Rebirth of the Rising Sun

So at this moment, the several members of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee who had just condemned Feng Sizhe in unison remained silent, so Liu Wenhua's efforts to take the lead were in vain.

Seeing that he had started the fire but did not get any cooperation from his colleagues, Liu Wenhua felt a little confused. He knew that he was now in a passive position and even isolated.

"Mayor Liu Wenhua, you don't have to use this as a pretext to draw hatred from everyone. Besides, the reason why I violated the organizational principles and reported the problem of Haibei City this time was precisely because I cared about the face of the leaders of Haibei City. You know, the matter I reported to the Provincial Party Committee was actually an issue that we had discussed at the previous meeting of the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee, which was the issue of the 100 million yuan development zone land lease payment from the municipal government. Last time, the comrades did not pursue the responsibility of the municipal government, which was already giving face to you, the head of the municipal government. Do you have to wait for your colleagues to accuse you or even take you to court before you stop?"

Feng Sizhe was right. The reason why he went directly to the provincial party committee to report this time was because the leaders of Haibei City were too concerned about their reputation and did not want to really fall out with Liu Wenhua. This forced Feng Sizhe to make up his mind to hand the matter over to the provincial party committee for resolution. Feng Sizhe's approach did reduce some responsibilities for some leaders of Haibei City, at least allowing them to avoid the embarrassment of direct conflicts with their colleagues.

"Take me to court? Haha, why? Let me tell you, Comrade Feng Sizhe, this is the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, you must be responsible for every word you say. Also, the 100 million yuan has been transferred to the account of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and you should stop talking about this matter. It has passed." Liu Wenhua was very dissatisfied when he saw Feng Sizhe always talking about the 100 million yuan. To be honest, before the money was returned, he was still a little scared, fearing that someone would make a fuss about this and would do something bad to him. But now, he has already paid back the money, is he still afraid of what others will say?

"What? Do you think that if you pay back the money, this incident will be as if nothing happened? Then how do you calculate the interest on the 100 million yuan that disappeared from the city's financial account for nearly a year? Who will be held responsible for the passiveness caused to the Municipal Finance Bureau? Let me tell you, Mayor Liu Wenhua, your problem is no longer as simple as using your power to embezzle the 100 million yuan. You are suspected of taking bribes, abusing your power to embezzle, illegally misappropriating public property, nepotism, arranging your relatives to important jobs, and even setting up a small faction in the municipal government. These actions have made you lose the basic principles of being a party member. You are no longer worthy of being a true party member and cadre of the Republic." Feng Sizhe faced Liu Wenhua, his voice getting louder and louder, and his emotions becoming more and more agitated.

"You...what gives you the right to say that? Show me the evidence." Liu Wenhua was really mad at Feng Sizhe at this moment. He didn't expect Feng Sizhe to dare to point out his faults in public, and he didn't expect Feng Sizhe to directly question his identity as the mayor of a city. All these made him unable to remain calm.

"Okay, you want evidence, then I will give it to you one by one." Feng Sizhe has been paying attention to Liu Wenhua's actions. It can be said that the things related to his violations have accumulated for more than a day.

"Evidence 1: The development zone owed wages for half a year. In fact, the land rent was paid by Comrade Liu Wenhua and Comrade Song Dexiang, who borrowed the money from the Provincial Japanese Business Council. This matter had already been started in June 1997, but with the sudden arrival of the Asian storm, you panicked. Afterwards, when the Provincial Japanese Business Council could not repay the money, you suppressed the matter in the name of using the land rent money from the development zone to subsidize the city's agricultural tax. This is the actual evidence of your abuse of power to falsify. At the same time, you also committed the fact of borrowing state-owned funds to arbitrage a large amount of interest, which is also the crime of abusing power to embezzle."

"Evidence 2: The State Council approved the Haitian Economic Development Zone to become the first high-tech development zone in a coastal city, and therefore issued a construction fund to the development zone. The State Council's written regulations stipulate that this fund is for a specific purpose, so after the money arrived at the provincial government, the Provincial Finance Department did not deduct a cent. However, when it arrived at the Municipal Finance Bureau, you did forcibly withhold a quarter of it to subsidize the deficit caused by the 100 million yuan in funds to the municipal finances. Based on this, you have to be charged with the crime of obstructing the development of the development zone and the crime of privately intercepting state property."

"Evidence three, you instigated Tian Xiong Daguang and Xu Liang from Hongri Real Estate to come to the development zone to ask for the return of their land in the development zone. It was agreed that the money would be paid by the municipal government, but you knew this reality and still let them come. This is you hindering the development of the development zone. This is another major crime of yours. You set up artificial obstacles for the development zone. You only care about your own interests and have no overall view."

"Evidence 4: You arranged for your cousin Liu Neng to be the director of Haibei City's Beijing Office, and your brother-in-law Wang Fenglin to be the director of the Municipal Bureau of Statistics. This is nepotism. Regardless of whether they have such ability or not, you use them because they are your relatives. During Liu Neng's tenure as the director of the Beijing Office, every time he asked the central government for money for Haibei City, he would withhold a portion of it for his own use, and then take out a portion of it to give you as a gift. Over the past few years, he has bribed you with a total of more than three million yuan. I have clear evidence of this. If you need it, I also have the director of the State Council's Planning Department to come out and testify. This is your fourth charge: nepotism and corruption and bribery."

"Evidence five: In order to make up for the 100 million, you publicly bribed Comrade Ding Qiang, the head of the Southwest Branch of Shenzhou Tangsheng Bank, with 30 million. Although the money did not arrive in the end due to various reasons, there is indeed a recording as evidence. You cannot deny it. This is your fifth crime, the crime of open bribery."

"Evidence six, after you became the mayor, you set up a new faction in the Haibei Municipal Government, with your executive vice mayor Song Dexiang and the municipal government secretary general Di Quan as your assistants, and the former director of the Municipal Finance Bureau Liu Changsong, the director of the Statistics Bureau Wang Fenglin, and the director of the Land Bureau Wu Ziwen as your subordinates. You have formed a powerful force. In short, you are the only one who is respected in the municipal government. Those who obey you can be promoted and given money, while those who disobey you will stay where they are or even be expelled from the cadre team. This is your sixth crime, that is, you established a party within the party, which seriously violated the principle that party members should not form factions or engage in self-interest."

"Evidence seven: after you became the head of the development zone, you actually openly sold the valuable land in the development zone to Hongri Real Estate at a very cheap price. Fortunately, your comrades found out and stopped you in time. This is considered an unsuccessful attempt. It can be considered as preventing you from selling state-owned funds at a low price, and saving the country a certain amount of economic losses."

"Not counting the seventh point, based on the above six points, Comrade Liu Wenhua, it is still worth pondering whether you can continue to be the mayor. At this moment, instead of reflecting on yourself, you are still thinking about suppressing your colleagues who are working hard. Let me ask you, what are your intentions and what are you thinking?" Feng Sizhe asked Liu Wenhua loudly, sternly, and in an orderly and well-reasoned voice.

Liu Wenhua was stunned at this moment. He had not expected that in less than half a year, Feng Sizhe had obtained so much evidence against him. Listening to Feng Sizhe saying that his position as mayor might be lost, thinking that if that happened, he would lose everything, he could not help but feel a tightness in his chest, and then his eyes went dark, and he slid down from the chair. In just a moment, he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Oh, Mayor Liu fainted." Wang Changhui, who was sitting next to Liu Wenhua, shouted.

"Hurry, help Liu Wenhua go to the hospital." The Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Mi Xueyong reacted faster and directly called him Liu Wenhua instead of Mayor Liu. This showed that in his eyes, Liu Wenhua was obviously no longer the mayor at this moment.

The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee had to stop the meeting at this point. Originally, everyone wanted to attack Feng Sizhe at the invitation of Liu Wenhua, but because of Feng Sizhe's perfect preparation, things turned around and Feng Sizhe ended up debating with the group of scholars alone, leaving everyone speechless. Liu Wenhua even fainted. It can be said that Feng Sizhe's eloquence is comparable to that of Zhuge Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period.

A group of people hurriedly carried Liu Wenhua out of the meeting room, and then some municipal party committee staff came over and put Liu Wenhua in a car and drove directly to the municipal hospital.

The municipal party secretary Xiang Kang looked at the somewhat chaotic scene, waved to Feng Sizhe and said, "Comrade Sizhe, please come to my office later." After that, he left with his hands behind his back.

After Xiang Kangyi left, Wei Zuosheng, the full-time deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, walked up to Feng Sizhe, took a look at Feng Sizhe, and patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, good job, you have a bright future." After that, he laughed and left.

After that, everyone who passed by Feng Sizhe either encouraged him or walked away with their heads down. In short, no one wanted to say anything bad to him. The last person to leave him was Xu Qingdong, secretary of Chenghai District. He looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he said to Feng Sizhe in a pleading tone, "Mayor Feng, please give me another chance. I know those developers listen to you. With just one word from you, they won't complain to the central government anymore. I beg you to just say hello to them. As long as you are willing to do this, just tell them what you need, and I will do everything I can for you."

Looking at Xu Qingdong's pitiful appearance, Feng Sizhe suddenly felt a little bit of pity in his heart. He was also a person with feelings, not cold-blooded, and he also had his inner world. "Well, let's talk about this later. Secretary Xiang wants to talk to me now."
