On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish my friends a happy mood and a happy time.

………………………………………………………

Ma Youcai said: "I have received two million from Yi Zhongling, and what he said is not all lies."

Ji Haiyang thought for a moment and said to himself: "Ma Youcai told me about this matter, what does it mean? He collected the money. This is his business. I don't want to get into this muddy water." He smiled quietly and said: "Secretary Ma is kidding."

Ma Youcai sighed and said, "These are all old things."

"Yiyang Local Products Company was the best-performance county-owned enterprise. Yi Zhongling wanted to take out a loan for technical reform, so he often came to me. Once, we were talking in the study room at home. After he left the study room, he called you and said that he had put a card on the sofa and the number was six zeros."

"At that time, state-owned enterprises gave county leaders some small bonuses and small red envelopes, which was also unwritten. The money was a gray income. At that time, I thought it was only 800 yuan, so I didn't care too much, so I put it in the study."

"After that conversation, I went to the provincial party school to study. I left for more than three months and then forgot the card. Two years ago, I accidentally saw this card in the corner of the drawer and asked my lover to sell clothes. My lover took it to the bank ATM and tried it. He was shocked. There were actually two million inside."

What Ma Youcai said was half true and half false. Yi Zhongling gave Ma Youcai three times, two of which were cash and one was a card. In order to explain why he sent the money to the anti-corruption account two years later, Ma Youcai would directly talk about the card.

Of course, if the Commission for Discipline Inspection comes to investigate the matter in detail, there will definitely be problems. Ma Youcai’s biggest idea at present is to deal with the matter in its infancy, which will be the most beneficial to him.

Ma Youcai said with lingering fear: "This is money, it is clearly a life-destroying bomb." This is his truest feeling. Since the Yi Yang Procuratorate had an accident, he slept in the bed and thought about these thick RMB. He always felt like a bomb. Maybe it would explode that day, and Yi Zhongling is the lead of the bomb. It is the button of the bomb, and the thimble of the bomb.

"After discovering this money, I thought of several solutions, one was to return it directly. However, I have collected the money for more than two years, and Yiyang Local Products Company has reached the verge of bankruptcy, so it is not appropriate to return it now."

"The second is to hand over the money to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Doing so will make the yellow mud fall off the crotch. I will never explain it clearly. At least others will think that I did accept Yi Zhongling's bribe at that time, and the impact of this incident was not good if it spread."

"The third is to send it to Hope Project. I originally planned this, but after all, it was not a regular channel. So I gave up."

"In the end, I sent the money to the integrity account." Ma Youcai said: "After sending the money, my heart is relieved, my meal is delicious, and I have to sleep. Because of the experience and lessons of this matter, I have a deep understanding of the principle of selflessness and broadness, so I must adhere to the bidding system for major projects, which is to eliminate greed, so I can sleep and live longer."

Ji Haiyang carefully looked at the order handed over by Ma Youcai and breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "As long as it is sent to the integrity account, there will be nothing wrong."

He did not believe Ma Youcai's words in his mind. The time for Ma Youcai to pay the money should be after Zhu Yan chased Yi Yang Tucai Company, and he said intimately: "Yi Zhongling must make such a large sum of money. Ma Youcai is lying. Zhu Yan's judgment was accurate. He sent the money to the integrity account, which was mostly related to Zhu Yan's investigation of Yi Yang Tucai. In order to review the public relations between the local industry, the procuratorate successively launched arson and murder cases. Ma Youcai must be afraid, so he made up his mind to break away from Yi Zhongling as soon as possible."

"No wonder he sent the money to the integrity account, no wonder he wanted to create a bidding office in Yi Yang, which is to block Yi Zhongling's* through the system."

Ma Youcai said: "Since we can get this letter of report, Secretary Changquan and other municipal party committee leaders will definitely get it. I want to go directly to Secretary Changquan to report his thoughts and accept criticism from the leaders."

Ji Haiyang said: "Secretary Ma sent the money to the anti-corruption account two years ago, and the organization will handle this matter correctly."

"Mr. Ji, I should handle this matter quietly, but I thought about it carefully. In order not to let these letters cause a gap between us, I feel it is necessary to talk to you openly and honestly." Ma Youcai sighed: "In recent years, I have worked with several comrades. My biggest feeling is that harmony will win, and fighting will lead to both losses. I hope that both of us can cooperate sincerely so that we will not give villains a chance to sow discord."

He had another meaning without making it clear, that is, Ji Haiyang had a good relationship with Huang Ziti, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and Hou Weidong, deputy director of the commission office. In dealing with this matter, he needed to use Huang Ziti and Hou Weidong, both of them, so he told Ji Haiyang about this matter in advance.

Ji Haiyang is now just acting county magistrate, and there are many places that rely on Ma Youcai. When he saw Ma Youcai speaks very openly, he expressed his opinion: "This is not your own business, but also our team's business. Now Yi Yang is entering the fast lane of rapid development. You cannot disturb Yi Yang's development because of these things. Yi Zhongling is of poor quality. You must resolutely expel him from Yi Yang. He must never interfere in any major engineering projects."

He gave another idea: "I have an idea. At the previous meeting of county-level cadres in the city, Secretary Changquan mentioned that institutional innovation should be carried out. Yiyang County will include all major projects in the unified government procurement in the past two years. This is a big article on the issue of integrity and a matter of Secretary Changquan's concern. Can this matter be taken as a focus and indirectly promoted to municipal leaders through government references and news media, and report Yiyang's integrity achievements."

Ma Youcai said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, just do this method. You have a good relationship with Hou Weidong. We will go to Shazhou tonight to get his situation."

Ji Haiyang immediately called Hou Weidong and said, "Weidong, do you have time tonight? I'll come to Shazhou and invite you to dinner."

Hou Weidong has been having dinner outside every day for a while. Yesterday, Zhang Zhongyuan from the Garden Bureau invited him to dinner. Zhang Zhongyuan was Xiaojia's leader. He was not easy to refuse. Today, he had to give Ji Haiyang a face. Although he wanted to drink some porridge at home, he had to happily say: "Okay, if Secretary Changquan has no major arrangements, I will invite the two leaders to dinner."

After get off work in the afternoon, Hou Weidong sent Zhou Changquan home and rushed to the Chongqing Jianghu Restaurant. Ma Youcai and Ji Haiyang were already waiting in Jianghu Restaurant.

After entering the door, Hou Weidong bowed and said, "I'm really sorry, let the two leaders wait for me." He saw that there were only Ma Youcai and Ji Haiyang in the room, and thought to himself, "Why didn't Yang Dajin and Liu Kun come? Ma and Ji are so mysterious, probably because of that letter. This is Ma Youcai's business, Ji Haiyang will get involved."

After sitting down, Ma Youcai said, "I recently received a letter of report. Did you see it?"

The letter was almost the same as the letter sent to the Municipal Party Committee Office. Hou Weidong said intimately: "It was indeed for this letter." Ma Youcai handed the form to the anti-corruption account to Hou Weidong and told the story.

Hou Weidong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He said, "Secretary Changquan read this letter and was very cautious. He had signed this letter to Secretary Ji. He signed a passage. I remember very clearly that even if you don't let a bad person go, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. You must strictly demand the cadres and protect the cadres. Please handle it carefully. Report important situations to me at any time."

After learning about Zhou Changquan's signature, Ma Youcai's stone finally fell down. He raised his wine glass and said, "For leaders like Secretary Changquan, we can only feel at ease when we charge and fight on the front line. The big stone that has been pressed in my heart for two years has finally fallen down. The three of us will have a good drink."

At this point, the three of them understood the matter and came to an end. They drank a bottle of white wine with great interest.

Ma Youcai said with a little drunkenness: "Haiyang, Weidong, I have been the county magistrate and the county party committee secretary for many years, and there are many people who have worked in the team. The one who admires the most is Secretary Zhu Yan. Maoyun is a mess. He has not been in the past for a long time and has a bit of prestige among the cadres and the masses. I heard that the provincial party committee is very satisfied with him."

"To be honest, I learned a lot from Secretary Zhu Yan. Secretary Zhu Yan has the ability to master the overall situation and the mind of uniting comrades. He is a respectable good comrade. The important step for Yiyang Xin Management Committee to achieve today's achievements is to receive support from the Provincial Development Bank. Comrade Zhu Yan made an indelible contribution."

Ji Haiyang and Hou Weidong are both Zhu Yan's direct descendants. Ma Youcai expressed his respect for Zhu Yan and expressed his desire to maintain a good relationship with Ji Haiyang and Hou Weidong from this level. Ji Haiyang and Hou Weidong are both smart people, and they can hear this meaning very clearly.

Ji Haiyang said: "Yi Yang can achieve today's achievements, which is the result of the joint efforts of Secretary Zhu, Secretary Ma, Secretary Yang and others. I feel that I have a lot of worry on my shoulders. However, with Secretary Ma at the helm, Secretary Yang, Director Hou and other comrades, I believe that I can do a good job in the Yi Yang government, satisfy the people and reassure the people."

This statement is three points to the truth, three points to the wine talk, and three points to the official words.

Ma Youcai said with a smile on his face: "Okay, for the sake of Yi Yang's tomorrow, the three of us will have a big drink."

He returned to the Crescent Tower with alcohol. Xiaojia covered his nose with his hands and said, "Change your clothes quickly, brush your teeth, don't smoke your daughter."

When Hou Weidong took a shower, Xiaojia was sitting in the room listening to music. She said happily: "You are a stinky father. I promised to read poetry to the little guy every day. Tell me, have you read one in full?"

Hou Weidong leaned on Xiaojia's lower abdomen and said, "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown." After reading, he smiled and said, "Xiaojia, this is a complete poem. I have finished reading it. Don't say that I haven't finished reading a poem in the future."

"You are cheating, this poem doesn't count. You must at least read the moonlit night of the Tang Dynasty." Xiaojia leaned against Hou Weidong's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow you go to Lingxi to study, drive slowly, don't exceed 120 yards."
