Thanks to my old friend Xia Tianxuan for voting for Guicai and giving him a gold medal. I am grateful!!!

Fortunately, before Cheng Jinbao came, he had already thought of making Dong Ke the scapegoat for this matter. Now that Feng Sizhe asked, he might as well answer truthfully. I believe that since a deputy-division-level cadre of the Discipline Inspection Commission has been punished for this matter, you, a deputy-division-level deputy county magistrate, will not say anything.

After coughing and clearing his throat, Cheng Jinbao slowly said, "Well, Comrade Feng Sizhe, you are right. This matter cannot end like this. It is a violation of the relevant discipline inspection commission regulations to lock you up here for three or four days without solid evidence. I have reported this matter to Secretary Zhu of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission. Secretary Zhu instructed to investigate the violation of the person in charge of this matter, Comrade Dong Ke, and suspend him from his post first. After the investigation, we will make a disciplinary decision. You see... I wonder if this will work?"

"Haha, it seems that Secretary Cheng has made sufficient preparations." Feng Sizhe laughed, but in his heart he was cursing Cheng Jinbao for his tactic of killing the donkey after it has done its work. However, he had to admit that this method was also clever. At least, this was the only way for the time being. Although Feng Sizhe had learned from Chen Hu that Dong Ke did this to him only because of the instructions of Secretary Cheng, he was only a deputy director. He was not strong enough to deal directly with a provincial party committee cadre at the department level. But it didn't matter. He believed that after Dong Ke received the due punishment, Cheng Jinbao would be punished next. It was just that he shouldn't say this out loud, so he could only pretend to be very happy now.

"Okay, since the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has reached such a conclusion, I will naturally not say anything more. Thank you for the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection's impartiality." Feng Sizhe smiled as he looked at Cheng Jinbao and spoke slowly, word by word.

Accompanied by He Shasha, Feng Sizhe changed into clean clothes and returned to the Yongyang Municipal Party Committee, where he met Secretary Cai and Mayor Chang respectively.

Secretary Cai saw Feng Sizhe appear in front of him safe and sound, and nodded with relief, "Very good, you're back. I knew you would be fine. How are you, you don't have any emotions, do you want to give you a few days off first?"

Seeing that Secretary Cai's attitude towards him was not bad, at least he did not vent his anger on him because Song Changhe was arrested, Feng Sizhe nodded in relief. It was also true that although Song Jingang was arrested, he was replaced by someone personally appointed by Cai Xingmin. This was only good for him and would only make him happier. Although few people knew that He Lao's granddaughter came to see Feng Sizhe, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, he was very clear about it. Knowing that the deputy county magistrate under his command was actually the future grandson-in-law of He Lao, a founding hero of the Republic, he certainly looked at him with higher regard.

"Thank you Secretary Cai for your concern. I'm fine. I've been resting in the small dark room for the past few days. I think I can return to work soon."

"Very good. I just heard that the work in Dahu County is a bit messed up. I heard that the county road repair project that you organized has been on strike. It would be better for you to go back now. Also, I heard that Pengfei Company has also stopped production. You should go back and do a good job of ideological work for them. Well, then, you should report to Mayor Chang and return to Dahu County as soon as possible." Cai Xingmin was very clear in his mind that as long as Feng Sizhe could go back, the two issues in Dahu County would be easily resolved.

After bidding farewell to Secretary Cai, Feng Sizhe came to Mayor Changning's office. Here he met not only Mayor Changning, but also Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission Geng Xiao, Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Feng Xijun, Standing Committee Deputy Mayor Sun Zhongjun, and Municipal Military District Political Commissar Jin Dake. They were all sitting on chairs and smiling at Feng Sizhe who had just entered the room.

Jin Da had just returned to Yongyang City from a meeting in the Central Plains Military Region. As soon as he came back, he heard that Feng Sizhe was being investigated by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. When he heard that Feng Sizhe was locked up without any evidence, he immediately became angry and went to Chang Ning's office, ready to send troops to rescue Feng Sizhe. But he was stopped by Chang Ning.

Under Chang Ning's earnest advice and precise analysis, Jin Dake suppressed his impulse and did nothing for the time being. This was because Chang Ning repeatedly emphasized that Feng Sizhe's case was supervised by the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, and even the Municipal Party Committee could not intervene, and the Municipal Military Region naturally could not cross the line, otherwise Jin Dake would make a big mistake. Besides, Feng Sizhe himself did not have any problems and was not afraid of being investigated. A real investigation would also be a good thing, which could prove Feng Sizhe's character, and it would be beneficial to the growth of young cadres.

In this case, Jin Dake could just sit and watch, but he still secretly made a phone call to Kyoto. When he learned that Admiral Zhao Mingyuan had not instructed him to do anything, he felt relieved. He thought that perhaps the higher-ups had their own considerations. Instead of this, he would just stay there honestly and let everything depend on the situation.

Standing in the Standing Committee's room, Feng Sizhe greeted several municipal party committee leaders enthusiastically. He knew in his heart that these people were people who cared about him, and it was in his current interest to maintain good relations with them, which would be a good thing for everyone.

"Okay, Sizhe, I won't say any more to you. We all know that there is some chaos in Dahu County right now, and you have to return to work immediately. We want to see you because we want to hear your opinion on one thing." Chang Ning went straight to the point. Knowing that time was tight, it was not appropriate to talk too much with Feng Sizhe, so he directly expressed his thoughts.

"Yes, Mayor Chang, I understand what the leaders mean. The deputy county chief of Dahu County, Cao Jinfa, who wrote the report letter, must be arrested. It is also time to close the net on Qi Hengsan, the head of the United Front Work Department who gave him advice. I have clear evidence of his crimes. Not only is there corruption and abuse of power, but he has also been a protective umbrella for evil forces. I believe that if these things are exposed, he will definitely be finished." Feng Sizhe stood up straight. This time he was determined to take down Qi Hengsan. If he didn't take this person down, he would always be distracted when doing things, which would be detrimental to the development of Dahu County. And he must do his best to clean up anything that could affect the development of Dahu County.

Feng Sizhe said this to show his counterattack against Dahu County. Of course, this was just a request made by Chang Ning and other members of the Municipal Party Committee. For Cheng Jinbao and Dong Ke, it would require higher-level operations. Even if he asked Chang Ning and others to do this, they might not be able to do it.

Feng Sizhe put forward his request. After Chang Ning and the others looked at each other for a few times, they all saw the word "agreement" in their eyes. Then the Standing Committee expressed their views on behalf of everyone, "Okay, your request is not excessive. I think everyone supports you. You should return to Dahu County right now and solve the dilemma there."

"Yes, please rest assured, leaders." Feng Sizhe answered readily. In exchange, he had to return to Dahu County as soon as possible to take over the work there and stabilize the people's hearts.

Walking out of Chang Ning's office, I saw He Shasha, He Wenbao and others at the gate of the compound.

With a smile on his face, Feng Sizhe walked up to He Shasha and said, "Okay, now that everything is settled, do you want to go to Dahu County with me or go back to your mother's place in the provincial capital?"

"You know where I want to go, but I promised my mother before I came here that after seeing that you are safe, I will go back to the provincial capital, and then return to Kyoto from there. You also know that my studies are still very tight now, and my grandfather has not been in good health, and my family needs me to take care of him." When saying these words, He Shasha's face showed a hint of reluctance. As a young man and woman, or a boyfriend and girlfriend, it was not easy to meet once, so of course she wanted to stay with Feng Sizhe for a while, but her grandfather and mother had both told her, and she was an obedient and filial child, so at this moment, even if she was unwilling, she had no choice.

Reaching out and gently stroking He Shasha's face, Feng Sizhe said, "Okay, there are still many things to do in the county, and I have to go back right now. I'll see you when I return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come back." He Shasha nodded, "Oh, by the way, I'm going to meet your savior in a while, she must be very beautiful."

When Feng Sizhe heard that He Shasha was going to meet Wang Ruihua, he was stunned. What did this little girl want to do? Forget it, if she wanted to meet him, she could go. Her legs were longer than his, and he couldn't stop her. "Okay, I'll go back and say hello to Grandpa He." Feng Sizhe nodded, turned around, walked to He Wenbao, and got into his car.

Dahu County is a popular restaurant in the center. Dong Ke has been trapped here for an entire afternoon. He dared not go out as he was afraid that the people here would do something extreme to him. He had already learned from Secretary Yang Chao that the major road construction project had been settled by the county party secretary and the county magistrate, and it would not be long before the people from the county public security bureau returned to the county, so that he could leave here under the protection of the police. The people in Dahu County were really tough, and he had already made up his mind that after the police protected him from leaving the restaurant, he would return to Yongyang City. He really did not want to come to Dahu County again.

Just when Dong Ke was waiting for the county police to send someone to protect him, Geng Xiao, secretary of the Yongyang Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, suddenly appeared outside the door of Fengwei Juzhong, accompanied by Feng Sizhe who had just been acquitted.

As soon as Feng Sizhe appeared at the door of Fengweiju, he was immediately surrounded by the Dahu people who were guarding there. "Come quickly, County Magistrate Feng is back, County Magistrate Feng is back."

Loud shouts were heard, echoing outside the hotel door, attracting the attention of He Zhuhua and others who were in the room.
