Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"This meeting was proposed by County Magistrate Feng. The specific reason was that Comrade He Wenbao, deputy director of the county government office who worked with County Magistrate Feng, was suddenly attacked on his way home at night. With the help of passers-by, the two attackers were caught on the spot. Then comrades from the county public security bureau arrived and took the two back. Not long after, the public security bureau released the people on the grounds that the evidence was unclear. This morning, Comrade Feng Sizhe got the news and asked Director Luo Jinlong of the Public Security Bureau. Director Luo reported that it was Secretary Yang Chao of the Political and Legal Committee who wanted to release the people. At the same time, he showed Secretary Yang's approval note requesting the release of the people. In Comrade Feng Sizhe's opinion, such a thing was indeed not in compliance with the regulations. For this reason, he found me and County Magistrate Fang, and later decided to convene this standing committee after discussion. Okay, please speak now."

After Sun Shicun gave a brief account of the incident, he announced that everyone could speak freely, but he was very smart and did not express any opinion on the matter. The meaning of this is self-evident.

"Wow!" The Standing Committee members sitting in the audience began to whisper to each other. Although everyone had already known the general situation half an hour ago, it felt different when Secretary Sun told it to everyone, because no one expected that the Standing Committee would really go to such lengths for such a small matter. Moreover, the most important thing was that He Wenbao was not beaten in the end, which meant that it was not an established fact. If there was no fact, it would be like punishing a thief by law before he stole anything. Isn't it a bit against the rules?

Everyone looked at Feng Sizhe. They couldn't understand why the young county chief Feng was still holding on to this matter when it hadn't become a fact? Didn't he know that doing so would be very disadvantageous to him? It might even cause the local faction to be disgusted with him, which would make it difficult for him to carry out his future work.

When everyone was thinking that Feng Sizhe was too impulsive this time and had little chance of winning, Qi Hengsan, who had been sitting there watching the joke, spoke up, "Oh, do you think everyone has a lot of free time? We have to hold a county committee meeting for such an unnecessary matter? I really don't know what people are thinking?"

When Qi Hengsan said this, he was gloating over the misfortune of others. His purpose was to mock Feng Sizhe, saying that he dared to bring up this matter that did not happen at all at the Standing Committee meeting. Did he really think that everyone would play with him? Did he really think that Dahu County was under the control of a small deputy county chief like you? You must be kidding. Not to mention that He Wenbao was not beaten, even if he was beaten, with the strength of the local faction, Yang Chao would be safe.

Qi Hengsan was just the pioneer who spoke first, and after him, Pi Taisheng also spoke.

"Well, what County Magistrate Qi said makes sense. The county standing committee is a place to discuss major issues. Why is it being convened today for a trivial matter? Besides, isn't it a bit too arbitrary to conclude that someone is going to harm He Wenbao based on a mere guess? As far as I know, there seems to be no fight at all. If there is no fight, then why do you say that the two people are going to attack He Wenbao? Is this just County Magistrate Feng's guess? I think it needs to be investigated."

Pi Taisheng didn't give Feng Sizhe face when he spoke, and he even spoke in a questioning tone. After listening to Secretary Pi's words, everyone looked at Feng Sizhe, but County Magistrate Xiao Feng, who was being stared at by everyone, seemed to have not heard the words, and sat there calmly and indifferently.

Seeing Feng Sizhe's excellent Qi-cultivation skills, Yang Chao, secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, could not sit still. He stood up unexpectedly, and pointed his finger at Feng Sizhe's nose without grace, "Little County Magistrate Feng, what do you mean? He Wenbao was not beaten at all, but you are holding on to this matter tightly. Are you trying to pick a fight with me? Also, I wrote a note asking the Public Security Bureau to release the man, because those two people did not beat anyone at all, but were beaten by others for no reason. Do you think I should arrest the beaten people by confusing right and wrong? Humph, if Director Luo Jinlong had not refused to release the man, why would I have written the note? For this reason, I hereby suggest that Comrade Luo Jinlong be suspended from all his duties. He arrested people without evidence, and even sought opportunities to cause trouble after receiving the order to release the man. This kind of person is no longer qualified to be the Public Security Bureau Chief of Dahu County."

No one expected that the meeting, which was originally intended for Feng Sizhe to question Yang Chao, would have the opposite meaning as soon as it started. It became a meeting where everyone questioned Feng Sizhe, and it even looked like Luo Jinlong wanted to be a scapegoat. If this was the outcome, no one in Dahu County would dare to go against the local faction in the future, and no one would listen to the orders of Feng Sizhe and others in the future.

It can be said that as soon as Yang Chao said this, the direction of the Standing Committee was completely changed. Many people originally wanted to watch the excitement, but at this moment everyone knew that the outcome of this matter already concerned themselves, and everyone's face became much more serious.

We have to be serious. For those who are not from the Dahu local faction, if Feng Sizhe loses, then they have also lost, and future work will become more difficult.

"You're talking nonsense." Just when everyone was sighing at Yang Chao's words and worried about Feng Sizhe, another voice suddenly sounded, and the voice was directed directly at Secretary Yang Chao, who seemed to be speaking righteously on the surface.
