Mountains of swords and seas of fire

In the end Li Miao told Xi'er the truth, and her daughter looked up and laughed.Li Miao was so frightened that she thought her daughter was being stimulated to go crazy.As a result, Xi'er said in the next sentence that she lost Li Miao.

"Dad, I've seen it for a long time! Brother Pengfei told me when he came to live in our house. I didn't believe it at first. It turned out to be true! Have we been together all this time?!"

"You don't mind Daddy being with a guy?"

"Our physical education teacher also has a boyfriend!"

Li Miao immediately felt that he was too outdated. Now that he is clamoring that the post-90s are Martians, he thinks his daughter is probably from Pluto.

"Uncle Zhou is a nice guy, but he is always so serious. Dad, are you afraid of him?"

"No, he's afraid of Dad."

"That's good! Then stay with Uncle Zhou. Although I always want you to reconcile with your mother, I don't know everything. You will never forgive your mother for giving birth to a child behind your back, will you?" ?”

Li Miao nodded.

"After that, can I still go out to eat with my mother often?"

"No problem, it's just that you belong to Dad, do you know that?"

Xi'er nodded, and asked again, "Father, why don't you and Uncle Zhou live together?"

"Uncle Zhou lives in his own home."

"Oh! I see! Does he still have a wife? Is Brother Pengfei's mother!"

Li Miao nodded in embarrassment, he really couldn't do anything about the children nowadays.

"Then when did he live with you?"

"After Taiwan returns to the motherland..."

Xi'er was shocked by her father's answer, and then sighed along with her father.But if someone as stupid as her father can find someone she likes, she will definitely support her.It's just a pity that Mom and Dad will never be able to go back to the past.

After Zhou Zhiqin heard about this from Li Miao, he suddenly began to worry whether it would be a good decision for Xi'er to be taken care of by Pengfei after going to Beijing.

Despite this worry, Li Miao and Tan Liyun have already lost their conversation, and he is very happy to have returned to the relationship of old age and death.

From Li Miao's point of view, Zhou Zhiqin really wanted to leave here and become an official at the headquarters.In fact, it is not the case. The post-disaster reconstruction has gained a lot of people.No matter what projects this group of people do, it will involve the use of electricity, so it is inevitable to seek Zhou Zhiqin's name.He also collected some filial piety.Not to mention Zhou Zhiqin, even Li Miao had a good time.The infrastructure in the bureau is a big piece of fat, not to mention the countless projects outside.

Probably because of this earthquake, Li Miao's life really went to another world.

Although he had made money before, it came and went quickly, and it cost more than half of it just to manage a few bureau leaders.Later, he bought shops and houses. Before the earthquake, Li Miao had no savings. The only money he had was invested in the stock market, which later became waste paper.Seeing that more than 6000 points entered, it has now fallen by half.

But as soon as the spring breeze of post-disaster reconstruction came, he immediately turned himself into a multi-millionaire.

Under Zhou Zhiqin's guidance, Li Miao also traveled to various places in Hong Kong and the United States, saw the world, opened an account by the way, and saved money.

In short, he has seen and manipulated corrupt officials.

It can be said that he has almost become Zhou Zhiqin five years ago, playing tricks, reaching out for money, and protecting each other with officials.

Under the leadership of Zhou Zhiqin, Li Miao really "grew up", became "sensible", and learned a lot.

Courage is getting fatter day by day.

It used to be that everyone in the bureau dared to call Li Miao "handsome guy", but now they are respectful and don't dare to neglect, they all know that Li Miao can kill people with the corner of his clothes.

Zhou Zhiqin often educated Li Miao that your insistence that one man should be in charge of others and one man should not be open to others would not work. You must have food to live in order to live in peace.

Of course, the power that Zhou Zhiqin gave Li Miao today is unimaginable to outsiders.It can be said that without Zhou Zhiqin, there would be no Li Miao today.

Secretary Yang has reached the age of retiring from the second line, and became a researcher in April.

Soon after that, in August, it was rumored that Tang Jian was about to be transferred.This made Zhou Zhiqin alert.

In the past two years, he and Tang Jian have never violated each other. Although there is no conflict, no friendship has been established.

In fact, Tang Jian has held back for more than two years. He watched Tian Xiaoyan's transfer and Zhou Zhiqin's immediate appointment.It's not that he doesn't know who the instigator of that incident was.And in the past two years, he has also seen clearly that Zhou Zhiqin must have some trouble with Li Miao. Zhou Zhiqin protects Li Miao in everything, and Li Miao has become the number one favorite. The sleeves are all over.Tang Jian knew that Zhou Zhiqin was very powerful, and Li Miao did all these tricky things, so he didn't touch the water at all, but he actually suffered a lot.He endured it until the relationship was cleared, and he didn't show the slightest expression to Zhou Zhiqin. He even respected Li Miao three points and gave up five points.

When Zhou Zhiqin confirmed that Tang Jian would be transferred to Province Y as the top leader, he had been a little worried.

This restless feeling soon disappeared.

Seeing Zhou Zhiqin's reaction, Li Miao thought that Zhou Zhiqin had some reason to be caught by Tang Jian. He didn't realize it at all—he himself was Zhou Zhiqin's biggest reason.The eyes of outsiders are good.

Li Miao is not the only one who has gained weight after the disaster reconstruction, and not only one with darker hands than him.

Tang Jian's transfer order came down on November [-]rd, and he left on the [-]th. He made a big mess for the bureau, and then left without letting a fart go.

At the end of last year, Li Miao laughed at the "shuffling" of the local telecommunications system with his hands on his hips. Now Tang Jian has brought this disaster to the power system.

As for the relationship with the government, Zhou Zhiqin is still very strong. After all, he is a local. Although Tang Jian has been here for ten years, he is not local after all.

But they can't stand the government, the public security bureau, and the law, and they are all hungry wolves.

This reshuffle of monopoly state-owned enterprises is the second post-disaster reconstruction for them, and everyone is gearing up.

When Zhou Zhiqin got the wind, he thought of Tang Jian, a bastard, and soon confirmed his guess.Many materials are provided by Tang Jian.

As a matter of course, Zhou Zhiqin ruthlessly picked out Tang Jian's people one by one, and sent them to the disciplinary inspection department.

Soon there was a lot of noise in the bureau, and everyone was in panic. Li Miao was so frightened that she went to the financial office every day to check the accounts.I'm afraid that if there is any mistake, others will catch it first.

Zhou Zhiqin looked calm on the surface, but he knew that he was Tang Jian's target, and now he was only fighting on the periphery, and the real struggle had not yet broken out.

He didn't dare to tell Li Miao—Tang Jian would probably focus on you.

But even if Zhou Zhiqin didn't say it clearly, Li Miao soon woke up.His sad little eyes revealed a lot of negative emotions, and Zhou Zhiqin hugged him, kissing and kissing him, but he couldn't arouse the interest.

The two of them really felt a bit of a mid-life crisis.

In fact, seeing the people who were invited in but never let out, Li Miao panicked.

It's not that Zhou Zhiqin is not afraid, he has too many braids, Li Miao is not the only one of his people, if anyone puts a shit bowl on his head, he can't run away.

The two of them can only sleep for three or four hours a day. Li Miao is also getting old, and soon his skin will no longer look rosy. Zhou Zhiqin makes him stewed chicken soup and he can say that he is full after two sips.As a result, I developed stomach problems within a few days, and went to the hospital to report for three days.It was rumored in the bureau that Director Li was so frightened that his legs were weak and he was afraid of going in, so he was insane and went to the hospital.

Faced with such rumors, Li Miao could do nothing.

He could only quietly wait for the storm to pass.

Two or three people who went in pleaded their connections, and they were released without any substantive evidence.The first batch of people were released, and Li Miao also breathed a sigh of relief.

But looking at the blank eyes of those who were released, he also had the illusion of being a dead dog.

Two of Li Miao's subordinates also went in.

One of the children's wives who had been with him for a long time went to Li Miao's house, crying and begging him for a relationship with Toto, so that she could go in and give her husband a shirt.

Li Miao had no choice but to find several people but hit a wall.Zhou Zhiqin also advised him not to look for someone.

The pressure brought by the environment caused Li Miao to lose five catties all of a sudden, and now he only weighs 116 catties.

On the day Li Miao was taken away, necks stuck out from the windows of many offices in the bureau.

Some people are afraid, some people feel happy.

There is only one person who feels uncomfortable, and that is Mr. Zhou.He broke the ballpoint pen issued by the bureau.I was locked in the office all day and didn't leave until nine o'clock in the evening.

In the past, Zhou Zhiqin didn't feel afraid at all, everything was under his control.Now he dare not say whether he can keep Li Miao, let alone whether he can keep his official position and tomorrow.

He knew that if he lost everything now, it would not only mean that he might die of old age in prison or get a gun.It also means that Pengfei's bright future may be gone.

Even if he doesn't go to jail, Pengfei will have to struggle 20 years longer than when he was in office.

This is the difference.

Li Miao's second ride in a police car felt terrible.Although this time it's not a serious police car, but the procuratorate's car, he is more afraid than when he was caught playing mahjong last time. His palms are full of cold sweat, and he almost peed his pants in fright.For so many years, no matter how much Li Miao usually pretends to be two to five to eighty thousand, he still looks like this in the end.

Zhou Zhiqin must have never imagined that he almost cried before he got there.

I've only seen the "shuanggui" on TV for a while, but it's not like that at all.

Li Miao was locked in a small room, and no one cared about him at first.He was so thirsty that his lips were completely split. It was not until the second day that someone handed him bread and water.Not long after, the person who asked the question came.

At this moment, Zhou Zhiqin also used all his contacts to understand the situation inside.

He knew that this kind of investigation didn't mean that the person would be released if there was no result, and that he might never be released again, so he became more anxious within a minute.Not only was he afraid that Li Miao would not come back, but he was also afraid that he would be the next one to go in.

Li Miao only slept for a while on the first night when she went in.

He never slept again after that.It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, or that he can't sleep, but that no one allows him to sleep. The 24-hour interrogation was very gentle at first, with threats and lures. As long as he was told that Zhou Zhiqin instructed him to do it, and he could go back as long as he listed some evidence.Although Li Miao is very tired and frightened, his IQ is still there.He knew that if he spit out Zhou Zhiqin, he would not be able to leave.In the future, they can go to the execution ground together and die under the same batch of bullets.

The interrogators didn't use violence against Li Miao, they just mentally destroyed the weak man in front of them.

Asking the same question over and over again, once the answer is inconsistent, you will be caught and verbally attacked.After this group of people asked the question, the next group came again. They didn't even take notes, they just asked Li Miao simply, they didn't let Li Miao rest, and gradually paralyzed his brain.At night, Li Miao's eyes will be illuminated with a strong light of [-] watts, so that he cannot sleep for a second.

On the third day of this wheel battle, they did not allow Li Miao to go out to the bathroom.Give Li Miao a spittoon and let him urinate there in front of the interrogator.This kind of mental humiliation made Li Miao finally break down and burst into tears.

His whole body smelled sour from dried sweat, and his lower body ached from wanting to go to the bathroom.But everything in front of him made him very hopeless. He didn't know whether he should count on Zhou Zhiqin, and he didn't know how many days or hours he could survive.This way of questioning made even the iron man unable to hold back, Li Miao's mouth was full of blood.It wasn't caused by outsiders, it was his own blister, which was bitten by his own teeth, and the pus and blood flowed out.

The person staring at him finally went out to smoke a cigarette, and did not continue to embarrass Li Miao.

Because he felt that Li Miao was already "catch a turtle in the urn", and his spirit should have completely collapsed at this time, and the next "confession" should be carried out smoothly.

After urinating, Li Miao squatted down against the wall.His mind was in a mess, but at this moment he remembered a completely unimportant thing.

He remembered that he and Zhou Zhiqin had watched a movie together the year before last, but he couldn't remember what it was called, but there was a plot that he suddenly remembered.He remembered the two men in love in the story, one of them was also arrested and committed a serious economic case, and the other boy sold everything he had and gave a box of RMB to his boyfriend's brother-in-law to carry Go, beg him to go to the passage and rescue people out.

Li Miao knew that it was a movie, not real life.

In real life, it is likely that he couldn't stand the torture, and finally said everything.

Li Miao wanted to change clothes, drink a cup of hot water, and take a look at her daughter and Zhou Zhiqin.But these are all extravagant hopes for him.The people who came in picked him up from the ground, threw him on the chair roughly, and handcuffed him again.As soon as the light was turned on, the strong light hit his face again, exposing his tears in full view.

"Tell me..."

Li Miao looked at the man with asymmetric facial features and thought, how much cleaner are you fucking than me? !With this in mind, he shook his head, ready to face a new round of interrogation.

The interrogators didn't expect Li Miao to keep silent, so they asked someone to take Li Miao's chair away.

One squatted and the other sat, not to mention condescending, Li Miao's legs soon became paralyzed.But he couldn't get up.

In fact, Li Miao doesn't want to hear anyone talking at all now, he really hopes that someone will beat him up, even knocking him unconscious or killing him!

Zhou Zhiqin hadn't asked for help for a long time, although his skills were unfamiliar, but this time he spent a lot of money to get Li Miao out.

The people who came to drink left with the Yunnan snack set Zhou Zhiqin prepared for them.Everyone knows that it is stuffed with RMB, but they don't let go of their mouths.They are used to this kind of thing, if there is one, there will be two, how can they let go of the money once.So no matter how hard Zhou Zhiqin tried, he only got an official answer in the end, "This is a procedure, and people will be released after the procedure is over." But the fucking procedure is over, maybe Li Miao's soft Egg said everything.

It's not that Zhou Zhiqin doesn't trust Li Miao, but he asked two people who have been released about the situation.

In the end, under Zhou Zhiqin's heavy money, there must be a brave man.He gets visitation opportunities.

Went to Li Miao's house to pack some clothes, Xi'er pulled Zhou Zhiqin and kept asking where his father was.Zhou Zhiqin glanced at the little girl and had a flash of inspiration.

He knelt down, stroked Xi'er's beautiful and shiny short hair, and coaxed: "Dad did something wrong and was caught."

"The police station?"

"No, your grandfather caught..."

"Then I'll ask mom and grandpa to release dad!"

Zhou Zhiqin really wanted to boast that you are much smarter than your father.

Zhou Zhiqin taught Xi'er a few more words, although he was not sure whether Tan Liyun would help Li Miao, after all, there were too many things happened between the two of them, and no one knew if there was still a little "friendship".Perhaps Tan Liyun, who failed to remarry, wished that Li Miao would die inside.But at this time Zhou Zhiqin could only give it a go.

Every day in the police station, there are family members crying to me, complaining a lot.He also almost can't stretch the string.

Now he is most afraid that the phone will ring, and it will say who has gone in.

Li Miao was dragged to the sink in the bathroom. It was a beautiful woman in uniform, but at the moment Li Miao couldn't see her appearance clearly, only knew that she was a mother.

"Wash up, someone wants to see you."

Li Miao was basically disappointed with Zhou Zhiqin. When he was so scared that he couldn't urinate, he knew that Zhou Zhiqin probably tried his best and couldn't save himself.He can only rely on himself. If his lower body spends his time in prison and humiliates his daughter, he might as well die.The money in those accounts abroad can still be left to the daughter.

Zhou Zhiqin sat in the small room and waited for Li Miao.

He couldn't understand Li Miao's despair at this moment.The fear in Li Miao's heart had swallowed up his will to survive. He didn't know if he would walk out of that horrible room alive.He even wanted to give up and never leave that room again.

Zhou Zhiqin was holding Li Miao's favorite Versace shirt and Hermes thin sweater.These are what Li Miao often wears in this weather. The clean underwear is wrapped in the clothes, and Zhou Zhiqin holds the bag tightly.He has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and he has also been arrested. Although it was not because of corruption, when he walked into this room today, he still felt his hairs stand on end, and the fear of the unknown deeply attacked him.

When Li Miao was pushed through the door, he didn't look up at all, until he heard Zhou Zhiqin call his name, he raised his head as if in a lifetime.

"It's me...I came to see you..."

Li Miao looked as if he had been run over by a truck, probably at the ugliest time in his life.But Zhou Zhiqin's heart was pounding because of his devastated appearance.

"Sorry……"

When Zhou Zhiqin heard this, his heart turned cold. He also expected that Li Miao would not be able to bear it.Many people couldn't bear it within a few hours. Li Miao has been in for three and a half days, which is normal.

His expression didn't change, he reached out to grab Li Miao's hand, and there was only a layer of skin left on his wrist.

"Eat more of what they give you. I will find a way, even if you are sentenced, I can get you out. Don't be afraid, follow them and suffer less."

"...I won't say anything, you help me take care of Xi'er." After speaking, Li Miao burst into tears, like an uncontrollable faucet.He was expressionless, just crying.

"I'll take you out. I'll take you out no matter how much money I spend, you have to believe me."

"Old Zhou, I might...will never see...Xi'er again. I miss her..."

"Li Miao! Take heart! Life is about solving one problem after another! If you are afraid, you will lose! Trust me, okay?"

Li Miao lowered her head, trying to control her tears.

He felt that the strength and energy in his body were draining little by little.

At this time, Zhou Zhiqin's hand can still be held, probably God's last mercy for him.

When Zhou Zhiqin left, he was extremely panicked, and he told the people he had taken care of well that he must keep an eye on Li Miao and not let him commit suicide.

The people here have seen all kinds of people, but Li Miao is really rare.

However, the person in charge couldn't say anything, but promised Zhou Zhiqin to take care of Li Miao.

Li Miao's mind gradually turned from a mess to a blank.The person who asked the question also noticed the strangeness. If he asked him a word, it took him a long time to respond, and he was speechless when he had a response.

In the past, there were also people who were forced to end up with aphasia, so they immediately felt that Li Miao was in this situation.

Of course, no doctor came to examine Li Miao right away, they just shifted their energy to the next person, and Li Miao was freed from the wheel battle for a few hours.

Tan Liyun didn't know that Li Miao had gone in until she received a call from her daughter.

Although she knew that the power system was "shuffling the cards", she always felt that people in Li Miao's position would not really go in.She didn't expect that this was a tough battle that Tang Jian had laid in an ambush.

Tan Liyun's ears hurt from her daughter crying.She comforted her daughter and made a hundred promises that she would get Li Miao out before she was able to hang up the phone.

Tan Liyun herself doesn't work in the prosecutorial system, so she called her cousin to inquire about the situation, and she was frightened when she heard it. Li Miao had been in there for four days.

She knew what was going on inside, even though her fate with Li Miao was over.But after all, it was me who caused the failure of the marriage in the past, and Li Miao was not wrong.Moreover, Li Miao's future also involves her daughter's future.Although it is a new era of opening up, people inevitably still have a hurdle in their hearts.Tan Liyun knew that if Li Miao went in, it would have a great impact on Xi'er's future marriage.Besides, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Li Miao to be sentenced.

Almost immediately, Tan Liyun decided to go and see Li Miao, and she could find it conveniently through a few of her father's students.This is much easier for her than Zhou Zhiqin.

Tan Liyun met Li Miao almost half a day later than Zhou Zhiqin.

Li Miao's eyes lit up when he saw Tan Liyun. First of all, this was the second person he saw today, and being able to get in touch with the outside world was a glimmer of hope for him.Secondly, he saw that it was Tan Liyun. No matter how hateful this woman was in the past and how sad and embarrassing he was, one thing remained unchanged. This woman's father had absolute influence in the prosecution system.

Li Miao looked at his ex-wife greedily, and Tan Liyun felt a little pity in his heart when he saw his ex-wife.

Tan Liyun's character is straightforward, she didn't ask anything after taking a look at Li Miao, and she didn't need to pretend to be like this.

She came to help Li Miao, and it could be regarded as filling the accounts between the two of them.Although she knew that this was another matter and could not replace the betrayal of her original marriage, Tan Liyun still hoped to take this opportunity to be with Li Miao again.

"Li Miao, don't be afraid, listen to me, I have already asked my brother. This is the hornet's nest stabbed by Tang Jian, the former deputy director of your unit. The evidence is there, but it's okay, I will ask my brother to get me a copy Here you go, look."

Tan Liyun took out a bunch of materials from her big bag.

The two of them spread out the materials there as if they were talking about work.

"I took a rough look on the way here, and I don't think you need to be afraid at all. His evidence is superficial, although it is enough for a sentence. But I know the operating methods of the system, as long as you don't spit out more Things come, they are just asking for money. How much cash you can use now, talk to them clearly. I still have this face."

"Really?"

"The few people who came in from your bureau have already gone out. Why do you think it is? I really can't ask anything? It means that the tickets are in place. As long as you can't spit out any big news, they will take the money and it will be almost the same. In the worst case, I will go to my father to come forward. You are also his ex-son-in-law after all."

Li Miao was uncomfortable with this title.But no matter how uncomfortable it was, it was no big deal. At this time, Tan Liyun was his only hope.

Seeing that Li Miao was still weak, Tan Liyun finally said: "Really, my brother asked, but no case was filed. That's all the evidence they have. Seeing the weight, they are too embarrassed to open their mouths. Why don't you find something to find me?" ?”

"I didn't expect to come in..."

Tan Liyun discussed with Li Miao for a while, and finally asked: "I will help you with the money matter first."

"It's okay, you can find our Mr. Zhou."

Tan Liyun frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Isn't it suitable? He is your boss."

"It's okay, I have money with him, it's inappropriate for you to ask me to pay."

Tan Liyun felt that Li Miao was trying to reject her. Although she was the only one who could save her life at this time, Li Miao had figured it out—the case was not filed.If Zhou Zhiqin can be trusted, he should be able to solve the case without filing it.But Li Miao was not ungrateful, he still thanked Tan Liyun for bringing him a little life.

It's just that he felt that Tan Liyun's performance was too eager, as if she wanted to exchange something with him.

So he was afraid again, he was not such a generous person.

If Tan Liyun wanted to remarry, he really didn't know what to do.So Li Miao could only give Tan Liyun a little hint. He knew that Tan Liyun was very smart and should be able to understand what he meant.
