"The national government, corrupt and pervert the law! The people have no means of making a living! Zhou is just a scholar, and his life is no longer guaranteed! Not to mention the ordinary people of Guilin City? Zhou Yuantang said to Zhang Shaoyu solemnly.
"This is just nonsense!" Ning Zhiguo said with a weak heart.
"Shut up!" Zhang Shaoyu shouted to Ning Zhiguo.
"But what you said is true?" Zhang Shaoyu said to Zhou Yuantang.
"It's true! Commissioner, you may not have seen all this in Nanjing, but this is really happening in Guilin! Zhou Yuantang said to Zhang Shaoyu.
"You go on! I'm listening! Zhang Shaoyu said to Zhou Yuantang.
"I, Zhou Yuantang, am just a civilian! But I know that prices in Guilin are skyrocketing today! The refugees have not received a single piece of relief food! We're forced to pay a lot of taxes! I know that Guilin has undergone a new round of construction after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and a batch of funds have also been allocated from above! But in Guilin, I don't feel that much of this money is used for Guilin's urban construction and relief of refugees! Let the correspondent call the shots for us! Zhou Yuantang begged Zhang Shaoyu.
"What they say, it's true?" Zhang Shaoyu looked at Ning Zhiguo angrily.
"No, no, no! Commissioner, I said they are just a bunch of people, don't be fooled by them! Ning Zhiguo explained in a panic.
"Shut up!" Zhang Shaoyu roared at Ning Zhiguo.
"As the saying goes, a slap doesn't make a sound! People are doing it, and the sky is watching! If there were no corrupt officials in Guilin, the people would be so angry? Zhang Shaoyu questioned Ning Zhiguo.
"Don't worry, sir! I'll be sure to look into it at this point! Zhang Shaoyu assured Zhou Yuantang.
"Commissioner, our Guilin is really not what this group of people say, everything they say is purely slander against our Guilin municipal government!" Zhang Shaoyu, who Ning Zhiguo was afraid, said.
"Ning Zhiguo, the purpose of my coming to Guilin is to investigate the people's situation! I've got to the bottom of it! If it really has nothing to do with your city government, I'll let you go! If I get any evidence of your corruption, don't blame me for being ruthless! Zhang Shaoyu warned Ning Zhiguo.
After receiving a report from the local people in Guilin, Zhang Shaoyu secretly set up an investigation team in Guilin, and Zhang Shaoyu secretly chose Jiang Haoyu to serve as the leader of the anti-corruption investigation team.
After a month of investigation, Zhang Haoyu came to a conclusion.
But because of the influence of the Gui family for a long time, Jiang Haoyu has made Jiang Haowen his top boss. Therefore, Jiang Haoyu did not directly hand over the investigation report to Zhang Shaoyu, but handed over the investigation report to Jiang Haowen.
Jiang Haowen looked at the investigation report handed over to him by Jiang Haoyu seriously, and was so helpless that he could only say nothing.
"Big brother, what do you think should be done with this matter? You're giving me an answer! Jiang Haoyu asked Jiang Haowen.
According to Jiang Haoyu's investigation, Ning Zhiguo, the stationmaster of the Guilin Station of the Military Command and the mayor of Guilin City. There is serious corruption, just because his position is relatively special, and if he wants to be convicted, he needs to obtain the permission of both the top level of the Gui family and the top level of the military command.
As for Ning Zhiguo's embezzlement, in fact, Su Ben and Chief Zhang had already discussed with him before.
Su Ben hoped that he could let Ning Zhiguo go, after all, Ning Zhiguo was an excellent military commander agent. Whether it was during the Anti-Japanese War or on the issue of arresting the CCP, Ning Zhiguo had made countless contributions, and if Ning Zhiguo was dismissed or arrested now, the party-state and the military would lose an extremely good agent.
In order to prevent the relationship between the military commander and the Gui family from reaching an impasse, Chief Zhang ordered Jiang Haowen to let Ning Zhiguo go.
Although Ning Zhiguo is not a member of the Gui family, his hidden identity and his backstage in the military command, if he is easily moved, the Gui family will not be able to step down. Especially now that the military commander is working with the Gui family to formulate a top-secret plan, if Ning Zhiguo is captured now, the Gui family will be put in an extremely embarrassing situation.
At the least, it will affect the relationship between the Gui system and the military commanders, and at the worst, it will make it impossible to implement the "Plague Plan" jointly formulated by the Gui system and the military commanders.
So no matter what aspect it is, moving Ning Zhiguo now will only be harmful to the Gui family himself.
Jiang Haowen thought for a long time and put down the evidence of the investigation data.
"Just catch a few substitute ghosts and let Ning Zhiguo go!" Jiang Haowen said to Jiang Haoyu.
"What? Let Ning Zhiguo go? Big brother, do you know how much he is greedy? Guilin's five-year fiscal revenue is not so much! You're going to let him go like that? Jiang Haoyu asked Jiang Haowen.
"Less nonsense! This is not only my order, but also the request of Chief Zhang! Let him go! Jiang Haowen said loudly to Jiang Haoyu.
Although he hated corrupt officials like Ning Zhiguo in his heart, Jiang Haowen could only obey the orders of the upper echelons unconditionally.
In the distance at the Guilin Station of the Military Commander, Liang Hui quietly listened to the conversation between Jiang Haowen and Jiang Haoyu.
In fact, just as Comrade Misty predicted, the military commanders within the Gui department were not cleared out, but instead installed the listeners in Jiang Haowen's office more and more rampantly.
"But Ning Zhiguo is a corrupt official!" Jiang Haoyu tried his best to refute.
"So what? Now the Gui family and the military commander are working together on a top-secret plan, "Project Plague"! In case we deal with Ning Zhiguo, which leads to the delay in the implementation of this plan by the military commanders, can you afford this responsibility? Jiang Haowen questioned Jiang Haoyu.
"I can afford it! If you check it out, you will hand me over to the top of the peak! Jiang Haoyu said firmly to Jiang Haowen.
"Fuck you! Jiang Haoyu, you're taking yourself too fucking seriously, aren't you? Who do you think you are? You're a fucking little minion in the eyes of Shangfeng! Do you still want to convict? I'm telling you, once this plan goes wrong! Don't say it's you, even if you take me and Chief Bai and Chief Zhang to kill more than a dozen times, it's not enough to eliminate Shangfeng's anger! Zhang Haoyu, don't take yourself too seriously! Even if you are my own brother, you can't afford to be charged with sabotaging the cooperation between the Gui family and the military system! Jiang Haowen said angrily to Jiang Haoyu.
"Is it possible to allow the corrupt behavior of a big corrupt official like this?" Jiang Haoyu questioned Jiang Haowen.
Jiang Haowen sighed deeply, stood up and glanced at Jiang Haoyu.
"Haoyu! Some things are not as simple as you think, and some things are really not controlled by you and me! Jiang Haowen said to Jiang Haoyu with his back to him.
"Big brother! You've changed! You're not my big brother anymore! Jiang Haoyu nodded helplessly, and the lost Jiang Haowen said.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'll always be your big brother! Jiang Haowen said to Jiang Haoyu unhappily.
"Nope! You're not my big brother! My eldest brother Jiang Haowen is an extremely responsible and righteous man! My eldest brother is an anti-Japanese warrior and a national hero! The current Jiang Haoyu is just a bureaucrat who goes with the flow! It's just a wall grass that talks about people and talks nonsense! What's the difference between you and them? You are nothing but a government moth in the garb of an anti-Japanese hero! Jiang Haoyu yelled at Jiang Haowen angrily.
Jiang Haowen slapped Jiang Haoyu angrily, looking at Jiang Haoyu with a hideous look in his eyes.
"Get out! ! Jiang Haowen yelled at Jiang Haoyu.
"Get out of here!" Jiang Haoyu covered his face and left Jiang Haowen's office.
After Jiang Haoyu left, Jiang Haowen threw a large pile of documents in the office to the ground. Then he threw the cup full of coffee to the ground.
Jiang Haowen wanted to scold angrily, but he couldn't say a word by Jiang Haoyu's words.
Jiang Haowen still did not change his mind in the end, and three days later, he handed over several officials who embezzled a small amount to Zhou Shaoyu, and Zhou Shaoyu took these people to Nanjing to return to life.
Ning Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly congratulated himself that he had finally escaped.
And Zhou Yuantang and the others also quieted down, although the biggest corrupt official was not caught. But in Zhou Yuantang's eyes, it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to dispose of a group of moths of the national government and make decisions for the people.
Only Jiang Haoyu, because of this incident, the contradiction between him and his eldest brother Jiang Haowen has risen to a level again.
I thought that the eldest brother would enforce the law impartially and deal with these corrupt officials.
But he didn't expect that the eldest brother had been in the Gui army and the government agencies in Guilin for a long time, and he would become a wall grass that went with the flow.
In Jiang Haoyu's heart, he already has a lot of dissatisfaction with his eldest brother Jiang Haowen, but he has nothing to do.
