Peng Qun got up early, this is a habit he has developed for many years, and the formation of this habit can be said to have started from the experience of the military station in the past few years. [Ran^Text^Library] As long as there is a convoy to stop at the military station, it is necessary to get up early, check the condition of the vehicle, and take a blowtorch and wood in advance in winter, and thaw and warm the water tank of the vehicle, so that the comrades-in-arms of the convoy can wake up and start smoothly, which is the responsibility of the military station and the embodiment of the friendship between the comrades-in-arms. At the end of the year, there are very few times when there are no cars to stop at the military station, and there are only two kinds of this situation, one is when the supply is relatively sufficient in summer, and the transportation of the convoy can supply the plateau garrison for a long time. One is the harsh winter, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and normal transportation and supply cannot be carried out, so the garrison has to rely on reserves to cope with the harsh winter. Generally, these two situations do not last for a long time, so the convoy is always constant on weekdays, and sometimes although there is no convoy, only one or two vehicles, this is the time when the military station should pay more attention. When one or two vehicles are transported, or to perform important tasks, or to transport important equipment and materials, it is necessary to be on duty overnight to maintain the vehicles so that the tasks of the comrades-in-arms can be successfully completed. It is this characteristic that makes Peng Qun develop the habit of getting up early, no matter how late he sleeps, he will be able to get up on time in the morning, and this habit has persisted until now.

Waking up early today is not only a habit, but also the idea of a chance encounter. Yesterday I didn't have the opportunity to talk to Vice Governor Huang alone, which always made Peng Qun feel unsure, and I wanted to know who called him before dinner last night, which made his mood change so much, and so many things happened yesterday, I really wanted to hear Vice Governor Huang's views and instructions, hoping to give him a clear explanation, or hint that it was okay.

Last night, he was coldly invited out of the room by Vice Governor Huang, and Peng Qun didn't dare to knock on the door in the morning. He knew that Vice Governor Huang had the habit of getting up early and exercising in the morning, and he had insisted on it for many years, so getting up early and accompanying the governor for morning exercise as if he had met could also have a chance to speak.

From more than five o'clock in the morning to nearly seven o'clock, I didn't see Vice Governor Huang's morning exercise, and there was no strange sound from which room, it seems that Vice Governor Huang missed the appointment, which phone call, or was he too tired yesterday, Peng Qun guessed that the reason for the phone call was bigger.

If I didn't see Vice Governor Huang's morning exercise, I couldn't rashly have breakfast with the governor, and the reception was all in charge of the special personnel of the county party committee office, and the chief official of a county accompanied him to breakfast, no matter what, it was out of place and out of order.

Peng Qun could only continue to wait, and after breakfast, Vice Governor Huang appeared in the conference room in high spirits to listen to the collective work report of the leaders of the party and government groups of Pingyuan County, which was the arranged agenda.

Vice Governor Huang listened patiently to the report, constantly recording some key points and figures in his notebook, nodding and smiling frequently, and seemed to be very satisfied with Pingyuan's work. After conscientiously listening to the work reports of Peng Qun and Hao Han, Vice Governor Huang issued important instructions, fully affirming the economic development and progress of the plains, and especially the joint force formed by the unity and coordination of the party and government bodies in the plains. "The party committee supports the work of the government team, and on the premise of controlling major problems and major principles and policies, it lets the government carry out its work, and has achieved great results, which is inseparable from the mutual help and concession of the team members. Vice Governor Huang particularly emphasized the need to be calm and distinguish the essence of the problem, dare to be responsible, dare to take responsibility, have the courage to share the worries and solve problems for the higher authorities, and even be prepared to sacrifice oneself when necessary. Speaking of this, Vice Governor Huang glanced at Peng Qun meaningfully, and then talked about the relationship between improving people's livelihood and developing the economy, but Peng Qun never heard anything again, only the word sacrifice was deeply engraved in his mind.

Due to the time constraints, Vice Governor Huang also had to accompany the leaders from Beijing to catch a plane at Hehai Airport, so the report and instructions ended in a hurry, and the members of the party and government groups in Pingyuan County collectively sent Vice Governor Huang and the leaders from Beijing down the office building. When bidding farewell to Vice Governor Huang and getting into the car, Peng Qun held Vice Governor Huang's hand tightly, his eyes were hopeful, longing, and even a little begging, Vice Governor Huang politely patted the back of Peng Qun's hand, gently withdrew his hand, waved goodbye to the people who saw him off with a warm smile, turned to get in the car and left.

Peng Qun's heart was empty, as if his mind was taken away by a speeding car, and only the car that was gradually moving away slowly disappeared in his eyes.

Seeing off the leaders, Peng Qun surprisingly exchanged a few words with the big guys, turned around and went upstairs to his office, leaving the stunned Hao Han and the Standing Committee members, not knowing where to go. According to the usual practice, after the leaders have inspected and left, there must be a brief standing committee, one is to arrange and implement the spirit of the leader's speech, and the other is to arrange the next step of work according to the spirit, but today Peng Qun seems to have forgotten this.

"Director Qiao, you go back to Secretary Peng's office to ask for instructions, do you need to have a small meeting to unify your thinking." Hao Han looked at Qiao Shang with a smile and explained. Slowly walked with several members of the Standing Committee to turn around and walk upstairs.

Qiao Shang got Hao Han's instructions, hurriedly walked upstairs, walked to Peng Qun's office, knocked on the door and pushed the door in, and saw that Peng Qun was sitting on the sofa pondering something. After waiting for a while, he didn't see Peng Qun speak, so he cautiously lowered his voice and asked, "County Magistrate Hao asked me to ask for instructions, do you want to open the next Standing Committee?" ”

The words seemed to wake Peng Qun up from his contemplation immediately, he looked at Qiao Shang in a daze for a long time, and then seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of Qiao Shang's words, settled down, and said slowly: "Don't open it!" You go and inform the Standing Committee members, and arrange a time to open another day. After saying that, he decided for a while, and saw Qiao Shang turn around to leave, so he added: "You go and talk to County Magistrate Hao, let her go to the convention and exhibition center on behalf of the county party committee and government, and thank the merchants who came to participate in the exhibition and negotiate." After speaking, he waved his hand and let Qiao Shang leave.

Looking at the back of Qiao Shang leaving, Peng Qun immediately realized that he had lost his temper, not only Hao Han saw it, but all the Standing Committee members also saw it, otherwise there would be no such questioning. Thinking of Qiao Shang's expressions after going to the small conference room to inform the Standing Committee members, it would definitely bring more speculation and questions, but now Peng Qun didn't have the heart to pay attention to everyone's speculation, and he couldn't even stand up and walk to the conference room to explain to everyone, his heart was instantly emptied, and what emptied his mind was the word "sacrifice". It seems that this time Vice Governor Huang is going to sacrifice him Peng Qun to protect himself, and he must also know the weight of what Peng Qun has in his hands. This is also after Peng Qun came to the plains, for Vice Governor Huang's lure, and after that, Sister Yu's coercion, as well as Gao Shan's pressure and unscrupulousness, Peng Qun began to purposefully protect himself and counteract, and collected a lot of materials from Vice Governor Huang through various ways and methods, hoping to save his life at a critical time, and also hinted that Vice Governor Huang and Sister Yu got not only appeasement, but also actual promises. For example, the promise of entering the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, or the deputy mayor, these are difficult to make Peng Qun believe, because he is no longer his person, he has long been classified to the level of betrayal, all the promises are just appeasement, just like the doctor's comfort to the dying patient, it is good to listen to and comfortable but has no practical meaning at all, and the only meaning is to let them know that he Peng Qun can also die with them, this is the forced helpless fish to die and break the net, which can temporarily keep him safe, if it can last for a few years, it can even ensure his safe landingBut this time it seems that this is not the case, but they will have to sacrifice him to save themselves. This also made Peng Qun think of the director of the Deqing County Party Committee Office who had been accepted on his behalf, removed from his post and investigated, although it was not done in the end, but he still retired early when he was not yet the retirement age, and his political life ended from then on, and will he be such a consequence? Peng Qun felt afraid, and the consequences may be more serious, I am afraid that it is not a question of whether to lose his official position, and there may be a prison sentence.

Huang Qing's expression and attitude show this, refusing to meet, refusing to talk, and even refusing to make deeper eye contact, which clearly conveys Huang Qing's attitude and willingness, and many things that he is unwilling to say are clearly stated in his speech and instructions. Sacrifice, why sacrifice, and why sacrifice yourself, this is also a question that Peng Qun can't figure out anyway, so that the mobile phone text message prompt sounded for a long time and didn't pick it up to watch, until a cigarette was smoked, and then slowly picked up the mobile phone to read the text message.

The text message was sent by Huang Qing, with only a few short sentences: "It's easy to talk about big things, but it's hard to trust small things, so it's good to do it yourself." ”

Text messaging has now become a popular way of communication between officials, no matter when and under what state, they can send text messages to communicate. Even if it is not very convenient, it can be sent and received and replied at a convenient time, that is, it does not affect work and activities, nor does it affect the exchange and communication of information, often just a few words or a sentence, and many things are subtly transmitted. Sometimes it's just an innocuous yellow joke, which also conveys the mood and state of the texter, and it's all one-on-one communication, private and safe, deleted after reading, and some agreements or meanings to be said are clearly communicated.

Huang Qing likes this kind of communication very much, jokingly called making telegrams, and in order to show his talent and difference, he often uses the form of four-character phrases, which seems to be different. But such a text message made Peng Qun even more confused, as if he was clearly telling him that his own affairs could only be handled or undertaken by himself, and Huang Qing could speak on major matters, but it would be difficult to plead for small things, and the difference between big things and small things might be everyone's business or personal matter. Many things are often like this, seemingly big things, even dead people or major accidents, can be eliminated into the invisible after operation and turning, and after a seemingly complicated Tai Chi pusher-like exchange. It's very similar to the duel between two top martial arts masters, it looks like a bloody fight of life and death, but after a simple duel or change, the clouds open and the fog disperses, the birds and flowers are fragrant, this is the skill. When no one can hurt anyone or there is no chance of winning, self-preservation is often the highest choice, so it is impossible to see the tragedy of losing both sides and dying or living. This is especially true in officialdom, both of which have weaknesses and things that need to be tied or protected, so intercession only needs to point out the key points of the other party, and it is an exchange and compromise of conditions, which is called negotiation in the shopping mall, and it is an exchange in officialdom. No matter how big the thing is, it is impossible for one person to do it, and the bigger and more complicated the matter, the more so, which is just like a big war, the larger the number of troops used, the more safe the coach is, the more strong men to fight, the smaller the responsibility of the coach, because the coach can do less things, and the same is true for major things, the more sensational the more involved in the large number of things, the smaller the responsibility of the leader, you can not know, you can not know, the person who carries the black pot can always be found. It doesn't matter if it's voluntarily or forced, it's important that someone can keep the manager out safely. There are ghosts who have died unjustly all the time, and war is the politics of bloodshed, and politics is a bloodless war, and it has always been so.

Compared with the easy exculpation of big things, small things are not so easy to intercede. Drunk driving is drunk driving, as long as you are caught, no one can change this fact, and the most taboo corruption and life style problems in the officialdom, as long as there is actual and conclusive evidence, it is difficult for anyone to intercede or excuse them. This is most obvious in Peng Qun, accepting gifts for funerals, you can let the director of the county party committee office take the blame without knowing it, and without involving anything else, Huang Qing can easily help him get rid of it, but now the problems in his work and personal life are difficult for anyone to help him clear his name, the key is to see if Huang Qing is willing to come to the rescue, and it is not impossible. It is completely possible to use the bad impact caused by the huge incident of fraudulent loans and private financing as an excuse to investigate Peng Qun's leadership responsibility, dismiss or transfer him on the spot, and then make a comeback or excessive in a different place after the matter subsides, and he can see the number of ways he can see, I believe that a veteran officialdom like Huang Qing will not fail to see it, but he seems to have felt that he is of little use and is ready to abandon him.

Peng Qun felt unwilling, a fire was also burning in his heart, he thought for a while, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Huang Qingye: "The net is open, each is convenient, the fish is dead and the net is broken, what can I do." ”

After sending the text message, Peng Qun dialed the phone number of Manager Wang of the mobile company again, he wanted to find out what was going on on the phone call before dinner last night, this matter was blocked in his heart, and if he didn't figure it out, he didn't know what was going on and how to deal with it.

"Xiao Wang, you can help me do something right away." Peng Qun concisely but unquestionably arranged for Manager Wang, he was completely relieved about this Xiao Wang, so he didn't have to hide anything, "You can help me check the call record of this number last night, especially the call from half past five to six o'clock." Peng Qun gave Huang Qing's phone number to Manager Wang, and then waited anxiously for him to help him solve the mystery.

Manager Wang is his sister's brother-in-law, after graduating from college, he was assigned to work in Qinghe Mobile Company, he did a good job, and he was also diligent, and he became the leader of the department in a few years. The young man was very grateful to him, and he also helped him with a lot of things obediently, tracking and monitoring the telephone communications of team members or other people who needed attention was very important, and the young man never let him down, and he did it very secretly.

In fact, Peng Qun wanted Xiao Wang to check it last night, considering that he had to meet today, he didn't rush to do so, but now it is urgent, and he must know what is going on in the middle. Just while waiting for Manager Wang's call, Huang Qing's text message replied, still a few simple words: "It's not too late to make amends." Seon Dema, how do you know if it is a blessing? Discretion. ”

Peng Qun was a little stunned, and the allusions in Huang Qing's text messages had been said on various occasions more than once. In order to show his elegance and literary brilliance, this leader often uses idioms and allusions and poems and sentences in his speeches, which seems to have a profound cultural heritage, in fact, he knows that his secretaries have at hand, Tang and Song poems and idioms Dictionary, are all essential books, according to different occasions or activities, to provide him with different poems and allusions, for him to use, God knows how many of these poems he has read, and can remember a few sentences.

But these two allusions were heard from Huang Qing at home after the Spring Festival this year, and they were very solemn. That was after Huang Qing became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and vice governor of the Standing Committee as he wished, several of his old subordinates rushed to congratulate him and listen to what he said at his family banquet. said that it is a family banquet, but in fact, there is a choice, and the threshold is very high, less than 200,000, and the door cannot be entered. Peng Qun also sent 100,000 yuan first, and later heard that the inside information had sent another 100,000 yuan, so he was notified to participate in the third batch.

"I just don't like to do big things and make a big deal, get a big hotel, notify all relevant and irrelevant people, isn't this an opportunity to make money? Do you know whether people are willing to come or not, whether they are willing to make chickens and dogs jump, which not only has a bad impact, but also hurts the feelings between comrades. "Huang Qing is unwilling to do a large-scale collection of wealth, and he doesn't dare to do it, he only accepts what he thinks he should receive, old subordinates, old relationships, and even people who have been gracious along the way. He is not worried that these people can't afford to give it, just as the joke says, in the eyes of corrupt officials, all cadres are corrupt officials, or people who can't afford to make money early. All women are prostitutes in the eyes of prostitutes, and all men are prostitutes in the eyes of prostitutes. He knew who his subordinates were, and what kind of background and handle they had, especially people like Peng Qun who were promoted with illness, they couldn't give up the life-saving rope that stretched out, even if this rope would one day become a noose, because they had no choice but to be at the mercy of Huang Qing. There are many such people, Peng Qun is not the first, and will definitely not be the last. Peng Qun admired Huang Qing's ability and strategy to control his subordinates, using weaknesses and defects to control people, this trick was too yin, but it really worked. The sturdiness of the network woven in this way is immeasurable. Such an ordinary so-called family banquet to celebrate promotion, the benefits received are not more than millions of real money, Peng Qun really feels that what he has done is at best a petty fight, in the final analysis, it is still the style of a little thief, and Huang Qing is the style of Jiangyang thieves, such corruption is the real insurance and reliable income.

"Everyone knows the allusions that are not too late, so I won't narrate them, I will only talk about the meaning. It may seem tragic that the sheep runs away and seems to have nothing left, but not from another perspective. When the sheep run away and the sheepfold is still there, they will be able to continue raising sheep and raise more sheep. The sheep running incident is just a reminder to the shepherds, to build a strong sheepfold, so that bad things become good things, as long as the sheepfold is built, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses, but you can learn from the lesson, and the temporary losses can be made up. Huang Qing seemed casual but continued meaningfully: "Let's talk about the allusion of Seong's horse, which actually evolved from Seon's lost horse. Seon's horse was lost, but he was very happy, because he lost a mare and brought back two stallions, which is a model of not panicking, and he can comfort himself, but after winning the horse, Seon is not happy, because then there is a tragedy of his son breaking his leg while riding a horse, this is the relationship between gain and loss, this is dialectics. The change between gains and losses is not transferred by people's will, so there is a change of interests between reluctance, so don't rejoice in what you barely get, don't necessarily lose in which aspects, or look at the gains and losses comprehensively, sometimes giving is gaining. ”

It should be said that Huang Qing's eloquence is absolutely first-class, he can not only say what he means accurately, but also make you admire what you want to say through language, and he can use the advantage of saying first to block what you want to say, this is conspiracy, but also wisdom, and it is political wisdom when applied to officialdom. But what does it mean to send such a message at this time, make a sacrifice yourself, and then he can help make up for it. What does Seondema mean, even if he can get a certain amount of protection after his fish is broken, it will bring greater disasters, and where will it be affected? Peng Qun didn't know, but soon had an answer.

First of all, the little brother Peng Gang called, and as soon as he came up, he said with a crying voice: "I received a notice from the station just now that I was suspended." The reason is that I received a red envelope from the company in a news interview, which was more than a year ago, why did I come to investigate now, someone must have deliberately rectified me. ”

"Don't cry yet, a big man, what does it look like to cry." Peng Qun reprimanded Peng Gang sharply, but for this little brother, he is the most beloved, not only because the two of them are more than ten years apart, but this younger brother has been well-behaved, obedient, and shy like a little girl since he was a child, he must protect him, and he must also protect him, "Don't worry, I'll understand the situation first." ”

Hung up his brother's phone, Peng Qun immediately thought of Huang Qing, as the former secretary of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee, the current member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and the executive vice governor, he has the ability and can do it, but will he take his younger brother, an ordinary TV reporter, for him? He was a little incredulous. He did not hesitate, and immediately talked to his old comrade-in-arms, Liu Menglei, deputy director of Haicheng TV Station, on the phone, and it was confirmed that he had indeed just received a call from above, asking for a crackdown on professional bribery of journalists.

confirmed these, and also confirmed Peng Qun's guess, it was indeed for him, but the call to his brother was still as tactful and gentle as possible, "You don't have to worry, you are not the only one who is investigating, and the phenomenon of you receiving red envelopes is not new now, so you have to open a little." ”

"That's right, but I'm in the publicity period of the director of the information department now, and once I find out something, it's all over." As he spoke, Peng Gang cried again, and seemed to be able to cry immediately.

"Okay, okay, brother knows, brother will arrange it." Peng Qun comforted his younger brother and tried his best to be amiable.

"Then thank you brother", Peng Gang's grateful words seemed to continue, but he couldn't say too much to his brother, so he changed the topic and said: "Brother pay more attention to your body, don't be tired, sister-in-law is not around, you have to be more careful." ”

Putting down his brother's phone, Peng Qun felt a trace of warmth in his heart, that is, this younger brother has a sweet mouth, has eyes, and is very good at doing things. When his younger brother graduated from university, according to Peng Qun's meaning, he was going to arrange him to the county cultural bureau or TV station, because this younger brother likes literature and art, and he is studying TV editing and directing. But my younger brother insisted on going to Haicheng TV, no matter how he said it, it was useless. The younger brother was also spoiled by his mother, and the youngest brother, it is reasonable for his mother to favor him, and his mother spoke and asked Peng Qun to do it well. There was no way, Peng Qun had to ask his comrades-in-arms who were the deputy director of Haicheng TV Station to do this. Later, I learned that my younger brother insisted on going to Haicheng TV because his girlfriend in college was Haicheng, and he joined the TV station after graduation. This made Peng Qun very angry, for the sake of a girlfriend, he gave up his familiar environment and interpersonal circle, and went to an unfamiliar environment to work hard, isn't it stupid? So that for nearly ten years, he is still an ordinary reporter, if he is put in Deqing City, he can't be the director, at least he should be a deputy director, but there is no way to say, after all, his younger brother is older and has his own thoughts and ideas, and some things are not easy to say directly, and Peng Qun feels that although he is only eleven years old with his younger brother, his thoughts and ideas are like two generations.

From this, I also thought of the phone call from my brother not long ago, and excitedly told Peng Qun that he was going to be the director of the news department and had already started the investigation. On the phone, he could clearly feel his irrepressible excitement and excitement, his voice was trembling slightly, and he kept talking about the difficulty of getting this job, the process, hardships, and even the details, what he could think of at that moment, almost poured out to Peng Qun, and there was no room for him to interject and ask. Finally his narration paused, Peng Qun may have been upset at the time, maybe he was feeling bad, so he said casually: "It's cold in high places, little brother, have you thought about it?" ”

I talked about my brother all of a sudden, and I haven't replied for a long time. Maybe I asked this at this time, maybe I was thinking, and after a moment I said softly, "I'm willing to try." ”

Peng Qun quickly realized the coldness in his words, and felt quite regretful, such a happy moment, how to say this, and why this tone, and immediately explained: "Brother, aren't you very good as a reporter now?" Isn't it nice to be an uncrowned king, free and easy, regardless of heaven and earth? Why do you want to be the director of the information department? ”

"The uncrowned king is not a king after all, it looks very glamorous to outsiders, but it is not bullshit in Taiwan. I'm in my thirties, so it's time to have some career foundation. ”

Peng Qun had nothing to say, and realized that he had neglected his brother's feelings. He thinks it's good for his younger brother to be a reporter, he doesn't have much to do every day, he participates in meetings, shoots some leadership activities, is relaxed and free, his income is not bad, and he doesn't have any complicated entanglements in officialdom, so he doesn't care much about his position and future. An old comrade-in-arms once told him that he had the intention to promote his younger brother, but Peng Qun resolutely refused, he didn't want his younger brother to step into the circle of right and wrong in officialdom, and wanted him to live a relaxed life according to his own ideas innocently. Now it seems that his idea is completely wrong, there is no person who does not want to get ahead, and there is no profession that cannot get ahead, and the measure of a person's ability is often a simple position, followed by ability or skills, which is very common in some departments or units that do not have excessive technical content.

Peng Qun knew that his younger brother's work was difficult, the operation and advertising of the municipal TV station were under great pressure, and all departments and personnel had income-generating tasks. In the past, when he was a secretary in Deqing City, his younger brother's, including his younger brother's daughter-in-law's income-generating tasks, were all solved by him in Deqing, and after leaving, they relied on themselves, and the difficulties were certain. The younger brother-in-law is beautiful, and the younger brother is more quiet and shy, and the relationship between the family is very delicate. I once heard my sister say that they often quarrel, it seems that it is not just about money, maybe they still dislike their younger brother for not being capable, so Peng Qun is very worried about this younger brother.

The younger brother is actually a very young and sunny boy, and he didn't go well in the college exam, and he didn't even pass the exam for two years. The university you go to is also the kind of college that you can go to with money, and even if you enter the TV station to do journalism, you still have to be three points shorter than the graduates of the real universities. Peng Qun often told him to read more books, especially some idle books outside his major, which meant that he should not be impetuous, and have more time to accumulate and think, but it seemed that he did not listen, or did not listen carefully, but always talked about ideas and plans. Sometimes I really want to tell him that the vanity of today is not real, it is the castles piled up on the beach, which cannot withstand any wind and rain, and it is not easy to build these castles, but the destruction is a matter of moments, but it is difficult to say how to say it. After all, it's too cruel, after all, it hasn't happened yet, after all, he may not be able to believe what he said, but in such an impetuous era, there are too many uncertainties behind the flashy scenery, and it takes more than just one's own efforts and diligence to achieve.

Therefore, "the high place is not cold" is what Peng Qun wants to tell his younger brother, because the scenery in the high place will be followed by a long trough, and it will be more difficult competition and dumping, is he ready for these?

When I think of my younger brother, I naturally think of my wife and son, Huang Qing can make a big deal against such a small person as his younger brother, will he let go of his wife and son?

Thinking like this, Xiao Wang's phone call came over and told Peng Qun that the call before dinner last night was from Beijing, and the phone calls after that were both from Beijing and Qinghe, and there were many phone calls, which lasted until more than eleven o'clock, Xiao Wang asked him if he wanted to send him a list, Peng Qun decisively refused, as long as he knew the reason.

Hanging up Xiao Wang's phone, Peng Qun sent a text message to the fellow villagers in the Beijing Office, and also sent a text message to the comrades-in-arms of the Provincial Public Security Department, all of which were simple "How is it?" Three words, but the meaning is that everyone who sees it knows what they are asking. Of course, the fellow of the Beijing Office knew that Peng Qun wanted to inquire about inside information related to Hehai from Beijing, and his comrades-in-arms would also understand what he was asking? The fellow has received a lot of benefits from him, and he has also passed on a lot of news to him. Not to mention comrades-in-arms, the comradeship-in-arms that has been rolling together for several years is absolutely reliable.

Soon the message from Beijing arrived first, only a few short lines, but the content was glaring: "A political earthquake will soon break out in Hehai, involving the top level." It seems to confirm Huang Qing's gaffe after answering the phone last night, maybe the news he got is more accurate and more specific, so he has the decision to sacrifice his wings. Peng Qun fell into confusion again, but he didn't give him a chance to breathe, and the text message from his old comrade-in-arms also arrived: "The situation has gradually become clear, old comrade-in-arms, you are confused!! The big exclamation point sounded like a bomb in his head, and it seemed that the provincial public security department had made a breakthrough, just waiting for the net to be finally closed, and a text message soon received made him sit on pins and needles: "Your wife and son are now safe in the United States for the time being." "The number is not familiar, but the message is unmistakable, the wife and son are temporarily safe, but it does not mean that they will always be safe, maybe one day they will be unsafe, the key is to look at their own attitude.

Peng Qun did not slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly dialed his sister's phone, hearing his sister's calm voice on the phone, Peng Qun's heart suddenly fell to the ground, but he still asked uneasily: "Little sister, how are you doing, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's all good." Xiaomei was obviously very happy to receive her brother's call, "Big brother, how are you?" Two days ago, I called my sister-in-law and talked about you, and I was quite worried about your body. ”

"Brother is fine." Peng Qun's throat was a little dry, and suddenly a terrible thought came to his mind, "Your sister-in-law and the baby, you should contact each other more, and if there is anything, you all help more." ”

"Brother, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable? What the hell is going on? My sister's voice changed, trembling in a hurry, "Brother, don't scare me, brother." ”

"It's okay, brother, it's okay, just by the way, look at it scares you." Peng Qun's eyes were moist, as if he was complaining, and he seemed to be emphasizing, and he tried to say in a flat voice as if jokingly: "Big brother has taken care of you for so many years, why can't you take care of my baby, I'm not at home, you, who are sisters, shouldn't care more about Xiao Yong and Xiao Gang!" Don't worry, brother is fine! ”

Maybe it was Peng Qun's calmness, maybe it was the ease of the joke in his words, and his sister's heart was put down, but she still babbled a lot uneasily, nothing more than to make him pay more attention to his body, drink less, smoke less, and so on. If it were someone else, Peng Qun would have been impatient a long time ago, but only this sister, she said that Peng Qun was not annoyed, not only because of his sister's strong Hedong accent that made him feel cordial, but also because after his mother was gone, only she remembered to talk to him like this, just like her mother, even more annoying than her mother.

Peng Qun enjoyed this chatter very much, enjoyed the thick Hedong folk accent, and even enjoyed his sister's nervousness and worry. He knew that what his sister said was true, his wife and his sister were the same as sisters, and his wife's selfishness and withdrawn character seemed to disappear without a trace when he arrived at his sister, and they became good sisters who said nothing, not just that his sister took the baby more, better, but his sister's understanding. My sister seems to have a good relationship with everyone, which is very similar to her mother, no matter what she does, who she treats with all her heart, and treats it as her own business, and often does it first and then says, or just does it and doesn't say it. In addition to her mother, she has paid the most for this family, when Peng Qun left home to serve as a soldier, her sister was only sixteen years old, and she took on the responsibility of taking care of the whole family, sometimes doing more than her mother, and her little brother Peng Gang can almost be said to have grown up on her back. After entering the city, he became the pillar of the old Wang family, not only serving his in-laws, caring for his younger brothers and sisters, but also serving his husband like a big boy, and his whole body seemed to have endless energy, Peng Qun often envied the old Wang family to marry such a daughter-in-law, with all the industrious, kind, thrifty, gentle, and simple nature of traditional women, and more importantly, cheerful, never saw her unhappy. Peng Qun's marriage cracked, and there were people outside, she knew about it, and she had said him many times, although it didn't have much effect, but she always said it, but she never let her mother know. He is very grateful to his sister, it is she who connects with his wife, they have frequent contact, and a lot of news from the United States is also passed on to him by his sister, and he should be reassured that he should entrust his wife and son to his sister.

At that moment, after the terrible thoughts came up, they were entangled in my mind like a nightmare, and I couldn't get rid of them, that is, I broke off, I broke myself. Peng Qun was also surprised to have such an idea suddenly, but the accumulation of one thing after another seemed to make it clear to him that perhaps only this path was the wisest choice. He is the pride of the Peng family, the most enviable example of success of this family, he cannot accept the pity and worry of his family in prison, let alone let the credibility and image he has built up over the years collapse, which is difficult for him to accept no matter what. Now there are people who want him to die, so as to cover up something, and take some indiscriminate means for this, in fact, to shut him up, maybe only in this way can everyone be satisfied.

He doesn't have to worry too much about his wife and son's affairs, as long as it is safe, as long as there is no human interference, the money given to them in the past few years, completing his son's studies, and living a normal life is still no problem. Thinking about the future of his wife and son, and thinking about everything he had done for them, his apologetic heart calmed down a little.

With the thought of dying, Peng Qun felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, and now it seems that all he can do is give in and compromise. At this moment, Peng Qun felt like a prisoner on the battlefield, waiting for others at any time, deciding his fate. The impulsiveness of the former soldier made him feel unwilling, and he did not want to give in easily, he still had to struggle, even if he couldn't get anything, he had to try again at the end.

Peng Qun lit a cigarette, thought calmly, slowly picked up his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Huang Qing: "Is it a blessing or a curse for Saiong to release the horse?" The net is open, and the house is kind. ”

While waiting for a reply, Peng Qun was also preparing, he stood up and walked into the bedroom, took out a thick stack of papers from the small safe hidden between the walls, slowly took it back to the sofa, put it on the coffee table, and flipped through it. In fact, you don't have to deliberately look at the things written on the paper, you don't need to look at them to know what they are, and you never thought that the things that protect yourself will kill you and become a noose around your neck.

The information came quickly, and it was exactly what Peng Qun expected, and even the words and sentences were surprisingly consistent with what he imagined: "Nirvana is reborn, undoubtedly recreated, repentant, and the sky is high and the clouds are light." ”

Peng Qun sneered after reading it, and silently sent a message to Peng Gang: "Don't worry, it's okay." Then he slowly deleted Huang Qing and related information in the mobile phone one by one, took a long breath, as if he had made a final effort, picked up the things on the coffee table, and walked into the bathroom.

After all this was done, I went back to the office and sat down on the sofa, thinking about the scene I might face in the future, my heart twitched, but I felt extremely relaxed
