The reason why Xia Bicheng suddenly came up with this idea that even he felt a little absurd was because he found some common quality that could only be understood and not expressed from the gaze and expression of Secretary Lu and Ye Ming; The second reason is that he suddenly recalled a rumor about Secretary Lu that he heard from Wang Hai by accident again.

Although Xia Bicheng is Secretary Li's cronies, and has always been cared for and cultivated by Secretary Li, but, out of the need to balance the relationship, and also out of a subconscious self-protection psychology, Xia Bicheng has been secretly maintaining a good relationship with Wang Hai, Secretary General of the Provincial Party Committee, and Xie Hongda, Minister of Organization of the Provincial Party Committee. It is used to connect feelings and strengthen friendships.

Secretary Li actually knew that Xia Bicheng had these small actions behind his back, but because he was only the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection at that time, he had not entered the Standing Committee, and he had no ability to further help and promote Xia Bicheng, so he still understood Xia Bicheng's behavior of currying favor with Wang Hai and Xie Hongda at that time, and he did not blame him, and he really had no prejudices against him in his heart.

However, in the past year, Secretary Li has found that Xia Bicheng has played balance a little too much, and he is also sleek and sophisticated, and he has a bit of a taste of wall grass, so Secretary Li, who is upright, has a little opinion on Xia Bicheng and a little bit of prevention, which Xia Bicheng himself can feel, so he is very anxious now and eager to regain Secretary Li's trust.

As for the rumor about Secretary Lu when he was young, Xia Bicheng heard it from Wang Haikou.

It was not long after Secretary Lu was transferred to Tianjiang, and once, Xia Bicheng invited Wang Hai to eat live fish in a fish restaurant, and the two of them drank a few more glasses of wine, and the conversation became more and more speculative.

When talking about the new provincial party secretary Lu Zhiyao, Wang Hai suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Director Xia, let me tell you a big secret: according to a friend of mine in the capital, when the new secretary Lu Zhiyao was working in the Tuan zhōngyāng, he once went to the Chinese Department of Capital University to study part-time for two years, and in these two years, he had made extremely serious mistakes in his style, and he was almost punished for this, if it were not for his father-in-law's high position and power, this matter was suppressed, Secretary Lu is likely to be a mediocre and mediocre cadre now, it is impossible to be as beautiful as he is now, and it is impossible for him to come to Tianjiang to be a feudal official, hehe. ”

When Xia Bicheng heard this passage at that time, he was surprised, and hurriedly asked about the specific process.

Wang Hai borrowed a little strength from wine, so he told him this matter in detail.

It turned out that Wang Hai had a good relationship with Li Weidong, a deputy ministerial-level leader of a certain ministry in zhōngyāng, and this Li Weidong was the colleague who worked with Secretary Lu Zhiyao in the Tuan zhōngyāng and went to the Capital University to study and get a diploma together, that is, the villain who wrote a letter to the Capital University and the Tuan zhōngyāng to expose the ambiguous relationship between Secretary Lu and Zhao Han.

Li Weidong has been a little unlucky since he told Lu Zhiyao that he did not fall: Lu Zhiyao's father-in-law Gu Shenghao greeted the leaders of the regiment at that time, and has been suppressing his promotion and promotion, and has been working in the regiment for more than ten years, until Lu Zhiyao became a ministerial-level leader, he was almost still standing still, and finally waited for Gu Shenghao to die, he found an opportunity and was promoted to the position of deputy minister, but at this time, he was already in his fifties, It's hard enough to make progress.

For this reason, Li Weidong hated Lu Zhiyao so much that he wanted to report Lu Zhiyao's style again after Gu Shenghao's death, but so many years have passed, and the Zhao Han of that year has disappeared without a trace, even if he goes to sue, he can't find any evidence.

What's more, the current head of zhōngyāng No. 1 is Gu Shenghao's original secretary, and he has a very good relationship with Lu Zhiyao, if he rashly mentions the past of Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds, he is likely to steal chickens without eating a handful of rice, and maybe he will be suppressed and dealt with again because of this.

Therefore, he could only accept his fate, bury his bitter hatred for Lu Zhiyao in his heart, and didn't even dare to talk to ordinary people about Lu Zhiyao's past, because he knew very well: If he went around to tell people about it, once Lu Zhiyao or the No. 1 leader knew about it, his political life might come to an abrupt end, and the consequences would be unpredictable.

It's just that he was really unwilling in his heart, so he told Lu Zhiyao's "ugly thing" to a few people who had a particularly good time, including Wang Hai...... From Wang Haikou, Xia Bicheng learned that when Secretary Lu Zhiyao was studying at Capital University, he had a relationship with a younger sister named Zhao Han, and his wife also went to the school to make a big fuss and beat that Zhao Han.

According to Wang Hai, the female student who had an affair with Secretary Lu is from Tianjiang Province...... When thinking of the name "Zhao Han", Xia Bicheng suddenly remembered the name of Ye Ming's mother: Ye Han, Zhao Han and Ye Han, although the surnames are different, but the pronunciation of the name is the same, so what does this mean.

At this time, a series of questions began to emerge in Xia Bicheng's mind: a dignified provincial party secretary, when he was inspecting Xinleng County, he made a special trip to worship an ordinary rural middle school teacher for what he wanted to do, he went to Xinleng twice, and he had to stay in Ye Ming's dilapidated house twice for Lu, he was busy every day, but he spent so much tongue and effort for what he wanted to do to be a matchmaker for an ordinary local tax cadre.

The most important thing is: In addition to the feat of saving Secretary Li Runji, Ye Ming doesn't seem to have any amazing deeds worth boasting about.

What's even more unreasonable is that Secretary Lu's daughter Lu Nianzi and son-in-law Zhang Linjiang are both powerful figures in the capital, and it is difficult for ordinary local officials to meet them, but these two people actually ran over from the capital for a little woman who had an affair with Ye Ming, and completed the procedures for the secondment of this little woman to the Ministry of Finance within a few days, if it weren't for any particularly major reason, or, if it weren't for Secretary Lu's instructions to the couple, This is never possible.

For this reason, Xia Bicheng came to an astonishing conclusion: Ye Ming is likely to be the illegitimate son of Secretary Lu, and even if he is not, he should have a deep relationship with Secretary Lu's family.
