The thing's golden light shone directly into Li Yuanlang's eyes.

No need to guess, they are four gold bars neatly stacked.

Since these four gold bars are not officially authentic, a rough estimate is that they are around 20,000.

"Deputy County Magistrate Yang, how did this come about?"

Yang Mei sighed and said: "It was given by Shen Aijun, the then county magistrate. It was given as a welfare payment. I later found out that the main leaders of the county government had a share. When I thought that if everyone took it but I didn't take it, it would definitely lead to Shen's death. The dissatisfaction of the Aijun will make it impossible to carry out work in the future. So..."

"So you took it, right?"

"Yes, I can't help it. But I have been locked in the office and never moved. County Magistrate Li, when you first came here, I thought about handing it over to you, but I don't know if you are like Shen Aijun. Or if you and Lei Zhen are the same, I don’t dare to try."

Li Yuanlang did not answer, but was thinking deeply.

There is some truth in what Yang Mei said, and it is indeed true. In such a complicated situation, it is difficult to distinguish who is righteous and who is evil, who is good and who is bad.

But thinking about it carefully, Yang Mei still hid her little thoughts.

Why was Zhang Zhongqiang unmoved when faced with ten gold bars, but Yang Mei took four?

Are there just these four?

Shen Aijun is dead and cannot confront him. Only she and God know how much.

Li Yuanlang covered the gold bar with the newspaper and said: "Deputy County Magistrate Yang, please give this to Secretary Yuntao. You should talk to him about something."

His meaning was clear, Song Yuntao was the secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the right way was to hand it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

How could Yang Mei not know that the reason why she asked Li Yuanlang to take the initiative to explain was to show her attitude.

Song Yuntao really couldn't resist mumbling. After Li Yuanlang mentioned his name, Yang Mei left, and Song Yuntao called Li Yuanlang's personal mobile phone.

After answering the call, there was no nonsense and he said straightforwardly: "Let's get together tonight, you, me and Lao Lu."

Li Yuanlang also shortened his response: "Send me your address and I'll take a taxi there."

"Let's go by car. The farmhouse has a special car to pick you up, which will save you money on the car."

Li Yuanlang sneered at this, "Tsk, I was just about to ask you to reimburse me for the fare, but you are so stingy that you will also calculate the fare."

But Song Yuntao said: "There is no way, we don't have gray income, and we don't divide gold. We rely on dead wages to support our family. How can we do it if we don't save some money?"

At this point, he couldn't help it anymore and burst into laughter on the other end of the phone.

Li Yuanlang didn't hold back and started laughing.

These two people were joking as if they were serious.

The most excited person is Chang Ming.

When he learned that Li Yuanlang was being detained by the Yunshui City Discipline Inspection Commission, he immediately called his uncle Chang Dongfang to ask for advice, hoping to help Li Yuanlang get out of his predicament.

Unexpectedly, Chang Dongfang did not support this and told Chang Ming not to do anything and just wait and see what happens.

Chang Ming didn't understand what he meant. Chang Dongfang analyzed: "You are the director of the county government office. OK, even if you can recruit your father-in-law Ye tomorrow, he is just the political commissar of the provincial military division. Compared with Shui Qingzhang, he is still It's a big difference. Shui Qingzhang doesn't care, what are you thinking about?"

"In addition, I think what happened to Li Yuanlang this time is strange and there are too many loopholes. If you think about it, as long as a little investigation is carried out, it is simply untenable for him to report a private vendetta. There must be deep reasons why he is being held on to."

Chang Ming listened to his uncle's analysis and felt it was very reasonable. He couldn't help but secretly admire his uncle's cleverness.

Even if Lu Dingfang presided over the county government party group meeting and suspended Wang Zhongqiu, Chang Ming voted against it, which was just to declare an attitude that he was a member of Li Yuanlang's side.

Talking to Wang Zhongqiu is just a formality.

He always believed that Li Yuanlang would come back sooner or later, unscathed and upright as before.

Facts confirmed that his judgment was accurate, and Chang Ming felt that he had matured a lot instantly.

Therefore, when I saw Li Yuanlang, I was more excited that I had become smarter without knowing it.

After talking to Li Yuanlang, Li Yuanlang asked when his wedding was scheduled.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Li Yuanlang was not sure. After all, Shui Tingyue was pregnant, and he couldn't say what the arrangements would be during the Spring Festival. He could only verbally say that he would try his best.

Originally, Li Yuanlang planned to take Chang Ming to the banquet in the evening, but Chang Ming wanted to video chat with his wife, which was a required course every night.

The young couple is planning to have a child, and Chang Ming is in the process of quitting smoking and drinking. If Ye Wenqi finds out, she will have to make trouble with him.

Think about it and forget it.

One afternoon, Li Yuanlang turned out to be a receptionist and didn't do much serious work.

Time flew by quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.

After answering Song Yuntao's call, he left the county government building on foot, walked for a few minutes and boarded a black car parked on the roadside.

He walked in with one leg and sat down next to Song Yuntao.

Song Yuntao patted the back of the driver's seat and ordered: "Lao Lu, let's drive."

Lao Lu?

Li Yuanlang was stunned and saw through the rearview mirror that the driver was Lu Feng.

"Minister Lu, are you working as a chauffeur in your spare time?" Li Yuanlang joked.

Lu Feng sighed and said, "No way. Like Yuntao, I didn't join Lei Zhen's small group, so I couldn't get any dividends, and my salary wasn't enough, so I had to do a side job to earn some private money."

Hearing that his tone was almost the same as Song Yuntao's, Li Yuanlang guessed the secret behind it.

"Hey, let's talk about the serious topic. Didn't Shen Aijun or Lei Zhen recruit you to join the gang?"

Song Yuntao sighed, "In Yuen Long, when Shen Aijun was in office, he had a bad relationship with Secretary Pan. One secretary and the other county magistrate were tit for tat. It was easy to form two camps."

Li Yuanlang suddenly realized, "So, you and Lao Lu are both from Secretary Pan's side."

Song Yuntao nodded firmly, "Secretary Pan has similar ideas to ours. Shen Aijun likes to run small groups. Lu Dingfang, Xing Dong, and Li Benqing are his regular customers. Who would have thought that they are actually doing illegal activities secretly."

Li Yuanlang became very interested when this topic was brought up, so he asked again: "Did Lei Zhen also have close contacts with Shen Aijun at that time?"

Lu Feng took it and shook his head and replied: "No, no, Lei Zhen was the deputy secretary of the county party committee at the time, and he had a good relationship with Tang Pu of Zhu Ningshan. At that time, there were basically four groups of leaders in Daiding County, one was Secretary Pan, and the other was Shen Aijun.

, Lei Zhen is one, and then there are the fence-sitters who are not affiliated with anyone."

"Sitting on the fence?" Li Yuanlang understood that being on the fence refers to being indecisive or acting according to the wind, drifting wherever the wind is strong.

Song Yuntao nodded, "The fence-sitting faction is mainly on the side of the county government. You like Zhong Kang, Zhang Zhongqiang and Yang Mei, they are typical representatives. However, these three people are also different. Zhong Kang is old and cunning, and belongs to the wall. Zhang Zhongqiang is more

Be upright, have your own ideas, and not be attached to anyone. Yangmei...how should I put it, men can't understand a woman's mind."

When Li Yuanlang mentioned Yangmei, he asked her if she had handed over the four gold bars?

"Well, she came to see me in the afternoon, and I have gone through the procedures. Currently, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection has no evidence that she violated laws and disciplines. Besides, she is not in Lei Zhen's group. I guess her matter is not big, at most a little minor.

I am greedy and afraid of getting into trouble, so I am very torn. So I say that a woman’s heart is as deep as the bottom of the sea and cannot be understood.”

While Song Yuntao was talking, Lu Feng had already driven into a compound on the outskirts of the county.

This is a restaurant owned by Lu Feng's relatives, the same place where Han Mingguo brought him last time.

The three of them came directly from the backyard to avoid being seen by outsiders.

Passing through the corridor, this time it is still private room No. 1.

After sitting down, Lu Feng went out to arrange the food and drinks, and Li Yuanlang and Song Yuntao were the only two people left in the room.

Li Yuanlang gave Song Yuntao a cigarette. After lighting it, he said: "Yuntao, do you still remember the double act we performed right here, with me still in this seat?"

Song Yuntao narrowed his eyes and said, "I was really nervous. I was afraid that you wouldn't notice, so I kept tapping my fingers on the table to give you a hint."

Li Yuanlang said leisurely: "Actually, I didn't notice it at first. It wasn't until you came in and I saw your outfit that my eyes suddenly lit up and I realized there was a problem."
