Chapter 583: Wan Ming is Using the Art of War!

After Yin Xidong returned to his office, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he dialed the phone number of Civil Affairs Bureau Director Wang Guopeng.

On one hand, he needed to get on the same page with Wang Guopeng.

On the other hand, he needed to vent the anger in his heart.

"Lao Wang, is someone investigating the matter of the cemetery land requisition funds?"

Wang Guopeng gave a helpless, bitter smile: "County Magistrate Yin, aren't you aware of the cemetery demolition compensation funds? Actually, I've thought it through; we should just deny everything and push it all onto Zhang Jinan."

Yin Xidong said irritably: "You need to have a backup plan! Zhang Jinan has absconded now, and the police are trying to find a way to catch him. If he gets caught, you need to have countermeasures ready!"

Wang Guopeng paused for a moment, a cold look appearing in his eyes: "County Magistrate Yin, I'm actually looking for Zhang Jinan too! This kid is too greedy. If he hadn't suddenly lost contact and had instead told me the truth about the misappropriated funds, I definitely would have helped him find a way. Since he didn't care about anything and just threw in the towel and ran, it would be best if he never appeared again."

"Lao Wang, I have a bad feeling. The New Year is coming soon; everyone should just stay steady."

"County Magistrate Yin, don't worry, this matter will absolutely not spread to you!" Wang Guopeng said coldly.

Yin Xidong did not know why, but he heard a chill in Wang Guopeng's tone!

In fact, the best outcome would be for Zhang Jinan to vanish from the face of the earth from now on.

Yin Xidong's relationship with Wang Guopeng was very complicated.

It was said that Wang Guopeng had connections in the provincial government.

Yin Xidong had always maintained a relationship with him that was neither too close nor too distant.

After hanging up on Wang Guopeng, the desk phone rang like a death knell.

Yin Xidong took a look; it was Tang Ye calling.

Even though he felt very repulsed, after answering, he tried hard to keep his tone calm: "County Magistrate Tang, do you have any instructions?"

Tang Ye said: "There are two things. First, you need to coordinate well with the township civil affairs departments. Starting next week, the county's main cadres must go down to the grassroots level to visit those on minimum living guarantees and those in poverty, and personally deliver the consolation money into their hands.

Second, I received a report a few days ago that someone in the Civil Affairs Bureau stole the information of village cadres to privately embezzle cemetery land requisition compensation funds. You need to handle this matter as a priority!"

Tang Ye felt that this group of people in the Suiyuan Civil Affairs Bureau was extremely unreliable.

This money was all charitable funds; if it were left to the Civil Affairs Bureau to distribute, there was no telling whose pockets it would end up in.

Gao Hong had reminded Yin Xidong in time.

Even though Gao Hong saw clearly all the twists and turns inside.

"County Magistrate Tang, I have a certain understanding of the cemetery land compensation matter. Guo Shulin was very close to Zhang Jinan before. Zhang Jinan could have chosen to place the cemetery in other villages at the time, but why was it built in Xiaoguo Village specifically?

During that process, the two might have conspired and reached a deal. The funds were definitely sent to Guo Shulin's account. Yet Guo Shulin believes that Zhang Jinan never gave him any word from start to finish; I think Guo Shulin is suspected of lying."

Tang Ye paused for a moment.

If he didn't have his own understanding of Guo Shulin, he really would have been fooled by Yin Xidong's sophistry.

Yin Xidong was truly cunning enough.

He directly lumped Guo Shulin and Zhang Jinan into the same category!

If Guo Shulin knew, he would definitely be driven mad with anger.

From this detail, one could see that Yin Xidong had problems!

"I am familiar with Guo Shulin; he is a village cadre with a bottom line and a conscience, and it is impossible for him to commit such an immoral act. I hope you will intervene and investigate this matter. I am worried that the cemetery land compensation for Xiaoguo Village is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are definitely other problems."

"I agree with your words. You have a friendship with Guo Shulin, but his words cannot be fully trusted. How about this: I will have Wang Guopeng report the situation to you personally tomorrow!"

Yin Xidong directly made Tang Ye face Wang Guopeng, which was a bit like playing the role of an absentee manager.

Tang Ye said in a deep voice, "Fine, I also want to have a good chat with Wang Guopeng. However, County Magistrate Yin, as the official in charge, if you habitually pass the buck when you encounter problems at work, that is not a good thing."

Yin Xidong thought to himself that Tang Ye was truly difficult to deal with, and he smiled and prevaricated: "County Magistrate Tang, you still don't understand me. I am someone who is particularly serious about my work! I will definitely take to heart the matters you have entrusted to me.

I will have Wang Guopeng conduct a self-examination and self-correction later, and tomorrow morning, he will personally bring the report to you. I must admit my mistake to you; there were lapses in past work, and I did not prepare well, which is why a fish that slipped through the net like Zhang Jinan appeared and caused a bad influence.

Please rest assured, I will definitely attach importance to this and give you a satisfactory answer."

"I don't need your answer. The Civil Affairs Bureau is an important window closely related to the people's livelihood; we need to be responsible to the people!"

After hanging up the phone, Yin Xidong pinched the bridge of his nose!

He did not expect Tang Ye to have such a powerful sense of oppression.

However, he still felt some respect for Tang Ye in his heart.

If it weren't for Tang Ye urgently handling the Spring Festival consolation money, he would probably have had to rob Peter to pay Paul to solve this problem.

Tang Ye directly used the method of soliciting donations and cost-sharing to help him handle this thorny issue.

Tang Ye sat in his office, studied Zhang Jinan's materials for a while, and then made a phone call to Wan Ming.

"I studied Zhang Jinan's reimbursement vouchers from the last six months and found that he often went to Luocheng, Yu Province. Zhang Jinan studied in Yu Province before; he must have some relatives, friends, or classmates in Luocheng. If we start from the taxi receipts and the hotels he stayed at, we can lock down his general area of activity."

Wan Ming said in surprise: "County Magistrate Tang, your line of thinking is brilliant; why didn't I think of that! I will notify personnel to head to Luocheng right now!"

Tang Ye stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "Now that the Spring Festival consolation money has been resolved, catching Zhang Jinan is no longer that urgent. I communicated with Yin Xidong, and regarding the special funds for cemetery land requisition, Yin Xidong directly pushed the responsibility onto Zhang Jinan. If the news that Zhang Jinan has been found is exposed, do you know what that means?"

Wan Ming's eyes lit up: "Someone will definitely panic, and they will try to find a way to find Zhang Jinan one step ahead of us! They have a close relationship with Zhang Jinan and definitely know more about his hideouts than we do. As long as we keep a close watch, we can use the tactic of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"

Tang Ye looked at Wan Ming in surprise, "Lao Wan, you're quite something, you've even started using the Art of War!"

Wan Ming laughed out loud, "Isn't it because I learned it from you! Dealing with this bunch of cunning guys requires fighting with both wit and courage."

Tang Ye stroked his chin and pondered, "You need to have people pay special attention to Guo Shulin. I'm afraid someone might do something to him."

Wan Ming nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I gave instructions a few days ago. Yesterday, a group of people snuck into the plantation in the middle of the night to destroy saplings. Although they were discovered in time, many newly planted saplings were ruined, causing great losses. Although they flatly denied being instigated by anyone, I feel there is something fishy about it."

"What?"

Tang Ye angrily clenched his fist and slammed the table, a cold look appearing in his eyes!

"These people are truly despicable!"
