Chapter Twenty-Five: The Intricacies of Forces
If the family has money, they can't hide it anyway, and it will always reach Secretary Cheng's ears in the future, so it's better to say it now.
"Oh, you kid is lucky, you will become a little rich man in a flash, you will have to treat you to dinner next time, haha!" Cheng Ziqian was a little surprised, but more happy, turned his head and said to Zhang Zhiguo jokingly: "Zhiguo, it seems that we have time to buy a few lottery tickets, maybe we can win a big prize like Xiao Ye!"
Zhang Zhiguo also laughed and said: "Yes, Xiaoye, do you have any experience to share with us!"
Ye Lingtian's face turned slightly red, and he said with some embarrassment: "I don't have any experience, this is the first time I bought a lottery ticket, or I took the bus to buy a bet to find change, who knows that I will win." ā
There is no way, since this lie has been made up, it has to be continued.
Zhang Zhiguo took a deep breath of cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke for a moment, and said with emotion: "Well, yes, it seems to be such a reason." Many people study every day, but they can't win the jackpot in their lifetime, but those who don't buy often can get the favor of luck. ā
Cheng Ziqian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and concluded: "This is called intentionally planting flowers and flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade!"
The atmosphere immediately became relaxed, Ye Lingtian dusted off his cigarette ash with a smile, and asked cautiously, "Secretary Cheng, you seem to have said that this Guixing is very complicated just now?"
Hearing Ye Lingtian mention this topic, Cheng Ziqian's face became solemn again, his fingers lightly tapped the table, and he muttered for a moment before saying: "I have been the secretary of the county party committee in Guixing County for less than a year, and I only learned after I came that the county magistrate Li Dezhi is the overlord of Guixing County, and most of the Standing Committee members only look at his face and act. ā
Taking a puff of cigarette, Cheng Ziqian continued: "Not to mention below, the leaders of some key departments are his cronies. I've been trying to reverse this unfavorable situation, but it's been too short for me to have much effect. ā
"Secretary Cheng, do you mean that as the secretary of the county party committee, it is not very effective for you to speak in Guixing County?" Ye Lingtian first came into contact with the twists and turns in this officialdom, but he didn't expect that there were so many insiders in it, and his words couldn't help but be a little direct.
was said so bluntly by Ye Lingtian, even if Cheng Ziqian was very good at cultivation, his old face couldn't help but blush slightly, nodded helplessly, and said, "Hehe, so to speak." ā
Seeing Cheng Ziqian's embarrassed face, Ye Lingtian also understood that he was speaking too directly, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "Secretary Cheng, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that." ā
"It doesn't matter, that's just the way it is. Cheng Ziqian waved his hand slightly, after all, he was a long-time official, and his face quickly recovered.
Ye Lingtian was still a little puzzled, and asked suspiciously: "You are the secretary of the county party committee, and you are the number one, can't you adjust the officials below?"
Cheng Ziqian took a sip of the teacup, pursed his lips, and said slowly: "The appointment and dismissal of cadres at or above the deputy department level lies in the standing committee at the municipal level, while the appointment and dismissal of personnel at the level of the section and bureau below must be studied by the standing committee of the county party committee. I only have the right to mention yƬ, that is, I can propose to convene a standing committee to discuss the issue of personnel appointment and dismissal of a certain department, and if I want to get a general opinion, I must have the consent of more than half of the standing committee members. ā
After pondering for a while, Cheng Ziqian continued: "Of course, as the secretary of the county party committee, I can veto it with one vote, but if I really use this power, it will also mean that the differences and contradictions between me and the Li De family will quickly intensify and become difficult to reconcile, and even summon their crazy counterattack, and in the end the gains outweigh the losses." ā
Ye Lingtian frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "Will it be so complicated?"
Cheng Ziqian looked at Ye Lingtian, nodded and said: "Li Dezhi has been operating in Guixing for decades, and the relationship is complicated, the municipal party committee once intended to let him go to other counties to serve as the secretary of the county party committee, but he refused to go, he is going to be the emperor of the soil in Guixing!"
After pondering for a while, Ye Lingtian understood, and hurriedly asked: "Secretary Cheng, what is the relationship between the director of the county public security bureau and the captain of the traffic police brigade and Li Dezhi? And what is the relationship between the boss of the coal mine when my father had an accident and Li Dezhi?"
Cheng Ziqian was a little shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Ye Lingtian to react so quickly, he looked at Ye Lingtian with approving eyes, and said solemnly: "The county public security director's name is Luo Dagang, who was promoted to secretary of the Political and Legal Committee last year, but he still serves as the director of the public security bureau, and he and Li Dezhi are in-laws. Luo Dagang's youngest daughter married Li Dezhi's eldest son. ā,
Extinguishing the cigarette butt in his hand and throwing it into the ashtray, Cheng Ziqian raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and continued: "The captain of the traffic police brigade is called Zhou Lifeng, the son-in-law of Li Dezhi's eldest brother Zhu Guopeng, and he concurrently served as the deputy director of the county public security bureau two years ago. As for the boss of the Qianjin Coal Mine at that time, it was Li Dezhi's mother-in-law, named Feng Jinbiao. ā
In this way, if his father was indeed framed, then Li Dezhi and his family would not be able to escape the involvement, and even the main culprit behind the scenes? Ye Lingtian's heart was shocked, and his face became heavy.
Seeing Ye Lingtian bow his head and ponder, Cheng Ziqian also knew what he was thinking, stood up and took a few steps in the room, and said solemnly: "Xiao Ye, since Comrade Wang Jianmao reported to me about you, I have also learned about the situation in your family, and your father's car accident should be suspicious. ā
Ye Lingtian was about to ask, but Cheng Ziqian waved his hand and continued: "Not long after your father's accident, Feng Jinbiao sold the coal mine, and later it is said that he went abroad, and most of the other parties have also lost news. Most of those people were migrant workers from other places, and Feng Jinbiao sent them a sum of money to let them leave Guixing. ā
Zhang Zhiguo, who was sitting on the side, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and said sternly: "After our investigation, your father is just an individual driver, and it stands to reason that there will be no conflict with the coal mine at all, and even if there are occasional small entanglements, it will not rise to the height of murder." According to speculation, if your father was indeed killed, then it is likely that your father accidentally saw something, heard something, or discovered something, and finally led to the murder and extermination. ā
"Zhiguo is the only person I can trust in the county public security bureau now. If there is anything in the future, you can call him directly. Cheng Ziqian introduced Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian politely exchanged his mobile phone number with Zhang Zhiguo, and then frowned: "In this way, what secrets are likely to be hidden in the Qianqian Coal Mine?"
Zhang Zhiguo shook his head, smiled bitterly helplessly, and said, "I have taken people to Qianqian Coal Mine to investigate several times, but I have found nothing. ā
