When I arrived at Lin Guowei's house, it was already five o'clock, and it was still more than an hour before dawn. And Lin Guowei's study was still lit up, when Yang Luo pushed open the door of the study, Lin Guowei was resting his legs on the desk, leaning on the back of the chair, tilting his head to smoke, and the small space was made by him smoky. Even when Yang Luo came in, he didn't notice it, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yang Luo walked to the window and opened the window, and a cold air rushed in to wake Lin Guowei up. Rubbing his sour eyes, he pressed the cigarette he had just smoked a few puffs into the ashtray.

"It's coming!"

Yang Luo turned around and looked at Lin Guowei, "Why are you so haggard?" ”

At this time, Zhao Yang walked in with two cups of tea, and then put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him: "I'll go out to buy breakfast, and Uncle will eat here." ”

Lin Guowei waved his hand: "Go!" ”

Zhao Yang turned to leave, Lin Guowei took a sip of the teacup: "The water in the south is getting muddy, I sent three people to investigate the reason, but the boat capsized, and all three of them fell into the river and choked to death by the muddy water." ”

Yang Luo frowned, and squinted his eyes slightly at Lin Guowei: "The water there is muddy, and it is not caused by a day or two. It's not that you don't know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has been controlled by local forces, and even if the secretary of the 1st Provincial Party Committee or the 1st Provincial Governor is parachuted above, it will be difficult to carry out work. For a period of time, because the airborne secretary and the provincial governor joined forces to clean up the local cadres, in the end, the two of them were defeated and resigned. Later, for the unity of the party committee and economic development, the above also compromised, and until now it has been controlled by local forces, and it is difficult to get involved. And when is it? The 18th National Congress was held in June, and you are not comfortable meddling in the affairs of the south at this time? ”

Lin Guowei was only 49 years old after this year, and only three of the eight vice ministers of the Ministry of Public Security were at the ministerial level, and he was one of them, an alternate member of the Central Committee No. 1. More importantly, his age also occupies a great advantage, although he is not the youngest ministerial-level official in China, but in a powerful department like the Ministry of Public Security, he definitely belongs to the age of young and powerful. If he hadn't met him before the old man, his qualifications were indeed a little shallow, and the qualifications of several other vice ministers were older than him, and there was also a member of the Central Committee No. 1 and an executive deputy minister, and the chances of being in the position were really small. But since the old man met him, there was no suspense. No matter how old the executive deputy minister is, he has to give in, and he can't accept it. When the 18th National Congress was held in June, Lao Li retired, and Lin Guowei was elected as a member of the 1st Central Committee of the Central Committee and the Minister of Public Security, and at the 12th National People's Congress in March of the Chinese New Year, he nominated a state councilor, that is, he was truly at the vice national level and entered the ranks of national leaders. But at such an important time, he wants to meddle in the affairs of the south, why is he not uncomfortable? And when he came to the airport to pull him over, he must have wanted him to pass, but he really didn't want to go through the troubled waters there.

Lin Guowei didn't seem to see the unslow expression on Yang Luo's face: "Yang Luo, how is our relationship?" ”

Yang Luo pouted: "It's not good, I'm not familiar with you at all!" ”

Lin Guowei smiled bitterly, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table and lit one, and then took a deep breath: "Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and they will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, this is instinct, and I am no exception." But secondly, I'm still a policeman, even if there is a trap in front of me that can break my bones, because the clothes on my body don't allow me to escape, so I can only jump in...... You should know how I got to this position step by step. If we are afraid of offending people, if we run away from things, can we still be friends? Will the old man appreciate me that much? ”

Two questions in a row made Yang Luo stunned, and Lin Guowei continued: "The chaos in the south has reached the point of anger and resentment, and it will not work if it is not governed, but no matter who goes over, it is estimated that it will be enough to come back completely." So, only you can help me. ”

Yang Luo waved his hand: "Don't put a high hat on me, I won't eat your set." Whoever loves goes, I don't go anyway. ”

Lin Guowei said: "The two above know that you are coming back, and they must be looking for you." ”

Yang Luo blinked: "So, those two old men asked me to go, and you just informed me?" ”

Lin Guowei smiled: "Sort of, but I proposed to let you go, and they agreed." ”

"I'm 1!" Yang Luo is really strangling Lin Guowei now, "You *** not only made trouble yourself, but also pulled me into the water, I really want to kill you." ”

Lin Guowei said: "It's useless for you to kill me, this matter has been decided." And according to the information I got, the chaos in the south is related to Liu Kangyong, so you can only go, no one can go. ”

As soon as Yang Luo heard Liu Kangyong's name, he bared his teeth, "Do you know who Liu Kangyong is?" ”

Lin Guowei said: "I know, the godson of the old man! ”

Yang Luo yelled angrily: "Do you *** know that you are still going to provoke him?" ”

At this time, the door of the study was pushed open, and Zhao Yufang rushed in in a panic with an apron: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Why did you two get into a fight? ”

Yang Luo and Zhao Yang came back just now, Zhao Yufang had already woken up, and when she got dressed, she went out of the bedroom, and didn't see Zhao Yang go out to buy breakfast, so she planned to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, and then she heard Yang Luo's roar, which startled her, and she didn't know what happened to the two of them, so she hurriedly ran in.

Yang Luo took a breath, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law, we can't fight." ”

Zhao Yufang patted her chest and said angrily: "I was almost scared to death by you, if you have something to say, don't shout, I'll make you breakfast." With that, he walked out again, and closed the door with his hand.

Lin Guowei took a hard puff of his cigarette and stared at Yang Luo with his eyes: "Are you afraid?" ”

Yang Luo snorted coldly: "Don't tell me that these are useless, let me tell you, just go to those two old men to find me, and I won't go." ”

Lin Guowei slowly retracted his gaze: "What if I say that the old man has already agreed?" ”

Yang Luo said: "I don't need you to say this, I can guess it." It is impossible for the two old men above not to ask the old man's opinion on this matter, and if the old man does not agree, you will not call me to your house today. ”

Lin Guowei was a little surprised at this time: "The old people have agreed, what are you worried about?" ”

Yang Luo looked at Lin Guowei: "Did you really not understand, or did you pretend to be stupid with me?" ”

Lin Guowei shook his head: "I really don't know, what do you mean by telling me these words!" ”

Yang Luo sighed: "Lao Lin, if you have such a little political wisdom, I advise you not to be a minister." Really, that's too dangerous for you! ”

Lin Guowei frowned tightly: "You mean to say that the two above let you go to the south to rectify law and order on the one hand, and the most important thing is to let you be a knife and cut a hole in the southern province?" ”

Yang Luo picked up a cigarette and lit one: "Even if you are not stupid, it is estimated that the old man is not satisfied with the south, so he will agree to do it to Liu Kangyong." But you have to understand that even if the old man agrees, Liu Kangyong is also the godson of the old man. And this godfather is not like other people, who recognize it casually. During the Sino-Japanese War, all the relatives of the old man, including his wife and children, were killed by the Japanese. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he married his second wife, who was almost twenty years younger than him, but he never had children. It wasn't until six years after the start of the ten-year catastrophe that the old man was in his fifties, and his wife suddenly became pregnant, which is now the eldest son, and he is definitely a real child in his old age. But while he was still immersed in joy, disaster befell him, he did not avoid the catastrophe, he was subjected to a powerful impact, was seized power, and sent to Qincheng Prison, if it were not for the care of the deputy warden at that time, he would not have come out alive. Later, the deputy warden was implicated in taking care of him and was brutally persecuted to death. And this deputy prison director is Liu Kangyong's father, Liu You. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Luo didn't take a few puffs but pressed the burned cigarette into the ashtray, and then lit another one, "At that time, Liu You was afraid that the old man's pregnant wife would also be persecuted, so he took her to his home to protect her and live with his wife who was also pregnant. Two children were born in the same month, and the eldest son was only a few days older than Liu Kangyong. When the child was two years old, Liu You was persecuted to death, and then the old man's wife did not escape the doom, and Liu You's wife hid in the countryside with her two children. When the ten-year catastrophe was over and the old man was rehabilitated, he found Liu You's wife and two children. At that time, Liu You's wife was also terminally ill due to overwork and malnutrition, and died within a few days. ”

In fact, the life of the old man is not a secret, and it can be found on the Internet. But not many people know about the relationship between Liu Kangyong and the old man, but Lin Guowei knows it, but he didn't interrupt Yang Luo's words, and has been listening quietly.

Yang Luo took a puff of cigarette, looked at the smoke wafting in front of him, and his eyes were a little vain: "Let's put it this way, without Liu You, there would be no old man today, and Liu You and his wife also died because of the old man, such a great kindness, how can you say that you can let it go?" And Liu Kangyong was raised by an old man, no different from his own son. When he said that he agreed with your investigation of Liu Kangyong, what kind of pain he would have in his heart was not something you and I could understand. ”

Lin Guowei took a deep breath: "The old man said that no matter who violates the law, they must be severely punished and must not be tolerated. ”

Yang Luo said: "The situation in the south now is similar to that of Quyang at the beginning. It's just that whether it is the small county town of Quyang or Zhou Heng, it can't be compared with Nanbian and Liu Kangyong. That's the difference between a small fishing boat and an aircraft carrier. To deal with Zhou Heng, I can let go of my hands and feet, and play as much as I want. But it can't be done to Liu Kangyong, first, the location is there, and second, the old man is there. Although the old man also said that no matter who he is, as long as he violates the law, he will be severely punished. But if you break the law, you have to find evidence. If I mess around without evidence, even if the old man believes me, I can't make the old man sad. ”

Lin Guowei said: "You are just afraid that the old man will be sad, so you let the chaos in the south go on and ignore it?" ”

Yang Luo shook his head: "This is just one aspect, now the various ministries and commissions, how many of them are from the southern department, you know better than me." I'm going to the south, and that's to poke a big hornet's nest. If things don't work out well, you'll blame me. If it is done well, it will offend people, and it is not one or two, it is a large group, it is the entire southern system. You say, whether I do this well or not, it will not do me any good, so why should I go? Do you think I'm like a heartless eye? ”
