Chapter 56: Choice

That night, in another place in Dongzhou City, in a quiet room of the Xianya Tea House, two middle-aged men in their fifties were sitting opposite each other, green smoke curling from the teacups in front of them, and the fragrance was fragrant.

The man on the left has inch hair, there are faint wisps of white between his hair, his red face is resolute like a knife, his eyes are bright, and he is wearing a white shirt and a lilac twill tie, which looks both spiritual and solemn.

The man on the right has a wide face, his long ear-length hair is parted and meticulously combed, his face is stacked with a smile, like a Maitreya Buddha, his mouth is always open, and his slightly narrow eyes seem to be half-narrowed, and sometimes a ray of essence is revealed in it.

On the surface, these two men are quite extraordinary, either successful wealthy businessmen or promising high-ranking officials. In fact, the man on the left is Zeng Yuhua, deputy secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the man on the right is Wei Mingyuan, secretary general of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee.

"Secretary-General Wei, please taste this West Lake Longjing tea before the rain, and see if it can still enter your eyes?" Zeng Yuhua stretched out his hand, and a hearty laugh rang out in the room.

Longjing tea is divided into three types: Shifeng, Longjing, Meiwu, Longjing, West Lake and Longjing due to its different origins. It was born in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. Before the rain, Longjing is a type of West Lake Longjing tea. Refers to the Longjing tea harvested before the rain in the valley.

In the spring tea season, the higher the temperature, the lower the tea quality, and the lower the temperature, the better the quality. At the same time, according to the annual solar terms, before the Qingming Festival, the general temperature is in the season when the low temperature slowly warms up to the high temperature, and after the Qingming Festival, the temperature often rises sharply. Therefore, Qingming is used as a good distinction for Longjing tea.

Longjing tea is called "before the Ming Dynasty" before the Qingming Dynasty, and the one picked before the rain in the valley is called "before the rain". There is a saying that "before the rain is the best grade, before the bright is a treasure". When Longjing tea is brewed, but see the buds and buds stand upright, the soup color is clear, and the fragrance is overflowing, especially the one bud and one leaf commonly known as "one flag and one gun" are the best.

Xu Cishu, a native of Qiantang in the Ming Dynasty who is well versed in the interest of life and loves tea as his life, is the author of the book "Tea Shu", and he and like-minded friends go to the famous Longjing for tea production in his spare time.

Once, he stayed in the monk's house for more than ten days, and he didn't do anything, he only loved to make Longjing tea every day and taste it. He couldn't think about it, and when he left, he reluctantly said: "The monk who really wants to fall into Longhong can be accompanied by tea every day." "

"Hehe, Secretary Zeng, you are too polite. However, this West Lake Longjing before the rain is a rare good tea, and today I want to enjoy it with the light of Secretary Zeng. Wei Mingyuan laughed, picked up the teacup, and saw that the buds in the teacup were standing upright, the soup was clear, and the fragrance was overflowing.

He didn't drink it immediately, but approached and took a deep breath, then raised his head and exhaled slowly, and suddenly felt a sweet breath echoing in his heart, which was very refreshing.

Then he took a shallow sip, and immediately there was a sweet fragrance in his mouth, and there was infinite sweetness on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't help but admire: "Before the rain in the morning cooking valley of chalcedony, spring tea is the freshest." ”

"I didn't expect that Secretary-General Wei also had a study of Longjing, and he was so familiar with Hu Qiao's poems, it seems that today's tea is also an honor to meet a bosom friend like Secretary-General Wei." Zeng Yuhua smiled and joked, but it shortened the distance between the two.

"This is Secretary Zeng knows my heart very well, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy this best dragon well before the rain in the world." Wei Mingyuan immediately replied knowingly.

"The sword is a hero, and the tea is a good one." Zeng Yuhua laughed, and then stretched out his hand to invite Wei Mingyuan to drink tea, and at the same time, he himself picked up the teacup and slowly rotated it a few times, and then took a sip lightly and nodded with satisfaction.

"Secretary Zeng, speaking of which, you are still my leader. It has been almost a year since Secretary Zeng came to our Dongzhou, although we are all in the compound of the municipal party committee, but it is the first time that we have sat together drinking tea and chatting like this. Wei Mingyuan sighed.

"Secretary-General Wei is the big housekeeper of the Municipal Party Committee compound, and he is busy with affairs, where is he as idle as me, just drinking tea and reading the newspaper all day long." Zeng Yuhua said as if laughing at himself.

"Oh, Secretary Zeng is too modest, your ability is obvious to all in the entire municipal party committee compound, and you have a good grasp of the work of the party and the masses, which even Secretary Wu has praised many times, and it is worth learning from." Wei Mingyuan hurriedly shook his head and retorted, the flesh on his face trembling.

"Mingyuan is too famous. But today I asked you out because the little girl went to sea with your son-in-law and other friends. I believe that Secretary General Wei already knows about the breakdown of the children's cruise ship, right? After drinking tea for a while, Zeng Yuhua took the initiative to mention the purpose of today's appointment with Wei Mingyuan.

"Yes, Jiacheng has already called me, they are now on a fishing boat called the Golden Pearl, and there should be no problem with safety." Speaking of this, Wei Mingyuan's expression also became serious.

"Then, Mingyuan, do you know that there are six of them who went to sea, but now there are only five people who are safe, and Hu Qingyan, the daughter of Hu Yong, the director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau, is missing." Zeng Yuhua is just as serious.

"Xiao'er also mentioned this matter, but he didn't know the specific situation, only that it seemed to have something to do with Ling's son-in-law." Wei Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and said.

"Mingyuan, you don't know yet, the little girl called back and told me that Hu Qingyan's disappearance is indeed related to Zhu Zicai and Liu Bin, and there is no relationship between her and Zhu Zicai, so I am ready to dissolve the marriage contract for her when I come back this time." Zeng Yuhua sighed and said.

Wei Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he knew that this was a big deal. Not long ago, when Zeng Yuhua's daughter was engaged to Zhu Haifeng's son, it was quite a sensation for Dongzhou officialdom, because it meant that the No. 3 and No. 4 people in Dongzhou City joined forces.

In addition to the secretary of the Dongzhou Municipal Party Committee and the mayor of Dongzhou, Han Wanzhong, the third force group headed by Zeng Yuhua and Zhu Haifeng was formed, and at the same time, a three-legged situation of Dongzhou officialdom was formed.

And now Zeng Yuhua said this, which obviously means that the situation of him and Zhu Haifeng joining forces will be broken, and even the two will definitely turn against each other because of this, which will have an equally huge impact on Dongzhou officialdom, and it will also bury Zeng Yuhua's hard work in these days, so it is no wonder that he sighs.

And Wei Mingyuan also knew the reason why Zeng Yuhua did this, because he also received a call from his son, and knew that Hu Qingyan's disappearance might be related to Zhu Haifeng's son, so Zeng Yuhua's daughter's dissolution of the marriage contract was also a normal act of a father.

It's just that although Zeng Yuhua said this, before the incident happened, Wei Mingyuan still didn't have the opportunity to say anything, after all, they are still in a joint relationship, who knows how things will develop in the future, so he thought about it and said: "Secretary Zeng, you should seriously consider such a big thing." ”

"Don't think about it, compared to the happiness of my daughter, what do I gain by personal gains and losses. Mingyuan, look at when Secretary Wu has time, I want to report to him. Zeng Yuhua shook his head and looked at Wei Mingyuan calmly.

Wei Mingyuan's heart was shocked, he knew what Zeng Yuhua meant, this was to put down his face and take refuge in the secretary of the municipal party committee, thinking that he would do this for his daughter, Wei Mingyuan sighed and admired, and quickly nodded and said: "Secretary Wu will have half an hour to spare after the Standing Committee meeting tomorrow morning." ”

"Okay, just trouble Mingyuan, you mention this matter to the secretary first, I will go over to report to him after the meeting tomorrow, the work of the party and the masses in Dongzhou City is inseparable from his top control." Zeng Yuhua said with a natural expression.

"Secretary Zeng, don't worry, I will definitely bring this." Wei Mingyuan hurriedly said that he believed that if Zeng Yuhua wanted to take refuge, he would definitely value it very much, after all, he was the No. 3 person in Dongzhou City, and his status was far above him.

"That's good. However, if Director Hu's daughter cannot be found, the murderer must be severely punished, and no one who commits a crime must go unpunished. Zeng Yuhua said casually.

"Secretary Zeng rest assured, if Xiao'er knows something, I will let him tell the truth when the time comes." Wei Mingyuan understood what Zeng Yuhua meant, and immediately replied, and also expressed his intentions.

At the same time, Lin Fan was on the Golden Pearl, barbecuing with Zeng Xiaotong and others, he found that he had fallen in love with barbecue now, and the grilled seafood tasted quite good, at least Wang Biao and Zhou Xiaolin, including Wang Yuyan and Hong Yan, as well as Wei Jiacheng and Gao Xiao, would rush to eat.

That's because when he barbecued, he secretly used the mysterious energy of his own cultivation and injected the mysterious energy into the flames, and the baked things tasted wonderful, in fact, because it contained the cosmic energy of the origin, which could transform people's bodies, so they liked to eat it so much.

"Report to the captain that Hu Qingyan's body has been searched by the coast guard ship. It was very strange that her body was on the edge of the desert island where she was killed, and was not destroyed by the sea beasts. When we arrived, the coast guard had already recovered his body, so we didn't do anything but film the scene of the salvage. ”

Just as he was resting, the flying machine he sent out to investigate Hu Qingyan's body came back and brought back good news. This made Lin Fan ponder, since the coast guard had found Hu Qingyan's body, it should be easier to investigate. >
