Zhang Nan misunderstood Ling Zikai's meaning this time.

The reason why he suddenly hired Sister-in-law Jiang to work as an accountant in the forest farm had little to do with Jiang Hongyuan, but completely because she had taken a fancy to her character and rigor in doing things. An accountant is his or her own financial manager, and in addition to being proficient in business, character is the most important thing.

Ling Zikai asked, "Sister-in-law Jiang, what did Brother Jiang do to get imprisoned back then?"

This question has always been the biggest mystery in Ling Zikai's heart, and it is also the main factor in whether he can reuse Jiang Hongyuan in the end. As a wife, Sister-in-law Jiang must know the reason.

Sister-in-law Jiang said: "Have you heard of the huge forest fire that happened in Kamo County four years ago?"

Four years ago, Ling Zikai was still in college in Jiangnan Province, so he would not pay attention to what was happening in a small mountainous county thousands of miles away. Even if there was a news report at that time, I had long forgotten it and didn't know what Sister-in-law Jiang said.

But Zhang Nan, as a native of the Northern Province, still remembers the events of that year vividly, and said: "I know about the fire, it seems that it burned for three or one weeks, destroying nearly 10,000 acres of forest, and in these years, it is also the largest fire in the Xing'an Mountains, and it is said that several people died." But as the director of the Forestry Bureau, there was a huge fire, and although Brother Jiang would be held accountable, at most he would be dismissed from his post and not be sentenced directly!"

Sister-in-law Jiang smiled bitterly: "At that time, the court wrote in the verdict against Lao Jiang that Lao Jiang did not do the corresponding forest fire prevention work before this fire. After the fire broke out, they deliberately concealed the disaster situation and failed to organize personnel to put out the fire in the first place, so that the disaster situation expanded, bringing huge losses to state property and the safety of the people. As the director in charge of forestry, Lao Jiang committed serious dereliction of duty and was found guilty of dereliction of duty.

And the most important point is that it is also mentioned in the indictment that when he was the director of the bureau, the whereabouts of a sum of two million funds were unknown, and it was suspected that he had embezzled and embezzled them.

If it is said that because of the losses caused by the fire, Lao Jiang was held accountable as the director of the bureau, we have no complaints.

As you know, he was originally a nerd, and he only knew how to study his forestry science and technology all day long, and he was not the material for being a leader at all. He shouldn't have been the director in the first place.

However, if it is said that he has embezzled a large amount of public funds from the state, no one will believe it.

In the entire Forestry Bureau, who does not know that in order to carry out the development project of economic forest and understory economic resource utilization technology, when the bureau did not allocate scientific research funds, he paid for it all out of his pocket.

Look at the house we live in, this is still the property left to me by my mother's family back then!

If we had embezzled those millions of dollars, our lives would not have ended up where we are now. ”

Ling Zikai asked puzzledly: "This wants to prove whether that huge amount of money has been embezzled, it's very simple, as long as you find out the whereabouts of the money, won't it be clear? Moreover, since the court has convicted Lao Jiang of embezzlement, there should always be conclusive evidence!"

Sister-in-law Jiang said angrily: "Do you know what the people in the court said at that time? They said that it was fortunate that no evidence was found, otherwise Lao Jiang would have been sentenced to at least ten years in prison." ”

Zhang Nan said with some disbelief: "In this way, the court charged Senior Brother Jiang with corruption without evidence?

Ling Zikai asked with some hesitation: "With such an obvious wrong case, the court should not make a judgment hastily, at least it must be legally tenable." Is there something else hidden here?"

Sister-in-law Jiang shook her head and said, "Even if there is any inside story, we won't know." It is said that at that time, there was also a great deal of controversy within the court about the characterization of Lao Jiang's case, and later a provincial leader gave instructions, and the court hastily handed down the verdict.

I have read the verdict, and the court still found Lao Jiang guilty of embezzlement. But the amount of embezzlement changed from two million to twenty thousand. said that this can be regarded as a light attack on Lao Jiang. ”

Zhang Nan said indignantly: "Even if it is 2,000 yuan, this crime still falls on the head! What is going on with the court in Kamo County, and is there still the fairness and justice of the law?"

Ling Zikai echoed: "This is indeed a trumped-up charge! No wonder Brother Jiang has to appeal everywhere after he comes out. I can't swallow this breath either! But in my opinion, there must have been an inside story behind this incident back then. This can be seen from the fact that no department is willing to accept Brother Jiang's petition materials, and the involvement should be very large. It's very difficult to get to the point. ”

Sister-in-law Jiang said with a sad face: "For the sake of petitioning, Lao Jiang's whole person has changed now, as if he has a demonic disease." I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I'll ruin him. Big sister, you are his junior sister, when I see him later, persuade him for me. We can't twist our arms around our thighs, and what happened back then is a nightmare, so that he doesn't have to spend all his energy on it anymore. Anyway, there is still a long way to go, so we have to live this day!"

Zhang Nan nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll persuade Senior Brother Jiang later." We must clear up this injustice, but we must also pay attention to methods and strategies, and it may not be possible to solve it by petitioning everywhere alone. ”

Just when Ling Zikai and the others wanted to go out to bail Jiang Hongyuan out, a woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Does Jiang Hongyuan's family live here?"

I saw a young woman wearing a military camouflage uniform and a pair of sunglasses on her face appear at the door.

After Ling Zikai and Zhang Nan saw the woman, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt a little surprised in their hearts:

Isn't this person the woman who drove a Hummer she met on the way to Kamo County before, how could she be here, could it be that she is related to Jiang Hongyuan's family?

Seeing the woman, Sister-in-law Jiang also felt a little strange, walked to the door, and said, "Jiang Hongyuan lives here, and I am his wife." Who are you and what is there to find him?"

The woman was about to explain, but after seeing Ling Zikai standing in the room, she pointed at him and said, "I'm here to look for him at your house!"

Then he said to Ling Zikai: "You are Ling Zikai!"

Ling Zikai asked a little strangely when he heard this: "How do you know my name?" That's right, my name is Ling Zikai!"

The beautiful woman said, "I have something to look for you, please come with me!"

Ling Zikai suddenly felt that the second monk was a little confused, and asked: "This beauty, you can't be the wrong person, right? We shouldn't know each other! What do you want me to ask for? Where do you want me to go with you?"
