pinnacle of power

After Wang Honghao and Hou Yuqiang watched the three videos of the press conference, their expressions were ugly at that time.

After the two finished watching, they looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a long time.

Hou Yuqiang sighed and said, "Secretary Wang, I really didn't expect that Liu Qingyu and his anti-corruption bureau would be so capable that they could get Feng Zhengtai and Su Shasha to speak up. It seems that we still underestimated Liu Qingyu."

Wang Honghao nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, it seems that Liu Qingyu is indeed very capable, but I don't know what Su Shasha and Feng Zhengtai have explained. Judging from the video, these video files are obviously just one of them. It’s just a paragraph. What I’m most worried about now is whether the other issues explained by these two people will cause an earthquake in our Tiandu City. If that kind of thing really happens, I’m afraid the position of the two of us will be difficult to stabilize. After all All of a sudden, five top leaders of the municipal bureaus were arrested for corruption. We can’t explain this to the provincial party committee. If other people are involved in the case, I’m afraid even I will be held accountable.”

Speaking of this, Wang Honghao's face was full of worry.

Hou Yuqiang also smiled bitterly. He knew that if even Wang Honghao was to be held accountable, how could he, the top leader of the municipal government, be spared?At this time, it was Hou Yuqiang who should really be worried.Because Sun Qingcheng and Huang Kunpeng fell off the horse and committed suicide one after another, he has been pushed to the cusp. This time, five top leaders of the city bureau were arrested. When the matter developed to this extent, Hou Yuqiang had already clearly felt that Liu Qingyu was afraid that Liu Qingyu would not be able to do so from the beginning to the end. The target of the anti-corruption sword is oneself.

Whether it was the previous Huang Kunpeng or Sun Qingcheng, they were all just appetizers prepared by Liu Qingyu. They were all Liu Qingyu's means of laying the groundwork to point the sword of anti-corruption at himself.

insidious!Liu Qingyu's move was too insidious.This time he played the trick of boiling frogs in warm water.

Before, he had been confining his attention to the parts of each incident, and even put pressure on Liu Qingyu often. Now, he finally understood why Liu Qingyu had been cold-faced from the beginning to the end.

Thinking of these, how could Hou Yuqiang sleep well?

"Secretary Wang, do you have any good solutions? Liu Qingyu can't continue to toss about this matter, otherwise, I'm afraid I will be the next unlucky person." Hou Yuqiang had a bitter face when he spoke.

Wang Honghao shook his head with a wry smile: "This time, I really have nothing to do. This guy Liu Qingyu is a melon egg, and he doesn't take hard things. In addition, he is a poor commander in Tiandu Province, a widow. , We can't hold any handle on him, and it is even more difficult to deal with him."

Speaking of this, Wang Honghao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Yu Qiang, the matter has developed to this point, we only have the last move to go."

Hou Yuqiang couldn't help laughing miserably, his face was a little pale, he understood the true meaning of Wang Honghao's words.The last move is very likely to be a good move, and it is definitely a dangerous move.Because once this last move is made, he will have no room for maneuver.

Hou Yuqiang fell silent.

After a long time, he sighed and said: "It seems that now, I can only take this last move. I will personally visit the master and ask the master to give advice."

Wang Honghao didn't speak, but the look on his face was very firm.Because he really has nothing to do.For Wang Honghao, Hou Yuqiang was his last shield and the last pawn he could maneuver. Deep down in his heart, he did not want Hou Yuqiang to meet the master in person.

Because he knew that if Hou Yuqiang went out in person and succeeded, both he and Hou Yuqiang would be safe and sound. However, once the master's plan failed, Hou Yuqiang would surely fall, and once Hou Yuqiang fell, there would be no one in front of him anymore. As a shield, he will be directly exposed to Liu Qingyu's vision.

Although limited by his level, it is impossible for Liu Qingyu to attack him directly, but with Liu Qingyu's personality, he may not invite people from the National Anti-Corruption Bureau to investigate him. If he really develops to that point, I'm afraid I am also in danger.

But now, he is at a loss, asking the master for advice is the last move and the only move he can take.

After a long time, Wang Honghao sighed and said: "Go, I hope the master can continue to bless us safe and sound this time."

Hou Yuqiang could only deceive himself and say: "Yes, the master has never miscalculated. After so many years, the master basically has no plans."

Wang Honghao smiled wryly, but did not speak.

In the past, the master was indeed exhaustive, but after Liu Qingyu arrived, the situation changed a lot.Huang Kunpeng and Sun Qingcheng committed suicide successively.

The master's identity was naturally not exposed, and he and Hou Yuqiang did not have any problems. Naturally, all the master's plans were not considered failures, but they were not successful either. However, Sun Qingcheng and Huang Kunpeng died.Because they have all been relatively close to the master, and have personally contacted the master.

Now, Hou Yuqiang is about to personally contact the master, will the master push Hou Yuqiang into the abyss in order to maintain his position that he has no plans to spare?Wang Honghao has no idea, and Hou Yuqiang himself has no idea, but now, he has no way out.

"Master, do you have time now? I have something I want to ask you for advice." After a long while, Hou Yuqiang called the master in front of Wang Honghao.

The master's voice came from the phone: "Second brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you finally think of me now?"

"Master...I..." Hou Yuqiang was very clear. With the wisdom of the master, he naturally understood the fundamental reason why he had not been in contact with him.

Because Hou Yuqiang is an official and the mayor of Tiandu City, and what about the master?His status is so special, he doesn't want any connection between his status as an official and the master, causing others to think about it, because once this kind of relationship is exposed, it will definitely affect his career.

"Okay, there's no need to explain. I understand your thoughts. Since you have something to talk about, come here by yourself. I'll wait for you."

After speaking, the master hung up the phone.

Hou Yuqiang smiled wryly, and looked at Wang Honghao: "Secretary Wang, then I'm going to find the master."

Wang Honghao nodded lightly, with unwillingness and helplessness written all over his face.

Seeing Hou Yuqiang's leaving back, Wang Honghao sighed and said, "It's hard to be a clean official, but it's even harder to be a corrupt official!"

At the same time, in Liu Qingyu's office of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Liu Qingyu and several people from the Second Investigation Division finally relaxed after studying the case. They chatted while drinking tea.

Liu Qingyu asked suddenly: "Do you think it is difficult to be a corrupt official or to be a good one?"

Mu Xiaosi suddenly asked back: "Liu Jian, why do you say you want to be a good official instead of an honest one?"

Liu Qingyu smiled and said: "Integrity officials are not necessarily good officials. What the common people need are good officials, but they are not necessarily upright officials. For the common people, good officials are those who can truly consider their interests. It is his own business to be unclear, but whether he can do things for the common people is related to the real interests of thousands of common people. If the official is only clean and honest, but does not do things for the common people, and only cares about his own name, what is the use? "

Mu Xiaosi and everyone else were taken aback when they heard this.This is the first time they heard Liu Qingyu talk about his values ​​of being an official.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, Liu Qingyu showed a faint smile on his face.This is Liu Qingyu explaining his views on employment to everyone.The people Liu Qingyu wants to use must first be officials with correct morals and values, officials who are willing and daring to do things for the people, and then officials who are capable of doing things for the people.

"I think it's hard to be a good official," Lu Pengyu said.

Others also joined in.

At this time, Mu Xiaosi suddenly said: "I don't think it's easy to do it, whether it's a corrupt official or a good one."

Everyone looked at Mu Xiaosi, Mu Xiaosi smiled and said, "I once read an article written by a corrupt official, and he has the deepest understanding of the difficulties of being a corrupt official."

Everyone was very interested immediately, Liu Qingyu also looked at Mu Xiaosi with great interest, this Mu Xiaosi is a wonderful person, his thinking is unconstrained and unconstrained, his learning is very complicated, he can always see other people from different angles something that can't be seen.

Mu Xiaosi said: "That corrupt official once said: We corrupt officials are not born officials, but also the result of our struggle. In order to get promoted, gain connections, and send money, we first transfer to the leader; in order to get promoted, we bow and bow to the leader, Low-key, desperately flattering, leaders serve tea first at work, leaders light the fire first when smoking, leaders open the door first when getting in the car, leaders light the cannons first when playing mahjong, leaders pick beautiful girls first, sometimes even their own wives and daughters. The leader sent him away, humiliating, like a grandson, it was hard to gain the trust of the leader and get promoted. In order to get promoted, make friends with the leader, get close, and recognize the leader as godfather, is it easy for us to get promoted?"

After Mu Xiaosi finished speaking, everyone nodded, "Well, it's really not easy."

Even Liu Qingyu nodded frequently when he heard the words. It is indeed not easy to be a corrupt official to such a degree. It takes so much effort.

At this time, Mu Xiaosi went on to say: "Don't think that being a corrupt official is the end of it. It is far from over. The corrupt official also said: It is difficult to be an official after being promoted, and it is even more difficult not to be a corrupt official. Follow the corrupt Prosperity, anti-corruption perishes, in the face of the tide of corruption, whoever does not keep up with the situation in thinking and actions will be in danger of being laid off. Others make collective income, you do not know the time to be an honest official? Good! No corruption? Good! Four Eight festivals, weddings and funerals, everyone pays tribute, you didn't show it? It's obvious to slap your superiors and colleagues in the face, small shoes, tear down the stage, just wait!

How can we coordinate the relationship between brother units without corruption?How to do it?Don’t be corrupt, cut off the wealth of your brothers, no one will work hard for you: the police can’t solve the case; the tax can’t collect money; Soldiers, the work cannot be carried out, you are waiting to die in an ugly way!The common people have no rights, they live with patience, the public servants have no rights, life is better than death!In today's world of laughing at greed and not laughing at prostitution, starving to death and losing moral integrity, do you have a choice if you want to be an official? "

When Mu Xiaosi said this, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed for a while.

They are all cadres of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so it is clear that the problem Mu Xiaosi mentioned is indeed very real in some parts.

Just as Liu Qingyu and the others were discussing whether it is difficult to be a corrupt official or a good one, Hou Yuqiang walked into the master's room.
