Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Sinister World
Yan Bonian returned home accompanied by Zhang Jian and Bai Fengshou, and after Zhang Jian left, Bai Fengshou refused Yan Bonian's offer to pour tea, and mysteriously informed Huang Qing of his fall. [Ran^Text^Library] This is also a question that Yan Bonian had doubts about at the beginning of today's briefing meeting, a member of the Standing Committee and the executive vice governor were actually absent from the activities attended by the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor, which obviously should not be done, but he never asked, nor did he express curiosity, because since the briefing is inconvenient to report, there must be something inconvenient to disclose.
"The case that the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection personally paid attention to was not handled by the Hohai Commission for Discipline Inspection, but was only notified to go to Beijing for a meeting, and it was brought under control as soon as it arrived in Beijing." Bai Fengshou said with a little excitement; Yesterday they had already come to clean up the three residences of Huang Qing's family, and there were several truckloads of gold, valuables, calligraphy and paintings in his home alone, and more than 50 million yuan in cash. Since it was a secret clean-up, and the news is still blocked, the secretaries asked me to come over and report to you separately. ”
"You shall not live." Yan Bonian gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "To achieve such a position, with the current power, is money really that important?" Is it possible to spend so much money? Haven't they all become incriminating evidence? You say it's not stupid, and what? ”
"Moreover, it has now been basically ascertained that Tianxiang's matter in Pingyuan County is framed, and it is intentionally framed." Bai Fengshou straightened out his thoughts, and said 1510: "The matter began to be planned from the time Tianxiang was interviewed by the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in Beijing, and soon after the interview, the news came out from the organs of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, or that this person has a lot of energy, and many ministries and commissions of the central government have his connections, of course, they are all entangled with money and interests. Why frame Tianxiang, the reason is also very simple, Tianxiang blocked his way, originally after Secretary Zhang retired, he wanted to come to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so that he could naturally become a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but was resolutely resisted by the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, and did not get his wish, but he still used his ability to run for office, became the executive vice governor, and still entered the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, which shows the energy of the network he weaved. But he still did not give up and continued to covet the position of secretary of the provincial discipline inspection commission, because if he continued in this way, he would soon become the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, and then it would be relatively easy to take over the governor of the province or transfer to another province to become a candidate for governor.
Hasn't someone done an evaluation, his ability and qualifications, as well as his rich grassroots work experience, is the best candidate for the governor, and didn't there be such a discussion in the agency a while ago? He said that the current governor Tang Haonan is a cadre who has been transferred from a central ministry and commission, and is an expert official, and that the transition to the grassroots level is only temporary, and the central government should also entrust him with heavy use, and that local cadres who have grassroots work experience, rich management skills, and outstanding political achievements are the best candidates for provincial governors. Such so-called evaluations and discussions are nothing but non-existent matters, and there is no such thing as a small-scale evaluation by the Central Organization Department at all, and they are all some people spreading news with ulterior motives to interfere with normal personnel arrangements, and their purpose is to add fuel to the flames and muddy the waters so that certain people can smoothly ascend to their posts. After this kind of direct hope of seizing power was shattered, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection thought of a transitional method to achieve its goal. Although it did not succeed, the provincial party committee decisively broke the routine and selected Qi Tianxiang as the candidate for the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and entered the party school for pre-appointment training, which disrupted his plan. Therefore, he never gave up, especially after the leaders of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection interviewed Qi Tianxiang, he felt that things were not good, so he began to pay attention to Tianxiang's movements and arranged for people to keep an eye on him. This person is Xiao Wang of the Secretariat of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wang Jianjian, they are fellow villagers in the plains, and they may also have relatives. After Tianxiang left the agency that day, Xiao Wang followed him to the long-distance bus station, watched Tianxiang get on the car to the plain, and hurriedly reported to him. These have been investigated and personally investigated by Wang Jianjian, and we have obtained detailed results, and there are some other cases.
He arranged all this through his wife Yu Jie. His wife Yu Jie is not simple, both officials and businessmen call her "Sister Yu", very energetic, and both officials and businessmen agree that he is an official and Sister Yu opens a company, which complements each other and complements each other. As long as it is a project or project that he or Sister Yu is interested in, when the project is established or the project is started, Sister Yu's corresponding company will immediately follow up, most of them in the name of joint or joint development, or participate in the sharing, or directly ask for benefits, many company CEOs, and even government officials dare not speak out, and some government departments also strive to provide convenience. This is what he has repeatedly declared as a clear and clear official as a mirror, resolutely not accepting money and gifts for the benefit of others, not that he is honest, but that he doesn't look down on that little money. Sister Yu has many companies, no one knows, anyway, as long as there is a project or project, an affiliated company will come into being immediately, and the project or project will end, and the company will disappear. This phenomenon is particularly obvious in Qinghe and the following counties and cities, as long as he is in charge of Qinghe City, there are the shadow of Sister Yu and her company, and they are all small and medium-sized companies that are not visible, only economic exchanges, but there are no economic activities such as production, purchase and sales. The company's legal person is also varied, there are sons' names, daughters-in-law, and even nannies, but more are unrelated personnel, employees in the company, financial personnel, and even old men who watch the door, as long as they have a name and an ID card, they can do the corresponding company, and it takes a lot of effort to investigate, several departments, dozens of people, and a few months of investigation do not dare to say that all the investigations are clear, as for how much Sister Yu has, it is even more unclear, some say hundreds of millions, some say billions, and there are tens of billions. According to our preliminary investigations, there are billions of them, and perhaps more.
Sister Yu is so greedy, from the disappointment and despair of marriage, they are all plains fellow villagers, they fell in love with each other in college, and their married life is very happy, even more so after having a son, but with the promotion of his position, especially after hooking up with many women, Sister Yu gradually became disappointed, and with the birth of his and his lover's children one by one, this disappointment turned into despair and resentment, so he simply went to the United States with his son, thinking out of sight and out of mind, but still unwilling, after her son returned to China, she felt that she couldn't change him, She couldn't get a divorce, so she began to be crazy and greedy, in her words: 'He wants women and me to take money, and everyone takes what he needs, and no one suffers'.
After Sister Yu learned that Tianxiang was going to Qinghe, she informed Gao Shan and Tao Zheng that several of Gao Shan's real estate projects in the plains had Sister Yu's cooperative company, so she firmly controlled Gao Shan. Because Sister Yu interfered too much in the project of the plain, the third child was still very dissatisfied, especially the textile factory community jointly developed by him and Gao Shan, he went out of the land, Gao Shan out of the procedures and related development qualifications, and Sister Yu's company was also involved. In fact, the third child didn't know that Sister Yu had known Gao Shan for a long time, at least her son had intersected with Gao Shan when he was studying in the United States, and had helped Gao Shan do some things and had some benefits, but simply collecting money could not satisfy Sister Yu's inflated appetite, so she simply opened a company to make money, and it was Sister Yu who introduced Gao Shan to Peng Qun, and directly led Gao Shan, a big customer, to the plain and became one of her financial resources. As for why Gao Shan is only tossed in the plains and not directly led to Qinghe, the reason may also be that he doesn't want Gao Shan to get too involved in the interests of Qinghe, and he is not very at ease with Gao Shan, thinking that Gao Shan is too bold and vicious, and he is afraid that he can't control it.
This relationship with Gao Shan is even simpler, and the relationship with Tao Zheng, who is his brother-in-law. After conspiring with Tao Zheng, Gao Shan discussed this seemingly immortal trap, and found Gao Shan's brothers Jiao Zan and Meng Huo, Meng Huo is Sister Yu's younger brother, and the surname is different because one follows his father's surname and the other follows his mother's surname, and he also found a prostitute in a hair salon, pretending to be a waiter, in an attempt to blackmail Qi Tianxiang.
Their purpose is very simple, they will take pictures when they go in, and after they get the so-called evidence, they will force Tianxiang to comply, the fine or economic compensation is fake, the real purpose is to get the photos, as well as Qi Tianxiang's personal confession of repentance, so as to make a big fuss, so as to make a mess of Qi Tianxiang, change the deployment and arrangement of the provincial party committee, and help him take the position smoothly.
Fortunately, Tianxiang was alert and did not give in, and even shouted out to find Liu Tangzi, so they had no way to carry out blackmail as planned, and could only end in a farce of fairy jumping.
As for Peng Qun's performance, in fact, he is just a puppet, completely controlled by him and Sister Yu, it was his channel that sold officials back then, and the handle was also in his hands, and the evidence of his corruption was also in his hands, and what Peng Qun did in the plain was busy for the interests of him and Sister Yu. Therefore, he anesthetized himself with ** and, and it was even more pathological in the later stage. Peng Qun's appearance may be accidental, or it may be a conscience discovery, the person is dead, and there is no evidence. ”
To put it mildly, although it is unremarkable, it is creepy, and I feel that such a conspiracy is not only vicious, but also one ring after another, so meticulous that it is impossible to believe.
But Yan Bonian felt a lot more relieved, so much so that when he sent Bai Fengshou out, he felt much more relaxed. I sat in the small garden and quietly enjoyed the warm afternoon sun.
"Grandpa." Xiaobei screamed exaggeratedly, and immediately stood in front of Yan Bonian.
"Oh, it's a croaking chicken!" Yan Bonian straightened up and looked at Xiaobei with a smile, "Why are you so idle today, are you willing to come and see our two old men and old women?" ”
"It's not a Sunday! Besides, didn't I just come here two days ago? Xiaobei turned around and moved the rattan chair, and after putting it away, he pulled Yan Bonian to sit on the chair, pouting and protesting: "Once again, I am a happy bird, not a croaking chicken." If you call it again, I will ignore you. ”
"Good, good, joy bird, joy bird." Yan Bonian muttered loudly, "When did you come back from the plains!" ”
"I came back yesterday afternoon." Xiaobei replied honestly, and took out the tea from his bag and said, "I met the professor's uncle, he is very good, he asked me to bring you a small bag of tea, I will make you a cup to taste?" ”
"A professor is a professor, an uncle is an uncle, and any professor and uncle, you will mess with names." Yan Bonian glared at Xiaobei with disgust, but he still couldn't hide his affection and took the tea in her hand, pinched it a little and looked at it, put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said for a long time: "The best Anxi white tea, it's really good tea." ”
"Or my uncle is right, this tea can only be tasted by our tea fairy", Xiaobei looked at Yan Bonian with admiration, and said attentively: "What's the matter, I'll make you a cup." ”
"Okay! Ask your grandma to find you a big tea pot and make one. Yan Bonian said with a smile.
"Grandpa." Xiaobei shouted dissatisfiedly, and said regretfully: "You still say that you understand tea?" Aren't you a tyrannical thing? ”
"Since it is a celestial object, there should be a place and occasion for the existence of a celestial object, and the canary should be in a delicate and precious cage." Yan Bonian said lightly: "The person who works should be coarse tea and light rice, so as to quench fatigue and quench thirst and solve practical problems." ”
"The old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes." Xiaobei couldn't help but say with admiration: "No wonder my uncle asked me to bring it back to you, I dare to know that you will say this, you are really smart!" ”
"What did your uncle say?" Yan Bonian looked at Xiaobei with a smile, with relief and love in his eyes.
"My professor uncle said that the tea in the hotel can be handled, and there will be no tea to drink when you are used to drinking such tea." Xiaobei pouted.
"Your uncle is still sober." Yan Bonian admired happily, "Girl, let me tell you, no matter how good something is, it's good to know it, don't think about possession and possession." The heart is too small to let go of so many things. Looking at Xiaobei's eyes looking at him with concern, Yan Bonian said like a few treasures: "I'll tell you how this tea came from, the spring in the south came earlier than ours here, a few days before and after the sting, the sky is unknown and you have to go into the tea garden to pick tea, the sun comes out when it ends, the whole process is only about an hour, and it is to select the freshest and most tender bud tips, an experienced tea picker can only pick about a pound of fresh buds a day, and it must be dried in the warm sun in the morning and evening, absolutely not fried and processed, Therefore, the output is very small, and it is a blessing to be able to drink it, and the price is naturally expensive. ”
"Grandpa, you're amazing." Xiaobei's eyes widened, and she said admiringly: "When I came back yesterday, I made a cup for the president, and the president just said yes, but he couldn't tell where it was good, where it was good, you looked at it, smelled it, and chewed it so thoroughly, it's amazing." ”
"This is the experience and experience", Yan Bonian lit a cigarette and smoked, and said slowly: "Grandpa has been to this tea mountain, and he has also seen the process of picking tea and making tea, so he can tell a thing or two." ”
"Grandpa, you are not only good at tea, but also good at work, look at this small garden, it will make you a vegetable garden so soon", Xiaobei changed the topic, looked around, and praised in amazement while watching.
"He's capable, he's talking." Grandma took over the words, walked over and handed a cup of tea to Yan Bonian, and said dissatisfiedly: "You said, a good little garden, everyone has planned it, he had a whim a few days ago, he has to transform it into a vegetable garden, change it, you do it, but it has not been done for a long time, or my old wife has dug such a piece of land one by one, but what has been planted, you ask him." ”
"You don't understand this, if you want to plant something rare." Yan Bonian said smugly, looked at Xiaobei and asked as if he was tortured, "Do you know what grandpa planted?" ”
"I can't even tell the difference between leeks and wheat sprouts, don't ask me." Xiaobei raised his hand to make a surrender form, which caused Yan Bonian and Wang Guifang to laugh.
After Yan Bonian smiled, he said proudly: "This is called purslane, which was accidentally discovered when I went out for a walk a few days ago, and I was tired of walking and sitting by the roadside flower bed to rest. Carefully identified and found that this was purslane, a kind of wild vegetable, when I was young, my mother used to make purslane pancakes for us, or mixed with cold vegetables to eat, which is one of the many wild vegetables that came to my family's table in that era. Now I see more of a surprise in nature, but what is even more surprising is that these inconspicuous wild vegetables are blooming with colorful flowers, red, pink, white, yellow, purple, clumps, patches, although a little messy, but full of vitality. So I carefully pinched some back, and carefully planted it in this little garden, and watered it. You see, the wildflowers that were just planted yesterday and are slightly wilting are much more energetic today, as if they have not undergone any movement or any changes. This kind of dish is indeed too ordinary, whether it is appreciated or appreciated, it is so ordinary that it is impossible to attract people's attention. Inconspicuous flowers, inconspicuous leaves, and inconspicuous branches are always so easy to ignore and forget. As long as there is a suitable environment and climate, as long as there is land and water, no matter how barren, no matter how remote and desolate, it can take root, sprout, bloom and bear seeds, even if life is only a short cycle from spring to autumn, it can grow and survive freely. Where they grow, they don't know, and they can't control it, but if they have a seed rooted in the soil, they will sprout, take root, and bloom green until they bloom and bear fruit, they don't expect the outside world to appreciate, and they don't compete with other flowers, they just grow silently, bloom silently, reincarnate silently, and no attention or care can change their attributes, nor will they bloom more and more brightly in order to get praise. They are free, at least for growth, for survival, there is their free existence and space, so there is no difference in freedom and freedom. In fact, sometimes I think about it, true freedom comes from the heart, and the freedom of the heart is the greatest freedom, and the detachment that is not only heaven and earth can only be born from the heart and go with the heart. ”
"Ruined a small garden, and got all this mess, it seems that I really have nothing to do." Grandma counted affectionately and looked at Xiaobei smiling happily.
"Actually, I think it's good for grandpa to be like this, find something to do, not only make yourself happy, but also exercise your body." Xiaobei said heartily and continued to sit next to her grandfather affectionately.
"Or will my granddaughter coax me to be happy as an old man", Yan Bonian patted Xiaobei's head affectionately and said with emotion: "Zhishi retired and retired to the countryside, but what is the countryside?" In Wang Wei's eyes, it is 'the bright moon and pine trees, the clear spring stone upstream', in Tao Yuanming's view, it is 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan', in Zheng Banqiao's hope, but 'cultivating bamboo and ten thousand roots and roots, the path in front of the door is clear', and in the Bada Shanren, it is really 'a house in the mountains to shelter the wind and rain, and the new fragrance in the garden'. As soon as Lao Tzu Qingniu rode through Hangu, Zhongnan Mountain was his wind and dust, the pastoral that he longed for in his heart, and the perfect realm to which he returned, or the best destination for him to elaborate on the avenue. Whether it is a thatched house or a shed, as long as it is far away from the world, as long as it is quiet and serene, you can tell the mystery of 'Tao gives birth to one, life two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things', and touches the endless fate of all things in the world, and the countryside is the ark that carries all of this. It is precisely because of so much sustenance that the place of ordinary life in the pastoral, in ancient China, is the most beautiful place in the heart outside the court, and it is also the most real fertile soil that can store the ideal of helping the world. Palace, pastoral, between this advance and retreat, in the world, the temple is its ultimate goal, the utilitarian career is often accompanied by secular ideals, the marquis is the highest realm of secular utilitarianism, and the temple is the perfect interpretation of this realm, before or in the process of reaching this ultimate goal, the pastoral is the best relief, and it is also the most able to reflect the illusory ideal of the literati short-lived harbor. The pastoral of the literati is a clear spring, a bamboo cultivation, a chrysanthemum, a sick plum, a quiet self-cultivation, a tranquil natural life, sometimes a short stay, and sometimes just a gesture, and the real pastoral of 'two acres of land and a cow, wife and children hot kang head', has a difference in nature, but also has a difference in cultural implications. There is too much beauty in this kind of countryside, and there is less hardship in hard work. Because the countryside here is not only for the harvest of truth, not only for the continuation of life, but also for the ideal and hope for tranquility, the hope of staying away from the hustle and bustle, the sustenance to solve confusion and soothe the heart, and the spiritual home of indulging body and mind. Therefore, the beauty of the countryside must be based on the necessary materials, and Du Fu's grass house is not his pastoral, but only a place to shelter his body, so the thatched hut can also make him cry out when it is broken by the autumn wind. Cao Xueqin has no pastoral, hunger and cold, just for the painstaking "Dream of Red Mansions". Zhu Ziqing also has no pastoral, the beauty of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" has the expectation in his heart, the days after that are still difficult, still need to adhere to the integrity, and the turbulence of current affairs has also shattered the dream of the literati pastoral, but it seems that the desire for tranquility in the heart cannot be exhausted. To this day, the countryside is still a place of good hope, and it is not the exclusive domain of literati, it has become the collective yearning of the public, behind the hustle and bustle of the city, around the concrete forest, full of bustling traffic, every day is faced with overwhelming sounds, as well as endless competition and dumping. Looking up physically and mentally exhausted, or looking around at helpless contemplation, the lights at night accompanied by a heavy body, lonely in the noisy streets, the countryside has endless attraction in exhaustion, longing and expectation are for those real or illusory beauty, there is a real yearning, even if it is a short escape, even if it is a simple recuperation, even if it is looking up at the starry sky in the silent night, it can be a reason to run to the countryside. Far away from the industrial age of farming, the countryside is also difficult to find, and tranquility and serenity can only be the hope in the heart, looking for the real pastoral, it seems that it is not a difficult thing, but where to find the pastoral of the heart, looking for the primitive and pure that Lao Tzu saw, as well as the tranquility of the heart, the peace of the heart. ”
"Grandpa, you're so sad, it's not good for your body." Xiaobei said with concern, her face was full of worry, and then she announced loudly to Yan Bonian and her grandmother: "Tell you a great thing, our family's affairs are done, next Sunday, my Aunt Liu will come to see you, and I will officially come to see your second elder." ”
"Really, that's great, it's a mess of my heart." Grandma said happily, took Xiaobei's hand, and said excitedly, "Let's go, enter the house." Baby granddaughter, what kind of meal do you want to eat at noon, grandma will cook it for you. ”
"Let's make dumplings! I'm here to help grandma. Xiaobei shouted happily and followed her grandmother to the house, but soon ran back and whispered in Yan Bonian's ear: "My professor uncle asked me to tell you so that you can rest assured." ”
Looking at Xiaobei's back running towards the house, Yan Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and only retracted his gaze for a long time, lit a cigarette, smoked quietly, and slowly inspected the lush courtyard in front of him and the vegetable garden that was gradually showing vitality, with an indescribable joy in his heart, and at the same time felt that he could really enjoy his retirement life in his old age
