Video screens, black gauze, wreaths, portraits, and the Great Hall of the People with the atmosphere of sorrow and sorrow "The Central Committee, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the Central Military Commission held a memorial meeting for Tang Lao.

When Premier Hua announced the start of the memorial meeting, the crowd stood up and stood solemnly, and the military band composed of persuasive people played a tragic mourning music.

At this moment, in the No. 1 villa in Xishan, Chuncheng, Liaodong, Sister Lan and the staff of Building No. 1 also stood silently, seeing off this probably the most influential old man in the world with a pious heart.

With the change of camera angle, Tang Yi, who was standing in the front row with a solemn face, also appeared on the TV screen. Staring at Tang Yi intently, Sister Lan sighed softly, this omnipotent man still has something he can't do after all, and now he feels very uncomfortable, right?

When the general secretary remembered Donald's great achievements with tears in his eyes and expressed the thoughts and sorrows of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, Sister Lan also listened very attentively, she had never seen Donald himself, but deep in her heart, she had already regarded herself as a member of the Tang family, and she had a heartfelt admiration for this old man who only existed in imagination before.

When the memorial service was over, Sister Lan sat back on the sofa with slightly wooden steps, took out the phone from her bag and turned it on, and wanted to hang up the phone for Secretary Tang, but she didn't dare after all, after thinking about it, she began to dial the Bao'er number and pressed a few numbers on the net. The phone rang suddenly.

Looking at the number, Sister Lan frowned slightly, at this time, she really didn't want to contact those in her circle who only knew about flattery and gossip.

When I got on the phone, the microphone was full of sycophants, and the laughter gave me goosebumps. "Mr. Xia, what are you busy with?"

Sister Lan is too lazy to ramble with him, how can a person at his level know how to remember Donald? said lightly: "Didn't do anything, what?" Something? ”

Hearing Sister Lan's impatience, the male voice hurriedly put away his laughter and went straight to the point, "Mr. Xia, do you know?" Something happened to Sumy? This is absolutely true, it was revealed by her family, saying that it was the Commission for Discipline Inspection who went to the phone, and it was vague, only saying that they wanted to go to their home, but they had to keep it secret from the outside world. I see, Su Mei really can't get out this time! What do you see about the project? ”

Sister Lan knew that Su Mei was being segregated and examined by the Anti-Corruption Bureau. And the people below don't know much about the institutions in the province, usually the Anti-Corruption Bureau handles the case, they will also say how the Commission for Discipline Inspection is, Sister Lan and Su Mei have one or two cooperative projects in business, when Su Mei was reviewed, most of Su Mei's collaborators quickly broke off the relationship with her, only Sister Lan still does business, after all, there is a bit of friendship, not to mention that it is not cooperation to do illegal things, and anti-corruption cannot be reflected on her Sister Lan. Regarding Su Mei's movements, Sister Lan also asked people to inquire in many ways, but now, Sister Lan didn't want to hear this, so she vaguely agreed a few times and hung up the phone, and now she wants to call Bao'er quickly. Listen to Secretary Tang's story in Beijing.

A silver plane shuttles through the white clouds. According to Donald's last wishes, his ashes will be placed in the Nanzhou Martyrs Cemetery and returned to the comrades-in-arms who died during the Nanzhou Uprising.

The spacious plane was still filled with an atmosphere of grief, and from time to time someone let out a soft sob. Tang Xin, who sat in the back row, has always cried the saddest, she is emotional and not good at hiding her true emotions, the day her grandfather died. She used to cry and fainted.

Liu Xiaolou sat beside her and comforted her softly.

On the left side of the front aisle, Tang Wandong was whispering something to Bao Heng. On the right side of the passage, Tang Yi was silent, sitting next to Tang Yi was a slender man with a calm bearing, like all powerful figures, it was difficult to see his true age, and this man full of prestige was one of the most powerful people in the republic. Qi Mingpai, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo and Vice Premier of the State Council.

Tang Yi kept fiddling with the can in his hand, and finally, he seemed to come back to his senses, turned sideways, and silently handed over a cigarette.

After all, Premier Qi is one of the people Tang Yi wants to meet and communicate with the most, no matter how sad he is in his heart. You can't leave people out in the cold.

Premier Qi gently patted the back of Tang Yi's hand. took the cigarette, but put it aside, and said, "Smoke again when you get off the plane." ”

Tang Yi nodded and said apologetically: "Wait until you get to Nanzhou." Let's talk to you again

Premier Qi patted the back of Tang Yi's hand again, signaling that he understood.

Escorting grandpa's ashes to Nanzhou, Vice Chairman An seemed to be preparing to participate, but in the end, the accompanying central leaders became Director Bao Heng and Vice Premier Qi Ming, thinking that Vice Chairman An and Vice Premier Qi were not ready to share a room with the Tang family under such circumstances, and secondly, as the cadre Bao Heng, who was well known to Tang Lao as the head of the Central Committee, was obviously going to board the plane, and there was such a Politburo Standing Committee member as Tang Wandong among the relatives of the Tang family, and the accompanying senior leaders should obviously not be too much. After considering all aspects, I finally decided to include two candidates, although it seems simple, in fact, there are many mysteries. It is said that the ashes of his grandfather are in Nanzhou, and he said that it is his grandfather's last wish, but Tang Zhan also knows that it is the result of the efforts of some Jiangnan cadres, and the placement of his grandfather's ashes is also endowed with political significance, Tang Yi is a little helpless and a little bored, but he has to accept such a reality, this is the sadness of politicians, and grandpa did have to bury the ashes with his old comrades-in-arms before his death. Anyway, after all, this is also grandpa's last wish, and it is not against his old man's wishes.

Thinking about these things, Tang Yi leaned back on the seat a little tiredly, and slowly closed his eyes until the sound of gentle footsteps approached. Li Wang whispered something in his ear, and he opened his eyes.

In a large and comfortable room on the top floor of the Nanzhou Hotel, Tang Yi was listening to a report by Deng Kefan, director of the Liaodong Anti-Corruption Bureau, on the phone.

When he was on the plane, Li Wang contacted the cadres in Liaodong through the satellite phone on the plane, and unexpectedly heard the shocking news that Su Mei had committed suicide by swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills during the quarantine review. The news came from the hospital just now that Su Mei had died.

Li Wang immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and reported to Tang Yi, and when he came to Nanzhou, after a hurried conversation with local officials, Tang Yi had time to listen to a detailed report from the anti-corruption department.

Na Kefan called Tang Yi as soon as Su Mei was hospitalized, but he couldn't find Tang Yi, no matter what, Deng Kefan knew that he had fallen into passivity, Su Mei committed suicide in such a serious situation, Secretary Tang still got the news from a third party, in this regard, he is indeed responsible.

On the phone, Di Kefan repeatedly reviewed. He did not make any preference about the responsibility for Su Mei's death, saying, "It was completely my negligence and failure to explain the following things to be done." ”

In fact, Tang Yi also knew that various departments in Liaodong must also be holding various activities to mourn Tang Lao at the same time, in such a special period of time. Sumy's desire to commit suicide must have been a sign of neglect.

But the question is why did Sumy commit suicide? Is it really suicide?

When Tang Yi naturally came up with this, he was even more shocked after the thought, he naturally had an idea, what about others? What will others think? Originally, Zhang Zhen was actually a little unclear about this case. Now, I'm afraid that most people will look at him with suspicion, if there is a shady scene in this case, then Zhang Zhen will naturally become the biggest suspect behind the scenes.

didn't say much, Tang Yi just asked Deng Kefan to do a good job in the follow-up work, and while appeasing Su Mei's family, he should speed up the investigation of the Xinxiang project case, but he must find out the facts and not close the case hastily.

Putting down the phone, Tang Yi frowned slightly, and Di Kefan used "suicide" on the phone. Such words represent the anti-corruption bureau's statement on the death of Samui, but now after all, it is a dead person, and it has to undergo forensic examination and family questioning, and may even face pressure from the media. After all, this kind of death under the control of the judiciary is not an isolated case, and there is a general hostile attitude towards this phenomenon in society, and there is a reflexive disbelief in the term "suicide".

I sat on the couch and thought silently for a while. Tang Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt, and for now, let's take care of our own business first. And the visit to Vice Premier Qi Mingshan was the highlight of tonight.

Vice Premier Qi Mingsheng lives in the suite next door. The secretary opened the door and saw Tang Yi outside the door. Vice Premier Qi hurriedly stood up, personally came to the porch to greet him, and sighed: "You still have to pay attention to rest!" You also have to pay more attention to your body and don't get tired and sick yourself! ”

"It's okay". Tang Yi smiled.

The two of them sat down in the luxurious reception room, and the secretary quietly withdrew after making tea, and closed the door of the reception room casually. Tang Yi said pleasant greetings in his mouth, and his eyes were carefully looking at this academy banner and one of the most powerful figures in the republic. Vice President Qi's achievements in the Central Committee are obvious to all. In the competition with Vice Chairman He'an, Vice Premier Qi is actually the only disadvantage who is he. The kind of connections that have been run for several generations and the support of some veteran comrades who are quite weighty are something that Vice Premier Qi cannot win no matter how hard he tries.

As for Tang Yi's statement, although it was only two years, Tang Yi's influence at that time was not the same as now, and Tang Yi's statement at that time did not have a decisive impact on the overall situation.

And when the two were talking and laughing, they obviously didn't mind much about the past two years ago.

Tang Yi knew that after failing to compete for the position of successor, Vice Premier Qi's choice was naturally to become the helmsman of the State Council, and he also began to move towards this goal, but now his grandfather died suddenly. However, it has given Vice Premier Qi an excellent opportunity, Vice Chairman Zhuo Jingan has not yet entered the Central Military Commission to become the core of the next leadership group of ironclad, and the political arena is the most unpredictable. ）
