Lin Yawen painstakingly withdrew her gaze stretched out to Secretary Sun Tao, by this time, she already knew that everything was irretrievable, it could only be like this! Unwillingly, she called "Secretary Sun" again, and then raised her head and walked out.

1

In Qi Maolin's office, the air was as heavy as death.

Lin Yawen rushed back to the county seat overnight, and when she was still in Suwu Township for a meeting, she called Qi Maolin: "Secretary Qi, the situation is very serious, not only is the short payment of 800,000 yuan, but the village accountant has explained some things, Beihu sells land, and it really involves many leaders......" Lin Yawen was still thinking about the words, Qi Maolin was already angry: "You come back immediately, and the work over there will stop immediately!" ”

"What about people, what about people?" Lin Yawen asked again, she was not worried about Yang Niman, for fear that as soon as she left, Yang Niman would have three long and two short.

"Let Mao Yansong eat and drink deliciously and wait!" After speaking, Qi Maolin pressed the phone. Lin Yawen hurriedly explained to Mao Yansong, and rushed back with the stars. Halfway through, her mobile phone rang, and when she saw that it was the secretary general of the municipal party committee calling, Lin Yawen hurriedly picked it up, at this time, every call is a signal, and it may lead to a bigger storm.

"What have you been messing around with lately, are you trying to make the whole city uneasy?" The secretary-general's tone was very bad, and he threw a fire at her, Lin Yawen still wanted to explain a few words, and the secretary-general said very seriously: "The Beihu matter has long been concluded by the municipal party committee, let you go just to solve the remaining problems, you can do more if you want to, but all the consequences are borne by you!" ”

"What did Secretary Sun say?" Lin Yawen dared to ask, at this time, she really wanted to know Secretary Sun Tao's attitude.

"This is Comrade Sun Tao's opinion!"

Lin Yawen was dumbfounded, how could it be, Secretary Sun Tao wouldn't be swayed by them, right? Just thinking about it, the phone called again, it was Mayor Lin Haishi, and when the phone was connected, Lin Haishi asked, "Where are you?" ”

Lin Yawen said truthfully that she had just returned from Suwu Township and was about to return to the county.

Lin Haishi paused: "You have been moving a little bit lately, so you should pay attention." ”

Lin Yawen snorted, not understanding Lin Haishi's true intentions.

Lin Haishi continued: "I'm leaving Hexi City tomorrow, I don't want to see you end up with me." ”

Lin Yawen bounced up suddenly: "No, Mayor Lin, you ......"

"I received a notice in the afternoon, go to the Provincial Bureau of Statistics."

"How is that possible?" Lin Yawen was shocked, she had just tossed out a radish, and before the mud was lifted, someone started to do it?

"Yawen, listen to my advice, don't do too much, you know?"

Lin Yawen held the phone, didn't know how to talk to Lin Haishi for a while, and was silent for a long time, she closed the phone gently. In my mind, I was completely occupied by that face.

It seems that this time it touched the depths of his sore spot.

Qi Maolin has been waiting in the office, and the moment he received the call, he realized that the conflict between himself and Lin Yawen was about to completely explode. No, this is not a contradiction, how to say it, it was Lin Yawen who insisted on forcing him to take drastic measures.

Qi Maolin seems to have changed a person these days, the death of his wife and nephew hit him too hard, and a person ended his life for no reason, and he couldn't figure out who he was lying on. At the beginning, Qi Maolin also had too many ideas, and even wanted to stand up and uncover the paper fearlessly and let the truth surface. Soon he hesitated again, this hesitation was not because he was timid, nor was he afraid of some kind of force, the word "force" had always been hated by Qi Maolin. Qi Maolin has worked in Shahu for so many years, and he can't help but say that he hasn't been lured and coerced by forces, and he can't say that he hasn't bowed his head in front of forces, but he is afraid that he can't do it. Qi Maolin thought of another layer, even if he opened this piece of paper, what could he do?

On the issue of the two lakes in the north and south, Qi Maolin knows far more than Lin Yawen, and thinks far more deeply than Lin Yawen. He will not be naïve enough to fantasize about the problem of the two lakes in the north and south, and fantasize about bringing down a mountain. That's impossible! In the middle of the night, Qi Maolin often heard such a voice in the dark, reminding him and warning him. Not only will it not be able to pull it down, but it will also make the other party beat him backwards and put all the blame on him. After all, he is the secretary of the Shahu County Party Committee, and he can't get rid of everything that happened in Shahu. Also, Qi Maolin is even more afraid, once the matter reaches that level, I am afraid that it will be useless for him to come out and take responsibility. The key is not who should be held responsible, but how to solve the problem of Sand Lake. If the problem is not solved, his heart will always be uneasy......

Qi Maolin silently wiped away his tears, which were shed for his wife and nephew. Later, the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection came and told him the fact that his wife and nephew had indeed embezzled public funds, and the amount implemented was 2.12 million, part of which was squandered, used to support his mistress, send a house and a car, and let his mistress go abroad. There is also a part of it that is used to invest. Qi Maolin knew about raising a mistress that as early as three years ago, he quarreled with his wife and nephew over this matter, and the two have not been in contact with each other since. When it comes to investment, Qi Maolin smiled and smiled bitterly. This investment is directed in another direction, not in real estate, not in the stock market, but in the political future.

Who can believe that such an investment is a big investment nowadays, an investment with huge returns.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't save himself. He is the first scapegoat, Qi Maolin believes that there will be a second and a third next......

Qi Maolin regained his spirit and began to preside over the work of the county, no matter what, the county cannot suffer losses, let alone because of the chaos and chaos of the two lakes in the north and south, he is sorry for the 400,000 people in the county, and he is sorry for the land under his feet!

Who knew that at this time, Lin Yawen suddenly became active, she was like a stimulant, she no longer had the docile appearance she had before, she turned into a lion and began to rampage.

It's still immature! Qi Maolin had to sigh like this.

Lin Yawen came in a hurry, and when she entered the door, she started talking, and when she finished speaking, Qi Maolin asked, "Have you finished speaking?" ”

Lin Yawen glared, Qi Maolin's attitude made her stunned.

"When you're done, go back to sleep!"

"Secretary Qi-" Lin Yawen was shocked.

"I said it, I'll go back to sleep when I'm done!"

Lin Yawen was not only surprised, she felt that a certain support in her body was about to fall, she came with so much hope, but she didn't expect that what was waiting for her was ......

I probably felt that what I said just now was too cold and hard, and after a while, Qi Maolin said again: "There will be a meeting in the province tomorrow, you can go and participate." This meeting is also what he just remembered, the Provincial Family Planning Commission held a provincial family planning work promotion meeting, and originally wanted Fu Shilei to go, but now it seems that it is more appropriate for Lin Yawen to go.

"I'm not going!" As soon as she heard that she was about to be separated again, Lin Yawen couldn't help but get angry.

The air in the room froze suddenly, and the expressions of both men froze. Qi Mao Lin Xin said, Lin Yawen, Lin Yawen, I have already given you the stairs, what do you still want, do you have to force me to say everything that should not be said? Lin Yawen didn't care what Qi Maolin thought, her mind was all about Beihu, she wanted to know, what is Qi Maolin's attitude towards Beihu?

After a while, Qi Maolin calmed down and said earnestly: "Comrade Yawen, you are the head of a county, not a willful little girl, there are some words, you don't need to say it, you should be able to understand." ”

"I don't understand!" Lin Yawen's stubborn temper came up again, what Qi Maolin wanted to say, she didn't know, she pretended not to know. She can't agree with Qi Maolin's self-preservation behavior of being afraid of three points, if every cadre retreats when he encounters thorny problems and weighs the pros and cons, then there are some things that he will never want to do. Beihu's lid has been covered for too long, even if it is open, she will open it this time!

She naturally knows what is covered under this lid, she even thinks of Yin Hu from Beihu, this requires imagination, Lin Yawen only had Feng Qiao in her mind before, thinking that Feng Qiao was the chief director of this scene, and now she understands that Feng Qiao is just a protagonist of the singing at the front desk, and the real behind the scenes, still sitting there to guide the country. Otherwise, the above reaction was not so fast, and Lin Haishi would not have been transferred so quickly to become the deputy director of the Statistics Bureau.

Lin Yawen suddenly thought of this layer after answering Lin Haishi's call, thinking of many things that Sima Gufeng had told her before, especially the rumors in the clouds and fog among the high-level leaders of the provincial party committee, she understood that the core person who had been hidden began to take action.

If you make a good move, it proves that Secretary Sun Tao's suspicions are well-founded, and with a single Feng Qiao, he will not make such a big wave, and with a single Feng Qiao, he will not make Secretary Hailin of the Provincial Party Committee hesitate. Lin Yawen decided to investigate all the way down Beihu, and she must expose the crimes that had happened in Shahu, even if she was broken!

"Secretary Qi, you are an old leader, an old party member, I think in the face of major rights and wrongs, you should be more principled than me." Lin Yawen retracted her thoughts and said to Qi Maolin seriously that she really hoped that Qi Maolin could fight side by side with her.

"Comrade Yawen, now is not the time for you and me to talk about principles, I still say the same thing, Beihu matter, you better not touch it, if you insist on touching it, I'm sorry, I can only reflect it to the municipal party committee."

"You're threatening me?"

"No, I, Qi Maolin, never threaten anyone. I'm just concerned about you, and protective. ”

"I don't need protection!"

"You need. It is my duty to protect you, and I cannot watch you make senseless sacrifices. Qi Maolin was excited again, and his tone really had more concern and kindness from the elder brother's leader. Lin Yawen was infected by his voice, and suddenly she was a little speechless.

"Yawen, I understand your feelings, but there are some things that can't be excited, you have to pay attention to strategy, and when you need to think about it in the long run, you should think about it in the long run."

"Long nights and dreams, aren't you afraid of ......" Lin Yawen finally expressed her worries.

"Afraid, why not afraid?" Qi Maolin's voice trembled slightly, and at this moment, he thought of his wife and nephew who committed suicide, and the mother and son who were crying in the provincial capital. But he shook his head resolutely, he couldn't shake, let alone promise Lin Yawen anything! Over the years, he has endured humiliation and burdens, covering up for others and pressing things for others, is he afraid, is it for him to protect himself? No, by no means! Thinking of this, he said in a firm tone: "The Beihu Legacy Problem Municipal Party Committee has given clear instructions to me to deal with it personally, starting tomorrow, you don't want to go back to Beihu, there is a lot of work over there, you still have to put your mind on the county's industrial and agricultural production!" ”

"Secretary Qi, you ......"

"Comrade Yawen, it is a principle for individuals to obey the organization. Before the city party committee did not remove me from my post as secretary of the Shahu County party committee, you still listened to me. ”

Qi Maolin said this, Lin Yawen couldn't fight anymore, and if she fought again, it would be tantamount to provoking Qi Maolin. Besides, Qi Maolin's words were really thinking about her. No matter how excited Lin Yawen is, she can still hear good and bad words clearly.

This night, Lin Yawen thought a lot, and when she thought about it, she was about to shake or give up. Early the next morning, a message suddenly came from Beihu: Song Yazi, an accountant in Huwan Village, almost committed suicide and was being rescued in the hospital. Lin Yawen jumped into a fire in her heart, and she didn't dare to delay for a moment, and drove to Beihu.

Song Yazi put his head into the rope sleeve at twelve o'clock in the evening, he chose to hang himself, fortunately, in the middle of the night, Yang Shuhuai suddenly remembered one thing, ran over and knocked on the door, the sound alarmed his wife, and his breath did not break. Yang Shuhuai said: "It's so dangerous, if it's a minute or two late, I'm afraid I'll ......" Now that the person has come to his senses, there is no big danger, and the stone in Lin Yawen's heart fell to the ground. However, this incident greatly stimulated her. According to Song Yazi's wife, since he confessed those contracts to the township, Song Yazi has been in a daze all day long, as if he was haunted by ghosts, and suddenly said that he didn't want to live anymore and couldn't live. Suddenly, he said that he was going to go to prison and leave their mother and son behind. In short, Song Yazi has changed. As soon as it was dark yesterday, two people came, saying that they were looking for him to make some trouble, but his wife didn't let him go, Song Yazi glanced at his wife viciously, took three hundred yuan, and went out. His wife waited for him to come back, and when she saw that he had drunk and was half drunk, she waited for him to sleep, thinking that if she could drink, it should be nothing, so she went to sleep herself. Who knows......

"Who's looking for him to drink?" Lin Yawen asked Yang Shuhuai.

"One is Boss Wang, who bought land in the past, and is a teacher, but now he is no longer teaching and is doing timber business in Hexi City. The other is Hong Guangda's subordinate, Ye San'er, who is known as Xiao Zhuge . ”

It's him again!

As soon as she heard that it was Hong Guangda's subordinates, Lin Yawen understood everything.

"Notify the police immediately and investigate these two people!" Lin Yawen said to the secretary who came with her. The secretary picked up the phone and called the Public Security Bureau, and an hour later, two comrades from the local police station came and said to Lin Yawen: "County Magistrate Lin, we have looked for it, Boss Wang went to the provincial capital early this morning, saying that he was going to Heilongjiang to distribute timber." After Xiao Zhuge drank last night, he disappeared and couldn't find anyone anywhere. ”

"Can't find it?" Lin Yawen's eyes glared at the faces of the two policemen, she didn't believe that Xiao Zhuge would not find it, someone must be obstructing it. "If you can't find it, find someone else." After speaking, she called the public security bureau directly: "I will limit you to find Xiao Zhuge within two hours, that boss Wang, please send a request to the city bureau and ask them to help find the person." The stakes are high, you know? ”

"Understood!" The director of the public security bureau said very actively on the phone.

Lin Yawen put away the phone and said to the secretary: "Notify the Audit Bureau and the Agricultural Economic Station, and let them immediately organize a working group and station in Huwan Village." ”

The secretary answered and hurriedly called, Lin Yawen discussed with Mao Yansong for a while, and decided to set up a joint working group at the county and township levels, and at the same time carry out a comprehensive audit of the land sales funds in the six districts. "This should be done quickly, and if necessary, the prosecutor's office and the anti-corruption department can be involved."

As soon as the matter here was arranged, Qiao Renshan from the flow management office came to him, and when he saw that there were many people, it was inconvenient to speak, so he glanced at Lin Yawen, meaning that he wanted to borrow a place to speak. Lin Yawen still has a mind, she is now allergic when she hears the three words at the flow pipe.

"What the hell is going on, you can say it, you can't say it, Director Qiao should please go back." Qiao Renshan didn't expect Lin Yawen to serve him with this attitude, he was embarrassed there for a while, he didn't leave, he didn't stay. Seeing this, Mao Yansong invited Qiao Renshan and the driver to another office, and without much effort, Mao Yansong walked in and whispered a few words to Lin Yawen. Lin Yawen's face changed suddenly, she left everyone behind, and hurriedly went over there.

Qiao Renshan didn't come for Xiao Zhuge , he didn't know about Xiao Zhuge yet, and even if he knew, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He came for Zheng Fengshi.

"Did he really go to Beijing?" After listening to Qiao Renshan's words, Lin Yawen asked with wide eyes.

"There will be no mistake, I just received a notice asking me to go to Beijing to pick up people."

"Leader?" Lin Yawen became more and more incomprehensible.

"I'm afraid you don't believe it, he disguised himself as a laid-off worker, petitioned everywhere in Beijing, and finally let the comrades in the petition department take him into custody."

"Sure it's him?" Lin Yawen feels that this thing is incredible, isn't Zheng Fengshi in Xinjiang, even if he goes to Beijing, he doesn't need to pretend-

"There is no need to guess this, after the '121' incident, he disguised himself as a teacher in Huyang Township and went to Beijing once, and later let the comrades of the Letters and Visits Bureau of the Ministry of Water Resources recognize him."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Yawen was so surprised that she was going to die, this thing is like a myth, and it doesn't sound like it's true. But Qiao Renshan's attitude and tone of voice had to make her believe that this was true and there was no room for doubt.

Zheng Fengshi, Zheng Fengshi, why are you bothering?

Qiao Renshan continued: "County Magistrate Lin, this is also forced, you may not know that in the past two years, the letter written by Director Zheng to the above is afraid that it will not fit in a sack. But when the letters were sent, most of them sank into the sea, and the few went around and around, but they still went to them. For this matter, he asked the hall to publicly criticize and report, and some people even threatened...... "Qiao Renshan said this, stopped talking, and took a breath." It can be seen that when he mentions this, he is also indignant and indignant.

"Threaten what?" Lin Yawen couldn't help but ask.

After a while, Qiao Renshan sighed and said, "What else can it be besides intimidation?" I'll tell you the truth, I've been getting a lot of threatening letters these days. ”

Lin Yawen was speechless, and only then did she understand why Zheng Fengshi was so negative and low in the past two years, it turned out that-

The Municipal Public Security Bureau did not actively assist the county bureau, and in the afternoon of the same day, three hours after the county bureau sent a request to the municipal bureau, Lin Yawen received a phone call from the director of the municipal bureau, saying that they could not intervene in the matter because it did not comply with the procedures, and also reminded Lin Yawen not to direct the public security at every turn, and that the public security handled the case according to the principle of public security.

"your principles!" Lin Yawen almost scolded these words. Subsequently, she received a call from the Secretariat of the Municipal Party Committee, asking her to go to the Municipal Party Committee as soon as possible, and Secretary Sun Tao had something to look for her.

2

The conversation took place in a suite in the VIP building of the Hexi Hotel, and when Lin Yawen arrived, Qi Maolin was already there. On the black faces of the two, Lin Yawen felt a heaviness.

"Sit down." Secretary Sun Tao said, and then gave her a look at the secretary who brought her, and the secretary went out in a funny way.

Qi Maolin lowered his eyes, didn't look at her, and didn't speak.

"People aren't dead?" Secretary Sun Tao asked.

"Nope." Lin Yawen said.

"It's a blessing that you didn't die." Secretary Sun Tao said.

"What's that accountant's name?" Secretary Sun Tao asked again.

"Song Yazi." Lin Yawen said. After saying that, Secretary Sun Tao was silent, and Lin Yawen didn't know what to say, so she had to sit dryly. After sitting for five minutes, Secretary Sun Tao asked again: "Did you drink wine?" ”

"Drunk." Lin Yawen replied mechanically.

"Drink and be bold." Secretary Sun Tao said.

Lin Yawen felt that Secretary Sun Tao was inexplicable, the air in the room was inexplicable, and everything that happened in front of her was a little inexplicable. But this was inexplicable and made her feel a huge unease.

"Secretary Sun......" she screamed, wanting to relieve her pressure.

Secretary Sun Tao ignored her, he was playing with a pen holder, the pen holder is antique, the workmanship is very exquisite, at a glance, it is a well-made handicraft, not a practical product. Lin Yawen has never been interested in handicrafts, and if everything is detached from practicality, it will lose half of its value, which is her logic.

Secretary Sun Tao put down the pen holder, picked up a glass cup on the side, as if he wanted to pour water for her, but he didn't pour it, held it in his hand, pushed it back and forth on the coffee table a few times, and asked, "Have you been here for more than two years?" ”

"Two years, eight months, six days."

"Oh."

Then there was silence again.

Qi Maolin got up and went out to the toilet, but his eyes still didn't look at her. Qi Maolin seemed unwilling to look at her today. If you don't watch it, don't watch it, and she doesn't rarely let him watch it. Lin Yawen suddenly became angry.

Lin Yawen waited for Secretary Sun Tao to speak, she thought that as soon as Qi Maolin left, Secretary Sun Tao would tell her something, which should be substantive, rather than killing time in an empty sentence. Secretary Sun Tao didn't say anything, picked up the pen holder again, and stared at it carefully. "Two years, eight months, six days." Later, Secretary Sun Tao repeated her words.

Qi Maolin soon came in again. Lin Yawen still thought that he would avoid it, but it seems that he will not avoid it today.

"Maolin, tell Yawen about it, it's better for you to talk about this matter." Just when Lin Yawen was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do, Secretary Sun Tao suddenly said.

Qi Maolin coughed, he was cheering himself up, Qi Maolin needed to cheer himself up.

"That's right," Qi Maolin coughed again, and then his voice returned to normal, like a dignified county party secretary, "I discussed with Secretary Sun just now and decided to let you go to the Provincial Party School to study, the time, six months." ”

"Studying?" Lin Yawen stood up suddenly.

"Sit down, you don't have to get up." Secretary Sun Tao's voice.

Lin Yawen stood for a full five minutes, then sat down slowly. When she sat down, she saw that Secretary Sun Tao's eyes were drooping, and Qi Maolin's eyes were also drooping, and they didn't want to meet her shocked gaze.

"It's an opportunity, and it's time to learn about it." Secretary Sun Tao's voice seemed to come from another room, distant and unfamiliar, Lin Yawen listened, and her eyes were suddenly soaked with tears. "Secretary Sun......" she called, and the voice didn't sound like it was made by her.

Secretary Sun Tao still ignored him, and said to himself: "Every one of our cadres should continue to learn and improve themselves. ”

"Secretary Sun......"

"Okay, today's handover work, tomorrow's report, the time is tight, the study task is heavy, I won't keep you any longer. After you go back, say a brief hello to the comrades in the county, and Comrade Guoqiang of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee will accompany you tomorrow. After speaking, Secretary Sun Tao was about to send off the guests. Lin Yawen felt like she had been poured a jar of medicine, half of it was still in her mouth, she couldn't swallow it, the bitter taste was churning in her body, and she wanted to shout out the medicine in her mouth several times!

"Let's go, the car is waiting underneath." Qi Maolin got up, waited for a while, and didn't see Lin Yawen have any intention of leaving, and said.

Lin Yawen painstakingly withdrew her gaze stretched out to Secretary Sun Tao, by this time, she already knew that everything was irretrievable, it could only be like this! Unwillingly, she called "Secretary Sun" again, and then raised her head and walked out.

Secretary Sun Tao stood in front of the window, staring out the window, he didn't see this scene, and he couldn't bear to see this scene. It wasn't until Lin Yawen had been gone for a long time that he turned around, stared at the pen holder again, and sighed heavily in his heart: "Who said she is a handicraft, no, she is a **!" ”

Lin Yawen didn't sit in the same car with Qi Maolin that day, and Qi Maolin sent her a text message on the way, but she deleted it without reading it.

Lin Yawen didn't expect it, how could she have thought that dealing with the remaining problems of Beihu was not Secretary Sun Tao's opinion, what happened? and Qi Maolin, what role does he play now? Along the way, her mind was beating and still, and when the car arrived at Shahu County, she heard a voice, a voice from her body: Your trip to Shahu is over, Lin Yawen, get out!

Later, Lin Yawen learned that the Municipal Party Committee and Qi Maolin originally planned to let Fu Shilei participate in this county-level cadre theoretical seminar held by the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, who knew that a Song Yazi made a mistake and let her take Fu Shilei's shortage, no wonder when she reported to the Party School, the teacher in charge of reporting stared at her strangely, and said that you are a woman-

On the day Lin Yawen left Shahu County, Qi Maolin hurried to Beihu. The working groups at the county and township levels were checking the accounts, and the director of the audit bureau thought that Qi Maolin had also come to inspect and supervise, and was about to report, when he heard Qi Maolin say: "Whoever asked you to do these things, go back immediately!" Seeing that his face was not quite right, the chief of the audit bureau did not dare to ask more, and took the person back to the county on the same day. The working group was immediately disbanded, and Qi Maolin fired at Mao Yansong, and Mao Yansong's tears were about to fall. When he finished the fire, Mao Yansong explained aggrievedly: "If such a big thing happens, I, as the head of the township, can't bear the responsibility." ”

"Of course you can't afford it!" Qi Maolin said evilly. Then he went to visit Song Yazi in the hospital, Mao Yansong just rubbed, and he scolded again, "You are grinding and messing up things when you are doing business, you are positive." ”

Mao Yansong didn't dare to say more, and followed Qi Maolin to the hospital. Song Yazi has almost recovered, lying on the hospital bed eating apples, his wife and son are by his side, and the family looks like they have escaped from the catastrophe, which is very sweet. Qi Maolin was infected by the camera in the ward, so he didn't lose his temper anymore, and said to Song Yazi: "It's better to die than to live, people in their forties, they don't understand this reason, and they are still cultured." ”

Song Yazi blushed a few times and lowered her head uneasily. He graduated from high school and failed to pass the university exam several times, so he had to accept his fate, but he loves to read idle books, and he reads books whenever he has free time on weekdays. In Huwan Village, he is also a little intellectual, but unfortunately, he did such a foolish thing. His wife is the kind of person who can't see the world, and when she saw Qi Maolin and Mao Yansong, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stood up, timidly hid aside, and hugged the child tightly in her arms. Qi Maolin said with relief: "It's okay, hurry up and take care of your body, there is a lot of work in the field, waiting for you." ”

When his wife heard it, what the secretary said was no different from what the cropper said, it was very intimate, her heart warmed, her face eased, she wanted to ask something, her mouth opened, and she didn't dare to ask. Qi Maolin explained a few words to the doctor, and told Mao Yansong that the medical expenses were out of the township, so don't be embarrassed by Song culture. After speaking, he took out five hundred yuan and handed it to his wife: "Take it and buy him some supplements." How dare his wife ask for it, she was so frightened that she didn't know where to hide her hands, and then Mao Yansong took the money and put it in his wife's pocket.

Out of the hospital, Qi Maolin sighed and said to Mao Yansong: "Yansong, it's not that I'm angry at you, have you thought about it, if Song Wenhua really has something, you, the township head, can you still be a head?" ”

Mao Yansong lowered his head gloomily, his mood was extremely gloomy on this day, not only Lin Yawen's resignation hurt his heart, but more was his worry about the future of Beihu. He was really frustrated, he originally expected Qi Maolin to cheer him up, but Qi Maolin's attitude was completely different from before, and he couldn't wait to blow out the fire that Beihu was about to ignite in one go, Mao Yansong couldn't help but be pessimistic.

Qi Maolin completely ignored his feelings, and when he came back from the hospital, he held a two-level meeting in the countryside and severely criticized Mao Yansong and Yang Shuhuai, saying that they were nonsense, foolish, and typical no-**ism. After criticizing, he put forward several demands: First, the two levels in the villages must devote their main energies to the current production and must not allow agriculture to suffer. The second is to enforce strict discipline and ensure that the whole county plays a game of chess. Third, the problems left over from Beihu should be under the unified leadership and unified resolution of the county party committee, and it is necessary to persist in carrying out work under the general premise of stability. When he said this, he glanced at Mao Yansong meaningfully, Mao Yansong no longer cared about what Qi Maolin criticized him, and he just thought about one thing in his mind, which day to leave Beihu!

After the meeting, Qi Maolin personally sent Yang Niman home. Yang Niman has been the village party secretary for more than ten years, how can he enjoy this treatment? was excited at the moment, grabbed Qi Maolin's hand and wanted to say something to him. Qi Maolin coldly withdrew his hand and said, "You go back and tell the villagers, if no one listens, tell Beihu." Yang Niman glared at him in astonishment, not understanding the meaning of these words, Qi Maolin hated Yang Niman and glanced at him: "People have to be worthy of their conscience." After speaking, he went to Yang Niman's house first.

On the same day, news came from Nanhu that the working group sent by the provincial department had finished its work, and the 30 million proposed by Chen Genfa was recovered by the working group one by one. Of course, it's not the money that gets back, it's where it goes. According to an audit report later submitted by the working group to the city and county, part of the money was a dead debt, and the prefabricated parts and cement were supplied to several small engineering teams at that time, which are now bankrupt. In addition, more than 10 million prefabricated parts and cement were supplied to the hydropower engineering company, and the accounts are clear, but at present, the hydropower engineering company has been restructured, and this amount is coordinated and recovered by the provincial department.

In the end, the working group came to a conclusion that all the problems were caused by the chaotic management of the flow management office, and recommended that the provincial department deal with Zheng Fengshi, the former legal representative of the flow management office, strictly.

The investigation report did not mention the development company, nor did it mention Hong Guangda. It has been reported that when the provincial department investigated a construction accident, it was found that the boss behind the construction of the No. 3 section of the Yellow River Diversion Project was Hong Guangda, and that the No. 12 aqueduct built by the engineering company collapsed due to quality problems, causing two serious injuries and three minor injuries, and direct economic losses amounting to 13 million yuan. At present, Hong Guangda has been quarantined and censored.

When Lin Yawen heard the news, half a month had passed, and she had been in the party school for two weeks. Two weeks passed in a flash, Lin Yawen's heart had not yet been completely settled, she was in a trance all day long, feeling that she was still in Shahu, and she was just on a business trip to the provincial capital. Sima Gufeng smiled and said: "You look like this, if Secretary Sun Tao knows, I'm afraid he will be sad." ”

"What is he sad about?" Lin Yawen said with emotion.

Sima Gufeng saw that she was still prejudiced against Secretary Sun Tao, and sighed: "You think he is willing to do this, if it weren't for your future, he wouldn't be able to bear to play this game of chess." ”

Lin Yawen chuckled at Sima Gufeng's words, since she came to the party school, Sima Gufeng came to enlighten her and persuade her whenever she had the opportunity, so that she should not misunderstand Secretary Sun Tao and understand his hard work, she was tired of listening to it, she listened to the wood, and she didn't want to listen to it anymore. After class that day, she was about to go home to see Meng Meng, Meng Meng is now studying in the thirteenth middle school, after that setback, Meng Meng's heart is much lower, and she finally knows that she can study seriously. I heard Zhou Qiming say that in the monthly exam that just ended, she got the second and third courses in the grade. Lin Yawen was so unhappy. It's just that Mengmeng still doesn't talk to her, and everything she says is transferred to her through Zhou Qiming, this kid.

As soon as I got out of the school gate, I saw a strong light scene, and the strong light scene was anxiously waiting outside the school gate, and Shui Xiaoli was standing behind me with a sad brow.

"What's going on again?" As soon as she saw the expressions of the two, Lin Yawen knew that something had happened below, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Lin County, Chen Yan is in trouble, he, he ......" Qiang Guangjing stammered.

"What's wrong with Chen Yan?"

"Chen Yan has an article that has been reprinted by a newspaper in Shanghai, which has caused too much movement, and the city is already investigating it." Shui Xiaoli answered.

"What article?" Lin Yawen stared at Shui Xiaoli, and she could hear the sound of her heartbeat.

"About the flow management department, he posted the article on the blog, he didn't think about ......it" Shui Xiaoli's voice lowered, and it could be seen that Chen Yan had caused a lot of trouble, and the two of them came to her for this matter.

Lin Yawen sighed, although the two of them didn't explain it, but she already knew the bottom in her heart, Chen Yan must have poked out everything she saw and heard!

Sure enough, when she arrived at Tongxin Pavilion and saw the newspaper in Shanghai, Lin Yawen's heart sank. The Shanghai newspaper used a large subheadline to post Chen Yan's blog post "Hu Yanghe is Weeping" in a prominent position, and also added an editor's note. Lin Yawen skimmed it roughly, this article can be described as to hit the nail on the head, the words are very sharp, and it is important that he also ripped out the "121" incident and distributed photos!

Looking at that photo, Lin Yawen was speechless, and the past was scene by scene, jumping out and lying in front of her. After "121", she was responsible for cleaning up the scene, and the scene at that time was miserable! It was so dry that a third of the trees in Qingtu Lake fell overnight...... The photo captured by Chen Yan is the scene of a large poplar forest being put down.

The poplar is crying!

"Now that this article has spread all over the Internet, the province is in an emergency, several directors of the Propaganda Department are in Hexi, and Minister Song has also been suspended." Qiang Guangjing said again.

"What does this have to do with Lao Song?" Lin Yawen suddenly became angry.

"They said that it was the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee that did not do a good job, and the negative effect of this article was too great."

"What positive effects and negative effects, they are all ......" Lin Yawen almost said the radical words. After being silent for a while, she said: "Secretary Sun Tao's attitude, if this happens, I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of it." ”

"Secretary Sun is in the province to make a special review of this matter." Qiang Guangjing said.

Lin Yawen didn't say anything more, what could she say? It seems that Chen Yan has made a big deal this time. Shui Xiaoli went on to say that Chen Yan's blog has a high hit-through rate, and several forums he hosts are also very popular. He posted a lot of articles on his blog, including the whole process of the "121" incident.

"He also posted the story of the eight old men besieging Secretary Feng Qiao, and posted three photos, and at present, this article is reposted everywhere on the Internet, and there are tens of thousands of posts."

Although Lin Yawen doesn't know much about the Internet, she still feels the power of the Internet from Shui Xiaoli and Qiang Guangjing's words.

"He's crazy!" She said so in her heart.

"No, he's not crazy, it's the world that's crazy." She added.

On this day, Lin Yawen couldn't go to see Mengmeng, and after talking to Shui Xiaoli and Qiang Guangjing, she hurriedly went to the Huadu Hotel to find Secretary Sun Tao. Although she has opinions about Secretary Sun Tao, at this time, she still sweats for Secretary Sun Tao's fate, thinking about it, it is really not easy for him.

There was no one in the room, and the hotel lobby waited for more than an hour before Secretary Sun Tao called, saying that he was really sorry that he couldn't meet, and he had to go back to the city urgently.

Lin Yawen asked tactfully, "This won't have much impact on you, right?" Secretary Sun Tao said: "Now is not the time to think about me personally, Yawen, it's still the same sentence, the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, it seems that this time it can't be suppressed." ”

The severity of the situation was far more serious than Lin Yawen expected, Lin Yawen returned home, the first thing was to turn on the computer, just enter the word Chen Yan, and a large list of related searches popped up, all related to the Hu Yanghe. Lin Yawen opened a report, which was a report from People's Daily Online, which not only reprinted the report of the newspaper in Shanghai, but also forwarded several articles from Chen Yan's blog. Behind it is a long string of followers. Netizens were indignant, and the posts were more intense than one another, revealing strong dissatisfaction with ** in their words. One of the netizens appealed: Stop your sinful hands and let the Huyang River be green for a few more days! The other post is even more violent: who is defiling the Mother River, and who is robbing us of our green?

Lin Yawen was deeply shocked, she didn't pay much attention to the Internet before, and she has always had a sense of contempt for things from the Internet, thinking that the Internet is a game for boring people, and it is a place for everyone to relieve boredom. This time, she was in awe of the Internet, and even couldn't help but rise up a wave of worship, yes, these words, these words, can only be seen in the Internet!

She really wants to post a post in the past, she believes that she has the most right to speak and the most profound feelings about Hu Yanghe! But she couldn't help it, no matter how excited she was in her heart, at the critical moment, she still thought that she was a county magistrate!

The mobile phone rang, Lin Yawen connected, and Sima Gufeng's voice came from the other side of the phone: "I'm surfing the Internet." ”

Lin Yawen laughed and said, "I'm on it too." ”

"I made the post." Sima Gufeng said.

"I didn't send it." Lin Yawen said.

"I know you won't send it." Sima Gufeng's voice was like a little boy, but Lin Yawen's voice was too calm, and after a while, he said again: "Do you know why you don't dare to post it, because you are a loser." ”

Lin Yawen was stabbed by this sentence, and just when she was stunned, Sima Gufeng said again: "In fact, all people are losers, don't look at Chen Yan stirring up such a wave, but it's just a wave, the waves flash, and everything is calm again." The world won't change anything because of a cliché, so you'd better be sober. ”

Lin Yawen was speechless. Originally, she wanted to go into Chen Yan's blog to sneak around, but Sima Gufeng's frustrating words made her boiling blood freeze.

Why does this strange old man always say something depressing!

Lin Yawen turned off the computer, sat on the chair in a daze, about the poplar river, about the flow pipe, gradually far away in her mind.

The situation in Hexi City is a different story, the authoritative newspaper in Shanghai published two consecutive issues of Chen Yan's articles, so that the "121" incident, which has been forgotten by the people, resurrected again, because after the "121" incident, the relevant departments of the province failed to make a final decision, and the relevant responsible persons were not held accountable, Chen Yan also rendered the "121" and the subsequent Nanhu deforestation incident in the article, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Shahu County and the flow management office immediately became a hot topic of news. The Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking that after all, it was one or two media, and it couldn't become a climate. Only then did the higher-ups realize that something was wrong.

The two division chiefs had held several meetings in Hexi City one after another, and all the remedial measures that should have been taken were taken, and Song Hanwen was also dismissed from his post as propaganda minister, and the turmoil did not ease because of this; on the contrary, public opinion was still one-sided; just when the two division chiefs were urgently seeking new methods, a newspaper with a large circulation in the south made an in-depth report on the "121" and Nanhu incidents, and the storm set off again, and this time it was even more violent, and there was a great tendency to be unstoppable.

In view of the current situation, Secretary Sun Tao put forward three requirements: First, the city and county levels should take public opinion supervision seriously, take public opinion supervision as the driving force, improve the work style, and clarify the work ideas. In particular, it is necessary to make new breakthroughs and achievements in alleviating the major problem of ecological deterioration in the Populus euphratica River Basin. Second, it is necessary to stabilize the thinking of the masses, especially the thinking of the contingent of cadres, not to lose their stance and confidence because of criticism by the news media, and to rise to the occasion. Third, a special working group has been set up to go deep into the north and south lakes to concentrate on solving some thorny and sensitive issues. Zhu Tiancheng, who had just been announced as acting mayor five days ago, had the opposite opinion of Secretary Sun Tao, saying: "We welcome supervision by public opinion, but it depends on what kind of supervision it is. In this regard, we must not only not be afraid, but also stand up with a clear stand and resolutely fight against those who create malicious rumors and spread them. ”

"Tiancheng." As soon as Secretary Sun Tao heard that his new partner had just taken office, he sang a contrarian tune and reminded on the side.

Zhu Tiancheng ignored Secretary Sun Tao and continued: "My personal opinion, first, instruct the relevant departments to quickly find Chen Yan himself, although he is no longer working in Hexi City, but he is still a reporter trained by our Hexi City, and he is responsible for his hometown. Second, the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee must remain calm, must not be confused by the Internet and bad media, and must come up with corresponding measures as soon as possible to do a good job of positive publicity. Third, we must seriously deal with individual people, especially leading cadres, who are hidden behind the incident, and never tolerate them. Speaking of this, he glanced at the venue, cleared his throat, and continued: "I firmly believe that with a single statement, we cannot afford to make such a big wave with such a strong wind, and some people violate the principles of the organization by providing false information and data to Chen Yan without authorization, and let this person who has left the news unit concoct some fake news, and then process the complaints of the common people and post them on the Internet to deceive, we resolutely cannot tolerate such behavior, and we must investigate and investigate according to law." We must not let go of those who have ulterior motives. ”

Zhu Tiancheng's voice became louder and louder, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and later, he became angry at the entire venue. Secretary Sun Tao knew that he couldn't stop him, so he simply left the venue on the grounds of drinking medicine. As soon as he got out of the conference room, he dialed the phone of Secretary Hailin of the Provincial Party Committee: "Secretary Hailin, I can't control the situation, Comrade Tiancheng confronted me so quickly." ”

"Won't it?" On the other side of the phone, there was Secretary Hailin's puzzled voice.

"Do you want me to take my phone inside, and listen to what he has to say?" Secretary Sun Tao also had a feeling of discouragement. Originally, he didn't want to have this meeting, and he didn't want to stop any news. There are some things that should be spread when it is time to be spread. Two days ago, he was in the provincial capital, and he also told Secretary Hailin that Secretary Hailin criticized him, saying that he had lost his position and should not treat his work with such a negative attitude. He asked at the time: "What is negative, what is positive, Secretary Hailin, I am really confused now." Unexpectedly, Secretary Hailin did not criticize him again, but he did not comfort him, but just said very principledly: "We must always remember a principle, you and I are the party secretary, and maintaining the party's image is the first responsibility." ”

These words made him ponder for a long time, and it is said that there is such a big opposition and criticism from top to bottom against Feng Qiao and the person behind him, Secretary Hailin will not hear it, nor will he not feel it. In previous conversations, Secretary Hailin also sighed many times, and his words fully revealed the trouble that this matter had for him, why did Secretary Hailin first think of stability and cover up for them at a critical moment? Yes, cover-up. Up to now, Sun Tao has been very sure that everything Secretary Hailin has done is to cover up for Feng Qiao and them.

Doesn't he really want to lift the lid, or?

"Did you hear me?" On the other side of the phone, Secretary Hailin's reproach sounded, Sun Tao hurriedly put away his thoughts, and said in a disrespectful tone: "Comrade Tiancheng's voice is too loud, and the whole building is his voice." ”

"Forget it, I'll talk to him later."

The phone was hung up, but Sun Tao's heart was always hanging. Zhu Tiancheng yelled at him and went against him, this is something that he has expected a long time ago, don't be surprised, the question is, he is also helping them calm down the turmoil, can they really do whatever they want and turn a deaf ear to the overwhelming accusations?

Who can tell?

He suddenly remembered what Zhao Xianyong, secretary general of the provincial party committee, said: "Anything can happen, and what outcome may also occur. ”

It's hard to say.

Then don't talk about it!

Sun Tao suddenly had a new idea, how to calm down the turmoil and how to control the situation, simply handed it over to Zhu Tiancheng. As for himself, he just wants to be an idler!

As soon as the meeting ended, he rushed to the provincial capital with comrades from the propaganda department, and two days later, to everyone's surprise, the second page of the provincial newspaper published a special report on the eight old men who had been fighting in the depths of the desert for many years, fighting with the sky and the earth, controlling sand and planting trees, and building shelter forests. The provincial newspaper also added a commentator's article, the article pointed out that the desert is the natural enemy of human beings, and in this epic contest between man and sand, many heroes have emerged, who are the pride of this era and worthy of our special mention!

As soon as the article was published, it immediately caused repercussions, and no one expected that Zhu Tiancheng would have such an amazing move! The publicity storm that the city and county levels did not set off with so much effort made him easily set off. Holding the provincial newspaper of the day, Sun Tao was shocked, Qi Maolin was shocked, and Lin Yawen was even more shocked and couldn't believe it. Thinking of the before and after of this incident, a layer of confusion suddenly welled up in her heart, why, why?

The next day, several newspapers in the province simultaneously published a series of reports on the struggle between the eight old men and the desert, and the drafts were all written in the past, and all newspapers had them, but they were notified at the beginning and could not publish them, but now the Propaganda Department has come with a new notice, and it is necessary to go all out to fight this battle of public opinion. With a positive attitude, all newspapers vied to be the protagonists of this tough battle.

Lin Yawen was silent. She didn't go to class that day, and stood alone under the elm forest on campus, full of thoughts. She suddenly felt that the world was like a magic bottle, many things, many people, and she could never see clearly with her naked eyes. It started to rain, the sky was still clear at noon, and the clouds rose at some point, and when Lin Yawen felt the coolness, the rain had fallen one after another, hitting her slightly trembling shoulders.

Sima Gufeng didn't have classes that day, and when Lin Yawen was standing in a daze in the autumn rain, he was also in a daze in the office. Sima Gufeng is rarely in a daze, he thinks he can see through everything in the world, he thinks he has played the world in the palm of his hand, large and small disputes, intricate battles, in his eyes, all become a kind of nature, become an unavoidable reality. For this reason, he also acts as the think tank of Lin Yawen and Secretary Sun Tao, and often guides them through the maze. Who knows, Zhu Tiancheng's small action dazzled him, and he was not sure about the current situation.

Sima Gufeng was depressed.

Looking at the large pile of newspapers in front of him, he sighed to himself, I can't read it, I really can't read it.

What I really can't understand is the second step that Zhu Tiancheng followed closely.

When the media in the province began to publicize sand control and afforestation, Zhu Tiancheng came to the flow management office with a group of people, and Qiao Renshan, who had received a notice from the provincial department, greeted him, Qiao Renshan's expression was gloomy, not as enthusiastic and excited as Zhu Tiancheng expected, Zhu Tiancheng didn't care about this, these years, walking around in the officialdom, what kind of face he had seen, he didn't care who was cold and who was hot, what he cared about, just how to do things well, do it according to his own will, do it perfectly, and do it so that the opponent has no room to fight back. He asked Qiao Renshan: "Everyone has been drawn?" ”

"It's all right." Qiao Renshan replied.

"Notification of a meeting." Zhu Tiancheng's voice was also cold, but there was authority in the cold, although Qiao Renshan was not under the control of the city, in the face of Zhu Tiancheng, he still instinctively showed obedience. Half an hour later, the joint meeting was held at the flow management office, and Zhu Tiancheng later explained to Sun Tao about this meeting: "At the critical moment, there should be strong measures, otherwise, what else do we want to do?" ”

The meeting was attended by two section chiefs of the Propaganda Department, deputy editor-in-chief of the city newspaper, director of the Policy Research Office, director of the Foreign Propaganda Office, Qin Feng in the county, and reporters from the Broadcasting Bureau and TV station. In order to show solemnity, the provincial department also specially sent two big secretaries, as well as the president of the provincial hydropower construction newspaper. In short, on this day, the flow management office is full of stars and talents.

Zhu Tiancheng glanced at the venue, and said in a loud voice: "As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, how urgent the current situation is, I don't need to say more, everyone must know it in their hearts." This time, we have only one task to publicize the flow management office, the relationship between the flow management office and the people of Sha Township for many years, and especially the great contribution made by the flow management office to the cause of desertification control in supporting local economic construction. We should divide labor and cooperate in accordance with the predetermined plan, cooperate closely, and strive to accomplish this major strategic task entrusted to us by the provincial party committee in the shortest possible time. I just want to emphasize one point here, unify thinking, do more and talk less. ”

When he finished speaking, it was very simple, but it really worked, and everyone here listened to it, and their hearts suddenly felt heavy. Especially Qin Feng, this time Zhu Tiancheng did not let Minister Qiang Guangjing participate, and named him to take charge, which made him feel even more responsible. On the same day, he wrote a special article entitled "A Hundred Years of Vicissitudes of Life, a Green Flag", which was published in three media in the province the next day.

At this point, Zhu Tiancheng's first two axes have been chopped, and next, he wants to cut Chen Yan. He doesn't believe that a statement can turn things upside down?

However, when he returned to the city, the news that awaited him was that Chen Yan was not in the city, and he couldn't find anyone everywhere.

"He can evaporate, what about his wife, let his wife find it!" Saying that, he was going to call Chen Yan's wife's unit, and at this time, whatever measures worked, whatever measures worked, he would come. He remembered that Jiang Shasha had asked him for Chen Yan and Shui Xiaoli at the beginning, but later Jiang Shasha asked someone to change jobs, but he didn't agree.

The deputy director of the Propaganda Department, who was in charge of looking for Chen Yan, said with a red face: "Mayor Zhu, Chen Yan is divorced, we asked Jiang Shasha, and she doesn't know where Chen Yan went. ”

"Divorced, didn't he get divorced once?" Somehow, Zhu Tiancheng asked a lot of questions this day, especially when it came to Jiang Shasha. His questioning made the vice minister stammered several times, and later the vice minister figured out that Jiang Shasha and Zhu Tiancheng were still a little related in the song, as if Jiang Shasha called Zhu Tiancheng a cousin-in-law. This is an afterword, and if you can't find Chen Yan, you can't let this spoof stop. Zhu Tiancheng believes that Chen Yan is venting his personal anger, a man who has no love for his family and no sense of responsibility, and a man who dumps his wife twice, is by no means a good character. He said angrily: "It is our sorrow to let such people engage in journalism!" ”

"What about Shui Xiaoli, is she still messing with Chen Yan now? Ask her, you'll have to find a way to get him to show up. Zhu Tiancheng said again.

The deputy minister hurriedly went to find Shui Xiaoli, and two hours later he reported to Zhu Tiancheng that Shui Xiaoli was no longer in the evening newspaper and could not find her.

"Play the piano!"

Shui Xiaoli left the evening newspaper half a month ago, and it was also for the flow management office. Shui Xiaoli received a letter of complaint from Chen Gen, in which it was revealed that the investigation team of the Department of Water Resources was hiding from the world and checking accounts, but it was actually making false accounts for others. They secretly invited accountants to redo the accounts of the flow management office for several years, and put all the money they could not find in the accounts, and the other party was a hydropower engineering company. Chen Genfa also provided Shui Xiaoli with the name of the unit and accountant who made the false accounts. Shui Xiaoli found the accounting firm according to this address, and asked them questions euphemistically, but the other party was annoyed on the spot without thinking about it, scolding her for making something out of nothing and hearsay.

Shui Xiaoli was unwilling, and found an accountant surnamed Luo, who was a middle-aged woman, and this time the Water Conservancy Department audited the accounts, and the accounting firm asked her to participate, and she asked for sick leave after she came back, and did not go to work again. After listening to Shui Xiaoli's question, Accountant Luo hesitated for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Water reporter, you'd better not inquire about this matter, you are young and have your own future, don't hit nails in these meaningless things." ”

"How is it pointless? This is a typical example of hiding from the world and hiding people's eyes, and what they take away is the hard-earned money of the workers. Shui Xiaoli has now become as excited as Chen Yan, she can't help but be excited, when she thinks about what she has experienced at this stage, what she has seen and heard, her heart can't help but roar.

Accountant Luo sighed: "You are still young, and when you reach my age, I am afraid that you will not be so angry about these things." After speaking, she asked Shui Xiaoli to leave: "I'm sorry, I can't keep you for a long time, if you are really interested, you should go to the flow pipe and ask." ”

Shui Xiaoli came to the flow pipe for the second time, and asked to see her several times before sitting with Qiao Renshan. Qiao Renshan was very low that day, and his words revealed the loss and loneliness that he had never felt before, although he didn't talk to Shui Xiaoli about the investigation team specifically, but he said a word that Shui Xiaoli remembered firmly.

"It's a black well at the flow pipe, it's too deep."

Based on this, Shui Xiaoli decided that the problems reported by Chen Genfa must exist, and the problems existing in the flow management department are by no means one or two, and she wrote a letter to the leaders of the newspaper with a heavy heart, in which she wrote the problems reflected by Chen Genfa and her own investigation, and she asked the newspaper to organize forces and quickly intervene in the investigation of this matter. Unexpectedly, a week after the letter was sent, she received a phone call asking her to rush to the provincial capital. Shui Xiaoli rushed to the provincial capital and learned that the newspaper had made a decision to send her to the most remote area of the province, where the station had just been built and was lacking in strength. Shui Xiaoli didn't agree, and the leader of the newspaper also told the truth: "Since you don't obey the organization's deployment, I have no choice but to ask you to leave the newspaper." ”

Shui Xiaoli didn't quarrel or quarrel, returned to Hexi gloomily, packed up her things, and walked out of the reporter station. That day, her mood was extremely gloomy, she couldn't tell whether it was sadness or despair, anyway, she felt that she no longer had enthusiasm, she remembered the enthusiasm she had for journalism, and the urge to dedicate herself to justice and ideals, and couldn't help but smile. After laughing, I suddenly cried.

Shui Xiaoli cried so much that she was not afraid, after crying, she wiped away her tears and vowed never to have illusions about anything again, and she would never touch the news again in this life, and she would not be a reporter!

Shui Xiaoli is now hiding in a place where no one can find her, she has become very dazed when she loses her job, and even more dazed, she doesn't know who to give herself to? She has openly shown her love to Qiang Guangjing, and on the night she went to find Lin Yawen with him, she was in a hotel in the provincial capital. Shui Xiaoli originally planned to give herself to Qiang Guangjing completely, but she didn't want Qiang Guangjing to gently push her away, and threw her a very hopeless and empty sentence sadly: "Impossible, Xiaoli, you and I are not suitable, I am not the kind of avant-garde man, I can't escape my marriage." ”

Yes, he can't escape, she has to escape.

But will she be able to escape?

She didn't know, she really didn't.

By the Yellow River in the provincial capital, in a dilapidated courtyard, Chen Yan stands by a tree. The autumn wind blew on the old locust tree, and the leaves made a rattling sound, and a few pieces fell and fell on his shoulders. No one thought that Chen Yan would nest in the provincial capital, in such a dilapidated small courtyard. Even he himself is afraid that he can't think of it.

The past was like the wind, blowing through with a bang, making his heart tremble, thinking about everything that happened in life, Chen Yan felt that life was really as absurd as a dream, and it was impossible to grasp.

Two months ago, Chen Yan was still in Shenzhen, and a media outlet in Shenzhen found him on the Internet and wanted to invite him to join. Chen Yan was very happy and went without hesitation. The two sides talked very well, it was a new newspaper, everything was in its infancy, but it didn't matter, Chen Yan was used to living from scratch, and the newspaper's proposition was very clear, pay attention to the life of the bottom, pay attention to the hot spots of people's livelihood, discover new problems with new vision, and put forward new ideas with new thinking. In a word, the newspaper wanted to break the confines of traditional media and open up a new channel in the fierce competition in the newspaper industry. This is exactly what Chen Yan wants.

Chen Yan worked very hard there, and after a month, he was promoted to deputy director of the Focus News Department, although he was not too familiar with the open city, but he was familiar with the great northwest, and he used the news resources of the great northwest to enrich the layout of that newspaper, and also enriched the reader's reading and imagination. At the same time, he continues his online career, two forums and his own blog, which is another world for him, and Chen Yan cannot give up. Friends in the Northwest Circle continue to provide him with information, and provide him with absurd, grotesque or funny news events that occur on this thick soil in the Northwest, especially **, which has become his most effective helper. He agreed with ** that he must use the platform of the Internet to beat himself out first, and then seek new development space.

If it weren't for Jiang Shasha, Chen Yan wouldn't have come back so soon.

The marriage with Jiang Shasha is really unsustainable, and there is no need to maintain it. Divorce is the ending that Chen Yan has seen a long time ago, but he didn't expect that the breakup would be proposed by Jiang Shasha, she seemed to be urging, for fear that he would come a day late and delay her bright future. Chen Yan thought to himself that it was okay, the long pain was better than the short pain, rather than the two of them suffering each other, it was better to pick up the knife quickly and settle the matter with one knife.

Jiang Shasha had already had an affair, and it was no secret to him, and Jiang Shasha had no intention of hiding it from him. Once when he came back from the desert, she and the man simply slept on his bed generously, without any shyness or fear, but made Chen Yan angry, not angry, and uncomfortable all night. The next day, he said to Jiang Shasha: "Don't worry, summon the wild man so soon, and I'm not afraid that I will kill you." ”

Jiang Shasha smiled gently: "Then you can survive, see who can survive whom?" ”

It turns out that Jiang Shasha still can't get through it, no, he didn't plan to start boiling her up, she was in a hurry, and Chen Yan was also looking forward to her being anxious, otherwise, it would be really difficult to get it over.

They did it very happily, they didn't make any noise, they simply divided the property, and then went to the street to do it, handed over the marriage certificate, got a green book, and the two had nothing to do with each other anymore.

Chen Yan breathed a long sigh of relief that day, as if a sleepwalking had finally ended.

After the divorce, Chen Yan was planning to go back to Shenzhen, but the newspaper suddenly called, saying that he didn't have to go back, and that he would stay in the mainland first to see if the mainland market could expand soon. On the same day, Chen Yan learned that the articles on his blog had been selected by many newspapers, and a Chen Yan storm had been rolled up. Looking at the turmoil on the Internet, Chen Yan's laughter drowned himself.

Because of the divorce, Chen Yan didn't see such exciting news in the first time, if he saw it, perhaps, he would be more generous, so that Jiang Shasha could get more benefits in the division of property.

The incident of Shahu can arouse such a big response on the Internet, Chen Yan did not expect it. Although I had this dream in the past and fantasized about setting off a major earthquake, I have never dared to shake out this problem because of the lack of first-hand information and insufficient evidence. It's just a trial, I wrote a few articles on the blog, and I was right to ask for directions, but I didn't think about it, and I asked the right question. At that moment, he excitedly called **: "It's on fire, **, it's on fire." ”

"What's on fire?" **Ask. **Still in the desert,**After resigning, it was also a big turn before returning to the same place. He is a more stubborn person than Chen Yan, and wherever he goes, he feels that his footsteps are still in Hexi, in the place where he once lived and fought. Later, he realized that it was not that he couldn't get out of Hexi and Shahu, but that the knot in his heart had not been untied. People carry heavy loads, they can't walk, a rope is tied to the heart, and they have to be brought back wherever they go. Hu Yanghe has left a deep imprint on these little literati, leaving too much precipitation. The heavy stories that happened at the flow management office and the two lakes in the north and south have trapped them like a nightmare, and this curtain cannot be opened, and wherever they go, they feel that they are deserters, not reclamationists.

Come back then.

**It's even more ridiculous than Chen Yan, after returning from the field, he plunged into the sand lake, and he didn't want to come out again, such a stirring thing happened in the outside world, and he, the party, didn't know anything! When he ran out of Beihu and ran back to the provincial capital, he saw the snowflakes-like follow-ups, and the tidal response of netizens, ** wooden, stayed, for a long time, and said with wet eyes: "There is hope, Chen Yan, there is hope." ”

**The words are from the heart, over the years, he has heard a lot of things in the journalist industry, and has interviewed a lot of people, some things are simply shocking and outrageous, but in the end, it can never be done. **I thought, this time, there should always be a result, right?

"yes, there's hope." Chen Yan was also full of emotion, his eyes were wet at some point, and his heart was also tidal. Thinking about the road he has traveled, and thinking about the efforts made to interview Nanhu and explore the truth of the "121" incident, he thinks, it is not easy for reporters to have a bowl of rice.

After some emotion, Chen Yan divided labor with **, went to Shahu, and tried his best to investigate the inside of Beihu's land sale. A single South Lake can't make much noise. As for him, he will continue to stay in the provincial capital, pay close attention to the movements on the Internet, and add new articles at any time. This year, Chen Yan wrote a lot of articles about Nanhu, about the flow management office, and Huyang River, he carefully screened it with **, picked out a few, and the two decided to carry out this just battle to the end.

Chen Yan had rented a suite in the News Building, which was both his office and the temporary office of the newspaper in the south in the northwest. ** I don't think it's appropriate, I have to move to the suburbs.

"At times like these, you should be careful." After all, he is older and thinks more than he does.

Chen Yan felt that **'s reminder made sense, and after thinking about it, he followed ** to this small courtyard. The small courtyard was originally a friend's, and the friend now lives in the downtown area, and this room is empty, which just comes in handy. Although it is quiet, it is very suitable for reading and writing, and it is on the edge of the Yellow River, and you can hear the surging water of the Yellow River when you go out.

Compared with the bitterness and loneliness in life, the support and echo of the outside world gave Chen Yan great comfort. In the past few days, many colleagues have congratulated him and are willing to work with him to use the pen in their hands to bring justice to the more than 1,000 laid-off workers of the flow management office and the people of Shahu. The media in Tianjin, Chongqing and other places also competed to ask him for a manuscript, and it seemed that the silent Huyang River was really about to erupt.

Who knew that just when Chen Yan was secretly happy, the provincial newspaper published the important article, and other media in the province immediately echoed, and Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

Don't?

Standing under the old locust tree, loneliness hit him again. **It's been a few days since I left the provincial capital, and there has been no feedback. Shui Xiaoli can't inquire about it now, she only knows that she is no longer working in the evening newspaper, and Chen Yan has no way of knowing where she went. Qiang Guangjing called him once, and when he listened to his tone, his mood was not very good, and he was very low. It seems that the other side is really going to take tough measures against them.

Don't be afraid, and you can't be afraid!

Standing silently in the courtyard for a long time, Chen Yan turned back into the house, re-energized himself, turned on the computer, and wanted to post an article he wrote during the day on the forum, but who knew that an accident had happened.

The two forums he was on were blocked!

Chen Yan was stunned in front of the computer, feeling that he had been given a heavy stick, which made his brain dizzy. How could it be, how could it be?

He withdrew, re-entered, and after several times in a row, he fell back in despair, cursing a foul word in his heart. After sitting stunned for a moment, he grabbed the phone and wanted to tell ** tightly, who knows** turned off.

This accident hit him hard, a wave of frustration welled up, the confidence that was still there just now receded in an instant, and Chen Yan felt a thick darkness pressing down.

The next day, Chen Yan received a call from **. ** Sentimental Bad Words: "They smashed my camera, snatched my interview bag, and kicked me out of North Lake. ”

"Who?" Chen Yan asked in shock.

"Who else could it be, Hong Guangda's man."

"Didn't Hong Guangda go in, why, let it out again?" Chen Yan's voice tightened.

"Hong Guangda is in, the development company is still there, this time, there is a more ruthless one than Hong Guangda, called Long Liu."

"Ryurochi?" Chen Yan searched desperately, but there was really no one named Long Liu in his mind, "What is the background of this person?" He asked again.

"What else is the background? Chen Yan, it's difficult, you have to be careful. After speaking, ** hung up the phone, and didn't tell Chen Yan, where is he now, do you want to continue to work?

Chen Yan's heart became even darker, standing in the small courtyard, he repeatedly chanted the names of Hong Guangda and Long Liu, it seems that the sale of land in Beihu is really related to Hong Guangda, or, there is more than one Hong Guangda!

Chen Yan decided to find out this Long Liu first, and the Water Conservancy Department sent Long Liu as the manager of the development company at this time, the purpose was by no means simple, and there must be a big article in ambush. Moreover, after Hong Guangda was imprisoned, there has been no follow-up until now, such a big engineering accident occurred in Hongda Construction Company, and the relevant parties have not disclosed the investigation of the incident so far.

Chen Yan ran around the provincial capital for a few days, relying on a few friends in the reporter's circle, and finally found out that Long Liu's real name is not called Long Liu, but Long Xiaoliu, who was first a cadre in the Materials Department of the Water Resources Department, and was later promoted to the director of the procurement department of the Materials Department.

After inquiring about Feng Liu's true background, Chen Yan decided to rush to Beihu in person. If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? Now it seems that North Lake and South Lake are entangled, and they are all related to the development company!

Chen Yan packed his bags and was about to go out, when the courtyard door was pushed open, and three people came in, looking strange in front of him.

"Who are you looking for?" Chen Yan asked.

"Don't look for anyone, just take a look." Said one of the big men.

"This is a private house, please leave." Chen Yan felt that these three people were not good, especially the short man, with a fierce face.

"You're Chenyan, aren't you?" The short man asked as he took out his cigarette, and the big man on the side hurriedly took out the lighter and lit it for him. He took a puff and poofed, spitting the smoke on Chen Yan's face.

"You-"

"What's the matter, aren't you convinced?" The big man who lit a cigarette asked.

Chen Yan realized who the other party was, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call the police. I heard the short man say, "I don't like it when I throw that away." As soon as the short man's words landed, Chen Yan's mobile phone was snatched away by the other party, and the big man who spoke at the beginning threw the mobile phone at his feet, stepped on it hard, and Chen Yan heard the sound of the mobile phone shattering.

"Invite him into the house." After the short man finished speaking, he kicked the door open, and entered the house by himself, Chen Yan still wanted to resist, but where was he an opponent, the two big men put up one of his arms and easily put him into the house.

"Reporter Chen, how are you doing lately?" The short man sat on the couch and asked with a smile.

"It's none of your business!" Chen Yan hated him.

"Hehe, it's hard to talk about it, give him some greeting gifts, and tell him how to talk to others." The short man said, glancing at the two bodyguards, and in an instant, a burst of mouth fell towards Chen Yan, Chen Yan was beaten so much that his eyes were golden, and his mouth and nose were bloody.

"Robbers, rascals!" He struggled and shouted, and more punches and kicks were thrown at him.

Only then did Chen Yan realize that the other party had come to the door to teach him a lesson.

After a burst of attacks, Chen Yan was trampled in front of the short man, "Kneel!" The big man with a heavy hand yelled at him. Chen Yan struggled to resist and wanted to stand up, but the other party kicked him hard, and his knees fell to the ground in pain.

"This is like words, how can you see my black five and not kneel?" The short man's words were full of cold.

"You scoundrels, thugs, I won't let you go!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." The black old five suddenly stretched out his foot, and the leather shoes stepped Chen Yan's face: "Say, do you want to do more?" ”

Chen Yan could still speak, he felt that his face was going to be broken, his head was going to be broken, his mouth was open, and he couldn't shout a word for a long time.

"Smash me!" I heard the sound of ping-pong, the computer in the room was broken, the laptop in the bag was also broken, the video camera, the camera, everything that could be broken was all broken. The other party was still not satisfied, so he took out a large stack of manuscripts from Chen Yan and took out a lighter, "Believe it or not, I lit this house with a fire and burned you to ashes?" The big man with the mustache threatened viciously, and then clicked, lit the lighter, and the flames burst up, and a faint stream of green smoke drifted into Chen Yan's nose.

Chen Yan closed his eyes in pain, the manuscript was his ten years of hard work, and the novel was completed in five drafts, and Chen Yan was counting on it to become famous. As soon as the computer was destroyed, the printed manuscript was incinerated again, and Chen Yan's ten years of hard work were completely reduced to ashes.

Chen Yan was almost in despair. divorced Jiang Shasha, and the manuscript was almost burned, but I didn't think that it would not be able to escape in the end.

"Hong Guangda, I won't let you go!" He let out a wolf howl in his heart.

That's not all, after they smashed it, they taught Chen Yanmei a lesson again, and then left.

Almost at the same time, Lin Yawen was also threatened by unknown forces. Half a month ago, in response to everything Zhu Tiancheng had done, Lin Yawen urgently sent a letter to Secretary Hailin of the Provincial Party Committee, asking him to take decisive measures to stop this deceptive propaganda. She said in the letter: "The promotion of the Eight Old Men was originally proposed by me, and the deeds of the Eight Old Men can be sung and cried, and it cannot be exaggerated to publicize them. In this way, I resolutely oppose the use of the eight old men to cover up for others and whitewash their mistakes, which is not only unfair to the eight old men, but also unfair to Shahu and Huyang River! ”

Lin Yawen pointed out without evasion in the letter that some people connived at Hong Guangda and did whatever they wanted in the Huyang River Valley, and now they are afraid that the matter will be exposed, and they want to use the eight old men and Zhu Tiancheng to whitewash themselves. Can the provincial party committee tolerate this kind of behavior?

Secretary Hailin did not give her any reply.

Lin Yawen was unwilling, and just when she decided to report the situation to Secretary Hailin for the second time, she received a threatening phone call, and someone threatened her with her daughter!

Lin Yawen is stupid!

Later, she received a call from Zhao Xianyong, secretary general of the provincial party committee, Zhao Xianyong's voice was dim, and there seemed to be something unspeakable. Lin Yawen asked a few words, and then he said: "I'm leaving the provincial party committee compound and going to a new job." In addition......" Speaking of this, Zhao Xianyong suddenly stopped speaking.

Lin Yawen had already felt something, and her heart was in her throat, for fear of hearing some terrible news again. At this time, Zhao Xianyong said in a deep voice: "Comrade Yawen, Secretary Hailin has resigned from the Central Committee. ”
