"What can we do? If we pissed off Crabgrass, this kid will definitely take revenge on us." Ma Zesheng said worriedly when he saw Crabgrass running away.

A good man acts like a good man. Li Yuanlang told Ma Zesheng that he would blame him for everything, saying that it was all Li Yuanlang's doing.

It seemed that this was the only option. Ma Zesheng couldn't afford to offend Ma Tang, and he didn't dare to offend Ma Shengran. At the critical moment, he introduced Li Yuanlang. After all, he was the executive deputy township head, but he was much better than him, the director of a small village.

Because of the crabgrass incident, no one had the time to eat. Ma Zesheng asked the old janitor to simply fry four dishes for everyone to eat. Han Wei drove Li Yuanlang and Chang Ming back to Shuiming Township.

The three people were still calculating in the car. Ma Tang must have told his father, Ma Shengran, about this. Maybe Ma Shengran was furious and sitting in the office, waiting to settle the score with the three of them.

But they underestimated Crabgrass and thought of him too simply. This guy is different from Hengyong. Hengyong is just a big loser. Crabgrass is full of tricks and tricks. He will not rush to take action. He is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity.

A chance to win with one hit.

In the next ten days or so, Li Yuanlang and Chang Ming visited all village primary schools in the township, and also went to the village-run kindergarten in Liujiadi for inspection.

Li Yuanlang met Liu Wanquan, the legendary rich man, for the first time. He was in his forties, had a fat head, big ears, a fleshy face, a bald head, and a big gold chain hanging around his neck. He didn't look like a village cadre at all.

It would be more appropriate to say that he is a figure in the world.

Liu Wanquan had a fierce look on his face, but he liked to laugh very much. When he saw Li Yuanlang, he always smiled with a smile on his face, and his mouth was full of gold.

Li Yuanlang finally understood that Liu Wanquan was not a smiling tiger. He smiled and showed his teeth because he was worried that others would not see his gold teeth. While others kept a low profile and did not reveal their wealth, he did the opposite and deliberately exposed his own high worth.

When I came into contact with Liu Wanquan and listened to his conversation, I felt that he was full of scorn. He relied on his wealth and arrogance to ignore Li Yuanlang, the executive deputy township head. This further confirmed that Ma Zesheng was right, Liu Wanquan had invaded and occupied the country.

The facts about the land in Xiayangma Village are clear. Liu Wanquan also acknowledged this, saying, "I am like this, what can you do to me?"

Li Yuanlang has been running around the village and rarely returns to the township government. Wu Hongli often calls him and tells him about things happening in the township, so that he can be aware of it and avoid becoming blind and deaf.

Things have been quiet in the countryside recently, but Xiao Zhanzhan has changed a lot. He sits in the office all day without leaving the house, often locking the door and not knowing what he is doing inside.

During several meetings, Xiao Zhanzhan kept yawning and listless. What was even more different from before was that he no longer had conflicts with Ma Shengran, and everyone followed Ma Shengran.

Ma Shengran said one thing but not the other, and Ma Shengran pointed something in the east but he didn't say anything in the other direction. He completely lost the energy to compete with Ma Shengran and became a complete follower.

Li Yuanlang also wondered how Xiao Zhanzhan could change so quickly after a drink, and he no longer recognized him.

That night, Li Yuanlang drove back to the township government. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. He parked the car and was walking towards his dormitory when he saw a dark figure swaying in front of him. His destination seemed to be the township government building.

Who would go to the office so late?

Out of curiosity, Li Yuanlang took two steps to follow him. From a distance, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on the other person's body. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was Xiao Zhanwang.

"Chief Xiao, why are you going so late?" Li Yuanlang caught up with Xiao Zhanzhan, grabbed him and asked.

"Leave me alone..." Xiao Zhanzhan actually threw away Li Yuanlang's hand and smiled bitterly: "Brother Li, my life is miserable. I feel uncomfortable here." He pointed to his heart.

"Brother, if you have anything to say, tell me, go, go to my dormitory and I will chat with you."

"It's useless." Xiao Zhanzhan shook his head in disappointment, looked up at the night sky and sighed: "No one can help me, I deserve what I have today..."

After saying that, he swayed his body with one foot high and one foot low, and walked straight into the township government building.

Alas, what happened to Xiao Zhanzhan to make him so decadent? Li Yuanlang helplessly shook his head and walked to the dormitory in the backyard.

After being busy for several days, Li Yuanlang went to bed early. He slept soundly that night, and if he hadn't been awakened by a sudden banging on the door, he would have been dreaming for a while.

The person who knocked on the door was Wu Hongli. She didn't care that Li Yuanlang was only wearing a shirt and underpants. There were no distinctions between men and women. When Li Yuanlang opened the door, he hurried in and said in a confused voice: "It's so scary. I heard that my neck was broken."

, die completely.”

"Sister Wu, what, who died?" Li Yuanlang asked in confusion.

"Mr. Xiao, he hanged himself in his office last night."

"What!" Li Yuanlang was shocked, Xiao Zhanwang! Is he dead?

"He is really dead. The forensic doctor of the County Public Security Bureau is conducting an autopsy. If you don't believe me, just go and take a look and you will know." Wu Hongli's face turned pale, she was probably frightened.

Li Yuanlang hurriedly ran out. After running a few steps, he came back. He was not wearing any coat or pants.

After he quickly dressed up, he and Wu Hongli went to the township chief's office on the far west side of the second floor. At this time, a large group of people had gathered far away, blocked by cordons. There were also two township police stations.

The police are responsible for maintaining order.

Among the crowd watching the excitement, in addition to the ordinary staff of the township government, there were also deputy secretary Zhang Guorui, political and legal committee member Gao Canru, organization committee member Tan Gang, and director of the Party and Government Office Liu Shuxi.

Later, Deputy Township Chief Yuan Chunqiu, Deputy Township Chief Fan Zheng and Assistant Township Chief Chang Ming also arrived. They all probably got the news and came to see the situation.

Li Yuanlang stood next to Zhang Guorui and asked about the situation inside. Zhang Guorui shook his head. Like Li Yuanlang, he basically knew nothing, but he only came a few minutes longer than him.

Criminal policemen in police uniforms were busy coming in and out of Xiao Wangzhan's office. Li Yuanlang stood behind the crowd, tiptoeing towards the office, and suddenly saw Zhang Quanlong's figure appearing at the door, talking to a policeman.

They were all old acquaintances, so Li Yuanlang waved to Zhang Quanlong and shouted: "Director Zhang!"

Zhang Quanlong saw Li Yuanlang following the voice, nodded slightly to him, indicating that he still had work to do, and would contact Li Yuanlang later.

Xiao Wangzhan's suicide by hanging was like having wings. He quickly flew from Shuiming Township to the entire Ganping County and reached various township government departments.

Well, a Tangtang township party committee deputy secretary and acting township head died in his office for no reason. This is something that has not happened in Ganping County for decades, but it has really happened.

After Fang Yukun heard it, he had only two words: shocked.

When Jin Sheng got the news, he frowned and immediately called Li Yuanlang on his mobile phone. As a result, he called Li Yuanlang several times but no one answered, leaving him confused and pacing back and forth in the office alone with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, the red internal phone on the table rang. Jin Sheng hurriedly answered it. Just after saying "hello", Fang Yukun's slightly nervous tone came: "County Magistrate Jinsheng, I just received a notice from the municipal party committee general office."

, let’s go to the municipal party committee now, Secretary Shui wants to see us, probably to ask about Xiao Zhanzhan’s suicide.”

"Okay, I'll be there right away. Let's meet up at the gate of the county committee."

It's not that Li Yuanlang didn't answer Jin Sheng's call. At this time, he was sitting in a small room in the township government, being questioned by Zhang Quanlong and two policemen.

This was proposed by Li Yuanlang on his own initiative, and he became the last person to see Xiao Zhanzhan last night.

It turned out that the township government wanted to arrest the old man, but he secretly drank and fell asleep. The door was not locked. Xiao Zhanzhan did not see him and went directly to his office.

This time it was an ordinary investigation. After Li Yuanlang answered truthfully, Zhang Quanlong sent away the two criminal policemen who were taking notes, handed Li Yuanlang a cigarette, moved a chair and sat in front of him, and without violating the principles of handling the case, briefly told Xiao Zhanzhan

Investigation of the scene of suicide by hanging.

The possibility of Xiao Zhanzhan committing suicide is very high, and homicide can basically be ruled out.

Zhang Quanlong asked Li Yuanlang to help analyze the motive of Xiao Zhanzhan's suicide. Li Yuanlang shook his head: "Well, Township Chief Xiao has been acting abnormally and in a daze recently. Ever since I had a drink with him, his whole person has changed.

He is distracted and often talks incoherently..."

So, Li Yuanlang told Zhang Quanlong what he saw Ma Tang and Gao Yuee'e talking together upstairs that afternoon, which might be helpful to him.

At the same time, Fang Yukun and Jin Sheng, who were far away from the Guangnan Municipal Party Committee, were also listening to the instructions of Shui Qingzhang, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and Xu Zhongde, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.

These two city-level bosses are very concerned about such a big event in Shuiming Township. Nowadays, with the development of the Internet and the rapid spread of news, it has already made a fuss and everyone knows about it.

Therefore, Shui Qingzhang and Xu Zhongde immediately issued three points to Ganping County. First, in order to stabilize the situation, quickly select a candidate to succeed the township head. Second, announce the progress of the matter to the public at any time. Do not hide it, but give it to the public.

The general public gives a satisfactory explanation. Third, the police are required to solve the case as soon as possible and restore the truth.

The last two items are easy to say, but the key point is the first one, who will succeed the position of mayor of Shuiming Township.

Fang Yukun immediately mentioned Li Yuanlang, but Jin Sheng unexpectedly took the initiative to express his opposition. The reason is very simple. Just over three months ago, one of the two mayors of Shuiming Township was demoted to the county CPPCC office, and the other lost his life.

What was originally a hot seat suddenly became a hot potato. Jin Sheng did not want Li Yuanlang to take this political risk.

Fang Yukun weighed the pros and cons and agreed. The main reason was that Li Yuanlang had regained the appreciation of Shui Qingzhang and might be transferred back to work in the county soon, and would not stay in the whirlpool of right and wrong in Shuiming Township.

It is rare that in the selection of Shuiming Township's successor as mayor, the secretary and the county magistrate were surprisingly unanimous, eliminating Li Yuanlang directly.

Then, among the remaining people, the only ones to take over are Deputy Township Chief Yuan Chunqiu and Deputy Township Chief Fan Zheng.

Because Chang Ming is still relatively junior, the most important thing is that he is Chang Dongfang's nephew, so he will not be allowed to swim in this muddy water.

Fang Yukun acted resolutely and asked Wang Zumin to talk to these two people immediately. According to the principle of progression, the first person to talk to was Yuan Chunqiu.

This big chimney was sitting in Wang Zumin's office, smoking one cigarette after another, his brows almost coming together, and he finally said four words: "I can't do it."

Fan Zheng, who is not a smoker but has become a heavy smoker, already guessed that the organization director was talking to him. He shook his head like a rattle and said two words: "I will definitely not do it."

This time, Wang Zumin was stumped. He searched among the remaining party committee members for a long time, and finally picked up the phone, dialed a series of numbers, and said: "Yuen Long, the position of the mayor of Shui Ming Township is now a hot spot.
Chapter completed!
