Chapter 144: The Power of Gossip

"Stability is a prerequisite. Comrades, we must never forget this. Song Qingming said slowly, "Therefore, I think it is still necessary to issue some compensation to the farmers who symbolize their surnames." Of course, on the issue of the whereabouts of Wu Tianshu, the boss of the Scorpion God Liquor Group, our political and legal departments cannot take it lightly, find Wu Tianshu as soon as possible, and figure things out. ”

Everyone knows that Song Qingming is making peace with the mud. However, as the secretary of the provincial party committee, Song Qingming really couldn't find a better way than this.

And Xie Maolin must also inherit Song Qingming's favor. Otherwise, the results of today's Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee will only be even worse.

As soon as Song Qingming said this, the other Standing Committee members couldn't say anything. Besides, this kind of thing does not have any conflict of interest with most members of the Standing Committee, and no one wants to come out and offend Governor Xie Maolin.

Xie Maolin was not very surprised by Gao Dongyang's performance at the Standing Committee today. After all, in Xie Maolin's view, the problems of Tianma Mountain and the Scorpion God Liquor Group were exposed in one day, and it must be Gao Dongyang who was acting as the driving force behind the scenes. As for whether there is still the shadow of Song Qingming, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, behind this, Xie Maolin is not clear.

What worries Xie Maolin is that Zhao Dongfang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, suddenly jumped out, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, which makes people have to think deeply.

Originally, if Song Qingming, secretary of the provincial party committee, left Chunan Province, the candidate for secretary of the provincial party committee would be the most likely to be between Governor Xie Maolin and Zhao Dongfang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, in addition to someone sent by the central government. But now, the central government has no intention of letting Song Qingming leave Chunan Province for the time being, Zhao Dongfang just jumped out, didn't he seem too anxious?

At the provincial and ministerial level, everyone is not simple. Zhao Dongfang has been able to tolerate it for so many years, and now he jumps out all of a sudden, naturally it is not as simple as it seems!

But Xie Maolin can't manage so much now, because he can't find his brother-in-law Wu Tianshu! What kind of role Wu Tianshu is, Xie Maolin naturally knows very well in his heart.

Regarding Wu Tianshu's life and death, Xie Maolin didn't care much. But the problem is that Wu Tianshu was able to illegally raise so much money, and there were still too many official wives standing behind him, including Xie Maolin's wife Gongsun Fang.

Gongsun Fang and Gongsun Sheng of Tianma Mountain are siblings, but Wu Tianshu is a half-brother and sister, and there is no blood relationship. Therefore, the relationship between Gongsun Fang and Wu Tianshu since childhood was not very good. It's just that since Gongsun Fang married Xie Maolin, the governor of Chunan Province, Wu Tianshu will come over to be courteous to Gongsun Fang when he has nothing to do.

Xie Maolin often lamented that many things in this life are bad for his wife Sun Fang. Gongsun Fang, this woman, is too self-righteous, she always thinks that she will put herself in the safe when she marries into the red wall, so she pretends to be a picture of the truth everywhere.

Gongsun Fang's sense of superiority was even violently criticized by the old chief, who warned her not to feel that she was dressed up as a Bolshevik by wearing a red coat.

The old chief also reminded Xie Maolin: "Maolin, you have to take care of your wife, don't let you shake off all the foundations of your Xie family." ”

Xie Maolin also talked to Gongsun Fang seriously, but Gongsun Fang couldn't listen to it at all, she was determined to eat her old book in this life!

In the provincial capital of Liusha City, Gongsun Fang made a circle, surrounded by some people who were stained red and green. Not to mention, they just have the privilege of being able to do anything.

Help people get land for approval, what is in demand to help people get anything, Gongsun Fang is very famous!

And the Scorpion God Liquor Group, although it was made up by Wu Tianshu, can indeed rely on the signboard of Gongsun Fang, the "governor's wife". Wu Tianshu Jian took the wrong side, did not advertise in the regular media at the beginning, and at the same time did not publish authoritative news through any department, completely took the civil route, and took the mysterious "scientific" route.

They used pyramid schemes to quietly spread the huge returns of the Scorpion God Wine project in the circle of friends, and the target was to focus on some female bosses or official wives.

Gongsun Fang, such a woman, has a lot in her hands, and every woman is naturally convinced when she hears that the person in charge of the project is the wife of the provincial governor Xie Maolin. And the first money is in the hands of Gongsun Fang, and within two months, you can get 10% of the dividends.

The temptation is getting bigger and bigger, and the participants are fighting for their heads. Some of these official wives and female bosses couldn't raise funds, and they even asked people to plead with Gongsun Fang and them!

In just a few months, Gongsun Fang and her sisters have successfully fought a crazy battle to accumulate wealth like a snowball in the name of Scorpion God Wine, and the amount of illegal fundraising has already exceeded one billion!

Xie Maolin is most worried now, where did this huge amount of money go?

Xie Maolin naturally knew in his heart that although he was the governor of a province, his salary and bonus were only so much. Besides, Xie Maolin himself has always been honest and honest as an official, and he doesn't have much concept of money.

But over the years, people in officialdom can't help themselves, and Xie Maolin's expenses in the capital are also very huge. And these expenses are all taken care of by Gongsun Fang. Xie Maolin didn't count how much money he had spent over the years, he only knew that it was a huge amount!

Because of this, Xie Maolin turned a blind eye to some of Gongsun Fang's actions. But I didn't expect that it would be such a bitter fruit so far!

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and people were going to be unlucky, and they would be choked when they drank cold water.

Under the mediation of the Liusha Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Axe, coupled with the fact that each farmer who paid a deposit for the scorpion seed was given some symbolic compensation, the crowd surrounding the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Political Axe finally dispersed, and Xie Maolin was relieved.

But the very next day, the Hong Kong Times magazine published a front-page headline entitled "The Mainland's Most Sleepable Secretary So Far Chief."

The content of the article seems to be quite novel and interesting, but people of insight have moved their eyes to the end of the article, which is the most eye-catching.

It has been learned that during his less than one year as director of the Agricultural Economic Bureau, Chen Guangpi opened more than 1,300 rooms in hotels, an average of four rooms a day, and he can be said to be the most sleepable director of the bureau on the mainland so far.

In the Agricultural Economic Bureau, Chen Guangpi held the financial power in his hands, and even if the six deputy directors under him bought a box of pins, they had to be approved by Chen Guangpi, the director, first. However, Chen Guangpi himself opened four rooms in the hotel every day, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of these deputy directors. According to internal sources, it was precisely because of the real-name report of one of the disgruntled deputy directors that Chen Guangpi was disgraced. Of course, those who are familiar with the unspoken rules of mainland officialdom know that the evidence that Chen Guangpi opened a room in a hotel alone is not enough for the Commission for Discipline Inspection to take 'shuanggui' measures against him.

So many people have to ask: Why did Chen Guangpi open so many rooms in the hotel, and could he sleep?

The article then revealed that most of Chen Guangpi's rooms were for loan sharks. Obviously, as the director of the Agricultural Economic Bureau, Chen Guangpi borrowed a lot of usury, because the social personnel who lent usury were too tight to collect the money, and even ran to the outside of the conference room to block Chen Guangpi and prevent him from presiding over the regular meeting of the unit!

Chen Guangpi is not a scoop or a gambler, and he is quite honest as an official. But Chen Guangpi is very addicted to officials, and he borrowed these usury loans in order to invest in the Scorpion God Liquor Group and lay the foundation for his future career.

Many people want to ask, what is the relationship between investing in Scorpion God Liquor Group and Chen Guangpi's career?

At the end of the article, it was pointed out that the Scorpion Shenjiu Group illegally raised more than 2 billion yuan, and more than half of this was embezzled by the financial personnel of the provincial and municipal organs.

The officials and cadres who embezzled public funds to invest in the Scorpion God Liquor Group are far from being the only ones Chen Guangpi. The difference is that Chen Guangpi took the form of borrowing usury to invest, while other officials and cadres adopted the method of embezzlement of public funds. In comparison, Chen Guangpi, who was too honest, suffered a big loss!

What made Xie Maolin furious was that this time, the front-page headline of the Hong Kong Times magazine not only restated Wu Tianshu's identity as his brother-in-law, but also named Chen Guangpi to say that all the cash obtained by Chen Guangpi from loan sharks was handed over to his wife Gongsun Fang!

Xie Maolin was so angry that he didn't notice the second article of Times Magazine, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be so angry that he would vomit blood!

The title of this article is "The Sorrow of the Director", which is written about the director of the land bureau of Xitan City who embezzled a large amount of public funds to invest in the Scorpion God Liquor Group, and after learning that Wu Tianshu, the boss of the Scorpion God Liquor Group, absconded with donations, he was desperate and left a confessional suicide note, jumping from the sixth floor of the Land Bureau, ending the story of his short life.

And Xie Maolin didn't have time to be angry, because suddenly news came from the top of the capital: Gongsun Fang was shuanggui!

Gongsun Fang is not only the wife of Governor Xie Maolin, but also a deputy director-level cadre of the Liusha Municipal Taxation Bureau, so there is no doubt about adapting to the shuanggui measures.

Gongsun Fang was going to have an accident sooner or later, Xie Maolin had a premonition of this, but he never thought that it would come so quickly and so violently, and he was caught off guard.

However, Xie Maolin was not chaotic at all, insisted on going to work every day, and reviewed the documents for review as usual, and the VIPs who should be received still received the VIPs. When it was time for the meeting, Xie Maolin also sat firmly in Mount Tai in the conference room, and it seemed that Gongsun Fang Shuanggui had nothing to do with him, the governor.

In fact, Xie Maolin's anxiety and panic in his heart at the moment are something that no one can understand, nor can anyone understand. No matter what the outcome is, Xie Maolin must carry it alone and carry it to the end.

What's the use of being angry, it doesn't matter what's the use. Xie Maolin lit a cigarette and smoked it in a fog, and the cigarette became his most intimate partner at this time. Looking at the strings of green smoke spit out of his mouth, Xie Maolin pondered about his life, just like this smoke ring that rises, he can't see the clearest side in the leisurely swing, and it will never fall on himself!

When the sky was bright again, Xie Maolin woke up from the sofa. Last night, Xie Maolin basically didn't sleep all night, handed himself over to the sofa, and then smoked one cigarette after another, smoked so much that his stomach turned upside down, ran to the bathroom and vomited a few times, and then came out and lay on the sofa and continued to smoke.

Xie Maolin still didn't understand who was planning to deal with him.

has dealt with Song Qingming, secretary of the provincial party committee, for many years, and they know each other well, Xie Maolin always feels that Song Qingming does not have the courage to have a head-on conflict with him. Besides, compared with Song Qingming, Xie Maolin thinks that he is much cleaner than Song Qingming, and he is more confident than Song Qingming in his heart.

Executive Vice Governor Gao Dongyang is known as the godfather of officialdom, and his methods are varied, and he is also the focus of Xie Maolin's suspicions. However, Xie Maolin was also a little uncertain, because from Gongsun Sheng of Tianma Mountain to Wu Tianshu of the Scorpion God Liquor Group, they were all his relatives, and Gao Dongyang had already mastered these situations, so there was no need to choose to make it out at this time.

What's more, Gao Dongyang is conceited and disdainful of playing this kind of carving insect trick using Hong Kong gossip magazines. Besides, as a ministerial-level high-ranking official, it is impossible for Gao Dongyang to break the unspoken rules of officialdom at will and shoot at the opponent's relatives.

Xie Maolin always felt that the way the opponent took this time was not like Gao Dongyang's method, but Xie Maolin himself couldn't say what the specific reason was.

Could it be the old guy Zhao Dongfang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee?

Xie Maolin had a headache, and he was always unsure who was playing tricks on him. It is no wonder that in this era, although the fighting methods of political opponents are diverse and the intrigues and tricks are endless, there has never been a precedent for using foreign gossip media to make a fuss!

What's even more puzzling is that a few consecutive reports in a small gossip magazine caused an uproar in the domestic officialdom, followed by a storm and a big wave of sand!

Xie Maolin felt that the sky was spinning, in fact, he understood that it was not the sky or the earth that was rotating, it was his heart. Love, and hate.

Xie Maolin suddenly thought of a very complicated question, what are you trying to do and what are you pursuing in your life? Some people say that Xie Maolin pursues power, and power brings him endless happiness, supreme honor, and the pleasure of being a successful man.

But Xie Maolin himself knows no, he is greedy for power, and he is eager to hold great power in his hands, but what he wants is by no means pleasure, let alone success in the eyes of the world.

What is it exactly?

Xie Maolin couldn't figure it out at once, he just felt that he was so tired, so desolate, and so helpless. Later, Xie Maolin thought of one word: the sin deserves it. Yes, everything is deserved. Xie Maolin destroyed himself with his own hands, destroyed the power in his hands, destroyed the light and power that power should have, and destroyed righteousness and justice.

What's even more terrifying, Xie Maolin infected this evil plague to many officials and cadres of all sizes in Chunan Province.

Xie Maolin was thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely change his mind, and he believed that those lost things could still be recovered, and he would definitely be able to!

But will anyone give him that chance?

Xie Maolin smiled bitterly and closed his eyes heavily.

"I'm not reconciled! I'm going to fight back! Xie Maolin let out a hoarse cry in his throat.
