FANG XIANchang, the county magistrate himself, was already a suspicious leader. Now that Tao Zhenghuan had been arrested and then released, would he suspect that Tao Zhenghuan had already betrayed him?Tao Zhenghuan really wanted to explain everything to FANG Xianchang immediately and reassure him. He called Yao Beixiang, FANG Xianchang's new secretary. 。Ke Yao Baixiang said: "Mr. Tao, please do not contact the County Magistrate of Fang County recently." 。"
This doesn't represent Yao Baxian's personal opinion; it's what the County Magistrate of Fang instructed him to do. Tao Huanzheng just went through the Public Security and Procuratorate, so he's not clean yet. He was told to cool down for a while before talking about anything further." 。Tao Huan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, realizing that County Head Fang suspected her. She quickly explained, "Director Yao, please be sure to tell County Head Fang that I, Tao Huan, haven't said anything inside..." 。Yao Baxian said: “I understand.” 。But Yao Beixiang thought to himself, if you hadn't said anything, why would the Public Security and the Procuratorate let you out so quickly? Why haven't Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun come out?
This was a series of questions 。It's also possible that Tao Huanzheng really didn't say anything, but how could Fang Ye risk it? He wouldn't easily believe and continue to contact Tao Huanzheng.
Tao Huanzheng asked again: "Director Yao, should I continue to stay in Anxian, or return to Zhonghai?" Yao Beixiang said: "Continue to stay in Anxian? Don't you think things are complicated enough already?"
“Director Yao, then I’ll go back to Zhonghai. If there’s something, call me first.” 。"Yao Bixiong said, 'You'd better not go back to Zhong Hai either. Find a place that's farther away and less populated to hide for a while.'" 。"Once things here are stable, we'll let you know!"
Tao Huan thought for a moment before saying, "Okay." 。“Yao Beimiao also urged: “Don’t contact me recently.” 。After that, Yao Baxian hung up the phone. 。That evening, Fang Yezhong and Li Qiao met in a private clubhouse for a secret discussion. 。Li Qiao asked, “County Magistrate Fang, have you reported this to the higher-ups? Xiao Jingyu has already arrested Tao Huanzheng, Liu Xiaoyong, Shen Dajun, and others.” 。"We need to get the higher-ups involved, put pressure on Xiao Jingyu, and release him immediately!"
Fang also agreed: "I've already reported this to the higher-ups." 。The mayor's meaning is that we shouldn't rush things, let's just wait and see the situation first. 。After all, Xiao Jingyu had the police and procuratorate arrest Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun et al., indeed because they had illegal acts such as fighting and injuring people, and fabricating materials on a daily basis. 。But they may not be aware of other circumstances. 。Besides, the fact that we hid our assets through Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun is unknown to Mayor Wu. If we tell him now, he might feel like we're feeding him soup while we ourselves eat the meat. He might get upset!
Li Qiao thought about it and said: “That’s true.” 。"Now that Tao Huanzheng has gone out, we don't know what he said. Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun are still inside, the situation is unclear, it's always a bit scary! "County Chief: "Don't worry too much, we can take some unconventional measures if necessary." 。"I'm going to the Procuratorate and the Commission for Discipline Inspection to find out what happened, whether they got anything from Tao Huanzheng." The county magistrate said, "You need to find someone you can absolutely trust." 。Li Qiang said: “County Magistrate Fang, I understand…” 。Li Qiao is a member of the county Party Committee Standing Committee and deputy county magistrate. His status in the county is very high, ranking fifth at most, and many units fawn over him and try to get close to him, including the procuratorate and the disciplinary inspection commission. 。Li Qiao called a few acquaintances to ask, but the results surprised him even more. 。The prosecutor's office people even said, "This time things are serious. Tao Huanzheng, Liu Xiaoyong, and Shen Dajun, along with a few others, were interrogated using some methods by the investigators, and they spilled quite a bit." 。They even said that there were big officials in our county who didn't put bribes into their own accounts, but kept them with them, using Tao Huanzheng and others as their safe deposit boxes and ATMs. 。But because I didn't personally participate in the investigation, I don't know exactly which county leaders were involved. It would be best if it wasn't from your government side, or else County Mayor and you will have a lot to do. 。"Li Qiao felt a dry ache in his throat when he heard this, it was clearly just him and the County Magistrate! Li Qiao cleared his throat and said, “It definitely isn’t from our county government. We have always been strict about upholding integrity within our county government.” 。“That’s right, that’s right,” 。Li County Magistrate, when you have some free time, I'd like to invite you to get together! 。Li Qiao wasn't in the mood to eat, so he said, "Okay, I'll talk to you when I have some free time." 。Li Qiao called the disciplinary inspection commission again, and they said the same thing. Essentially, they knew that some county leaders were hiding cash and assets with business owners, but they didn't know which ones specifically. 。Li Qiao asked again: "Then, why was Tao Huanzheng let out? The other two are still inside?"The Commission for Discipline Inspection said: "Because Liu Xiaoyong and Shen Dajun's evidence is not on them, Tao Huanzheng went out to get the evidence." 。It's possible the prosecutor's office has already made promises to them, perhaps even ensuring they won't go to jail. 。Of course, that's just me talking. 。"When Li Qiao heard this, he was greatly shocked. " 。Tao Huan was out collecting evidence, while Liu Dayong and Shen Dajun continued the interrogation. This makes perfect sense. 。。The signature isn't their real name, but if it were subjected to handwriting analysis, it wouldn't be difficult to prove that it belonged to their wife. 。When it came to this, Li Qiao was truly getting anxious. That night, he went to see Fang Ye again, forcing him out of bed at 12:30 AM and meeting him in the living room of his villa. 。Fang also said, "You're too eager and hot-headed, aren't you? What time is it? Is there something urgent that can't wait until tomorrow morning?"
Li Qiao said, "County Magistrate Fang, this really is a matter of urgency. " 。I'm afraid if I delay, more problems will arise, so I had to bother you during your rest. 。The housekeeper of the county magistrate sent up two cups of aged Pu-erh tea and lit a Zǐjīnchéng cigarette: "Go ahead," 。Liqiao said that Tao Huan was being released, and it was very likely that they were gathering evidence. 。Upon hearing this, Fang also took it seriously. 。He walked into the room and asked his wife, "Do you guys always sign your names when you take money?" Fang also said to his wife, "Yeah, isn't that what you agreed on? But we didn't sign our own names either." 。<"Fang also went back outside and said: "Although they signed, it wasn't their own names.>。"Li Qiao said: “Although it’s not his own name, as soon as the handwriting is examined, it can be identified.” 。Moreover, Tao Huan and the others are all bosses and businessmen. They are very shrewd. Besides signing, how can we guarantee they haven't left other evidence, such as taking pictures or recording videos?
Fang Ye also didn't know how to answer this. 。Prior to this, Fang also absolutely trusted Tao Huanzheng because Tao Huanzheng had a very good relationship with the higher-ups. 。But now things have happened, and the situation has changed subtly. 。At first, he didn't take any direct action, instructing Xiao Jingyu to stop investigating Tao Huanzheng and the others. On the other hand, Tao Huanzheng and the others had signatures from his own wives in their possession, which posed a risk. 。Fang also took a few puffs of his cigarette: "County Magistrate Li, what do you mean?" Liqiao frowned, he had an idea in mind, but he didn't dare to say it out loud, so he said: "County Magistrate Fang, I don't know what to do either..." 。"Fang also let out a cold laugh and said, "I think you know, but you just don't dare to say it." 。"Li Qiao gave a wry smile mixed with hesitation: 'County Magistrate, if you want the evidence to disappear forever, the best way is for the person who possesses it to disappear forever.'" 。This kind of thing, as members of the Communist Party and cadres, we can't do it. 。"
Fang also stared at Li Qiao: "Yes, County Magistrate Li, it's not to this extent yet " 。Think about it, are the situations you learned about from the procuratorate and disciplinary inspection commission true? That's also a question. 。"That's true, but County Chief Fang, if Tao Huan really gathers all the evidence to turn it over to the disciplinary inspection and law enforcement agencies for his own sake, we will be worse off than dead!" Li Qiao said this, and Fang Yezhong's pupils also constricted. 。
Though temperatures in the south drop in winter, there are still sunny days; when Tao Huan's plane arrived in Harbin, it was already icy and snowy outside the airport. 。Tao Huanzheng still followed Yao Baixiang's advice and returned to Harbin to hide. 。He wants to hide away at his old home, in the countryside near Harbin. 。This conforms to Yao Bixian's description of "places that are farther away and less populated." 。Northeast China is vast and sparsely populated. Driving out of Harbin city, the elm trees along the roadside are covered in snow, and the plains stretch before you, a vast expanse of white. 。Tao Huanzheng's buddy was picking him up in a car. After they arrived at the town, they were going to have a big dinner and drinks in the evening with old friends from the village and classmates. Tao Huanzheng's sister was also coming. 。Tao Huanzheng's younger sister is twenty-five years old, much younger than him. She has always admired her older brother and is still unmarried. 。She always told people she wanted to marry someone as accomplished as her brother. 。In the whole town, it is widely believed that Tao Huan is a remarkable person. He came from his old home in Northeast China and became a boss. 。So, everyone wants to curry favor with him upon his return this time. 。Tao Huanzheng was also a little excited because he could see his younger sister and family. 。He could already feel it, tonight was definitely going to be a night of unrestrained revelry. His companions and classmates would undoubtedly shower him with compliments over countless drinks. 。Although he came back to hide, he is still a figure, and the things he deserves to enjoy can still be enjoyed. 。However, just as he happened to glance in the rearview mirror, he was surprised to find another car trailing behind them. 。Tao Huan immediately became alert. 。He arrived in town and stopped in front of a restaurant. The other carriage also pulled up nearby. 。Tao Huan's mood instantly became tense, wondering who was following her.
Throughout the meal, Tao Huan kept glancing out the window, feeling restless. That car had been waiting there the whole time. 。Tao Huanzheng's younger sister noticed something was wrong and asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Why are you looking out the window all the time?"
