Qiao Liang said, "Mr. Zhu, you have been pretending to be crazy and being a beggar in the county for the past seven or eight years, presumably for revenge. I believe you must have had the opportunity to take revenge in the past few years, especially when the supervision team from above came to Daguan some time ago. There’s no way you don’t know.”
Qiao Liang stared at Zhu Shichun as he spoke. A person like Zhu Shichun who is bent on revenge will definitely be very concerned about some developments in the county. This is why Qiao Liang is sure that Zhu Shichun will know about the supervision team coming to the county.
After hearing what Qiao Liang said, Zhu Shichun lowered his head and said nothing.
Seeing Zhu Shichun's silence, Qiao Liang asked further, "Mr. Zhu could have reported your matter to the supervision team before, but why didn't he do that? I think Mr. Zhu, you should know that the weight and energy of the supervision team are comparable to that of my small county. When there are more secretaries, people can talk directly to the big leaders in the province."
Zhu Shichun raised his head and smiled sarcastically, "What's the use of having more energy? Who knows if the supervision team will come down to go through the motions? Were there fewer such things in the past? Every time an inspection team from above comes down, isn't it all about eating and drinking? Just a formality?"
Qiao Liang said, "This time is different. The supervision team above is serious about it, and it is indeed an attitude of discovering and solving problems. It is different from the past."
Zhu Shichun sighed, "Anyway, I don't dare to believe it, and I don't want to take risks anymore. In the past few years, I have secretly written many letters of complaint to the city and the province, but they all came to nothing. Once I wrote to the province Not long after I wrote the report, I discovered that someone was conducting a secret investigation in the county and was following me. However, they only followed me for a few days and then stopped following me. They probably thought that I was really crazy. It couldn’t be that I am crazy and stupid. It was a beggar who did it, so I stopped following him, but since that time, I haven’t written a report letter again.”
Hearing Zhu Shichun's explanation, Qiao Liang suddenly realized that it turned out that Zhu Shichun no longer trusted the people above him, or that he didn't dare to trust easily anymore. This could also explain why Zhu Shichun was so wary, even if he let him live there. When I came to the dormitory, I repeatedly assured him that there was no problem with safety, but Zhu Shichun still had concerns.
After understanding this, Qiao Liang became even more puzzled, "Mr. Zhu, since you don't dare to trust others easily and are not willing to take risks anymore, why did you stop my car today? Why did you stop my car today?" What makes you think I can be trusted?”
Zhu Shichun and Qiao Liang looked at each other, "Because I saw with my own eyes last night, Secretary Qiao, you asked someone to check the Guanhai Hotel. In the past few years since the Guanhai Hotel was built and opened, this is the first time I have seen the Guanhai Hotel." The hotel was inspected.”
Zhu Shichun said with an accentuated tone, "This is also the first time I have seen someone dare to check the Guanhai Hotel."
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Listen to what you said, it seems like it was such a big deal that I asked the county bureau to conduct a surprise inspection of the Guanhai Hotel last night."
Zhu Shichun said seriously, "At least I think it's amazing. After all, Secretary Qiao, you dare to do this when you first come here."
Qiao Liang said half-jokingly, "What you said made me feel uneasy. Didn't I just stir up a hornet's nest by doing what I did last night?"
Zhu Shichun stared at Qiao Liang closely, "I believe Secretary Qiao you won't be afraid, right?"
Zhu Shichun was obviously a little nervous when he said this. He was afraid that Qiao Liang would give in now, but he placed all his hopes on Qiao Liang. This was one of the reasons why he chose to stand up at this time; another reason was that Zhu Shichun did not He is willing to wait any longer. He has been waiting for seven or eight years and he really can't wait any longer. Over the years, he has been a beggar, digging food from garbage dumps and sleeping under overpasses. He has been sick several times in succession and almost died. In the past two years, he has obviously felt that his health has been deteriorating. Zhu Shichun was worried that he could not wait too long. However, Qiao Liang, the newly appointed secretary, dared to check the Guanhai Hotel as soon as he arrived, which made Zhu Shichun's eyes light up and gave Zhu Shichun confidence. , plus understanding some of Qiao Liang's situation in Jiangzhou... After considering various factors, Zhu Shichun decided to take this risk.
Qiao Liang suddenly asked again, "How did you know that my car would pass that section of road at that time?"
Zhu Shichun was stunned for a moment, and his face changed slightly. It was really beyond his expectation that Qiao Liang would ask this question.
The two questions Qiao Liang asked one after another at this moment were actually thought of after Zhu Shichun left and he gradually came to his senses in the office. Zhu Shichun's reaction now also confirmed some speculation in Qiao Liang's heart. The county should be Someone is secretly helping Zhu Shichun. Judging from Zhu Shichun's appearance, it is obvious that he does not want to answer, but Qiao Liang does not intend to explore this issue. He only needs to confirm his guess.
At this time, the hotel staff brought the food, and Zhu Shichun immediately stopped talking. He was a very vigilant person, worried that the walls had ears, and he was unwilling to talk more as long as outsiders were present.
It wasn't until the hotel staff left that Zhu Shichun said again, "Secretary Qiao, if you don't know my affairs, do you dare to make the decision for me?"
Qiao Liang looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile, "You openly stopped my car on the street, knelt down in public, and called me Mr. Qingtian. Do you think I can ignore it?"
Hearing Qiao Liang's words, Zhu Shichun felt a little unnatural for no reason. He stopped a car and knelt down in the street today, shouting "Master Qingtian". He did not do it randomly, but had a deeper purpose. At this time, Zhu Shichun could only secretly think in his heart. He muttered, hoping that Qiao Liang would not blame him when he turned around.
Qiao Liang didn't think much at this moment and said, "Mr. Zhu, I can take care of your affairs, but only if everything you say is true. Secondly, if everything you say is true, this matter involves the city's leaders. That is beyond my ability. I can only report it to the leadership above after verifying the information you provided. As for how the above will deal with it, that is beyond my control."
Zhu Shichun immediately said, "Secretary Qiao, what I said is absolutely not false at all."
Qiao Liang said, "I didn't say you were lying, but didn't I just say that, if what you said is true, this matter will involve the leaders of the city, and the province will have to deal with it."
Zhu Shichun looked at Qiao Liang with burning eyes, "Secretary Qiao, as long as you want to take care of it, you can do it, right? I heard that you are very much appreciated by the provincial leaders."
Qiao Liang glanced at the other party meaningfully, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into me."
Zhu Shichun smiled coquettishly, "Secretary Qiao, after all, this matter is related to my life and fortune. I must know more about you. After all, I have waited so many years just for revenge. I cannot be too hasty. Although I am not afraid of death, but I don't want to be killed before I can get my revenge."
Qiao Liang's eyes stayed on Zhu Shichun's face for a while. He was actually more curious now about who in the county was helping Zhu Shichun, because Zhu Shichun himself could not possibly know that he was appreciated by the provincial leaders.
But it doesn't make much sense to explore this now, because Zhu Shichun won't say it out loud, and the other party will definitely protect the people who help him secretly.
"Okay, let's eat. Let's chat while we eat so that the food doesn't get cold." Qiao Liang said and took the lead in using his chopsticks.
Zhu Shichun nodded and picked up the chopsticks, but he was a little absent-minded.
"Mr. Zhu, if you want me to make the decision for you, I can agree to it, but I need you to provide more detailed evidence, not just words." Qiao Liang said while eating.
"Okay." Zhu Shichun was silent for a moment and then said.
"Also, there are two plainclothes officers from the county bureau temporarily guarding the outside. Mr. Zhu can rest assured about safety issues. This is what I personally explained. Mr. Zhu does not need to doubt whether he is trustworthy or not." Qiao Liang gave Zhu Shichun another meal. A reassurance.
Qiao Liang looked at Zhu Shichun. He felt that Zhu Shichun might have lived a fearful life these years and was a little suspicious. If someone dared to come to the dormitory of his dignified county leader to commit murder, that would be fine, unless Daguan County had already There is absolutely no rule of law.
The two of them were having dinner in the office on the top floor of Guanhai Hotel.
Hotel owner Chen Cheng called the county bureau director Lu Changming. The two had just chatted for a few words when Chen Cheng lost control and roared at Lu Changming, "Director Lu, I don't want to hear so much from you. Now I want to kill that bastard Zhu Shichun, hell, he has been playing tricks on me for so many years as a beggar, if I don’t kill him, he won’t be named Chen.”
Lu Changming said helplessly, "Mr. Chen, please calm down. Zhu Shichun is in Secretary Qiao's dormitory now, and there are people from the county bureau guarding him. How do you kill him?"
Chen Cheng roared angrily, "I called you just to ask you to evacuate the people."
Lu Changming was speechless after hearing this. This guy Chen Cheng is really crazy. He wants to kill people in Qiao Liang's dormitory. He wants to break the news. Damn it, he can't go crazy with him.
Lu Changming said tactfully, "Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, the arrangement of guards in Secretary Qiao's dormitory was arranged by Zhong Liyang, the newly mentioned deputy director in the bureau. You may not know that this Zhong Liyang was promoted by Secretary Qiao. He belongs to Secretary Qiao, and those two plainclothes men are arranged by Zhong Liyang. Even my words may not be easy to handle, and once I remove them, Secretary Qiao will definitely be alarmed."
Chen Cheng didn't believe Lu Changming's explanation, "Director Lu, don't give me reasons. I believe you will find a way to evacuate people."
Lu Changming curled his lips and said, "Mr. Chen, why can't you listen to the explanation? The people may be able to evacuate, but it will definitely alarm Secretary Qiao. Don't you understand what I mean?"
Chen Cheng stopped talking. He was so angry that his chest heaved and he kept breathing heavily. He didn't know whether Lu Changming was trying to deal with him, but he knew that Zhu Shichun's move into Qiao Liang's dormitory had indeed made things more difficult, and so did he. When he found out that Zhu Shichun had moved into Qiao Liang's dormitory, he jumped into panic. Zhu Shichun didn't know how much criminal evidence he had obtained over the years. Damn it, if the other party got involved with Qiao Liang, would he still be able to reap the rewards?
As the old saying goes, strike first to gain advantage and suffer disaster later. Chen Cheng's only thought now was to kill Zhu Shichun.
