Chapter 31: Let Cheng try

As soon as he got to work on Tuesday, Zhou Liang sat in a chair in a daze, puzzled by the news he heard.

After getting off work yesterday, Zhou Liang received a phone call, saying that the county public security bureau seemed to have caught a person, a person related to the Ma Yishan fraud case. What he was wondering about was not the fact that someone was arrested itself, but whether the temporary disappearance of Li Xiaohe and Qiao Manchu was related to this matter.

In the previous time, Zhou Liang got accurate information, and last Friday night, Li Xiaohe drove and left the township with Qiao Manchu and his wife. Don't look at the gossip about the relationship between men and women when he and Zhao Qiang talked about it, but he didn't think so in his heart, but he was just puzzled about them leaving together. Yesterday morning, Li Xiaohe returned to the unit, and in the morning he received a report that Qiao Manchu and his wife had returned to the village, and in the afternoon he learned the news of the arrest by the Public Security Bureau. But Zhou Liang still wondered, what was the connection between them and the arrest of people, why did they arrest people? Who was the person who was arrested?

"Ding Woo", the phone rang suddenly, interrupting Zhou Liang's thoughts. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the caller ID, picked up the phone receiver, and said "hey".

A male voice came from the earpiece: "Director, my eyes are very uncomfortable, go to the county hospital for a check-up, and ask you for a leave." ”

Zhou Liang let out an "oh": "Eyes are uncomfortable? How? When was this? ”

"I was in pain when I got off work yesterday, and I didn't feel like I touched my eyes, but it hurt even more this morning." The voice in the earpiece had a painful tone.

"Okay then." After a pause, Zhou Liang added, "How many days do you have to go?" You're not here, the car should be ......."

The other party's voice was very anxious: "Director, I put the car keys in the drawer, you see who will take the top shift first." The sound stopped abruptly.

Buckled the earpiece to the phone, Zhou Liang was somewhat puzzled. In the past, Liu Feng had always obeyed Du Yingcai's orders, and after Du Yingcai left, Liu Feng reported everything to Jia Xianglan. Reimbursement bills and other matters, Liu Feng also asked Jia Xianglan for review, and then asked the township chief for approval, never went through himself, the director of the party and government office, and asked for leave to greet Jia Xianglan. For a long time, Liu Feng can reflect that he has something to do with him, that is, he always waits in the party and government office when he doesn't get out of the car, and he can also obey the arrangement of going out for the new township mayor.

What's going on today? Is the sun coming out of the west? Asking for leave from yourself? After thinking about it, Zhou Liang immediately understood that Liu Feng's greeting to him today was not a respect for himself, but a fear of Li Xiaohe.

Li Xiaohe came to the township as a "broken household", Qiao Cheng in the county has been eyeing him, and his colleagues are also afraid to avoid it, which can be described as dangerous. But Li Xiaohe used trickery to force Jia Xianglan to hand over important work for more than a month, and also wooed Qin Mingsheng and Ge Shujun, and he had a close relationship with Barrister Song Sheng. How is this not frightening? In recent days, when dealing with Li Xiaohe, he, the director of the party and government office, has to be more careful. Liu Feng's master walked away, lost his position, he didn't dare to be a slave, how dare he still ask Jia Xianglan for leave?

Damn, now that I think of Lao Tzu, what the hell did you do? Zhou Liang scolded in his heart.

"Director, we're back." The door opened, and a girl's voice rang out.

"Oh", Zhou Liang cut off his thoughts and returned to reality. He saw that Yang Xiaomin entered the house, followed by Cheng Jianfeng, who had not been in the township for a long time. Only then did he remember that he had just asked Cheng Jianfeng to drive a 212 car and pulled Yang Xiaomin to recharge the fuel card.

Seeing Cheng Jianfeng, Zhou Liang thought of one more thing.

"Ding Bang Bang", the landline phone on the desk rang again.

Seeing the caller ID above, Zhou Liang immediately picked up the phone receiver, and his voice was extremely respectful: "Township Chief, are you looking for me?" ”

"I'll go out." In the earpiece was Li Xiaohe's voice.

"Okay, I'll let ...... right away Township Chief, there is such a ......" Halfway through the conversation, Zhou Liang stopped, because there was already a rapid "beep" sound in the earpiece, and the other party had already hung up.

After a pause, Zhou Liang immediately pressed the receiver to the phone and walked out of the room quickly.

Looking at Director Zhou's anxious roar, Yang Xiaomin smiled "poof", although she didn't say anything, but a few words were clearly written in that smile: Let the wolf catch up?

……

Zhou Liang trotted out of the house, rushed to the middle aisle, and just arrived at the front aisle, a person walked towards him, and the two almost collided together.

Seeing the person coming clearly, Zhou Liang hurriedly apologized: "Township Chief, I'm sorry, I ......"

It was the township mayor Li Xiaohe who came to meet him, and Li Xiaohe said suspiciously: "Director Zhou, what is the important matter, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

"Township chief, Liu Feng is not in the unit." Zhou Liang said busily.

Li Xiaohe frowned slightly: "What's the situation?" Off duty? ”

Zhou Liang explained: "No, no, he just called, saying that his eyes were uncomfortable last night, and the pain was even worse today, so he went to the county hospital for an examination in the morning." Speaking of this, Zhou Liang hesitated, "Township Chief, you want to go out now, aren't you ......?"

"Don't spit out, what's it? Let me drive it myself, or do you drive it? Li Xiaohe's tone was very impulsive.

"The township chief is busy with official business, how can you be distracted by driving? My skills are even worse, my eyes are poor, and I can still go around the neighborhood, but it will not work if I go to the county seat or go to the countryside. Zhou Liang discussed, "Do you want the newcomer Xiao Cheng to try it temporarily?" ”

Li Xiaohe's face was cold, and he didn't speak, but stared at the other party tightly.

Seeing that the township chief was not good-looking, Zhou Liang explained: "Although Cheng Jianfeng has not been here for a long time and is very young, I have sat in the 212 he drove and I feel very stable. When Xiao Cheng was in the army, he took a driver's license and drove a car for the chief. ”

Li Xiaohe groaned for a while, said "um", and walked forward.

After a while, Zhou Liang said to Li Xiaohe, "Township Chief, wait a minute", and quickly ran back to the party and government office.

Entering the room, Zhou Liang came directly to the desk that Liu Feng usually used, opened the drawer, and took out a bunch of keys from it. Then he said to Cheng Jianfeng: "Xiao Cheng, this is the key to the Hyundai car." Liu Feng is not here today, you can temporarily drive the modern era and go out with the township chief. ”

Cheng Jianfeng took two steps forward and stretched out his hand: "Yes." ”

Zhou Liang withdrew his hand with the key and instructed: "Although today is a temporary shift, you must also do your best to complete the task safely." ”

"Yes." Cheng Jianfeng replied with one more word.

Zhou Liang continued to instruct: "In addition, although you have driven a car in the army before and have several years of driving experience, the performance of the car is also different between the place and the army. This modern car, you are driving for the first time, must ......"

"Director Zhou, it's not okay yet?" Li Xiaohe's urging voice sounded outside the door.

"Horse, right away." Zhou Liang hurriedly responded in a loud voice, handed over the key, and whispered, "Drive cautiously and travel safely." ”

"Yes." Cheng Jianfeng took the key, turned around and walked out of the house.

After a while, Zhou Liang stepped out of the house quickly, waved his hand at the Hyundai car that had been started, and muttered "safe driving".

The people in the Hyundai car did not respond to Zhou Liang's instructions, and the car had already passed through the gate and drove out of the yard.

Looking at the dust rising from the place where the car passed, Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief, but then he felt a trace of depression, which came from Li Xiaohe.

In the past, Du Ying had Qiao Cheng's support, and he was always calling and drinking for himself, the director of the party and government office, without due respect at all, just like calling a young man who had just gone to work. Although he was unhappy, Zhou Liang dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so he could only wait carefully. Thinking about his master Zhao Qiang, as the secretary of the township party committee, he still has to let Du Yingcai a little, Zhou Liang's heart is somewhat balanced, but he still can't help but be depressed, looking forward to the surname Du leaving the township as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the surname Du left, and he was in tune with Li Xiaohe. When he first heard the news, Zhou Liang couldn't help but be happy, and suddenly felt that the harsh winter was getting warmer and the spring was warmer, and even fantasized about his daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, thinking that this was very good news. He knew that the new township chief was a helpless "broken household", and he would definitely have to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he would definitely not dare to be high-profile, and he would definitely not dare to oppress himself. Therefore, for Li Xiaohe, the township chief, Zhou Liang didn't look at it in his heart, and even sneered at it a little. It's just that he has many years of experience in grassroots officialdom, Zhou Liang didn't do things perfectly, he not only maintained his relative independence, but he also counted Li Xiaohe in general.

But the development of things exceeded Zhou Liang's expectations, this Li Xiaohe did not have the decadence of "the phoenix is not as good as a chicken" at all, but had the momentum of a cockfight. This made Zhou Liang feel a certain danger, worried that he was still an angry "little daughter-in-law", so he bewitched Zhao Qiang from time to time to suppress the other party. But looking at Zhao Qiang's attitude, it seems that he is not ready to compete with the surname Li, and it is reasonable to think about it, it has always been 'shoes wearers are afraid of bare feet'.

As Li Xiaohe counterattacked Jia Xianglan's provocations several times, especially using a little trick to force the other party to hand over the industry and investment promotion in charge, Zhou Liang became jealous of Li Xiaohe. Coupled with a few events in recent days, the jealousy in Zhou's conscience is turning into fear, and he can't help but be afraid.

"Hey." Zhou Liang couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that his fate was not good.

"Director, phone." Yang Xiaomin's voice came out.

"Phone? Good. Zhou Liang agreed and entered the house.

……

Hyundai arrived at the edge of Siyuan County, did not enter the city, but turned to a fork in the road on the right.

On the way out of the township, there are asphalt roads, small sections of gravel roads, flat roads and slope roads. Even on the asphalt road, there are potholes of various sizes from time to time, but modern cars have cleverly avoided them. Li Xiaohe not only didn't feel the bumps, but also almost didn't feel the shaking of the body, it was always so smooth. It seems that the drivers who are exercising in the army are really very qualified.

The car slowly turned and stopped in front of a courtyard with a closed gate.

Cheng Jianfeng quickly opened the door and got out of the car, ran to the other side, and opened the right rear door.

Li Xiaohe stepped out of the car, turned around and smiled at Cheng Jianfeng, and nodded.
