Zhao Changfeng leaned back on the leather swivel chair and did not make a sound.

Li Shangyin looked at Zhao Changfeng's face, and the courage in his heart was a little bigger. The county magistrate Xiao Zhao did not express his position, which in itself was a statement. There are many times when the leader does not speak, in fact, he is already speaking, and the current attitude of the county magistrate Xiao Zhao is to encourage him, a silent encouragement.

"County magistrate, in fact, most of the leather shoe factories in Yuehai County use cowhides from foreign cowhides, and then Shazhen Tianlian Leather Shoe Factory takes advantage of its convenience of being a processing enterprise to import cowhides from abroad and resell them to other shoemaking enterprises." Li Shangyin said.

Zhao Changfeng had heard that smuggling was prevalent in coastal areas, but he had mostly heard of smuggling cars, motorcycles, watches, oil, and the like, and it was the first time he had heard of this smuggling of foreign cowhides, and he couldn't help but be curious for a while, wondering what was going on with this smuggling cowhide. He looked at Li Shangyin quietly for a while, and then frowned slightly and said, "Smuggling cowhides? ”

Li Shangyin knew that Zhao Changfeng had just been transferred from the mainland and was not familiar with the situation in the coastal areas, so he explained to Zhao Changfeng: "The main smuggling is African cowhides. Due to the large leather surface of African cowhide, the leather surface is neat, and the quality is much better than that of domestic cowhide, which is very popular in the market, and the leather shoe factories in coastal areas like to use African cowhide as a raw material for production. ”

Li Shangyin served as the executive deputy director of the Yuehai County Public Security Bureau, and often cooperated with the Yuehai County Customs to participate in some anti-smuggling and anti-smuggling operations, and was very familiar with the methods of smuggling and trafficking, he continued: "According to the normal import channels, the storage of a 20-foot container of salt-wet cowhide needs to pay 80,000 yuan of tax to the customs, and if the leather shoe factory buys imported cowhide through the processing enterprises, it only needs to pay 20,000 yuan to these processing enterprises, and the processing enterprises can use the Duty-inclusive imports' for them to import a twenty-foot container of salted wet cowhides. ”

"Of course, the so-called use of the 'tax import' method of imported cowhide is the country's bonded cowhide, according to national regulations, bonded imported cowhide is temporarily duty-free, but after processing must be used for export, and then to the customs to verify the bonded imported cowhide. However, it is difficult to distinguish imported cowhide from domestic cowhide after processing, and smuggling enterprises will exchange domestic cowhide strings for imported bonded cowhide to 'balance' the import manual to defraud the customs for verification, so as to achieve the purpose of tax evasion. ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded slightly, basically understanding what Li Shangyin meant.

Li Shangyin continued: "Some people have also reported the suspected smuggling of imported cowhide from Tianlian Leather Shoe Factory, but the Yuehai County Customs and the Yuehai County Public Security Bureau have taken several secret joint operations, but they have all come to naught, and then it will be stopped. I also led a team to cooperate with the customs operation, and I was very puzzled about how the news leaked. It wasn't until I received a secret report letter some time ago, saying that Deputy Secretary Qian Yunfeng and Director Chang Ziming had a close relationship with the owner of Tianlian Leather Shoe Factory, that I understood how the news of the secret joint operation leaked out. I originally wanted to forward this report letter to Guangdong Customs, but I thought that Chang Ziming usually had a good relationship with the customs, and I was afraid that there were internal ghosts in the customs. County magistrate, I think that you are familiar with the provincial leaders, and it would be much safer if you sent someone from above to investigate this matter, so I came to report to you. ”

Zhao Changfeng was shocked by Li Shangyin's report, but he scolded with a straight face: "Who told you that I am more familiar with the relationship with the provincial leaders? You can't talk nonsense if you don't have a basis! ”

Li Shangyin hurriedly stopped the conversation, and was very dissatisfied with Zhao Changfeng's words in his heart, and muttered Xiao Zhao, county magistrate, don't fake it, don't forget, the eyes of the masses are bright, Xie Fuhai, secretary general of the provincial political axe, and He Chengming, deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department, have seen the attitude towards you...... Zhao Changfeng said again: "Also, isn't it too rash to suspect that others have ties with the smuggling syndicate just because of an inexplicable report letter?" In particular, we should be cautious when the object of suspicion also involves some important leaders. He looked at Li Shangyin solemnly and said, "You also served as the executive deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, so you should be very familiar with the principles of handling cases, right?" Don't you understand the words "Mountains of Ironclad Evidence"? What are the serious effects of saying this everywhere? ”

Sweat came out again from the back of Li Shangyin's neck, and he hurriedly said: "County magistrate, you are right in your criticism, I am too rash." But I also know the proportions, and I have not mentioned this report letter to anyone except you. In my heart, I regretted coming to Zhao Changfeng to tell me about it, and my intestines were blue.

"As long as you know about this whistleblower letter, don't mention it to anyone." Zhao Changfeng glanced at Li Shangyin, and his tone softened, "As for the relevant situation of yourself that you reported earlier, I will send someone to investigate." Let's do it first. ”

Li Shangyin immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Changfeng's words, he immediately stood up, leaned over, and said to Zhao Changfeng gratefully: "County magistrate, thank you!" Then I won't bother you. ”

Walking out in a hurry, Li Shangyin's heart was full of joy. Although the county magistrate Zhao Changfeng did not give him a positive promise, saying that he would send someone to investigate was an attitude in itself. Why did County Magistrate Xiao Zhao change so much before and after? Although the county magistrate Xiao Zhao severely criticized him for being too rash, does the words "ironclad evidence" also imply that he wants to collect more evidence? With the status of Xiao Zhao's county magistrate, he will definitely deal with the opponent without a blow, and one blow will be enough to kill. Li Shangyin was convinced that as long as he could collect all the evidence that Qian Yunfeng and Chang Ziming were involved in the smuggling of the Tianlian Leather Shoe Factory, County Magistrate Xiao Zhao would definitely help him reinstate himself.

Zhao Changfeng leaned back on the leather swivel chair with a teacup, his eyes looked at the ceiling, and his heart fell into a deep shock. He couldn't have imagined that Qian Yunfeng and Chang Ziming, two people who controlled the political and legal system of Yuehai County, would be involved in the smuggling syndicate. If this news is finally confirmed, it is conceivable what kind of shock it will bring to the political arena of Yuehai County. It can be said that the powerful local cadre faction in Yuehai County will collapse by half at once.

In addition to being shocked, Zhao Changfeng immediately realized that this matter was about to bring him a turning point. If Qian Yunfeng, Chang Ziming and others fall because of this incident, then he will only face another local cadre force in Yuehai County, judging from the previous two months, Duan Zhikui, deputy secretary of the party and the masses, is still relatively easy to get along with Qian Yunfeng.

But it is not easy to verify this matter, even with the status of Executive Deputy Director Li Shangyin, he only has a report letter. Either the things mentioned in the report letter received by Li Shangyin are false, or Qian Yunfeng and others are too clever in hiding their skills. According to Zhao Changfeng's judgment, it is likely that Qian Yunfeng and Chang Ziming's camouflage skills are too clever, or at least it shows that there are important figures in the public security organs in Yuehai County who are involved in the smuggling group, otherwise it is impossible for the secret joint operation to always leak the news.

Zhao Changfeng stood up and walked to the window, he pushed open the window, and a rolling heat wave came from the surface, which was in stark contrast to the cool temperature of the high-power air conditioner in the room. Zhao Changfeng lit a cigarette and looked at a lush banyan tree behind the office building, this big banyan tree has lush branches and leaves, the crown stretches out, covering more than an acre of open space around it under its own shade, and countless aerial roots have grown on the huge branches that stretch out horizontally, many of which have been rooted in the soil underground, growing into a trunk the size of a bucket, becoming the overlord of this land.

Zhao Changfeng thought in his heart, isn't the small group of local cadres surrounding Qian Yunfeng like this big banyan tree with intricate roots? Through the mutual support of the aerial roots, fibrous roots and branches and leaves, a complete whole of interests is formed. If you want to eradicate this interest as a whole, you can imagine how difficult it is. If you are not careful, it is not a matter of startling the snake, but you will have to face a frantic counterattack by the entire interest group. Xuan Tianrong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Housha Town, laid a Hongmen banquet and a peach-colored trap at the Belvedere Fake Hotel is a good example!

Zhao Changfeng thought about it for a long time in his heart, and still felt that the decision he made in the first time was the most correct, first hinting that Li Shangyin was privately collecting evidence of Qian Yunfeng's participation in the smuggling group, and once the evidence was conclusive, then he would go to the province to find Secretary General Xie Fuhai to contact Director He Chengming of the Public Security Department, and Director He would come forward to communicate with the East Guangdong Customs, and then take action from top to bottom, catching Qian Yunfeng off guard. If Li Shangyin can't collect enough evidence, Zhao Changfeng's side will not move to avoid bringing truth to the opponent due to rash actions.

I was thinking about it, but I heard the chirping of my phone. Zhao Changfeng came to the desk, opened the drawer, took out his mobile phone and looked, but it was the phone number of his eldest brother Fang Tianlei, he smiled, he hadn't heard Fang Tianlei's loud voice for more than half a month.

"Brother Tianlei, I'm Changfeng." Zhao Changfeng pressed the button of his mobile phone and said with a smile: "The army is back from training?" ”

"yes, I'll be back for a few days." Fang Tianlei's loud voice came from the phone, "I'm going to Shenzhou City on a business trip tomorrow, you are half a landlord, but you have to prepare a few bottles of good wine to entertain me!" "Shenzhou and Yuehai are next to each other, which is an hour's drive.

"Ah, Brother Tianlei will be here tomorrow? Great, no problem! Zhao Changfeng was overjoyed, and he said happily: "I'll prepare a few bottles of Remy Martin for you!" ”

"Forget it, this Rémy Martin really tastes like horse urine, I can't get used to it." Fang Tianlei laughed and said, "It's better to drink the white bar left by our ancestors." Okay, I'm not going to tell you, I'll see you tomorrow! ”

Zhao Changfeng listened to the buzzing sound on the phone, and laughed secretly in his heart, Brother Tianlei is worthy of being a soldier, and he always has this fiery temper.
