Chapter 86: Suspicion
"What are you talking about, Township Chief Ma," Liu Guangquan's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, and at the same time, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Chenwan on the side, and said in his heart, could it be that Lin Chenwan and Lu Mingqiang colluded and set up a bitter plan.
It's no wonder that he will be careful, those who work hard in the officialdom will always have a few more eyes than others, and the angle of looking at the problem is also very different, besides, as we all know, in Guantang, Ma Jingming is very close to him Liu Guangquan, and he is not quite on the right path with Lin Chendu, and he overthrows Ma Jingming, which can be said to be a lot of benefits for Lin Chendu.
But did Lin Chenwan really dare to give up such a big price to design Ma Jingming.
Lin Chenwan was also surprised when he heard this, raised his head to look at Lu Mingqiang, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't Township Chief Ma go to the countryside, could they have seen it wrong?"
"Yes, that's why it's even more suspicious,"
Lu Mingqiang was already sweating on his forehead, he knew that after he said this, he would definitely offend Ma Jingming and even Liu Guangquan, but at this moment, he couldn't care about it at all, and said eagerly: "According to eyewitnesses, I met Township Chief Ma at about four or five o'clock, he was in a hurry, and the witnesses also greeted him and asked him to sit at home, but he left in a hurry without delay, as if he was in a hurry, and according to our current investigation, The few people who saw the head of Ma Township saw him near the place where the teachers and students of the Agricultural College stayed this time, if it weren't for him, how could he have attended those places when he should have gone to the countryside?"
Lin Chendui frowned.
"It's just playing the piano,"
Liu Guangquan shouted with a straight face: "There is no real evidence at all, you dare to make up and suspect a government cadre, do you usually handle cases like this, do you know how much negative impact your words just now will have on the image of our government if they spread outside, let me ask you, do you dare to be responsible for what you just said?"
The tone of this series of questions became more severe, and in the end, he almost yelled.
Lu Mingqiang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, Liu Guangquan deserved to be the leader of Guantang, and he launched a prestige, and the momentum was still amazing, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no way out, and Ai Ai explained in a word: "I just said that Township Chief Ma happened to appear there, and I didn't say that he did it, as for the final situation, we have to investigate carefully, anyway, we will not wronged a good person, and we will never let go of a bad person,"
Hearing Lu Mingqiang's words, Liu Guangquan was so angry that he trembled, and he just wanted to get angry, but he heard Lin Chendui say in a round: "Secretary Liu, forget it, Director Lu and they are also trying their best to investigate the case, hehe, for them, all people are suspects before the suspicion is eliminated, even if it is Secretary Liu, you and I, maybe they are the objects of their suspicions......"
"Don't you dare," Lu Mingqiang said with a smile, and by the way, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart that fortunately, there was Township Chief Lin here, otherwise it would be difficult to hold on to this meeting today.
Liu Guangquan's face softened a little, but he still said angrily: "Even if this is the case, we can't doubt a leading cadre in our township at every turn, how can we do the work of the masses in the future, and let others think of us grassroots cadres,"
Lin Chenwan said with a smile: "So, before this matter is revealed, it must be kept secret, and we must not make things full of storms in the city before there is a spectrum," after saying that, he instructed Lu Mingqiang: "Director Lu, the stakes are very high, you must be closely investigated, and you must not let go of any suspicion, but in the process of investigation, you can only report to Secretary Liu and me, and before you get the instructions of Secretary Liu and me, you must not act rashly,"
Lu Mingqiang was overjoyed when he heard this, Lin Chendu's words were undoubtedly given to him to investigate Ma Jingming's Shang Fang Sword, and he hurriedly responded.
Lin Chenwan turned his head to Liu Guangquan and said: "Secretary Liu, I think that before the facts of the case are clear, it is inconvenient for this matter to be leaked out for the time being, so as not to cause an uproar and unnecessary trouble, do you see if you want to publicize it as food poisoning,"
Liu Guang's heart was on fire, and he said to Lin Chendui with a blue face: "You can do whatever you want, just report to me when the time comes," and then got up angrily, walked out with his hands behind his back, and just walked out of the office, but accidentally tripped over the threshold, stumbled, and almost fell.
Lin Chendui looked at Liu Guangquan's back, sighed deeply, and didn't know what it was like, in short, it was not comfortable, in all fairness, he didn't want to wrestle with Liu Guangquan, Liu Guangquan is a lot older, although stubborn, but he is also a person worthy of admiration, but in the handling of many principles and things, he can't make the slightest concession, therefore, sometimes, confrontation is inevitable and helpless.
Lu Mingqiang didn't know what Lin Chenwan was thinking at the moment, but looking at the calm and calm smile on his face, the admiration of the obedient heart churned outward, and after a few simple words, he let the always stubborn Liu Guangquan go, and he could only look inside his stomach when he knocked out his teeth, how could he have this kind of kung fu at his age.
Lu Mingqiang said with a hippie smile: "Hehe, Secretary Liu is really old, I think this Guantang, we have to take the lead in order to have vigorous vitality,"
"Nonsense," Lin Chendu's face sank when he heard this, he turned around and glared at him, and said sharply: "Director Lu, you have to remember that Secretary Liu is the secretary of our Guantang Township Party Committee, the number one, I don't want to hear this kind of bastard talk in the future,"
"Yes, yes, look at me, what are you talking about," Lu Mingqiang was stunned, his face was also very embarrassed, and then he was busy laughing again, but he was very disapproving, in his opinion, Lin Chenwan said this, it was nothing more than a face project, how could anyone not like to listen to flattery.
Lin Chendui's expression eased at this time, and he said to Lu Mingqiang: "You step up the investigation of the poisoning incident, but before there is conclusive evidence, you must not have any excesses, let alone let others misunderstand that we are targeting Township Chief Ma,"
Lu Mingqiang showed a meaningful smile on his face, "Hehe, Township Chief Lin, please rest assured, I will definitely do this beautifully,"
Lin Chenwan was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Mingqiang didn't understand what he meant, to be honest, he was really afraid that Lu Mingqiang would mistakenly think that he wanted to take Ma Jingming to operate, it is undeniable that this is an excellent time to take down Ma Jingming, whether this matter was done by him or not, he could not escape suspicion, many times, in fact, as long as this is enough, taking down Ma Jingming and replacing it with someone else can not only establish his authority, but also greatly enhance his right to speak in Guantang, to say that Lin Chenwan is not motivated at all, it is impossible.
But he thought about it, the current primary task of Guantang is development, if you want to develop, stability is the indispensable foundation, if everyone is trapped in endless internal friction and struggle for power and profit, if you want to do things, then you will inevitably be subject to all kinds of constraints, this is not what he wants to see, of course, if the existence of other people hinders his implementation of the outline, then Lin Chenwan will not hesitate to fight.
Lin Chenwan just wanted to tell Lu Mingqiang a few words, but he saw Lu Mingqiang mysteriously glance back, then lowered his voice and said to him happily: "Township Chief Lin, Secretary Liu was here just now, I didn't want to say, in fact, we now have some evidence......
Liu Guang walked out of Lin Chendu's office with a full hum, feeling particularly depressed and uncomfortable.
It is undeniable that after Lin Chendui came to Guantang, he made a lot of efforts for the development of Guantang, and he also particularly appreciated this thoughtful and pragmatic young man, but when it came to power, he was very jealous and repulsed by Lin Chendu.
In the past, Guantang can be said to be the dominant family of Liu Guangquan, no matter how others intrigue and-for-tat, but in the end, he had to make a decision, even if it was the former township chief Chen Guohua, he also respected him, and whenever there was any dispute, it was mostly based on his opinion, but now that Lin Chendui came, the situation seemed to have changed dramatically, first there was Feng Xiaohua, as if he had changed a person, as if he was the only one in his eyes Lin Chendui, and almost became Lin Chendu's hardcore subordinate, often charges on the front line, even he dares to top, and then, it is this Lu Mingqiang, as if he doesn't know what kind of soup has been poured into Lin Chendui, he only listens to him Lin Township Chief, there is no secretary in his eyes at all, and seeing that Li Hao also has signs of moving closer to Lin Chendui, this makes him anxious, if this goes on like this, won't this Guantang become his Lin Chendui's world, so is there still value in his own secretary.
Liu Guangquan knows that he is a lot older, but in his opinion, he is still very early to retire, not to mention what kind of development he wants to have in his career, but one day when he is in Guantang, he is the leader of Guantang, and he will never allow others to challenge his authority.
Ma Jingming's home is in Yangjiaping, which is about three or four miles away from Guantang Street, and after leaving the street, there are potholes, bags, rugged and winding bad roads, but fortunately, Liu Guangquan is also used to walking on weekdays, and he arrived at his door with a bag of cigarettes.
On the one hand, Guantang is a poor and distant place, and many outsiders are unwilling to come here to take up posts, and secondly, in order to take care of the kind of cadres who have been working outside for a long time, but are separated from their wives and children, and their parents, Liu Guangquan, secretary of the township party committee, is also a native of Guantang.
Ma Jingming's house is similar to other peasant houses, they are all three main houses facing north and south, flanked by kitchens, thatched huts and pens for raising pigs, sheep and cattle, but surrounded by red brick walls, as well as the big iron gate with a foreign atmosphere, all make his house very different from the surrounding farmhouses, which can be seen from afar.
At this time, the genius gradually brightened, but there were already many villagers on the road who rushed to the street, which made the deserted mountain road a little more popular, but Ma Jingming's house was still closed, and Liu Guang picked up the dry tobacco pouch without being angry, and knocked heavily on the big iron door, and the sound was piercing and loud, spreading far and wide.
After a while, a woman's voice came from the room: "Who, it's so early in the morning," and the voice seemed a little impatient.
"I, Liu Guangquan," Liu Guangquan said in a sullen voice.
"Oh, Secretary Liu," the voice was a little surprised, and then there was silence for a moment, before hearing the sound of small footsteps in the courtyard, and then, a small door on the big iron gate creaked out of the inside, revealing a white woman's face, who was only in her thirties, and looked like she was thoughtful, but it was obviously just now, it looked unkempt, and her eyes were still a little misty.
This woman Liu Guangquan recognized that it was Ma Jingming's little daughter-in-law Guo Yuzhen, she married to Guantang from other places, almost ten years younger than Ma Jingming, of course, it was also because of Ma Jingming's status as a government cadre, otherwise, almost no girls from other places were willing to marry Guantang.
As soon as he saw Liu Guangquan who was standing at the door "let's da" smoking a dry cigarette, Guo Yuzhen squinted her eyes and smiled, but she also showed a little cuteness, "Oh, Secretary Liu is here, it's looking for our family Jingming, didn't Jingming go to the countryside, not at home,"
"Don't give me nonsense, I know he's at home," Liu Guangquan squeezed into the door with a calm face, Guo Yuzhen had no choice but to move to the side, Liu Guangquan entered the courtyard and walked straight towards the main house.
The neatly plastered cement floor in the yard is really uncommon in Guantang.
"Secretary Liu, Jingming, he's really not at home...... I'm the only woman in the house, so it's not very convenient...... Oh, Secretary Liu, really ......" Guo Yuzhen trotted all the way to stop her, but Liu Guangquan didn't look at her, and just walked to the main house, so anxious that Guo Yuzhen didn't even stomp her feet.
Liu Guangquan didn't go up the steps yet, the bamboo curtain in the hall was lifted, Ma Jingming walked out while wearing clothes, his face was still a little embarrassed, he smiled at Liu Guangquan, shouted: "Secretary Liu's ......" and then gave Guo Yuzhen a look, shouting: "Why don't you hurry up and make a cup of bamboo leaf green for Secretary Liu that he likes to drink,"
"Oh," Guo Yuzhen responded obediently, turned around and went in.
Ma Jingming lifted the bamboo curtain again, and when he saw the gloomy meaning on Liu Guangquan's face, his heart suddenly burst out, and he smiled at Liu Guangquan and said: "Secretary Liu, come, please sit inside, it's cold outside in the morning, be careful of catching a cold,"
The house is also very beautiful, with pale yellow tiles, black sofas, brown coffee tables, yellow combination cabinets, and a 21-inch large color TV, which is the same as Ma Jingming's dress, it is very particular at first glance, and some people will believe it if it is a house in the city.
It's not the first time Liu Guangquan has come to Ma Jingming, but every time he comes, he always can't help frowning, he always feels that Ma Jingming's family is too exquisite, and he is a little unsociable, if Ma Jingming is just an ordinary person, it is easy to say that he can make money with his ability, then it is worth vigorously publicizing, but after all, he is a government cadre, easy to be criticized, Liu Guangquan has heard criticism from others more than once.
As soon as she sat down, Guo Yuzhen diligently brought a fruit plate, a cigarette tray and a melon seed candy plate, in addition to a cup of steaming tea, and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu hasn't been to sit at home for a while, ...... before she finished speaking, she saw Ma Jingming winking at her, she smiled and said: "Hehe, you guys talk first, I'll cook, Secretary Liu will taste my steamed xiaolongbao later,"
"Secretary Liu, I know it's wrong for me not to go to Niu's shop, but I really don't want to face Lin Chendui's smug look of the kid, damn, don't think that you can make waves here in Guantang with a little relationship, Lao Tzu just doesn't dick him," Ma Jingming complained with a blue face, and it could be seen that he had been very angry recently.
Liu Guangquan didn't speak, just smacked the dry tobacco pouch in his hand, and after a while, he said expressionlessly: "So, you were indeed in Guantang yesterday,"
"Yes," Ma Jingming said with some embarrassment, as if he had lied but been exposed, and his old face was slightly red.
"Then you tell me if you did what happened yesterday," Liu Guangquan's voice did not change a trace of emotion, and it was still so peaceful, but Ma Jingming couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Liu Guangquan's eyes stared like bull's eyes, looked at Ma Jingming and said, "I can tell you, if you tell me the truth, I can still help you, otherwise, you just wait to sit through the prison,"
Ma Jingming was so shocked that his head was full of cold sweat, but he was still a little confused, and asked suspiciously: "Secretary Liu, what is the matter, even if it is death, let me be a ghost or not?"
Liu Guangquan looked at him carefully again, and saw that he really didn't seem to be a fake, so he told him what happened last night, of course, including Lu Mingqiang's words that he doubted him, and he didn't hide it at all.
Ma Jingming's eyes were full of gold when he heard this, as if someone had punched him heavily in the temple, his brain was buzzing, his face was green, and after a while, he scolded with his throat: "Paralysed Lu Mazi, did Lao Tzu copy your ancestral grave or kill your father, you want to harm Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu and you are not finished......"
Most of the grassroots cadres are from the countryside, and their quality is not too high, and they are naturally not very civilized in words, and it seems that dirty exports have become a major feature of them, and most ordinary people seem to eat this set, but Ma Jingming has always regarded himself as different from others, and he is very particular about what he says and does.
Guo Yuzhen heard Ma Jingming's angry voice, and was so frightened that she hurriedly came out of the kitchen, with dough on her hands, and looked at the two of them a little at a loss.
After Ma Jingming scolded for a while, he seemed to vent the depression in his heart, and then turned his head to Liu Guangquan and said with a sad face: "Secretary Liu, think about it, how could I do such a thing, I admit it, I do hate this Lin Chendui, but give me a hundred more guts, I don't dare to do this kind of thing,"
