Chapter 872 Bottom line, political philosophy
Only then did Gu Xiangguo realize that it was not a straight hook, but a set of combined punches. If he dared to intervene and obstruct further digging out the case behind the cold side, then the matter of his lover would no longer be a secret, and would also become a laughing stock for everyone in the municipal party committee compound after dinner!
What should I do? Gu Xiangguo put down Lu Hongzhan's phone call and was sweating profusely. He could not sit and wait for death. He had to fight back to save everything he had now. By the way, he slapped his head, went to the capital, and put pressure from top to bottom.
But Gu Xiangguo didn't know that Xia Xiang went to the capital to recuperate, but in fact he went to clear the relationship first, because Xia Xiang knew very clearly what kind of uproar would cause in Lang City due to a JiaoDian case.
In fact, at the beginning, Xia Xiang did not expect that so many people would be involved in the JiaoDian case, nor did he realize that JiaoDian is not an isolated model, but a microcosm of countless unjust, false and wrong cases!
Xia Xiang learned from the investigation and evidence collection of Yingcheng and Li Fei that after nearly half a year of open and secret investigations and secret investigations and evidence collection caused by the JiaoDian case, Li Fei dug out many valuable clues from the fourth wife of the cold-stained party Xu Lili and the lover of Gu Xiangguo Xu Shanshan through various channels, and finally summarized and found that the amount of bribery in the cold-stained party was at least more than 40 million yuan.
If the above is not the decisive factor that makes Xia Xiang angry and determined to bring down Gu Xiangguo, the key point is that behind the 40 million yuan of stolen money in the cold-quality square, there are countless bloody crying and unwillingness of the souls, all of which are the lives and blood and tears of the lower class people who have no place to declare their grievances. Xia Xiang is not impulsive justice, nor is it reckless passion. After being an official for many years, he also knows that a person cannot be as clear as water in the officialdom, but he can barely accept the gifts from some illegal businessmen. If the embezzled money is forbidden to be a favoritism and disregard the income of human life, he cannot bear it at all.
As the last justice for the people, if the law loses its credibility, what fairness can society be said? What hope can the people have? What cohesion can they have in their hearts?
Especially when Xia Xiang saw cases that were obviously insufficient evidence but still sentenced, he was inevitably furious and could hardly suppress his anger!
Behind the 40 million yuan stolen money is the tragedy of how many families are destroyed, and how many people are called "Daily and unrestrained" and "Daily and Earthly" is the miserable misery. The Gu Xiangguo hid behind the cold side, assisting the evil, or taking action secretly or indirectly, in short, for his own selfishness, he has harmed the happiness of countless families.
Maybe many people have been executed and become unjust souls under the gun.
In addition, Chen Zailang City is the biggest backer, which has damaged the normal business order of Lang City in open and secretly. Because he is accomplice, Chen Zailang City does whatever he wants, which is also the culprit that the situation in Lang City is complicated and the economic situation cannot be opened.
The ancient country did not collapse, but Lang City could not be peaceful, and Chen could not be uprooted.
Therefore, under the combination of various factors and the inspiration of the JiaoDian case, Xia Xiang finally decided to start a war in ancient and foreign countries in an all-round way - not to start a war. To put it nicely, it was to restore the sky of Lang City. To put it bluntly, it was to move away the biggest stumbling block on the road ahead of Lang City that he opened up the situation in Lang City.
Since the above has not expressed any of his current actions, it proves that his current actions in Lang City have not satisfied the people behind the scenes. Since this is the case, Xia Xiang must continue to work hard and continue to promote his ruling philosophy in Lang City. Now he has a vague feeling that he still has a long way to go in Lang City. Moving Tu Yun away from the front and taking the opportunity to overturn Ma Yangtian is only the first step, so the second step will establish his weight in the minds of the people behind the scenes. It is not enough to have the skills of political struggle alone, but also to achieve economic construction and political achievements.
But he is just the executive vice mayor, not the mayor. No matter how political achievements he has, he will be taken away by the secretary and the mayor. Political achievements serve politics. Similarly, only by having the right to speak in politics can one do practical things that are beneficial to the people of Lang City.
Gu Xiangguo is not as ostentatious as Tu Yun, he has a lot of connotations. He is not as cold and dark as Chen, and he also has an open and upright side. He hides the deepest and is the most careful, so it is difficult for people to seize his handle. Jiao Dian's unjust case was accidentally involved. At the same time, Ying Cheng and Li Fei found several unjust, false and wrong cases. Each of them was a bloody tragedy in the world. It finally made Xia Xiang unable to suppress the anger in his heart and decided to use a series of thunder means to make Gu Xiangguo capsized.
He also knew that the power behind Gu Xiangguo was very large. If he was not prepared enough, he would easily be bitten by the snake if he couldn't beat him. This is also the reason why Xia Xiang had been careful and careful on the issue of Gu Xiangguo. Originally, with the evidence in his hands, although it would not cause Gu Xiangguo to be dismissed, it was not difficult to give him a punishment.
What Xia Xiang was worried about was that if he only gave Gu Xiangguo a punishment and angered the person behind Gu Xiangguo, he was either attacked by Gu Xiangguo and Oh Chen, or he might be moved away from his position. The rumors released in the first two times were not only mysterious, but also a warning with clear purpose.
This time when he went to the capital, Xia Xiang wanted to make an advance arrangement in the capital before Gu Xiangguo and beware of the counterattack of the forces behind Gu Xiangguo when things were progressing to a critical moment.
Xia Xiang's original intention was to come to the capital to see Lao Gu first. After all, he had not had a chat with Lao Gu for a long time, and he also had many questions to ask Lao Gu. Unexpectedly, as soon as the car arrived in the capital, he received an unexpected call, and a beautiful woman wanted to meet him.
It's Fu First.
Since the last hijacking incident, Fu Xianxian has disappeared and there has been no news. Xia Xiang doesn't care, knowing that Fu Xianxian is a girl who can do whatever she wants, and he is too lazy to think about where she is doing what she is doing.
Fu Xianxian and the phone call came very suddenly, and her words were also abrupt: "Where are you? I want to see you."
"..." Although Xia Xiang was used to Fu Xianxian's wild thinking, he still couldn't adapt to it when he saw him as soon as he came. "I was in the capital and was about to meet someone, which was very urgent."
"In the capital? That's great." Fu Xianxian ignored Xia Xiang's words that he had something urgent, but said excitedly, "I'm in Quanjude, I'll give you an hour to see me. If it's too late, you will never see me again. Humph, you can do it."
Then the phone was disconnected.
Xia Xiang had just entered the Fourth Ring Road, but fortunately she had not made an appointment with Lao Gu, otherwise she would not have been able to go to Fu Xiansheng's appointment. Xia Xiang didn't believe Fu Xiansheng's threatening words, but she also knew that although she sometimes looked noisy on the surface, she was actually not a person who was unpropossible.
If you go, go, whoever is afraid of whom? Anyway, he has come to the capital. Besides, he just wants to see if Fu Xianxian has completely returned to normal now and don’t leave any psychological trauma.
In an hour, Xia Xiang finally arrived at the meeting place. When she arrived at the room, she saw Fu Xianxian wearing a long skirt, long hair, and glasses without lenses. She sat at the table, quiet and beautiful, like a zhilan. She seemed to have changed her perfume, because the fragrance that came to her face was completely different from her before. She used to be warm and unrestrained, but now she is elegant and distant, just like the fragrance of a flower.
Xia Xiang sat opposite Fu Xianxian. Before he could speak, Fu Xianxian pouted: "What does it mean to be so far away from me?"
Xia Xiangxiao smiled, so she got up and sat next to her. She smiled again, put the menu in her hand, and clapped her hands: "I ordered something good, what do I order, what do you eat, do you have any opinions?"
"Yes, but it's better to keep it first." Xia Xiang was the least picky about what he had. He had no objection to what he had to eat, but he had to deal with the sudden appearance of his first appearance and did not say the reason to meet him. He had a little objection, "First, what's the matter with me?"
Fu Xianxian reached out and held Xia Xiang's arm, his voice extremely gentle: "I just want to see you, can't it be? You are really, and when you meet, you ask me impatiently what I have. Wouldn't you ask me if I'm fine now, and if I have any words like thinking of you..."
"..." Xia Xiang's mind was not about gentleness. No matter how passionate a man was, there were times when he was not. He knew that he had ignored Fu Xianxian's emotional needs, so he reached out and patted her back, "Looking at your careful dressing now, I knew that you had walked out of the shadow and changed your mood."
"Hyit, insincere!" Fu Xianxian said dissatisfied with his words, but the smile in his eyes betrayed her emotions. She still stretched a lot, and the arms that hugged Xia Xiang became tighter. "Xia Xiang, do you think I am more pleasing to the eye than before?"
It must be admitted that Fu Xianxian is a beautiful woman who is extremely pleasing to the eye. She once made Xia Xiang wonder if she and Fu Xianfeng were brothers and sisters, because Fu Xianfeng looked gloomy and could not see any handsomeness. Fu Xianxian had the wildness and sunshine like a little witch. Of course, it may also have a lot to do with the different personalities of the two.
Xia Xiang was just telling the truth, praising Fu Xianxian a few words, saying that she was beautiful, saying that she had temperament, and saying that she had a charming side. She thought that after a few words, Fu Xianxian would giggle, but before she finished speaking, Fu Xianxian started crying, crying so hard that the pear blossoms were raining, and she cried so hard that she burst into tears, completely wetting Xia Xiang's arms and clothes.
"What's wrong?" Xia Xiang comforted Fu Xianxian softly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Fu Xianxian became flustered in surprise. He pushed Xia Xiang away, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and forced a smile, "I'm looking for you today, and I do have a serious business... I heard that you and Gu Xiangguo are not very compatible?"
Xia Xiang nodded. Fu Xiansheng was Fu's family, so he must have known something. Besides, it was an open secret, so he had no need to deny it.
"Fu Xianfeng has evidence of Gu Xiangguo in his hand. I overheard the last time..." Fu Xianxian, who had returned to normal, looked cunning and blinked, "Do you want me to get it for you?"
Xia Xiang had to blink. Fu Xianxian was not lying to him. Her expression told him that she really wanted to do something to repay him, but asking her to secretly steal evidence from Gu Xiangguo was a bit in line with his principles.
Xia wanted to refuse.
It is not surprising that Fu Xianfeng has evidence of Gu Xiangguo in his hands. The cooperative relationship between the Fu family and Gu Xiangguo is not close or reliable. Whether Fu Xianfeng intentionally or unintentionally, what purpose does he have to obtain the evidence of Gu Xiangguo is not considered by Xia Xiangguo. The only thing that worried him was that Fu Xianxian, a once innocent little witch, also began to step into the political vortex for his reasons, making him feel uneasy.
Fu Xianxian saw Xia Xiang's embarrassment, and she suddenly grabbed Xia Xiang's hand: "Can I just let me do something for you? Otherwise, I will never feel at ease in my life. If you don't agree, I will, I will, and I will never let you see me."
Fu Xianxian's threat was powerless, but he had affection. Xia Xiang was grabbed by her wet little hands, felt the tenderness of her palms, and knew that she was moved. Once a woman was moved, her eyes would be like water, her palms would sweat, and her expression was nervous and shy. Fu Xianxian in front of her was clearly a little girl with affection.
"Well... Thank you Xiansheng. I'm determined. If you are willing to do it, it's up to you, but you must pay attention to safety." Although she was secretly attacking her at home, if Fu Xianfeng finds out, she will make a joke if Fu Xianfeng misunderstood that he instructs Fu Xiansheng to do it.
Fu Xianxian jumped up and kissed Xia Xiang quickly: "I will definitely do it without knowing it, so that Fu Xianfeng and his father and grandfather were completely unaware of it. Humph, I'll piss them off to death."
Fu Xianxian never called Brother Fu Xianfeng, but called him by his name, which is also interesting.
Xia Xiang was kissed by a fierce kiss, and she felt embarrassed and smiled: "First, where have you been recently? Why is there no news?"
"I haven't gone anywhere. I practice yoga, exercise, close the door and read books, live in my own world every day, want to do something, but don't know what to do. I want to contact you, but I'm afraid of disturbing you, anyway, it's a wasteland for a person."
Fu Xianxian has changed a lot. He used to be simple and wild, but now he has more worries, more quietness, and more heavy life. He wants to comfort Fu Xianxian, but he has no way to speak, so he has to shake his head gently.
After eating a meal for more than an hour, it was always good, but when she was about to say goodbye, Fu Xianxian suddenly cried again. She grabbed Xia Xiang's hand again: "If one day, I ask you to do something for me, are you willing?"
Xia Xiang nodded heavily without hesitation: "As long as I can do it."
Fu Xianxian was wearing a long white dress and waved his hand to say goodbye. Yixi Yiqi's expression of anger was frozen in Xia Xiang's mind for a long time. It was not until one day when he woke up at midnight that he knew what the pain in Fu Xianxian's heart was.
...
After more than half a year, I saw Lao Gu again in the deep courtyard of the capital. It was approaching midsummer. The lush courtyard was particularly quiet, and Xia Xiang finally relaxed.
The career path in Langshi not only fluctuates, but also goes up and down again and again, without giving people a chance to breathe, which makes people exhausted both physically and mentally. As the decisive battle approaches, I finally feel a little calm and peaceful in my heart. To put it bluntly, perhaps it is the tranquility before the war, and the truth is the same as the darkness before dawn.
Lao Gu was very good in spirit, but he was even more vigorous than before. When he saw Xia Xiang, he laughed happily and grabbed Xia Xiang: "Haha, Xiao Xia, my job in Lang City is really good, with great excitement, ups and downs, so exciting, just like a big show."
Xia Xiang was speechless. The big show was good, but for those who watched the show, for the people in the show, because they were pulled by the plot, crying or laughing, they felt not the excitement, but the tension and excitement, and the sinisterness that was not worthy of being told to outsiders.
Xia Xiang said, "You are watching the show off the stage, and I am acting on the stage, and I am all in it. Lao Gu, I can't laugh it out."
Lao Gu still smiled cheerfully: "When it's time to laugh, you have to laugh. People have to move forward while twitching, touching the mud and rolling all over the water, which is interesting."
Xia Xiang's personality is not without cheerful side, but the overall situation is not yet determined and she really can't laugh.
I joked with Lao Gu for a few words and sat down to have tea. Lao Gu didn't talk about it, and directly entered the current situation: "You don't have to worry about the situation at the top, and you will generally maintain a balance. You may also understand the movements of the army, and the situation is quite favorable. I don't need to say much about the situation in Yan Province. My influence in Yan Province is limited and I can't help you. It depends entirely on you. One thing that must be reminded is that the Wu family's actions have a profound meaning and have the intention to use you to leverage the situation in Lang City..."
Xia Xiang naturally knew the intentions of the Wu family. Lao Gu’s reminder was also kind, so he nodded humbly: “I know it too, but the use is mutual. The Wu family can use me, and I can also use the power of the Wu family.”
Lao Gu waved his hand: "I fully believe that you can take advantage of the Wu family's power, and I believe that you will not get too close to the Wu family, but some people will worry that your position will change, so I need to remind you that it is better to keep a distance from the Wu family as appropriate."
Xia wanted to understand Lao Gu's kindness. Lao Gu was an opponent of the firm family. He had a fair relationship with the Wu family and had no contact with the Fu family, Mei family and Qiu family.
Lao Gu may have a deep understanding of him, but some people are worried about him. Xia Xiang also knows that if he wants to be promoted and rule the country and no longer serves as a deputy, he must stand in a team, not go left and right, and not walk tightropes.
To be fair, Xia Xiang's consideration of how to deal with the rise of family forces and what kind of relationship he maintains with family forces, or even longer-term, is that when he is in a high position, he will always have a bottom line in his heart.
He is very principled, that is, whether it is a family force or other force, he does not firmly support or firmly oppose it, but takes a stance of adaptability. No matter which force does good deeds for the country and the people, he will support it, and otherwise, he will oppose it.
But now it seems that sometimes when choosing a position, you must oppose the family forces without principles, which also makes Xia Xiang feel a headache. But this is the case with politics. Maybe you can still compromise after taking the team, but before taking the team, one is one, two is two.
