Wu Hongli resisted in words, but took actions again and again, which almost made Li Yuanlang exhausted.

After the storm calmed down, Li Yuanlang habitually lit up a cigarette and took a few deep puffs. Wu Hongli curled up next to Li Yuanlang like a docile kitten, her head and fingertips moving around his body like a coiled snake. Li Yuanlang couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart.

"Hongli, do you know who the second master is?" Li Yuanlang turned around and flicked the ashes of his cigarette in order to break away from Wu Hongli's slender fingers and explore further.

"I don't care about the second master or the third master. I only know that you are my master and I am your maid, responsible for serving you..." Wu Hongli was half teasing, but her hands did not stop.

"To be honest, I have heard the name of the second master more than once, and I feel that this person is very powerful, not an ordinary mortal."

After hearing what Li Yuanlang said, Wu Hongli took it seriously, picked up the mobile phone next to her and dialed a number to ask about the second master's situation.

Soon, the other party sent all the second master's information to Wu Hongli's mobile phone.

Mo Yougen, male, 42 years old, is the general manager of Aoxiang Company. The company is mainly engaged in real estate development, but it also holds shares in bathing centers, hotels and nightclubs in the county. He is an out-and-out wealthy businessman.

At the same time, because Mo Yougen ranked second in the family, everyone called him "Second Master".

Li Yuanlang asked Wu Hongli to inquire about Mo Yougen's family situation. The information sent by the other party said that Mo Yougen only had two brothers in his family. One of his eldest brothers disappeared early on, and there is no news yet.

"Mo Yougen?" Li Yuanlang thought about the name in his mind, and couldn't help but nodded slightly and said three words: "Interesting."

On the morning when Li Yuanlang returned to Xiwu County, he first went to the hospital to visit Xie Ke.

After the doctors' full rescue efforts, Xie Ke was finally out of danger and regained consciousness. He is now implementing the recovery plan formulated by the doctors step by step, and his prospects are very optimistic.

As soon as he sat down after returning to the office, Li Yuanlang received the news that Xiang Tianguang had committed suicide. He didn't say a word, which made Luo Yang, who was reporting to him, confused and couldn't help asking: "Secretary Li, your expression is calm.

,Aren’t you surprised?”

"What's so surprising?" Li Yuanlang responded calmly: "For some people, Xiang Tianguang's death is the best outcome."

Luo Yang couldn't understand the meaning of Li Yuanlang's words, so he opened his mouth to find out more, but Li Yuanlang waved his hand to stop him and asked: "I asked you to search for Qiu Tiemao, do you have his whereabouts?"

"It hasn't been found yet, but according to Lai Cheng's confession, he just beat Qiu Tiemao and let him go. He didn't do any further harm."

"Lai Cheng's words are not credible. Let's go and ask Deputy Secretary Hu to come over."

Luo Yang took the order and went out. Li Yuanlang thought for a moment and dialed a phone number.

"Hello, Secretary Huang, I am Li Yuanlang."

The other party was Huang Weigao, secretary of the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee. He was sitting in the office now, worried for many days, and finally a stone fell to the ground. He sent Wenyi Pavilion away and was brewing a pot of new West Lake Longjing tea and tasting it leisurely.

"Oh, Secretary Li has recovered and is in such a hurry to work. What are your instructions?" Huang Weigao half-joked when he was in the mood.

"Thank you Secretary Huang for your concern. I'm fine." Li Yuanlang said seriously: "I don't dare to give instructions to Secretary Huang. I have something to discuss with Secretary Huang. I want to transfer Lai Cheng to the Discipline Inspection Commission. There is a

The case involves him."

"Well..." Huang Weigao pondered briefly: "Lai Cheng beat you and seriously injured Xie Ke. He only woke up now. It will take a long time to recover. His guilt is not light. At present, our police are in the interrogation stage.

It's still going on, how about this, when the interrogation process is over, I will hand over Lai Cheng to you, how about it?"

"Since Secretary Huang said so, I will wait for your news." After hanging up the phone, Hu Xide knocked on the door and came in. Li Yuanlang invited him to sit on the sofa, handed him a cigarette, and chatted about the causes and consequences of the Qiu Tiemao incident.

This case was handled by Hu Xide, and he remembered the whole process clearly. According to Hu Xide's recollection, the case went from filing to conclusion very quickly, in less than a month.

At the Standing Committee of the Discipline Inspection Commission at that time, there were two different opinions on the outcome.

One type is the hard-liners, led by deputy secretaries Cheng Lili and Lin Fang, who insist on expelling Qiu Tie from the party and expelling him from public office. Such a person with a corrupt life style cannot stay in the party and government departments.

On the other side are Hu Xide and office director Chen Yudong. They think this is too harsh and they can adopt a moderate and compromise approach, expelling party members and demoting administratively.

After all, Qiu Tiemao has made many achievements that are obvious to all during his tenure. This comrade has the ability to work. If he only makes a mistake on one thing, don't beat him to death with a stick. In line with the principle of learning from past mistakes and avoiding future ones, treat illnesses and save lives, give him a

A chance to reform.

The two parties expressed their opinions at the Standing Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, and in the end they came to the point of tit-for-tat. It was the former Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection who finally made the final decision, supporting the hardliners, taking advantage of Qiu Tie, and completely eliminating him from the cadres.

To this day, Hu Xide is still bitter, thinking that Qiu Tie's treatment was too severe and unfair.

After Li Yuanlang learned about it, he did not make any remarks. He called Luoyang and asked the driver Lao Zhang to prepare a car and go to Donggangzi Village to understand on the spot.

In the past, Li Yuanlang had opinions about Lao Zhang, especially since Lao Zhang followed him and Lao Zhang had a relationship with Sui Fengnian. All these things made Li Yuanlang feel that Lao Zhang was a time bomb planted by Rong Zibin around him.

, ready to explode at any time and blow him to pieces.

The key is that that night, if Lao Zhang and his people hadn't arrived in time to rescue him, he might have become the second Xie Ke, even worse than Xie Ke.

At that time, Lai Cheng had already used the knife. With only Li Yuanlang's rudimentary grasping skills, it was difficult to deal with Lai Cheng. Looking back now, he feels scared.

After all, Lao Zhang was also his savior, which made Li Yuanlang temporarily give up the idea of ​​changing drivers.

This time, Li Yuanlang decided to visit privately incognito and instead of driving his own car, Lao Zhang borrowed an old van from a friend.

After getting into the car, while Luo Yang went to get something, Li Yuanlang took the initiative to hand Lao Zhang a Liqun cigarette.

Lao Zhang waved his hands repeatedly and said that he did not smoke.

"Master Zhang, have you practiced before? Judging from your skills that day, you were able to subdue Lai Cheng and the others with three strikes, five strikes, and two strikes."

"To be honest with Secretary Li, I used to be a nominal disciple in the temple and learned a few tricks from my master. The three-legged cat's skills are not worth mentioning, which made Secretary Li laugh." Lao Zhang said very politely.

He said it modestly, but Li Yuanlang felt that the more low-key a person is, the more secretive he is. He had seen Lao Zhang's skills with his own eyes. He could take down Lai Cheng and others in just one or two encounters. How could he be at the level of a three-legged cat?

So simple?

"Master Zhang, no matter what, I still want to thank you for saving me at the critical moment."

"Secretary Li, you're welcome. It's my duty to protect you." Lao Zhang smiled honestly, just as Luo Yang got into the car and stopped talking.

The van went all the way south, passing through Tuanjie Town and walking on the rural road, which was not very bumpy. In terms of road construction alone, Li Yuanlang compared Ganping County and Xiwu County. Every village has either asphalt or cement roads, which is better than Ganping County.

many.

After walking for about another hour, the van drove to Donggangzi Village. This is a small mountain village located on a flat land. The village is not big, with only about a hundred households.

Near noon, many villagers returning from working in the crop fields appeared on the only main road in the village.

Luo Yang opened the window and asked the villagers where Niu Guihua's home was. A kind villager pointed it out to him. Looking at the van, he curiously asked Luo Yang: "Are you cadres from the town?"

Luo Yang did not answer directly, but said thanks and motioned to Lao Zhang to drive in the direction of Niu Guihua's house.

Niu Guihua's house is located in the northernmost part of the village. From the back window of her house, you can see the endless crop fields.

Her yard is very large, with a small vegetable patch in the middle and chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry beside it.

There is a large tile-roofed house with plastic doors and windows, and the windows are bright and clean. In sharp contrast, next to the tile-roofed house is an adobe house with narrow windows, wooden doors, and a roof paved with straw. It feels like if there is a few strong winds,

The house must be blown down.

Lao Zhang parked the car and sat in the car waiting very knowingly. Luo Yang accompanied Li Yuanlang to the gate. Before he knocked on the door, he heard the barking of the domestic dog from the yard.

After a few "bang bang" sounds, Luo Yang knocked on the wooden door several times, and the dog barked more violently. After a while, he heard a woman asking in the yard: "Who is it?"

"Hello, is this Niu Guihua's house?" Luo Yang asked.

"Who are you?" Obviously, the woman talking in the yard must be Niu Guihua herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to answer like this.

"We are from the County Civil Affairs Bureau, and we are here to pay a return visit to poor households." This was discussed before coming. Qiu Tiemao had already applied for subsistence allowances for Niu Guihua's family. This excuse could prevent Niu Guihua from becoming suspicious.

"People from the Civil Affairs Bureau, please wait a moment and I will open the door for you." Niu Guihua said this. She didn't know what she was busy with. Anyway, she could hear a crackling sound in the yard, which lasted for about three to five minutes.

, the door was half-opened from the inside.

A woman's face was revealed, about thirty years old. Although the skin was tanned to a wheat color, the outline of the facial features could be seen. The woman had been dressed up a little, and her appearance was definitely upper-middle class.

Wearing a plaid shirt on the upper body and a pair of light blue jeans on the lower body, the figure is curvy and not fat nor thin.

She looked carefully at Luo Yang and Li Yuanlang behind her, leaning against the door with no intention of letting them in.

"Hello, are you Niu Guihua? I am from the County Civil Affairs Bureau, and this is my work ID." As he spoke, Luo Yang took out his ID from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Niu Guihua.

Niu Guihua nodded and took it for a look. The work permit was not fake, it was issued by Luo Yang. Of course, if you didn't check it online, you wouldn't find anything wrong, because there was no one like him in the Civil Affairs Bureau.

After confirming their identities, Niu Guihua put Luo Yang and Li Yuanlang into the yard.
