Xiao Qingshan knew that Lu Tao was not only close to Xie Benzhu, but he was also a relative of Zhou Yihong, the secretary of Songshan Municipal Committee. As long as he was willing to help, the Commission for Discipline Inspection wouldn't investigate him, and they might not even transfer the case to the Local Taxation Bureau. According to Wang Ding's words, he was his only savior now.
Therefore, when Lu Tao refused to accept his invitation, even though he was very embarrassed and angry, he didn't dare to show it on his face. He still had a stiff smile on his face as he said in a low voice, "Little Lu, if you have other plans tonight, then we won't be eating together. I'll ask you out when you're free. Why don't we go for a cup of tea after you finish your dinner? "
Lu Tao looked up at him and thought to himself, Does this old thing know that Wu Hongyu and I are the ones who planned this? He tried so hard to invite me to dinner and tea. Is he trying to get information from me?
In fact, before instigating Luo Zhongxia to report Xiao Qingshan, Lu Tao had thought it through carefully. He had also taken careful measures to prevent Xiao Qingshan or other people in the bureau from suspecting that he was the one who planned to report Xiao Qingshan. This was because he knew very well that in the bureau, it was the most despicable to complain behind one's back. Especially in a powerful department like the Local Taxation Bureau, many of the staff members were more or less guilty of accepting red packets and gifts, so they hated people who complained behind people's backs the most.
For example, last time, Lu Tao just angrily said that Xiao Qingshan had received benefits from Liu Hong, and he was alienated and treated coldly by many of his colleagues. He almost became the "Public Enemy of the Local Taxation Bureau." If his colleagues found out that he planned to report Xiao Qingshan to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, even those who didn't have a good relationship with Xiao Qingshan would definitely blame him for exposing his family's dirty linen. They would start to alienate and guard against him. In that case, even if Xiao Qingshan was destroyed, he would leave an impression in the hearts of all the staff of the Local Taxation Bureau that he had a bad character and liked to complain. That way, the loss would outweigh the gain!
In order to avoid this situation, Lu Tao repeatedly emphasized to Wu Hongyu, "I don't want to report Xiao Qingshan. If you insist on messing with him, I can help you pass your report to Secretary Xie, but you can't treat me as your ally, and you can't involve me in this troublesome dispute. Also, you can't mention my name in front of Luo Zhongxia and his nephew, and you can't tell him about my relationship with Secretary Xie!
At the same time, he also reminded Wu Zhongyu, "As a subordinate, it is very hateful for you to go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to complain to your superior. If your colleagues find out, you will become the target of public criticism, alienated and isolated by all your colleagues." Therefore, this time, only Luo Zhongxia can come forward to sue Xiao Qingshan. You absolutely cannot sign your name on it, nor can you tell this to anyone, including your family …
At that time, Wu Zhongyu swore to him that he would keep his mouth shut and would never tell a third person about this. However, Lu Tao knew that Wu Zhongyu was a person who couldn't keep his mouth shut, especially when he was drunk. It was easier for him to leak secrets, and all kinds of secrets would come out from his mouth.
Therefore, Lu Tao was not sure whether Xiao Qingshan knew that he was also involved in the complaint. In order to find out the truth, he suddenly asked, "Director Xiao, do you want to talk to me in private? If that's the case, there are only two of us here. Please speak frankly, but we don't need to eat or drink tea. "
Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xiao Lu, I know you're a very straightforward and righteous person, so there's no need for me to hide anything. I'm looking for you now because I need your help. The situation is like this: Just a few days ago, the owner of Qingyun Hotel, Luo Zhongxia, suddenly submitted a complaint to the county's Commission for Discipline Inspection. He reported that during the process of tax inspection of Qingyun Hotel, I abused my power and accepted gifts. I heard that you have a very good relationship with Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so I want to ask you to help me find Secretary Xie and plead with him to not investigate me. "
Lu Tao pretended to be surprised and asked, "The owner of Qingyun Hotel reported you to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Why would he do that? I remember that this case was handled by Director Li Xiangming, Wu Hongyu, and Luo Li. It seems that the tax fines were not much. Could it be that the owner was not satisfied? "
Xiao Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Lu, the reason is very complicated. I don't know how to explain it to you. In fact, I've known the owner of the hotel, Luo Zhongxia, for more than ten years. Our relationship was pretty good, so I took care of him during the tax inspection. But I didn't expect him to be such an ungrateful wolf. He took advantage of me and bit me back. "
Lu Tao deliberately asked, "What kind of problems did that Luo Zhongxia report you about?"
Xiao Qingshan was silent for a moment, then said vaguely, "Anyway, it's the same old complaints. He said that I abused my power for personal gain and so on."
At this point, Lu Tao was sure that Xiao Qingshan did not connect the complaint to him at all. Today, he invited him to dinner purely to ask for his help. He wanted to plead with Xie Benzhu and ask the Commission for Discipline Inspection to not investigate him.
With this judgment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He deliberately frowned and thought for a while, then said in a very sincere tone, "Director Xiao, if you want me to plead with Secretary Xie, then you have to tell me the truth. What problems did Luo Zhongxia report to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Are these problems true? If you don't tell me the truth, or hide some key problems, I don't know how to tell Secretary Xie. Do you think so? "
Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a moment, then clenched his fist as if he had made up his mind. He said in a low voice, "Xiao Lu, you are right. I will be honest with you. In the case of Qingyun Hotel, I made three mistakes. First, I shortened the inspection period of Qingyun Hotel. It should have been three years, but I asked the inspectors to only check for one year, which led to the hotel not being checked for tax evasion for two years. Second, I ordered the inspectors to modify the inspection draft and the inspection report, reducing part of the tax that should be paid, and the punishment for tax evasion was also low. Third, I accepted Luo Zhongxia's red packet of 20,000 yuan and four cartons of Peace World cigarettes. The third point is the most fatal. These two days, I called Luo Zhongxia many times to return the money and cigarettes to him, but he either turned off his phone or didn't answer my calls. There is no way to return it. "
Speaking of this, his face showed frustration and helplessness.
Lu Tao knew that he could not directly reject Xiao Qingshan, and he could not reveal any hatred towards him. Otherwise, it would arouse his suspicion and he might think that he might be the one who planned to mess with him behind the scenes ….
