him, and the secretary only told him four words: don't talk nonsense.

Zhou Tao knew that he had given up.

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, he is the deputy director of the public security bureau, but in the eyes of the above, he is just an ordinary chess piece. Now this chess piece has been exposed, has lost its value, and will inevitably become an outcast.

In fact, Zhou Tao has already realized that this is part of the high-level game, since he chose to stand in the team, he has already made plans to further promote and make a fortune, and take a step back to lose his reputation.

However, when it really came to the day of his failure, Zhou Tao deeply felt that the taste of failure was far from being as calm as he imagined.

Yu Zhaoqi's methods, he knows very well, this time Yu Zhaoqi will definitely deal with himself ruthlessly.

Is it to be fired from public office, to go to jail, or to kill yourself?

Although Yu Zhaoqi is just the political commissar of the Public Security Bureau, he does have such means to dispose of himself arbitrarily.

Zhou Tao thought about it all night here, and for the sake of his family, he didn't run away in the end.

In fact, he also understands that the world is so big, but there is no place for him Zhou Tao.

In Qinggang, he is the deputy director of the high-ranking Public Security Bureau, but once he escapes, what is he?

Besides, he only offended Yu Zhaoqi now, and the organization did not convict him, if he fled rashly now, it would be just a joke. After he escaped, Yu Zhaoqi made it more convenient for him to fabricate charges.

Moreover, in his heart, there is another consideration, that is, Xu Yixing, director of the Public Security Bureau.

In the unit, Xu Yixing is the director of the public security bureau and Yu Zhaoqi is the political commissar, although the two have the same administrative level, but the public security bureau is an administrative unit, and the director is higher than the political commissar in terms of power, and all documents of the public security bureau are only signed by the director, and the political commissar does not have that power at all.

However, due to some special reasons, Xu Yixing was killed by Yu Zhaoqi. On the surface, Xu Yixing is still the leader of the Public Security Bureau, but in fact, everyone in the Public Security Bureau knows that Yu Zhaoqi is the real underground public security director!

Zhou Tao thought to himself, Xu Yixing must be unwilling!

If Yu Zhaoqi is allowed to take him down, then Yu Zhaoqi's power and majesty in the Public Security Bureau will definitely be further strengthened, and Xu Yixing's power will be further suppressed!

If Xu Yixing saves himself this time, then he will definitely stand on Xu Yixing's side in the future!

Xu Yixing would have thought of this!

In the midst of these thoughts, Zhou Tao sat on the chair all night.

At half past eight the next morning, there was a knock on the door of Zhou Tao's office.

Zhou Tao thought it was the secretary who came to clean the office, and said angrily: "Come in!"

Zhou Tao extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, closed his eyes, put his hands on his temples and rubbed them gently, this night's meditation made him have a headache!

The door of the office was pushed open, and it was not the secret art that came in, but the director Xu Yixing.

Zhou Tao was suddenly excited, could it be that he was right, Xu Yixing really came to save himself.

"Director Xu......" Zhou Tao stood up excitedly.

Xu Yixing fanned his nose with his hand and said, "Old Zhou, why do you smoke so much?"

"I ...... I'll open the window......" Zhou Tao said and was about to walk towards the windowsill.

"Don't be busy, Old Zhou. Xu Yixing said quietly, "The city government has a meeting, come with me immediately." ”

"The meeting of the city government?" Zhou Tao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Go now?"

Xu Yixing said affirmatively: "Yes, go now, don't clean up." ”

"Okay, let's go. Zhou Tao tidied up his clothes and hurriedly walked over, he was very happy in his heart, Xu Yixing was still thinking about taking himself to the city government for a meeting at this time, this was a signal to paralyze himself!

The two walked in the corridor of the office building, and their passing colleagues greeted them one after another and quickly avoided them.

"Director Xu, what will the city government do?" Zhou Tao asked cautiously.

"I don't know, economic development scheduling meeting. Xu Yixing said casually, seemingly not wanting to talk more.

Recently, there have been a lot of meetings on economic development, almost every day, and Zhou Tao didn't think much about it.

After going downstairs, Xu Yixing took Zhou Tao to a Santana with a civilian license plate in the yard, and said, "Old Zhou, you get in the car first, I still have something to do, so I'll come over immediately." ”

Zhou Tao was very puzzled and asked, "Director Xu, why don't you take our unit's car?"

Xu Yixing didn't explain much, and said, "Old Zhou, you go up first." ”

Zhou Tao saw that there were still a few people in Santana, thinking that people from other units had come here to take him to a meeting, this kind of carpooling thing often happened, and Xu Yixing also said so, so Zhou Tao opened the back door and sat in.

There was also a person sitting in the back seat, and when he saw Zhou Tao coming in, he greeted him: "Director Zhou, hello." ”

Zhou Tao took a closer look, this person was in his forties, with a thin face and a pair of rimless glasses, it was Guo Zhenlong, the director of the investigation department of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Municipal Procuratorate, and couldn't help but shout: "Director Guo, why are you, you are also going to the city government for a meeting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tao suddenly realized what was happening, and the smile that had just bloomed immediately froze on his face!

"Director Zhou, there is something we need you to help us investigate, please cooperate with us. Guo Zhenlong said.

Zhou Tao leaned back on the seat with a dead face, and Santana slowly drove out of the Public Security Bureau.

......

In the southern suburbs of Qinggang City, by the small river where Zhang Zijian often fishes, Zhang Zijian, Xiao Jiang, Wei Hong, and Tou Can sat together to eat grilled fish.

However, compared with the last time Zhang Zijian just came back, the atmosphere of this meeting was very dull.

Just now, Zhang Zijian finally confided the truth to his three brothers, this time back to Qinggang, he is going to sell drugs in Qinggang, and take the three of them to make a lot of money!

The reason why I didn't tell the three of them about this until now is because Zhang Zijian knows the three of them very well.

First of all, Toucan has no problem, as long as he makes money, Toucan doesn't care about what to do, which is why he has been willing to go to Yaozi Street to pimp people in recent years, because the money comes quickly!

Drug trafficking is faster than pimping people to get money, and of course Toucan will readily agree.

The second is Wei Hong.

Although Wei Hong followed him out of the society very early, had countless fights, was injured, and had countless blood on his hands, Wei Hong was not a bad person, and he could even be said to be a good person.

Because Wei Hong never does other bad things except fighting, does not prostitute or gamble, does not take the initiative to bully people, at most he only occasionally brags, bragging about how beautiful a girl he prostitutes, or how much money he won by gambling, but Zhang Zijian knows that Wei Hong has never really prostituted or gambled.

Not only does Wei Hong not have those vices, but he often helps others.

Zhang Zijian alone knew, Wei Hong had seven or eight anonymous donations to several poor high schools, and he also deliberately told the school not to say that it was his donation, because he was afraid that his friends in society would find out about it and laugh at him.

Wei Hong's character, coupled with his relationship with Xiao Jiang, is not sure whether Wei Hong will be willing to sell drugs.

Because Zhang Zijian knows that it must be difficult to persuade Xiaojiang to sell drugs.

Because Xiao Jiang's father often beat his mother because of drug abuse and gambling, and later beat his mother to death by mistake, he went to prison, Xiao Jiang also became an orphan, wandered to Qinggang, and later followed Zhang Zijian.

Over the years, Zhang Zijian knows Xiao Jiang very well, he is a taciturn, ruthless, righteous, and principled person.

There are several aspects, beating women, rape, drugs, and betrayal, which are forbidden areas for Xiao Jiang.

Zhang Zijian was really not sure to open his mouth to Xiao Jiang, so he waited for so long, and almost talked to Yang Qitang, Chen Donghui and Yu Zongxiu before opening up to them.

The results were not much different from what he expected.

Wei Hong first said that there are many opportunities to make money in Qinggang, even if you don't sell drugs, you can still make money, and even if you can't make money, the brothers are very happy together, why do you have to touch this thing? It is harmful, dangerous and great, if you are caught, at least it will be a few decades in prison, and if it is a little heavier, it will be life or death!

Xiao Jiang and Tou Can did not express their position, but Zhang Zijian could see that their intentions were diametrically opposed.

Tou Can was very willing to follow Zhang Zijian to sell drugs, but he also knew that Xiao Jiang was very resistant to drugs, so he didn't say anything.

And Xiao Jiang didn't say a word with an expressionless face, obviously he didn't want to do it.

Zhang Zijian didn't want to give up Xiao Jiang and Wei Hong.

He came back to Qinggang this time, and he didn't bring anyone back, in fact, in the past few years in Southeast Asia, he has no henchmen and no real friends at all, and the people in that place are all deceitful and money-oriented. No matter what it is, it's only about money, not feelings.

In Qinggang, several characters he wants to work with, Yang Qitang, Chen Donghui, and Yu Zongxiu, have a large number of henchmen and brothers around him.

Although Zhang Zijian only wants to make money this time and doesn't want to compete for hegemony, he also has a few henchmen around him.

It's too difficult to find a henchman again, and after drug trafficking, it's hard to find a real henchman.

Xiao Jiang, Wei Hong and Tou Can are his most trusted brothers.

Compared with Toucan, Zhang Zijian trusts Xiao Jiang and Wei Hong more, because Toucan takes money too seriously. He understands that anyone who takes money too seriously cannot be fully trusted, because he doesn't know when, this person will bite back for money.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient.

Now, there are really fewer and fewer brothers like Xiao Jiang and Wei Hong.
