The atmosphere in the box was a little stiff for a moment. Everyone was silent for a long time and no one said anything.
After a while, Jiang Zheng could no longer sit still. With a slightly agitated tone, he spoke first: "Director Su, I don't know how you handled it. But the garrison has never had the practice of sending people abroad and letting the local authorities to judge! What's more, there is no evidence at all in this matter, and we haven't received any yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Tianyu's face had already become serious.
Tan Mingchao observed his expression and immediately waved his hand to interrupt Jiang Zheng: "Don't say anything for now, go out for a while, I'll talk to Director Su."
Jiang Zheng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw Tan Mingchao's eyes, he had to swallow the rest of his words, got up and left the box, and closed the door.
After he left, Tan Mingchao turned his head and looked at Su Tianyu, and asked, "Is there no room for easing this matter?"
Su Tianyu sighed, and said to Tan Mingchao very sincerely: "Brother Tan, you should know our attitude towards the garrison! In the past year, we have been trying to express goodwill to you. Otherwise, I will never let such harmful goods appear in Longcheng. We don't touch them ourselves, let alone let you touch them!! In order to bring us closer, I have broken the principles! Similarly, I also know that it is difficult for you. But are we relaxed? Do I want to carry out a major purge in the police station? Do I want to remove the director? Things have come to this point, and I have no choice! If we don't do this, others will push us down! ! We are playing a game with a large district. If we lose, our ancestral graves will be dug up!"
After saying this, Tan Mingchao didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette and sat there smoking.
After a long silence, Tan Mingchao turned his head and looked at Su Tianyu: "How many people do you need?"
Su Tianyu thought for a moment and said, "Among the officers involved, there must be at least one regimental-level cadre, so that it can be convincing. As for the other personnel, you can arrange them. It doesn't need to be too many, six or seven people will be enough."
Tan Mingchao nodded slightly and continued smoking.
Su Tianyu looked at him, sighed and replied: "The current situation is difficult, we can't make mistakes. If you take the money, you have to bear the responsibility."
Tan Mingchao put out his cigarette and said slowly, "I understand, but don't be so anxious. Give me some time. I'll take care of it."
After saying that, Tan Mingchao stood up and walked out: "I'll go first, we'll contact you if there's anything."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Su Tianyu replied.
In fact, Tan Mingchao knew in his heart that Su Tianyu was right. But even if he was right, this matter was not that easy to handle.
After seeing off Tan Mingchao, An Qiqi looked at the worried Su Tianyu and comforted him softly, "Don't be too anxious. I can feel that Tan Mingchao's views are probably similar to yours."
"I hope so."
Su Tianyu hummed, but his brows did not relax.
…
Downstairs, several vehicles of the garrison drove away from the hotel.
On the way back, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but complain to Tan Mingchao: "Boss, I think Su Tianyu's conditions are too much. He must be taking advantage of the situation!"
Tan Mingchao turned around, glanced at Jiang Zheng, and asked with a gloomy face: "Did they take advantage of the situation to kill their own director first? Why do they have to put pressure on the police department to take advantage of the situation? Wouldn't it be better to directly issue a notice and point the finger at the garrison?"
Feeling Tan Mingchao's unhappiness, Jiang Zheng fell silent and dared not say another word.
Tan Mingchao didn't say anything else, but he was unhappy at this moment. The reason was very simple. In his opinion, so many people were doing this, why did your Jiang family get into trouble? Or was there something wrong with your management!
Tan Mingchao adjusted his mood and said after a long silence: "Let's go to your house. I want to talk to Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Zheng was slightly stunned, then nodded. The convoy immediately turned and drove towards the Jiang family.
…
Twelve o'clock noon, Jiang family villa.
As the commander of the garrison, Jiang Yuanzhen's home is not very luxurious, but rather looks rather ordinary.
At this time, Jiang Yuanzhen was sitting at the table in the restaurant, wolfing down the food on the table. There was only a large bowl of rice and two home-cooked dishes on the table.
In addition, Jiang Yuanzhen also placed a large green onion on his hand, and he would take a bite of it after eating two bites of rice, chewing it very happily.
Jiang Zheng was sent away, and only Tan Mingchao sat opposite Jiang Yuanzhen, watching him eat.
After waiting for a while, Tan Mingchao spoke first, "Uncle Jiang, this matter has become quite serious right now. We can't just not say anything. It's inappropriate to put pressure only on the administration."
Jiang Yuanzhen shoveled rice into his mouth and said "hmm" without even raising his head.
Tan Mingchao observed Jiang Yuanzhen and found that his expression did not change. He continued, "Lu Guangwei... must also be handed over."
"Um!"
Jiang Yuanzhen was chewing on a scallion and paused for a moment when he heard this, but still responded.
Unable to guess what Lao Jiang was thinking, Tan Mingchao was silent for a while before saying, "In addition, we have to hand over a regimental officer in charge of this line, as well as six related personnel, to be investigated and tried together with the officials from the police department, so as to give an explanation to the public."
Jiang Yuanzhen still didn't say anything, but quickly shoveled the last few mouthfuls of rice in the bowl into his mouth.
After finishing eating, he took a long breath and picked up the tissue next to him to wipe his mouth.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Jiang Yuanzhen grabbed the water cup beside him, drank all the water in it in big gulps, burped loudly, and a smell of onion immediately filled the air.
Tan Mingchao looked at him patiently, waiting for a response.
Jiang Yuanzhen patted his bulging belly, turned his head, looked at Tan Mingchao and said, "Nephew, I just want to tell you one thing."
At this point, Jiang Yuanzhen stretched out his hand and pointed outside the door: "Even if the more than ten tons of goods in Longcheng are gone, the garrison is still a garrison. However, if the soldiers of the garrison are gone, is it still a garrison?"
Hearing this, Tan Mingchao frowned.
Jiang Yuanzhen stood up and slowly walked to Tan Mingchao's side. "Chi Army, Third Division, Black Water Corps. The average salary of each soldier is 30% higher than our garrison. As for us, the upper level said a word and reduced our salary by another 30%. What a huge gap."
As he spoke, Jiang Yuanzhen reached out his hand and gently patted Tan Mingchao on the shoulder: "The treatment is poor, but I didn't run away. Instead, I made money for you and helped relieve the pressure on the upper level. If something goes wrong, do we have to sell out our brothers?"
Having said this, Jiang Yuanzhen stepped out and said, "Nephew, this matter is not negotiable."
