Uncle's Crisis

Chapter 338 Encountering a Crazy Monk

A riot finally subsided.

After the police officers withdrew, Sun Chaosheng called Gao Zhiyuan to his office, and the two sat on the sofa, each with their own concerns, and sighed.

"Old Gao, do you believe Liu Yufeng's suicide note?" Sun Chaosheng asked.

Gao Zhiyuan said: "I can't help but believe that the police don't create things out of nothing. Besides, it sounds reasonable."

"That's right, if the handwriting wasn't Liu Yufeng's, his wife would be able to tell it at a glance. After reading it, she would faint directly, which is enough to explain the problem."

"But..." Gao Zhiyuan stood up, walked to the desk, popped one out of the cigarette case and handed it to Sun Chaosheng, and lit one himself.

Sun Chaosheng took a breath and asked him, "Are you doubtful?"

"Yes, there is a little bit." Gao Zhiyuan puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Liu Yufeng doesn't have that much courage. After a few years, more than 400 million yuan, where did he spend it?"

Sun Chaosheng said: "Could it be put in your own home?"

Gao Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible. His daily life is frugal enough. Besides, I don't think he has the guts at all."

Sun Chaosheng sighed, and said: "Yes, how can he be so capable as a middle-level cadre? He can also openly build plank roads and cover up Chen Cang secretly."

Gao Zhiyuan said: "I finally understand why Lingfang Farm can't find the poverty alleviation funds entered into the account. It turns out that it was intercepted halfway."

Sun Chaosheng asked: "How did they operate?"

Gao Zhiyuan was stunned, smiled wryly, and reminded: "President Sun, please pay attention to your words, it's him, not them."

"Yes... yes, how did he do it?"

"It's actually not difficult. The company has prepared a plan, signed by him, and then reported to the top, and provided the corresponding appropriation account number. Isn't that all it takes?"

"But there will be supervision and inspection later."

"Those are easy to handle, just act in a play."

"what do you mean?"

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You should understand what I mean."

"It seems that this seemingly huge enterprise is really unsound in its system and full of loopholes, which is simply unimaginable."

Gao Zhiyuan said: "Actually, this is normal and not surprising."

Sun Chaosheng was taken aback, and asked him, "How do you say that?"

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Actually, you know better than me."

Sun Chaosheng raised his finger and pointed at Gao Zhiyuan and said, "Old Gao, I suddenly found that you are very powerful. You look calm on the surface, but there are dark currents and treacherous things on the inside. I admire, admire!"

Gao Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Mr. Sun, you think highly of me. In fact, I'm just an ordinary person, and I'm even more useless than ordinary people."

"Even if you are a little bit useless, you are pretending." Sun Chaosheng stood up, walked a few steps, turned back, and asked Gao Zhiyuan, "You said the next step, where should we go?"

Gao Zhiyuan said: "I don't know, my mind is blank."

"What if I want to fight them?"

"I don't think the time is right. Once you make a move, not only will you not be able to bring them down, but you will hurt yourself."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, they have paved the way for every step forward, and the scam they designed is almost perfect. Who would have thought that they would use Feng Dazhi's disappearance to make a fuss."

"That's right." Sun Chaosheng slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot about it. Feng Dazhi turned out to be the murderer of Liu Yufeng?"

Gao Zhiyuan was stunned for a while, then let out a long sigh, and said: "The impermanence of human beings is always permanent, and the existence of human beings is often impermanent. It's sad and deplorable!"

"What do you mean?" Sun Chaosheng asked.

"It's not interesting, I don't really understand."

"It sounds a bit Zen-like." Sun Chaosheng said with a smirk, "I often have a thought in my mind, one day, I will put aside everything in the world and become a monk in an old temple deep in the mountains. "

Gao Zhiyuan said, "Are you willing?"

Sun Chaosheng asked back: "Why can't you bear it?"

"After all, there are too many temptations in the world, and there are too many so-called good things. Actually, I feel that those people who are frantic and having fun may be smart people. They are broken, they have seen through it, and they have come to this world to go through it, crazy One time is fine, and death is worth it!"

"Is it worth it like Liu Yufeng? It's too worthless for them. I'm bored and hurt my family. What are they?"

"Hey, let's not talk about this, go back to the office and have a look, and appease the comrades." Gao Zhiyuan said, and stood up.

"Go, tell me, don't let them talk nonsense, just pretend they don't know anything, I'll sleep for a while." Sun Chaosheng said and lay down.

Gao Zhiyuan responded, and just as he walked to the door, he heard Sun Chaosheng say from behind: "Don't go far away, maybe the relevant departments and leaders will come over to give lectures. We must be fully mentally prepared."

Gao Zhiyuan agreed and walked out the door.

After returning to the office, seeing only Dong Xiaowan and Lao Li were there, he unexpectedly asked inexplicably, "Why are there only the two of you?"

Then he changed his words and said, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm out of my mind."

Dong Xiaowan suddenly lay down on the desk and began to cry.

"Xiao Dong, why are you crying? Don't...don't, it's already like this..." Gao Zhiyuan himself was in tears before he could say anything later, he hurriedly opened the door and went into the back room, weeping silently for a while.

It was a peaceful morning. After get off work, Sun Chaosheng invited the four of them to the cafeteria, and asked the master to cook some dishes for them to eat together.

No one spoke at the dinner table, until it was almost finished, Sun Chaosheng said to Lao Li: "After work, you call the heads of each unit and ask them to hold an end-of-shift meeting and say hello to all the employees. Tell them not to go out and talk nonsense, just pretend it never happened."

Gao Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Is this possible? A big living person is gone, and he died so tragically. Can you keep a low profile?"

Sun Chaosheng said: "Originally I wanted to take everyone to attend the farewell ceremony for Liu Yufeng's body, but the relevant leaders of the provincial company disagreed."

Dong Xiaowan asked, "Why?"

Sun Chaosheng said: "The reason is very simple. He is a criminal, a heinous criminal, and there is nothing to give away."

Gao Zhiyuan sighed and asked, "Is that the case?"

Sun Chaosheng nodded and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. I received a faxed document from the provincial company in the morning and issued an order regarding Liu Yufeng's suicide by jumping off the building. The task force, headed by Comrade Pang Yaozong, has a thorough understanding of the facts of his crime, and after the truth is revealed, organizes all the staff of the agency to conduct introspection and discussions, take this as a lesson, draw inferences from one instance, and resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening."

Gao Zhiyuan was the first to put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up, stopped talking, and walked towards the outside of the cafeteria.

He originally wanted to go back to the office and take a nap for a while, but when he walked through the compound, he looked up at the window of Liu Yufeng's office, and his mood suddenly became bad, and he didn't even feel sleepy at all.

He didn't want to talk about Liu Yufeng with Sun Chaosheng or his colleagues any more, so he walked straight out of the gate.

When he was walking along the road, he suddenly felt a coolness on his face, he raised his head quickly, and was stunned for a while——

He actually saw an old monk, looked carefully, isn't that the crazy monk from Jinyu Mountain?
The crazy monk carried a peach tree more than one meter high on his shoulders. There were still a few green hairy fruits hanging on the peach tree, and the leaves were covered with crystal dewdrops.

The leaves on the branches of the peach tree swayed, splashing dewdrops, and some of them just hit Gao Zhiyuan's face.

Gao Zhiyuan's heart trembled, as if waking up from a big dream, he followed closely and shouted loudly: "Master...Master..."

The old monk didn't seem to hear it, and without turning his head, he quickened his pace and walked forward, muttering as he walked, as if he was chanting sutras.

At this time, there were a lot of pedestrians on the road, and some people passed by the old monk strangely, but no one spoke to him, or even looked at him, as if there was no such crazy monk at all, how could this be? What's going on?
Not to mention the sloppy clothes and weird behavior of this crazy monk, the wine gourd in his hand and the peach tree on his shoulders alone are enough to make his jaw drop, but so many people turn a blind eye to it. Can't you cast a blind eye on yourself?

Just thinking about it, the crazy monk seemed to have tripped over something and staggered. Thanks to him, he put the peach tree on the ground in time and helped it up, so he didn't fall down.

"Master...Master, are you the host master from Jinyu Mountain?" Gao Zhiyuan walked over and asked him face to face.

It seemed that the crazy monk drank a lot of wine, his face was flushed, his nose hung upside down, and the corners of his eyes were covered with gum. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Gao Zhiyuan, and asked him, "Why are you chasing me?"

Gao Zhiyuan met him before and saw his eccentricity, but now he was no longer surprised, and said with a smile: "Master, I have visited you in the temple a few times, don't you know me?"

The crazy monk picked up the gourd and took a sip of the wine, then tapped his mouth and said, "I don't recognize it, and I don't recognize it, what's so strange?"

Gao Zhiyuan didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled stiffly and asked him where he was going.

The crazy monk said some words that seemed to be profound but cloudy.

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Master, you drank a lot and the weather is hot, why don't you come to our place for a drink of tea, and I'll drive you back to the temple in the afternoon, okay?"

The crazy monk shook his head, and said crazy words again: "The monk is originally a piece of cloud, which swings around depending on the wind. When you encounter dry soil and rain, and see dry seedlings covering the shade, if you want to find someone, you might as well go east." Eighty miles away, there are two horses in the crowd of madmen."

After Gao Zhiyuan heard this, his heart trembled, as if he had been poked suddenly by a rough branch, and he felt a dull pain.

After pondering for a while, he looked up at the mad monk and said, "Master, you are dull, I don't understand what you mean, please explain clearly!"

The crazy monk pretended not to hear, looked up at the sky, and exclaimed: "No, there is an evil cloud passing by, I'm going to chase it!"

After speaking, he ran away.

Gao Zhiyuan chased a few steps forward, and shouted while chasing: "Master...Master, wait a moment, your peach tree...peach tree..."

Before he finished speaking, the mad monk had long since disappeared.

Next, something even weirder happened.

The peach tree stood upright in the grass by the roadside, and took root and sprouted in a blink of an eye, without moving a bit, as if it had grown here for many years.

strange!
Is this a dream?
