As dusk approaches, the west wind rises gradually.

It is another summer evening, and the vastness begins to slowly erode Yangzhou City. Along the Yangxi River, which runs through the city, there are rows of tall buildings on both sides, revealing a little vitality in the darkness. The word "Yangzhou Building Materials City" stands on the riverside, where people are buzzing and crowded, and the depression of all walks of life sets off the real estate industry. The money that ordinary people have worked so hard to save has been exchanged for physical objects, their own homes and their dreams of home.

The weather is so sultry that there is not a cool breeze. As dark clouds occupy the sky layer by layer, covering the whole sky like a curtain, lightning is intermittent like a python, which is an early warning before the storm comes.

"rumbling, rumbling"

? After a few thunders, the wind poured down like a waterfall with rain in its arms. People were waiting under the eaves. The rain beat like a whip on the floor, roof and windows, scratching.

"Bang, bang"

Even if the two shots were mixed with lightning, they were particularly harsh.

Then, sirens, shouts, the commotion and noise of the crowd ...

? The first chapter appalling robbery

? "Rinrin Bell" ...

When the telephone rang, Yu Ziyuan just went to work, made a cup of hot tea and picked up today's city morning post. "A shocking robbery, you deserve it." The headlines of the newspaper reported the robbery in Yangzhou Building Materials City last night. The photo is accompanied by a photo of the deceased. Although it is a secret code, Yu Ziyuan still feels a little twitch in his stomach. He quickly picked up the glass and pressed it, picking up the phone on the table.

? On the phone, it was Bai Yali's voice in the office of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"In this case, the Party Committee of the Bureau will hold a meeting at ten o'clock in the morning to report the case. Please be sure to attend."

? Ok, got it.

Yu Ziyuan looked at the time. It was nine o'clock, and it was forty-five minutes before ten o'clock. But because there was still some distance from the city bureau, he called the driver and was ready to leave.

Out of the office, the driver Xiao Li has been waiting by the car.

? "Go to the city bureau"

"ok"

Xiao Li agreed and stopped talking. Xiao Li has been driving in Ziyuan for more than four years. He seldom talks, has lively eyes and moves quickly. Yu Ziyuan was quite satisfied. He thought about talking to Xiao Li about his children's schooling, and then thought that he had not made any further progress in this position for more than four years, so he felt dull and uninterested in talking. Yu Ziyuan is the detachment leader of the Economic Investigation Detachment of Yangzhou Public Security Bureau and a member of the party group of the Municipal Bureau. As a sub-provincial capital city, the composition of the party group is slightly complicated. Mr. Zhang, the director and secretary of the Party Committee, has just been promoted from the director of public security in other prefecture-level cities to the director level. Yao Jian, the executive deputy director, and several deputy directors are the CPC, and the directors of transportation, criminal investigation and public security are also the CPC, while the directors of economic investigation, national security and network supervision are in the middle. Yu Ziyuan is 45 years old this year, and he has his own innate sense of urgency for the promotion of his position. There seems to be only one step between the departmental level and the departmental level. For him, this is a different world.

Entered the city bureau party committee office, I received a message from Ziyuan on my mobile phone, "Nie Xiaoshan had an accident? ! "An exclamation point, a question mark, Yu Ziyuan didn't know what medicine he was selling in the gourd, and then Li Zekun's phone came in.

Yu Ziyuan looked at the clock on the wall. There are still five minutes left. Then he muted the phone and put it in his pocket. The members of the Party Committee are basically here, except for the main melody Zhang Cheng and his left hand Yao Jianzhong. Yu Ziyuan and several people around him nodded, smiled with a straight face and said hello.

Mr Zhang and Yao Jianzhong came in on time. This is the way of meeting. Standard time is only a requirement for leaders. As for how much time the subordinates arrive in advance, it is a conscious requirement. No one said, but no one didn't do it. There are many such rules in officialdom, some just don't say, some just don't do, some just don't say and do, and some just talk and do. As for how to tell the truth, it depends on everyone's understanding.

Mr. Zhang sat down, first took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then looked at the piles of materials distributed by Bai Yali to the participants sitting by.

"Comrades, there was an armed robbery in Yangzhou Building Materials City last night, and the police record has been sent to everyone. The specific case was notified by Deputy Director Yao. "

Although Yu Ziyuan is reading the materials in his hand, he still feels that Teacher Zhang's stress is on the word "vice". Before Mr. Zhang came, the voice of Yao Jianzhong's succession spread like a raging fire. Now it seems that the "Yao game" that everyone has become accustomed to will take time.

This case is no different from the materials transmitted in Yao Jian. Nie Xiaoshan really had an accident, but he was the victim.

"The dead summer is the mastermind of the robbery. He has been hanging out in Yangzhou building materials market for a long time, blackmailing and committing all kinds of evils. Nie Xiaoshan, as one of the operators, suffered greatly. "

? "A few days before the incident, Xia and his associates asked Nie Xiaoshan to take out100000 yuan, or let Nie Xiaoshan withdraw from the building materials market. On the day of the incident, that is, around 5 pm yesterday, Xia came to Nie Xiaoshan's office to ask for money and threatened Nie Xiaoshan with a gun. Nie Xiaoshan informed the Criminal Investigation Brigade when he pretended to call for money. Captain Li Bo led five policemen to the disposal. "

"After arriving at the scene, five policemen blocked the periphery, and Li Bo entered Nie Xiaoshan's office to negotiate with the robbers. In the face of gunmen taking hostages, Li Bo was fearless in times of crisis. The negotiations were unsuccessful. In order to avoid causing harm to the hostages, they shot decisively, killed the robber Xia, seized a homemade pistol, and successfully rescued the hostages. "

After reporting the case, Yao Jianzhong said slowly, "It is worth celebrating. The handling of this robbery not only protected the lives and property of the people, but also demonstrated the good style of our public security police to fight hard. I have three suggestions. First, arrest the co-suspect Chen Zhidong as soon as possible and bring him to justice as soon as possible. Second, we should pay tribute to the spirit of Li Bo and others who are fearless and dare to fight hard; The third is to do a good job of appeasement of the parties and building materials market operators and restore market order as soon as possible. "

Teacher Zhang didn't speak, looked at everyone, and the members sitting didn't say anything. The meeting room suddenly quieted down, as if sitting in some mud tires in the temple.

? Mr. Zhang slowly lifted his newspaper and put it on the table. The front page of Yangzhou Morning Post is the case report last night. "What's wrong with this newspaper, Feng Xiaofeng, the reporter who gave him courage!" The voice became stern. He turned his head and looked at it. He said, "Does Deputy Director Yao know?"

Yao Jianzhong was a little surprised. "This, the scene is not well managed, is indeed a problem, and I don't know how it was sent by reporters. However, defects cannot be concealed in. Besides, such a big thing can't be hidden, and public opinion can be used well, which can also reassure everyone. "

"If you rest assured, that's fine, but what you are afraid of is to use public opinion as a general, and the propaganda department can't replace the public security department to draw conclusions."

"We must pay attention to similar sensitive incidents in the future, and everyone should take a warning."

"Well, I agree with Deputy Director Yao's suggestion that the administrative department issue a case detection report as soon as possible and cooperate with the inspection department to handle the case."

"Yu Ziyuan, how is your case of sabotaging market operation going now?"

? Yu Ziyuan paused for a moment. He hasn't dropped out of the case report yet. "Progress is ok now. I'll ask the director for a detailed report another day. " Mr. Zhang casually asked the person in charge of several openings, some said something, some perfunctory,

? "It seems that everyone is not ready, so it's nothing. Dissolve today. "

? With a sense of accomplishment, Mr. Zhang picked up the cup and beat everyone.

? Yu Ziyuan took out a mobile phone in his pocket. More than a dozen missed calls belong to Li Zekun. When he called Li Zekun back, he was still thinking, "Chen Zhidong, Chen Zhidong, such a familiar name."

? Chapter 2 A strong man crushed a local strongman

? "In division marshal, in the big ye, but you call me"

"NieXiaoShan has nothing to do. What's your hurry? "

"This is not a matter of NieXiaoShan, is my business. Come and have a look at my sales department. If this continues, I will pack my bags and leave. "

The sales department is the sales department of Li Zekun's "Sunshine Mansion". In recent years, the whole Yangzhou is like a huge construction site. New buildings appear on TV, radio and mobile phones every day. Li Zekun of "Sunshine Mansion" occupies the best river view in Yangzhou, and has completed the third phase from the first phase.

? The wheels are rolling and the dust is flying.

On the way to the sales department, Yu Ziyuan returned to the small village where he grew up. This is an ordinary northern village, with mountains and water at its back and a tributary of Yangxi River in front of it. Yu Ziyuan, Nie Xiaoshan, Li Zekun and Li Guozhao, who are now teachers in No.3 Middle School, ride bicycles along this river to study in the county high school every weekend.

"I can't go to college, even if I did, what's the use? Now I haven't been assigned a job after graduating from college, and I still have to go to work. I want to go to Shenzhen. I heard that there is gold everywhere. As long as I work hard, I can get rich. " At that time, Li Zekun was lean, but he was very tall and his head was surprisingly big, just like donkey dung eggs on sorghum stalks.

"It's amazing. Unlike me, my father won't let me go out. He said that the police station had already greeted me. When I finish the college entrance examination, I can go to the police station as a correspondent. " Nie Xiaoshan, dark and sturdy, answered the question. While admiring, he also showed off, and his face was a little overwhelmed.

? "Come on, you, you can't bear Xu Qin." Yu Ziyuan, who didn't want to talk, didn't like Nie Xiaoshan's meanness and couldn't help but forget it.

"Well, no matter what happens in the future, we must remember our brothers. We will always be brothers." Li Guozhao calmed everyone down,

? "Yes, forever brothers."

? It was a noisy stall with a white skirt looming under the green of the village entrance. When Nie Xiaoshan got off and walked side by side with Xu Qin, Yu Ziyuan and the three of them deliberately increased their horsepower and left jokingly. The sun set lazily behind the mountain, and the smoke from the kitchen began to rise in the village. The theme song of The Legend of the New White Snake has been heard by people with TV sets.

The wheels are rolling and the dust is flying.

Every young man longs for glory, looks forward to success and hopes to be admired. Running all the way is like rolling wheels, but where he can go is like flying dust …

? After the college entrance examination, Yu Ziyuan was admitted to Beijing University of Political Science and Law, and Li Guozhao was admitted to Yangzhou Local Normal University. Nie Xiaoshan has not been in the police station for a long time. In his words, he "abandoned politics and went into business". In that era of peanuts, Nie Xiaoshan showed his talent for doing business. From the beginning, he turned around and opened a brick factory and a tile factory in the back. Now it is one of the best building materials suppliers in Yangzhou. He and Xu Qin are not married, but they don't seem to be separated. Li Zekun did not go to Shenzhen, but followed his mother who jumped the queue in the countryside to Beijing. Yu Ziyuan, a student at Beijing University of Political Science and Law, met Li Zekun several times, worked as a salesman in a bank and combed his hair every day. After graduating from college, Yu Ziyuan never contacted him again. When I saw him again in Yangzhou, he was already a senior real estate developer introduced from Yangzhou. For 20 years, Li Zekun, who has sorghum stalks and sheep dung eggs, looks like a meatball. I thought the days were too moist and nutritious.

Yu Ziyuan got off the bus, and two female assistants in exquisite suits stood beside the rolling meatballs, which further set off the greasy meatballs.

"Team leader, our boss was beaten again today. How can I sell it like this? "

? "Manager li, boss li, chairman li, here I am. Things are already being dealt with. Let's get to know the situation here first. "

This matter is related to the illegal operation of sand and gravel recently investigated by Resources. In recent years, there have been incidents of beating owners in various newly-built residential areas, mainly focusing on the procurement of sand and gravel during secondary decoration. Public security and grass-roots police stations arrested several gangsters involved, but in the end they found that they had not been effectively solved, but they were getting worse. Finally, the city bureau decided to hand it over to the Economic Investigation Detachment. Yu Ziyuan knows that Li Zekun has all kinds of means and abilities, and the final solution is still in his hands, that is, to give him bitter fruit.

Walking into the sales department, I didn't expect Li Guozhao to be at the scene. It turned out that the master who was bullied by gangsters this time was a teacher in No.3 Middle School. The male surname is Zong and the female surname is Gu. After graduating from college, the young couple stayed in Yangzhou to work. After saving money for several years, they finally bought a house, and specially invited his wife's Gu Dage from their hometown to help decorate it. In the process of renovation, Gu Dage found that the sand sold in the community was not only packed in small bags, but also the price was obviously 20% higher than that outside. This morning, Brother Gu called a car from the outside and brought a load of sand back. I didn't expect to be stopped before I entered the community. It was indiscriminate. The young couple hurried back when they got the news. They have no friends in this city, so they took their brother and colleague Li Guozhao.

? "After the alarm, my eldest brother and four people who hit people have been taken away by the police station. At this rate, when can we live in this house? " Little gu sighed.

"Lang Lang Gan Kun, clear sky Wan Li, why are these people so arrogant? You are a policeman, and you must protect people's safety. You can't just earn black-hearted money like those capitalists. "

When Li Guozhao speaks, he always looks at Li Zekun with a smile.

I don't know when I started, but I'm a little afraid of Li Guozhao in the distance. Only two of them were admitted to the university in the college entrance examination. Although we were not in a school at that time, we always talked about everything as long as we were together. After graduation, Yu Ziyuan became a policeman and Li Guozhao became a teacher. At that time, Li Guozhao often cheered him up when he was wronged at work. As time goes by and his position changes, he needs Li Guozhao to cheer for him less and less. On the contrary, sometimes I am a little tired of Li Guozhao's bookishness. No, he is not tired. That may be the initial heart of their era, but he is a little afraid of losing his initial heart, Li Guozhao.

"This is the jurisdiction of the Jiang Yan Police Department. I called Lin Xinquan. " Yu Ziyuan was about to take out his phone and call the police chief of Jiang Yan when Lin Xinquan arrived.

"To it, you come and deal with it yourself. This is a trivial matter, so I can't help you. I believe that our grassroots police station still has this ability. "

Lin Xinquan didn't come alone. He was accompanied by Gu Dage. Although Lin Xinquan is half a level lower than Ziyuan, he has been a director for more than ten years and is an old comrade. In this system with the highest rank, seniority is another factor that cannot be ignored.

"Things have been solved. I'll bring Gu Dage here first, in case my family is worried. "

Lin Xinquan continued.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Zong hurried over to ask about Big Brother. Gu said, "Director Lin has helped mediate, and the other party has lost medical expenses, and said that the sand will give us a 20% discount in the future. I signed a mediation book. "

"What, you signed a conciliation statement?" Yu Ziyuan listened, looked at Lin Xinquan and said.

Lin Xinquan smiled. "Small things, general public security incidents, are not enough crimes, medical expenses, and lost time. We will deal with them. "

"What about those who hit people?"

"I'm still in the office formalities. I am not afraid to worry here, let him finish it first. "

Yu Ziyuan was so angry that he wanted to attack. He endured and said nothing. He walked not far away and dialed a phone.

Xiao Gu and Xiao Zong are still complaining about why Gu Dage signed the mediation book. Li Guozhao probably knows something and takes a natural attitude. "Well, I will live near here in the future. It doesn't matter if I look up and can't see it. "

? After seeing off Xiao Gu's family, Li Guozhao and Yu Ziyuan were ready to go out when Lin Xinquan, who was chatting with Li Zekun, suddenly rushed over.

? "Yu Ziyuan, you are great. I just put people here, and you took them away. You are hitting me in the face. "

? "Director Lin, a yard to yard. The fighting and security incidents handled by your office are illegal operations and are two different things. "

"I have been the director of Laozi for more than ten years, and I want you to teach me a lesson." Lin Xinquan made it clear that he would have a fight with Zi Yuan, and some became angry from embarrassment. See Zi Yuan no compromise.

? "Everyone is a bowl of rice, it seems that you are going to hit my pot. Then we will wait and see. "

? Leave a malicious words, Lin Xinquan walked away.

The third chapter starts from scratch

? Li Guozhao watched Lin Xinquan go far and patted Yu Ziyuan on the shoulder. Although he didn't speak, Yu Ziyuan knew that this was an approval and an encouragement.

Li Zekun patted his thigh and cried, "Look, we are so busy that we haven't had time to meet Nie Xiaoshan. Let's get together and go and see him together. "

? I went to see Nie Xiaoshan, but I came to the teahouse in Xu Qin. Although they failed to get married and start a family, they never seemed to be separated. Tea art lives in an old house, which is said to have been built by a juren who returned to his hometown after winning the Jinshi in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although the city has developed rapidly, it still leaves many ancient antiquities to modern people. This quadrangle with blue tiles and white walls is particularly simple and elegant in the downtown area, but it is unwilling to endure the coldness in the commercial tide. Xu Qin spent some time renting it and gave it a poetic name "Zen Tea House". There are three entrances to the courtyard, the first is a teahouse, and the last two are restaurants, with winding paths extending in all directions. Every time I come to Ziyuan, I feel that the door I take is different. In the lobby of the teahouse, the guzheng played the sound of "A Moonlit Night on a Spring River", accompanied by a tangy sandalwood, "burning my life's sorrow in exchange for your love", and the waitress dressed in silk Hanfu made people feel detached instantly.

Xu Qin has been waiting for them in the box. These years, these men are fat and oily. From a distance, they think they are self-disciplined. In fact, they already have obvious beer bellies. However, Xu Qin is still the same Xu Qin many years ago, just like this house. She is not surprised or happy, just simple and elegant. Time only gave her charm, but left no trace. I have to say that time is sometimes unfair.

There is a carved tea tray on the table of the Eight Immortals in the box, on which a smiling Lohan is carved, and a woman is sitting next to Lohan, which is rare in the past. Usually, there are no outsiders in the box.

After sitting down, I realized that this woman is Xu Qin's cousin Lin Qing, who works in the city procuratorate. As a person in the political and legal department, Yu Ziyuan has heard of such an ice beauty as the procuratorate, but he seldom sees it, but he doesn't want to see you today. Yu Ziyuan didn't show much enthusiasm. On the one hand, he is very independent, on the other hand, he is very introverted.

? Holding Li Zekun's business card, Xu Qin began to make tea. Yu Ziyuan secretly looked at Lin Qing. About 30 years old, his white face looks flawless, and his short hair is scattered at will, which brings a strong visual contrast impact to his neck. The light blue knit top shows a little collarbone at the open collar, and the lower part is a long skirt and four-quarter high red high heels. Looking at the tender calf at the ankle from a distance, I can't help but feel a little energetic.

As she grew older, Yu Ziyuan felt that her aesthetic appreciation of women was getting lower and lower. As a teenager, he looked at his face. When he was in his twenties, his hormones exploded. At that time, he only looked at his chest. In his thirties, he likes women's slim and light waists. But at this age, he began to particularly like women with graceful legs.

Yu Ziyuan's fugue was brought back by Xu Qin's invitation to tea. It takes time to make tea, which is roughly divided into several steps. First, moisten the tea set. Cover the bowl (pot) inside and outside with boiling water. After warming the bowl, you can continue to warm the fair cup and teacup, and then drain the teacup. The purpose of moistening tea set is to increase the temperature of tea set, so that the temperature of tea leaves is relatively stable after brewing, and the temperature will not drop too fast. Followed by tea. According to the number of people, preferences and the size of the bowl (pot), take a proper amount of tea from the teapot and put it in. You can also use Chaze to hold tea for guests to watch and taste. Then wash the tea. When water is poured into a covered bowl, tea seems to wake up at the moment when the water touches it. This is the first time to make tea. Generally, tea soup should be poured out quickly to prevent it from becoming astringent. Followed by brewing. According to different tea-making techniques, time is boring according to the different properties of tea. After soaking for enough time, open the lid of the bowl to divide the tea, gently stir the tea soup with the lid, and fondle the color of the tea soup and the wonderful posture of the tea after stretching. Tilt the lid of the bowl, leaving an error, water big enough and small enough to come out, and pour the tea soup into the fair cup. When serving tea to guests, pay attention to the order from left to right, and pour the cup to seven minutes full, which will burn the guests' hands and disrespect them. Finally, tea. Hold the cup in your right hand, hold the cup with your index finger and thumb, and drag the bottom of the cup with your middle finger. This gesture of raising a glass is called "Three Dragons Protecting the Ding". You can smell the tea before you taste it. Generally speaking, good tea can bring pleasant enjoyment. Therefore, southerners call it Kung Fu tea, which is called "getting drunk makes Kun big, and the sun and the moon grow in a pot". A good cup of tea is refreshing and memorable.

? Xu Qin's tea is the rock tea of Wuyishan, and even the tea set is a local famous "floor lamp". He calmed down at a distance, picked up the cup and took a sip. The fragrance rushed to his nose and endlessly returned to his liver.

Nie Xiaoshan came in to say hello to everyone. Nie Xiaoshan is still black, but it is already black and shiny. Round head, round figure, just like a tumbler toy.

? "Summer is cruel enough. He almost took my life. God bless me for taking him away, so that we can drink for a few more years. "

? "If you survive, you will be blessed. I think you have a fortune in your life. " Li Zekun took the words.

? "I can't compete with Dong Li anywhere. Industries are everywhere. I am only a small businessman at most. " When Nie Xiaoshan said this, he obviously changed color.

"I am a part-time job, and at most I am a housekeeper." Li Zekun sighed, "Hello, such a big industry now, at least for yourself".

? "Come naked, walk naked, I have nothing to be afraid of wearing sandals, I enjoy it and earn it." Nie Xiaoshan's words are full of malice.

"Well, you two should be steady in business, or you will be very busy when you are far away. Don't give him any trouble. " Li Guozhao made a serious joke and everyone laughed a few times. This is also the Jianghu of adults. Some things can be said, some things can't be said, and some things can only be said on specific occasions. Nie Xiaoshan doesn't want to talk more today, and it's not convenient for everyone to continue to explore. Following Li Guozhao's joke, he opened the topic.

In the process of chatting, Yu Ziyuan saw the way Xu Qin looked at Nie Xiaoshan, which meant that women looked up to men. He remembered a sentence, men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men. In any case, as long as you can succeed in today's world, there must be reasons for success, not to mention Nie Xiaoshan's success from scratch must have his own advantages. During the dinner, Yu Ziyuan realized the greatness of Nie Xiaoshan.
