The three hundred and fifty-eighth chapter [Fengjiang officials]
"It's you!"
The weather was sunny today. When I stood on Xiaokong Mountain and looked around, I could see a blue sky without even a trace of cloud. In Sanin Province, where wind and sand blow all year round, there are not many such good weather. But after seeing this person clearly , Qiu Zhonghou's mood immediately turned from sunny to cloudy, and he secretly screamed, "There really is someone in this small temple on a barren mountain that he can't afford to offend!"
"Secretary Liao..."
Hu Wannian suppressed the secret joy in his heart and secretly glanced at Qiu Zhonghou. He said in his heart, old enemy, old enemy, I will let you be arrogant, I will let you represent the 'government'... Are monks easy to mess with? Since ancient times, All great virtuous and eminent monks make friends with powerful people, and it seems that Master Mingwei is the same. Does it feel good to be hit by an iron plate?
The man who walked out of the Zen room had a gloomy face. He was a great monk from the Provincial Secretariat. Moreover, this monk was an ancestor who ate meat. If these words were spread, it would not sound very good, so he had been holding back just now. It turned out that Qiu Zhonghou was too presumptuous and had offended Master Mingwei, who was like a living immortal Buddha in his heart. He stepped forward, but he didn't want to meet Zhou Yi.
Seeing Zhou Yi, Secretary Liao immediately put on a friendly smile, but without even looking at Qiu Zhonghou and Hu Wannian, he hurriedly walked up to him and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, what kind of wind is blowing you to Shanyin?" Did you save it? Hahaha..."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Qiu Zhonghou felt his heart beat suddenly, and stars flashed in front of his eyes. It was over! It was completely over!
Who is Secretary Liao? He is the top leader in Shanyin Province, his immediate boss’s immediate boss! How did he come to this small temple? And he didn’t even bring a bodyguard, and he didn’t even see his car. He was incognito. Private interviews are not like this...
Qiu Zhonghou wanted to cry. What really made him feel sad was not seeing Liao Ji's attitude towards Zhou Yi in this small temple. It was so polite... and there was a little humility in the politeness. ....
"You are?"
Zhou Yi could naturally see that the "distinguished guest" mentioned by Master Mingwei was anything but ordinary, and when he heard Hu Wannian call him "secretary," he had vaguely guessed the identity of this person, but he did not know him.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou doesn't know me. I know you are such a famous figure..."
Liao laughed and shook hands with Zhou Yi very affectionately, as if he was holding his daughter's beautiful hand and was reluctant to let go: "I went to Kyoto a few days ago and met Mr. Tang and Mr. Bao. I was still with Mr. Bao. I have seen photos of Mr. Zhou, a contemporary young hero, there... Oh, Liao has been in love with Mr. Zhou for a long time. It's a pity that he is busy with official duties. He didn't have the opportunity to make a special trip to Yunshuishan to visit, but he didn't expect to be here. I meet you, isn’t this fate?”
As he spoke, he leaned close to Zhou Yi's ear and lowered his voice: "Mr. Zhou, I drank your 'General and Prime Minister's' and 'Alluring Water' at Erye Bao's place. Good wine, good wine, we Shanyin Although there are also famous wines produced, they are far inferior to your private wines..."
Zhou Yi understood clearly that this 'secretary' who could meet Tang Gong was obviously a feudal official in Shanyin Province. It turned out that he had seen his photo in Tang Bao's place and drank wine. No wonder He will be so enthusiastic.
"Vice Mayor Qiu, Director Hu, what are you and Mr. Zhou doing here?"
After being intimate with Zhou Yi for a while, Secretary Liao finally remembered to ask Qiu Zhonghou and others. This time when facing his subordinates, the majesty of the feudal official was truly revealed. His face was as cold as water, and his tone was so calm that it made people's hearts beat.
"I am...I am..."
Qiu Zhonghou was thunderstruck at this moment, his bones were weak and his tendons were weak. Who was this Zhou Yi? There was only one person in the entire Huaxia Kingdom who could make Secretary Liao respectfully address him as Duke of Tang... And he listened to the secretary
Meaning, Zhou Yi is actually related to Tang Gong! Look at the secretary's attitude towards Zhou Yi. Qiu Zhonghou had the urge to die: "It's a case... It's not right, it's okay now..."
Secretary Liao snorted coldly: "What case is it? Are you okay or not? Speak clearly!"
His secret visit to Monk Mingwei this time was about something that should not be reported to anyone. Unexpectedly, he was disturbed by Qiu Zhonghou. He was not happy at all. He also heard that there were no cases. Based on the experience of a provincial official, he immediately thought of
This matter may be related to Zhouyi.
Who is Zhou Yi? According to Mr. Bao, he is not only a great benefactor of the Tang family, but also his good friend. He also has a very close relationship with Mr. Li, the richest man in China.
The financial connections behind Zhou Yi made him, a provincial official, even more moved, and even tried every means to curry favor with him; compared with Zhou Yi, sacrificing a deputy mayor and public security director was really cost-effective.
"Secretary Liao. This is what happened..."
Hu Wannian knew that the opportunity had come, and hurriedly explained the matter in detail. While adding insult to injury, he naturally did not forget to exaggerate the achievements of himself and his nephew Hu Niu. In his mouth, Qiu Zhonghou seemed to have ignored the facts and abused his power.
He almost wronged Zhou Yi, but he and his nephew adhered to their principles and withstood the pressure at the critical moment, so that "Mr. Zhou" did not suffer injustice. They were two great contributors. Anyway, Qiu Zhonghou was already in chaos at this moment.
, and did not bother to argue.
"So that's it, Director Hu, you did a great job..."
Secretary Liao glanced at Qiu Zhonghou indifferently: "Vice Mayor Qiu, do you mean to ask Master Mingwei to taste the brine to determine the basic evidence for this case?"
This is the wisdom of officialdom. This case has a victim and has entered the judicial process. Although Qiu Zhonghou has offended someone who should not be offended, even if Zhou Yi is broad-minded and does not care about him, Secretary Liao will never let this troublemaker go easily.
Subordinate. But now he cannot, as secretary, announce the suspension of handling the case and implement the facts.
"Secretary Liao, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding... I think the handling of the case should be temporarily suspended, and then the Dayuan City Public Security Bureau will continue to collect evidence. We cannot let a bad person go, let alone unjustly accuse a good person.
....."
By this time, Qiu Zhonghou already knew that Zhou Yi and his son would definitely not be the ones who stole the brine. The person who had an unusual relationship with Tang Gong and made Secretary Liao want to make friends would be a thief? Isn't this nonsense! While the conflict is still there,
There is no further escalation, so it is better to get out of the way as soon as possible. As for this case, let Hu Wannian's uncle and nephew deal with the headache. What the hell does it have to do with him, the deputy mayor in charge of political and legal affairs?
"Misunderstanding? Didn't you just ask Master Mingwei to help solve the case? It became a misunderstanding so quickly?"
Secretary Liao sneered. He felt that he should find someone to kill him so that "Mr. Zhou" could give an explanation.
"This... is actually a change in the mind of the person involved. Mr. Zhou, is that true?" Qiu Zhonghou turned his head and winked at the Zhou family.
"Ah, yes, yes... Secretary Liao, Zhou Yi is also my grandnephew, we are a family. Previously, because the brine passed down by our ancestors was stolen, the old man was so angry that he suspected his father and son. .Now think about it, Youdao is like 'blood is thicker than water', we are all one family, why bother going to this point? So our Zhou family wants to withdraw the lawsuit, we must withdraw it!"
"That's right, Secretary Liao, Zhou Yi is still my brother, how could we wrongly accuse him? I was confused before, but now I really regret it..."
"Yes, we won't sue Uncle Yi."
The Zhou family are not fools either. Seeing Secretary Liao's attitude towards Zhou Yi, Zhou Tianqing and the others are almost filled with regret. Now they are only thinking about how to restore the relationship with Zhou Yi and his son. What else is there to say about making bittern or not?
"Mr. Zhou, look..."
"Haha, Secretary Liao, please call me Xiao Zhou."
Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head and said: "This case has been filed as a criminal case. I'm afraid it can't be withdrawn just by withdrawing the lawsuit, right? What's more, our father and son also need to restore their reputations and need an explanation, so we still have to trouble Master Mingwei."
After hearing Zhou Yi's words, the hearts of the Zhou family and Qiu Zhonghou sank. It was obvious that Zhou Yi was unwilling to give up. Even if they wanted to settle the matter, Zhou Yi would not agree!
"Amitabha, it turns out that this is a case about the Zhou family's Laolu... I am not talented, but I really appreciate the pig head meat produced by the Zhou family's Laolu. I have made this judgment!" An old man slowly walked out of the meditation room. Monk.
According to the voice, Master Mingwei is at least sixty years old, but his face is like that of a man in his forties. Although he is bald, his eyebrows and beard are as black as ink; the most surprising thing is that this monk has a white hair and a white head. He has a fat face but a very thin body, just like a big pumpkin picked on a bamboo pole, which completely subverts human aesthetics.
The monk was also very beautifully dressed, wearing a brocade cassock, and the rosary beads hanging around his neck were all Hetian white jade, priced by the gram, and each one was as round as a long eye. Zhou Yi was secretly speechless when he saw it, knowing that just this rosary bead would probably cost him a fortune. Worth millions, is this monk really rich? If he changed into secular clothes, he would be a nouveau riche.
Master Mingwu took a pig's trotter in one hand and a wine pot in the other. He ate a mouthful of meat and drank a sip of wine. He walked up to Zhou Yi and others with drunken eyes and squinted his eyes to scan the crowd. When he arrived at Zhou Yi's place, the monk first He squinted his eyes and then suddenly opened them. His eyes were filled with divine light, like a magic stick: "Young man, are you destined?"
"It's fate, the master is so charming, and he is indeed no ordinary person."
Zhou Yi felt that this monk was indeed not a vulgar person, but a vulgar person. I don’t know if he was a lustful person, but he was a fair-weather monk for sure. And it was exactly what Guo Yueguang said. , cheating people or cheating people?
"Amitabha, each other. Young man, I know your story, but let's not talk about ancient times today. Let's help you solve this case first..."
Monk Mingwei smiled and said, "Bring the brine from both families, let me taste it first."
