Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Feng Sizhe really didn't expect that Secretary Qiao would actually issue an order for a strict investigation. This was indeed a little beyond his expectations. Of course, his next move was not to make trouble with Secretary Qiao and Vice Governor Zhu. He didn't have the strength to do so now. He just wanted to restore the truth of the matter. Because he knew very well that since even the Provincial Public Security Bureau had sent people down, it would be impossible to find out the truth of the matter if he didn't play two important cards. Maybe he wouldn't even have a chance to speak, and the result of the matter would have been determined.

Just after finishing all this, the notice from Zhong Ping came down. In the name of the Municipal Party Committee, he requested the Dahu County Party Committee to convene a county party committee standing committee meeting. Now that people from the province are coming, as a county-level unit, first of all, they must unify their thoughts and understanding with the Municipal Party Committee. Otherwise, wouldn't they be laughed at?

Under Zhong Ping's arrangement, except for the secretary Fang Xianzhi who remained at the lakeside hotel, the other 12 members of the county committee arrived in turn. Because Fang Xianzhi was not there, the meeting was chaired by Zhong Ping, who sat at the head of the table.

Originally, Zhong Ping wanted Feng Sizhe to take this position. He knew something about the situation in Dahu County and knew that Feng Sizhe's position in the Dahu County Party Committee might be the most appropriate for him. But when he was about to discuss it with Feng Sizhe, he shook his head firmly, saying that given the current situation in Dahu County, it would be more appropriate for Zhong Ping, the representative sent by the Municipal Party Committee, to take this position.

Zhong Ping thought about it and realized that he was representing the municipal party committee this time, so he naturally had the power to do so. So he was not polite and sat in a position that only the county party committee secretary could sit.

Deputy Secretary Jia Bin was sitting to the lower left of Zhong Ping. When Zhong Ping unceremoniously sat in the first seat, he glanced upwards and then moved his body awkwardly. Perhaps in his opinion, even if Fang Xianzhi was not there, it would not be Zhong Ping's turn to sit in this position.

Zhong Ping did not think deeply about it. He always felt good about himself and felt very comfortable sitting in this position. He straightened his body, looked down at the people present and said, "Okay, I will declare the meeting open. On behalf of the municipal party committee leaders, I have something to tell you."

As Zhong Ping spoke, the speech of Secretary Qiao of the Provincial Party Committee was heard by everyone one by one. Then a series of arrangements that the Provincial Public Security Department would send a special person and the Municipal Party Committee would send Deputy Secretary Qiu Fugui as the head, Secretary Geng Xiao of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Director Feng Xijun of the Municipal Political and Legal Committee and Public Security Bureau as the assistants were conveyed to the minds of all the participants.

When they first heard the news, many people were shocked, because they really didn't expect that Fang Xianzhi's incident would become such a big deal, or that Ning Bentou's incident would become such a big deal, that even Secretary Qiao of the Provincial Party Committee issued instructions and sent a special task force.

After verbally announcing the preliminary resolution of the provincial and municipal party committees, Zhong Ping said to everyone, "Comrades, the matter is very clear. Fang Xianzhi's retaliation against Comrade Du Tianhe and the false accusation of Comrade Ning Bentou have attracted the attention of many leaders at the provincial and municipal levels. This time, your Dahu County has become famous again, but this time it is really not a good thing. As one of the leaders of Dahu County, can you all talk about your opinions next?"

When Zhong Ping said this, Feng Sizhe was shocked. At this moment, he realized from this sentence that if this continued, it would not only be Fang Xianzhi who would be in trouble, but all the leading cadres in Dahu County would also be "touched by it". Of course, the premise is that this is not a good thing.

If this happened when Feng Sizhe just came to Dahu, he could only think that he was unlucky, because he had no confidence to do anything he wanted to do. But now it is different. He must do something, otherwise he, the county magistrate, the second in command of Dahu County, will be accused of having an inescapable problem, which he cannot allow to happen. In the past, he only thought that after Fang Xianzhi was arrested, Du Tianhe might find a secretary who was not on good terms with him to suppress him and constrain him, but now it seems that it is only a matter of the future. The first thing that lies before him is that as a member of Dahu County, he did not discover the problem of Dahu County in time. This hat alone is afraid that it will be very unfavorable for his future.

There were many people who thought of this at the same time, but everyone thought that it was just a small responsibility, so if they shared it, there would be nothing left. Besides, even if they wanted to resist, they might not have enough strength. After all, Zhong Ping had just said that the city had reached a consensus on this matter, and in the province, there was also Vice Governor Zhu Lianhai who would speak for Du Tianhe. In addition, Secretary Qiao was paying attention to this matter, so who would find fault with it for no reason? I was afraid that by that time, if I hadn't done anything, I would become the second Fang Xianzhi and bear the blame.

Of course, we can’t say that everyone thinks this way. There is one person who doesn’t have such an idea, and that person is the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Lu Zhuo.

As the secretary of the county disciplinary committee, if there is a problem with the secretary of the county party committee, it is conceivable that he must have a problem, because many people will ask, why did the secretary of the disciplinary committee not find such a big thing? This is a clear manifestation of not fulfilling his duties.

Lu Zhuo is a man with great ambitions, how could he bear to see such a stain on his resume? For this reason, Zhong Ping's voice had just fallen for a while, and he had already reacted and started to fight back.

"Director Zhong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to put it this way." Lu Zhuo opened his mouth and spoke in a tone of questioning Zhong Ping.

"Hmm? Secretary Lu, do you have any different opinions? Why don't you just speak up? But let me start by saying that yesterday, on behalf of the Municipal Party Committee Investigation Team, I actually had a conversation with all the county party committee standing committee members present except you, and the result of the conversation was that basically everyone acquiesced to this result. Well, if you have any questions, feel free to speak up. Perhaps I can explain your words to the joint investigation team of the Provincial Party Committee and the Municipal Party Committee that will come to your Dahu County next."

Seeing that Lv Zhuo actually questioned the result he proposed, Zhong Ping was a little unhappy. Although he also knew that Lv Zhuo had some background, his cousin was one of the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, the Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, Lv Xianwen, but Lv Zhuo's public questioning still made him lose face, so he told Lv Zhuo the result of yesterday's conversation. The meaning was very clear, that is, to tell him that in fact, the opinions of the Standing Committee members had already been reached yesterday. If you are saying something you don't believe now, it is equivalent to going against all the members of the County Party Committee Standing Committee. Even your words may be passed on to the next provincial and municipal joint investigation team, and even more so, your words will be passed on to Secretary Qiao and Deputy Governor Zhu. If that's the case, you will definitely be remembered, and then you will probably be targeted by others, which is extremely detrimental to your personal development. For this reason, you must think carefully before speaking, and if things go wrong, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance.

Zhong Ping's somewhat sarcastic voice reached Lu Zhuo's ears and made him very angry. But these words did hit him. Hearing that the Standing Committee had already reached a conclusion, he had to think about it carefully. If everyone agreed with this, but he was the only one who put forward a different opinion, wouldn't it feel a bit too much? The first bird to stick its head out is not as simple as it sounds. When I came to Dahu County, my cousin once told me that when doing things in the local area, I must listen to everyone's opinions. If something is obviously not right, but everyone agrees, then he should not insist on saying it, otherwise he is likely to be isolated. If that happens, it will be difficult to work. I just made such a mistake. I just disliked Feng Sizhe and wanted to go against him, but what was the result? I almost lost my position as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Now that I have finally gained a firm foothold, I can't be reckless anymore.

But then again, if he gave up just like that, he would still feel a little unwilling. Because anyone who knew Fang Xianzhi would know that this was fake. With Fang Xianzhi's intelligence and courage, how could he do this? Could it be that he really watched everyone say white is black, and he did nothing about it? Thinking of this, Lu Zhuo raised his head and looked at Feng Sizhe who was sitting in the first seat on the right below. He knew very well that although Zhong Ping was now sitting in the first position of the county party secretary, the person who actually controlled the standing committee was still the young county magistrate Feng Sizhe.

After listening to Zhong Ping's words, Feng Sizhe thought about the seriousness of the matter. He was going to stand up and say a few words in person. He could not allow others to slander Dahu County in this way, because it was also slandering him. But he never thought that Lu Zhuo would raise objections before him. He was very happy. Seeing Lu Zhuo's eyes looking at him, he nodded, with a clear expression: "You are bold to speak, I will support your opinion."

Feng Sizhe's eyes met his, which suddenly gave Lu Zhuo confidence. If you still say you can't get things done with Feng Sizhe's support in Dahu County, then you are really too stupid. So, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell all the doubts he knew about Fang Xianzhi.
