This face was familiar to Li Yuanlang. It was the Qiu Tiemao he had been looking for for a long time.

Sure enough, he was hiding in Niu Guihua's house. This was exactly the same as his previous judgment, which was very accurate.

He hid in the corner calmly, and when Qiu Tie took the trouble to come out of the stove and clean up the dust on his body, he suddenly appeared and walked to Qiu Tie's side, patting him gently on the shoulder.

This Qiu Tiemao was so frightened. Fortunately, it was during the day. If it had been at night, he would have been frightened half to death.

"Ah!" Qiu Tie glanced at Li Yuanlang instinctively, his eyes widened, and the muscles on his face caused facial nerves to twitch. There were several scars on his face. It hurt so much that he couldn't help but mouth.

There was a "hiss" sound.

"Qiu Tiemao, you don't have to be afraid. My name is Li Yuanlang, and I am the new secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." In order to alleviate Qiu Tiemao's fear, Li Yuanlang truthfully revealed his identity.

Qiu Tiemao was already frightened by Li Yuanlang's sudden appearance. Li Yuanlang introduced himself, and his worry was somewhat relieved. It took him a long time to ask: "You are Secretary Li!"

"It's guaranteed." Li Yuanlang smiled easily, and the goodwill conveyed made Qiu Tie's nervousness relax a little, and his wariness slowly melted away.

"I...I..." Qiu Tiemao seemed so excited that he was incoherent and his lips moved dryly, not knowing what to say.

He had heard of Li Yuanlang's name, especially his fight with Xiang Tianguang and Lai Cheng, which eventually led to Xiang Tianguang committing suicide in fear of crime and Lai Cheng being arrested. These people were all his enemies, and Li Yuanlang indirectly helped him avenge him.

, so in front of Li Yuanlang, he had no grudges or wariness, but felt particularly cordial, as if he were meeting a relative.

At this moment, Niu Guihua suddenly broke in. When she saw that Li Yuanlang had discovered Qiu Tiemao, she rushed to Qiu Tiemao desperately, protected him in front of her, and said nervously: "What are you going to do to Tiemao?"

!I said that you always ask about Tie Mao in a roundabout way. It turns out that you are here for Tie Mao. Who are you? Mo Yougen sent you here! It’s not enough for you to beat him and threaten him. You also want to

What? Tell you, everything has nothing to do with Tie Mao. If you want to kill or behead me, come to me and don’t make things difficult for Tie Mao anymore."

"Sister Niu, we are not here to arrest Qiu Tiemao, we are here to understand the situation. This has nothing to do with Mo Yougen." Seeing that Niu Guihua misunderstood him, Li Yuanlang patiently explained to her.

Luo Yang, who followed later, simply introduced Li Yuanlang's identity directly, "This is Secretary Li Yuanlang, the newly transferred secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of our county. He is here to help you resolve your grievances."

"Secretary Li!" Niu Guihua was stunned for a moment, and Qiu Tiemao behind him also confirmed: "It should be Secretary Li. I have seen his photo."

"You, are you really Secretary Li?" Niu Guihua cried with joy, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Sister Niu, Comrade Qiu Tiemao, please forgive me for approaching you in this way. It is really a last resort." Niu Guihua and Qiu Tiemao were very moved by Li Yuanlang's sincere words and attitude.

This place was not the place to talk. The four of them returned to Niu Guihua's house, closed the door, and Li Yuanlang and Qiu Tiemao chatted alone.

What he was concerned about was why Qiu Tiemao offended Mo Yougen. Before, he only knew that Mo Yougen was looking at a piece of land in Zhongdong Gangzi Village, but Qiu Tiemao had not approved it. He needed to know the details and the causes and consequences.

Qiu Tiemao said that although Donggangzi Village is located in a plain, there is a rolling mountain range about five miles away from the village. Looking from a distance, it looks like a giant lying dragon, so it is named Wolong Mountain.

Mo Yougen was very superstitious and found a treasure land in Wolong Mountain that a Feng Shui master found. It was the head of Wolong Mountain. There was a large forest on the mountainside with flat terrain. Mo Yougen's Aoxiang Company happened to be mainly engaged in real estate development.

, he wanted to rent the land and build a villa complex.

Qiu Tie took the risk because he saw that the procedures of Aoxiang Company were not complete and that the villa area was built on the mountain, which destroyed the natural landscape. Although this would bring economic benefits to Tuanjie Town in the short term, in the long run, destroying vegetation would easily cause soil erosion.

, threatening the residents and fertile farmland at the foot of the mountain, causing no benefit at all.

After careful consideration, Qiu Tiemao did not approve it. After all, Mo Yougen had certain influence and energy in Xiwu County. Qiu Tiemao used his connections because this road was not working. In the end, even Liang Yunxiao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tuanjie Town, and Wu Hongli, the mayor of the town, came forward.

There is no root in doing his work and hoping that with a stroke of his pen, it will be accomplished.

However, Qiu Tiemao withstood the pressure from all parties and did not sign the document in the end. This completely annoyed Mo Yougen. It happened that the relationship between Qiu Tiemao and Niu Guihua was unclear, so he started from this aspect, which eventually led to Qiu Tiemao's

Tie Mao lost his official position.

Qiu Tie knew that Mo Yougen was behind this incident, so he felt that he had been wronged and complained everywhere, hoping that someone would redress his injustice.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yougen sent Lai Cheng to stop him hundreds of times. As soon as there was any sign of trouble, he immediately grabbed Qiu Tiemao and beat him, scolded him and threatened him, just to make Qiu Tiemao shut up and avoid causing trouble.

Being forced by Lai Cheng and the others, Qiu Tiemao had no choice but to hide around. For a while, he hid in an abandoned cabin in the mountains. He didn't eat for three days. When he couldn't hold it in any longer, he ran to Tuanjie down the mountain.

While eating noodles, I unexpectedly encountered Lai Cheng and others, who were beaten and kicked again, leaving injuries all over their bodies.

This was what Li Yuanlang saw that night, and he was convinced of it.

Li Yuanlang didn't speak during the whole process. He understood the situation. He wanted to analyze and make judgments. He was wearing his ears, not his mouth.

After listening to Qiu Tiemao's account, Li Yuanlang decided to go to Wolong Mountain for field investigation. Qiu Tiemao asked Niu Guihua to prepare lunch. When he was eating vigorously, he saw the sound of dogs barking from the yard. Niu Guihua went out to open the door, and a black man opened the door.

The handsome middle-aged man walked in.

Qiu Tiemao stood up and introduced that this was Lai Xingbao, the director of Donggangzi Village.

Lai Xingbao was shocked when he heard Qiu Tie Mao revealed Li Yuanlang's identity, and his smiling expression instantly turned to respect.

He took the initiative to stretch out his hands, half-bowed and apologized: "You are so strict, Secretary. It was my dereliction of duty not to welcome you to my village to guide the work."

"I'm not here to guide the work, I'm just here to take a look."

Li Yuanlang said it in an understatement, Laixingbao is so smart, meeting Qiu Tiemao is just as simple as a casual look!

He immediately started praising Qiutiemaobao Village for its great contribution to Donggangzi Village, helping the village apply for many good projects, some of which have already seen results. He finally patted his chest and expressed his views with great energy.

: "Apart from anything else, Mayor Qiu is definitely a good cadre. Unlike some town cadres who only talk but don't do anything, he actually does things for our people. Secretary Li, to be honest, I am not satisfied with the county's handling of Qiu Town.

You have your own opinions on the long-term results. Such a good cadre cannot completely negate his achievements because of one thing, as that will make people feel chilling."

Lai Xingbao complained about Qiu Tiemao. Li Yuanlang understood his mood and thoughts. He expressed his position: "We will investigate clearly about Comrade Qiu Tiemao. This is why I came here this time."

The word "comrade" warmed Qiu Tiemao's heart, and he had a somewhat favorable impression of the new secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"With Secretary Li's words, I believe Mayor Qiu will get a fair and equitable result."

After talking for a while, Laixingbao called and asked him to handle something, so he had to stand up and say goodbye apologetically. He also asked Li Yuanlang and others to stay in the village for dinner at night, but Li Yuanlang politely declined because he was in a hurry to do something.

After seeing off Laixingbao, Li Yuanlang, Luo Yang, and Qiu Tiemao got into the van, and Lao Zhang drove straight to the west end of the village following Qiu Tiemao's directions.

After leaving Donggangzi Village and driving about three miles to the west, you can see a rolling mountain range in the distance.

Qiu Tiemao was sitting in the car and pointed out to Li Yuanlang that that was Wolong Mountain. Not to mention, looking at this group of mountains from a distance, there was indeed a shadow of a giant dragon lying on the ground. It was called "Wolong Mountain" and it was indeed worthy of its name.

.

The van drove directly to the foot of the mountain. Because the mountain was high and the road was steep, the car couldn't go up any higher, so we had to walk the rest of the way.

This time, Lao Zhang did not sit in the car, but followed Li Yuanlang, Luo Yang and Qiu Tiemao up the mountain. He was probably protecting Li Yuanlang. At least he knew a few tricks, so he would have no problem dealing with the little thieves.

The road up the mountain is indeed steep. Fortunately, Li Yuanlang often exercised when he got up in the morning. In addition, he was in good health. He walked for a long time without losing breath or changing his face.

Luo Yang was a young man, so it was natural that he could do a small sport like mountain climbing. However, Qiu Tiemao was injured due to being beaten and was older, so he had to take a break halfway through to catch his breath.

Li Yuanlang broke off a branch from a nearby tree and made a simple walking stick for him. With this thing to lean on, Qiu Tie's climb up the mountain would not be so strenuous, and he could keep up with the pace of others without falling behind.

After climbing for about an hour, a few people reached halfway up the mountain, sat on a rock, drank a few sips of mineral water, smoked a cigarette and chatted.

Qiu Tiemao pointed to a dense forest not far away and said: "Deep in this forest is the piece of land that Mo Yougen is interested in. We can walk a few hundred meters to get there."

Li Yuanlang looked at the terrain and murmured: "If we build a villa here, there should be another road up and down the mountain. This road is too steep and difficult to walk."

"Yes, it has been sealed with iron sheets on both sides of the road a long time ago. There are always patrols, so outsiders can't get in and can't see." Qiu Tiemao said.

After resting for a while, a few people saw that it was getting late and the sun was setting in the west. Everyone got up and Qiu Tie took the lead and headed deeper into the woods.

The reason why we chose to do it when it was getting late was to reduce the chance of being discovered and for everyone's safety.

Stepping in the knee-high grass and using their mobile phones to illuminate it, the group of people walked for about ten minutes. Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of their eyes, and at the same time, a roar of machines entered their eardrums. Looking around, Li Yuanlang saw a jaw-dropping sight.
