Wang Xiong didn't expect Li Haiping to ask him about going to Taolin County to handle the case as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but be taken aback, with a panicked and embarrassed look on his face, and he didn't know how to answer him for a while.

It turned out that when he received the task of secretly investigating Li Weijun, Wang Xiong was told that Li Weijun's case might involve some important leaders of the Taolin County Party Committee and the Songshan City Party Committee, and in order to prevent those people involved in those cases from obstructing and interfering with the handling of the case, the investigation of Li Weijun must be kept a high degree of secrecy. Except for Zhou Yihong and Wang Zhongyong, other leaders of the municipal party committee, including Mayor Li Haiping, could not let them know about the investigation......

Wang Xiong has worked in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection for many years, has a good understanding of the complex situation in Taolin County, and has also received many reports against Luo Qiulin, Du Shangwu, Qiu Aihua, Li Weijun and others, knowing that they are all single-handedly pulled up by Mayor Li Haiping and belong to the core backbone of the same circle. Secretary Zhou made up his mind to secretly investigate Li Weijun this time, obviously "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong", and his real target is not Li Weijun, but Luo Qiulin, Li Haiping and others!

In fact, when accepting this task, Wang Xiong had hesitated and feared. Because he knows very well: once he leads the team to secretly investigate Li Weijun, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Mayor Li Haiping. And Li Haiping has deep roots in Songshan City, and his protégés and former officials are all over the counties and cities, and he is also very strong in the backing and background of the provincial party committee. Once he and Zhou Yihong tear their faces and break up openly, it is still unknown who will be afraid of the deer's death in the end......

It was precisely because he was a little hesitant and scared in his heart that when he heard Li Haiping ask him bluntly if he had been handling a case in Taolin County recently, Wang Xiong couldn't help but be a little panicked and couldn't answer......

Li Haiping stared at him a few times with a perceptive gaze, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he asked meaningfully: "Comrade Wang Xiong, some people are now using you as a gunman, and they want you to charge into battle for them and set off a bloody struggle in the officialdom of Songshan City—do you realize this?"

Wang Xiong lowered his eyes and replied a little weakly: "Mayor Li, I don't quite understand what you mean. To tell the truth, not long ago, our Discipline Inspection Commission did set up an investigation group to prepare for a comprehensive investigation into Li Weijun's violation of discipline and law. The reason for this investigation is that we have received a lot of reports about Li Weijun's keeping of mistresses, embezzlement and bribery, and corruption and degeneration. After analyzing and judging the reported materials, we believe that the problems reflected in these materials are likely to be true, so we decided to set up an investigation team to conduct a preliminary review of the problems reflected in the reported materials.

"Because Li Weijun has not yet been investigated, we have not reported it to the municipal party committee. Unexpectedly, during the initial nuclear period, Li Weijun suddenly absconded, which put our investigation work in a difficult situation. We originally wanted to report the situation to Secretary Zhou and you in the near future, but I didn't expect you to already know, so I will take this opportunity to give you a detailed report on our previous investigation of Li Weijun!"

Li Haiping frowned, waved his hand and said: "Comrade Wang Xiong, there is no need for you to defend yourself at length, I already knew about your investigation of Li Weijun's situation, and there is no need to report anything to me." In addition, I understand your distress, and I know that you are now caught in the cracks in the wall, and you are in a dilemma. I just want to remind you that in a war of equal strength, the one who rushes to the front is often the one who dies the fastest! ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Wang Xiong twice and continued: "You are a smart person, and you should have realized it when you were tasked with investigating Li Weijun: Investigating Li Weijun is definitely not a simple anti-corruption action; otherwise, why would the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection set up an investigation team to investigate and deal with him in such a big way? According to the authority of cadre management, he should have been investigated and dealt with by the county discipline inspection commission, right? In addition, why did you investigate Li Weijun be so mysterious and sneaky? Why do you want to hide it from the overwhelming majority of the leaders of the city party committee and the county party committee? This is clearly a conspiracy of a few people who want to use Li Weijun's corruption problem to attack his colleagues and eliminate dissidents!"

Wang Xiong was trembling and sweating at his words, and was stunned for a while before stammering: "Mayor Li, maybe your analysis and judgment are right, but I am a reckless person, I really don't think so much, I only know how to act according to orders, if there is really something wrong, please give me more advice and understanding!"

Li Haiping said "um", was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Three months ago, you entrusted Comrade Wang Zhongyong to propose to Secretary Gong, saying that you wanted to change your position and go to the following counties and cities to become a secretary, but at that time Secretary Gong clearly rejected your request, do you know the reason?"

"I don't know, maybe Secretary Gong thinks I'm not capable enough!"

Li Haiping shook his head and said, "There is no problem with your ability. The reason why Secretary Gong rejected you was because he heard some feedback, saying that you and your brother had jointly opened a construction company in Zhushan County, and had used your power and influence to help your brother's company win bids for municipal construction and urban and rural road renovation projects, making a lot of money and causing a very bad impact in the local area. ”

Speaking of this, Li Haiping opened the office drawer, took out a stack of materials from it and threw it in front of Wang Xiong, and said: "These are all report letters personally sent to Secretary Gong and me by some insiders in Zhushan County, and the content reflected in them is some facts and evidence that you have helped your brother's company collude in bid-rigging, suppress competitors, and monopolize Zhushan County government projects during your tenure as secretary of the Zhushan County Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy secretary of the Songshan City Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Wang Xiong's face was pale, he picked up the report materials with a trembling hand, skimmed the content on them slightly, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and forced himself to justify: "Mayor Li, my brother does have a construction company in Zhushan County, but I did not invest in it, nor did I use my authority and influence to contract projects for this company. These reporting materials are all taken for granted, thinking that my brother has opened a company, and I will definitely use my power to benefit him, without any empirical evidence at all, please Mayor Li Mingjian!"

Li Haiping smiled and said: "Comrade Wang Xiong, these whistleblowers are all builders and real estate developers who have a certain influence in Zhushan County, and they are also very well-informed. They reported that you used your authority to help your brother's company, which should not be entirely speculation and estimates, and there must be some evidence. The reason why they did not go directly to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to report you, but sent the report letter to Secretary Gong and me, is because you are now the deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and if you go to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to report you, it will definitely not work. Let me tell you the truth: after receiving these reports, Secretary Gong and I both asked the person in charge of the Zhushan County Party Committee to find out about the situation, and they admitted that you did greet them and asked to take care of your brother's company when it was bidding for government projects. Based on this alone, if you seriously investigate it, you will definitely not be able to get out of it!"
