Xia Yuze saw that Lu Tao insisted on not wanting the 10,000 yuan, and he was not reluctant, so he had to accept the money and toast Lu Tao a few glasses of wine......

The next day was Saturday, and early in the morning, Lu Tao received a call from Du Xiaoyu, asking him if he could go to Shuangxiong Mountain to play? Lu Tao could not refuse, so he had to borrow a car from a friend, take Du Xiaoyu to play in Shuangxiong Mountain for a day, stay at a farmhouse on the mountain in the evening, and rush back to Taolin County in the afternoon of the next day.

After separating from Du Xiaoyu, Lu Tao called Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu respectively and invited them to have dinner together in the evening, and both of them readily agreed.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Lu Tao, like Huang Zeke invited himself to dinner last time, set the location at the "Old Farmer Native Vegetable Restaurant" in the eastern suburbs of the county. At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu entered the box one after another and greeted Lu Tao with a smile.

After the three of them sat down, Xie Benzhu said to Lu Tao in a grateful tone: "Brother Lu, thank you for taking us to Secretary Zhou's house last time and letting him listen to my grievances. Three days ago, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection came to a conclusion on my issue, holding that there was no dereliction of duty on the issue of investigating and prosecuting Cao Qing, secretary of Qingyun Township. As soon as this conclusion came out, my whole person was relaxed, and the two days of eating and sleeping were much sweeter, thank you!"

Lu Tao hurriedly congratulated him and said a few humble words.

When the wine and food came up, Lu Tao first toasted Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu with a glass of wine, and then told them about Xia Bingbing's request, and asked them if they could help?

After Fu Lei heard what he said, he glanced at Xie Benzhu, and said a little embarrassed: "Brother, this matter is more difficult to do! As early as a few days ago, Secretary Luo greeted me and asked the Organization Department to focus on Zhang Yaling. The intention of these words is very clear, that is, to promote Zhang Yaling, Xia Bingbing is just a foil. Under normal circumstances, if Secretary Luo names someone to promote, no matter how bad the person's character and ability are, he will be promoted. For example, Li Weijun, many people wrote to him before every promotion, and many members of the Standing Committee also had opinions and opinions on him, but because Secretary Luo liked him and appreciated him, he went all the way and was promoted from a section member to the position of secretary of the town party committee within a few years. ”

Xie Benzhu also said in an apologetic tone: "Brother, Minister Fu and I both treat you as our own brothers, if it can be done, we are duty-bound, and we will definitely spare no effort to help you do it." It's just that this time Secretary Luo did designate to promote Zhang Yaling, and several of our Standing Committee members greeted us in advance, if we support Xia Bingbing, it will be tantamount to openly disagreeing with Secretary Luo, and he will definitely hate us, and it is basically impossible for me and Secretary Xie to succeed in the competition, so this matter is really difficult to do. ”

Lu Tao had long expected them to say this, smiled slightly, took his glass and toasted them again, and asked: "Two leaders, I would like to ask: Is there a letter written to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to report Secretary Luo? I heard that the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection attaches great importance to the report letter and is ready to investigate the content of the report, is there such a thing?"

Xie Benzhu nodded and said, "There is indeed such a thing. However, this is not an uncommon thing for Secretary Luo, since he became the secretary of the county party committee, the reports against him have never stopped, but every time he was suppressed by Gong Hangao, the former secretary of the municipal party committee, and Li Haiping, the mayor, and has never been investigated. Now that Gong Hangao has been transferred, Li Haiping is still in the mayor's office, and he will die Paul Qiulin.

At the same time, among the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, there are several who have a particularly good relationship with Luo Qiulin, and they will also help Luo Qiulin avoid being investigated and punished. And the newcomer Secretary Zhou is now unstable and authoritative, and he definitely doesn't want to deal with Luo Qiulin's problem and tear his face against Li Haiping and others. What's more, Luo Qiulin also has a backer and backstage among the leaders of the provincial party committee, and it is said that by the end of the year, he will be promoted to the member of the Standing Committee of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Municipal Party Committee Office. Therefore, according to our analysis, the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection will investigate Luo Qiulin, and the thunder and rain will be small, and in the end, it will be as bad as before. ”

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "I don't think so." As far as I know, Secretary Zhou is very disgusted with Luo Qiulin, and has heard a lot of rumors about his violation of discipline and law, such as Luo Qiulin's perennial mistress, acting as a protective umbrella for the underworld leader Liu Hong, monopolizing power, domineering style, and so on. Secretary Zhou is a very upright and jealous person, and after learning about Luo Qiulin's bad deeds, he will definitely make up his mind to investigate and punish him. Although Li Haiping and others wanted to shield Luo Qiulin, if Secretary Zhou made up his mind to take him down, it is estimated that they would not be able to stop him if they wanted to. ”

These words were actually made up by Lu Tao. Because he knew very well that the reason why Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu didn't dare to help Xia Bingbing was because they were afraid that by doing so, they would disobey Luo Qiulin's intentions and invite his revenge. However, if they learned that Secretary Zhou was very disgusted with Luo Qiulin, and was even ready to investigate and punish him, maybe they would dare to fight against Luo Qiulin......

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Fu Lei and Xie Benzhu glanced at each other meaningfully, and a thought arose in their hearts at the same time: Did Secretary Zhou deliberately use Lu Tao's mouth to tell the two of them these words? If this is the case, it means that Secretary Zhou is really going to do something to Luo Qiulin......

Lu Tao saw that they were all silent, so he continued: "I heard from an insider that Luo Qiulin is also more panicked now, and his words and actions are much more low-key than before. Moreover, in order to cope with the upcoming investigation, he made a public statement on the issue of selecting and appointing cadres, saying that he would strictly abide by the principle of 'democratic centralism' and the rules of procedure of 'the minority obeying the majority,' and that when promoting and promoting cadres, he would fully respect the opinions of the members of the leading group and the results of the votes, and would no longer engage in 'one-word hall' and 'secretary's final word'.

Fu Lei nodded and said, "That's right, he did make such a statement at the Standing Committee." However, we are all skeptical that he will actually do what he says. For example, this time when the Finance Bureau promoted the deputy director, he greeted the people of the county party committee team in advance and said that he wanted to promote Zhang Yaling, what is the difference between this and the past?"

Lu Tao smiled and said, "Minister Fu, since he has made such a statement, you can take advantage of this to vote on the promotion of Xia Bingbing and Zhang Yaling at the five-person group meeting." Among the members of the five-member group, the two of you accounted for two votes, and the remaining Su county magistrate and deputy secretary of the county party committee, please find a way to win one more vote, so that you can have a majority in the vote. In this case, Luo Qiulin would have nothing to say. ”

Fu Lei glanced at Lu Tao in surprise, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said a little worriedly: "Brother, it's not impossible for you to do this." However, if we really do this, it will be tantamount to an open break with Luo Qiulin, and we can only fight with him in the future, have you thought about the consequences of doing so?"
