Chapter 87: The Second Step of Counterattack

In the cemetery in the north of Xishan Village, Qin Mu kowtowed four times deeply for the old man who was lying here to wait for his promise but had never seen him. Just for a promise, he lived in seclusion in this remote and desolate mountain village until the last moment of his life. In Qin Mu's heart, this was an ancient knight who was righteous in the world. He secretly made up his mind that even if he left Xishan Village, he would plan and build the place where the old man was buried.

After returning from the cemetery, Qin Mu felt a little depressed. After following the young people in the village to pay New Year's greetings, Qin Mu returned home to rest.

The atmosphere of the New Year in Xishan Village this year is quite strong, which is far from the momentum of Qin Mu for a few hundred yuan a year last year. Every family is filled with meat-filled dumplings, and the whole family is laughing constantly.

Qin Mu only rested for a while and was awakened by a constant stream of people. Looking at the simple gaze of the villagers, Qin Mu felt that the cold suddenly got better, and he was having sex with them happily.

A few days during the Chinese New Year, Qin Mu visited the county to visit the leader who was close to him. After bringing some gifts from Xishan Village, he called Ji Zhigang and asked him to come out for a meal.

Ji Zhigang was sweating when he received a call from Qin Mu. When he heard that Qin Mu wanted to invite him to dinner, he said he had something to do. He was scared by Qin Mu. Not to mention eating, if Qin Mu came to visit his house and Qin Mu entered the front door, Ji Zhigang would jump out of the window and escape.

When Qin Mu heard Ji Zhigang's tone of being beaten to death, he laughed and said that he brought some specialties from Xishan Village and wanted to be friends with Ji Zhigang sincerely. He had some misunderstandings before, so he specially invited Ji Zhigang to have a meal to apologize.

Qin Mu is younger than Ji Zhigang, and he doesn't speak like a cadre. If he deals with such a second-generation official, he will probably make the other party sneer at him. When he heard Qin Mu bring something, he remembered that his friend said that the things in Xishan Village were always valuable, and his mind began to be lively. Qin Mu's words were very sincere, so Ji Zhigang gritted his teeth and stammered his neck to Qin Mu's appointment.

Qin Mu did not make any mistakes this time, and the two of them had a meal together. Qin Mu took two root carvings that cost thousands of yuan in the market and gave them to Ji Zhigang, saying that it was Xishan Village's intentions and asked him to say hello to Secretary Ji. In addition, Qin Mu showed that he was young and energetic, and hoped to take a heavier shoulder pole and try it out. After hearing Ji Zhigang, his sense of superiority returned to him. He had heard too much of this kind of official expression. Qin Mu was uneasy about the status quo and wanted to compromise with Ji Qiu and change his ranks to ask for an official.

Even if you, Qin Mu, are like a ghost, will still alarm the old man in the end. Ji Zhigang laughed loudly, patted Qin Mu on the shoulder with his big brother and said to wrap him around him. In the end, Qin Mu stuffed another Chinese for Ji Zhigang, which would be a big deal.

Looking at Ji Zhigang's proud back, a deep and inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Qin Mu's mouth.

When Ji Zhigang returned home, he happened to meet Ma Youteng who was visiting. After Ma Youteng left, Ji Zhigang saw two bottles of wine from Temple Town on his father's table, and kept sneering and said to Ji Qiu: "This Ma Youteng doesn't know how to do anything. For the New Year, who should I fool with two bottles of local wine?"

Ji Qiu stared at Ji Zhigang and said, "You know what's wrong. Lao Ma is a straightforward person. He is not a cunning person. It would be nice to be able to express his feelings. Please stay with me."

Ji Zhigang got a little angry when he heard this. His old man always disliked him. Ji Zhigang had long wanted to find a chance to hit Ji Qiu. He thrust the things in his hand on the table and said, "Don't look at Qin Mu's youth, he can do things."

When Ji Qiu heard this, his eyebrows twisted into a lump and said, "Have you met Qin Mu?"

Ji Zhigang lit a cigarette casually, which was the China that was opened just now, pointed to the thing on the table and said, "Dad, you always say that I can't do this, that's not possible. I think Qin Mu is a good person. Look, the price of the label on these two root carvings is 2,888 yuan, and the two are 6,000 yuan. Don't care how much they sell, aren't these old tree roots? But they can tell their intentions."

Ji Qiu turned out the root carving, but there was an exquisite label on it at the bottom. The number 2888 gave Ji Qiu a headache.

"This is a gadget that someone gave me. It's not a question that you are taking bribes." Ji Zhigang vomited a cigarette ring and said, "Even if you accept bribes, how much money can this old tree root afford?" Seeing Ji Qiu silently, he felt that his words were very good, and continued, "I wonder if Ma Youteng is guarding such a big treasure pot, can he be clean? He is afraid that he will sell dog meat with a sheep head and specifically deceive you alone."

These words were revealed to him at the banquet. When the two were having a happy drink, Qin Mu lamented that Xishan Village was different from the past. Someone secretly stuck the neck of Xishan Village and prevented Xishan Village from developing. He, a native of Xishan Village, was very sad in his eyes, so he wanted to ask Mr. Ji to help.

After being picked up by Qin Mu, Ji Zhigang felt that he had flew into the sky. When he got home, he saw Ma Youteng pitifully bringing two bottles of wine that could not be placed on the table. He became angry and said something like this when he was pushed by the alcohol.

Ji Qiu had a cold frost on his face and shouted at Ji Zhigang: "Don't interfere with me in this matter in the future. People are thinking too much about it. If you are played to death, you won't know how to die."

Ji Zhigang curled his lips, stood up and walked out. When he put his hand on the door handle, Ji Qiu said in a deep voice: "Don't get too close to Qin Mu, but don't break it. Teach him well, it's much better than being with your friends all day long."

Ji Zhigang nodded, feeling that his words had changed a little in the old man's heart, so he walked out the door proudly and called the little girl he had played with.

Ji Qiu sighed and slowly sat on the chair. He looked at the two bottles of wine, then looked at the two root carvings worth 2,888 yuan respectively, and fell into deep thought.

After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year faded a little, and the government functional departments also began to work step by step. On the 16th, a middle-aged man in rustic clothes and a helpless look at him came in the lobby of the county People's Bank of China.

According to Qin Mu's plan, Lao Lin came to the People's Bank of China to apply for a loan, and wanted to borrow 100,000 yuan in the name of the village.

In the 1990s, if you were to take out a loan in the name of a village, at least you would have a letter of introduction and guarantee letter stamped with the official seal. The bank's person in charge followed the principle and asked Lao Lin to publish a letter of introduction and come back.

Lao Lin begged there with a stern begging, saying that everyone can see the development of Xishan Village, but now the development of the village is in a tight position, so he has to borrow money, so he doesn't need to approve the letter from the town. Qin Mu, the person in charge, heard Zhang Cui mention it, and he was very upright in his work. He heard Lao Lin dodging but didn't want to open a letter of introduction from the town, so he joked: "Oh, your Xishan Village is making a big deal now. What's the difficulty of publishing a letter of introduction? Can the town secretary still make things difficult for you?"

Lao Lin was ill. After sighing for the last time, he stopped tying money and left. After waiting for two days, Lao Lin did not come back to apply. The person in charge made a complaint and called the county government's Ji Qiu office to report the situation to him. However, the person in charge responded that he suspected that Lao Lin wanted to use the name of Xishan Village to embezzle himself and did not bring any robbery to Hezi Town at all.

Ji Qiu became a little angry after hearing this. A small village chief, who had just taken the branch secretary, had just taken the lead and wanted to do evil things. Ji Qiu still remembered the fact that Lao Lin had bribed Li Zhaoxiong. If Qin Mu had not reached a compromise with the county town before leaving, Lao Lin would not be able to sit in this position. Now that Lao Lin is going to make trouble again, Ji Qiu felt unhappy. After hearing the person in charge's response, he immediately called and went directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

When Kong Jianguo heard that Qin Mu had some people were going to do something, he took it seriously and immediately sent capable staff to Xishan Village to investigate the situation. Lao Lin became the second village cadre in the history of Liguo County, Xiping County, after Qin Mu, to be directly held accountable by the county discipline inspection commission.

The two people sent this time were exactly the two who Qin Mu invited him to drink. When they heard that there was something wrong in Xishan Village, they spared no effort in doing things. However, during their visit to Xishan Village, they heard that the public expenses in Xishan Village were actually 200 yuan. The reason why Lao Lin went to the loan was indeed for the next step of construction of Xishan Village. As for why he refused to go to the town, the two of them had a vague understanding in their hearts.

The two investigators quickly sent the results of their investigation and their own speculation to Kong Jianguo's table. Kong Jianguo smoked cigarettes and thought for a long time before he sent the results of the investigation to Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu was silent with the report, and after returning home, he still frowned. It happened that day that Qin Mu came to the county to take Zhu Laojiu to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register a special trademark. Ji Zhigang left a note to tell Ji Qiu that he would not come back for dinner tonight.

Ji Qiu took out the wine and wanted to drink two glasses. His fingers touched the two bottles of low-end wine brought by Ma Youteng in the wine cabinet, and he felt even more unhappy. However, in order to pursue elegance, Ji Zhigang put the two carvings on the wine cabinet. In contrast, Ji Qiu's perfect temper, which had been tempered by the officialdom, could no longer control his pull out the two bottles of low-end wine and threw them to the ground.

In the afternoon, Ji Qiu ordered the Commission for Discipline Inspection to grasp the black hole behind this matter, and to cooperate with the Commission for Discipline Inspection with all its strength, and to strictly guard against it. No matter who is behind this matter, put the interests of the people aside, and to satisfy personal desires very seriously. If you encounter punishment, the image of the Party must be resolutely safeguarded.

Ma Youteng received the news and quickly handed over the money he got from Lao Lin to the town finance account. However, this time the Discipline Inspection Commission was determined to investigate it to the end and never tolerate it. After several harsh conversations, the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission took out Lao Lin's receipt and confession confessed by the town finance staff. Ma Youteng could no longer support it and explained that he had no money to buy a house because his child was going to get married and he had a wrong idea.

Ji Qiu was furious and Ma Youteng was directly in charge of the two regulations. The Discipline Inspection Commission began to investigate the exact number of Ma Youteng's corruption. The work in Hezi Town was temporarily handled by the mayor Guo Zizai.
