alcohol before, even more than today. He was fine then... 。Today, I drank so little, more conservatively than usual, yet I couldn't seem to hold my liquorXiao Zheng glanced at the wine glasses beside...Li Zhong is a standing committee member of the Discipline Inspection Commission (DIC). Due to his work nature, he comes into contact with the most discipline inspection commission secretaries of various units on a daily basis. For larger units, he directly interacts with the party committee (party group) secretaries. He interacts relatively less with other members of the leadership team. 。So, Li Zhong was not familiar with the newly appointed Party Committee member and Deputy Town Mayor Xiao Zheng, even a little unfamiliar. 。Xiao Zheng took a step forward, extended his hand to Li Zhong, and said: "Li Constant Committee member, hello, I am Xiao Zheng" 。"Li Zhong looked up and down at Xiao Zheng, also reached out to shake his hand, and said, 'Commissar Xiao is very young.'" 。I'm so sorry, but since we received a report, we have to investigate. I apologize for the disturbance to your work. 。"After a few sentences, Xiao Zheng felt that Li Zhong was different from the disciplinary inspection cadres he had in mind. Li Zhong was quite shrewd and even didn't seem like a disciplinary inspection cadre." 。...But his attitude also dispelled Xiao Zheng's resistance. He politely said, "Comrade Li, I understand this, and I will fully cooperate with the investigation..." 。“Mr. Xiao, the report alleges that your father received cash and gifts from others on your instructions.” 。So, I'd like to ask you to come with us to see your father and get the situation straight. 。“Xiao Zheng: “I never authorized my father to say that. I believe my father wouldn’t do such a foolish thing on his own.” 。“We are confident in Mr. Xiao's character and the quality of his father.” 。Investigations must ultimately be conducted, and we still need to follow the procedures. 。“Okay, I’ll give my father a call and then we’ll go together.” 。Li Zhong made a stop gesture with his hand and said, "There's no need to call." 。We have a regulation that prohibits parties from contacting their relatives by phone to prevent collusion and other misconduct. 。Although Li Zhong spoke politely, his attitude was very firm. 。The disciplinary inspector beside Li Zhong said in a cold voice: “Commissioner Xiao, please hand over your phone to us for safekeeping.” 。Xiao Zheng glanced at the disciplinary inspector, noticing that he now held a yellow envelope with "Discipline Inspection Committee" printed on it. 。Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Zhong again, and Li Zhong nodded and said: "Trouble Commissioner Xiao, your phone is also temporarily kept by us. After the investigation is over, we will definitely return it." 。Xiao Zheng didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he took out his phone and handed it to the disciplinary inspection cadre. The man put the phone in his bag, then took a stapler from beside him and sealed the bag shut. The procedure seemed very formal. 。Li Zhong then turned to Guan Wenwei, secretary of the Zhen Party Committee, and said: "Secretary Guan, I'm sorry first, we're going to Green Water Village with Commissioner Xiao." 。"The town head said, "Good, go quickly and come back quickly. I'm waiting for Comrade Li here in the town. Let's have lunch in town at noon." 。Li Zhongdao said: "I won't eat." 。"The town chief strongly demanded, “Comrade Li, since you’ve come once, you must have a meal in the town!" 。"He said, gripping Li Zhong's hand tightly. " 。Li Zhong is after all just a deputy at the county Party Committee for Discipline Inspection, he still has to give face to a regular position at the township level. He said: “Let’s talk about it later.” 。Saying that, Li Zhong nodded to the other people in the conference room, then turned and walked out with Xiao Zheng. 。Xiao Zheng, under the escort of three other disciplinary inspection officials, walked down the stairs, out of the first-floor lobby, and into the disciplinary committee's car. 。At the entrance of the town government, a group of cadres and masses chased after him. They weren't there to see Xiao Zheng off; they were full of suspicion and wanted to figure out what was going on. Some cadres speculated, "Could it be that Commissioner Xiao has done something wrong too" "Impossible! I heard that Song Guoming was sent in by Commissioner Xiao. Could he have a problem himself" "That's what I can't understand!"A citizen who was handling business here spoke more bluntly, "Officials really don't have one clean behind their butts. It's satisfying to catch more corrupt officials!" Another citizen said, "The more the better!""What nonsense are you talking about here!" The voice of Gao Zhengping, chairman of the town people's congress, rang out from the stairs, "Commissioner Xiao just took them to see a place! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the situation! All disperse! Those who have work to do go do it, and those who have business to attend to go attend to it!"Seeing that it was Gao Zhengping, everyone dispersed to both sides of the corridor. 。Gao Zhengping came down because the town head was worried that after Xiao Zheng and the Discipline Inspection Commission's personnel left, some people would spread rumors. So he asked Gao Zhengping to come down and disperse the crowd, silencing everyone. 。

Xiao Zheng sat in the Jiwei Commerce car, heading towards Fengqi Village. On the way to Lushui Village, the driver wasn't very familiar with the route, so Xiao Zheng pointed him in the right direction. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of Xiao Zheng's house. 。Xiao Zheng saw that the door to his house was closed, and said: "Here we are, this is my hometown." 。My parents currently live here. 。Everyone got out of the car and was still surprised to see that the trees, roofs, and ground were covered in stone dust. 。After getting off the bus, Li Zhong and others felt a bit out of sorts and coughed twice. 。Xiao Zheng seized the opportunity and said, "Li Secretary, this is the living environment of the villagers in our Lushui Village." 。Many other villages in the town are similar. 。This is why we must push forward with the mine closure work in our town. 。Every day we work hard, the village environment becomes a little better! But because we've been doing so much, we've also offended some people. 。。He nodded to Xiao Zheng: "Understood" 。Then he asked Xiao Zheng, "Are your parents' house locked up Aren't they home"

"They're usually there. My father got pneumoconiosis a few days ago and hasn't fully recovered, so he's resting at home now. He should be at home." >>> 。Xiao Zheng walked towards his own door, "The air is too bad. To keep the dust out, people in the village all close their doors." 。Saying that, he stepped forward and pushed the door of his own house. Sure enough, the door opened inward. 。Li Zhong and other disciplinary inspection officials followed suit. 。Xiao Zheng entered the room and saw his father, Xiao Rongrong, and his mother, Fei Qingmei, were in the room, organizing vegetables. They seemed to be preparing lunch. 。Xiao Zheng simply called out: "Mom and Dad" 。“Xiao Zheng, how did you get back” Seeing Xiao Zheng, both elders were overjoyed, but seeing the few people with serious expressions behind Xiao Zheng, the two elders were surprised again, “These are your friends”

Li Zhong stepped forward to introduce himself: "Parents of Xiao Zheng, I apologize for disturbing you" 。We are staff members of the county Discipline Inspection Commission. Today, we are here primarily to investigate a situation. 。Fee Qingmei didn't know who the staff from the county Discipline Inspection Commission were, so she just said vaguely, "Oh oh, please sit down, please sit down, I'll make some tea." 。“The cadres from the county Discipline Inspection Commission said, 'No need for tea, we'll just leave after we get to the bottom of this!'

Xiao Zheng's father, Xiao Rongrong, usually chatted with some men at the mine and had heard words like 'Discipline Inspection Commission,' 'anti-corruption,' etc. He knew that when cadres were taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, it meant they were corrupt.” 。Therefore, upon hearing "County Discipline Inspection Commission," he became a little nervous and asked, "What is the investigation about Let's sit down and talk." 。Li Zhong sat down at the square table in Xiao Zheng's house and invited others, "Since you're here, why don't you sit down too" 。An ethics official sat beside Li Zhong, opened a notebook, and turned on a voice recorder, ready to take notes. 。Feiqngmei still poured tea for everyone, but the tap water in the village wasn't good, and there was a taste that even the tea leaves couldn't mask. 。Li Zhong still took a sip, then asked Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei: "Xiao Weiyi's parents, hello, we just tell the truth." 。We have received a report alleging that your son, Comrade Xiao Zheng, instructed his parents to accept bribes from others. Is there any truth to this Please answer truthfully. 。Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei looked at each other, as if they understood. The people from the Discipline Inspection Commission had come to investigate their son's bribery issue. 。This is outrageous! How could our son possibly accept bribes Why would they even take bribes on his behalf! The two of them quickly waved their hands and explained, "No, no..." 。Our whole family is clean and wouldn't do something like that. 。Seeing Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei both deny it, Li Zhong focused intently on Xiao Rongrong: “Xiao Gege, you have to tell us the truth.” 。Our Discipline Inspection Commission is also lenient and understanding. Once things are made clear, they're easier to resolve. 。If you conceal it, things will become complicated. 。Li Zhong's originally amiable expression suddenly became sharp and aggressive. 。Xiao Zheng saw this, and he realized that Li Zhong, on the surface, seemed kind and amiable, but when he wanted to be fierce, he could be very intimidating. 。Xiao Zheng didn't want his father to be pressed like this, so he said, "Dad, if there is, there is, if there isn't, there isn't, just tell the truth." 。"Xiao Rongrong made a bitter face and said: “Son, how could your old dad do such a stupid thing In my and your mother’s eyes, your future is the top priority. Money like that, you don't bring it when you are born and you don't take it when you die. Why would we take other people’s money”Fei Qingmei also said: “Yes, leader, you have to believe that we wouldn’t do this. We always tell Xiao Zheng, since you are a cadre, you shouldn't think about getting rich.” 。 。So, we ourselves would never do such a thing. 。Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei's two sentences also softened the hearts of the cadres present at the meeting, especially Li Zhong. His parents usually educated him in this way as well. 。But the whistleblower provided photos, which made Xiao Zheng's parents seem rather insincere. 。The disciplinary inspector standing next to Li Zhongchao said: “Show them the pictures.” 。The disciplinary inspector handed a stack of photos to Xiao Zheng's parents. 。Because there were several pictures, Xiao Zheng also picked up two to look at. 。In the photo, Xiao Rongrong did indeed receive a red envelope and a set of Huayan from Ding Guishan at her doorstep. 。 Fei Qingmei saw this, she grabbed Xiao Rongrong's arm and said: "Xiao Rongrong ah, what are you doing!"

Xiao Rongrong was taken aback, suddenly remembered: "This thing... is wrong... how did these photos end up in your hands"

Li Zhong stared at Xiao Rongrong and said: "This doesn't matter, we just want to make it clear, the red envelopes and cigarettes in the photos, have you taken them"ne to call someone. 。He told the other person on the phone that today, County Party Secretary Xiao Jingyu came to the county disciplinary committee with the director of the county party committee off...
