Chapter 19: The dragon meets the serpent

"Ahra, Aransig (fuck), is such a coward, he lives by the sea, and he is so wide. Even if he is a dragon, he has to be coiled for me, and even if he is a tiger, he has to lie down for me. Who else dares to beat me for this land?"

Qiao Zhengse has always been arrogant and domineering, and his mouth is big when he eats garlic. Hearing that someone was going to take back his arena, he bounced up from the boss's chair, rested his stomach on the table, slapped the table hard, and pointed at the staff of the county housing and development bureau and roared. Extremely arrogant, unstoppable.

"Brother Qiao, you also know that you used this land illegally in the first place, and you have never paid any fees. Now the county is moving the bazaar, and we didn't plan this land before, but later Abdul Rahman suggested that it should be expanded and requisitioned as a place for cars and horses to stop. Abdul Rahman is a well-known private entrepreneur in our county, and he is responsible for the development of the new bazaar. The two young staff members knew that Qiao Zhengse was not a master to be messed with, and they were weak as if they had not tightened their belts, and their faces showed embarrassment that the king of Hades hated.

Bazaar, which means 'bazaar', is the oldest mall in the world. Maybe there is a Nazha in three steps, a Reba in five steps, and an Alia in the middle who stumbles on everyone's footsteps, Xinjiang girls don't need to show their arms and legs, and a look can seduce people's souls, so the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang love to visit the bazaar.

In Jiangnan County, in addition to the 'Yekexianbai (Sunday) Bazaar' in the county seat, almost every township also has a bazaar, ranging from Monday to Sunday. Earlier, the bazaar was called 'ha

gka

'g bazaar', because most of the pots and pans, silk scarves, cloths, perfumes and grease and other items sold inside are from ha

gka

G came over the imported product.

The Grand Bazaar is just like Taobao, there is only something you can't think of, there is nothing you can't buy, you can eat, wear, use, everything, foreign goods, domestic products, local goods, everything is complete: beautiful and comfortable carpets, simple and elegant clay pottery, a wide variety of flower hats, exquisite and unique musical instruments, gorgeous and dazzling silk, finely carved jewelry, different types of food, fragrant melons and fruits······

"Atasi, come, come, come, don't want money, make friends, welcome to come back next time." "When you come to the dried fruit stall, whether you buy it or not, the stall owner will grab a handful and stuff it into your pocket.

The bazaar is charcoal-grilled, and there are all kinds of roasts: roasted naan, roasted eggs, roasted lamb kidneys, roasted lamb livers, roasted whole sheep, roasted fish, roasted meat, roasted pigeons, roasted whole camels, roasted sheep intestines, roasted lamb hearts, roasted lamb tendons, roasted whole beef, roasted eggplant, roasted artichoke, roasted mushrooms, roasted buns, roasted steamed buns, and ······ The charcoal bakes out the fragrance and smell of Xinjiang, and when you smell the smoke wafting from the oven when you pass by, your lips will not be able to close the hara, and you will go wherever you go.

Xinjiang "roasting" is the originator of "roasting" in the country. In September 1985, the 2,700-year-old roasted lamb chops with red willow branches were unearthed from the Zha Roll Luk Tomb in Jimo County, Xinjiang. In the 80s of the last century, Xinjiang's "baking" entered the mainland, triggering imitation in various places, but it has always been imitated and has never been surpassed.

The bazaar is not only a paradise for shopping, but also a place for making friends and chatting. If you don't have money to spend, you go to the bazaar when you have no clothes, you go to the bazaar when you have no clothes, you go to the bazaar when you have a happy event, you go to the bazaar when you are upset, you want to see your friends and go to the bazaar, and the bazaar has become a kind of sustenance.

When people are tired of shopping, they sit cross-legged on the benches next to the food stalls or on the large slab beds, ask for a bowl of ramen, a few skewers of roast mutton, some haggis, and sour and spicy cold noodles, and bring a bag of grilled buns to the family members who did not come to the bazaar when they return home.

Min Haoran likes to visit the bazaar. Shuttling through the dense crowd, listening to the rhythmic non-stop shouts of "Xu Juan Mutton Dengdeng Fried Noodles Tao Loose Rice Pan Meat Plate Noodles Ghost Meat Noodles (Hand Grasping Mutton, Ding Ding Fried Noodles, Set Rice, Beef Mixed Noodles, Oily Meat Mixed Noodles)", I love to drink the cool and heartfelt 'Shalang Gram' (people go to the river in winter to pick thick ice cubes and hide them in the cellar, shovel them into broken ice in summer, and mix them with yogurt and honey), and do not forget to appreciate the 'beautiful scenery' of Xinjiang girls.

Those who do business in the bazaar are generally from rural areas, and after a long time, they can speak some Chinese with their tongues curled, and if they are not locals, they will not understand it at all. For example, Lang Bag Zi Blind Swallow five Hangga become one kilogram of flowing meat and one kilogram of Xihang City (two bags of salt, five cucumbers, half a kilogram of beef, one kilogram of tomatoes), full of charm.

This is the case in Xinjiang. Whether it's culture, customs, or folklore, you have to hollow out all your emotions, let your soul lie down and enjoy leisure, let time slow down and savor: a cup of milk tea, a bunch of barbecue, a bowl of yogurt, a plate of dried fruits, all the troubles, all the unhappiness, all the resentment, all the anxiety will quietly leave you. There is no language in the world that can depict its beauty and ancient style, because there is no fault to be found except for the distance.

The donkey cart is the most common means of transportation, the villagers often drive the donkey cart to drive the whole family to the bazaar, there are always a few fat sheep in the car, and those sheep often drive the bazaar seven or eight times with the car. Of course, the people are not pulling sheep for a ride, but looking for someone to estimate the price, and every time they see the price of sheep rising by more than 100 yuan, the whole family is so happy.

A good donkey knows the way. Once, an old man drove a donkey cart to the bazaar, and fell asleep listening to the pleasant sound of 'jingle bells' on the cart. The donkey walked unhurriedly along the side of the road towards the bazaar. I don't know which immoral ghost saw the old man asleep, mischievously turned the donkey in a direction, the donkey pulled the old man home, delayed the bazaar, the angry old man stared at home and stamped his feet, hum hey taught a donkey a lesson for an afternoon, and the scolded donkey didn't dare to raise his head in the afternoon.

There are many people in the bazaar, and there are many donkeys and horses, so they have to be specially zoned for donkeys and horses to rest. The newly developed bazaar is surrounded by farmland, and there is no land available, and Qiao Zhengse's arena can only be requisitioned.

Since Qiao Zhengse learned that the county town bazaar had been relocated to his arena, his heart blossomed like boiling oil. The Grand Bazaar is the place with the largest flow of people, and once he moves over, it is a dragon to get water for his arena, and he is picking up a piece of feng shui treasure land from his ancestors.

How could Qiao Zhengse give up this place so easily. Although it is an illegal land, it can be backed by the mountains unscrupulously, and who can do anything about it, so he plays a horizontal role. Even if he had to requisition, he would have to hammer a hammer and ask for a sky-high price.

"I can hand over the land. But you have to calculate the houses I build here, the walls I build, the roads I build, and the roads I build. In this way, I don't want much, and I will be compensated 10 million, and I will not be able to lose one. "In Qiao Zhengse's eyes, there is no royal law, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, he doesn't take the staff seriously at all, he speaks roughly, and he looks like a monkey.

"The Grand Bazaar construction project was financed by enterprises, and on the issue of compensation, we had to sit down with Abdul Rahman to talk. "The staff knew that Qiao Zhengse was using land illegally, but these crab soldiers and shrimp had long mouths and long hands, and they usually didn't eat less and take less, so they turned a blind eye, and they were even more afraid of Qiao Zhengse's 'two ways' forces, and they didn't dare to follow the law.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense again, don't talk nonsense with you, you let Abdul Rahman come to me. Qiao Zhengse didn't look good, and with a wave of his hand, he sent the staff away.

Few people in southern Xinjiang County who can finance the construction of the Grand Bazaar project have this strength. Min Haoran thought that the farmers' market built by Abdul Rahman in Pozilabh Township was booming, and that he had experience in construction and management, and could take advantage of the situation to operate and become bigger, so he recommended Abdul Rahman to take the lead in setting up a company to finance the construction of the bazaar project.

Abdul Rahman naturally wouldn't go to Qiao Zhengse, and he reported to Min Haoran about Qiao Zhengse's reluctance to give up the plot. Min Haoran called Huang Xiaoli to the bazaar construction site to check the situation on the spot, and wanted her to come forward to solve it.

Dogs drill dog holes, cats walk the catwalk. A person like Huang Xiaoli, with a big mouth and a little bit of alcohol, actually got mixed with the deputy director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.

"County Magistrate Min, Qiao Zhengse's arena has been operating in the county for more than ten years. said that it was a fight, but in fact it was a casino, and I don't know how many families were harmed. That piece of land was not approved by any department, and it was built by him without authorization, which is illegal land. Of course, Huang Xiaoli knew Qiao Zhengse, and hated Qiao Zhengse's evil in Jiangnan County, and truthfully reported the situation to Min Haoran.

"There are still such arrogant people in Jiangnan County, why don't you govern it, you can forcibly demolish it according to law. Min Haoran didn't know the inside story, and said angrily.

"Qiao Zhengse is a well-known ruffian hooligan in our county, with a hard background, who dares to provoke him. Besides, the land used to be a wasteland, and there was no plan, so everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb. Huang Xiaoli showed a helpless expression.

Huang Xiaoli knew Min Haoran's personality, and she would definitely not let this kind of domineering behavior succeed, and wanted to take advantage of Min Haoran's momentum to eradicate this local snake. Huang Xiaoli hated this casino to the bone, and her lover Dong Xian happened to be a gambler, so she threw money at the casino, and almost made Lao Yan fly.

Dong Xiangang used to be a bit of a face-saving figure in Jiangnan County, and there were a group of younger brothers around him, who were also considered tyrants, running a video game hall in the county.

At the beginning, there were not many people who ran video game halls, and Dong Xiangang's family in Jiangnan County had a booming business and made a lot of money, and Huang Xiaoli also took a fancy to this when she married him.

There are a lot of cats in the video game hall, and they are engaged in some slot machines or other gambling games, either openly or secretly, and naturally have more contacts with some people who are not doing their jobs, and slowly hooked up with Qiao Zhengse.

The two met late, called each other brothers, and became wine and meat friends who didn't see each other for a day. Since then, Dong Xiangang has either been drunk and dreaming of dying in the wind and snow, or soaking in the casino of 'happy love and hatred', living a life of 'heaven and earth'.

Dong Xiangang gambled and won and lost, but he lost more and won less, and unconsciously ruined his family property, and the video game hall was also transferred to others.

"Now the Grand Bazaar project needs to requisition this land, and Qiao Zhengse is asking for a sky-high price, do you think it is better to solve it?" Min Haoran threw the question to Huang Xiaoli.

Some people can't do it on the grass, they don't know how to play football in the workplace, and they kick the ball well. Min Haoran has been in politics for so many years, and he understands that some unit leaders are good at kicking ball, and they hide after kicking the ball away when they encounter problems.

"County Magistrate Min, if Qiao Zhengse doesn't pursue legal responsibility for illegal land use, how can we give compensation, if we give compensation, then we are not illegal. Huang Xiaoli paused after speaking, quietly glanced at Min Haoran, saw that Min Haoran's expression was calm, and continued: "If you talk to Qiao Zhengse's father Qiao Yanglin, it may be effective, Qiao Yanglin has been mixed in Xinjiang County for so many years, and he still understands right and wrong, and needs some face." ”

They didn't know that the owner behind the casino was Qiao Yanglin.

The arrival of Wan Qingguo also damaged the interests of Qiao Yanglin Wansheng Construction Company. Wansheng Construction Company is a local enterprise that has almost taken over the county's largest construction work.

The predecessor of Wansheng Construction Company is the Wansheng Engineering Construction Team, which was transformed into a private enterprise in the nineties of the last century, and Qiao Yanglin, chairman of the company, earned a lot of money in the tide of reform, and the county leaders have a good relationship, especially with Qi Jianzhong.

Qiao Yanglin originally fled from the northeast to southern Xinjiang. When he first came, he had no relatives, and the owner wanted to live a wandering life in the west, but later a kind family accepted him and introduced him to the construction team as a temporary worker, and finally had a place to stay.

Qiao Yanglin has never gone to school, he doesn't know a single big word, and he speaks his hometown, except for the words "Kaha", which is relatively clear, almost no one can understand the other words, and everyone can only understand it by listening and guessing.

As the saying goes, there are many ways for the abductor, there are many things for the deaf, and there are many stammering words, and the more others don't understand, the more Qiao Yanglin likes to say, and it's not okay if others don't listen, and he grabs other people's clothes. I really couldn't find anyone to speak, so I paid out of my own pocket to invite others to drink Erguotou, and a few people listened to his nonsense very reluctantly in order to drink that sip of wine.

Qiao Yanglin not only talks a lot, but also likes to slip hooks and pat on the back, and he is also diligent, and the leaders of the construction team love to let him take the lead in the work, and he has become a small leader unconsciously. When the enterprise was restructured, everyone received some laid-off resettlement fees one after another, and went to find another job. Barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, Qiao Yanglin, who had nothing, simply contracted the construction team and actually broke out a way to make money.

Qiao Yanglin's son Qiao Zhengse has been 'fighting and killing' in society since he was a child, and he is a well-known little devil in the world, he never does good things, and he is not afraid of many bad things.

Qiao Zhengse fenced off a wasteland in the southeast corner of the county, built a cockfighting and sheep fighting field, raised four Tibetan mastiffs, and recruited a group of idle people to help watch the field on the social Internet. It is said to be a cockfight and a sheep fight, but in fact it is gambling, similar to HA

gka

G's betting on horses, making money every day, has also harmed many families and their wives to be separated.

One year, because of the conflict in gambling funds, Qiao Zhengse's subordinates killed a gambler, and under the mediation of Qiao Yanglin, the matter was unexpectedly settled, which further fueled Qiao Zhengse's arrogance. Qiao's father and son are regarded as characters who can reach the sky in the local community, black and white, and they deserve to be called "land snakes", and the masses smell "Qiao" color change.

"I think it's okay, why don't you talk to Qiao Yanglin first?" Of course, Min Haoran knew that it was useless for Huang Xiaoli and Qiao Yanglin to talk. He mainly looked at Huang Xiaoli's attitude, which would make Huang Xiaoli feel that he trusted her. At the same time, he also put pressure on her to kill the evil spirit of these middle-level cadres who kick the ball when they encounter difficult problems.

"County Magistrate Min, it's okay for me to talk to him, but it doesn't have much effect, if you can come forward, the problem will naturally be solved. Huang Xiaoli knew how many pounds and taels she had, politely Qiao Yanglin would ask the staff to pour her a cup of cold and white, if she was not polite, she couldn't enter the door of Qiao Yanglin's office, so she kicked the ball to Min Haoran.

"Alright then, you make an appointment with him, and we'll talk to her together. Min Haoran got into the car and left.

On this day, Min Haoran took Huang Xiaoli and came to Qiao Yanglin's office in the name of research.

"Hey, Lord Min, County Magistrate Min, what kind of wind blew you here, rare guest, rare guest, please sit down, please sit down. Min Haoran never said hello when he went, he was used to the light car, and his sudden visit surprised Qiao Yanglin, and sent away the idle people who were ridiculing, and immediately got up and stretched out his hand to greet him.

"Chairman Qiao is arrogant, the office is 'inlaid with gold and jade', this kind of luxury is unparalleled in Jiangnan County. Min Haoran looked at the office and marveled.

Although Qiao Yanglin is uneducated, the huge office has a whole cultural atmosphere. The window is full of famous books, the word "struggle" above is from the hands of famous artists, a huge desk is placed with a ruler-high jade Guanyin, two pieces of dozens of kilograms on the ground chubby, white and tender Hetian jade can not be squared, in front of a huge statue of Guan Gong stands in the 'city', the city is skillfully matched with famous trees and flowers, the flowing water is murmuring, and the fish are laughing.

"Where, this is the care and support of xx, so that we have the opportunity to start a business. I said that the left eyelid was beating hard today, it turned out that the magistrate of Min County was going to come in person, and he was not welcomed, he was not welcomed, and there must be something good when the magistrate of Min came. Qiao Yanglin shook the toad's head and flattered.

"You, you are worthy of being an elite in the business world, looking forward to good things all day long, and it is difficult to succeed. Look at you, decorating an office like a paradise, it can be seen that Chairman Qiao is a particular person. As you said, what I came to you to say today is indeed a good thing for the people of the county, but this good thing needs you to do, so I ascended to your Three Treasures Hall and wanted to get your support. Min Haoran said sweetly.

"County Magistrate Min is polite, as long as you use Qiao, I will do everything. Qiao Yanglin swore an oath to the golden brandy, which was comfortable to listen to.

"I admire Chairman Qiao's style of conduct, refreshing. It's not a big deal, no, the county developed a big bazaar, and wanted to recover that arena as a place for carriages and horses to stop, but your son was not happy, and the lion opened his mouth, which affected the progress of the county's 'three major battles'. You must also tie the bell to the bell, you are his father, presumably only you can solve this problem at the moment, so I hope Chairman Qiao will come forward, this matter is not difficult, right?" Min Haoran praised Qiao Yanglin while blocking the back road of Qiao Yanglin's refusal, and there was a needle hidden in his words.

"This ......" Qiao Yanglin stroked his pitted chin, his eyes rolled around, and he thought for a moment and said: "County Magistrate Min, don't worry, my dog is a big and thick one, Kaha doesn't know the depth, you can bear with me, that piece of land can be taken away at any time." ”

Qiao Yanglin has been on the scene for so many years, so he naturally knows the rules. Even if you are reluctant, you must pretend to be obedient on the surface. Besides, he wants to mix well in Jiangnan County, and he has to take care of Min Haoran a lot, so he can't lose Min Haoran's face, not to mention that it is illegal land, and it may not take advantage of it.

"Look, I said that Chairman Qiao is a person who understands the law and discipline, and you still don't believe it. Min Haoran looked at Huang Xiaoli and finished speaking, and then said to Qiao Yanglin: "Qiao always has the courage to support the construction of Jiangnan County so much, I thank you on behalf of the people of Jiangnan County." Min Haoran and Qiao Yanglin chatted for a while, and then called Huang Xiaoli to get up and say goodbye.

Qiao Yanglin may have been suppressed by Min Haoran's momentum, and he didn't feel any pain in the piece of fat that was cut away as if he was out of oxygen.

Since Min Haoran grasped the urban economy, he has vigorously rectified and standardized the bidding market and cracked down on bid-rigging and collusion. Although Qiao Yanglin is the local construction boss, in terms of qualifications, capital and management, it is far inferior to Wanqingguo's construction company. But he can't help it, Min Haoran does things according to the law, he still has nothing to say, he is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

"If this continues, sooner or later I will be marginalized, and the old scenery will be gone forever. He Min Haoran is a 'knife that kills people without seeing blood'. Qiao Yanglin was secretly angry, his blood pressure soared, his head was buzzing, and he hurriedly took out blood pressure medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, and rushed it with mineral water.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and it is not a good thing for Qiao Yanglin to remember Min Haoran. After Min Haoran left, the more Qiao Yanglin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he pondered, the more he didn't feel good, and he ran to Qi Jianzhong's office in the afternoon.

"Secretary Qi, how can you say that you are also sitting in the second place, and there is movement in the county when you say a word. I don't think Min Haoran takes you too seriously, this kid is still young, maybe he will climb on your old head one day. Qiao Yanglin looked at Qi Jianzhong's face, and then said: "You have been in this position for seven or eight years, and you should also 'turn positive' in terms of qualifications." I think Yuan Jing compares Min Haoran, so I don't pay attention to you, you have to make a difference. ”

Qiao Yanglin seems to be complaining about Qi Jianzhong, but in fact, he is provoking the relationship between Qi Jianzhong and Min Haoran, and wants to have a sandpiper and a clam to compete for the fisherman's profit.

Qi Jianzhong is in charge of political and legal work in the county party committee, and Qiao Yanglin can be said to have a "chopped head and shared neck" relationship.

"Old Joe, don't talk nonsense, everyone is doing their own things in their respective positions, don't say something unprincipled. Of course, Qi Jianzhong understood the meaning of Qiao Yanglin's words. Although he has a good relationship with Qiao Yanglin, he knows that Qiao Yanglin is a person, and he is a ruthless person who can do anything, so he has to guard against him.

"Secretary Qi, I'm not thinking about you, don't underestimate Min Haoran, this kid is very fine, has a lively brain, and is young, your old man has no action, and the prognosis is not good. If you have anything inconvenient, just give me the arrangement. Qiao Yanglin showed his true face. Qiao Yanglin had a good relationship with Qi Jianzhong, and his words became more and more boundless.

"Old Joe, don't blame me for being rude when you talk nonsense, your company used to play some marginal balls, how about some of the work you did, don't you have a number in your heart? Go back and put your broken company in order, don't run away from me if you have nothing to do, and don't run to me if you have nothing to do in the future." Qi Jianzhong choked Qiao Yanglin's words back in his head.

Min Haoran's promotion, Qi Jianzhong also felt the heavy pressure. Min Haoran is young, has made remarkable achievements in the township, and is vigorous in his work, and according to this progress, it is only a matter of time before he overtakes him, and it is a tricky 'thorn' for his future.

"Understood, I won't trouble you Secretary Qi, it's still the same sentence, you can snort where I Qiao, I'll go first, and I have something to call me. Qiao Yanglin didn't please both sides, so he put on his leather bag and left.

Although Qiao Yanglin agreed to take away the arena, not only did he not see the actual action, but he also secretly told Qiao Zhengse to keep the piece of land in prison. Qiao Yanglin knew in his heart that the land would definitely not be able to be saved, but he was an old ginger, so how could he give up. But he's not like his stunned son, who opens his mouth to be money, and is wishful thinking with a ghost in his heart.

Qiao Zhengse tied four Tibetan mastiffs to the gate and said that whoever dared to demolish them would let the dog bite people. The county party committee arranged for Qi Jianzhong to coordinate the handling, and Qi Jianzhong pretended to organize a large number of people from the public security and urban management to forcibly demolish it, but he did not advance it for a long time on the grounds that he was worried that human lives would be killed.

The demolition of the arena is reasonable and legal, and it is just a piece of cake for Qi Jianzhong, but Qi Jianzhong also has his own little Jiujiu in his heart. Qiao Yanglin respects him every year, and letting the arena out is equivalent to cutting off a piece of his flesh.

The arena will naturally be demolished, but Qi Jianzhong is good at grasping the heat and taking measure. He wanted to use this forced demolition to deliberately create some momentum and spread some thorns, which was no different from the method of throwing pushpins on the road by profiteers who repaired tires on the roadside, so as to show his weight in the county party committee.

Qi Jianzhong came up with a seemingly appropriate method and handed over the civil construction project of the Grand Bazaar to Qiao Yanglin to do, on the condition that the arena be let out. Of course, this plan was discussed privately by Qiao Yanglin and Qi Jianzhong many times. The project has been delayed for more than a month, and in order to smoothly advance the project, the county party committee has agreed to this compromise plan.
