Volume 6: Misty Rain Chapter 381: Means
Less than a week before the election of Chengchuan County Magistrates, there were more rumors about Lao He in Chengchuan County. When he first heard Secretary Xiao Wang mention it, Lao He just laughed it off and didn't care. When those rumors spread from others to Lao He's wife's ears and then spoke them from Lao He's wife's mouth, Lao He felt it was a bit unusual.
"When I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables today, I heard people talk about you..." After turning off the light, Lao He's wife talked about today's incident on the bed.
"What did you say?" Lao He responded casually and turned around, "My shoulders are a little tight these two days. Please help me with it, right...yes...come a little more and use some strength on your hands..."
"It's not a good thing..." Lao He's wife said while rubbing Lao He's shoulders, with a slight irritation in her tone.
"I told you not to be fooled by these things. From the day I took the position of county magistrate, when has anyone been discussed? This mouth grows on others and can you still control these things?"
"What do you mean? I went to the meat stall to buy meat. Even the meat seller was talking to people, saying that someone saw you and several big bosses in the provincial capital were having dinner in Linfeng Pavilion. A meal cost tens of thousands of yuan. If the people in Chengchuan were tired of eating, they went to the Yuehai Restaurant in the provincial capital, and could drink more than tens of thousands of yuan in a bottle of wine..."
Lao He turned around, "That's all?"
"You don't think it's enough? It's a lot of unpleasant words. We say that our children are studying abroad, living in villas, driving a good car, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan a year. The boss of a real estate company got it. We didn't pay a penny for all the expenses..." Lao He's wife said, and she became a little angry and slapped Lao He's back with hatred. "Xiaoyu studied hard, so we paid him to send him abroad to go abroad to tell them what they turned out to be like? Xiaoyu spent more than 100,000 yuan a year abroad, which penny is not clean. I have earned it back with my business openly? Where have I used other people's penny? I was angry when I heard this. You have been using this broken county magistrate for a few years, and even the cars are all at home. I haven't gotten any benefits, but it makes the whole family feel like you..."
Old He frowned and said nothing...
The next day, when Lao He came to work, when he talked about this, Secretary Xiao Wang suggested to Lao He to call the police and hand it over to Director Liu of the County Public Security Bureau, and asked Director Liu to send someone to investigate the source of these rumors, punish those who should be punished, and arrest those who should be arrested, but Lao He refused and waved his hand, "The case has not been solved yet, and the person who should be arrested has not been arrested. Lao Liu's pressure on his shoulders is also quite heavy. Don't bother him about this matter first, and we will talk about it when the main business is finished..."
Secretary Xiao Wang fell on the side and was anxious, "I said to the county magistrate, these rumors are just spreading rumors, they are for you. The county will be elected in a few days. At this time, such a thing is reported. I think someone must have done this deliberately. He just wants to play tricks during the county elections. He must be careful..."
"Okay, I have a sense of responsibility here!" Old He frowned, and finally hung up a phone call to Director Liu after repeated reminders from Secretary Xiao Wang. He said a few words lightly on the phone...
Old He had just hung up the phone and was about to go out when the phone rings on his desk rang. Old He, who had walked to the door, turned back and picked up the phone, "Hey, I'm He Zhijun!"
"Old He, it's me!"
"Ah, it's Secretary Luo, what's the matter with me!" The voice on the phone was Secretary Luo of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and Political and Legal Affairs Committee. Hearing this voice, Lao He felt a little sad, and his instinctive feeling was a little bad.
"Old He...this...this is the case, this...whether you have something to do now?"
Secretary Luo was hesitant on the phone, and Lao He was quite happy. "The school building of a middle school in the county has been rebuilt these days while the students were on holiday. Today, it was completed. There was a completion ceremony. I was about to attend. I was about to go out, but you called..."
"Oh, that's it... You can ask someone else to go on your behalf in the afternoon's school completion ceremony first, so don't go!"
"What's the matter, Secretary Luo!"
"...I still know you, Lao He. It was not easy to be a county magistrate in a poor place in Chengchuan. Now Chengchuan has a better form and is even less easy, and there will be more problems... However, I hope you can understand some things and don't make any trouble..."
"What the hell is it? Secretary Luo, I, Lao He, are just a straight intestine, don't mess around with me..."
I was silent on the other side of the phone, "...A few comrades will come to the city in the afternoon. I want to talk to you and find out the situation?"
"Okay, what do comrades who came down want to know about it?"
"...This... Recently, the Municipal Procuratorate, the Discipline Inspection Commission and the Anti-Corruption Bureau have received a lot of complaints from the masses, and the province has also received a lot of them. They have already been called and handed over to the city for processing. There are almost a box of them on the tables on my side. Many of the problems reflected in these letters are related to you..."
Old He felt a little stuttered, his voice was rising twice, "All of them sued me?"
The phone was very tactful, "It reflects many problems in Chengchuan..."
I didn't know what it felt, but Lao He's voice was a little astringent, "Secretary Luo, I understand when will the comrades in the city come down? I'll wait for them in the office."
"Old He, don't have any burden on this matter. This time, the comrades in the city came to understand the situation. This is a work need and a manifestation of responsibility for you. If you, Lao He, will you give you a clean heart. You have to understand this. The working group that the central government has been in the city. Many things have to be more cautious. Of course, the organization does not want to see anything happening to Chengchuan..."
"Secretary Luo, I understand. I also believe that the organization will give me a fair evaluation. I will cooperate with the work of comrades from the city well. Please rest assured Secretary Luo!"
"I'll be relieved if you think this way..."
After hanging up the phone, Lao He threw the briefcase on the table with a wry smile and sat on the chair. He felt as if half of his strength had been pulled away. He sat in the chair for a few minutes. Secretary Xiao Wang came in, "County Magistrate, the car is ready, Director Yan of the Education Bureau and the others have passed, and Principal Lin from the school just called again."
"You will attend the afternoon event for me and explain to Principal Lin and the others that someone in the city wants to come down in the afternoon, but I can't get out of here!"
Looking at Lao He's face, Secretary Xiao Wang asked in surprise, "Who is going to come down?"
Lao He smiled bitterly, "I just talked to Secretary Luo just now. Who do you think you want to come down?"
Xiao Wang's face changed immediately...
I don’t know where the news was leaked. Almost the comrades in the city just arrived in Chengchuan. The rumors about Lao He being investigated by the city for the ** issue have spread from the county government. In just one day, it spread throughout the small Chengchuan County.
The rumors came as violent as a rainstorm, which surprised Lao He. The rumors began to spread from somewhere. In an instant, it was rumored everywhere in Chengchuan. Some real estate company gave Lao He hundreds of thousands of dollars, Lao He's family can travel abroad for free every year, bought a luxury villa in the provincial capital, and Lao He's wife is a secret shareholder of the company. These short-lived rumors, in addition to putting Lao He in the middle as a target, also vaguely brought Yilong Real Estate, which annoyed Lao He.
The comrades who came from the city couldn't leave for a while. Except for Lao He, many people in Chengchuan County were called to talk to find out the situation. Lao He was calm and calm. He still went to work and got off work normally these two days. Except for letting the women at home complain a few times, life has not changed. However, the helplessness in Lao He could not explain to anyone - in the county government, many colleagues and staff who respected him very much on weekdays, although they still maintained that smiling face when they saw him in the past two days, there were more things that had not been before in their eyes.
Only then did Lao He know what it means to be awesome for three people to become tigers.
The worst thing finally happened three days before the Chengchuan County Mayor's election. On the wall downstairs of the county guesthouse where the comrades who came from the city lived, there were many slogans all over the place - and it hit the corrupt official He Zhijun!
The county magistrate of a poor county has a million dollars?
He Zhi colluded with officials and businessmen, and the people were not tolerated by nature!
I sold a Chengchuan and developed a County Magistrate He!
The content of the slogans was unsightly. Although the slogans were removed at dawn, Director Liu of the county public security bureau also came to the scene to see it and filed a special case for this. However, the impact of this incident in the eyes of the few comrades who came to the city who knew the situation was not something that could be explained clearly in one sentence.
According to a staff member of the county guesthouse, the night before I found the slogan, someone secretly asked the staff here to hand over a file bag full of things to the room of the comrades who were learning about the situation...
Knowing this, Lao He's secretary Xiao Wang almost jumped up in Lao He's office, "County Magistrate, they are messing with your black materials. These ***s are so despicable. They just do shameful methods in the dark. Director Liu said he wanted to investigate, but there are no more investigations. This time, the county magistrate has only two candidates for election. If you knock down the county magistrate, that old witch can stand out, and a discerning person can see it at a glance..."
"You are not afraid of your shadow being crooked!" Old He said to Xiao Wang seriously, "These are shameful means, and they can distinguish them..."
Some naive Lao He didn't expect that the methods to deal with him were even more powerful, but he had not used them yet...
