Chapter 477: The classmates gathered and asked themselves

Facing this former classmate and friend, Yuan Xiaosheng was a little confused. Everyone else has sharpened their heads and drilled up, but their old colleagues are good, but the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office who gave it for nothing is dead or alive, and inevitably asked: "You are a dead brain, why?" ”

Zhou Zifang lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said: "Didn't you just say that thousands of miles of officials are wealth." I'm still a little self-aware, I don't dare to be greedy and I don't dare to touch it, how to make money. I also have to prevent one day from 'being killed', so being an official is just a cumbersome name for me. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't help but nodded, thinking to himself, if there are not so many benefits to being an official, I'm afraid there are few people who are willing to bear this "cumbersome false name".

The two of them were silent for a while, and Yuan Xiaosheng suddenly raised his head and asked, "Zifang, what did you say about 'being killed' just now?" ”

Zhou Zifang saw that Yuan Xiaosheng was serious, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm also hearsay, so I said it casually, don't take it seriously." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng felt that Zhou Zifang had something to say, so he said with a straight face: "Zifang, you won't believe me." Why are you still hiding it from me? ”

Zhou Zifang said: "It's not that I can't trust you, and it's not that I'm hiding it from you." Haven't you heard a word that brings evil out of your mouth? I also think that this kind of thing, you still don't want to know. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng pointed at Zhou Zifang and said: "Just now I said that I am not suitable to be an official, but now I am a staff officer." ”

Zhou Zifang was helpless, so he had to say: "Where can I be a staff officer for you." Okay, okay, I'll just tell you. But I will say the ugly things in advance, and I will say them, and you will listen to them, and they will come out of my mouth and into your ears. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng said impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't let me drag the text." Let's talk about it. ”

Zhou Zifang said this. It turned out that Ma Shuicheng's wife Zhao Honglian, like Zhou Zifang, was also a teacher at Yinan Normal School. Some time ago, Zhao Honglian always looked panicked, and when she met people, she said that something might happen at home. Everyone asked her what was going to happen, but she didn't say anything, everyone thought she was menopausal and nervous, and she didn't take it seriously. No one expected that something really happened to her family, and Ma Shuicheng committed suicide in the office.

On the day she got the news, Zhao Honglian was teaching students in the classroom, as soon as she heard that the man had committed suicide in the office, she collapsed on the podium at once, and the students hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Zhao Honglian was already delirious, her eyes were demented, and she said in her mouth What did you know now, why did you carry the black pot for you, and God still wants to kill people.

The school felt that the matter was very important and immediately reported the situation to the Municipal Education Bureau. It didn't take long for a car from the Neurological Hospital to come and forcibly take Zhao Honglian away.

After Zhou Zifang finished speaking, he said indignantly: "The people in our school know very well that Teacher Zhao was just hit and temporarily delirious, so it is impossible for him to become a psychopath. And it is in the absence of any diagnosis. Why did they forcibly send Mr. Zhao to a neurological hospital? It's not related to Ma Shuicheng's death, and why? ”

Yuan Xiaosheng suddenly fell into contemplation: It seems that the death of this Ma Shuicheng is really not so simple. So who did this Ma Shuicheng offend before he was killed and killed. According to Zhou Zifang's account, Ma Shuicheng's wife Zhao Honglian should be an insider. Otherwise, they would not have been forcibly sent to a psychiatric hospital. Now it seems that the only way to figure out the truth of the whole thing is to start with Ma Shuicheng's wife.

However, this matter has nothing to do with himself, the deputy mayor in charge of the industrial economy, after all, if he inserts a bar, Li Dongquan and Lan Xintian will definitely be unhappy, saying that they are not in the right position and meddling in things, then they will be passive. Of course, if someone reacts to the matter to themselves, and then asks about it, the situation will be different, and they can ask about the relevant situation in a legitimate way.

"Who else is in Ma Shuicheng's family now?" Yuan Xiaosheng asked.

"Ma Shuicheng still has a daughter, and she is now studying in our normal school." After Zhou Zifang finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Xiaosheng suspiciously, and then said, "What, do you want to take care of this?" You still listen to my advice, it's better to leave it alone, it has nothing to do with you anyway, so why bother to wade into this troubled water. I have heard that this matter involves a wide range of areas, and even the leaders of the municipal party committee are involved. Otherwise, why did the city insist that Ma Shuicheng committed suicide and forcibly sent Mr. Zhao to a psychiatric hospital. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng said disapprenousively: "It's not as serious as you think." The municipal party committee has its own considerations, but I think the main concern is that the situation has been exaggerated and will affect the image of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. ”

Zhou Zifang snorted and asked rhetorically: "Do you think the current government still has any image to speak of?" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng said: "You look at the problem, you can't always wear colored glasses. At present, the problem of corruption is indeed quite serious, but I believe that the majority of cadres are still relatively clean. Moreover, the state will definitely come up with a long-term policy to restrain it in the future. ”

Zhou Zifang immediately retorted: "Then when you were in Tiaoshan, why was you investigated?" Are you corrupt too? Since you are not corrupt, what is the purpose of those who investigate you? If you are corrupt, it is natural to investigate your corruption, and if you are not corrupt, it is naturally the corrupt people to investigate you. This is called inversion in logic. ”

Yuan Xiaosheng pointed at Zhou Zifang's nose and said, "What kind of bullshit logic are you." It's simply nonsense. ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and Yuan Xiaosheng sighed: "Now only with you can I speak in this tone, and I feel like I am living in the real world." ”

Zhou Zifang asked, "Then don't you usually live in the real world?" ”

Yuan Xiaosheng sighed and said, "Of course, it is also the real world, but there is another reality, a reality that has been illusory. ”

Zhou Zifang continued to ask: "You mean that officialdom is an illusory reality? ”

Yuan Xiaosheng leaned on the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said, "Relatively speaking, it varies from person to person." For those who are obsessed with it, it is natural to feel that officialdom is a real reality, and a reality that is more realistic than any reality. ”

Zhou Zifang said: "How do I feel that you are always talking now, is it that you have been a leader for a long time, you will have this problem." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng smiled helplessly and said, "Be forced to be helpless." In fact, there will be many realities in our lives, and all those things that can't get over and make us feel irresistible will unconsciously think that they are a reality. Reality is a very emotional word that represents a person's emotions. ”

Zhou Zifang laughed twice and said: "Listening to what you mean, it doesn't look like an official, but a bit of a philosopher." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng waved his hand and said: "What philosophers, officials, and even peddlers and pawns are all human beings." To be human beings is to face reality. Your reality is to teach and educate people, and my reality is ...... Serve the people. ”

When he said this, Yuan Xiaosheng couldn't help but hesitate. At that moment, Yuan Xiaosheng suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't find his direction, and he didn't understand what his responsibilities were. Serving the people, of course, is not wrong, but the concept is too broad, who is not serving the people, including Zhou Zifang, is not also serving the people. So what is your own reality? However, after Zhou Zifang left, Yuan Xiaosheng suddenly felt that at that moment, he was really ridiculous, as if he had suddenly fallen into some kind of trap.

That night, the two of them didn't drink, but Yuan Xiaosheng felt as if he was drunk.

The next day, according to Li Dongquan's wishes, Yuan Xiaosheng took Gu Weiqing and other cadres from the General Office of the Municipal Government to Ma Shuicheng's house. Ma Shuicheng's body was transported to the morgue of the central hospital on the day of Ma Shuicheng's suicide, so Ma Shuicheng's home did not look unusually deserted like the scene after someone else died. After Yuan Xiaosheng and the others knocked on the door, they only saw three old men in their seventies and eighties, and did not see Ma Shuicheng's daughter.

Because there was no prior notice, the three old men felt a little abrupt at the sudden stranger, and stood there for a long time before asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Gu Weiqing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Old man, hello, this is the former deputy mayor of the city, who came to visit you." I hope you don't get too sad. The municipal party committee and government also felt very sad about Comrade Shui Cheng's suicide. I hope you can take care of your health and mourn smoothly. ”

Hearing this, one of the old men cried out with a wow, pulled Yuan Xiaosheng's hand, and his lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.

Yuan Xiaosheng helped the old man's arm and wanted to say two words of comfort, but he didn't know where to start. The biggest tragedy in life is the loss of a child in old age, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person. These three old men should all be Ma Shuicheng's closest relatives. It's easier said than done to get them to accept this reality.

The other old man took two steps forward tremblingly, looked at Yuan Xiaosheng with a sincere face, and said, "Since you are from the government, can I make a request." ”

Yuan Xiaosheng hurriedly said: "Old man, if you have any requirements, just say it, and we will do everything we can to help you achieve it." ”

Before the old man could speak, tears had already rolled down his eyes and said, "I don't have any other requests, I just ask you to release the red lotus." ”

When the words landed, the old man knelt in front of Yuan Xiaosheng with a pop. At that moment, Yuan Xiaosheng was completely shocked and completely sober. The family members of a state cadre are still like this, but what if ordinary people encounter this kind of thing? Is it really going to evolve into a relationship of "people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat"?

Gu Weiqing and several people from the office hurriedly went over, "helped" the old man up, and explained: "Old man, you are mistaken, Comrade Zhao Honglian was not arrested by us, yes, yes, yes...... It was she who couldn't accept Comrade Shui Cheng's suicide, her nerves were stimulated, and she is now being treated in the hospital. I believe it won't be long before you can meet. ”
