Chapter 230: Conspiracy and Tricks

After Provincial Political and Legal Committee Secretary Liu Tuo was transferred to Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary, the responsibility on his shoulders became greater.

However, after arriving at the Discipline Inspection Commission, he realized that it was a long way to go to make each office work like an arm, and every deputy secretary had a force behind him, and even the section chiefs of several supervision offices and petition offices were not idle people.

The intricate relationship network was like a huge spider web, densely intertwined within the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, and the interests were entangled and unclear.

In such an environment, the promotion of many works was hindered and did not achieve the expected results, and some things were often left unsettled.

Liu Tuo knew that to break the current deadlock of the Discipline Inspection Commission, he must find a suitable opportunity to win over a group of people, reuse a group of people, and suppress a group of people.

On September 20th, the Executive Vice Provincial Governor held a banquet at Qinchuan Hotel to celebrate Le Xueren's smooth appointment as Vice Provincial Governor, and only invited a few "direct troops," including Provincial People's Congress Deputy Director Zhang Tao and Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Deputy Secretary Lü Taichang.

For Le Xueren's appointment as Vice Provincial Governor, Duan Pengfei was very happy because another "capable general" was added to his camp, so he spared no effort in Le Xueren's affairs and pushed it forward with all his might, completely treating it as his own business.

The banquet started, everyone's face was filled with joy, the private room was full of laughter, everyone toasted each other, complimented each other, and it was very lively.

Just as they were drinking vigorously, Le Xueren's phone rang, and it was his second brother Le Xueyi calling.

Le Xueren went to the bathroom to answer the phone, and his expression was a bit serious after coming out.

Duan Pengfei asked in a low voice, "Nothing happened, right?"

Le Xueren shook his head and said, "It's okay, a little broken thing, it's just a bit disgusting!"

"Tell me, if it can be handled, just handle it directly. There is no need to be an outsider between us!"

"Hey, let's not talk about it, it affects the mood of the brothers! Come, I toast everyone a glass, thank Duan Provincial Governor and you for your consistent support!"

After touching the wine, Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Deputy Secretary Lü Taichang said, "Provincial Governor Le, we have known each other for many years, and we watch and help each other, which can be described as deep feelings and heavy righteousness. If there is really a troublesome thing, with Provincial Governor Duan presiding over the overall situation, everyone can give ideas, and the problem will surely be solved!"

People's Congress Deputy Director Zhang Tao also said, "Xueren, if there is a problem, handle it, don't affect the mood, don't be an outsider with everyone!"

"Hey!" Le Xueren sighed and said, "More than ten years ago, in my hometown, because of a small problem, I had some unhappiness with a family in the village. Over the years, the contradiction has not been resolved, and because of some things, we hurt each other, and I didn't expect it to become a world enemy! Now, the child of this family has some achievements, and he served as Deputy County Chief of Ningyang County in his twenties, and was rated as a National Excellent Educational Worker for two consecutive years!"

Duan Pengfei said thoughtfully, "Is it called Lu Fan? I seem to have seen it in the Provincial Party Committee's notification. I didn't expect him to have such a short grievance with you! Xueren, although it is better to resolve than to knot, we all know about rural things, and some hatreds cannot be resolved at all. I think we should take action when we should, so as not to raise tigers and cause trouble! A Deputy County Chief in his twenties, if he develops in his term, he will likely become a big trouble in the future, so it is better to pull him out by the roots as soon as possible!"

"Hmm, Provincial Governor Duan is right!" Lü Taichang echoed, "This potential threat must be strangled in the cradle. However, he is a Deputy County Chief now, so we must have reasons and evidence to do things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"That's right, if you don't kill the snake, you will have three sins, and if you let the tiger return to the mountain, you will harm your own family. Don't have the benevolence of a woman when treating enemies!" Zhang Tao said coldly.

"Don't worry, Xueren, it's not a big deal!" Duan Pengfei finally made a knife, "Hidden dangers must be eliminated, just a clown! Taichang, it is most appropriate for your Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission to take action. Since he is a Deputy County Chief, he will not be clean!"

Lü Taichang promised simply, "It's a small matter, I'll set up a special case group, point-to-point 'blasting'! Director Zhang was the Director of the Audit Department before, and there must be capable people in his hands. We must support and cooperate with the special case group, and it may get twice the result with half the effort!"

Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Although I have retired to the People's Congress, some comrades still miss old feelings. People in the audit aspect are guaranteed to be in place, but you have to issue a letter and go through the procedures."

The few looked at each other and smiled, as if they had decided the fate of a Deputy County Chief in an instant!

For Lu Fan, a real storm was about to come...

After going to work the next day, Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission Deputy Secretary Lü Taichang began to work on the matter discussed last night. He first called the Director of the Petition Reception Office to his office to ask if there were any report letters about Ningyang County Deputy County Chief Lu Fan.

A Deputy County Chief, the Director of the Petition Office would not care, but the leader took the initiative to ask, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately returned to the office to collect.

Unexpectedly, after "rummaging through boxes and cabinets," he really found a few letters, which were report letters reporting Lu Fan for retaliating against two principals. However, this matter had been handed over to the Yingjiang Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission for disposal and had been settled.

Getting these report letters, Lü Taichang was a bit speechless, because this did not constitute a fatal blow to Lu Fan, and according to experience, this matter was 80% groundless.

Lü Taichang was a bit surprised, is this Lu Fan an honest official?

Then, he found Director Wang Qing of the Third Supervision Office, handed the report letter to him and said, "Deputy County Chief of Ningyang, look at it first!"

After a quick browse, Wang Qing said, "Secretary Lü, please instruct!"

Lü Taichang said seriously, "This Lu Fan has big problems. The provincial leaders instructed to resolutely take him down. See if there are any breakthroughs."

"Secretary, these report letters are of little use, and the Yingjiang Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission has already closed the case. If you must take this person down, you have to find another way. I think he will have problems in other aspects."

"Wang Qing, the leaders attach special importance to this matter, and I want to hand it over to you."

"Your instructions, I will naturally go all out!"

"The opportunity is rare, handle things beautifully, and I will recommend you to the leaders. It is estimated that there is no problem in entering the Standing Committee!"

Wang Qing was overjoyed, secretly rejoicing that he finally waited for such a "private job"!

He stated his position without hesitation: "Secretary, please rest assured, I will personally deploy and pay attention to the whole process, striving to bring this corrupt element to justice in the shortest time!"

Lü Taichang smiled slightly, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Good, it must be handled strictly, heavily, and quickly. If you encounter problems, report to me at any time! If you need the cooperation of the Audit Department, I will come forward to coordinate."

Returning to the office, Wang Qing attached great importance to this case and decided to set up a special case group to go to Ningyang for a secret visit first. In his concept, a mere Deputy County Chief was just a piece of cake, and he could easily take him down and then ask for credit and rewards from the leaders!

When considering the candidates for the special case group, Wang Qing first selected Section Chief Yang Chengyu of his subordinates as the team leader. As for the members, the first one to pass was Wang Yujia. People who even the Secretary was polite to, fools knew he had a background. It was safer to worship such people, and it was better to do work.

After a week of preparation, on the day of the National Day holiday, the special case group of 22 people led by Section Chief Yang Chengyu of the Third Supervision Office of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission went to Ningyang, including several comrades from the Hanjiang Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission recommended by Le Xueren, and several "elite soldiers" from the Provincial Audit Department.

Wang Yujia's "apprentice" Zhang Tianmin was also transferred to the special case group. Before leaving, he specifically greeted his "master," saying that he received a task and had to leave the unit for a few days.

Wang Yujia asked casually: "Mysterious, where are you going?"

Zhang Tianmin whispered: "Master, originally I couldn't say, there is discipline. But it's not a big deal, go to Ningyang County, Yingjiang City to investigate someone."

Wang Yujia doubted: "A small county, is it worth the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission going down? Is it making a fuss?"

"Hey, who says it's not? No way, the leader explained, so I can only go there!"

Wang Yujia didn't take it seriously: "Bring me something delicious when you come back, and tell me if there is anything fun!"

"No problem! Master, no one will serve you when I leave, you have to be self-reliant!"

"Without you, I won't live? Go with peace of mind, work hard, and strive to make contributions!"

The National Day holiday arrived, and Lu Fan, Du Wenlong, Yang Minghao, and Xia Li had long made a strategy, driving straight to Mobei to enjoy the scenery of the north.

The most comfortable thing in life is three or five close friends, traveling together. In the next few days, the group saw the vast desert, the magnificent mountains, the sparkling lakes, tasted special delicacies, and had a great time.

However, just as Lu Fan was enjoying the pleasure brought by the journey, a sudden storm was quietly approaching Ningyang. The secret visit group of the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, like a mysterious army, quietly stepped into this city. This special case group composed of more than 20 elites shouldered an important mission—to conduct a comprehensive secret visit and investigation on Lu Fan, trying to uncover the possible violations and disciplinary actions behind him.

Days passed, and the secret visit group searched for clues everywhere, but the investigation was ineffective.

Because Lu Fan's work performance was almost perfect, and there was no trace of violation of law and discipline.

Not only that, Lu Fan enjoyed a high reputation in Ningyang. Whether it was cadres or the masses, their evaluation of him was basically positive, and many people even praised him.

Yang Chengyu realized that this case was more complicated than he imagined, and all kinds of questions surged into his heart. But this time, the Director exhorted many times that he must get the iron evidence of Lu Fan's violation of discipline, and the task assigned by the leader must be completed no matter what.

So, the special case group was divided into two, one group stayed in the county to continue deep investigation; the other group rushed to Baishu Bay without stopping to visit secretly.

On October 7th, Lu Fan ended his beautiful journey and embarked on the return journey.

However, at this moment, he was completely unaware that a huge crisis was quietly waiting for him.

The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and Lu Fan arrived at the unit on time as usual, throwing himself into the busy work of a new day. ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
