The conspiracy of the courtyard

Lu Zixuan had witnessed arguments between men that turned violent over a disagreement, and he had also seen quarrels that were full of curse words, but today was the first time he had witnessed such a civilized way of arguing.

Although every word is brilliant and every sentence is touching, it still gives people a sense of vanity.

It was not until Wei and Xu stopped the quarrel that Lao Xiao and Lu Zixuan put away their pens and papers and walked out of the yard.

Lu Zixuan shook his head somewhat disappointedly.

"Such a moving performance, I almost thought it was a successful provocation. The way of issuing the order to leave is quite unique. Haha..."

Lao Xiao responded firmly:

“Wrong, they are laying the groundwork for future actions.

Under normal circumstances, if a third party encounters such a situation, they will do their best to persuade or mediate, and they will be able to stop fighting and request confidentiality. Once their superiors hold them accountable, I will also be implicated and become their protector.

If I had refused the alliance, or if any of the things that had come to light during the quarrel had leaked out, they would have immediately accused me of betrayal and openly retaliated against me.

If we report the truth, it will seem inhumane and may easily be criticized for snooping into the privacy of cadres.

From the moment they found out about our relationship, you are no longer the target of their attack. Regardless of whether I am involved in this matter or not, I am their target of suppression, but it is becoming clearer now.

Because Chief Xu and I have always been competitors.

How about it? Do you still dare to reach out? "

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixuan understood instantly. He snatched Lao Xiao's briefcase, took out the materials he had just recorded, and quickly browsed through them. He had to admire Lao Xiao's sharpness.

What he recorded were all the careless words spoken by the two families when they were emotional, including Director Wei using the name of leadership to win over the cadres of the compound, the arrogance and domineering of the Wei family members who oppressed the masses; Section Chief Xu using his power to investigate the privacy of cadres, the Xu family members making private transactions and bribing cadres, and so on.

For some things, there is no need for solid evidence, only hearsay. Although these may not constitute a crime, they are enough to ruin their political future.

Lu Zixuan knew clearly that these materials could not be submitted by Lao Xiao after active investigation, otherwise it would easily give the superiors the impression that he was destroying the unity of revolutionary comrades, which would have a counterproductive effect.

So, Fan Rong walked into the headquarters of the Sijiucheng Military Region with his head held high, carrying a stack of information and everyone's earnest expectations.

A week later, Lao Xiao ordered someone to give Lu Zixuan several punishment notices.

1. Comrade Cen Haitao used deceptive means to obtain state subsidies for personal gain and pretended to be the orphan of a revolutionary martyr, which seriously damaged national interests and social fairness and justice.

Therefore, he was ordered to return all subsidies within a time limit, cancel all related benefits, and hand him over to the public security organs for strict investigation of other illegal and disciplinary violations.

2. Comrade Xu Haoyin, while studying at the university, privately participated in government decision-making, resulting in the persecution of many of his classmates;

He was expelled from school for publicly distorting and slandering education policies on many occasions, inciting students to withdraw from collective labor, causing educational work to lag behind.

3. Comrade Wei Mingwen, who was in charge of budget work at the Finance Bureau of Sijiu City, made unauthorized appropriations, resulting in losses to the national industry. He was expelled from the Party and removed from public office.

4. Comrade Xu Haoruo, who was negligent and slack in his work as a statistician in the Finance Bureau of Sijiu City, and caused errors in government decision-making, was expelled from the Party and removed from public office.

5. Comrade Wei Guoxin, while serving as director of the Office of the Ministry of Industry, violated Party and government disciplines, repeatedly indulged his family members, and illegally persecuted the lives and property of the masses. He was given a one-year probationary period within the Party, received a serious warning, and was demoted and transferred from his original work unit.

6. Comrade Xu Zhongliang abused his authority as the Chief of the Security Section and conducted illegal investigations on leaders at all levels on multiple occasions, causing many cadres to lose their focus on their work. He was expelled from the Party and demoted but retained on another position.

After reading the punishments, Fan Rong shook his head and said:

"The reason for this punishment is different from the one you gave me. What's going on? Did someone bring in contraband?"

Lu Zixuan nodded in affirmation.

"It's normal. This is your uncle Wang's protection for you. If we use the reason we provided, it would seem too deliberate. Besides, it's difficult to punish them with just one or two sentences.

As long as the leaders send out a signal, naturally someone will be willing to provide more detailed evidence, it could be their opponents or their subordinates.

As for the others, it should be Lao Xiao's work, just returning the favor.

After all, Director Wei comes from a military background, and his basic moral and political qualities are good. He will not use those insidious means. As long as his official career is cut off, there will be basically no danger.

Because of the special nature of his job, Section Chief Xu could not be transferred out of the department, and after five years of observation, the security department was almost useless.

No matter what, we won this time, thank you very much!"

Lu Zixuan bowed to Fan Rong again to express his gratitude.

"Little Boss..."

That night, Lu Zixuan, who was writing furiously in the cubicle, heard the greetings between Lao Zheng's family of three and Chen Ping. He suddenly realized something and laughed sarcastically.

Although he was unhappy, he couldn't turn people away, so Lu Zixuan immediately walked out of the compartment, put on a distant smile, invited everyone to sit down and have tea, and ran to the central courtyard to call He Yuzhu's family to chat and cook with him.

After the dishes were over, what was supposed to come finally came. Old Zheng picked up the wine glass, looked at Lu Zixuan and said:

"Xuanxuan, last time, it was all uncle's fault for thinking too much. I really don't want this little thing in my family to cause unrest in your family.

Forget it, I won’t say any more. It’s all in the wine. I’m punishing myself. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Although Chen Ping and the He family were confused, they tacitly did not show any surprise.

After Lao Zheng finished his glass of wine, Lu Zixuan immediately refilled his glass politely, still maintaining a polite smile and being courteous.

"Director Zheng, you're welcome! It's normal for people to strive for higher positions. The same is true for me."

Lao Zheng was embarrassed for a moment, then he coughed lightly to cover it up, then looked at the wine glass and sighed.

"You know, I've been having a hard time at the factory lately, and Rongrong happened to tell me that one of my classmates' family members works in the Ministry of Industry, and his position is not low, so he wanted to take a shortcut.

I really don’t want to be a foil in this shabby factory and waste my time…”

Old Zheng was halfway through his words when he met Lu Zixuan's gaze, quickly looked away, picked up the wine glass again, drank it all, and exhaled heavily the spicy taste in his mouth.

"To be honest with you, I went to the school to knock on Kong Zhao's door once, but he said he could help me get in touch with the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, and I was tempted.

So she asked someone to inquire about it at school, and found out that there was indeed a classmate named Cen, whose family had a background in the Ministry of Industry and had a close relationship with Kong Zhao. Rongrong also had a good impression of him.

When he heard that Kong Zhao was in urgent need of money, he made a deal with him and asked him to match Rongrong with classmate Cen.

Just when the two of them were getting a little interested, Rongrong saw the announcement that he was expelled from school. Kong Zhao went to his house to ask about it, and he said that he was expelled because he offended you.

We came here today to plead for that boy. Please be merciful.

This is how I took the exam..."

"Get out! Now, immediately, immediately!"

Just as Lu Zixuan was preparing to reply, He Yushui's eyes turned red with anger and he slammed the table to send him off.
