In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Secretary Sha, Governor Liu, and all members of the Standing Committee."

Tian Guofu distributed the investigation materials in the article. "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection conducted an in-depth investigation into the case of Yi Xuexi and his wife. Neither of them nor their close relatives and friends had any large amount of property of unknown origin. The price of tea was in line with the market, and their living standards were in line with their salary income. There was no so-called power-for-money transaction relationship."

Tian Guofu even deliberately waved the documents in his hand towards Fang Denggao.

"The facts are clear and the physical evidence is complete."

Seeing that the provincial government faction remained silent, Sha Ruijin took over the conversation, saying, "Comrade Yi Xuexi is an outstanding comrade in the organization who can withstand the test when it comes to bottom lines."

"As for Standing Committee Member Fang, I do not deny the last time that Comrade Yi Xuexi was not capable enough in his positions as Director of the Luzhou Transportation Bureau and Director of the Development Zone, or that he did good deeds but did bad things."

"But we must also respect the facts."

"Comrade Yi Xuexi served in a position at the level of division chief for 25 years without any major misconduct recorded, which shows that he was either conscientious or quite successful in most of his positions."

"In order to protect our comrades, I have also consulted some of Yi Xuexi's former leaders and comrades during this period."

Sha Ruijin's right hand, in a cast, rested on the table, creating an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

"Therefore, I plan to invite one of our comrades to come and give a talk, to show everyone a different side of Easy Learning."

Ignoring the reactions of others, Sha Ruijin gave Tong Li, who was sitting at the end of the conference table, a wink.

Tong Li stood up and opened the conference room door. A middle-aged cadre, about the same age as Gao Zhiwu and Wen Yiyan, walked in.

"Most of the Standing Committee members should be familiar with Comrade Qian Bingzheng, who is currently the Secretary-General of the Provincial Association and was formerly the Secretary of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee. At that time, Yi Xuexi was serving as the Secretary of the Daokou County Party Committee."

Qian Bingzheng bowed slightly and took the seat that had been prepared in advance.

Fang Denggao and the others exchanged glances. This guy, Sand Rat Agent, was so greedy. Not only did he want to protect the political integrity of Yi Xuexi and his wife, but he also hadn't given up his desire to promote them.

"Leaders, Daokou is the poorest county in the Lincheng area."

Qian Bingzheng spread a huge map on the conference table. The colors were already distorted, but the five large characters "County Poverty Alleviation Map" at the crossroads were still clear.

"During Yi Xuexi's tenure, he visited every village and poverty alleviation site on the map, organized construction teams to go out and rely on labor transfer, and finally Daokou became a model county for a well-off society."

"Daokou County is now a well-known architectural town."

Following Tong Li's instructions, Qian Bingzheng spoke concisely but directly to the core issue: economic development.

It highlights Yi Xuexi's achievements to the greatest extent possible.

Qian Bingzheng then turned to Fang Denggao, his tone respectful but his words full of aggression, "I have also been paying attention to the traffic diversion issue that Standing Committee Member Fang mentioned. While Comrade Yi Xuexi's adherence to rules and regulations may be rigid, that highway is an important starting point for the post-Luzhou era's anti-corruption efforts, and its significance is far-reaching."

"Perhaps there were merits and demerits, but I always felt that Comrade Yi Xuexi's merits during his tenure outweighed the demerits."

"What does Standing Committee Member Fang think?"

Qian Bingzheng thoughtfully asked a question at the end.

Ah!

Fang Denggao sneered, turning to look at Lin Zhiyuan with a clear meaning, "Can I handle him?"

Lin Zhiyuan nodded silently.

"If Standing Committee Member Fang has a different opinion, he can say so! What's the meaning behind that smile?"

Qian Bingzheng said contentedly.

It's like a seasoned hunter waiting for his prey to walk right into his trap.

"Comrade Denggao, please speak your mind."

Sha Ruijin chimed in, "After all, we are in different positions, and our views on a person or a matter are different."

"Speak your mind."

"Only other members of the Standing Committee can better judge Comrade Yi Xuexi's merits and demerits."

it is good!

Fang Denggao stood up straight, his gaze disdainful. "Since Secretary Sha asked me to speak, I'll briefly share my thoughts."

"First of all, Secretary-General Qian, please recognize your own position."

Fang Denggao pointed directly at Qian Bingzheng's nose and scolded, "You are allowed to attend the Standing Committee meeting because Secretary Sha sent you to talk about your views on Yi Xuexi, not to question my views."

"My opinion can be summed up in one word: No way!"

"A main road in the old city that cost 300 million yuan to build ended up costing over 100 million yuan more because of his idea."

"This isn't corruption, it's worse than corruption."

"So what if there are holdouts? Which of you who's been in charge of a region hasn't encountered holdouts? And who among you is as stubborn as Yi Xuexi, relentlessly pursuing things to the end?"

"I gave him face last time."

"Then I'll ask bluntly this time: which construction company received these extra hundreds of millions? And who took the funds? Did Yi Xuexi have any collusion with the road construction company?"

"That's why I don't promote or give important responsibilities to them."

"Did Secretary-General Qian understand?"

Fang Denggao showed no mercy to this senior official, grabbing a poverty alleviation map and smashing it across his face. "Now I'd like to ask Secretary-General Qian, since Yi Xuexi has achieved such great results in Daokou County, why haven't you, the municipal party secretary, stepped forward to promote our good cadre, Comrade Yi Xuexi?"

"Don't you want a promotion?"

"Or were you already too old and blind to see this diligent and accomplished comrade back then?"

Answer me!

Qian Bingzheng ripped the map off his face, his face burning red with pain, unsure whether it was from the map or from an invisible hand slapping him.

This script is wrong!

Shouldn't the provincial government faction question Yi Xuexi's other job positions, and then have him slowly refute them with a piece of paper map?

How did it all suddenly turn into him?

These young people have no sense of sportsmanship; they actually bullied an old comrade like me who is about to retire!

"That's because Yi Xuexi was just punished in Jinshan County, and I wanted to put him in a lower-level position to gain more experience."

After all, he was a seasoned cunning official who had been in the political arena for many years, and he quickly came up with an excuse.

That's all.

Qian Bingzheng added, "Later, I was transferred back to the Provincial Political Consultative Conference, and the matter was put on hold."

"wrong!"

Wu Chunlin suddenly said, "Excuse me for interrupting, but it was very rare for Secretary-General Qian to be transferred from the position of Party Secretary of the Municipal Committee to Secretary-General of the Provincial Association back then, so I specifically looked it up after I became the Minister of Organization."

"At that time, the organization gave Secretary-General Qian a two-month handover period."

"Secretary-General Qian, didn't you ever think of giving a good comrade like Yi Xuexi a hand? When you were transferred to the provincial association, it was already Yi Xuexi's third year in office, and the organizational punishment had long expired."

"Or is it that Comrade Bingzheng, who was promoted to the level of a full-fledged municipal party secretary at the age of 38 and fought his way up through numerous obstacles, has lost even this much courage?"

"You were the provincial role model back then!"
