Rebirth of the Rising Sun

At the same time, after the car left Tangche County Party Committee, Xia Xiang hurriedly called Feng Sizhe and told him what had happened here.

Feng Sizhe, who was reading documents in the office, received a call from Xia Xiang and learned about Yingtao's parents being wronged. "Old leader, are you saying that the people in Tangche County are deliberately persecuting Yingtao and her husband?"

"It should be like this, otherwise, Comrade Ying Weiquan and Comrade Sun Li would not have been laid off so early." After Xia Xiang thought about the matter carefully in his mind, he gave this answer.

"What a mess." Feng Sizhe got a little angry after hearing this certain tone. The county discipline inspection commission originally had the power to supervise the county party committee and county government leaders. This was also an organizational procedure implemented for democracy. The fear was that someone in a certain place would have too much power, which would lead to false and wrongful convictions. But now it seemed that in Tangche County, the discipline inspection commission department did not exercise the supervisory power it should have, and they even became one of the means for the county party secretary to crack down on dissidents.

"Sizhe, don't be too angry. This Li Pinxing has a complicated relationship. He is the direct descendant of He Qiang, the secretary of Jiahong Municipal Party Committee, and He Qiang has a close relationship with Comrade Xiang Tong. So I think this matter needs to be carefully considered before it can be handled." Xia Xiang made a timely reminder to tell Feng Sizhe that it was right to offend Deputy Secretary Xiang Tong for the sake of Ying Weiquan? Now there is a rumor in the central government that the governor of Harbin Province has not been in good health. The organization has long considered transferring this person to the Kyoto CPPCC for retirement, and it is very likely that Xiang Tong will take over the position of governor. If the action is too big at this time, will it affect his further work? In Harbin Province, Xiang Tong is a representative of local forces. If this person is really offended, a powerful enemy will be erected for no reason in the future. He is just a deputy section-level cadre. Whether it is appropriate to do so needs to be carefully considered.

Feng Sizhe was of course aware that Xia Xiang was doing this for his own good, but not to mention that Ying Weiquan was Yingtao's father, just the actions of the Tangche County Commission for Discipline Inspection had already made him a little angry, and he was the director of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection's Inspection Office. He not only had the power to investigate officials with problems, but also had the responsibility to inspect the Commission for Discipline Inspection. So whether it was public or private, he had to take care of this matter. "Okay, old leader, I understand what you mean, so how about you let me think about it?"

"Okay, make a decision as soon as possible. I think once I leave Tangche County, they might take action. If the matter is set in stone, it will be much more difficult for you to overturn the verdict, and the impact will be huge. You must think it over carefully." After all, Xia Xiang is older than Feng Sizhe and thinks things through more comprehensively.

"Okay, old leader, I'll hurry up." Feng Sizhe nodded and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Sizhe picked up a cigarette from the drawer and started smoking. Xiang Tong is one of the strong contenders for the governor of Harbin Province, and there is a great possibility that he will take this position. Now he has a very good relationship with the Xiang family, and has a good relationship with Xiang Tong's nephew Xiang Tianliang, who is currently the executive vice-chairman of Harbin City. It can be said that if Xiang Tong becomes the governor, it will be very beneficial to Feng Sizhe. In the future, everyone can help each other in many things and even become good allies. If he really investigates Ying Weiquan's matter, it may be disadvantageous to the Xiang family. If so, people will inevitably have some ideas. But if he doesn't investigate, what will Yingtao say, and how will he explain his conscience? For a while, he was in a dilemma.

Leaning back in his office chair, Feng Sizhe was thinking about what decision to make. He looked up inadvertently and saw a plaque behind him with the four words written for him by Comrade De Guoen - Know people and assign them to the right positions.

These four words not only include Feng Sizhe's way of employing people in his career, but also have another meaning, which is what Feng Sizhe should do when he encounters other problematic officials who have nothing to do with him. Don't underestimate any cadre. Their existence is to serve the people, even in a specific job. When any cadre undergoes a qualitative change and does not take serving the people as his own responsibility, it will cause losses to the people's spiritual civilization, material life and economy.

Today, Feng Sizhe is the director of the Inspection Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, in charge of the work supervision of cadres below the ministerial level across the country. In this sense, Harbin Province is also within his investigation and supervision. From a public perspective, it is reasonable for him to take certain actions within his power after hearing that there was a problem there.

Picking up the phone, Feng Sizhe called Chen Ping, the leader of the field team, "Comrade Chen Ping, please contact the Harbin Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection immediately and have Feng Lei send me to you to report the problems in Tangche County over the past two years."

Feng Sizhe's idea is that since Li Pinjiang had wronged Ying Weiquan so much, from a certain perspective, this should not be the first or second time. It is very likely that other comrades have also reported similar problems. If these materials are brought together and investigated jointly, perhaps the persuasiveness will be stronger.

While Feng Sizhe was considering not escalating the incident and was still thinking about handling the matter calmly, in Tangche County, Li Pinjiang had already launched a thundering action. He urged the County Discipline Inspection Commission and the County Public Security Bureau to make it clear that Ying Weiqun had embezzled 200,000 yuan. While reporting to the Jiahong Municipal Party Committee, he also announced the existence of Ying Weiqun's problems at the expanded meeting of the Tangche County Standing Committee and made a decisive decision, which was to dismiss Ying Weiqun from all public positions and expel him from the party.

Originally, Li Pinjiang wanted to give a lighter punishment because Comrade Xia Xiang came to Tangche County to specifically see Ying Weiqun. However, when he saw Xia Xiang just left without any action, he mistakenly believed that Minister Xia no longer wanted to take care of the matter. That was the case. In order to expand his influence in the entire Tangche County and also to make an example of others, he decided to start with Ying Weiqun. He believed that with this case as a comparison, no one would dare to challenge him, the county party secretary.

But what Li Pinjiang didn't know was that his actions had completely infuriated Feng Sizhe and put an end to his political life.

Feng Sizhe received a call from Comrade Xia Xiang in his office. "Sizhe, I'm sorry. The organization has already made a decision on Ying Weiping's matter."

"Oh, so fast?" Feng Sizhe was stunned when he heard that the case had been decided. He didn't expect it to be so fast. He thought that Xia Xiang went to Tangche County and put pressure on those people to let them release the person.

But Xia Xiang's next words really made Feng Sizhe angry. "Yes, they have already made an organizational decision. That is, Comrade Ying Weiquan's corruption is clear. Now the Tangche County Party Committee and the County Government have held an enlarged meeting and announced the expulsion of Comrade Ying Weiquan from the Party, dismissal from all public positions, and the case will be handed over to the judicial authorities for handling."

When Xia Xiang said these words, he was also a little reluctant. After all, he went to Tangche County and met Ying Weiqun. However, Tangche County still made such a decision, which inevitably made him feel somewhat embarrassed, and he was also a little annoyed.

Feng Sizhe was even more angry. When he heard that Tang Che County had made a decision so quickly, he thought it was irresponsible in itself. Now that he heard that they had made such a decision, he couldn't help but ask, "Old leader, have you told the comrades in Tang Che County that the 200,000 yuan was given to them by Comrade Ying Weiquan's daughter?"

"No." Xia Xiang answered truthfully. He didn't answer immediately at first because he couldn't be 100% sure whether this matter was true. People of his level would be responsible for what they said. He didn't want to make up a story and affect the work of the organization.

Feng Sizhe could understand Xia Xiang's behavior. Officials were like this. The higher their rank, the more cautious they had to be when speaking, because they had a greater responsibility. But he was clear about this matter. He also believed Yingtao. She would not lie to him about such a thing. Besides, he could easily find out whether it was true or not. But what he couldn't figure out was why the leaders of Tangche County wanted to resolve this matter so quickly. "Old leader, let me ask you, did the person involved in this matter admit it?"

In Feng Sizhe's opinion, unless Ying Weiquan admitted the fact that he had committed corruption, it would be difficult to conclude the matter so quickly.

"I really don't know about this, Sizhe, you also know that I am the head of the Organization Department, not the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission." Xia Xiang explained. Since Tang Chexian didn't even give him face, how could he explain the details of the matter?

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll ask someone to investigate." No matter what, Xia Xiang went to Tangche County because of this matter. Although the result was not as he expected, it was not his fault. Since this matter was related to the Discipline Inspection Commission, Feng Sizhe would exercise his power and investigate it.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Sizhe called his secretary Yin Fenglei and asked him to investigate two things. First, whether 200,000 yuan was transferred from Yingtao's personal account and on what date. Regarding this, Yingtao had already given the account to Feng Sizhe in order to prove her parents' innocence. Second, he asked him to contact the Harbin Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to investigate the true situation of Yingwei's case.

Yin Fenglei was very efficient in his work. It didn't take him too long to investigate the first thing. He went to the bank to check and found that Yingtao had indeed transferred 200,000 yuan from her account and opened a separate card for the money. This was done when Yingtao's mother Sun Li came to Beijing.

As for the second thing, he has contacted the secretary of Liu Renliang, the secretary of the Harbin Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and said that the inspection office is paying attention to the progress of this case. I believe that it won't be long before the truth comes out.

Hearing that Yingtao did not lie to him, Feng Sizhe breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yingtao was completely wronged, then Feng Sizhe had a reason to intervene in this matter.
