On 10 November 1978, the Central Committee convened a work conference. The question of the criterion of truth has become a hot topic. In light of reality, more than 200 participants expounded on the correct and important viewpoint that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, and criticized the propaganda guidelines put forward by the central authorities. Taking practice as the criterion, the participants discussed some major cases and the merits and demerits of some leaders during and before the Great Revolution, and resolved many major issues concerning the fate of the party and the state.

In fact, this work meeting is a preparation for the upcoming Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee. In Liu Jun's memory, the Third Plenum of the 11th Central Committee will be held in mid-December.

People who do not need the foresight of the reborn, and those who have a little political common sense can also understand that after the convening of the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee, the central government's policy will be readjusted.

According to the usual practice, major policy adjustments are naturally accompanied by major personnel adjustments. Naturally, this personnel adjustment gradually spread from top to bottom. Every bigwig is in the position, and there is no doubt that he must be equipped with a team that he can trust and use easily. Therefore, when the work conference was convened, the principal leaders of the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as the top leaders of the armed forces, were paying close attention to the changes in the form and quietly making arrangements to deal with them.

Before the high-level personnel changes were clear, these tasks were carried out quietly. The county-level political institutions are not yet felt, but at the district level, there is already a slight abnormality. The main leaders of the Baozhou area have gone to the provincial capital more frequently. The principal responsible persons of the units directly under the region and the counties and cities are also confused in their hearts.

At this delicate moment of undercurrent, such a report letter came out, and its intentions can be imagined.

Because it involved Liu Jincai, the first deputy director of the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee and a well-known name in the province, the leaders of the Baozhou region attached great importance to this report, and personnel from the Organization Department of the Regional Revolutionary Committee, the Mass Work Department, the Regional Public Security Department, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Finance and Taxation Bureau, and other units formed a joint investigation team and stationed them in Xiangyang County to conduct an open investigation. The leader of the investigation team is Tan Liyang, deputy director of the regional mass work department.

It is said that if a brigade has set up a brick-making factory, no matter how big the problem is, it will not be possible for the labor area to send such a high-standard investigation team. According to the procedure, the Xiangyang County Revolutionary Committee should first conduct its own investigation and then report the results of an investigation to the district.

The dispatch of this investigation team was obviously aimed at Liu Jincai.

For this reason, Yan Yucheng was very angry, and made a special trip to the region to find Director Long Tiejun.

Director Long, a leading cadre with a strong principled surname, immediately put on a straight face, criticized Yan Yucheng for being unorganized and undisciplined, and criticized the normal work of the higher-level leading departments.

Yan Yucheng was taken aback, and his heart was very angry, although he would not confront his superiors on the spot, his face was as ugly as he was, and his words were a little rushed: "Director Long, Comrade Liu Jincai definitely did not participate in it, this comrade was trained by the army, as a leading cadre, or not mature enough, but there is absolutely no problem with the party surname and character, and I, Yan Yucheng, dare to use the party membership as a guarantee." ”

"Comrade Yan Yucheng, your attitude is very unacceptable. Whether Comrade Liu Jincai has any problems or not is not up to you and me, but should be decided by the facts. The dispatch of investigation teams in the region is also in line with the attitude of being responsible to the comrades. You have to trust the comrades of the investigation team, they will definitely be impartial and make a fair conclusion based on facts. ”

Director Long said majestically.

This is a high-sounding statement, and it does not leak. Yan Yucheng opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Long Tiejun looked at this upright subordinate, his eyes narrowed slightly, he softened his tone, and said lightly: "Yucheng, you have to believe in the organization, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." Comrade Liu Jincai really has no problem, and the region will never wronged him. ”

Yan Yucheng sighed and said, "Director Long, I have a bad attitude, so I will review it from you." I'm anxious, the work in Xiangyang County has just been rolled out, and before I see any improvement, these guys with ulterior motives are complaining everywhere and disrupting the normal work of the county......

Long Tiejun nodded slightly, and a subtle look of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Yucheng, I understand your feelings, don't rush everything. Comrade Tan Liyang, the leader of the investigation team, is a comrade who dares to uphold principles. ”

Hearing this, Yan Yucheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that today's trip was not in vain.

Silently shaking hands with Long Tiejun, Yan Yucheng turned around and went out.

"Tell Comrade Liu Jincai that he is not afraid of crooked shadows, and cooperate with the comrades of the investigation team."

Yan Yucheng was almost humming the jeep on the tune, the secretary Xiao Zhixiong and the driver Xiao Xu Hun didn't expect Director Yan's mood to change so quickly, and when he went out in the morning, he looked like he was going to eat people at any time.

Liu Jun was half a beat slow to get the news, and it was Jiang Youxin who told him.

Jiang Youxin was slightly nervous, he basically knew about the brick factory. Of course, I don't know the specific process of cooking.

The muscles in the corners of Liu Jun's eyes twitched a few times, and he said lightly, "Thank you, Brother Jiang." It's okay, let them check. ”

It's not that Liu Jun's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, it is really prepared. With Wu Bo and Liu Zhaoyu, the accounts are clear. The business procedures handled by the brigade are also quite complete.

There are more than 800 people in Liujiashan, and they dare not say that they are completely monolithic, and when the investigation team is investigating, it is difficult to avoid a few people saying things with ulterior motives to the investigation team. However, the real inside story is only known to Liu Jinwen, Liu Zhaoyu and Captain Ruan Chengsheng. Ruan Chengsheng is Ruan Bixiu's cousin, and after the brick factory started, his share of benefits naturally did not drop. If you have to talk about the lineage, these three are the lineage of Liu Jincai's lineage, and they are the most stable people. The investigation team wanted to take something out of their mouths, but it was difficult!

The most important thing is that they do not have the status of national cadres, and the secretary of the brigade and the captain of the brigade are essentially members of the club who earn work. If you don't ask for anything, you have nothing to fear, so what can the investigation team do?

Sending Jiang Youxin away, Liu Jun stood in place and thought about it, turned around and walked out of the county revolutionary committee, and took the shuttle bus to Liujiashan.

Liu Jinwen heard Liu Jun tell him about the general situation, and he was so angry that he dropped the teacup.

"What do they want to do? Seeing that we farmers can have a full meal, my heart is panicking? Mother sells x, let me know who did it, Lao Tzu chops off his dog's head to make a night pot! ”

This is really Jiang Gui's surname, old and spicy.

Ruan Chengsheng and Liu Zhaoyu are both calm surnames. This matter is mainly Liu Zhaoyu who is specifically responsible, and Ruan Chengsheng looked at him. Liu Zhaoyu nodded and said to Liu Jinwen: "Dad, don't be so angry." It's not cost-effective to get angry. ”

Liu Jinwen was still angry: "Where are the people from the investigation team?" I'm going to go to them. ”

"I'm still in the county. It is estimated that he will have to communicate with Yan Yucheng before he can go down to the commune to investigate. ”

Liu Jun took a sip of the teacup and said steadily.

Ruan Chengsheng asked, "Xiaojun, what did your father say about this?" ”

Liu Jun smiled and spread his hands: "He didn't say anything." He didn't know about it at all. ”

When he said this, no one believed it.

Liu Jinwen said suspiciously: "Jincai really doesn't know? ”

Liu Jun said innocently: "Fifth uncle, when did I coax you?" Let me tell you the truth, this matter was made up by a friend of me and the county agricultural machinery factory. I made the design drawings of the brick making machine that he made. From beginning to end, my dad had no idea. ”

"Okay, Xiaojun, I've been doubting that this capitalist is really you."

Liu Zhaoyu pointed at Liu Jun's nose, surprised and envious.

"Brother Zhaoyu, that's too ugly, isn't it? What capitalist is not a capitalist? We are mutually beneficial and happy to cooperate. The Liujiashan Brigade has earned wages both publicly and privately, and we have worked hard, and it is a drawing, a machine, and a contact market, so it should be a little good, right? ”

Ruan Chengsheng smiled: "That's right." Beat me, I'll come, scold me, I'll come, and if you lose it, I won't come again. Who doesn't want to do something good? ”

Ruan Chengsheng smiled, and the atmosphere was not so tense. The key point is that they have figured out the ins and outs of this matter, and they feel that it is not a big deal, and the enterprises run by the brigade can only be regarded as collective enterprises, and they have not asked the public to pay a penny, and the bricks burned are sold to thermal power plants, which can be regarded as adding bricks and tiles to socialist construction, and the crime of embezzlement cannot be settled in any case. The members of the Liujiashan Brigade work for the brick factory, and they all count the work points, everything is decent, and the big hat of taking the capitalist road is not easy to deduct at will.

The only thing that's a bit problematic is the system, which is mixed with some private equity participation. The blame can only be blamed on the general environment at that time, which was too strict and too dead to grasp the private economy.

Liu Jinwen squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "That's how it is." It is a brigade of enterprises, make the accounts clearer, and the money given to Xiaojun should be regarded as the money for buying a brick machine. People are willing to give two brick-making machines to the brigade on credit, which is to support rural production and construction. Could it be that it is wrong to be a good person and a good deed? ”

Yoo Jun smiled and took out three envelopes and handed them to them.

Liu Zhaoyu was young after all, and he was a little anxious, so he pinched it with his hand, it was a little thick, and he immediately smiled.

"Fifth uncle, seventh uncle, Brother Zhaoyu, please. I can't tell my dad about this, I'm afraid he'll be worried. ”

The three additional envelopes are hush money. Consistent with the outside world. This is true for the investigation team, and it is also true for Liu Jincai. If he knew that his son was involved, he would definitely have a pimple in his heart, and maybe he would strictly control Liu Jun in the future, but it would be miserable.

Such a risk cannot be taken.

Who knew that this action was still a little late. Liu Jun was in a good mood, humming a minor tune and returning to the county revolutionary committee, as soon as he stepped into the house, his heart chuckled and sank.

In the living room, Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai were sitting precariously, looking like they had to get things done today. What's worse is that the eyes of these two are looking directly at Liu Jun, and it is expected that the object to be dealt with is Liu Yanei.

Fortunately, although Director Yan and Director Liu are one of the most ruthless characters in Xiangyang County, Liu Yanei is reincarnated as a human being, and his experience of rolling in the rivers and lakes for decades is not in vain. He immediately smiled and greeted the two directors politely, without a trace.

"Jun, sit down."

Liu Jincai grimaced and pointed to the bamboo chair in front of him.

"Dad, Uncle Yan, what's the matter, so serious? I didn't do anything bad. ”

Yoo Jun sat down with a smile, gagging to liven up the atmosphere.

"Humph!"

One of them snorted heavily. Unexpectedly, it was Yan Yucheng instead of Liu Jincai who made the "hum". It seems that Director Yan really doesn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"You honestly confess, did you make up the matter of Liujiashan Brick Factory?"

"It's not. It has nothing to do with me. ”

Liu Jun shook his head resolutely.

"Don't pretend to be confused with me. If you don't get this thing right, your dad will be very passive. ”

Yan Yucheng's tone was stern.

Liu Jun smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Yan, you don't have to scare me. I know a little bit about the ins and outs of this matter. In my opinion, it is the investigation team that is passive, and it is the villains who have nothing to do. ”

Yan Yucheng didn't laugh angrily: "Oh? Tell me, why is it the other people's investigation team that is passive? ”

"Hmph, with an anonymous letter, the Local Revolutionary Committee made a big move and sent a huge investigation team, which was too hasty. Why did Liujiashan build a brick factory, and it must be my father's head and tail behind it? So if this brick factory was opened in Guzhen Commune, was it instigated by Wang Benqing? If you want to open in Dutou Town, then you Director Yan can't get out of it? ”

Wang Benqing's hometown is Guzhen Commune, while Yan Yucheng's hometown is from Dutou Town.

These words were sharp, and Yan Yucheng was choked immediately.

Seeing this, Liu Jin patted the table: "How can you talk to Uncle Yan?" No big, no small! ”

Liu Jun smiled: "I'm sorry, Uncle Yan, I don't want to say this to you, I should talk to the minister of the investigation team." ”

Yan Yucheng snorted again: "It's good if you know." ”

"Oh, Uncle Yan, you shouldn't have come to my house at this critical time. If I let the investigation team know, I would think that you and my dad had formed an offensive and defensive alliance. ”

Yan Yucheng and Liu Jincai stared wide-eyed, crying and laughing.

A few words made the two aggressive directors lose their temper, and when the goal was achieved, Liu Jun accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let them check, it's absolutely no problem." ”

Yan Yucheng frowned and said, "Don't you know the ins and outs of the whole thing, let's hear it." ”;
