Chapter 1602 After the rain, the sky is clear

Although it seems that Xun Pengcheng was targeted by the Ministry of Security when he first arrived in Danzhou this time because of no fault, the arrival of Wang Baisuo was enough to make him frightened for a long time. The shadow caused by several interrogations by the Ministry of Security during his stay in Sanya was gone.

It dissipated a little easily, but now they all came back again. Although the God of Plague was sent away safely, Xun Pengcheng also knew that he was not completely freed from this trouble, and he would have to deal with Wang Baisuo's interrogation tomorrow.

After Xun Pengcheng washed up, he lay on the bed and recounted in his mind how he saw the street notice, how he went to Fengming Villa out of curiosity, and how he came into contact with Zhang Jinbao, trying to recall every detail.

Get up. Otherwise, if Wang Baisuo asks for details tomorrow and he hesitates for a long time and can't remember them, he might make the other party suspicious. And now he has to pray that Zhang Jinbao doesn't say anything wrong, although Wang Baisuo didn't mention Zhang Jinbao today.

Jinbao, but Xun Pengcheng concluded that the Ministry of Security could not leave another important insider aside, and would definitely go to him for questioning. If there is any discrepancy between the situations stated by the two parties, it would inevitably attract more questions.

trouble.

Wang Baisuo also came very early the next day, but Xun Pengcheng got up earlier, had already packed up, had breakfast, and was waiting in the room politely. Wang Baisuo also admired the correct attitude he showed.

Taking advantage of the other party's good mood, Xun Pengcheng took the initiative to inquire: "What is the relationship between the gentleman who drove the villain from Changhua to Danzhou and Mr. Wang?"

Wang Baisuo admitted frankly: "I am my father-in-law."

Xun Pengcheng was already mentally prepared for this, so he was not too surprised when he heard the answer. Wang Baisuo's answer answered some of his questions. However, he did not dare to rely on himself and his father-in-law to accompany each other for a few days.

He was building a relationship shamelessly, just hoping that Lao Gao would not make up his fault in front of his son-in-law, otherwise if Wang Baisuo had a bad first impression of him, the rest of his life would still be difficult.

Fortunately, this worry seemed to be unnecessary. Wang Baisuo saw that he took the initiative to mention his father-in-law, so he chatted for a while. It turned out that after Lao Gao and Xun Pengcheng parted at the inn that day, they went to Wang Baisuo's house to stay temporarily.

It’s interesting to talk about the guests who came to Danzhou to see off this trip. However, at that time, Lao Gao only knew that Xun Pengcheng came to Danzhou to inspect plantations, but he never thought that this guy would accidentally get involved with a private scientific research organization, and even be blamed for it.

The security department was alerted.

"I heard that my father-in-law said that he once invited you to meet me, but you refused." There was always a weird smile on Wang Baisuo's face, which made Xun Pengcheng shudder.

"Sir, at that time, I was just afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so I declined your kindness. I didn't mean to be disrespectful, and I hope you will understand." Xun Pengcheng quickly defended himself.

"Actually, I already know about your stay in Sanya. Since your colleagues in Sanya let you go before, it means that you have no crime and there is no need to be so afraid of our security department." Wang Baisuo responded: "Including me.

The questions we are going to ask today are not to treat you as a prisoner, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, I understand! If I had really committed a crime, Mr. Wang would have taken the villain back to the Yamen long ago. Why would we be talking here?" Xun Pengcheng responded hurriedly.

Perhaps it was because of the simultaneous investigation into Zhang Jinbao yesterday, and without a sensitive clue like Lao Gao, that Wang Baisuo's progress in checking what Xun Pengcheng said was significantly faster today, and he did not ask him to do nothing like yesterday.

He recited everything in detail, and when he encountered unimportant content, Wang Baisuo would take the initiative to ask him to skip the key points.

Xun Pengcheng didn't quite understand at first why there was such an obvious difference in Wang Baisuo's interrogation methods two days before and after. Then he suddenly figured out that whether the matter was true or not should have been verified by Zhang Jinbao yesterday, and today

Wang Baisuo came to him to verify the authenticity of Zhang Jinbao's confession. Naturally, he only needed to grasp a few key points.

Wang Baisuo's attitude made Xun Pengcheng feel a little more relaxed. This meant that Zhang Jinbao had not found any problems. Since Zhang Jinbao was fine, he was just acting as a liaison, so naturally there would be no problems.

What trouble? It’s just that after this investigation, don’t affect Li Nai’s side, otherwise the duck will fly away. Xun Pengcheng didn’t know that this investigation was originally a request made by Li Nai to the Ministry of Security in order to avoid suspicion.

, on the one hand, the Ministry of Security is to check whether there are any prohibited contents in the projects researched by this so-called poetry club, and on the other hand, it is also to eliminate potential risks that may bring personal threats to Li Nai.

However, Wang Baisuo would not confess these purposes to Xun Pengcheng, the subject of the investigation. Although he was basically convinced that Xun Pengcheng was just an astute speculator with no bad intentions, he still completed the investigation with all his heart and soul.

Leave nothing to chance.

After the two-day investigation work came to an end, Wang Baisuo told Xun Pengcheng not to leave Danzhou City in the near future, because Li Nai was already on his way to Danzhou and designated him as a contact person. If he couldn't find anyone when he came, he would

There were many inconveniences. Xun Pengcheng was eager to catch up with Li Nai as soon as possible. At this time, he couldn't drive him away even if he rushed, so he naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Unexpectedly, the sea conditions on the west coast of Hainan Island suddenly became very bad. Hurricanes and heavy rains washed the coastal areas. The waves on the sea were more than ten feet high. Even the military warships did not dare to venture out to sea in such bad weather. From the direction of Changhua

News came that the official road connecting the two places was temporarily impassable due to being washed away by flash floods. This was undoubtedly a great torment for Xun Pengcheng and Zhang Jinbao who were eager to meet Li Nai.

According to the news they received, they only knew that Li Nai had left Sanya by boat, but he would definitely not be able to get to Danzhou before the weather turned bad. Therefore, if nothing else happens, Li Nai was probably trapped in Sanya at this time.

A certain port on the way. It was not that they were worried that Li Nai would not come when the weather improved, but that such a delay would definitely have an impact on Li Nai's original itinerary, and the time left for inspection and consultation in Danzhou might be

This will reduce a lot, which is obviously detrimental to their original plan.

After waiting anxiously for a few more days, the weather finally began to clear up. At this time, few people paid attention to Xun Pengcheng and Zhang Jinbao anymore, because the continuous storms caused great damage to many towns on the west coast.

In response to the destruction, officials mobilized almost all personnel from various local agencies to participate in disaster relief, including the Ministry of Security.

According to preliminary official statistics from Danzhou, during the five-day storm, a total of 17 villages and towns in Danzhou were affected, with a total of more than 6,000 people affected. The disaster situation was mainly floods, and almost all water veins, large and small, were affected.

In the past few days, it has turned into a violent torrent, which not only washed away and annihilated various farmland on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also caused a small number of casualties. The Executive Committee has ordered the emergency allocation of food, medicine, tents and other disaster relief materials from Haikou and Sanya to be transported to Dan

state.

Although the area affected by the disaster in Danzhou is not small, the impact on the city of Danzhou is actually not great. On the one hand, this is because the tall city walls play a certain role in resisting the strong winds coming from the sea. On the other hand, the inner city of Danzhou is

The drainage project is operating well. Except for a few low-lying areas that are flooded, most places in the city still maintain a normal pace of life. This is due to Mayor Zhang Xin’s efforts in transforming the city’s environment in recent years.

The city's infrastructure has been comprehensively improved, especially the drainage system, otherwise the most densely populated area of ​​Danzhou City would be the first to be hit by this storm.

As one of the local pillar industries, Danzhou Academy naturally has a duty to do so. Each academy has organized activities such as donating money and materials, and some academies with medical majors have even come in handy. Teachers and students

They all accepted temporary recruitment from the government and went to various places to treat the sick and injured due to the storm.

Zhang Jinbao's body shape makes it difficult to move. Of course, it is impossible for him to lead a team to the disaster-stricken areas. However, he has not been idle. He responded to the call of Yan Mingjun, the former magistrate of Danzhou and the current head of the Danzhou Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and worked with several other companies.

Together with the president of the college, they organized a charity sale in the Danzhou cultural circle. Of course, those who put up their works for charity were people from the cultural circle, but the donors who paid for it were not necessarily people from this circle.

As the person Zhang Jinbao is currently paying close attention to, Xun Pengcheng was naturally invited, but he was not sure whether he was invited as a scholar or as a wealthy benefactor.

However, although Xun Pengcheng is now determined to make a lot of money, he is not the kind of stingy person. For charity events like this, he does not hesitate to spend a few extra dollars to show his kindness - anyway, this money falls from the sky.

If you spend it, it will be spent. Of course, there will be no psychological barriers if you use it to do some good deeds.

Xun Pengcheng originally thought that this kind of activity would be just about inviting a few squires to show off their elegance, spending some token money, buying some medicinal materials, and holding a few porridge soup parties. But when he arrived at the event, Xun Pengcheng

He found that his idea was very wrong. There were quite a few Danzhou gentry attending the meeting, at least much more than the academic elites from the local academies he met at Fengming Villa.

The so-called charity sale is when some celebrities in the local cultural circle sell their calligraphy and painting works. Of course, some people are more generous and directly sell their own collections for auction. The proceeds from the sale of these things are naturally used.

We are here to help the victims and organize them to rebuild their homes.

After all, Xun Pengcheng was also a scholar, and he still had some ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting works. According to his observation, the quality of the calligraphy and painting works at this charity sale was very polarized. Some works that looked like ghostly painted peach symbols were actually auctioned. He

After asking about it, I found out that it was the work of a local high-ranking official, and it was obviously a piece of work that was being used to win prizes. Of course, there are also people who want to flatter themselves and deliberately raise the price in order to gain the appreciation of the high-ranking officials.

Xun Pengcheng has no such plan for the time being. He has not yet established a stable foothold in Danzhou. If he wants to attack local high-ranking officials now, it will be too big. After looking at it for a while, he actually likes this painting of the central hall of Yan Mingjun, the former governor of the state.

, so they started bidding, and finally bought it for 500 yuan. Zhang Jinbao introduced to everyone on the spot that this was Mr.

He received an invitation to enter the local cultural circle, so the gentry and celebrities in the cultural circle who were present at the charity sale came forward to meet Xun Pengcheng.

But Xun Pengcheng didn't expect Zhang Junbao's words to have such an effect. The five hundred yuan was a good deal to buy a reputation in Danzhou's local cultural circle, not to mention it also came with a good-quality calligraphy. Since Zhang Jinbao helped him become famous, Huahua

He also understood the principle of having people carry the sedan chair, so he immediately said that he was new here and relied on Zhang Jinbao to take care of him, so he praised Zhang Jinbao in front of everyone.

On the last day of the event, more than 40,000 yuan was raised, which was collected by the organizers and then purchased corresponding relief materials and sent them to various places.

The day after the event, Xun Pengcheng heard that Li Nai had arrived in Danzhou. After Li Sangong came ashore, he heard that many places in Danzhou were affected by disasters, so he donated 50,000 yuan to Danzhou in the name of Furifeng.

, the local gentry could only express their admiration for such generosity.

After Li Nai arrived in Danzhou, he did not come to see Xun Pengcheng immediately. Instead, he went to visit the mayor Zhang Xin first. This was not the first time Li Nai came to Danzhou, nor was it the first time he dealt with Zhang Xin, but the friendship between the two

It can only be said that it is a work relationship, and there is no special treatment. However, with Li Nai's status, he will be treated as a guest wherever he goes, which is already an extremely special treatment. What's more, Li Nai's visit this time

Before moving to Danzhou, Zhang Xin had already received a telegram from Schneider, asking Danzhou to cooperate with Li Nai's request as much as possible. As long as it did not violate national laws, Li Nai could do whatever he wanted.

The reason why Schneider had such an arrangement was that Li Nai's mind in business operations was far better than ordinary people's. If Danzhou's private scientific research projects really had the prospect of making money, then Li Nai would definitely think of monetizing them.

Method. Whether these research contents are illegal or not, the Ministry of Security will investigate, but currently it seems that all research contents are legal.

After Li Nai entered Danzhou City, Zhang Jinbao consciously went to the inn where Xun Pengcheng stayed and waited with him for Li Nai's summons. When things came to a close, Xun Pengcheng became more and more nervous. He and Li Nai had no personal relationship in the first place.

, the relationship at work was even worse by several levels, and he actually had no idea how to approach this negotiation.
