The reason why Xia Bicheng suddenly came up with this idea that even he himself thought was a bit absurd was because he discovered some common qualities in the eyes and expressions of Secretary Lu and Ye Ming that could only be understood but not explained. Second, because he suddenly recalled a rumor he heard from Wang Hai by chance again about Secretary Lu.
Although Xia Bicheng is Secretary Li's confidant and has always received Secretary Li's care and cultivation, out of the need to balance the relationship and out of a subconscious self-protection mentality, Xia Bicheng has been secretly communicating with the Secretary-General of the Provincial Party Committee Wang Hai and Xie Hongda, the Organization Minister of the Provincial Party Committee, maintain a relatively good relationship. Whenever there is an opportunity, he will invite one of the two of them to a quiet and high-end hotel or tea house for a meal or tea. , and take advantage of the situation to give them some valuable gifts or even red envelopes to connect with each other and consolidate friendship.
Secretary Li actually knew that Xia Bicheng was doing these little things behind his back. However, because at that time he was only the deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, had not joined the Standing Committee, and had no ability to further help and support Xia Bicheng, therefore, he fawned over Xia Bicheng to please Wang Hai. I still understand Xie Hongda's behavior very well, I have not blamed him, and I really don't have any prejudice against him in my heart.
However, in the past year, Secretary Li discovered that Xia Bicheng was a little too balanced, too tactful, a little too sophisticated, and a bit like a grassroots. Therefore, Secretary Li, who was upright by nature, had some opinions on Xia Bicheng, and some Xia Bicheng could feel this, so he was very anxious now, eager to regain Secretary Li's trust.
As for the rumor about Secretary Lu when he was young, Xia Bicheng heard it from Wang Hai.
Not long after Secretary Lu was transferred to Tianjiang, Xia Bicheng once invited Wang Hai to a fish restaurant to eat live fish. The two drank a few more glasses of wine, and their conversation became more and more speculative.
When talking about the newly arrived Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Lu Zhiyao, Wang Hai suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Director Xia, let me tell you a big secret: According to a friend of mine in Beijing, the newly arrived Secretary Lu Zhiyao While working at the Youth League Central Committee, he went to the Capital University Chinese Department to study for two years, and during these two years, he made extremely serious style mistakes, and was almost punished for it. If it weren't for his father-in-law's high position The weight has suppressed this matter. Secretary Lu is probably just a mediocre cadre now. It is impossible for him to be as prosperous as he is now, let alone go to Tianjiang to become a frontier official, haha,"
When Xia Bicheng heard this, he was quite surprised and quickly asked about the specific process.
Wang Hai, with the help of a little wine, told him the matter in detail.
It turned out that Wang Hai had a relatively good relationship with Li Weidong, a deputy ministerial leader of a certain central ministry, and this Li Weidong was the colleague who worked at the Youth League Central Committee with Secretary Lu Zhiyao and went to Capital University to study and obtain a diploma together. He was the villain who wrote to Capital University and the Youth League Central Committee to expose the ambiguous relationship between Secretary Lu and Zhao Han.
Since Li Weidong told Lu Zhiyao that he had not resigned, he has been a little unlucky: Lu Zhiyao's father-in-law Gu Shenghao greeted the leader of the League Central Committee at the time and suppressed his promotion and promotion, and worked in the League Central Committee for more than ten years Years ago, until Lu Zhiyao became a minister-level leader, he was almost still standing still. After Gu Shenghao died, he finally found an opportunity and was promoted to the position of deputy minister. But by this time, he was already five years old. When you are more than ten years old, it is already very difficult to make progress.
For this reason, Li Weidong hated Lu Zhiyao to the core. He wanted to report Lu Zhiyao's style problems again after Gu Shenghao's death. However, so many years have passed, and the Zhao Han from back then has disappeared now. Even if he went to file a complaint, no evidence could be found.
What's more, the current No. 1 head of the Central Committee is Gu Shenghao's former secretary, and he also has a very good relationship with Lu Zhiyao. If he rashly mentions those past stories about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds, he will probably end up stealing a lot of money. Mi, maybe he will be suppressed and dealt with again because of this.
Therefore, he could only accept his fate and bury his deep hatred for Lu Zhiyao in his heart. He did not even dare to talk about Lu Zhiyao's past with ordinary people, because he knew very well that if he went around telling people about this, Once Lu Zhiyao or the No. 1 leader finds out about this matter, his political life may come to an abrupt end, and the consequences are extremely unpredictable.
However, he was really unwilling to give in, so he told a few people who were very good at Lu Zhiyao's "scandal", including Wang Hai...
From Wang Hai's mouth, Xia Bicheng learned that when Secretary Lu Zhiyao was studying at Capital University, he once had a relationship with a school girl named Zhao Han. His wife even went to the school to make a big fuss and beat the girl. Zhao Han was stunned, but soon after, Zhao Han mysteriously disappeared from Capital University and his whereabouts have never been known since.
According to Wang Hai: The female student who had an affair with Secretary Lu is from Tianjiang Province...
When thinking of the name "Zhao Han", Xia Bicheng suddenly remembered the name of Ye Ming's mother: Ye Han, Zhao Han and Ye Han, although their surnames are different, the pronunciation of their names is the same. So, What exactly does this mean?
At this time, a series of questions began to pop up in Xia Bicheng's mind: Why did a dignified provincial party committee secretary make a special trip to pay homage to an ordinary rural middle school teacher when he inspected Xinlang County? He went to Xinlang County twice. , why did he have to stay in Ye Ming's dilapidated house twice? He was so busy with everything he had to do every day, but why did he spend so much talk and effort to be a matchmaker for an ordinary local tax cadre?
The most important thing is: apart from Ye Ming's feat of saving Secretary Li Runji, he doesn't seem to have any amazing deeds worthy of boasting. As the top leader of a province, why would Secretary Lu do such a small thing? It is obviously unreasonable for civil servants to pay so much attention to it.
What's even more unreasonable is that Secretary Lu's daughter Lu Nianzi and son-in-law Zhang Linjiang are both powerful figures in the capital. It is difficult for ordinary local officials to meet them. However, these two people , he actually came all the way from the capital for a little woman who had an affair with Ye Ming, and within a few days completed the procedures for the little woman to be seconded to the Ministry of Finance, if it weren't for something particularly important Reason, or if it weren't for Secretary Lu's instructions to the couple, this kind of thing would never have happened.
For this reason, Xia Bicheng came to a surprising conclusion: Ye Ming was probably Secretary Lu's illegitimate son. Even if not, he should have a very deep connection with Secretary Lu's family.
