Sure enough, it was Xu Xiping who spoke first.

"Xiao Xiang, that day at my brother's house on Wufu Street, I was with Lao Yu and Lao Hong. Did you see it?"

Xiang Tianliang quickly bowed his hands and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, not only did I see it, I also heard it." He smiled.

Xu Xiping asked: "Have you ever heard of a relationship like the three of us?"

He shook his head and said to Tianliang: "In public, you compete with me and don't interact with each other, but secretly you coexist and prosper each other. They are better than brothers. This is simply unheard of." With a glance, "Don't talk about Xiao Xiang, even me, my wife, We are all kept in the dark, Meilan, do you know?"

Chen Meilan smiled and shook her head, "I don't know either, so that day, when Xiao Xiang and I saw the three of them walking towards Wufu Street, we supported Xiao Xiang to go in and have a look. If I could crawl in, I would definitely go in too."

As she spoke, Chen Meilan put her foot on Xiang Tianliang's instep again, and stepped on it hard.

Xiang Tianliang felt happy in his heart. A smart woman, she had cleaned herself first. She was enjoying herself while eavesdropping and "doing" things that day, and she had to say that she was extremely chaste.

Unexpectedly, the subtle changes in expressions between Xiang Tianliang and Chen Meilan were noticed by Zhang Xiaoya on the other side.

Women are all sensitive animals, not to mention Zhang Xiaoya is no ordinary person, she still came with her "heart" today.

Zhang Xiaoya's heart moved. She knew that Liu Qingqing and Xiang Tianliang had been together for a long time. It was not surprising that they had a sister and a brother, a man and a widow, sleeping in the same bed when they were exposed to fire.

I didn't expect that Chen Meilan and Xiang Tianliang are also famous. Is this young man really so rare?

It turns out that the reason why Zhang Xiaoya was able to observe the little moves between Xiang Tianliang and Chen Meilan was all because of their seats.

This kind of short square table unique to Qinghe can seat eight people on all sides. Today’s guest is Xiang Tianliang. Of course, he is given the chief seat, facing the box door. On the left is Liu Qingqing as his companion, and on the right is a pair of Chen Meilan and Xu Xiping, Chen Meilan happened to be right next to Xiang Tianliang. The couple sat on the other side, the man facing each other, the woman facing each other. Zhang Xiaoya sat next to Liu Qingqing.

If Chen Meilan made small movements with her right foot, she was afraid of being noticed by Xu Xilai on the right, so she used her left foot, which was closer to Xiang Tianliang and more convenient. Besides, Liu Qingqing knew about her and Xiang Tianliang and was not afraid that she would see or Jealous.

But she happened to ignore the other pair of eyes. Zhang Xiaoya had a panoramic view of the little moves between her and Xiang Tianliang. She said: "Xiao Xiang, you don't know something. All the leaders of the municipal party committee are very afraid of our local cadres in Qinghe. It can be said that After they took office, their top priority was to prevent, disrupt and suppress local cadres. Therefore, it was not easy for them to be leaders and outside cadres, and it was not easy for our local cadres to mix. Over the years, Lao Hong, Lao Xu We think our abilities and achievements are not bad, but in general, except for Lao Xu, Lao Hong and I are the ones who have been suppressed. If it were more fair and just, our positions might be higher than now... maybe , it is precisely for self-protection that the three of us came up with such a bad idea to form an iron triangle. We usually do not interact with each other, and there will be some minor frictions. However, once anyone is in trouble, the other two must provide unconditional support... …This is how we got here for almost ten years.”

Xiang Tianliang asked curiously: "Brother Yu, no one else has noticed it for so many years?"

Liu Qingqing smiled, "It's dawn, you still don't know the grudges between their parents."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it," Xiang Tianliang said.

Xu Xiping said with a smile: "Sister Qingqing is right. The fathers of the three families of Hong Yu and Xu were all underground party members before the founding of the People's Republic of China. They have the same seniority and the same credit. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the three people have the same level. But there have been conflicts and deep grievances since before joining the revolution. After liberation, the three old guys have not had the slightest contact with each other." He nodded and said: "It is a real conflict, it is genuine, and everyone in Qinghe knows it, so the three of us know it. Our private dealings have not aroused suspicion from others so far. Whenever we cooperate, we will immediately deliberately create friction, so of course others will not suspect us."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "You have worked so hard and cooperated with Miao Dian, and even Sister Zhang and Sister Chen don't know about it. It's really amazing."

After waving his hand, Xu Xiping smiled and said: "Why don't you, my brother, find out what you have to do to cooperate with Miao Dian?" He asked, "Xiao Xiang, the three of us meet several times a year without anyone noticing. How did you find us?"

Xiang Tianliang looked at Chen Meilan, smiled and said, "Let Sister Chen speak."

Chen Meilan said: "A group of us spent one night at Qingqing's sister's house to calculate the accounts of the Municipal No. 3 Construction Company regarding the Municipal No. 1 Middle School teaching building. After dawn, I accompanied Xiao Xiang to prepare the results and submit them to the Municipal Party Committee. To Secretary Liu, we didn’t expect that as soon as we arrived near the municipal party committee and the city hall, we saw Vice Mayor Hong coming out of the back door of the city hall and hailing a taxi instead of his own car. We were curious and suspicious, so we followed him. , and followed him all the way to Wufu Street, only then did he realize that it was the three of you who met there." He and Xu Xiping looked at each other, and they both thought that this Hong Chenghu was too cautious. He asked: "Xiao Xiang, are we There is something I want to ask you."

"Oh? Brother Yu, please tell me."

Xu Xiping said: "If it's inconvenient, don't force it."

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "There's nothing hard to say, as long as everyone understands it after listening to it."

Zhang Xiaoya said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Xiaoxiang, we won't tell anyone." She asked in a low voice: "Hong Chenghu, has something happened to him?"

As soon as these words came out, all eyes were focused on Xiang Tianliang.

Xiang Tianliang smiled and said: "Well... I would like to ask Brother Yu and Brother Xu first, apart from political cooperation, do you and Hong Chenghu have any other dealings, such as economic ones?" He smiled and said: "Old Xu, I have to thank you for your foresight. When Hong Chenghu proposed that the three of us work together privately to make some money on some projects, I was still a little tempted at the time. It was your firm opposition that prevented the three of us from really getting together."

Xiang Tianliang asked: "If something happens to Hong Chenghu, can the two of you be completely separated from him without being implicated in any way?" He nodded.

Xu Xiping also smiled and nodded, "We have already taken precautions against this step."

Xiangtian lit up a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then said slowly: "He Xu Xiping's face changed drastically."

"Yes, confirmed?" Xu Xiping lost his voice.

He nodded heavily to Tianliang.

Startled.

Xiang Tianliang nodded again, his voice even lower.

Listening to Xu Xiping, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Zhang Xiaoya asked: "What exactly did he commit?"

Xiang Tianliang did not hide anything and told everything he knew.

"... Just like that, I was shirtless, and together with Director Guo and Xiao Jiannan, I handed the evidence to Liu Ji. I called Liu Ji on the spot and reported to the provincial party committee. This morning, I notified Hong Chenghu to go to the Ministry of Construction for a meeting, which was also the provincial public security department. According to the plan set up by Director Jiang, Hong Chenghu and his party were detained by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection task force as soon as they entered Zhongyang City." He said: "So, there will be another big turmoil in Qinghe City." and Xu Xiping. Looking at each other.

Chen Meilan asked: "Xiaoxiang, why did you make plans so early?"

"hehe……"

Xiang Tianliang smiled, raised his tea cup, and took several sips. He said, "That's right, Xiao Xiang, just say it."

Xiang Tianliang pretended to hesitate.

At this time, Chen Meilan started to move her feet again, and this time it got a little worse. Not only did her feet step on Xiang Tianliang's instep, but she also stretched her hands on Xiang Tianliang's knees.

Unexpectedly, Chen Meilan's little move was seen by Liu Qingqing on the other side. She smiled inwardly and used all her hands and feet to help Xiang Tianliang and began to attack from both sides.

The actions of Liu Qingqing and Chen Meilan were noticed by Zhang Xiaoya.

She took a quick look and immediately spotted Xiang Tianliang's huge tent, and her face immediately turned red.

How could Xiang Tianliang not know that Chen Meilan was begging him to help her husband, and Liu Qingqing must have been persuaded by Chen Meilan, so there was a "pincer attack" from both sides.

"Brother Yu, Brother Xu, next, Secretary Liu will definitely attack the local cadres, so you should make plans in advance."

"What's your plan?" Xu Xiping asked.

Xiang Tianliang said: "It's just a matter of taking sides. Secretary Liu, Mayor Gao and Deputy Secretary Fang, the troika, you have to choose one?" He nodded, "Xiao Xiang, you are right."

Xu Xiping looked at Xiang Tianliang and said, "Xiao Xiang, we invited you here today, and that's exactly what we meant."

Xiang Tianliang smiled slightly and said happily, if we build a new iron triangle, things would be easier to handle. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't bother to come and drink tea.

Just as he was about to speak, the big brother beside him rang.

The call was from Chang Jiang Yunlong, director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Putting down the phone, Xiang Tianliang smiled and said:
Chapter completed!
