Lu Xinbo was indeed arrogant. He had no clue about the case, yet he wanted to investigate the acting secretary he appointed just based on the words of the county's secretary. Wasn't that clearly challenging him? If this kind of challenge continued in a vicious cycle, how could the work be carried out? He could call Guo Bangde right now and ask him to immediately bring people to investigate Tian Tian. He had heard of Tian Tian before, and he believed that the investigation would be accurate. However, what was the point of investigating like this? Everyone had all sorts of problems. It was just a matter of how many problems there were. If their opponents used public power to investigate the other side, and the people found out, it would be strange if they didn't laugh at those with public power.
However, Zhu Tianyou did not want to give up on this matter. He had to give Lu Xinbo a good reason to stop the internal strife and focus on the work in Jiangnan Province. He had to get the work in all the prefectures and cities back on track.
Thinking of this, Zhu Tianyou gave Guo Bangde a call. He said over the phone, "Bonder, go and investigate Tian Tian's matter. Find some strong evidence and send it to me immediately. Don't tell anyone about this. Other than you and me, if anyone else knows about it, I'll hold you responsible. "
"Understood. Secretary Zhu. Don't worry, I promise I'll complete the task, "Guo Bangde said over the phone. Zhu Tianyou said," Go ahead. "Then, he hung up. After hanging up the phone, Zhu Tianyou stared at the big words on the wall, "Pure and innocent." It was written by the old man himself. He handed it to Zhu Tianyou and said, "Scheming for power is based on the word 'scheming', and being a person is based on the word 'moral'. You can scheme for power, but as an official, you must be pure and innocent." No matter where Zhu Tianyou became an official, he would carry these words with him. He would always tell himself that he must be clean as an official. He could not be an official and want to be rich at the same time.
Even God would not allow a person to have so much. Zhu Tianyou thought that he must give Lu Xinbo a wake-up call this time.
At that moment, Ma Yingjie had returned to Qin County. Liu Feng was waiting for Ma Yingjie at the gate of the watermill. When he saw Ma Yingjie getting out of the car, he immediately went up to him and said, "County Mayor Ma is here."
"Secretary Liu, thank you for your hard work." Ma Yingjie reached out and held Liu Feng's hand tightly. Liu Feng smiled and said, "County Mayor Ma, you're the one who worked hard. It's really hard for you, County Mayor." Clearly, Liu Feng knew what had happened. Ma Yingjie asked directly, "What's the exact situation?"
"I'm just waiting for Mayor County Ma to come back. I've already contacted the person involved. Let's go to the victim's house to pick him up and we'll go to Shuzhou together, "Liu Feng said.
"You found it so quickly?" Ma Yingjie almost couldn't believe it.
"Actually, our Commission for Discipline Inspection receives a lot of reports every day. As long as we pay attention, we can definitely collect a lot of clues. Of course, if the higher-ups don't tell us who to investigate, we definitely won't take the initiative, "Liu Feng said as he followed Ma Yingjie to the car.
Ma Yingjie drove to Zhaojiazi Town with Liu Feng. Since Zhaojiazi Town was close to the provincial capital, it had the most developed business in Qin County at that time. Therefore, there were a lot of rich families there. There was a street called Su District, which had preserved the style of the Republic of China period. There were medicine shops, pawnshops, cloth shops, oil shops, and so on. This street was full of rich families, but most of their properties were confiscated later, and their silver dollars were scattered among the people. Later, when Jiang Chaoqun became the County Mayor of Qin County, the old Mayor Ma found out that Jiang Chaoqun liked to collect silver dollars, so he catered to Jiang Chaoqun's interest and collected a lot of silver dollars from the people. Most of the silver dollars in Zhaojiazi Town were collected by Mayor Ma. However, after he gave the silver dollars to Jiang Chaoqun, Jiang Chaoqun promised to transfer Mayor Ma's son to the Water Conservancy Bureau as the director. However, his son hadn't been able to do so until now. In a fit of anger, Mayor Ma wrote a letter to sue Jiang Chaoqun for accepting bribes. Liu Feng got the letter, but he didn't say anything about it because he knew the silver dollars couldn't touch Jiang Chaoqun. At that time, the silver dollars weren't worth much, and it only became more valuable later on. He didn't expect Jiang Chaoqun to make a false accusation, saying that Luo Tianyun asked him to collect the silver dollars. Jiang Chaoqun didn't expect Liu Feng to have evidence against him.
When they arrived at Mayor Ma's house, Ma Yingjie and Liu Feng got out of the car. They found Mayor Ma and told him the purpose of their visit. Mayor Ma was disappointed when he saw that he couldn't sue Jiang Chaoqun with his real name, and he just wanted his son to be a deputy director. As long as he didn't starve to death, everything would be fine. Now that people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection suddenly came to him, he became excited again. "I'm willing to testify. If he doesn't help me, he has to return the silver dollars to me. They're worth a lot now."
Liu Feng and Ma Yingjie didn't expect things to go so smoothly. They smiled at each other and led Mayor Ma to the car. Just when Ma Yingjie and the others were about to get into the car, Liu Feng suddenly screamed.
Ma Yingjie looked in the direction of Liu Feng's scream and saw Wang Chede leading a group of people out of the police car.
"What are they doing here?" Ma Yingjie asked Liu Feng softly.
"Do they know that we're bringing Mayor Ma to testify?" Liu Feng didn't know why these people were here, so he asked Ma Yingjie back. Liu Feng knew that Wang Chede was a bandit. As long as the leader showed him some respect, he would fight in the front. This person was all brawn and no brains. Sometimes, Liu Feng could not understand why so many people that he looked down on were in positions of power.
Look at this Wang Chede. He's all dressed up and shakes like an old duck when he walks. But he's been put in an important position by one leader after another. First, Ren Zhiqiang promoted him to be the director. Then, Jiang Chaoqun treats him as a confidant. Did the leaders like to use people like him? Liu Feng was depressed for a period of time. He was a top student who graduated from Jiangnan University and was still the Deputy Secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was capable and smart, but he wasn't as famous as Ma Yingjie.
"Bring Mayor Ma away now. I'll hold them back." Ma Yingjie then shoved the car key to Liu Feng and asked him to bring Mayor Ma away. Liu Feng's heart ached. 'What kind of world is this? A Deputy Mayor is afraid of a Director of the Public Security Bureau.' Compared to himself, he and Ma Yingjie were in the same boat.
Liu Feng had traveled a lot for Ma Yingjie previously, so he had some understanding of Ma Yingjie. It was already impressive for a young man to be like Ma Yingjie. At least, Ma Yingjie was doing better than him. He was older than Ma Yingjie, but he couldn't get up from the section-level position. Ma Yingjie was still young, but he was already a Deputy Division Chief. He had a bright future ahead of him. However, Ma Yingjie was a low-profile person. Even now, Ma Yingjie still asked Liu Feng to leave first and deal with them himself instead of using his power to pressure others. Liu Feng admired Ma Yingjie for this. He was too direct, and he had offended many people over the years. The Commission for Discipline Inspection was a place that offended people, and since he wasn't good at dealing with people, he had never been put in an important position.
Liu Feng went to start the car, and Ma Yingjie helped Mayor Ma into the car. However, Wang Chede's men had already arrived, and they blocked the car and refused to budge.
Ma Yingjie saw this and knew that Wang Chede was coming for them. He looked at Wang Chede coldly and asked, "Director Wang, are you doing this for official business or private business?"
Wang Chede received a call from Jiang Chaoqun, and he asked him to follow Ma Yingjie's car. When Ma Yingjie's car returned to Qin County, he did not enter the government compound. Instead, he went to the watermill. This made Jiang Chaoqun worried. He suspected that Ma Yingjie was investigating something. Was it related to Silver Yuan?
