Chapter 62

In the early morning, the glare of the sun woke up the hangover Churbanov, and he got up from the bed enduring a headache. The unpleasant smell of wine all over his body made Churbanov very uncomfortable. He took off all his clothes and walked into the bathroom. The warm water made him feel a lot better.

Refreshed after his bath, Churbanov poured himself a glass of methadone and drank it down. Since hearing Seryozha's suggestion that day, Churbanov has switched to taking this drug to reduce his dependence on the drug. So far, it seems that the effect is not bad, at least the uncomfortable situation like that day has not happened again.

Churbanov returned to his bedroom and dragged out a large leather bag from under the bed. Unzipping the zipper and seeing the rubles full inside, Churbanov couldn't help but smile. This bag was left by Umarov, the director of the Central Office of the Uzbek Party last night. Churbanov made a rough calculation, and it was about a hundred thousand rubles. Churbanov picked up the bag and shook all the money on the bed, then picked out a few stacks and put them aside, and put the rest back into the leather bag. Churbanov's idea was very simple. He wanted to thank Sergey Sha Leosha well. After receiving such a large sum of money, he naturally had to give Serge Lesha part of his thanks.

Churbanov put the money in a paper bag, got dressed, went out of the room, came to Seryozha's door, and knocked on the door. After a short wait, Sergey opened the door and let Churbanov in. Sergey got up early, and he was exercising in the room. He saw Churbanov holding a paper bag He said jokingly, "Don't tell me you're here to bribe me too!"

"No! You come with me, I can't let you empty-handed!" Churbanov said.

Seryozha asked Churbanov to sit down first, and then he returned to the room. After a while, Seryozha came out with several bundles of money and placed them on the table in front of Churbanov. Then he said: "Thanks to you, I received a lot of money last night, a total of 30,000 yuan!"

Looking at the money on the table, Churbanov said with emotion: "The Uzbeks are really generous!"

Seryozha sat on the sofa and said to Churbanov: "Don't you think they are too blatant! And how much did they give you? One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Why do I think they are fooling you?"

"But it's always difficult to refuse when someone delivers it to your door..." Churbanov said.

"But have you ever thought that they only spent such a small amount of money to let you keep them, and the risk is all on your shoulders! Do you plan to take this money and go directly to Moscow to tell the Party Central Committee Are they all good cadres of the people?" Sergei reminded kindly.

"Then what are you going to do?" Churbanov asked.

"The higher-ups must have known something before they sent you here. What you have to do is to hand over the situation here to the higher-ups!" Sergey Sha reminded kindly.

"Before I came, Minister Shlokov reminded me that I could just deal with as many as I wanted! Shouldn't I do as he said?" Churbanov asked rhetorically.

"How many are you going to deal with? Then how do you pick out these people? Are you going to let them go when you sent money last night?" Sergey Sha asked again.

"Shouldn't it be like this?" Churbanov asked strangely.

"But if this is the case, they are likely to use you to retaliate against those upright cadres who refuse to join them. Have you ever thought that this will ruin your reputation?" Seryozha persuaded.

"Then you mean...?" asked Churbanov.

"It's very simple! They offered hundreds of thousands of yuan to bribe you as soon as they met. If you took the money and returned to Moscow to be questioned by the Politburo, I think these corrupt officials in Uzbekistan would treat us like fools." It’s a joke. If you know that they are hundreds of thousands, how much did they get? I remember that Rashidov has been the first secretary here for nearly 20 years.

How much do you think he has? "Seryozha seduced Churbanov step by step.

"Go on?" asked Churbanov with an evil smile.

"Comrade Churbanov, the Party Central Committee sent us here to investigate their problems. Our first step is to find out how much money they have! Only in this way can we calculate a reasonable price!" Sergey continued to encourage With Churbanov.

At this time, Churbanov had fully understood that Seryozha wanted to share the spoils with Uzbek officials in proportion! Churbanov suddenly felt a burst of excitement, and he asked quickly, "What do you want to do?"

"The first thing we have to do is to return the money! We can't let them look down!" Seryozha said seriously, and Churbanov nodded in agreement.

Seryozha's remarks finally moved Churbanov. He just wanted to encourage Churbanov to give Uzbek officials a strong dose of medicine. Only in this way can these officials understand that those who hide under the bed , In the cellar, the black money sleeping in the cracks in the wall is actually not safe, it must be taken care of by professionals.

After the two reached a consensus, they immediately called Umarov, the chief of staff. called him to the hotel. When Umarov walked into Churbanov's room with a smile, he did not expect to be greeted with severe criticism from Churbanov.

"When I was in Moscow, I heard some criticisms against the Uzbek cadres. At that time, I just thought that some guys with ulterior motives were making small reports to their superiors, but last night, you really opened my eyes!" Chu Er Barnov said in a serious tone.

"Minister Churbanov, where did you say that?" Umarov was at a loss when he saw Churbanov's face change.

Without saying a word, Churbanov picked up the leather bag on the table and threw it at Umarov. Umarov backed away in fright, and with a bang, the bag fell to the ground, and the rubles inside spilled out.

"Look at the things you gave me, what are they! Don't you know that this is a violation of discipline?" Churbanov shouted excitedly.

The sweat on Umarov's forehead suddenly fell, and he explained with some embarrassment: "These are all the thoughts of comrades, you..."

"Forget it! You are making me make a mistake! I know this is not what you mean. You take the money back. I, Churbanov, am not the kind of cadre you think!" Churbanov said After that, Seryozha sent the guests off, and Umarov could only take the money and leave the room with a heavy expression. (To be continued.)
