What Lu Tao didn't expect was that he hadn't started to collect evidence of Xiao Qingshan's suspected corruption, but the latter wanted to set him off first.

In the afternoon of that day, Xiao Qingshan suddenly summoned Lu Tao, Li Xiangming, Hu Hongbin, and other deputy directors to hold a meeting of the members of the inspection bureau.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xiao Qingshan said clearly: "Comrades, the main purpose of convening this meeting today is to clarify your work in charge. My opinion is: Comrade Li Xiangming will continue to be in charge of case selection and inspection, Comrade Hu Hongbin will be in charge of case trial, and Comrade Lu Tao will be in charge of case enforcement. What do you think about this opinion?"

Lu Tao didn't notice Xiao Qingshan's true intentions at first, so he was the first to say: "Director Xiao, I obey the arrangement and have no opinions." ”

Li Xiangming and Hu Hongbin also made the same statement.

After Xiao Qingshan waited for them to finish their statements, he said in a very serious tone: "I want to make one more clear point now: in the future, we must strictly follow the requirements of the "Tax Inspection Regulations", divide labor and responsibility, perform their own duties, and restrain each other. That is to say, starting today, the comrades of the inspection group will be fully responsible for the inspection of the lower households, and the comrades of the trial group will only be responsible for adjudicating cases and will not participate in the inspection of the lower households; and the comrades of the enforcement group will only be responsible for the work of inspecting the collection and storage of taxes, late fines, and fines, and will no longer be able to go down to the households for inspection. ”

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Tao immediately reacted: Xiao Qingshan wanted to completely elevate himself, so that he could no longer participate in the household inspection work in the future, and the reason was still high-sounding, so that he could not oppose it - because according to the requirements of the "Tax Inspection Regulations", the inspection department should indeed separate the inspection, trial and execution of the three links, so as to achieve the effect of mutual restraint. Xiao Qingshan proposed at this moment that the personnel of the trial team and the enforcement team no longer participate in the household inspection, and from the bright side, it does meet this requirement.

However, in the inspection departments of the county, city, and city bureaus, because the number of cadres is limited, and there are many taxpayers included in the inspection plan, they all carry out flexible treatment: within the inspection bureau, three departments are set up according to the requirements: the inspection team, the trial group, and the enforcement group are set up according to the requirements, but when the household is inspected, it does not follow this division of labor, but sets up several inspection teams, each deputy director leads one or two groups, and each group assigns the number of inspection households and tasks, and conducts inspections at each household separately, and finally concentrates on trial and execution.

But now, Xiao Qingshan suddenly wants to break this convention and ask the members of the trial team and the enforcement team not to participate in the household inspection, obviously coming to Lu Tao, the purpose is to deprive him of the right to go to the household inspection, and can only do the finishing work after the end of each case, so as to completely eliminate his threat to Liu Hong's company......

Next, after hearing Xiao Qingshan's personnel arrangements for each group, Lu Tao was even more convinced of his judgment: according to Xiao Qingshan's arrangement, in addition to the four directors of the inspection bureau, ten of the remaining twelve ordinary cadres entered the inspection team, the other two entered the trial team, and one entered the enforcement group. In other words, Lu Tao and Hu Hongbin, the two deputy directors, each have only one soldier under them, almost two bare-pole commanders......

When he heard this personnel arrangement at the beginning, Lu Tao was still a little puzzled in his heart: Hu Hongbin is also Xiao Qingshan's confidant and confidant, he, like Li Xiangming, is only Xiao Qingshan's leader, why is Xiao Qingshan also emptying him now?

So, he couldn't help but look up at Hu Hongbin, but saw that he looked calm, without the slightest resentment or anger, after thinking about it carefully, he finally understood: Xiao Qingshan must have talked to Hu Hongbin alone in private before this meeting, and made any wishes or promises to him, so he almost didn't care about becoming a "light pole commander" at this moment......

Lu Tao is very clear: now he is a "lonely person" in the inspection bureau, if he opposes Xiao Qingshan's opinion, not only will he not get support, but on the contrary, he may be attacked by the three of them, and in the end he can only bring humiliation on himself!

Therefore, when Xiao Qingshan divided the labor of the three deputy directors and adjusted all the cadre positions of the Inspection Bureau, Lu Tao maintained a calm state from beginning to end and did not raise any objections, which made Xiao Qingshan, who was always ready to quarrel with him, wonder......

That night, Lu Tao invited Wu Hongyu, the only "soldier" under him, to dinner.

The reason why he wanted to invite Wu Hongyu to dinner, Lu Tao had considerations: in the Taolin County Prefectural and Municipal Bureau, Wu Hongyu is a typical "bag inquiry", who usually likes to eavesdrop and spy on other people's privacy, and then mysteriously tell others about their privacy, and get psychological satisfaction from the surprised expressions on their faces when others hear these privacy, and they are never tired of it.

Lu Tao had been in the same office with Wu Hongyu for more than a year, and he had heard from him many times about some secret things about the cadres of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, such as Tao Shilin, deputy director of the First Branch, who had an affair with Mr. Wang of the mobile company, and was caught and raped in bed by Tao Shilin, but Tao Shilin was afraid that people would know that he was cuckolding, so he did not dare to divorce his wife; for another example, Huang Zhiyi, the deputy chief of the tax collection and management department, had an affair with his sister-in-law, was caught by his wife, slashed her sister with a kitchen knife, and severed the relationship with her mother's family......

Lu Tao and Wu Hongyu's colleagues for three or four years know his habits best: if he walks on the street, as long as anything unusual happens around him, such as passers-by quarreling, car accidents, someone falling, etc., he will definitely come over, while watching the excitement with great interest, while tirelessly asking the insiders about the situation, and then quickly send the information to WeChat Moments or tell acquaintances and friends.

Therefore, as long as there is any sudden or unexpected incident in Taolin County, the people of the local taxation bureau do not need to read the news or official bulletin at all, as long as they pay attention to Wu Hongyu's WeChat circle of friends as soon as possible, or call him, they will definitely be able to learn about the situation at the scene, and they can even learn a lot of inside information from him.

The funniest thing is: sometimes Wu Hongyu sits in the office on the fifth floor to sort out the information, if there is a sudden noise from the office downstairs, he will immediately stop the work in hand, first poke his head out of the window, and see what is going on below......

It is precisely because Wu Hongyu is a "Jianghu Baixiaosheng", especially the privacy of the cadres of the Taolin County Local Taxation Bureau, so Lu Tao wants to invite him to have a meal alone, and put a set of Xiao Qingshan's secret things suspected of corruption from his mouth.

The reason why Lu Tao had such an idea was because a few months ago, he had heard Wu Hongyu tell a story about Xiao Qingshan: Once, several of Xiao Qingshan's old comrades-in-arms came from the north to have a party with him, and he arranged for these comrades-in-arms to live in the Qingyun Hotel near the Local Taxation Bureau. The owner of this hotel is named Luo Zhongxia, and he and Xiao Qingshan have known each other for many years.

According to Xiao Qingshan's thoughts, Luo Zhongxia knew that he was the director of the local taxation inspection bureau, and he was an old acquaintance, and a few comrades-in-arms stayed in his hotel for two or three nights, and they should be exempted.

Unexpectedly, Luo Zhongxia is a person who does not "understand taste", and he is very stingy, and Xiao Qingshan is not the leader of the branch who directly manages the Qingyun Hotel, so he has no intention of "understanding" Xiao Qingshan at all, and when his comrades-in-arms checked out, he just gave him a VIP preferential price, but the room fee was not less than a cent......
