At noon, Qiao Liang came to Jia Fang's hotel in Rongding. The location was a bit remote. It was a farmhouse in the countryside, about ten minutes' drive from the outskirts of the city.
When Qiao Liang arrived, Jia Fangrong was already waiting at the door. When he saw Qiao Liang getting off the car, Jia Fangrong rushed to greet him.
"Director Jia, the place you decided is a bit far away." Qiao Liang looked at Jia Fangrong and said with a smile.
"It's better to be farther away. It's quieter." Jia Fangrong laughed.
Qiao Liang glanced at Jia Fangrong. He would never have guessed that the other party was afraid of being seen eating with him, so he arranged the hotel so far away. It is no wonder that the other party took the initiative to find a place to eat. Zhou Zhilong's evaluation of Jia Fangrong was absolutely right. , this person lacks a bit of toughness and courage, but from another perspective, it can also be understood that Jia Fangrong is cautious. In the system, such a character is undoubtedly easier to survive.
The two of them walked into the farmhouse. Jia Fangrong had arranged a small box alone. After entering and taking a seat, Jia Fangrong locked the door of the box after the waiter finished serving the dishes.
Seeing Jia Fangrong's actions, Qiao Liang shook his head. Jia Fangrong was really cautious to the core.
"County Magistrate Qiao invited me out, do you want to talk about the compensation for returning farmland to grassland?" Jia Fangrong asked proactively when he returned to his seat.
"That's right." Qiao Liang nodded.
"County Magistrate Qiao, Magistrate Zhilong called me yesterday about this matter. To be honest, I also want to help. After all, Magistrate Zhilong also spoke up. He has helped me. If he can help, I I have to help no matter what." Jia Fangrong smiled bitterly, "But now the new County Magistrate Wang is in charge of the financial aspect, and as soon as County Magistrate Wang took office, he has been paying close attention to the financial aspect. Even if I want to Even if you secretly release water, it won’t work.”
"Yes, I can understand." Qiao Liang looked at Jia Fangrong and nodded lightly.
"It would be best if County Magistrate Qiao could understand. To be honest, I also want to help with this matter. After all, I am also a native of Liangbei County. I also want to do something for the poor people in Liangbei, but my position is too low. , My abilities are limited and I am really unable to do what I want." Jia Fangrong said helplessly.
Hearing Jia Fangrong's words, Qiao Liang chuckled. It was not that Jia Fangrong was unable to do what he wanted, but he tightened the position under his buttocks first. However, from Jia Fangrong's point of view, there was nothing wrong with doing so. Qiao Liang really had no reason or qualification to accuse the other party.
Waving his hand, Qiao Liang said with a smile: "Director Jia, what I want to ask today is actually not this. I want to learn about the financial situation of our county from Director Jia."
"What does County Magistrate Qiao want to know about the county's financial situation?" Jia Fangrong blinked, "What specifically does County Magistrate Qiao want to know?"
"That's fine. You can tell me in detail. For example, is our county's finances really so poor that we can't even guarantee the salaries and bonuses of civil servants at the end of the year?" Qiao Liang said.
"This is not that exaggerated, but it is indeed an indisputable fact that the county finance has no money." Jia Fangrong smiled bitterly, "So I, the director, have a headache. Every department needs money, and I can't offend anyone."
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this. He could understand this. The finance director seemed to be a good person, but it also depends on the place. In a poor place like Liangbei County, Jia Fangrong is really not easy to work in. In the eyes of others, he is the God of Wealth, but The ups and downs in it can only be understood by oneself.
"When County Magistrate Zhilong was here before, compensation for returning farmland to grassland was paid out promptly. In other words, there is still financial protection for this aspect, right?" Qiao Liang asked again.
"County Magistrate Qiao, this actually needs to be looked at in detail. When Magistrate Zhilong was here, he requested that the payment of compensation for returning farmland to grassland should be given priority, so I also gave the green light and prioritized ensuring that the money can be paid out as soon as possible. The compensation will go to the people in the pastoral area, but the county finance is actually not that generous. If it were not requested by County Magistrate Zhilong, the compensation would not be paid out so quickly." Jia Fangrong told the truth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "So now County Magistrate Wang’s request is not too much.”
"Are you speaking for County Magistrate Wang?" Qiao Liang frowned.
"No, County Magistrate Qiao misunderstood. I just explained the situation truthfully." Jia Fangrong said.
Qiao Liang curled his lips. Speaking of this, of course he understood that it was Zhou Zhilong who helped him a lot in the past and gave him great support in poverty alleviation work. It can be said that he was a great help. But now it is Wang Fulai. The payment of compensation was blocked, and he was able to find justifiable reasons to deal with him. After all, it was actually Wang Fulai who deliberately set him up.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Liang smiled and said: "I understand what Director Jia wants to express. Come, let's have dinner and let's not talk about official business."
Hearing this, Jia Fangrong glanced at Qiao Liang, and moved the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed the words back, and sighed in his heart. Jia Fangrong comforted himself, it was not that he didn't help, but that the price of helping was too high. , he also has to think about the official hat on his head.
After the two had lunch, Qiao Liang drove back to the county compound and sat in his office. Qiao Liang's eyes were gloomy. He didn't know how long Wang Fulai would delay the payment of compensation. If the other party delayed for a longer time, Looking back, the people in the pastoral areas who cannot get compensation will definitely not work. They may cause some trouble by then, and this is probably what Monk Wang Fulai and his group want to see, and the other party probably wants him to take charge of it. If something goes wrong with his poverty alleviation work, it’s hard to see him making any achievements now.
Damn, Wang Fulai was determined to stumbling upon me. Even if I went to his office and stayed there, it would be of no use. This guy clearly stood in the camp of Shang Ke and came to embarrass me. Qiao Liang was so angry My teeth were itching, and I said in my heart, Wang Fulai, Wang Fulai, if you are unkind, then don’t blame me for being unjust. Since you did this, then don’t blame me for spreading dirty information about you.
Qiao Liang thought to himself, and quickly left the office and drove to Liangping Hotel.
Walking into the hotel lobby, Qiao Liang came to the front desk. Looking at the pretty front desk waitress, Qiao Liang whispered: "Hello, I would like to ask who the guest of 608 is."
"Sir, I'm sorry, we can't disclose the customer's information casually." The waitress smiled politely.
Qiao Liang chuckled when he heard this. He was very familiar with this kind of answer. He couldn't do it casually...that is, he could do it casually if there were conditions.
Qiao Liang calmly took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and gently pushed it towards the other party: "I think I can reveal it."
When the waitress saw the money, she put it away quietly, checked the computer, and said: "The customer at 608 is a Mr. Wang Fulai."
Qiao Liang felt happy and asked again: "Is he here for a long time or a short time?"
"He signed a long-term private room agreement with our hotel," the waitress said.
"Okay, I understand, thank you." Qiao Liang smiled and turned around to leave.
Back in the car, Qiao Liang raised his head and glanced at the sixth floor, cursing in his mind that Wang Fulai really knows how to enjoy himself. Instead of living in a dormitory, he actually rents a room in a hotel for a long time. He is simply more high-profile than Shang Ke. Shang Ke is, after all, Live in the county guest house.
However, this made it easier for him to operate. Qiao Liang secretly thought, well, he would have to find an opportunity to enter the room where Wang Fulai lived later.
Just as Qiao Liang was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Ma Yuanxiang. Qiao Liang answered the call directly.
"County Magistrate Qiao, my mother-in-law found a small diary in the cabinet in her hometown. She said it recorded some names and numbers. She didn't know what they meant. I guess it might be what Anfu wanted to say before he died. Ma Yuanxiang said eagerly, with excitement in her voice.
When Qiao Liang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then became excited: "Really?"
"Really, I'm going back by car right now. There happens to be a shuttle bus back at noon." Ma Yuanxiang said.
"Where are you now? I'll drive over to pick you up." Qiao Liang said impatiently.
"I'm at home now, and I'm going to the station to take the bus." Ma Yuanxiang said.
"Then just wait there, I'll be there in a minute." Qiao Liang said quickly.
Qiao Liang still had an impression of Ma Yuanxiang's residence. Liangbei County is not a big county. Ten minutes later, Qiao Liang arrived at Ma Yuanxiang's residence.
Ma Yuanxiang was waiting on the roadside downstairs. When he saw Qiao Liang's car, Ma Yuanxiang opened the door and got in the car. He said to Qiao Liang: "County Chief Qiao, it takes three or four hours to get from the county to my hometown. Will it be delayed?" Your job?"
"It's okay." Qiao Liang waved his hands. When he heard Ma Yuanxiang say that he might have found something left by Wang Anfu, he couldn't sit still in the office. He wanted to fly directly to Ma Yuanxiang's hometown.
The car drove towards the countryside and arrived at Ma Yuanxiang's hometown at nearly five o'clock in the afternoon.
Ma Yuanxiang's mother-in-law was busy cooking dinner in the house. She heard the sound and came out. Seeing her daughter-in-law bringing a man back, her mother-in-law was stunned and quickly recognized Qiao Liang. She had an impression of Qiao Liang and knew that this was A senior official in the county visited his son in the hospital two or three times.
"Mom, this is County Magistrate Qiao of the county. He sent me back." Ma Yuanxiang gave a brief introduction and then asked, "Mom, where is the small diary you mentioned?"
"It's in the house, I'll get it to you." Mother-in-law said quickly.
Hearing this, Qiao Liang followed and walked in, feeling faintly excited.
The mother-in-law took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it to Ma Yuanxiang. Ma Yuanxiang didn't read it and gave it directly to Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang took the notebook and turned over it eagerly.
On the other side, Ma Yuanxiang asked her mother-in-law strangely, why neither of them found anything in the cabinet last time they came back. Where did they find this little book?
The mother-in-law pointed outside and said: "There is a small bedside table in the house. Anfu moved it to the utility room outside and hid it, and covered it with firewood. I also found that when I was cleaning the utility room this morning. Cabinet, I still find it strange that there is a bedside table in the utility room."
"So that's it!" Ma Yuanxiang suddenly realized. They searched the house last time, but they didn't expect the utility room outside, not to mention that her husband covered it with firewood.
The two of them were talking, and Qiao Liang beside him was flipping through a book with an excited look on his face. This book is just a small account book, which records the whereabouts of funds one by one, and then matches the corresponding names... The more Qiao Liang looked at it, the more excited he became. This was more than just a small account book, it was simply a powerful bomb.
Holding this small book, Qiao Liang felt that his hands were heavy, and he was both excited and excited. If you want to read more and faster, search the Weixin public account "天下一一一客" and remove the "" in the middle of the four words one".
After a short period of excitement and excitement, Qiao Liang slowly calmed down. Thinking about the contents of the diary, his mind was racing...
Soon, Qiao Liang made a decision: he could not delay, he must rush to the provincial capital immediately.
