Chapter 30 The Power of the Princes (2)

At home in the family compound of the Beijing Red Cross Association, Lu Zheng sat next to the red sandalwood coffee table, looking through the information in his hand, and thinking about what he should do.

In the empty living room, there is no one at home, my parents and Baishabao have not come back from traveling. After so many years, my dad can relax.

Ask the central government, who should I contact? Should I discuss with my father? Tell him about what happened in southern Yunnan?

While Lu Zheng was thinking, the phone ringing on the coffee table rang rapidly, and Lu Zheng answered it.

"Are Secretary Lu?" In the microphone, there was a slightly familiar male voice. Lu Zheng immediately remembered who he was, Xu Guoping, former member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department.

When the Southern Press criticized itself and Wushan, Minister Xu called himself to use the media he had to argue with the Southern.

In fact, Lu Zheng didn’t have much contact with Minister Xu. If it were someone else, he would definitely not be able to hear that it was Minister Xu through the sound on the phone, but Lu Zheng’s body was actually a bit special.

"Uncle Xu, I am Zhengzi, and my dad hasn't come back yet."

Xu Guoping laughed and said, "Zhengzi, Secretary Lu hasn't come back yet? Haha, I heard that the old couple went on a trip with your fiancée, right? When will Uncle Xu invite you to dinner, and he speaks so quickly. In a blink of an eye, you are going to get married."

Lu Zheng laughed and felt embarrassed. I wonder if Minister Xu knew that his so-called "fiancee" was only fourteen years old.

"Are you alone at home? In this way, come to my place for dinner tonight? I haven't chatted with you for a long time. In this way, you wait, I'll send a car to pick you up."

Lu Zheng could hear that Minister Xu was very enthusiastic and was not polite to him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now, it's time to see people's hearts over time.

Minister Xu once controlled the Beijing Propaganda Department for many years and was also from the China Daily. He is a famous red theorist in the conservative camp. At the same time, judging from the public opinion tendency he has mastered, he is also a tough hawk, an external and an internal. He was promoted in the incident last year. He is now the Executive Vice Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee (at the ministerial level) and is also elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Although judging from the incident last year, he was different from himself and his father's political ideas, but he was promoted by his father and has been calling on his father to come back to work within the party, especially last year when his complete non-avoidance was to take political risks. However, he has a firm position and is a very willful person. In fact, in high-level politics, it is precisely this kind of character that gradually gains influence within the party.

Minister Xu can be said to be one of the most important Yu tribes in the Middle Age of the Beijing School, and is also considered an old representative of the father's party, representing the flag bearer of the father's line in the Beijing School.

Lu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Uncle Xu, I won't go. I just came back and I'm a little tired." Indeed, I need to consider many things myself.

Minister Xu thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, you have a rest. If you want to come tomorrow, you can drive over by yourself. I also gave myself a day off and stay at home all day." As he said that, he sighed softly. Perhaps, he felt that Lu Zheng had some knot in his heart. After all, no matter what happened afterwards, in the critical showdown last year, he did not maintain a political stance with Lu Zheng's father. This can be seen from his tendency to control the articles published by the media.

Lu Zheng also knew that in fact, there was not much right or wrong in these things. Even his father understood Minister Xu's approach.

Listening to Minister Xu's words, Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly and said casually: "My car is in southern Yunnan and has been broken. Okay, I'll take a taxi tomorrow."

Minister Xu seemed slightly stunned and asked, "You have a car accident? Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lu Zheng didn't want to say much, but suddenly, his heart moved.

"I heard that you had an unhappy relationship with people in southern Yunnan? Is there anything wrong?" Minister Xu asked thoughtfully.

Lu Zheng was originally looking for not Minister Xu, but at this moment, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Let's do this. I'm in the Beijing Hotel now and I won't go home. I'll send a car to pick you up and tell me what's wrong." Minister Xu and others knew from Lu Zheng's hesitation that things were not that simple.

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay."

There is a suite in Beijing Hotel, Lu Zheng met Minister Xu.

A secretary next to him used a slightly ancient tea set to help Lu Zheng make a cup of tea. Minister Xu said with a smile: "I heard Lao Zhao mention it and say that you had a conflict with a deputy secretary in southern Yunnan. He called you, right?"

Lu Zheng nodded slightly and placed the materials he brought with him on the coffee table, saying, "It is the son of Qin Liangxing, deputy secretary of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee. In recent years, he used trading companies to smuggle drugs to collect a large amount of kickbacks. He is rampant in the local area. I have three cases of injury and death. Among them, I have three cases of definite evidence, including my secretary. Because of a dispute with him, he was instructed to drink and throw it into the river. He drowned.

Minister Xu had a smile on his face and looked very relaxed. After hearing Lu Zheng's words, his brows gradually frowned. Obviously, he didn't expect that such a serious matter would be. It was Lu Zheng who stood up to testify against the relatives of a deputy ministerial-level official. He patted the materials on the coffee table and pondered silently.

"I have heard of Qin Liangxing from southern Yunnan." Minister Xu thought for a while and said, "Okay, don't worry about this matter, I'll deal with it."

Seeing Minister Xu's expression, Lu Zheng knew that Minister Xu knew Qin Liangxing and also knew that Qin Liangxing had a close relationship with South Yunnan No. 1. Minister Xu naturally knew very well about the status of South Yunnan No. 1. Therefore, although Minister Xu said he would deal with this matter, it is really hard to say what happened in the end.

Lu Zheng thought about it and said, "Qin Xiaolong is Qin Liangxing's son. He completely regards the party's discipline and national laws as nothing. If he does not punish him severely and continues to indulge him in doing evil, I don't know what he can do. Just talk about me, because he knew from his father that I reported his problem to the province, so my life safety was threatened by him. Last night, he looked for me, because I did not agree to his request to settle things, so as soon as he left, I drove out of the parking lot and was hit by two large goods one by one, and the van was basically scrapped..."

"What? Can't you?" Xu Guoping was stunned.

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for the person he ordered, I don't know who I offended in southern Yunnan, especially in Nanzhou."

Xu Guoping's face sank. He slowly lit a cigarette and handed the cigarette box to Lu Zheng. Seeing Lu Zheng waved his hand and declined, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, don't come forward, leave it to me."

He also said that he would handle it, but the meaning of this sentence was very different from the moment.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly.

In a villa near the suburbs of Nanzhou, southern Yunnan.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, Qin Liangxing had a calm face and smoked one by one.

Qin Xiaolong, who was standing beside him, covered his face and did not dare to say a word. He had never seen his father's expression so solemn, and had never been slapped by Qin Liangxing. He was really uneasy. Just now, when he was scattering with two girls, his father came, drove away the two girls and slapped him.

"You sent a car to hit Lu Zheng?" Qin Liangxing stared at Qin Xiaolong.

Qin Xiaolong dared not deny it and said, "Yes, I just want to scare him. Isn't their Lu family no longer possible? This kind of young man is more effective than anything else."

Qin Liangxing smiled, with a sarcastic smile, staring at Qin Xiaolong: "You? Say Lu Zheng is a young master?" He sighed deeply in his heart. Although his son was a young master, he underestimated Lu Zheng. Later, he inquired from many sources and found out why Lu Zheng was pulled down in Wushan. He originally thought that he had just relied on family connections to the young man to make a comeback, and it would be unpopular. Someone took advantage of the collapse of Lu Tianhe and was just a young boy who was famous for the Lu family.

Who knew that later, Lu Zheng, who was less than 30 years old, actually used the benefits of the Special Administrative Region to create a test field with a certain meaning in Wushan. Even a small team with his own political appeals was just a prototype. This person really cannot be underestimated. Perhaps the bloodline of the old master of the Lu family did not appear in Lu Tianhe, but it was fully reflected in his grandson. Before he could stand up, some people called him a small steel company. Obviously, the people who said this regarded him as a seedling of political masters.

If I had known that Lu Zheng was such a person, I would not have treated him so carelessly.

But now, it's too late to regret.

The joint investigation team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Organization Department of the Central Committee has entered Nanzhou to investigate some problems that arise in southern Yunnan. Moreover, the first thing I reviewed was the data files involving Hongxing Trading Company.

It was found out through multiple channels. What furiously surprised the senior central officials was that a deputy department-level Yu Department of the ministry came out to report and expose the problem, but was almost killed by someone in a car accident. Therefore, under the promotion of some central leaders, an investigation team soon came to southern Yunnan, and was preparing to thoroughly investigate many problems in southern Yunnan.

Qin Liangxing could imagine that Lu Tianhe's old friend was already indignant about his experience, but the general situation was like this and he was unable to make things happen. In the party, Lu Tianhe received a lot of sympathy. Now, Lu Tianhe's only son, a deputy department-level Yu Department, was threatened by a car accident in Nanzhou and even attempted to murder it. Naturally, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Of course, these could only be understood.

On the surface, a heavyweight in the Beijing-sected party who was highly a member of the bureau made severe criticism of the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee, not even criticizing Qin Liangxing, but criticizing the Provincial Party Committee No. 1 and the entire Provincial Party Committee team. The border stability maintenance is becoming more and more unstable, private armed forces have been curing for a long time, and drugs have spread to the mainland. In recent years, work in southern Yunnan has been a mess.

Qin Liangxing also knew that the Southern Yunnan Provincial Party Committee faced unprecedented pressure from the central government, and Governor Qi Xuanwang also played a great role in it. Qi Xuanwang might have been waiting for such an opportunity. It may even be that he had participated in it again, but he was hiding behind the scenes.

What's more, some political groups within the party that were already dissatisfied with the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee No. 1 at the central level also took the opportunity to stand up and put pressure on it. It seems that the political arena in southern Yunnan is probably going to undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, no matter how the current situation is caused by various factors, the initiator is his own son or Lu Zheng.

Looking at his son, Qin Liangxing sighed deeply and said, "You are so confused. Lu Zheng is not afraid of something big. You are so lucky. You have delivered it to your door."

Qin Xiaolong gritted his teeth and said, "I should be him."

"Shut up" Qin Liangxing looked at his son in surprise and suddenly realized that in his son's eyes, it seemed that a life was nothing. The little dragon in his impression was not like this at all. Since when did he become less and less familiar with him?

However, Qin Liangxing immediately sighed deeply and said, "Spring is in full bloom, and the scenery in Myanmar should be quite good, you should go and have a look."

Qin Xiaolong was arrogant and domineering, but not stupid. He was stunned when he heard his father's words and said, "Dad, isn't that serious?" The meaning of his father's words was naturally to ask him to go to Myanmar to avoid the limelight.

Qin Liangxing slowly snatched out the cigarette butt, looked at Qin Xiaolong with a complicated look, and said, "No matter what I do, you don't want to come back."

Qin Xiaolong was stunned, and his father's words were like a bolt from the blue. He never thought that in his mind, his father, who was like a towering mountain, would collapse one day. Without his father's life, he could hardly imagine.

Qin Liangxing looked at his son deeply and sighed in his heart. His father might have disappointed his son, but when facing unprecedented pressure from the Beijing faction, even Secretary Li was in danger. How can he be the king and dominate in the mountains? The power of the princes is ultimately nothing but the local princes, so how can they fight against this powerful faction from the north?

"Dad, what should you do if I leave? You won't have any trouble, right?" Qin Xiaolong asked anxiously.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang, for some reason, very harsh.

Qin Liangxing's body stopped, then got up, slowly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and saw many people standing under the night light outside the wooden fence, as if there were armed policemen wearing green camouflage uniforms.

Qin Liangxing looked back at his son. At this moment, Qin Xiaolong was full of horror, as if the end of the world had arrived.

At Lu Zheng's home in Beijing, Lu Zheng was drinking tea and chatting with his father. During this period, Lu Zheng had been in Beijing and reported to the Ministry about assisting the autonomous armed forces in northern Myanmar during this period. At the same time, a delegation from Myanmar came to Beijing and he assisted the Ministry in doing some coordination work.

"You can't go back in southern Yunnan." Lu Tianhe suddenly mentioned the incident in southern Yunnan.

Lu Zheng nodded slightly, yes, no matter what the final conclusion of the investigation team was, he would never be able to return to southern Yunnan to carry out his work normally. After all, he would be afraid that he would offend a lot of people. Of course, more Yubu people would applaud him.

"Do you regret it?" Lu Tianhe looked at his son with a smile.

Although the official storm in southern Yunnan started from Lu Zheng, it has become a factional struggle and a political speculation for some people. To a certain extent, Lu Zheng has become someone else's pawn.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Don't regret it." No matter what, his goal has been achieved.

"Guoping talked with me. For the sake of the current plan, do you have a few choices, whether you go abroad or do some research in ministries and commissions. In short, let's wait for these things to digest slowly." Lu Tianhe said, smiling at Iris, who was holding a teacup next to him.

Lu Zheng nodded, and it was true that he would go wherever he went. If this was the case, he would be very negative about his image in politics.

Following her father's gaze, Lu Zheng also looked at Bai Weibao and couldn't help laughing. Bai Weibao sitting next to her was a little lady, completely different from when she was with her. She seemed to have become a different person, very quiet and gentle. It seems that she has always used this image in front of her parents. It's not surprising that even her father, who was originally in love, seemed to have gradually accepted her, and she felt that having such a daughter-in-law seemed to be good.

This child is so illusory. Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly.

"It's getting late. You'll take Iris back to the hotel later, don't bully her." In my mother's eyes, this daughter-in-law must be very intoxicated. Moreover, I don't know what Bai Shibao said to my mother, which made her feel like she always bully her.

Seeing Qiqi sitting in a white gauze bag that looked like a little princess Wenjing, Lu Zheng was simply a little crazy, scratching his head, speechless.

At this time, the phone rang, and Lu Zheng picked up the phone. The sound inside seemed to be a little hesitant, "Is it the home of Commissioner Lu?"

"Rongzhou? It's me, Lu Zheng." Lu Zheng smiled happily. It was Wang Rongzhou, director of the Lanjiang Administrative Office. It was him. He reminded himself that Xie Hongwen's fall into the water was not that simple. A while ago, he called Lu Xiaohu and called him.

When Wang Rongzhou heard that it was Lu Zheng, his tone was a little happy, "Ah, it's Commissioner Lu. When will you go back to Lanjiang? Many comrades ask me to bring me a message and look forward to you coming back, but I heard that you don't go back to Lanjiang. You, you won't have any trouble?" At the end, Wang Rongzhou seemed to be a little worried again.

In fact, this kind of report that is clearly aware of the whistleblower is that the whistleblower is investigated, and the whistleblower is usually not a winner.

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Wang Rongzhou was relieved. After a while, he said, "I called because I wanted to tell you that Qin Xiaolong was arrested yesterday."

Lu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if you're caught, it's good if you're caught." His mood suddenly felt extremely relaxed.

Later, Lu Zheng didn't hear what Wang Rongzhou said clearly. He seemed to thank him repeatedly, and even said that he hoped that he could go back to Lanjiang before leaving. Many Yumen hoped to see him off. Secretary Zheng Weiguo of Nanpo County Party Committee repeatedly asked how to find him.
