At noon on the second day after the end of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Fenfang took advantage of the gap in foreign affairs activities to invite Jin Qiming to the European Hotel for a talk, introduced the situation at the Standing Committee, and complained that Jin Qiming was not thoughtful and acted too ruthlessly, leaving her little room for maneuver. Jin Qiming listened to Zhao Fenfang's introduction, but he thought that although the reorganization plan of the Sanyuan Group was unexpected and expected, it was actually manipulated by Quansheng, Liu Chongtian, and Zhou Shanben, so he had to admit the reality. Putting aside the idea of eating the Blue Sky Group, Jin Qiming changed the topic again and asked Zhao Fenfang to find a way to grant the 500 acres of municipal ** planning land near the Xinwei Seaside International Resort to the pyramid. Zhao Fenfang was not in a good mood, waved her hand and said, it is not easy to do it now, let's talk about it when she does it one day. With that, Zhao Fenfang hurriedly left the hotel.

Until then, Jin Qiming still believed that Zhao Fenfang would be the number one leader in Jingzhou sooner or later, and it was in order to implement the problem of Zhao Fenfang's number one leader, that after Jin Qiming left the European Hotel, he secretly learned about Xiao Bing's situation through a secretary of a senior leader in Beijing, mainly to know: How much influence does Xiao Bing have on his father? Can you really successfully send Zhao Fenfang to the position of secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee? After Xiao Bing was arrested in the pyramid, he, like Zhao Fenfang, decided that Beijing was going to interfere, but he didn't expect that three days had passed, and he still hadn't heard any movement, so he was a little suspicious of Xiao Bing's influence on his father. Jin Qiming thought at the time: If Xiao Bing's influence on his father is not big enough, he can consider coming forward to help with the influence of the side through the network, even if he spends some more money.

It is worth doing this, facts have proved that Zhao Fenfang is no worse than Bai Keshu, and he is dedicated to the pyramid group, and after reaching a tacit understanding, he immediately made a public speech on the bankruptcy of the blue sky group according to his request, and put forward a plan for the reorganization of the pyramid according to his will, and even invited him to the Standing Committee to talk, I am afraid that even Bai Keshu will not do so well. This female mayor is undoubtedly smart, whose cadre is she now? Who to rely on? Who is it for? How is it served? I know it all. Jin Qiming believes that as long as Zhao Fenfang becomes the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee as she wishes, a new era belonging to the pyramid will begin.

Five hours later, however, a call came from Beijing: the party and state leader did not have a son named Xiao Bing at all! As for the so-called Old District Foundation, it is an illegal money-collecting organization, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security are investigating it.

After answering this call, Jin Qiming was stunned, he never dreamed that things would be such a result! Xiao Bing dared to swagger and deceive under the banner of that party and state leader! The dignified mayor Zhao Fenfang was deceived by a few little liars from Beijing! It's terrible, it's so hateful, 10 million, it's thrown into the water like this, and I don't even hear a sound! What's even more terrifying is that this 10 million is very likely to bring Zhao Fenfang a lot of trouble, and in the end, he and the pyramid group will be put into it!

That night, a dinner party for friends in military circles was ruined by this funeral call from Beijing, and Jin Qiming only hurriedly ate a bowl of noodles and said that he was in a hurry, and rushed back to the basement of the Pyramid Hotel alone, ready to remove political garbage again. When he sat in the car and drove all the way back, Jin Qiming's mood was extremely depressed, and his good impression of Zhao Fenfang disappeared all of a sudden, and all he thought about was how to get out of the shell of the golden cicada. The thing is very clear, the catastrophe has suddenly struck under the precautionary situation, it is like a thunderbolt from the sky! The slightest sluggishness of his reaction tonight will be an unforgivable mistake for himself and his pyramid group!

After returning to the basement of D3 East District, after thinking for a long time, Jin Qiming tried his best to calm down and dialed Zhao Fenfang's house.

Zhao Fenfang was a little impatient when she answered the phone: "Mr. Jin, why are you again?" Are you going to talk to me about the land again? ”

Jin Qiming hurriedly said: "No, no, Mayor Zhao, I will talk about the five hundred acres of land today, I may not really buy it, you must not take it to heart!" Be...... It's such a thing: Mayor Zhao, I discussed it with my friends in the group, and I think that our group's donation of 10 million yuan to the old district foundation may have to hold a large-scale ceremony, a fair and honest thing, why do you have to be so sneaky? Besides, I also want to promote our pyramid and advertise our pyramid! ”

Zhao Fenfang was eating dinner, she seemed to be chewing something in her mouth, obviously a little unhappy: "Mr. Jin, why have you changed again?" Yes? It's not like you said you wouldn't advertise it! Is it because the restructuring of the Blue Sky Group has not been realized this time, do you feel that you have suffered a loss? Got emotional? Yes? I advise you not to be so short-sighted, as long as I stay in the leadership position of Jingzhou, there will be no development opportunities for your pyramid group, you Jin always have to calm down! ”

Jin Qiming judged from this that Zhao Fenfang didn't know the inside story until this time, but it was not easy to tell it, and insisted: "Mayor Zhao, I know all this, but ...... But I still want to take the opportunity to engage in some publicity, you will preside, and Comrade Xiao Bing and I will participate in the ......"

Zhao Fenfang said: "Let me tell you, Xiao Bing may not be able to participate, he was arrested by Liu Chongtian and Quan Sheng!" ”

Jin Qiming pretended to be surprised: "What's the matter?" Mayor Zhao, why don't you just ask? They're your friends! ”

Zhao Fenfang said with a smile: "Mr. Jin, I don't just ask, Xiao Bing's father doesn't ask?" Just wait and see! ”

Jin Qiming was forced to remind: "Mayor Zhao, Xiao Bing is here for you after all, our Pyramid Group donated another 10 million to his foundation, this is too big, you must make a phone call to Xiao Bing's family, at least report the situation!" ”

Zhao Fenfang was still numb: "What the hell am I doing with this idleness?" Didn't you just catch it for two days? Let's wait a few more days! ”

Jin Qiming scolded Zhao Fenfang for being stupid in his heart, and once again kindly persuaded: "Mayor Zhao, after all, Xiao Bing happened in Jingzhou, and you also have a responsibility!" I suggest that you better tell Xiao Bing's father, including Xiao Bing's activities in our city. ”

Zhao Fenfang was alert: "Jin Qiming, did you hear something?" Yes? ”

Jin Qiming tried his best to hide: "What can I hear? Including Xiao Bing's arrest, you told me! I think like this: If Xiao Bing is arrested by mistake, after he is released, we will have a high-grade ceremony, which can be regarded as restoring Xiao Bing's reputation! If Xiao Bing really engaged in any illegal activities, then I will not be polite: I have to report the 10 million donation of the Pyramid Group to recover it! ”

Zhao Fenfang was angry: "Jin Qiming, you ...... You haven't crossed the river yet, so you're ...... Tearing down the bridge? Yes! ”

Jin Qiming was ashamed in his heart, but he still hardened his heart to do his own work of cleaning up garbage, he believed that two days after Xiao Bing's arrest, Zhao Fenfang's phone should have been monitored: "Mayor Zhao, I really don't understand what you say!" You said that the people in the old area are amazing, they raised the revolution and the party during the war years, and without the great historical dedication of the people in the old area, there would be no New China, no reform and opening up today, and there would be no pyramid of mine! You asked me to repay the land sacrificed by the martyrs, I donated this 10 million to the people of the old area, Xiao Bing must use this 10 million for the people of the old area, otherwise, of course, I have a reason to recover it! ”

Zhao Fenfang said: "Okay then, then please go to Xiao Bing to chase it!" With that, he hung up the phone angrily.

Jin Qiming put down the microphone, was stunned for a long time, smiled bitterly, and silently turned on the computer.

It is simply a great irony, in the computer simulation of the political stock market, the political stock named Zhao Fenfang is still floating as his selected number one high-performing stock, and the rising momentum is far better than that of Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian. Because of the soaring performance of Zhao Fenfang, the comprehensive political index of the broader market has exceeded 3,000 points and entered the main rising stage of the bull market, that is to say, it has entered the harvest season. Now, this rally is coming to an end,—— isn't it just an end? It was a catastrophic crash! This stock, Zhao Fenfang, is definitely finished, because she has never belonged to the strong Beijing sector, but a problem stock, and the problem is extremely serious, and it is very likely to drag the market into a frustrating, long bear market!

Jin Qiming couldn't figure it out: why would such a smart woman, a mayor who had been in the mayor's position for seven years, be so eyeless and so unvigilant, and would turn a blind eye to Xiao Bing, a little liar? Is she too power-hungry? Want to be the leader so much? And what about him? A shrewd and capable civil politician actually followed Zhao Fenfang at that time, followed this big deal, paid 10 million, but what he bought was a political ** that could explode at any time!

Xiao Bing had already made it very clear to him when he visited Star Island: the 10 million will not be used for poverty alleviation in the old area, and 5 million will be used to buy officials for Zhao Fenfang's activities. Did Xiao Bing also say this to Zhao Fenfang? What's more, after Xiao Bing falls into the hands of Liu Chongtian and Quan Quansheng, will he be honest and confessed like this? If Xiao Bing made such an explanation, Zhao Fenfang would be dead!

It seems that Zhao Fenfang must be temporarily delisted, as long as she does not belong to the strong Beijing plate, there is not much investment value, not to mention that she has fallen out with Liu Chongtian and Quanquan Shengquan, and the quality of the stock has been greatly affected! The two stocks of Quansheng and Liu Chongtian seem to have a long time, in order to deal with Zhao Fenfang, they have carried out political confluence, and the bottom is very solid, it should be started, and everyone will have a price limit first. "Very good," Jin Qiming looked at the computer and praised himself in his heart, "As a rational market entrant, you can't have personal likes and dislikes, let alone use personal likes and dislikes to affect investment in power." Money investment pursues the maximization of profits, and the investment in power must of course also pursue the maximization of profits, and the power that does not produce profits is the power that is not worth investing. ”

So, is it time to buy all the money again? Quansheng is only a local veteran performance stock, and another local stock Bai Keshu has had a strong plate linkage effect, this old performance stock has recently undergone a substantial power reorganization,—— that is and the future provincial party committee Standing Committee Liu Chongtian's power reorganization, the meaning is different from the general, you can understand it as the introduction of the latest nano concept. After the reorganization of Quansheng, with the support of Liu Chongtian and Zheng Bingyi, it is estimated that it will not fall, and after this clean government storm passes, it will still sit firmly at the peak of the power of the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and the stock price will rise. Quansheng couldn't tolerate Liu Chongtian back then, and today he definitely can't tolerate Zhao Fenfang, who almost openly seized power, Zhao Fenfang will definitely leave Jingzhou and become a power that is not worth investing in,—— of course, the premise here is: if God forbid, she won't have an accident...... Just thinking about Zhao Fenfang, Zhao Fenfang's phone call came again, and her tone was wrong: "Mr. Jin?" Where are you now? ”

Jin Qiming looked at the computer and said nonsense: "Oh, Mayor Zhao, I'm on the way, and I'm driving to the provincial capital......"

Zhao Fenfang said sharply: "Jin Qiming, don't talk nonsense to me!" I'm calling your office landline! ”

Only then did Jin Qiming understand and hurriedly said, "I'...... I'm not going to ...... right away. Do you want to go! ”

Zhao Fenfang couldn't care about being angry, eased her tone, and said kindly: "Jin Qiming, don't go first, you may also know, Xiao Bing's affairs are in big trouble, please come to the European Hotel immediately, we will meet and discuss!" ”

Jin Qiming was more reluctant to go, and excused himself: "Mayor Zhao, I really can't go, a friend in the provincial capital is waiting for me!" ”

Zhao Fenfang shouted on the phone: "Jin Qiming, let me tell you: if I am shuanggui, you can't escape!" ”

Jin Qiming was still pretending to be confused: "Mayor Zhao, this ...... What's going on? How did you end up in shuanggui? ”

Zhao Fenfang almost roared: "I just spoke to Beijing on the phone, Xiao Bing is ...... It's a political fraudster! ”

Jin Qiming was ruthless, and said indifferently: "Oh, so, I really have to report the case!" With that, he put down the phone.

Did you really report the crime? Who to report? If you go to report the crime, will you fall into the net? You have to think about it.

What a pleasant memory. Since Liu Chongtian drove into Jingzhou with the task force, his troubles have been endless, first because of Bai Keshu's problem, he was approached by the case handlers of the task force again and again to talk; Later, because of Qi Xiaoyan's problem, she was secretly stared at by Zhao Fenfang; If Zhao Fenfang is shuanggui, will he confess the deeds of his subordinates? After all, Ji Xiangdong told Zhao Fenfang everything,—— Ji Xiangdong, a shameless political villain, not only sold him and the pyramid, but also sold himself.

However, if you think about it, there is nothing to be afraid of, no matter what Ji Xiangdong said to Zhao Fenfang, it was all for a reason, and there was no evidence, which could only be understood as slander. The only thing they can grasp the evidence is to hide Qi Xiaoyan privately. This is not a big deal, Qi Xiaoyan is not a criminal, he and the pyramid have not seen the wanted notice, besides, Qi Xiaoyan took the initiative to escape, it was Ji Xiangdong who sent him to his friend's villa, he out of sympathy and support for an old municipal party secretary, of course, to protect it, people always have to talk about feelings. When this news reached Quansheng, it might become another opportunity for him to buy Quansheng. As for Qi Xiaoyan being forced to jump off the cliff by Wang Guochang, that is also Wang Guochang's business, and it does not involve him at all, what does the criminal activities commanded by overseas underworld organizations have to do with him?

Yes, everything is in a sophisticated plan, from abroad to domestic, from the provincial capital to Jingzhou, layer by layer of protection nets were set up in advance when the operation was carried out, so far, there is not a drop of blood on his hands, he is as innocent as an angel, who dares to accuse him of organized criminal activities in the underworld? Who dares! He Jin Qiming is still the **** of Jingzhou City, a famous private entrepreneur.

More importantly, the foundation of the pyramid group and the combination of power is far from being shaken, after all, there is only one Ji Xiangdong who betrayed this group, and the other cadres trained by the group are still fighting for the maximum interests of the group in their respective posts,—— just when Liu Chongtian single-handedly planned the raid on the villa by the public security armed police, there are still cadres trained by the group who took the risk to send this information, isn't this very talkative? After this storm, Jingzhou will still be the Jingzhou in the past, killing a Bai Keshu, and a new Bai Keshu will come up; If one Zhao Fenfang falls, there will be a new Zhao Fenfang to get up; The huge wealth of the Pyramid Group will continue to buy power, speculate on power, and create a good situation in which wildfires are inexhaustible and spring breezes blow and regenerate. As long as this political system is not thoroughly reformed, the so-called corruption problem cannot be fundamentally solved, and he and his pyramid group will always be invincible.

Of course, this time the performance seems to be coming to an end, and Zhao Fenfang may have an accident. However, no one can deny the excitement of the plot, money has once again created a miracle! Who would have thought? When the soldiers of the task force pressed the border, and more than a dozen corrupt officials Bai Keshu and Lin Yida fell into the legal net, when Liu Chongtian raised the banner of anti-corruption and sharpened his knife, Zhao Fenfang was actually trained to become a senior cadre of the pyramid group in the wind and rain! If Xiao Bing is not a liar, if Xiao Bing's promise is true, if Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian do not accidentally merge politically, if Quan Sheng is also under the double regulations of the provincial party committee, and then has a grudge to bite Liu Chongtian and carry out a life-and-death fight, if Liu Chongtian communiqués a personal vendetta to help Zhao Annihilation, if the horses under Boss Tu do a better job, it could not have ended like this! Oh my God, what a good script he provided them, they didn't act like that!

Jin Qiming used a deep sigh to put the last end to his good script.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Jin Qiming, who was already as calm as water, touched the phone and asked his chief legal counsel to come and ask for it.

While waiting for legal counsel, Jin Qiming used electronic ** to blow up the simulated political stock market on the computer, deleted all the information related to the political turmoil, and did the last thing he did to deal with the secret files that only he controlled.

When Pyramid Group's chief counsel, Mr. Liu, walked in the door, Jin Qiming was already calmly writing the check.

Mr. Lau noticed that the two cheques were very large, one was 1 million and the other was 30 million.

Jin Qiming handed over the two checks to Lawyer Liu, and said expressionlessly: "Take it, Lawyer Liu, one million for you, which is the defense fee I paid you in advance, and the other 30 million for you to use for hospitality and gifts, make connections, and prepare for a lawsuit!" ”

Lawyer Liu took the check and looked at Jin Qiming in dismay: "Mr. Jin, this is ...... What's going on here? ”

Jin Qiming smiled: "Lawyer Liu, don't be afraid, there is no chaos yet, but I am worried that there will be chaos, big chaos!" I may have been framed by Liu Chongtian and Quansheng and his gang, and our Pyramid Group is also likely to be framed by them! ”

Lawyer Liu understood: "Mr. Jin, you are so powerful, and you are in front of them!" As he spoke, he put away the check for 30 million, but returned the check for 1 million to Jin Qiming, and said very earnestly, "Mr. Jin, I am the chief legal counsel you hired, and I have the obligation to provide legal support for you and the Pyramid Group. ”

Jin Qiming held Lawyer Liu's shoulder and slapped the check into Lawyer Liu's hand: "Lawyer Liu, you don't have to be so polite, let me repeat, one million is just an advance payment, after the lawsuit is over, the group will have another good report, and my financial director will look for you!" ”

Lawyer Liu put away the one million check: "Okay, Mr. Jin, then I might as well be respectful." ”

Jin Qiming began to explain the task with a sacrosanct ** face: "Lawyer Liu, if the lawsuit starts, you must have the confidence to win, you must make a not-guilty defense, and you must prepare to fight it to the provincial capital and to the Supreme People's Court in Beijing!" Who to go to, you know in your heart, I won't say more; You must spend the money you are given, not to save me; You and your future lawyer team have no obligation to save money, 30 million is not enough, and then find my financial director to help. In the court, I want to make it clear that I, Jin Qi, have created a miracle of Jingzhou's reform and opening up, and I and the Pyramid Group have worked hard in the cracks to achieve today's glory! Let the judges and the people of the whole society know that it was not easy to run a private enterprise in the past, and a small section chief or even the head of the ** department could jam my neck and strangle me to death in the cradle. There is an example that I have told you in the past, and you can go on and on: in the early years, our sales department was decorated once, and there were five or six batches of uniformed personnel to forcibly charge fees. What should I do in this case? What about pyramids? There is only one way to go, and that is to conform to the national conditions, treat and give gifts, and even give money to some corrupt officials! In this way, I will have a problem, the group will have a problem, and some people will say that I buy power......"

Barrister Liu smiled knowingly and warmly pandered: "Mr. Jin, you are right, so right, in fact, you and the Pyramid Group are lambs slaughtered by power, and they are the long-term and biggest victims of this serious corruption......

Jin Qiming waved his hand and interrupted Barrister Liu's words with a smile: "Therefore, you must grasp such a focus: I and I, the pyramid group, have come to this day in a country where the market economic mechanism is not yet perfect, a country that does not give national treatment to its own national private enterprises, and a country where power rent-seeking has become a common phenomenon. The conclusion of you and the lawyers' team should be this: This is the story of a Chinese private entrepreneur who pursues the truth of the socialist market economy by relying on the strength of capital. Oh, Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, but as a client, I ask you to record the facts I have narrated below! ”

Lawyer Liu replied, "Okay, good", hurriedly took out the record book, and began to work seriously for the generous remuneration he had obtained and would continue to receive...... Wu Sanyuan, chairman and president of Sanyuan Group, is a vigorous and resolute person, after learning of the reorganization intention of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, he gave up the upcoming European tour, rushed to Jingzhou, and the executive vice mayor Zhou Shanben, Tian Jian, as well as the Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau began substantive negotiations on the reorganization of the Blue Sky Group. That night, Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian met and hosted a banquet for Wu Sanyuan and his entourage at the International Resort Center, warmly encouraged them, and wished the two sides success in negotiations and strive for a win-win situation. It was almost ten o'clock at the end of the banquet, Liu Chongtian pulled Quan Sheng into his car and quietly told Quan Sheng that he was going to see someone. When the car drove all the way to the Municipal Public Security Department Hospital, Quan Sheng knew that the person Liu Chongtian proposed to see was actually his daughter Qi Xiaoyan, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and looked at Liu Chongtian in a daze, and didn't say a word for a long time.

However, after entering the gate of the Public Security Hospital, Quan Sheng hesitated a little, involuntarily stopped, and said to Liu Chongtian hesitantly: "...... Chongtian, forget it, I think it's better not to go, the impact of going is not very good, it will be known by others, and it will attack us again for political compromise! Xiaoyan's business, you just let the task force do business, we'd better leave it alone! ”

Liu Chongtian smiled bitterly: "Old Qi, how can you not care? Xiaoyan is your daughter after all, and she ...... That's the case again! ”

Quan Sheng was puzzled, stared at Liu Chongtian and asked, "What's the situation?" Chongtian, didn't you say that Xiaoyan has passed the dangerous period? ”

Liu Chongtian was silent for a moment, and slowly opened his mouth: "Lao Qi, first of all, I want to review with you, on the issue of Xiaoyan, I was derelict in my duties, our task force has checked everything, but I didn't expect that she would be hidden in the mountains by Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong, or you reminded me." What's even worse is that when Director Zhao took action, he didn't protect Xiao Yan, and what happened to Xiao Yan ......"

Quan Sheng interrupted Liu Chongtian's words and said: "I know all these things, don't talk about your brother, she escaped by herself, she did it herself, and I can't blame you at all!" You said it bluntly, is Xiaoyan's life still in danger? Isn't it? ”

Liu Chongtian shook his head: "The dangerous period is really over, but the sequelae are serious, very serious, the doctor told me today that when Xiaoyan fell from the mountain, her back hit the ground, her spine was seriously damaged, and she could not recover, and she was paralyzed...... It's a foregone conclusion......"

Quan Sheng was stunned: "This ...... That is to say, Xiao Yan is ...... Can't live without a wheelchair for the rest of your life? Yes? ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "Old Qi, now Xiaoyan doesn't know, you ...... You'd better not say it in front of her either. ”

Quansheng looked up at the night sky, was stunned for a long time, sighed and asked: "Chongtian, this is ...... Is this retribution? ”

Liu Chongtian immediately understood what Quan Sheng meant, and hurriedly said: "Hey, Lao Qi, don't say that, we are all communists, how can we believe this!" Yueru's car accident was an accident back then, and Xiaoyan fell from the mountain today is also an accident! ”

Quan Sheng resolutely turned around and said sadly: "Forget it, Chongtian, what ...... Then let's go back! Since...... Since this is already the case, don't look at it! You believe me, I'm ...... I will face up to this reality, and I will treat it correctly, haven't you and Yueru survived for seven years? I...... I'm going to get through it too......"

Liu Chongtian didn't want to continue to be reluctant, sighed, and walked out the door with Quansheng turning around.

After getting into the car, Quan Sheng opened his mouth again, his voice hoarse and bitter: "The situation of the kidnappers, have you figured it out?" ”

Liu Chongtiantong reported: "I figured it out, Deputy Director Zhao reported that it was a crime committed by the wanted criminal Wang Guochang." Wang Guochang is the leader of the underworld organization, he has several lives in his hands, kidnapping Yang Hongzhi, and killing Qi Universe, all of which were planned by this person. ”

Quansheng looked at the night scene outside the car window and asked very clearly, "What?" Doesn't it have anything to do with Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong? ”

Liu Chongtian is very objective: "According to the situation we have, it really has nothing to do with Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong. Wang Guochang's boss is surnamed Tu, called Tu Xingang, and is a backbone member of an underworld organization. After Wang Guochang and his gang were arrested in Jingzhou, this Tu Xin just got the news, and fled to South America, and now may be in Brazil, at present, the ** police and Interpol are chasing ......"

Quan Sheng withdrew his gaze from the outside of the car and stared at Liu Chongtian with some annoyance: "Chongtian, are you too bookish?" Yes? How could overseas underworld organizations be so interested in Jingzhou? How could you be so interested in you, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? Do you have to frame you and put you to death? Yes? Why do you want to hold Xiaoyan hostage and blackmail me? This obviously involves the interests of the pyramid group, and the commanders behind the scenes can only be Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong! Comrade Chongtian, I don't think any of them can be forgiven, and it should be time to close the net once! ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Lao Qi, your analysis is reasonable, and I also speculate like this, but your brother must remember that we are a country with a legal system, and we must act according to the law, without the criminal evidence of the criminal suspect, any analysis and speculation is powerless!" ”

Quan Sheng said angrily: "Why not? Did Qi Xiaoyan fall into the hands of Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong? Did Qi Xiaoyan force her to write the two letters to me? How did Xiaoyan fall into the hands of Wang Guochang's gang? Isn't that still a way to arrest people? This is a criminal offense, it's no longer your task force, if you don't arrest someone tonight, our city bureau will arrest it! ”

Liu Chongtian persuaded: "Lao Qi, calm down, I don't mean not to arrest, but to wait until I have more powerful evidence to arrest." Besides, Jin Qiming is still the **** of the city, and if the Municipal People's Congress does not meet to revoke his representative qualifications, we will break the law if we arrest him! I think we can consider implementing shuanggui on Ji Xiangdong first, Jin Qiming is to arrest it, and we have to wait for the meeting of the Municipal People's Congress to talk about it, what do you think? ”

Quan Sheng reluctantly agreed, but vented again: "Oh my God, I can't do this secretary of the municipal party committee for a long time anyway, I want to follow my past temper, I will fucking seize the pyramid group tonight, and pull Jin Qiming and Ji Xiangdong out of their kennels......"

Liu Chongtian said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old man, maybe I won't be able to do it for long, if that party and state leader doesn't pay attention to principles and protects his precious son, I may have committed the crime of 'illegal arrest', and I am likely to step down before you!" ”

Quan Sheng was serious: "Chongtian, why are you here again?" Didn't I say that? The arrest of Xiao Bing has nothing to do with you, it is completely our Jingzhou City's business, and it is I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, who ordered the action of the Public Security Bureau to take action, let that leader settle accounts with me! ”

In fact, until this moment, Liu Chongtian and Quan Shengdu did not know Xiao Bing's true identity, and both of them were still at great political risk. After Xiao Bing was arrested, he still regarded himself as the son of a party and state leader, and he was full of possessions, and the three Beijingers who were arrested at the same time with Xiao Bing also confirmed Xiao Bing's special status. In the face of the tape, Xiao Bing confessed, saying that it was because he drank too much wine and inadvertently leaked secrets, and asked the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee to prosecute him for leaking secrets. Liu Chongtian and Quan Sheng both knew that the crime of leaking secrets could not be handled for this kind of drunken nonsense, and they either released him immediately, or implemented the facts of Xiao Bing's crime, obtained evidence of the crime, and then reported to the provincial party committee and party and state leaders. Since the person has been arrested, of course he can't let it go like this, and he can only do it to the end. So, early this morning, Quan Sheng personally arranged for a deputy director of the Municipal Bureau to take a few case-handling personnel to go straight to the old district foundation according to the office location on Xiao Bing's business card.

When the Sheng family broke up in the first district of public servants, Quan Sheng thought about it again, and worriedly suggested to Liu Chongtian: "...... Oh my God, do you think I'm going to make a phone call to Comrade Bingyi? Xiao Bing's matter is too important after all. ”

Liu Chongtian shook his head: "Don't, don't, Lao Qi, you still don't want to make this call, it is precisely because of the importance of the stakes that we can't report to Comrade Bingyi!" Report to Comrade Bingyi, let Comrade Bingyi do? Haven't investigators already been sent to Beijing? Let's understand it clearly, even if Xiao Bing has no other criminal activities, he can't set up the second organization department in Jingzhou! In the end, he said kindly, "Oh, by the way, Lao Qi, Xiaoyan's paralysis, you'd better not tell Yaju for the time being." ”

Quansheng nodded with a heavy heart, shook hands with Liu Chongtian, turned around and walked into the courtyard door of his house. Unexpectedly, just as Liu Chongtian got into the car and was about to leave, a police car with its headlights on rushed to the front and stopped abruptly.

Liu Chongtian instinctively realized that something urgent had happened, rolled down the window and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The deputy director Li who went to Beijing immediately bounced out of the police car: "Oh, it's Secretary Liu, why are you here?" I'll report to Secretary Qi! We really got it right, this Xiao Bing is not the son of a party and state leader at all, and he ......"

Liu Chongtian's eyes lit up: "Okay, don't say it here, let's go to Secretary Qi's house and talk about it!" ”

When he arrived at the living room of the Qi family, Deputy Director Li didn't even drink saliva, so he began to report: "Secretary Qi, Secretary Liu, your eyes are so powerful, you can see through this scam at a glance!" Xiao Bing is so ridiculous, not to mention that he is not the son of a party and state leader, not even the son of a unit chief! His father had just passed away the year before last, and the biggest official in his life was the leader of the villagers' group! The old district foundation really exists, but it has not been registered as a community, and it is very famous because it works in a luxury building in Beijing, and there is an industrial head office under the foundation, which is quite capable of bluffing. The owner said that they would have to go in sooner or later, and some clues were provided by the owner, so for the sake of insurance, we went to the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, and the comrades of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau said that they had noticed the suspicious situation of this group of people and were preparing to file a case for investigation. Xiao Bing's real name is Hong Xiaobing, who served as a soldier in the Beijing Armed Police Force for two years, and was sentenced to two years in prison by a military court and expelled from the army for posing as the son of the head of the Armed Police Force on suspicion of engaging in fraudulent activities, and his current identity is a peasant ......"

This is so comedic, Liu Chongtian and Quanquan Sheng couldn't help laughing out loud and laughed out of tears.

Deputy Director Li continued, and his expression gradually became serious: "...... Two leaders, don't laugh, the energy of this gang of liars is not small, and all the people who come and go are local ** party and government officials! During the search according to law, a deputy general manager of their industrial company happened to hit our gun, and we made a surprise interrogation, and this guy did all the tricks: they were not a simple fraud, they also ran for others to buy officials, and even let them buy a few! Among them is one of our main leading cadres in Jingzhou! ”

Quan Sheng looked at Liu Chongtian quietly: "It's our Mayor Zhao Fenfang who wants to be the number one, right?" ”

Deputy Director Li said: "Yes, Zhao Fenfang bought the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and Jin Qiming's pyramid group paid 10 million on his behalf!" ”

Liu Chongtian asked calmly: "Is it just the confession of the deputy general manager?" Is there any other evidence to do so? ”

Deputy Director Li took out a copy list from the file: "Yes!" Two leaders, please see for yourself, the third place on the second page of this promotion list is Zhao Fenfang, it is clearly written, the current mayor of Jingzhou City, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and the hope position is the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, and it is also specifically noted in parentheses: The secretary of the provincial and municipal party committees can also be considered, and the secretaries of the municipal party committees of other prefecture-level cities are not considered. On the fifth page of the payment account, it is also very clear that 800,000 yuan will be used to donate to two hope primary schools, 8.5 million yuan will be the project profit of the industrial corporation under the foundation, and 700,000 yuan will be the cost of buying officials. ”

Quan Sheng looked at the promotion table and account sheet, silently handed it to Liu Chongtian, and said: "She has come this far!" ”

Liu Chongtian read it carefully, was stunned for a long time with a calm face, and with a "snap", he slapped the materials on the coffee table: "Despicable!" ”

Quansheng snorted: "This is also expected, the desire for power is consumed, desperate, and I don't even want my face!" ”

Liu Chongtian was still in deep shock, and said: "Yes, yes, no wonder she and Jin Qiming are in a hot fight, so shouting for Jin Qiming, it turns out that Jin Qiming wants to pay for her to buy an official!" actually bought Xiao Bing, a group of political liars, and 10 million actually made the family net 8.5 million! ”

Quan Sheng remembered Jin Qiming again: "Chongtian, I think this Jin Qiming seems to be able to be caught!" Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "I'm afraid it's not okay, at least you can't catch Zhao Fenfang before you take measures against it, you will be startled." ”

Quan Sheng recognized Liu Chongtian's analysis: "Then, let's report to Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee!" ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "Okay, report as soon as possible, we'd better work hard and go to the provincial capital overnight!" ”

Before going out to the provincial capital, Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian repeatedly explained to Deputy Director Li that Zhao Fenfang's use of Jin Qiming's money to buy officials must be kept strictly confidential. Deputy Director Li said that he knew that the matter was very serious, and that he had explained it to the personnel who knew about it when he was in Beijing. At the same time, it is suggested that Jin Qiming be monitored 24 hours a day. Quansheng discussed it with Liu Chongtian and agreed, but he still asked Deputy Director Li to remain silent when he monitored Jin Qiming.

On the way to the provincial capital in the same car, Liu Chongtian was quite touched, and joked to Quan Sheng: "Lao Qi, I never imagined that the Jingzhou project would achieve such a result, and instead of doing it to you, an old rival and old fellow, Zhao Fenfang was involved!" ”

Quan Sheng also joked: "Chongtian, don't be greedy for the merits of heaven for yourself, did you do Zhao Fenfang?" She jumped out on her own! She wants to be a leader so much! After saying this, the mind of joking was gone, and his face sank, as if asking himself, and like asking Liu Chongtian, "Am I also responsible?" How did she get to this point? How so? ”

Liu Chongtian originally wanted to say: You are responsible, if you, the secretary of the municipal party committee, do not exert the power in your hands to an absolute extent, and if you can truly implement the party's principle of democratic centralism and the principle of collective leadership, Zhao Fenfang may not be so keen on being the number one. However, after thinking about it, this was too exciting, and it was not good to say it now, so Liu Chongtian endured it and said: "Fundamentally speaking, Zhao Fenfang has never been a communist, just a politician, and it is reasonable that she has come to this point." ”

Quan Sheng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, Chongtian, I am responsible!" Seven years ago, I asked Comrade Chen Baichuan for absolute power, and in the past seven years, I, the secretary of the municipal party committee, have said everything and everything, and I must have made too deep an impression on Zhao Fenfang! She had a misunderstanding, thinking that she could cover the sky with one hand and do whatever she wanted, so she was desperate to be a leader! ”

Liu Chongtian didn't expect that Quan Sheng would analyze himself so much, and he took Quan Sheng's hand movingly: "Old man, this is exactly what I want to say and it's not easy to say!" If you can realize this for yourself, it means that you are not confused! But he said, "However, you can't generalize, there is an essential difference here: you want Chen Baichuan to have absolute power because you want to do great things for the people of Jingzhou, do practical things, and really do these big things and practical things; And what does Zhao Fenfang want to do in pursuit of absolute power? I'm afraid it's not for the people of Jingzhou, right? She will only work for the pyramid and Jin Qiming! This has been proven by the fact of the reorganization of Blue Sky Group! ”

Quan Sheng said with emotion: "Brother, this is the terrible part of the problem, if Zhao Fenfang really holds this kind of unchecked absolute power, our country, our party, and our nation will be too dangerous, too dangerous......"

Liu Chongtian said: "It is terrible that Zhao Fenfang has absolute power, and it is equally terrible for others to hold this absolute power!" ”

In the heart-to-heart conversation between the two old partners, the special car drove into the sleeping provincial capital at night.

When the car was on Zhongshan Road, the main road of the provincial capital, Liu Chongtian looked at his watch, and at this time, it was 4:20 in the morning.

This time is very embarrassing, although the dawn is just around the corner, but the long night has not yet passed, it is obviously inappropriate to wake up Zheng Bingyi, secretary of the provincial party committee, to report on the work, and it is impossible for Zheng Bingyi to convene the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee to meet the Standing Committee at this time to study Zhao Fenfang's problem. Liu Chongtian asked the driver to drive the car to his house, and he wanted to go to his house to rest first. When the car arrived downstairs at Liu's house, Quan Sheng was afraid of disturbing Zou Yueru, so he insisted on resting in the car with the driver. Liu Chongtian didn't say anything, he pulled Quanquansheng into his door, started to put noodles for Quanquansheng, and took some cooked vegetables and a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator, and quietly drank them with Quanquansheng.

Despite the lightness of the two, Zou Yueru was still shocked.

The door between the bedroom and the living room was ajar, and Zou Yueru saw her husband Liu Chongtian sitting with his back to her from the ajar door, and saw Quansheng sitting on the side, and felt very surprised. She could never have imagined that her husband would bring Quansheng to the house in the middle of the night, and sit so intimately at a table in their house to drink, and for a moment, it was as if she were in an old dream that was very far away.

Yes, it's been a long time, only nine years ago, when a secretary and a mayor of them first came to Jingzhou to work together, they had this kind of scene, and they drank together so intimately. At that time, she was still an able-bodied person, she stir-fried vegetables for them, poured them wine, and then, she sat silently on the sidelines, listening to them talk about some work things: how to get Jingzhou up, how to plan and develop this metropolis facing the ocean, when it came to excitement, the two powerful men would pull their necks and arms around their waists like children, debauchery and invisible, hehe laughed. She remembered that Quan Sheng said something like this through wine: "Cooperation is to comrades and brothers, comrades to talk about principles, brothers to talk about feelings, with this kind of relationship between comrades and brothers, you don't have to worry about this Jingzhou ......"

Tears flowed down unconsciously, the sky outside the window had already brightened, Zou Yueru couldn't stay in bed anymore, grabbed the handrail on the bed, groped a little bit, wanted to sit in the wheelchair in front of the bed, shook the wheelchair and walked to the two men, as nine years ago to fulfill the obligations of a housewife. Unexpectedly, the paralyzed body was too unlucky, and his hand had already grabbed the wheelchair, but he still fell to the ground softly.

This movement alarmed Liu Chongtian and Quansheng, and the two men put down the wine glasses in their hands and ran over to help her.

Zou Yueru smiled with tears: "Secretary Qi, I'm ...... I'm fine, I want to stir-fry you myself......"

Little by little, the night faded, and the dawn gradually approached the window, and the breath of death was clearly discernible.

It's a political death, it can't be avoided or saved, even Jin Qiming can see it, and she's preparing for the future, why can't she Zhao Fenfang see it? As soon as she missteps, she has created a scandal that has never appeared in Chinese politics!

Oh my God, what a terrible stump, what an unforgivable stumble, that even God would not forgive her! She is already the mayor, and she has been the mayor for seven years, why does she have to be so eager to be the number one? If this is someone else's trap for her, forcing her to jump into this trap is understandable, she made a hanging for herself and hanged herself.

Political death began with a misjudgment, and the historical relationship between Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian led her thinking astray. According to common sense, Liu Chongtian, who is murderous and pounces on Jingzhou, will definitely put Quansheng to death and then hurry up, and will never be soft on Quansheng; And Quansheng, with his style and personality, will also do his best to carry out a political counterattack, biting Liu Chongtian all over his body; A political opportunity to profit is obvious. However, unexpectedly, Zheng Bingyi restrained Liu Chongtian, and Chen Baichuan controlled Quansheng and stopped this bloody political battle that should have been extremely tragic. As a result, she, a poor fisherman who was good at political chases to the sea, fell into great luck, poured blood mold, was clamped by the throat of the long beak of the sandpiper, clamped the leg by the mussel, and was helplessly dragged into the political quagmire of life and death.

It is not terrible that things have come to this point, with her wit, with her years of experience in politics and sea, there may be a way to live, but she is really not sober, she is already in the quagmire, and she actually drank to quench her thirst and got on the thief ship of Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing met her two years ago when she was holding a meeting in Beijing, and she can't remember what the meeting was, but what she can remember is the banquet at the Great Wall Hotel. The host of the banquet was her second cousin, a rustic deputy mayor of a county-level city in a neighboring province, she had always looked down on this second cousin who could only pat on the back, and she didn't bother to join in this kind of fun, but the second cousin insisted on letting her go to the party, saying that he wanted to introduce an important friend to meet her. This friend is Xiao Bing, a quiet young man, easy-going and arrogant, facing tens of thousands of yuan of delicacies from the mountains and seas, he eats very little and talks very little. The second cousin is like Xiao Bing's son, frequently raising his glass, respectfully toasting Xiao Bing, reporting one by one, asking for instructions one by one, and when he sent Xiao Bing to the car, he almost never dared to straighten his waist. She felt very strange, and only after Xiao Bing's Mercedes-Benz with a military license plate drove away, who is this? Is it worth your low three-and-four? The second cousin showed Xiao Bing's hole card: He is the son of a party and state leader, and it is not easy to meet us in Beijing once!

At that time, Zhao Fenfang didn't expect that the son of a party and state leader would have a decisive impact on her career, and she didn't take Xiao Bing seriously in her heart, but only regarded him as an accidental adventure in her life journey. When she really knew the value of Xiao Bing's use, it was in March this year. One day in March, she suddenly received a call from her second cousin, saying that she was going to lead a delegation to Jingzhou to inspect and study, and only after meeting did she know that her second cousin had jumped from the last deputy mayor to the secretary of the municipal party committee. Although he is the secretary of the municipal party committee of a county-level city, he is always the number one, commanding and high-spirited. During a private conversation, the second cousin revealed an amazing secret: it was that Xiao Bing who sent the second cousin to the position of the number one in this county-level city. The second cousin was very upset for her, saying that it was the mayor of seven years, and it was long overdue to move, and asked her if she could ask the enterprises in Jingzhou to donate a thousand eight million to Xiao Bing, and take another step up? She smiled and said nothing, trying to maintain the reserve of a mayor of a large economic city, but her heart set off a storm that had never been before.

A month later, when she went to Beijing to attend the economic work conference, she couldn't help but call Xiao Bing according to the business card left by Xiao Bing two years ago, however, time has passed, and the phone has become an empty number. She had no choice, so she called her second cousin again, and finally got a new phone number from Xiao Bing. I made an appointment with Xiao Bing on the phone three or four times before I completed a political banquet in the VIP building of the Beijing Hotel as I wished. In this banquet, she became the second cousin two years ago, and the reserve and dignity of the mayor of Jingzhou Economic City were all gone, so she just smiled, and the muscles on her face stiffened with a smile. It was after that banquet that she began substantive contact with Xiao Bing and expressed her heart's desire. Because of her second cousin's relationship, Xiao Bing did not doubt her sincerity, and naturally included her in his own operation project, and clearly told her: find a company to donate 10 million, 5 million for her to carry out progress projects, and 5 million to the people in the old area. As a result, there were two trips to Jingzhou by Xiao Bing and his entourage and a donation of 10 million yuan from Jin Qiming Pyramid Group to the old area foundation.

The unforgivable fatal mistake was made in this way, and Xiao Bing became the nemesis of her fate, killing her at once.

Eight hours ago, the party and state leader's office had given a solemn answer that the leader did not have this son at all, and that this was a serious political fraud incident, and the leader's office demanded that the Jingzhou side immediately arrest Xiao Bing, conduct a strict examination, and report the review situation and results in a timely manner. She didn't believe it at the time, saying that she had seen the photo with the leader shown by Xiao Bing. The comrades in the leader's office said that this kind of thing had happened in the past, and that it was a fake photo created by computer synthesis, and that your technical department could completely identify it.

The next eight hours were gloomy and long, and Zhao Fenfang felt that the time in the dark night had invisibly turned into a cruel meat grinder, squeezing away her hope of survival little by little: Jin Qiming smelled the smell of danger and began to shed the golden cicada; Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian arranged for Deputy Director Li of the Municipal Public Security Bureau to fly to Beijing, and the truth was already expected; The second cousin also had an accident there, and he called the second cousin to try to find the real time, but it was the second cousin who answered the phone, and the second cousin said cautiously on the phone that the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly asked the second cousin to talk to him yesterday afternoon, and he didn't come back until today. called Quansheng and Liu Chongtian again, both of them were not at home,—— Shengen was not at home in the middle of the night, where would they go? The only possibility is to report to the provincial party committee. Maybe Deputy Director Li has returned from Beijing and has already dug out Xiao Bing's old nest. When I called Ji Xiangdong again, Ji Xiangdong was gone.

Zhao Fenfang's heart was cold, and she clearly felt that the catastrophe was quietly coming in the terrible "ticking" sound of the electronic clock in the room.

It was on such a heart-wrenching night that her husband Qian Chucheng still didn't return all night, and he didn't even come to the phone, and she didn't even have a person to talk to! The phone of Qian Chucheng of the mobile phone is turned off, and the pager Qian Chucheng does not return to the phone. This stinky man must have gotten into that little **'s quilt again, deliberately avoiding her as usual! She has reached the point of no return, and the fact that this stinky man is still having fun in the arms of another woman has made her completely hopeless not only politically, but also completely desperate for life.

At the last moment before dawn, Zhao Fenfang didn't think about anything, and called her son Yongyong in the United States with tears in her eyes.

Yongyong is also a thing that is not angry, what kind of fruit is it, what kind of son there is, what kind of son there is, what kind of adult in his twenties, but he is still so ignorant, he didn't ask what was the big deal when his mother suddenly called? opened his mouth again for his car, and asked her to send 8,000 US dollars as soon as possible, saying that she had been optimistic about a second-hand sports car, which was worth hundreds of thousands in China.

Zhao Fenfang's tears welled up all of a sudden, she couldn't control her emotions anymore, and scolded angrily: "...... Qian Yong, you're still not a thing, are you? Yes? Can't you say anything other than ask me for money? Do you know how Mom came over this night? What was Mom thinking? You only know yourself, and you only know yourself! You...... Who of you cares if I live or die! ”

Qian Yong was stunned, and it took a long time before he asked carefully: "Mom, are you ...... again?" Fighting with my dad again? ”

Zhao Fenfang suppressed her sobs at first, and then cried into the phone, and the more she cried, the more fierce she became.

Qian Yong was scared: "Mom, don't cry, if you can't break up with my dad, it's okay...... It's not interesting to ......."

Zhao Fenfang stopped crying, choked up and said, "Yongyong, don't talk about your dad anymore, let's talk about you!" How are you doing this time? Did you go to work at your father's request? And your girlfriend, can she go with you to the end and live a lifetime? ”

Qian Yong talked on the phone, for more than ten minutes, the main topic was all about his girlfriend in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, never talked about the problem of part-time work, and tactfully mentioned that it was his girlfriend who fell in love with the second-hand sports car.

Zhao Fenfang sighed and said: "Yongyong, I know your thoughts, you can buy this sports car, buy it or give it to your girlfriend, but you can't use the money I give you, you have to work by yourself, even if it's to serve dishes and wash dishes in a restaurant." Remember, you are an adult, you have lived independently, and you can no longer rely on your mother; Your dad can't be trusted, and neither can mom...... I can't support you for the rest of my life. ”

Qian Yong asked pitifully: "Mom, so to speak, you ...... You're not going to send me any more money? Isn't it? ”

Zhao Fenfang said with tears in her eyes: "No, no, Yongyong, Mom will give you a sum of money in the end, it is all of Mom's savings, a total of 540,000 US dollars, Mom has quietly deposited it in Citibank Houston when she went to the United States to investigate last year, it is your name, and I will let your grandma tell you the password in the future." However, this money is not for you to have fun, it is reserved for you to start a business in the future! You must remember: never return to China without getting a green card, and if you have the opportunity to obtain U.S. citizenship, you must hold on to it! Don't believe domestic political propaganda at any time, including some of what mom has said to you in the past. Yongyong, can you understand what this means? ”

Qian Yong didn't understand: "Mom, what's wrong with you today?" Why do you say these things? Didn't you say that in the past? The best development opportunities are in China, in the mainland. You also said that China is recruiting talents from all over the world, and there are good opportunities for talents returning from overseas to enter politics......"

Zhao Fenfang sharply interrupted Qian Yong's words: "As long as this regime does not collapse for a day, you will not come back for a day, let alone enter politics!" Chinese politics is a cruel meat grinder, I don't want to see you being cruined into a ball of meat sauce, you must remember this! ”

Qian Yong didn't dare to ask more, so he talked about something else, and even talked about a new Hollywood movie, and the final topic turned to Qian: "...... Mom, when will I get the $540,000? You don't know, there are a lot of things to do for students to run a company now, if the $540,000 is given to me now, I don't want to work, I can consider setting up a company right away......"

Zhao Fenfang couldn't listen to it anymore, and silently put down the phone.

——The expectations for her son have also come to naught, and Zhao Fenfang began to wonder if her life's unremitting struggle is worth it? struggled for politics, and was about to become the secretary of the listing committee, but helplessly planted into a fatal political abyss; struggled for his son, but cultivated such a gentleman who only spends money. Just accepting $540,000 from a foreign businessman was enough to sentence her to death, and she took such a big risk, in exchange for not only sadness and disappointment, but also sadness and disappointment, which is unfair...... However, after all, it is her own son, and the meat that fell from her body, even if she is an idiot, this $540,000 is enough for him to live the rest of his life in the future, as a mother who licks calves, she has done her best, she has done her duty, and she has no regrets when she goes to Jiuquan.

The long sleepless night finally passed, and Zhao Fenfang, who was like water, drank a glass of milk, washed her face, and took care of it carefully in the mirror, then went out as usual with her briefcase and got into the special car that picked her up from work. The only difference is that before getting on the car that day, Zhao Fenfang took a few more eyes at the small municipal building where she had lived for nearly ten years. After Zhao Fenfang committed suicide, the driver who drove Zhao Fenfang recalled that he noticed that the moment he looked at Xiaolou, Zhao Fenfang's eyes were full of affection.

The last day of Zhao Fenfang's life was not quiet, dozens of retired veteran comrades of the Municipal Materials Group blocked the gate of the city, and dared to stop her special car to "report to her". Zhao Fenfang didn't listen to a few words to understand the original situation: these old comrades were originally cadres of the Municipal Materials Bureau, which belonged to the establishment of the enterprise, and after the Materials Bureau was restructured into an enterprise group, their retirement salary payment suddenly became a problem, and the enterprise group was pushed outward, and the labor protection department was unwilling to take it, and it had been pulling the strings for more than a year.

Zhao Fenfang was already in a bad mood, and she was extremely angry, so she sat in the car and reprimanded the old comrades and said, "...... Do I want to take care of this myself? Whoever is, you go to whomever you want! If I want to take care of such a trivial matter, I, the mayor, will not do it! ”

The old comrades said: "Mayor Zhao, this is not a trivial matter, we haven't received a pension for half a year, and we are going hungry!" ”

Zhao Fenfang was unmoved, and waved her hand: "Let's go, let's go, find your original unit, they will give you an explanation!" ”

The old comrades couldn't bear it anymore and surrounded Che Tuantuan, insisting that she, who was the mayor, give them an explanation.

Zhao Fenfang didn't give this explanation, and as soon as the car door was closed, the driver made a call to the relevant departments.

It didn't take much effort for a group of policemen to arrive in time, organize a cordon, drive and pull, and finally get dozens of old comrades out of front of the car. However, the old comrades were very stubborn, standing outside the cordon and still not leaving, scolding Zhao Fenfang by name.

Zhao Fenfang knew that it was not good to let the old comrades stand in front of the ** door and scold them like this, and after the car entered the ** gate, she instructed the police officer in charge: "You can't let them be so lawless, you immediately transfer a big bus for me, find an excuse to load them into the car, drive them to the vicinity of the garbage treatment plant outside the city, drive them out of the car, let them run, and exercise well!" ”

The police officer felt that it was inappropriate, and carefully questioned: "Mayor Zhao, they are all so old, this is ...... Is this appropriate? ”

Zhao Fenfang said impatiently: "It's not inappropriate, it's because I'm getting older that my body needs to exercise more!" Go, go, hurry up, you can tell them, this is my instruction, oh, take them to the original unit to solve the problem......"

When I entered the office on the tenth floor of the city's ** building, it was almost nine o'clock, and Director Wang of the General Office came to report on the day's work arrangement.

Zhao Fenfang didn't allow the chief of staff to open her mouth and stopped, her face was very ugly: "Director Wang, cancel all the work arrangements for me today." Yes? I have to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination, I can't fight like this, and I will lose my life! ”

The chief of staff was very embarrassed, and stood in front of Zhao Fenfang and rubbed his hands: "Mayor Zhao, this is ...... Many of these are urgent matters, the director of the organizing committee of the International Fashion Festival is you, it will open tomorrow, and many VIPs have already arrived in Jingzhou; The restructuring negotiations of Blue Sky Group have also begun, Secretary Qi and Secretary Liu have come forward to warmly receive Wu Sanyuan, I am afraid it is not appropriate for you to be the mayor, Mayor Zhou also hopes that you will come out; Also, the Bank of America delegation arrived in Gyeongju at 10 a.m., and it was also necessary to pick up the wind......"

Zhao Fenfang sighed, her face full of sadness: "Director Wang, can you stop talking?" Yes? Can you just give me a day's freedom, even a morning's freedom? After thinking about it, "I think so, Comrade Zhou Shanben participated in these activities on my behalf, and Shanben is the executive deputy mayor, and he also has this responsibility and obligation!" Okay, okay, let's go, and notify Zhou Shanben immediately. ”

The chief of staff was still reluctant to leave: "Mayor Zhao, you ...... You don't know, Mayor Zhou went to the hospital again last night......"

Zhao Fenfang's face was expressionless: "Mayor Zhou is too squeamish, he often goes to the hospital, if you invite him out, it's over!" ”

After the chief of staff left, Zhao Fenfang closed the door and began to nervously clean her desk, put all the text materials that might cause her trouble in the shredder, and flushed them into the toilet. He also found the eight passbooks hidden in the office one by one and put them in his briefcase. Then inform the driver and ask the driver to drive the car to the downstairs foyer, saying that he was going to go out.

Just before going out, the call from the provincial ** general office arrived, and it was a call from the deputy director of the general office who was quite familiar, and his mouth was gentle, very much like a normal work arrangement. The deputy director chatted with her for a few days before she got to the point, saying that this afternoon Governor Guan went to Pinghu to inspect the work, and he wanted to go to Jingzhou by the way to have a look, listen to the arrangement of the International Fashion Festival, and ask her to prepare first, organize a special report, and arrange dinner. The deputy director repeatedly instructed Zhao Fenfang not to leave the office before Governor Guan arrived.

Zhao Fenfang knew in her heart that it could not be Governor Guan who was about to come to Jingzhou, it should be Li Shiyan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even Zheng Bingyi, Secretary ,——of the Provincial Party Committee.

The time was already measured in minutes and seconds, and she couldn't delay any longer, so she picked up her briefcase and went out the door.

There was no obstruction to go downstairs to the car, and the car was not blocked from the gate of the city, everything was normal.

On the road to liberation, the situation seems to be a little wrong. The reversing mirror shows that an imported bullet car is always following unhurriedly, like a tail that can't be shaken off. Zhao Fenfang thought about it, asked the driver to suddenly turn around, and plugged into a secluded alley nearby. The bullet car behind her also immediately turned around and drove into the alley with her car.

The driver also noticed the abnormality and said to Zhao Fenfang: "Mayor Zhao, the car behind seems to be eyeing us." ”

Zhao Fenfang looked at the rearview mirror and pretended to be calm: "Oh? No way? What is it staring at us? Yes? ”

The driver didn't know it, felt insulted, and slowed down: "Dare to stare at our car? I stopped and asked! ”

Zhao Fenfang stopped: "Forget it, forget it, don't make trouble for me, drive your car!" ”

The car went out of the alley, got on the second seaside road, drove for more than ten minutes on the second seaside road, and arrived at the famous seaview community. Zhao Fenfang asked the driver to park the car under a residential building in the community, and went upstairs with a briefcase in his pocket. Before going upstairs, I looked back quietly, but I didn't see the tracking bullet, and my heart was put back in my stomach.

Because I called last night, I made an appointment with my mother, and my mother was waiting for her at home, and when I met, I chatted about the decoration of the house, saying that it was expensive, the floor tiles were not slippery, and the quality of the project was also problematic. The old lady wants to be the mayor's daughter and take care of it, and she can't let the decoration company do this to pretend and harm the people. Zhao Fenfang pretended to be smiling, responded frequently, and when her mother finished chattering, she took out the eight passbooks and handed them to her mother: "Mom, you take it, this is the 900,000 I used to save for you in your name in the past, and you have collected it." ”

The mother was taken aback: "Nine hundred thousand? Fragrance, you ...... You and Qian Chucheng are state cadres, where did you get so much money? ”

Zhao Fenfang smiled sadly: "Mom, don't ask, even if I have a little filial piety to you!" Don't mention Qian Chucheng again, from now on, you should not have this son-in-law! In addition, you and no one can say anything about these 900,000 things, including my dad! ”

The mother understood, and nervously grabbed Zhao Fenfang's hand: "Fragrance, you ...... Is there something wrong with you? Yes? ”

Zhao Fenfang forced a smile: "It's not a big problem, it's not all about their small actions!" ”

The mother came up with an idea: "Fragrance, then don't spare this surnamed Qi, you have to grab his pigtails and pull them to death!" Isn't the province investigating him? Don't be polite to him! Mom's experience is that the more you are at such times, the more you can't be convinced......"

Zhao Fenfang knew that her mother's nagging would be endless, so she interrupted her mother's words and said, "Mom, don't say it, I know how to deal with it!" But you, you have to remember, don't say that the 900,000 things are given by me, just say that you made money by trading stocks, no matter who looks for you and what you say, don't admit it, don't let me down as a daughter! ”

The mother wiped her tears and nodded again and again: "I understand this, I understand, I want to say that you gave it, no...... Won't I make you guilty? ”

Zhao Fenfang said with relief: "Okay, Mom, it's good if you can understand." In addition, I also gave Yongyong a sum of dollars abroad, ready to be used by Yongyong to start a business in a few years, the password is here, you can take a look, keep it in mind, and tell Yongyong when the time comes......"

Only then did the mother realize that the situation her daughter had encountered might be very serious, and asked with teary eyes: "Fragrance, ...... you What the hell are you ...... What's wrong? Yes? The problem is not very serious? Yes...... Will go...... Going to jail? Yes? You tell the truth! ”

Zhao Fenfang hesitated for a moment, and nodded tearfully: "Yes, they may be sentenced to three ...... Three or five years. ”

The mother hugged Zhao Fenfang and cried: "Fragrance, don't be afraid, when the time comes, Mom...... Mom is going to see you, ah......"

After reluctantly saying goodbye to her mother, when she got into the car again, Zhao Fenfang finally breathed a sigh of relief: everything that should be done was done, and as a mother, she was worthy of her son who was far away in the United States; As a daughter, she is worthy of the parents who gave birth to her and raised her. So, what else is there to be nostalgic for in this world? It's time for her to ride the wind.

Zhao Fenfang ordered the driver to drive the car to the Wanghai Cliff Scenic Area.

At this time, the driver had noticed that Zhao Fenfang's expression was abnormal, and he felt that something was wrong, so he asked cautiously while driving: "Mayor Zhao, no...... Didn't you say that if you go to your mother's house and have a check-up, you will go to the People's Hospital for a physical examination? Why did you go to look at the sea cliff again? ”

Zhao Fenfang's face pulled: "Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked, hurry up, and go to look at the sea cliff!" ”

Unexpectedly, when he was about to reach the gate of Wanghai Cliff Scenic Area, the bullet car that was following suddenly appeared again, and suddenly inserted himself in front of Zhao Fenfang's car from the fork in the road, forcing Zhao Fenfang's car to stop less than fifty meters away from the gate of the scenic spot. What surprised Zhao Fenfang even more was that it was Deputy Secretary Wang who was in charge of the municipal legal work!

After Deputy Secretary Wang got out of the car, he walked over with a smile: "Mayor Zhao, why did you get here?" Let's go, go back to the city**, I have to discuss something important with you! This summer is a hard crackdown, and you have to cooperate more! You can't imagine that your ** reception hotel also has a problem of prostitution, I have to inform you about this, don't make any unpleasant trouble with you......"

Zhao Fenfang is completely clear: she is already under the close supervision of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Deputy Secretary Wang was still acting there: "Mayor Zhao, you don't know how serious the problem is, the impact is too bad......"

Zhao Fenfang waved her hand: "Okay, Secretary Wang, get in the car and talk to my office!" ”

Back in the office on the 10th floor of the city, freedom of movement has been effectively lost. Deputy Secretary Wang followed step by step, and talked with her about the situation of the summer crackdown work, ** the situation of prostitution in the reception hotel, and said that there was nothing to say, and he talked about the cancer of Lao Qi, director of the Municipal Party History Office, saying that Lao Qi had not lived for a few days, and asked Zhao Fenfang if he also took the time to take a look?

Zhao Fenfang coped with the spirit, kept drinking tea, and drank a cup of tea until it was tasteless, and made another cup.

After the second cup of tea was brewed, Zhao Fenfang walked into the bathroom with a natural expression, walked to the door of the bathroom, turned around and smiled at Deputy Secretary Wang, and asked sarcastically: "Secretary Wang, are you going to the bathroom with me to continue chatting?" Yes? ”

Deputy Secretary Wang blushed suddenly: "Mayor Zhao, look at what you said, you can do whatever you want, ah, whatever you want......"

Negligence happened like this, after receiving a call from the provincial party committee at ten o'clock in the morning, Deputy Secretary Wang thought that Zhao Fenfang might flee and commit suicide by jumping into the sea, but he didn't expect that Zhao Fenfang would jump off the building under his nose when he was being stared at. After the accident, I learned that the bathroom in Zhao Fenfang's office actually led to an inconspicuous small balcony. Deputy Secretary Wang was transferred to Jingzhou to work for less than two years, because on the side of the municipal party committee, he did not have much contact with Zhao Fenfang, and he did not go to Zhao Fenfang's office a few times, and because Zhao Fenfang was a lesbian, she had never used her bathroom, so it was impossible to know the structure of the building, so it was understandable that such negligence occurred.

Zhao Fenfang finally fought for the last chance to die, and after entering the bathroom, she immediately locked the door, calmly cut her hair in front of the mirror, and straightened her skirt before calmly walking to the small balcony full of bonsai and flowers. Before jumping down, Zhao Fenfang stood on the small balcony and looked at the Moon Square outside the city's ** gate for a long time, a long time, and then the investigation proved that Zhao Fenfang stood on the balcony for five minutes. The doorman on duty that day accidentally saw her, and thought that the flower-loving female mayor was watering flowers on the balcony again.

The civil servants who worked in the ** building of Jingzhou City only remembered one fact at 11:48 a.m. on June 26, 2001, Zhao Fenfang, deputy secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China and mayor of Jingzhou City, fell to the ground wearing a white imported Chanel fashion skirt and was killed on the spot.

At 12:42 a.m. on June 26, 2001, that is, 54 minutes after Zhao Fenfang committed suicide by jumping off a building, a special convoy composed of Zheng Bingyi, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Li Shiyan, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Chongtian, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and Quansheng, Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, was driven by the police car of the Provincial Public Security Department, roaring all the way and rushing into the gate of Jingzhou City.

June 26, 2001 is a day destined to be remembered by the people of Gyeongju, and it is also a day destined to enter the history of Gyeongju. On this day, Zhao Fenfang, the people's mayor of Jingzhou City, betrayed the people and committed suicide in fear of crime; On the same day, the flame of life of Zhou Shanben, executive vice mayor and model of clean government, also burned to the end and was suddenly extinguished.

Two mayors died in one day, and the deaths were so different, that the shock to people was very strong.

In retrospect, many insiders believed that Zhou Shanben's sudden death had a lot to do with Zhao Fenfang.

At 9:20 a.m. that day, Director Wang of the General Office anxiously rushed from the city ** to the cadre ward of the People's Hospital, and truthfully conveyed Zhao Fenfang's instructions to Zhou Shanben. At that time, two professor-level doctors from the People's Hospital were talking to Zhou Shanben, saying that Zhou Shanben's sub-health conditions caused by long-term excessive fatigue had reached a very serious level, and that they could not continue any longer, and that if they did not rest well and make necessary adjustments to their bodies, it was likely to cause heart failure and accidents. Seeing that Director Wang wanted Zhou Shanben to go out to attend this meeting, the two doctors were not very happy, and one of the female doctors asked Director Wang very unceremoniously and said, "...... Director Wang, why do you always practice with Mayor Zhou? Is it because Mayor Zhou is easy to speak? I don't care if Mayor Zhou lives or dies! ”

Director Wang was also angry in his heart, and he couldn't take care of Zhao Fenfang's face anymore, so he complained to Zhou Shanben in front of the two doctors: "...... Mayor Zhou, you don't know, Mayor Zhao seems to have any emotions today, he doesn't want to take care of anything, he doesn't even want to listen to my report, and no one can deal with this urgent matter in the city, what do you say I should do? Mayor Zhou, after all, you are the executive vice mayor, even if Mayor Zhao doesn't let me look for you today, I have to look for you, I ...... I can't help it......"

Zhou Shanben was afraid that Director Wang would not have a good impact if he continued to talk about it, so he smiled bitterly and changed out of the hospital gown on his body and put on his original clothes: "Okay, good, Director Wang, don't say it, I'll go, I'll go, as long as Mayor Zhao instructs, I'll implement it, let's go!" ”

The female doctor chased after the door: "Hey, Mayor Zhou, after handling a few urgent matters, you have to go back to the hospital immediately!" ”

Zhou Shanben turned around and waved to the female doctor frequently, and his mouth responded again and again: "Okay, okay, Doctor Liang, I know!" ”

Unexpectedly, this is a permanent secret. When the female doctor saw Zhou Shanben a few hours later, Zhou's heart had stopped beating.

From walking out of the hospital gate at 9:32 to dying at 13:22 noon on the same day, the last moments of Zhou Shanben's life were the same as Zhao Fenfang, calculated in minutes and seconds, and in these three hours and fifty minutes, Zhou Shanben was as nervous as a war.

On that day, Liu Dong, deputy director of the third division of the young secretary, and Zhou Shanben experienced this unforgettable 3 hours and 50 minutes together.

The first thing to do was to rush to the International Fashion Festival Preparatory Center to listen to the final report on the preparations for the Fashion Festival.

Because the time was very tight, Zhou Shanben put his watch on the conference table as soon as he entered the door, and said weakly: "Mayor Zhao is not in good health and can't come, I have a lot of things on my hands today, and the meeting will be changed, and this meeting can only be held for one hour at most." The comrades' reports should be as short as possible, and I will take them to the car to see for myself. As a result, after only forty minutes of operation, the meeting was over. Zhou Shanben made several instructions on behalf of Zhao Fenfang in response to the problems in the report, especially reminding everyone to pay attention to the control of the mass scene at the opening ceremony, not to have unexpected chaos, and fire safety issues on the night of fireworks.

When leaving the venue, Zhou Shanben asked his secretary Liu Dong to carry a pile of meeting materials into the car.

The second thing is the restructuring negotiation of the Blue Sky Group, which Zhou Shanben couldn't put his mind at ease, and he was still remotely commanding in the hospital.

Wu Sanyuan of Sanyuan Group is a shrewd businessman, not a savior of poverty alleviation. After the negotiation framework was finalized, Sanyuan did not give an inch to what it had already obtained, and wanted to take what it did not get, and suddenly proposed to change the 30 million state-owned shares of Blue Sky Technology that were originally scheduled to be transferred to them to 40 million shares. At this time, Tian Jian, who had been wronged, wanted to go abroad to join his German teacher Kluter, preparing to develop the Chinese mainland market after China's accession to the WTO as the chief representative of Klute in China in the future.

The location of the reorganization negotiation of the blue sky group is in the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau, Zhou Shanben rushed to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau, and Wu Sanyuan found the director's office to talk alone, soft and hard warning: "Mr. Wu, you don't want to be Longwangshu, if you Sanyuan Group does not plan to engage in the development of new cars from now on, you can consider giving up this reorganization, and we can openly conduct restructuring bidding in Jingzhou City." forced Wu Sanyuan to agree to return to the agreed negotiation framework. Zhou Shanben never talked about Tian Jian's departure, and when he got into the car, he said to Tian Jian, "Your business, let's find time to talk about it alone, I will give you my heart, and I hope you will give me your heart, my request is very simple: at least you can't go now, some corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Jingzhou are sorry for you and make you suffer, but the vast number of cadres and people in Jingzhou are not sorry for you, and I Zhou Shanben is not sorry for you, I hope you will help me in the end." Tian Jian also had unspeakable suffering, saying that Wu Sanyuan was his college classmate, and it was so difficult to deal with, no matter what the final result of the negotiation was, he couldn't tell clearly. Zhou Shanben said, "Don't be afraid to say clearly, I will bear any problems, you just have to rest assured to negotiate, and let go of the steps that should be made!" ”

It was already 11:05 a.m. when I came out of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Bureau.

Director Wang of the General Office called from the Jingzhou International Airport and reported that Mr. George and his entourage of five members of the Bank of America delegation had disembarked from the plane, and that he and the convoy had now boarded the airport highway and were heading for the Grand Hotel de Europe, where they planned to stay.

Zhou Shanben was busy driving to the European Hotel.

Secretary Liu Dong suggested that Zhou Shanben should not go, but Zhou Shanben disagreed, and said to Liu Dong, "If Mayor Zhao doesn't go to meet with others, I, the executive vice mayor, will have to go. Bank of America's intention to seize Jingzhou after China's entry into the WTO is not only of great significance to Bank of America, but also of great significance to Jingzhou. ”

On the way to the European Hotel, Zhou Shanben has been reading the materials of the International Fashion Festival, and during this time, he also answered a call from Tian Jian.

At 11:20, the delegation of the Bank of America and a group of five people arrived at the European Hotel, and Zhou Shanben led the secretary general of the city and an escort to greet him in the lobby, and then arranged a welcome luncheon. At the beginning of the luncheon, Liu Dong noticed that Zhou Shanben had barely eaten anything except for drinking a small half cup of French dry red when he politely toasted to the guests, so he left the table first.

At 12:10 a.m., Zhou Shanben got into the car again, turned around and rushed to the seaside international resort, met with Director Qin of the Provincial Securities Regulatory Commission, and prepared to inform Director Qin of the problem of stock manipulation of Blue Sky Technology during dinner.

Unexpectedly, on the way to the international resort, I met a group of old men and old ladies waving to stop the car.

Zhou Shanben saw so many people gathered on the side of the road in front of him from a distance, and instinctively realized that something had happened, and although he was in a hurry to rush to the international resort, he still told the driver to slow down and stop. When I stopped the car, I saw that it turned out that two old ladies fainted from heat stroke, and the old men and old ladies who were traveling with them were stopping the car to save people, and it was said that they had been stopped for a long time, but none of the cars were willing to stop.

Zhou Shan didn't think about it, so he asked Liu Dong to call Director Qin, who was already waiting, saying that he would be a little late, and at the same time, he instructed the driver to carry the two old ladies who were suffering from heat stroke into the car and send them to the nearest hospital immediately. The driver knew Zhou Shanben's style, so he didn't dare to slack off, opened the car door, helped carry the two old ladies who suffered from heat stroke into the car, let Zhou Shanben wait here, and drove the car away by himself.

After the driver drove away, Zhou Shanben saw that these old men and old ladies were all disgraced and sweaty, and kindly rebuked them, and said kindly and with concern: "...... It's such a hot day, and it's noon, what kind of tourism activities do you old comrades come out to do, someone must have a heat stroke, you can wait for the weather to be cooler and then come out to travel and relax! ”

As soon as he said this, the nest was immediately blown up, and the old man and the old lady scolded Zhao Fenfang by name one by one, and some cried while scolding.

Listening to the gossip of the old people, Zhou Shanben figured out that these old comrades did not come out to engage in any collective tourism activities by themselves, but because they asked Zhao Fenfang for a pension in person, they were transported by a bus specially sent by Zhao Fenfang to the garbage disposal site at the foot of Dushan Mountain, 20 kilometers away from the city, and thrown away as garbage. The old people reported that they were thrown at the gate of the garbage disposal plant at about 10 o'clock, and they barely managed to get here after walking for more than two hours under the scorching sun of forty or fifty degrees.

Zhou Shanben was so shocked for a while that he didn't know what to say: God, as the mayor of a city, how can our people understand this kind of lack of morality? Is this what the people do! Are you Zhao Fenfang still not a communist? Is there still a bit of humanity and conscience? How can you treat the petitioning old comrades like this? These old comrades can be your parents at all ages!

Zhou Shanben was full of grief and indignation, but he couldn't scold Zhao Fenfang in front of these old comrades, so he had to emotionally bow his hand again and again, and apologize to these gray-faced old people in front of him: "Old comrades, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you, I'm the executive deputy mayor!" I'll find out when I get back, no matter who did it, I'm ...... I'll let her apologize to you! ”

The old people said one after another: "Mayor Zhou, it's not your business, you don't need to apologize, let's go back to Zhao Fenfang to settle the account!" ”

"Mayor Zhou, we know that you are a good person and a model of clean government in our province!"

"Mayor Zhou, if you can stop the car today and take our people to the hospital, it will show who you are!"

"Mayor Zhou......"

"Mayor Zhou......"

Tears burst out of Zhou Shanben's eyes, flowing wantonly on his face: "Don't ...... Say no more, old comrades, stop talking! No matter who did this today, the people of Jingzhou City are responsible, and I, Zhou Shanben, are responsible! Why? Because we, the people, are the people, and we are ...... It's for the people, not ...... It's not heartless, it's a scourge of the people's **! ”

Zhou Shanben asked for his mobile phone from Liu Dong's hand, and personally called the city bus company, asking the bus company's dispatch office to immediately send a 40-seat air-conditioned car to take all these old comrades back and deliver them safely from door to door.

It's really hot, there is no place to shade the roadside, but the old people seem to have forgotten all about the heat, and when they are waiting for the bus, they talk endlessly around Zhou Shanben, and naturally talk about the issue of their pensions. Zhou Shanben had the scorching sun on his head, wiped the sweat on his face and neck from time to time in the dense crowd, listened carefully, and asked the secretary Liu Dong to make a record, and finally said to the old people that he would coordinate and solve this matter immediately after going back, and let the old people talk to Liu Dong three days later.

At this time, Liu Dong had already found that Zhou Shanben's situation was not quite right, and said loudly: "Hey, hey, comrades, Mayor Zhou came out of the hospital today, and his physical condition is very bad, please spread out, okay?" Don't let Mayor Zhou also suffer from heat stroke, fall here! ”

The old people immediately dispersed, and several old people with fans were sweating profusely, but they kept fanning Zhou Shanben with fans.

In the sudden burst of hot wind, the tears in Zhou Shanben's eyes gushed out again: What a good people, what a kind people, I just did something that I should do, but I took on the responsibility that an executive deputy mayor should bear, and gave them a promise that should be given, they were moved, satisfied, and treated you with kindness.

At this time, the driver drove the car back and asked Zhou Shanben to get in the car.

Zhou Shanben stood in front of the car and hesitated, still looking uneasy: "Don't worry, ...... again Wait, wait...... Wait for the bus to come, put the ...... After picking up these old comrades, I ...... Let's go again! ”

The old people didn't follow, and forced Zhou Shanben into the car: "Mayor Zhou, you go quickly, you have a lot of business!" ”

"Mayor Zhou, you have given the order, can the bus company not come?"

"Mayor Zhou, don't worry, even if you don't come to the car, we won't blame you!"

"Mayor Zhou, take care, you must take care more, your face is too ugly!"

"Mayor Zhou, go back to the hospital and rest......"

Zhou Shanben barely got into the car, and after getting into the car, he fell crooked in the back seat.

When the car started slowly, Zhou Shanben supported half of his body again, and finally beckoned to the old people.

The old people's car stop is still three kilometers away from the international resort, Zhou Shanben still wanted to see the resort director Qin after getting on the car, the time should be about 13 o'clock, the director of the city's ** general office Wang suddenly came to a call, saying that a major event had happened, the phone was not easy to say, the leading comrades of the provincial party committee asked Zhou Shanben to stop all the work in hand, and immediately rushed to the city.

Zhou Shanben didn't have the heart to inquire about what was going on, so he leaned in the back seat and made a gesture weakly to make the driver turn around.

This is the last moment of the life of a servant of the people. This moment came quietly on Zhou Shanben's way back to the city. No one can tell the exact time of Zhou Shanben's death, only that this honest and honest executive deputy mayor, the executive vice mayor who constantly wipes his ass for another type of "public servant", and this executive vice mayor who is privately regarded by many people as the most cowardly, died suddenly on the way from the international resort to the city. The car stopped in front of the entrance hall of the city, and the secretary Liu Dong got off the car from the front door and opened the door for Zhou Shanben, only to find that Zhou Shanben, who was crooked in the seat, had no breath. It was thirteen o'clock and twenty-two o'clock.

Secretary Liu Dong was stunned, and rushed into the first conference room of the city almost crying all the way, and reported to a large group of provincial and municipal leaders sitting in the conference room: "Mayor Zhou is dead, died in the car, he ...... He's tired, tired......"

As if a heavy ** was dropped, the conference room was blown upside down all of a sudden.

Liu Chongtian was the first to react in the midst of everyone's extreme shock, and rushed out of the conference room with tears in his eyes.

Then, Quan Sheng, Zheng Bingyi, Li Shiyan and all provincial and municipal leading comrades also rushed out of the conference room.

However, everything is irretrievable...... The scattered ceremonial flowers decorated the night sky of Jingzhou with a gorgeous scene, taking away the brilliant brilliance that the stars and moon should have. Under the dark blue sky, a metropolis that never sleeps is immersed in a festive atmosphere. On the open-air fashion show stage, a famous fashion show team from home and abroad is performing, and the bright spotlight hits those Chinese and foreign models from time to time, creating a kind of flowing beauty, changing beauty, hazy beauty, which can be described as a thousand postures. Under the T-shaped stage, thousands of heads are crowded, and the candlelight is lit, as if the sky is full of stars, and the main venue of the International Fashion Festival, Sun Square, shows the glory of the sun on this festive night.

"This is a festival that belongs to the people," Zheng Bingyi commented while standing on the observation deck of the Municipal Party Committee Building, "In the final analysis, all the struggles and sacrifices of our Chinese Communists are for the interests of the people, which is what we have repeatedly emphasized to the whole party and represent the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people!" Apart from the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, our political party has no interests of its own. Slowly retracting his gaze from Sun Square, looking at Liu Chongtian, Quan Sheng and the other cadres around him, he continued, his tone gradually becoming stern, "But, what about our 60 million party members? Do they all agree with this nature of our party? I can't see it! Zhao Fenfang, Bai Keshu, Lin Yida, these corrupt elements don't agree! They have never represented the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, they represent their own selfish interests! They are not servants of the people, but lords of the people! ”

Liu Chongtian interjected and said: "Especially Zhao Fenfang, it's so bad that even the basic conscience of life has been lost!" ”

Zheng Bingyi said almost angrily: "But this kind of person has climbed to the high position of mayor step by step, and he shamelessly ran to Beijing to buy officials, dreaming of becoming the secretary of the municipal party committee!" What went wrong? Shouldn't we calm down and ask why? We must deeply reflect and review! Comrades, including me! I have been presiding over the work of the provincial party committee for several years, so I am not alert to this Zhao Fenfang! Comrades, please think about it, if our party is full of people like Zhao Fenfang and Bai Keshu, what hope does our party have, what hope does our country and this nation have! ”

Quan Sheng earnestly reviewed and said: "Comrade Bingyi, whether it is Zhao Fenfang, Bai Keshu, or other cadres in Jingzhou, I am responsible, I failed to be a good squad leader, lived up to the expectations of you and the provincial party committee, and made many unforgivable mistakes!" ”

Zheng Bingyi was also not polite, crossed his arms and looked at another round of blooming flowers in the air, and seriously criticized: "Comrade Quansheng, you have made many mistakes!" Bai Keshu didn't talk about it, your review of the provincial party committee was more objective. What's going on with Zhao Fenfang? I have been in a seven-year team with you, not seven days, seven months, but seven years! Didn't you see the bad qualities of this person at all? I don't think so, right? Why don't you criticize, don't educate? The reason is very simple, this mayor is obedient and unprincipled! ”

Liu Chongtian carefully explained: "Comrade Bingyi, Lao Qi also has to have a process of understanding!" After the Jingzhou corruption case, Lao Qi saw Zhao Fenfang's problem, one step ahead of me, Lao Qi adhered to the principles and carried out the struggle. ”

Zheng Bingyi recognized Liu Chongtian's words, was silent for a moment, pulled Liu Chongtian with one hand, and held Quansheng with the other, and said with emotion: "Chongtian, Comrade Quansheng, for this, I want to thank you, and the provincial party committee wants to thank you!" At the critical moment, you have all stood firm and withstood the test of political storms, and your two comrades have stressed party spirit, principles, personality, and morality of communists, so that this grim anti-corruption struggle has not turned into a complicated personnel struggle, and has not caused the situation to get out of control! ”

Quan Sheng said frankly: "Comrade Bingyi, oh, by the way, and Comrade Shiyan, I think I can also say the same: First of all, the leading comrades of your provincial party committee are sober-minded and hold the rudder, so they didn't capsize!" Today I have to admit to you two leaders that I have doubted you and been hostile to Comrade Chongtian, and if you do not adhere to principles and seek truth from facts, the situation may change in another direction, and I am very likely to lose my moral line, and Zhao Fenfang may once again become a profiteous fisherman! ”

Zheng Bingyi was infected by Quansheng's frankness, and asked kindly: "Old Qi, there has been a fierce soul struggle for a while, right?" ”

Quan Sheng admitted: "It's very intense, life and death struggle, I've thought about everything, and even thought about being framed and going to prison." ”

Li Shiyan interjected and said: "Old Qi, it's not you who was framed, it's Comrade Chongtian!" Did You Know? In order to adhere to this principle, I hurt Comrade Chongtian, and once even considered removing Comrade Chongtian from Jingzhou! Comrade Bingyi is still politically firm, and he did not waver when it was critical, and supported Chongtian. ”

Quan Sheng said again and again: "Comrade Shiyan, I know, I know, I know it, Chong Tianzhen is amazing, he just didn't fall!" ”

Li Shiyan patted Liu Chongtian on the shoulder: "Comrade Chongtian, I, I apologize to you again, and please understand!" ”

Liu Chongtian said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's all over, Comrade Shiyan, don't mention this matter again!" ”

Zheng Bingyi thought about it again: "Oh, by the way, Chongtian, Comrade Quansheng, there is one more thing I want to praise, that is, the problem of treating Xiao Bing." You have done a good job, done the right thing, have a stand, and have the political courage to be fearless, which deserves full recognition! ”

Liu Chongtian smiled and asked: "Comrade Bingyi, I have to ask this: if I and Lao Qi report to you earlier, then suppose that if Xiao Bing is not a liar, what if he is really the son of a certain party and state leader?" What will you and the provincial party committee do? ”

Zheng Bingyi didn't think about it and said, "What else can I do?" Deal with it as you guys! The Communist Party of China has no special members, and the People's Republic of China does not have special citizens. ”

Li Shiyan sighed and said, "Chongtian, Comrade Bingyi is right, only selflessness can be fearless!" If every one of our party members and cadres could be as selfless and fearless as you and Comrade Quansheng, the problem of deferred power as you mentioned would not exist......"

Zheng Bingyi glanced at Liu Chongtian attentively: "Deferred power? Is it a new discovery? ”

Liu Chongtian waved his hand: "How is my new discovery?" In fact, it is a very common phenomenon of social corruption that has existed for a long time! It involves almost every one of our party members and cadres, and even I have this problem. A township ** driver has this kind of deferred power because he drove a car for my lover, obviously violating traffic rules, and the leading comrades of the public security bureau took the initiative to come to the door to apologize...... "Liu Chongtian talked about all the strange phenomena he saw and thought of during the handling of the case, and came to a conclusion," ...... Comrade Bingyi, it is necessary to set strict demands on our leading cadres, but the cleanliness of leading cadres themselves does not guarantee that corruption will not be avoided. If we are not vigilant and do not plug the loopholes in the system, the power in our hands is likely to pass through the hands of relatives, friends, and staff around us to complete the exchange of interests. Lao Qi and I have suffered in this regard, my past secretary Qi Universe has done a lot of bad things under my signboard, Lao Qi has suffered not to mention, when I first arrived in Jingzhou, I really thought that Lao Qi's problem was very serious! ”

When Zheng Bingyi listened to Liu Chongtian's story, he kept looking at the ceremonial flowers in the night sky, and only after Liu Chongtian finished speaking, did he turn around: "Comrade Chongtian, it seems that you have not done this case in Jingzhou in vain, not only have you made achievements in your work, but also have gains in your thinking!" I suggest that you think about it again, write a big article, let it go, and I'll let the provincial newspaper send it to you! ”

At this time, several of the brightest fireworks, which hit the sky above the municipal party committee building, bloomed golden, and the silver rain fluttered. Zheng Bingyi asked the secretary to run over and turn off the lights, cut off the light source, and the night sky in front of him became even more colorful.

Liu Chongtian looked at the gorgeous scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and said: "It would be great if Shanben could also stand here!" ”

Quan Sheng sighed deeply: "Heaven is unfair, let such a good person die young......"

The topic was too heavy, and for a while, no one answered, and a sigh and a few sighs sounded in the darkness.

After a while, Zheng Bingyi's heavy voice sounded: "I have a suggestion: break the conventions and stereotypes, and let your four sets of teams in Jingzhou come forward collectively, make careful preparations, and have a simple and grand farewell ceremony to Comrade Zhou Shanben's body." It is necessary to organize party and government cadres above the deputy department level in Jingzhou to participate in the meeting, to say goodbye to Comrade Shanben, and not to ask for leave! Let the comrades take a good look at Comrade Shan Ben, learn from Comrade Shan Ben's spirit of being a public servant who is honest and honest and diligent in serving the people, and truly put the important thinking of the three represents in their hearts! If there is nothing particularly important in the province, Governor Guan and I will all attend. ”

Li Shiyan further suggested: "Lao Qi, Chongtian, think about it, can you sort out the deeds of Comrade Shanben in advance and post them at the farewell ceremony of the body?" Also publish it in provincial and municipal newspapers? ”

This is exactly what Quansheng and Liu Chongtian want to do, and the two immediately said that they will try their best to do this well.

The secretary general of the city was standing far away, but when he heard that the provincial and municipal leaders had made such a decision, he came over and reminded: "Secretary Zheng, Secretary Li, I have to reflect on a situation: since yesterday afternoon, many citizens have called our city's **, and they have asked when to hold a memorial service for Mayor Zhou." In addition, the alley in front of Mayor Zhou's house is also full of wreaths and flower baskets. If the four sets of teams hold such a large-scale farewell ceremony, I am afraid that the ...... of the citizens will also be taken into account" Zheng Bingyi waved his hand and said emotionally: "If the citizens come to voluntarily participate in the farewell activities of the body, do not stop them!" We just want to let the people of Jingzhou know that although there was a serious corruption case in Jingzhou, and the scum mayor Zhao Fenfang jumped from the 10th floor and fell to his death, a large number of good party members and cadres like Comrade Shanben are still working hard and dedicating, and they are fighting hard for this glorious city they are in, and they are fighting hard for their yesterday, today and tomorrow, shedding blood, sweat and tears! ”

This evaluation is fair and objective, sincere and touching, and Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian's tears filled their eyes at once...... Ten days later, the farewell ceremony to the remains of Zhou Shanben, a good mayor of the people, was held in the Moon Square in front of the ** gate of Jingzhou City.

Although they had expected that many citizens would come to participate, Quan Sheng and Liu Chongtian still did not expect that there would be so many people coming. From the morning to the 3 p.m. hearse farewell, Moon Square was crowded with people, and there were no less than 200,000 people in the flow of mourning citizens, which was a spectacle that had never been seen since the opening of Jingzhou for 3,000 years. The director of the History Office of Bogu Tongjin said that the history contains: During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the commander of a county surnamed Tang in Gujing Prefecture led the people to build an embankment to prevent and control sea disasters, but was washed away by the waves, and the people cried on the beach, shaking the government and the opposition.

Zheng Bingyi and Governor Guan made a special trip from the provincial capital, and also brought a group of cadres from the provincial party committee and the provincial government.

Zheng Bingyi delivered an important speech on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, pointing out: Zhou Shanben set a benchmark for our communists with his dedication,—— how to serve the people wholeheartedly? How to implement the glorious thinking of the three represents? Is it just empty talk and formality, or is it deeply rooted in the masses of the people and solving practical problems for the masses of the people in a down-to-earth manner?

Talking about the last day of Zhao Fenfang's death, when he threw a group of old comrades who could not get their pensions for half a year into the garbage dump, Zheng Bingyi said angrily: "...... What a contrast, comrades! The best comrades are in our party, and the most shameless scum is also in our party, and this is the current situation of our party in the process of transforming into a market economy and a society with a legal system! Today, in the face of the remains of Comrade Shan Ben and the familiar party flag covering Comrade Shan Ben, let us all ask ourselves: Are we Zhao Fenfang or Zhou Shanben? Do you want to be Zhou Shanben or Zhao Fenfang? Which part of us is like Zhou Shanben, and which part is like Zhao Fenfang? How judiciously should we use the heavy power entrusted to us by the people? Is it to use power as a ladder, climb to the head of the people and be the master of the people, drink the blood of the people, eat the flesh of the people, and then throw the people away like garbage, or like Comrade Shanben, bend down, carry the heavy yoke, pull the plow and carry the weight for the people, and be willing to be a cow and a horse for the people? This is a historic question, a serious one, comrades! ”

At this time, a huge white banner suddenly rose in the crowd of spontaneous condolences not far away, and two lines of eye-catching characters were written on the banner: "Some people are still alive when they die; Some people are alive, they are dead! Mayor Zhou will always live in our hearts! ”

Zheng Bingyi saw the banner, pointed his hand in the direction of the banner, with tears in his eyes, and said in a not without poignant tone: "...... Please take a good look at the words on the banner, remember the words on the banner, and be sure to inherit the immortal spirit of Comrade Shanben and add glory to our party's fighting spirit! The test of blood and fire during the war years no longer exists, but we Chinese communists must not forget, let alone lose our fine tradition of flesh-and-blood ties with the masses of the people during the war years! Our party did not fall in the flames of war, and we must not fall into the quagmire of corruption! Comrades, please keep in mind that the people's bright eyes will always be on us, always, forever ......"

PostscriptAs the luxury yacht approached, the reef island in front of the line of sight became larger, and Star Island quickly grew from a star in the vast blue waves to a lush land. The island's quaint pavilions and small mountain villages are gradually becoming clearly recognizable. Zou Yueru noticed that wisps of smoke rose above the mountain village.

"It's almost there, Lao Qi and his family must have been waiting on the shore." Liu Chongtian held on to the wheelchair and stood behind Zou Yueru and said.

Zou Yueru turned around and instructed: "Chongtian, I can say it again, unpleasant things are not allowed to be mentioned this time!" ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "Look at you, I'm still not at ease!" Lao Qi and I are not as fragile as you think! ”

Zou Yueru was very serious: "It's not fragile, I don't mean you, but Lao Qi." Chongtian, what do you think, Lao Qi has already taken the initiative to report his resignation to the provincial party committee, and he is about to go to the National People's Congress, which is a serious warning. Xiao Yan was already paralyzed there, and he was sentenced to ten years in prison by the court, and he would not feel good in his heart. ”

Liu Chongtian knew in his heart: "I know, that's why we only went to his hometown for a vacation and rested for two days!" ”

Zou Yueru said angrily: "Didn't you say that it was to accompany me out to relax?" So it's still for your old partner? ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "This is not a contradiction, it can be taken into account!" sighed, "Lao Qi feels uncomfortable, and I feel uncomfortable!" I understood: In view of Xiaoyan's physical condition, the chances of medical parole are still very high. ”

Zou Yueru said: "It's best not to talk to Lao Qi about this, if you can help talk, just talk about it, you are now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee." ”

Liu Chongtian said: "What happened to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee? Can you do whatever you want? Xiaoyan's matter has to be done in accordance with the law, so I can't say more. ”

While speaking, the boat docked, and Quan Sheng and Gao Yaju were waiting on the tourist pier on the shore.

Pushing Zou Yueru off the boat, Liu Chongtian opened his mouth and said: "Lao Qi, Yaju, in the past two days of the National Day, Yueru and I have spent it in your hometown. Within two days, obey the order and listen to the command, everything is up to your arrangement! ”

Zou Yueru laughed and shouted: "Hey, hey, Chongtian, why are it two days?" There is a seven-day holiday on National Day! ”

Quan Sheng took the wheelchair in Liu Chongtian's hand, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Yueru, do you think Chongtian is also me?" I'm free now, I'm even busier in Chongtian, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, it's good to be able to stay on this island for two days. ”

Liu Chongtian smiled: "Lao Qi, don't worry, I promised Yueru in the provincial capital that I will definitely watch the stars on your star island, stay for two days, fish with your old buddy, drink some wine, and chat." Oh, by the way, I have to ask you to read my article on the issue of absolute power and deferred power, and give some opinions, which Comrade Bingyi has taken special care of! ”

The next two days were pleasant, and the National Day in 2001 became a festival of harmony and friendship. The two old partners and the two families who have formed countless grievances and grievances in the nine years of political turmoil have come together again on this day of national celebration. The two women are together day and night, like a pair of good sisters, talking and laughing, as if the two families have never had any unpleasant experiences, and the topics they talk about are also very relaxed, fashion, stocks, prices...... However, on such a rare day of vacation, the mood and topic of the two men are still so heavy.

When fishing together the next day, Liu Chongtian started to do a full job again: "Old Qi, why did you hear that you are a little emotional?" ”

Quan Sheng waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, Chongtian, don't get me wrong!" Comrade Bingyi and I said that we should take the blame and resign and take responsibility, and we are all sincere! Comrade Bingyi didn't agree, blaming me for taking his army, and insisting that I stay in Jingzhou as the director of the National People's Congress! ”

Liu Chongtian smiled knowingly: "So, Comrade Bingyi asked me to talk to your old buddy again this time!" ”

Quansheng held the fishing rod in his hand and looked at the distant continent: "What else is there to talk about?" Heavy God, I also want to open, people have struggled in this life, so forget it. A while ago, I also told Yaju that I didn't leave Star Island before I was 14 years old, and I often sat on the reef by the sea and watched the stars, imagining how big the world was on the other side of the sea? I dreamed of leaving the island and going to the big world on the mainland. It's a big deal, more than 30 years have passed, and now, I'm really looking forward to coming back and living a quiet life! Liu Chongtian patted Quansheng's shoulder and laughed: "Lao Qi, if you really want to become a Buddha on this small island, I won't stop you, but I'll bet with you: in less than a month, you won't be able to stay!" Can you give up the wonderful world on the other side of the sea? Can you abandon the cause of reform, which embodies your hard work? I don't believe it either, it's not your old Qi's choice! ”

Quan Sheng smiled and changed the subject: "Chongtian, do you know?" Tian Jian's death shook Tian Jian, and Tian Jian wept bitterly at the farewell ceremony of Shan Ben's body. A few days ago, I talked to the young man and told him that I hoped that he would stay and serve as the vice president of the reorganized Blue Sky Group and the general manager of the Blue Sky Technology Company. Tian Jian agreed, and decided not to leave and stay in our Jingzhou. ”

Liu Chongtian was very pleased: "Okay, good, if you know about the rare book, you will be happy!" ”

Quan Sheng asked: "Chongtian, how did you hear that the secretary and mayor who are about to come to Jingzhou are very young?" ”

Liu Chongtian nodded: "This is the case, Bai Mingyu, the secretary general of the provincial **, is the secretary of the municipal party committee and is thirty-eight years old; Sun Shaolin, executive deputy director of the Provincial Economic Commission, served as acting mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, 36 years old; These two young comrades have studied abroad and have been trained in different positions, and they are ready to make a public announcement, and if the publicity situation is good, it will be decided. ”

Quansheng sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect this! Comrade Bingyi and the Provincial Party Committee are really courageous, and they sent two comrades who are so young to be the top leaders of the party and government in Jingzhou! Chongtian, can you tell us about it? How did Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee consider this arrangement? ”

Liu Chongtian thought for a moment: "Comrade Bingyi said at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee a few days ago that the experience of Jingzhou has proved that a relatively stable team is beneficial to the economic development of a region. Although there is a serious problem of corruption in Jingzhou, the economy of Jingzhou has been growing rapidly, and only Jingzhou in the province has no pressure of unemployment and layoffs, and Lao Qi, the squad leader, has made great contributions......

Quan Sheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is not my credit, it is the high consciousness of the cadres and masses in Jingzhou and their good work......

Liu Chongtian interrupted Quan Sheng's words: "Hey, Lao Qi, you listen to me first!" Therefore, Comrade Bingyi said that we must draw a profound lesson from the loss of supervision by power, but we must also fully affirm the achievements of Jingzhou in economic development, and we must uphold the successful experience. Once the young leadership of Bai Mingyu and Sun Shaolin is established, it should not be easily moved, because if the leadership is changed too frequently, it is inevitable that some people will rush for quick success and make political earthquakes, which will be very unfavorable to the sustainable development of developed areas. ”

Quan Sheng was convinced: "Well said, Comrade Bingyi said well, seek truth from facts, and be far-sighted!" ”

Liu Chongtian said meaningfully: "Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee hope that your old buddy will help the two young people to control their power!" ”

Quan Sheng was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Chongtian, let's let the young people do it themselves, my time has passed!" ”

Liu Chongtian was a little excited and insisted: "However, power can no longer lose supervision, especially in an economically highly developed area like Jingzhou, Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee very much hope that you Lao Qi will do some exploration in local legislation!" ”

Quan Sheng was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "Chongtian, I'...... I understand! ”

Liu Chongtian told Quan Sheng that Bai Keshu had been sentenced to death in the first trial, and the 32 criminals in the same case had also been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from a suspended death sentence to 10 years or 8 years, and the Blue Sky Group corruption case had basically been closed.

Quan Sheng asked: "How did you hear that there was an accident in court?" Lin Yida prosecuted the procuratorate to the first army? ”

Liu Chongtian admitted: "There was a small setback. This Secretary-General Lin is too slippery, during the interrogation of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, he admitted everything, and some did not, he deliberately confessed indiscriminately, and went to court to retract all his confessions, saying that he was beaten into a trick. As soon as I saw that something was wrong, I immediately asked Chen Liren to submit to the court: take the initiative to withdraw the indictment and supplement the investigation. ”

Quan Sheng asked again: "What about Jin Qiming of the Pyramid Group?" Yes? When will this godfather-level figure be prosecuted? ”

Liu Chongtian said: "The next step is also to prosecute, the Provincial Political and Legal Committee decided that the Pinghu Procuratorate will prosecute, and the court will try it publicly." However, it is expected that there will be a fierce battle in the law, and Jin Qiming and the Pyramid Group have organized a powerful team of lawyers to defend Jin Qiming and the Pyramid Group not guilty, and they have already created public opinion throughout the country. For this reason, Comrade Bingyi specially convened a meeting of comrades from relevant departments and gave clear instructions: The prosecution and trial of the case of Jin Qiming's criminal syndicate must not be influenced by any outside public opinion, and must be done according to law, with facts as the basis, and the law as the criterion. Comrade Bingyi also admonished everyone to be fully mentally prepared to accompany Jin Qiming's amazing lawyer group to bring this lawsuit to the Supreme People's Court in Beijing. ”

Quan Sheng Nene said: "Okay, good, we can't let Jin Qiming and the pyramid slip off, this evil force must be defeated!" ”

Later, Quan Sheng asked a lot about the situation of the other people involved, but he didn't mention his daughter Qi Xiaoyan, who had been sentenced to ten years in prison, until Liu Chongtian and his wife left Star Island, as if they didn't have this daughter.

When parting, Liu Chongtian couldn't help but say it, and quietly pulled Quansheng aside and said: "Lao Qi, I went to the Justice Bureau to ask about Xiaoyan, and there is probably no problem with medical parole, and the situation is very good now, don't worry." ”

Quan Shengyi grabbed Liu Chongtian's hand, and his voice choked: "Chongtian, thank you, thank you for your understanding and care for me!" Xiaoyan committed her own crimes, but in the end, it was ruined by me! I...... If I am not the secretary of the municipal party committee, I don't have much power, and bad people like Zhao Fenfang and Bai Keshu won't do this...... Praise her so much! Afraid that Gao Yaju and Zou Yueru, who were not far away, saw themselves crying, they turned their backs and said as calmly as possible, "Chongtian, you have experience in the care of paralyzed patients, when will you talk to me and teach me." Xiaoyan has been divorced a long time ago, and she is single, so Yaju and I can't ignore it......"

Liu Chongtian looked at Zou Yueru in a wheelchair, his nose was sore, and he nodded with tears in his eyes: "Okay, good ......"

Quan Sheng wiped away the tears in his eyes, regained his composure, patted the back of Liu Chongtian's hand, and said very earnestly: "Chongtian, are you really in such a hurry to leave?" Yes? You see how happy your family Yueru is to play these two days, can't you stay for another day during the seven-day long holiday? ”

Liu Chongtian smiled helplessly: "No, old man, I'm very content to have these two days of leisure!" After a pause, he whispered, "Maybe you have also heard: our relatives of the governor of Guan have problems again, the secretary and his son are suspected of taking bribes, the amount is huge, and the case is complicated. ”

Quan Sheng sighed: "When you, the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, can be idle and have nothing to do, how good it would be!" Then he said, "Chongtian, do you know? Recently, there has been a new discussion in the society, saying that there has been another major political earthquake in Jingzhou, and the epicenter is in the provincial capital, in Beijing. You and I have a backstage, I think it refers to Comrade Bingyi and Comrade Chen Baichuan, saying what kind of political compromise has been reached between our two backsides, so you Liu Chongtian let me go, and I also let you go......"

Liu Chongtian said: "The provincial town has spread even more evilly, saying that Comrade Bingyi will make a show and make a big fuss about Comrade Shanben's death, in order to cover up the bad impact of the major corruption case in Jingzhou. Some people also said that Comrade Bingyi got two young men in their thirties to Jingzhou to serve as the top leaders of the party and government, which is a long-term plan and long-term ambition! He waved his hand, "Let them say it's okay, who can gag them?" However, the facts and truth will never change in any way because of these rumors, and history will never record these rumors in its annals. Isn't the earth still rotating normally, Lao Qi, look, look, isn't the sun still rising! ”

Yes, the sun rises!

It is a new sun in the new century and one day.

The clouds in the eastern sky and the majestic sea are reflected in the rising sun.

The morning sun is like blood...... The sea is like blood......
