Chapter 257
: Heart-to-heart talk with Song Dynasty
"Thank you, Xia Xiang." Gao Jianyuan said sincerely, "If you need my help, you have to say it, don't be polite."
Yan Xiao interrupted, "That's right, County Magistrate Xia has helped us so much, but we have not helped you anything? Is the work in An County still going well?" She looked at Gao Jianyuan again, "Do you have any acquaintances in Jianyuan in An County?"
Gao Jianyuan shook his head: "No, I'm not very interested in political affairs. The secretary of An County is Li Dingshan. With him here, Xia Xiang will not be bullied."
Didn’t Gao Jianyuan know Li Chaosheng? So, Li Chaosheng is Fan Ruiheng’s person? Xia Xiang smiled: “Jianyuan has a lofty ambition and fights the mall with his own strength. It’s admirable. By the way, I met Wen Yang once in Juxian Villa last time, and there was no news about him for a long time. He is still fine now?”
"Wen Yang..." Gao Jianyuan smiled implicitly and looked at Yan Xiao. Yan Xiao knew it well, so he continued: "Wen Yang was sentenced to life for embezzling public funds."
"I didn't expect Wen Yang to be such a person?" Xia Xiangwei was very surprised. Of course, what he was really surprised was not that Wen Yang was sentenced, but that Gao Jianyuan's methods were also ruthless. The failure of the LCD large-screen project made Wen Yang a scapegoat!
Wen Yang deserves it, but speaking of it, he should have mastered some unknown secrets of Gao Jianyuan.
For example, where did Gao Jianyuan's tens of millions of funds come from? With Wen Yang's shrewdness, he would definitely not be willing to be stabbed by Gao Jianyuan, but he had no reason. If he could give him a chance to make up for his merits, he would definitely hold on to it.
Xia Xiang made up his mind secretly.
The dinner was held until nine o'clock in the evening. Xia Xiang never found the opportunity to ask who Xu Dequan was. He was afraid that Gao Jianyuan would be wary of Gao Jianyuan. Moreover, Gao Jianyuan was not happy about his conversation, but fortunately Yan Xiao raised the topic on the side, which was not a bad situation. When the song ended, Xia Xiang stood up with regret and said goodbye. Gao Jianyuan sent him to the door and Yan Xiao sent him to his car.
Xia Xiang started the car, and just as he was about to leave, Yan Xiao’s cell phone rang. The parking lot was still a distance from the restaurant, and the weather was hot. Yan Xiao opened the car door and sat up, and smiled and said, "The weather is too hot, I'll give it a lot. Let's cool down in your car and answer the phone."
Xia Xiang turned on the air conditioner. When he saw Yan Xiao answering the phone, he didn't avoid him. He didn't need to get out of the car and get heated, so he sat still. After Yan Xiao answered the phone, he said a few words first, and suddenly raised his tone in surprise: "Secretary-General Xu's friend? A member of the Standing Committee of An County?" She glanced at Xia Xiang subconsciously, but she still didn't mean to avoid Xia Xiang. She said, "How much money can a party secretary in a township have? How could he buy 5 villas at once?...Okay, no matter, since he wants to buy it, let him buy it, which is a big customer, right? You should also give it some discounts..."
After putting down the phone, Yan Xiao asked with great interest: "Secretary General Xu... County Magistrate Xia should know him, right?"
Xia Xiang's heart was pounding. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiao's phone call made him very rewarded. He suppressed the surprise in his heart and nodded and said, "I heard of it, but I don't know it, so I can't climb up."
Yan Xiao was not at all guarded by Xia Xiang. She laughed: "County Magistrate Xia is really good at joking. What are you talking about? Secretary Xu is his own person. If you want to know him, it is very simple. Just let Jianyuan arrange it."
A stone fell to the ground in Xia Xiang's heart, and it was confirmed that Xu Dequan had already leaned against Gao Chengsong, which was equivalent to moving Li Chaosheng, which might alarm Gao Chengsong. It really touched his whole body and made people feel uneasy. However, if he could really connect Li Chaosheng with Gao Chengsong a little bit from Li Chaosheng, would it prompt the Gao family to collapse as soon as possible?
"It's better not to be needed. He is a dignified member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. My level is too low, and it's useless to know him. It's better to have another member of the Standing Committee in An County to protect him." Xia Xiang was absolutely shocked when he heard the news just now. He intended to lead him to the superiors and wanted to hear Yan Xiao confirm it personally.
"It's easy to say that it's very easy. Li Chaosheng from An County is the one of Secretary-General Xu. I took the time to call Secretary-General Xu. Secretary-General Xu passed the conversation and Li Chaosheng would definitely look at you differently." Compared with Fan Zheng's impatience and Gao Jianyuan's loss, Yan Xiao didn't seem to be too worried about the failure of the Xishui project. She likes to laugh when she talks, and often laughed three times before she finished a sentence. "But I'm surprised that An County is not rich. Li Chaosheng is just the party secretary of a township. Why is he so rich? He bought 5 villas in one go and wanted to sell Jianyuan. In my opinion, his purpose has really been achieved-it's estimated that his name will reach the ears of the provincial party secretary tomorrow. A township party secretary is remembered by the provincial party secretary, and it's hard not to be promoted."
Yan Xiao spoke like talking to herself, or it was like saying it to Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang felt a little guilty. The so-called speaker was unintentionally listened to the intention. Yan Xiao didn't know how much help Xia Xiang was. The help to Xia Xiang was like dragging down the Gao family one day earlier, which was like digging a hole for herself.
Xia Xiang sighed secretly, don’t blame me, Yan Xiao, you are just blamed for being Fan Zheng’s cousin. He insisted on doing business with Gao Jianyuan, and the money he did was not right. No matter what, you can’t get rid of the suspicion of helping evil.
Saying goodbye to Yan Xiao, Xia Xiang drove straight to Cao's house. Along the way, he kept thinking that Li Chaosheng had put in enough effort to get promoted and was really willing to invest. The question is, where did he get so much money? Even if he embezzled all the money from the fruit farmers' seedlings back then, it would not be enough to buy 5 villas!
It seems that the seedling incident is just the tip of his iceberg. There may be many secrets hidden behind it, which are unknown. Xia Xiang felt a little excited. He originally thought that Li Chaosheng was just a small fight, but he didn't expect that today he accidentally heard that he was generous and was actually a big fish!
When I arrived at the Cao family, it was rare that the whole family was there. Cao Shujun hadn't seen Xia Xiang for some days. When he saw Xia Xiang, he said happily: "I don't see my brother-in-law now, I'm quite thinking about it. It seems that even I am used to your existence. Basically, it's a foregone conclusion that you marry my sister and can't escape." Then he came to Xia Xiang and smelled it, "It's okay, there is no perfume smell. Now I have to check you frequently for my sister. Men now are unreliable, especially excellent men like you."
Xia thought that he would talk to Cao Yongguo today. He had no time to pay attention to him, so he said, "You go to the side and cool down for a while. Uncle Cao and I have something to talk to."
"I must plot against others again. Everyone in the officialdom is a traitor." Cao Shujun looked heartbroken, "I will be determined to be a military expert in the future and do research, so as not to enter the dirty officialdom."
Cao Shuqiu kicked him in the leg. The little girl pouted and said with dissatisfaction: "If you talk nonsense, I will ask my mother to punish you to sweep the floor and wash dishes. If you don't do serious things, you will be sarcastic every day. Why do you become stupid as soon as you go to college?"
Xia Xiang laughed: "He belongs to the generation that was destroyed by university."
Cao Shujun couldn't say that the two of them were so disappointed: "In the future, I will definitely have a son, and my daughter is too outgoing."
After hearing this, Wang Yufen smiled and did not refute.
In the study, Xia Xiang joined forces with Mei Xiaolin to obtain evidence of Li Chaosheng's DNA, and all the news obtained from Gao Jianyuan told Cao Yongguo. He knew that Uncle Cao must understand the truth, because he must use Uncle Cao's relationship next, which requires Uncle Cao's strong support. However, he just said that he wanted to defeat Li Chaosheng, and did not say that it might involve Gao Chengsong.
After hearing this, Cao Yongguo was speechless for a long time. After smoking two cigarettes in a row, he slowly said: "In other words, you can't stop now?"
Xia Xiang nodded: "Even if I want to stop, I can't persuade Secretary Mei. In fact, I was still helping her and slowly found some unexpected inside stories. Without my intervention, Secretary Mei would have kept checking, but the progress was not so fast. But since I encountered it, it would be unreasonable if I didn't check the previous one."
"What you mean is to ask Dingguo to come forward and secretly go to prison to contact Wen Yang to see if he can provide some relevant proof?" Cao Yongguo rubbed his head, looking a little worried, "The risk is a bit too great? Have you ever considered what consequences will be borne if things change?"
It is not difficult to ask the director of the Public Security Bureau Sun Dingguo to secretly find someone and go to prison to contact Wen Yang, and it is easy to hide it from others. After all, there are still many people in the top leader of a municipal bureau in the same system.
It was not that Xia Xiang did not consider the consequences, but that he knew that Gao Jianyuan was in a critical period now, and Li Chaosheng couldn't wait to jump out and took the opportunity to show goodwill to the Gao family by buying a villa, giving gifts in disguise, and also saw an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, according to his speculation, Li Chaosheng and Gao Jianyuan would not have any relationship, and must have had contact with each other, and they also learned something, so they dared to make such a big move.
The risk is a little bigger. Xu Dequan alone will make Uncle Cao worry. After all, he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee. But from Li Chaosheng, to Xu Dequan, and then to Gao Jianyuan, and finally involved Gao Chengsong, a series of chain reactions. Xia Xiang believes that if it is operated properly, more hidden problems can be exposed in advance. Even if the Gao family can only collapse half a year or even three months in advance, it is a great thing. In addition to Wen Yang's affairs, Gao Jianyuan also played a disgraceful role. Wen Yang is a despicable person and has average character, but he has no courage to embezzle Gao Jianyuan's money. It is indeed a bit heavier to sentence him to life.
It is precisely because of the excessive sentencing that Wen Yang is unwilling to accept it and there is a lot of articles to write.
Although the whole incident was complicated, Xia Xiang believed that as long as he kept a close eye on Li Chaosheng and investigated the problems behind Li Chaosheng, he would definitely gain a lot.
"The risk is indeed not small, but since Secretary Mei has also participated in it, she has some strength to use it. We just need to promote the fire. This opportunity is very good and cannot be missed. Li Chaosheng has done too much. Thousands of acres of fertile land in the township are abandoned, and the people are so pitiful." Xia wanted to know that Uncle Cao has always been conservative, and he could only impress him from two aspects: pleading for the people and having no way out. "Where can the party secretary of a township get so much money? How much money does it take to plunder the people's wealth and ointment, it is simply a scum."
Seeing that Cao Yongguo was slightly moved, Xia Xiang continued, "And at the beginning I didn't know that this matter would be so complicated. I have been secretly helping Secretary Mei. Now there is no way out. Regardless of whether I withdraw or not, Li Chaosheng will eventually doubt me. Instead of retreating, it is better to continue to investigate it to the end."
This sentence obviously touched Cao Yongguo. When Xia Xiang really had no way out, Cao Yongguo had to pull up whatever he said. He looked at Xia Xiang for a few times and thought that he was really a young man who was not afraid of heaven and earth. Sometimes he was so mature and steady that he was not commensurate with his age, and sometimes he had the courage to move forward, which was really hard to see through.
Just check it. Li Chaosheng is really a problem. As long as the evidence is conclusive, Xu Dequan will not protect him at the critical moment. This has always been like this in the officialdom. When everyone is well, they will be in peace. As long as one party makes a mistake, the other party can protect him. If it cannot, he will definitely lose his car to protect his handsome man.
"I can tell Dingguo to investigate the matter of Wen Yang. I am not familiar with the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and can't speak. You'd better hide behind the scenes and let Secretary Mei do things head-on conflicts. After all, you are not a member of the Standing Committee and cannot speak. Of course, you can also let Secretary Li come forward to respond to Secretary Mei." Cao Yongguo also made great efforts to make Xia Xiang plan and minimize his danger. He knew that fighting is indispensable in the officialdom. Xia Want to withdraw now means offending Secretary Mei. Mei Xiaolin was able to airborne from the capital at the age of 28 to An County as deputy secretary. Yan Province and Yan City need people to do it.
Moreover, what Xia Xiang did was also for the people and was worthy of praise. He considered it from the perspective of maintaining Xia Xiang and let him do things more perfectly.
Xia Xiang also understood Uncle Cao's sense of protection and said, "I will protect myself. The purpose of the struggle is to defeat the opponent, not to die with the opponent."
With Xia Xiang's words, Cao Yongguo was completely relieved. He also knew that Xia Xiang had always been cautious in doing things and had never had any trouble. This was also an important reason why he considered it over and over again and again and decided to let Xia Xiang give it a try.
When the urban village renovation group was in office, when facing disputes between various forces, Xia Xiang still had the ease of dealing with it. It can be seen that he always maintained a calm mind and extraordinary judgment, and even had more accurate vision than his eyes twice. Cao Yongguo also had a lot of expectations for how big the storm Xia Xiang could cause.
It was already late after talking to Cao Yongguo, so Xia Xiang didn't say anything to Cao Shuyan, so he went to bed and went to bed.
The next morning, he took the initiative to call Song Chaodu and asked him if he had time. He wanted to go there if he had something to do. Song Chaodu paused slightly and said, "You can come and sit at any time if you have something to do. Anyway, I have free time now."
Xia wanted to know that it was time for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Song Dynasty.
This time it was the door that Song Chaodu opened himself. He smiled and pointed to the room inside: "Be gentle, Xiaofan has not woken up yet."
Xia Xiang lowered his head and looked for the fat-toe shoes that Song Yifan asked him to wear every time. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find them. Song Chaodu saw the problem and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xia Xiang talked about Song Yifan’s small request in the past.
Song Chaodu laughed: "I forgot to say that she just bought you a pair of slippers, which was inside the shoe cabinet, saying that she would not let others wear it..."
Xia Xiang looked it out from the inside, hehe, Song Yifan bought him the best slippers, and the size was just right, but he didn't think he could see that, he was also a careful little girl.
Xia Xiang is familiar with the Song family now, so he came to the study with Song Chaodu, so he took the initiative to make tea and pour water. Song Chaodu didn't stop him, and said a few words, and sat down to read the book. After Xia Xiang finished his work and put the teacup on, he put down the book and said, "Sit down and tell me what's wrong."
Xia Xiang pondered slightly and said, "Minister Song, when I was jointly investigating an incident of cheating and harming farmers in An County and Secretary Mei, I found Li Chaosheng, a member of the county party committee standing committee and secretary of Danbao Township Party Committee, and there was preliminary evidence to show that Li Chaosheng had a lifestyle problem. However, I also learned that Li Chaosheng is Xu Dequan's man, and Xu Dequan had already leaned against Secretary Gao, and Li Chaosheng bought 5 villas from Gao Jianyuan in one breath..."
Xia Xiang clearly spoke to Song Chaodu, there was no need to be too straightforward. He just needed to click. With his political sensitivity, he would definitely know his intention. First, he expressed his determination to get closer to him, and second, he would also seek his opinions.
After hearing this, Song Chaodu showed joy in his eyes. He stared at Xia Xiang for a long time and said slowly: "I always thought I knew you better before, but now I realized that I still haven't seen through you. Xiao Xia, you can come to me on your own initiative and tell me such a major thing. I'm very happy..."
Xia Xiangxin thought, once the Gao family fell, it’s time for you to go on stage. Now, taking the opportunity to get closer and closer can also be considered as paving the way for the future.
What he didn't expect was that Song Chaodu reached out to take out a piece of information from the drawer, stood up and delivered it to Xia Xiang: "You can take a look at this first--and take a good look, and then talk about your opinion."
Xia Xiang took the information in a little confusion. Seeing that Song Chaodu's eyes were full of encouragement and appreciation, he nodded, then looked down and started to look at it with care.
After seeing it for about ten minutes, Xia Xiang raised his head, his eyes full of shock and admiration. Song Chaodu was very satisfied with Xia Xiang's performance and smiled happily: "Of course I won't be idle every day, I always have to do something, right? Don't be surprised, just ask what I want to ask."
Song Chaodu’s materials recorded every commercial operation of Gao Jianyuan in a very detailed manner, from the LCD large screen, to the shares of Jiajia Supermarket, to the development of Xishan Villa and Xishui Villa, the names of the presidents of each bank, the names of the heads of the state-owned enterprises that lend Gao Jianyuan funds, and even how they borrow and operate, how they let the local banks smooth out dead accounts, etc., all of which were extremely detailed, and Xia Xiang was shocked on the spot!
