Chapter 197: Hitting a Snake and Hitting Seven Inches
After Luo Qiulin ended the five-person group meeting in an almost rogue manner, although Su Yetai, Fu Lei, and Xie Benzhu were angry, they were helpless - because Luo Qiulin was the secretary of the county party committee, and also the convener and host of the five-person group meeting and the meeting of the standing committee of the county party committee, he could decide when to start the meeting and when to end it, and others could only follow his arrangement......
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Lu Tao, who was stationed in Huaguang Village, suddenly received a call from Fu Lei, asking him to rush to the "Old Farmer's Native Vegetable Restaurant" after work, saying that he had something important to discuss.
Lu Tao thought that he was talking to him with Xie Benzhu about Xia Bingbing's promotion, so he hurriedly asked Su Yaoguang for leave, and rushed to the "Old Farmer's Native Restaurant" at about six o'clock, and entered the box to take a look, but only Fu Lei was sitting alone. I saw that his face was grim and his brows were tightly locked, and after seeing Lu Tao come in, he didn't stand up and greet him as enthusiastically as before, but just bowed his head slightly and motioned for him to sit down opposite.
After Lu Tao sat down, Fu Lei asked straightforwardly: "Xiao Lu, Secretary Xie Benzhu told me just now that you have some clues about Li Weijun's violation of discipline and law, right?"
Lu Tao was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Minister Fu, what do you mean by Li Weijun's violation of discipline and law?"
"It's the problem of him keeping a mistress. Listening to Secretary Xie, as early as a few days ago, he heard Huang Zeke, the mayor of Dalong Town, say privately that Li Weijun had a mistress and gave birth to two children. In order to avoid people's eyes, he arranged for his mistress to marry one of his distant cousins, and then let the mistress settle in Matsuyama City with his son, and he used his duty time to secretly go to Matsuyama City every week to meet his mistress and visit his two sons—do you know this?"
Lu Tao nodded and said, "I know." His mistress is named Su Lihong, and the person who married Su Lihong is named Wu Liangmin, who now lives in Shikeng Village, Dalong Town, and is a disabled person. Last time, Mayor Huang and I contacted Wu Liangmin in the name of visiting poor households, and wanted to mobilize him to stand up and testify against Li Weijun's mistress. However, this Wu Liangmin is very cunning, and maybe Li Weijun has given him a lot of benefits, so he is not only unwilling to tell the truth about the fake marriage, but also makes up several stories to cover up for Li Weijun. ”
Fu Lei squinted slightly and listened to what he said, and said in a very solemn tone: "Xiao Lu, let me first inform you of a situation: This afternoon, Luo Qiulin convened a five-member group meeting to discuss the selection and appointment of several cadres, including the proposed candidate for the post of deputy director of the Finance Bureau. At this meeting, I, County Magistrate Su, and Secretary Xie have completely turned against Luo Qiulin for the promotion of Xia Bingbing——"
Lu Tao said "ahhh
Fu Lei said stupidly: "We still underestimated the shamelessness of Luo Qiulin, thinking that he would keep the promises and rules he just made, and list Xia Bingbing as a candidate for promotion in accordance with the principle of the minority obeying the majority, but I didn't expect him to announce that he would not vote on this topic on the grounds that the new rules have not yet been officially issued, and then immediately announced the dismissal of the meeting." His intention in doing this is very obvious: since Zhang Yaling cannot be promoted, then the position of deputy director of the Finance Bureau will be vacant indefinitely, and no one else will want to occupy this position. ”
Lu Tao let out an "oh", with a look of great disappointment on his face.
Fu Lei stared at him a few times, sighed and said: "Xiao Lu, let me tell you the truth: today I and County Magistrate Su and Comrade Benzhu have ridden on the back of the tiger for Xia Bingbing's promotion, and it is already difficult to get down, and we can only fight to the death with this tiger to avoid the tragic fate of being eaten by the tiger-do you understand what I mean?"
Lu Tao said a little apologetically: "I understand." The three of you are going against Luo Qiulin today, which is tantamount to openly challenging him, and he will definitely use his power and backstage to retaliate against you. In this case, you only have one way to go to Huashan, which is to fight him to the end. ”
Fu Lei nodded and said, "Luo Qiulin has a rough appearance, but in fact, he is very scheming and very thorough. He has been in charge of Taolin for nearly 10 years, and those who know him well know that he is a big corrupt official and a big corrupt element, but his corrupt behavior is very secretive, and it is very difficult for others to grasp his handle and tail. Therefore, although there are people suing him every year, they always fail to get to the point, and they can't give any solid evidence.
"For example, some people recently wrote a report letter to the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection to accuse him, but the facts listed were all general, such as accusing him of having problems with his life style, fornicating with the daughter of the underworld leader Liu Hong all the year round, and providing a protective umbrella for the underworld group, but no one could provide corresponding evidence; some people accused him of being arbitrary, arrogant and domineering, and engaging in 'one-word hall' in the county party committee's leading body, and not allowing for different opinions, which makes it even more impossible to cite any empirical evidence.
"The most important thing is: Luo Qiulin has a very strong backstage in the city and the province. For example, Li Haiping, mayor of Songshan City, is his most solid supporter, and Zhou Jianzhou, executive vice governor, and two other members of the Standing Committee of the provincial party committee also have a very close relationship with Luo Qiuli. With these backers and umbrellas, it will be even more difficult to bring down Luo Qiulin!"
Lu Tao asked a little anxiously: "According to what you say, if you want to fight Luo Qiulin, won't you lose?"
There is a saying called 'striking a snake and striking seven inches,' which means that when dealing with the enemy, we must grasp the opponent's vital points in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort. In the same way, to deal with Luo Qiulin's poisonous snake, we must also grasp his vital point, and then hit it with a stick, which will definitely kill him!"
Lu Tao hurriedly asked, "What is Luo Qiulin's point?"
Fu Lei replied without hesitation: "His key point is Li Weijun!"
Seeing the confused expression on Lu Tao's face, Fu Lei patiently explained: "Xiao Lu, you should have heard a rumor: Luo Qiulin and Li Weijun are de facto brothers-in-law, right? In fact, this is not a rumor, but an ironclad fact. Luo Qiulin and Liu Hong's eldest daughter Liu Feiyan are lovers, which is almost a well-known thing in Taolin. And Li Weijun married Liu Hong's second daughter Liu Shuangyan, who is actually Luo Qiulin's brother-in-law.
"According to our speculation: Luo Qiulin, Liu Hong, Li Weijun and others are not only nepotistic, but also a community of interests, they should all have a stake in the O'Neill Group, and have grabbed huge illegal profits through the group. At the same time, Liu Feiyan, Liu Hong, and Li Weijun were also Luo Qiulin's power agents, and Luo Qiulin traded power for money through them and filled his own pockets in a big way. What I said is not groundless: according to the county magistrate Su, Liu Feiyan often asked him to grant land or ask for projects for some real estate bosses and construction contractors, and it is said that last year alone, Liu Feiyan obtained two pieces of land in prime locations at very low prices, and also contracted three municipal projects. Even if Liu Feiyan didn't do the land and projects by herself, the 'introduction fee' and 'benefit fee' she got from it are estimated to be a lot of money. ”
