Chapter 749 Allies Become Stepping Stones
Zhao Geng finally chose to ask Vice Governor Xia for help. In the final analysis, Zhao Geng was a disciple of Xia Lanshan. When Xia Lanshan was in Hanzhou, he relied on Zhao Geng and treated him as his successor to train him. Zhao Geng was very clear about why he had reached the current passive situation step by step, because Xia Lanshan left Hanzhou and his greatest backer was gone.
Zhao Jun personally rushed to Qiongjin and came to Xialanshan’s office. Xialanshan had foreign affairs activities this morning, but he saw Zhao Jun’s anxiousness and turned down other tasks.
"Secretary Lanshan, please help me." Zhao Jun said in a depressed tone.
Xia Lanshan didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time and said, "What the hell is going on?"
Zhao Jun then responded to Xia Lanshan's problem. Xia Lanshan sighed for a long time, "Zhao Jun, it is too difficult to solve this problem, and I am not sure."
Zhao Jun said: "I can hand over all the money."
Xia Lanshan said silently: "Now that the matter has been exposed, the money must be paid, but even if you can spit it out, it may be difficult to escape the organization's investigation."
Zhao Jun sighed, "Do I really have no way out?"
Xia Lanshan still retains some friendship with Zhao Jun. When he worked together, if Zhao Jun had not supported him strongly, Xia Lanshan would have difficulty in fully controlling Hanzhou. Moreover, if Zhao Jun failed now, it would mean that he would not have a trustworthy person in Hanzhou. The Hanzhou officialdom completely lost control and control, and Xia Lanshan would have lost a crucial bargaining chip in the provincial government.
Xia Lanshan really wanted to help Zhao Jun, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally came to a pessimistic conclusion that Zhao Jun had no chance.
Xialan Mountain has another layer of consideration, which has become a deadlock. If I participate in it, will I drag myself into the water?
Xia Lanshan said slowly: "I can only recommend that you change your strategy now, recognize the current situation, strive for leniency, and actively explain to the relevant departments about your illegal and disorderly facts. The money you should pay must be paid..."
Zhao Geng's face turned pale and realized that he had no way out now.
Zhao Jun walked out of Xia Lanshan’s office in a state of silence. Xia Lanshan shook his head helplessly. In fact, Zhao Jun walked to the present level step by step, and he felt guilty because of his deliberate willingness.
If Xia Lanshan had strict requirements for Zhao Jun, then Zhao Jun would never have become like this. In order to suppress Hu Gang, Xia Lanshan deliberately trained Zhao Jun and gave him all kinds of green lights. Even after the incident of a palace bar, Xia Lanshan also helped him suppress it.
Over time, Zhao Jun developed a sense of arrogance.
If Xia Lanshan was still the secretary of the Hanzhou Municipal Party Committee, he might be able to win Zhao Jun, but today is different. Xia Lanshan has left Hanzhou. If he interferes in the local government affairs of Hanzhou now, it will definitely attract the attention of others.
Xia Lanshan has only gained a foothold in the provincial government for the time being. Although Governor Bu Yiren is very caring about him, he is also ranked behind the many governors. Xia Lanshan cannot destroy the image he has worked hard to create in the government for Zhao Jun.
As for whether Hanzhou will be controlled by him, Xia Lanshan also thought it through. The Su family arranged for Zhang Tianling to take over. This was actually a signal flare. Hanzhou would eventually escape from its palm.
Xia Lanshan is a calm person. He knows the degree of giving and gain. Although losing Zhao Jun will affect his strength, he still has to be more determined when a hero cuts his arm.
Zhao Jun sat in the car and received a call from Zhang Tianling. Zhang Tianling's meaning was very clear and he hoped to have a conversation with him. Although the content of the conversation was not mentioned on the phone, Zhao Jun knew that it must be related to Luo Bing.
From Qiongjin back to Hanzhou, Zhao Geng went straight to the office of the Municipal Party Secretary. Zhang Tianling saw Zhao Geng, pointed to the sofa and said, "Old Zhao, please sit down!"
Zhao Jun smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay."
Zhang Tianling ordered the secretary to send two cups of tea in, and waited for Zhao Jun to take a sip of tea, and said, "Old Zhao, many key departments of the municipal party committee have received a letter of complaint about you today. I hope to hear your explanation."
Zhao Jun looked up at Zhang Tianling. The new member of the municipal party committee secretary had a different style from Xia Lanshan. Xia Lanshan was hard on the outside and soft on the inside. He looked very serious on the surface, but in fact, his style was rather roundabout and never extreme. However, judging from Zhang Tianling's rule during this period, his style was very tough. Although he was polite every time he met, he would never be rude when he was time to take action.
Zhao Jun gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Secretary Tianling, I don't know what kind of complaint letters are. I became a party member at the age of 19 and believe that I am worthy of doing things for half my life. Someone must have framed me."
Zhang Tianling said regretfully: "Old Zhao, you are a member of the Standing Committee and the most important cadre in Hanzhou. If you are willing to confess, I will plead with the relevant departments to give you a chance to handle leniency. But if you still insist on your own, I am afraid I will have trouble dealing with it, so I can only follow the process."
Zhao Geng still acts innocently. If it weren't for Zhang Tianling's hand, he would even be a little suspicious about whether the letters of complaint were true.
Zhang Tianling had to secretly sigh that Zhao Jun's strong psychological quality was that he was still unmoved by such great pressure.
Zhang Tianling closed his eyes and said slowly: "Zhao Jun, I have given you the last chance to refresh yourself. Next time I will not talk to you."
Zhao Jun slowly stood up and said, "You are not afraid of being slanted by the shadows. If you want to mess with me, then just do it."
After saying that, Zhao Jun followed the wrinkles on his clothes and steadily walked out of the Municipal Party Secretary’s Office.
After Zhao Jun left, Zhang Tianling called Fang Zhicheng and said, "I had communicated with Zhao Jun just now, and he was disdainful of the letter of complaint."
Fang Zhicheng said: "Have he had any specific reactions after reading the report letter?"
Zhang Tianling smiled bitterly and said, "He didn't even ask for a report letter..."
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment and said, "He was trying his best to hide the panic in his heart, so he deliberately pretended to be indifferent, which only means that he was already panicked."
Zhang Tianling nodded and said, "What should I do next? Will I report it to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection directly?"
Fang Zhicheng said: "We must go in two steps. First, we must report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and ask them to arrange an investigation team to investigate Zhao Jun as soon as possible. Second, we must arrange for someone to follow Zhao Jun to prevent him from absconding."
Zhang Tianling smiled and said, "You have thought it very carefully, and I will make arrangements later. By the way, something surprised me. Now the news has spread, but Zang Yi has no reaction at all."
Fang Zhicheng thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Zang Yi wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
Zhang Tianling thought to himself that Fang Zhicheng's thoughts were indeed clear, and he had just realized why Zang Yi did not help his allies.
There are no eternal allies in the officialdom, only eternal interests. When Zhao Jun lost his value, Zang Yi did not mind using him as a stepping stone to go further.
"Zang Yi is already planning the position of executive vice mayor." Zhang Tianling sighed. Even though he knew his intention, he did not have a good way to stop him. After all, Zang Yi has shown extraordinary abilities in the past period of time. If that position is empty, he is the most suitable replacement.
After chatting with Fang Zhicheng for a while about Zhao Jun's issue before hanging up the phone. Then Zhang Tianling issued instructions to Meng Da, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, asking him to monitor Zhao Jun's movements and not allow him to escape from Hanzhou.
At around 11 o'clock that night, Fang Zhicheng received a call from Wan Heng. Wan Heng whispered: "Zhao Jun committed suicide for fear of crime, swallowed a lot of money and died in the study."
After hearing the news, Fang Zhicheng was slightly stunned and felt a little guilty. After all, Zhao Jun was at the end of the road and used his own strategy to push him to the cliff step by step.
Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Zhao Jun is a very proud person."
Fang Zhicheng is still very familiar with Zhao Jun. He is a person with good face and has always shown his heroes in Hanzhou. Now that he finds out that his problems are constantly coming, it will inevitably cause criticism from colleagues or the people. How can he bear it?
Wan Heng paused for a moment and said, "There are probably other reasons why he chose to commit suicide. Where is the whereabouts of so much money? Zhao Jun had always liked to run projects in Yanjing before."
Fang Zhicheng knew what Wan Heng meant, and he was implying that those ill-gotten gains might be related to some big figures in Yanjing.
Fang Zhicheng sighed softly and said, "Although the person is dead, what should be investigated still needs to be investigated."
Wan Heng said: "I have received a notice from the province just now, and the matter between Zhao Jun ends here."
Fang Zhicheng was speechless and smiled bitterly: "Then let's stop here."
Zhao Jun is a provincial cadre. It is not a glorious thing to have problems. Since he chose to die, the province has a leader who hinted that the matter would be turned into small things and small things.
After calling Wan Heng, Fang Zhicheng drove to the village where Luo Bing was.
After seeing Luo Bing, she found that in just two days she had become extremely haggard.
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Tell you something, Zhao Jun has committed suicide."
Luo Bing was speechless. After a few seconds, tears overflowed from his eyes like a fountain. "I was the one who harmed him... I shouldn't have been investigated. At most, I went to jail for a few years. Why did he choose to die?"
Fang Zhicheng shook his head and comforted him: "It was his own fault and it has nothing to do with you. He chose to die, and he was voluntarily, or he realized that the mistake he made was too great and had no face to face others."
Luo Bing trembled and choked and said, "If I knew it was the result, I would never do this..."
Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Please keep your mood, please feel sorry for me."
Fang Zhicheng never expected that the grudge with Zhao Jun would come to an abrupt end in this form.
