Xue Fei asked Ling Ziyue to secretly investigate the corruption situation in the counties below the Nanhe, and Ling Ziyue was very concerned.

Seeing that the end of the year was getting closer and closer, Ling Ziyue went down to several cities and counties in the name of research.

Mingbei County, located in the northern part of Nanyun City, is a state-level poverty-stricken county with a population of 2.3 million, nearly half of whom are still below the poverty alleviation line set by the state. The Nam Ha provincial government invests a lot of money every year to alleviate poverty, but for many years it has had little effect.

After entering the county, Ling Ziyue looked out through the car window, and she found that there were many high-rise buildings and surging traffic on the road, no matter how she looked at it, she didn't look like a national-level poor county.

After arriving at the county party committee and county government, the two buildings in the courtyard instantly attracted Ling Ziyue's attention, because Ling Ziyue immediately saw that this was built in imitation of the twin buildings of the World Trade Center in the United States, but it was not as good as the World Trade Center twin buildings, and the high ones were about seven floors, and the low ones were four or five floors. The two buildings look like they are newly built.

The yard is very large, with flower beds, green trees, rockeries, fountains...... Although it has entered winter, the leaves have fallen, and the flowers and plants have withered, Ling Ziyue can imagine the appearance of the Mingbei County Party Committee and County Government surrounded by flowers and trees in spring and summer.

After more than ten years in politics, Ling Ziyue has also been to some county party committees and county governments, but it is the first time she has seen it as magnificent as Mingbei County, and she feels even more magnificent than some municipal party committees and municipal governments.

Ling Ziyue greeted before she came, so the leaders of the four major teams of Mingbei County, as well as the members of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, all appeared at the gate to greet them.

"Hello Secretary Ling, welcome to Mingbei County for research." Qin Santai, secretary of the Mingbei County Party Committee, held Ling Ziyue's hand with both hands, and after greeting him with a smile, he immediately shook the hand of Wu Fengfan, member of the Standing Committee of the Nanyun Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, who accompanied Ling Ziyue to investigate: "Welcome Secretary Wu." ”

Subsequently, Qin Santai introduced other leaders to Ling Ziyue in turn. When introducing Zou Changyou, the executive deputy county magistrate, Ling Ziyue was stunned for a moment.

"Hello Secretary Ling." Zou Changyou stretched out his hands and said with a smile.

"Hello." Ling Ziyue smiled slightly and shook hands with Zou Changyou.

Since he knew in advance the time when Ling Ziyue and Wu Fengfan would come over, Qin Santai had already greeted the county guest house and asked them to prepare two tables of the highest standard meals.

After introducing everyone, Qin Santai took a group of people to the county guest house for dinner.

Ling Ziyue sat on the main seat, with Qin Santai and Wu Fengfan beside him. During the banquet, Qin Santai had been briefing Ling Ziyue on the situation in Mingbei County. On the other side, Wu Fengfan was accompanied by the county magistrate Huang Hongjing.

When the meal was in the second half, Wu Fengfan got up and went to the bathroom. When he left, he glanced at Qin Santai, and after a while, Qin Santai also left the private room on the grounds of convenience.

Seeing Qin Santai go out, Hu Yihu, director of the office of the county party committee, who was sitting at another table, immediately got up and followed.

When he came to the door of the bathroom, Qin Santai had a serious face, and said, "Look at the door, no one will be allowed to come in." ”

Hu Yihu nodded: "Don't worry, not a single fly can fly in." ”

Qin Santai entered the bathroom and saw Wu Fengfan standing in front of the window smoking, and there was no one else but him.

"Secretary Wu, what are your orders?" Qin Santai and Zai were like two people outside, looking at Wu Fengfan with a smile, and the taste of flattery was very strong.

"Have you explained everything?" Wu Fengfan flicked the cigarette ash, and there was no expression on his face.

"Don't worry, yesterday I specially convened the Standing Committee and told everyone to control their mouths. In order to be sure, I also sent people to monitor the main leaders in each county. I'll be the first to know when there's a stir. ”

"You know best how you, the county party secretary, were re-elected. Don't do anything, or no one will be able to save you. ”

"I know, I know."

After lunch, after a little news, Ling Ziyue, accompanied by Wu Fengfan, Qin Santai and the secretary of the Mingbei County Commission for Discipline Inspection, went to the following townships to conduct in-depth investigation.

I walked through two towns in one afternoon, and when I returned to Mingbei County, it was already dark.

Dinner and accommodation, Qin Santai arranged them all in the county guest house.

After dinner, Ling Ziyue returned to her room.

Ling Ziyue's room was a suite. Although from the outside, the guest house in Mingbei County looks very ordinary, and even a little old. But that's just an indication of the phenomenon, and there's something else going on inside, because the interior of the guest house is completely decorated according to the standards of a four-star hotel. So how about the suite arranged for Ling Ziyue, just think about it.

After taking a shower, Ling Ziyue turned on the TV, and then called Ling Fei, who was far away in the United States. The couple talk on the phone at least once a week, and each chat will not be less than an hour.

After making the call, Ling Ziyue glanced at the time, nine and five o'clock. She usually goes to bed at ten o'clock, but today she is a little tired after a day of running, so she wants to rest early.

Just as he was about to turn off the lights, he heard a knock on the door.

Ling Ziyue came to the door and looked out, it was a man in cleaning clothes, with a mask hanging on one ear and a peaked cap on his head.

"What's the matter?" Ling Ziyue asked.

The people outside looked left and right, looking very cautious, he took off his hat and whispered, "Secretary Ling, it's me." ”

Ling Ziyue took a closer look and recognized it as Zou Changyou, the executive deputy county magistrate of Mingbei County.

"How are you?" Ling Ziyue opened the door and asked.

Zou Changyou's face was anxious: "Can I come into the house and talk?" ”

As soon as Ling Ziyue let go, Zou Changyou entered the house.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late." Zou Changyou said apologetically.

Ling Ziyue closed the door and motioned for Zou Changyou to sit: "Why are you dressed like this." ”

Zou Changyou said helplessly: "No way, Qin Santai looks too closely, the door of the guest house is full of his people, just to prevent someone from coming to reflect the situation with you, if I don't wear this, I won't be able to enter at all." ”

This is the second time Ling Ziyue has seen Zou Changyou, the last time was in her office, and Zou Changyou reported to her about Qin Santai's corruption. Because there were many people who reacted to the situation, Ling Ziyue was not very impressed with him, but when she saw Zou Changyou at the gate of the Mingbei County Party Committee and County Government, Ling Ziyue suddenly remembered it, which is why she was stunned for a moment.

Ling Ziyue wanted to pour water for Zou Changyou, but Zou Changyou saw it and said, "Secretary Ling, don't bother, I'll come over and say a few words to you, and I'll leave after speaking." ”

Ling Ziyue still poured Zou Changyou a glass of water, sat down and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"Don't look at the fact that you haven't been in Nanhe for a long time, but just because you can meet me and listen to me so much, I can conclude that you are a good official. I won't repeat what I said last time, but I came to see you this time mainly to tell you about Qin Santai's re-election. ”

"Is there anything wrong with his re-election?"

"You should know that the first and second leaders of counties and districts with relatively good economies are all provincial management cadres, so their use and appointment power are in the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. Mingbei County is economically backward, so the first and second leaders are city management cadres. It stands to reason that if Qin Santai wants to be re-elected, he must be decided by the city, but as far as I know, his re-election is not decided by the city, but by the province. ”

Ling Ziyue was quite surprised when she heard this. She didn't squeak, but waited for Zou Changyou to continue.

Zou Changyou continued: "In our Nanhe, there is a person who is not a leader, but her words are better than many leaders, everyone calls her Sister Xing, have you heard of it?" ”

Sister Xing? Ling Ziyue shook her head, she had never heard of such a person.

"Sister Xing's name is Xing Lifang, and she is the lover of Secretary Fei Guangrong of the Provincial Party Committee."

Ling Ziyue's heart was shocked, so the matter of buying and selling officials is related to Fei Guangrong? Could it be that the big man in the province is Fei Guangrong?

Although her heart was turbulent, Ling Ziyue's face did not show half a point, after all, she had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and she still had this ability.

"You go on." Ling Ziyue said.

"Secretary Feng in the city doesn't want Qin Santai to continue to serve as the number one leader in Mingbei, and wants to arrange him to another place, it is said that it is an idle position, and there is already a new candidate for the number one leader in Mingbei. But just when Qin Santai's term of office was about to expire, he met with Xing Lifang, and then Qin Santai was successfully re-elected. Zou Changyou said that his mouth was a little dry, so he picked up the cup and drank it.

"This kind of thing can't be talked about, there must be real evidence."

"I don't know whether Qin Santai bribed Secretary Fei through Xing Lifang, but I have a recording." Zou Changyou took out a voice recorder from his pocket and put it on the coffee table: "In the county, Hu Yihu, director of the office of the county party committee, is a loyal fan of Qin Santai, so Hu Yihu knows a lot of Qin Santai's secrets. I have a little bit of a relative with Hu Yihu, and I usually get along well in the county, but during a meal, he drank a little too much, so he told me what I just said, and I secretly recorded it. There is a total of more than an hour, and you have time to listen carefully from beginning to end, Hu Yihu said a lot about Qin Santai. ”

Ling Ziyue glanced at the voice recorder on the coffee table, but did not reach for it.

Zou Changyou said again: "This recorder did not record all the conversations between me and Hu Yihu that day, because the power ran out later." Hu Yihu also said such a paragraph. Xing Lifang told Qin Santai that Secretary Fei's term of office will come after the two/session next year, and he will have no power at that time, and if he wants to find Secretary Fei to do something, he must hurry. Xing Lifang also said that if Qin Santai knows people from other counties who want to be re-elected, or who are quite the first and second leaders, he can introduce them to her, and the sooner the better. ”

After Zou Changyou left, Ling Ziyue lay on the bed and looked at the recorder, feeling sleepy.

Judging from Ling Ziyue's more than ten years of political experience, Zou Changyou's reporting and exposing Qin Santai behind his back does not mean that Zou Changyou must be a good person and a good official, he probably did this because his interests were damaged by Qin Santai, or that the spoils were unevenly distributed, and he couldn't fight against Qin Santai in the county, and he had no background backer in the city to help him rectify Qin Santai, so he sued the province directly. But judging from the current situation, Zou Changyou's reaction to the questions about Qin Santai should be true. In a national-level impoverished county, the county party committee and county government have built magnificent twin buildings, which is problematic in itself.

However, there are so many leaders in the province, and she is not the only one in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, why did Zou Changyou want to tell her? She thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out. Including telling her about Xing Lifang and Fei Guangrong. Not to mention that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, even if it is true, she is the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, how can she be the secretary of the provincial party committee?
