Chapter 19 postscript

As the luxury yacht approached, the reef island in front of the line of sight became bigger, and Xingxing Island quickly grew into a lush land from a star in the vast expanse of blue waves.The quaint towers and pavilions on the island and the small mountain village hidden in the thick green shade gradually become clearly identifiable.Zou Yueru noticed that there were wisps of cooking smoke rising above the mountain village like smoke and mist. "It's almost here, Lao Qi and his wife must have been waiting on the shore." Liu Chongtian said while standing behind Zou Yueru, supporting the wheelchair.

Zou Yueru turned around and said: "Chongtian, I can say it again, don't mention any unpleasant things this time!" Liu Chongtian smiled and said, "Look at you, I'm still worried! Lao Qi and I are not as fragile as you think!" Zou Yueru is very serious: "It's not weak, and I don't mean you, but Lao Qi. Chongtian, think about it, Lao Qi has already taken the initiative to report his resignation to the provincial party committee, and he is about to go to the National People's Congress. He was given a serious warning. Xiaoyan is already paralyzed and sentenced to ten years in prison by the court, he will not feel good."

Liu Chongtian knew it in his heart: "I know, that's why we went to his hometown for a two-day vacation!" Zou Yueru said angrily: "Didn't you say it was to accompany me to relax? So it was because of your old partner?" Liu Chongtian smiled: "This is not contradictory, it can be taken into account!" Sighed, "Old Qi feels uncomfortable, and I also feel uncomfortable! I understand: In view of Xiaoyan's physical condition, the chance of parole for medical treatment Still big." Zou Yueru said: "It's best not to mention this matter with Lao Qi. If you can help to talk, just talk about it. You are now a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee."

Liu Chongtian said: "What's wrong with the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee? They can do whatever they want? Xiaoyan's affairs have to be handled according to the law, so it's inconvenient for me to say more." While speaking, the boat docked, and Quan Sheng and Gao Yaju were waiting at the tourist pier on the shore. Pushing Zou Yueru off the boat, Liu Chongtian opened his mouth and said, "Old Qi, Yaju, during the two days of National Day, Yueru and I spent in your hometown. Within two days, obey the orders and obey the command, and obey everything." You arrange it!"

Zou Yueru smiled and shouted: "Hey, hey, Chongtian, why is it two days? There is a seven-day holiday for National Day!" Quan Quansheng took the wheelchair from Liu Chongtian's hand, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Yueru, do you think Chongtian is me too? I'm free now, and Chongtian is even busier. It would be nice to spend two days on this small island." Liu Chongtian laughed straight: "Old Qi, don't worry, I made a promise to Yueru in the provincial capital, I will definitely go to your star island to see the stars, stay for two days, go fishing with your old buddy, drink some Let’s have a good chat. Oh, by the way, I still have to ask you to read my article on absolute power and deferred power, and give me some advice. Comrade Bingyi took special care of this!”

The next two days were pleasant, and the National Day of 2001 became a festival of harmony and friendship, a festival of mutual understanding.Two old partners and two families who have forged countless grievances and grievances in the nine years of political ups and downs have come together again on this day of national celebration.The two women are together day and night, like a pair of close sisters, talking and laughing, as if the two families have never had any unpleasant experiences, and the topics they talk about are also very easy, fashion, stocks, prices ...However, on this rare day off, the mood and topic of the two men are still so heavy.

When they were fishing together the next day, Liu Zhongtian started to work again: "Old Qi, why do you hear that you are a little emotional?" Quan Qisheng waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, Chongtian, don't get me wrong! I told Comrade Bingyi to take the blame and resign and take responsibility. We were sincere! Comrade Bingyi didn't agree. I must stay in Jingzhou to be the director of the National People's Congress!" Liu Chongtian smiled knowingly: "So, Comrade Bingyi asked me to talk to your old buddy again this time!" Holding the fishing rod in his hand, Quan Quansheng looked at the mainland in the distance: "What else is there to talk about? Chongtian, I'm thinking about it too. People have worked hard in their lives, so forget it. A while ago, I was with Yaju Said, I didn’t leave Xingxing Island until I was 14 years old. I often sat on the reef by the sea and looked at the stars, imagining how big the world is beyond the sea? In my dreams, I longed to leave the small island and travel to the big world on the mainland. It’s impossible to break through this, more than 30 years have passed, and now, I really look forward to returning to live a quiet life!" Liu Chongtian patted Quansheng on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Old Qi, you really want to be here I won’t stop you from becoming a Buddha on a small island, but I’ll bet you: You won’t be able to stay in it for a month! Can your old man abandon the wonderful world beyond the sea? Reform the cause? I don’t believe it even if you kill me, this is not your old Qi’s choice!”

Quan Quansheng smiled and changed the subject: "Chongtian, do you know? The death of the rare book shocked Tian Jian, and Tian Jian cried bitterly at the farewell ceremony for the body of the rare book. A few days ago, I talked to the young man and talked to him. Having said that, I hope he will stay and serve as the vice president of the reorganized Blue Sky Group and the general manager of Blue Sky Technology Company. Tian Jian agreed and decided not to leave, but to stay in Jingzhou.” Liu Chongtian was very pleased: "Okay, okay, I will be happy if I know the rare book!" Only then did Quan Quansheng ask: "Chongtian, how did you hear that the secretary and mayor who will come to Jingzhou soon are all young?"

Liu Chongtian nodded: "This is the case. Provincial government secretary Bai Mingyu is thirty-eight years old as secretary of the municipal party committee; Sun Shaolin, executive deputy director of the provincial economic commission, is thirty-six years old as acting mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee; these two young comrades They all have overseas study experience and have trained in different positions, so they are ready to make an announcement, and if the announcement is good, then it will be decided.” Qi Quansheng was very emotional: "I really didn't expect this! Comrade Bingyi and the Provincial Party Committee are so courageous. They sent such young comrades to be the top leaders of the Jingzhou Party and government! Chongtian, can you tell me? Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee How did the provincial party committee consider such an arrangement?"

Liu Chongtian thought for a while: "Comrade Bingyi said at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee a few days ago that the experience of Jingzhou proves that a relatively stable team is good for the economic development of a region. Although serious corruption has occurred in Jingzhou The problem, however, Jingzhou's economy has been growing at a high speed, and Jingzhou is the only one in the province that has no pressure from unemployment and layoffs. Lao Qi, the squad leader, has contributed a lot..." Quan Quan hurriedly waved his hands and said: "It's not my credit, it's because Jingzhou cadres and masses are highly aware and have done a good job..."

Liu Chongtian interrupted Quansheng: "Hey, Lao Qi, listen to me first! Therefore, Comrade Bingyi said that the profound lessons of power loss of supervision must be learned, but the achievements of Jingzhou's economic development must also be fully realized. Certainly, the successful experience must be persisted. Once the young teams like Bai Mingyu and Sun Shaolin are established, they should not be changed lightly. If the teams are changed too frequently, some people will inevitably be eager for quick success and quick profits, causing political earthquakes. This is very important for the sustainable development of developed regions. Very unfavorable." Quan Quan was convinced: "Well said, Comrade Bingyi said well, seek truth from facts, and have a long-term vision!" Liu Chongtian said meaningfully: "Comrade Bingyi and the Provincial Party Committee hope that your old man will help the two young people to shut down the power!" Quan Quansheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Chongtian, let the young people do it themselves, my time is over!" Liu Chongtian was a little excited and insisted: "However, power can no longer lose supervision, especially in areas with a highly developed economy like Jingzhou. Comrade Bingyi and the provincial party committee very much hope that you, Lao Qi, can do some research on local legislation!" Quan Quansheng was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "Chongtian, I... I understand!" The briefing of the case is inevitable. Liu Zhongtian told Quansheng: Bai Keshu has been sentenced to death by the first trial, and thirty-two criminals in the same case have also been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from death reprieve to ten or eight years. The case is basically closed. Quan Qisheng asked: "How did you hear that there was an accident in court? Lin Yida took over the procuratorate who sued?" Liu Chongtian admitted: "There is such a thing, there is a small setback. This Secretary-General Lin is too cunning. During the interrogation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, he confessed everything, some things he didn't, and he deliberately made random confessions. The confession was retracted, and it was said that it was torture. I saw that something was wrong, and immediately asked Chen Liren to submit to the court: voluntarily withdraw the prosecution and supplement the investigation." Quan Qisheng asked again: "Where is Jin Qiming from the Pyramid Group? Huh? When will this godfather sue?" Liu Chongtian said: "The next step is to sue. The Provincial Political and Legal Committee has decided that the Pinghu procuratorate will prosecute and the court will try it openly. However, it is estimated that there will be a fierce legal battle. Jin Qiming and the Pyramid Group have organized a strong team of lawyers. , to defend the innocence of Jin Qiming and the Pyramid Group, and has already created public opinion all over the country. Comrade Bingyi specially convened a meeting with comrades from relevant departments, and clearly instructed: Prosecute the case of Jin Qiming's gang-related criminal group The trial cannot be influenced by any outside public opinion, and must be handled in accordance with the law, based on facts, and based on the law. Comrade Bingyi also warned everyone that they must be fully mentally prepared and ready to accompany Jin Qiming's amazing team of lawyers. Take this lawsuit to the Supreme People's Court in Beijing." Quan Qisheng said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, we can't let Jin Qiming and the pyramid slip away, this kind of evil force must be destroyed!" Later, Qi Qisheng asked a lot about other people involved in the case, but he didn't mention his daughter Qi Xiaoyan, who had been sentenced to ten years in prison. of. When parting, Liu Chongtian couldn't help but still said, he quietly pulled Quansheng aside and said: "Old Qi, I went to the Judiciary Bureau to ask about Xiaoyan's matter, and there is probably no problem with her being released for medical treatment, and she is in a good condition now. Don't you worry." Quan Qisheng grasped Liu Chongtian's hand, and his voice choked up: "Chongtian, thank you, thank you for your understanding and concern for me! Xiaoyan's crime has her own reasons, but in the final analysis, it was destroyed by my hands! I ...If I don't become the secretary of the municipal party committee and don't monopolize the power, bad people like Zhao Fenfang and Bai Keshu won't... praise her like this!" I am afraid that Gao Yaju and Zou Yueru who are not far away will see her crying, and Qi Quansheng recited it. After getting up, he said as calmly as possible, "Chongtian, you have experience in caring for paralyzed patients. When will you tell me about it and pass it on to me. Xiaoyan has been divorced a long time ago and is single. Yaju and I can't No matter..." Liu Chongtian looked at Zou Yueru who was sitting in the wheelchair, his nose was sore, he suppressed tears and nodded: "Okay, okay..." Quan Quansheng wiped away the tears from his eyes, regained his composure, patted the back of Liu Chongtian's hand, and said sincerely: "Chongtian, are you really in such a hurry to leave? Huh? Look at your family, Yueru, who has played a lot these two days. Happy, seven days long vacation, can't you stay for another day?" Liu Chongtian smiled helplessly: "No, old man, I'm very content to have these two days of leisure!" After a short pause, he revealed in a low voice, "Maybe you've also heard: the relatives of our Governor Guan Something went wrong again, the secretary and his son are suspected of accepting bribes, the amount is huge, and the case is complicated, I have to listen to the report tonight, it was decided when I came here." Quan Quansheng sighed: "When will you, the Secretary of the Provincial Commission for Disciplinary Inspection, be free to do nothing!" Then he said, "Chongtian, do you know? There have been new discussions in the society recently, saying that we in Jingzhou Another major political earthquake happened. The source of the earthquake was in the provincial capital, Beijing. You and I both have backers. I think it refers to Comrade Bingyi and Comrade Chen Baichuan. What kind of political compromise has been reached between our backers? So, you Liu Chongtian let me go, and I let you go too..." Liu Chongtian said: "The rumors in the provincial capital are even more evil. It is said that Comrade Bingyi can put on a show, and making a big fuss about Comrade Bingyi's death is to cover up the bad influence of the major corruption case in Jingzhou. Someone said that Comrade Bingyi Getting two young men in their thirties to go to Jingzhou to be the top leaders of the party and government is a scheming plan with long-term ambitions!" He waved his hand, "Let them talk, who can stop them? However, Facts and truth will never be changed because of these rumors, and history will never record these rumors in its annals. Isn’t the earth still rotating normally, Lao Qi, look, look, the sun is not the same rise up!" Yes, the sun still rises! It is a brand new sun for another day in the new century. The sky full of clouds and rosy clouds in the eastern sky and the magnificent sea are reflected by the rising sun, which is bright red and boiling. The morning sun is like blood... the sea is like blood...
