Xiao Qingshan knew very well in his heart: Lu Tao is not only close to Xie Benzhu, secretary of the county Commission for Discipline Inspection, but also a relative of Zhou Yihong, secretary of the Songshan Municipal Party Committee, as long as he is willing to help, the Commission for Discipline Inspection will not open a case against him, and may not even transfer the case to the local taxation bureau for investigation and punishment. According to Wang Ding, he is now his only savior.

Therefore, after Lu Tao refused to accept his invitation, although he was very embarrassed and annoyed in his heart, he didn't dare to show anything on the surface, he still had a stiff smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lu, if you have other arrangements in the evening, then we won't eat together, and I will make an appointment with you when you are free." Why don't you go for tea after dinner?"

Lu Tao raised his eyes and looked at him, secretly wondering in his heart: Does this old thing know that this incident was planned by me and Wu Hongyu? He tried his best to invite me to dinner and tea, did he want to ask me something?

In fact, before instigating Luo Zhongxia to report Xiao Qingshan, Lu Tao had thought it out carefully and taken careful measures to avoid letting Xiao Qingshan or others in the bureau suspect that he was planning the complaint - because he knew very well that in the government unit, the complaint behind his back was the most despised. Especially in a power department like the local taxation bureau, many staff members have problems such as accepting red envelopes and gifts, so they hate those who complain behind their backs the most.

For example, last time, Lu Tao just angrily said that Xiao Qingshan had the benefit of Liu Hong, so he was alienated and coldly treated by many colleagues, and almost became a "public enemy of the Local Taxation Bureau". If his colleagues knew about the plot behind his back to report Xiao Qingshan to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, even those cadres who had a bad relationship with Xiao Qingshan would definitely blame themselves for not hugging the "family ugliness" outside, and began to alienate and guard against themselves. In that case, even if Xiao Qingshan is destroyed, he will leave an impression in the hearts of all the cadres of the Local Taxation Bureau that he has a bad character and likes to sue him, in which case the gains outweigh the losses!

In order to avoid this situation, Lu Tao repeatedly emphasized to Wu Hongyu: I don't want to sue Xiao Qingshan, if you insist on rectifying him, I can help hand over your report letter to Secretary Xie, but you can't treat me as your ally, let alone involve me in this troublesome dispute. In addition, in front of Luo Zhongxia and his nephew, you must not mention my name, nor can you tell him about my relationship with Secretary Xie!

At the same time, he also reminded Wu Zhongyu: As a subordinate, you go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to sue the superior leader, which is very jealous, if your colleagues know, you will become the target of public criticism, and you will be alienated and isolated by all colleagues. Therefore, this time to sue Xiao Qingshan, Luo Zhongxia can only come forward, you must not sign it, let alone tell anyone about it, including your family......

Wu Zhongyu swore to him at that time that he would keep his mouth shut and would never tell a third party about the matter. However, Lu Tao knew that Wu Zhongyu was a person who couldn't keep his mouth, especially when he was drunk, he was more likely to run out of the air and leak his air, and any secrets would be revealed from his mouth.

Therefore, Lu Tao is now unsure whether Xiao Qingshan knows that he was also involved in the complaint. In order to find out the truth, he suddenly asked: "Director Xiao, do you want to talk to me alone?" If this is the case, it is just the two of us here, please speak up, and you will be free from eating and drinking tea. ”

Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Xiao Lu, I know that you are a very upright and righteous person, so I don't need to hide it: I am looking for you now, and I do have something to ask you for help." The situation is as follows: Just a few days ago, Luo Zhongxia, the owner of the Qingyun Hotel, suddenly submitted a report to the county Commission for Discipline Inspection, reporting that in the process of carrying out a tax inspection of the Qingyun Hotel, I had abused my power and accepted gifts and red envelopes. I heard that you have a very good relationship with Secretary Xie of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, so I would like to ask you to find Secretary Xie for me, ask him for intercession, and strive not to file a case against me for investigation. ”

Lu Tao pretended to be surprised and asked: "The owner of the Qingyun Hotel reported you to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Why did he do this? I remember that this case was handled by Director Li Xiangming, Wu Hongyu, and Luo Li, and it seems that the tax penalty is not much, is the boss still not satisfied?"

Xiao Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Lu, the reasons for this are very complicated, and I can't tell you anything." In fact, I have known Luo Zhongxia, the owner of that hotel, for more than ten years, and the relationship is not bad, so I took care of him during that tax inspection, but I didn't expect him to be a white-eyed wolf, and he would bite me back when he got a benefit. ”

Lu Tao deliberately asked: "What problems does the main person surnamed Luo sue you?"

Xiao Qingshan was silent for a moment, and said vaguely: "Anyway, it's the old routine of those complaints, saying that I abuse my power and use my power for personal gain." ”

At this point, Lu Tao was convinced: Xiao Qingshan did not connect the complaint with himself at all, and came to invite himself to dinner today, purely to ask himself for help, to intercede for him from Xie Benzhu, and to ask the Commission for Discipline Inspection not to investigate him.

After having this judgment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, deliberately frowned and thought for a while, and then said in a very sincere tone: "Director Xiao, if you want me to intercede with Secretary Xie, then you must tell me truthfully: What problems did Luo Zhongxia reflect to the Commission for Discipline Inspection? Are these problems true? If you don't tell me the truth, or conceal some key issues, I won't be able to tell Secretary Xie how to tell them—do you think it's right?"

Xiao Qingshan hesitated for a moment, clenched his fists, as if he had made up his mind, and whispered: " Xiao Lu, you are right, I will tell you frankly: In the Qingyun Hotel inspection case, I made three mistakes: First, I shortened the inspection period of the Qingyun Hotel, which should have been inspected for three years, but I asked the inspectors to inspect it for only one year, resulting in the hotel not being inspected for two years of tax evasion and tax evasion; second, the inspectors were instructed to revise the inspection draft and inspection report, and some of the taxes that should be paid were exempted, and the punishment for the problem of tax evasion by the hotel was also low; and the third was to accept 20,000 yuan of red envelopes and four articles from Luo Zhongxia. and the world's cigarettes. This third point is the most deadly, I have called Luo Zhongxia many times in the past two days, wanting to return the money and cigarettes to him, but he either turned off the phone or did not answer my call, there is no way to return it. ”

At this, a look of frustration and helplessness appeared on his face.

Lu Tao knew that he couldn't directly refuse Xiao Qingshan, let alone reveal any grudge against him, otherwise, it would arouse his suspicions and associations, and maybe he would think that he might be plotting against him behind his back......

So, he pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Qingshan, "Director Xiao, you are very troublesome in this matter. According to what you said, you have been suspected of violating the law and committing crimes, and I don't know if Secretary Xie will buy my face. However, I can speak to him privately and ask him to take care of you as much as he can, provided that he does not seriously violate his principles. ”
