He pleaded guilty to his corruption crimes. He paid all the money he had embezzled. Even so, he still can't escape the severe punishment of the law.

Gu Jiatong made a special trip to the Beishan Detention Center to visit Wei Zhicheng. I haven't seen him for a few days, Wei Zhicheng is a lot haggard, his hair is messy, mixed with a lot of white hair, and a few fine wrinkles have climbed on his originally handsome face, a person from death to life, and then suddenly fell into the abyss from the new life, Wei Zhicheng has completed the whole process of his joy and sorrow in such a short period of time, it is really a blessing and a blessing. He looked at Gu Jiatong through the glass, trying his best to make a relaxed expression, but the despair and remorse in his heart were still revealed through his melancholy eyes.

Gu Jiatong picked up the phone and knocked lightly on the window, and Wei Zhicheng picked up the electric high after a while.

"Hey! Zhicheng, are you okay? ”

Wei Zhicheng nodded, his eyes were slightly red: "I thought I was going to die, I had to leave something for the two of them so that they could live well."

Gu Jiatong didn't speak, she could understand Wei Zhicheng's motives and original intentions, but no matter what, this money didn't belong to him, and he shouldn't have used such a method.

Wei Zhicheng said: "I don't have anything to think about, this life was originally a fluke, I have consulted a lawyer, and it may be sentenced to more than ten years." ”

Gu Jiatong said: "You behave well, you can get a commutation if you have a good performance, and now that the sentence has not been announced, you may not be so pessimistic." ”

Wei Zhicheng said: "Jiatong, I'm afraid I can't take care of He Luo, she doesn't know what happened to me, you."

Gu Jiatong sighed and said: "You don't need to say it, I understand, I will help you take care of He Luo, and when she gives birth, I will help her arrange a position in the company." "Thank you!" Wei Zhicheng was moved by Jia.

Gu Jiatong comforted him and said: "You are still young, you will be released from prison in a short time, and you still have a chance to create a career, I came to see you to tell you face to face, don't be depressed because of this." ”

Zhang Yang's course in the provincial party school training class is coming to an end, he was originally going to leave to return to Jiangcheng immediately after the end of the course, but suddenly received a call from his godmother Luo Huining, asking him to go to Beijing, Mr. Tianchi suddenly fell ill, Luo Huining wanted Zhang Yang to go to the old man's home, for her request. Zhang Yang will definitely not refuse. What's more, he also admires Mr. Tianchi's personality very much. After talking to Gu Jiatong, he bought a ticket to Beijing that day.

When Zhang Yang boarded the plane, he met an acquaintance, who was Liang Chenglong, the chairman of Fengyu Group.

Liang Chenglong did not go to Beijing alone, but brought his girlfriend Bai Yan.

After meeting, they just said hello to each other very politely, and when they got off the plane at the airport, Zhang Yang wanted to call, but Liang Chenglong took the initiative to let the driver who came to pick him up drive the BMW car over, and invited him very warmly: "Director Zhang, where are you going?" I'll send you".

The weather in Beijing was already very hot in June, and Zhang Yang did not refuse, opened the car door and sat in.

Liang Chenglong smiled: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to take a plane." ”

Zhang Yang looked at Bai Yan beside Liang Chenglong and said with a smile: "Come to Beijing to play?" ”

Liang Chenglong nodded: "It's mainly business, by the way, there is nothing fun in Beijing." I come here several times a year, and I've traveled everywhere. ”

On the side, Bai Yan said: "I haven't been here for many years, this time I must take a good look at the places of interest in Beijing." Eat the special snacks of Beijing City. ”

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "When it comes to eating, I have a good place to tell you that there is a small farm yard in the area of Anzhenmen. It was opened by the Chunyang Beijing Office, and a few special dishes were very good. ”

Liang Chenglong knew that Zhang Yang had served as the director of the Chunyang Beijing Office, and he smiled and said, "If Director Zhang is free, I will invite you there in the evening!" There is a saying, when we meet old acquaintances in other places, we can be regarded as fateful! ”

Zhang Yang smiled faintly, he and Liang Chenglong didn't know anything, and he didn't plan to eat with Liang Chenglong, so he politely declined: "I still have something to do at night, so what, send me to the Chunyang Beijing Office first!" ”

Liang Chenglong was not reluctant, let the driver send him to the Chunyang Beijing Office, Zhang Yang has not been to Beijing for more than four months, walked into the gate of the Beijing Office, and found that a lot of flowers have been added to the yard, which seems to be much more neat than in the past, several offices of the Beijing Office are closed, and the staff are enjoying the coolness of the air conditioning.

Zhang Yang came to the director's office and knocked lightly on the door, and Yu Xiaodong's voice came from inside: "Please come in!" ”

Zhang Yang pushed the door and walked in.

Yu Xiaodong's eyes were staring at the newspaper, and Zhang Yang walked in. She didn't bother to look away from the newspaper: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Yang coughed.

Yu Xiaodong raised her head in surprise, and when she saw that it was Zhang Yang, she screamed in surprise. Got up from the chair: "Director Zhang! What is the wind that blows you? ”

Zhang Yangle sat down opposite her: "I said Sister Yu, can we not be so surprised?" ”

Yu Xiaodong said with a smile on his face: "I'm happy!" She got up and went to soak in it; pulled out a chilled cola from the refrigerator and gave it to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang opened the coke and chewed it!" "Sister Qian, I'm going to stay in Beijing for a few days, it's up to you!"

Yu Xiaodong smiled: "Okay! ”

"I still sleep in the room I used to have, get used to it!"

Yu Xiaodong shook his head and said, "This can't be done, there are people living in that room!" ”

Zhang Yang was a little surprised and said: "Spring shame is coming?" ”

Yu Xiaodong nodded with a smile and said, "Secretary Qin is here, I arrived the day before yesterday, to attend a meeting, it is estimated that it will take a week to leave." ”

Zhang Yang was really surprised and delighted, he didn't expect Qin Qing to come to Beijing, and he talked to Qin Qing on the phone two days ago, and he didn't hear her mention the matter of coming to Beijing.

Yu Xiaodong said: "You just live in the room next door, by the way, what to eat at night, I will let them prepare in advance." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I still have something to do, I don't know what time I will be able to come back at night, so let's prepare the room for me; I'll come to stay at night, bring me my luggage, I'll come, don't tell Secretary Qin about the mourning. ”

Yu Xiaodong was stunned. Immediately understood again, who in the Chunyang system didn't know the relationship between Zhang Yang and Qin Qing, Zhang Yang didn't let himself say, Bacheng wanted to give Qin Qing an unexpected surprise, Yu Xiaodong nodded again and again.

Zhang Yang took a shower in the room and changed his clothes, and then contacted Luo Huining.

When Luo Huining heard that he had arrived in Beijing, he was also very happy and asked him to go to Mr. Tianchi's residence at the foot of Xiangshan immediately.

The Chunyang Beijing Office has already bought a Santana, but Qin Qing has been in Beijing recently, so the car naturally needs to be used by her. Yu Xiaodong wanted to arrange a vehicle for Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang rejected her kindness, after all, he is no longer a staff member in Chunyang County, and there is no reason to take advantage of others too much.

，

Zhang Yang took a taxi to Mr. Tianchi's residence, and saw a Hongqi sedan parked outside the door, and from the license plate he recognized that it was Vice Premier Wen's car, and Luo Huining had arrived.

The courtyard gate is ajar. Zhang Yang pushed the door and walked in, but saw Wen Ling standing quietly in the courtyard in a long black dress, looking at Shi Hai embedded in the wall with a pair of eyes, I don't know what to think?

Zhang Yang is still very jealous of this godsister, and he is afraid, and he always feels that there is an indescribable weirdness in her body.

Zhang Yang's footsteps were very soft, but Wen Ling noticed his arrival at the first time, and quickly turned around, her complexion was still very pale, and it looked a little translucent in the sun, and she could clearly see the blue blood vessels on her forehead, her eyebrows were very long, her eyes were large, her lips were not bloody, her bare arms and a pair of calves were slender and pale, and her whole person was delicate as if she could be exposed to the wind at any time

Go.

Zhang Yang smiled. called out very politely: "Sister Ling! ”

Wen Ling nodded. Pointing to the stone carvings on the wall, he said, "Have you noticed that these stone carvings are very strange, as if they contain an inexhaustible force?" ”

Zhang Yang leaned over curiously, he didn't see anything special, these stone carvings were all collected by Mr. Tianchi in the past. Let people be embedded around the perimeter of the courtyard wall. He said softly: "Sister Ling also knows calligraphy? ”

"Learned some! Mr. Tianchi also gave some pointers. ”

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Have you seen Brother Du recently, I haven't contacted him for a long time."

Wen Ling couldn't help frowning when she heard Zhang Yang mention Du Tianye, and a faint coldness appeared in her bright eyes: "Are you very familiar with him?" One sentence held back all the words that Zhang Yang wanted to say below, it seems that the relationship between the two did not develop very smoothly, and Zhang Yang was too lazy to take care of other people's affairs, and said: "Sister Ling, look at you, I'll go to visit Mr. Tianchi."

Wen Ling said: "He shouldn't be a big deal!" ”

Zhang Yang looked at Wen Ling in some surprise, this godsister felt really stranger and stranger.

At this time, Luo Huining walked out of the room and saw Zhang Yang, she greeted her happily: "Zhang Yang, it's here so soon!" ”

Zhang Yang cordially called his godmother, and then said: "I am in the Dongjiang Party School, participating in the youth cadre refresher class, the course has basically ended, and I am about to go back to Jiangcheng, besides, you call me." I have to let go of even the biggest things. ”

This guy's mouth is just able to speak, Luo Huining smiled, and she said softly: "My teacher has been eating and drinking since yesterday morning, and the whole person has become groggy. The doctor from the hospital also came to check it out. I can't find anything wrong, and I can't help but let you come. ”

Zhang Yang nodded and followed Luo Huining to Mr. Tianchi's bedroom.

Mr. Tianchi was lying on the recliner, his former radiant face was covered with a layer of black gas, his mind was still quite clear, and when he saw Zhang Yang, he smiled and nodded: "It's here."

"Hello sir!" Zhang Yang showed great respect for this calligraphy master, he washed his hands and began to examine Mr. Tianchi, to Zhang Yang's surprise, judging from Mr. Tianchi's pulse and pox, he should have been poisoned, but after carefully examining his body, he did not find any wounds. Zhang Yang said: "Is there any abnormality in Sir's diet these days?" Mr. Tianchi shook his head and said, "My diet has always been regular and light. It's all Wu Ma who is responsible, there shouldn't be any problems! ”

Zhang Yang went out to attack. Luo Huizhong followed and said softly! "Publicity. Dianmo Continent,

Zhang Yang whispered: "I want to go to the kitchen to see!" He came to the kitchen, Wu Ma, who was responsible for taking care of Mr. Tianchi's daily life, was preparing dinner there, Wu Ma had been taking care of Mr. Tianchi for more than ten years, of course people can be trusted, Zhang Yang mainly asked what he had eaten in the past two days, and Wu Ma carefully explained the situation.

From everything Wu's mother said, he didn't notice anything wrong, and Zhang Yang looked in the kitchen again. Thick eyebrows tightened, Mr. Tianchi's symptoms are poisoning at all, since the basic elimination of dietary factors, and the possibility of poisonous insect bites has been ruled out, then there is only one possibility that he inhaled poison.

Luo Huining saw him checking around, and also felt a little curious, and whispered: "Do you suspect that Mr. is poisoned?."

Zhang Yang said: "What did Mr. Tianchi do before he felt uncomfortable?" ”

Luo Huining hadn't answered yet, and Mother Wu on the side said, "He's practicing boxing!" ”

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. Mr. Tianchi's Tai Chi is perfect. This time of day in the morning is his thunderous practice time: "Where to practice boxing?".

Mother Wu pointed to the southeast corner of the courtyard: "It's all been there recently!" ”

Zhang Yang walked over slowly, he checked very carefully, searching one by one in the place where Mr. Tianchi often practiced. Luo Huining didn't understand what Zhang Yang was doing, shook her head, and came to her daughter's side, only to find Wen Ling's bright eyes looking at Zhang Yang coldly. Luo Huining stretched out her hand to pull her daughter's arm, but Wen Ling suddenly dodged away and said coldly: "Don't touch me!" ”

Her daughter's indifferent attitude made Luo Huining's heart feel sour, and since Wen Ling woke up, her whole person seemed to have completely changed. Even in the face of his mother, there is no warmth at all. Although Luo Huining was casual on the surface, she didn't know how many tears she had shed behind her back.

Zhang Yang finally made a discovery, and found a bunch of small lilac flowers in the flowers around Mr. Tianchi's practice, he frowned, looked at the flowers carefully, brushed aside the branches and leaves, and saw a silver trace below. Although separated by a distance, he still smelled the fishy smell, Zhang Yang held his breath, took out the silver needle from the needle box, picked a little, and then touched the silver needle on the purple petals, a strange scene appeared, the purple flower instantly changed color, from purple to red, then from red to pink, pink gradually faded, and finally completely white.

Luo Huining and Wen Ling both saw this amazing scene, and Luo Huining snorted and wanted.

Zhang Yang made a gesture to stop them from coming, he searched in the grass for a while, before he straightened up, returned to Luo Huining's side and said: "Mr. Tianchi is indeed poisoned, this plant is called Mirage Flower, the fragrance of the flower is poisonous, every morning to morning is the time when the toxicity is the strongest, and Mr. Tianchi is exactly here." When I practiced, I inhaled more poisonous gas.

Luo Huining was full of surprise and said: "There is such a thing, how can there be such a poisonous flower?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently: "This kind of poisonous flower is rare, but the flower is poisonous, and the antidote is its rhizome!" He went to the side to get a flower shovel, and carefully dug up the mirage flowers by the roots, this flower and plant looked very good, but the rhizome was very large, Zhang Yang took out the rhizome and handed it to Wu's mother, so that she used a juicer to juice the rhizome, and then gave it to Mr. Tianchi.

Wen Ling looked at everything Zhang Yang did coldly, and suddenly asked, "How can this flower grow here?"

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "According to some information I have read from books, the place where mirages grow is often accompanied by poisonous insects, but I have only checked the surroundings, and there are no traces of poisonous insects

Wen Ling yawned: "I'm a little tired, Mom, when are we going back?" ”

Luo Huining said: "You ask Xiao Chen to send you back first, and I have to stay to take care of Mr." ”

Wen Ling nodded. turned around and left, and didn't even say hello to Zhang Yang when he left.

Luo Huining looked at her back and couldn't help sighing, since her daughter woke up, instead of feeling intimacy, she felt that the distance between them was getting more and more estranged. Zhang Yang had already sensed what she was thinking from Luo Huining's expression, and comforted softly: "Godmother, time will change everything."

Luo Huining said sadly: "I have been waiting for ten years, waiting for a daughter who has become a stranger, I don't know how long I will have to wait before she is willing to return to me." ”

Zhang Yang pondered for a while, and then said, "Has Sister Ling often come here recently?"

Luo Huining nodded and said, "Yes, she has come to learn calligraphy from Mr. Tianchi every day recently, what's wrong?" ”
