Ye Zhiran couldn't help but nodded and said, "I agree with the master's explanation. How can ordinary people and things be absolutely detached? As long as a person has a heart for goodness, he will attain enlightenment. But I have something to ask the master for advice. Confucius said when he praised the "Book of Changes", 'A family that accumulates good will have good fortune, and a family that accumulates bad will have good fortune.' But why do I not understand?"

Monk Kude asked, "Why?"

Ye Zhiran said: "The Buddha said that cause and effect are all self-responsive and should be borne by everyone. Since this is the case, why will it affect the descendants?"

Monk Kude looked at Ye Zhiran deeply and said, "The ancient sages have made great contributions to accumulating good deeds. Lao Tzu once said, 'The way of heaven has no relatives, so they always have good people.' This means that God does not have a partial heart, but only keeps blessing good people. Those who do good deeds will definitely receive gifts from God. This is actually a cause and effect. How can we explain it? People in the world are reincarnated and reincarnated. When God arranges reincarnation, they have planted good causes for their descendants. The good causes in this life are the good results accumulated in the previous life. Therefore, the family who accumulates good deeds will have good fortune."

Ye Zhiran suddenly said: "It turns out that reincarnation is also a kind of cause and effect, and cause and effect can also reincarnate. What the master said is a bit profound."

The monk Kude also said: "The Buddha said, 'All things are empty, and cause and effect are not empty.' The cycle of cause and effect has always been like this. Can the donor Xiaoye know that when the monk met you for the first time, he knew that you were a person who did great good and accumulated great virtues. Giving you a jade pendant also means borrowing flowers to send it to the Buddha."

Ye Zhiran laughed in surprise and said, "Why did the master say this? I am an ordinary man and only walk in the world and rarely go to the temple."

Monk Kude smiled slightly and said, "Donor Xiaoye doesn't seem to know that he has a fate with the Buddha."

Ye Zhiran looked at Monk Kude, but felt a little strange. The monk said many times that he had a Buddhist connection. Do you still want to introduce him into the Void Sect and slaughter him? Thinking of this, he laughed out loud: "The more the master said, the more mysterious it becomes. I want to listen to you, why do I have a connection with the Buddha?"

The monk Kude was not worried at all and continued, "Doing good deeds and doing good deeds is to cultivate Buddha. Practicing Buddha does not mean that people can stay away from the world and enter the other side of the Pure Land. In the future, Xiaoye donor does good things in the officialdom and emphasizes people's livelihood to cultivate Buddha's fate in the officialdom, and achievement is far above monks. This time, when you are in danger, the Bodhisattva will cast magic power and jade pendants to eliminate a great disaster for you? You must know that there is a cause, and there is a cause."

Ye Zhiran smiled and said, "Master, do you mean that I am practicing Buddhism as an official now?"

Monk Kude said, "In the eyes of monks, officialdom, shopping malls are no different from Buddhist temples. Look at the pilgrims in the temple and knock in three steps. What is the matter? It's just about seeking the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattvas to help them get rid of suffering. In the eyes of monks, it's better to go out and do a few good deeds and accumulate some good deeds."

Ye Zhiran said, "The monk said something unique. Without these pilgrims, wouldn't all monks starve to death?"

Monk Kude Heshi said, "Amitabha, if everyone is good, there is no need for this temple to exist, and monks and ordinary people do not need to distinguish."

Ye Zhiran laughed and said, "These are all extreme ideals. There is no great harmony in the world, so don't worry about monks. It's getting late, I'm going down the mountain and come to have time to have tea with the master."

Monk Kude smiled slightly, stood up freely, made a gesture of worshiping Buddha, and said goodbye to him.

Ye Zhiran left the temple gate and went all the way down the mountain. The afterglow of the setting sun spread among the bushes in the west mountain, and the returning birds chirped and cheered. In this paradise-like environment, the slightest unhappiness caused by the suspension of work disappeared without a trace.

Another day later, at 7 o'clock on the 7th day, Ye Zhiran rode his bike to the county party committee compound, met with Zhang Liren, Liu Bing and Huang Rucheng, preparing to attend the commendation meeting. Also accompanying the county party committee secretary Tang Guoqiang, county party committee propaganda minister Wu Xiaoping, county public security director Shang Zhiyuan and Mashi Township party secretary Qin Daming.

The commendation meeting was grand and enthusiastic. Gu Songlin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, attended the meeting. Zhang Quan, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and director of the Public Security Bureau of the Municipal Party Committee, and Wu Minhong, the propaganda director of the Municipal Party Committee, spoke respectively. Ye Zhiran and Zhang Liren both spoke at the meeting. Then, the city leaders personally awarded medals to Ye Zhiran and four others, and announced that each of them would be awarded great achievements once. Subsequently, the chief of the Changjia County Public Security Bureau read out Zhang Liren and Liu Bing's promotion decision at the meeting. Zhang Liren was promoted to the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the County Public Security Bureau as he wished, and Liu Bing was promoted to the director of the Mashi Township Police Station. The rewards of Ye Zhiran and Huang Rucheng were decided by the Changjia County Standing Committee to hold a separate meeting. At the same time, the four of them each received a reward of 5,000 yuan from the Public Security Department of the Yangtze River.

After the meeting, everyone had a meal together, and the others went back to Changjia directly. Tang Guoqiang left Ye Zhiran alone in the city of Jianan. This was decided last night, and Ye Zhiran knew what was going on. Because Qin Daming had told him that he did not need to go back to Mashi Township after the meeting, and could go directly to the provincial capital, Ye Zhiran no longer asked him for leave.

Tang Guoqiang worked in the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee for many years and had his own house in the city of Jianan. After his wife and children followed him to Changjia, only his parents lived in the city's home. Fortunately, although the two old people were old, they were both strong and could take care of themselves.

The venue is located in the center of Jianan City, not far from Tang Guoqiang's house, a dozen minutes' drive away.

After the two left the venue, Tang Guoqiang said to Ye Zhiran: "Xiao Ye, go home with me."

Ye Zhiran asked: "Secretary Tang, is this convenient?"

Tang Guoqiang said: "It's convenient. My family is big, and Yu Jia is not here. You'll be fine if you have one more."

Ye Zhiran took Tang Guoqiang's car to his house. Along the way, he watched the wide sycamore trees standing upright beside the streets, with a different style from Changjia County. He knew that Jianan City was a medium-sized city in the Yangtze River Province, with a population of about 800,000 and about 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital. It was adjacent to the provincial capital and the only planned city in the province. Among the nearby cities, Jianan was also famous. Ye Zhiran had been to the city several times before, but every time he came and went in a hurry and was not familiar with the city. In the early 1990s, urban construction began to accelerate. The most obvious sign was that super-high buildings that were only found in bustling cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou began to rise, and road construction gradually entered a good place.

After entering the community, Tang Guoqiang took care of the driver to check in the hotel and took Ye Zhiran home by himself.

Secretary Tang’s home is an old-fashioned villa, which is very clean. When the two entered the door, the two had just finished their nap. When they saw Tang Guoqiang bringing a gentle young man back, they asked in surprise: “Guoqiang, why have you come back so early?”

Tang Guoqiang first introduced Ye Zhiran to the two elders: "My parents, this is Ye Zhiran, deputy mayor of Mashi Township, Changjia County. Today, Xiao Ye is the village head who shot and killed the "two lis"."

Without waiting for the two elders to speak, Ye Zhiran stepped forward and bowed and said, "Old Tang, grandma, hello!"

Old Tang looked at Ye Zhiran with a smile and praised: "It turns out that young and energetic, it's a good seedling."

As soon as this said, he saw Mr. Tang having a very kind face. Although he was old, his eyes were still bright. Ye Zhiran knew that Mr. Tang was a political official in the past, and that kind of momentum and official power would never have it. He estimated that the house was distributed to Mr. Tang by the government.

Tang Guoqiang's mother smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, come in and sit down, be as casual as you want, don't be restrained."

Ye Zhiran walked to the sofa in the living room and saw that Tang's mother picked up the teacup and wanted to pour him tea. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Grandma, rest, I'll do it myself." She took the teacup from Tang's mother, poured a glass of water for Secretary Tang first, and then poured himself a glass of water.

Tang's mother looked at Ye Zhiran, nodding, as if she was very commending with his behavior, and said to the two: "Then you talk, Mr. Tang and I will go out to relax."

Tang Guoqiang said to his mother: "Mom, Xiaoye and I are having dinner outside, and there will be a party at night. Xiaoye stays at our house at night and lets him sleep in Tang Kang's bed."

Tang's mother smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

When Tang's mother walked out, Ye Zhiran exclaimed: "Secretary Tang, Mr. Tang and grandma are both clear and healthy, kind and friendly. I feel like I want to go home."

Tang Guoqiang smiled and said, "Then you can come often." After the two of them took a few sips of tea, Secretary Tang said, "We will have dinner with Secretary Gu in the evening. Although Chang Jia is small, the situation is unpredictable."

Ye Zhiran asked: "Secretary Tang, has the situation changed? Think about it, County Mayor Yin should not give up."

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Well, it's coming in full force!"

Ye Zhiran said apologetically: "Secretary Tang, I'm causing you trouble."

Tang Guoqiang said: "It is not entirely true. Their purpose is to build momentum for Yin Mingquan and aim to adjust the district and county leaders in November. Your business is an episode. They also want to take the opportunity to make some profits."

Ye Zhiran spent two or three years in the big dye vat in the officialdom and had seen various tricks that were numerous, with the purpose of obtaining political or economic benefits. Do they really think that this would pull Tang Guoqiang down and take over them?

Ye Zhiran said tentatively: "Secretary Tang, in fact, if County Magistrate Yin went to another county to serve, he would be able to give Chang Jia a stable and united work situation."

Tang Guoqiang said "ah" and turned his face to look at Ye Zhiran and said, "This is really enlightening. If that happens, both sides will be happy, which will be more conducive to the layout and development of the next step of work." The more Tang Guoqiang thought about it, the more he felt the mystery of making moves, and he couldn't help but praise Ye Zhiran, "Xiao Ye is good, his thinking is flexible and practical. This is a good way to solve problems once and for all, and I will mention it to Secretary Gu."

With Tang Guoqiang's words, Ye Zhiran knew that this matter was operational. Moreover, as long as Secretary Gu intends to promote it, Deputy Director Yin will work hard to cooperate. After all, this can solve the difficulty of Yin Mingquan's promotion and open up space for his nephew's next development. Why not do it?
