"We are currently the main cadres in Wuzhou, so don't sigh for now." Seeing that each of them was relaxed after being extremely nervous, Zhao Toyota reminded, "There are a lot of things to be done now, so we have to start quickly. Don't forget
There will be a grain fleet arriving tomorrow..." He looked at his pocket watch and said, "It's already four o'clock in the morning, and there isn't much time left. Let's discuss it, split up, and deal with the aftermath as soon as possible."
"The aftermath is nothing, and the transportation of food doesn't matter either." Zhu Si frowned and said, "The question is, how do we report it to our superiors?"
This question touches on the core of the problem. Such a big thing in Wuzhou cannot be hidden no matter what. After all, this is the first time that a veteran has been captured, and something must be done from above. Zhao Toyota knows that the elder Xie is
The position of director of Wuzhou is untenable, and he will most likely be "transferred back to Lingao for another appointment" or simply go on a "vacation-style recuperation."
They are all senior naturalized cadres. They know that the elders made huge mistakes and were simply deprived of their power and laid off. But their fate is not so good.
Qian Duo, Zhao Fengdao and Zhu Si all have responsibilities in this matter, but there is room for responsibility. In contrast, Qian Duo is an officer of the Fubo Army. The army always protects its young, and the frontline war is tight, so he went to
As soon as the front line is adjusted, big things will be reduced to nothing. The two local military and political cadres Zhao Toyota and Zhu Si will not be able to escape so easily.
Zhao Toyota pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is of great importance. Chief Xie is not fully awake yet. Some things still need to be decided by him. We don't need to be too anxious now. Do the work at hand well and wait until he wakes up."
Let's discuss it - he is still the top administrative head of Wuzhou. He has to take the big ideas. We shouldn't make any decisions first."
Everyone had no objections and immediately divided the work. Qian Duo readjusted the defense in the city and immediately sent people to Sanhezui to understand the specific losses. Zhu Si was responsible for organizing the cleaning of the battlefield and continued to clear out possible remaining enemies in the city.
They dispersed, and Zhao Toyota took care of inviting Luo Yangming into the office.
"Thanks to you this time!" Zhao Toyota held his hand and didn't know what to say for a while, "Sit, sit!"
"It's my luck," Luo Yangming said without politeness, sitting down on the chair and smiling bitterly, "I made the right bet."
"In the final analysis, you were prepared, but we were unprepared. We were careless." Zhao Toyota said, "What should we do now?"
These words carry a lot of weight, but it is natural for Zhao Toyota to ask. The only beneficiary from this matter is Luo Yangming.
Luo Yangming worked in seclusion and was not responsible for any specific decision-making work except for reporting the situation. Now that he had bravely rescued the elders, he was firmly on the Diaoyutai.
After the matter is over, there will definitely be an investigation team from the Senate to investigate the matter. Luo Yangming's report must be the top priority. When dealing with follow-up issues, it is natural to pay attention to his opinions. Zhao Toyota mentally reviewed his work dealings with Luo Yangming.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the content of the conversation.
Of course Luo Yangming was not stupid and understood the meaning of Zhao Fengtian's words. He thought for a moment and said: "This matter must be based on the wishes of Chief Jie..."
Zhao Toyota sighed: "I'm just worried about Chief Xie's attitude."
The strategy of Guangdong and Guangdong has made great progress all the way, with good news coming from everywhere. Although there is chaos in northern Guangdong and bandits are commotion everywhere, the overall situation is still prosperous. There have been no big troubles. Wuzhou is solid this time except for one big ugly.
After reporting it, it goes without saying that Elder Xie is in Wuzhou. He will definitely have to resign and go home. In the future, he may also play a sideline role in the Senate. Based on Zhao Toyota's experience, Elder Xie's first reaction after waking up will definitely be to try his best.
Conceal this failure.
If Xie Erren wants to hide it, the worst consequence would be to step aside after being exposed - confessing to him frankly is the result. So, nine times out of ten, Xie Yuanlao will do this.
But as subordinates, they are very passive. Chief Xie will definitely ask them to cooperate in concealing the truth. But once it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. The best result is to be transferred to Jeju Island or Taiwan Island. It is completely different from being a cadre in Guangdong.
They are two different things.
If they directly oppose it, even if Xie Erren steps aside and becomes an idle elder, it will still be easy to deal with these few naturalized cadres.
Besides, if he concealed it, Luo Yangming's great achievements would be ruined. How could he give up? He was a cadre with vertical management, and a piece of official document could be sent directly to Lingao.
Luo Yangming has been in the business world for many years and has done underground work for many years. What he is best at understanding is the meaning behind his words. Zhao Toyota's worries are not unreasonable. As Xie Erren's direct subordinates, it is indeed difficult for them to do so.
He thought for a moment and said: "I don't think the chief would be so confused. This matter is so big, I'm afraid we are not the only people who know about it..."
Zhao Toyota nodded: "I've thought of this too. It's just what the leader wants when the time comes -"
"We naturally have to fully explain the situation to the chief." Luo Yangming said, "I think the chief also understands the key points."
"That's all." Zhao Fengtian thought to himself, Luo Yangming was right, it was best to try his best to persuade Mr. Xie not to hide anything.
"...Right now, we still need to figure out the case as soon as possible, especially the details of Hao Ran, Cai Lan, Jiang Qiuhan and the others. We have also captured some prisoners in the city and will interrogate them together. We will try our best to clarify the matter by then.
There is also an explanation for the report." Luo Yangming reminded.
"I will ask Zheng Ergen to take care of this immediately. Even if it is ironclad, I will pry open their mouths!" Zhao Fengtian said murderously.
Luo Yangming originally wanted to remind him, "Don't kill me. You won't be able to explain clearly at that time." But then he thought about it and swallowed his words again. He said, "I need to ask you for help with something."
"Say it."
"This time, Wen Tietou, the leader on the dock, and his men worked hard. There were also many casualties. They are not naturalized citizens. In the end, they are all looking for money. The pension and reward cannot be less, otherwise
It’s easy to chill people’s hearts…”
"I can make the decision on this matter," Zhao Toyota said, "but you have to be responsible for telling them to keep it secret."
"Don't worry about this. I only told them that I wanted a high-ranking official, but I didn't say it was the chief - they don't recognize Mr. Jie anyway."
"Exactly how much it will cost and how it will be divided, you can prepare an application and I will arrange it right away." Zhao Toyota said with a wry smile, "This is another huge expense!"
Xie Erren "woke up" when the sky was bright. In fact, he woke up on the stretcher, but he was too embarrassed to get up immediately and say that he was "fine".
The naturalized doctor came to check his body, and found that there was nothing serious except for some flesh wounds. However, he still pretended to be drowsy and lay there until dawn before reluctantly opening his eyes.
The hygienist who was looking after him saw that he "woke up" and immediately went out to report. After a while, Zhao Toyota came over.
"Chief!" Zhao Toyota came over and held his hand tightly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm still dizzy." Xie Erren touched his head - there was indeed a swelling on it, and I don't know what it was caused by, but it has been wrapped with gauze. He pretended to be calm and said
, "A little injury, how is the situation in the city?"
"We have eliminated all the enemies that have infiltrated. We have also captured many prisoners and are interrogating them together. Everything in the city is normal, and there are no major casualties among the cadres."
"Where's Sanhezui?"
"The enemy hasn't captured it yet and has already escaped. Qianduo sent people to check the situation in detail."
"That's good."
After saying this, the two fell into an awkward silence. Although they tacitly agreed not to mention Erren's capture, they both understood that there must be an explanation for this matter.
After a while, Zhao Toyota said in a low voice: "Chief, how do you think this should be reported to the superiors?"
Xie Erren smiled bitterly and said: "How to report it? Of course I just reported it like this! You cannot bear the responsibility for this matter."
"Chief..."
After talking about it, Xie Erren stopped being secretive and vented: "I don't know about the virtues of the Senate? In addition to Luo Yangming, there may be more than one informant in Wuzhou City! At this time, probably
They are all busy writing reports under the lamp! Hum hum, they are all-pervasive! I just don’t know how to guard against Ming army spies!”
Zhao Toyota hurriedly said: "Chief! Chief!" He originally wanted to tell him "Don't talk nonsense", but the other party was a senator. How could he tell him "Stop talking nonsense"? But he was so angry and furious all the way to the Senate.
Once he revealed some secrets of the Senate, he would be fine, but would he still be alive?
However, he was greatly relieved that Xie Erren had no intention of hiding anything. When Xie Erren's tone became calmer, Zhao Toyota said: "Chief, the enemy is just a small force that has penetrated into the city to harass. Although
The commotion was not small, but it did not cause any serious consequences. It also exposed the enemy's latent organization in the city, eliminating Wuzhou's hidden worries. It still gained something."
Xie Erren was a journalist, so he didn't understand what Zhao Fengtian meant. He knew clearly in his mind that the trick of denying and pushing back would not work this time - there were too many people in the know, and it would not be easy to completely get through it.
, I can only make the fact that I was captured "look better".
He suddenly thought of Cai Lan, and a wave of hatred surged into his heart. He asked, "Have all the relevant suspects been arrested?"
"They've all been arrested." Zhao Fangdeng saw a fierce look in his eyes and knew what he was thinking, "We are under interrogation. We will report to you after we get to the bottom of it."
Xie Erren nodded silently and asked again:
"Who chased him to the top of the city?"
"It's Luo Yangming, leading the dock workers."
"I didn't expect that Yin Gan has such a skill. What a talent!" Xie Erren suddenly felt deeply lonely. He felt that everything in the world had made him lose interest. All the hard work these days had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
