Chapter 397: Fanning the Flames, Continuing to Ferment

When Division Chief Qian and his party went to Su Yang's hometown to arrest Su Yang, they met Vice Governor Zhou Weiguo. This news spread instantly in the officialdom of Ganzhou.

This was like a bomb thrown into the water, causing a huge uproar. Some people guessed that this was some people dissatisfied with Vice Governor Zhou and wanted to disgust Vice Governor Zhou before leaving.

Some people also felt that this was a stupid act. Although Vice Governor Zhou didn't successfully succeed as Governor, can't people go to other provinces to take office?

Is there no possibility of going to the ministries and commissions in Beijing to take office?

Of course, more moderate people thought that this was because Zhou Vice Governor failed to compete for the Governor, and some people couldn't sit still and wanted to jump out and make some trouble.

After all, many people have wanted to seek profit in the provincial projects in the past two years, but they have all been curbed by Zhou Weiguo's iron-fisted means. These people must be dissatisfied with Zhou Weiguo.

But when this matter reached the ears of Wang Tao and Tian Xiaofei, they didn't think so, because they knew very well what the situation was.

Maybe there are other factors in this, but it is mainly the two of them who are making trouble here.

But at this moment, their mood is also very depressed.

Taking Su Yang is a good thing, and slapping Su Yang's face is also what they want to see, but kicking the iron plate when hitting Su Yang and directly hitting Zhou Weiguo is unexpected.

The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time. Wang Tao couldn't imagine what the result would be after Zhou Weiguo was angry.

Because he is different from Tian Xiaofei, putting aside the identity background, Tian Xiaofei does not hold a post in Ganzhou Province, but he is actually working in the Provincial Party Committee Organization Department. Once the thunderous anger comes down, he might have to be beaten.

"Young Master Wang, what should we do? I didn't expect such a thing to happen. The key is that the people who do things are also pig brains."

"I have already seen Vice Governor Zhou, and I am still stupidly wanting to rely on handcuffs, wanting to rely on people. Isn't this looking for death?"

Tian Xiaofei lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in front of the window. After pacing for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his brain, and then he said, "Actually, you don't have anything to be afraid of. After all, it was Su Yang who tore down the fire brigade's seal first, and it was he who ignored the law first. The joint investigation team went down, which is also a matter of course."

"It's just because

"If we do nothing now and just stay here waiting, we probably won't get any good results. Only by taking the initiative can we trade for a glimmer of hope."

"Besides, don't you use your brain to think? Why did the Publicity Department and the Public Security Department intervene so quickly this time?"

"The root cause is that Zhou Weiguo was competing for the position of Governor, but he failed. Now that the Governor is already in place, his path for advancement has been blocked."

"And I have already received news in Jingcheng. Of course... this news was originally confidential, but I won't hide it from you now. Since Zhou Weiguo couldn't take a step forward this time, the best result might be being transferred to another province to continue serving as Executive Vice Governor."

"So his influence in our Ganzhou Province will drop sharply. You know how the officialdom is; it's like sailing against the current—if you don't advance, you retreat."

"Especially at his level, although he appears to hold high power, in reality, his opponents are just as powerful. Many people have their eyes on what we are doing."

"So do you understand what I mean? Should we take action or not?"

Wang Tao heard this and thought it made sense; as a cadre in the Organization Department, he understood these things all too well.

If Zhou Weiguo had been promoted directly this time, no one would have dared to act recklessly, and no unit would have dared to follow them to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, he asked, "What should we do now, Young Master Tian? Should I do as you say?"

Tian Xiaofei was very pleased with himself, thinking to himself that for someone with a dog-like brain like yours to have made it this far within the system, it can only be said that you have a lucky life.

Then he said, "I already told you just now, the internet is virtual. Even if you say something, he won't know who said it."

"How about this, I'm a bit sleepy and plan to lie down for a while. You continue to post comments online, saying that someone is trying to use power to block law enforcement, hinder judicial justice, and doesn't take the interests of the common people seriously."

"And this kind of behavior is officials shielding each other. Of course, in this, you must emphasize clearly that someone is the protective umbrella behind Su Yang, and also Su Yang's future father-in-law."

"In this way, it will stir up a huge uproar again. The common people are already very resentful of these privileged classes. Once these things are said, there will be overwhelming public opinion. Never mind that he is already a dismissed Vice Governor; even if he were still in office, under these circumstances, he would probably be in deep trouble."

"And think about it, how many people are watching this matter from behind the scenes? As long as it succeeds, I don't need to help you; naturally, many people will speak for you. It's not impossible for you to even take a step up directly, becoming a Deputy Minister or going to a prefecture-level city to serve as a member of the Municipal Standing Committee or Minister of the Organization Department."

"And you are so young to be a Deputy Minister of the Provincial Organization Department; I don't need to say much about your future prospects."

With this series of sugar-coated bullets rolling down, Wang Tao had long since lost himself.

He immediately posted, "The joint law enforcement team led by the Provincial Public Security Department was actually blocked by Su Yang's protective umbrella, causing individual power to override the law and seriously hindering the fairness and justice of the judiciary."

"If this continues, what hope do we common people have? Who will protect our interests?"

Sure enough, less than two minutes after this post was sent out, the comments section exploded.

"My god, what is this situation? Is this kind of person really above the law?"

"Hurry up and say it, who is this protective umbrella? I want to dig up their family's ancestral grave."

"Who is so shameless? This kind of thing used to be done in the open without the slightest concealment. Truly, when one person attains the Dao, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If this continues, have we at the bottom really become beasts of burden?"

"No matter what wrong they do, as long as they have a good father-in-law to stand up and say a word, it's settled. What if he kills or commits arson?"

"Who is this? So shameless, I demand that we human-flesh search him out."

"Yes, yes, yes, find the protective umbrella behind Su Yang, we want to drown him with the spit of the masses."

"That's right, they all say they serve the people, but the result is that they only care about their own interests, using the power the people gave them as a protective umbrella for illegal acts."

"If the authorities don't give us an explanation for this matter, we will go to the province to petition."

Just as they said, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

At this moment, Tian Xiaofei was as pleased as he could be. Because this matter was caused by public opinion, even if the top leader stood up now, they might not be able to suppress it by force.

He now only needed to quietly watch Su Yang obediently go to the relevant departments to surrender; otherwise, this deadlock could not be resolved at all.

Just as he expected, this matter not only alarmed the top leader of the Provincial Committee, Sha Rui, but also alarmed the newly appointed Governor Zhao Xingbang and Executive Vice Governor Huang Dacheng.

Provincial Party Secretary Sha Rui immediately convened a three-person group meeting for this reason.
