"Mayor Luo, it's true. I'm old, and I don't lie," Mayor Ma said immediately, afraid that Luo Tianyun wouldn't believe him.
"Sir, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm just curious. You've worked hard all the way here, and Tianyun is very grateful to all of you. Now, please enjoy your meal. After the meal, we'll go to the provincial capital immediately, Secretary Zhu is waiting for us, "Luo Tianyun looked at everyone and said.
The two cars drove into the city, and they sat down in an inconspicuous restaurant. Luo Tianyun's driver took care of the dishes, and Luo Tianyun looked at Mayor Ma and said, "I'm sorry, sir. We don't have much time, so we can only have a simple meal. Consider it a small gift from Tianyun."
The more Luo Tianyun acted like this, the more excited Liu Feng and Mayor Ma became. In their impression, Luo Tianyun was a serious person, because Luo Tianyun rarely smiled on TV. They thought that Luo Tianyun would be fiercer than a tiger in real life. They didn't expect Luo Tianyun to be so easygoing instead of putting on airs. What moved them the most was that after the meal, Luo Tianyun went to pay the bill himself. Ma Yingjie didn't expect Luo Tianyun to pay the bill himself.
After paying the bill, Luo Tianyun looked at Mayor Ma and said, "This is a private meal, and I'm not putting on a show. I'm really grateful that you came all the way here to testify for me. Although I didn't spend a lot of money, it's the happiest I've ever paid a bill. "
Mayor Ma was truly surprised and touched by this. Leaders, the older they were, the more approachable they would be, and the younger they were, the more arrogant they would be.
After the meal, the two cars drove to the provincial capital one after the other. Luo Tianyun called Director Wen in the car, and the moment the call went through, Director Wen said, "Secretary Zhu has asked about this matter, did you find the witness?"
"Brother Wen, the witness is in our car, and he said that the silver dollar has Ma Ji's signature on it. If that's the case, we don't need to investigate anymore. However, I still brought the witness to the provincial capital. " Luo Tianyun said calmly. Since things had come to this point, there was no longer any suspense. Moreover, he did this because he wanted Zhu Tianyou to take this opportunity to suppress Lu Xinbo's arrogance.
"Be careful, I'll send someone to investigate immediately." As soon as Director Wen hung up the phone, he called the Chief of the Dongcheng Police Station and asked him to retrieve the money himself. He now suspected that the Chief of the Dongcheng Police Station was up to something. He must have been ordered by someone to release the hostage so early. The problem in Qin County hadn't even been fully investigated, but the investigation team had gone to Wu Du County. It was obvious that someone was behind this. Now that they had found a witness, they had turned from passive to active. If he couldn't find a witness, wouldn't he just have to listen to them framing him? These subordinates thought that the wind was the sound of rain. They thought that they had found a big tree to lean on and that they had a backer. How could it be so easy to find a backer?
Director Wen couldn't blame his subordinates. Even he himself was looking for a backer. Of course, it was easier for his subordinates to find a big tree, so they were eager to climb up.
When Luo Tianyun and the others arrived at the provincial capital, Zhu Tianyou had already notified the relevant personnel for a meeting. He especially emphasized that the main person in charge of the Discipline Inspection Department had to be present. Lu Xinbo didn't understand why Zhu Tianyou suddenly called for a meeting. Tian Tian had brought the investigation team to Wu Du County, but the news that came back wasn't optimistic. They still couldn't find any useful information about Luo Tianyun. However, with Jiang Chaoqun and Mei Jie's testimony, it could be considered as clear evidence.
Lu Xinbo thought that with such clear evidence in his hands, why would he be afraid of Zhu Tianyou? In the end, when he walked into the meeting room, he was stunned. Other than Luo Tianyun, Guo Bangde, and Director Wen, no one else was in the meeting room. Zhu Tianyou sat in the main seat, and the three of them sat in the first row. When he saw Lu Xinbo come in, Zhu Tianyou said, "Old Lu, sit."
Lu Xinbo didn't know if he should sit in the main seat or sit in the first row. He was a little embarrassed.
"Old Lu, come and sit in the main seat." Zhu Tianyou said.
"Secretary Zhu, this … what is going on? Didn't you say that all the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Department must be present for this meeting? "Lu Xinbo asked.
"Isn't Comrade Bond from the Discipline Inspection Department? Is Director Wen from the Public Security Department? Today's meeting is about the responsibilities and authority of the Discipline Inspection Department and Public Security Department. I want to hear Old Lu's explanation. Of course, Comrade Tianyun is specially invited by me. Didn't you send someone to investigate him? Now that I have brought the man before you, you may investigate him openly and honestly. "
Lu Xinbo was dumbfounded. What is going on? He had indeed said that he will investigate Luo Tianyun, but he had only mentioned it verbally. But he didn't expect Tian Tian to investigate so quickly. Of course, it's fine. Investigations are common for the Discipline Inspection Department, and it's not a big deal. Furthermore, if what Jiang Chaoqun said is true, what is there for him to worry about? So, Dong Xuebing looked at Zhu Tianyou and said: "Secretary Zhu, why are you doing this? Everyone is busy. If you want to have a meeting, do it normally. If you want to talk privately, do it in the office. Aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? I still have a lot of things to deal with. I will leave first. " As he said that, he really did walk out. Zhu Tianyou suddenly became angry. He slammed his hand on the rostrum and shouted at Lu Xinbo's back, "Lu Xinbo!" Perhaps because Zhu Tianyou was really angry, Lu Xinbo still felt a little guilty. After all, Zhu Tianyou is the Secretary, and he is only the Provincial Governor. If this really happened, the higher-ups will be biased towards the Secretary. Dong Xuebing stopped and turned to look at the angry Zhu Tianyou. He doesn't know what to say. For a while, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the hall was heavy.
Luo Tianyun didn't expect that Zhu Tianyou and Lu Xinbo would really start a fight. Looks like this time, Zhu Tianyou is serious. He sat there and quietly watched the confrontation between the Secretary and the Provincial Governor. At this time, it is best for them not to speak. Otherwise, Lu Xinbo will vent his anger on them.
The atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense. Zhu Tianyou stared at Lu Xinbo, and Lu Xinbo also stared at Zhu Tianyou. After staring for a full two minutes, Lu Xinbo admitted defeat and said with a gentle tone: "Secretary Zhu, if I, Lu Xinbo, made any mistakes, please point it out. Don't use this method, okay?"
Zhu Tianyou saw Lu Xinbo was finally willing to lower his head in front of him, so he smiled and said: "Sit, Old Lu. I will show you the evidence."
Lu Xinbo sat on the podium in confusion. Not long after, Mayor Ma walked in. Zhu Tianyou pointed to the chairs in the back row and said: "Sit."
This time, when Mayor Ma saw the Provincial Governor and the Provincial Secretary, he was very excited and nervous. Anyway, the silver was left by his ancestors, and the rest was his personal collection. He didn't do anything wrong, so what is there to be afraid of? So, he sat behind Luo Tianyun. This way, he can see the Secretary and the Provincial Governor more clearly.
"Old man, can you tell me what's with the silver dollar?" Zhu Tianyou looked at Mayor Ma and asked politely.
This is the conference room, and when Mayor Ma heard the Provincial Secretary calling him, he immediately stood up. Zhu Tianyou said: "Old man, sit down and talk." Hearing the word "old man", Mayor Ma's eyes were filled with tears, and he kept saying: "Thank you, Secretary, thank you, Secretary." Luo Tianyun saw that Mayor Ma was excited, so he quickly walked over and helped him to sit down and said: "Old man, speak slowly."
Lu Xinbo looked at these people in confusion. He heard from Tian Tian that the silver was collected by Luo Tianyun, why is this old man here? What are they trying to do?
Mayor Ma then told them how his family inherited the silver, how he collected other people's silver, and how he gave it to Jiang Chaoqun.
After Mayor Ma finished, Lu Xinbo realized that he was too careless. Why did he believe Jiang Chaoqun and Mei Jie's testimony? Can oral testimony count as evidence? He realized that he had made a mistake. When his subordinates told him this, he believed that it was true. Now, they had directly brought the witness to him. He was as passive as he could be. But, he started to blame Tian Tian. Why did he run to Wu Du in such a hurry? If there was really a problem, why would he be afraid that Wu Du would fly away?
At this time, Mayor Ma said: "My family's silver has the words' Ma Ji 'on it. You can show me the silver, I recognize my family's silver."
Director Wen had already asked the Eastern City Bureau Chief to personally bring a box of silver over. At this time, he got down from his seat and lifted the box from under the table. When he opened it, the box was filled with silver, shining like a luminous pearl, and it lit up the conference room. This really broadened Lu Xinbo's horizons, he had never seen so many silver dollars before. He walked down from the main seat and Zhu Tianyou also walked down. The few of them surrounded the chest of silver dollars and Mayor Ma excitedly grabbed a handful and brought it in front of his eyes to identify it. It really was his family's silver dollars with the Ma inscription on it. He excitedly said: "Look, look, I didn't lie to you guys, this, this is all my family's silver dollars." Zhu Tianyou, Lu Xinbo, Luo Tianyun, Director Wen and Guo Bangde looked at the silver that Mayor Ma handed over. There was indeed a small Ma Ji engraved on the edge of the silver, and it was easy to miss it if one didn't look carefully.
After everyone looked at it, Mayor Ma said: "Secretary Zhu, you must help me. I don't want to solve my son's problem, I just want Jiang Chaoqun, that bastard, to return these silver to me. I asked him many times, but he refused to admit that he took my silver. This is passed down from generation to generation in our Ma family, I won't sell it, I won't give it to you. I was wrong, I won't bribe anyone in the future. "The old man was really emotional, and he looked at Zhu Tianyou and said incoherently.
"Old man, don't worry, these are your family's money, I will return them to you." Zhu Tianyou's words meant that he had already made a decision. Director Wen quickly locked the box and handed it to Mayor Ma.
"Really?" Mayor Ma asked in disbelief.
"How much did you give to Jiang Chaoqun?" Director Wen asked.
