After Gong Dechao walked out of the district government, he got on a silver van. After about an hour or two, the van stopped by the Han River, and a man stood on the embankment. Gong Dechao calmed down, walked over quickly, and whispered, "Hello, Mayor Zang! I have done what you ordered. I guess Huang Lin has been investigated now."

Zang Yi turned around, nodded, and said, "You have done a good job. You don't have to go to work for the time being. The province will send a business transfer letter to the Agriculture Bureau in a while, and then you can work in the provincial department. I hope you can have better development in the new platform."

When Gong Dechao heard Zang Yi say this, he immediately smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

Zang Yi nodded towards Gong Dechao and stopped talking. His eyes swept towards the Sweat River where water was splashing. The secretary next to him came over and led Gong Dechao down the dam.

After Gong Dechao left, Zang Yi called Jiang Yong and reported, "Director Jiang, I have logged off the Internet as you requested."

Jiang Yong laughed and said, "Didn't expect it to be so fast?"

Zang Yi sighed and said, "Since I promised you, I will naturally help you get it done. But I don't like to use this method. It's not worthy of being used in a high-class place."

Jiang Yong said quickly: "This is just one time, it won't happen again. You know, I'm not doing this for myself, but for Secretary Wen. The relationship in Huainan is complicated now, and Secretary Wen doesn't have full control over the power of all parties. He needs to take this opportunity to weaken some forces."

Zang Yi waved his hand and said, "I don't care about the specific reasons, and I don't want to know. Director Jiang, please remember your promise to me."

Jiang Yong sighed secretly. This Zang Yi was not someone who could be easily dealt with. He said, "Don't worry. Next year's relevant policies and resources will definitely be what you wish for."

Zang Yi nodded and smiled faintly: "I wish Director Jiang all his wishes come true."

Chapter 0761: The truth revealed by the alienation plan

Fang Zhicheng obviously didn't expect Huang Lin to call him, because the matter had been handed over to Cheng Hao to handle. His first reaction was that Cheng Hao couldn't handle Huang Lin. He remembered Mo Jin's words, "Huang Lin has a backer who can't be offended", and sighed. It was precisely because he had a backer that he violated the discipline.

"Secretary Fang, please forgive me for disturbing you." Huang Lin said, "I want to talk to you about the Agricultural Bureau's issues."

Fang Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

Huang Lin said: "I admit that the Agriculture Bureau has some minor problems, but now there are people who are trying to magnify the minor problems."

Fang Zhicheng asked calmly, "Do you think taking kickbacks from seed and fertilizer companies is a small problem?"

Huang Lin sighed and said, "This is also very common in other counties."

Fang Zhicheng shook his head and said, "If I remember correctly, last year some farmers complained that the survival rate of seeds purchased from the Agricultural Technology Station was extremely low, but the matter was suppressed. May I ask you, when the Agricultural Bureau reviewed these seed companies, did it conduct a thorough review?"

Huang Lin was speechless because he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to remember this incident. Last year, the hybrid rice seeds provided by the seed company had problems, which caused many farmers to see a sharp drop in yield when they bought seeds from the agricultural technology station and went back to plant them. After learning about this, Huang Lin arranged for someone to appease them, so the situation did not escalate. But he didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to remember this incident.

Fang Zhicheng had a very good memory. Basically, he would keep in mind any materials he had read. In fact, he had been paying attention to the problems of the Agriculture Bureau for a long time, but he was busy at the time and did not have the energy to deal with it.

Huang Lin smiled bitterly and explained: "Secretary Fang, it seems that you really don't want to give me a way out. However, I will also remind you that if things get out of hand, I am not afraid. I have some resources to get to my current position."

Fang Zhicheng sighed, thinking that Huang Lin's attitude made him speechless. It was clearly him who violated the rules, but his tone was as if he was forcing him to a dead end.

In fact, this is also the mentality of most officials today. In Huang Lin's view, there are a lot of people who are more greedy than himself, and Fang Zhicheng is holding on to his weakness, which is a bit too much.

But Fang Zhicheng was convinced that since you have been corrupt, it doesn't matter how much you are corrupt. Both small and big corruption are violations of discipline and you should bear the corresponding punishment.

The reason why discipline has become an empty word now is that the vast majority of people are numb to rules and regulations, and believe that as long as they do not go too far, small corruption and bribery are not a big deal. This has evolved into the current collapsing official atmosphere.

Fang Zhicheng took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Huang Lin, I think you should actively confess to the Discipline Inspection Commission. If the circumstances are not serious, then there is still room for recovery. If you still insist on being wrong, you will only go further and further."

Huang Lin said coldly: "Then let's wait and see."

Huang Lin's previous humble attitude changed and his tone became stronger.

Fang Zhicheng knew that this was Huang Lin's true face. Some people looked gentle and elegant, but in fact they were sinister and greedy. After being in the officialdom for a long time, Fang Zhicheng would not be deceived by the other party's appearance.

Huang Lin finally chose to call his real backer. For so many years, his uncle only allowed Huang Lin to develop in Hanzhou. His reason was simple. He had retreated to the second line. Although he still had a certain influence in Huainan, if Huang Lin moved to a higher position and something happened, the risk he faced would be greater. As the director of the Agriculture Bureau in Xiaguang, although his position was not high and his power was not great, with his uncle's ability, he could still keep Huang Lin safe.

The old man who had been in the officialdom for decades had long seen through it. Although career was important, the higher one climbed, the greater the risk. The lower the position, the smaller the risk factor. The higher the position, the more enemies and crises one faced. So he asked Huang Lin to keep a low profile and quietly serve as the director of the Agricultural Bureau.

"Uncle, I have a problem here! Someone in Xiaguang wants to investigate me." Huang Lin said in a low voice after the call was connected.

"What's going on?" the old man asked with a frown.

Huang Lin sighed and said, "Isn't it because of the kickbacks the Agriculture Bureau took? In which county or district in Hanzhou doesn't the Agriculture Bureau take kickbacks from those companies? Now someone is making a fuss and wants to investigate me."

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Tell me the truth, how much did you take?"

Huang Lin made a rough calculation and said with some reservation: "I have been the director for almost five years, and the total salary is probably over 100,000 yuan."

The old man sighed and said, "A hundred thousand dollars is enough to investigate you? This does smell like a conspiracy. Don't worry, I will help you think of a solution. Also, don't stay in Hanzhou for the time being, come directly to Qiongjin."

The old man felt that this was unusual. Huang Lin was just a section-level cadre. Was there any need to make a big fuss? So he sent Huang Lin to Qiongjin directly. Otherwise, if someone deliberately took advantage of Huang Lin, they would directly lock him up and interrogate him privately. If they really asked something serious, Huang Lin would be completely finished.

The wind blew outside, bringing a bit of chill into the office. Mo Jin stood up and walked to the window, feeling a bit uneasy, and sighed. Although Gong Dechao didn't push the gun out himself, he had already fallen into this pit.

Yesterday, Zang Yi called Mo Jin and his message was simple and clear: how would it feel if he could help him suppress Cheng Hao

Although Mo Jin is now the district head, his deputy is obviously more trusted by the district party secretary, which makes his work difficult. Mo Jin knows that he can't compete with Fang Zhicheng, but he still has a strong desire to suppress Cheng Hao.
