"Brother, do you know where Zhou Kai's parents moved to?" Li Ying asked as she tried to maintain a calm mood.

"I don't know this, I haven't heard of any distant relatives who do business before, but maybe there are, we are outsiders after all, how can we know so clearly." The old man shook his head.

When Li Ying heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, which was equivalent to not being able to find Zhou Kai's family.

"Does Zhou Kai have any sisters or sisters or something?" Li Ying asked again.

"Yes, his parents gave birth to four, three women, only Zhou Kai is a male, and he is still counting on the inheritance, and now he is in prison and sentenced to life, which is over."

Li Ying didn't have the heart to listen to the old man's nagging, and when she heard that Zhou Kai had three sisters, Li Ying hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you know where his three sisters are married?" ”

"I know where to marry, but I don't know which family to marry, one went to the county to work in the early years, and also married to the county, but where the home is, I don't know, the other ......"

The old man talked eloquently, and in the end he didn't even say an actual address, Li Ying listened, full of disappointment.

When he came out of the old man's house, it was already half an hour later, Li Ying asked everything she could ask about the situation of Zhou Kai's family, and in the end, in addition to knowing that Zhou Kai's parents no longer knew where to move, and did not know where Zhou Kai's three sisters were married, but fortunately, the old man knew the name, Li Ying wrote down the names of Zhou Kai's parents and sisters, and checked through the public security organs, which may not be impossible to find out.

"Brother Zhao, after hearing so much, what do you think?" got into the car, Li Ying sat quietly, turned her head and asked Zhao Zhengqi.

"Hey, it's pretty bizarre." Zhao Zhengqi sighed, he didn't dare to think about it, if there was really any suspicion, then Zhou Kai accidentally killed Li Yanpei, wouldn't someone have carefully designed and framed him? Zhao Zhengqi really didn't dare to think about it anymore, the people behind the scenes dared to do this, so bold, Zhao Zhengqi felt cold when he thought about it, and people without a background would never be able to make such a seamless thing, Zhao Zhengqi was a little afraid in his heart, if the conjecture was true, then he might be involved in a big conspiracy if he was not careful, and a small person like him would undoubtedly be crushed to pieces.

Zhao Zhengqi suddenly blamed himself for talking too much the night before, why did he tell Li Ying about drinking with his friends, he originally just had the idea of purely saying it to Li Ying, even if the friend and another prison guard who had contacted Zhou Kai were transferred out of Chengbei Prison, Zhao Zhengqi didn't think much about it, he felt that it was just a normal transfer between the same system, and Li Ying had suspicions, Zhao Zhengqi also wanted to help Li Ying check it out together, it didn't matter, he felt that there could be no mastermind behind the scenes, So I didn't feel scared in my heart, but now, what I heard was really abnormal, and Zhao Zhengqi also began to feel fearful.

Li Ying didn't pay attention to Zhao Zhengqi's expression, and continued to say at this moment, "Brother Zhao, I think we can use the public security organs to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Kai's family, what do you think, after all, if we find someone ourselves, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and it is relatively easy for the public security organs to find a person." ”

"Don't, Li Ying." Zhao Zhengqi shook his head violently.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Li Ying saw Zhao Zhengqi's reaction so big, and said strangely.

"Li Ying, don't you think it's bad? If, I mean, if there is really any conspiracy, and you are so swaggering that the public security organs want to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Kai's family, do you think the black hand behind the scenes will find out? On your own, do you think you can stand up to them? That will only put you in danger. Zhao Zhengqi looked at Li Ying, and between his words, he only mentioned Li Ying, but did not mention himself, which somewhat revealed his thoughts, Zhao Zhengqi did not dare to mix blindly anymore, he was a man with a family and a mouth, there was really a conspiracy, and he couldn't afford to mix.

Li Ying listened to Zhao Zhengqi's words, was stunned for a while, stared at Zhao Zhengqi, Li Ying suddenly understood, she was indeed a little wishful thinking, Zhao Zhengqi said before that there was no need to be outside, polite and the like, that was because Zhao Zhengqi felt that there was nothing suspicious about this matter, so he was willing to help enthusiastically, and now, there is really something abnormal, Zhao Zhengqi has begun to retreat, Li Ying did not blame Zhao Zhengqi, Zhao Zhengqi has a family, he can't take any risk for an unrelated thing.

"Brother Zhao is right, then let's go back first." Li Ying smiled indifferently and started the car.

On the way back to the mountain, Li Ying and Zhao Zhengqi were relatively silent, Zhao Zhengqi did not take the initiative to speak, Li Ying did not say much, a qiē was more like a tacit understanding, Zhao Zhengqi felt a little guilty, but he had to think about himself and his family, this kind of thing is really not something that a small person like him can get involved in.

It would have been past noon, and both of them had forgotten that they hadn't eaten lunch yet, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

When I returned to the city, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and when I was about to reach the intersection near the Justice Bureau, Zhao Zhengqi smiled and said, "Li Ying, I'll get off here." ”

"Okay." Li Ying nodded.

got out of the car, and finally waved to Li Ying, and Zhao Zhengqi walked back to the unit.

Li Ying sat in the car in a daze, watching Zhao Zhengqi leave, Li Ying wanted to say in her heart that it was impossible to be disappointed, but she couldn't blame Zhao Zhengqi, people were originally animals that seek advantages and avoid harm, Zhao Zhengqi is an outsider, why should he take risks for her? He had to think about him and his family.

I don't know how long it took, Li Ying hesitated, holding the mobile phone and hesitating whether to call Huang Jianghua, last night, Huang Jianghua left her a mobile phone number, Li Ying didn't know how much Huang Jianghua's words could be believed, but at the moment, she didn't seem to have anyone to ask for help, Zhao Zhengqi's reminder to her, Li Ying listened to it, she couldn't be reckless to go to the people from the Public Security Bureau to find out the whereabouts of Zhou Kai's family.

After thinking about it for two or three minutes, Li Ying still called.

"Secretary Huang, can I ask you out?" As soon as the phone rang, Li Ying said.

"You are?" Huang Jianghua on the other end of the phone did not store Li Ying's number, and he couldn't hear the other party's voice for a while.

"I'm Li Ying, the one who looked for Secretary Chen last night."

"Oh, it's Secretary Li's daughter."

"Well, is Secretary Huang available now?"

"I'm afraid it won't work now, I can't leave Secretary Chen's side, I have to wait until the evening to be free, what's the matter, what can't I say on the phone?"

"It may not be clear on the phone, it's better to talk in person, since Secretary Huang is free in the evening, then let's make an appointment for the evening, and I'll call Secretary Huang in the evening." Li Ying raised her hand and looked at the time, the time was not early, it was almost three o'clock.

Chen Xing's office, Huang Jianghua hung up Li Ying's phone and walked in, although Li Ying only asked him privately, Huang Jianghua felt that it was necessary to report to Chen Xing.

"Secretary, that Li Yanpei's daughter, asked me out at night, I wonder if I want to talk about his father again." Huang Jianghua looked at Chen Xingdao, who was flipping through the text.

"Since she asked you out alone, then you can go and listen to what she has to say." Chen Xing said with a smile.

"That's what I thought too." Huang Jianghua smiled and nodded.

After talking to Chen Xing, Huang Jianghua saw that Chen Xing had no other instructions, and Huang Jianghua also turned around and walked out.

In the corridor outside Chen Xing's office, Mayor Li Kaishan walked up the stairs, the Wangshan Municipal Party Committee is composed of three office buildings, Chen Xing works in an independent two-story office building, Chen Xing is on the second floor, and the Municipal Party Committee Office is downstairs.

Wei Sida's office was at the top of the stairs, and when Li Kaishan walked up, Wei Sida, who had just walked outside the office and stretched his waist, looked at it, and when he saw Li Kaishan, Wei Sida was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Mayor Li, are you looking for Secretary Chen?" ”

"Yes." Li Kaishan glanced at the other party and nodded indifferently.

"Then I'll let you know." Wei Sida said with a smile.

Li Kaishan responded lightly, looking at Wei Sida, who was enthusiastic about running errands, a trace of sharpness flashed in Li Kaishan's eyes.

Hearing Li Kaishan coming, Chen Xing immediately put down the work at hand, got up with a smile and greeted him, "Mayor Li is here, please come in." ”

"Secretary Chen is polite." Li Kaishan walked in quickly with a smile.

Chen Xing warmly invited Li Kaishan to sit down, and glanced at Wei Sida on the side, Wei Sida seemed to be willing, and turned around to pour water for Li Kaishan.

"Mayor Li, you drink water." Wei Sida brought the water to Li Kaishan, and then stood aside, without any intention of leaving.

Li Kaishan quietly turned his head and glanced at Wei Sida, smiled, and didn't say anything.

"Director Wei, you go and do your job, there's nothing else to do here." Chen Xing looked up at Wei Sida.

"Okay, then Secretary Chen, if you have any orders, call me." Wei Sida nodded, and walked out calmly.

Li Kaishan looked at Chen Xing in some surprise, he didn't say anything and didn't say anything, he didn't expect Chen Xing's observation to be so keen.

Wei Sida went out, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he didn't close the office door smoothly, Li Kaishan glanced at it, and he didn't mean to go and close the door.

In the office, there were only two people left, Li Kaishan stood up, walked to the window, and looked out, Chen Xing's office is in a very good location, although it is only the second floor, but the field of vision is very wide, there is no obstruction in front of it, and as far as the eye can see, there are buildings of different heights.

Holding the window with his hand, Li Kaishan looked a little stunned, and said, "Secretary Chen came to Wangshan, I don't know what he thinks of Wangshan?" ”

"Today is my third day here, so I don't have any opinions." Chen Xing smiled, also stood up and walked to the window, looking at the clear blue sky of Wangshan City, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile, "If you want to say that you are most impressed when you first came, the air in Wangshan City is much better than that in Nanzhou, which makes people feel refreshed." ”

"I heard that Secretary Chen has made great efforts to remediate polluting industries in Nanzhou, and has also made a lot of efforts to promote the industrial structure and upgrading." Li Kaishan still looked into the distance, he had done enough homework on Chen Xing in the past two days, and spent a lot of effort to understand what Chen Xing said and did in Nanzhou.

"I can't talk about doing a lot of hard work, many things are just the beginning, and I haven't been able to really implement it, no, I was transferred to Wangshan, and what I did before is likely to become useless." Chen Xing smiled, glanced at Li Kaishan, and secretly said that the other party had put a lot of effort into himself.

Li Kaishan listened to Chen Xing's words, nodded thoughtfully, a mayor is a policy, Chen Xing is transferred, the new mayor may not agree with what Chen Xing did before, and it is not impossible to stop the policy implemented by Chen Xing, but now the new mayor of Nanzhou City has not yet come out, and it is still unknown who will take over Chen Xing's position.

"What does Secretary Chen think of our Wangshan?" Li Kaishan asked with a smile.

"Good mountains and good waters." Chen Xing smiled slightly.

"Good mountains and good water, Wangshan City is also worthy of this evaluation, Wangshan City's economic ranking is the first in the province, but the air and environmental indicators, it is well-deserved in the province's first." Li Kaishan shook his head with a smile, "But this is not an irony, good air and good environment mean no development from another level, which can be interpreted as backwardness." ”

"Mayor Li, I don't dare to agree with what you say." Chen Xing said with a smile and refuted Li Kaishan's words, "If you look at the developed countries in the West, can their air and environment be said to be bad?" Their air and environment are better than most of our places, and their economy is also more developed than ours, which shows that Mayor Li's view is not valid. ”

"That's true, Secretary Chen said this, I can't refute it." Li Kaishan nodded very seriously, and then said, "Secretary Chen, to be honest with you, when I first heard that the province was going to transfer Secretary Chen over, I was a little disappointed, I was thinking why the province didn't let me, the mayor who is more familiar with the situation in Wangshan, succeed as secretary, but then I thought about it carefully, the province's considerations are not wrong, my ability is limited, and I am old, the province let me serve as the secretary, what was Wangshan like before, what will it be like in the future, I can't bring many new changes to Wangshan City." ”

Li Kaishan paused, "On the other hand, Secretary Chen, you are in the prime of life, you have enthusiasm, and you also have momentum, you come to Wangshan, not only to bring a new atmosphere to Wangshan, but also more likely to develop Wangshan and bring more benefits to the people of Wangshan City, these are all incomparable to me." ”

Li Kaishan said very calmly, what he said now, although it is hidden, but also from the bottom of his heart, Chen Xing came to Wangshan, he can rely on the rich high-level network resources in his hands to help Wangshan strive for more funds and policies as much as possible, moreover, Chen Xing's work experience in Nanzhou, the provincial capital, and Haicheng, which can also be regarded as a developed coastal city, makes Chen Xing likely to drive a number of enterprises from Nanzhou or Jianghai Province to invest in Wangshan, which is beyond the reach of his local cadres. He grew up step by step from the government unit, to the position of today's mayor, the scope of work has never been out of Wangshan, compared with Chen Xing, he has no high-level background, and no corporate resources, it is too much worse.

Moreover, after a short period of loss, Li Kaishan was even more vaguely glad that he failed to become a secretary, thinking of Zhang Lixing's people, Li Kaishan sighed, if he really became a secretary, perhaps, it would be worse for Wangshan.

The atmosphere was slightly silent, Chen Xing obviously didn't expect Li Kaishan to suddenly have such a 'heartfelt words', although he didn't know how much Li Kaishan was sincere, but Chen Xing was really surprised that Li Kaishan would say this.

"When Mayor Li said this, I almost didn't know anything about the southeast and northwest." After a while, Chen Xing smiled.

"Secretary Chen, I'm telling the truth." Li Kaishan looked at Chen Xing and laughed, he had been secretly looking at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing smiled undeniably, the official word is two, Li Kaishan's words are true or false, only he knows it, and he also looks at Li Kaishan, Chen Xing doesn't know what the other party is looking for him.

"Secretary Chen, I came to you for financial matters." Li Kaishan sighed, "It looks like it's already October, and it's the end of the year in two months, but the city's financial gap is very large, and the wages to public institutions at the end of the year are almost impossible to pay. ”

"So strict?" Chen Xing's face also became solemn, and he couldn't even pay his salary, even when he worked in Ximen County before, Ximen County was considered a poor county in Haicheng, and he didn't get to this Cheng dù.

"Hey, doesn't the city give priority to ensuring the construction of several large projects, and the financial funds are tilted towards the project." Li Kaishan shook his head helplessly, "So the city's already stretched financial situation is even worse." ”

"Speaking of which, the economic development is still too backward, our own economic development cannot be developed, and it is not a way to keep reaching out to our superiors." Chen Xing's expression was stern.

"I agree with this, but our results in attracting investment this year are not too good, to put it mildly, most of the large companies look down on us Wangshan, what about small companies, you want people to come over to build a factory, he put a lot of requirements for you, to this and that, I wish we would pay them over, I don't know how difficult it is to serve." Li Kaishan smiled bitterly, he, the mayor, had a deep understanding of this.

Chen Xing listened to Li Kaishan's words, and also fell into deep thought, now Wangshan City's top priority is to seek development, and attracting investment is the most important task.

"I think we can prepare an investment promotion conference in Nanzhou to attract more enterprises from Nanzhou to invest in Wangshan." Chen Xing pondered for a moment and said.

"I agree with this, but it's not like I haven't held an investment promotion conference in Nanzhou before, and the effect is not very good." Li Kaishan shook his head and smiled, and when he saw Chen Xing, he slapped his forehead again, "Look at my memory, I forgot that Secretary Chen you came from Nanzhou in the blink of an eye, if this investment promotion meeting is personally led by Secretary Chen, the effect will definitely be different." ”

"Mayor Li doesn't need to say flattery, whether the effect is good or not depends on the result, and he can't say anything now." Chen Xing smiled indifferently, before things were done, Chen Xing didn't like to praise Haikou, talk less and do more, this is also his four-character mantra for officials.

The municipal government, when Chen Xing and Li Kaishan were still chatting, Executive Vice Mayor Zhang Lixing's office, and Office Director Liang Jing looked at Zhang Lixing, who was still in the mood to laugh, Liang Jing was a little puzzled, "Mayor Zhang, aren't you afraid that Mayor Li will go to Secretary Chen and say something that shouldn't be said?" ”

"What can he say?" Zhang Lixing glanced at Liang Jing and smiled, "Could it be that you, the director of the office, have a very messy relationship with me?" ”

"Go." Liang Jing took a sip, her face was slightly red, how could Li Kaishan be bored enough to chew this kind of tongue, as far as she knew about Li Kaishan, Li Kaishan was not interested in this kind of bullshit at all.

"Director Liang, tell me, how do I write this handwriting?" Zhang Lixing put down the brush in his hand with a smile, and it was one of his pleasures to take the brush and pull it twice in the office.

"Mayor Zhang, you, don't let me boast, who doesn't know that your calligraphy is beautiful, but one of the calligraphy works you promised me hasn't been written to me yet." Liang Jing looks coquettish, Zhang Lixing's brush writing is indeed very brilliant, or the president of the Municipal Calligraphy Association, Liang Jing does not know how to compare and appreciate with those so-called masters, but at least it is not good-looking, she will still watch, the city does not know how many people are queuing up to ask for Zhang Lixing's ink treasure, although there are many people who are sycophants, but Zhang Lixing's brush words are good-looking is indeed the truth.

"Isn't this ready-made in front of you, you take it back, frame it and hang it." Zhang Lixing said with a smile.

"I don't want it, you just wrote two lines of poetry casually, I want you to write a pair for me." Liang Jing pursed her lips and looked at the two poems written by Zhang Lixing, 'Looking at the side of the ridge as a peak, the distance and the height are different', Zhang Lixing just now used these two poems to make her laugh.

"Aren't these two poems written by me, or are they written especially for you?" Zhang Lixing said with a wicked smile.

"Mayor Zhang, you can't be serious." Liang Jing glanced at Zhang Lixing with small eyes, "Are you really not afraid that Mayor Zhang will say something to Chen Xing?" ”

"If he really wants to say something, do you think he will swagger to Chen Xing's office to let everyone know? So he went to Chen Xing, at most, to talk about some business. Zhang Lixing smiled.

When Liang Jing heard this, she was also thoughtful, what Zhang Lixing said was not unreasonable, but Zhang Lixing was not worried at all, Liang Jing also had to admire Zhang Lixing, even if he had Li Kaishan's handle at hand, Zhang Lixing really thought that he could hold Li Kaishan to the death, as stable as Mount Tai? She has been the director of the office for more than a year, and the closer she gets to Li Kaishan, the more she feels that the man's city government is too deep.

……

Not long after Zhao Zhengqi returned to the Justice Bureau, he was so hungry that his stomach growled, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch at noon, and ate a big bowl of beef noodles in a snack bar next to the bureau.

Thinking of Li Ying, Zhao Zhengqi shook his head helplessly, it's not that he wasn't righteous enough and retreated at the critical moment, but that he really can't afford that kind of thing, he still has a wife and children, if the other party really dares to even start a secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, is he a small clerk of the Justice Bureau? People can pinch him to death casually, Zhao Zhengqi is not unrighteous, but unable to be righteous.

Back in the bureau, Zhao Zhengqi was about to walk back to his office, but was stopped by Jia Yunwu, the director of the office, "Xiao Zhao, I was looking for you." ”

"Director Jia, what are you looking for me?" When Zhao Zhengqi saw that it was Jia Yunwu, he hurriedly lowered his head and stepped up.

"I have something to tell you, the bureau is going to transfer you to the Goushan County Branch, you go back and prepare, and you will go to Goushan County tomorrow, this is the order." Jia Yunwu said, and stuffed a piece of paper into Zhao Zhengqi's hand.

"No...... No, Director Jia, why did the bureau suddenly want to transfer me to Goushan County? Zhao Zhengqi was dumbfounded, and quickly caught up with Jia Yunwu.

"I don't know about this, only you know." Jia Yunwu glanced at Zhao Zhengqi, looking at this poor young man, Jia Yunwu shook his head, reached out and patted Zhao Zhengqi's shoulder, "Young man, do it yourself." ”

"Director Jia, I didn't do anything wrong." Zhao Zhengqi said urgently.

"I didn't say you did anything wrong, Xiao Zhao, don't talk nonsense." Jia Yunwu said with a glare.

"Why did the bureau transfer me to Goushan County?" Zhao Zhengqi was about to cry, his home was in the city, Goushan County, which was nearly three hours' drive from the city, was the farthest county in Wangshan City, that was where he could go, he went to work there, it was inconvenient to go home, and it was so poor that the treatment and benefits could not be compared with the city bureau.

"The bureau transferred you to the Goushan County Judicial Bureau, that is to train you, which shows that the bureau attaches great importance to you, and maybe it will train you as a key cadre in the future, you work hard, and you will have a lot to do in the future." Jia Yunwu smiled and turned to leave.

"Director Jia, then I ask the bureau not to train me to become successful, and I don't ask to be trained as a key cadre." Zhao Zhengqi cried with a sad face.

"Xiao Zhao, how did you speak, why did you say that your consciousness was so low." Jia Yunwu had a calm face, "Tomorrow you will get the Goushan County Bureau to report, this is the instructions of the bureau leader, if you don't report on time......"

Jia Yunwu didn't finish speaking, and chuckled, but that smile was in Zhao Zhengqi's eyes, but it made him creepy.

"Xiao Zhao, you have to remember, I will report to Goushan County on time tomorrow." Jia Yunwu glanced at Zhao Zhengqi one last time, turned around and left humming a little tune.

Zhao Zhengqi stood stupidly in place, looking at the appointment at hand, his face was full of bitterness, and he was still exercising, he is now the deputy chief clerk, transferred to the Goushan County Branch, or the deputy chief clerk, and he was not given any leadership position, so it is also said to be exercise, what about the three-year-old child?

"What will I do after that?" With the order, Zhao Zhengqi walked to the department in despair, this transfer left, I don't know when he can be transferred back, his wife is still in the city, Goushan County is so far away from the city, he almost has to come back once a week, compared with the current comfortable little days, the sudden change obviously caught him off guard, and he was a little unable to adapt.

"Lao Tzu is recruiting someone to provoke whom, and he will have this kind of unfortunate thing for no reason." Zhao Zhengqi scolded angrily in his heart, full of unwillingness, but he knew that he was powerless to fight, Jia Yunwu's smile just now, Zhao Zhengqi felt scared when he thought about it, if he didn't report on time tomorrow, it would probably be worse, this is tantamount to suing him, he has to leave this afternoon, let him get out of the way immediately.

"Lao Tzu usually respects as a good person in the unit, he has never offended anyone, and his popularity is the best, why did this kind of bad luck fall on me, who did I offend?" Zhao Zhengqi thought angrily.

When he walked to the door of the department, Zhao Zhengqi, who suddenly thought of something, stood stunned as if he had been immobilized by a spell, he thought of going out with Li Ying today, and even more thought of Li Yanpei's shocking case that might be a conspiracy, Zhao Zhengqi's back was a little cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
