Chapter 34: The Dust Settles
; At seven o'clock in the evening of the sixth day, Chen Yang drove to the beautiful number of Green Lake Avenue, and the old dry cake Wa Liu
The buildings inside are generally not high, with only three floors at the highest.
After entering, Chen Yang found the slogan building, carried a basket of fruits and a box of moon cakes and went up.
Stop on the third floor. I knocked on the door on the left.
The nanny who opened the door seemed to have received Secretary Xiao's instructions, and let Chen Yang in after a few simple questions.
In the living room, Chen Yang met Xiao Jian, the legendary very strict secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Xiao Jian had a serious illness a few years ago, and he stayed in the hospital for more than two years, his complexion was a little bad, he was only in his fifties, his hair was gray, and his face was wrinkled, but he sat down and his waist was very straight, especially the two eyes seemed to hide knives. It's chilling, and at first glance, it's out of the army.
"Secretary Xiao, I'm driving by here, and by the way, I'll help Xiang grab two boxes of moon cakes for you."
Xiao Jian glanced at the things Chen Yang was carrying. Nodding slightly, the nanny took the things in Chen Yang's hand, and pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit" Chen. ”
Chen Yang sat down as he said, with an embarrassed smile on his face. He didn't introduce himself, he knew that Xiang Jin should have already helped him introduce him.
"You're the boyfriend Xiao Jin's former before, right?
Ex-boyfriend?
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately knew that Xiang Jin was teasing herself on the phone, and when it was time to be serious, she was still very sensible. Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but show shame, and he nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Jian's gaze softened a little, and for some reason, he sighed again.
Chen Yang was a little restless, not knowing where to start. The main reason for his trip this time was to let Xiao Jian approve a note and let Yan Rou meet Tan Shilin, who was shuanggui in legend. In fact, he also knew that this possibility was very good, anyway, he did his best to obey the fate of God.
After a while, Xiao Jiancai asked again: "You are Chen Yaohua's son, right?" ”
Chen Yang was stunned, not knowing how Xiao Jian knew his adoptive father, but he still nodded.
Xiao Jian asked again: "Is your father okay?" ”
"Fortunately, after going abroad for surgery two years ago, I can now stand up, but if I walk too far, I have to be helped."
Xiao Jian's eyes lit up obviously, grabbed Chen Yang's hand, and asked urgently, "Really?" Is it true? ”
Chen Yang was startled, nodded blankly and said, "Yes, Secretary Xiao." ”
Xiao Jian also knew that he had lost his temper, so he hurriedly let go of Chen Yang, and a rare smile appeared on his face. sighed with relief: "That's good." ”
Chen Meng was a little puzzled about the relationship between his adoptive father and Xiao Jian, so he asked, "Secretary Xiao, how did you know my father?" Are you his old comrade-in-arms? ”
Xiao Jian took a sip of tea. After pondering for a long time, he sighed faintly: "Sort of, I was on the front line in Vietnam back then." I am the deputy commander of the main division, and your father and their division are covering us, and when we hit Hanoi, the division sent your father and their regiment to the periphery to block us, but we were surrounded by a mixed brigade in Vietnam, and we continued to attack Hanoi according to the orders of the Military Commission, and it was in that battle that your father's leg was injured by a stray bullet, and I heard that their deputy regiment commander also died there. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Jian's face showed an undisguised sadness. On the battlefield. Although the names of the troops are different, everyone is brothers who live and die together, and this friendship is really not something that people who have never been on the battlefield can understand.
After a moment of remembrance, he continued: "Afterwards, when I went to visit him in the field hospital. His son-in-law brother Niu had a temper attack, and asked the guards to drive out several of our comrades who had gone to visit the sick in the main division, and also threw out all the canned nutritional products we sent. Hehe. Speaking of this, he just smiled wordlessly and bitterly.
Shaking his head, he continued, "Actually, their regiment didn't lose anything in that battle, but our main force in Hanoi suffered more casualties, and your father is good, and he still holds a grudge against me."
Chen Yang's eyes turned red when he listened, and finally he couldn't help it, turned his head, and secretly wiped away his tears. It was the first time he had heard a detailed account of the battle in which his father died. In the past, every time I asked my adoptive father, my adoptive father would become very silent and silent, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Xiao Jian also noticed Chen Yang's abnormality. Just asked: Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you? ”
"Oh, nothing." Chen Yang shook his head. Forced to laugh. Of course, he would not say that he was the son of the deputy head of the regiment who had died. However, in a moment of excitement, he forgot the purpose of his coming here, got up and said, "Secretary Xiao, I also helped Xiang Jin bring the things, I won't bother you, you can rest first."
Xiao Jian stopped Chen Yang with a smile: "Hehe, you came to me, shouldn't you just send me two boxes of moon cakes?" ”
Chen Yang had no choice but to sit back again, but it was difficult to speak for a long time, and he lowered his head and drank tea.
After a while, Xiao Jian took the initiative to break the deadlock. looked at Chen Yangdao; "Is it because the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection asked you to investigate two days ago? I've read your dossier. ”
Chen Yang raised his head in astonishment and asked, "Did you see it?"
Xiao Jian nodded and said with a smile: "Hehe." Go back and work hard. ”
Only then did Chen Yang pluck up his courage and said: "Secretary Xiao, that's the case, I didn't come to you for my own business, I just wanted to ask you about the situation of Deputy Director Tan of the Provincial People's Congress."
When Xiao Jian heard this, he was slightly stunned, his face gradually became stern, and he asked, "Chen Yang, who are you helping to inquire?" ”
Chen Yang didn't hide it, and said directly: "It's Deputy Director Tan's daughter-in-law, who used to be in the same unit as me, but now she doesn't know the specific situation of Deputy Director Tan, and she is so anxious that she can't become a person." ”
Xiao Jian frowned and pondered, and then said after a while: "That's it, I'll write you a note." ”
Chen Yang didn't expect Xiao Jian to be so easy to speak, and he couldn't believe it for a while.
Xiao Jian saw that he was puzzled, so he explained: "Comrade Shilin's physical condition is very bad now, he can't eat, and he has always only said that he wants to meet Comrade Yanrou. We had already planned to arrange for Comrade Yan Rou to meet him, and now it is nothing to be a few days in advance. You also do the ideological work of Comrade Shanrou
Chen Yang was stunned, he didn't expect that his intercession this time would be redundant, and the Discipline Inspection Commission had already made arrangements. But he still thanked: "Then thank you, Secretary Xiao." When I go back, I will do a good job in the ideological work of Comrade Tong Yanrou and let her cooperate with the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection in handling the case. ”
Xiao Jian smiled and nodded.
After the matter was done, Chen Yang didn't sit anymore, got up and said goodbye and left Secretary Xiao's house.
After seeing Chen Yang go out, Xiao Jianjian returned to the study and dialed the number of the working group with a cold face.
"Team Leader Wang? That's right, I'll let Comrade Shilin's daughter-in-law go to the Lantian Hotel later, and you can arrange for them to meet. ”
"Secretary Xiao, now Comrade Shilin still refuses to say anything, will something go wrong when he sees his daughter-in-law?"
"Do as I say, this case can't be delayed any longer."
"Okay, Secretary Xiao, my good news, the spirit is lifted, she has come to the provincial capital yesterday and found several old colleagues of Tan Shilin, but others are like hiding from the plague, and they don't want to see her, she is now like a headless fly, just wandering around here.
About five minutes later, the two met on the edge of the Green Lake, and without much greeting, Chen Yang drove Shanrou directly to the Blue Sky Hotel.
In the lobby of the hotel, Chen Yang was politely stopped by two staff members of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and only brought Yan Rou up.
Soon, Schanjo followed the team up to the sixth floor and into a spacious guest room.
In the small room, Shanrou saw Tan Shilin, whom she hadn't seen for many days.
Tan Shilin looked haggard. The beard is unkempt, as if he is ten years old.
When Yan Rou entered the room, he was writing at the desk, and when he looked back and saw Yan Rou, he was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but shed a few old tears.
Yan Rou hurriedly stepped forward to hold Tan Shilin's hand, and choked up: "Dad, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Tan Shilin wiped away his tears and nodded repeatedly.
"Dad, you haven't done anything, it's all a disaster for peace and security, why don't you make it clear to the comrades of the Commission for Discipline Inspection?"
"Clearly? Who will believe it? Tan Shilin smiled miserably and looked at Yan Rou, "Xiao Rou, tell me what you mean by heart, do you believe it?"
"Dad, of course I believe you." Yan Rou nodded vigorously, tears welling up in her eyes.
Tan Shilin's face showed a trace of shame, and after being stunned for a long time, he sighed: Xiaorou, the biggest mistake in my life is to let you marry my unscrupulous son, alas, I'm sorry for your dead parents. ”
Yan Rou had tears on her face and shook her head vigorously: "No, Dad, don't say that, you have always been very good to me, I don't blame you." ”
Tan Shilin laughed sadly twice. Laughing at himself, "I don't know what my own son is?" I originally thought that he would be able to reconcile himself if he married you, live a good life with you, and you could help me control him, but I didn't expect to hurt you in the end. How much suffering you have suffered in private, and how much evil that bastard has done. You really think I'm this. Don't you know when the father does?. After a pause, he sighed, "I'm sorry." Xiaorou, I'm too selfish."
Yue Rou stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, desperately suppressing her crying, tears flowing down one by one.
A trace of kindness suddenly appeared on Tan Shilin's face. Stretched out a wrinkled hand to help Yan Rou gently wipe her tears: "Xiao Rou, I can't see you here, it's not a pity for me to die, when I get to Huangquan Road, I'll say sorry to my old brother."
Hearing this, Yue Rou immediately became nervous, raised her head, and looked at Tan Shilin with teary eyes: "Dad, don't scare me, don't say that." Keep going, I'll find a way to get you out. ”
"Don't be stupid" soft. Tan Shilin had a wry smile on his face, shook his head slowly, and then said lightly outside the door: "Comrade Qiang." Please come in. ”
Soon, the door opened, and in came a comrade with a stern-looking look. He is Wang Youqiang, the leader of the working group this time.
Tan Shilin held on to Shinrou's shoulder. Said kindly: "Okay, Bu Rou, you go back first." ”
Yue Rou's face changed, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, Dad, I'm not leaving."
"Silly boy, I'm fine, go back quickly Tan Shilin laughed and looked at Wang Youqiang, "I'm sorry for you, Comrade Youqiang." ”
Wang Youqiang seemed to understand something from Tan Shilin's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded lightly.
Soon, two comrades with sinking faces came in. brought Runrou, who refused to leave, downstairs and out of the lobby.
Outside the glass door outside the lobby, Chen Yang was boredly smoking a cigarette in the courtyard.
I heard footsteps behind me and hurriedly turned around. But when he saw that Shanrou was coerced out by two thug-like comrades, he looked sad, immediately threw away his cigarette butts, greeted him, and scolded angrily: "What are you two doing? She's not a prisoner."
The two of them still had an unsmiling expression, nodded lightly to Chen Yang, and then let go of the leap and walked back.
Chen Yang kind of kicked on the cotton. I felt that I had no place to use my strength, and I was very speechless to see the two cool brothers of the Commission for Discipline Inspection go away.
Yue Rou squatted and hid her face and sobbed for a while, and then she was about to get up and chase back.
"Runro, don't be stupid, it's useless
Chen Yang quickly grabbed her arm. Hard-pulled her back.
Yue Rou finally couldn't help it, and leaned on Chen Yang's shoulder and cried loudly.
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and wanted to push Yan Rou away, but it didn't seem to be appropriate, so don't push her away. When others saw it, they thought they had done something immoral.
I was a little at a loss for a while, and I didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, forget it, just borrow a shoulder for her to lean on
At the end of September, news came from the provincial capital. Tan Shilin, former secretary of the Jiaozhou Municipal Party Committee, explained all the problems to the task force, the most important of which was the fact that when he signed a construction contract with Jiaozhou Xinghai Construction Company, he asked his son Tan Ping'an to accept a bribe of 20 million yuan from the other party.
After the National Day holiday ended in October, the Commission for Discipline Inspection and the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee dismissed Tan Shilin from his post, expelled him from the party, and handed him over to the procuratorate for justice.
Soon after, Lin Hai and Tan Ping'an, the chairmen of Jiaozhou Xinghai Construction, who had been on the run, were also arrested by the police, and in the face of hard facts, they were also handed over to the procuratorate for justice.
With Tan Shilin's confession and Lin Hai's arrest, this serious case caused by the collapse of the Yongjiang Bridge has achieved a breakthrough. The task force acted quickly, and successively dug out a series of related people.
In just one week, the special case group accepted a total of preliminary cases. Investigate and close the pieces, investigate and punish the party members and cadres (including intra-party sanctions). Transferred to the procuratorate. Among them, there are cadres at or above the deputy department level who are criminally punished, and Tian Ren, a cadre at or above the deputy section level involved in the case.
For a time, the whole province shook. Jiaozhou officialdom can be described as a rumor, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.
Even several bureau-level units under Chen Yang had four section-level cadres who had been transferred from the city not long ago involved in the case, and were coldly taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission.
In mid-October, the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee quietly issued an article on the transfer of cadres: Comrade Jiang Tiansheng, the current secretary of the Jiaozhou Municipal Party Committee, will be transferred to the Provincial Health Department, and the post of secretary of the Municipal Party Committee will be replaced by Comrade Fang Yi, the mayor of the city.
In addition, the post of mayor is temporarily vacant, and the provincial party committee will study and decide which cadre to send down in the near future. Before that, Comrade Fang Yi will be fully responsible for all the work in Jiaozhou City.
And so, the dust settled...... Transferred to the procuratorate. Among them, there are cadres at or above the deputy department level who are criminally punished, and Tian Ren, a cadre at or above the deputy section level involved in the case.
For a time, the whole province shook. Jiaozhou officialdom can be described as a rumor, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

In addition, the post of mayor is temporarily vacant, and the provincial party committee will study and decide which cadre to send down in the near future. Before that, Comrade Fang Yi will be fully responsible for all the work in Jiaozhou City.
And so, the dust settled.
