China's difficulty in combating corruption is because officials protect each other. The crux of the protection of each other is that all officials are like iron chains, one by one. Once an official is investigated and punished, the corruption group is often brought out. Therefore, in the process of investigation and punishment, many officials often obstruct and obey lip service or even inform others for their own interests. Because of this, a prime minister who uses iron fist to cure corruption said that he would prepare a coffin for himself, which is not unreasonable.

In fact, the same was true for Yuan Linwei this time, but because Han Jianfeng had already greeted the province and the city in advance, it showed that he was retaliating against Yuan Linwei and would never make the case bigger. Then the superiors pinched their noses and recognized Han Jianfeng's series of actions in Jiangyin.

However, a county-level mayor who enjoys the treatment of a deputy department will be an important person no matter which prefecture-level city he is in. Such a person cannot be without provincial and municipal leaders who are concerned about his interests. For Yuan Linwei, the Wuxi city leader who is most concerned about his interests is executive vice mayor Liu Jianghai.

A week later, although Yuan Linwei had been transferred to the procuratorate by the Commission for Discipline Inspection, it can be said that his story has ended, but another story triggered by him has just begun.

That morning, Liu Jianghai was walking back and forth in his hotel room, looking very irritable. In fact, since the news of Yuan Linwei being regulated, he has been very irritable every day, just like those days when women feel uncomfortable every month.

Liu Jianghai couldn't figure out how Yuan Linwei was beaten by Han Jianfeng so easily. Although Han Jianfeng, the secretary of the municipal party committee, serves as the member of the Standing Committee of Wuxi, Yuan Linwei is also the mayor after all. Even if Han Jianfeng uses all his resources in the province, it will be a long struggle to overwhelm Yuan Linwei. Not to mention that he had reminded him before, asking him to be careful of Han Jianfeng's preemptive action. Even if he is stupid, he will at least be concerned about things related to his black hat. But now the fact is that Han Jianfeng only took one night to break half of the Jiangyin sky, while Yuan Linwei's idiot was still confused and ignorant.

Of course, Liu Jianghai knew about Yuan Linwei's dirty things in Jiangyin, but in Liu Jianghai's opinion, it was too ordinary for administrative cadres to indulge their relatives in doing illegal and irregular things, so he didn't care too much. However, he did not expect that such negligence had evolved into what he is now.

Liu Jianghai continued to pace the room in distracted. Just as the clock in the room rang ten o'clock, the door of his room was also knocked at the same time.

When Liu Jianghai heard the knock on the door, his eyes lit up first, and then he remembered his identity when he was about to go up and open the door two steps. So he stopped again and sorted out his appearance slightly. He only walked over to open the door when the other party knocked on the door for the second time.

Outside the door was Liu He, the secretary of Xiao Hongkun, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. When Liu Jianghai saw Liu He, he immediately put on a very caring smile and said, "Secretary Liu said it was 10 o'clock and it was indeed very punctual."

"Mayor Liu has been too awarded. I am just a strong sense of time. Why? Isn't Mayor Liu going to let me in?" Liu He said.

Liu He's words were obviously very disagreeable, and it also made Liu Jianghai feel very unhappy. However, Liu Jianghai knew that some things he had to rely on now to rely on the celebrity in front of the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. So although he knew that the other party was actually lower than his, he could only knock down his front teeth and swallow it and smiled: "Secretary Liu, you saw that I was a little excited when I saw you, and I forgot it all at once. Secretary Liu asked me to come in."

Liu Jianghai said this, and then invited Liu He into the room. After Liu He entered the room, he sat directly on the sofa and said to Liu Jianghai: "Mayor Liu, I have to rush back to Secretary Xiao in the afternoon, so I won't be too polite to you."

Liu Jianghai smiled and said, "Secretary Liu, what you said is too obvious. Secretary Liu can just say whatever he wants."

Liu He said to Liu Jianghai: "How could Han Jianfeng and Chen Ping take down such an important person as Mayor Liu and Mayor Yuan Linwei so easily?"

Facing Liu He's question and his tone that basically equals questioning made Liu Jianghai slightly angry. Although Yuan Linwei was dismissed as the executive vice mayor, I heard that someone in the province nodded in this matter. Didn't you, Liu He, have you not heard of any news?

However, Liu Jianghai is an old official after all, and then he realized that he was going to discuss things with the other party, so he suppressed his anger and replied to Liu He: "Secretary Liu is like this. Han Jianfeng did not play according to the routine. He did not act against Mayor Yuan. Instead, he privately instructed his confidant to deliberately conflict with Mayor Yuan's son Yuan Shu in a miserable place, and then asked the Political and Legal Committee to focus on dealing with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is so young, she is no match for Han Jianfeng at all, so he was quickly pried open. Secretary Liu must have known what happened later."

Liu He nodded and said, "Yes, I know everything, and I think I even know more than Mayor Liu."

Liu Jianghai frowned unhappily, and Liu He smiled and said, "Mayor Liu, please don't be angry, because according to the information I have received, the person who had a conflict with Yuan Shu at the Celebrity Club is not someone else, but Chen Ping, the mayor of Huashi Town, who Han Jianfeng relied on."

"Yes, it's him. Does Secretary Liu think I don't know?" Liu Jianghai said.

"Mayor Liu misunderstood. Of course I don't mean that," said Liu He. "I just want to say that Chen Ping and Yuan Shu had a conflict that night. In fact, it was not the instructed by Han Jianfeng, but his own actions."

Hearing Liu He's words, Liu Jianghai blurted out in surprise: "Secretary Liu, are you saying that Chen Ping deliberately had a conflict with Yuan Shu in the club that night. As for Han Jianfeng's behavior of making trouble in this matter, it was all done by Chen Ping? How is this possible? He is just a small town mayor, so how could he mean to a municipal party secretary?"

"Mayor Liu, don't be excited. Actually, I was surprised when I heard this news. However, although this is unruly, it is still very likely to be on Chen Ping," said Liu He. "First of all, the relationship between Han Jianfeng and Chen Ping cannot be judged by ordinary relationships of superiors and subordinates. This can be seen from the appointment of Chen Ping at the beginning. Han Jianfeng would have to appoint Chen Ping if he wanted to make trouble in Wuxi City. Ordinary leaders would not do this. Secondly, after Mayor Yuan was pulled down, although Chen Ping was still the mayor, he was obviously idle compared to the past. Is this situation not obvious enough?"

Liu Jianghai said: "Indeed, no matter how harmonious the relationship between superiors and subordinates is, it is still a relationship between leaders and subordinates. Chen Ping's approach is not in accordance with the rules and is normal to be idle."

Liu He continued: "Also, I don't know if Mayor Liu still remembers what I said. I said Han Jianfeng is nothing, only Chen Ping below him is the real difficult target."

Listening to Liu He's words, Liu Jianghai pondered for a while, and then said, "Secretary Liu, do you mean to find a way to deal with that Chen Ping first?"

"It's at all costs, we must deal with him."

Liu He said this, which surprised Liu Jianghai very much. Liu He knew that Liu Jianghai was wondering what he was wondering, so he continued: "Mayor Liu, if you check Chen Ping's resume, you can understand that he is just an official scoundrel, and there will be problems wherever he goes."

"He was first in the Pingjiang District Women's Federation in Suzhou, which was a cold yamen, but soon after the Pingjiang official earthquake broke out, and six members of the Standing Committee were removed from office; then Zhangjiagang, I think Mayor Liu should know this more than me. First, he accepted bribes and the provincial affairs, and then Mayor Liu, you were transferred away; now he has arrived in Jiangyin, and one mayor and two cadres were pulled down, which still made the whole Jiangyin uneasy. But the problem is that no matter what the situation occurs, Chen Ping can always take advantage of the situation," said Liu He. "If we don't take such a person away from Han Jianfeng, we will not be able to deal with Han Jianfeng with peace of mind."

After saying that, Liu He paid close attention to Liu Jianghai's expression. Seeing that his brows were still frowning, he knew that the executive vice mayor must still feel that he was a prefecture-level city executive vice mayor, and he was even more embarrassed to deal with a small town mayor at any cost.

So, Liu He had to put a weight on Liu Jianghai. He said: "Mayor Liu should also know that Secretary Xiao is in his prime now and is likely to take over as the governor and the provincial party secretary in the future. There are so many prefecture-level cities below. I think Secretary Xiao must be looking for some trustworthy and capable people to manage. I wonder what Mayor Liu thinks?"

Liu He said so clearly. If Liu Jianghai couldn't hear it anymore, he would have been in the officialdom for so many years in vain.

Obviously, the other party just wants to tell himself that as long as he does this time, he may enter Secretary Xiao’s political echelon in the future with a bright future. In a few years, he may even be the mayor of a prefecture-level city or simply the secretary of the municipal party committee before he retires.

Although there is not 100% words in the officialdom, Liu Jianghai didn't understand why Liu He, a secretary, had to fight with such a small town mayor named Chen Ping, but in order to make further possible, he had to bet once.

So Liu Jianghai thought about it and finally said to Liu He: "Secretary Liu, please bring a message to Secretary Xiao, and said that I will definitely not let down his expectations. I will drive Chen Ping away, but I also hope that Secretary Liu is an honest and trustworthy person, remember what he said today."

Liu He grinned and said, "Don't worry, Mayor Liu, as long as Mayor Liu takes down Chen Ping, I promise to find a way to say more good things for you in front of Secretary Xiao before Mayor Liu retires, so that you can be promoted faster."

Liu Jianghai nodded: "Okay!"
