In Li Yuanlang's office, Yang Mei sat in front of him. After Wang Zhongqiu brought tea, he turned around and left knowingly.

From beginning to end, Yang Mei's eyes were always staring at Wang Zhongqiu intentionally or unintentionally. Not only Wang Zhongqiu, but also Li Yuanlang felt strange.

When Yang Mei saw Wang Zhongqiu's back disappeared, before she could speak, Li Yuanlang asked: "Deputy County Magistrate Yang, are you so interested in the Mid-Autumn Festival? If you wanted to make a match, you were too late. He has a girlfriend."

In response to Li Yuanlang's joke, Yang Mei couldn't laugh at all, but instead looked solemn and hesitant.

"Deputy County Magistrate Yang, could it be that you..." Li Yuanlang had a bad premonition.

"Yes." Yang Mei nodded deeply, "The situation I want to report to you is about Secretary Wang. But it is not about him, but about his girlfriend Liu Ting."

Not long ago, Chief Chen of the County Education Bureau was found out by the Discipline Inspection Commission. When he gave his explanation, he mentioned that Liu Ting once gave him 10,000 yuan in cash and asked him to help run the operation and enter the county early childhood education center to become an in-service teacher.

Official preschool teacher.

When Li Yuanlang heard this, he frowned, thought for a while and asked, "When did this happen?"

"It must have been more than a year. Chief Chen can't remember the exact time clearly." Yang Mei told the truth.

"In other words, Wang Zhongqiu had not entered the county government and became my secretary at that time?" Li Yuanlang nodded, "Deputy County Magistrate Yang, I will investigate the issues you reported clearly. I appreciate your actions very much.

"

After saying this, Yang Mei stood up and left.

After she left, Li Yuanlang immediately called Song Yuntao to inquire about the matter.

Song Yuntao said: "We have verified this matter clearly, and it is indeed true. However, the amount of bribes paid by Liu Yuanshan did not exceed 5,000 yuan. After careful consideration, we decided to criticize and educate him and not file a case."

There is a provision in the law that no case will be filed if the amount of bribery does not exceed 5,000 yuan.

Li Yuanlang was stunned and asked in confusion: "Liu Yuanshan? Didn't you say that the briber was Liu Ting? How did he become Liu Yuanshan?"

"It's Liu Yuanshan. After verifying this, Liu Yuanshan has admitted it." Song Yuntao said in a surprised tone, "County Magistrate Li, where did you hear about the gift from Liu Ting?"

Li Yuanlang did not answer, but asked again: "Isn't the bribe amount 10,000? Why is it less than 5,000?"

"That's it. Chief Chen didn't get the job done, so he later gave Liu Yuanshan six thousand back, and he kept the four thousand for himself on the pretext of hiring someone to do things."

Li Yuanlang immediately felt that this matter was not simple, and it was not just an ordinary bribery incident.

There is a big discrepancy between the problems reported by Yang Mei and the actual situation. Is her information wrong or is it intentional? Or someone is making rumors to challenge him. Li Yuanlang can't judge for a while.

Wang Zhongqiu is the secretary he admires most. The young man is steady and flexible, and is highly appreciated by Li Yuanlang.

He was very worried that if someone used this to make a fuss, it would be detrimental to Wang Zhongqiu and even him.

After finishing the call with Song Yuntao, Li Yuanlang called Wang Zhongqiu.

"Zhongqiu, you and I have been getting along for a while. I still say the same thing. I treat you as a friend in private. Friends should be honest with each other. There are some things I need you to answer truthfully."

It was rare to see his boss talking to him so formally. Wang Zhongqiu suddenly became nervous, and an ominous intuition emerged spontaneously.

"County Magistrate, please ask." Wang Zhongqiu couldn't help but rub his pants.

Li Yuanlang asked directly if Wang Zhongqiu knew that Liu Yuanshan sent money to Chief Chen.

"I don't know." Wang Zhongqiu's answer was quite straightforward and not muddled at all.

"Now someone reported to me that the briber was Liu Ting, and the gift given to Chief Chen was 10,000 yuan. Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you think about this?"

"This is someone deliberately smearing me, and their real goal is to target you." Wang Zhongqiu became extremely calm and immediately expressed his position: "County Magistrate, I will take the initiative to explain the situation to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and not give some people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

.”

Li Yuanlang waved his hand and said: "No need. You and Liu Ting are currently just boyfriend and girlfriend, and I have found out that it was not Liu Ting who sent the money, but her father Liu Yuanshan's personal behavior, which has nothing to do with you. In addition, Secretary Yuntao has already

After the verification is completed, Liu Yuanshan will only be criticized and educated, and no case will be filed."

  ​ ​ ​

Li Yuanlang's word "hum" has already stated his position. He will not be afraid, will not give up, and must persevere to the end.

"Zhongqiu, I believe in you, and I trust you too. However, you need to have a good talk with your future father-in-law, and don't fall into some people's trap. Once something goes wrong, no one can protect him.

"

Li Yuanlang's words are pertinent. Liu Yuanshan is greedy for money and loves to show off. He has been a junior clerk all his life. When someone finally takes him seriously, he will inevitably get carried away and do stupid things.

Get vaccinated in advance to avoid causing trouble to Wang Zhongqiu.

"I will." In the past, Wang Zhongqiu would not have dared to guarantee it.

Originally, Liu Ting's family looked down upon him, so how could he have the courage?

It's different now. Wang Zhongqiu is already a firm believer in the Liu family. Even in Liu Yuanshan's workplace, from Director Zhang Wanyou to Deputy Director Wang Quan and down to the various section chiefs and directors, they all treat him as their own.

This is not all due to the fact that he has a future son-in-law who will work as a secretary to the county magistrate. It is because of Wang Zhongqiu's help.

Therefore, in the Liu family, Wang Zhongqiu's words are still somewhat convincing.

The old saying that dogs bite ugly ones is definitely true.

When having dinner at Liu's house that night, Wang Zhongqiu directly mentioned Liu Yuanshan's gift.

When he finished speaking, Liu Ting's mother was so shocked that she dropped her chopsticks on the floor. She grabbed Liu Yuanshan's arm and asked in horror: "Her father, is what he said about the Mid-Autumn Festival true? Are you really called to drink tea by the Discipline Inspection Commission?"

Already?"

Even though she is a housewife, she has been watching anti-corruption TV series recently, and the word "drinking tea" is often mentioned in them, so she remembered it.

Liu Ting was even more surprised and asked her father directly: "Why do you hide it from me when you give me gifts for work?"

This made Liu Yuanshan look ugly. He put the wine glass he was holding on the table and said angrily: "Don't mention that bastard named Chen. He didn't tell me that the matter was not done and he pocketed four thousand yuan from me. He deserves to be punished."

Check, it’s so black-hearted.”

Immediately, he drank a glass of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "You bastard, he even confessed me to the Discipline Inspection Commission for investigation. Fortunately, he gave me a refund of 6,000, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."

And he looked at his daughter and said in a gentle tone: "Tingting, I carried you behind my back to give you a surprise, but it didn't work out and I was blackmailed out of 4,000 yuan by a man named Chen. My old face was completely embarrassed."

Yeah, why bother mentioning it."

"Dad..." Liu Ting's eyes were moist, and she said emotionally: "I am your biological daughter, what else are you embarrassed to say. We are a family, we share blessings and hardships, and we are not allowed to do such stupid things in the future.

It’s over.”

Knowing that her husband was fine, Liu Ting's mother finally felt relieved, but the thought of losing four thousand yuan in vain made her heartache.

I couldn't help but scold Section Chief Chen, saying that he would not die well and so on.

Still thinking about the damage inside the embankment and making up for it outside the embankment, he said to Wang Zhongqiu: "Uncle, aren't you the county magistrate's secretary? Why don't you go to Chief Chen's house to take care of his wife? If that doesn't work, bring the police. I don't believe it anymore, not now.

Is society governed by the rule of law? If you dare to embezzle four thousand yuan from our family, is there such a thing as the king's law?"

"Mom, you can't do this." Wang Zhongqiu persuaded him bitterly: "It is illegal for my father to give gifts to others. He is merciful without holding people accountable. Also, in the future, we must pay attention to keeping ourselves clean and avoid taking thousands of dollars.

Don't reach out, that's what County Magistrate Li also means."

Liu Yuanshan's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in shock: "Does even County Magistrate Li know about this?"

In order to attract the attention of his prospective parents-in-law, Wang Zhongqiu decided to make this matter more serious and scare them.

So, he repeated Li Yuanlang's original words with added detail. Sure enough, Liu Yuanshan fell silent and Liu Ting's mother was also dumbfounded.

Even Liu Ting stared at Wang Zhongqiu with big eyes and small eyes, and asked in confusion: "Are you saying that someone deliberately set up a trap to target you and County Magistrate Li himself?"

"Well, these people are powerful, and there is more than one person, they are a large group of people. So you have to be extra careful and don't let those people take advantage and cause big trouble."

Immediately, the dinner table fell into silence, and only the ticking sound of the clock could be heard.
