Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Now that the situation is in his favor, Hua Pengtao starts talking nonsense. Anyway, there is no need for any evidence for what he said, so what's the point of his nonsense?

"Oh, there is such a thing. Isn't the work of this Inspectorate a bit too rough?" Ouyang Ling also started to speak at this time, and while speaking he looked at Feng Sizhe who was sitting next to him.

"No, there is no such thing at all. We haven't discussed anything with Comrade Hua Pengtao in the past few days." Chen Ping explained hurriedly. He hated it very much. He hated how there could be such a shameless person like Hua Pengtao in the world. How could he lie with his eyes open without blushing?

"Why are you so excited? Since Comrade Hua Pengtao said so, I want to ask you, what evidence do you have?" Feng Sizhe was not in a hurry, but used the word "evidence" to talk about the matter.

"Evidence? What evidence can I have when I am locked up here by you? You know best in your hearts whether some things were really done or not." Hua Pengtao sneered and said that he could not have any evidence. He was a prisoner and had lost a certain degree of freedom. Some things had happened and he could not keep any evidence.

"Oh, Comrade Feng Sizhe is wrong. How do you expect a person who has already lost his freedom to produce evidence?" Sheng Shike seemed to be making something clear. In fact, his words were directed to Hua Pengtao. He was also telling everyone that Hua Pengtao was a prisoner and that it was impossible for him to have any evidence because he knew what had happened to him.

"How can you talk nonsense when there is no evidence? I think he is slandering our Inspection Office." Feng Sizhe also insisted that the other party had no evidence.

"Comrade Feng Sizhe, what do you mean? Isn't it a bit unreasonable to ask a person who has lost his freedom and is imprisoned for evidence? Are you deliberately making things difficult for our comrades?" Sheng Shike seemed very angry and stood up from his seat, accusing Feng Sizhe of shielding the people in their Inspectorate.

Seeing that Sheng Shike seemed to be angry, Feng Sizhe smiled, "Deputy Secretary Sheng, you said that I deliberately made things difficult for my comrades. Do you have any evidence?"

Evidence again. Hearing this word, Sheng Shike became even angrier. "Evidence? Just because you detained Comrade Hua Pengtao for no reason, isn't that enough?"

"How can you say he is detained without reason? I have the real evidence to report him. Based on this, our Inspectorate can control the man and investigate the facts clearly." Feng Sizhe said without hesitation. From a certain perspective, Sheng Shike is indeed his superior, but this person always makes trouble for him, and he must fight back when appropriate. He wants to make it clear to the other party that you should not use your official rank to suppress me, as this set of tactics does not work so well on me.

"You said there are materials reporting him, but I don't know where they are and who is the reporter?" Sheng Shike didn't seem to take what Feng Sizhe said seriously, or he thought in his heart that all of this was made up by Feng Sizhe himself just to settle personal grudges and cause trouble for Hua Pengtao.

"What? Does Vice Secretary Sheng really have to know? Well, I'll show it to you. I just hope that after you read these materials, you will never say that I want to use this matter to settle personal grudges." Feng Sizhe had already prepared the reporting materials. In other words, these were the materials that Vice Secretary Xie Fei and Gu Rongxian had jointly found. Anyway, the case would be revealed sooner or later, and the reporting materials would be known to some people. Sheng Shike happened to be one of those who had the right to know, and he would see the materials sooner or later. It was no big deal to show them to him now.

Feng Sizhe took a stack of materials and placed them in front of Sheng Shike. After he looked at the materials, he shut up. He knew several of these informants. They were all cadres of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection who went to Qi City with Hua Pengtao to handle the case. Among these informants, there were people from Deputy Secretary Xie Fei and people from the Gu faction.

It is not difficult to see from the materials that this time Feng Sizhe targeted Hua Pengtao with the support of Xie Fei and the Gu family. Although he did not know why they would unite to help Feng Sizhe, just from the materials, it was enough to cause trouble for Hua Pengtao in terms of organizational procedures.

After Sheng Shike closed his mouth, Feng Sizhe said to Chen Ping, "Okay, Team Leader Chen, go ahead and ask."

"Yes." Chen Ping nodded and recovered his mood. Facing the pressure from the two deputy secretaries, Feng Sizhe could accept it calmly, but he couldn't. He was only a deputy department-level cadre, and he was still very insignificant in front of the ministerial-level officials. If Feng Sizhe hadn't been here to support him, he would have been at a loss as to what to do.

After calming down, Chen Ping faced Zhang Zhong and asked, "Comrade Zhang Zhong, you keep saying that all the procedures and work you did during the road construction in Qi City were legal. Then, what about these materials in my hands that reflect your corruption and bribery? How do you explain these?"

Immediately, a staff member of the field team brought a stack of materials to Zhang Zhong. These were materials found by the field team who traveled far to Qi City to find the cadres who participated in the road construction that year. Some of the people who provided these materials have now retired, and some were Zhang Zhong's political enemies. For this reason, they are not afraid of anything.

Looking at the materials in front of him, Zhang Zhong was somewhat panicked. He had not expected that Chen Ping's work was so detailed. Now facing the accusations of these people who knew him well, he really didn't know how to explain. Since Hua Pengtao and his group left Qi City, Zhang Zhong himself has become more courageous. Even the investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection did not do anything to him, so he became more fearless and naturally did not take others seriously. This inevitably offended some people. In the past, it was just that others did not have the opportunity to overthrow him, so these people kept silent, but now the opportunity has come, and they actually took action at the same time. What should he do?

After reading these materials, Zhang Zhong suddenly became silent, which made everyone present feel that there might be something wrong with Zhang Zhong. Otherwise, he would not have behaved like this when faced with false evidence.

Zhang Zhong's performance made some people anxious, especially Hua Pengtao, who was sitting not far from him, and felt the pressure. Because if Zhang Zhong had a problem, he couldn't escape, because he was the one who handled the case in the first place, and now that the case had gone wrong, he, the person in charge at the time, would also be held accountable.

Thinking that he couldn't let such a good situation be lost, Hua Pengtao said with a turn of his eyes, "May I ask who are these people who provided the evidence?"

"Huh?" Chen Ping was stunned when he heard Hua Pengtao make such a request.

"I think we can tell Comrade Hua Pengtao. After all, he was one of the main persons in charge of the case. It is necessary for him to understand the case." As soon as Sheng Shike saw Hua Pengtao speak, he quickly expressed his support. Based on his understanding of his subordinate, he would not ask such a question casually. He thought there must be some intention behind it.

After hearing what Sheng Shike said, Chen Ping quickly shifted his gaze to Feng Sizhe. This was his superior and he had to listen to this man.

Feng Sizhe was already confident. He was not afraid of the other party causing any trouble, so he just nodded and magnanimously told Chen Ping that he could answer Hua Pengtao's questions, which would show that he had a clear conscience.

"Okay." Seeing Feng Sizhe nodded, Chen Ping turned around and reported some names to Hua Pengtao.

Upon hearing these names, Hua Pengtao laughed, "Haha, Team Leader Chen, if I remember correctly, I met all the people who reported Comrade Zhang Zhong when I went to Qi City to investigate this case, and I also have their confessions at that time. I don't understand why they clearly said that Comrade Zhang Zhong had no problems, but why did they suddenly change their confessions after such a long time? Is there any other reason behind this?"

As soon as Hua Pengtao said this, Sheng Shike's eyes lit up not far away. He thought that his subordinate was indeed very capable. At this time, he could think of this method to deal with these testimonies that were unfavorable to his side. It was indeed the best solution to the problem.

"This..." Chen Ping was stunned again by this question. He had never thought about this question before. Now that Hua Pengtao asked it, he seemed to have no idea how to answer it.

In fact, the reason is very simple. At the beginning, Zhang Zhongzheng was in power and Hua Pengtao supported him. Of course, those people would rather not get involved. But now that Zhang Zhongzheng has been taken away, they have nothing to worry about. This is why they dare to speak the truth, which is understandable. This is the drawback of officialdom. If you want to investigate a person in office, you will be affected by many aspects and concerns. This is also the main reason why the Discipline Inspection Commission will control the cadres first if they want to investigate them. Because if certain measures are not taken, many people will not dare to tell the truth.

Hua Pengtao looked at Chen Ping speechless, then he laughed and continued, "So, from the two inconsistent confessions of these people, it can be seen that their words are not credible at all? I even have reason to suspect that some people did something behind the scenes and put pressure on these people, so that they would say such things."

It has to be said that Hua Pengtao is indeed capable and is worthy of being a veteran cadre who has worked in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years. He indeed reacted very quickly to the case.
