Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Looking at Jiang Daquan in front of him, Feng Sizhe asked in a deep voice, "I'm asking you again, have you done anything corrupt or illegal in Qiu County in these years? Is there anything you haven't told me clearly? If so, please tell me now, tell me everything. This is to save you, do you understand?"

Feng Sizhe did not regret accepting Jiang Daquan. It was because of his defection that the Fan family collapsed faster. Since he could accept him in the beginning, he could not abandon him now. This was Feng Sizhe's principle of life. He picked him up when he needed him and threw him away when he didn't need him. This principle was unreasonable. Even now, if someone wanted to touch Jiang Daquan, he would oppose it, because this person had helped him before, and he couldn't watch others bully him like this. Of course, there must be a premise, that is, this person did not lie to him and did not hide anything from him. On the contrary, if this person dared to play tricks on him at this time, then I'm sorry, he can only give up.

"Secretary Feng, you know that my only fault is that I once accepted some money from Baide Gold Mine and Aimin Gold Mine, and then promoted several cadres out of turn. But since I decided to cut off all ties with the Fan family, I handed over all the money I received to the County Discipline Inspection Commission. Secretary Lu has a record of this. As for those cadres I promoted, they were later demoted to different levels under your instructions. These matters have been settled. I really don't know why Deputy Secretary Xu still wants to dig up these old accounts." Jiang Daquan said with a look of injustice.

"Okay, if you only have these two faults and have corrected them, then I can speak for you. But remember, if you are hiding something from me and it is discovered later, I can't save you." Seeing that Jiang Daquan's words were sincere and did not seem to be a lie, Feng Sizhe also made a promise to the other party.

"Don't worry, Secretary Feng, everything I said is true, not a single word is false." Jiang Daquan said again in an affirmative tone.

"Okay, then you can go back. Don't worry, what you did is what you did, and you can't change it. If it wasn't you who did it, others can't accuse you wrongly." Feng Sizhe nodded towards Jiang Daquan, pretending to see him off, which was also a promise to the other party.

Jiang Daquan got the answer he wanted from Feng Sizhe, and he naturally became much more energetic. When he left, he was not as flustered as when he came, and his face was full of excitement.

Watching Jiang Daquan leave, Feng Sizhe picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number, saying, "Guangming, go see if Secretary Lu is in the office. If he is, invite him over." After thinking it over, Feng Sizhe still thought that it would be better to let Lu Zhuo and Xu Tong fight out the matter concerning Jiang Daquan. It would not be possible for him to talk to Xu Tong directly about such a small matter.

Xu Tong was organizing the records of the two men's conversations with others in his office.

During these two days, he did not rest like Feng Sizhe, but kept talking to people, while understanding Qiu County, he was also looking for various breakthroughs. He wanted to establish his own power in Qiu County in a short period of time to prove to Deputy Secretary Wang Xianyi that it was right for him to transfer him to Qiu County and that he was a talent that could be cultivated.

It can be said that the efforts of the past two days were not in vain. At least he learned a lot about Jiang Daquan, and found a suitable target for his first fire in Qiu County. He was naturally Jiang Daquan, who was once a member of the Fan faction and now a member of the Feng faction.

As for Jiang Daquan, he learned a lot through conversations with many former cadres of Fan's faction. He knew that this person had done many disciplinary violations, such as accepting bribes from the gold mine, promoting some cadres exceptionally according to the wishes of Fan Yuegang and Lu Keyuan, etc. He believed that with all these, any one of them could be used to deal with Jiang Daquan. And if he, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of personnel, could first deal with the county organization minister, then anyone who wanted to compete with him in the future would have to consider the issue of strength.

He was very excited because he thought that after taking down Jiang Daquan, the municipal party committee might send someone else to take up this position. With Wang Xianyi's ability, it was very likely that the person transferred later would be his ally. Then he would have the opportunity to show his skills in Qiu County.

Looking at the materials on the table, he sneered, "Jiang Daquan, Jiang Daquan, I want to cooperate with you because I think highly of you, but you are so disrespectful, so it's no wonder that I have to deal with you first. Haha, you are just the first one, and there will be a second one. Then sooner or later, Qiu County will be mine, hahahaha."

After finishing the materials, Xu Tong stood up from his office chair, walked out the door and ran straight to the office of Lv Zhuo, the secretary of the county discipline inspection commission. He knew this person, and he just wanted to do something. It would undoubtedly be a great achievement to bring down a member of the county party committee. With these evidences, he believed that Lv Zhuo would stand on his side.

After informing the secretary, Xu Tong walked into Lu Zhuo's office. Lu Zhuo, who was working with his head down, saw him coming in, and said without even raising his head, "Secretary Xu, what's up? Let's talk after I finish the work at hand."

Xu Tong came this time to seek cooperation with Lu Zhuo. He thought that by bringing down Jiang Daquan, Lu Zhuo could achieve results and he could establish his prestige, which would be good for both of them. He really couldn't think of any chance of not cooperating, so he was not in a hurry. He just sat on the sofa for meetings, waiting for Lu Zhuo to finish the work at hand.

But I don't know if it was because Lu Zhuo was too busy with work, or if he really forgot about Xu Tong, anyway, he spent nearly an hour doing the work. How could Xu Tong be happy to be left out for dozens of minutes? Seeing Lu Zhuo taking another document and opening it to review it, he finally couldn't help but say, "Secretary Lu, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. When can you finish the work at hand? I have something important to tell you."

Although everyone is at the same level, according to the county party committee ranking, Xu Tong is actually a few places ahead of Lu Zhuo. Now, how can Xu Tong bear being squeezed out by people who are ranked lower than him?

Lu Zhuo, who usually has a bad temper, was surprisingly different this time. He did not lose his temper, but just raised his head, looked at Xu Tong and said, "Secretary Xu, don't be anxious. Don't you see that I have a lot of work to do? If you really have something to say, why not just say it directly? I can listen to you while I write."

Lü Zhuo's words completely angered Xu Tong. As the deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of personnel, why should he bow to a county discipline inspection committee secretary? Xu Tong stood up from his seat suddenly, pointed his finger at Lü Zhuo fiercely, and wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end. He was still not confused, and still knew his mission. This time he had to convince Lü Zhuo, otherwise he couldn't move Jiang Daquan legitimately and couldn't achieve his goal.

"Well, since Secretary Lu has so much work to do, I will just talk and you just listen and write." After thinking it over, Xu Tong suppressed the anger in his heart. After all, his next work could not be separated from Lu Zhuo. At this moment, he could only swallow his anger.

After saying this, Xu Tong looked at Lu Zhuo who still had no reaction. He could only secretly feel ashamed in his heart and then continued, "The situation is like this. After my detailed investigation over the past two days, I found that Comrade Jiang Daquan, as the head of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, has a big problem with the personnel issues in the county. He has two main problems. One is accepting money, and the other is ignoring organizational procedures. There are many people who have been promoted by him due to these two reasons. Among them, everyone knows that..."

Xu Tong sat there and talked for a long time, and then finally said, "I really don't understand why our Qiu County Party Committee ignored the cadres with obvious problems like this, and why our Qiu County Discipline Inspection Commission also turned a blind eye to it. This is really incomprehensible to me."

"Okay." It was not until Xu Tong said this that Lu Zhuo raised his head. "What do you mean by the county committee ignoring it? What do you mean by the county discipline inspection commission treating it as if it had not seen it? I would like to ask you, Deputy Secretary Xu, do you have any basis for what you said? Do you know that as a county committee leader, you are actually making a mistake by making such a rash statement?"

"Made a mistake? What mistake did I make? My words were mine. You're not going to bring up the old Weng trick and put it on me, are you?" Xu Tong immediately quit when he heard Lu Zhuo reminding him that he was making a mistake. In his opinion, this kind of thing that everyone knew about but no one investigated it was obviously because someone was shielding Jiang Daquan, and the person shielding him was undoubtedly the county party secretary Feng Sizhe. As the deputy secretary of the county party committee in charge of personnel, if he wanted to grab the power of personnel, he had to control the organization department first. From these two points of view, Jiang Daquan would become a stumbling block for him. Under this circumstance, it would undoubtedly be the right thing for him to take action against Jiang Daquan. So what crime was there?

Now Lu Zhuo said that he was making mistakes, but he just wanted to help Feng Sizhe cover up some ugly things.

"Comrade Xu, please pay attention to your words and actions again." Hearing that Xu obviously misunderstood the meaning of his words, Lu Zhuo stood up from the table, "Comrade Xu, please don't misunderstand me. I am saying this to remind you that as a member of the county party committee leadership, you must pay attention to the wording of your words and take the initiative to maintain our collective image instead of saying whatever you want. For example, you can't make comments casually about Comrade Jiang Daquan's matter. Otherwise, what will other comrades think?"
