They said they wanted to investigate, but Peng Taiping knew too well that this matter was true, it must be true. His younger brother liked to take such advantages too much. This said it with nose and eyes, and he also knew the names on it. They were indeed his and Peng Siping's cousins and nephews.

But to be honest, Peng Taiping didn't know about this matter before. If it were a few years ago, Peng Siping wouldn't be afraid to do this kind of thing, and Peng Taiping wouldn't stop him at all. But the situation this year is different. Su Xinghui came, and the Peng family in Xiaohu Village could no longer cover the sky with one hand. Doing such a thing could not hide from people.

Although Peng Taiping was responsible for the audit of this year's disaster-stricken dangerous house renovation funds, he didn't look at the list reported by various villages carefully this time, nor did he personally go to the village to verify it, but threw it to his subordinates. This is also his consistent work style. As long as it is work that can be handed over to others, he will not do it himself.

This time, the staff under him verified it and reported to him that there was no problem with the list, so he signed it. Unexpectedly, Peng Siping played tricks in it and was reported. Peng Taiping hated it in his heart. Siping, Siping, your family is not short of money, why take such an advantage? It's fine to take it before, but you still do this this year, isn't that looking for trouble for yourself?

Now, even Peng Taiping himself will be implicated. After all, he was auditing this matter. He didn't audit it out, which is dereliction of duty. And because Peng Siping is his younger brother, others don't know how they will look at him, Peng Taiping. If they think it was him, Peng Taiping, who deliberately let Peng Siping do it, then it will be troublesome.

At this time, Peng Taiping didn't think that his cousin who was a deputy department-level official could protect him. Su Xinghui's background was too heart-palpitating. A deputy department-level official really wasn't enough to look at in front of him.

Peng Taiping had already decided that he must strive for the initiative in this matter, and he must show an attitude.

Peng Taiping said angrily, "Secretary, Town Mayor, what is said in this report letter must be true. No need to investigate. This says it with nose and eyes, and the names inside also match. The houses of these families are indeed built well, and they should not be dangerous houses."

Qi Jian said, "You know these families? Oh, also, Peng Siping's cousin and nephew are also your cousin and nephew."

Peng Taiping said with a painful face, "Secretary, I want to admit my mistake to you. When verifying that list, I didn't go to the village to verify it personally because other work was too busy, but sent Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang said there was no problem with the list, so I signed it, and didn't look at the list in detail. This is my dereliction of duty."

Peng Taiping is trying to extract himself. At least he cannot carry the charge of deliberately letting Peng Siping embezzle. If it is just dereliction of duty, the punishment will be much lighter.

Qi Jian and Su Xinghui looked at each other. What Peng Taiping said should be true, because it is very easy to verify this matter. It seems that Xiao Wang didn't want to offend Peng Taiping, so he blurred the verification of this matter. After all, Peng Taiping's power in Pengjiawan was too strong before.

Qi Jian said, "Then Old Peng, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Peng Taiping said decisively, "It must be handled seriously. The influence of this matter is too bad. However, Secretary, I have a request. Can you let me do Siping's work and let him explain the problem to Secretary Chen himself?"

Qi Jian hesitated. The town sending someone to investigate and Peng Siping taking the initiative to explain the matter are two different concepts. If he explains it himself, it counts as surrendering, and the circumstances will be much lighter.

Peng Taiping quickly said, "Secretary, I am not for Siping, I am for my old mother. My mother has always lived in Siping's house. She is almost 80 years old this year. If she sees Siping being taken away, she will not be able to bear it. Please rest assured, Secretary, I will let Siping come to the town to explain the problem early tomorrow morning. If he doesn't come, you can do whatever you want."

Qi Jian looked at Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui said, "Secretary, since Secretary Peng can do Peng Siping's work, I think this is okay. Our party's policy is to learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, and cure the sickness to save the patient."

Qi Jian then said to Peng Taiping, "That's good, Old Peng, I will give you one night. You go do Peng Siping's work. Before 8:00 AM tomorrow morning, let him explain the situation to Comrade Xianyi. If there is really the situation mentioned in the report letter, handle it as it should be handled. If it exceeds 8:00 AM, it will not count as surrendering."

Peng Taiping nodded, "Thank you, Secretary, I will rush back to Xiaohu Village tonight. Also, Secretary, in this matter, I was derelict in my duty and have an unshirkable responsibility. Now I am old, so I propose to the Secretary to resign from the position of Deputy Secretary of the Pengjiawan Town Party Committee."

Qi Jian and Su Xinghui looked at each other again, then said, "Old Peng, it is the flood season now, you want to resign, don't do it at this time. However, I will report your resignation request to the county party committee."

Peng Taiping nodded and said, "Thank you, Secretary."

After speaking, Peng Taiping went out. His back looked a bit hunched, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
