Excellent little farmer

I took the stack of receipts, walked back to my desk, sat down and flipped through them for a while. I saw that the amount in the receipts was over three hundred thousand. Some of the remittance dates were more than three years old, and the name of the payee was Anonymous couldn't help but laugh, raised the list in his hand, shook his head and said: "Old Wu! You would rather donate to Project Hope than transfer money to the anti-corruption account!"

Wu Fangzhou smiled and said helplessly: "Secretary Ye, everyone knows some things well. I have no other ideas. I just hope that the money can be used where it is most needed."

I dropped the receipt, stared at Wu Fangzhou sharply, pondered for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Old Wu, if the situation you talked about is true, there should be nothing to worry about."

Wu Fangzhou sighed, spread his hands, and said with a frown: "Secretary Ye, this kind of thing cannot be explained clearly without outsiders present. If Boss Li wants to get away with his crime, or hopes to have his sentence commuted for meritorious service, he should If I talk nonsense in front of the investigators, I will have trouble telling what I mean. If not, I will be implicated and have to stand aside. Even if one day, the truth comes to light, I’m afraid it won’t help. Examples like this are from other provinces. But it happens all the time, and our former mayor also left like this."

I frowned and was about to speak when the phone on my desk rang. I made a gesture, picked up the phone and said softly: "Hello! Hello, I'm Ye Qingquan."

"Secretary Ye, hello, this is Lao Tian." Tian Hongye's deep and hoarse voice came over the phone. He seemed to have a cold, and his voice had a strong nasal sound.

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hello, Secretary Tian, ​​how are you doing lately?"

"so far so good."

Tian Hongye smiled and said politely: "Secretary Ye, I have been wanting to go and see you these days, but there are too many things to do and I am a little busy."

I smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "Old Tian, ​​you just came over, you must be very busy at work, I understand."

Tian Hongye turned sideways, moved the microphone to a lower position, and said with a smile: "Secretary Ye, are you free tonight? Someone wants to ask you out for a chat."

I pondered the other party's tone and understood something in my heart. I stretched out my right hand, fiddled with the pen on the table, and asked tentatively: "Old Tian, ​​do you want to know about the Linshan case?"

Tian Hongye smiled bitterly and complimented sincerely: "Secretary Ye is still very good. He can hit the target with just one guess. I can't help it. My wife makes trouble at home every day. I don't dare to go back. I can only open my mouth with a shameless face."

I pondered and said: "Old Tian, ​​you are also a veteran discipline inspector. You should know that this kind of thing cannot be discussed. It's not that I don't give him face, there is really nothing I can do! The province attaches great importance to this case and requires strict handling."

Tian Hongye took off his thick glasses, threw them on his desk, rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said helplessly: "I understand, I understand, I can't help it! Gui Jin's wife is in the office, already crying into tears. I want to I can’t bear to ask if I don’t help.”

I nodded and said softly: "Old Tian! You should also persuade her to let her do the job of being a husband. Don't force her to do it. Explain everything, return the stolen money, and take the initiative. This is the way out."

Tian Hongye smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll persuade him again, Secretary Ye, remember to come here to inspect the work when you have time."

I smiled slightly, waved my hand and said, "I don't dare to accept the inspection, but if I have time, I will definitely go and sit down."

The two of them were polite and hung up the phone. I knew in my heart that what Tian Hongye did just now was just for show, to show to the relatives next to him. In fact, if he wanted to intervene, he would have had a chance long ago, but this person He was very smart and did not take that kind of risk. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as transferring him from the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Since the two are not in the same unit, there is no conflict, and the current relationship has become very easy to get along with. This is officialdom. Many conflicts do not lie in one person, but in their respective positions. To put it bluntly, they are conflicts of interests. Struggle, struggle for power.

I put down the phone, lowered my head and took a sip of tea. I looked at Wu Fangzhou who was sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. I smiled and said softly: "Old Wu, I understand your concerns. You are afraid of causing an injustice." If the case is wrong, you are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to frame you, right?"

Wu Fangzhou nodded lightly and said solemnly: "Secretary Ye, I'm not going to hide it from you. I wasn't afraid at first, but since I came down from Qingyun Nunnery, I have been thinking about Master Miaoke's reminder every day, and I always feel that there is something wrong. When good things happen, I am always worried, fearing that I will be heartbroken. Moreover, the news coming from over there is that Qin Mingjun should be personally arresting Boss Li's case. You should know very well that in the eyes of many people, I am There must be people who hate Mayor Li Chen’s most important helper and want to get rid of him as soon as possible.”

"You! You just believe in those feudal superstitions and refuse to trust your own comrades. This is very bad. You don't look like an intellectual."

I snorted, made an official accent, crossed my legs, swayed for a few times, glanced at Wu Fangzhou, who was frowning, smiled again, and said in a relaxed tone: "Old Wu, let's do this, you can tell me all the details. Let's talk, even if we have a conversation, as long as you tell the truth, I can guarantee you that no one in Minjiang City can wrongly accuse you."

After hearing this assurance, a big stone in Wu Fangzhou's heart finally fell to the ground. He hurriedly walked to his desk and told the whole story. I listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, took notes, and After all the materials were written, Wu Fangzhou asked Wu Fangzhou to read it again, signed it, and then put it in the file bag together with the relevant receipts. He opened the drawer and threw it in. He smiled and said: "Old Wu, I will ask for it later." Be careful, we people are in a special position, and if we make friends accidentally, we can get people killed."

Wu Fangzhou nodded, chatted for a few more words, then stood up to leave. After walking to the door, he turned around and said mysteriously: "Secretary Ye, Huang Haichao seems to have obtained some evidence. It may not take long. Secretary Guo Hui’s brother will be taken away.”

I smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I know, thank you."

The two of them looked at each other knowingly, and Wu Fangzhou quickly went downstairs and walked out. I returned to the desk and stood in front of the window holding a tea cup. I looked at Wu Fangzhou's leaving figure and smiled. He said calmly: "The essence is not bad, it can ensure that he passes the test."

In the office of the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, Bao Changrong lowered his head to review documents. After a while, he put down his signature pen, took a sip of tea, rubbed his temples with his hand, touched the landline on his desk, dialed a number, and said softly: "Secretary-General Du Li, please come over to my side."

Ten minutes later, Lu Gaoyang knocked on the door and walked in. He pointed at the clock on the wall and said with a smile: "Secretary, do you have to work overtime again?"

Bao Changrong smiled, stroked his hair, and said in a low voice: "There have been too many things lately, and I feel a little annoyed. I want to talk to you."

Lu Gaoyang nodded lightly, walked to the sofa and sat down, took out a cigarette and lit it, frowned and took a puff, puffing out thick smoke from his mouth. After a long while, he said with a smile: "Secretary, what are you doing today?" You don’t look very good, did you not get enough rest last night?”

Bao Changrong shook his head gently, put down the tea cup, and said with some emotion: "When I got up in the morning and combed my hair, another white hair fell out. Now I really feel that I am old and unable to do many things."

Lu Gaoyang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Maybe you have been too worried recently. Just finish this time quickly and take a good rest. Among the Standing Committee members, your body is still very strong. You should not be so negative." idea.”

Bao Changrong nodded without saying a word, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, then sat back on the leather chair, tapped the table with his fingers slowly, and said calmly: "How about these? What's the reaction below?"

"Not good!" Lu Gaoyang frowned, paused, considered the words, and asked tentatively: "Secretary Bao, if we continue like this, will there be trouble?"

Bao Changrong waved his hand and said lightly: "Cracking down on organized crime is a great thing that pleases people. What trouble can happen?"

Lu Gaoyang stopped talking, smiled, nodded and complimented: "Yes, the general direction is still good. Although there are some minor problems, they should be under the control of the secretary."

Bao Changrong glanced at him and said with a smile: "Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Lu Gaoyang squinted his eyes and said slowly: "Huang Haichao's move this time should be quite big. According to my estimation, he should have mastered something before. Taking advantage of this opportunity to fight against blackmail, he is likely to make a few shots. We were dealt an unexpected card, and some of the cadres below lost their composure. They called us and offered advice in a roundabout way, advising us not to continue it, so as not to end up with a lose-lose situation and a bad ending."

Bao Changrong snorted, pulled the ashtray in front of the table, lightly dusted the cigarette ashes, and said with some dissatisfaction: "If the butt is not clean, the bones will be soft, and you will not be reliable at critical moments, Du Li! Who are those cadres with guilty consciences? You have to make a note of it. Even if they don’t have any problems this time, we will still find opportunities to make adjustments in the future and purify the team so that we don’t become a grenade for others to attack us.”
