() In a Japanese-style box in the Japanese cuisine restaurant of the Continental Hotel, Lu Zheng is welcoming two brothers, Du Kecheng and Du Keyong, who have just returned from the United States.

Du Xiaodong's mother stayed in the United States to take care of Du Xiaodong. At Foston Hospital in New York, Du Xiaodong received deep brain stimulation treatment. Although Du Kecheng had not been awakened when he left the United States, the doctor said there was great hope. Generally speaking, the doctor can do this. Generally speaking, it is quite sure.

Sure enough, as soon as Du Kecheng got off the plane and returned home, he received a long-distance call from his lover, saying that Xiaodong had opened his eyes, but there were still some problems with his language expression.

And the most gratifying thing is that after consultation with neurologists at Foston Hospital, they believe that Du Xiaodong's spinal nerve compression is relatively optimistic, and the nerve damage is not serious. Surgery and rehabilitation can completely restore Du Xiaodong to normal mobility. At the very least, you don't need to be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

So the haze that Du Kecheng had been suppressing in his heart for many days finally dissipated, and since he saw Lu Zheng, he has repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

At this time, the three of them were sitting cross-legged on the soft couch. Du Kecheng raised his wine glass again and said, "Brother Lu, thanks to your help this time, I don't want to thank you for your kindness, but I will respect you first." drink up

Lu Zheng hurriedly had a drink with him, and said, "Anyway, I was in the car that caused the accident, so I was also partly responsible."

Du Kecheng waved his hand and said with emotion: "Zhengzi, can I call you Zhengzi?" Seeing Lu Zheng nodding his head, he continued: "This is what I'm saying from the bottom of my heart. Xiaodong has done it to himself, I don’t think he will go racing in the future, but it’s a bit hypocritical for me to say that now, if he really has something wrong, I will definitely resent you, so, for you, I really feel guilty.”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't this the worst thing? Let the past be the past, as long as Xiaodong is fine."

Du Keyong changed the bowl, poured a full glass, and said: "Zhengzi, don't say anything. From now on, your business will be my business. I will make amends for you with this bowl of wine." Just go down.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I'll have a drink with Brother Keyong." He picked up the sake and wanted to pour it into the bowl, but Du Keyong pressed it on the bowl and said, "This won't work, Zhengzi, this glass is my apology. , you can't drink."

Du Kecheng frowned helplessly and said: "Old Wu, have you washed your hands? How can you ask Zhengzi to eat like this?" He turned to Lu Zheng and said, "Old Wu has such a temper, don't worry about him."

Du Keyong smiled embarrassingly.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Ke Yong's temper is the same as mine in the army. Soldiers are all fragile and don't have so many twists and turns. This is called distinguishing between likes and hates."

Du Keyong got excited when he heard this, and said, "Second brother, did you hear what Zhengzi said? You don't understand our affairs, but Zhengzi, don't call me Brother Keyong, I'm seven years older than you Eight years old, we are also considered a generation, if you don’t want to dislike me in the future, call me the old five, if you insist on calling me Brother Ke Yong, that’s fine, it means that you haven’t regarded me as your own.”

Lu Zheng said, "I call you Fifth Brother."

Du Keyong shook his head and sighed: "Look, Zhengzi, you are good at everything, even when you get to the local area, you are just like my second brother, coy, bureaucratic, and ah, there are always crooked ones."

Du Kecheng glared at him frequently, and he just pretended not to see it, and said: "However, apart from this point, you really didn't say anything. It's still the same sentence. From now on, your son's business will be my fifth son's business, it's you , The way is very deep, try not to take my old five into the ditch."

Lu Zheng just laughed, and Du Kecheng had no choice but to frown with a little brother, "Secretary Lu is called self-cultivation, and I don't even think about his identity, can he be as rough as you?"

"Second brother, what you said is wrong, you have a class concept." Du Keyong refuted Du Kecheng with a playful smile.

Du Kecheng lost his temper after being tortured by him, so he could only turn around and say to Lu Zheng, "Let's drink and ignore him."

Du Keyong interjected, "I heard that something happened to you in Wushan? We just came home, and the female director of the Supervision Bureau, surnamed Jiang, ran home to find my second brother." He really regarded Lu Zheng as one of his own. , nothing taboo.

Du Kecheng frowned slightly, and picked up his glass to drink.

Lu Zheng glanced at Duke Cheng's expression, and said bravely to Duke, "Fifth brother, the discipline inspection work must be kept secret, let's not talk about it."

Du Kecheng smiled and said, "Zhengzi, why did Jiang Haiyan find me? Are you not sure?"

Although Du Kecheng went to the United States for a few days, he is very clear about what happened in Ushan. When Shan Yubu talked, many Yubu had great opinions on Feng Guiping, and some even said that Feng Guiping was a fake, honest and cruel official, and he was a Cultural Revolution-style Yubu.

This information is circulated in a small area, but there is not much difference between the facts and the facts.

In the hlc company fraud case, Zhou Tao put all the responsibility on Sun Zhengguo, thinking that he had discovered the problem a long time ago, but he didn't remind him in time, but used his comrades' omissions to engage in political struggles, causing huge losses to the country, and he should be held accountable criminal responsibility.

When Du Kecheng came back today, before he had time to catch his breath, Jiang Haiyan came to his house and reported to him the situation that the Supervision Bureau had received a real-name report letter from Yao Erzhu, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

The whistleblower is a lawyer from a law firm in Osan. He provided a lot of detailed materials to prove that Yao Erzhu’s cousin, Yao Qili, acted as an intermediary to help Yao Erzhu collect money. Yao Erzhu’s wife, Chen Guixiang, owned shares in a trading company and two entertainment companies under a pseudonym. The transfer of illegal benefits, these three companies are nothing more than exchange for Yao Erzhu's special care.

These materials are extremely detailed. Du Kecheng didn't think that a small lawyer could obtain such conclusive evidence. He wanted to stand behind Zhou Tao and Lu Zheng's people.

I thought that Zhou Tao and Lu Zheng aimed their firepower at Sun Zhengguo and wanted to destroy Sun Zhengguo, but they didn't want to, and secretly plotted against Chen Cang.

That's why Du Kecheng asked Lu Zheng pointedly, why did Jiang Haiyan find me? Are you not sure?

During this period of time, Du Kecheng didn't want to go back to Wushan. Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao fell into a fierce struggle. Thinking about it, there were invisible hands supporting them. It was not a good thing to get caught up in this struggle.

But I can't stay in the United States for too long, but I don't want to receive such a report just after returning

I am grateful to Lu Zheng, but in political life, I can't reciprocate, support Lu Zheng without principle and then support Zhou Tao, not to mention Zhou Tao, Du Kecheng is quite critical.

If this material was deliberately arranged by Lu Zheng, is this forcing himself to stand in line?

Thinking of this, Du Kecheng couldn't help sighing inwardly, raised his wine glass, and remained silent.

Seeing that his own topic made the atmosphere suddenly tense, Du Keyong said with a smile: "Okay, let's talk about personal affairs today, talk about friendship, and let politics go to hell, okay?"

But Du Kecheng raised his head and asked Lu Zheng: "Zhengzi, tell your heart, what do you think of Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao?"

Lu Zheng said: "Secretary Feng and Mayor Zhou have obvious advantages and disadvantages. Let me first talk about Mayor Zhou. He is pioneering and enterprising, and he is generous and bold. He is true to his style, but he is too pursuing sensational effects and political achievements. Some things are not considered when making decisions. Too comprehensive; as for Secretary Feng, he has an old-fashioned and steady style of work, and has high requirements for civil servants. He especially hates corruption and corruption, and requires his departments to be as clean as water, but sometimes he is too conservative. For our special economic zone, he is not Can’t do it with ease.”

Du Kecheng was stunned for a moment, originally he wanted to ask Lu Zheng casually, but he didn't expect Lu Zheng to say such a thing, and directly commented on the No. [-] Municipal Committee and the No. [-] Municipal Government without hesitation.

Du Keyong was beside him, and gave Lu Zheng a thumbs up, "Okay, Zhengzi, you are clearly the one who gives me the upper hand."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Fifth Brother, you are wrong. Anyone can point fingers at the side, but it doesn't mean that the person pointing fingers has any ability. Moreover, these are all my superficial thoughts. I have some wine today, so I can say what I want. "

Du Kecheng nodded and asked, "Okay, Zhengzi, you can tell me your heart, and I won't hide it from you. You should know that I received a letter of report involving Yao Erzhu just after I came back, but based on my understanding of Yao Erzhu, He is not such a person, is there something wrong?"

Lu Zheng said: "It's not a mistake, just check it out. I know that Brother Kecheng's concern is nothing more than Feng Guiping's. You don't think it's easy to explain, but if Yao Erzhu is fine, wouldn't it be better to check it? Feng Guiping The secretary will definitely agree with you to check it out."

Du Kecheng smiled and said, "Old Feng, I definitely agree, but I feel uncomfortable."

Lu Zheng talked to him about everything, so he lost a little bit of concealment.

Lu Zheng said: "So, there is a problem with our discipline inspection system. Now our Yu department, as long as it is investigated by the discipline inspection committee, it is a big deal. It seems to be the end of the world. It seems to mean that the organization has already thought you are not good enough. It is because of the lack of supervision of our Disciplinary Committee, when we go to investigate a certain department, it is often that this department has reached a very dangerous edge. It has a great impact on the official voice."

Lu Zheng took a sip of tea and continued: "Let's talk about Secretary Feng, yes, he lives a simple life, and he can be described as harsh to the subordinates below, but if there is no his consent, our discipline inspection department will check him He must be furious, so to say that a leader who is as clean as water does not mean that he does not have privileged thoughts, and people who have come from the old era have more serious privileged thoughts.”

"So we still need to rely on the system to fight corruption. We understand this truth, and the leaders of Zhong Yang also understand it. However, it is difficult to do it. I really don't want this slogan to continue to be so empty."

While talking, Lu Zheng sighed.

Du Kecheng smiled, "Zhengzi, after talking with you today, I realized that you have a lot of ideas, but there are many things that cannot be rushed, so take your time."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, removed the teacup, poured himself another glass of wine, and said, "Talk about something happy, and worry about the world before we can reach it."

Both Du Kecheng and Du Keyong laughed and clinked glasses with Lu Zheng.

"Pa" Yao Erzhu with a livid face almost shattered the coffee table, startling Yao Qili who had just been called by him.

"What's going on?" Yao Erzhu's face was terribly dark.

"What's going on?" Yao Qili was confused. He was called by his cousin just after he came back from Japan. He thought that his cousin had discovered his conscience and wanted to reunite with him.

"You don't know?" Yao Erzhu stood up slowly.

Looking at Yao Erzhu, whose face was seyinful like an angry lion, Yao Qili couldn't help taking two steps back in fright, and said, "Third brother, if you have something to say, talk about it, what are you thinking about? I really don't know what you're talking about?

"What am I thinking about? I want to kill you." Yao Erzhu turned around and entered the study. When he came out, he was holding a Type [-] pistol in his hand.

Yao Qili was so frightened that his calves twisted, he sat down on the ground, and screamed: "Second brother, you, are you crazy? Are you crazy, are you really crazy?"

The police officer at the side hurriedly hugged Yao Erzhu, and said repeatedly: "Ju Yao, Ju Yao, calm down." He stretched out his hand and snatched the pistol from Yao Erzhu's hand.

Yao Erzhu pointed at Yao Qili with his hand, "You are so fucking a troublemaker, how can I, Yao Erzhu, have such a relative as you?"

In the study room, the phone rang suddenly, Yao Erzhu gave Yao Qili a hard look, went into the study room to answer the phone, and closed the door forcefully with a bang.

Yao Qili had just recovered from the shock, and slowly stood up while leaning on the wall, his legs were chilly, and he didn't know if he was so frightened that he lost control.

"Old Zhao..., Chu Zhao, what's going on?" Yao Qili asked cautiously.

Director Zhao sighed, and said, "My sister-in-law was just taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission. It seems that there are several companies where my sister-in-law has shares. Qi Li, Director Yao said that it must be related to you, right?"

Yao Qili was stunned, and said: "I, I don't know." As he spoke, he leaned against the wall and slowly moved towards the door.

Director Zhao couldn't help but smiled wryly when he saw this situation: "Qi Li, if something to do with you, the Disciplinary Committee will definitely look for you immediately. Where can you go? Let's listen to Bureau Yao's words."

Yao Qili's face turned pale, and he said, "The Disciplinary Committee, the Disciplinary Committee is also looking for me?"

Director Zhao said: "If it has something to do with you, I will definitely ask you for questioning."

Yao Qili's face was even paler, and he immediately grabbed a life-saving straw, and said anxiously: "No? The second child is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, and he came here with Secretary Feng. Who dares to touch him?"

These words were just heard by Yao Erzhu who came out of the door. Yao Erzhu said coldly: "You think Zhou Tao is a vegetarian? Lu Zheng is a vegetarian?"

Yao Qili said with a bitter face: "Didn't you say that Zhou Tao is going to leave?"

Yao Erzhu snorted, and said, "What do you know?" After taking two steps, he said, "Zhou Tao is determined to go this time, but it is necessary to pull people's backs. Besides, your matter, there is a very good chance that you will Lu Zheng fiddled with it, and some people said that in Wushan, there is nothing that Lu Zheng can't find out, hum, you can't accept it."

Immediately, his expression became serious, and he stared and said: "Now, go to the Disciplinary Committee and surrender yourself, what's going on, explain everything clearly, Guixiang doesn't understand anything, your own mess, don't hurt her"

Yao Qili had a bitter face, like a deflated ball, he could only nod his head, and muttered in a low voice, "Who said this? Those who started the company didn't have such shit, could it be Yang Zhaohui? Or Liu Shoucheng ?”

Yao Erzhu reprimanded: "What are you muttering about? There is no impenetrable wall, you should have gone in to teach a lesson."

ah?Yao Qili was taken aback, raised his head and said: "Second brother, we didn't really give them any benefits. At most, how much blood they have lost. I will make up for it. It is a civil dispute. I praised Haikou and said that I can get you through It’s just that they misunderstood the world line, so they won’t go to jail?”

Yao Erzhu snorted and said, "You're a law student, you know better than me, yes." Too lazy to listen to his ramblings, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out."

Yao Qili looked uncertain, opened the door slowly and walked out.

Yao Erzhu winked at Director Zhao, and said, "Keep an eye on him, send him to surrender, and don't let him run away." He knew that his cousin was really unreliable, and he could do anything If he came out, he might not be sure, if he didn't ask someone to take him there, he would buy a plane ticket and go abroad.

The office of Municipal Party Secretary Feng Guiping.

Lu Zheng is reporting to Feng Guiping the progress of Zhenhua Electronic Equipment Factory's preparations for the Bo court against HLC.

Now Zhenhua Electronics has hired a well-known law firm in New York to represent this lawsuit, and at the same time, a large domestic legal advisory team has also set off for the United States.

Feng Guiping nodded repeatedly when he heard Lu Zheng's introduction, and said: "The provincial leaders attach great importance to this lawsuit. This is the first time that our state-owned enterprise has taken up legal weapons to fight a lawsuit against a foreign company. The whole country and the world are watching. We must win. This battle."

Feng Guiping looked a little haggard. It seemed that he hadn't had a good time.

No matter where it is, if the conflict between the secretary of the municipal party committee and the mayor has intensified to the surface, and even members of the standing committee are repeatedly sued, then the secretary of the municipal party committee can only be described as a failure.

Not to mention, the Standing Committee Member of the Municipal Party Committee and the Director of the Public Security Bureau are now suspected of taking bribes, and the executive deputy mayor was called out by the mayor in front of the investigation team of the Provincial Party Committee to be dealt with. Far from showing up.

The investigation team from the provincial party committee got feedback that Feng Guiping's image in the eyes of Wushan Yubu was not very positive.

This series of events made Feng Guiping physically and mentally exhausted.

When he was about to use the hlc case to send Zhou Tao away, he definitely would not have thought that the current situation would lead to the current situation. He could only drink this cup of bitter wine slowly by himself.

The Wushan officialdom has become a mess. If this continues, even if Zhou Tao is transferred, his reputation as the secretary of the municipal party committee in the province will plummet.

Today, the investigation team of the Provincial Party Committee left Wushan. It seems that it is not important what the final conclusion is. What is important is the current chaos in Wushan.

But after listening to Lu Zheng's report, Feng Guiping didn't show any abnormality, and after a few words of advice to Lu Zheng, he said: "Also, you will go to the provincial capital with me tomorrow, and Governor Zhao Changqing will personally listen to your report. In charge of this work, I think it is safer for you to explain the situation to the provincial leaders."

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, and said: "Newman Lawyers is going to use HLC's bribery to fight. We have a great chance of winning. Although neither Liu Baojun nor Bu Kangri knew that the small gift from HLC was worth a lot, according to US law , according to previous cases in New York State, the value of souvenirs sent by hlc company has exceeded the normal range, and it can basically be determined that they bribed."

Feng Guiping sighed, and said, "I finally heard some good news."

The pager on Lu Zheng's waist beeped, and Lu Zheng got up to say goodbye.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, Feng Guiping answered the phone, and after hearing a few words, his expression changed, "What? What did you say?"

Just as Lu Zheng got up and walked out, just as he opened the door, Feng Guiping snapped the phone on.

Feng Guiping took a deep look at Lu Zheng and said, "It seems that you are better informed than me."

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, and walked out silently.

On the day when the investigation team of the Provincial Party Committee left Osan, several deputies to the National People's Congress suddenly jointly submitted a proposal to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Sun Zhengguo, the former deputy mayor.

Although the proposal was suppressed by Cheng Mingyuan, director of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and did not enter the discussion process, let alone the voting process, the news has spread like wildfire, and overseas media even reported it.

Those deputies to the National People's Congress who proposed the proposal were successively removed from the qualifications of deputies. Of course, this was a later thing.

Both Cheng Mingyuan and Zhou Tao were summoned to the provincial capital that afternoon to report to the leaders of the provincial party committee what happened.

After returning, Cheng Mingyuan defined the incident as a political conspiracy at the closed-door Standing Committee meeting, and severely criticized Cheng Mingyuan, the director of the National People's Congress who attended the meeting, but everyone at the meeting could see that Secretary Feng It seems that the size has been messed up.

Then, half a month later, Sun Zhengguo was investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The autumn rain is lingering, bringing bursts of coolness.

In the private room of a small restaurant diagonally across from the Standing Committee of the Municipal Committee, Lu Zheng, Cheng Mingyuan, and Du Kecheng were feasting on a steaming hot pot.

After Cheng Mingyuan became the director of the National People's Congress, he lived in the Standing Committee. Just yesterday, he was removed from the position of director of the Municipal People's Congress. Lu Zheng came to see him today.

Du Kecheng happened to meet Lu Zheng and Cheng Mingyuan who were coming out for dinner at the gate of the Standing Committee, and followed Lu Zheng's warm invitation.

Cheng Mingyuan drank white wine cup by cup, looking a little dizzy and excited, Lu Zheng persuaded him from the side: "Brother Mingyuan, drink slowly."

Cheng Mingyuan sipped another glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Zhengzi, I'm fine, don't look at me being dismissed from office, but in this life, I can make a proposal to impeach the executive deputy mayor in the position of director of the National People's Congress. Even if I was dismissed, I deserve to be the first to open up the atmosphere, right?"

Lu Zheng stopped persuading, just picked up the wine glass, and clinked glasses with Cheng Mingyuan silently.

Du Kecheng was drinking with him beside him, he didn't talk much, he just sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that the chaos in Wushan would become like this.

There were rumors in the province that although Zhou Tao was going to leave, Feng Guiping would not stay for long, and the top leaders of the party and government would have to bear the blame for any local chaos.

Du Kecheng took a scrutiny at Lu Zheng, and sometimes thought about it, is it because of Lu Zheng that the Wushan political arena is in such a mess?It sounded like last time that Lu Zheng was not very satisfied with Feng Guiping and Zhou Tao, did he just want to take this opportunity to send these two away?

This thought disappeared in a flash, and Du Kecheng immediately felt that he was thinking too much, which is really weird
