Chapter 701: Thunderbolt means

Han Zhixiong's face turned pale. He naturally knew about this kind of thing. In fact, this was an unwritten rule that existed everywhere. By the afternoon, basically no one was in many government agencies and public institutions, not to mention that day was Saturday, a weekend, and the water conservancy station staff had all gone home early.

It wasn't necessarily going home. Like Han Zhixiong himself, that afternoon he went to play mahjong and drink with a few friends.

Since it was an unwritten rule, it naturally couldn't be put on the table. Because leaders themselves often weren't in the office by the afternoon, no one would ask about their whereabouts.

But because it was an unwritten rule, it couldn't be put on the table. Han Zhixiong couldn't tell Su Xinghui that everyone was like this, so you couldn't just blame their water conservancy station alone.

Han Zhixiong stammered, "That afternoon I went to patrol the embankment, so I wasn't very clear about the situation at the station. This is my negligence, my dereliction of duty. I will go back and rectify the style of work properly."

Su Xinghui said, "This is a critical period for flood prevention and disaster relief. Your water conservancy station doesn't even have anyone on duty. What if there is some danger?"

Han Zhixiong slandered in his heart, it's only May now, what danger can there be? But he naturally didn't dare to say anything. Although it was only May, the flood prevention and disaster relief work had already begun.

Han Zhixiong nodded repeatedly, "I know, Mayor, it won't happen again, it won't happen again."

Just when Han Zhixiong thought this matter had passed today, Su Xinghui said leisurely, "How come I heard someone say that you didn't go to the embankment on Saturday afternoon, but seemed to be playing cards at Peng Xiangfa's house? After playing cards, you were the one who treated the guests to a drink at the Chaochao Restaurant. You seemed to have won two hundred or so that day, tsk tsk, it's almost a month's salary. Your luck is good, Director Han."

Han Zhixiong was terrified. If these words came from the mouths of other leaders, he wouldn't care. Maybe he would even shamelessly invite the leader to have a drink. But these words came from Su Xinghui's mouth, which was different. Originally, the psychological pressure Su Xinghui gave him was already too great.

Su Xinghui knew Han Zhixiong's actions that afternoon like the back of his hand, and it was a bomb suddenly thrown out when Han Zhixiong had no psychological preparation, which suddenly stunned Han Zhixiong. His brain was blank, and he had no way to deny it.

Han Zhixiong was speechless, not knowing what to say. Su Xinghui didn't urge him, just looked at him coldly.

After a long while, Han Zhixiong said, "Mayor, I was wrong. That day they insisted on dragging me to play mahjong. I won't dare to do it next time."

Su Xinghui said, "Is that so? How come I heard that you were the one who invited others, and I also heard that you basically go to play mahjong every afternoon? In Pengjiawan, you, Director Han, are called the God of Cards, winning more and losing less, right?"

Han Zhixiong's face turned gray, as if he were mourning. Seeing him like this, Su Xinghui was too lazy to say anything more to him. He waved his hand and said, "Go back and reflect first, waiting for the organization's handling of you."

Han Zhixiong walked out of Su Xinghui's office in a daze, just in time to see Zhang Lihui standing at the door of his office, looking over here. Seeing Han Zhixiong come out, Zhang Lihui waved to him.

Han Zhixiong entered Zhang Lihui's office. Zhang Lihui asked, "What did Mayor Su want with you?"

Han Zhixiong told Zhang Lihui the conversation he just had with Su Xinghui word for word. He said to Zhang Lihui, "This is Su Xinghui wanting to take action against me, Mayor Zhang, you must save me!"

Zhang Lihui said, "How can I save you? This is you not being promising yourself. You at least have to be able to stand firm yourself. Now is a critical period, aren't you sending a small pigtail for others to grab?"

Han Zhixiong said, "Mayor Zhang, you must save me. Isn't this because I listened to you that I'm being retaliated against by him?"

Zhang Lihui was furious, "I let you mess around? I let you go play cards during work hours? You even blame this on me?"

Han Zhixiong looked at Zhang Lihui pitifully. Zhang Lihui's tone softened a bit, "How about this, Old Han, keep your tail between your legs during this period. If Su Xinghui wants to punish you or something, it still has to go through the Party committee. We will all speak for you then."

Han Zhixiong said, "Mayor Zhang, then you must speak for me!"

Zhang Lihui waved his hand, "Got it, you go first."

Just the day after Han Zhixiong's talk with Su Xinghui, he was taken away by the county discipline inspection commission. This matter shocked the entire Pengjiawanzhen. Everyone thought this was Han Zhixiong not cooperating with Su Xinghui's work and being retaliated against by Su Xinghui, directly inviting the county discipline inspection commission to catch people.

For a time, everyone in Pengjiawanzhen was in danger. During this period, they were also paying lip service to the work arranged by Su Xinghui. If Su Xinghui followed the same pattern and took them away too, what should they do?

So someone found the town discipline inspection secretary Chen Xianyi. They looked indignant and said that investigating and dealing with cadres of this level like the water conservancy station director should be the responsibility of the town discipline inspection commission. By what right did the county discipline inspection commission cross-level handle the case? Wasn't this not giving Secretary Chen face?

Chen Xianyi said helplessly that he couldn't withstand the county discipline inspection commission either. This time the county discipline inspection commission came to take people without notifying the town discipline inspection commission at all, and directly took people away.

Han Zhixiong's family members ran to the town government courtyard to make a scene, saying it was Su Xinghui's retaliation that made people take Han Zhixiong away. This was naked persecution.

Su Xinghui stood out. He talked directly to Han Zhixiong's family members. As soon as Han Zhixiong's wife saw him, she stepped forward wanting to tear and fight with him, but was pulled away by deputy mayor Jiang Chunfang.

Su Xinghui said righteously to Han Zhixiong's wife, "Whether your Han Zhixiong has problems, you should know best in your heart. What you need to do now is prepare to help him actively return the stolen money to reduce his crimes. If everyone knows what he did, I think many people will be more angry than you."

Han Zhixiong's wife was already guilty. How could she not know what her man did? She came here to make a scene purely because she was incited by others. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to come here to make a scene. Hearing Su Xinghui's words, she felt even more guilty.

She said stiffly, "What problems can my Old Han have? What a joke! Forget it, I won't talk to you."

After finishing, she hurriedly pulled her family away.

Han Zhixiong's wife's anticlimax made many people secretly suspicious: did Han Zhixiong really commit some big event?

In less than two days, the news came out. What Han Zhixiong committed was indeed a heaven-shaking event.

In the process of purchasing flood control materials over the years, Han Zhixiong used means such as falsely reporting prices, falsely reporting quantities, and passing off inferior goods as superior to embezzle a total of hundreds of thousands of yuan in national flood control funds. Now, he couldn't withstand the interrogation of the discipline inspection commission and had already confessed everything.

This news once again shocked the entire Pengjiawanzhen collectively. Many common people were very angry. This flood control fund was money related to the lives of all the common people in the town! Han Zhixiong even dared to embezzle this kind of money? If Han Zhixiong were in front of them now, I'm afraid he would be beaten to death by these angry common people.
