Li Yongchang frowned: "What? Have you caused trouble for me again?" Mo Ruofu, his son-in-law, saw the way Li Ming was hesitating, and Li Yongchang knew that Li Ming must have caused trouble again.
"Yes... there is a little trouble..." Li Ming lowered his head, not daring to look at his father.
"What on earth is going on! Tell me honestly! Don't hesitate!" Li Yongchang gave Li Ming a hard look.
The corner of Li Ming's mouth twitched a few times: "Dad, the murder case of Yuan Zhaonian has been making a lot of noise recently..."
"Yuan Zhaonian?" Li Yongchang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes became sharp: "Okay, why did you mention Yuan Zhaonian? Could it be..." At this point, Li Yongchang's tone suddenly became sharp: "Recently, the Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating
Cadres related to Yuan Zhaonian...Li Ming, please don't tell me that you are also involved with this Yuan Zhaonian..."
"No! No!" Li Ming shook his head hastily: "I don't know this Yuan Zhaonian at all!"
"That's good." Li Yongchang breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Zhaonian's case is now well known to everyone. If Li Mingzhen is involved with Yuan Zhaonian, there will be big trouble.
Li Ming glanced at his father cautiously, and then said tremblingly: "I...although I don't know Yuan Zhaonian, I do know...Yuan Zhaonian's business partner Xia Wuhou..."
Li Yongchang's brows that had just relaxed suddenly wrinkled again: "What exactly do you want to say? Say it all at once!"
Li Ming licked his dry lips and muttered: "Dad, after I say it... you can't be angry, let alone hit me."
"Not angry? Won't hit you?" A sharp light flashed in Li Yongchang's eyes: "What did you do behind my back? Tell me quickly!" Li Yongchang suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Li Ming lowered his head, not daring to look into Li Yongchang's angry eyes: "A few months ago, I met Marquis Xia Wu at a banquet. This Marquis Xia Wu was bold and generous, and he invited me to dinner every now and then.
I had a lot of fun and later gave me a lot of gifts..."
"Send you a gift? What gift?" Li Yongchang's face darkened.
"Mainly some jade articles, calligraphy and paintings by famous people, etc..." Li Ming said in a low voice.
"Jade? Celebrity calligraphy and painting?" Li Yongchang's face twitched fiercely: "That Xia Wuhou is so generous, he actually gave you such an expensive gift! You really dare to ask for it!"
Li Ming shook his head: "I didn't want it at first, but Xia Wuhou insisted on giving it to me. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it... But I didn't ask for his gift in vain. I later helped him facilitate several big businesses.
, allowing Marquis Xia Wu to make a lot of money."
"Business? What business?" Li Yongchang's face became increasingly ugly.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just used my connections to help Xia Wuhou get some good land..." Li Ming was interrupted by Li Yongchang before he could finish his words.
"You have a bullshit relationship!" Li Yongchang finally got angry, pointed at Li Ming's nose and scolded: "Why did Marquis Xia Wu invite you to dinner and play? Why did he take the initiative to give you expensive gifts? It's not because of you.
He's my son! Marquis Xia Wu has no way of knowing me, so he tried every means to please you, and then asked you to come forward and help him get the land under my banner. It's really a good trick! You're smart enough!"
"Dad, actually I..." Li Minggang wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Yongchang again.
"Shut up!" Li Yongchang glared at Li Ming: "How many times have I told you not to mess around outside under my banner? Why don't you listen? Although I am the mayor,
I also have many enemies. Once those enemies catch me, I will fall into an abyss of eternal destruction!" Li Yongchang said louder and louder: "How could I give birth to such a careless son like you?
What the hell did I do in my last life!" In anger, Li Yongchang started swearing.
Li Ming drooped his head and did not dare to say a word.
Li Yongchang cursed for more than half an hour before the anger in his heart slowly calmed down. He bent down and sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked: "That Xia Wuhou had a close relationship with the dead Yuan Zhaonian.
Close?"
"Yes." Li Ming nodded: "Xia Wuhou and Yuan Zhaonian have many business contacts, and they are relatives and get along very well." At this point, Li Ming paused, and then said with a wry smile:
"Xia Wuhou helped Yuan Zhaonian do several illegal things. Now the Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating Yuan Zhaonian's case of bribing officials, and it is very likely that Xia Wuhou will be traced... So... Xia Wuhou came to me for help.
I ask you to come forward and give him a hand..."
"You agreed?" Li Yongchang said with a gloomy face.
"I didn't want to agree at first, but...that bastard Xia Wuhou actually threatened me, saying that if I didn't help him overcome this difficulty, he would tell me about the bribery. What made me most angry was that
, this Marquis Xia Wu even recorded all the conversations between me and him, many of which cannot be released to the public... I was forced to have no choice but to come to you..." At this point,
Li Ming couldn't talk any more.
After listening to Li Ming's words, Li Yongchang's face immediately turned livid. He clenched his palms, then stretched them out, then clenched them up again, and then stretched them out again... After repeating this for more than ten times, Li Yongchang could barely suppress the anger boiling in his chest.
He turned his head and stared at Li Ming with cold eyes: "You know what? I really want to slap you now, you bastard, you know how to cause trouble for me!"
"I'm sorry, Dad, I feel very regretful now... I was so blind back then that I would believe a despicable and shameless villain like Xia Wuhou..." Li Ming reached out and slapped himself hard in the mouth, with
Crying voice said: "Dad, I really know that I was wrong. Just help me this time. I promise that I will never cause you any trouble again!"
"How many times have you promised me? Did you do it once?" Li Yongchang held back his anger and said: "Li Ming, Li Ming, I didn't want to say something irritating to you, but I found that you are really too... Li
Ming, you heard me clearly. The reason why people outside compliment you, treat you to meals, play with you, and give you gifts is all for my sake. If you were not my son, outsiders would not even look at you.
, please remember this for me: from now on, you are not allowed to do anything outside under my banner, let alone interfere with the decisions of government departments under my banner. Also, no one will ask you for anything in the future.
I show my kindness and give you gifts, but you refuse them all and stay away from them! Do you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Li Ming nodded repeatedly: "After suffering this loss, I will never make friends casually again... It's just this time... about Xia Wuhou... Dad, I know what's in your heart
You are angry, but you must find a way to rescue Xia Wuhou. If Xia Wuhou is really arrested, he will definitely confess me..."
No matter how unsatisfactory Li Ming is, no matter how careless he is, he is still Li Yongchang's only son. No matter how angry Li Yongchang is, he cannot stand by and watch Li Ming's misfortune.
"I really owe you in my previous life!" Li Yongchang was silent for a moment: "I can suppress the Discipline Inspection Commission and tell them not to investigate Xia Wuhou... But the Public Security Bureau..." At this point, Li Yongchang paused.
After a while: "The key is that Ma Xiaoyao. I am sure to deal with the others, but this Ma Xiaoyao is too difficult to suppress..."
Since Ma Xiaoyao became the chief of public security, he has made drastic measures to improve public security in the city. In less than a year, he has cracked hundreds of various cases, especially those of the second generation rich and second generation officials.
Nowadays, those second-generation rich and second-generation officials feel their heads hurt when they mention the name Ma Xiaoyao. Behind his back, Ma Xiaoyao is called the "God of Plague". To be honest, Li Yongchang can't stand Ma Xiaoyao's arrogant and domineering behavior, but
But he had no way to deal with Ma Xiaoyao. On the one hand, Ma Xiaoyao was clean and self-disciplined, so that Li Yongchang could not catch him. On the other hand, Ma Xiaoyao had Liu Yuncai's backing, and Li Yongchang did not dare to deal with Ma Xiaoyao blatantly. Combining the above two
Based on some factors, we came to a conclusion: Li Yongchang, the dignified mayor, is also very afraid of the little director Ma Xiaoyao!
As the saying goes, the official is not big, but the power is not small. If someone without certain strength wants to provoke Ma Xiaoyao, he will definitely get bruised and swollen.
Even powerful people are reluctant to provoke Ma Xiaoyao. The main reason is that Ma Xiaoyao is too radical in doing things. Once he goes crazy, he will not recognize his relatives and will fight you to the death. How can ordinary people bear this kind of stimulation?
Executive Vice Governor Miao Xiangdong is a living example. Such an arrogant big shot ended up in ruins and jailed just because he provoked Ma Xiaoyao.
Although Li Ming resented Ma Xiaoyao, he had to admit that Ma Xiaoyao did have a lot of tricks. He became so famous in less than a year after becoming the listed public security director, and he also overthrew many high-ranking officials.
Known as the "God of Plague!"
On the surface, Li Ming is arrogant and clamoring to seek revenge from Ma Xiaoyao, but in his heart he is still a little afraid of Ma Xiaoyao. Without absolute certainty, Li Ming will never take the initiative to provoke Ma Xiaoyao. If not this time
Being forced by Marquis Xia Wu, Li Ming would never come out to confront Ma Xiaoyao. Li Ming knew himself. With his current identity and ability, he would never be able to defeat the arrogant and domineering Ma Xiaoyao.
"This matter is not easy to handle." Li Yongchang sighed: "With the plague god Ma Xiaoyao here, it will be difficult for me to settle Yuan Zhaonian's case... Li Ming, Li Ming, you are really good at making trouble for me."
"Dad, I have thought of a way, but I don't know if it will work." Li Ming said while carefully observing his father's face.
"What solution have you come up with?" Li Yongchang asked.
