Lu Yiwei had been "missing" for three days, and Black Mountain County was as peaceful as ever. However, some people had heard some news from the inside, and it was spreading in a small area.
When Wu Shixun learned that Lu Yiwei had been "arrested", he was shocked. How was that possible? There were no signs at all. On the afternoon of his "disappearance", he was still doing research in Maihe Village, explaining and promoting the silkworm rearing policy to the local people. They even had dinner together in the evening. They talked and laughed at the dinner table, and Lu Yiwei told him to speed up. After dinner, they even took a walk together to discuss the next development plan. How could he be arrested?
Moreover, he had been in Black Mountain County for nearly ten years. Lu Yiwei was the first leader who really thought about the local economic development, and the development ideas he put forward were unique, which could lead the people of the county to work together to get rid of poverty and become rich. At the same time, Lu Yiwei's credibility among the people rose, especially recently, he was almost in the village every day, and the people affectionately called him "Little Secretary Lu".
However, a leader who did practical things for the people was inexplicably taken away, and there was no news of him until now.
Wu Shixun remembered the strange phone call and the strange situation in Lu Yiwei's dormitory, and suddenly realized. It seemed that the rumors were not groundless, but true.
What should I do?
Wu Shixun racked his brains for a whole morning, but he still couldn't think of a good way. He hadn't secured his position yet, let alone rescue Lu Yiwei. However, without Lu Yiwei, he wouldn't be where he was today, so he had to do something. But what could he do?
While he was thinking, Song Defu pushed the door open and came in. He hurriedly said, "Old Wu, have you heard?"
Wu Shixun nodded.
"Who did it?" Song Defu was extremely angry. He thought the same as Wu Shixun, that Lu Yiwei was a person who did practical things. A foreigner who would always think about his hometown, except for him, there was no one else.
Wu Shixun shook his head and said, "I don't have much information at the moment, but the day after Secretary Lu disappeared, he used Deputy Mayor Liu Zeqing's phone to call me. I think he should be in the city."
After a moment of silence, Song Defu said, "The most important thing now is to clarify the situation."
"En." Wu Shixun said, "I'll go to the city this afternoon and see if I can find out anything."
"Alright, you ask around, and I'll try to ask around as well. Let's meet again tonight. "
"Alright!"
At night, the two met up at Wu Shixun's dormitory.
"Did you find out?" Song Defu asked eagerly.
Wu Shixun's eyes were like torches as he smoked and said, "Secretary Lu has indeed been punished by the city and is currently locked up in the Procuratorate. As for the reason, there are different opinions. However, many people think that Secretary Lu failed because of this meeting. "
"What? On the spot? "Song Defu found it hard to believe.
"Sigh!" Wu Shixun said in shame, "It's all my fault. I haven't sorted out the accounts yet, or else Secretary Lu would be fine."
Hearing this, Song Defu was also ashamed and said, "Old Wu, we must sort out the accounts tomorrow. We can't drag Secretary Lu into this."
"En, as long as we can rescue Secretary Lu, we must overcome all the difficulties tomorrow. It's just that there are too many loopholes in Guo Zhenbiao's work now. Who knows how much that bastard has swallowed."
Song Defu gritted his teeth and said, "You don't have to worry about that. Tomorrow, I'll keep an eye on him and make him clear on every account. If it doesn't work, I'll start the procedure and directly punish him! "
Hearing that Song Defu wanted to punish Guo Zhenbiao, Wu Shixun could not believe it and turned to look at him.
"Why are you looking at me? Are you afraid? " Under the influence of Lu Yiwei, Song Defu awakened his long-dormant conscience. He was determined to do something practical for his hometown.
"What am I afraid of? As long as you dare to do it, I will definitely support you." Wu Shixun said confidently.
"Alright! As long as you say so! " Song Defu slammed the table and said, "I'll call him later. If he doesn't do anything within a day, tomorrow night will be the anniversary of his death."
Wu Shixun saw that Song Defu was firm and unyielding. He did not know where his courage came from, but he was also determined to completely eradicate this "roadblock" that was hindering the development of Black Mountain County. He said, "Alright, since we're going to do it, we need to have a thorough plan …"
The two of them plotted for a long time and came up with a plan that satisfied both sides. If they wanted to control Guo Zhenbiao, they first had to control his backer, Zhang Dongzi.
When Guo Zhenbiao received Song Defu's call, he was eating with Zhang Dongzi. He threw his phone away and said contemptuously, "Who does Song Defu think he is? How dare he order me around? He's not qualified."
Zhang Dongzi took a sip of wine and said, "Old Guo, why is Song Defu looking for you?"
"What else? He wants me to sort out the accounts of the on-site meeting and beg him. That kid, Lu Yiwei, has already been locked up. Why should I be afraid of him?"
Zhang Dongzi's attitude toward Lu Yiwei had completely changed because of the Maishan Quartz Mine project. She advised, "Old Guo, it's time for you to sort things out. If Lu Yiwei is dismissed because of you, you'll be a sinner of Black Mountain County."
Guo Zhenbiao looked at Zhang Dongzi strangely and said, "Dongzi, why are you speaking up for Lu Yiwei? Just because he contracted the Quartz Mine to you? Don't bother with him. This kid is cunning. He only resorted to this because he won't be able to pay his salary next month. Who in the whole of Xi Zhou City can fork out 50 million at one go? He's lying to you. "
Zhang Dongzi disagreed and said, "Old Guo, tell me the truth. How much did you take from it?"
Hearing Zhang Dongzi's question, Guo Zhenbiao was stunned for a long time and said, "Dongzi, what do you mean?"
"I'll make up for the deficit for you. You're not being honest about this."
"What?" Guo Zhenbiao's eyes widened and said, "Dongzi, what did you say? We're on the same side. Seeing that Lu Yiwei is about to be in trouble, you still want to help him. Have you forgotten our original agreement? "
Zhang Dongzi drank the rest of the wine in one gulp and stood up. "Old Guo, you'd better behave yourself. Don't shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes." With that, she turned and left.
Guo Zhenbiao did not expect Zhang Dongzi's change in attitude. It was obvious that Zhang Dongzi would no longer listen to him. This was an extremely dangerous sign. Without Zhang Dongzi, who was he, Guo Zhenbiao, would be nothing.
What kind of magic did Lu Yiwei have that allowed Zhang Dongzi to abandon his old profession and switch to the resource mining industry? And what kind of ability did he have to make him speak up for him? Guo Zhenbiao could not figure it out.
The next day, Guo Zhenbiao went to work as usual and refused to cooperate with the county's work.
In the evening, Wu Shixun invited Zhang Dongzi to his office and had a heart-to-heart talk.
"Dongzi, we've known each other for almost ten years. It's not that long, but it's not that short either. Back then, you were still a greenhorn. Now that you've matured, I have something to talk to you about."
Zhang Dongzi initially rejected Wu Shixun's invitation, but when he heard that they were going to talk about the quartz stone project, he rushed over. Hearing his question, he said, "Mayor Wu, are you going to talk to me about Guo Zhenbiao?"
"Yes!" Wu Shixun said, "You're very smart. You understand immediately. I'll talk to you about Guo Zhenbiao today."
Zhang Dongzi stood up and said, "Mayor Wu, if it's anything else, I'd be happy to talk to you. But this … I'm sorry, I don't have time."
Seeing that Zhang Dongzi was about to leave, Wu Shixun went forward and grabbed his arm tightly with his plier-like hand. "Dongzi, do you know that Secretary Lu is locked up?"
Zhang Dongzi did not say anything.
Wu Shixun continued, "Guo Zhenbiao took more than four million yuan in this field meeting. After investigation, only 800,000 yuan was used for food and accommodation. Are you still going to cover up for such a big problem?"
Zhang Dongzi knew that Guo Zhenbiao took money from the field, but he did not expect him to take so much at once. He turned around and said, "Is it true?"
"How could I lie to you?"
Wu Shixun pressed him down on the sofa and said, "All these years, Guo Zhenbiao has been domineering and domineering in Black Mountain County. Everyone hated him to the core, but no one dared to touch a finger of him. Why? Most of it is because of you. To put it bluntly, we're all afraid of your father. "
"And today, Secretary Lu is locked up for no reason. We can't just sit back and do nothing. We must show some sincerity and do something. As far as I know, the accounts of the field meeting are the direct cause of Secretary Lu's arrest, so we must take measures to make Guo Zhenbiao bear the corresponding responsibility. "
Hearing this, Zhang Dongzi suddenly understood and defended Guo Zhenbiao. "How many vacancies are there? I'll fill them up now."
Since Wu Shixun had made up his mind to get rid of Guo Zhenbiao, there was no turning back. He said, "Dongzi, it's not a matter of money now. It has escalated to a political level. For so many years, Guo Zhenbiao has used your name to dominate the market. As long as someone dares to offend him, he will not hesitate to take care of them. The people are full of complaints and suffering. "
"Actually, think about it carefully. If you didn't support Guo Zhenbiao, would he be where he is today? Besides, all the bad things he has done have been pushed onto you, so people have labeled you as a member of the triads. Are you such a person? I don't think so. So, all these years, you've actually been used by Guo Zhenbiao! "
Zhang Dongzi followed Wu Shixun's train of thought and came to a sudden realization. His words woke her up. Yes, everything that Guo Zhenbiao has done has been pushed onto me, and I've even foolishly taken an arrow for him and been played by him. If it wasn't for him, wouldn't I have been able to survive in Black Mountain County?
Seeing that Zhang Dongzi was wavering, Wu Shixun continued to attack. "Dongzi, let's not talk about Secretary Lu's merits and demerits, let alone his seniority and age. He has been in Black Mountain County for more than a year. First, he organized the people to fight the drought, integrated education, and turned the tide in the fight against SARS. Now, he has built the land of the tussah and contracted the quartz mine to you. Tell me, which leader has done a good thing for Black Mountain County? I don't think so. "
