Qiao Liang made some calculations in his mind and decided to leave for the city immediately.
Seeing that Qiao Liang was about to leave, Shao Quan hesitated and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, do you think this... is considered a meritorious service?"
"Making meritorious service?" Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment and glanced at Shao Quan with disdain. You have the nerve to say that you have done meritorious service.
Thinking about it in his heart, Qiao Liang didn't want to pour cold water on Shao Quan at this time, because he might be needed later.
Qiao Liang was thinking about it, but before he could say anything, he heard Shao Quan say again, "County Magistrate Qiao, when the investigation team comes down, could you please put in a good word for me?"
"Well, I will speak for you as appropriate." Qiao Liang nodded lightly and glanced at Shao Quan, "But the next step still depends on your performance. If you perform well, you will naturally get extra points."
"Okay, I know." Shao Quan nodded vigorously.
"Well, I'm going to the city. If anything happens, please call me." Qiao Liang said.
After sending Shao Quan away, Qiao Liang immediately arranged for a car to go to the city. At this time, Ye Xinyi came over and said, "County Magistrate Qiao, do you want to go back?"
"My favorite, I'm going to the city. Something big happened." Qiao Liang said in a low voice.
"Something big happened?" Ye Xinyi looked stunned, "What big thing?"
"This reservoir collapse accident was a man-made disaster." Qiao Liang looked serious. He was in a hurry to go to the city and did not bother to talk to Ye Xinyi. "I'm going to the city first. We'll talk later."
After Qiao Liang finished speaking, he hurriedly got into the car.
It was noon when Qiao Liang arrived in downtown Jiangzhou. Mayor Guo Xing'an had just returned and had been having lunch in his office after handling official business for a while.
As soon as Qiao Liang entered the door, he saw that Guo Xing'an was eating ordinary box lunch fast food, and couldn't help but said, "Mayor, do you have such a simple lunch?"
"What else? We have to put a table of delicacies from the mountains and the sea?" Guo Xing'an glanced at Qiao Liang, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, what's wrong with you? The most important task at the moment is post-disaster resettlement. Is there anything more important than this? ?If you didn’t stay in the county to deal with the aftermath, why did you rush to the city in such a hurry?"
It turned out that on the way here, Qiao Liang had called Guo Xing'an's secretary in advance and only said that he had something very important to report, but he didn't say anything.
When Guo Xing'an asked, Qiao Liang sat up straight and said solemnly, "Mayor, the reservoir collapse incident is a serious man-made disaster, and it even involves the illegal and disciplinary behavior of individual leading cadres."
"Do you have any evidence?" Guo Xing'an suddenly paid attention, his face serious.
"Mayor, I just learned about the situation..." Qiao Liang told Guo Xing'an in detail the report he just heard from Shao Quan.
After hearing this, Guo Xing'an's face became extremely gloomy and he stood up angrily, "Scum, scum, worm..."
Guo Xing'an was walking back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back. At this time, he was obviously not angry. If what Qiao Liang said was true, then the dozen or so villagers who died in the reservoir collapse accident did not die in accidents. Instead, he died of 'murder', which is simply lawless.
"Investigate, we must investigate thoroughly." Guo Xing'an stopped and said angrily.
Qiao Liang nodded slightly, this matter must be investigated, and the reason why he came to report this matter to Guo Xing'an was obviously because he had his own concerns.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, what do you want to say?" Guo Xing'an noticed Qiao Liang's face and frowned.
"Mayor, I shouldn't have said some disrespectful words originally, but Deputy County Magistrate Tang Xiaofei is Secretary Luo's niece. I'm worried..." Qiao Liang didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
"Are you worried that the investigation team from the city will engage in malpractice for personal gain?" Guo Xing'an raised his eyebrows. The city set up an investigation team to go to Songbei County to investigate the collapse. Originally, Guo Xing'an did not need to worry about the follow-up matters. After all, the relevant functional departments in the city will naturally be responsible for this matter, but after listening to Qiao Liang's report, Guo Xing'an obviously realized that what Qiao Liang was worried about was not impossible.
After thinking for a moment, Guo Xing'an said immediately, "I'll give Comrade Shidong a call."
As he spoke, Guo Xing'an took out his mobile phone and dialed Zheng Shidong's private number.
When the call was connected, Guo Xing'an said, "Comrade Shidong, I didn't disturb your lunch break, did you?"
"I just finished lunch, what are your instructions from Mayor Guo?" Zheng Shidong said with a smile.
"Comrade Shidong, regarding the city's establishment of an investigation team to investigate the collapse of the Songbei Reservoir, I have a suggestion. I hope you will personally take charge of this matter and serve as the leader of the investigation team." Guo Xing'an said straightforwardly.
Upon hearing what Guo Xing'an was talking about, Zheng Shidong said, "Mayor Guo, our disciplinary department can't get involved in this matter for the time being. Secretary Luo has just given instructions that the procuratorial department will be responsible for the investigation, and Comrade Wen Yuan will serve as the leader of the investigation team." long."
When Guo Xing'an heard this, his expression changed slightly. Wen Yuan was originally the director of the municipal research office and was Luo Fei's employee. The reason why he was transferred to the prosecutor's office as the top leader was also because of Luo Fei's support.
At the same time, Guo Xing'an realized that Luo Fei asked the prosecutor's office to investigate the matter, which meant that the investigation was likely to focus on dereliction of duty.
After thinking for a while, Guo Xing'an said, "Comrade Shidong, can your disciplinary department and the procuratorial organ jointly set up an investigation team, with you as the leader of the investigation team and Comrade Wen Yuan as the deputy leader."
Hearing Guo Xing'an's words, Zheng Shidong was a little surprised. If it was like what Guo Xing'an said, then the standards of this investigation team were high enough. The top leaders of the disciplinary inspection department served as the chief and deputy team leaders respectively. Moreover, Zheng Shidong could tell from Guo Xing'an's words that It seems that Guo Xing'an is worried about something.
Thinking in his mind, Zheng Shidong said, "Mayor Guo, if I follow your request, I'm afraid I'll have to seek Secretary Luo's opinion on this matter."
Although Zheng Shidong and Luo Fei are not in the same pot, Luo Fei is still the leader, and Zheng Shidong must maintain respect for Luo Fei.
After hearing Zheng Shidong's words, Guo Xing'an nodded and said, "Okay, Comrade Shidong, then you should communicate with Secretary Luo first and see what Secretary Luo says."
"Okay, I'll call Secretary Luo right now." Zheng Shidong nodded.
After the two ended the call, Guo Xing'an turned to Qiao Liang and said, "Wait a minute and see how Comrade Shidong replies."
Qiao Liang nodded when he heard this. He had just heard a few words from the phone call between Guo Xing'an and Zheng Shidong. Zheng Shidong obviously wanted to ask Luo Fei for instructions. Qiao Liang obviously didn't have much hope for this, and Luo Fei would probably object.
Sure enough, Qiao Liang's guess was correct. More than ten minutes later, Zheng Shidong responded to the call and informed Luo Fei of his intention. Luo Fei did not agree for the time being that the disciplinary department would participate in the investigation of the matter.
"Okay, I understand this." Guo Xing'an looked gloomy, calmed down, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said to Zheng Shidong, "Comrade Shidong, there is nothing to do for now. I'm sorry to bother you at noon. .”
"Mayor Guo is being polite to me." Zheng Shidong smiled.
"Then I will never see Comrade Shidong again." Guo Xing'an smiled and said, "Comrade Shidong, you take a lunch break first, and we will contact you later."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Xing'an looked at Qiao Liang and said quietly, "Xiao Qiao, it seems that your worries may become a reality."
"Secretary Luo doesn't agree, right?" Qiao Liang said.
"Well, Secretary Luo disagrees." Guo Xing'an nodded.
"Actually, this is normal. The literary inspector belongs to Secretary Luo. Let the literary inspector serve as the leader of the investigation team. For Secretary Luo, things can be under his control." Qiao Liang said helplessly.
Guo Xing'an had a sullen face and said nothing. Guo Xing'an could naturally see Luo Fei's wishful thinking, but now that he knew about it, he couldn't just stand idly by.
After a moment of silence, Guo Xing'an said to Qiao Liang, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, you go back first. I will handle this matter. You go about your business. The most important task now is to resettle the affected people. Do you understand?"
"Mayor, don't worry, I will personally take care of the resettlement of the people affected by the disaster, and I will never leave a single person homeless."
"Well, that's good." Guo Xing'an nodded and said, "Such a serious accident happened, and the leaders of the province are also very concerned about it. Secretary Zheng and Leader Guan have given instructions successively, so you have to understand this."
The importance of things.”
"Don't worry, mayor, I know it well." Qiao Liang nodded again.
"Okay, then you go back first." Guo Xing'an said.
Qiao Liang nodded and was about to leave. Guo Xing'an suddenly stopped Qiao Liang again, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, you are in a hurry to come to the city. I'm afraid you haven't had lunch yet. Come, have lunch before leaving. I'll ask Secretary Jin to
Order another lunch box and bring it over."
"Mayor, I won't be polite." Qiao Liang said with a smile.
"It's just a box lunch, why are you so polite?" Guo Xing'an smiled.
Qiao Liang was not polite and stayed in Guo Xing'an's office for lunch. After all, such treatment was not something ordinary people could get. Guo Xing'an could keep him for lunch, which showed that Guo Xing'an really regarded him as one of his own.
After lunch, Qiao Liang rushed back to Songbei without stopping. When he returned to his office, it happened to be the afternoon work time. Ye Xinyi, who had been paying attention to Qiao Liang's side, saw Qiao Liang coming back and took the initiative to come to Qiao Liang's office.
.
"Xinyi, you're here." Qiao Liang closed the office door and asked Ye Xinyi to sit down.
"You said this morning that the reservoir collapse accident was a man-made disaster. You hurriedly went to the city without telling me the specific situation." Ye Xinyi blinked. She is now the deputy secretary of the county. Naturally,
I am also very concerned about this matter.
Qiao Liang did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Ye Xinyi steadily.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face? Look at me like this." Ye Xinyi touched her cheek and felt a little uncomfortable when Qiao Liang looked at her.
"Xinxiang, you find a few reporters you know to report on the reservoir collapse." Qiao Liang suddenly said.
"Do we still need to find reporters for this? The media will definitely take the initiative to report on such a big matter." Ye Xinyi said.
"No, the report I am talking about does not mean simply reporting on the collapse of the reservoir, but digging into the shady story that exists here." Qiao Liang said solemnly.
Shady story? Ye Xinyi was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Qiao Liang. Soon, Ye Xinyi realized that this was probably related to the man-made disaster that Qiao Liang said.
