said that it was to eat, but the group did not go directly to the restaurant, but was led by the staff and sent Yao Bingxin and other guests to the room that had been arranged already to solve personal problems.

At the beginning of getting off the bus, it was to listen to the report, and it was nearly two hours at once, which was indeed not a simple thing for Yao Bingxin, who was already close to his sixtieth birthday, the fatigue of the journey, coupled with the tense meetings and thinking, as well as racking his brains to deal with and maneuver, it was necessary to have a little time to rest, even if it was just to take a breath quietly, it was also a kind of buffer.

In addition, Qi Tianxiang also knew that it was not only Yao Bingxin's body and tired brain that needed to be buffered, but also the adjustment of thoughts, especially the unity of thought of the personnel he brought, which required time and quiet space.

Not only does Yao Bingxin need to do this, but Qi Tianxiang also needs to have a time to verify some important things, so that his doubts can have a clear answer, so that he can better deal with them, and he and Yao Bingxin both need to have a little time.

After instructing Fang Jianshe to send Yao Bingxin to the room, Qi Tianxiang and Yao Bingxin temporarily shook hands and said goodbye, and watched Yao Bingxin and his party leave by elevator, and Qi Tianxiang and Wang Ping and Liao Yong took the elevator to the floor where they lived.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Tianxiang said solemnly to Zhou Tong, who followed behind him, without breathing: "Immediately find out through the relationship, what is the origin of the young man who spoke just now, I always feel that this person is not simple." ”

Zhou Tong nodded slightly, watched Qi Tianxiang sit on the sofa, turned around and prepared to leave, but it seemed that something had not been implemented, and he looked back at Qi Tianxiang and said: "Is there a time to arrange in the evening, you talk to Minister Yao alone, I always feel that the minister came back with a lot of pressure, maybe this is just my guess, not necessarily accurate." ”

Qi Tianxiang glanced at Zhou Tong deeply, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said meaningfully: "Even if I want to talk, he doesn't necessarily have the mood to talk, not to mention that he won't say anything, don't you see?" He's been trying to push us to the forefront, I'm not sure why that's happening, but it must have something to do with this young man. Let's not think about it so much, let's make this young man's bottom pedal clear first, Minister Yao will stay here for a few days, and some time will be to touch his hole cards. ”

Zhou Tong deeply admired Qi Tianxiang's plan and layout, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up and shook Qi Tianxiang a few times, then turned around and went out with a slight smile, implemented Qi Tianxiang's doubts, and took the door with him.

Qi Tianxiang waited until the room was quiet, lit a cigarette, thought about how to verify the second question, glanced at the watch on his wrist, thought for a while before taking out his mobile phone, did not send a message, but directly dialed Wang Jinhu's mobile phone.

After the phone was connected, Qi Tianxiang did not speak, but listened carefully to the environment where Wang Jinhu was, judging his current situation, when he heard Wang Jinhu's polite salutation, and determined which side of Wang Jinhu was suitable for talking, he slowly asked: "Where are you?" Is it convenient to speak? ”

"I just got home from work, and I'm driving on the road when I hear your call and pull over." Wang Jinhu said in a calm voice, as if he was chatting with an old friend, but he still clearly heard the caution in his words, and then explained: "There is no problem on my side, and no one intervenes to answer the phone temporarily." ”

Qi Tianxiang heard the meaning of Wang Jinhu's words, and appreciated his sensitivity and feeling, so he thought for a while and then suggested: "It's not a matter of one or two sentences, you park the car in a safe place, and then call me, it's always unsafe to park cars on the side of the road." ”

"It's okay, the place I'm parking now is safe and doesn't affect traffic." Wang Jinhu seemed to know that Qi Tianxiang would say this, and there was a faint hint of emotion in his words, but he quickly said seriously: "Your time is precious, so I won't delay your time much, if you have any orders, please tell me!" ”

Listening to Wang Jinhu's empathetic words, Qi Tianxiang no longer insisted, indeed his time is very precious, so he asked bluntly: "When was the material you gave me written?" Did you do it alone? ”

Qi Tianxiang's question made Wang Jinhu feel a little remorseful, and he was also annoyed by his carelessness when he sent the email, he should explain the relevant situation, lest Qi Tianxiang have such questions, but if he thinks so, he still hurriedly replied: "This material was written a few years ago, and it was written jointly with a reporter in Beijing in order to cooperate with the environmental protection campaign. Later, I supplemented the medical and disease content, which was not provided to any news unit, and very few people even in our newspaper knew about it. ”

Qi Tianxiang listened to Wang Jinhu's explanation, and then asked: "The manuscript has not been sent, how did which of your reporter friends deal with it?" Which departments and leaders have they passed on? Do you know about these situations? ”

"After the manuscript was written, in addition to the environmental newspaper and the organizing committee of Wanlixing, he also handed it over to some colleagues from the Ministry of Land and Resources, and he didn't know which link had a problem, and the manuscript was pressed down, and finally after the Minister of Environmental Protection Yao Bingxin asked, compiled and issued an internal reference." Wang Jinhu recalled the scene at that time, and said clearly and accurately: "Because it was in cooperation with his writing, I did not do any processing, let alone spread it in the province, and you are the first leader I have seen so far." ”

Qi Tianxiang felt Wang Jinhu's nervousness, and knew that he was a little overhearted, so he changed his tone and said gently: "I just ask casually, you don't have to think about it." Your materials are very good, very timely, and have been of great help in the handling of the incident, and I will handle this material properly. ”

Qi Tianxiang seemed to think of something inadvertently as he spoke, and asked lightly: "Regarding the situation of mineral development and joint ventures, as well as the boss behind the scenes, what else do you know when you investigate?" ”

"The investigation is not going well, basically it is an unannounced visit, and acquaintances in Shanyin City and Guishui County are reluctant to talk about this matter, and it seems that they have a lot of concerns." Wang Jinhu thought for a moment and replied seriously: "The situation has been grasped somewhat, but since it has not been confirmed, it has not been reflected in the materials provided to you." In short, I feel that this company is not simple, although it is only an import and export trading company in Hong Kong, but it can make all aspects of Guishui County obey his orders, and there are local armed police checkpoints to provide protection, outsiders can not enter the mining area at all, even if they go to the seat of the Pingba Township Government, if there are no locals to accompany them, they will be interrogated at any time. Workers also go to work collectively, and they are not allowed to go out at ordinary times, let alone come into contact with them. ”

Wang Jinhu spoke, his tone was low, and he added a little mysteriously: "It is said that the boss of this company is just an agent, and he usually does not show up in the mining area, and the real backstage boss is the son of a retired old cadre in the military circles. These are all rumors, not well documented, and just heard. ”

When Qi Tianxiang heard Wang Jinhu say this, he knew that he had already told everything he had learned, so he smiled and said, "Okay, it's nothing, you can continue to drive home quickly!" When we return to the provincial capital, we will take the time to talk, and you can also go to the provincial government to talk to me when you have time. ”

Qi Tianxiang hung up his mobile phone as he spoke, in fact, he knew that what he said in the end was polite words, not to mention Wang Jinhu, the director of the news department, or the editor-in-chief or president of the newspaper with a younger position, and it was not possible to go to the provincial government to talk to Qi Tianxiang casually. This is the partition caused by the level, and it is not something that he Qi Tianxiang or Wang Jinhu can change.

ended the call with Wang Jinhu, and basically confirmed Qi Tianxiang's earlier judgment, Yao Bingxin not only read this material, but also hoped to make a difference, but all he could do was to compile and distribute an internal reference, whether it could attract the attention of the leaders, he was powerless to intervene.

Thinking like this, Qi Tianxiang lit another cigarette, and before he took a puff, he saw Zhou Tong hurriedly pushing the door in, so he looked directly at Zhou Tong, slowly stood up, and did not ask questions, but waited for Zhou Tong's conclusion. In fact, there is no need to wait for Zhou Tong to speak, Qi Tianxiang already knows the answer.

Zhou Tong approached Qi Tianxiang, looked at him and nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Your senses are very acute and accurate, this is which Jia Gongzi, I don't know how to enter Yao Bingxin's five-person investigation team, and his public identity is the deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Environmental Protection." ”

Qi Tianxiang smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Tong to sit down, and then said, he also sat down slowly, still looking at Zhou Tong with his eyes like a torch, waiting for him to tell further.

"Here is the deputy director of the General Office of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and there is a war staff officer of the General Logistics Department of the Military Commission, and he is also a Canadian, the legal representative of Hong Kong Dingsheng Import and Export Trading Company, and maybe there are other identities." Speaking of this, Zhou Tong seemed to be a little emotional, and said indignantly: "I really don't know how a person can have so many identities, and I don't know how it can be like this." ”

"This is what we call the elite, that is, the successors of our so-called respected politicians, who on the one hand shout about the confidence of the system and the road, and on the other hand, send their children to study abroad and join the foreigners. That's not all, let those sons and buddies with foreign passports become the bosses of foreign-funded enterprises, return to China, take advantage of the loopholes in the system and the imperfection of the system, and wantonly reap economic benefits. I really don't know if we, the venerable old leaders, can still remember the oath they took when they raised their hands back then? I don't know if this result is what they advocated at the beginning? Qi Tianxiang couldn't help but say angrily, but soon felt that his language and attitude were very inappropriate, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, stood up, and said to Zhou Tong with a smile: "Let's solve the stomach problem first!" Don't let Minister Yao and our Jia Gongzi wait in a hurry. ”

Qi Tianxiang spoke, looked at Zhou Tong who was smiling helplessly, and with the same expression, he tacitly walked out of the room one after the other, and walked towards the restaurant.
