Chapter 24 Chapter 23 Let me give the people of Qingshui an explanation before I leave

(January 14-22, 2001) The "cracking" sound of children's firecrackers sounded everywhere, and the number of people and vehicles on the streets increased day by day, and markets and businesses were selling like hot cakes. The "new year flavor" is getting stronger day by day.The Spring Festival, the most important traditional festival for the Chinese people, is approaching. Lin Yin welcomes the arrival of this Spring Festival with a gloomy mood.He has a feeling that this is his last Spring Festival in Qingshui. Political commissar Fang was also in a bad mood. He understood Lin Yin's situation and tried every means to help him, trying to turn the situation around.It wasn't until the 20th of the twelfth lunar month that he thought of an idea that he thought was good.As soon as the work bell rang, he walked into the shaded office and said, "The Spring Festival is coming soon, we have to move around!"

Lin Yin didn't understand for a while: "Walking around?" Political commissar Fang explained: "This is a common practice. At this time every year, the main leaders of the bureau will go to the relevant leaders of the district and city to pay New Year's greetings in advance... You can understand, it is to give gifts. When Lao Zeng was here, he did this every year. In fact, It’s not like we, the public security family, do this all the time... This is also good for changing your situation. By walking around and talking to the relevant leaders, let them understand you, build a harmonious relationship, and win their support..."

Understood.Lin Yin knew that Commissar Fang was doing it for her own good, but she still felt uncontrollable resentment.Do I have to rely on these to protect the black hat of the police chief?joke.Then I wouldn't be Lin Yin, and I wouldn't be in the predicament I am in today.No, I won't do it.what is this?Is it bribery?Besides, what and how much to give is appropriate... Political commissar Fang guessed Lin Yin's inner activities, and said next to him: "Lin Yin, don't be too stubborn. I don't know about other places. At least, almost every leader of the Science and Technology Bureau in Qingshui does this. I will help you design After a while, there are mainly four people in the city, Secretary Wan, Mayor Hong, Deputy Secretary Xu and Yu Hairong. Mayor Hong and Deputy Secretary Xu don’t need much. One hundred yuan is enough, meaning. Deputy Secretary Xu is timid and not greedy. It is said that Mayor Hong does not accept gifts, but if he does not accept gifts, he does not accept them. We have to give them. These two leaders are very decent and treat us It’s not bad, just let them know our intentions. More blood for Secretary Wan and Yu Hairong. Yu Hairong is greedy, and he will not be happy if he loses two thousand yuan. He thinks it’s too much to look down on him. It’s not good for us either, just two thousand. Secretary Wan... When Lao Zeng was here, he was given five thousand every year, and one year he gave away ten thousand. I think you can give five thousand. There are also prefectural committees and administrative offices. Director Gu also expressed a little bit..."

The tree shade grows hairier the more it hears it.Omg, how much does this add up to?Before Fang's political commissar finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, my political commissar, don't talk about it, I can't do this. The investigation team just finished the investigation a few days ago. Isn't this bribery? Besides, I just want to send it to you." Why don’t you have this money? How much do you add together? My salary for two years is not enough, so how will I live after sending it to my family?” Political commissar Fang was delighted to hear this: "Lin Yin, do you really not understand or are you pretending? Who gave it with their own money? With the money of the unit. Everyone understands, no one says anything, and no one will check... ...Besides, who dares to check this kind of money? Haven't you heard that when Secretary Wan's daughter got married, the director of the city grain depot gave a gift of 5,000 yuan to the account? The Audit Bureau found out during the audit, and he didn't even dare to fart. !"

Anger rose from my heart again: Why, give gifts with public funds?No wonder they are so generous!How much has Lao Zeng given away over the years?No wonder he did such a terrible job, and he was still an official.Damn it, what kind of thing is it that the public gives gifts and benefits personally?If I do the same, what is the difference between me and someone like him?He shook his head resolutely: "No, Political Commissar Fang, I know you are thinking of me, and I thank you for your concern. But I will never do this kind of thing. I will become an official based on my ability and work. If I rely on this, I would rather not be the police chief!"

Political commissar Fang sighed slightly after listening.After a while, he said: "Lin Yin, since you think so, I won't say it. In fact, I also dislike doing this, but what can I do? This is a person who is in the rivers and lakes. You can't help yourself. You have to know, according to As usual, after the new year, you have to study cadres. At that time...if you really leave, I will quit and take the initiative to retreat to the second line...but I always feel unwilling. We have beaten and kicked this year, and finally opened it. The situation, just give up? Besides, we still have a lot of things to do. If you leave and I quit, who will be happy? The happiest must be Da Junzi. You are really willing ?!"

Of course Lin Yin was not reconciled.He wants to use this last time to make a final fight, and he already has a good idea. He shared his thoughts with the political commissar of the other party, and the political commissar Fang was very encouraged: "Okay, I fully support you. If it really succeeds, we will be happy even if we go down. Just be sure to keep it secret!" After Fang's political commissar left, Lin Yin called Director Gu and talked about his thoughts.After thinking for a while, Director Gu fully agreed, and said, "I will immediately ask the Criminal Investigation Detachment and the Technical Department to intervene!"

As the Spring Festival approached, news of Lin Yin's imminent resignation from the Qingshui Public Security Bureau and even the relevant people in Qingshui City had spread.Some even spoke vividly.It is said that several core members of the Standing Committee of the prefectural committee have been linked together and reached a consensus. The grandson will leave the Qingshui City Public Security Bureau and return to the Regional Public Security Bureau.Another piece of news is: Secretary Wan will be promoted to deputy commissioner of the administrative office. The performance of the tree shade seems to prove this point.He is no longer as busy as he used to be, and he is visibly relaxed. He often walks around various offices to say hello to everyone, and even sighs without hesitation that this is the last few days in the Qingshui Public Security Bureau, and he still treats his comrades as usual. We apologize for being too strict.After the implementation of the appointment system, the unqualified police training courses that were separated were also disbanded. All the policemen were assigned duties, including Wei Jingsheng from the traffic police brigade, but he was no longer allowed to manage the registration of vehicles.What is even more touching is that he doesn't take care of some things that he must take care of normally.No, the new year is approaching, the Century Project construction team hired by Dajunzi didn’t receive any money, and some employees wanted to make trouble. They were beaten up by the thugs ordered by Dajunzi. The victim found the police station, and Lin Yin only said that it was caused by economic dispute Yes, they are required to go to the court to sue or report to the city leaders.

How could this be like Lin Yin, the chief of the public security bureau who was so vicious and vengeful? What's more, on this day, Lao Jin, the secretary of the discipline inspection, came to him and said angrily: "Director Lin, my son was beaten by Zhao Tiejun, you don't care..." It turned out that Lao Jin's son ran into Zhao Tiejun and two lads on the street, and was grabbed face to face: "Damn, your father is still alive, he still wants to punish me? I have to thank him, the more you punish me, the more prosperous I will be." , otherwise how can you go to the tax bureau? This is much better than the public security bureau, the treatment is good, and you are an uncle everywhere... Why, you haven’t worked yet? Ask your father, he insists on principles so much, the Communist Party still doesn’t give Has his son arranged a job?" After he finished speaking, he was beaten and kicked, and after the beating, he was asked to report to the police station: "You go to your father quickly, and let him find someone named Lin, otherwise, he will be in Qingshui in a few days later. I can't find him!" After speaking, he laughed and left.

Lin Yin was very angry after hearing this, but what he showed was just a faint smile: "It's nothing special. You are also the leader of the bureau, so go directly to the police station in your jurisdiction and do whatever you want. However, this is not even enough to hurt, I'm afraid Don't be strict!" Lao Jin was so angry that he pointed at Lin Yin's lips and said tremblingly: "You...Lin Yin, have you really surrendered, you...you..." Lin Yin sympathized with Lao Jin very much, but he still said: "You know, I can't stay in Qingshui Public Security for a few days. At this time... By the way, you should go to Deputy Director Zhou and see what he thinks." !"

Lao Jin was so angry that he stopped talking and turned around angrily. On this day, Lin Yin went to Hao Zheng, the deputy director of the office, and said: "Director Hao, you have supported my work a lot this year, but you never mentioned it. I'm sorry!" Hao Zheng said "Where is that?" in his mouth, but he secretly cursed: Damn, you have this day too!If I had known today, why should I be so crazy at the beginning, what kind of reforms, appointments, how about it, this time I have completed my own reforms, you hire this and that, let's see who will hire you this time?Back then, I begged you not to help, but now you want to curry favor with me?It's too late... Hey, but, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, this kid is not too old, and he really has a few tricks, and he jumped up again at some point, you can't offend him openly, you have to secretly punish him Start, just like last time.How about it, although the investigation team didn't find any problems, it still caused him enough trouble.How could he know that most of the materials were provided by me, Hao Zheng? ! Thinking of this, Hao Zheng smiled all over his face: "Where, Director Lin, don't say that. In fact, I admire you the most. You are not only decent, but also capable. Look, you have only been here for a year, how much our bureau has changed. If nothing else, just look at the number of cases solved and the rate of cases solved, how much has it risen from last year? There is also the 'double review', which was last last year and ranked seventh this year. You have to work on it for another year , it will definitely be no problem to enter the top three..." Lin Yin had already seen through Hao Zheng's character, and knew that he was ignoring himself, but she was still very happy to hear that.Yes, although this year's work has offended many people, the work performance is undeniable.The absolute number of solved cases is almost twice that of those eliminated, not to mention the major cases solved.The detection rate has increased by more than ten percentage points, and this is the figure when the case is truthfully filed.The only downside is that the number of cases did not drop significantly, and even increased. This is also the result of filing cases truthfully. Compared with last year, the actual number of cases was much less.And several types of cases with serious social harm have been significantly reduced. Not to mention the "double evaluation". Among the 47 participating units in the city, they jumped from the bottom one last year to the top seven, ranking among the 12 counties, urban public security bureaus and sub-bureaus in the district. First.Moreover, according to feedback from reliable channels, a considerable part of the dissatisfied votes were drawn by the municipal party committee and a few township leaders of the science and technology bureaus.This shows that the vast majority of Qingshui people are satisfied with the work of the Public Security Bureau and with themselves. Hao Zheng looked at Lin Yin's face, speculated about his psychological activities, saw the joy and pride on his face, and cursed inwardly: "Damn, don't be too happy, you are the one who is going to leave soon. !" Changed his tone and said, "It's just a pity. If you are such a good police chief, why don't you let him be the chief? They say you will leave after the Chinese New Year... Director Lin, you have to report it to the higher authorities. Reflect, where can I find a good police chief like you? After you leave, Qingshui probably won’t have a police chief like you again... Chief Lin, is this true? Is it a rumor?” Hao Zheng said, keeping his eyes on Lin Yin's face, observing his expression and reaction.Lin Yin sighed, nodded silently and said, "It's all true, I'm leaving after the Chinese New Year... Director Hao, please serve me one last time, prepare some cardboard boxes for me, I have to pack them up thing!" Hao Zheng repeatedly agreed.After the tree shade went out, I was so happy that I turned several times on the ground, and then turned out quickly, blowing the wind all over everyone's ears. January 17th, the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaonian.At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yin presided over a short party committee meeting.At the meeting, he said: "Everyone has been busy for a year. Let's just have two meals today and get off work at three o'clock. However, Chief Niu, you must arrange the shift properly so that there will be no problems... By the way, the duty during the Spring Festival must also be arranged. As for the leader on duty, let me arrange it on the 30th night. I will go back to Baishan on the first day of the junior high school. This is probably my last time on duty... Also, I want to relax during this time. Host, from now until the new year, don't ask me for instructions if there is nothing special, everyone has discussed it, just don't make any big things happen, let me leave Qingshui safely!" He spoke sincerely and calmly, but revealed the sadness and disappointment in his heart.Everyone was very upset after hearing it, and there were only some useless consolations.Lin Yin smiled faintly, noncommittal. After the meeting, everyone went home.There were only a few on-duty personnel left in the Public Security Bureau building, and it seemed particularly silent.Political commissar Fang, Lao Jin, Li Shulin and others all invited him to eat at home, but Lin Yin refused to disturb the family reunion, saying that he would eat in the cafeteria with members of the 110th Patrol Squadron.However, after the people dispersed, there would be a wait for a meal in the small cafeteria. During this time, he didn't know what to do, so he could only sit alone in the office, savoring this different taste. I have heard from Qin Zhijian and others that on the eve of every new year and festival, there will be many people inside and outside the bureau giving gifts to the director.When Lao Zeng was there, he could collect tens of thousands of yuan in just a few days of Chinese New Year.Lin Yin was surprised when he heard this.Therefore, this kind of behavior was denounced at the general meeting, and the two comrades who gave the gift were severely criticized during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and this trend was stopped.This time it's good, the wind of my resignation is blowing all over the city, and I don't want anyone to give me gifts anymore.At this time, I really hope that someone will come to visit me. Even if it is a gift, as long as it is not too much, I can accept it, because this is also a consolation, and it proves that Linyin is not unpopular in Qingshui.However, this is no longer possible. However, he was wrong.At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the office, and it was not a person's footsteps, and then the door was knocked lightly.Lin Yin stood up at once, and eagerly replied: "Come in, hurry up..." The first to enter was a middle-aged policeman, tall and thin, carrying a large woven bag in his hand, followed by a woman, holding an eleven or twelve-year-old boy by the hand.The three of them looked at the shade of the tree and were speechless for a moment, but they all had sincere smiles on their faces. Lin Yin only felt his eyes light up, and blurted out: "Yan Decai...it's you..." It's really Yan Decai.It seemed that although he was thin, his complexion was much better than before.Lin Yin hurriedly seated the family of three, poured water for them, and asked anxiously, "Decai, how are you doing? Are you okay?" Yan Decai sat on the sofa with half of his buttocks, and while receiving the water glass, he replied: "Thank you Director Lin for your concern, I am much better. I have recuperated for more than three months after the operation, and I couldn't stay longer, so I went to work again. I went to the province a few days ago. Another film was taken, and the doctor said that I am in good physical condition and recover much faster than others. Half of the removed stomach has recovered. Now it is enough to eat five or six meals a day, and I will basically return to normal in the second half of next year. !" Yan Decai's wife went on to say: "Director Lin, if it weren't for you, Decai might be... our family would be finished. We will never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives. I never thought that Decai would have such a good director as you..." The woman became emotional as soon as she spoke, and she couldn't continue talking, covering her eyes with her hands. Lin Yin felt great warmth in his heart.He knew that the couple in front of him were sincere.He didn't want to call himself a benefactor, but it was really gratifying that the good deeds he had done produced good results.They have not forgotten all this, and it is even more touching to see themselves at this time. Yan Decai and his wife are both honest people, they chatted briefly and then stood up, Yan Decai moved the woven bag forward and said incoherently: "Director Lin, it's Chinese New Year, we... made some sticky bean buns , please accept... and some hazelnuts, which my lover picked up from the mountain..." Yan Decai's wife took it over and said: "We don't have anything to give away. Besides, I can see that you... are not that kind of person, so let's take this as a gift. Take it home and give it to the family!" What can Lin Yin say?He said from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, I'll accept it, I will accept it, thank you for your virtue and talent, take care, take care of yourself!" He patted the little boy's head again: "Study hard, you will be promising in the future!" Quietly stuff one hundred yuan into the child's pocket. Yan Decai's family walked for a long time, but Lin Yin was still immersed in warmth.This family of three greatly comforted his heart. What he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.After Yan Decai's family walked for a while, footsteps were heard in the corridor again, and the door was knocked again.Then the two walked into the house.When Lin Yin saw the person coming, his body felt like an electric shock, and he stood up abruptly: "You...it's you...quick, please sit down!" In came a woman and a little boy, still wearing black veils on their arms. They are Huang Jianqiang's wife and son. Seeing them, Lin Yin burst into tears immediately, and managed to control them. He had already discussed with Commissar Fang that he wanted to visit the mother and son years ago, but it still didn't work out.In addition to being busy, both of them had a strong embarrassment in their hearts.They all know that they should visit them often, but they dare not go, because they cannot face the widow and orphan of a policeman, which is too painful.But now they come by themselves. Huang Jianqiang's wife has become thinner, so thin that she feels weak.However, Lin Yin heard that this strong woman is still insisting on going to work and teaching students.Perhaps, she used this to forget and get rid of the unforgettable pain. What are they doing here? Huang Jianqiang's wife held a small bag in her hand, which looked light and light.She forced a smile, and said shyly: "Director Lin, don't laugh at us. Although Jianqiang is gone, I still thank you. If it wasn't for you, he might still be in prison, or he might have been sentenced. And he wouldn’t die so vigorously. Jianqiang wouldn’t say anything, but he was always grateful to you in his heart. When he was alive, he said that he would definitely come to see you during the Chinese New Year. We know that you are not that kind of person, but, I… I weave I bought a sweater, which I discussed with Jianqiang, you must accept it!" Lin Yin suddenly sobbed violently.With tears in his eyes, he saw Huang Jianqiang's wife take out a sweater from her small bag, which was hand-knitted stitch by stitch.It looks thick and the pattern is well designed. Lin Yin wept and shook his hand and said, "No, no, I can't accept it, you take it back quickly, I can't accept it, why are you knitting a sweater for me, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Jianqiang..." Huang Jianqiang's wife: "Director Lin, don't say that, why are you sorry for Jianqiang? Jianqiang told me that working with you makes me happy even if I'm exhausted... Director Lin, take it, I've already After weaving, if you don’t accept it, who will I give it to? Jianqiang has already left, and the child is still young... I don’t know if the size is suitable or not. Son, the year is not going well, and Jianqiang will not feel at ease..." Lin Yin couldn't evade any more, so he took the sweater silently.Huang Jianqiang's wife rubbed her eyes happily. Lin Yin gently put the sweater on the table, and asked Huang Jianqiang's wife what difficulties she had in life.Huang Jianqiang's wife shook her head vigorously and said: "No, there are no difficulties. Director Lin, please don't worry about us. Now that the child is still young, I have salary income, and the usual expenses are small. There is also a pension. Everything is enough, but ..." He hesitated and looked towards Lin Yin: "Director Lin, I have a request!" Lin Yin immediately became highly concentrated, and hurriedly asked: "Tell me, I will definitely do it!" Huang Jianqiang's wife looked at the shade of the tree and said, "I've heard a lot of people say that you won't be able to work in Qingshui for a few days, and the higher ups will dismiss you, and you will have to leave after the new year. Is there such a thing?" Lin Yin: "Director Lin, please don't leave, I'm still waiting for you to avenge Jianqiang. You can't let Jianqiang die in vain...Son, speak up, please, Uncle Lin, please don't leave!" The little boy did not speak, but stared at the shade of the tree with his big eyes. Lin Yin was speechless.Because it's not up to you to decide.However, he replied firmly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to avenge Jianqiang. Even if I leave, I will not forget Jianqiang, nor will his comrades. He takes revenge!" After sending Huang Jianqiang's wife and children away, Lin Yin sat down silently, stroking the sweater they sent, and suddenly couldn't control herself, covering her face with the sweater and crying bitterly. It wasn't until the phone rang that Lin Yin barely calmed down.It was a call from the small cafeteria, inviting him over for dinner.He put down the phone, wiped his eyes and went out, went down to the first floor, and saw the police on duty were stopping three people from going upstairs.The leader turned his head to see the shade of the tree, and shouted happily: "Director Lin, it's great that you didn't leave..." It's Xu Zimin.Xu Zimin from Xingwang Village, Xingfu Town, followed by two villagers, all of them looked overjoyed and happy. Lin Yin asked what they were doing here, Xu Zimin looked to the side and saw that the police on duty had returned to the duty room, so he whispered to Lin Yin: "Recently, we have heard many rumors that you made a mistake and you will be withdrawn." Some people said that you have been dismissed, we were all anxious, don’t believe it, it was passed on vividly. Then I thought about it, I saw the New Year, and I came to see you...Look now, it’s just rumors, Aren't you here right? Where did the wind come from...Director Lin, have you heard about it? Is there such a thing?" Lin Yin looked at the three simple faces, smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern." After hesitating, he said: "However, the rumors may be true. I'm afraid I have to leave Qingshui after the Chinese New Year!" "real?!" The three people yelled in unison, followed by a chaotic quarrel: "Why is this? What mistake did you make...", "How can a good person not last long? With a police chief like you, We ordinary people feel more secure, so why should we remove you...","Why do the superiors employ people? They should be promoted and reused like you. Why are you still withdrawing!","Damn, this It’s really hard to be a good person in the new year, and it’s hard to be a good official!” Xu Zimin was even more excited: “This won’t work, the common people don’t agree, I want to report it upwards, and the people in Xingwang Village want to report it upwards, and I will organize people when I return to the village…” Lin Yin knew that what they did would not help him, but would be counterproductive, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, don't, don't do this, there are some situations you don't understand, and you are very grateful if you can come to see me... What's the matter? Go to the office and sit for a while?" Xu Zimin thought for a while: "No. We are here to see you, and to tell you that after Xue Huaili's death, our Xingwang Village has changed its team. This time it is a real election, which is conducted according to the Village Election Law. Everyone Choose me as the village head, and they are accountants and security directors. We must work hard and not harm the common people like Xue Huaili. Let you know our heart. The third is..." The voice lowered: "The third is Chinese New Year Yes, I want to express my heart to you, it is the meaning of the people in the village, I wanted to buy something for you, but I can't think of anything to buy, so you must accept it..." Xu Zimin actually took out a wad of money and stuffed it into Lin Yin's pocket.Lin Yin was terrified and furious, and he didn't want to make a sound, so he pushed it away hard: "What are you doing, who do you think I am, take it back quickly, I will never take it..." Xu Zimin said anxiously: "Director Lin, this is not bribery. Since you are about to be dismissed, why do we still bribe you? It is indeed a little intention. It was put together by everyone in the village. You can accept it, otherwise we will not go back. The law explains..." Lin Yin couldn't help but raise his voice: "No, absolutely not. The chief of the Public Security Bureau is performing his duty to eliminate harm for the people. What are you thankful for... I accept your wishes, and you must not accept the money...Xu Zimin, you have become the village chief , should lead everyone to promote the cause of the village, how to learn this way!" After hearing this, Xu Zimin sighed and gave up, and said to his two companions: "What's the matter? I said he can't accept it, but you just want to do it. Director Lin is not Lao Zeng!" To Lin Yin: "You don't know, Director Lin, When Xue Huaili was the head of the village, he started to go to the useful leaders of the city at this time of year. Every year, he gave away tens of thousands, including Lao Zeng... Well, if you don’t accept it, don’t accept it, and we won’t delay You, I’m going back now. Don’t worry, my brother and I will definitely lead the villagers to work hard to make Xingwang Village really prosperous. I don’t believe you come back in three years!” Lin Yin said: "Okay, when your Xingwang Village really prospers, I will definitely be a guest, and I will accept any gifts you give me then!" The three of Xu Zimin walked away happily and sighing. Lin Yin thought of going to the small cafeteria to eat, but the phone suddenly rang.It was Mayor Hong who called: "Lingyin, where are you? You haven't eaten yet. Just now, I heard from Political Commissar Fang that you didn't go to anyone's house. I wonder if I can invite you... I didn't prepare anything either. It's a common meal, but eating at home always feels a bit like the New Year...By the way, you haven't been to my house, and it's on the fifth floor of the entrance of the fourth building..." Lin Yin felt the warmth in his heart again, he thought about it, but didn't refuse. Walk into the building, go up to the fifth floor, and ring the doorbell of 451. With a burst of pleasant electronic music, the door opens, and a young woman's face is revealed, with smiling white teeth and black eyes. , a beautiful chin.It was Miao Yu.By the way, she said that Mayor Hong is her uncle. Mayor Hong also came out to greet him: "The tree shade is here, come inside!" The shade was let into the living room, and he was first attracted by the two huge bookcases, which were full of books.I went up to look and saw that a bookcase was full of works on political and economic theory, including classics of Marxism-Leninism, works by new Western economists, and works by some economists in the new era of our country, including those by Sun Zhifang and Wu Jinglian. Gu Zhun’s other bookcase is devoted to literature and art books. There are many literary masterpieces from ancient and modern China and abroad, as well as literary periodicals such as "Contemporary", "October" and "Woodpecker".It seems that Mayor Hong's reading is still complicated, and he really reads it.Lin Yin has always liked reading, but she has been too busy in Qingshui for a year, so she has very little time for reading.At this time, I couldn't help being a little greedy, and I looked through it fondly. Mayor Hong said: "If you like it, just read a few books. I encourage young cadres to read more books. The General Secretary put forward the 'Three Stresses'. The first one is to talk about learning. I think it is very correct and necessary. Do As a leading cadre, how can you improve and adapt to work if you don’t study? I don’t like the kind of cadre the most. They don’t study, don’t read newspapers, ask questions about work, and talk eloquently when they come to the wine table. Such a person, the quality There are few good people, like... Hey, by the way, there is some news that you don’t know yet, something may have happened to Lao Zeng!” What? Mayor Hong said: "I also just heard that the joint investigation team of provincial and prefectural discipline inspection commissions went to Baoshan for Lao Zeng. I don't know exactly what happened. I heard that there are already 'two regulations'!" Hearing this news, Lin Yin didn't know what it was like, but he wasn't surprised either. With Lao Zeng's style, something would happen sooner or later.But he was not happy either, because he was also the chief of the public security bureau. If something happened to him alone, the impact would be on the entire public security team. I don't know how much work the police have to do to recover the loss and impact. Mayor Hong guessed Lin Yin's heart, sighed and said: "I really don't understand why some people do everything possible to climb up to power, and after taking power, they just hug money, what's the point of hugging money? Get rich, what do you do when you get rich? In fact, the material needs of a person in his life are limited. When he becomes a leading cadre and takes power, generally speaking, he can live well. You have so much money, you can die Take them away? There are some cadres who spend their money and money all day long. What is the meaning of this kind of life? Not to mention the blood and sweat of the people, it also damages the body and wastes time and life. I really can't live this kind of life. I I feel that as long as the material life is guaranteed, it is enough to get rid of the embarrassment, and the rest is to live and work to the fullest, to do some facts for the common people, or to read meaningful books and think about some problems, which is the greatest enjoyment... Maybe I'm outdated and can't adapt to the current situation!" Mayor Hong's words resonated with Lin Yin.In fact, he often thinks this way. Although his life is relatively tense, he can get by. As the chief of the public security bureau, it is easy to get money, but what can he do with the money?Eat better, live better, or provide for my son to go to college in the future, what else can I do besides these?Why are some people not satisfied with risking hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of money? What are they going to do?What happiness can be derived from it? While talking, Miao Yu walked in: "Uncle, the meal is ready, let's talk while eating!" In the dining room, a table of hot dishes has been set.Apart from Mayor Hong, his wife and Miao Yu, there was no one else in the family.A small round table, four people sat around, a sense of warmth accompanied by the fragrance of the dishes permeated, suddenly, Lin Yin felt a deep homesickness in his heart. Mayor Hong took out a cup of ancient well, poured a small cup for Linyin and said, "Linyin, I am deeply touched by your work this year. No matter what others say, the city government recognizes it. Since you come After that, the law and order in Qingshui became much more stable. Now, in the name of the mayor, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the people of Qingshui... By the way, I am the mayor, so I can represent the city government... Come on, I know you don't drink , I can't drink it either, but let's drink this glass of wine now!" Lin Yin didn't say anything, picked up the wine and drank it down.Miao Yu watched with interest, seeing Lin Yin's painful expression, couldn't help laughing "puchi". After drinking a glass, Mayor Hong will pour it again.Miao Yu hastily stopped him: "Uncle, a glass is enough. Didn't I tell you that people don't drink alcohol!" Mayor Hong chuckled: "This is a matter between the leaders, you don't need to worry about it." To Lin Yin: "By the way, few people in our city know our relationship. She grew up in my family. Later I went to university and was assigned to a big newspaper in other places. But you must have felt her character, she was more boyish than a boy, she just said and wrote if she didn’t like it, but she caused trouble and wrote a letter criticizing the local leaders The article made the situation very difficult. When I saw it, it was better to call me to come and control her. At first she didn’t come, saying that she didn’t want to live under my protection. My aunt was getting old and needed someone to take care of her, so she got her here. But after she came, she made an agreement with me three times, and she was not allowed to reveal our relationship to others. When she came to our house, she always avoided other people's eyes and went to the office When looking for me, if there are outsiders present, just call me the mayor. What do you think it is... Fortunately, an old friend came a few days ago and accidentally revealed our relationship. Liberated..." I see.Miao Yu blushed when she heard what her uncle said, and said angrily, "In this way, I don't want to stay in Qingshui anymore. Otherwise, no matter whether I made mistakes or achieved results, people will say that the mayor is mine." Uncle, besides, I like to cause trouble, so don't cause trouble for you. I will be transferred after the Chinese New Year!" My aunt said: "Come on, I don't know your narrow-mindedness? Is it because of the relationship with uncle or something else?" To Lin Yin: "Director Lin, you don't know. Whenever you come to my house, you don't mention it. Yours, saying that you are decent, capable, and compassionate, are all good words, and you are about to catch up with Gao Daquan. These days, I heard the wind that you are going to leave, and I have been wilting like frost. Last night Sleeping in the same bed with me, arguing with someone in my dream, the voice was very loud, saying 'Director Lin is so good, why do you have to take him away', woke me up, pushed her, she grabbed me Arm said: 'Director Lin, you can't go'." To Miao Yu: "Tell me, is there such a thing?" Miao Yu blushed in a rare way, glanced at the shade of the tree, and then pushed her aunt: "Auntie, stop talking, the food is cold, eat it quickly!" He said and took several mouthfuls of food for his aunt. Mayor Hong took a sip of white wine, took the words and said to Lin Yin: "This is all the truth. I can also see that Miao Yu is suffering from admiration for you. Last time the investigation team came to investigate the relationship between the two of you." , I know all about it. But I know Miao Yu's character, and I know your character, so I trust you, so I didn't ask any questions!" Mayor Hong's wife said: "I don't think so. At that time, if Lao Hong was not in the way, I would have to talk to the investigation team. What are they doing? This is related to a girl's reputation... But after thinking about it, I can't blame her, if I don't know Miao Yu well, I would suspect that there is something wrong with her attitude towards you... By the way, I'm already twenty-eight years old, I just don't look for a partner, I have introduced a lot, and I always say that she The quality is too bad, and I don't know what kind of quality is good enough. Is Chen Feng on the TV station pretty good? She's two years younger than her, and she's very good at chasing her, but she just ignores her..." Hearing these words, Miao Yu became a little ashamed and annoyed, and covered her ears with her hands: "Auntie, are you looking for someone to eat just to talk about my business? Don't look for them!" My aunt looked at Miao Yu, then at the shade of the tree, made a worried expression, and stopped talking. Lin Yin could understand that the words of Mayor Hong's wife were largely for herself, and she seemed to deliberately say these words in front of herself and Miao Yu to achieve her goal.意识到这一点，有点不舒服起来。 苗雨好象也意识到了什么，只顾埋头吃饭，不再说话。 洪市长和林荫都不能喝酒，不一会儿，饭就吃完了，洪市长把林荫单独让进客厅。 林荫感觉到，洪市长有话要说。可是进客厅后，洪市长给他倒了杯水，却陷入沉默中，好一会没出事。他试探着问了声：“洪市长，你……身体还好吧，有什么事吗？” 洪市长看了林荫一眼，表情复杂地笑了一笑，低声说：“嗯，是有点事……”停了停却改了口气，“我听说，这些日子你挺消极，工作也放松了，这不行啊？年关到了，得让群众过个平安年哪，你要一放松，犯罪分子就嚣张了！” 林荫沉了沉，苦笑一声说：“这你还不理解吗？整个清水都知道我干不了几天了！” 洪市长又是一笑：“咳，这都是民间组织部杜撰出来的。有句老话说得好，听兔子叫不种黄豆了。咱们都是共产党员，任何时候都不能忘记职责。别说现在还没动你，即使真要动，也得站好最后一班岗。再说了，鹿死谁手还说不定呢！” 林荫一愣，他没想到洪市长说出这种话来：鹿死谁手？What does it mean?正要问，洪市长从怀里拿出一封信递过来：“你先看看这个吧！” 林荫拿到手中一看，是封揭发检举信： 省纪检委各位领导： 我是清水市公安局一个普通民警，现在，怀着不平静的心情，把市委书记排挤我们公安局长林荫同志的问题反映给你们，同时，也把他与黑恶势力勾结，大搞权钱交易等腐败问题一并反映给你们，望认真对待，严肃调查处理…… 信的最后，赫然写着一个人的名字：苗雨。 This…… 林荫心咚咚直跳，抬起眼睛望向洪市长，洪市长说：“这是底稿，原信已经寄走了！”沉了沉说：“她瞒着我干的。这二年，我为了专心工作，一直努力回避矛盾。现在身不由己，苗雨突然来了这一手，肯定要把我卷进去了，想躲也躲不开了。我想，这事很快就会挑开了，我和他肯定是没法再共事了。” 听到这个消息，林荫心里一片混乱，不知是啥心情，既为苗雨的仗义执言而心存感激，也为她的莽撞而不满，她实在是欠考虑，谁知道会引发什么后果？ “我刚知道这事时很生气，可后来也想通了。这样也好，早爆发，晚爆发，早晚也得爆发。”停了停，声音低下来，眼睛盯着林荫说：“有件事也跟你透露一下吧。前几天我到省里开会，省纪检委有位领导专门找我谈过一次话……” 洪市长的话顿了一下，林荫身子又一震：省纪检委领导找市长谈话，肯定涉及的不是平常小事。洪市长的声音更低了：“谈话中我才知道，这二年，省委和纪检委就没少接到有关大老板的揭发检举信，当然都是匿名的。不久前又接到一封特殊的匿名信，揭发检举了很多人所不知的问题，包括大军子作的很多坏事，以及大老板和他的不正常关系，还有和那个陶女士的暧昧关系、世纪工程的一些问题等等。对了，好象还涉及到你，也为你鸣冤叫屈。揭发检举的问题言之凿凿的，包括一些细节都说得很清楚，看起来是个知情人。省纪检委非常重视，找我主要是了解这方面的情况。” 林荫听得心跳不止，洪市长话一停，忍不住立刻追问：“你怎么谈的？” 洪市长叹口气说：“这种事情能乱说吗？一是不掌握直接证据，二是他关系网非常厉害，传到他耳朵里怎么办？再说了，我们俩这种特殊的关系，一个书记一个市长，弄不好会给人以整人的印象。另外……”洪市长迟疑了一下才说：“我也不希望他出事！” What?林荫有些意外，惊讶地看着洪市长。洪市长沉重地叹息一声说：“你想过没有，如果他完了，大军子肯定也完，这世纪工程随之也得完蛋。我最初反对上这个工程，可是已经上了，投进去三千多万，他们俩要完了，这工程谁接都烫手，搞不好就半途而废了。所以我才希望他继续干，就是出事，也等他把这工程搞完再出事，要不清水损失太大了，老百姓的血汗钱都打水漂了！” 原来，洪市长心里想着这些。但林荫没有被说服，他说：“可是，您想过没有，世纪工程搞成了会是什么结果？他又会提拔了，手中有了更大权力，又去搞下一个工程了，那危害不就更大了？再说了，谁知他在这工程里搞出什么名堂来？大笔回扣自不必说，工程质量谁敢保证？将来要是出了质量事故，象湛江虹桥似的，危害不更大吗？” 洪市长沉默好一会儿才叹口气说：“你说得有理，我也这么想过。这些腐败分子的危害不止是现在，还有将来呀……所以，我也转变了态度，只考虑个人得失，不考虑人民利益，那还是什么共产党员，什么领导干部？苗雨写信的事，早晚会暴露出来，那时，我就一点退路都没有了……对了，跟你说这些，也是给你鼓鼓劲儿，不要觉得这世界就是他们的了！” 林荫确实很受鼓舞，此时，他好象看到很多并不认识的身影站在身后，在支持自己。 洪市长继续说：“我想了又想，觉得这不是个人私怨，私怨可以退一步海阔天空。可这是一场和腐败黑恶势力的斗争，事关党的事业和人民的利益，所以我就不想退了。可是，不退就得斗争，可我们俩这种关系，不掌握确凿证据，不能乱来呀！他又不是一般群众，你们公安机关也不能介入，所以，我也很为难……” 林荫的神经被洪市长的话所触动：既然万大老板和大军子关系这么紧密，如果把大军子打掉，必然会牵出他来。可是，要突破大军子，必须首先抓获二军子赫刚，从而一个牵一个…… 绕了一圈又回到原处，看来，自己的作用还真挺关键呢，怪不得他们千方百计想搞掉自己。 想到这里，林荫才低声跟洪市长谈了自己的斗争策略，谈了为什么目前如此低调。洪市长听后眼睛亮了起来：“我说呢……好，你做得对，我完全同意。要是攻破大军子这条防线，就什么都好办了。你的总体策略是对的，但还不够，还得进一步麻痹他们……对了，可以把你爱人接来呀……” 当林荫站起来告辞的时候，洪市长与他紧紧握手说：“眼光放远点，不要灰心，他能量再大，一只手也遮不住天。最近我要跟地委专门汇报一下，其中也包括你的问题。不能让领导光听他一个人的。你说得对，要是依着他随便干，清水就让他整完了，将来都难以翻身。不能再让他这么胡搞下去了！” 林荫离开洪市长家的时候，觉得身心热乎乎的，增加了不少力量。苗雨把他送下楼，送到楼外。二人站在蒙蒙的雪粉中，在黑暗中对视着，没有马上告别。沉默片刻，苗雨低声道：“舅舅都跟你说了吧……我希望你知道，你不是孤独的，有很多人在支持你。我也希望……希望你不要改变自己，我们的社会需要你这种人，老百姓需要你这样的人，我……我也喜欢你这样的人！” 林荫的心忽悠了一下，涌出一股难言的感情，可是一时不知说什么才好。就这样在黑暗中站了好一会儿才低声说：“谢谢，我不会让你失望的……你，真的要调走吗？还是不要走吧！” 又沉默片刻，苗雨忽然说出一句：“你要不走，我就不走，你要走，我只能走！” 苗雨说完忽然发出一声哽咽，用手擦了一下眼睛掉头走去。 林荫一下愣住，盯着苗雨的背影，见她走到楼栋口又站住，转过身来，在黑暗中向自己这边看着。他叹口气，用心说了句“对不起”，然后挥挥手掉头走去。当走到大院门口回头看时，见她的身影从楼栋口又走出来，孤独地站在雪地中，向自己的方向看着。 林荫想走回去劝慰她几句，可最后还是忍住了，毅然向远处走去。 远处，齐秦忧郁的歌声传来：“轻轻的我将离开你，请将眼角的泪试去……前方的路虽然太凄迷，请在笑容里为我祝福，虽然迎着风，虽然下着雨，我在风雨之中念着你。没有你的日子里，我会更加珍惜自己，没有我的岁月里你要保重你自己……” 林荫在风雪伴和的歌声中向前走去，再没回头。 可是他知道，这个夜晚的情景自己恐怕很难忘掉。 林荫接受了洪市长的建议。第二天上班后对郝正说：“我就要离开了，最后耍一次特权吧，你派台车，把我爱人接来，让她来陪陪我，也顺便在清水玩玩！” 郝正急忙说：“行，行，林局长你这人就这样，啥特权哪，如今哪个当官的不这样，公家的车就是领导个人的车。好，我马上派老孙去！” 林荫给秀云打了电话，没做太多的解释，只是要她来陪自己几天，秀云当然乐于和丈夫在一起，可眼看过年了，家里的事还没办，父亲身体又不好，儿子虽然放了寒假，也需要照顾，怎么能把家一扔就走呢？林荫说：“让你妹妹来咱们家照顾几天吧，我非常需要你！” 听了这话，秀云当天下午就来到了清水。 其实，清水真没什么好玩的地方，万书记把世纪工程吹得天花乱坠，可现在还是半啦茬子，最后啥结果还不知道。因此，秀云来后的第二天一早，又提出要去灵幻寺，林荫痛快地答应了。吃罢早饭，换上便衣，跟方政委打个招呼，就领着秀云出了办公楼，打个出租车，悄然出城去了灵幻寺。 林荫对佛学没什么研究，也不相信那一套，对诵经念佛也没有兴趣，对一些人痴心于佛道也觉得不可理解。来清水后工作一直忙得要死，再加上公安局长的身份，所以，除上次陪秀云来，就再没光顾过灵幻寺。他不明白秀云为什么喜欢这里，非要来这里。 这次来和上次来感觉有很大不同，那次是夏季，草木葱茏，香客兴旺，这次却是严寒的冬季，整个山冈都是白雪茫茫，寺庙在白雪的世界中，给人以别样的感觉，香客也不多，寺庙难得地寂寥。 也许是心境的关系，林荫走进寺庙，一种异样的感觉油然而生。望着高高的庙宇和座座神像，嗅着悠悠的香火气息，他忽然感到个人生命的空寂与渺小，感觉到在人世外确实好象还有一个世界，而这个世界虽然寂寞，却更为广大，更为宁静，更为平安。他忽然想长久地在这里呆一段时间，好好地思考一下，思考生活和生命，感受一下这寂寞、空旷和平安。他忽然有点理解那些香客、那些离却家庭、挥去青丝、皈依空门的人了。 秀云进庙后，又买了一拄香，走入偏寺，把香火点燃插入香炉，然后双手合十，双目微闭，虔诚地跪于菩团上。每个人有每个人的需要和信仰，这里是宣泄心灵的地方，不应再设篱笆，随她去吧。林荫这么想着，悄悄退出庙外。 就在这时，一种声音传来，从空中传来，从遥远的空中传来。林荫感到灵魂一下被这声音击中了。 这是什么声音啊？似吟似歌，非吟非歌，听不清词汇，只感到声音，这声音好象来自天外，又好象发自心底。悲苦、无奈、慈悲、呼唤、启示……这不是人间的声音，却又是对人间的呼唤。林荫身体象被电击中一样站在那里不动了，继而下意识地向声音的方向挪动脚步。 他看见，一座大庙中走出几十名僧人，皆着褚色袈裟，双手合十，分成两队，缓缓向一个较小的寺房走去。仔细打量一下，其中的一队还是削发的女人。林荫注意到，他（她）们中的多数都有一副不幸的面孔，想来一定曾受过人间的磨难后遁入空门。那么，他们为什么会不幸，是谁造成了他们不幸？来到这里，是否就能摆脱不幸，就能寻找到幸福…… 在男女僧人的后边还跟着几十个俗人，男女老少都有，也都双手合十，低头垂目，缓步前行。大约就是所谓的俗家弟子吧！ 声音正是来自这支队伍，来自这些僧人和俗家弟子口中。 队伍最前面是三个人：两个年纪较大的和尚陪着一个黑衣俗家男子的背影。黑衣男子手中托着一个方盘，盘中盛放着什么，因为离得远看不清楚。这支队伍就在三人的带领下，走进了一座不大的庙宇，在门外停下来，只有两个为首的和尚和那个黑衣男子进入敞开的寺庙中。在绵绵无尽的佛号声中，俗家男子在两个和尚的指点下，把托盘奉与佛像下，点燃香烛，然后双手合十，訇然拜倒，久久不起。 佛吟喻强，绵绵不断，悲天悯人。林荫用心灵倾听着这声音，感受着这声音，目睹着这一切。他忽然感到自己离开了尘世，离得很远，超脱地站在高高的空中俯视着人世，俯视着眼前的一切，感到生命的虚无。在这一瞬间，他忽然想到，自己到清水一年来身荷重负，日夜挣扎拼搏，到底有什么意义呢？Why?啊，怪不得人们要建立寺庙，怪不得有很多人相信这些。这确实是人的一种需要啊，心灵的需要啊！ 佛号声声，回响在冬日的晴空，回响在灵幻寺中，也回响在人的心中，把人心灵深处、潜意识中的悲哀与无奈都诱发出来。林荫忽然有一种要流泪的感觉。他站在原地一动不动，想永久地听下去，生怕这声音被惊动而消失。 许久，黑衣男子才站起来，随着两个和尚走出寺殿，带着整个队伍向侧方走去，拐过墙角，渐渐消失，那声音也才渐渐中断。 林荫这才渐渐清醒过来，也这才发现，自己跟前不知何时已经站了好几十名男女香客，每个人都和自己一样，怅然若失地望着那支队伍消失的方向，久久回不过神来。 林荫好一会儿才挪动有点冻僵的脚，走向偏寺，见一柱香已经快烧尽，秀云还跪在菩团上，同时，在她旁边的菩团上，也跪着一个年轻女性。林荫轻轻叫了声秀云，却发现旁边那个女性脊背抖了一下，两个女人同时站起来，转过身，林荫看清其人，吃了一惊，还以为看错了眼。 原来是陶素素。此时，她和秀云一样，眼里也满是泪水。This…… 陶素素和林荫目光相对，一时也怔住。但眼睛瞥了一下旁边的秀云，马上清醒过来，擦了一下眼睛，向前迈了一步轻声道：“林局长，您也来了？！” 林荫没有回答陶素素的话，因为他忽然意识到了什么，不由怒从心头起，答非所问地大声道：“刚才那个做佛事的，是……大军子？” 陶素素点点头。 怒不可遏。妈的，原来是他！他来干什么？做佛事？求佛保佑？真是笑话，这是对佛祖的亵渎，自己还为之感动呢，闹半天是这个恶棍，真是个极大的讽刺。 陶素素看着林荫的表情，又看看旁边的秀云，小心地解释着：“我……我是陪他来的，他说……要来这里做场佛事！” 林荫想着刚才的场面，用讥讽的语调问：“场面不小啊，是不是得花不少钱哪？他做佛事干什么？求佛保佑你们？！” 陶素素幽深的黑色眼睛看看林荫，又看看秀云，嘴动了动正想说些什么，忽听外面大军子的喊声传过来：“素素，素素，你在哪儿，咱们该走了……”急忙把嘴闭上向外走去。林荫顿了一下，也拉着秀云向外走去。 走出偏寺，一眼看见大军子正站在侧面围墙的一个小门边，与两个中年僧人告辞。只听一个和尚合十道：“施主走好，贫僧不远送了。郑施主乐善好施，佛祖一定会保佑您的！”大军子则一副虔诚的表情，双手合十道：“请大师留步！”然后扭过头来，望向匆匆陶素素，随之也望见了林荫。 两人目光碰撞到一起，都迟疑一下，然后脚步坚定地向对方走去，走到面对面，眼睛对着眼睛站住，一时谁也不说话。 林荫看出，此时，大军子的眼睛不加掩饰地现出蔑视和挑衅，便用同样的目光回应他。 还是大军子先开口了：“啊，原来是林大局长，您怎么到这里来了？这里可都是善男信女，没您要打击的罪犯哪！” 这正好给了林荫回击的口实：“那可不一定，据我们公安机关掌握，有些罪犯自觉罪孽深重，往往躲到佛门净地，逃脱惩罚。其实，这是痴心妄想，适得其反。佛是无所不知的，哪个恶徒能躲过他的慧眼呢？” 大军子没想到林荫说出这番话来，气焰受挫，可依然冷笑着说：“好，林局长说得真好。只是不知道您来这里干什么？要知道，您可是公安局长，是共产党员哪，据说，共产党员都得是什么唯物主义者。您到这里来是不是违背了信仰啊？” “那可不一定！”林荫说：“虽然我不信佛，对佛的宗旨却明白几分，知道他以慈悲为怀，救人苦难，这与我们公安机关的惩恶扬善职能有相通之处。我到这里来，除了放松一下，还想看看有没有邪恶之徒混迹庙宇，污染这佛门净地！”冷笑一声：“怎么，刚才您做了一场佛事，为了什么？是赎罪，还是祈祷平安……对了，这佛事做得挺大呀，大约也要花钱吧！” 这好象给了大军子口实，他冷笑一声道：“也没花多少，扔了一万元香火钱。这是个小数目，建庙时我捐了几十万呢……其实，佛也是人，也有人性，也喜欢钱。常言说得好，破财消灾吗，拿人钱财，与人消灾。不象有的人，连人性都没有了。我想，这样的人，连佛祖都讨厌他，肯定不会保佑他的！” 林荫冷冷一笑，话锋更利：“是吗？你说的是哪个佛祖？我想，那不是佛，而是妖。要知道，佛是善的化身，而且佛在人的心中，佛无所不在，只要人积德行善，佛自会护佑，相反，有的人坏事做尽，恶贯满盈，却奢望花几个赃钱，建个庙宇，做个佛事来求得平安，真是可笑。我想，那只会招来佛祖的厌恶，到头来落个可悲的下场！” "you……" 大军子终于被激怒了，气得说不出话来。他拳头握紧向前迈了一步，好象要动武的样子。林荫也不示弱，也向前迈了一步，迎着他的目光。可是，他们都被身边的女人抓住了。 大军子就坡下驴，冷笑一声：“好，姓林的，我不跟你说。最后的结局谁也说不清，可眼前的下场谁都看到了，走着瞧！”说完扭头向寺外走去。 林荫眼睛死死地盯着大军子的背影，直到他走出寺庙。 秀云使劲拉着林荫的胳膊，有些害怕地说：“林荫，他是谁呀，这么恶，怪吓人的！” 林荫拍了拍秀云的胳膊：“不要怕，对恶人不能怕，越怕他越恶，要跟他们斗！” 秀云又问：“那个女人是谁，长得真漂亮。她看你的眼光怎么不对劲儿？” 林荫被问得一愣：“怎么不对劲儿了，我怎么没觉出来？” 秀云：“你们男人知道什么……对了，她到底是谁呀……” 寺外，大军子和陶素素上了轿车，顺着蜿蜒的山路向下驶去。大军子的手直发抖，几次差点把车开出正路，栽下悬崖，气得他一拍方向盘骂道：“妈的，让他滚蛋真便宜了他，应该让他把命留在清水！” 陶素素心抖了一下，轻声问：“这……就不会有变化了吗？地委不是没开会吗！” 大军子：“有什么变化，已经内定了，开会只是走个形式，过完年他就滚蛋了！我早说过，这清水的天下姓郑，别看他是公安局长，遂我的心让他多干几天，不遂我的心，就让他滚蛋！” 陶素素不再说话，只感到心向无底的深渊沉去。心中暗道：佛祖啊，你如果有灵，现在就让这车翻下悬崖，把这个恶魔摔死，让我跟他陪葬也心甘情愿啊！ 她觉得，自己的耐心已经到了极限。 这些日子，她从他们的行动中感到了一些异常。尽管他们还是那么猖狂，一副若无其事的样子，可她感到了他们心底的恐慌。林荫说得一点都不错，他今天到庙里来做佛事就是这种心态的流露。另外一个人也是如此，他无法公开出面，就让自己替他向佛祖祈祷。可是他没有想到，自己祈祷的是让佛祖快点使他们受到惩罚。就象现在祈祷的这样。 可是，什么事也没有发生，大军子驾着车平安地回到清水城中。看来，佛祖也对这些恶
