The damp floor, the slightly dark aisle, until the lights are turned on, people feel a glimmer of light, and the head is a creaking old ceiling fan, Chen Xing feels very uncomfortable standing in such an environment, what kind of crime it must be to live in it, but the prisoner can only live in this environment, listening to what the prison warden Zhao Jiayu said, Xing Tiande is considered to have received special treatment, at least he lives in a separate small room, although this room has nothing except a wooden board used as a bed, But compared to other places that lived in a row and looked like a pigsty, Xing Tiande's conditions were good.

"If the life in the prison is very comfortable, then there must be some people who can't live outside to rush to the prison to enjoy the happiness, except that there is no freedom, life is comfortable, why not do it, so this prison can not be comfortable, in addition to ensuring the basic life, the harder the better, those who have been in prison and go out, will not dare to commit it again." Zhao Jiayu said to Chen Xing with a smile, "To put it mildly, this prisoner's life in prison is not much better than livestock." ”

Chen Xing nodded, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xing and Yang Zhen chatted for a while, or decided to go to the prison to take a look at Xing Tiande, accompanied by Yang Zhen, Zhao Jiayu followed Chen Xing and Yang Zhen to stand at the door for a while, and finally left first under Yang Zhen's eyes, Chen Xing and Yang Zhen obviously didn't want him to be at the scene, Zhao Jiayu also walked away with interest.

When he left, he looked back from time to time, Yang Zhen had just come in the evening, not to mention that Yang Zhen had never set foot here to see Xing Tiande, it would be almost early in the morning, Yang Zhen accompanied Chen Xing over, Zhao Jiayu's stomach was full of questions, he didn't recognize Chen Xing, the first secretary of the Haicheng Municipal Party Committee after Xing Tiande, Zhao Jiayu was still thunderous, mainly because Chen Xing started as a secretary to Zhou Mingfang, and he got up too fast step by step, and now he is already a deputy department-level cadre, and he can be ranked with the city leaders. Although Zhao Jiayu is in the judicial system and deals with prisoners all year round, he is relatively on the edge of the mainstream officialdom in Haicheng, but it does not mean that he does not know Chen Xing.

"They all worked as secretaries for Zhou Mingfang, one was promoted step by step and had a prosperous official fortune, but the other was reduced to a prisoner, which is really the same life." Zhao Jiayu muttered in his heart, he didn't have any sympathy for Xing Tiande, but he was a little envious of Chen Xing, in the system, he knew how difficult it was to climb up, like him, he would probably deal with prisoners until retirement in this life.

Zhao Jiayu left, Xing Tiande glanced at Yang Zhen lightly, turned his head to Chen Xing and said, "Brother Chen Xing, can I talk to you alone?" ”

"Hey, you're so good." Yang Zhen was sarcastic, because Xing Tiande called Brother Chen Xing so smoothly, and he wanted him to avoid it, Yang Zhen inevitably had a little anger in his heart, if it weren't for Chen Xing by his side, Yang Zhen would have had a seizure a long time ago.

"Yang Ju, you go outside for a walk, I'll talk to him alone." Chen Xing turned around and said to Yang Zhen, since they are all in prison, it is nothing to talk to Xing Tiande alone, see what the other party has to say.

When Yang Zhen heard this, he just stared at Xing Tiande with some annoyance, and he didn't mean anything about Chen Xing, and walked outside, Chen Xing and Xing Tiande were left in the small room, Chen Xing's eyes were withdrawn from each other, "Say it, if you have something to say, you have to let Yang Zhen leave." ”

"I haven't seen you for a few years, the Chen Xing brothers are already the deputy directors of the ministries and commissions, it's really enviable, think about the past when we both worked together as a secretary to Secretary Zhou, when I was in the municipal party committee, the Chen Xing brothers were still depressed in the political research room, I didn't expect the times to change, one of us was wearing prison uniforms, and the other was sitting on the high hall." Xing Tiande stared at Chen Xing and said leisurely, unwilling, jealous, envious, resentful... All kinds of feelings appeared on Xing Tiande's face.

At this moment, Xing Tiande's complicated mood, perhaps only he can understand, originally, this qiē should belong to him, but was robbed by Chen Xing, Xing Tiande was full of resentment, no matter what the facts were, but he thought so, if his position as secretary at that time was not replaced by Chen Xing, then it was him who was the scenery now, not Chen Xing, maybe he is also a deputy department-level cadre now.

"You already know it's a thing of the past, does it make sense to say it now?" Chen Xing frowned, Chen Xing was quite displeased with Xing Tiande's words about Chen Xing's brothers, besides, he has such an achievement now, Zhou Mingfang can only be said to be one of the factors, to the point where he was transferred to the ministry, it almost has nothing to do with Zhou Mingfang, listening to Xing Tiande's tone, he completely thinks that he can come to this point, all because of Zhou Mingfang's support, and Chen Xing is too lazy to explain.

"How could it be meaningless, if it weren't for your appearance, would Secretary Zhou have the idea of changing the secretary? If I am no longer Secretary Zhou's secretary, even if I have a problem with myself, who would dare to find out about me? Hmph, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, even if it is to borrow the courage of those members of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, they don't dare to check me. Xing Tiande roared, "It's all because of you, it's all because of your appearance, it's you who robbed me of my position and my future, so that I became a prisoner step by step." ”

"So that's why you're framing me? Do you think you're doing your dirty thing? Thanks to Secretary Zhou who was not affected, otherwise you would have really succeeded. Chen Xing sneered, "Your own faults are all blamed on others, it seems that you have been in prison for almost three years, and you have not repented, in my opinion, the court sentenced you to eight years is considered light, and it is really cheap for you not to give you ten or twenty years." ”

"Framed?" Xing Tiande was slightly stunned, and then laughed, "Yes, I framed you, the only thing I hate is that I didn't let the newspaper publish your front photo, only gave you a small close-up of the side face, so that people can't recognize you at once, it was my mistake not to let you become a celebrity the next day, I am still too soft-hearted, if I had been ruthless at the time, maybe it would have been completely different now, you should actually thank me, if it weren't for the scruples of saving you some face, I would have directly instructed the newspaper to give you a big close-up of the front that night." , let people see the glorious image of you being swept away. ”

"It's really shameless." Chen Xing smiled and shook his head, he didn't move, not how open-minded his realm was, but Xing Tiande didn't have the qualifications to let him move at all, the two were no longer on the same level, if Chen Xing was really angry, he would fall behind.

"If you are cheap, you are invincible, but then again, I am still a little short of the fire." Xing Tiande smiled disapprerovingly, "Brother Chen Xing, if you let Yang Zhen come to me first, you must have also had the intention of testing me." ”

"Do you think that in your current situation, you are still qualified to let me test it?" Chen Xing pursed his lips, "I'm here too, you can say whatever you want, if it's all nonsense like just now, then I don't have the time to waste time with you here." ”

"Oh, it's different when this person is a big leader, every second of time is precious, and it's really a waste of time to come to this prison." Xing Tiande's eyes flickered, "Brother Chen Xing, since you are also here, then we will not talk darkly, the peach-colored trap I dug for you a few years ago, the photos are still there, I didn't put it at home at that time but left a back hand for myself, otherwise there is really nothing to rely on now." ”

Xing Tiande paused when he said this, and finally threw out his purpose, "I want to make a request to you, I will be released from prison at the end of the year, I don't know if Brother Chen Xing can help." ”

"You're going to be out of prison at the end of the year?" Chen Xing glanced at Xing Tiande incredulously, "You really dare to mention it, there are still five years in prison, you want to be exempted?" Besides, why do you think I can help you, and even if I can, why should I help you? ”

"You can help, with your status Chen Xing today, it's just easy to help me, as for whether you are willing to help, hey, Brother Chen Xing, those photos are somewhat indecent, you have a harmonious family now, happy and happy, you don't want people to destroy your happiness, if those photos are exposed on the Internet, then you will be in trouble, maybe it will not be the family that will be affected, maybe even your future will be dragged down." Xing Tiande looked confident.

"You're so confident?" Chen Xing stared at Xing Tiande, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.

"Yes, I just have this self-confidence, I have endured it for three years, watching you rise step by step, I have always endured it, to this day, I can't help it, I don't want to stay in this ghost place anymore, and it's only been three years, you also surprised me, you have come to such a height, now you have the ability to let me go out early, I don't need to waste time." A trace of excitement flashed in Xing Tiande's eyes, thinking that he was about to be able to get out of this ghost place, Xing Tiande's whole person was about to boil.

"So, you didn't rush to threaten me with photos a few years ago, just to wait for me to go higher and get the most out of you?" Chen Xing's eyes froze slightly, he didn't expect Xing Tiande to be able to endure until he was imprisoned for three years before throwing his back hand out.

"Yes, I've been paying attention to you in the past few years, in such a short time, you climbed to the deputy hall, it really surprised me, now I don't have to endure it, I don't want to endure it, these photos can finally play the greatest value."

"Do you think you can do whatever you want in such a place?" Chen Xing sneered, his eyes were cold, "Since you have told me the truth, then you think I will be threatened by you?" Don't you think there are many ways to get you to confess where those pictures were put in this prison? ”

"I dare to tell you this, of course I won't be unprepared at all, people are swords, I am fish and meat, I am now in prison, and I dare to threaten you a deputy department-level cadre, do you think I will be so idiotic that I don't even have two preparations." Xing Tiande's eyebrows raised slightly, and the beard on his face added a little anger to him.

"Oh, tell me, what did you prepare?" Chen Xing suppressed the anger surging in his heart.

"I can tell you unmistakably that as long as I am punished in this prison, someone outside will immediately expose your photo, don't doubt my ability to communicate with the outside world, even if you restrict anyone from visiting me, I still have a way to pass on the news." Xing Tiande looked directly at Chen Xing, "Brother Chen Xing, seriously, I don't want to see that situation happen, because I don't want to tear my face with you, I believe we will become friends." ”

"It's an honor to have a friend like you who specializes in stabbing in the back." The depths of Chen Xing's eyes were already full of rising anger, and he had to endure it.

"Time is also fate, and I have no choice but to do it." Xing Tiande said helplessly, "In these years, people's hearts are cold, those friends who called me brothers and sisters in the past, when they saw me in trouble, heh, no two came to see me, not to mention the wine and meat friends in the officialdom, if the previous connections can still work, I won't embarrass Brother Chen Xing, as long as I can get a medical parole, I would have gone out early, but unfortunately those Wang Balamb are all people who have fallen into the well, and no one is willing to help me, I will make them pay the price sooner or later." Xing Tiande said in the end, gritting his teeth.

"I made a note of what you said, and I will seriously consider it." Chen Xing glanced at Xing Tiande deeply, turned around and walked out, and if he stayed any longer, Chen Xing's anger couldn't help but explode.

The door slammed shut, and Xing Tiande's voice could be faintly heard behind him, "Brother Chen Xing, my patience is very limited, if I can't go out at the end of the year, then I can't guarantee that I have to do something." ”

Yang Zhen, who was waiting outside the door, also heard the words coming from inside, and looked at Chen Xing suspiciously, "Director Chen, what's going on?" ”

"Let's go, let's go out." Chen Xing took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

On the side of the street, Yang Zhen parked his car under a big tree and looked at Chen Xing in disbelief, "Director Chen, could it be that there is Xing Tiande's internal response in this prison?" ”

"It's not that there is no such possibility, otherwise how would he pass on the news to the outside world?" Chen Xing looked angry, "Yang Ju, this matter is handed over to you, first stabilize Xing Tiande, and then check it carefully in prison, I believe you are more experienced than me in this kind of thing, I won't say much, you can do it yourself." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best." Yang Zhen nodded, knowing that it was Chen Xing who let him do it.

Separated from Yang Zhen, Chen Xing's figure appeared in the community where He Li lived, went upstairs, twisted the doorknob lightly, the door opened as expected, and the room was dark, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, then lightened his steps, gently locked the door, covered his eyes from behind with a pair of hands, smelled the fragrance of roses, and the corners of Chen Xing's mouth rippled with a smile, which is the perfume smell used by He Li all year round.
