Chapter 749: Allies Become Stepping Stones
In the final analysis, Zhao Lan can be regarded as Xia Lanshan's protΓ©gΓ©, when Xia Lanshan was in Hanzhou, he relied on Zhao Lan and cultivated him as his successor. Zhao Wei knows very well why he has come to the passive situation step by step, it is because Xia Lanshan left Hanzhou, and his biggest backer is gone.
Zhao Wei personally rushed to Qiongjin and came to Xia Lanshan's office. Xia Lanshan had foreign affairs activities this morning, but seeing Zhao Wei's anxiety, he pushed off other work.
"Secretary Lanshan, please help me." Zhao Wei said in a depressed tone.
Xia Lanshan didn't speak, he was silent for a long time, and said, "What's going on?" β
Zhao Wei gave Xia Lanshan a reaction to the question. Xia Lanshan sighed for a long time and said, "Zhao Wei, if you want to solve this matter, it is too difficult, and I am not completely sure." β
Zhao Wei said: "I can hand over all the money." β
Xia Lanshan said silently: "Now that the matter has been revealed, the money must be handed over, but even if you can spit out the money, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the organization's accountability." β
Zhao Wei sighed and said, "Is there really no way out for me?" β
Xia Lanshan still has some friendship with Zhao Class, when they worked together, if it wasn't for Zhao Class's full support for him, it would be difficult for Xia Lanshan to fully control Hanzhou, and if Zhao Lan fails now, it means that he will not have a trustworthy person in Hanzhou. Hanzhou officialdom has completely lost its grasp and control, and Xia Lanshan will lose a crucial bargaining chip in the provincial government.
Xia Lanshan wanted to help Zhao Rank, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally analyzed and came to a pessimistic conclusion that Zhao Grade no longer had any chance.
Xia Lanshan has another layer of consideration, this has become a dead knot, if he participates in it, will he drag himself into the water?
Xia Lanshan said slowly: "I can only suggest that you change your strategy now, recognize the current situation, strive for leniency, and take the initiative to explain to the relevant departments the facts of your violations of law and discipline, and the money that should be handed over must be handed over to ......."
Zhao Wei's face turned pale for a while, realizing that he had no way out now.
Zhao Wei walked out of Xia Lanshan's office like a dead heart, Xia Lanshan shook his head helplessly, in fact, Zhao Wei came to this point step by step, and he felt guilty in his heart, because of his deliberate laissez-faire.
If Xia Lanshan had strict requirements for Zhao Wei at the beginning, then Zhao Wei would definitely not become like this. Xia Lanshan originally suppressed Hu Gang, so he intended to cultivate Zhao Lian, gave him all kinds of green lights, and even helped him suppress the matter of the palace bar.
Over time, Zhao Wei developed an arrogant atmosphere.
If Xia Lanshan is still the secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee, he may be able to pull Zhao Lang along, but today is different from usual, Xia Lanshan has left Hanzhou, and if he interferes in the local government affairs of Hanzhou now, it will definitely attract the attention of others.
Xia Lanshan is only temporarily gaining a foothold in the provincial government, although the provincial governor Bu Yiren takes great care of him, but he is also ranked second among many provincial governors, Xia Lanshan is impossible for Zhao Wei to destroy the image he has worked hard to create in the government.
As for whether Hanzhou is still under his control, Xia Lanshan also thought clearly, the Su family arranged for Zhang Tianling to take over, this is actually a signal flare, and Hanzhou will eventually escape from his palm.
Xia Lanshan is a calm person, he knows the balance between giving and taking, although the loss of Zhao Wei will affect his strength, but when the strong man breaks his wrist, he still has to be resolute and decisive.
Zhao Wei was sitting in the car and received a call from Zhang Tianling, Zhang Tianling's meaning was very clear, and he hoped to have a conversation with him. Although the content of the conversation was not mentioned on the phone, Zhao Wei knew that it must be related to Luo Bing.
After returning to Hanzhou from Qiongjin, Zhao Wei went straight to the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee, Zhang Tianling saw Zhao Lao, pointed to the sofa, and said, "Old Zhao, please take a seat!" β
Zhao Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay." β
Zhang Tianling instructed the secretary to bring in two cups of tea, waited for Zhao Wei to take a sip of tea, and said: "Lao Zhao, many key departments of the municipal party committee have received a report letter about you today, and I want to hear your explanation." β
Zhao Wei glanced up at Zhang Tianling, this rookie secretary of the municipal party committee has a different style from Xia Lanshan, Xia Lanshan is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, he looks very serious on the surface, in fact, the style of the accident is more roundabout and never extreme, but judging from Zhang Tianling's way of governing during this time, his style is very tough, although he is polite every time he meets, he is definitely not soft when he should make a move.
Zhao Wei stiffened his head and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Tianling, I don't know what a complaint letter is. I became a party member at the age of 19, and I thought that I was worthy of doing things for half my life, and someone must have planted the blame on me. β
Zhang Tianling said regretfully: "Lao Zhao, you are a member of the Standing Committee and the most important cadre in Hanzhou, if you are willing to confess, I will plead with the relevant departments and strive for a chance to give you leniency." But if you still insist on going your own way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it, so I can only go through the process. β
Zhao Wei still behaves innocently, if it weren't for the evidence in Zhang Tianling's hands, he would even be a little skeptical about whether those report letters are true.
Zhang Tianling had to secretly sigh that Zhao Liang's strong psychological quality had put so much pressure on him, but he was still unmoved.
Zhang Tianling closed his eyes and said slowly: "Zhao Wei, I gave you one last chance to change your mind, and next time it won't be me talking to you." β
Zhao Wei slowly stood up and said, "The body is not afraid of shadows. If you want to fix me, then go ahead. β
After speaking, Zhao Wei smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and walked out of the office of the secretary of the municipal party committee steadily.
After Zhao Wei left, Zhang Tianling called Fang Zhicheng and said, "I have communicated with Zhao Wei just now, and he disdains the report letter. β
Fang Zhicheng said: "Did he have any specific reaction after reading the report letter?" β
Zhang Tianling smiled bitterly: "He didn't even ask to see the report letter......
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment and said, "He was trying his best to hide the panic in his heart, so he deliberately pretended to be indifferent, which can only show that he has panicked." β
Zhang Tianling nodded and said, "What should I do next?" Is it directly reported to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection? β
Fang Zhicheng said: "It is necessary to take two steps, first, to report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, so that they can arrange an investigation team to investigate Zhao Wei as soon as possible, and second, to arrange someone to follow Zhao Wei to prevent him from absconding." β
Zhang Tianling smiled: "You are very thoughtful, I will make arrangements later." By the way, there was something that surprised me, now that the news has spread, Zang Yi has not reacted in the slightest. β
Fang Zhicheng thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Zang Yi wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman. β
Zhang Tianling secretly wondered that Fang Zhicheng's thinking was really clear, and he also reacted to the reason why Zang Yi didn't help his allies.
There are no permanent allies in officialdom, only eternal interests, and when Zhao Wei loses his value, Zang Yi doesn't mind using him as a stepping stone to go further.
"Zang Yi is already planning for the position of executive vice mayor." Zhang Tianling thought with a sigh, even if he knew his intentions, but there was no good way to stop it, after all, Zang Yi had shown extraordinary ability in the past period of time, and if that position was empty, he was the most suitable replacement.
After chatting with Fang Zhicheng for a while about the situation of Zhao Wei's problem, Zhang Tianling gave instructions to Meng Da, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, asking him to supervise Zhao Wei's movements and not allow him to flee Hanzhou.
At about eleven o'clock that night, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Wan Heng, and Wan Heng said in a low voice: "Zhao Wei committed suicide in fear of sin, swallowed a large amount of raw gold, and died in the study. β
After Fang Zhicheng heard the news, he was slightly stunned, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart, after all, Zhao Wei came to the end, and he used his own tricks to push him to the cliff step by step.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly: "Zhao Wei is a person with an excellent face. β
Fang Zhicheng still knows Zhao Wei very well, he is a good-looking person, he has always been a hero of Hanzhou, and now he is found to have continuous problems, which will inevitably cause criticism from colleagues or ordinary people, how can he bear it?
Wan Heng paused for a moment and said, "The reason why I chose to commit suicide is probably because there are other reasons, where is the money going?" Zhao Wei has always liked to run events in Yanjing before. β
Fang Zhicheng knew what Wan Heng meant, and he was hinting that those ill-gotten gains might be related to some big names in Yanjing.
Fang Zhicheng sighed lightly and said, "Although the person is dead, what should be investigated still has to be investigated." β
Wan Heng said: "I have received a notice from the province just now, and Zhao Wei's matter is over." β
Fang Zhicheng was speechless, and said with a wry smile: "Then let's stop here." β
Zhao Wei is a provincial cadre, he has a problem, it is not a glorious thing, since he chose to die, there are leaders in the province hinted that the matter will be small and small.
After talking to Wan Heng, Fang Zhicheng drove to Luo Bing's village.
After seeing Luo Bing, she found that in just two days, she became extremely haggard.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "To tell you one news, Zhao Wei has committed suicide." β
Luo Bing was speechless, and after a few seconds, tears overflowed his eyes like a spring, "I hurt him...... It shouldn't be like this, if you are investigated, you will go to prison for a few years at most, why do you choose to die? β
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and comforted: "He is to blame, and it has nothing to do with you." He chose to die, either voluntarily, or realized that he had made too much mistake to face others. β
Luo Bing trembled and choked up: "If I knew that this was the result, I would never do this......"
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Pack up your mood, and please mourn as well." β
Fang Zhicheng didn't expect that the grudge with Zhao Wei would end abruptly in such a form.
