After eating in the food stall, Chen Xing and the other two were ready to go back to the small villa of the Municipal Party Committee's guest house. Li Yong had drunk a lot in the evening, so the three of them did not intend to drive back. Instead, they stopped a taxi. "Driver, go to the Municipal Party Committee's guest house." Huang Jianghua said.
"The Municipal Party Committee's guest house?" "Guys, judging from your accent, you're not from Mount Wang, are you? Why did you come to Mount Wang on a business trip? Why did you stay in the Municipal Party Committee's guest house? It's not necessarily cheaper than a hotel." The taxi driver said.
Hearing this, Chen Xing and the others smiled and did not speak. Looking at the traffic outside the window and the traffic police that could be seen from time to time on the roadside, Chen Xing had an idea and asked with a smile, "Driver, these traffic police won't arrest your taxi, will they?
Arresting private cars has almost aroused public anger. If they also arrest our taxi, it will really cause a riot. "
"I can't." The taxi driver said with a smile. "They arrest private cars to accuse them of operating illegally, but they have no reason to arrest our taxi, unless we run a red light or violate the rules."
As the taxi driver spoke, he turned to look at Chen Xing and the others. "You've been in Mount Wang for a few days, but you even know this?" "It seems that our shabby place is really notorious. Good things don't go out, but bad things spread far and wide."
"Driver, will the traffic police arrest private cars at will?" Chen Xing frowned.
"That's right. They don't care whether you are carrying relatives or friends in the car. They will insist that you are operating illegally with a private car. If you don't pay the fine, your driver's license will be revoked." The taxi driver smiled. "But then again, not all of them are arrested at will. It's true that some people drive private cars to pick up passengers, but the auxiliary police are really f * cked up. They don't care about the truth. Many people who are arrested are innocent and can only pay the fine."
"Are those auxiliary police arresting cars all over the city?" "Then how dare anyone drive on the street?" Chen Xing asked in confusion.
Of course, they didn't dare to do that. Generally, they gathered at the city's long-distance bus stations, short-distance bus stations, and the North Bus Station to catch cars. Therefore, many locals had learned their lesson and knew that they couldn't stop at the bus stations. Otherwise, they would be caught as illegal vehicles. However, there were also some really unlucky ones who were stopped and fined even if they didn't stop. The taxi driver laughed.
"Master, from what you've said, these auxiliary police officers are really daring. Huang Jianghua interrupted with a smile.
These assistant police officers didn't have the guts. Without someone backing them up, it would be strange if they dared to act recklessly. The taxi driver curled his lips. "Brother, nowadays, you don't have to say things too clearly. You all know what's going on with the government. They eat people up without spitting out their bones."
Chen Xing nodded and looked at Huang Jianghua. Chen Xing was slightly silent. He didn't agree with the other party's words, but he knew that he couldn't refute it. From the other party's standpoint, it was not wrong to say such a thing. Moreover, the situation in Wangshan City was completely beyond his expectation. Chen Xing didn't know that Huang Youliang, the deputy mayor and the director of the Municipal Bureau, who came to report to him last time, said to strengthen the legal and regulatory education of the auxiliary police and carry out internal rectification. What was the so-called strengthening of legal and regulatory education and internal rectification? What he heard now was undoubtedly a satire of the results of Huang Youliang's report. At this moment, Chen Xing even wanted to call Huang Youliang in front of him to question him, but he also knew that it was not wise to do so.
"Master, you said that there are people arresting cars at those bus stations every day, right?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes, although I can't guarantee that there are people arresting cars every day for 365 days a year, it is true that there are people arresting cars every day this month. We are all joking in private that the Municipal Bureau is out of money again and needs to arrest more cars to pay fines, or else there will be no bonus at the end of the year." The taxi driver laughed.
As they talked, the taxi soon arrived at the guesthouse of the Municipal Party Committee in Wangshan City, which was not large. Huang Jianghua paid and the three got out of the car. When Chen Xing saw that Li Yong's eyes were about to close, he couldn't help but laugh. "Li Yong drank too much tonight. It seems that he can't take it anymore."
"Secretary … Secretary, who said that? I can still drink." Li Yong was sleepy when he was in the car. When he got out of the car and the cold wind blew, he was refreshed. When he heard Chen Xing's words, he immediately responded.
"Well, you can still drink." Chen Xing smiled. He knew that arguing with a drunk person was asking for trouble. He gestured to Huang Jianghua to support Li Yong, and the three of them walked back to their residence.
Back in the small villa, Huang Jianghua directly helped Li Yong back to his room. Li Yong fell down with a bang and began to snore. Huang Jianghua shook his head and smiled bitterly. He helped Li Yong take off his shoes and covered him with the quilt before leaving.
"Li fell asleep, right?" Chen Xing sat on the sofa and looked up at Huang Jianghua.
As soon as he lay down, he began to snore. "He probably hasn't had a good drink for a long time. You gave him permission to drink tonight. Look, he's more excited than anyone else." Huang Jianghua said with a smile, then walked to the sofa and sat down.
Chen Xing nodded and did not speak again. He had only drunk one or two bottles of beer in the evening, so Chen Xing's mind was still very clear. What he had heard tonight made Chen Xing feel angry.
"Secretary, are you still thinking about what you heard last night?" Huang Jianghua looked at Chen Xing's face and asked carefully.
"As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Wangshan City, how can I remain indifferent to what I heard tonight?" Chen Xing glanced at Huang Jianghua. He and Huang Jianghua were only two or three years apart. Although they were superiors and subordinates, Huang Jianghua had been with him for a long time. Sometimes Chen Xing regarded him as a friend who he could chat with. In fact, the relationship between them was not purely that of superiors and subordinates.
"Secretary, we've just come to Wangshan. Now we're like blind people. We can only listen to what the people below us say. We don't know a lot of the real situation, so it's no wonder that we're deceived." Huang Jianghua said helplessly.
"Since we can't count on the reports of the people below us, we have to rely on ourselves to listen and see. I asked Li Yong to walk around the streets and chat with people when he had nothing to do, so that he could listen and see on our behalf and understand what we can't know by sitting in the office." Chen Xing said in a low voice.
"I understand what you mean, Secretary." Huang Jianghua nodded. Li Yong was now equivalent to another pair of eyes and ears for Chen Xing, helping Chen Xing to listen and see more. Li Yong, who usually had more time, was completely competent for this task. As for Chen Xing's car, the car team could arrange a driver at any time, so there was no need for Li Yong to stay all the time.
Chen Xing looked at the time on the wall and said, "Xiao Huang, I won't go to the office tomorrow morning. I'll go to a few bus stations with Li Yong. You go to the office first. If someone asks you, you can tell them that I have some personal matters to deal with."
"Okay." Huang Jianghua nodded in understanding and looked at Chen Xing. "Secretary, you drank a little tonight. Do you want to go to bed early?"
"Alas, it's not even nine o 'clock yet. How can I fall asleep now?" Chen Xing shook his head. "Before coming to Mount Wang, the leaders of the province talked to me and hoped that I would secretly pay attention to the protest that the people of Mount Wang went to the province last time. Did you hear it last night? There must be some problems with the old city reconstruction project, at least in terms of compensation for the demolition.
"It should be possible. Otherwise, the people would not have gone all the way to the province to protest." Huang Jianghua nodded in agreement and then said, "Secretary, these things were done before we came to Mount Wang. Now the demolition work has long been over, and we don't know where the relocated residents have moved to. Even if we want to visit them in private, we can't find them.
This matter can't be rushed. We have to find a local who is familiar with the situation. Maybe that can help us. " Chen Xing narrowed his eyes. "Secretary Li Yanpei's daughter should be trustworthy. The most important thing is that she is a local. I should be able to find her."
"No wonder you suddenly asked if Miss Li had contacted me during dinner. It turns out that you were thinking about this at that time." Huang Jianghua was suddenly enlightened.
Hearing this, Chen Xing smiled. He had asked Huang Jianghua just now not just because of this idea. He was also concerned about Secretary Li Yanpei's car accident.
"Secretary, it's not very late now. Why don't I call Miss Li and ask her to come over?" Huang Jianghua asked Chen Xing for his opinion.
"Forget it now. Besides, it's not convenient to do it here." Chen Xing waved his hand. This was the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. Be careful of the eavesdroppers.
"Secretary, are you saying that someone is watching us here?" Huang Jianghua was shocked.
"I don't mean that, but we are staying in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee. Do you think no one will notice who comes in and out of our place?" Chen Xing shook his head and said.
Huang Jianghua did not speak. Chen Xing's words really shocked him. Chen Xing had come to Mount Wang to serve as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. Huang Jianghua had always thought that he had come to Mount Wang with Chen Xing. Now it seemed that he had thought too simply.
"Secretary, didn't Miss Li come directly to the guest house to look for you last time? Didn't others notice her?" Huang Jianghua thought of something and suddenly raised his head.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be." Chen Xing nodded and said.
"Secretary, do you remember that Miss Li said something last time? That day, she had a friend from the Justice Bureau who went to visit the family of the driver who caused the accident with her. When she came back in the afternoon, she was informed that she had been transferred to a remote mountain county. Does this also mean that someone is following her?" Huang Jianghua said.
"No matter whether there is or not, remember one thing in the future. We have just arrived in Mount Wang. No matter what we do or say, we have to be careful." Chen Xing said solemnly.
"Secretary, don't worry. I will." Huang Jianghua nodded seriously. At this moment, Wei Sida, the director of the General Office, who had always been smiling at him, suddenly appeared in his mind. Because he was now also the deputy director of the General Office, he had a lot of contact with Wei Sida. Wei Sida gave him a good feeling, but at this moment, Huang Jianghua had an inexplicable creepy feeling.
While the two were talking, Chen Xing, who did not intend to go to bed so early, turned on the TV and casually switched to Mount Wang TV Station. At 9: 30 pm, the Mount Wang News would be replayed. At this time, the TV station was playing a TV series. Chen Xing put down the remote control and watched casually.
At 9: 30 pm, he watched the Mount Wang News. The host was Su Yan. Dressed in professional attire, Su Yan looked particularly elegant and beautiful. She was very beautiful and had a unique charm. Chen Xing somewhat understood why Su Yan was so famous in Mount Wang. This beautiful news host was a beautiful scenery in this boring news program, which made people's eyes light up.
The news programs were all reports that whitewashed peace. This leader went to inspect the projects, and that leader went to inspect the people's livelihood. Most of them only reported the good news and not the bad news. As the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, it was actually meaningless for Chen Xing to watch the local news reports. However, for someone who had just come to Mount Wang, it was possible for him to observe something from the news reports.
Chen Xing soon discovered a detail. He only returned to Mount Wang this evening and went to Nanzhou yesterday, so there was no report on him, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, in the news these two days. The first news was related to Mayor Li Kaishan. However, after careful reading, Chen Xing published the news reports related to the Executive Deputy Mayor after Li Kaishan. It was longer than Li Kaishan, and there were more pictures and close-ups.
Chen Xing watched the news quietly and turned to look at Huang Jianghua. Xiao Huang, what do you think after reading it?
"Secretary, why do I feel that Deputy Mayor Zhang seems to have a very high status in the city, as if he is the same as Mayor Li?" Huang Jianghua was puzzled. Just by looking at the news, it seemed that he had more news reports than Mayor Li.
"If you can pay attention to these details, it means that you haven't been with me for a year in vain." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Secretary, don't praise me, or I will be complacent." Huang Jianghua smiled.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. It's 10 o 'clock after watching the news. Let's rest and go to a few bus stations tomorrow morning." As he spoke, Chen Xing got up.
It was a quiet night. The next morning, Li Yong got up earlier than anyone else. He slept soundly at 8 o 'clock last night and woke up at 5 o' clock in the morning. He ran a few laps around the small park inside the hostel before coming back. When Chen Xing and Huang Jianghua also got up, Li Yong scratched his head in embarrassment. "Secretary, Secretary Huang, did I sleep like a pig last night?"
"Not only like a pig, but I was almost unconscious. I started snoring as soon as I got into bed. I even took off your shoes and covered you with the quilt." Huang Jianghua said with a smile.
"Secretary Huang, thank you for your hard work. I drank too much last night." Li Yong said with a bitter smile.
"It's rare to be happy, so it's okay to drink more." Chen Xing smiled. "Okay, let's go for breakfast. Xiao Li, come with me later. Xiao Huang, you go to the Municipal Party Committee. Do you know what to do?"
"Secretary, I know how to deal with it. Don't worry." Huang Jianghua nodded.
The three of them had breakfast together. Huang Jianghua went to the Municipal Party Committee first. Li Yong wanted to get his car but was stopped by Chen Xing. He knew that his car must have been booked by the traffic department. If he took the car there, he would probably not see anything.
"Xiao Li, let's take a taxi this morning." Chen Xing said with a smile.
"Take a taxi?" Li Yong was stunned. He didn't understand why Chen Xing insisted on spending money instead of taking his car.
They took a taxi to the long-distance bus station. Chen Xing looked at the time. It was almost 9 o 'clock, which was the rush hour. When they arrived at the station, Chen Xing got off the car and saw several auxiliary policemen standing at the traffic light outside the station. There was also an official traffic policeman among them. However, he didn't see anyone stopping a car to pay a fine. They were just maintaining traffic order.
"Xiao Li, let's go. Let's take a walk outside the station." Chen Xing said.
Li Yong nodded and vaguely understood what Chen Xing meant. It turned out that Chen Xing came here for a private visit today. No wonder he didn't take the secretary's car.
They walked slowly along the station. At the entrance of the station, Chen Xing soon found several auxiliary policemen sitting or standing there. The sun had just risen. They were sitting in the shade of the trees. If he didn't pay attention, he wouldn't see them.
Chen Xing stood there for more than ten minutes. He raised his hand to look at the time. He didn't see anything. When he was about to go to another station, he suddenly saw several auxiliary policemen resting in the shade of the trees suddenly rush out and stop a private car that was about to pass by.
The next scene was just as Chen Xing expected. The driver was called down and handed a few heads of the old people before he was allowed to leave.
"Secretary, it seems to be the same as last time." Li Yong whispered in Chen Xing's ear. "It seems that what I heard last night is true. This situation has been going on all the time. It hasn't been stopped because you saw it last time."
"It's not that they haven't been ordered to stop, but that they haven't stopped at all." Chen Xing's face darkened.
After that, they didn't say anything more. They still stood there. After standing there for half an hour, Chen Xing soon saw the second car stop and fine, which was exactly the same as the previous scene. Chen Xing didn't know how many cars would be stopped and how much money would be fined in one day. He only knew that the scene in front of him could be described as rampant. The law enforcement officers in uniform were openly doing illegal things.
"Let's go back to the Municipal Party Committee." Chen Xing said with a poker face.
"Ah?" Li Yong looked at Chen Xing dumbfoundedly. "Secretary, are you not going to do anything about this?
Should I rush up now and say that I am the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and catch them on the spot? " Chen Xing shook his head. "It was our car that was stopped last time, but things haven't changed at all. These people are still doing what they should do. Even if we catch them on the spot now, can we solve the problem?"
Li Yong listened to Chen Xing's words and scratched his head hard. Obviously, he didn't understand Chen Xing's words. Chen Xing was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, the highest official in Wangshan City. He could easily do whatever he wanted. Was there anything to worry about?
Li Yong couldn't figure out Chen Xing's thoughts. After thinking for a while, he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. He thought to himself that leaders were really hard to fathom. No wonder he could only be a chauffeur.
As the two of them walked back, they did not pay attention to the sudden roar of engines on the road. However, just as Li Yong was about to flag down a taxi, there was a loud bang. Li Yong felt something dripping on his face. He looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a figure flying forward, landing right at the place where they were about to flag down a taxi.
Li Yong raised his hand and touched his face. He felt something splashed on his face. It was red blood.
About ten meters away, there was a red sports car parked.
The person in the driver's seat had already gotten out of the car and was leaning against the door. There were also people sitting in the car. The driver's hands were straddling the door and he was talking and laughing with the people in the car from time to time.
Li Yong felt like his hair was standing on end. He looked at Chen Xing and clenched his fists. He couldn't help but want to go forward and beat the person up.
A few auxiliary police officers had already rushed forward to check the situation. The auxiliary police officers at the traffic light at the corner also ran over, including the official traffic police officer.
The person who was hit was dead. One of the auxiliary police officers shouted, "He's dead." Someone shouted to call 120. The scene was quite chaotic.
The auxiliary police officers just glanced at the sports car not far away. Only the official traffic police officer walked up and said something to the driver. He nodded and bowed respectfully. After he finished speaking, the driver who got out of the car smiled and waved at him. Then, he got back into the car and drove away.
"Secretary, you see, these … these f * ckers …" Li Yong was so angry that he couldn't speak. Regardless of whether the person who was hit had crossed the road illegally or not, there was no reason to let the driver who caused the accident go.
Chen Xing's face was terrifyingly gloomy. He remembered the license plate number of the sports car. At this time, he walked toward the traffic police officer.
At the Mount Wang Municipal Party Committee, Wei Sida raised his hand to look at the time from time to time. Today, he deliberately asked Chen Junning to come early to wait for him. He arrived before work time. It was already ten o 'clock, but Chen Xing was still nowhere to be seen.
"Secretary Huang, Secretary Chen won't come this morning, right?" Wei Sida couldn't help asking Huang Jianghua.
"Chief Wei, I don't know. Secretary Chen said that he had personal affairs to deal with. I really don't know whether Secretary Chen will come this morning or not, but he will definitely come in the afternoon." Huang Jianghua said with a smile.
"Really." Wei Sida glanced at Huang Jianghua. It would be strange for him to believe what Huang Jianghua said. Huang Jianghua was Chen Xing's confidant from Nanzhou. Other people didn't know Chen Xing's schedule, so it would be strange for Huang Jianghua not to know.
"Secretary Huang, why don't you call Secretary Chen? In the morning, he asked Chen Junning to come over and see the other party. Did he forget about this?" Wei Sida reminded him.
"He probably won't forget, but since Secretary Chen has personal affairs, it should be more urgent, so he delayed it." Huang Jianghua glanced at Chen Junning. "Deputy Director Chen, why don't you come over in the afternoon?"
"No, Secretary Huang, I'll just wait here. It's fine." Chen Junning smiled apologetically.
