Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Xia Xiang mentioned Feng Sizhe's name right away, hoping to have a better communication with Ying Weiquan and his wife. Otherwise, if they were resistant, it would be difficult to handle some of the things that follow.

"Feng Sizhe?" Ying Weiquan was stunned for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name. He really didn't know who this person was.

When Sun Li heard the name, her face showed obvious expression. She had heard her daughter mention this person, and she had actually seen this person, but knowing her husband's temper very well, she did not dare to tell him about her trip to Kyoto to meet Feng Sizhe. The reason was simple. Her husband was too conservative. If he knew that his daughter was with a married man, he was afraid that he would not be able to accept it psychologically. In order not to aggravate the conflict, she thought about bringing up the matter slowly, but she did not expect Xia Xiang to directly say the name, which made her a little at a loss.

Seeing Ying Weiquan's completely confused expression, Xia Xiang was also stunned for a moment, but after seeing Sun Li's expression, he seemed to understand something. "Yes, it was Comrade Feng Sizhe who asked me to come. He and I used to be colleagues and had a good relationship. He called and said that you were wronged and asked me to come and take a look. What do you think? If you believe me, you can tell me directly if there is anything."

"Old man, I know this person. He is Taoer's friend in Kyoto. I heard that he also works in a government department." At this time, Sun Li began to gradually instill Feng Sizhe's affairs into Ying Weiqun.

When he heard that it was his daughter's friend, Ying Weiquan didn't think too much about it. After all, he was in trouble now and didn't have time for him to think too much.

After listening to his wife's words, he nodded to show that he understood, then looked at Xia Xiang and said, "Minister Xia, I really want to know one thing, what is the basis for them to arrest us?"

"What? You don't know yet?" Xia Xiang was stunned when he saw that Ying Weiqun didn't even know why he was invited to the County Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Know? Know what?" Ying Weiquan looked completely confused.

"Oh, it's like this. The county discipline inspection commission received a letter reporting you for taking bribes, and then they teamed up with the county public security bureau to search your home. As a result, they found a savings book with 200,000 yuan, and they suspect that you got the money through improper means." Xia Xiang briefly explained the matter. After he finished speaking, he began to carefully observe the expressions of the two men. Obviously, he wanted to confirm whether this was true.

When Ying Weiquan heard about the 200,000 yuan passbook, he was stunned at first, then looked at his wife, "What 200,000 yuan? Where did our family get so much money?"

"Yes... it was given to us by our daughter. Didn't I go to Kyoto two days ago? My daughter knew about your situation and said that she gave us money so that we could go on a relaxing trip. You forgot that I told you about this when I came back from Kyoto that day, but you didn't take it too seriously at the time." When Sun Li heard that it was the 200,000 yuan that caused the trouble, she quickly explained the whole story.

"My daughter gave so much?" Ying Weiquan was somewhat surprised when he heard the figure of two hundred thousand. After all, this amount of money was not a small amount.

"Okay, our daughter is a star, she can make a lot of money by shooting a commercial. Two hundred thousand is a lot for us, but it's not much for her. Besides, she is filial to us old people, so what are you afraid of if she gives more?" Sun Li was a little unhappy after hearing this. No parents in the world would complain that their children are not filial enough. The more a daughter gives, the more it proves that she cares about her, right?

Regardless of whether Ying Weiquan heard it clearly or not, Xia Xiang beside him understood it. It didn't look like an act, the truth was clear, it should be what the woman next to Feng Sizhe said, the money was really given to her parents to relax and travel, not the proceeds of corruption.

"Okay, I basically know what's going on. I will follow up on this matter, but I don't understand why they are targeting you like this? Is there something else going on?" In Xia Xiang's opinion, under normal circumstances, if the Discipline Inspection Commission wants to investigate a cadre, they will not go to the step of searching his home unless they have definite evidence. So he always feels that there seems to be another hidden agenda behind Tang Chexian's treatment of Ying Weiqun.

When it comes to this issue, the expression on Ying Weiqun's face becomes much richer, "Hey, Minister Xia, I'll tell you the truth, actually they are retaliating against me. This is what happened..." The reason why Ying Weiqun dared to tell Xia these things was mainly because he was the leader of the provincial party committee. In his eyes, this was a leader who could and had the ability to uphold justice for himself. Besides, now that things have come to this point, even if he wants to be laid off, it will be unlikely. If that's the case, then what is there for him to be afraid of? Just go for it.

Xia Xiang listened carefully to Ying Weiquan's introduction. When he heard that another deputy director of the county government office, Zhang Ying, and the county party secretary, Sun Pinxing, had bullied Ying Weiquan together, he became angry. It was logical to say these words. Under normal circumstances, such a big thing would not be done without the approval of the county party secretary.

After more than ten minutes, Ying Weiquan finished introducing the situation, and then looked at Xia Xiang with hopeful eyes. It was very simple, he wanted to hear the leader's evaluation of his own affairs.

Xia Xiang could certainly make a decision right away, but if he did, he would certainly offend some powerful people. He had also found out before coming here that Li Pinxing's current situation was mainly due to He Qiang's support, and He Qiang's current situation was closely related to the provincial party committee deputy secretary Xiang Tong. In other words, if he wanted to handle this matter impartially, he would first offend Li Pinxing, then He Qiang, and then he would inevitably offend Xiang Tong, and then this matter would become a big deal, so he had to think twice before acting.

"Okay, I already know the details of the matter. Let's put it this way. You have to bear with it for a while and give me some time. I will investigate it carefully. Once I have thoroughly understood the situation, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation. Is that okay with you?" Xia Xiang thought that this matter was of great importance. He could not make a decision casually. He had to think it over carefully, so he said this.

The provincial party committee's organization minister had already promised to redress their wrongdoings, so what else could Ying Weiquan say? He also knew that even though Minister Xia was in a high position, there were still many things to consider when actually doing something, and only by doing everything well could he clear his name. He nodded immediately, "Okay, I believe you, Minister Xia, and I'll wait for your news here."

"Okay." Xia Xiang stood up, shook hands with Ying Weiquan and Sun Li again, and then walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the office, He Qiang and Li Pinxing came to greet him. At this time, He Qiang said something that made Xia Xiang think more, "Minister Xia, the deputy secretary just called and expressed his condolences for your support for my work."

This short sentence reveals a lot of information. The most important meaning is that the deputy secretary actually knows what happened here. So what should be done next? Minister Xia also needs to have an idea. Is it really appropriate to offend the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee for an old friend?

"Oh, then please thank Deputy Secretary Xiang for me. Let's put it this way. I will return to the Provincial Party Committee after dinner. I will personally talk to Deputy Secretary Xiang if there is anything." Xia thought about it. Now is not the time to talk about the source of the money. Otherwise, these people may think of other ways. The most important thing now is to discuss it with Feng Sizhe first to see if Feng Sizhe should talk to Comrade Xiang. If the matter over there can be resolved first, then the matter in Tangche County will not be a big deal.

Hearing that Xia Xiang was about to go back, He Qiang's face immediately showed joy, "Okay, then we'll go eat first. But Minister Xia has finally come here, I don't think there's any need to go back so quickly. Can we just walk around and take a look at the grassroots level and treat it as research?"

"Well, there is also a lot of work to be done in the province. I think we'll just have to leave next time if there is a chance." In order not to put more pressure on He Qiang and others, Xia Xiang acted as if he had to leave.

He Qiang's face was even happier after hearing this, and Li Pinxing was also very happy. They were just discussing what to do outside. If Xia Xiang really wanted to intercede for Ying Weiquan, should they give him face? He Qiang even called his leader, Deputy Secretary Xiang Tong, to ask about this matter. Xiang Tong also had a good relationship with Xia Xiang. After listening to He Qiang's report, he said, "Just say hello to Minister Xia for me." He was also telling Xia Xiang that this was his territory, and if he wanted to make trouble, it would mean he was not giving him face.

Now it seems that Xia Xiang obviously understood this sentence and he decided to leave. Isn't this a happy scene for everyone?

Xia Xiang finished his meal in the entertainment, and then he drove away from Tangche County. This time He Qiang did not follow him. He stayed behind on the grounds that he had official business. After seeing off Xia Xiang's car, he hurriedly said to Li Pinxing beside him, "This matter needs to be handled quickly. Of course, Minister Xia should also give face. I think the Discipline Inspection Commission should impose a lighter punishment if possible. If not, just dismiss him from all public office."

"Okay." After listening to Secretary He's opinion, Li Pinxing certainly would not refute it.
