Chapter 360: The Smiling Tiger in Drum Tower

From Hongdu to Pingxian, it is nearly 500 miles to the west.

Those heading west may be monks, monkeys, pigs and porters, or they may be young boys and beautiful women.

This young man is full of righteousness and the beauty doesn’t have headlights, which is different from the movie of the same name.

When leaving the Investigation Bureau's guesthouse, the director came to see us off in person and arranged a small passenger car specifically for leaders to inspect the countryside.

He was scolded badly today!

The director's original words were: "If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. You have comrades in the capital. Just ask someone about what the Dragon Group's Jiaozi means. His people are handling the case for you, and you dare to neglect it. Are you tired of living?"

This is absolutely true. The Dragon Group captured the man and took most of the credit, but the Hongdu Investigation Bureau still got some credit as well.

The director was so frightened that he waited for the director to scold him for a quarter of an hour before he carefully asked the reason.

Just because of a brazier, Ya Zi reported the case directly to the minister.

In the cold winter, the director almost caught a cold from the cold sweat he sweated from himself.

The Investigation Department is managed vertically, so there is no need to inform anyone when replacing him.

In this department, once you lose the trust of your superiors, your future is bleak.

Reorganizing the team is a subsequent matter, and he has to straighten out the spirits of several ancestors first.

Chang Wei smiled and said that he was fine. He had a pleasant chat with the director and was reluctant to leave when he waved goodbye.

"The thorn in the side of the Dragon Team, the young tiger of the Drum Tower, this is just a smiling tiger." Seeing the wheels going away, the director wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.

The Public Security Bureau chief who accompanied him was also secretly feeling lucky that no problems arose on his side.

The accompanying personnel from the Municipal Party Committee and the Special District Office personally felt the authority of the imperial envoy.

Even the leaders of local powerful departments are trembling with fear, let alone them.

(At this time, Hongdu City is under the management of Yichun Special District, and the office of the Special District is in Hongdu. It is a special district, not an administrative district. The administrative district is the name after the special district is changed to a region.)

(As for the administrative division changes before the prefecture-level city transformation, it would take up half a chapter to write about them. Please search on Baidu to avoid accusations of me being pedantic.)

(In fact, this is what a chronological article should be about.)

The dirt road was bumpy and Chang Wei swayed for a while before becoming drowsy. Fan Tuaner found a military coat and put it on him, then walked to the back and sat with Zheng's eldest sister, chatting about Zheng Li's childhood.

Zhang Long was in a good mood and no longer sleepy, so he pulled Zheng Li and the third son of the Zheng family aside to chat.

He was showing off his knowledge again - discussing whether what would be left after Nezha was cremated after his death would be ashes or lotus root powder.

Zheng Li and his brother had never heard of this before. They were stunned but still listened with great interest.

Fan Tuaner sat behind him, listening to his nonsense, and kicked off his chair, "Can't you say something serious?"

"Comrade Political Commissar, this is all serious knowledge."

"Nonsense, you've read so much that you've lost your mind."

Zhang Long didn't dare to argue with Fan Tuan'er. This woman would become cold when she was angry. He was a Shandong native, eating noodles - without any garlic left.

It was not until after dark that the vehicle arrived in Ping County.

The county leaders were all waiting on the roadside.

There is nothing new under the sun, not to mention that this is Gan Province, where officials frequently communicate with each other, and inquire about traffic news from each other. What happened during the farewell at noon had already been reported to Ping County.

In the restaurant of the guesthouse, while eating and chatting, Fan Tuaner mentioned that Zheng Li had been commended for his meritorious service.

"His deeds have been reported by the Hongdu City Public Security Bureau. Our team leader's opinion is that Zheng Li is progressive, proactive, brave and resourceful. We originally wanted to take him to Beijing, but the young man is homesick and reluctant to leave his hometown. We also respect his wishes and would like to recommend him to the County Public Security Bureau."

"No problem, no problem, we'll do it right away."

"Then I would like to thank the leaders of Ping County for their understanding and support. The main reason is that Zheng Li and our team leader are of similar age, and they can get along well. The team leader can only ask the local authorities to take care of him."

"It's not about taking care of others. It's about Director Chang discovering and recommending an outstanding young man to our county."

"Zheng Li has a sister. Leaders, please see if there are any temporary positions in the county bureau's logistics department. Please help arrange them. We will be very grateful."

"Hey, Director Zhu, isn't there an old comrade retiring in your logistics department? It's a good opportunity to let Zheng Li's sister take over the job. Children raised in such a family can be trusted."

"Yes, Secretary, there is indeed a position, but it is not a temporary job, it is a formal cadre establishment. However, Comrade Zheng does not have enough education, so he can do it as a worker for the time being, and then go to night school to learn literacy. After he gets the diploma, we will formally promote him to cadre."

Chang Wei chatted with Zheng Li, listened attentively to the conversation between Fan Tuaner and the others, and couldn't help but smile.

With just a few words, an ordinary person's life can be arranged perfectly.

Now that the big thing has been settled, the Zheng family can no longer contain their joy.

A light breeze blew up from the plain, carrying the news from the world up to the clouds and secretly telling the moon.

......

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The green train, belching thick smoke and roaring, rushed into the Beijing Railway Station at midnight.

The staff on duty stood at the exit, shaking the gas lamp in their hands in circles to guide the passengers. The platform was brightly lit, and the people who picked up the passengers cried with joy when they saw their missed relatives and friends.

There were a lot of people getting off the car. Chang Wei and his friends waited for a while and only got off the car when the crowd began to thin out.

It has been ten days since I left Beijing. If I delay any further, it will be New Year's Day.

It’s not that Fan Tuaner was reluctant to leave. After confirming that her brother was still alive and everything was arranged by Chang Wei, her heart knot was untied, and she wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to tell her parents the good news.

Traffic conditions are so bad these days that the return train was delayed by several hours.

Yes, a few hours late is normal.

In the square in front of the station, Du Ye, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, stood in front of the jeep and stamped his feet. When he saw Chang Wei and the others coming out, he hurriedly trotted over to greet them.

"It's late. You must have waited for a long time." Chang Wei handed over the suitcase and saw that his head was cold. He frowned and asked, "Why don't you wear a hat?"

"Ah...I forgot." Du Ye replied in a low voice and quickly asked everyone to get in the car.

Chang Wei didn't say anything more. At this moment, he was eager to go home and just wanted to go home early.

In the small courtyard behind the house, the little girl was tossing and turning on her bed, refusing to sleep.

"Mom, when will my uncle come back?"

"I'll be back tomorrow. Go to bed quickly. It's already ten o'clock." Chang Da tucked the quilt tightly and sat back on the chaise longue to continue drawing.

The little girl was wrapped in the quilt and couldn't move. She thrashed around on the bed and mumbled, "Mom, I'm thirsty. I want to drink some water."

Chang Da glared at her angrily and scolded her, "Go to sleep quickly. You've been lying there for an hour, drank water three times, and went to the toilet twice. If you yell again, I'll come over and beat you up."

The little girl shrank her neck in grievance and dared not say a word. She whined in the quilt for a long time and whispered, "Mom, when you come over to beat me later, can you pour me a glass of water?"

Chang Da was so angry that she almost dropped the drawing in her hand.

During these ten days, there were all kinds of sleeping patterns every night.

I don’t know how her uncle could bear it.
