Qiao Liang stood silently for a while, and Ding Xiaoyun also vaguely understood what Qiao Liang was suspicious, with a shocked look on his face: "County Magistrate Qiao, you...you don't suspect that this car accident was man-made, right?"

"I just feel a little weird." Qiao Liang shook his head, "Maybe I'm thinking too much."

"County Magistrate Qiao, I think you may be too nervous." Ding Xiaoyun said.

"Maybe." Qiao Liang nodded, he planned to turn back to meet the perpetrator.

"Let's go." Qiao Liang turned around and walked back to the car.

Back at the county courtyard, Qiao Liang had just sat down in the office. After a while, Ding Yongxing, director of the Education Bureau, came over. Qiao Liang saw the other party, nodded, waved his hand to signal the other party to sit down, and asked, "Director Ding, what's the matter?"

"County Magistrate Qiao, I heard you encountered some accident at noon, is it okay?" Ding Yongxing asked with concern.

"It's okay." Qiao Liang waved his hand.

Ding Yongxing nodded, and did not talk about this matter. He sent a document to Qiao Liang and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, take a look. This is the expansion project of our county No. 1 Middle School."

"Oh?" Qiao Liang took it and looked at it.

This is a project construction plan for the No. 1 Middle School of County. No. 1 Middle School will expand a library and gymnasium on the existing basis, and build a new teaching building and dormitory building at the same time. The total investment is more than 50 million yuan. After reading it, Qiao Liang nodded slightly and said, "Is this expansion project possible? It is appropriate to spend more money to support education. Is there any problem?"

"County Magistrate Qiao, that's right. This project was established last year. With the efforts of County Mayor Zheng, this project was included in the city's key project, so it won 20 million yuan in supporting funds from the city's finance." Ding Yongxing said.

"This is a good thing. It can get 20 million yuan in financial support from the city, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure in our county." Qiao Liang said.

"County Magistrate Qiao, that's right. The key is that the 20 million has not been allocated yet. Isn't it? Originally, County Magistrate Zheng said that he would go to the city to run again after the New Year, but now County Magistrate Zheng is no longer in charge of the education sector, so I can only report to you." Ding Yongxing explained.

When Qiao Liang heard this, he immediately understood that he wanted to ask him to go to the city to get money for activities. It turned out that this was Zheng Dehai's business. Now that he was in charge of the education sector, the matter fell on him.

"Director Ding, do you have to go to the city first?" Qiao Liang asked.

"County Magistrate Qiao, don't mention it. I have been to the city twice these days after the New Year. Unfortunately, we are rude. When we go there, we want to ask the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau to come out for a meal. Every time we go there, it's a waste of time." Ding Yongxing said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go run with you in the future." Qiao Liang nodded. He couldn't refuse this matter, after all, this was also the responsibility of his leader in charge.

"County Magistrate Qiao, there is one more thing." Ding Yongxing scratched his head and said again.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Liang looked at the other party.

"It is because the teachers' salary and performance bonuses have not been paid yet before the New Year. I hope that County Mayor Qiao will urge our county finance bureau, otherwise the teachers below will have a big reaction." Ding Yongxing said.

"The teacher's salary has not been paid yet?" Qiao Liang frowned, "Are you referring to last year's?"

"Yes, it is the performance bonus in October last year and the second half of the year." Ding Yongxing said.

When Qiao Liang heard this, he suddenly became very surprised. It was February of the new year, and the teacher had not received his salary in October last year?

"Director Ding, tell me what's going on. Why haven't the teachers received their salary from October last year? Isn't this salary paid monthly?" Qiao Liang wondered.

"Missar Qiao, you have not been working in Liangbei County for a long time, and you were not in charge of education before, so you may not be very clear about this matter. In our education system, we often cannot pay full salary to teachers. Because the county finance is relatively tight, the salary for teachers is often delayed by three or four months. For example, last month, you paid the teachers in September, and it was time to pay the teachers in October in February. In addition, this month is the New Year, so the performance bonus for the second half of last year must be paid together." Ding Yongxing explained.

"Has it always been like this before?" Qiao Liang frowned.

"Yes, it has always been like this before. In fact, I used to pay more owed. In the past, I usually owed more than half a year. Later, after County Mayor Shang came, he often asked for money from the city, so the county finance would be more abundant than before, and the wages owed to teachers were not that much." Ding Yongxing said.

When Qiao Liang heard this, he thought that he was still not doing anything. With the other party’s relationship in the city, it is indeed easier to ask for money from the city, which can be considered as doing some practical things for the county.

"Director Ding, let's do it. I'll go back and ask the Finance Bureau to see when the teachers' salaries will be paid." Qiao Liang said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble County Magistrate Qiao."

Ding Yongxing left easily, but Qiao Liang rubbed his temples with a headache. This deputy county magistrate in charge was really hard to be accustomed to be.

Qiao Liang was sighing, and his phone rang. When he saw the call number, Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and directly pressed it off.

Before he put down his cell phone, he rang again. Qiao Liang glanced at him, his eyebrows frowned, and he was a little annoyed. Liu Ying was called. Qiao Liang had a very bad impression of this woman now and didn't want to answer the other party's call at all. Without hesitation, Qiao Liang hung up the other party's phone again.

However, Qiao Liang's approach was obviously useless. The other party quickly called again. Qiao Liang was immediately unhappy and angrily picked it up and said, "Mr. Liu, are you done?"

"County Magistrate Qiao, you finally answered the phone." On the other end of the phone, Liu Ying seemed not angry at Qiao Liang at all, and said calmly, "County Magistrate Qiao, I have to clarify to you that the arrest of you in our hotel has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Qiao Liang sneered.

"I know you won't believe me, and I can't explain it clearly on the phone, so I'm here in Liangbei, let's have a face-to-face conversation." Liu Ying said.

"Are you coming to Liangbei?" Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment.

"That's right." Liu Ying nodded, "I'm in Room 1002, Liangping Hotel. County Magistrate Qiao can come here now if he wants."

Qiao Liang became silent when he heard this. Liu Ying actually came to Liangbei in person to explain to him in person. Could it be that what happened that night really had nothing to do with Liu Ying?

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Liang said, "Okay, I'll go there now."

When I drove to Liangping Hotel, Qiao Liang arrived at the room Liu Ying mentioned. The door was open and Liu Ying was sitting alone at the table drinking tea.

Seeing Qiao Liang coming, Liu Ying stood up and said, "Please come in, County Magistrate Qiao."

"Mr. Liu came to Liangbei specially, why do I feel a little flattered?" Qiao Liang said lukewarmly.

"There is no need for County Magistrate Qiao to be so sarcastic. I know County Magistrate Qiao is angry and treats me as the person who framed you, but I still said the same thing, and the matter has nothing to do with me." Liu Ying said lightly, "Since County Magistrate Qiao is here, I must be willing to listen to my explanation. Why not sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down?"

Liu Ying poured tea for Qiao Liang and said, "This is the tea I brought myself, County Magistrate Qiao can try it."

Qiao Liang glanced at him, but didn't move at all.

Seeing this, Liu Ying smiled slightly: "Are you afraid that I will put medicine here again?"

"Speak quickly if you have anything you want to say." Qiao Liang said coldly.

"County Magistrate Qiao, think about it carefully. If I wanted to harm you that night, would I be in my own hotel? And do you think I would create a situation with so many flaws? Besides, if I really wanted to harm you, I must be well prepared. What do you think?" Liu Ying said calmly.

When Qiao Liang heard Liu Ying's words, he moved his heart. After thinking carefully, Liu Ying's words made sense, and if it was really done by the other party, it seemed that the other party would not need to explain to him.

My thoughts were a little shaken, and Qiao Liang turned to stare at Liu Ying: "Who Mr. Liu thinks that hurt me?"

"I don't know this." Liu Ying shook her head slightly, "I think County Magistrate Qiao must have an answer in his heart, why bother to ask me?"

When Qiao Liang heard this, he stared at Liu Ying for a while. Liu Ying was not showing weakness now, and looked at Qiao Liang calmly.

Seeing Liu Ying's gaze, Qiao Liang felt thoughtful.

The two were speechless, Qiao Liang was silent for a moment and asked, "Mr. Liu came to Liangbei to explain this matter to me?"

"That's not the case." Liu Ying shook her head and said, "It's not only to explain it to you, but there's something else."

Hearing this, Qiao Liang stood up: "Since that's the case, Mr. Liu has explained it, so I'll say goodbye first."

"No." Liu Ying nodded.

Watching Qiao Liang leave, Liu Ying let out a light sigh. She said everything she should say. With Qiao Liang's wisdom, Liu Ying believes that Qiao Liang should be able to make the most basic judgment.

The reason why Liu Ying insists on explaining to Qiao Liang in person is her personality. Liu Ying doesn't like being misunderstood for no reason, and she is even more unwilling to take the blame for others, so she must explain to Qiao Liang in person.

After sighing, Liu Ying did not think about Qiao Liang anymore, but took out her cell phone and looked for Shangke's phone. Another thing she did when she came to Liangbei was to talk to Shangke again.

On the other side, after Qiao Liang came out of the hotel, he thought about Liu Ying's reaction just now and every subtle expression. Qiao Liang also felt a little clear in his heart. Things might really have nothing to do with Liu Ying, but can still do it alone.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Liang shook his head and did not think about this for the time being.

However, Qiao Liang did not go back now, but took out his cell phone and called Feng Zhanming.

The phone was quickly answered, and Feng Zhanming asked: "County Magistrate Qiao, what's the matter?"

"County Magistrate Feng, I want to meet the perpetrator of the accident at noon. I wonder if I can ask the traffic police team to give me the other party's phone number." Qiao Liang said.

"Okay, a small matter, I will arrange it immediately and let the traffic police team contact you." Feng Zhanming said.

"Okay, thank you County Magistrate Feng." Qiao Liang said.

"Miss Qiao is polite to me."
