"It's fine." He Zitian didn't object, the main thing was that he felt that if he continued to talk about it, I was afraid that everyone wouldn't be able to digest it for a while, anyway, the purpose of sitting together drinking tea and discussing the Tao to enhance communication was also achieved, so he stood up, "Ask Tian, what is the next step, let's meet again to discuss it later." ”

"Okay." Bi Wentian didn't say anything more, got up and left, "There is a chance for Shi De and Xia Hua to communicate and cooperate more with Yuan Yuan, Ji Du, Jin Nian, and Liu Nian, after all, they will be a family in the future, hehe." ”

Shi De and He Zitian sent Bi Wentian and others downstairs. Downstairs, in addition to the two more cars of Hua Liunian and Mu Jinnian, there is also an Audi with a municipal party committee license, and Shi De also knows the license plate, which is Yue Guoliang's special car.

Wu Bodong stood next to the car, saw Shi De coming down, and was about to say hello to Shi De, but when he saw that there were many people, he withdrew his words and just nodded at Shi De.

Sending Bi Wentian and his entourage away, Shi De ignored Yuan Yuan's intentional overtures and hints that Hua Liunian wanted to say something to him, he directly asked Biyou to entertain He Ye and Xia Hua, and he came to the car with Yue Qingying.

Wu Bodong didn't speak, opened the car door silently, and asked Shi to get in the car. Shi De saw the inside of the car and realized that it was not only Wu Bodong who came, but Yue Guoliang also came.

What's wrong? actually alarmed Yue Guoliang to come to him in person? After Shi De got into the car, he sat in the middle, leaving the left spot for Yue Qingying.

"Drive." After everyone got into the car, Yue Guoliang issued a low command, "Go to the second ring." ”

Seeing that Yue Guoliang's expression was a little gloomy, Shi De didn't ask anything about it, in fact, he didn't need to ask, he could guess it, it was definitely not a good thing. He knew Yue Guoliang too well, and Yue Guoliang's expression already said it all.

Yue Qingying couldn't calm down and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

"Alas......" Yue Guoliang let out a long sigh and leaned heavily behind him, "Let me be quiet for a while, and wait until I get to the second ring." ”

The car drove all the way, speeding to the south, the main urban area of the single city is not large, and it was not long before it drove onto the second ring road.

Along the South Second Ring Road all the way to the west, the terrain gradually decreases. After passing through a low-lying road, the terrain gradually rises again to an open field. As far as the eye can see, there are thousands of acres of land connected together, located at the foot of the West Mountain, like a deserted ruin, crazy weeds and a dozen towering trees growing at any time, as well as a few bare lonely graves, all of which set off the desolate and decaying scenery.

The wasteland is located at the intersection of the South 2nd Ring Road and the West 2nd Ring Road.

Shan Cheng is an ancient city, but also a small city, in recent years, the trend of urban expansion is not fast, after the second ring road is built, between the second ring road and the main urban area, there are still large tracts of idle land, because of the lack of people, it is particularly dilapidated. During Huang Zixuan's tenure, he once put forward the idea of building a large single city, but the idea was conceived, and few developers responded in the end, and it was finally lost.

The main reason is that there are few people in the single city, and the people in the single city are conservative and stable, and the enterprising spirit is insufficient, resulting in a large number of idle land between the second ring road and the main urban area that no one cares about. Over time, it became a paradise for rats, hares, weasels, and weeds, and some people even saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and buried their dead ancestors here as a cemetery.

If it continues to be abandoned, it is unknown when it will become a mass grave.

The development of Shancheng has been inclined to the east and north, and the queen mother is lagging behind the queen mother to the west and south, so it is reasonable that there is such a large wasteland at the intersection of the South Second Ring Road and the West Second Ring Road. Shi De didn't know why Yue Guoliang wanted to take him to visit the wasteland, after the car stopped, Yue Guoliang didn't wait for Wu Bodong to open the door, he got out of the car himself, and walked towards the wasteland with his hands behind his back.

Shi De followed closely behind Yue Guoliang, stepping on the weeds that had decayed in late autumn, and at noon on an autumn day full of autumn insects, he was in a large area of desolate ruins, quite a kind of relict and independent freedom.

Of course, it is only the mood and yearning that are free and easy, not the reality.

Yue Qingying and Wu Bodong followed behind Shi De, a group of four, walking towards the depths of the ruins.

"This land was originally the farmland of the third surname village...... After walking for ten minutes, almost a few hundred meters deep into the ruins, Yue Guoliang stopped his footsteps and spoke, "When I was the deputy mayor, I was just in time to build the second ring road, and I was directly responsible for the land acquisition work of the third surname village. ”

Shi De stood behind Yue Guoliang, without saying a word, feeling the silence between heaven and earth, in the empty wilderness, as if everything was gone, only the whirring wind and boundless tranquility between heaven and earth accompanied by the left and right, between his breath and breath, heaven and earth also moved with the stars.

Indeed, as He Ye and Bi Ye said, letting go of the worries in his heart and letting his mood fly freely between heaven and earth is the most free state. Only by feeling the beauty of life in the most relaxed state can we deeply realize that no matter how great and noble the cause is, no matter how brilliant the success and how tragic the failure, grasping the present moment is the ultimate meaning of life.

No matter how beautiful the future is, what's the use of not being happy now? Because man always lives in the present, in the moment.

Of course, Yue Guoliang didn't know that he was full of sorrow and suffering at this time, but Shi De entered a relaxed and comfortable state, and his understanding of the laws of life deepened. However, even if he knew the Tao and Shi De's current state of mind, he could only smile helplessly, and the things in the world have always been their own joys and sorrows.

"At that time, the tone of the city's land acquisition work was to complete the land acquisition work on time at all costs, and under the guiding ideology of the municipal party committee and municipal government, I devoted myself to the land acquisition work day and night, and even had the experience of negotiating with the villagers for three days and three nights. At the end, the villagers who are both soft and hard, and who are easy to talk, know the reason. The nail household, moving with force, finally completed the task before the deadline. ”

In front of Shi De and others, Yue Guoliang no longer had any scruples and told the truth. Shi De can also understand that sometimes to do a thing, it is indeed necessary to sacrifice the interests of a small number of people to achieve the interests of the majority of people, and it is impossible to delay the entire construction period because of one or two nail households, the cost is too high, and no one can afford the consequences. This is true in politics, and the same is true in business, how many wealthy businessmen can stand up to scrutiny? In the early days of capital, there was a bloody original sin.

"Originally, the land acquisition work was a victory in my political career, and the municipal party committee and municipal government also remembered my great merit because of it......" Yue Guoliang fell into the memories of the past, and his eyes showed a little sadness, "It was originally a glorious stroke in the resume, but who would have thought that today, it was turned out of the old accounts, saying that violent measures were used during the land acquisition that year, not only injured several villagers, but also killed an old man named Dai Jianqiang......"

Yue Guoliang pointed to the front, there is a lonely grave not far ahead, the lonely grave is obviously a long time, the grave is very small, there are piles of weeds, there is a tombstone broken in two in front of the grave, and it can be vaguely seen that there is a line of words on it - Dai Jianqiang's tomb.

"A glorious stroke has become a stain, and the merits and demerits can really be commented on by future generations." Yue Guoliang smiled, with a smile full of vicissitudes and emotion, "That's not all, some people say that in the process of land acquisition, I used my power for personal gain, filled my pockets, and embezzled at least 10 million." 10 million ...... Ha Luha, 10 million ten years ago was a huge amount of money, and some people are really just brains to spread rumors. Moreover, at that time, the city's land acquisition cost was only a compensation budget of 10 million yuan, doesn't it mean that after the city's land acquisition, the villagers did not get a penny of compensation, and the money went into my personal pocket? ”

Shi De heard the taste, it turned out that Yue Guoliang was turned over old accounts, and on the issue of land acquisition related to the village of the third surname, he was used as evidence to attack him. No matter who the other party is, the strength is really not small, and he directly deducted a big hat that embezzled 10 million, if he really sits down, Yue Guoliang can still sit in the position of executive deputy mayor, and it would be good not to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Could it be that Fu Rui is making waves again? Seeing that he is about to lose power, Fu Rui still has the heart to frame others? Shi De couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and listened to Yue Guoliang continue.

"The other party deducted a big hat of 10 million, and it was not without a target, but a big hole carefully laid out, not only wanting me to fall in, but also wanting Qingying and you to fall into it, Shi De, this time the other party is not a false shot, but really wants to kill us." Yue Guoliang crossed his hands on his hips, standing among the weeds, no longer the previous indomitable momentum, but more lonely, "The other party carefully calculated an account for me, and made reasonable arrangements for the whereabouts of my embezzlement of 10 million one by one, of which 2 million was used to invest in the world, 2 million invested in Shede antique shop, and 6 million invested in Binsheng real estate, Shide, in addition to in the world, Shede and Binsheng, you have shares, if I fall because of the unwarranted corruption of 10 million, You and Qing Ying will also be implicated......"

It is indeed a very vicious and scheming hand, which can trigger a series of chain reactions, it is indeed clever, Shi De suddenly remembered He Ye and Bi Ye's calculation that he would have another catastrophe in Shancheng, could it be said that the catastrophe should be in this matter? He pondered for a moment, and suddenly had the courage to ask Yue Guoliang: "Uncle Yue, there are no outsiders now, I want to ask you the truth...... Where did Qingying's money come from? ”

As soon as Wu Bodong heard this, he turned around and left without saying a word, until he walked more than ten meters away, and only after being sure that he couldn't hear the conversation between Shi De and a few people, did he stand still.

Yue Guoliang glanced meaningfully at Wu Bodong's back before he said: "Shi De, in fact, what you want to ask is, has Uncle Yue embezzled public funds over the years of being an official?" Or rather, how much money was embezzled in total, right? ”
