"Brother, I'm in charge of this matter. This traffic accident happened right under my nose. If it just goes unchecked, I'll have a hard time with my conscience." Qiao Liang said with certainty.
After hearing Qiao Liang's words, Zhou Zhilong nodded slightly: "Brother, actually, I do know a little bit about the license plate number you just mentioned."
"Oh? Come and listen, brother." Qiao Liang looked at Zhou Zhilong.
"Although that license plate number is in the name of the iron mine, that car has always been the car of the iron mine boss." Zhou Zhilong looked at Qiao Liang, "What I saw last night was a white domineering car, right?
"
"That's right, it's the white domineering one." Qiao Liang nodded, with a look of surprise on his face, "It turns out to be the car of the iron mine boss, no wonder he was so arrogant! In other words, at that time yesterday evening, there might have been an iron man sitting in the car.
The owner of the mine?"
"It should be no accident." Zhou Zhilong nodded, "Now that I know that the person sitting above may be the boss of the iron mine, do you still want to get involved in this matter?"
"Guan, why don't you care! What happened to the iron mine boss? Even if he is the King of Heaven, I will still take care of him." Qiao Liang said firmly.
"That's good, brother." Zhou Zhilong gave Qiao Liang a thumbs up, "I just appreciate your temperament."
"Brother, since we are members of the organization and the leaders of the county, we cannot live up to the organization's training for us and the people's trust in us, don't you think?" Qiao Liang looked at Zhou Zhilong, "This matter
It’s okay if I don’t know about it, but since it happened under my nose, I can’t pretend it didn’t happen.”
"Well, what are you going to do, brother?" Zhou Zhilong asked.
Qiao Liang thought for a while and said, "Brother, you are familiar with County Magistrate Zhanming. Otherwise, you can help me make an appointment with him tonight. I want to have dinner with him."
The name of Zhanming in Qiao Liang's mouth is Feng Zhanming. He is the director of the county bureau and also the deputy county chief, but he ranks relatively low in the county government team.
"Okay, let me be the host and organize a dinner party that night," Zhou Zhilong said.
"It's better this way." Qiao Liang nodded.
The two agreed on a time for dinner in the evening, and Zhou Zhilong left first.
Soon at night, Qiao Liang arrived at the hotel Zhou Zhilong had booked. Zhou Zhilong was the only one in the private room. Qiao Liang was a little surprised to see that Feng Zhanming hadn't come over yet.
"Brother, don't be surprised. Lao Feng and I specifically told the time a little later, so he hasn't arrived yet." Zhou Zhilong grinned, "Let's chat first."
Zhou Zhilong then pushed a plate of peanuts on the table to Qiao Liang, "These peanuts are good, crispy and fragrant, eat a few."
Qiao Liang nodded, touched the peanut and ate it.
Zhou Zhilong chewed peanuts in his mouth and said: "Brother, before eating tonight's meal, we have to fill our stomachs first. Let me tell you, Lao Feng is a wine barrel. Most people can't drink from him."
, but he also likes to fight with others at the wine table, so let’s come over and have something to eat in advance, which is considered cheating.”
Qiao Liang smiled and nodded.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter came in, carrying two bowls of hot porridge. Zhou Zhilong nodded and motioned for the waiter to put them on the table.
After the waiter left several batches, Zhou Zhilong smiled and waved to Qiao Liang: "Brother, let's drink the porridge first, and then we can have a fierce battle with Old Feng later."
Qiao Liang heard it funny. He didn't expect Zhou Zhilong to have such a funny side, but this aroused Qiao Liang's dissatisfaction. In terms of drinking capacity, Qiao Liang felt that he was not bad at all.
Qiao Liang did not refuse Zhou Zhilong's kindness. He picked up the hot porridge and drank it. After thinking about it, he asked Zhou Zhilong: "Brother, how much do you know about County Magistrate Zhanming? What is his relationship with Magistrate Shang?"
"It's hard to say." Zhou Zhilong looked at Qiao Liang unpredictablely, "On the surface, Monk Lao Feng is not close to the county magistrate, but secretly, who knows? Brother, you also know that in organizations like ours, Everyone is a master of acting. Some people are humans during the day and ghosts at night. Some people know people well but don’t know their hearts. Human beings are complex and contradictory individuals. You have to see through a person. , it’s difficult.”
What Zhou Zhilong said was a bit mysterious, but Qiao Liang nodded secretly after hearing it. As a member of the organization, Qiao Liang knew very well that what Zhou Zhilong said was correct.
"Actually, although Lao Feng and I seem to be familiar with each other, we don't have a deep friendship. I really can't understand him. However, I always have an intuition that he doesn't seem to be the same as us." Zhou Zhilong frowned and said.
As soon as Zhou Zhilong finished saying this, someone knocked on the door again. This time it was Feng Zhanming who came in.
Seeing Feng Zhanming, Zhou Zhilong stood up to greet him with a smile: "Hey, Old Feng is here."
"Brother Zhou, why did you and County Magistrate Qiao arrive so early?" Feng Zhanming saw Qiao Liang arriving, waved to greet Qiao Liang, and said with a smile.
"County Magistrate Qiao has just arrived, but I arrived a little early. No, I organized this dinner tonight. As the host, I must be the first to arrive, right?" Zhou Zhilong said with a smile, in front of Feng Zhanming, Zhou Zhilong deliberately addressed Qiao Liang's position because he did not want Feng Zhanming to know that he and Qiao Liang had a very close relationship in private.
"County Magistrate Feng is here." Qiao Liang also stood up with a smile. Although Feng Zhanming is the director of the county bureau, he is still the deputy county magistrate. In the system, generally speaking, you have to address the person with a higher position, otherwise it will be easy offend people.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries, and then the guests of honor and guests took their seats respectively. Feng Zhanming saw the two bowls of porridge on the table and pointed at Zhou Zhilong with a smile: "Brother Zhou, you are a bit unethical. You ate the wine before you drank it." .”
"Old Feng, you really misunderstood this. County Magistrate Qiao shouted that he had a stomachache when he came, so I asked the waiter to bring two bowls of hot porridge." Zhou Zhilong smiled and winked at Qiao Liang calmly. Lower your eyes.
Qiao Liang then smiled and nodded.
Feng Zhanming said "Oh" when he heard this and said nothing more.
The waiter brought the food and wine. Zhou Zhilong ordered a few bottles of white wine and red wine. He filled a glass for all three of them and said with a smile: "Come on, let's have a drink before we start eating. It's a rare opportunity for the three of us to have a drink." Sit down and eat together."
"Yes, this is the first time County Magistrate Feng and I have dinner together. We will have a drink alone later." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"It's easy to talk about." Feng Zhanming smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a straight line and he nodded.
After a glass of wine, Zhou Zhilong invited the two of them to eat some food together. After a few bites of the food, Qiao Liang took the initiative to bring the wine and filled it for all three of them. Then he stood up and said to Feng Zhanming: "County Magistrate Feng, come here, I respect you. One drink for you."
"Hey, I don't dare take it seriously. If you want to respect me, I should respect County Magistrate Qiao." Feng Zhanming stood up and said quickly.
The two clinked their cups, and Qiao Liang deliberately lowered the cup, making it a little lower than the other person's.
Seeing Qiao Liang's attitude, Feng Zhanming narrowed his eyes and smiled a little more on his face.
The three of them were eating and drinking, talking and laughing. Qiao Liang and Feng Zhanming repeatedly clinked glasses. Finally, Feng Zhanming took the initiative to express concern and said: "County Magistrate Qiao has a bad stomach, so he'd better drink less."
"It's okay. I'm happy to have dinner with County Magistrate Feng tonight. A little stomachache is nothing, just bear with it. I'll be happy only after having a drink with Magistrate Feng." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
After hearing Qiao Liang's words, Zhou Zhilong beside him couldn't help but nod secretly, thinking that Qiao Liang's words were so beautiful. Even Zhou Zhilong felt the same, let alone Feng Zhanming. Qiao Liang's words made him grin. , I felt very comfortable.
The three of them drank a lot, and seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Qiao Liang said: "County Magistrate Feng, in fact, I invited Magistrate Zhou to prepare this meal tonight. I have something to ask Magistrate Feng. .”
"What's the matter? Just ask County Magistrate Qiao." Feng Zhanming waved his hand and said boldly.
"I wonder if County Magistrate Feng is clear about a hit-and-run accident that occurred on Liangnan Road yesterday evening?" Qiao Liang asked.
After hearing Qiao Liang's words, Feng Zhanming's heart moved, his eyes narrowed subconsciously, and he said with a smile: "County Magistrate Qiao asked this, the county bureau has so many things going on every day, how could I pay attention to a small traffic accident? This matter should be asked by someone from the traffic police brigade to find out. County Magistrate Qiao seems to be very concerned about this accident? How about I call the person in charge of the brigade over now? If County Magistrate Qiao wants to ask anything, just ask him directly. He is."
"That's not necessary." Qiao Liang smiled and waved, "County Magistrate Feng, the reason why I am actually concerned about this accident is because I was at the scene yesterday, and the vehicle that caused the accident ran a red light and hit someone right under my nose, and then Escape, this kind of behavior is simply too bad."
"Is there such a thing?" Feng Zhanming seemed very angry after hearing this, "County Magistrate Qiao is right, this kind of behavior is indeed too bad and the impact is too bad."
"Well, that's why I want to know the follow-up situation of this accident." Qiao Liang nodded. He originally wanted to say that he learned through He Qingqing that the county bureau had not opened a case for this accident at all. But then he thought about it. He Qingqing is not good, and will even harm He Qingqing's best friend at the police station, so Qiao Liang simply made up a lie, "County Magistrate Feng, I sent someone to the hospital today to visit the injured person who was hit yesterday. It seems that The county bureau did not file a case against the accident, nor did it send anyone to the hospital to interview the injured and take notes."
"Is there such a thing?" Feng Zhanming's eyes widened, and he immediately patted the table and said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable. What did the people from the traffic police brigade do? County Magistrate Qiao, don't worry, I will take them when I go to work tomorrow. Let’s see what the heck they are doing.”
"Don't be angry, County Magistrate Feng. I'm just asking. Maybe there is something delayed at the traffic police brigade. It would be best for Magistrate Feng to ask, but don't embarrass the people below." Qiao Liang looked at Feng Zhanming with a smile.
"It's rare to meet a good leader like County Magistrate Qiao who can think about the people below." Feng Zhanming laughed, "Don't worry Magistrate Qiao, I will understand the situation tomorrow and I will definitely not embarrass them. In fact, it is not easy for the people below. "
"Yeah, Magistrate Feng is right." Qiao Liang nodded and smiled.
On the side, Zhou Zhilong saw that the two of them were almost chatting and interrupted with a smile: "Come on, let's keep drinking. It's true for you two, we are drinking this night just to relax, and you are talking about business."
"That's right, keep drinking." Qiao Liang nodded with a smile.
Zhou Zhilong continued to drink, and after drinking for a few more times, Feng Zhanming opened his hazy drunken eyes and stammered: "No...I can't do it anymore. I drank...drinked too much. I...have been in poor health these past two days."
It’s so comfortable, I can’t drink anymore…”
"Old Feng, this doesn't look like your drinking capacity." Zhou Zhilong said with a smile.
Feng Zhanming didn't answer, and just lay down on the table.
Zhou Zhilong pushed the other party, and Feng Zhanming snored.
"Asleep?" Qiao Liang asked in surprise.
"He really fell asleep. It seems he really drank too much." Zhou Zhilong shook his head and smiled, "I asked Lao Feng's driver to come up and take him home."
Zhou Zhilong went to call Feng Zhanming’s driver up, and together they helped Feng Zhanming get into the car.
Watching Feng Zhanming's car leave, Zhou Zhilong's eyes flashed with light.
