From Xiao Qingshan's point of view, Luo Zhongxia's refusal to waive his bill, even though it wasn't a lot of money, made him lose face in front of his comrades. At the same time, it was also a contempt for his authority as the Director of the Inspection Bureau.
Therefore, a month later, he arranged for Li Xiangming to lead two inspectors to enter the Qingyun Hotel on the pretext that he had received a complaint from the public. They started a tax inspection of the hotel's tax payment for the past three years. Wu Hongyu was a member of this inspection team.
According to Wu Hongyu, at that time, they investigated and verified that for the past three years, Qingyun Hotel had underpaid local taxes, water conservancy construction fund, employment security fund for the disabled, and labor union funds by a total of more than 800,000 yuan. If fines and late fees were added, they would have to pay at least one million yuan to close the case.
Luo Zhongxia was dumbfounded. He quickly brought cigarettes, alcohol, and red packets to Xiao Qingshan's house to plead, but Xiao Qingshan refused.
Later, Luo Zhongxia learned from an acquaintance that the Qingyun Hotel wasn't included in the inspection plan of the Local Taxation Bureau, but because he didn't waive Xiao Qingshan's bill a month ago, he held a grudge. So, under the guise of a public report, he decided to conduct a tax inspection on the Qingyun Hotel, and the inspection lasted for three years.
After receiving this information, Luo Zhongxia was furious, but he couldn't do anything. He didn't have any evidence to prove that Xiao Qingshan was taking revenge on him, and he didn't dare accuse Xiao Qingshan of taking revenge on him. Finally, he found the head of the Local Taxation Bureau, Long Jianbin, through his connections. He asked him to say hello to Xiao Qingshan and gave him a big red packet. Only then did he settle the matter.
When Wu Hongyu told Lu Tao this story, he didn't go into detail. At that time, Lu Tao was in the pain of being heartbroken, so he wasn't interested in knowing the details. So, he only knew that there was such a thing, but he didn't know the details. So, today, he wanted to invite Wu Hongyu to have a meal alone and make him drink a few glasses of wine. He wanted to get some clues about Xiao Qingshan's corruption from him.
Because Wu Hongyu had a loose mouth and liked to pry into other people's privacy, the officers in the County Bureau distanced themselves from him and hated him. Usually, when there was a gathering between the officers, they would not invite him. So when Lu Tao took the initiative to treat him to a meal, he was exceptionally emotional and kept on thanking him.
After they sat down in a small restaurant, Lu Tao asked Wu Hongyu to order three dishes. While waiting for the dishes to be served, he took the initiative to talk about the arrangement of the positions of the Inspection Bureau's personnel. "Brother Wu, what do you think is the real intention of Bureau Chief Xiao this time, rearranging the positions of the Inspection Bureau's cadres, and emphasizing that the inspection, trial, and execution should all perform their own duties and responsibilities, and that they should not be mixed up in different positions? Is it really as he said, just to standardize the tax inspection procedures? "
Wu Hongyu said angrily, "Director Lu, his words are bullshit! I have been involved in the tax work for more than ten years. The inspection bureau of the county and city bureau has always been an overall group of officials participating in the inspection. Then, it will be a centralized trial and execution. There is no clear distinction. Xiao Qingshan is obviously targeting you by doing this. He wants to deprive you of the right to inspect the next household so that you can only clean up the case. "
Lu Tao deliberately said, "Brother Wu, it doesn't seem like he is targeting me on purpose! Hu Hongbin has such a good relationship with him, but he is in charge of the trial work, so he can't inspect the next household. He also only has one soldier under him. Isn't he treated the same as me? "
Wu Hongyu looked at him like he was looking at a monster. "Director Lu, are you trying to act cool with me? You are such a smart person. Can't you see that there is something fishy about this? You are right. On the surface, it seems like Hu Hongbin is also a figurehead. But in reality, because he is in charge of the trial, he can also go to the next household to investigate and collect evidence. He also has the right to overturn the inspection report of the inspectors. So nominally, he can't go to the next household to inspect, but in reality, he has a lot of power. If the inspected unit wants to pay less tax, they have to go through him. Only you and I are in charge of the execution. We can only supervise the taxpayers to pay the tax according to the amount determined by the inspection team and the trial team. We have no power at all. So, Xiao Qingshan is targeting the two of us. "
Lu Tao faintly smiled and said, "Xiao Qingshan wants to suppress me. This is easy to understand. After all, three months ago I contradicted him and exposed the problem of him abusing his power for personal gain. This made him angry out of shame. So, he must make me a figurehead and not let me participate in the inspection. But, you have no enmity with him. Why would he want to step on you? Why did he pick you out to do the execution? Logically speaking, you have worked in the Inspection Bureau for five or six years. You can be considered a senior inspection officer. Your experience and skills in auditing accounts are relatively strong. It is not your turn to do the execution work. Isn't this a waste of talent? "
Wu Hongyu was provoked by Lu Tao. His cheeks suddenly flushed red and he said hatefully, "Xiao Qingshan, this old traitor. He is taking revenge on me. Do you still remember that time I told you about the Clear Sky Hotel's accounting? I don't know which bootlicker, but he complained to Xiao Qingshan about me. He said that I spread the rumor that the reason Xiao Qingshan wanted to investigate the Clear Sky Hotel was because the hotel owner, Luo Zhongxia, didn't give him a free bill. In his anger, he arranged for people to check the hotel. That was the truth, wasn't it? I didn't make up rumors about him. But he held a grudge against me. Later, he arranged for me to be in charge of internal work and no longer let me go out to do inspections. This time, he took the opportunity of the position adjustment and arranged for me to be in the execution team. In fact, he put me in the cold palace.
Fuck!
His grandmother! "
The more Wu Hongyu spoke, the angrier he got. In the end, he couldn't help but curse. He even splashed a few strands of spittle on Lu Tao's face.
Lu Tao calmly took out a tissue and wiped the spittle on his face as if nothing had happened. He continued to add fuel to the fire, "Brother Wu, according to what you said, you were deprived of the right to conduct inspections. This is purely a disaster that comes from the mouth! But, Chief Xiao's heart is a bit too small. He is simply seeking revenge for the smallest grievance! You only said a few words about him, and what you said was the truth. You didn't wrongly accuse him. Yet, he wants to kill you. This is a bit too sinister! "
Wu Hongyu nodded viciously. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chief Lu, don't worry. I am not that easy to bully. Sooner or later, Xiao Qingshan, this old traitor, will suffer."
Speaking of this, he looked back at the door of the room. He suddenly leaned his head over and said in a low voice, "Chief Lu, do you know? I heard from Luo Zhongxia's nephew that he has evidence of giving money to Xiao Qingshan. Sooner or later, he will report him to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. "
