In the late summer and early autumn, Qi Tianxiang, the soon-to-be-appointed secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, was caught red-handed by the night patrol police in Pingyuan County, more than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital, in Pingyuan County, which was more than 100 kilometers away from the provincial capital. [Ran^Text^Library] []

This move, like a pebble, was thrown into the huge rivers and lakes of Hohai Province, causing an uproar in the political and business circles, and thus conjuring up a series of waves and shocks.

The first chapter is changing rapidly, and until now, Qi Tianxiang has not figured out, what happened on which day?

After checking in, I took the door key, followed the waiter out of the front building, walked through the tree-lined avenue between the park-like flower beds, walked to the bungalow hidden in the thick shade of the trees, and walked into my room 103.

When the waiter turned to leave, he closed the door by the way, and only Qi Tianxiang was left in the room, and he didn't have time to put down the bag in his hand, so he hurriedly opened the bag and took out the charger. On the long-distance bus, the mobile phone ran out of power, and the power was cut off for nearly two hours.

plugged in the charger, turned on the phone again, and saw that there was no call prompt, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, after all, it was only a little after seven o'clock, and it was not yet the time for Yan Li to call.

I turned on the water dispenser, turned on the TV, and tuned to the news broadcast, which was talking about international news, about the widespread drought in Africa.

After doing all this, Qi Tianxiang was able to sit on the sofa, stretch for a long time, and start the following calculations. In the past 10 days since I was interviewed in the classroom of the Central Party School and in the office of the leader of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the matter has been pressed in my heart, and in addition to the materials I have seen in the organs and the postponement of the official appointment, it seems that I have decided to make such a trip. Although such a trip was planned in Beijing, it was decided at noon to go that day, and how to go, and such a trip was not planned for a few hours from the afternoon.

It wasn't until I got off the long-distance bus and really arrived in Pingyuan County that I didn't figure out how I came here like this, and how to start after coming here?

Qi Tianxiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, it was over. Anyway, I have to make a phone call to the agency tomorrow morning, and I have to say a defensible reason, so that this trip to Pingyuan County will be high-sounding, normal and reasonable, and it is best not to be abrupt and quiet. It seems that it is better to communicate with Liu Tangzi, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Pingyuan County, and it is better to let him put forward a reason for inviting him over. Although he jokingly said on the phone a few days ago that he wanted to go to Pingyuan County to have a look, and he was full of welcome and expectation, after all, it was just a joke or joke on the phone, or a polite way, it was really uninvited, and it was still a little abrupt. No matter how grandiose the reason, there is no phone call and no prior notice, which is a bit unreasonable in today's era of highly accessible information.

Thinking about it, I walked to the desk, picked up the mobile phone, just now on the long-distance bus was about to call him, hesitated for a long time and didn't call, just in time to catch up with the phone out of battery, now just call him to surprise him, by the way, I told him that I was uninvited.

Immediately Qi Tianxiang dispelled the idea, the weather forecast was playing on the TV, at this time period, either eating, or approaching the end of the dinner, the busiest time of the day, even if there was no reason to form a meal. Calling at this time, not only disrupted the original rhythm of the meal, but also led to more things, many people who ended the dinner had to reconcentrate, those who did not end had to end in a hurry, those who drank not much had to drink, and those who drank too much had to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, chaos was indispensable, not to mention other side effects.

Qi Tianxiang dispelled his thoughts, and sent a message to Yan Li instead, "Daughter-in-law, I'm in Pingyuan County now, I'm down to investigate, I'm eating, everything is fine, don't read it." ”

After doing all this, I took out the tea leaves from my bag and made a cup of tea, sat back on the sofa, and prepared to drink some tea and eat at the door of the hotel. When I was passing by by a taxi just now, I saw a lot of food stalls on the side of the road, and it was the end of summer and early autumn, so it was good to have some barbecue and drink some beer.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianxiang couldn't wait a little, and was a little eager to try, but when he thought of eating, he came to the desk again, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone of his father-in-law's house.

"Mom, I'm Tianxiang, I just ran something outside, and I forgot to tell you. I've eaten, I've eaten, you and Dad have eaten too, right? Qi Tianxiang was busy coping with the old lady's question on the phone, and said without forgetting to see the stitches: "I came to Pingyuan County in the afternoon, come and have a look, and I also want to take advantage of this time to walk around and familiarize myself with some situations." Don't worry, I'll take care of myself, I'll go back in a few days, you and my dad pay more attention to your body. Okay, okay. ”

Qi Tianxiang coped with it in a row, and waited for the old lady to hang up the phone after speaking, and then hung up the phone. If there are many reasons, this is also the reason, the relationship with the parents-in-law, especially the relationship with the mother-in-law, is not bad, it is too good, and the good has become a burden, especially in the past few days when I come back to report, I have to go home on time for dinner every day. If it was his old mother, he would persuade him kindly, he didn't have to be so thoughtful, they were all his own children, and he would do some things by himself, but he couldn't bear or dare to his mother-in-law.

Thinking about his mother-in-law, thinking about his mother-in-law putting down the phone and informing his father-in-law that he had come to Pingyuan County, his father-in-law's surprise and incomprehension, Qi Tianxiang felt heavy in his heart and a little inexplicably irritable. Picking up the teacup and drinking tea, my heart was empty. At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Please come in." Qi Tianxiang didn't get up while talking, the door lock of the old-fashioned hotel is an internal lock, the outer lock needs a key, and the inner lock needs to twist the switch. He was a little surprised, who could it be at this time? As soon as I called my mother-in-law, my father-in-law notified Pingyuan County? It won't be so fast!

The door was gently pushed open, and a figure flashed in, a girl dressed as a waiter, holding a thermos in her hand, and said respectfully, "Boss, bring you boiling water." ”

"Isn't there a water dispenser? Why do you still need to send boiling water? Qi Tianxiang looked at the water dispenser on the desk in puzzlement, and then looked at the teacup in his hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry. The water in the water dispenser has not been used up for several days, and it has not been changed, for fear of unhygiene. As he spoke, the waiter closed the door behind him and walked straight to the writing desk.

It's a normal procedure, a normal communication, but how did the waiter take his teacup, why did he lift the thermos and pour the water and even the bottle with the cup fell to the ground, and how did the waiter sit on his lap, and then the door was kicked open with his foot, accompanied by the bright light of the mobile phone flash, and when Qi Tianxiang turned his head in shock, he saw two men with angry eyes and "What are you doing?" Reprimand. In a daze, the clothes on the upper body of the waiter sitting on his lap had been torn, and even the bra had been torn off, revealing the snow-white crisp breasts, as well as the clear scratches on the **, faintly red blood.

Everything was like thunder and lightning in an instant, and Qi Tianxiang hit Qi Tianxiang like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his brain suddenly became blank, only the bare breasts, as well as the clear scratches and faint blood on the **, and the angry expressions of the two men.

"You're a big man, bullying a girl, and you don't even let go of the waiter, are you still human?" Under the man's angry shout, the waitress covered her face and stood up from Qi Tianxiang, threw herself on the bed, and howled loudly.

It was only at this time that Qi Tianxiang gradually came back to his senses and looked at the two men standing at the door in surprise. Both of them were about thirty years old, wearing public security uniforms, with round eyes open, serious and stern. One of them took out his ID and shook it in front of Qi Tianxiang's eyes and said, "We are from the Chengdong Police Station, specializing in arresting prostitution, come with us!" ”

"Let's go? Where to go? Qi Tianxiang asked strangely: "I didn't do anything, why did I go with you?" ”

"Nothing?" A man said with a sneer, took out his mobile phone and shook it: "We all have records here, and you are still stubborn after arresting you." You tried to rape the waitress, and if we hadn't arrived in time, you would have succeeded. Still doing nothing? ”

"Don't talk nonsense to him." Another man said impatiently: "Follow us to the police station, attempted rape, detention for at least fifteen days, fines, and legal responsibility for not getting the waiter to sue you for rape." ”

"I didn't do anything, you guys are framing." At this point, Qi Tianxiang seemed to understand something, although he didn't know what it would be, but his intuition told him that there was trouble, and it was a big trouble.

"Framed, is this a frame-up?" The thin man slapped Qi Tianxiang in the face coldly, and angrily pointed at the broken thermos and teacups on the ground, "This is clearly violent rape, and the traces of the fight are so obvious, isn't it a fact?" Not evidence? It can't be changed anywhere. ”

Qi Tianxiang's eyes were dark, and when he understood, his eyes immediately blurred, and he hurriedly looked for the knocked glasses, touched the ground for a long time before finding them, and put them back on after finding them, his heart tightened for a while, he couldn't imagine that they would beat people, let alone what they would do. In the more than 40 years he has grown up, he has never experienced such a thing, and he doesn't know how to deal with it. But he still pretended to be relaxed and said: "Okay, I'll deal with you at the police station, how to punish me." His voice was a little tight, and he also felt his nervousness and lack of confidence, Qi Tianxiang was very dissatisfied with his performance.

"Deal with it in the office?" The thin man looked at Qi Tianxiang in disbelief and said threateningly, "You can think about it, there will be no good fruit for you to eat when the time comes." ”

"I'll go with you." Qi Tianxiang said firmly, his voice was obviously much higher. Qi Tianxiang obviously felt the return of this confidence, and he gradually began to be satisfied with himself. As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the coat hanger by the door, ready to put on his coat.

"You'd better think it through." The chubby man who had been standing next to him and had not spoken came over and said in a gentle tone: "Anyway, we have to deal with problems, and we have to deal with them both in the office and here." The handling of the office is a business affair, whether it is a fine or a punishment, it is all in the pockets of the public, not only do you have to be embarrassed, but this girl can't get any compensation at all, isn't it a loss? Think again. As the man spoke, he suddenly walked up to Qi Tianxiang as if he remembered something, "Let me see your work permit." ”

In a word, Qi Tianxiang is like a leaky ball, and he no longer has confidence. "Didn't bring it." Qi Tianxiang said weakly. It is true that they did not bring it, or more precisely, they did not, the work permit of the college has been handed over, and the temporary certificate that was issued during the period of suspension has been handed back to the office when he went to study at the Central Party School. During the study period at the Central Party School, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee has already sent someone to the college to go through the formal transfer procedures, and the relevant procedures have also been completed.

"Didn't bring it?" The fat man's face approached Qi Tianxiang's face, and a heavy smell of wine sprayed on his face, "I didn't bring it, I still don't want to take it out!" The man dragged out a long voice and said meaningfully, his scrutinizing gaze never leaving Qi Tianxiang's face, as if he wanted to read something from it. Looking at Qi Tianxiang's embarrassed expression, as if he had caught something, he said proudly: "Look at your polite appearance, if you don't want to do business, you look like a sitting authority." If your organization knows about doing such a thing, your reputation and position will ......"

The fat man's meaningful words did not not worry Qi Tianxiang, at this time, this place made him difficult to distinguish, and it was also what he was most worried about.

"What nonsense to talk to him, you can't do it if you don't talk to him hard." The skinny man roared over and looked at the posture to be rough. was grabbed by the fat man and said softly: "Don't be like this, you must enforce the law in a civilized manner and convince people with reason." Let the family think about it again. ”

Qi Tianxiang was really helpless, he had never encountered such a scene before, and he had no experience in dealing with it. There are really some umbrellas under the eaves, and they can't hold them together, and they are helpless and helpless, so they have to say weakly: "What do you say?" ”

"Well, you're right to have that attitude." The fat man said with relief: "With a clear attitude and the manifestation of recognizing mistakes, it is the first step to correct, and it will be easy to do." As he spoke, he leaned over, sat on the sofa, and sat down affectionately with Tianxiang. Qi Tianxiang clearly heard the secret smile in his heart, but there was no way, he felt that he would be a sheep to be slaughtered, death was certain, skinning and eating meat was also certain, but the difference in death was just the difference. Whether it is a one-shot death or a piecemeal cut, the difference is here.

Qi Tianxiang suddenly hated himself a little, when did he still think of this. It's no wonder that Yan Li would say that she was not doing the right thing.

"That's right, as I just said, there are only two ways to deal with it, one is to go to the office to deal with it, fine, notify the unit, or maybe administrative detention. Such a method is laborious and laborious, and it is not necessary, and it is not worth the loss for you. The fat man stood up, paced around the room, habitually put his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "This second way is to spend money to eliminate the disaster, you take out some money to compensate this girl for the loss, that is, to make up for the damage to her, and pay the price for your mistakes, everyone has found a balance, and it is dealt with in private, quietly and quietly, unaware, we don't say that of course you won't say, no one knows anyone when you walk out of this room, you can still enter and exit your agency tomorrow, Upright, innocent. Speaking of this, the fat man happened to pace in front of Qi Tianxiang again, and then leaned in front of his face and said, "How is it?" ”

Qi Tianxiang was simply impressed by this man's eloquence, reasonable, well-founded, both analytical and sensational, and it seemed that he was considered everywhere, without the slightest threat, but it clearly implied coercion and unquestionable, because behind this move there was clearly everything "if", that is, it could be another result, another look. Qi Tianxiang clearly felt that there was a pair of big hands choking his throat at this moment, and he could kill him tightly, and after the helplessness and pathos of "Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable" just now, he added a little bit of "Xiucai meets Xiucai, and it is even more inexplicable" emotion, but at this moment he doesn't want to be too entangled, he just wants to end this matter quickly, because he has more more heartwarming things to think about, and he has to come up with a way, fortunately, he brought some cash when he came out, and there was some money in the card, I believe he can handle it. So avoid the fat man's alcohol shock and calmly say, "How much does it cost?" ”

"That depends on the girl's attitude." The fat man seemed to enjoy the cat-and-mouse feeling, and he slowly approached the waitress, who no longer wailed on the bed, but sat on the edge of the bed and listened quietly to their conversation, and the clothes on her body were neatly tidied up, although the collar was still open, but she could no longer see the hurt and misery of the past. Listening to the fat man's words, looking at the man who walked in front of him, as if he suddenly remembered something, the waitress covered her face and sobbed again.

"It seems that this girl's psychological damage is not light, and it won't get much better in the short term, I don't think that's the case?" The fat man walked back to Qi Tianxiang again, and said in a negotiated tone: "You take five thousand yuan out first, let's take this girl to the hospital for a check-up, if there is no other physical and mental harm, that's it, if there is anything, we will come over tomorrow to continue the negotiation, what do you think?" ”

Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt the blood rushing to his brain, not only dizzy, but also angry. "Five thousand dollars, isn't this blackmail?" Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but think of the joke that was often passed down at the dinner table, "I'm not afraid of hooligans being armed, I'm afraid that hooligans are educated." This kind of treatment seems fair, but in fact, it is a soft knife to kill people, or to satisfy their appetite, and they will no longer be entangled. Or leave your identity information, phone number, unit and other information, and you can ask for money at any time under the pretext that the matter is not over, and the handle is in the hands of others, and you can be found at any time. After talking about money, it will definitely be a unit, a telephone, a letter of repentance and something like that, and once these things are kept here, they will be haunted by demons. Qi Tianxiang's anger was thinking of this, he felt that he couldn't go on like this, rather than dealing with it like this, it was better to do business.

"If you say that, I can't help it." The fat man pretended to be sorry and said, "I'm thinking about you, and you can't talk about this kind of attitude." As he spoke, his eyes gestured to a thin man.

Qi Tianxiang stood up, vigilantly looked at the thin man not far away, with his height and physique, he was punched in the face by the thin man just now, if he really cheered up, he would not necessarily suffer, and at the same time, a person's name flashed in his mind, and he shouted loudly: "Call Liu Tangzi from your Commission for Discipline Inspection to come over, I will tell him something." ”

Qi Tianxiang's sudden change instantly made the two men stunned, and the fat man quickly blocked the thin man, and asked in shock: "Liu Tangzi, do you know Secretary Liu of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" ”

Before Qi Tianxiang could answer, the voice came from another direction, so that the eyes of the people in the room were focused on the place where the voice came from.

"Who is looking for Liu Tangzi?" A heavy question sounded at the door, and a burly figure walked in, looked around the room, and asked loudly, "What's going on?" ”

"Peng, Secretary Peng." When the fat man saw the man coming in, he immediately became nervous, and then said respectfully: "You have rested, we are arresting prostitutes." This man attempted to rape the waiter at the hotel, and we were arrested and interrogated. ”

"Catch a prostitute? And just caught an attempted rape? Are you arresting prostitutes, or are you arresting rape? The man's words were full of doubt, but his majesty remained undiminished, "Which police station are you from, and who let you go to Xiaozhao to arrest prostitutes?" ”

"We, we are from the Chengdong Police Station," the fat man hurriedly explained, "We came here temporarily after receiving a report that this man was suspected of soliciting prostitution." ”

"The rape is still premeditated, and it can be reported, you lied to the ghost!" The man raised his leg coldly and kicked at the fat man, and was kicking the fat man's calf, so painful that he covered his calf and squatted on the ground, but the man's roar did not decrease at all, "Call your director, no, call your director Zhang Shouzheng, right away." ”

The fat man grinned and took out the phone and began to dial the number. After the man had done all this, he withdrew his gaze from the fat man, looked at the other people in the room condescendingly, and when his eyes looked at Qi Tianxiang's face, he stared at it for a moment, and said loudly: "Old classmate, Xiucai, why are you?" ”

It was only at this moment that Qi Tianxiang seriously looked at the man in front of him, a series of changes made him a little dizzy, how did this man come in, and why did he come in, the instantaneous changes made him unable to react for a while, and as soon as he came in, it seemed to bring a great aura, a fog-like thing wrapped the man, and the next roar and movement flashed like lightning, which did not give Qi Tianxiang time to distinguish and react at all.

"Old Peng? Secretary Peng. Qi Tianxiang's surprise was no less than that of the man in front of him. Qi Tianxiang never thought that he would be here and meet this person. "Aren't you a secretary in Deqing City? Isn't it true that the official was reinstated after graduating from the party school? How did you get to Ping'an County again? Qi Tianxiang admired his ability to reflect very much, not only did he know his situation with the person in front of him, but he came for him this time, but he couldn't show such intentions at all, so he asked in surprise.

The man in front of him Qi Tianxiang knows, his name is Peng Qun, and he is the secretary of the Deqing Municipal Party Committee under the jurisdiction of Haicheng City. And he did do be a classmate, but it was just a training class for young cadres at the Central Party School. The two do have a friendship, although they lived in the same dormitory when they were in the party school, they usually don't have a lot of interactions, and the topic of the conversation is still focused on the debate on social legal principles and other issues.

"This is a long story, it turned out that the good position was sought by others, and Deqing City couldn't go back, so I had to come to the poor county of the plain, one or two sentences are not clear, and we will talk slowly when we have time." Peng Qun's face was full of smiles and joy, but then he pulled down his face, and it was cloudy again, and he said fiercely: "Let's deal with the affairs of these two boys first." Then he raised his voice, "Why hasn't Zhang Shouzheng come yet?" ”

"I called, and I'll be there shortly." The fat man replied sloppily, not daring to say anything superfluous.

Soon, Zhang Shouzheng, the director and political commissar of the county public security bureau, as well as the director of the Chengdong police station, led several people into the room one after another. The room immediately seemed crowded and cramped.

As usual, it is Secretary Peng Qun's loud instructions and specific arrangements, and as usual, it is the self-criticism and statement of the director, political commissar, and the head of the police station.

When everything stopped for the time being, "Old classmate, let them get it, let's go to my room to talk." Peng Qun wasted no time in pulling up Qi Tianxiang and went out without saying anything.

Suddenly walking into the night, coupled with not wearing a coat, Qi Tianxiang suddenly shivered, feeling a little cold, and it was a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow.

It's September, it shouldn't be! Qi Tianxiang felt strange, but he quickly followed Peng Qun into the night
