The Land Cruiser entered the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau, and Su Yuping and Yu Nengwen were already waiting in front of the office building.
"Mayor Qingyun, congratulations on finding a real brother." Because he went to Anping to help Chen Qingyun, Yu Nengwen was not as cautious as Su Yuping. When they met, he joked with Chen Qingyun: "No wonder he was able to defraud more than 100 yuan from the bidder.
With ten thousand dollars in cash, that guy looks just like you."
Chen Qingyun was concerned about this person's backside. He turned to Su Yuping and said, "Is there any result of the interrogation?"
Su Yuping laughed and said: "A coward like this is like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube when he enters the door. Everything that should be said and what should not be said is poured out.
He is just a rogue in Jili Town. He knows everything about the mayor, key projects, and tendering. He was taught everything by someone. In three days, he became a thin middle-aged man who walked like a gust of wind.
, someone who made no sound of footsteps accompanied him and explained to him matters related to the tender.
It was not until two days before the opening of the bid at the Government Affairs Center that this coward sat down at the Wenjun Brewing Cafe in accordance with the middle-aged man's request, waiting for others to come to him. The middle-aged man originally wanted him to do it no matter how much money he received.
He left Anping immediately the next day. But the coward thought he was fine, so he hid at home, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find him."
Chen Qingyun smiled bitterly and said: "Who is that middle-aged man?"
"That coward doesn't know anything." Su Yuping said bitterly: "From the analysis of the situation that the coward has grasped, there must be someone within the government providing them with information, and it is very systematic information. I have been discussing with Captain Yu for a long time
, I feel that only people from two departments are the most suspicious:
One is the people who lead the construction team of the Government Affairs Center, but the composition of these people is very complicated and they are present in both offices; the second is the people in key offices, who can access these things at any time."
"Wang Yongyong." A thought flashed through Chen Qingyun's mind, and he shook his head again, feeling that the possibility was unlikely. It was very different from the appearance described by Su Yuping. Who is it? What is the motive for doing this?
Now Faye Wong spends less and less time in Anping. She has become obsessed with public welfare undertakings. After hearing Chen Qingyun talk about the poverty in Chali County, she took Sha Zi with her to build several hope primary schools in Chali.
.This is also Chen Qingyun’s support for Tang Zhaoran’s appointment as Secretary of the Chali County Party Committee. Of course, the bulk of it is not in donations.
Faye Wong was not in Rongcheng, and Chen Qingyun did not go back over the weekend. The discovery of a tiankeng in the back mountain of Baxian Lake last time made him realize that Hushan is not simple. Today, taking advantage of the weekend holiday, the government office did not arrange other matters, so he took Wei Bin to Huhu again
Township.
This time the road widening project only reaches Baxian Lake Market Town, and further in, there is a very narrow tractor road.
The road into the mountain is very steep, but an off-road vehicle can go on it. There are very few cars on this road, but there are quite a few tractors. Fortunately, we can barely pass the cars without getting stuck on the road.
The vegetation in Hushan is good. When you enter the mountain from this road, you rarely see cliffs and dense trees, which are very eye-catching. Wei Bin parked the car at the village settlement at the end of the tractor road and chose a wider mountain road at will.
Walking deeper into the mountains.
Before entering the mountain, Chen Qingyun had learned about the situation in Hushan. Past the Baxian Lake, there were more than ten natural villages in the mountains. Chen Qingyun did not plan to visit every village, but just wanted to walk into the mountain and see
See the life of the villagers in the mountain and appreciate the natural landscape of Hushan.
The mountain road was rugged and steep, but it did not deter Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin. They followed the path into the mountain and headed aimlessly deep into the mountain.
Standing on a stone bridge, the thick mist gave people a cool feeling, and there was a roaring sound from the mountains in the distance. Wei Bin said happily: "Sir, there is another waterfall, and it is already the fifth waterfall. Yeah." Wei Bin has a natural affinity for water, especially in such an environment.
Chen Qingyun was about to answer when suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air from the woods. Chen Qingyun gently explored with his left hand and picked up an unknown mountain fruit. After being attacked, Chen Qingyun spontaneously circulated Qian Yang Qi and at the same time used Yin and Yang Vision. He used the Qi Clutch Technique to explore into the woods, and a group of monkeys appeared in his perception. After the monkeys attacked, all the monkeys threw the fruits in their hands at Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin.
Wei Bin didn't know it was a monkey. When he saw Chen Qingyun being attacked, he used Land Flying to rush into the woods. Seeing Wei Bin's swift figure, the monkeys screamed "Zhi Zhi" and dispersed with a bang. They were so frightened that they rushed towards the woods. Escape deep into the woods.
Chen Qingyun was very puzzled as to why the monkeys would attack pedestrians. They stopped and continued walking along the rugged mountain road into the mountain. After climbing over six or seven hillsides, a clear stream appeared in front of them. Upstream from the stream, there are actually over a hundred households of villagers living.
Seeing two strangers, more than a dozen thick + strong dogs swarmed up and barked around Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin. Chen Qingyun silently channeled his Qian Yang Qi and let out a low roar, like the sound of a lion. Many local dogs were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
"Sir, these local dogs have never seen a lion, why are they afraid of this lion's roar?" Wei Bin followed Chen Qingyun with a relaxed expression. He usually drove Chen Qingyun, and the two rarely talked. In front of others, Wei Bin Bin basically doesn't speak.
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "It's probably the fear of the unknown and power. Animals are much more sensitive than humans in this regard. Someone came out in front, let's go into the village."
People in the mountains are very sensitive to the movement of dogs. When Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin were still more than a hundred meters away, dogs from various families began to bark. If Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin could not resist the dog's attack, someone would be there at that time. Stop.
"Dad, where is this place?" Chen Qingyun said to the wrinkled old man in front of him: "Is this the farthest place in Huhu Township?"
The old man replied: "This is Xujiagou. Going further into the mountains, there are still three or four families living here and there. After more than ten miles, we crossed the mountains and came out of Anping. Two young brothers came to the mountains to buy medicinal materials. ah?"
Chen Qingyun smiled and said: "How did dad know that we were purchasing medicinal materials?"
"Except for those who buy medicinal materials, who from outside the mountain will come here?" The old man invited kindly: "Everyone coming into the mountain is a guest. It's already noon. Please come and sit at home. There's nothing to entertain, just don't dislike it." "
Xujiagou? Chen Qingyun remembered that Xu Qin's home was called Xujiagou. He tentatively said, "Dad, do you have a little girl named Xu Qin here?"
"You're talking about Miss Qin. She's a high school student who lives in the mountains. I heard she's working as a waiter for the chief, and she's promising. She even came home during the Spring Festival and brought gifts to every household. What a good girl. "When the old man talked about Xu Qin, the smile on his face became even thicker. The dense wrinkles were like pleats, which gave Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin a warm feeling: "Her home is on the slope in front, I will take you there. Bar."
After walking for more than 100 meters along the mountain road and climbing more than 30 steps, I saw a bluestone bungalow in front of me. It had only one floor and a layout of three compartments and two entrances. It was not too simple. The furnishings in the house were simple, but the cleaning
It's very clean and the owner is obviously a hard-working man.
People in the mountains like to be lively, and few outsiders come in, so Chen Qingyun and Wei Bin have become rare guests. After the old man sent Chen Qingyun to Xu Qin's house, he did not leave, but kept in touch with Xu Qin's house.
Parents strike up a conversation.
Xu Qin's parents were extremely happy to see the handsome Chen Qingyun. Parents of this age like to rely on their children's friends with different surnames, even Xu Qin's parents who have seen the world are no exception. Chen Qingyun
We know that Xu Qin’s father’s name is Xu Ping, but he did not reveal his identity.
"Go to the old man's house and borrow their monkey." After Xu Qin's mother went out, Xu Ping said to Chen Qingyun: "Xiao Chen, I will have dinner at home today. There is nothing to entertain in the mountains, but there is still a lot of game. You eat
Snake?"
Chen Qingyun said strangely: "Uncle Xu, just get some side dishes from the mountains, don't bother yourself too much. Just now you asked Aunt Xu to borrow a monkey, what's the point?"
"There are many monkeys in Hushan. Some people outside the mountain like to eat monkey brains. A small monkey can be sold for hundreds of yuan, so some people secretly capture monkeys." Xu Ping obviously knew that it was illegal to capture monkeys, and the expression on his face was very strange: "
Xiao Chen, please don't show off after you come out of the mountain. I think you are Xiao Qin's friend and I want you to have a try."
Chen Qingyun was shocked. He knew how to eat monkey brains, which was a very cruel thing. He said anxiously: "Uncle Xu, call Aunt Xu back quickly. I don't dare to eat monkey brains. Be casual, if you get it
It’s too much trouble, so we can only say goodbye.”
Xu Ping saw that Chen Qingyun's expression was not as polite as he pretended to be, so he smiled and went out, but the old man who brought them here sighed softly.
After Xu Ping went out, he didn't come back for a long time. Accompanied by the old man, Chen Qingyun went for a walk by the creek. The villagers' houses were very simple, similar to the situation when he first arrived in Sequoia Township. They were basically made of adobe bricks.
There are very few tile-roofed houses among the houses built. Most of the houses are still made of bark. Uncle Xu’s house is built with tiled tiles, which is considered a relatively good house in Xujia Village.
"We have very few paddy fields here, less than one acre of land per capita, but the mountains are full of treasures, such as endless bamboo forests and endless wild animals to catch." The old man was like a chatterbox, constantly talking about Chen Qingyun.
Nagging in my ears: "The salt we eat, the rice we buy, and the clothes we buy all come from the mountains. Most of the laborers in the village are bamboo craftsmen, and a small number of people make a living by collecting herbs. When they have free time, everyone will
When hunting in the mountains, some people go to the mountains every night to place animal traps."
Chen Qingyun's mind was still stuck on the monkey issue. He asked casually: "What did Uncle Xu say about borrowing a monkey just now?"
The old man said proudly: "This is a secret in the village. If you were not a guest of Xu Laoer's family, I wouldn't tell you. Everyone in the village knows that monkeys are protected animals by the country and are not allowed to be captured. In the past, it was very common
Few people catch monkeys, because monkeys are smart, even though monkeys can also pick our corn. Just a year ago, someone from the city came to the village to collect monkeys, and the price was very high. At first, several villagers went up the mountain to catch monkeys, and exchanged them for a lot of money.
The banknotes have made the whole village rich. Everyone is jealous, and now almost the whole village regards monkey catching as their main business, and even the bamboo craftsman's work is rarely done."
Regarding the old man's misunderstanding, Chen Qingyun automatically filtered it out. He asked: "Who is coming to buy the monkey?" At this time, Chen Qingyun's heart was in turmoil. He immediately used the yin and yang separation and qi gazing technique, and his perception covered the whole village, and he was suddenly shocked.
: Except for Uncle Xu’s house, almost every house in the village has an iron cage, and each cage contains one or two live monkeys. He also found that Uncle Xu was handling a small animal downstream of the stream, but it was not a monkey.
The old man who had little exposure to the world would not notice the subtle changes in Chen Qingyun's face. He said without any secret: "City people will go to the mountains to purchase every month and pay on the spot. Sometimes they come twice a month. They
I also rented a house in the village, and occasionally people live here. Now it’s time to acquire the monkeys, and when I started seeing you, I thought you were here to acquire the monkeys.”
"Where do these people who collect monkeys come from?"
The old man shook his head and said: "These people speak Mandarin, never tell us their origins, and do not allow us to send the monkeys down the mountain. They also tell us to keep it secret and not tell people outside the village. It turns out that the people in the village are very poor.
It’s hard to buy a new piece of clothing in the new year, let alone send your children to school. Since someone collected the monkeys, everyone has a lot more money, and most people have built new houses.”
The villagers' houses are very new, and it turns out that they made a fortune by catching monkeys. He wanted to stop this illegal behavior immediately, but he knew that if the villagers' employment problem was not solved, even if it was reluctantly stopped now, there would definitely be a rebound. More
The important thing is that we must cut off the monkey business chain and seize the black hands behind the illegal monkey business in order to completely solve this problem.
Unexpectedly, this spontaneous action would lead to the discovery of such a major incident. But Chen Qingyun did not want to continue discussing this topic, so he asked curiously: "Dad, you said that the villagers did not send their children to school, how could Xu Qin come?"
What about high school in the city?"
Xu Qin went to Chen Qingyun's house to work as a nanny, which was arranged by Bai Siliang. Later, Chen Qingyun found out that Xu Qin was the foreman of Fengxian Hotel in Anping. Bai Siliang took a fancy to her and gave her a settling-in allowance and promised a lot.
Because of the treatment in the hotel, Xu Qin reluctantly came to Chen Qingyun's home. At that time, Chen Qingyun was still the director of the Anping Rubber Factory. Later, Xu Qin saw that Chen Qingyun was a humble man, so she really worked hard to be a nanny. Otherwise, Chen Qingyun would not have dared to send Xu Qin to
Kuang Chunming's family.
"Xu Lao'er is the most promising person in the village, and he is also the only guy in the village who doesn't go up the mountain to catch monkeys." When the old man talked about Xu Lao'er, his interest suddenly aroused, and his face was full of envy: "During the land reform,
, Xu Laoer, who was still a little boy at that time, was running around behind a female cadre. Seeing his cleverness, the female cadre took him outside the mountain and sent him to school. Later he became a cadre of an Anping Machinery Factory until
He retired only last year and everyone built this house for his family before he returned to the village to live, but he also has a house in the city. Xu Qin is the youngest of the three sisters of the Xu family. Both sisters were admitted to college and all participated in the program.
I have a job, but it’s not as promising as Xu Qin. Serving the chief executive, that’s a promising future.”
Chen Qingyun didn't know much about Xu Qin. He only knew that her hometown was from Xujia Village, Huhu Township. He didn't expect that she was a child of Anping Machinery Factory. After being with Chen Qingyun for more than two years, Xu Qin had never expressed any concern for her.
Chen Qingyun made a request to send her to Rongcheng Hotel to learn cooking skills, and she readily accepted it, and received praise from Little Button. The old man's words made Chen Qingyun immediately have a good impression of Xu Qin, and felt that this girl was worth cultivating.
But she is now in the Kuang family and is deeply loved by Gu Dai. I will mention it to my aunt when the time comes.
While eating, Chen Qingyun asked Xu Ping what interesting places were near the village. Xu Ping smiled and said: "You city people like to ask this question. In fact, in the whole Hushan, Baxian Lake is the most interesting. Not only is there
There are hot springs, a big lake, and the ruins of immortals. Of course, I don’t know if it is true. I heard that someone is developing Baxian Lake. This developer is really discerning. Although it is not easy for us to get in here, it is actually very close to Baxian Lake. It is probably a straight line
The distance is only one or two kilometers."
Chen Qingyun said in surprise: "Where is the pit that day?"
Uncle Xu pointed to the east and said: "The tiankeng is even closer. It is just over two hills. The place is very mysterious and the locals dare not approach it. According to the old man in the village, the tiankeng occasionally has thunderous roars.
If it appears, the sound can reach Xujiacun."
"Uncle Xu is retired from Anping Machinery Factory? You should know Director Youqi, right? What position does he hold in the factory?" Chen Qingyun had an idea, so he wanted to know more about Uncle Xu.
Xu Laoer looked at Chen Qingyun in surprise and said: "Xiao Chen, do you know our Boss You? I work in the infrastructure department of the machine factory and often come into contact with Boss You. The year before last, the factory decided to implement an internal withdrawal system, and I was the first to sign up.
"I have seen too many shady stories about engineering construction, and I really have no interest in playing with them anymore." Xu Laoer's words were purely casual, but how could Chen Qingyun not hear the sadness in his words.
"If Uncle Xu is willing, I would like to recommend a place to you." The development of Baxian Lake still lacks a person in charge of engineering construction. Unexpectedly, it was the first time I went to the countryside to collect scenery, and I came to Xu Qin's house, and Xu Qin's
My father is also an upright construction management expert: "The developer of Baxian Lake is a friend of mine. They need a construction management person in charge. Is Uncle Xu interested?"
Xu Ping laughed and said: "That's great. How come I'm missing from the construction in front of our house. But I'm not an expert. I'm afraid your friends will be disappointed."
