In a Japanese-style box at the Japanese restaurant of the Wuzhou Hotel, Lu Zheng was picking up the wind for the two brothers Du Kecheng and Du Keyong, who had just returned from the United States.

Du Xiaodong's mother stayed in the United States to take care of Du Xiaodong, and at Forston Hospital in New York, Du Xiaodong received deep brain stimulation therapy, although Du Kecheng had not yet been awakened when he left the United States, but the doctor said that there was great hope, and generally speaking, the doctor could say that, it was quite confident.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Kecheng got off the plane and returned home, he received a long-distance call from his lover, saying that Xiaodong had opened his eyes, but there were still some problems with his language expression.

And the most gratifying thing is that after consultation with neurologists from Fouston Hospital, it is believed that Du Xiaodong is optimistic about the treatment of spinal nerve compression, and the nerve damage is not serious, and it can be completely restored to the level of normal mobility through surgery and rehabilitation, at least, without having to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Therefore, the haze that Du Kecheng had been pressing on his heart for many days finally dissipated, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude from the time he saw Lu Zheng.

At this time, the three of them sat cross-legged on the soft couch, Du Kecheng raised his glass again, and said, "Brother Lu, thanks to your help this time, I am not grateful for my great kindness, and I am respectful first." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass

Lu Zheng hurriedly accompanied him for a cup and said, "Anyway, I was in the car that caused the accident, and I was also partly responsible." ”

Du Kecheng waved his hand and said with emotion: "Zhengzi, I call you Zhengzi, right?" Seeing Lu Zheng's head, he continued: "This is now what I say from my heart, this matter, from beginning to end, it was Xiaodong who suffered by himself, I think he will not be racing in the future, but I am a bit hypocritical to say this now, if he really has three long and two short, I will definitely resent you, so, for you, I am really guilty."

Lu Zheng smiled: "Isn't this not going in the worst direction?" Let's go over the past, Xiaodong is fine. ”

Du Keyong changed the bowl, poured a full cup, and said, "Zhengzi, don't say anything, your business will be my business in the future." I'll make amends for you with this bowl of wine," he said, raising the bowl and going down with a bang.

Lu Zheng smiled: "I'll accompany Brother Keyong for a drink." He picked up the sake and wanted to pour it into the bowl, but Du Keyong pressed it on the bowl and said, "This is not good, Zhengzi, this cup is my atonement, you can't drink it." ”

Du Kecheng frowned helplessly and said: "Old Five, have you washed your hands, you are like this, how can you eat for Zhengzi?" He turned his head to Lu Zheng and said, "The fifth man has this temper, you don't care about him." ”

Du Keyong laughed wryly.

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Brother Keyong's temper is the same as mine in the army, soldiers, they are all brittle, there are not so many curves, this is called love and hate." ”

Du Keyong came to his senses when he heard this, and said, "Second brother, did you hear what Zhengzi said?" You don't understand our affairs, but Zhengzi, don't call me Brother Keyong, I'm seven or eight years older than you, and we're also a generation, if you don't dislike it in the future, call me the fifth brother, if you have to call me Brother Keyong, that's okay, it means that you haven't treated me as your own. ”

Lu Zheng said: "I'll call you Fifth Brother." ”

Du Keyong shook his head and sighed: "Look, Zhengzi, you are good at everything, even when you go to the place, you are like my second brother, twisting and pinching, full of bureaucracy, and ah, there are many bends and curves." ”

Du Kecheng glared at him frequently, but he just couldn't see it, and said: "But, apart from this, what you really didn't say, it's still that sentence, in the future, your Zhengzi's business will be my fifth child's business, it's you, the Tao is very deep, try not to take my fifth child into the ditch." ”

Lu Zheng laughed, Du Kecheng couldn't help but hold a little brother, so he could only frown and said: "Secretary Lu, this is called self-cultivation, and I don't want to think about what identity people have, can they be the same as you?" ”

"Second brother, what you said is not right, you have a class concept." Duke retorted with a hippie smile.

Du Kecheng was so tempered by him that he could only turn around and say to Lu Zheng: "Let's drink and ignore him." ”

Du Keyong interjected: "I heard, something happened to you in Wushan?" As soon as we got home, the female director of the Supervision Bureau, surnamed Jiang, went home to find my second brother. He really regarded Lu Zheng as his own person, and he didn't shy away from anything.

Du Kecheng frowned slightly, and raised his wine glass to drink.

Lu Zheng glanced at Du Kecheng's expression, and said to Du Keyong: "Fifth brother, the discipline inspection work must be kept secret, let's not talk about this." ”

Du Kecheng smiled and said, "Zhengzi, Jiang Haiyan is looking for me, don't you have a bottom in your heart?" ”

Although Du Kecheng went to the United States for a few days, he knew very well what had happened in Wushan, and the investigation team of the provincial party committee had been in Wushan for more than a month, and it was rumored that they had received a lot of complaints reflecting Zhou Tao's problem, but when the investigation team talked to Wushan Yubu, many of them had great opinions about Feng Guiping, and some people even said that Feng Guiping was a cool official who was fake and honest, and that he was a Cultural Revolution-style Yubu.

This information circulates on a small scale, but it is not very different from the facts.

In the HLC fraud case, Zhou Tao put all the responsibility on Sun Zhengguo, thinking that he had discovered the problem a long time ago, but did not remind him in time, but took advantage of the comrades' omissions to engage in political struggle, causing huge losses to the country, and should be investigated for criminal responsibility.

When Du Kecheng came back today, Jiang Haiyan came to his house and reported to him that the Supervision Bureau had received a real-name report letter from Yao Erzhu, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The whistleblower was a lawyer from a law firm in Wushan, and he provided a large amount of detailed materials to prove that Yao Erzhu's cousin, Yao Qili, acted as an intermediary to help Yao Erzhu collect money, and that Yao Erzhu's wife, Chen Guixiang, owned shares in a trading company and two entertainment companies under a pseudonym, which was an illegal transfer of benefits, and these three companies were nothing more than in exchange for Yao Erzhu's special care.

These materials are extremely detailed, Du Kecheng doesn't think that a small lawyer can get such conclusive evidence, and it is Zhou Tao and Lu Zheng who want to stand behind it.

I thought that Zhou Tao and Lu Zheng aimed their firepower at Sun Zhengguo and wanted to defeat Sun Zhengguo, but they didn't want to, so they secretly Chen Cang.

That's why Du Kecheng asked Lu Zheng pointedly, Jiang Haiyan weishenme looking for me, don't you have a bottom in your heart?

Du Kecheng didn't want to go back to Wushan during this time, Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao fell into a white-hot struggle, thinking about it, there was an invisible hand supporting it, and it was not a good thing to be caught in this struggle.

But I can't stay in the United States for too long, but I don't want to, just after I came back, I received such a report

I am grateful to Lu Zheng, but in political life, I can't always repay the favor, and I support Lu Zheng and then Zhou Tao without principle, not to mention that Du Kecheng has a lot of complaints about Zhou Tao.

If this material was deliberately arranged by Lu Zheng, then is this forcing himself to stand in line?

Thinking of this, Du Kecheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, picked up his wine glass, and was silent.

Seeing that his topic made the atmosphere suddenly solemn, Du Keyong smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about private matters today, talk about friendship, and let politics go to hell, okay?" ”

Du Kecheng raised his head and asked Lu Zheng: "Zhengzi, what do you think about Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "The advantages and disadvantages of Secretary Feng and Mayor Zhou are obvious, let's talk about Mayor Zhou first, pioneering and enterprising, generous, and real, but too much pursuit of sensational effects, the pursuit of political achievements, some things are not considered comprehensively when making decisions; Secretary Feng is an old-fashioned and steady person, with high requirements for public servants, especially hates corruption, and requires his subordinates to be honest and honest, but sometimes he is too conservative, and he is not at ease with our special economic zone. ”

Du Kecheng was stunned, and he casually asked if he wanted to explore Lu Zheng's tone, but he didn't want Lu Zheng to say such a thing, and he did not shy away from directly commenting on the No. 1 Municipal Party Committee and No. 1 Municipal Government.

Du Keyong was on the side and gave Lu Zheng a thumbs up, "Okay, Zhengzi, you are clearly who is giving up on me."

Lu Zheng said with a smile: "Fifth brother, you are wrong, anyone can point fingers on the side, but it doesn't mean that the person who points fingers has any ability, and besides, this is all my superficial idea, drink some wine today, and say it if you want to." ”

Du Kecheng nodded and asked: "Okay, Zhengzi, you have a heart-to-heart with me, and I won't hide it from you, you should know that I received a report letter involving Yao Erzhu as soon as I came back, but with my understanding of Yao Erzhu, he is not such a person, is there something wrong?" ”

Lu Zheng said: "If you make a mistake, you will know if you check it, I know that Brother Kecheng, your concerns are nothing more than Feng Guiping, you don't think it's easy to explain, but if Yao Erzhu is okay, isn't it better to check it?" Secretary Feng will definitely agree with you to check it out. ”

Du Kecheng smiled and said, "Lao Feng, this person, if you agree, you will definitely agree, but you will feel uncomfortable in your heart. ”

Lu Zheng had nothing to talk about with him, and he was a little less cover-up.

Lu Zheng said: "So, there is a problem with our discipline inspection system, and now our Yu Ministry, as long as it is said that it is investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it is a great event, it seems to be the end of Shijie, it seems to mean that the organization has thought that you are not good, this is because of the lack of supervision of our Commission for Discipline Inspection, and when we go to investigate a certain Yu Ministry, it is often that this Yu Ministry has reached a very dangerous edge, so who is investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, even if this person is proven to be fine, but it has a great impact on word of mouth and official reputation." ”

Lu Zheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Let's just talk about Secretary Feng, yes, he lives a simple life, and he can be described as strict with the Yu Department below, but what, if we say that without his consent, our discipline inspection department will check his cronies, and he will definitely be like thunder, so a leader who is as clean as water does not mean that he does not have privileged thoughts, and besides, people who came over in the old era have more serious privileged thoughts." ”

"Therefore, we still have to rely on the system to fight corruption, this truth is actually understood by us, and the central leadership also understands, but it is difficult to do, and I really don't want this slogan to continue to be shouted so empty."

As he spoke, Lu Zheng sighed.

Du Kecheng smiled, "Zhengzi, I talked to you deeply today, and I realized that you have a lot of ideas, but there are many things, you can't be in a hurry, take your time." ”

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, removed the teaglass, poured himself a glass of wine again, and said, "Say something happy, we can't reach the realm of worries and worries in the world first." ”

Du Kecheng and Du Keyong both laughed and clinked glasses with Lu Zheng.

"Pop" Yao Erzhu, whose face was pale, almost smashed the coffee table, startling Yao Qili, who had just been called by him.

"What the hell is going on?" Yao Erzhu's face was gloomy and terrifying.

"What's going on?" Yao Qili's face was confused, he had just come back from Japan, and he was called by his cousin, and he thought that his cousin had found out his conscience and wanted to get together with him.

"You don't know?" Yao Erzhu slowly stood up.

Looking at Yao Erzhu, whose face was gloomy like an angry lion, Yao Qili was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back and said, "Third child, if you have something to say, what do you want?" I really don't know what you're talking about?

"What do I think about? I want to kill you" Yao Erzhu turned around and entered the study, and when he came out, he was holding a 54-style pistol in his hand.

Yao Qili was so frightened that his legs and stomach turned tendons, he sat down on the ground and screamed: "Second brother, you, are you crazy?" You're crazy, you're really crazy? ”

The police officer next to him hurriedly hugged Yao Erzhu and said in a loud voice: "Yao Bureau, Yao Bureau, you calm down." Reaching out, he snatched the pistol from Yao Erzhu's hand.

Yao Erzhu pointed at Yao Qili with his hand, "You are really a scourge, a thousand years old, how can I Yao Erzhu have such a relative as you?" ”

In the study, the phone rang suddenly, Yao Erzhu glared at Yao Qili fiercely, entered the study to answer the phone, bang, and closed the door hard.

Yao Qili was frightened, and slowly stood up against the wall, his legs were cold, and he didn't know if he was so frightened that he lost his intent.

"Old Zhao......, Zhao, what's going on?" Yao Qili asked cautiously.

Director Zhao sighed and said, "My sister-in-law has just been taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it seems that there are several companies where my sister-in-law has Yu shares in it, Qili, and Yao Ju said that it must have something to do with you, right?" ”

Yao Qili was stunned and said, "I, I don't know." As he spoke, he leaned against the wall and slowly moved towards the door.

Seeing this, Director Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Qili, if it has something to do with you, the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection will definitely look for you immediately, where can you go?" Let's listen to what Yao Ju has to say. ”

Yao Qili's face turned pale and said, "Commission for Discipline Inspection, Commission for Discipline Inspection is also looking for me?" ”

Director Zhao said: "If it has anything to do with you, I will definitely ask you for questioning." ”

Yao Qili's face was even paler, and he immediately caught a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "Won't it?" The second child is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and he came with Secretary Feng, who dares to touch him? ”

These words happened to be heard by Yao Erzhu, who came out of the door, and Yao Erzhu said coldly: "Do you think Zhou Tao is a vegetarian? Lu Zheng is a vegetarian? ”

Yao Qili said with a bitter face: "Didn't you say that Zhou Tao is decided?" ”

Yao Erzhu snorted and said, "What do you know? After pacing two steps, he said: "Zhou Tao is determined this time, but it is indispensable to pull people on his back, besides, you are about this, nine times out of ten it was made up by Lu Zheng, some people say that in Wushan, there is nothing that Lu Zheng can't find, hum, it's not okay if you don't accept it."

Immediately, his face turned grim, and he glared: "You now, go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately and turn yourself in, what the hell is going on, 1510 explain clearly, Guixiang doesn't understand anything, your own mess, don't hurt her"

Yao Qili had a bitter face, like a deflated ball, he could only nod his head, and muttered in a low voice, "Who said this?" Those few companies don't have this dog, is it Yang Zhaohui? Or Liu Shoucheng? ”

Yao Erzhu reprimanded: "What are you muttering? Without an impermeable wall, you should have gone in and taught a lesson."

Yes? Yao Qili was taken aback, looked up and said: "Second brother, we didn't really give them any benefits, at most how much blood did they make, and I made up for it here, it is also a civil dispute, I praised Haikou and said that it was just misunderstood by them to open up your heaven and earth, so you won't go to jail, right?" ”

Yao Erzhu snorted and said, "You study law, you know better than me, right." Too lazy to listen to him, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Yao Qili's face was cloudy, and he slowly opened the door and walked out.

Yao Erzhu glanced at Director Zhao and said, "Keep an eye on him, send him to turn himself in, don't let him run away." He knew that his cousin was really unreliable, and he could really find out anything, and if he didn't ask someone to send him there, he would buy a plane ticket and go abroad.

The office of Feng Guiping, secretary of the municipal party committee.

Lu Zheng is reporting to Feng Guiping on the progress of Zhenhua Electronic Equipment Factory's preparations for the Bo Gong Court with HLC.

Now Zhenhua Electronics has hired a well-known law firm in New York to represent the lawsuit, and a large legal team formed in China has also set off for the United States.

Feng Guiping nodded again and again after listening to Lu Zheng's introduction, and said: "The provincial leaders attach great importance to this lawsuit, this is the first time that our state-owned enterprises have taken up legal weapons to fight a lawsuit with a foreign company. ”

Feng Gui's face was a little haggard, and it seemed that he was not having a good time these days.

No matter where it is, if the contradiction between the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor intensifies to the surface, and even more members of the Standing Committee are sued in turn, then the secretary of the municipal party committee can only be described as a failure.

Not to mention, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau are suspected of taking bribes, and the executive vice mayor has been named by the mayor in front of the provincial party committee's investigation team to bring them to justice, because the three deputy municipal officials and several department-level officials in the HLC case have been dismissed, and the sequelae are far from appearing.

The investigation team from the provincial party committee received feedback showing that Feng Guiping's image in the minds of Wushan Yubu was not very positive.

This series of things wanted to make Feng Guiping exhausted.

When he was about to send Zhou Tao away with the HLC case, he would never have thought that it would lead to the current situation, and he could only drink this cup of bitter wine by himself.

Wushan officialdom has become a mess, and if this continues, even if Zhou Tao is transferred, his reputation as the secretary of the municipal party committee in the province will plummet.

Today, the provincial party committee investigation team left Osan, and it seems that it is no longer important what Zuihou's conclusion is, what matters is the current chaos in Oshan, what the province will think, and what the higher levels will think.

But listening to Lu Zheng's report, Feng Guiping didn't show anything unusual, and after telling Lu Zheng a few words, he said: "Also, tomorrow you go to the provincial capital with me, Governor Zhao Changqing will personally listen to your report, you have been in charge of this work, I think it is safer for you to explain the situation to the provincial leaders." ”

Lu Zheng bowed slightly, and said: "Newman Law Firm is ready to use the bribery of HLC to fight, our chances of winning are very high, although Liu Baojun and Bu Kang did not know that the small gifts given by HLC were worth a lot of money, but according to US law, according to the previous cases of New York State, the value of the souvenirs sent by HLC has exceeded the normal range, and it can basically be determined that they paid bribes." ”

Feng Guiping sighed and said, "I finally heard good news. ”

The pager on Lu Zheng's waist beeped, and Lu Zheng got up to say goodbye.

At this time, the phone on the desk rang, Feng Guiping answered the phone, and after listening to a few words, his face changed, "What?" What did you say? ”

Lu Zheng was getting up and walking out, and as soon as he opened the door, Feng Guiping had already snapped the phone on.

Feng Guiping glanced at Lu Zheng deeply and said, "It seems that you are better informed than me. ”

Lu Zheng didn't say anything and walked out silently.

On the day that the investigation team of the provincial party committee left Wushan, several deputies to the National People's Congress suddenly jointly submitted to the NPC Standing Committee a proposal to impeach Executive Vice Mayor Sun Zhengguo.

Although Cheng Mingyuan, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, pressed down on the motion, and did not enter the discussion agenda at all, let alone enter the voting procedure, the news has already spread, and it has been reported by overseas media.

The deputies to the people's congress who made the proposal were dismissed from their qualifications one after another, and of course, this was a later matter.

Both Cheng Mingyuan and Zhou Tao were summoned to the provincial capital that afternoon to report to the leaders of the provincial party committee what had happened.

After coming back, Cheng Mingyuan characterized the incident as a political conspiracy at the closed-door meeting of the Standing Committee, and severely criticized Cheng Mingyuan, director of the National People's Congress, who attended the meeting, but everyone at the meeting could see that Secretary Feng seemed to have messed up.

Then, half a month later, Sun Zhengguo was investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The lingering autumn rain brings a chill.

In the private room of the small restaurant diagonally opposite the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Lu Zheng, Cheng Mingyuan and Du Kecheng were feasting around the hot pot.

Cheng Mingyuan was admitted to the Standing Committee after he became the director of the Municipal People's Congress, and just yesterday, he was removed from the post of director of the Municipal People's Congress, and Lu Zheng came to see him today.

Du Kecheng happened to meet at the gate of the Standing Committee, and happened to bump into Lu Zheng and Cheng Mingyuan, who were out for dinner, at the gate of the Standing Committee, and followed Lu Zheng at the warm invitation.

Cheng Mingyuan drank the liquor cup by glass, looking a little dizzy and excited, Lu Zheng persuaded him: "Brother Mingyuan, you drink slowly." ”

Cheng Mingyuan drank another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Zhengzi, I'm fine, don't look at me being dismissed, but in this life, in the position of director of the National People's Congress, I can make a proposal to impeach the executive vice mayor, and I am worth opening up the atmosphere first, right?" ”

Lu Zheng no longer persuaded him, just picked up the wine glass and silently clinked glasses with Cheng Mingyuan.

Du Kecheng was drinking with him, he didn't talk much, he just sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the Osan Rebellion would be like this.

There is a rumor in the province, although Zhou Tao is leaving, Feng Guiping will not stay long, and whoever is in chaos like this in the local area will be unable to escape the blame.

Du Kecheng glanced at Lu Zheng scrutinically, and sometimes thought about it, is there a reason for Lu Zheng that the political scene in Osan is in such a mess? Last time, it sounded like Lu Zheng was not very satisfied with Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao, did he just want to take this opportunity to send these two away?

This thought flashed away, and Duke Cheng immediately felt that he was thinking too much, which was really a bit unbelievable
