Volume 1 Chapter 22 Cornered Beast Fights Back (Part 2)

  Wang Liben first found Huang Sizhong, the branch secretary of the village where Liang Huitian was located. His purpose was very clear, hoping to find people who had contact with Liang Huitian and then follow the trail to find the people behind him.

  Huang Sizhong is a very obedient person, and he still explains everything in great detail. However, the result was disappointing for him. Liang Huitian didn't have any special contact with anyone, probably just hearing about the road not being repaired made him suddenly stand up.

  Next, Wang Liben let the branch book of each village go through the back door, Wang Liben used all his strength to make promises that he could solve the problem of children going to the handicraft factory, and also promised various benefits, but these village branch books one by one couldn't say anything.

  Xiao Yongnian and Yang Liguo's investigation into the masses' party members also did not achieve any results.

  After a busy half-day, Wang Liben's face was almost frozen. Director Qiu had already called, and the county government attached great importance to this matter, deciding to send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate. However, there was still no progress on his end. Even if the county sent an investigation team, they might not be able to find anything out. If that were the case, Wang Liben's final outcome would still be bleak.

  Wang Liben sat there stupidly for a long time, his eyes finally revealing a hint of madness - the only way to solve the problem was to put it on Wu Zhonghe or Lu Zhengdong's head.

  It's just that Wu Zhonghe is always on the run, and normally can't be seen in the countryside. This matter wants to put the blame on Wu Zhonghe's head, but it's still difficult, not very convincing. After thinking about it, only Lu Zhengdong is more suitable.

  As soon as he thought of Lu Zhengdong, Wang Liben was so angry that his eyes could spit fire. All this was caused by Lu Zhengdong. If it weren't for Lu Zhengdong bringing back that one million, if it weren't for Lu Zhengdong proposing to repair the road, expand the factory and issue bonuses, and instigating Wu Zhonghe to bring it up at the party committee meeting, none of these things would have happened.

  If I had known this earlier, I should have kicked him out during the Yang Yuqing incident. Wang Liben slammed his fist on the table in anger - since Lu Zhengdong caused this trouble, let Lu Zhengdong take responsibility to the end!

  Wang Liben sat for a long time, thinking that this matter was still problematic if it were to be placed solely on Lu Zhengdong's head. Lu Zhengdong's rallying power in the countryside was still insufficient; Wu Zhonghe would also have to be pulled in.

  This is Wu Zhonghe secretly backing up from behind, while Lu Zhengdong goes to secretly stir up the villagers in front, only this way can they have sufficient persuasive power. It doesn't matter if Wu Zhonghe doesn't admit it, as long as they can pin it on Lu Zhengdong, Wu Zhonghe will be speechless even if he wants to speak.

  As for how to put it on Lu Zhengdong's head, he had already thought of a way, and let Ma Bu Yun from the Finance Department handle this matter.

  Wang Liben thought carefully again and felt that the plan was not a problem, so he prepared to call Yang Luding over. However, when Lin got up, he hesitated again. In normal times, it would be fine for Yang Luding to handle such things, but now was an extraordinary period, and Yang Luding's appearance might not necessarily make Ma Bocun dare to act. Wang Liben thought again, gritted his teeth, and finally decided to talk to Ma Bocun himself.

  Ma Bu Yun entered the secretary's office, and after closing the door, Wang Li Ben forced a smile on his originally dark face, greeting Ma Bu Yun:

  "Little horse, sit down. At this time, some leaders are wandering around everywhere, and their thoughts are no longer on specific work. The financial work of the town mainly relies on you to grasp, it's quite hard, huh? Yeah, you've done a good job, very effective, worthy of praise."

  Wang Lishen's rarely seen gentle and amiable demeanor made Ma Bao Yun feel both surprised and honored, he hastily sat up straight and said:

  "I was just under Secretary Wang's leadership, running errands, doing some specific things, not hard..."

  Wang Li nodded, looking very satisfied:

  "Well, Xiao Ma, you're not bad. You work hard and diligently, without being arrogant or complacent. Unlike some leaders in the countryside who think they're superior, try to be clever, and are deceitful, but can't recognize their own mistakes. They don't humbly accept help and education from the organization, instead they resist and oppose it. I just have higher expectations for him, and he harbors resentment, even going so far as to create trouble. This kind of behavior is bound to backfire!"

  I just got off the phone with Director Qiu from the Organization Department, and he's furious. He said that this matter must be handled seriously. The county leaders originally wanted to cultivate him as a key young cadre, but it turns out he's not up to par. Now the county leaders are all very disappointed in him. On the phone, I mentioned to Director Qiu that from now on, you'll be taking over the financial work in the township. Do a good job... Little Ma, do you understand what I mean?

  "Thank you, Secretary Wang, I...I will definitely work hard and not disappoint Secretary Wang's expectations..."

  Ma Bu Yun suddenly understood Wang Li Ben's meaning, Lu Zheng Dong was in trouble, the position of deputy township head was beckoning to him again. Ma Bu Yun's heart was racing with excitement, he had never thought of such a good thing happening to him, and unexpectedly, it was like a pie falling from the sky. He tried his best to calm himself down, but his excited heart was almost out of control, and his words were stuttering.

  Seeing Ma Bu Yun's reaction, Wang Li Ben was very satisfied and continued:

  "This time the election, I just asked the cadres and masses of each village to understand, they also reflected many problems, the finance department is his division, this time, he must have colluded with you."

  "There's nothing, I and Lu... it's just a normal working relationship."

  Ma Bu Yun hastily said, since Lu Zhengdong was going to be unlucky, he naturally didn't want to have anything to do with him.

  But this is not what Wang Liben had in mind

  "I know you're a man of principle, so you must have rejected him with righteous words. Don't worry, I'm very clear about these things in my heart. But the fact that he came to find you, all this can prove that he's up to something."

  "Secretary Wang, I really have a normal relationship with him, he really didn't look for me on this matter... probably because he's afraid I'll report to you..."

  Wang Liben saw Ma Bu Yun didn't understand what he meant, and his face sank:

  "What's going on with this little horse, he and you are in a superior-subordinate relationship, you don't want to get along with him, not reporting this matter to me is also understandable. I've said it before that I won't blame you, what else do you need to explain? You two have frequent contact, didn't Lu Zhengdong reveal anything in front of you? Didn't he discuss these matters with you? It's impossible that he didn't, I've already understood this point clearly..."

  Ma Bu Yun saw Wang Li Ben's changed expression, and he didn't cover up like before, directly mentioning Lu Zheng Dong's name, instantly scaring him into silence.

  Wang Li Ben continued:

  "You're smarter than those villagers, and you can report clearly. You've also had a lot of contact with him, so you'll be more persuasive. When the investigation team arrives, you should do the main reporting. Little Ma, this is a great opportunity for you. If you don't take it seriously, how can others help you?..."

  Ma Bu Yun was a bit at a loss, and he really understood Wang Li Ben's meaning, which was to let him expose Lu Zheng Dong, but Lu Zheng Dong had never discussed these things with him. If he were to fabricate them, the county investigation team would discover it, and what would happen then? Just thinking about it made his heart feel a bit guilty.

  But wealth and honor are within sight, the position of deputy township head is within reach, now the township also has money, financial work is also easy to do, once as deputy township head, he can pick up the fallen peaches, if he misses this opportunity, he will regret it for a lifetime. Moreover, looking at Wang Liben's eyes, if he doesn't agree, how will Wang Liben treat him next? He is also chilled to the bone. Thinking of this, Ma Bu Yun gritted his teeth and said:

  "Lu Zhengdong indeed talked to me about this matter."

  Wang Liben was finally satisfied and took a sip of tea, glanced at Ma Bu Yun, and then asked:

  "Little horse, how are you going to report back to the investigation team?"

  Ma Bu Yun thought for a moment and said:

  "Lu Zhengdong... came to find me, wanting me to join him in not voting for you..."

  Wang Liben shook his head:

  "What time, what place, what reason did Lu Zhengdong say something, what tone of voice was used when speaking, all these need to be carefully thought about..."

  Under Wang Lijun's " gentle guidance", Ma Bu Yun was perfecting his report step by step. A plan targeting Lu Zhengcai had also been freshly drawn up.
