A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

Seeing this, Guan Hongyu didn't hesitate and quickly helped Gao Yuliang up.

"Comrade Yuliang, go back and declutter. In your current state, it's difficult for the organization to promote you further. How can someone who can't even resolve their own family issues solve any organizational problems?"

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Gao Yuliang knew very well that Qi Tongwei was not joking with him.

Now, I must go home and make an important decision.

"Yes, Governor Qi. I understand!"

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sha Ruijin's Trust

Watching Gao Yuliang stagger out of his office, Qi Tongwei suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Who would have thought that Gao Yuliang, who betrayed Wu Huifen in the original drama because of Gao Xiaofeng, would be betrayed by Wu Huifen this time?

However, Wu Huifen no longer needs to worry about Gao Xiaofeng's problem.

Wu Huifen didn't need to thank herself too much, because Gao Xiaofeng had already been added to her harem.

Now that Gao Xiaofeng is completely devoted to him, he has no time to care about Gao Yuliang anymore.

Just then, there was another knock on Qi Tongwei's door.

"Please come in!"

As soon as Qi Tongwei finished speaking, Guan Hongyu opened the door and walked in.

"Governor, the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Sha Ruijin, would like to report to you on his work."

Sha Ruijin? Qi Tongwei suddenly remembered that at the dinner table that time, Sha Ruijin had made him finish three bottles of wine in a row.

Thinking of this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I understand. Please let Comrade Ruijin in."

After obtaining Qi Tongwei's permission, Guan Hongyu quickly notified Sha Ruijin to come to Qi Tongwei's office.

"Governor Qi, I apologize for disturbing you today, and I hope you will not take offense."

Qi Tongwei glanced at Sha Ruijin but made no comment.

He looked at the document and said 26.

"Little Jinzi, what day is it today? Comrade Gao Yuliang, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Jinghai City, just came to my place saying he wanted to report on his work. What, now you, the Director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Handong Province, also want to report on your work?"

Hearing Qi Tongwei call him "Little Gold," Sha Ruijin still had a smile on his face.

“Governor Qi, I just saw Comrade Gao Yuliang outside. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, he looked very unwell. I greeted him, but he ignored me.”

"Perhaps Comrade Yuliang has something on his mind? I didn't hear you greet him. Okay, tell me about yourself."

Qi Tongwei still didn't look up, still looking at the documents in his hand.

At the same time, Qi Tongwei never mentioned asking Sha Ruijin to sit down throughout the entire process.

Sha Ruijin had no choice but to stand there and keep a smile on his face.

"Governor Qi, the reason I came here today is actually to report some information to you."

As he spoke, Sha Ruijin took out a stack of envelopes from his briefcase.

"Director Qi, please take a look at this..."

Qi Tongwei immediately understood what Sha Ruijin meant when he saw Sha Ruijin's action.

Qi Tongwei smiled.

"You're suing me?"

“Governor Qi, we have thoroughly verified that these are all false accusations. Therefore, I figured there was no point in leaving these letters with the Anti-Corruption Bureau, so I brought them all to you.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei looked up at the top of Sha Ruijin's head.

Sure enough, there was an entry for "Want to join the Qi Family Gang (Gold)".

"According to the Anti-Corruption Bureau's normal procedures, verified letters that are found to be false accusations are destroyed directly. You've brought these letters directly to me now, so it seems that it wasn't the Anti-Corruption Bureau that verified them, but you, Little Jin, who verified them yourself?"

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei smiled as if he were joking with Sha Ruijin.

Upon seeing this, Sha Ruijin quickly said...

“Governor Qi, I have verified these letters myself. There is no need for some uninformed comrades to see them. Although the contents of the letters are fabricated, I am most afraid that these letters will affect your reputation.”

"Little Gold, it seems you've put in quite a bit of effort."

As he spoke, Qi Tongwei extended his hand, and Sha Ruijin quickly handed over the letters.

In the morning, Sha Ruijin was in his office, struggling with whether or not to go see Qi Tongwei.

Submitting the appeal letter to an individual is absolutely a violation of regulations.

However, this was Sha Ruijin's only chance to express his stance to Qi Tongwei and surrender.

Sha Ruijin has now figured out that Qi Tongwei's backer is not Zhao Lichun at all, but Zhong Nanshan.

Despite growing up on the charity of many families, Sha Ruijin's rise to the position of Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee in the original drama was by no means accidental.

In fact, among the many old songs that raised Sha Ruijin, Chen Yanshi was neither the closest nor the most intimate with Sha Ruijin.

The person closest to Sha Ruijin is now a military commander.

Moreover, this leader had no children of his own, and treated Sha Ruijin as his own son.

When Sha Ruijin encountered Qi Tongwei's刁难 (diāonán, making things difficult) last time, he felt that the matter of Tazhai could take his life at any moment.

So he went to find the leader who had raised him, the leader who had attended Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai's wedding.

He knew Qi Tongwei's background, so he informed Sha Ruijin.

Qi Tongwei is someone you can rely on, but you must not offend.

So, after much deliberation, Sha Ruijin made the decision he made today.

After receiving the letters, Qi Tongwei discovered that they contained all sorts of accusations against him, some true and some false.

The most important thing is what happened during my time at the procuratorate.

For example, when he was the deputy director of the first department and the director of the second department of the procuratorate, he had an improper relationship with Lü Lingling.

After reading these letters, Qi Tongwei deliberately looked at the envelopes again.

He discovered that the person who reported him was either Hou Liangping or Liang Lu.

Needless to say, the materials in these letters were all provided by Chen Yanshi.

Qi Tongwei counted them; there were more than 60 letters in total.

In other words, over the years, Hou Liangping and Liang Lu have each written a letter to the Anti-Corruption Bureau every month on average, accusing themselves of corruption.

"Little Jinzi, do you know who I thought of when I saw these letters?"

"Governor Qi, who are you thinking of?"

"I thought of Liang Qunfeng, the former secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Chen Yanshi, the former deputy director of the Provincial Procuratorate. I wonder how they are doing inside."

Upon hearing Qi Tongwei's words, Sha Ruijin instantly understood that Qi Tongwei was implying something.

As Vice Governor Qi Tongwei was in charge of the Provincial Public Security Department, just as Gao Yuliang said, Qi Tongwei, as the Vice Governor in charge of the legal affairs of a 290-province province, also oversaw many other departments, such as the Provincial Department of Justice.

Under the Department of Justice is a Prison Administration Bureau, which is now very important to Chen Yanshi and Liang Qunfeng.

"Governor Qi, is there anything I can do for you?"

Qi Tongwei shook his head as he listened to Sha Ruijin's words.

"No need, I can handle this myself. I heard that Chen Yanshi and Liang Qunfeng are behaving very poorly in prison. I'll inform the prison administration later and have them stay in there for a few more years."

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment at this point.

"Thank you very much for this matter. If you really want to help, Xiao Jinzi, I remember that false accusations against officials can be investigated in reverse. Try to find a way to get Hou Liangping and Liang Lu to work under me at the Prison Administration Bureau for two years."

Sha Ruijin seemed somewhat hesitant after hearing Qi Tongwei's words.

“Governor Qi, it is usually difficult to send someone to jail for false accusations unless the circumstances are particularly serious.”

Qi Tongwei pointed to the letters in his hand.

"Little Jinzi, there are already more than 60 letters here. Isn't this serious enough?"

Sha Ruijin gasped.

"Understood, Governor Qi, please wait for my good news!"

Just then, the system's voice came into Qi Tongwei's mind.

[Ding! Host, would you like to recruit Sha Ruijin to the Qi Family Gang?]

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Immediate Arrest of Hou Liangping and Liang Lu

Upon hearing the system's question, Qi Tongwei recalled that in the original drama, there were three factions with vastly different political stances in Handong Province.

One is the Han University gang led by Gao Yuliang, another is the secretary gang led by Li Dakang, and the third is the Sha family gang led by Sha Ruijin.

Now, Gao Yuliang, a representative figure of the Han University gang, has just come to him to surrender.

Although he didn't agree, he noticed that the golden tag above Gao Yuliang's head didn't change in the end.

This proves that Gao Yuliang still has the determination to surrender.

Now, Sha Ruijin is constantly trying to curry favor with him here.

When I was unsure of my stance, a system notification sound appeared asking me a question.

Of the three factions, only Li Dakang has not yet formally aligned himself with him.

However, he is currently just a division-level secretary working for Zhao Lichun.

What right do they have to form a secretarial clique to challenge themselves?

It seems that these three factions from the original series are going to die in the womb, shortly before they even appear.

Qi Tongwei thought about what would happen if he accepted Sha Ruijin's offer.

The powerful figure who once publicly criticized him at the provincial standing committee meeting will soon become a sycophant who is extremely respectful to him.

In fact, Qi Tongwei was also very curious to see what Sha Ruijin would become with the system's support.

"System, recruit Sha Ruijin!"
