Chapter 1740

December 1996 was definitely an eventful autumn for the officialdom of Changshan County and even Yulin City. In this month, too many things happened that shocked the eyes of onlookers.

First was Deputy County Magistrate Su Xinghui being investigated. Who was Su Xinghui? He was the most prominent figure in Changshan County this year and also the son-in-law of Deputy Provincial Governor Lu Zhenghong. To be investigated because of an anonymous letter? This was clearly wanting to frame him. Everyone could guess who the person framing him was.

The investigation team investigated in Changshan County for many days but didn't find any results. Then, the major event of the investigation team leader Jiang Zhongping molesting a female announcer of Changshan Television Station occurred. Almost no one could understand why Jiang Zhongping would do such a thing.

A few days later, Deputy County Magistrate Fang Qing was caught in adultery while having a tryst with a lover more than ten years younger than her. This was already explosive enough. But who knew the materials exploded by her lover were even more explosive: Fang Qing had slept with more than a dozen former and current county and city leaders over the years. This was naked power-sex trading. The reason Fang Qing was able to become deputy county magistrate was through such disgraceful means.

The most explosive thing was that in the list of these dozen or so county and city leaders, there was actually the current Yulin City Mayor Ren Guisheng. What concept was this? This was the number two figure in Yulin City's political scene, a high-ranking cadre with high position and great power, usually appearing dignified, but now such a scandal was exploded.

However, even the most conspiracy-minded people wouldn't link this matter to Su Xinghui's counterattack, because this matter was exploded from Fang Qing's side. Usually, Fang Qing's relationship with Su Xinghui was quite good. No one knew that behind Su Xinghui being investigated, there was Fang Qing's shadow.

Everyone just thought this was Ren Guisheng's bad luck, just happening to be caught in adultery by Meng Lan, and just happening that Fang Qing's little lover was cowardly and told the inside story, implicating Ren Guisheng.

And the series of actions by the province and the city afterward let everyone know that Ren Guisheng was finished, and his political life was basically over.

The City Commission for Discipline Inspection interviewed Fang Qing and Zhao Yangang, and subsequently suspended them from their duties for investigation. And the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection interviewed Ren Guisheng. Although there was no processing opinion yet, the work he was in charge of had been handed over to other deputy mayors, and in fact, he was also in a state of suspension.

The families of the more than ten people who had an affair with Fang Qing were also in chaos. Such ugly things, if not exploded, even if their families knew about it, could be tacitly understood. But after this matter exploded, the contradictions they had accumulated before concentrated and exploded.

Now these parties were all in trouble both internally and externally. Even those who had retired were now interviewed or reprimanded, plus the quarrels of their family members, they were all exhausted.

There was a retired deputy mayor on the list who was already nearly seventy years old. After this matter exploded, he was also interviewed by the Commission for Discipline Inspection. After returning home, he had a fierce quarrel with his wife, resulting in a stroke and hemiplegia.

These things, as well as the details of Fang Qing having relationships with those city and county leaders exploded by Section Chief Pi at the time, became topics of conversation for people in the officialdom of the entire Changshan County and even Yulin City. These days, whenever everyone met someone, they would ask, "Have you heard?"

Then they would describe these details to each other again. If they heard some details they hadn't heard before, they were all excited.

These leaders who were usually high above and dignified were now presented nakedly in front of them in such a way. This was truly too interesting.

There were also those "ducks who knew the warmth of the spring river first" who keenly felt that there would be huge changes in the officialdom of Yulin City and Changshan County. At least Ren Guisheng's mayor position, as well as Fang Qing and Zhao Yangang's deputy county magistrate positions, couldn't be kept. This vacated three heavyweight positions, not to mention that there might be others implicated, and others might also fall.

Therefore, starting from now, quite a few people sharpened their heads wanting to climb up. People running for official positions started running to the province and the city from now on. It was conceivable that this would be another round of bloody slaughter.

Yulin City's investigation team soon produced the investigation results on Su Xinghui. The investigation results were that the several matters reported in the report letter were all groundless. Comrade Su Xinghui was an excellent cadre who was loyal to the Party, clean and honest, and had both virtue and talent.

After such a conclusion came out, those who supported Su Xinghui breathed a sigh of relief, while those who kicked people when they were down during the investigation suddenly raised their hearts. Su Xinghui escaped this disaster; would he settle accounts with them afterward?

Su Xinghui was as calm as ever. He never felt that this level of attack could knock him down. As for whether to settle accounts afterward, he also felt there was no need. There were too many people who liked to kick people when they were down. If he settled accounts with everyone afterward, would he still have the energy to do other things?
