"Deputy Secretary Liu ......" At this time, Qiao Shan's shout came from the bedroom.

Liu Mao immediately left his wife and strode into the bedroom.

Qiao Shan handed the mobile phone to Liu Mao: "Deputy County Magistrate Li is waiting for you...... Do you have anything to say to him......"

Liu Mao took the phone and put it to his ear: "Hey...... Yes...... Deputy County Magistrate Li, hello, hello...... Yes, yes, that's it...... I...... Okay, well, I am relieved to have Deputy County Magistrate Li's words, yes, yes, I will do my best to help Deputy Secretary Qiao...... Okay, you're busy. After the call ended, Liu Mao suddenly showed a smile on his face, just now Li Ming personally promised on the phone that he would help Liu Mao become the party secretary, provided that Liu Mao wanted to help Qiao Shan get rid of the horse.

With Li Ming's personal promise, Liu Mao completely let go of his heart.

"How? Now you are relieved, right? Qiao Shan smiled.

Liu Mao returned the phone to Qiao Shan: "Say, how do you want me to help you deal with Ma Xiaoyao?" ”

Qiao Shan took a step forward, poked his head over, and whispered a few words in Liu Mao's ear.

Liu Mao's face changed greatly: "What...... You...... You want me to go...... Framing Ma Xiaoyao...... This...... I...... I can't do ......."

"Deputy Secretary Liu, you personally promised Deputy County Magistrate Li just now, why do you regret it now? Don't you want to be the party secretary of Gaohe Township? Qiao San smiled.

"It's not...... I ......" Liu Mao exhaled: "Deputy Secretary Qiao, I'...... I...... Although I am not a decent gentleman, I am definitely not a despicable villain, you asked me to frame Ma Xiaoyao, I really can't do this......"

Qiao Shan frowned: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, Deputy Secretary Liu, if you want to be the party secretary of Gaohe Township, you must pay something!" ”

Liu Mao's cheeks twitched a few times: "Can't you change the way......"

"No, I can only do what I say for now!" Qiao Shan said in a resolute tone.

Liu Mao pondered for a moment: "Give me a few days, let me think about it, okay?" ”

"One day, I'll only give you one day." Qiao Shan said in a deep voice.

"One day?" Liu Mao frowned: "Time is a little short...... Can you ......?"

"I can only give you one day, Deputy Secretary Liu, I hope you can think about it, sometimes, conscience is really not so important, people live this life, they always have to do something against their conscience, I still say that those who become big things are not informal." After saying that, Qiao Shan left Liu Mao's house.

After sending Qiao Shan away, Liu Mao sat alone on the chair, secretly in a daze.

"Lao Liu, I've already laid out the meal, you can go out to eat quickly." Liu Mao's wife walked into the bedroom.

Liu Mao shook his head: "I'm not in the mood to eat now...... Eat it yourself. As he spoke, Liu Mao took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, lit it and took a puff.

"Lao Liu, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Mao's wife asked with concern.

"Don't ask, let me be alone for a while." Liu Mao leaned back in his chair and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

Liu Mao's wife frowned: "Old Liu...... Even if you're in a bad mood, you can't skip eating...... As the saying goes: people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic......"

"Are you bothered? I want to be alone right now, don't you hear? Liu Mao said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out, don't get angry...... I'll give you the rice to heat in the pot......" Liu Mao's wife turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

"Alas......" Liu Mao let out a long sigh: "What should I do...... On the one hand, there is right, on the other hand, conscience, should I choose right, or should I choose conscience? "Liu Mao is really embarrassed at the moment, I really don't know how to choose.

This night, Liu Mao had insomnia.

……

A day later.

Liu Mao took the initiative to find Qiao Shan, Liu Mao looked a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knew that he had not rested well at a glance.

The place where Liu Mao and Qiao Shan met was in a small forest, the location of the grove was very remote, and usually, no one would come here at all, so it was safe for Liu Mao and Qiao Shan to talk about things here, and basically no one would find out.

"Deputy Secretary Liu, how are you thinking about it?" Qiao Shan asked straight to the point.

Liu Mao took a deep breath: "I promised you." ”

"Huh...... I knew that Deputy Secretary Liu would agree. Qiao Shan's eyes smiled into a slit: "Deputy Secretary Liu, we will be a comrade in the trench in the future, work hard, Deputy County Magistrate Li will definitely not treat you badly." ”

Liu Mao nodded: "When are you going to do it......?"

"The sooner the better, of course." Qiao Shan said.

"Tomorrow, then." Liu Mao thought for a while and said.

"No problem! I'll cooperate with you tomorrow! Qiao Shan smiled.

Between rights and conscience, Liu Mao finally chose rights, as Qiao Shan said, those who achieve great things are not informal, and if you want to become the party secretary of Gaohe Township, you must find a way to overthrow the horse.

……

The weather has been very unusual lately, one moment the sky is clear, the next moment it is cloudy, then it is a downpour, each time it rains for a short time, only about half an hour, the rain stops, then the clouds disperse and the sun reappears in the sky.

Ma Xiaoyao put down a copy of the text, stretched out his arms, and stretched his waist: "Alas...... It's so tiring......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a slight knock at the door.

"Please come in." Ma Yao shouted at the door.

The door was pushed open, and Liu Mao strode in: "Secretary Ma, are you free at night?" ”

"What's wrong?" Ma Yao asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I want to invite you to my house for dinner in the evening, and discuss something with you by the way." Liu Mao said with a smile.

"What are you discussing?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"Uh...... It's a hard thing to talk about...... Secretary Ma, if you have time in the evening, go to my house, and when the time comes, I will tell you in detail. Liu Mao showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"It's kind of mysterious...... Okay, I'll go to your house in the evening. Ma smiled freely.

Hearing that Ma Xiaoyao agreed to the invitation, Liu Mao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Secretary Ma, then we can decide, we must go to my house at night." ”

"Don't worry, since I promised, I will definitely go." Ma Xiaoyao picked up the cigarette case, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Liu Mao, and put one in his mouth.

Liu Mao hurriedly stepped forward, took out a lighter, and helped Ma Xiaoyao light the cigarette, and then lit his own cigarette.

"Deputy Secretary Liu, how are the assigned college students doing? Will they be able to adapt to the working environment here? Ma Yao took a puff of his cigarette.

"It's good, the assigned college students are very obedient, they are all quite able to endure hardships, and their abilities are also good." Liu Mao gave a high evaluation.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "As long as you can adapt to work." ”

After chatting a few words, Liu Mao left the office.

After sending Liu Mao away, Ma Xiaoyao continued to approve Wen Jiàn, Gaohe Township now has more enterprises, and the economic situation has been greatly improved, and similarly, Ma Xiaoyao's workload has also increased, and he is so busy that he only has time to sleep and eat every day.

Although he is very tired, Ma Xiaoyao does not have any complaints, but is still very satisfied with his current living state, busy with work, which shows that Gaohe Township has developed well, as long as Gaohe Township can be truly rich, tiredness and hardship are nothing.

……

Six o'clock in the evening.

Ma Xiaoyao came to Liu Mao's house as promised.

Liu Mao had already made a table of wine and food, and waited for Ma Xiaoyao to come to the door.

"Huh? Are you alone at home? Ma Yao glanced around the room.

"My wife has returned to her parents' house, come, Secretary Ma, please take a seat." Liu Mao beckoned Ma Xiaoyao to sit at the dining table, then picked up the wine bottle and poured it into the two wine glasses on the table, Liu Mao put down the wine bottle, and then picked up the wine glass: "Secretary Ma, I toast you!" ”

Ma Xiaoyao picked up the wine glass, touched Liu Mao gently, and poured the wine into his mouth with his neck tilted.

Watching Ma Xiaoyao drink the whole glass of wine into his stomach, Liu Mao couldn't help but show a complicated look in his eyes.

"Huh? Deputy Secretary Liu, why don't you drink? Ma Xiaoyao looked at Liu Mao who was in a daze suspiciously.

"Ah...... Drink...... I drink ...... Drink it immediately......" Liu Mao came back to his senses and hurriedly poured the wine into his mouth, and a spicy feeling suddenly spread from his throat.

Next, Liu Mao toasted Ma Xiaoyao several glasses of wine in a row, each time it was dry, and after a while, the two drank half a bottle of liquor.

"No more...... Can't drink anymore...... My head is so dizzy now......" Ma Xiaoyao put down his wine glass and kept shaking his head: "Deputy Secretary Liu...... Where did you buy this wine, it's strong enough...... Uh......" Halfway through speaking, the horse shook his body and lay on the dinner table.

"Ma Ji...... Get up and drink again......" Liu Mao stretched out his hand and gently pushed the horse Xiaoyao.

Ma Yao lay motionless on the dining table, looking drunk.

"......Huh" Liu Mao exhaled lightly, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a string of numbers: "Come here, the person has fallen." After speaking, Liu Mao hung up the phone and looked down at Ma Xiaoyao, who was lying unconscious on the table, Liu Mao's face showed a trace of guilt: "Secretary Ma...... I'm sorry...... I don't want to do this to you...... But I also want to progress, I also want to be promoted, and I also want to be the party committee secretary of Gaohe Township, I'm really sorry......"

A few minutes later, Qiao Shan came to Liu Mao's house, and saw Ma Xiaoyao lying motionless on the dinner table, Qiao Shan's eyes suddenly showed a hint of joy: "Deputy Secretary Liu, you really didn't disappoint me......

"People have been fascinated by me, and the rest will be left to you." Liu Mao said expressionlessly, today Liu Mao invited Ma Xiaoyao to come to the house as a guest, the purpose is to calculate Ma Xiaoyao, Ma Xiaoyao has just used the wine glass has been smeared with 'ecstasy' medicine, the medicine is very large, Ma Xiaoyao just drank a few glasses of wine, and he was already unconscious.
