Chapter 0216 Life

ps: Two chapters combined into one, it’s the end of the month, I want to recommend it!

The air in Heyuan City is very good because the entire city is located in a mountainous area. Compared with other sister cities in southern Gansu, the temperature is lower, especially the temperature difference between morning and night is very large.

There are strengths and weaknesses. The environment is good, but the economy is not very developed.

It turned out that Heyuan's arrangement was to hold a symposium first, then have lunch, visit several enterprises with local characteristics in the afternoon, and then Wei Hongqi would give a speech in the evening, rest for the night, and send Wei Hongqi and his party off the next morning.

Depart Heyuan City.

The reason why Wei Hongqi was asked to rest for a night was mainly because Heyuan is located in a mountainous area and the road conditions are not good. Moreover, Heyuan is a little far away from southern Jiangxi. It would be too late to rush back and it would be too hard. This inspection work has been completed and there is no such thing.

Problems faced by other regions.

After consulting Wei Hongqi, the research team agreed to stay in Heyuan for one night.

Nothing happened all day long, but at night, after Wei Hongqi met with Zhou Zhen, Liu Yiliang and other party and government leaders in Heyuan City one after another, he was ready to take a rest, but he suddenly said to Zhao Wen, who lived opposite him,

Want to go out for a walk.

Zhao Wen looked at the time and saw that it was already eleven at night, and wondered where Wei Hongqi was going at this time.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Wen immediately said that I would inform Secretary-General Yi to make arrangements.

Wei Hongqi said, no need, just you and me.

Yi Suping followed Wei Hongqi to investigate this time. The journey was also very hard, so she had already rested.

Heyuan City arranged Wei Hongqi in a villa, surrounded by armed police patrols. Zhao Wen thought for a while and felt that this kind of security work is often loose on the outside and tight on the inside, which means that people from outside who want to come in are interrogated.

It's more powerful, but it's easier for the people inside to get out.

Zhao Wen said okay, I'll go change my clothes and I'll be back soon.

After returning to his room, Zhao Wen changed into casual clothes and quickly called the guard captain in charge of security of the provincial party committee and told him to follow him and the leader quietly for a while. Pay attention to confidentiality.

They immediately knew there was a mission. Zhao Wen went downstairs and looked around to understand the terrain, and then came up and told Wei Hongqi that it was time to go.

Wei Hongqi wore a jacket outside, a wool vest inside, and a shirt. When he walked to the door, Zhao Wen handed over black sunglasses. Wei Hongqi put them on as soon as he saw them.

Zhao Wen looked at it and said, "Okay." He took a quick look and found that he couldn't recognize the secretary.

Different from the previous travel order, this time Zhao Wen walked in front of Wei Hongqi. The yard was very quiet. Zhao Wen and Wei Hongqi walked as close to the corner of the house as possible, passed a few big trees, and came to the guard box at the back door.

, Zhao Wen and Wei Hongqi were walking side by side, and he was walking on the side next to the window of the guard room, which happened to cover Wei Hongqi's face.

Zhao Wen stopped and asked Wei Hongqi to go out first, and then told the person on duty inside that he would go out to buy something and would be back soon.

The person on duty was not very familiar with Zhao Wen. He looked at the ID card that Zhao Wen presented, and then turned his head. Zhao Wen casually looked behind him and saw that the guard had followed him, so he chased after Wei Hongqi.

Wei Hongqi walked a little fast at first, but after a while she went further and her pace slowed down.

Heyuan City is a mountain city, and the urban area is actually a basin. The place where the provincial party committee research team lives is slightly higher, so when you look around, you can see the bright lights under your eyes, which makes you feel like you can see all the small mountains at once.

The breeze blows slowly, as warm as water, and the breath of late spring makes people feel a kind of spiritual laziness in the night atmosphere.

The streets in Heyuan are very clean, but also very narrow. Perhaps this is the characteristic of mountain cities. It is almost midnight, but there are still many pedestrians on the road. Some fashionable girls have already put on skirts, and their youthful and beautiful figures add to the night.

A touch of bright color.

Wei Hongqi didn't say anything along the way, looking around casually. Zhao Wen was half a step behind him and turned a corner. Wei Hongqi paused suddenly, and Zhao Wen hurried forward. It turned out that there was a sycamore tree in front of him.

A couple was hugging each other and kissing against a tree pole. They happened to block Wei Hongqi's path, and Wei Hongqi was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Wen passed by from one side, and Wei Hongqi followed Zhao Wen. He couldn't help but look back. Zhao Wen thought to himself, it seems that everyone has some curiosity and gossip in their hearts. When they see something unconventional, they are all

I like to look at it more often.

There are gradually more and more people on the road, including those setting up street stalls, selling fruits and snacks, and most of them have nothing in front of them, just a piece of red or yellow cloth with many runes and paintings written on it.

There are middle-aged and elderly people with Jiugong Bagua appearance, and there are also some middle-aged women. Some of these people even wear Taoist hats on their heads. These people are setting up stalls and telling fortunes.

Wei Hongqi suddenly asked Zhao Wen: "Do you believe in fate?"

Zhao Wen didn't know why Wei Hongqi asked this question.

What is fate?

This connotation is so great that often the simplest questions are the most difficult to answer.

Zhao Wen said, it depends on which aspect Uncle Wei asks this question from.

This is the first time that Zhao Wen calls Wei Hongqi "Uncle Wei". The first reason is that the two of them will be in a crowded place and it is inconvenient to call the secretary. The second reason is that Wei Hongqi and he are traveling together.

It is of a personal nature. Calling Uncle Wei at this time can also enhance mutual feelings.

Wei Hongqi did not comment on Zhao Wen's words, and Zhao Wen said, "I understand what Uncle Wei means is destiny. Destiny is always elusive. Even if you don't believe it, it's not always true. But if you believe it, I feel it is a bit elusive."

Wei Hongqi walked a few steps and came to an old man smoking a dry pipe, and immediately sat on the foldable stool.

Zhao Wen went over and stood beside Wei Hongqi, looking around at everything casually. When he saw the guard standing a dozen steps away, he turned back to look at the old fortune teller in front of him.

This old man was very interesting. When he saw Wei Hongqi sitting over, he didn't say anything. He just finished smoking his cigarette, smacked his mouth, and looked at Wei Hongqi without a glance, and then glanced at Zhao Wen.

Wei Hongqi didn't say anything. Zhao Wen asked, "Testing Chinese characters or reading faces?"

The old man replied casually.

As the old man spoke, he waited for the sparks in the cigarette pot to extinguish, then stretched out his foot, gently knocked the cigarette pot against the sole of his shoe, knocked out the ash, and took a cigarette spoon wrapped around the cigarette bag to put it in the cigarette pot.

After gently scraping off the cigarette ashes, he looked at Wei Hongqi carefully.

Wei Hongqi watched every move of the old fortune teller and said, the old god's cigarette holder is a treasure.

The old man said it was passed down from his ancestors. Then he stretched out his hand and handed Wei Hongqi a long wooden stick. The stick was polished very smooth and said, "Write whatever you want."

Wei Hongqi thought about it and wrote "one" casually without saying anything.

The old man said, "Sir, you are rich and powerful. There is no need to tell fortunes. Your fortune will be good."

Wei Hongqi asked, "What's the explanation?"

The old man said: "When you come to walk, you are calm and calm, with a dragon and a tiger sitting on it. It is really extraordinary. And the follower beside you also often travels in the world. He is not a mortal. Only extraordinary people can afford extraordinary people. Let's talk about the word you wrote. Look.

It sounds very casual, but when it comes from your hand, it's very uncomfortable."

Wei Hongqi became interested as soon as he heard this and asked, "What's the point?"

The old man said, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to four, yin gives birth to yang, yin and yang give birth to all things, they come into existence from nothing, and there is no limit.

Besides, this word was written by your hand, sir. It seems very simple, but it is actually an external manifestation of the inner control of everything.

"One, written on the ground, the ground is 'earth'. If earth plus a 'one' is added, doesn't it mean a 'king'? Isn't the gentleman a king? Therefore, I say that the gentleman is a very rich and noble man, with a very tough life.

"

Zhao Wen looked at the cloth on the carpet, which had two vertical characters written on it - "iron-cut". Don't believe it, so he interrupted and said: "What my uncle wrote was not the Chinese character "1", but the "1" of '1234'. Why?

explain?"

The old man didn't look at Zhao Wen, but looked at Wei Hongqi and said, "Sir, if you put 1 on the soil, it's g, and if you add a person under g, it's a republic. The republic means the same thing. The land is dedicated to you, and this land is yours."

, and it means the same thing as that king.

After Wei Hongqi heard this, he wrote another "one" on the ground and asked, what is the meaning this time?

The old man took one look and said: "One and one are two kings. Wang plus king is the emperor. As soon as Gao Xuan sleeps on the yellow beam, he will know that he has long thoughts and thoughts. There are so many joys and sorrows in the world, how can he be indifferent and easy to discuss."

"Sir, you may have been in trouble recently. Take a step back and wait for the opportunity. Everything will get better."

After listening to this, Wei Hongqi seemed to be interested, so he added another "one" after the two "one" characters, this time it was three ones, and said: "Can you please explain it again?"

The old man looked at the words on the ground, then sighed and said: "There are only three days left. Today, for you and for me, this is the last hexagram. After the hexagram is solved, you can go and be the king, and I will go home and have a drink of old wine."

"

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "Winter is chilly, spring flowers are blooming, but summer has not yet arrived, and the remaining cold is particularly severe."

"The world's situation depends on whether it is warm or cold, and there is no need to speak to those who meet it."

"This is the season of spring and summer, which is very unlucky. The new flowers are sparse, and the cold wind is still there. It is the season of the change of seasons, and there is a bad luck. At this time, you will often see people's white eyes, frosty faces, and misfortunes everywhere.

The cold reception and lack of friendship are very different from the early days."

As the old man said this, Zhao Wen paid attention to Wei Hongqi's face and saw that he remained calm. He then heard the old man continue: "...Human relationships are like thin paper and can be broken with just one prick. The people who used to lift you up are now gone.

They may be sarcastic, or turn away, or sit on the sidelines and be indifferent. It is better not to ask for help at this time. It will not help you, but will only cause trouble. It is the person who knows each other, has a warm heart, and will take the initiative to help you without you having to ask.

Yes, as the saying goes, 'The strong wind knows the strong grass, the extreme turbulence knows the loyal ministers'."

The old man said and glanced at Zhao Wen who was a little careless.

"For the present plan, you can only save yourself. Don't let a momentary setback make you despair and destroy your ambition. Make preparations in the secret ground, nourish your vitality, adjust your physical fitness, and wait for the thunder.

With one drum, he is as powerful as a tiger, and he rises up to catch up with Yun Tenglong!"

After Wei Hongqi heard this, he stood up and was about to leave. Zhao Wen asked how much the fortune was, and the old man said: "I leaked the secret tonight. I was quick to talk for a while, and I don't charge you. From now on, sir, you only need to think more about benefiting the people, and the old man will be satisfied."

Wei Hongqi stopped when he heard this. The old man looked at Zhao Wen and said: "This little brother is a master and a bodyguard. The old man is too talkative. Let me give you one more word - don't ask about good or bad luck in the future. Everything will happen.

No one else but me. Respect yourself."

This old man was also interesting. After he finished speaking, he rolled up the cloth, picked up the bench, bent down and left.

Zhao Wen thought to himself, did the old man recognize Wei Hongqi?

But when I think about it, it's impossible. Then, I can only explain what these traveling veterans saw in Wei Hongqi's temperament. Besides, everyone in Heyuan City knows that the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee are here to inspect the work today.

There are also casual expressions of confusion.

These people set up stalls and tell fortunes on the streets every day, and the local population in Heyuan City probably recognizes them. From many aspects, it is not nonsense to say that Wei Hongqi, a stranger, is a "king".

It was obvious that Wei Hongqi was uninterested. The two of them walked and arrived at a night market stall. Wei Hongqi said, "Drink some water and rest before leaving."

Zhao Wen looked at the time and heard someone playing music and dancing in a square far away, so he found a relatively clean barbecue stall. He wiped the stool with the paper on the table before letting Wei Hongqi sit down.

Come down.

As soon as they sat down, a young and beautiful woman came over to greet Zhao Wen and Wei Hongqi. Zhao Wen saw that Wei Hongqi didn't say anything, so he said, "Isn't there some hotpot? Make two portions for us and give us two bottles."

Pure milk.

After the boss left, Wei Hongqi said that Heyuan is a place where people can live and work in peace and contentment. Zhao Wen said yes. Wei Hongqi asked again, you have been in southern Gansu for a long time. Are there many folk fortune tellers here?

Zhao Wen immediately replied: "As far as I know, not many, yes, but at least not many in Qiannan."

Wei Hongqi said, I saw many people wearing Buddhist beads on their arms today.

Zhao Wen suddenly realized.

Of course, many of the people Wei Hongqi was talking about were not just people walking around on the street, but officials in Heyuan City.

Because these officials were received by Wei Hongqi, they had to shake hands, and while shaking hands, Wei Hongqi saw the Buddhist beads on their wrists.

It's nothing if one person wears Buddhist beads, but if many people wear them, and more powerful figures in Heyuan City wear Buddhist beads, it's a bit thought-provoking.

Zhao Wen did not shake hands with these officials, so it was naturally impossible to find anything on their arms. Wei Hongqi just asked himself whether he believed in fate, which meant that he was asking for advice about fate.

Perhaps Wei Hongqi is hinting at something.

Think about it, Wei Hongqi is going out for a walk tonight, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just "walking around".

The shabu-shabu dishes were served quickly. Zhao Wen said thank you to the beautiful female boss, and then asked, "I want to buy Buddhist beads from us. I don't know which store is good?"

The female boss was very enthusiastic and said, "You are bosses from out of town. Do you still need to ask? The Buddhist beads in Zhongzi Temple must be the best, but you can't say buy, but please, please, respectfully, Buddha."

Can I buy things with money?

The beads in the Zhongzi Temple were ordained by Master Huide, and they are quite effective. Look, don’t I also wear one?

Zhao Wen looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a dark Buddha statue around her neck. The woman said that the color was red and could not be seen clearly at night.

Zhao Wen laughed and said that no wonder the boss's business was good. It turned out that the gods were blessing him. So, where is the Zhongzi Temple? Do you have any explanation?

Seeing that the proprietress seemed to be leaving, Zhao Wen said, "Let's grill another fish for each of us."

When the proprietress heard this, she shouted for two more grilled fishes, her voice was very clear, and then she said to Zhao Wen: "Zhongzi Temple is in Zhongxian County. It is very famous. The host of the temple, Master Huide, is an eminent monk.

He is still a member of the CPPCC in our province. Oh, by the way, we have a senior official in Heyuan in the province, and it was the senior official who paid for the renovation of the temple. I heard that when he was a child, the senior official's family was poor and he was a sheep herder.

I made a wish in the Zhongmiao Temple and burned incense, but the result is that now..."

Zhao Wen saw that the proprietress was leaving, so he asked, Sister, this Buddha statue of yours is not cheap, right?

The landlady said, "Where are they? I have this and my husband's Buddhist beads, totaling 18,000. We don't have much money here... I'll bring the fish. You eat first. Call me if you want anything."

Zhao Wen glanced at Wei Hongqi and thought that Wei Hongqi might be thinking that Chen Keshan was making money by building temples.

Things like God and destiny, whether you believe in them or not, they don't exist. If it is really like what the landlady said just now, Chen Keshan used to build temples to plunder people's wealth in Zhong County, which is really a very superb method.

The believers donated money voluntarily, but no matter how they checked, Chen Keshan could not be found.

Moreover, one of the hosts there is also a member of the provincial CPPCC and a Buddhist. This is even more troublesome.

I'm afraid there are quite a few people who offer incense and worship Buddha every year. A self-employed hot-pot owner of a night market gave 18,000 yuan to the Zhongzi Temple. They usually burn incense to fulfill their wishes during festivals and the birthdays of some gods.

?

Could it be that the officials of all sizes in Heyuan were less generous than these two small self-employed people?

So, how many people in Heyuan City believe this?

Wei Hongqi was drinking milk, taking a bite of the hot-boiled vegetables, and said, "Hmm, it tastes good, it has a different flavor."

Zhao Wen saw that there was no one around and said, Director Xue Changrong's husband was Lin Zifeng, the secretary of Zhong County. Lin Zifeng had worked as secretary to Secretary Chen back then.

Wei Hongqi listened and glanced at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen thought that Wei Hongqi wouldn't eat much, but Wei Hongqi ate a lot. He probably hadn't eaten out for a long time. A few days ago, he and Bao Fang ate at Zhuwa Lane in southern Gansu and brought some food to He Hongyu.

Wei Hongqi had planned to go out to eat a duck one day, but unexpectedly he came to this river source far away from southern Jiangxi to satisfy his craving.

When leaving, Zhao Wen asked for two more bottles of water and followed Wei Hongqi slowly. I don’t know what Wei Hongqi was thinking about. Zhao Wen just thought that if he could find a beautiful place to build a temple, not to mention the temple.

The incense money inside, not to mention the fortune-telling stall fees in front of the door, just sell souvenir candles and incense every year. I don’t know how much money I can make. It’s really a huge profit.

This Chen Keshan is really a master of making money.

Zhao Wen couldn't help but touch the yellow jade he wore around his neck, wondering how much this thing was worth...

When I went back to enter the villa, I ran into some trouble. There was a guard at the gate. Zhao Wen came out just now to tell the guard, but now the man seemed to have been criticized. When he saw Zhao Wen, his eyes lit up. Waiting

Seeing Wei Hongqi's face, he couldn't speak anymore and looked like he wished he could find a plane to take the two of them in quickly.

Zhao Wen estimated that this man was alert when he saw guard Wei Hongqi following him out. However, he probably did not report it to the superiors. He was probably afraid of taking responsibility. Otherwise, there would be chaos here.

Wei Hongqi walked in front this time. When she arrived in front of the villa, she looked around and saw that there was no one around. Not long after she entered, Yi Suping called and asked why Zhao Wen didn't answer the phone. Zhao Wen thought to himself, maybe something went wrong.

What happened? Just say that the secretary was taking a shower and he didn't hear it.

Yi Suping said, "That's it. Okay, you can report to the secretary later that Wu Yong, the magistrate of Huayang County, was in a car accident and was declared physically dead."

Zhao Wen was surprised and asked when. Yi Suping said that the time of the accident was more than 10 years old. As I just told me, after being sent to the hospital for rescue, the death was confirmed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Wen was slightly lost in thought. Within a minute, the phone vibrated again. It was Shang Desheng calling. Zhao Wen looked at Wei Hongqi in the bathroom, then walked out and came to his own room.

room, closed the door and said softly, Hello, Secretary Shang.

Shang Desheng's words were very brief, saying, Director Zhao, Wu Yong is dead.

Zhao Wen was deliberately surprised and asked how could this be possible?

Shang Desheng said that if it was going to rain, my mother was going to get married, and Wu Yong was going to die, no one could stop him.

Zhao Wen asked about the situation, and Shang Desheng said that he didn't know the details yet. I just found out about it. I crawled out of bed and was notified to attend the emergency meeting of the Standing Committee. No, I called you in the car.

Shang Desheng did not continue talking about this matter, but turned to another topic and said: "Zi Hongsheng committed suicide."

Zhao Wen was shocked again and asked what was going on. Wasn't Zi Hongsheng being double-regulated? When did it happen?

Shang Desheng said that he died in the isolation room of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection at around nine in the evening. The investigation is still ongoing. I will be the first to report the results to you.

Shang Desheng said, Huayang, this meeting is really lively, that’s it, I entered the courtyard.

Just as he was talking, before he hung up, another call came in. Zhao Wen said that Secretary Shang was busy and would contact him later.

This time it was Luo Yiyi who called, saying that Wu Yong was dead, and then that Huayang was in chaos, and how he felt that there was going to be an earthquake in Qiannan this time, and it was a mess.

Zhao Wen didn't want to talk to her anymore. He thought to himself, "Don't you just want Huayang and Qiannanluan? This is really irritating for you." He replied, "This news is really shocking. I am with the leader right now, so it is inconvenient to talk."

Let’s talk in detail later and ask you to learn more about the situation.

Luo Yiyi agreed and hung up the phone one by one, and then someone called again, one after another, Zhao Wen counted, there were as many as seven or eight, all talking about the same two things about Wu Yong and Zi Hongsheng, and they were all talking about the same thing.

It was the people from Qiannan who came here.

Zhao Wen thought to himself, it seems that Qiannan City is really going to face a storm this time.

The reason why Yi Suping didn't know about Zi Hongsheng was because Zi Hongsheng was only a department-level cadre and was not qualified to let Yi Suping know about his death.

Some time ago, Yang Yingchun brought people from Wangjiazui, Wenshui, to the province to petition, creating an opportunity for Luo Bingxing to thoroughly investigate Jia Qian, but unexpectedly Wu Yong died.

This Wu Yong didn't wait until Jia Qian's unlucky day. It seemed that his fate was really bad.

Zi Hongsheng was Jia Qian's man, but Zi Hongsheng also died, and he died in front of Wu Yong. Zi Hongsheng's life seemed not to be good either.
