Just when Zhou Qiushui was hesitating, Murphy's theorem once again exerted its power. News from Ping'an County, the Municipal Transportation Bureau, and the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee came one after another, and it was indeed found that several cadres of the Commission for Discipline Inspection were carrying out investigations without a match. At the moment it seems to be some very casual small talk and simple surveys. Huang Shanyu no longer hid it from him, explaining that he had just learned that someone had sent a letter of complaint to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Secretary Shangguan had given instructions, and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection had sent someone to do a routine investigation, which would pass soon.

But Zhou Qiushui knew that things were not so simple, and there was a danger hidden in them. They're looking for an entry point, and once they've verified the key details, they'll tear through their masks and pounce on you like a cheetah, biting down on your throat until you're bleeding all over the ground and you're dying. However, Zhou Qiushui didn't seem to have any way to crack it, and he seemed helpless. Perhaps, he felt that he was invulnerable. Perhaps, he just seems to be calm, but in fact he is looking for help everywhere.

As the days passed, Zhou Qiushui, like Wei Dechang back then, still participated in various meetings, still attended various ceremonies, still appeared frequently at various dinners, and still maintained his signature smile. It seems that it is normal, and there is no need to pay attention to the investigation of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Yuan Jinpeng thought, maybe it was just an anonymous letter, and Zhou Qiushui could survive this catastrophe. But Zhou Qiushui didn't think so, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and always paid attention to the investigation team's every move. After another dozen days, the investigation team was abruptly withdrawn. At this point, Zhou Qiushui was finally relieved, glad that he was not knocked down by Huang Shanyu's dark arrow.

Where did Zhou Qiushui know that this was the investigation team's plan to "repair the plank road in the dark and show the cang". A few days later, Su Xiaosong had just returned to Qingchuan when he was taken away by the investigation team. Then, a contractor named "Lao Gao", who had returned to Ping'an County a few days earlier, was also taken away. Obviously, the withdrawal of the investigation team is only a false shot, and only in this way can those who have anything to do with the case be "lured" out, and they have previously hid without a trace.

The danger was approaching step by step, and Zhou Qiushui was frightened and felt that he could not sit still no matter what, and he had to do his best to meet with the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial discipline inspection commission, and report the matter of Huang Shanyu's unscrupulous crackdown on dissidents to Shangguan Liming, and ask the secretary of Shangguan to distinguish between right and wrong. He hurried downstairs, called the old horse, and drove straight to Longxing. On the highway, Lao Ma found that he had been followed by a Honda "Accord" sedan.

Lao Ma said: "Secretary Zhou, the car behind us has been with us for a few days, and it is coming again." ”

Zhou Qiushui looked up at the rearview mirror: "Follow, let him follow, we will go to the provincial party committee openly." ”

When he arrived at the provincial party committee, Zhou Qiushui found Lin Xiaohua.

Lin Xiaohua flipped through the schedule: "Secretary Shangguan held a meeting in the provincial military region in the morning, and he will accompany the head of the Nanjing Military Region at noon. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I met with the central media group at the Binjiang Hotel, and it is estimated that I will return to the office at 5 o'clock. You go to the courtyard at half past four o'clock and wait, I will report to the leader in advance, whether it is okay or not, I will inform you. ”

After that, he sent Zhou Qiushui to the corridor, but he didn't leave Zhou Qiushui to eat, and he didn't even squeak hypocritically.

Zhou Qiushui was a little unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was able to understand again. As the saying goes, "rich and easy to wife, expensive and easy to make friends", Lin Xiaohua is not what it used to be, he is a celebrity next to Shangguan Liming, and he is very busy, how can he have time to eat with you? Besides, when is it, why bother with these trivial things.

There were still several hours before the appointed time in the afternoon, and Zhou Qiushui told Lao Ma to go to the city's Wang Street for a turn.

The old horse said, "The tail is still there." ”

Zhou Qiushui sneered: "Ignore him, we played with ours, and we all sent ourselves to the provincial party committee, what else do you want?" ”

The car drove out of the compound of the provincial party committee and went to Shengli Avenue, and arrived at the most prosperous mango shopping plaza in the city after ten minutes. The old horse parked the car in the underground parking lot, looked around when he got out of the car, and did not find the "Accord" car, felt strange, and muttered "Hello!" ”。 Zhou Qiushui said, old horse, leave him alone. led the old horse into the Mango Building. The third and fourth floors of the building are boutique men's clothing sales areas, gathering international brands such as Armani, Versace, Montegie, Giordano and Crocodile.

When he walked to the Mengtejiao area, Zhou Qiushui stopped and said to Lao Ma: "You go and choose a silk T-shirt." ”

Lao Ma looked at him puzzled: "Secretary Zhou, no, I'm driving, where can I wear out?" ”

Zhou Qiushui stretched out his hand and touched the white hair on the old horse's head, and said emotionally: "Old horse, you were less than thirty years old when you drove for me in the Transportation Bureau, and now you are almost fifty, and you have white hair." After following me for so many years, I haven't helped you much. You're also unlucky, and you lost more than half of your money in the stock market last year. Give a Mengte Jiao today, so that you will not be willing to wear an expensive dress for the rest of your life. ”

Lao Ma shook his hand: "Secretary Zhou, look at what you said, you really don't need it." ”

Zhou Qiushui pointed to a dark gray silk T-shirt with a price tag of 680 yuan, and asked, "What do you think of this?" ”

Lao Ma said earnestly: "Secretary Zhou, really don't waste it. ”

Zhou Qiushui asked the salesman to take off the T-shirt and let the old horse try it on, and it really fit.

While swiping the card, he said to Lao Ma: "Lao Ma, let me buy you a dress, so that I don't have regrets." ”

When the old horse heard this, his nose was sore, his eyes were overflowing with tears, and he almost fell out. Coming out of the Mango Mansion, they found a nearby restaurant to eat. After a simple meal, it was not yet one o'clock. Zhou Qiushui said, let's watch a movie. I entered the Mango Building again and found Wanda Cinemas. The movies that are being released include "Silver Empire" starring Aaron Kwok, "Panting" starring Ge You and Lin Xilei, and "Ji Qì Xia" starring Hu Jun and Sun Li. Zhou Qiushui looked at the poster carefully and decided to watch "Panting", he has always admired Ge You.

It was already more than four o'clock when I returned to the provincial party committee compound, but the sun was still blazing outside. The old horse parked the car in a corner on the east side of the compound, did not turn off the engine, and turned on the air conditioner. Zhou Qiushui didn't know how long to wait, so he leaned the seat back, half-lying, closed his eyes and chatted with the old horse.

"Old horse, do you believe in fate? Confucius said, fifty is the destiny of heaven. I'm 50 years old, but I'm struggling with fate. The fortune teller said I was in jail this year, and I scoffed at it last month. Now look, it's dangerous. People are trying to mess with you, unless you practice a body that is invulnerable, otherwise, they can always help you find some problems. ”

"Secretary Zhou, don't be so pessimistic. I've been driving with you for so many years, what kind of person you are, what kind of official, I know best, it's okay. Huangshan rain covers the sky in Qingchuan, isn't there still a provincial party committee and the central government? There was a fortune teller who said that my father would only live to be forty-one years old, but in the end my father lived to be seventy-seven. ”

"I, a farmer's child, can be the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, which can be regarded as green smoke on the ancestral grave. Some people say I still want to go on, but I really don't care. I'm tired of going down this road, there are too many struggles for power! Too much deceit! Too much pouring stampede! And that's not even the hardest. Relatives and friends come to the door, bring some cigarettes, alcohol and some local products, and send a red envelope for the New Year, do you accept it? I also want to clean myself, but the question is really to make myself Hai Rui into a hanging fish too guarded, do you still have friends? Can you still mix in this circle? In strict accordance with the relevant regulations on party conduct and clean government and the standards for filing cases of bribery, how many people can pass the test? Who to check and who not to check, is it not the top of the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee who have the final say? Sometimes, those in power in some localities use the discipline inspection department as a knife in their own hands to crack down on dissidents. I'm not spotless, but I'm not a big problem with my confidence, but they insist on opening decades of old account books for you, who can stand it?! Some men spend the first half of their lives engaging with women, and the second half of their lives preferring men. Alas, I took life seriously, but I was mocked by life and met the nemesis of Huang Shanyu. ”

"How can it be so strict. Secretary Zhou, you think it's complicated. Perhaps, when I see Secretary Shangguan later, everything will be made clear. ”

"It's as simple as you think, old horse. I have a purely working relationship with Secretary Shangguan, and I am not familiar with each other. He must believe in Mao Siwei more and believe in Huang Shanyu, planning things is in people, and things are in the sky, and I want to do my best. Alas! Old Ma, no matter what, I know in my heart that you and Fu Zhou will not be implicated. If anything, please go and see my old mother often. No matter how strong she is, I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand such a blow! ”

"Secretary Zhou, don't worry! Your mother is our mother, what is the matter with you, Fu Zhou and I must go to visit the old lady every once in a while. You're a good officer! Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he must be fine. ”

"Alas! What a good officer? When I was a child, when I read books and watched plays, I always had to divide loyal ministers and traitors, good officials and bad officials. Some time ago, I watched a TV series and said that officials are only big and small, not good or bad. It's a terrible thing to say, but it's not the truth. The official university crushes people to death, and when it becomes bigger, the platform will be bigger, the circle of friends will be bigger, and there will be more resources. Therefore, if you walk on this road, only by desperately climbing up and climbing up can you have a bigger world and a better future. At this time, who cares what means? I don't care about the principles and bottom lines. It is said that political battles are the most brutal and dirty. This is not a lie, my Zhou Qiushui's weakness is that the bookish atmosphere is too strong. However, then again, fighting over and over, isn't it a handful of loess in the end? Old horse, don't be an official for your children and grandchildren. Officialdom makes people ruthless and indifferent. For more than 20 years after I climbed to the county level, I didn't take the initiative to invite my relatives and friends to a meal - even if I felt that they had asked for me, I helped them. Alas! ”

Lao Ma saw that the time was half past four, and reminded Zhou Qiushui and said, "Secretary Zhou, it's half past four, do you want to call Secretary General Lin?" ”

Zhou Qiushui sat up straight, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Lin Xiaohua's phone. The phone rang again and again, but the other party did not answer. Lao Ma raised his head and saw in the rearview mirror that the familiar "Accord" sedan was leading another car into the compound of the provincial party committee, and the car close to them stopped. Then, five or six people came down from the two cars.

Lao Ma hurriedly shouted: "Secretary Zhou, Secretary Zhou, look at ......."

Zhou Qiushui turned his head and saw a person lowering his head and knocking on the car window. Startled, he rubbed his eyes and slowly pressed the window. There were three men standing on each side of the cart, and there was a face he seemed to have seen somewhere. Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? He suddenly remembered that the tall man with a hooked nose was Director Tang of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Shuanggui?! He clearly saw the blood-stained wild boar crashing straight towards him, only to feel his brain "buzz" explode, and suddenly floated into the air, and saw them escort themselves to the "Accord" car and escort the old horse to another car.
