As soon as he got off the plane, Qiang Wei heard an unfortunate news.

The comrades who came to pick him up said that three hours ago, Comrade Gao Bo suddenly had a fever, which lasted for more than an hour and could not go away.

"Is it dangerous?" Qiang Wei asked anxiously.

"No one can say for sure, but this time the situation is very bad, according to the attending doctor, Comrade Gao Bo has residual blood left in his skull, which has not been disposed of, and this time it may be the residual blood stain."

The speaker's voice was very deep, and when Qiang Wei heard it, his heart was even more breathless.

Why is it that God is so difficult to get along with people who are diligent and conscientious? Secretary Gao Bo was unfortunately involved in a car accident during a catastrophic mining accident in the Jiaojiawan Coal Mine. The Jiaojiawan Coal Mine is the largest coal mine in the province, and the safety situation has always been very good, but during a heavy rain in late spring, a sudden collapse occurred on the face of the No. 2 mine of the coal mine, and more than 100 miners working underground were trapped inside, and the situation was quite critical. After receiving the report, Secretary Gao Bo rushed to the coalfield as soon as possible and commanded the rescue. After 24 hours of hard fighting, more than 80 trapped miners escaped and were rescued by rescue crews, but there were still more than 20 trapped underground, and death was approaching them at any time. The torrential rain continued, the mountain roads were muddy, some sections of the road were washed away by flash floods, the ambulances under the mountain could not reach the mountain, and the injured miners on the mountain could not be sent down the mountain immediately, and the coal field was in chaos. In a hurry, Secretary Gao Bo drove to the middle of the mountain, personally commanded the army and local rescue team members to repair the road, who knew that the car traveled to the vicinity of the No. 4 well field, the mountain suddenly landslided, Secretary Gao Bo's car was pushed out of the mountain more than 500 meters, fell under the mountain.

The accident eventually claimed 12 lives, making it the province's largest mining disaster in recent years. Secretary Gao Bo's driver was also killed, but fortunately, Secretary Gao Bo was thrown out of the car and hit his head a tree.

After receiving first aid in the provincial hospital, Beijing sent a special plane to take Secretary Gao Bo to Beijing. I thought that with the all-out treatment of Beijing, Secretary Gao Bo would avoid this misfortune, but who knows......

After Secretary Gao Bo woke up from a coma, his condition has been unstable, Qiang Wei visited him twice in Beijing, and also briefly reported to him about Heyang's work. At that time, the feeling was that if Secretary Gao Bo could get through, he would definitely be able to get back on his feet and return to work. But he really didn't expect that Secretary Gao Bo had blood in his brain, which would pose a threat to his life at any time, and he would rather not go to Beijing than tell him what happened in Heyang.

If he can't return to Yinzhou, then it is very likely that the power of the provincial party committee will really fall into the hands of Qi Moran, and the more than 60 million in Hehua will never be found out. Thinking of this, Qiang Wei's heart was boundlessly dark. This time, he not only had to report to Secretary Gao Bo about the more than 60 million in Hehua, but he also had to report to Secretary Gao Bo.

Zhou Tieshan is not only suspected of huge bribes Qi Moran, but he is also suspected of major bribery!

Qiang Wei knew about it, and it wasn't too long. To be exact, it was his third day as director of the National People's Congress. Xu Yanrong came to see him that night and congratulated him, and after the two of them said a few words, Xu Yanrong suddenly said: "Jia Yifei's car accident case is likely to have another reason, and you handled it too hastily at that time." ”

Qiang Wei was surprised: "What did you hear?" ”

Xu Yanrong was not in a hurry to tell him what he heard, she asked in a tactful tone: "Can you tell me, why did you let the traffic police department deal with the accident according to the general ** at that time?" ”

Qiang Wei said without thinking about it: "It was originally a traffic accident, what is the generality and not the general?" ”

Hearing Qiang Wei say this, Xu Yanrong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she still asked the doubts in her heart: "Don't you really suspect that someone deliberately caused this car accident?" ”

"Intentionally causing a car accident?" Qiang Wei was shocked, Xu Yanrong's words were by no means groundless, nor did they seem to be said casually, could it be ......

On March 18 last year, that is, the day after the end of the two sessions in Heyang, Jia Yifei, director of the Shaxian County People's Congress Office, took a car to Yinzhou, and the car went to the bend of the Wushengyi Expressway. Jia Yifei died on the spot, and the driver also stopped breathing due to excessive bleeding on the way to the hospital.

At that time, it was nearly dark, and when the traffic police received the accident alarm and rushed to deal with it, the agricultural goods had escaped. The highway in Wushengyi is not closed, which is determined by the special geographical location of the local area, the mountains here are dangerous, the terrain is complex, the highway is only this one, once closed, the villagers of several nearby towns and the merchants in the Wushengyi business district will be "no way to go", at that time to build this road, up and down is also after a fierce debate.

Qiang Wei received a report the next day, the traffic police responsible for handling the accident said that Jia Yifei's driver was suspected of drunk driving, and the subsequent investigation also proved that Jia Yifei did drink in a hotel before they went on the road, and the driver was an alcoholic, and he would get drunk many times, and he had been dealt with by the traffic police department many times.

"As a staff member of a state agency, I don't even know how to abide by such common-sense regulations, what else can I say if something happens!" Qiang Wei said angrily. He then instructed the traffic police department to find the perpetrator as soon as possible, find out the cause, and deal with it in accordance with traffic laws.

A month later, the owner of the large agricultural truck surrendered himself, tearfully saying that he was in a hurry that day, and his nine-year-old son was pulled in the car, and his son had eaten poisonous beans by mistake, and his life was quite dangerous...... After the traffic police department investigated, it was proved that the owner of the car was indeed not lying, and his son was really suffering from food poisoning that day, and the doctor at the township hospital provided a certificate. Two months later, the court ruled that the agricultural vehicle owner should pay 120,000 yuan in compensation to the victim, and impose one year and three months in prison on the agricultural vehicle owner in accordance with the traffic law.

Jia Yifei's case is like this, from beginning to end, Qiang Wei didn't say much, the only radical words were the whining words of "what else is there to say if something happens". As a result, it was rumored in Heyang privately that Qiang Wei intervened in the case, and some people even said that in the face of the family of the deceased, Qiang Wei even scolded: "People like Jia Yifei deserve to die!" Subsequently, someone revealed that Qiang Wei hated Jia Yifei to the bone, Jia Yifei wanted to climb up, and once bribed Qiang Wei with 100,000 yuan, wanting to buy the black gauze hat of the deputy county magistrate of Sha County, Qiang Wei accepted the money, but did not do anything, before the people's congress was held, Jia Yifei looked for Qiang Wei and wanted to get his money back, and the two had a fierce quarrel. Jia Yifei also threatened Qiang Wei that if he was not placed in the position of deputy county magistrate, he would go to the provincial party committee and the provincial people's congress to report Qiang Wei's secret betrayal of official positions. Some people also say that Qiang Wei accepted the money and didn't do anything because he fell in love with Jia Yifei's wife Zhang Hanqiu, who was as beautiful as a flower and had the reputation of "Shaxian Tianxian". After Jia Yifei's accident, Qiang Wei did meet Zhang Hanqiu alone, and soon promoted Zhang Hanqiu to the vice principal of a middle school in Shaxian County.

There are even rumors that the car accident was secretly caused by Qiang Wei's subordinates, and the agricultural car owner is just a scapegoat. There were many rumors, but Qiang Wei ignored them, and the rumors spread endlessly in Heyang. This made Xu Yanrong and others unable to figure out the truth and falsehood, and even Qin Xiyue also accused Qiang Wei in this matter. Jia Yifei is the son of the old landlady when Qin Xiyue went to the countryside in Shaxian County to cut the queue, the landlady found Qin Xiyue, a handful of snot and tears, telling that his son was killed by someone, and he couldn't just pay a few dollars, Qin Xiyue said angrily: "How can he be like this, how can he be like this!" ”

That night, seeing that Qiang Wei was pondering and not speaking, Xu Yanrong asked anxiously: "You are talking, do you really not know or do you know and pretend?" ”

Qiang Wei was angry at once: "What am I pretending? Do you also suspect that I received Jia Yifei's money? ”

"I said you took the money, I asked, did you know about the police car at that time?"

"Police cars?" Qiang Wei made Xu Yanrong more and more confused, "If you have anything to say, you can say it together, don't be so babbling." ”

Xu Yanrong told the facts he had learned.

Jia Yifei's car accident case is really questionable, and it is a big question!

Xu Yanrong said that on the day of the incident, a traffic police officer on duty hid not far from the interface between Wushengyi Expressway and the sidewalk. The agricultural goods have been in arrears for half a year, thinking that they are checking the road tolls, so they fled without their lives, and they made a mistake in the wrong way. After the accident, the duty car mysteriously disappeared, and it was another car that rushed to deal with the accident.

"What evidence do you have?" Qiang Wei buzzed in his head and blurted out to ask.

"I looked for the owner of the car and he told me the truth."

"Then why didn't he say it then?"

"At that time, someone intimidated him and gave him 30,000 yuan."

"Who?"

"Zhou Tieshan."

"What?"

Qiang Wei was shocked.

Xu Yanrong further said: "It is certain that this car accident was caused by Zhou Tieshan, although I don't understand why he killed Jia Yifei, but I think it has something to do with Zhou Tieshan's election as the **** of Shaxian County." Zhou Tieshan used to have a good relationship with Jia Yifei, Zhou Tieshan was elected ****, Jia Yifei helped a lot from it, and Jia Yifei also got a lot of benefits, and then the two fell out, Jia Yifei threatened Zhou Tieshan and wanted to tell the fact of bribery, Zhou Tieshan was annoyed and angry, this is ......"

"What about the evidence? I don't believe these rumors, I want proof! Qiang Wei tried his best to control his emotions, if what Xu Yanrong said was true, then this matter would cause a series of turmoil. You must know that Zhou Tieshan has just been elected as the national **** at the two sessions this year, and his representative qualifications have been reviewed and approved by the Provincial People's Congress, and Comrade Gao Bo is also the director of the Provincial People's Congress!

Xu Yanrong said sadly: "Secretary Qiang, I won't believe the rumors, I have looked for Zhang Hanqiu, and she said a very important fact. Jia Yifei went to the Provincial People's Congress that day, and wanted to hand over the evidence materials of Zhou Tieshan's bribery to the Provincial People's Congress, and he had spoken to Qin Xiyue on the phone before, wanting Qin Xiyue to help with this. After the car accident, Jia Yifei's purse was missing, and the evidence materials inside were also missing. ”

"......" Qiang Wei was completely dumbfounded, so far, he has believed that what Xu Yanrong said is the truth, and there is indeed a black hand hidden behind Jia Yifei's car accident case.

Xu Yanrong then said: "Secretary Qiang, I'm afraid you can't think of it, just when I was checking this, Mayor Zhou Zhou was also secretly sending someone to investigate, and she has no less evidence than me." ”

She ...... Why did she have to look it up? Qiang Wei couldn't understand again.

"Mayor Zhou listened to the rumors, and she mistakenly thought that Jia Yifei's death was related to you."

“……”

Sitting in the car, Qiang Wei had a lot of thoughts, if he couldn't see Secretary Gao Bo and couldn't get his instructions on this trip, how would he deal with the situation after he went back? How could he find out all this by his own strength? Although there is Zhang Xiangsheng and Qin Xiyue behind them, they are only a research team after all, and they can't help much substantially, and Qi Moran can ignore it and let the research team add fuel to the fire in Heyang?

Thinking of Qi Moran, Qiang Wei couldn't help but let out a few shudders.

This person hides so deeply, and there is Zhou Cang who was deceived by him, what should they do if they are unanimously aimed at him?

After more than two hours of running, the car finally drove into the Union Hospital, the traffic in Beijing is really annoying, the car is blocked, which is equivalent to blocking people's hearts. Several times, Qiang Wei was about to get angry at the ant-like convoy on the road.

When he came downstairs to the inpatient department, he saw that the elevator was still on more than ten floors, Qiang Wei couldn't wait, and walked upstairs quickly, at this time he felt that his heart was beating violently, and he could even hear the pounding heartbeat. There were so many people upstairs, all of them with the same heavy faces, and there were a few of them, whispering at the bend of the stairs, Qiang Wei seemed to have seen them, and it was when he visited Secretary Gao Bo for the first time. When he was about to reach the sixth floor, his steps were blocked, and the staff told him that he had been informed by the relevant authorities that the visitors would not be allowed to go to the sixth floor.

"How is Secretary Gao Bo's condition?" Qiang Wei asked nervously.

"I'm sorry, the situation is unknown at the moment, please wait downstairs."

"I came all the way from Heyang, and I have something important to report to Secretary Gao Bo."

"This comrade, please cooperate with our work and go downstairs." A person in charge who came down from the sixth floor glanced at him very dissatisfied, and ordered in a tone that could not be disobeyed.

Qiang Wei felt that he was a little dizzy, said "I'm sorry", turned his steps mechanically, and walked downstairs step by step. The comrade who picked him up was out of breath and climbed upstairs, but he had just received the notice and said in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry Secretary Qiang, I still have something to do, you go downstairs first, and then contact you when I'm done." ”

Qiang Wei said thank you, but his mind was already blank. There is no need to ask for details, just based on the scene in front of you and the tense air, you can guess that Secretary Gao Bo's condition must not be optimistic.

He waited downstairs until it was dark, and no one called him, let alone came looking for him. The situation, he thought, must be terrible, or the comrade would not have left him alone. He left the hospital with an unusually heavy heart, trying to find a place to stay and wait for news.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the afternoon the next day that the comrade called and asked where he was. Qiang Wei said the name of the hotel, and the comrade asked him to wait at the hotel, saying that Secretary Gao Bo's secretary would go to see him in an hour. Qiang Wei's heart began to pound again, he was afraid to hear the unfortunate news, but he was anxious to know the news. An hour later, there was a knock on the door, and Qiang Wei opened the door, only to see Gao Bo's secretary standing outside with a gloomy face.

"What the hell is going on?"

Secretary Gao Bo's secretary shook his head slowly, and said with irrepressible sorrow: "The hospital tried its best, but it still failed to save him from his coma. Secretary Gao Bo is paralyzed and is still in a severe coma. ”

"What?" Qiang Wei slumped down on the couch.

"He's probably going to be in a vegetative state." The secretary said again.

A black cloud rose up, and it suddenly covered Qiang Wei's heart.

It's horrible.

The two of them were silent for ten minutes before Secretary Gao Bo's secretary said, "I am in a hurry to see you, and I have an important situation to tell you." ”

"Say it." Qiang Wei's voice was so low that he couldn't even hear it.

"Secretary Gao Bo left two sentences for me to convey to you." The secretary paused, and then said, "First, the Hehua Group must be saved, and the developer must not be allowed to build a house. Second, the Jiuduntan Development Zone should adhere to it and not be discouraged. After the secretary finished speaking, he looked at him with heavy eyes for a long time, and said, "Secretary Gao Bo has never been able to let go of Heyang in his heart." ”

Secretary Gao Bo's two sentences hit Qiang Wei's heart like a heavy hammer, the secretary has been gone for a long time, and Qiang Wei is still sinking in it and can't wake up.

These two sentences are both referential. After the Hehua Group fell into a predicament, the provinces and cities thought of many ways, but finally because the stall was too large and the burden was too much, it was unable to reverse the loss situation for a while. Coupled with the influence of the climate, it is difficult for Hehua to return to the old scenery, and in the face of the predicament, restructuring has become inevitable. At this time, Zhou Tieshan took the initiative to merge or acquire Hehua, at the beginning, Qiangwei was also very positive, after all, Tieshan Group is a leader in private enterprises, the rapid development in recent years, assets from more than 20 million to more than 200 million, the group has been involved in six industries, four major fields, employees have also developed from more than 100 people to more than 1,000 people, has become the backbone of the private economy in Heyang and even the province. After the plan was submitted to the province, Qi Moran immediately gave instructions to Heyang to go all out to promote this matter, to promote the reform of state-owned enterprises in a big way, and to let the private economy quickly participate in the reorganization and integration of state-owned enterprises. It is necessary to publicize and promote this merger case as a key case, to set off a vigorous development of the private economy, and to let the private economy play a leading role in the national economy. The idea is certainly good, and the formulation is inspiring. But in the course of operation, Qiangwei suddenly found that the reason why Tieshan Group invested in the acquisition of Hehua Group was not to revitalize Hehua's assets, nor to revitalize Hehua. Zhou Tieshan's purpose is real estate.

Hehua Group is the largest state-owned enterprise in Heyang, and its main factory is located in the center of Heyang City, which is a prime location in the true sense. In addition to the three branches merged in the later period of Hehua, two in Xicheng District and one on the edge of Heyang's largest bazaar trade, these three locations are all coveted by developers.

It has been a practice in many areas to buy state-owned enterprises at a low price, and then dismantle the factories and turn them into garden communities. In Ha Duong, there are many such cases. Those state-owned enterprises that have made outstanding contributions to the development of the local economy, and those state-owned enterprises that have silently contributed to the country and the local government like old scalpers in the past for a long time, have now encountered market bottlenecks, and many have become the meat of real estate developers in the name of restructuring. Acquisition at a low price, policy merger, and then with a buyout fee of a few hundred yuan a year, those workers who have worked in front of the lathe all their lives will be bought out of their seniority, buy out their identity, and send them home. A few months later, high-rise buildings with the atmosphere of the times rose from the ground, and the first-class garden community became the result of reform. In this regard, Qiang Wei has always insisted on his own view, believing that this is not a reform, but a plunder. For the state, for the localities, and for the workers, such reforms are unfair and worth considering. However, reform is the general trend, and in the face of a powerful torrent, the voice of the individual will always be weak or even insignificant. No one can stop history from taking this step, Qiang Wei can't stop it, and Gao Bo can't stop it.

For Hehua, Qiang Wei resolutely does not allow this!

He couldn't personally destroy an old state-owned enterprise with a history of several decades, let alone sweep tens of thousands of workers out of the house. Tens of thousands, each person gives a pitiful more than 10,000 yuan, even if he sells his life. How can they live on more than 10,000 yuan? Replacing identity, replacing identity is not taking money to buy out a person's life!

After grasping the conclusive facts, Qiang Wei suddenly announced that the merger procedure would be suspended, the working group would be withdrawn, and the issue of river transformation would be reconsidered!

This sound was tantamount to a thunderclap, which made many people dumbfounded. So, the complaint letter flew to the provincial party committee and provincial government like snowflakes, Qi Moran was very unhappy, and criticized Qiang Wei on the phone, why should the reform be suspended, is it possible that the provincial party committee has expressed its position, and you Qiang Wei will overthrow it if you want to?

Qiang Wei first patiently explained to Qi Moran, saying that if this change was made, the mood of the workers was very great, and it was difficult to maintain stability, and if tens of thousands of workers made trouble, the situation in Heyang would not be easy to clean up.

"Is it because the employees are emotionally emotional or are you strong and emotional? As I have said time and again, reform is a pain and some people must pay the price. If you don't pay the price, you can't call it reform! ”

Qiang Wei thought for a while and said, "Is the price paid by the working class smaller?" Why is it that every time a society is transformed, it is not the peasants or the workers who bear the cost? I can't figure it out. ”

"If you can't figure it out, you have to think that now is the critical period of reform, and many issues are not debated by you and me, and we can only have hope if we unswervingly carry out the reform!"

"I support reform, but I can't agree with demolishing factories and building buildings."

After hearing this, Qi Moran didn't say anything, and then he didn't mention the matter of the Hehua Group to Qiang Wei again. But because of a river group, Qiangwei's life is getting more and more difficult day by day. Soon, news came that the provincial party committee was going to adjust the team in Heyang, Qiang Wei was going to work in the political research office of the provincial party committee, and Qiao Guodong was likely to take over the secretary of the municipal party committee.

At this time, Qiang Wei had to find Secretary Gao Bo. Secretary Gao Bo once expressed his stance on the merger of Tieshan Group and Hehua, and Qi Moran was in charge of the reform of industrial enterprises in the province, which was also the division of labor made by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. Qiang Wei was hesitant at first, whether Secretary Gao Bo could listen to his opinions and whether he could come forward to stop the merger. didn't think about it, and when he finished his report, Secretary Gao Bo's first sentence said: "Yes, our old state-owned enterprises are getting fewer and fewer, and real estate is getting hotter and hotter, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to hear the word 'worker' in the future." After sighing for a while, he suddenly asked: "If you don't let them buy and build a house, do you have a way to revive Hehua?" ”

Qiang Wei thought about it, nodded solemnly, and said: "There is a way, but you have to give me time, the reform of state-owned enterprises is indeed a difficult problem, and I need time to solve it." ”

Secretary Gao Bo thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you two years, if you can't save Hehua, you will automatically leave Heyang, how about it?" ”

Qiang Wei didn't nod or shake his head, he knew that Secretary Gao Bo's words were equivalent to making him make a military order!

Now that two years have passed, he still hasn't been able to play the game of Hehua. As soon as he thought of this, Qiang Wei's heart was full of guilt and self-blame. He has worked in Heyang for six years, six years, who can work in the position of secretary of the municipal party committee for six consecutive years? Secretary Gao Bo gave him this opportunity, but what did he do?

For the Jiuduntan Development Zone, he can't even think about it, this is not only a pain in his heart, but also a pain in Secretary Gao Bo's heart. I'm afraid that no one knows, the development of Jiuduntan, originally not his strong idea, this idea, was put forward by Secretary Gao Bo, it is a move in Secretary Gao Bo's long-term strategy to build a new countryside in the west, but unfortunately this move, he Qiangwei did not play well, did not play well——
