Chapter 20 Chapter Nineteen

seventy eight After a short silence, Huang Jiangbei said to Tian Manfang, "You can announce that on behalf of Mr. Ge." Tian Manfang backed off and said, "You guys should announce it." Secretary Lin said: "Of course the people in your company have to announce it. We dare not take the credit for this." Huang Jiangbei said: "Announce." Tian Manfang hesitated for a moment, took the microphone and announced: "On this happy day, I would like to tell you a piece of good news. After the completion of the new school building of Lishugou Primary School, all the people of Zhangtai City made another contribution to the children in the mountainous area of ​​Linzhong County. Five new Hope Primary Schools were built, and they were also completed today. After careful study, the board of directors of Wanfang Company decided to donate the first car we produced to the City Hope Project Foundation... Now our car is going to Lishugou Let’s go and bring all the teachers and students of Lishugou Primary School to our venue, and let them spend this happy day with all our distinguished journalists and all the employees of Wanfang Company.”

The applause sounded like a storm again.Afterwards, many people recalled that they had never heard such loud applause in Zhangtai for many years.At this moment, Tian Weidong walked in.Both Tian Manfang and Huang Jiangbei were surprised, but he calmly found a corner, sat down, and wrote a note, which was passed on.Tian Manfang opened the note and saw that it said: "Tell Huang Jiangbei that I will look for him after the meeting." Tian Manfang dropped the ball of paper. So Tian Weidong wrote a second note and passed it directly to Huang Jiangbei. Huang Jiangbei then announced a 20-minute break.Because the teachers and children in Lishugou will arrive in about twenty minutes. "Outside the conference hall, Wanfang Company has prepared some snacks and drinks for everyone, please feel free to use some." The reporters left their seats one after another, chatting and laughing in small groups, and walked out of the hall.Huang Jiangbei tidied up the things on the table, then walked out the side door.

Tian Manfang hurriedly followed.But when she hurried out of the side door, she couldn't find Huang Jiangbei.I searched around and couldn't find it. Tian Weidong took Huang Jiangbei to a small dressing room at the back of the conference hall. "Uncle Huang, I'm here to say goodbye to you..." "Let's go? The Tian family's affairs are not over yet." "I've seen through this family, and I can't do anything about it..." "Why do you say that? Something happened to your brother, but it doesn't mean that your whole family has problems."

"Don't play tricks on me, you don't know better than me." "What do I know?" "The last 16.7 million questions..." "Is it also your brother's account?" "You really don't know, or are you playing with me here?" "I've been working with cars these days, I almost forgot my last name, why are you kidding me?" "Ge Ping came back, old man Zheng came back, they didn't say anything to you? Aren't they always under your control?" "What's the matter? I don't have time to soak mushrooms with you. Tell me."

"Okay, then let's not talk about the one million yuan issue. I'm leaving anyway. In China, I have nothing to leave behind, but there is someone I want to ask you to take care of for me..." Huang Jiangbei stopped laughing: "I'm sorry... who is that?" "Zhangtai people." "Oh, who?" "Tian Manfang." "Look after her, you're funny!" "Can you help me with this?" "..." "Help her. She was also involved in all those things of our Tian family, but she let our Tian family be destroyed. More specifically, I don't have time to tell you today. I just ask you to stand at the critical moment. From your vantage point, help her. You know her well, she is not a bad person. Give her a good world, with a group of good people leading her, she is able and willing to do many good things, can do Do a lot of big things that even men like us can't do, don't let her ruin it. She has a special affection for you..."

"Okay! Anything else to say?" "I don't ask you for anything else... The Tian family is over..." Tian Weidong took out a few miniature cassettes: "I recorded the stories of myself and my family in these cassettes. Listening to it when you are free can also help you relieve boredom. However, there are two sentences here, every word is bloody. One sentence is that in my life of the first twenty years, God sent me Tian Manfang, but I didn’t let me get her. When I was about to end the life of more than 20 years and start a new life, God let me know you again, but forced me to leave you in a hurry. Life It is always difficult to draw a perfect circle, this is true for that Ah Q a hundred years ago, and it will probably be the same for you and me a hundred years later...It is difficult to be an official...Okay, it's time to go ..."

Tian Weidong left.Huang Jiangbei looked at the several boxes of beautifully decorated cassette tapes left by Tian Weidong, and suddenly felt very cold and uncomfortable.At this time, someone outside was shouting hurriedly: "Mayor Huang, Mayor Huang..." Huang Jiangbei rushed out to greet him.Six or seven people, including Arita Manfang and Secretary Gao, who came to look for Huang Jiangbei, all of them looked flustered and out of breath.I saw Xiao Gao: "Mayor Huang, it's not good... that car... overturned into a ravine..." When Huang Jiangbei, Secretary Lin and other leading comrades rushed to the scene of the accident by car, the narrow and steep mountain road was already crowded with ambulances from various hospitals in the city.And of course lots of police cars, officers and dogs.Most of the wounded have been loaded into ambulances, and some must be treated with emergency medical treatment at the scene.TV news reporters are rushing to film live news.

The car that rolled over to the bottom of the ravine was still burning, billowing thick smoke. Hua Suisui's body lay beside the mountain road.She also hugged a little girl tightly, stray ribbons hanging from her disheveled hair, and her rouged and lipsticked face was stained with blood again. The seriously injured driver was completely terrified, trembling aside, dazed.After the news spread, the villagers in Lishugou ran to the scene of the accident like crazy.The Zhangtai Evening News published the news that night, and the public reading board was crowded with people, and the people who read the newspaper fell silent.The city's TV station broadcast the scene of the accident in the city's news that night. The announcer couldn't restrain his grief, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.She reported with almost sobs: "Because of this accident, all the students in Lishugou Primary School were either killed or injured. Hua Suisui, an excellent teacher at the city level of the school, died on the spot. The injured driver and students have been sent to various hospitals in the city. For rescue, the Provincial Party Committee, the Provincial Government, and the Provincial Military Region have ordered the provincial capital and the hospitals affiliated to the army to immediately send the strongest medical force to Zhangtai with the necessary medical equipment and medicines to participate in the rescue. As of the time of publishing, the latest information obtained from the hospital News, the death toll has been suppressed..."

In the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee, Ge Huiyuan, who was watching the news of the city with his comrades from Beijing held his breath, stood up with a bang before the news was finally broadcast. Pipe...brake pipe..." The comrades from Beijing hurriedly asked, "What brake pipe?" Ge Huiyuan's face was livid, and he was just muttering: "Brake pipe...brake pipe..." His legs gave way, and he passed out. Afterwards, it was found that this car accident, which shocked hundreds of thousands of Zhangtai people and caused them to fall from heaven to hell, was indeed caused by the brake pipe, as Ge Huiyuan asserted at the time.

That day the car drove into the lining of Lishugou.In Lishugou, firecrackers blared, gongs and drums blared, and the villagers stuffed boiled and red-painted egg buns into the cab.Hua Suisui was busy giving the girls Yu Xu rouge lipstick, tied ribbons, and led the thirty children into the car. When the gongs, drums, and whistle teams from Lishugou Village were still playing vigorously on the row of stone-built high platforms, the car was sliding down faster and faster, and the driver became more and more nervous.Soon, the driver found that the brakes failed.He tried a few times, but he couldn't control the car that was sliding faster and faster.The car started roaring like a furious guy, rushing down the hill.

seventy-nine The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided that all government agencies, stores, industrial and mining enterprises, troops, and school families in the city will fly their flags at half-mast for the teachers and students of Lishugou Primary School who died.At the same time, the cold rain of early winter fell... Immediately after the accident, the Municipal Party Committee held an enlarged meeting of the Standing Committee, and the working group from Beijing also participated.They talked with Ge Huiyuan to get a preliminary understanding of the cause of the accident.Huang Jiangbei did not attend the meeting at that time, he has been in charge of dealing with the aftermath of the accident at the scene. "Old Ge, don't be too burdened with your thoughts. The municipal party committee and the central working group all know that you have always opposed the use of such inferior brake tubes. What happened later that made you, an old technical expert, change your original intention and go to work again?" Agree to use it?" Secretary Lin said so, and the comrades from Beijing said: "Mr. Ge, the matter has developed to this point, I think you should understand the seriousness of it, and you should explain the whole story in a realistic manner." Ge Huiyuan just said: "I'm guilty...," The comrades from Beijing said: "The most important thing now is that you have to help the organization to find out the truth. A series of strange and shocking things have happened in Zhangtai in recent years. It has greatly affected the enthusiasm of the people for reform and opening up. Great damage has hindered the rapid economic growth of Zhangtai City. If the root causes of these problems are not clarified, the work of Zhangtai City will not be able to make a real difference. The central and provincial committees are determined to figure out the root cause, and the municipal party committee also has this determination , you should completely stand on the side of the central government and the provincial and municipal committees to solve this problem. This should be your original intention, what do you think?" Ge Huiyuan said: "I am guilty..." Secretary Lin said: "Old Ge, Lao Ge, the leaders of the municipal party committee and the comrades from Beijing came to talk to you today, not to hold you accountable. Of course you are responsible for this matter, but the most important thing now is Find out where the real root of the problem is...to solve the problem fundamentally. If the matter involves someone like me, Lin, you should also explain it directly to the comrades from Beijing..." Ge Huiyuan hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you have been living in the hospital...you have no time to commit crimes..." The comrade from Beijing said: "I heard that someone put pressure on you at that time, telling you to use these batches of brake pipes that were not of substandard quality. Is there such a thing?" Ge Huiyuan hurriedly said: "No... definitely not..." As soon as he got home, Lu Hua yelled at him again: "How can you take everything on yourself? Twenty or thirty lives! Have you thought about this family for me? Everyone knows that when you first started It was against the purchase of this kind of inferior brake pipe, what happened later, you agreed to purchase this kind of product again? You go and explain it clearly to others, this kind of thing is not ambiguous!" eighty that night.In the home of the county magistrate Qu in Linzhong County, women's cries could be heard from the back room from time to time.The restless Magistrate Qu yelled, "Cry! I haven't been arrested yet, so what are you doing?" At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Magistrate Qu picked up the phone impatiently: "Who is there? (Hurrying to cover the phone, gritted his teeth, and sternly turned to the door) Stop yelling, Vice Governor Tian wants to talk to me." The crying in the door disappeared immediately. "... I see, okay... I'll go right away... I understand... Don't worry." After a while, Magistrate Qu hurriedly left Linzhong County in a car and drove towards the city. The car drove to Secretary Lin's house and stopped. Secretary Lin also just came home.For some reason, he didn't want to stay in the hospital tonight.He wanted to come home, to sit for a while on the sun lounger that had been used for decades.He was also afraid of the emptiness and monotony in the hospital, and he didn't expect that Lao Qu would come to him overnight to expose Huang Jiangbei. "At that time, Huang Jiangbei personally wrote a note asking Mr. Ge to use this batch of brake hoses. This approval note was handed over to Mr. Ge through my hands. How can we know what brake hoses are or not, but you Huang Jiangbei should understand. You are a college student, so you should check it out." Secretary Lin stared blankly at Magistrate Qu.County Magistrate Qu said: "Stop mumbling again. The truth of the matter is like this. Huang Jiangbei is to be held fully responsible for this matter. Just now Lao Tian made a phone call himself and talked about it. Huang Jiangbei was strongly recommended by him at the provincial standing committee to come to Zhangtai, but Lao Tian was very disappointed with the performance of this kid after he arrived in Zhangtai. Laotian said that he should catch this brake pipe incident and educate this Huang Jiangbei well. Don't hesitate any longer. Let me say it again, I handed over the batch of slips to Ge Huiyuan myself, and they must still be in Ge Huiyuan's hands. What Lao Tian meant was the same, hurry up and find a way to get these batches of slips, this is The most solid evidence, hurry up and give it to the group of people from Beijing... let them also be sober, in Zhangtai, who should be investigated." Secretary Lin was taken aback, raised his head again, and gave Magistrate Qu a startled look.Afterwards, he sat blankly for a long time.Sudden.He got up and put on his coat, ignoring his wife's inquiries, just put on his clothes, put a lot of various medicines in the small cabinet into his leather bag, and hurried to the door.When I got to the door, I turned around and said to my wife, "Whoever comes looking for him, tell them that Lao Lin is in the hospital, and the doctor won't let him take care of things. Otherwise, don't say anything." My wife's lips twitched a bit, but she still didn't dare to speak out. Secretary Lin quickly walked downstairs. Outside the gate, his special car was waiting for him. When he reached the corner of the stairs, he suddenly slowed down and seemed to be heavy, his legs and feet were too weak to take a step.Holding on to the banister of the stairs, he rested for a long time, and he also hesitated fiercely for a long time. Finally, he still walked out of the gate. The car drove smoothly on the empty street.He closed his eyes tiredly and sat on the back seat motionless.The car drove into the gate of the hospital.The car drove to the front of the high-level inpatient department building and stopped.The driver opened the car door for Secretary Lin. After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Secretary Lin still closed his eyes and sat motionless on the back seat.It can be seen that Secretary Lin is very contradictory at the moment.After a while, he sat up suddenly and said to the driver, "Drive." The driver was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. drive away. He went to find Zheng Yanzhang.Before him, Ge Ping also rushed to tell Zheng Yanzhang that Qu County Magistrate and Tian Weiming, with two or three people, went to her house to find her father.I hope her father will hand over something about Huang Jiangbei.After learning that the overturned car had caused a major accident, Tian Weiming was very excited. He felt that the time had come for him to be released from the ban, while the "fucking prudish" Huang Jiangbei who put his brother under house arrest had come to an end.Really overnight, it has become the trend of "Hedong for 30 years, Hexi for 30 years". As soon as the central working group arrived at Zhangtai, they summoned Zheng Yanzhang and asked him to compile a written report without any omissions as soon as possible.So he found a small hotel in Nancheng, trying to be quiet, and hid there to write the first "big article" of his life. "Huang Jiangbei is mainly responsible for this accident?" he asked Ge Ping. "I don't know..." Ge Ping replied worriedly, "Someone seems to want to spread the flames on Huang Jiangbei, divert the attention of the central working group from them, and use the children's blood to cover their own crimes." "Have you approached the main leaders of the municipal party committee? What do they think of this matter?" Zheng Yanzhang put away his stack of official papers and asked. "I called Secretary Lin's home. His wife said he was hospitalized." "What? He's in the hospital again? How could he be in the hospital again at this time?" Zheng Yanzhang stood up excitedly and shouted, "Is he still in the high-ranking ward of the People's Hospital?" "Maybe." Zheng Yanzhang was disappointed: "It really doesn't delay anything, the seat is still occupied, and I'm still thinking about good things. What do you think our Zhangtai can expect?" "Who are you talking about? Who is hopeless? Why do you always have so many complaints and nonsense? Huh?" Someone smiled and muttered, and walked in.Zheng Yanzhang and Ge Pingping hurriedly turned their heads to see that it was Secretary Lin, so they were stunned. Zheng Yanzhang looked at Secretary Lin, then at Ge Ping, and finally turned his head to look at Secretary Lin again and said, "Didn't you go to the hospital?" Secretary Lin said: "Who told you that I was hospitalized? Who made this rumor? You, Zheng Yanzhang, can't listen to anything but bad things about me!" Ge Ping quickly made a cup of tea and said, "Uncle Lin, drink some water." "Mayor Huang is responsible for the car accident in Lishugou?" Zheng Yanzhang asked staringly. Secretary Lin received the freshly brewed tea from Ge Ping, and sat with his head bowed in silence for a while: "Let's not talk about this for now. You Zheng Yanzhang sang a good show a while ago, but it's a pity that I, the secretary, didn't applaud me. Don't think it's lively enough. How about I give you two applause today? Don't argue with me, don't think that I will celebrate your success, and I won't even give you a small compliment. If all The head of the anti-corruption bureau is doing the same thing as you, disbanding all municipal committees in various places as soon as possible. Let me tell you, Zheng Yanzhang, I still have to settle this account with you. What a great effect, I must settle this account with you! Don't cock your tail with me..." "Secretary Lin, even if I were killed, I wouldn't dare to raise my tail in front of you, aren't you..." "Okay, let's stop talking about this. I want to ask you now, these days, how well have you verified the information provided by Ge Ping? Tell me with certainty!" "I'm putting together...in a day or two, I'll have a written report." "The written report belongs to the written report. Now I want you to tell me clearly, who is behind Dong Xiujuan and Yu Yefeng?"
