Excellent little farmer

Xiao Yong shook his head and said: "That's not true, otherwise Secretary Li would have called you a long time ago. The last time we investigated the rich man, you, Secretary Cai, were the head of the task force. You were always uncomfortable because he was not investigated. Everyone knows this."

Cai Wenjie smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "It's a failure, that is, the boss can compete with the old monkey. None of us are his opponents. We have already seen the light, so we broke it off. It's clean." His neatness is really admirable. Even if the old monkey is not the deputy governor and works in the public prosecutor's office, he is still a good hand. I didn't handle the case last time, so I knew I would be transferred. Sure enough, his old monkey's mind is still narrow-minded. , there is no room for people.”

Li Guoyong snorted, took out a card, and played it out without looking at it. He shook his head and said, "What's the use of being able to do something? I can't wipe my butt clean."

Cai Wenjie frowned, glanced at Li Guoyong, and asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Mingbo also held down a card at this time, turned to look at Li Guoyong, and asked tentatively: "Secretary Li, what, is there something new?"

Li Guoyong looked down at the mahjong in front of him and fiddled with it. He felt a headache. He pointed at Xiao Yong and said impatiently: "Ask Xiao Yong, he knows."

Xiao Yong smiled and said softly: "They played a little big this time. A few days ago, Fan Minzhe sent 30 policemen to the capital and arrested 45 petitioners. The impact was very bad, and it has already gone viral. Internal reference, the boss is very unhappy. The old monkey probably has nothing serious to do. A pat on the butt can shirk the responsibility. Fan Minzhe will take the blame this time, and he may have to move his place."

After hearing this, Cai Wenjie didn't say anything special. He just smiled lightly, nodded slightly and said, "That's best. He went a little too far this time."

Zhang Mingbo opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Under the emperor's feet, police from other provinces went to arrest people without permission. It is really bold. This is a big taboo. How could Fan Minzhe be so careless?"

Xiao Yong looked up at the opposite side and hesitated: "How do I know? He is always cautious in doing things. This time, something is indeed strange."

Li Guoyong snorted, stretched out two fingers behind him, shook them, and said politely: "Smoke!"

I sighed secretly and handed him a red panda.

Li Guoyong touched the lighter, lit the cigarette and took a puff. He clicked his lips and thought it tasted good. He looked down at the brand, snorted, and turned around and said, "Why do you always smoke so well? Corruption. I'll talk to you later." Settle accounts.”

I chuckled, waved my hand slightly and said, "This is a gift from Magistrate Yaowen of the county government. There are only two in total. Don't worry about it."

Li Guoyong frowned and took a few puffs of cigarette. He changed the subject and continued the previous topic: "It's not surprising. When the old monkey left Yuzhou, he left Fan Minzhe in this important position just to look after his home and nursing home. Anyone who wants to come here to touch gutter oil must first go through the hurdle of Fan Minzhe. The matter of arresting people and interviewing people would not be a big deal at first. In many places, arrests are made secretly, but I heard that when people are arrested, people are arrested. I found out the misunderstanding and beat up the plainclothes people in Beijing, which made the matter bigger, but Xiao Yong, don’t be too happy too early, even if Fan Minzhe is transferred, you won’t have the chance to rectify it.”

Xiao Yong smiled nonchalantly, waved his hand and said: "I understand this, but it is something worth celebrating that he can leave. I will be the host at that time, and invite everyone to gather together and celebrate."

Cai Wenjie sighed thoughtfully and said with emotion: "There is no point anymore. The game of chess has been played. We are now spectators. It doesn't matter to us who wins or loses."

I sat next to them and didn't interrupt. I just listened quietly. At this time, I couldn't help but interrupt: "They care so much about these petitioners. There must be something fishy inside. They should be investigated."

Li Guoyong looked back at me and explained with a cold expression: "It doesn't matter if there are tricks or not. The most important thing is that Jiangzhou needs the old monkey. Secretary Ji wants to protect him because he wants to use his power to contain Sniper Hao." ' and 'Li', 'Hao' is from the Wu clan, and 'Li' is from the He clan. People from these two families have strong political resources behind them. No matter who gains power, they will threaten Secretary Ji's position. It will also affect higher levels, which involves many complex games."

I nodded lightly, took out a cigarette and lit it, frowned and took a puff, but said nothing as I listened to Li Guoyong continue: "Among the local factions in Jiangzhou, the factions in Yuzhou, the provincial capital, are the most powerful. Among them, the old monkey and the boss are two flags, both of which are the strength that Secretary Ji of the Provincial Party Committee wants to use. Originally, Secretary Ji had tacitly approved of some of the boss's actions, including important personnel arrangements in powerful departments such as the Public Security Bureau, Procuratorate, and Judiciary. Without Secretary Ji's nod, That was definitely impossible, but unfortunately, the boss did not follow his lead, but followed Li Hongjun. Secretary Ji was completely angered. After several trials, he had no way to convince the boss, so he had to He was transferred."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued what Li Guoyong said: "So, for a long time, the old monkey will be fine. The reason is very simple. If Secretary Ji can't even protect the old monkey, then he is too passive and very It is easy to be checked and balanced by Hao and Li, so it is not easy to control the situation in Jiangzhou."

Li Guoyong nodded, then shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. Leaders at that level have a high degree of political wisdom, and their hearts are as big as the ocean. It's hard to fathom, but the basic truth is this. Official games are sometimes like playing mahjong. Only the winner can stay at the gambling table and continue playing. If anyone loses all his chips, he must be out and give up his position.

And which faction has more important figures eliminated, then that faction will lose the qualification to participate in the game. In this sense, from the central to the local governments, everyone is playing mahjong. The principle is the same. Eat well and get stuck. , keep an eye on the opponent, and gain enough political capital to avoid being kicked out. "

I nodded intently and suddenly reminded: "Secretary Li, you are going to be out."

Li Guoyong snorted, typed out three lines, and said in surprise: "What are you talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mingbo and Cai Wenjie pushed down the cards at the same time and said in unison: "What a nonsense!"

Although Li Guoyong did not lose all his chips, he still gave up his seat, left the mahjong table, sat on the sofa, drank tea and read the newspaper. After a few minutes, he turned on the TV again and watched an interview broadcast on the provincial station. program, after watching the program, he walked to the card table with his hands behind his back, turned around with a serious face, and watched the four people playing cards on the table.

I was called on as a substitute and lived up to my high expectations. After the last round of mahjong was played and the money was counted, it was Li Guoyong who won the most.

Zhang Mingbo's luck became so bad that he poured out a lot of money. He pushed the mahjong in front of him with an annoyed look, lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled a faint smoke from his mouth, and touched the shiny oil. Hair, half joking and half serious: "Secretary Guoyong, it seems that the content in the report letter is not necessarily false. You should check Secretary Ye carefully. He is good at playing mahjong."

Li Guoyong snorted and said angrily: "Do you still need to remind me? I have checked it long ago. There are no major problems, but there are many minor problems. Overall, I am still a good cadre and can stand the test."

Cai Wenjie smiled beside him, glanced at me meaningfully, turned around and said, "Secretary Li, you are still great. With talents in hand, there will always be a chance for a comeback."

Li Guoyong sighed and said vaguely: "It's not easy to turn over. There is no leader. How can we turn over? It's better to hide one's capabilities and bide one's time. Now we can only look at the boss's situation."

Xiao Yong pulled out his chair and stood up, put his jacket on his body, and asked next to him: "Secretary Li, how is the current situation with the boss?"

Li Guoyong smiled faintly and said softly: "My boss has come to Beijing. Do you know who you saw?"

Except for me who knew it well and remained calm, the other three shook their heads and looked at Li Guoyong with expectant eyes, hoping that he would bring good news.

Li Guoyong snorted and lowered his voice: "It's Mr. Wang, and Secretary Wang Zefeng."

This news was very exciting. After hearing this, the three of them had a hint of excitement on their faces. For everyone present, Zhou Mingfeng's political life was closely connected with their career and destiny. This is the common characteristic of the factions. When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.

My eyes swept across the faces of the three people, and finally landed on Li Guoyong's face, but I saw that his expression was as usual. Judging from his expression alone, I couldn't tell whether he understood his true identity.

However, from the perspective of a well-connected political veteran like Zhou Mingfeng, it is unlikely that he would make the matter known to everyone. That would be counterproductive and would cause a lot of inconvenience to himself.

After the game ended, everyone went downstairs, ordered wine and food in the private room, and sat at the table to eat and chat. Li Guoyong always called me a few words intentionally or unintentionally during the chat, which benefited me a lot.
