Deng Shaoqun frowned, thinking about how to open the topic. In fact, he had arranged for Yu Jinping to come and sound out the situation, but Fang Zhicheng didn't say anything to Yu Jinping, and this attitude made Deng Shaoqun very anxious.

What Fang Zhicheng wanted was to make Deng Shaoqun anxious. Once a person is anxious, his brain will become hot and he will make mistakes. Once a mistake is made, it will give him an opportunity to take advantage of.

At this moment, Fang Zhicheng was very calm and steady. He had woven a big net, and Deng Shaoqun had already been deeply trapped in it, just waiting for him to fall into despair step by step.

Deng Shaoqun finally couldn't help it, and after a brief silence, he said, "Comrade Zhicheng, I won't beat around the bush. I came to see you today for another purpose."

Fang Zhicheng interrupted Deng Shaoqun and said with a smile: "Secretary Shaoqun, Minister Yu came to me today and explained the relevant situation to me. I can understand your difficulties. Deng Shaoan is involved in organized crime and illegal activities, which is a matter worthy of attention. But I think that although Deng Shaoan is your brother, he is a person and does not affect the people's view of you. If the district government can act in accordance with the law and punish Deng Shaoan accordingly, it will show that the government is selfless and emphasizes the rule of law. Am I right?"

Deng Shaoqun didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng's words would actually ask him to sacrifice his relatives for the sake of justice. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Xiao Fang, you can't say that. First of all, whether Shaoan is involved in organized crime or not, we need to investigate carefully; secondly, the people will not think well of the government. Even if Shaoan is punished, I am afraid that the people will mistakenly think that we have done something in it, and they will only think that the government has dealt with him lightly. So I think the more appropriate way should be to make a big thing small, and a small thing nothing. Instead of going through the legal process, go through the mediation process, give the victim a certain amount of compensation, and make up for the previous mistakes."

Fang Zhicheng stared at Deng Shaoqun seriously and said, "Secretary Deng, I have to say that I am a little disappointed in you."

Deng Shaoqun smiled and said, "Same here."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "It seems that we are going to have a disagreement on this matter. Although you are the monitor of the officials in Xiaguang District, I still insist on my own ideas and deal with this matter seriously. Now the province and the city are emphasizing the reform movement to restore a quiet and harmonious environment to the society. As a party member, I have the obligation and responsibility to respond to the call."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng's tough attitude, Deng Shaoqun angrily slammed the coffee table, pointed at Fang Zhicheng's nose, and cursed: "Fuck, I have been tolerant of you again and again, do you think I, Deng Shaoqun, am easy to bully? Don't think that your bottom is clean. I recently arranged for someone to investigate. You have ambiguous relationships with several women, live in a luxury house and drive a luxury car. Doesn't your behavior violate the regulations of the rectification movement?"

Fang Zhicheng smiled calmly and said, "Old Deng, calm down. You are so fierce and aggressive that it only makes you look like a person of low quality."

Deng Shaoqun was stunned. He saw no fear in Fang Zhicheng's eyes, but only a hint of ruthless ridicule.

Fang Zhicheng said coldly: "Since you, Old Deng, have seen through my lies, I will just speak frankly. In this matter, you can only get away with it if you follow my instructions."

Deng Shaoqun showed sarcasm in his eyes and said, "Fang Zhicheng, don't forget that I am the Party Secretary of Xiaguang District. Do you think that if you catch my brother, I will obey you in every way? I also have my own network of connections. If you don't believe me, just try it. Tomorrow morning, the Municipal Bureau will take over the investigation of my brother's case. Then, everything will return to peace again."

Fang Zhicheng sighed, turned around and came to the desk, picked up a rectangular block, turned around and came to the sofa, he gently pressed the start button, Deng Shaoqun's face began to change, pointing at Fang Zhicheng and angrily cursed: "You despicable villain!"

He obviously didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng would record his conversation. Deng Shaoqun was a veteran in the officialdom for many years, but he was so anxious today that he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to do this.

Everything Fang Zhicheng said to Deng Shaoqun was recorded by the recorder, including Deng Shaoqun's unreasonable demands and overbearing attitude.

Fang Zhicheng had planned everything out, and just as he expected, Deng Shaoqun did not have the patience to come to see him tonight. At the same time, because of his anxiety, he ignored many problems. In addition, he had a outspoken temper, so he easily recorded everything.

With this recording, Deng Shaoqun was implicated and tied to his brother Deng Shaoan. Because Deng Shaoqun's meaning just now was very clear, he hoped to use some connections to help Deng Shaoan escape the crime.

Abuse of power for personal gain is a taboo behavior. Now it is in the spotlight, and departments at all levels are looking for examples. Deng Shaoqun's behavior is easy to be punished. He realized that he was in an awkward situation and was completely played by Fang Zhicheng.

Fang Zhicheng carefully put away the recorder and said with a smile: "Old Deng, it's not that I'm mean, but I have a habit. This recorder is always placed on my desk. Every day I will quickly listen to what the recorder records, which helps me to better sort out my work ideas. However, Old Deng, don't worry, although your words and deeds are recorded by the recorder, I promise that I will never make it public, because once I do that, everyone in the officialdom will be in danger in the future, and everyone will be on guard against others. How can such an officialdom environment be clean? Wouldn't you dare not tell the truth?"

Deng Shaoqun's eyes revealed anger, and he said, "Fang Zhicheng, you are so cruel! Make demands!" Deng Shaoqun's psychological defense finally collapsed. He found that Fang Zhicheng had set up many traps, accurately guessed every detail, and then waited for him to take the bait.

Deng Shaoqun was now in a desperate situation and had no choice but to compromise. Although he had some information about Fang Zhicheng given to him by Jin Feng, he had no specific evidence of Fang Zhicheng's corruption and bribery. Issues such as relationships between men and women were not within the scope of this rectification movement, and it was just hearsay, with no evidence of catching him in bed.

However, the leverage Fang Zhicheng held was extremely powerful. It was a fact that Deng Shaoan maliciously embezzled other people's assets and caused casualties. Deng Shaoqun wanted to abuse his power for personal gain, which was clearly recorded by the recorder.

Deng Shaoqun fully realized that he had been tricked by Fang Zhicheng. It was a trap from the beginning to the end.

Chapter 0521 People are divided into different levels

In order to plan this situation, Fang Zhicheng endured for half a year. When he first came into direct contact with Mo Jin, he began to investigate Deng Shaoqun's weaknesses. After finding Deng Shaoan as his target, he did not act rashly, but had a series of confrontations with Mo Jin, diverting Deng Shaoqun's attention and making him mistakenly believe that his target was in the government. Fang Zhicheng even borrowed Deng Shaoqun's hand to weaken Ma Zhencai's power and recruit Mo Jin, Jiao Zhengcai and others.

Fang Zhicheng's initial target was Deng Shaoqun, because Deng Shaoqun was full of hostility towards him on the first day of his appointment. Fang Zhicheng knew that if he did not play a game with Deng Shaoqun, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Xiaguang District.

Deng Shaoqun underestimated Fang Zhicheng. He didn't know that Fang Zhicheng had been influenced by Song Wendi and was already well aware of the routines of fighting wits and courage in officialdom.

In fact, the game between Fang Zhicheng and Deng Shaoqun was exactly the same as the tactics used by Song Wendi in his original fight with Xia Xiang. They both kept a low profile and waited in the backend before making a strong move. However, the strategy was more covert, and Fang Zhicheng hid his intentions even more deeply.

Deng Shaoqun's face darkened. He finally sighed and said calmly, "Go ahead. I'm mentally prepared."

Fang Zhicheng clasped his hands together and said, "First, Deng Shaoan must be punished. Although he was not the one who directly caused the victim's serious injury, he was the mastermind behind the scenes and must bear the responsibility. Of course, the severity of the responsibility can be reduced appropriately. Second, Xiang Xin, Du Fei and others showed the extraordinary qualities of an excellent public security officer when handling this case. They were not afraid of various difficulties and insisted on their ideals, so they need to be recognized and encouraged."

Deng Shaoqun's expression became increasingly ugly, and he said, "You mean to say that my brother must go to jail, and at the same time Xiang Xin and Du Fei must be promoted?"

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said calmly: "This is already the best result."

The worst result is that Deng Shaoan will not only go to jail, but also be severely punished. At the same time, Deng Shaoqun will also be implicated, which is likely to affect his future career. Once Deng Shaoqun's position is shaken, Fang Zhicheng will naturally have power. At that time, if Xiang Xin and others want to be promoted, it will be a matter of a word.

This was indeed the loot that Fang Zhicheng's men had left behind.

Deng Shaoqun became rational. After thinking for a long time, he said, "I can give in, but I hope you can show mercy to my brother."

Fang Zhicheng nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. After all, he is not the main person responsible. We have already arranged people to hunt down the murderer. If he can be arrested, Deng Shaoan's responsibility will be greatly reduced."

Deng Shaoqun looked at Fang Zhicheng deeply, with many thoughts in his mind. He had little contact with Fang Zhicheng. Although the two of them were the main and deputy, they rarely communicated privately. More importantly, Deng Shaoqun had never regarded Fang Zhicheng as an opponent of the same level before, and now he found that he was very wrong.

Yu Jinping had been waiting in Deng Shaoqun's office, waiting for him to push the door open. He could already tell something from his expression.

"Will we continue with tomorrow's plan?" Yu Jinping asked. According to Deng Shaoqun's plan, he would go over to Fang Zhicheng today to make a feint, seemingly compromising, but in fact, negative news about Fang Zhicheng would appear on the Internet tomorrow. Yu Jinping had already contacted the platform and the gunman, and was only waiting for the right time to release the information online in an orderly manner.

Using public opinion to attack opponents has become an effective method of official gaming.

Deng Shaoqun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Old Yu, I should have listened to you earlier and shouldn't have regarded Fang Zhicheng as an opponent."

Yu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just me who thinks so. Chen Chao also reminded me before and asked me to persuade you."

Deng Shaoqun said with displeasure: "Are you all sure that I can't beat him?"
