When Lu Mingqiang received the call, he was having lunch at home.

He is the director of the Guantang Township Police Station, in his forties, tall, and once a handsome and handsome guy. But now, I can only vaguely see a little shadow of the original from the fat on my face.

Because there was no one on it, Lu Mingqiang had been in the poor countryside of Guantang for more than ten years. At the beginning, he was still a little unwilling, and he moved around, hoping to be transferred to other places, not to mention Yunyan County, even if it was a better township, it was much better than Guantang here. But no matter how he jumped up and down, asked someone to find a relationship, and spent a lot of money, but he never heard a single accurate word, let alone the slightest sign of moving the nest. At this age, he is also a little resigned to his fate. Although Guantang is a place where it is poor, and there is no oil and water, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the people in the mountains are relatively simple, there are petty thieves, but there are not many traitors, so he is still good at doing this director, and he is at ease.

As soon as she heard the piercing phone call, Lu Mingqiang's wife Cao Li muttered dissatisfiedly: "This phone rings all day and night, and you don't want people to live in peace?" ”

Cao Li is a person from Yunyan County, don't look at the waist is thicker than a bucket now, but when she was young, she fell into the water, she was a well-known beauty, and she came to propose marriage, and she was about to step on the threshold. But she fell in love with Lu Mingqiang, who had just returned from demobilization from the army, and insisted on marrying him despite the opposition of her family, and followed him to leave her hometown and come to Guantang. But I didn't expect that almost 20 years have passed, but Lu Mingqiang has never had any great achievements, seeing that the men who didn't even look at him before were all famous, she also accompanied Lu Mingqiang to endure hardships here in Guantang, and she was somewhat resentful in her heart.

Lu Mingqiang is also used to such nagging, when will Cao Li not complain a few words? It's either that the second brother-in-law's house has changed to a big color TV again, or that a former classmate bought a fur coat or something for his wife. For these, he has always entered the left ear and the right ear out, and he has not gone into his heart at all. It is said that you must have a strategy in the system, and you can't fight in a hurry, but in fact, you need strategy in married life.

Lu Mingqiang took out the phone unhurriedly and looked at it, the expression on his face suddenly became rich, and he hurriedly shushed Cao Li: "Be quiet, Township Chief Lin's phone." ”

"Isn't it just a township chief? What's the big deal? Cao Li pursed her lips with a somewhat disdainful expression.

She had also heard that there was a new township chief surnamed Lin in the township, who was not much older than her daughter, but she didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Lu Mingqiang takes the judicial line, although he accepts the dual leadership of the local and county bureaus, but in fact, the local government's right to speak is really limited. She, the director's wife, doesn't take those township chiefs and secretaries very seriously.

"Long hair and short knowledge, you know what?" Lu Mingqiang scolded in a low voice, then got up and walked to the side to answer the phone. Although he knew that the other party couldn't see it at all through the phone, his face was still full of smiles, and his voice was extremely earnest. His actions surprised Cao Li. Even when facing Liu Guangquan, the secretary of the township party committee, he didn't see his husband so flattering and reluctant, what is a township chief? Could it be that this Lin Township Chief, is there really anything unusual?

Cao Li was eating, but she pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what was said on the phone, she was very concerned about her husband's career, and she was thinking about how to make Lu Mingqiang soar and rise to prominence all day long. But except for hearing my husband nodding and saying yes, I didn't hear anything.

The call was not long, just a dozen seconds. Lu Mingqiang hung up the phone, but he didn't go back to the dining table to continue eating, but stood in front of the window in a daze, lit a cigarette, and the expression on his face was a little weird. Cao Li couldn't help but ask, "What is this Township Chief Lin looking for you?" ”

Lu Mingqiang's face was pale, his lips moved, but he didn't speak.

"What's wrong? You mean, huh? I'm dying. The more Lu Mingqiang looked like this, the more flustered Cao Li became, she couldn't even take care of eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked up and took his hand and asked anxiously. No matter how much she sometimes complains about her husband's incompetence and wastefulness, her husband is always the pillar and backbone of this family, and she is not allowed to care.

Lu Mingqiang closed his eyes in pain, shook his head laboriously, opened his eyes suddenly, and roared at Cao Li: "Are you embarrassed to ask?" It's not your good cousin, why not? Do you want to cause trouble? Sooner or later, Lao Tzu will be killed by him! ”

"Cuong?" Cao Li was stunned for a moment, and said a little casually: "What is he doing again?" ”

"What for?" Lu Mingqiang sneered, and said angrily: "You go and ask him yourself, I finally got him into the joint defense, and I want him to behave well, and then find someone to help him turn him positive, but he is good, he doesn't do business, but he does everything on the street all day long." You tell him to let him go home personally, and don't come to harm me again, my small temple can't accommodate him as a great god. ”

"Lu Mingqiang, what do you mean by that?" Cao Li was anxious when she heard this, her apricot eyes widened, her voice suddenly rose eight beats, and she crossed her waist and shouted: "When you came back from demobilization, if it wasn't for my aunt who took 500 yuan to help you dredge up the relationship, would you be able to be a public security officer?" I can tell you, my aunt only has such a son, you promised her the old man, you will take good care of Ah Qiang, if you dare to cross the river and tear down the bridge, I will never spare you. The voice was extremely sharp and high-pitched, with a bit of a shrew's posture of scolding the street.

As soon as he heard Cao Li mention this, Lu Mingqiang's momentum weakened a little, he sighed helplessly, spread his hands, and said aggrievedly: "Why are you turning over these old accounts again?" I, Lu Mingqiang, am I the kind of person who is ungrateful, crossing the river and demolishing bridges? How many troubles has Cuong caused outside over the years, didn't I beg my father to tell my grandmother everywhere to settle it for him? Am I easy? ”

"Then why do you want to drive Cuong away?" Seeing that Lu Mingqiang was soft, Cao Li still said unrelentingly: "When I asked him to come to the joint defense team, I didn't want you to take good care of him. ”

"Who told him to do those good deeds?" Lu Mingqiang hated that iron could not become steel, and raised his voice and said: "If I don't deal with him, someone else will deal with me." You don't want me to spend the rest of my life in prison waiting for you to bring me prison food every day, do you? ”

Cao Li heard Lu Mingqiang say that the problem was so serious, and her heart panicked all of a sudden. If you want to say that it's okay for a woman to shout, but if something really happens, it is guaranteed that there are no six gods. She looked up at Lu Mingqiang, who had a solemn face and was even a little angry, and said inwardly, "What the hell is going on?" Did he kill someone, or did he set fire? You don't dare to protect him? Is there anyone else in Guantang who can make you afraid? Although she didn't want to show weakness in front of her husband, unnaturally, there was still a little more timidity and panic in her tone.

Lu Mingqiang smiled miserably, shook his head and sighed helplessly.

Of course he is not afraid of others, over the years, he is not a director in vain, although he is only a deputy section-level cadre, but the particularity of the position allows him to exert ten times more energy than others, and can weave a network of relationships that others cannot weave together, in Guantang Township, the size is also a remarkable figure, except for Secretary Liu Guangquan, who else is not polite to see him? Even if he is the head of the township and the deputy head of the township, he may not necessarily have his beauty.

But this Lin Chendui who came this time is not comparable to other township chief secretaries.

Before Lin Chenwei arrived, Lu Mingqiang once received a call from Gao Shize, director of the county public security bureau.

To be honest, Lu Mingqiang really didn't have much chance to get in touch with Director Gao. At that time, I was so excited that even my voice trembled a little. At the beginning, in order to transfer his job, he wanted to follow Gao Shize's path several times, but he never had a chance, but he didn't expect that the opportunity would suddenly fall from the sky.

On the phone, Gao Shize didn't say much to him, but simply told him that Lin Chendu, the new township chief of Guantang, had a lot of background, and asked him to fully cooperate with the work of the township chief Lin. Hung up the phone, but Lu Mingqiang vaguely felt that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was in front of him, as long as he could firmly grasp it, let alone transfer his job, maybe he could go to the county to be a director and deputy director before he retired, and it was not an ethereal dream. Therefore, on the second day of Lin Chendu's arrival, he went to visit Lin Chendui under the guise of reporting work, and left Lin Chendu's phone number. At the beginning, I made up my mind that after Lin Chendui came back from research, he would bring his mother-in-law to visit Township Chief Lin again, but he never thought that such a thing would happen at this juncture.

Lin Chenwan couldn't hear the slightest anger on the phone, and just briefly said some situations, but Lu Mingqiang knew that the more this was the case, the more serious the consequences might be. Township Chief Lin may not know the relationship between Ah Qiang and himself, but no matter what, if this matter is not handled well, it will become a thorn buried in the heart of Township Chief Lin. And these, people who are not mixed in the system, have many mysteries that cannot be explained clearly to them. Ah Qiang's matter can be big or small, and it's not good to hear, the whole country, where is there no such thing? But the key is to see if others will take it seriously, and some seemingly inconspicuous things may plant the seeds for future defeat.

After thinking for a while, Lu Mingqiang lowered his face and said to Cao Li: "If you really want to be good for Ah Qiang, hurry up and call him back to me, and I'll see if there is anything else to remedy." ”

Cao Li nodded a little dazedly, and hurriedly went to call again. To be honest, she has never been so confused in her heart as she is at this time.
