Chapter 39 Flying Daggers

A phone call came to Yingping, saying that the province was coming to investigate.Fan Mule panicked first, so he quickly called Hu Guoqing. After Hu Guoqing answered the phone, he pondered for a moment and said, "Come here right away." What kind of person is Hu Guoqing? After putting down the phone, he understood that this must be the result of that person surnamed Cai's activities outside!Once this counterfeit cigarette case is handed over, then, in a short time, it will definitely be a major event and a trivial matter.Coupled with the fact that Wang Huaxin gave them advice and allowed them to develop, they don't know what else will happen.Once the province intervenes, I'm afraid that even the money for dealing with counterfeit cigarettes will have to be handed over.After a lot of messing around, running around, maybe it will return to the hands of the surname Cai.The county has made such a big effort, but the result is that the bamboo basket fetches water in vain!But here, he has already spoken out, what will happen to the teacher's salary then?Doesn't that mean he is bragging and slapping himself in the face? !Besides, during this period of time, complaint letters were flying all over the place!Rumors have spread in the county.Some people even said that Hu Guoqing had secretly gone to the corner shop to ask for bribes, but because he opened his mouth too much, he didn't agree, so he went to check on them.Some people even said that it was a dog biting a dog!

Hu Guoqing thought to himself, it seems that the situation is very serious! So, when Fan Mule arrived, Director Yang of the County Public Security Bureau was also summoned by him.After the two of them sat down on the sofa, Hu Guoqing said to Fan Mule at the beginning: "You report the situation of the counterfeit cigarette case in the bend shop to Director Yang." Shidi told Director Yang about the counterfeiting and selling of counterfeit goods in the corner shop.Then, Hu Guoqing gave serious instructions: "Director Yang, this is a case worth over 100 million yuan, and the higher authorities attach great importance to it. The counterfeiting and selling of counterfeit goods has solid evidence, and the impact is extremely bad. Recently, I heard that the person surnamed Cai was running around , moving around, you first detain that person surnamed Cai for me!"

Unexpectedly, Director Yang said: "Secretary Hu, it seems that this matter is not a personal problem. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for the police to come forward?" Hu Guoqing had a sullen face and didn't say a word for a long time.He knew in his heart that Director Yang was also the cadre Wang Huaxin mentioned, and he probably knew something about the situation in the bend shop, otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.So, Hu Guoqing turned his back and said softly, "Old Fan, you go out first." Fan Mule withdrew wisely.Immediately afterwards, Hu Guoqing walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.Wherever he went, Director Yang's eyes followed him, but Hu Guoqing didn't look at him at all, he just kept walking... After a while, he waited for him to build up his momentum before suddenly turning around, Straightforwardly, he said to Director Yang: "Old Yang, I just want to ask you one thing. Are you listening to the county party committee? Or Wang Huaxin?!"

This sentence is too fierce, too direct!Immediately, Director Yang was sweating.Beads of sweat appeared on his head, and the beads of sweat gathered on his forehead, like bean curd, blooming one by one... After a while, he finally raised his head and said, "I listened to the county party committee. .” Hu Guoqing said: "Okay then, you should detain him immediately and change places in three days, and no one is allowed to touch him!" Director Yang hesitated for a moment, and said, "I will carry out the detainment, but I only have fifteen days of authority. If it exceeds fifteen days, I have to report to the procuratorate..."

Hu Guoqing waved his hand and said, "You will deal with the technical issues. Make sure you bring him back today!" Director Yang couldn't help but put his feet together and said, "Yes." As soon as Director Yang left, Hu Guoqing called Fan Mule back and said: "After the provincial investigation team arrives, your task is to accompany them to eat well, live well, and play well. Remember, the key is to procrastinate." Hold them, don't let them know anything." Fan Mule said, "Don't worry about that. But what if they chase after you?" Hu Guoqing said bluntly, "Just push it to me."

At noon, Hu Guoqing was still worried, so he hung up another call to Director Yang of the County Public Security Bureau.Director Yang said on the phone that he was mobilizing the police force.Because Wandian is a big village, I am afraid that there will be unexpected situations if there are fewer people.Upon hearing this, Hu Guoqing frowned.Immediately tell the phone to cancel this operation immediately!Director Yang was in a hurry, what's the matter?Call secretary, do you not trust me? !Hu Guoqing explained, it's not that he doesn't believe you.You have a point.I am also afraid of unexpected situations. What if I am surrounded by crowds?How about this, you bring two people to me immediately and stand by on the spot.

After putting down the phone, Hu Guoqing pondered for a moment, then hung up on Fan Mule and asked him to come over immediately.So, Fan Mule left his job and rushed over again.Hu Guoqing hurriedly said to Fan Mule: "You take my car now and go to the bend shop. You go alone, and invite me the man surnamed Cai, and say that I want to talk to him." Fan Mule said, "Will he come?" Hu Guoqing said: "You must get him here. You just say that you invited him to talk to him about the auction of machinery and equipment. He will come." After Fan Mule left, Hu Guoqing was still a little uneasy.Of course he knew that the person surnamed Cai was not a simple person.He has been manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods for so many years, and it has become a thing of the past.The "100 million yuan village" was not called out for nothing.He has easy money, and he spreads it easily.Besides, this person surnamed Cai is a well-known generous person. If so, who knows how many high-level people he bribed? !Besides Wang Huaxin, is there someone more powerful behind him?This is inevitable.If he got the news and ran away, it would be hard to tell.He felt that since this matter was done, he had to think more carefully, and he had to be 120% sure...

Hu Guoqing thought about it, weighed it over and over again, and finally hung up another call to Feng Yunshan, the deputy editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper.After the phone rang three times, a lazy voice came from the receiver: "Which one?" Hu Guoqing hurriedly said, "Is it Teacher Feng? I'm Guo Qing." Immediately, the voice on the phone changed, Feng Yunshan said to the microphone very enthusiastically: "Oh, it's the National Day. National Day, I heard you've become the 'old one'? Congratulations! You don't invite me to your place to have fun on this National Day." Hu Guoqing said : "Teacher Feng, I just invited you this time. I formally invite you to come to Yingping... No, I'm not being polite, I mean it sincerely. Listen to me, we have a god-man here recently. Yes, It’s true... I’ve tried it. It’s massage with gong. It’s been massaged by national leaders. Yes, yes, music is played. It's "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix", it's perfect! Don't you have a bad waist? Come here for a while, take a bath in the sauna, let him give you a good massage, I will arrange everything!..." Feng Yunshan happily Said: "Is this true?" Hu Guoqing said: "I will send a car to pick you up in the province immediately." Feng Yunshan said to the phone: "That's no need, I will drive." Hu Guoqing urged again: "Well, you must come!"

Putting down the phone, Hu Guoqing called the secretary again and asked him to quickly prepare two materials, one in detail, for the provincial newspaper to publish publicly; the other in brief, for Editor Feng to take back as a The 'internal reference' was sent to the top.The topic must be clear, and the content is the fake cigarette case in Wandian Village... After hearing this, the secretary didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly prepared the materials. Waiting until half past four in the afternoon, the phone rang suddenly! When the phone rang, for a moment, Hu Guoqing stood there in a daze, as if he didn't know whether to answer the call or not.He thought, what if someone ran away?

At this time, time did not allow him to think too much.When the bell rang for the sixth time, he walked forward quickly, and when he grabbed the microphone, it was like holding a burning coal!He said loudly into the microphone: "I am Hu Guoqing." At this moment, the microphone said: "Secretary Hu, the guests are here." Hu Guoqing cursed secretly, and then said: "Where is the person?" The report on the phone said: "He has arrived at the county seat. Don't you want to talk to him?" Hu Guoqing said: "You hand him over to Director Yang immediately, and after handing it over to Director Yang, you don't care about it."

So, this Mr. Cai, named Cai Huazhi, was sent to a detention center in a neighboring county in a daze after half an hour.He had just been taken away, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the provincial investigation team arrived in Yingping County with five members, and the leader was naturally Director Mei of the Tobacco Bureau. That night, Hu Guoqing set up a banquet in person to welcome Director Mei and his party.In Hall 0 of the County Party Committee Guest House, there was a very sumptuous feast: "Moutai" on the wine, "Great China" on the cigarette (really)!The main course is the "big lobster" airlifted from the south...Fan Mule, who was accompanying him, specially introduced to Director Mei: "In our Yingping, this is the highest standard of reception. There is no No. 1 hall here, and No. 1 is not good." No? In our Yingping, No. 0 is No. 1, which means complete and perfect, and it is only used by the 'Old One' in person. Unless there are distinguished guests from the province, you can't get into No. 0..." Hu Guoqing interrupted him and said, "Why are you telling the provincial leaders these things? Have the leaders eaten anything? The main thing is to cooperate with the leaders in their work." Fan Mule hurriedly said, "That's right. I just said a few words to show that the county committee attaches great importance to it..." Hu Guoqing picked up the wine and said: "The provincial leaders came to Yingping to guide the work, can the county party committee not pay attention? Stop talking, Director Mei, I toast you three glasses!" For a while, the cups came and went, and the wind blew away. The heads of the County Tobacco Bureau came up to toast in turn, and they didn't say anything, only one word: "Drink!" After drinking for three rounds, Hu Guoqing stood up and said, "Director Mei, excuse me, I have a meeting." Director Mei had just arrived and was already drowsy, so he said, "You're busy, you're busy." But Hu Guoqing turned around and instructed Fan Mule: "Old Fan, I just ask you one thing. For the work of the provincial investigation team, you need people to give people, and you need cars to give cars. Fully cooperate!" Director Mei stood up and said with a pun, "With your words, I feel relieved." Hu Guoqing left Hall 0, turned around and went to another private room upstairs.The sign on the door of the elegant room is "Hall No. 2".Pushing open the door, I saw another sumptuous banquet: "Moutai" was still on the wine, and "Great China" was on the cigarette (really)!The main course was of course the "big lobster" brought in by air... The guest was Feng Yunshan, deputy editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper who had just arrived, accompanied by Minister Xu and others from the Propaganda Department of the county party committee.After entering the door, Hu Guoqing rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and shook hands with Feng Yunshan: "Mr. Feng, I'm really sorry, I have a meeting, and I am a step late." Feng Yunshan smiled and said: "It's not too late, it's not too late, I am too Just arrived." After Hu Guoqing sat down, Minister Xu, who was accompanying him, also hurriedly introduced: "Mr. Feng, this is the highest standard of reception in our Yingping. We don't have No. 1 hall here, and No. 1 is not good. No? In our Yingping, No. 2 is actually No. 1, which is only used by the 'Old One' in person. Unless there are VIPs from the province, you can't get into No. 2..." Hu Guoqing criticized again: "What are you talking about? Mr. Feng, the editor-in-chief of the provincial newspaper, have you never seen it? Haven't you eaten it? In the eyes of Mr. Feng, what is this? Our small place in Yingping, there is nothing you want. If I hadn't called in person, would you have invited Teacher Feng?" Minister Xu nodded repeatedly and said, "That is, that is." Feng Yunshan smiled reservedly and said, "It's too rich, too rich. A banquet with lobster like this would cost thousands of yuan for a table in the provincial capital. Thank you, thank you." Hu Guoqing said: "Let's stop gossiping and pour wine. Teacher Feng won't come easily. I have to have a good drink with him!" Feng Yunshan immediately said: "Alcohol is not acceptable. I have high blood pressure and my liver is not good. The doctor forbids me to drink too much." Then, he hinted, "The 'God Man' can be seen." Hu Guoqing said: "That's no problem. Eat first, and I will accompany you tonight!" Hearing this, Feng Yunshan was happy, and said, "National Day, is there any task to publish in the newspaper? If there is, I will post it when I get back!" Hu Guoqing said casually, "I'll talk about it later, I'll talk about it later." The next day, when Director Mei woke up, his head was still dizzy.Looking at the watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, but no one came from the county.Director Mei's face immediately sank.It wasn't until half past eleven that Fan Mule arrived in a hurry.As soon as he entered the door, he said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm late." Director Mei's face was dark, and he didn't say a word.Fan Mule said: "Director Mei, I'm really sorry. Last night, there was a car accident in the bureau and several people were injured..." Hearing what he said, Director Mei's expression slowly recovered, and he said, "We You come here for work. If you want something, you can ask other comrades to come." Fan Mule said: "The people at the grassroots level have never seen anything in the world, and I'm afraid they won't take good care of them..." Director Mei said: " Well, start working in the afternoon!" Fan Mule looked up at his watch and said, "Eat first, eat first." That's it, after a few words, he led the group to the restaurant again.This time, Fan Mule specially called a "wine basket".In the plains, it can be said that all counties have such "wine baskets". The "wine basket" is specially here to accompany the guests, as long as the "wine basket" is on the table, it must be drunk. Unexpectedly, after the dishes were served, Director Mei suddenly changed his face and said seriously: "From today on, I won't drink a single drop of wine." Fan Mule stood up embarrassingly, and said cautiously: "Director Mei, You are a superior leader, and when you come to Yingping, if you don’t drink a drop of wine, I can’t tell the county party committee. Let’s do as the Romans do. You can’t drink too much, so drink less.” At this time, the “wine basket” stood up, "Jiulan" said: "Director Mei, you are a big leader from the province. When you come to our small Yingping county, you are a distinguished guest! You can't even invite eight sedan chairs. You don't need to drink wine. You have to listen to my 'jokes'. I'll tell you three 'nasty jokes'. After I tell you, if anyone doesn't laugh, I'll drink up all the wine on the table. After I drink up, I'll stand up and go Let's go, never embarrass the leader again! Is this okay? Why are you here in Yingping, so we still have to talk about etiquette, right?" Fan Mule sang and said: "Okay, okay, tell me. Can you tell me? Similarly, if the leader doesn’t smile, what are you going to do?!” “Wine Basket” said: “Didn’t I tell you that if the leader doesn’t smile, I’ll go out of this room with my head down!” So ​​“ "Wine Basket" began to tell his "jokes". After talking about the first one, Director Mei still had a tense face and didn't smile; when he talked about the second one, "Wine Basket" had just finished speaking halfway, when there was a "pop" and a sip of tea came out of Director Mei's mouth. It sprayed out obliquely, and immediately leaned back and forth, and the table was full of laughter! ...Further down, the guests can't help themselves, and the talent of "Wine Basket" has been brought into full play!He first toasts, the second is persuasion, and the third is kneeling (kneeling down in front of guests, holding a glass of wine in both hands, holding it up high, and putting it on his head. Can I not drink it?!)... Just like that, after three bottles of wine, it was a mess! When Director Mei woke up again, the lights were already on.He looked at the four people he had brought, and three of them were still lying on the bed, throwing up a mess!Director Mei said angrily: "This wine is definitely not allowed to be drunk again!" Unexpectedly, they were not allowed to eat dinner in the restaurant, but the waiter brought them to the room one by one.They are thoughtful: each person has a bowl of hangover soup, a bowl of mung bean porridge that has been relieved from the fire, a plate of fried steamed buns, four refreshing side dishes, and fruits, all of which they want to eat.So, there is nothing to complain about. After breakfast the next day, Fan Mule rushed to the guest house with a van and invited them one by one into the car.When the car drove out of the county, Director Mei suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he asked Fan Mule, "Stop! Where are you going?" Wandian is the famous fake billion-dollar village... In addition, there are some historical sites in the local area, I think it is not easy for you to come, so let's take a look at it." Director Mei said with a serious face: "Old Fan , do you want to block us?" Fan Mule said aggrievedly: "Director Mei, you are a big leader from the province, even if I have a hundred heads, I dare not block you?" It seemed very embarrassing, several people looked at Director Mei, and no one dared to say anything. At this time, a woman who came with her spoke. This woman looked to be in her thirties. Her lover was from the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. She probably had some support. She patted Director Mei with a handkerchief and said coquettishly: "Director Mei, don't just put on a stern face every now and then, she has good intentions..." After the woman spoke from the middle, the atmosphere slowly eased again.Director Mei's face became much gentler, and he said, "Old Fan, don't worry about it, I'm also doing it for work." Fan Mule nodded repeatedly and said, "That's, that's. Give me a task." The woman said: "Director Mei, according to Lao Fan's arrangement, go to the bend shop, anyway, sooner or later." Director Mei didn't say anything more. So the van drove down the road on the plain.On the road, here is a scenic spot, there is a scenic spot, here is an allusion, there is an allusion, the car just stops and starts, Fan Mule also brought the camera, just take a picture here, and a scene there... Wait When the car arrived at the bend shop, it was already dark.It was dark, and Director Mei's face was even darker!In the car, facing the lights in front of him, Fan Mule pointed out and said, "There is a bend shop in front, do you still want to see it?" Tired, seeing Director Mei not saying a word, everyone said: "I won't watch it, I won't watch it." In this way, it dragged on for three days.On the fourth day, Hu Guoqing came forward in person.At this time, the provincial newspaper had published a long newsletter on Yingping County's anti-counterfeiting campaign, titled "The First Case in Pingyuan".The guest house delivers newspapers every day, and Director Mei must have read them.Therefore, in front of Director Mei, Hu Guoqing said to Fan Mule: "Have you reported the situation to Director Mei?" What did you do, and you haven't reported it yet? It's shameful! Report it to me now!" Fan Mule nodded his head awkwardly, without explaining.So, a group of people came to the conference room and sat down as guests and hosts. Under the auspices of Hu Guoqing, secretary of the county party committee, Fan Mule read a stack of prepared materials to the provincial investigation team... After he finished reading, Hu Guoqing solemnly said Ask casually, "Is that all the materials?" Fan Mule said, "That's all." I took out a small notebook and a pen, prepared to record, and looked at Director Mei seriously. Director Mei sneered, and said: "The newspapers have been published, what else can I give instructions? If this is the case, let's hand it over. Hand over everything that has been investigated to the investigation team, and then we will review it again." At this time, Hu Guoqing said: "It is said that the superior sent an investigation team. As the next level, we should implement it unconditionally. But now the materials can be handed over, which is no problem. As for the seized things, they cannot be handed over." gone." Director Mei asked, "Why?" Hu Guoqing said: "Director Mei, it's not that I don't want to hand it in. The main reason is that this case has entered the judicial process. Regarding Cai Huazhi, the Public Security Bureau has opened the case for investigation, and the procuratorate has formally completed the procedures for approving his arrest. That is to say, administratively, No right to interfere." Director Mei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately blushed like chicken blood!Then he said three "good" words in a row.Then he stood up and went out without a word.All the people who came with him also filed out... After walking out, Director Mei gritted his teeth and said secretly: It seems that I was defeated by those smiling faces! On the same day, Director Mei took people back to the provincial capital.
