official career

"I don't know. I was sleeping in the dormitory that night. While I was sleeping, someone kicked open the dormitory door, rushed in, pulled me out of bed, and beat me. I didn't turn on the light. I couldn't see clearly who was beating me, and he was asleep. He was dragged down and beaten, and his mind was not clear. He didn't know who it was, but he only knew that there were five people." Lu Zian answered.

"Continue." Qin Feng took the lead and lit a cigarette.

"The call lasted about five minutes, and then someone shouted that it was time, and they all left. I crawled to turn on the light, found my mobile phone, and called 120 and 110."

"Who came first, 120 or 110?"

"Our Qingping Police Station arrived first. The deputy director came, and I knew him. He asked me some questions and surveyed the scene. Then 120 came and I was taken to the hospital."

Qin Feng blew out a puff of smoke and then asked: "Who do you think hit you?"

"This...is it okay to talk nonsense? I have no evidence." Lu Zian asked hesitantly.

"I'm not a policeman." Qin Feng understood what Lu Zian meant.

"Liu Jianhong!" Lu Zian gritted his teeth and said three words.

After Lu Zian said the name Liu Jianhong, Zhang Yugang's expression changed obviously, and Qin Feng saw all this.

"Who is Liu Jianhong?" Qin Feng asked.

"Liu Jianhong is the contractor of the Qingshui River Bridge. He is the general manager of Jianhong Company. Although the people under him are actually responsible for the project, he is the boss." Lu Zian gave a general introduction.

"Why do you suspect that he sent someone to beat you?"

"During the construction process of the bridge, Jianhong Company had some behaviors of shoddy quality, cutting corners and even modifying the design without authorization. A few days ago, I discovered that the steel bars they shipped to use to tie up the bridge piers were all scrap steel bars. Most of it is rusty.”

"You personally arranged for me to be the general person in charge of the bridge construction. I did not agree to use these steel bars and refused to sign, which led to the shutdown of the project."

"Because of this matter, the person in charge of the Qingshui River Bridge Construction Project Department of Jianhong Company came to me many times and gave me money and gifts, but I didn't ask for them. Later, our mayor and secretary also talked to me, although they didn't say it explicitly. But the implication is that I should turn a blind eye and let this matter go. It is said that this bridge is not heavy enough for vehicles and is only used by ordinary people to pass by. It is not a big problem to use rusty scrap steel bars. Once the concrete is poured, no one can see it.”

"But I don't agree. This is about project safety and the travel arrangements of tens of thousands of people on the right bank of the Qingshui River. If something goes wrong, it will be a matter of life and death."

"After that, Liu Jianhong came to me personally and gave me 30,000 yuan. I didn't ask for the money and I didn't agree. Liu Jianhong finally threatened me that if I continued to be dishonest, he would throw me into the Qingshui River to feed the fish. "

"Of course I wasn't afraid of his threats, and I didn't take his threats seriously. As a result, something like this suddenly happened last night. Apart from Liu Jianhong, I can't think of anyone else who would treat me like this. I usually I don’t have too many grievances with others.”

"I have been thinking about why they sent me to the hospital today. According to the doctor, I will stay in the hospital for at least a month. I am on the construction site well because you appointed me, and they can't spare me. After I had done the construction, now that I am in the hospital, the town will definitely arrange for another person to be responsible for the bridge construction, and this person will definitely agree to sign and use the scrap steel bars. After I stayed in the hospital for a month and returned, the scrap steel bars had already been tied up. The concrete has also been watered, so no one will notice the problem by then."

"So County Magistrate, please tell the hospital and they will discharge me in two days. I know how my body is doing. There is no big problem. I have to go back to the construction site immediately. They must not let them take tens of thousands of dollars from the right bank of Qingshui River." People's lives are a joke." After Lu Zian explained, he immediately begged Qin Feng to let him out of the hospital.

"The lives of ordinary people are important, but your life is not? Are you not planning to take your life now that you are discharged from the hospital?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"County Magistrate, I'm fine. Look, I'm only slightly injured."

"You lie down for me and recuperate peacefully in the hospital. You can't leave the hospital until the hospital allows you to be discharged. I will arrange the engineering matters myself. As for you being beaten, I will definitely make arrangements for you." You give me an explanation." Qin Feng stood up after speaking.

"Take good care of your injuries and strive for a speedy recovery. I still have important work waiting for you to do." Qin Feng explained to Lu Zian and left the hospital.

After getting in the car, Qin Feng opened the window, lit a cigarette and asked Zhang Yugang sitting next to him: "Director Zhang, do you know Liu Jianhong?"

"I...this...can't say that I don't know him. I have indeed met him several times. I have had dinner with him several times with some county leaders before." Zhang Yugang said hesitantly.

"You don't have any interests entangled with him, right?" Qin Feng asked calmly.

"No, no, absolutely not, County Magistrate, I have been working in the government office and have nothing to do with Liu Jianhong's business. It is impossible for me to have any collusion of interests with him." Zhang Yugang was startled and quickly clarified.
