The air in Heyang tightened again, because Qiao Guodong was suspected of coercing and intimidating Lao Kui, and was directly responsible for Lao Kui's death, Qiang Wei had to make a special trip to the provincial capital to make a special report to Deputy Secretary Qi. He was accompanied by Xu Shouren, director of the Public Security Bureau.

On the way, Qiangwei asked Xu Shouren again: "Could it be mistaken, the cup was really taken by Lao Qiao?" ”

"This can't be wrong, I asked Tiger and Xiao Zhang again and again, and they said that Director Qiao talked to Lao Kui for less than twenty minutes, and Director Qiao shouted for them to pour water for Lao Kui. After Xiao Zhang brought the cup and thermos in, Director Qiao sent him away, and the water was poured by Director Qiao himself. ”

"Take one or two?"

"One, Director Qiao brings his own cup."

"Why don't you check it after you finish talking? You don't have any common sense? Qiang Wei couldn't help but use a critical tone again. For Xu Shouren, Qiang Wei's opinion was not a day or two, he was a little unhappy when he was mentioned as the director of the Public Security Bureau, but then he was balanced and put him in the position of number one. Over the years, Xu Shouren has not said that he has not done a job, but that the problems always outweigh the achievements, and the public security system is always unsatisfactory. At several meetings, he wanted to take him down, but helplessly, Xu Shouren's background was complicated, and he touched it several times, but he didn't find out the bottom of this person. Even Yu Shuhong has said good things for him more than once.

But in his heart, Qiangwei just doesn't like this person!

The relationship between people is so weird. After all the storms passed, Qiang Wei understood that it was not that Xu Shouren really had anything that he hated, but because of two words: relationship. Xu Shouren's deputy director was originally promoted by Old Man Song, and it was this that made him have a deep-rooted prejudice against Xu Shouren!

It is precisely because of his prejudice that Xu Shouren, the director, is even more difficult!

How terrible!

Prejudice is a thing that can not only obscure a person's eyes from judging things, but also lead people's thoughts astray.

"Didn't I say that! Because it was Director Qiao who talked to Lao Kui, they didn't dare to act according to the rules. Xu Shouren was probably anxious by Qiang Wei's question, and said this irritably.

Qiang Wei was swept away by him, the feeling in his heart, how awkward it was, but it was not easy to attack. The two of them didn't talk all the way, and when they arrived at the Yinzhou Hotel and saw Qi Moran, Xu Shouren's words increased, and no matter how angry Qi Moran was, he still insisted on reporting the situation.

At this moment, Qiang Wei was a little grateful to Xu Shouren, if he hadn't come with him, he really didn't know how to open his mouth for this report.

Qi Moran was angry enough, and he couldn't scold anything new, calmed down for a while, and instructed: "You go to the Provincial People's Congress immediately, this matter is not trivial, and the place that should be reported must be reported." Also, what to do next, listen to the opinions of the provincial department, if you have time today, you also go to the provincial public security department", I don't want to say much about business matters, or follow the opinions of the provincial department. Comrade Guodong did this kind of thing, I am very sad, but I am sad that I can't solve the problem, the provincial party committee held a meeting to do a special study on the problem of Heyang, before the provincial party committee makes a decision, Heyang can't be chaotic, it's messy, you are strong and responsible for me!

Qiang Wei could only nod, and seeing that Qi Moran had the intention of sending off guests, he stood up first: "Secretary Qi, let's go to the Provincial People's Congress, I must keep in mind your instructions." ”

"Don't tell me these useless words!"

Waiting for the National People's Congress, the public security, the political and legal committee, etc. to report all the way, a day passed, and before dinner was eaten, Heyang called to urge, saying that there was a fire in the house, and the old man Song found the municipal party committee and asked the municipal party committee to severely punish the murderer and give Lao Kui's family an explanation.

As soon as he heard that Old Man Song was about to jump out, Qiang Wei's head "boomed" and became bigger.

Dinner was eaten at home, and the last time he came, he didn't care about going home, of course, it was also related to his mood. When he is in a good mood, Qiang Wei loves to eat at home, and when he is in a bad mood, he doesn't even want to go home, for fear of affecting his wife and children. This time he was in the same bad mood, but he didn't want to eat with Xu Shouren. Xu Shouren wanted to eat shabu mutton, Qiang Weixin said, when is this time, and do you still have the heart to find shame? He threw down Xu Shouren and went home. Unfortunately, on this day, his wife Hu Mei was also angry, Hu Mei's old father was sick, her brother and sister-in-law didn't care, and the old man lived alone. Qiang Wei asked her to take her father-in-law here, but Hu Mei was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law would completely leave it alone, so she hesitated and didn't take it. It doesn't matter if you don't pick it up, you just go to take care of it often, anyway, Hu Mei doesn't have much to do. Who knew that this incident would bring a series of disharmony to their family, and there would be conflicts at both ends in three days. Until now, Qiang Wei doesn't feel that it is a contradiction.

When Qiang Wei returned home, Hu Mei didn't ask him when he went to the provincial capital and what he was doing in the provincial capital. As usual, as soon as they met, she began to nag, saying bad things about her brother and sister-in-law, scolding her sister-in-law for not being a thing, a typical vixen, and instigating her brother not to do anything. After scolding her sister-in-law, she then scolded her brother, and the more she scolded, the more energetic she became. Qiang Wei endured it at first and didn't say anything, but then the meal was brought to the table, Hu Mei was still scolding, Qiang Wei couldn't help it, and said: "Can you say a few words, I won't come back easily, as soon as I come back, I have to listen to what you say." ”

"You don't come back, blame me, I won't let you come back?" Hu Mei turned her head to Qiang Wei, chattered a few words, and said, "It's not your family's business, of course you don't bother to listen." ”

"Let's eat, I'll accompany you to see the old man after eating." Qiang Wei held back the fire and persuaded with a sneer.

"Don't be pretending, what do you think in your heart, when I don't know?"

"What do you think?" Qiang Wei put down his chopsticks and stared at Hu Mei.

"You are all like birds, I wish he died early!" Hu Mei was indignant, as if she was angry with Qiangwei for her.

"I said, what's the matter with you, what do you do with your family?"

"Our family's business? Okay, you finally told the truth, no wonder you avoided Heyang and didn't come back once in a few months, it turns out that you think I have a lot of family affairs. ”

With such a wife, what else can Qiang Wei say. "Vexatious!" He spat hatefully.

Hu Mei became more and more disobedient: "Am I unreasonable? The old and the young are all thrown at me, you guys are good, one by one, they are like no one, hiding in the shelter to try to be comfortable, and they say that I am unreasonable. Hu Mei also has Hu Mei's grievances, she has been with her father too hard these days, so she is waiting for Qiang Wei to come back and vent well.

"Who avoided it, I'm not busy with work." Qiang Wei wanted to explain patiently, and he also wanted to be kind to Hu Mei, but what he said made people not feel a little kind.

"Don't take your job to oppress people, you have a job, I don't, I rely on you to support you?" The more Hu Mei said, the more outrageous it became, and the more she talked, the closer it was to being vexatious. Hu Mei was the first middle school teacher in Jiayuguan, the first pass in the world, and later Qiang Wei went to Changping as the mayor, and the province took into account the specific situation and transferred Hu Mei to the provincial capital, and her family also moved into the provincial capital. Hu Mei worked very hard in Yinzhou No. 13 Middle School at the beginning, but later fell out with the school because of her professional title, and clamored to leave No. 13 Middle School and go to No. 2 Middle School of Key Middle School. Hu Mei has a low diploma, only two years of normal school, teaching primary school is okay, teaching middle school, hard work. Qiang Wei gave her a job, but she didn't listen, so she had to enter the second middle school. There was no way, Qiang Weituo transferred her to the second middle school, and as a result, the contradiction arose. Not to mention her own struggle, her students' grades plummeted. After the school solicited Qiang Wei's opinion, she was transferred to logistics, but Hu Mei not only did not appreciate it, but also said that Qiang Wei was using power to squeeze her and prevent her from achieving anything. Qiang Wei was so angry that he really wanted to get her to Jiayuguan again. Logistics is in school, which is equivalent to an idle corner, Hu Mei has a sense of loss because of this, and Qiang Wei rarely goes home, so she thinks that Qiang Wei must have someone else in his heart and wants to get rid of her. Later, she really found out about Qiang Wei, such as people often call him late at night after returning home, and there are often some inexplicable text messages on the mobile phone. The most annoying thing is that two years ago, Qiang Wei personally went to the provincial capital and asked Zhou Cang, who was called "a flower" in the education circles, to Heyang and be his assistant. Hu Mei decided that Qiang Wei and Zhou Zhou were embarrassed and unclean.

Hu Mei is still nagging, Qiang Wei is not just annoying in his heart, he has everything. He threw down his chopsticks, blackened his face and said, "Is this rice still eaten?" ”

"I love to eat, I don't like to eat and pull down! Anyway, there are people to accompany you every day to eat fragrant and drink spicy food. Of course you don't have an appetite for the food I cooked. ”

"Hu Mei, you're endless, kicking your nose and face, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? You did something unseemly yourself, and you asked me what I wanted to do? When Hu Mei heard Qiang Wei raise his voice, she didn't show weakness, she stood up, crossed her waist, and put on a posture of fighting with Qiang Wei.

Let's stop eating this meal. Qiang Wei sighed in frustration as he packed up his things and prepared to go out. When Hu Mei saw this, she cried suddenly: "The surname is strong, I know, you are annoying me now, you look down on me, you go, don't enter this door again." ”

Qiang Wei hesitated for a while, but he was still ruthless and came out.

Standing on the crowded street, Qiang Wei inexplicably surged with a layer of sadness, the street lights flickered, reflecting his slightly haggard face, and then he came to Binhe Road and walked by the Yellow River for more than an hour. A couple snuggling up, as well as flirting cheaters, sisters soliciting customers, migrant workers and elderly people bargaining with their sisters with tickets in their hands, all stimulated his eyes. In his mind, Xu Yanrong's face suddenly flashed. The night breeze is cool, the Yellow River is turbulent, and the city by the Yellow River presents him with all kinds of ** things. This night, he finally endured it and didn't call Xu Yanrong.

On Monday, she really let go of her courage, and in the current situation, she really can't let go. Qiao Guodong is completely unable to work now, and Qiang Wei has made Lao Kui anxious, how can he have the energy to take care of anything else. A lot of work naturally came to her side. She first urged the Water Conservancy Bureau to report to the provincial department, and she wanted to send it herself, but she couldn't get away, so she had to explain to the director on the phone. The director of the hall understood her situation very well and said with relief: "You don't have to run away yourself, I will coordinate this matter personally." Zhou Zhou was very moved, and at a critical time, someone still extended a friendly hand to her. The director of the water conservancy bureau went to the provincial capital with her front foot, and she came to the desert reservoir with her back foot, and the scene of the reservoir was still the same, and the water pulling team was like two long dragons, and it was very eye-catching to line up there. Even if anyone sees such a scene, it is not easy. The sun is still so hot, it's not hot, it's poisonous, why can't the desert sun be gentle? Director Sun followed her in fear, he had prepared for the worst and was ready to be trained at any time. But Monday on this day was very strange, and he didn't get angry at anyone.

There was a short on-site meeting on the embankment, and Zhou Cang spoke a few points. First, we should try by all means to meet the needs of the masses who are pulling water, and at the same time we must pay attention to safety, maintain good order, and refrain from such bad acts as snatching and selling water. As long as the water in the reservoir falls below the warning line, some people will trade water in private, including the staff of the reservoir, and they dare to change their ways to make extra money at this juncture. It was precisely because she was worried about this that she resolutely vetoed the suggestion of the reservoir management office to the people who pulled water. As long as there is a **, things will be chaotic. The second point is also the real purpose of her visit to the reservoir this time. She asked Director Sun to make a report to the Municipal Planning Commission to re-establish the project for the leakage project in District 2. "This time, you will count the project in detail, and if there are any other problems, you will also put forward them." didn't think that as soon as her words fell, Director Sun couldn't wait to take out a report from his bag and handed it to her with both hands.

Director Sun may be too eager to make meritorious contributions, and turning merit into guilt is the best way to make amends, but unfortunately, his report is written in the wrong tone, and it is not the same thing as what Zhou Zhou wanted.

Zhou Zhou glanced at it in front of everyone, and his brows tightened. Director Sun did not write a project report, but an engineering accident report, which not only counted a lot of engineering companies, but also specifically mentioned the matter of acceptance, saying that the acceptance was jointly convened by the Water Conservancy Bureau and the construction project management department, and the reservoir management office was only a subordinate unit, and there was no substantive power in the acceptance, etc.

Zhou Cang put away the report and stared at Director Sun's face for a long time, what a complicated gaze, and what a terrifying gaze. Finally, she handed the report to Director Sun: "You keep this for yourself." With that, she turned around and left the embankment, and walked to the parking lot by the woods below.

Director Sun's feet froze on the embankment, and he couldn't figure out, why didn't Zhou Zhou take this away?

The day after returning to Heyang, Zhou Zhou called the deputy captain of the Public Security Bureau. According to her knowledge, after Jia Yifei, director of the Shaxian County People's Congress Office, was killed in a car accident, Qiang Wei hinted to the traffic police department to hastily close the case, and the perpetrator made compensation in a very short period of time. Up to now, Zhang Hanqiu is hiding in the desert as if he is nothing, and the calm has to be suspicious. Zhou Zhou Cang firmly believes that behind this car accident, there must be an ulterior shady curtain. Thinking of Jia Yifei's accident, he had found the municipal party committee many times before the accident and reported the situation to Qiang Wei, and Qiang Wei also criticized Jia Yifei by name at a standing committee meeting, just when she was going to find Jia Yifei alone to find out something, Jia Yifei suddenly died in a car accident.

The deputy captain investigated the same situation, and he also said that the two traffic policemen who handled the case at the beginning have now been promoted. After listening to this, Zhou Zhou said calmly: "According to your plan, continue to investigate, there are not enough people, you can mention it to me." The deputy captain hurriedly shook his head: "Enough, this kind of case, there are many people involved, but it's not good." ”

As soon as the deputy captain left, someone came to report that there was favoritism and irregularities in Jiuduntan, and that the matter of shutting down the well and pressing the fields had not been implemented at all.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Cang looked up in surprise.

"This is true, the township and the county are jointly engaged in coaxing, ostensibly saying that they are shutting down, but in fact, not a single well has been shut down."

"How is this possible?" Zhou Zhou had to be shocked, no wonder Qin Xiyue had an opinion about her, no wonder as soon as she asked about closing the well and pressing the field, the people below would swallow and vomit, prevaricate her, and deal with her. According to the division of labor in the city, this work is grasped by a deputy mayor, but this person rarely reports to her.

Zhou Zhou forced herself to not let out the fire in her heart, but she couldn't figure it out, the governance of the Huyang River Basin has become more and more a sharp topic, and the whole province is highly concerned about it Today, Shaxian County and Jiuduntan Township, how dare they dare to act so blatantly against the province? She really wanted to pick up the phone and call Zhang Xiangsheng, deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, but she wanted to ask, is the resolution made by the Provincial People's Congress overturned if anyone wants to overturn it?

In the end, she held back!

She believes that someone must know the inside story, and if she is concealed, maybe she is alone!

In the evening, Zhou Cang was writing a letter of advice to the Provincial People's Congress, and she also had a lot of ideas about closing the well and pressing the fields, and she wanted to submit it in the form of suggestions. There was a sudden knock on the door, and it was Mao Wanli, the head of Jiuduntan Township, who came in.

In the cadre team of Shaxian County, Mao Wanli is a person who is determined to follow Zhou Cang, which may be ugly, but it is the truth. When Mao Wanli went to Jiuduntan, he was "assigned" by the Shaxian County Party Committee after causing trouble in other townships. Zhou Zhou met Mao Wanli during an inspection work, and at that time she felt that this person was rough, not like a township cadre, and then she thought that the work in the countryside was rough, not like the city government and the provincial government, maybe this kind of person is still the most suitable. Moreover, she has a point of view that most people who have made mistakes are very active in the process of correcting them. On the official road, which cadre doesn't want to improve, even if it is a cadre who has been punished and demoted. If this kind of person is used well, he may be able to do something great for you one day. That day, she saw Mao Wanli at the scene of sand control, he was gray-headed, shirtless, sweat and sand and dust painted a stained picture on his body, and on this point, Zhou Zhou thought that he could endure hardships and get along with the peasants. At present, it is easy to find cadres who do not make mistakes and do not have problems, but there are few cadres who dare to make mistakes and can be frank and mixed with the people! Zhou Zhou was also moved by Mao Wanli that day, so he praised him at the inspection meeting, but he didn't think about it, so he formed a strange relationship with Mao Wanli.

Mao Wanli is afraid that he will never forget that praise for the rest of his life. Since he was "assigned" to Jiuduntan by the county party committee, the word "praise" has become his distant relative, and he will never come to his door again. Mao Wanli is distressed by this, anxious about this, but there is no way, he can't be cheeky to find the leader to praise, right?

Unexpectedly, the new mayor affirmed him so much, and said that he had ideas and methods for his work, and if the comrades in the development zone could be like him, there would be hope for our development zone. After that, Mao Wanli's heart was pretended to be the person of Zhou Cang. In the future, he also looked for Zhou Zhou Cang twice, and Zhou Zhou Cang was very polite and enthusiastic, not only shushing the cold and asking for warmth, but also expressing a desire to make him the secretary of the township party committee of Jiuduntan. Of course, Zhou Zhou didn't say it explicitly, and it was impossible to say it explicitly, but Mao Wanli felt this meaning from her tone.

Sometimes people's feelings are so weird, and Mao Wanli, a rough person, can actually feel the meaning of the mayor's words.

Zhou Cang said that anyone who has ambitions should have the opportunity to display their talents. Mao Wanli didn't want to show his talent, he wanted to be a secretary, he wanted to, he wanted to. After two or three years as a secretary in the development zone, you can hit the county, if the big tree of Zhou Zhou Cang is still there (strange, after only two contacts, Mao Wanli will regard Zhou Cang as a big tree), his former ** can be described as immeasurable. Life is like this, for small cadres at the grassroots level, there is a person above, who is stronger than anything else. Mao Wanli even thought that if Zhou Cang could come to Heyang earlier, would he be able to end up like this?

really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and during the day, Zhou Zhou thought about looking for Mao Wanli to understand the situation, such a big matter, why didn't Mao Wanli report to her? didn't think about it, Mao Wanli gave it in the evening. On Monday this day, she used a little trick, and she didn't rush to bring up the topic, she wanted to see if Mao Wanli would say it herself? She kindly invited Mao Wanli to sit down, made him a cup of tea, and then said:

"Xiao Mao, why hasn't you looked good lately, have you encountered something unpleasant again?" Zhou Zhou originally called Mao Wanli **, but later figured out his age and changed his name to Xiao Mao. Mao Wanli is thirty-two years old, but his face is very old, he looks like he is forty years old, there is no way, the wind and sun are blowing in the desert, and no one can resist the power of nature.

"Talking to the people all day long, can it be smooth?" Mao Wanli hung his head and said dejectedly that he came today to complain about Zhou Zhou. In this Jiuduntan Township, he really can't squat.

"Huh? Isn't the problem of the development zone solved, and why, the people still have opinions? ”

"Resolved? Who's going to solve it? In the past few years, the compensation has not been implemented, and this year the well has been closed and the field has been pressed, and there is no water in the well, and it does not matter if it is closed or not. The well was built by them with money, and everyone took out loans, and the credit union came to collect debts every day. This is good, as soon as the above mentioned that the well was closed, the people immediately asked the township for money, saying that they wanted to repay the credit cooperative. ”

When Zhou Zhou heard this, he couldn't help it, and his face sank and said: "You tell me the truth, is the well closed here in Jiuduntan, and the field is not pressed?" ”

Mao Wanli wanted to complain a few more words, but when he saw that Zhou Zhou's face had changed, he immediately stopped talking: "Mayor Zhou, this ......"

"Why, you don't tell the truth, do you? I can't imagine that you have this attitude towards shutting down wells and pressing fields. Township cadres all know this, how can the work of the common people be done well? I thought that your understanding of Township Chief Mao could be higher, but it turns out that you are still the same as in the past, and you have not improved at all. ”

"Mayor Zhou......" Mao Wanli made Zhou Cang's criticism nervous, and he thought that Zhou Zhou Cang was unwilling to let the well be closed, who knows......

Monday's face became more and more cloudy, and she didn't know how to say it. It seems that there are still a lot of things she doesn't know in Heyang, and she, as the mayor, is really interesting-

Mao Wanli didn't dare to be ambiguous, and struggled for a long time before he said: "Mayor Zhou, I haven't dared to tell you that we just ...... when the wells are closed and the fields are pressed Verbally promoted, but I didn't dare to really close the real pressure. ”

"Why?" Monday's voice suddenly rose high.

"It was the county that hinted that we did this, for fear that something would happen. Moreover, Secretary Yang also meant this, he said to deal with it, don't be serious with the farmers, causing trouble, it's still a matter of our township. ”

"This Yang Changwu, how can he be like this, he is so bold that he dares to take the provincial policy as a child's play!" On Monday, a fire was started, and Mao Wanli was so frightened that he shrank on the corner of the sofa, and his body couldn't help shaking. Monday Cang sent out a burst of fire and slowed down his voice: "Xiao Mao, shutting down the well and pressing the field, is a comprehensive measure proposed by Comrade Qin Xiyue after several years of investigation and demonstration, the provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to this plan, and the provincial people's congress also voted on the Standing Committee to pass this bill, which is a fundamental measure to solve the drought and water shortage and ecological deterioration in the poplar River Basin. The municipal party committee and city have stressed many times that we must take into account the overall situation, and we cannot just stand on the standpoint of Heyang as a city and ignore the life and death of the whole river basin. You are actually playing false, and you are actually singing against the provincial party committee and the provincial government. I'll look into this and see who's doing it. Since you are here today, I will tell you my attitude by the way, you are the head of the township, and you are the leader of the **, these things are your job. No matter what time a person is, he should do his own work well, and he can't follow others because he or she is also a big one. Closing the well and pressing the field is controversial, but we must have a serious attitude, this kind of deception and deception is very terrible! If you go back and think about it, I am afraid that the problem of Jiuduntan is not only about shutting down wells and pressing fields, but also about how much you have concealed and how much you have falsely concealed, and I think you should first give an explanation to yourself, and secondly, you should also give an explanation to the organization and the masses. Speaking of which, she stopped talking, she felt that there was something impulsive today, she shouldn't be impulsive.

"Mayor Zhou—"

"Okay, you go back first, I also have an appointment with a guest, go back and think about it, and then look for me when you think clearly." Zhou Cang's face was already very cold, and it would be difficult for Mao Wanli to sit down again. He got up with difficulty, and said tremblingly: "Mayor, you are right in your criticism, I will definitely ...... when I go back this time."

"Okay, okay, you can also give me a statement, if you make a statement, I don't want to hear it. I still say the same thing, you Mao Wanli is a person with brains and ideas, and you should make some achievements in that position. I'm a little disappointed by the way you look. ”

Mao Wanli walked away with a fluttering heart, and Zhou Cang himself also fell into deep thought.
