Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Speak up, do you really want to resign collectively?" Feng Sizhe saw that no one answered his question and he couldn't help but get angry.

"Governor, don't be angry, this is what happened." Finally, He Wenbao, the municipal party secretary, took the initiative to stand up, and while saying this, he looked at Luo Liping, the municipal party deputy secretary who was attending the meeting. "Deputy Secretary Luo, I think you should explain this matter."

When his name was suddenly called, Luo Liping was stunned. Then he slowly stood up, but still looked a little dazed.

"Luo Liping, you go." Seeing He Wenbao mention this person's name on the list, Feng Sizhe knew that the trick might be this one.

"Yes, Governor, it's like this. It's all because of my poor work. The team I led at the time didn't go all the way to the homes of the residents in the community, so there were about 300 households and nearly a thousand people hiding in their homes. As a result, when the earthquake occurred, these people had no time to react, so..."

Luo Liping didn't want to say anything else about what was going to happen next, because anyone with a little bit of common sense could guess what was going to happen.

"What?" Upon hearing the result, Feng Sizhe was stunned, and then he became furious. He pointed at Luo Liping and said angrily, "You...you are not only irresponsible, you are a murderer, you are the executioner. Nearly a thousand lives were lost because of you. You...do you still have the nerve to sit here now? You..."

"Governor, please calm down. Let me explain this matter to you." Zu Jie on the side was still very calm. He quickly stood up and grabbed Feng Sizhe, then pulled him towards the lounge next to the meeting room.

It is indeed against the rules for a mayor to criticize a governor in front of so many people, but because this person is Zu Jie, a person with a strong background, and the atmosphere in the meeting room is different from usual, no one cares about it.

After the angry Feng Sizhe was dragged to the next lounge, he waved his hand and let Zu Jie go. In fact, he was just cooperating with Zu Jie. Otherwise, how could this man's strength pull Feng Sizhe? "Tell me, what's going on? And does Z Yang know about this matter?"

"Alas." Zu Jie first sighed, then said, "Governor, the central government already knows about this matter."

"I know. Even if you know this, why are you still allowing such cadres to stay in Xichuan City?" Feng Sizhe was obviously confused when he heard this answer.

"Governor, please don't be anxious. Let me explain in detail." Zu Jie also looked indignant, and then he slowly said, "At that time, the community that Luo Liping was in charge of was discovered after a large number of PLA soldiers arrived and were clearing the rubble. But at that time, three days had passed since the earthquake, and some time had passed since the golden 72 hours you mentioned. It was also at that time that the bodies of these people were discovered. At that time, Duan Zhe was also in Xichuan. When he heard the report, he was furious and immediately demanded to find out the cause."

"With what Lieutenant Duan said, the truth was quickly revealed. It turned out that this happened because Luo Liping was not doing his job well. Lieutenant Duan was so angry that he wanted to take this cadre down, but after considering it again and again, he still held back. Since the earthquake, the TV reports have always been positive things. It is precisely because of these reports that the military and civilian cadres can unite and fight this disaster together. But if Luo Liping's affairs were suddenly reported at this time, it would surely cause the anger of the people. At that time, it would not only be a problem to deal with him, but it would also make other people think, are our cadres up to their duties? Is this disaster, which caused such a huge loss, related to some of our unqualified cadres?

"We can't gamble and let the people down, so we suppressed this matter. In order to prevent others from suspecting us, Comrade Luo Liping is still in charge of the original work. I believe that it won't take long, and when this matter doesn't attract so many people's attention, they will deal with him properly. So, Governor, you have to suppress your anger about this matter. Although I am as angry as you, those people have died after all. If there is any disturbance caused by this matter now, it will really be more than worth it."

Zu Jie said these words while shaking his head helplessly. It was obvious that he was personally very angry about Luo Liping's matter, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to hold back his anger.

After listening to Zu Jie's explanation, Feng Sizhe's eyes became much deeper. For the stability and unity of the country, sometimes it is necessary to make certain sacrifices. Maybe if he was the leader at the time, he would have done the same. But even though he said that, he couldn't help but get angry when he thought about how so many lives were lost because of Luo Liping's mistakes at work.

Feng Sizhe picked up the phone in a rage and dialed a number. "Deputy Secretary Wang, this is Feng Sizhe. I heard that you have already controlled Li Mi. Then I want to ask, does Comrade Luo Liping from Xichuan City have a certain relationship with him? Is this person also problematic?"

Although Feng Sizhe is the head of a province, Wang Zerong represents the National Commission for Discipline Inspection and even the Central Committee. In theory, there is no need to communicate with him about the investigation team's affairs.

But because Wang Zerong came to the capital this time to cooperate with Feng Sizhe's work, it is not impossible for him to interfere in the investigation team's affairs. For this reason, Wang Zerong thought for a while and said, "Governor Feng, from the information we have now, Luo Liping does have some problems. I heard from Li Mi that Comrade Mei Guolong once went to Xichuan privately, met Luo Liping, and gave him instructions in person. In addition, the riots in the square were also led by Luo Liping. We have certain evidence in our hands for these things, but considering that Xichuan has just suffered a major disaster, we have no intention of moving the cadres there immediately. Oh, by the way, Governor Feng, why are you asking these questions?"

Hearing that Wang Zerong did not intend to take action against Luo Liping because of special reasons in Xichuan City, Feng Sizhe sneered, "Okay, Deputy Secretary Wang, I know about this matter, and I have decided that I will personally send Comrade Luo Liping to your investigation team. How about it? Welcome?"

"What? You want to escort Comrade Luo Liping personally? Then... will it have an impact on Xichuan?" As the leader of the investigation team, Wang Zerong certainly hopes to capture Luo Liping as soon as possible, because some of this person's confessions may involve Mei Guolong.

When the investigation team first arrived in Ducheng Province, they wanted to establish their authority, and the target of this authority was Mei Guolong. However, if Luo Liping was not arrested, the testimony would inevitably be suspected of being insufficient. For this reason, Wang Zerong himself hoped to do so, but he was not sure whether doing so would have an impact on Xichuan.

After all, Luo Liping had also attended the commendation meeting for the Xichuan earthquake not long ago. At that time, all the cadres above the department level in Xichuan City attended, leaving only Luo Liping, and the people could only speculate, which led to adverse effects. So Luo Liping was also lucky enough to go from a sinner to an anti-earthquake warrior.

"It's okay. If anything happens to me here, don't worry. I will handle it." Feng Sizhe only needed to know Wang Zerong's attitude. As for taking Luo Liping away, other cadres might not be able to do so, but he could.

Now in Xichuan, no one has more influence and authority than Feng Sizhe. There is basically nothing he cannot do, and the local people are the most supportive of what he wants to do and are the least likely to think too much about it.

Feng Sizhe hung up the phone, then turned to Zu Jie and said, "Let's go back to the conference room. Also, arrange for your Xichuan Discipline Inspection Commission people to wait outside the door for my order."

This time, Feng Sizhe came to Xichuan to inspect, understand the situation and solve the problem. He really had no intention of taking action against any cadre, so he naturally did not bring anyone from the Discipline Inspection Commission. However, what Luo Liping did really made him too angry. If he did not severely punish such a person, his conscience would be condemned.

When Zu Jie heard Feng Sizhe making the call, he knew that Luo Liping was really going to be in trouble this time, so he immediately agreed and went to do it.

Afterwards, Feng Sizhe returned to the conference room alone. As soon as he came back, the entire conference room became eerily quiet, especially Luo Liping who was sitting there, who was extremely nervous.

As soon as the earthquake occurred, Luo Liping knew that something bad was going to happen. However, he did not carefully check the area he was in charge of. God knows whether there were other people who had not been evacuated. If there were, considering the scale of the earthquake, one can imagine that they were in great danger of death.

But as soon as the earthquake happened, everything was in chaos. Luo Liping still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He thought that maybe the people in his area had already run away out of fear. But who would have thought that when the PLA troops arrived and checked the ruins, they soon found nearly a thousand bodies there. When he learned about this, he was so scared that he sat on the ground and could not get up again.

Luo Liping knew very well that he had made a huge mistake. Based on this incident, he was afraid that his life would be ruined, and he might even be beheaded.

But later, things were not as bad as he thought, because Comrade Duan Jianghe took the impact of the matter into consideration and suppressed it. This gave Luo Liping a glimmer of hope, so he worked very hard and diligently in the following work, in order to make up for some of his previous mistakes.
