On the floor of the living room, there was a hundred-dollar bill, which was very eye-catching.

Liu Tianfu's wife, who was wiping her hair, quickly picked it up and put it into her pajamas pocket, and hurriedly explained: "I dropped it."

Li Yuanlang smiled. Could it be that the money in her family belongs to someone else?

Liu Tianfu glared at his wife, "Mayor Li is here, why don't you go cook some vegetables and get a bottle of good wine?"

"No need to be busy, sister-in-law." Li Yuanlang raised the convenience bag in his hand, "I bought some wine and food, sister-in-law, please prepare two wine cups."

The woman smiled and replied: "It's not troublesome, it'll be fine in a moment."

Li Yuanlang said: "I'm interrupting tonight because I want to talk to Brother Liu about something."

When Liu Tianfu heard this, he told his wife, "You can take the rice bowl and eat it in the house while we talk about business."

The woman agreed, went to the kitchen, filled a bowl of rice and a small plate of dishes, walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

Here, Liu Tianfu poured the cooked food and vegetables brought by Li Yuanlang onto the plate.

Li Yuanlang sat at the dinner table and saw only a plate of fried cauliflower and a bowl of tofu soup.

I have to say that Liu Tianfu and his wife are really frugal.

The last time I ate noodles, this time I visited unexpectedly, the soup was still plain and the food on the table was simple and not as good as that of ordinary people.

It's really admirable.

Soon, four things were served on the table, and Li Yuanlang asked Liu Tianfu to deliver them to his wife in batches.

Liu Tianfu bought some chopsticks and plates for Li Yuanlang, while shaking his head, "No, she's losing weight."

"My sister-in-law is not fat, so why lose weight?" Li Yuanlang joked.

"Who knows what kind of evil disease he has? As a woman, you can't be sure."

While talking, Liu Tianfu brought over a bottle of white wine, which was not very expensive, Yunshui Daqu.

Mid- to low-end, a bottle only costs more than 30 yuan.

After opening it, he filled it up for Li Yuanlang first, and then poured it for himself.

Sitting down, Liu Tianfu raised his cup, and Li Yuanlang each took a sip.

Liu Tianfu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Mayor Li is here tonight, is it about Ruan Haiqing?"

Li Yuanlang did not answer directly, but asked: "What did you think of Ruan Haiqing's behavior when you saw Ruan Haiqing at the fire scene today?"

Liu Tianfu took a mouthful of food and said slowly: "How should I put it, I don't think there is anything to make a fuss about. His brother-in-law's house was on fire, and he wanted to protect it out of selfish motives. It is normal to do so."

Li Yuanlang played with the wine cup with his fingers, playing with the taste: "The things found in his house, not counting the money burned, are worth eight million. Is this normal?"

"So much!" Liu Tianfu's hand holding the food froze in mid-air. Apparently this news frightened him, with disbelief written all over his face.

"County Magistrate Liu, who would put a lot of money in an unoccupied house these days without fear of losing it? From a normal perspective, valuables such as money and gold and silver jewelry should be deposited in a bank or rent a safe in a bank.

It’s the safest.”

"It's understandable to hide it at home. But to do the opposite, there is only one possibility, and that is that you don't want outsiders to know the existence of these money and things."

Liu Tianfu was rendered speechless by Li Yuanlang's words, and he could only keep his head down and drink.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. But if his brother-in-law insists that these things are all his and have nothing to do with Ruan Haiqing, no one can do anything to him."

"Mayor Li, I know what you think, and I will support you on Ruan Haiqing's matter."

"However, as a partner and a big brother who is a few years older than you, I would like to advise you that Ruan Haiqing has a very deep foundation and it is best not to touch him, so as not to make you passive and end badly."

Li Yuanlang frowned, "How do you say this?"

"As far as I know, Ruan Haiqing has strong connections in the province. Secretary Wei initially supported the investigation of Ruan Haiqing, but he soon changed his position. Someone must have put pressure on him. From this, it is not difficult to see that Ruan Haiqing is behind the investigation.

The relationship is very powerful.”

"If a municipal party secretary can change his attitude, he must come from the province."

Li Yuanlang pondered and asked, "Do you know who this important person is?"

Liu Tianfu smiled mockingly, "Ruan Haiqing will never reveal such an important trump card easily."

"Actually, it's more than just this. Ruan Haiqing is a native of Uma. His hometown is in Tuva. His home is in Jiucheng Village, Tuva Township. He started as a township clerk, and gradually became the secretary of the township party committee, and later became the deputy county official.

In just one year, he was promoted to executive deputy county magistrate."

"I remember that at that time, there were three candidates for executive deputy county magistrate, and Ruan Haiqing was not the one with the highest voice. It is simple that he has served as deputy county magistrate for too short a time and his qualifications are also shallow."

"At that time, many people ran to the city, but Ruan Haiqing remained silent and was the least favored by others. Instead, he became the final winner. When the results came out, it was really shocking and unexpected.

"

Li Yuanlang supported Liu Tianfu's heartfelt words and became even more interested in the supporters behind Ruan Haiqing.

I went home and lay in bed at night, still thinking about this in my mind.

News came from Li Ye that measures had been taken against Ruan Haiqing's brother-in-law, but the results of the interrogation were unsatisfactory.

As expected, he insisted that these money and things belonged to him and were earned by his wife from stock trading.

Also, he bought lottery tickets in his early years and won the first prize, with a bonus of hundreds of thousands.

Over the years, he invested his money and made loan sharks, which snowballed and led to the huge profits he has today.

As for why he doesn't keep his money in the bank, his explanation is that the bank knows his actual deposits and will often harass him to buy this or that, so it is better to keep it at home with peace of mind.

No one would have thought that there would be a large amount of money hidden in an unoccupied house.

Anyway, he answered fluently, and everything he said was verified by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection, and the lottery winning and loan sharking were indeed related. For the time being, there was really nothing that could be done against him.

What was even more surprising was that Wei Qizheng called Li Yuanlang specifically.

"Comrade Li Yuen Long, it is a crime for someone else's family to have more money? What logic! Is it just because he is Ruan Hai Qing's brother-in-law?"

Li Yuanlang calmly explained his reasons. Before he could finish speaking, Wei Qizheng interrupted and said angrily: "These are just your reasonings. Do you have any evidence? We advocate fighting corruption, but we will never allow boundless nonsense like you."

Random guesses and random actions.”

"Everything depends on evidence. There must be favorable evidence worthy of scrutiny to prove that the money belongs to Ruan Haiqing."

"I order you to release him immediately and stop the unwarranted investigation of Ruan Haiqing."

Li Yuanlang did not argue. After putting down the phone, he fell into a deep tangle in his heart.

Are you just giving up?

If you really want to do this, it will greatly reduce your prestige.

It is clear that Ruan Haiqing has a problem, but there is nothing he can do about it. This is not his consistent principle.

But now it was clear that he had entered a dead end with no light at all, which really made him anxious. An unprecedented setback suddenly hit his body.

It happened that at this time, he received a call from his sister.

On the other end of the phone, his sister happily told him the good news that she was pregnant!

"Really!" Li Yuanlang asked excitedly: "When did it happen? Are you and the child okay?"

"It's only been more than a month. Wang Song and I have just returned from the hospital. Everything is normal."

"Congratulations, sister." The dark clouds that were troubling Li Yuanlang's heart made Li Yuanlang feel very good as Ye Qingrou announced the good news.

Finally something good happened.

"Congratulations on your promotion." Li Yuanlang did not forget to add.

"Promoted? What position did you get promoted to?"

"I got promoted and became a mother!" Li Yuanlang said with a smile, "Wang Song must be very happy."

"Of course, not only him, but also my father-in-law and his grandfather were all very happy. My father-in-law also took me to live with him and asked two nannies to take care of me. It was annoying to death."

"Don't be dissatisfied, it would be nice to have someone to serve you with tea and water." Li Yuanlang consoled him.

"You know, Wang Song's brothers all gave birth to girls. This time they all placed their hopes on me, asking me to give birth to a boy to continue the family lineage of their old Wang family."

"It's human nature. Especially for families like your father-in-law, they really want a boy to inherit the family business."

"Brother, how are you? How are you doing? I heard that Jin Kening has caused you a lot of trouble."

Li Yuanlang smiled bitterly and said: "I'm lucky, she has her Zhang Liang plan, and I have my ladder. We are just using each other together, it's nothing."
