Chapter 244: To Let It Go or Not to Let It Go
Mayor Don McHua's house is very simple, with outdated floor tiles, old sofas pulled from his hometown, and a set of modular furniture that has even been peeled off the paint and mottled.
The only extravagance should be the antique bookshelf in the study, and the rows of densely packed books displayed on the shelves. If you look closely, you can also find that it is basically a very rare thread-bound ancient book!
On the wall of the study is a pair of calligraphy and paintings, on which is written "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is self-improving".
Tang Maihua sat on a rattan chair in the study, his face pale.
Wang Biao stood in front of Tang Maihua, respectful, and didn't dare to say a word.
"Biaozi, you've disappointed me so much." Tang Maihua said coldly for a long time.
Wang Biao said in a trembling voice: "Father-in-law, it was Zhao Xiaojun who bullied people too much, and I couldn't hold back when he made the first move." If he only says bad things about me, I can tolerate it. But Zhao Xiaojun not only scolded Dong Xiang, but also didn't take you seriously at all, I couldn't help it, and gave him a lesson. ”
"Really?" A cold light appeared in Tang Maihua's eyes, staring at Wang Biao's body, "Don't think I don't know, you are standing up for your childhood friend Li Jiatao." ”
"Father-in-law, Li Jiatao passed by the box I was in at that time and knew that I was there." Wang Biao looked a little aggrieved, "Didn't you tell me again and again that I should have a good relationship with Li Jiatao?" ”
"I asked you to have a good relationship with Li Jiatao, but I didn't let you fight for him." Tang Maihua said angrily, "Now that the matter is so big, Zhao Xiaojun has also been detained by Lu Changtian, and several brothers in the Zhao family have called me, what do you want me to do?" ”
"That's what you need to do." Wang Biao muttered.
"What?" Tang Maihua snorted coldly.
"Father-in-law." Wang Biao sneered, "You may not know that the person who stayed in a box with Li Jiatao at that time was not only Sun Wen, the deputy captain of the criminal police team, but also the woman named Song Hanyan. ”
"I know this Song Hanyan, she is the young lady of the Song family in the capital, and she has a big background." Tang Maihua's frowning brows loosened slightly, "If you make a move because of this Miss Song's presence, it can be regarded as a far-fetched reason." ”
"Zhao Xiaojun is looking for death by himself, and he wants to play hooligan on Song Hanyan." Wang Biao said with a smile, "If I hadn't made a move, once Li Jiatao made a move, Zhao Xiaojun would have either a broken arm or a broken leg." Li Jiatao's skills, you know. ”
"That's better than your shot." Tang Maihua became angry again, "Even if Li Jiatao beats Zhao Xiaojun into a cripple, it is also a matter for Li Jiatao and the Zhao family." It's good now, the Zhao family has settled all the accounts on my head. ”
"Zhao Xiaojun is too arrogant and too outrageous." Wang Biao smiled and said, "Father-in-law, you can just take the opportunity to clean him up and improve your prestige." ”
Tang Maihua smiled angrily: "What you said is light! If you can take the Zhao family, you have to wait until today. Why has Secretary Ouyang of the Municipal Party Committee not made a move? ”
"But Lu Changtian, the secretary of politics and law, made a move, didn't he get quite close to Ouyang Qiang?" Wang Biao said with some unconvincing, "There may not be Ouyang Qiang's instructions in this." ”
"You know what?" Tang Maihua said angrily, "Although Lu Changtian is quite close to Ouyang Qiang, he is not Ouyang Qiang's person. Lu Changtian and Ouyang Mingfu, secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, are both people from Governor Zhao Dongfang. ”
"Huh?" Wang Biao was taken aback, "How can this be?" ”
"What do you think Lu Changtian 's kindness is, he deliberately pulled the matter you out of me today, just to provoke the relationship between me and the Zhao family." Tang Maihua sighed, "Biaozi, you are too reckless. Now the people of the Zhao family have settled the account on my head, and they can't explain it clearly. ”
After a pause, Tang Maihua continued: "However, there is one thing I don't understand, why Ouyang Qiang has not expressed his position, doesn't he know the relationship between the Zhao family and Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee." ”
Wang Biao hesitated for a while before he said tentatively: "Father-in-law, I heard some rumors that Song Qingming, secretary of the provincial party committee, has now lost power, and the current Chunan Province is the world of the governor Zhao Dongfang. Ouyang Qiang will not switch to Governor Zhao Dongfang's disciples. ”
"It can't be!" Tang Maihua didn't even think about it, so he said categorically, "If Ouyang Qiang does this, the officialdom of Chunan Province is afraid that there will be no place for him to stand, and everyone will despise his character." In officialdom, this kind of thing is very taboo, and no one will easily challenge this unspoken rule. ”
Wang Biao was a little unconvinced and said: "Wang Zhiyuan was not Sun Wenzhe's person, why did he switch to your disciple?" ”
"You?" Tang Maihua was not lightly breathed, and gasped for a while, but he was unwilling to mention more about Wang Zhiyuan's matter, "Those are two different things." ”
"Zhao Xiaojun has indeed done a lot of evil, I have heard of it for a long time." Wang Biao said, "Father-in-law, you just cleaned up Zhao Xiaojun this time, otherwise, the people of the Zhao family still think that our Tang family is easy to bully." ”
Mayor Tang Maihua has no son, and when he heard Wang Biao mention the word "Tang family", his face softened a little: "Biaozi, I treat you as a son, and I have high expectations for you, don't let me down." ”
After a pause, Tang Maihua continued: "Things in officialdom are very complicated, don't look at me as the mayor of Yandu City, maybe one day, I will come down from this position." When the time comes, you'll be on your own. I let you get closer to Li Jiatao, not that I need to use Li Jiatao's kid to do anything, but I want to leave you a way out. ”
"Father-in-law, I ......" Wang Biao became excited, "No matter when, I am a member of the Tang family." ”
"Silly boy." Tang Maihua's tone softened a little, and he said quite emotionally, "Biaozi, you ask yourself, how does I, Tang Maihua, treat you?" Let me tell you, I'm also walking a tightrope now, the reason why I haven't taken measures against Zhao Xiaojun all the time, do you think I don't know what Zhao Xiaojun did? What that guy did was outraged! ”
After a pause, Tang Maihua continued: "But the relationship between the Zhao family and Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee is very complicated, inextricably linked, and I haven't figured it out, how can I make a rash move?" ”
"What then?" Wang Biao asked tentatively.
"Zhao Xiaojun still wants to let go." Tang Maihua sighed, "I have to let go, otherwise, Secretary Song of the Provincial Party Committee will only have thoughts about me." It's just that I can't put it for the time being, so let's take a look at the movements of the Song family in the capital first. ”
"Father-in-law, you are far-sighted and thoughtful." Wang Biao is convinced now.
