Chapter 683 Sha Ruijin's unexpected turn of events
Sha Ruijin was speechless for a moment. He had to admit that this top leader was very experienced. He avoided the important issues and went straight to the point, turning his legitimate demands into unreasonable ones.
After a pause, he said, "I have a clear conscience regarding what the news mayor said. Accepting public supervision is the obligation of our party and government officials.
If he disagrees with me on this point, I can accept it.
But I cannot accept his false accusations of corruption and sexual relations, which are completely unfounded."
Long Fuhai spread his hands and interrupted, "So I said, everyone looks at things from different perspectives, and therefore has different opinions. You say you are accepting public supervision, but people say you are a news mayor.
Objectively speaking, you are both right.
You say you are not corrupt, but when people see that you often bring a few beautiful female reporters with you, they inevitably think you are corrupt.
This is also the way ordinary people think. We are looking at the problem from different perspectives. Why do you have to make such a big deal out of it and make such a big fuss? "
Sha Ruijin said: "Lao Long, I think you are confusing concepts.
These two things are completely different in nature. The former can be understood as criticism, but the latter has violated the law.
If you were to go by what you're saying, would our law enforcement agencies be able to arbitrarily investigate and arrest civilians based on their own assumptions? Is that right?
Not to mention that I am a mayor, even if I were just an ordinary person, I would not allow such rumors to spread.
Moreover, such rumors not only tarnish my personal reputation, but also smear our Tianzhou City. Whether for my personal reputation or for the reputation of the Tianzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, I believe that they should be clarified.
If you feel that investigating others will escalate into retaliation, then please ask the Municipal Party Committee to investigate me personally and make the results public."
Long Fuhai was stunned. How could he investigate this? If the investigation really revealed something wrong, how would he explain it to the provincial party committee?
Besides, the municipal party committee has no right to investigate a mayor unless he applies to the provincial party committee for an investigation.
How can it be!
In this case, the investigation can only focus on the positive side, otherwise the provincial party committee will probably think that he deliberately suppressed Sha Ruijin.
Long Fuhai took a step back and said, "I know what you're suspecting. I'm just asking the Municipal Party Committee to investigate. Even if they find out the source of the letter and it came from a certain cadre, how should we handle it? And what justification can we use?"
Sha Ruijin said: "Of course, they will deal with it seriously. This 'person' used 'so-called objective' facts to mislead and deceive the general public, causing immeasurable negative impact on me personally. His party spirit and character are extremely poor. Even if he is not expelled from the party, he should be dismissed from his public office."
Long Fuhai said: "Then I disagree even more.
I am not shielding him, it's just because our Tianzhou City is a very inclusive city.
I cannot retaliate against certain cadres or citizens just because they raised some objective opinions."
The two eventually parted ways due to disagreements.
Let’s go back five days. The mayor once again raised the idea of rectifying the name of the municipal party committee at the Standing Committee meeting, and the municipal party committee issued a statement.
They were still beaten back by the group he led.
The reason is of course the same. This letter cannot be completely regarded as evidence of false accusation. It is just the normal opinion of an ordinary person.
Although the approach was somewhat extreme and emotional, it just proved the true thoughts of some cadres, as well as their dissatisfaction with Sha Ruijin's work in Tianzhou and their fear of retaliation.
Sha Ruijin's momentum was completely suppressed, and he could only watch helplessly as the letter of accusation spread throughout Tianzhou, festering, forming sores, and leaving scars on his body.
What he didn't expect was that the other party broke the deadlock so quickly, and even persuaded the provincial party committee to send an investigation team, and the action was so swift.
To be honest, he had never thought about the investigation team coming, and he also believed that Sha Ruijin would not have the face to ask for the investigation team.
With this seemingly plausible thing happening, will Sha Ruijin be any better off now that the investigation team has come?
If the people below take the opportunity to complain, you, Sha Ruijin, will have shit in your crotch.
As it turned out, he underestimated Sha Ruijin's courage to fight to the death, and also underestimated the other party's wisdom.
No one expected that the other party would use a roundabout way to save the country, using Qi Tongwei, an external force, and found an excuse for the so-called exchange of cadres to launch this investigation.
If Sha Ruijin took the initiative to request this matter from the higher authorities, his standing in the eyes of the provincial party committee leaders would be three points lower. If the investigation turned up something specious, his standing would be five points lower.
But the other party chose to rely on Qi Tongwei, the most powerful mayor in Hanjiang.
Qi Tongwei persuaded the provincial party committee leaders, and this turned into a sympathy point.
At least in the eyes of the leaders, Sha Ruijin was wronged in this matter, otherwise even the leading cadres of the neighboring city would not be able to stand it.
The news that the investigation team was coming had been circulating for three days.
His power suffered a considerable blow because rumors started circulating at some point that he was no longer trusted by the province and that this investigation was targeting him.
Even the Standing Committee was affected. Executive Vice Mayor Jia Shangwen and Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary Sun Dazhi began to have ambiguous relationships with Sha Ruijin.
Logically, he shouldn't be worried because he didn't write the letter of complaint.
But sometimes, how can such things be explained clearly? What if one of his subordinates or relatives did something like this without telling him?
It’s hard to explain after all.
Glancing at Sha Ruijin, who stood beside him with a clear demeanor, Long Fuhai revealed a hint of dissatisfaction. "Comrade Ruijin, are you satisfied now? You've made such a big scene. Our Tianzhou is about to launch a major "literary inquisition."
Sha Ruijin was stunned and said with a fierce face: "Lao Long, I, Sha Ruijin, have never thought of launching a literary inquisition. I have said that I am only fighting for my own innocence.
This kind of petty theft and specious behavior should become history.
I have done some research and found that such problems are not uncommon in Tianzhou's history. Even the former mayor has encountered such problems.
I have reason to suspect that his suggestions were not legitimate and that there must be some hidden secrets behind them."
This key discovery was provided by Guan Xiong from the Public Security Bureau, which made his request legitimate and well-founded.
Now it was Long Fuhai's turn to be speechless. He also felt strange.
Every time he was fighting an opponent in a fierce battle or even at a disadvantage, this thing would appear, making him feel like he was assisted by God. Now that he thought about it, it was really possible that his interest group had intervened.
If this were to be discovered, even if Long Fuhai had eight mouths he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
The person is yours, and you are the one who benefits the most. Who would believe you if you said you didn't give any instructions?
Long Fuhai felt a little uneasy.
