Chapter 779: Chapter 0779: Arrange Investigation 1_1

Announcing accusations about senior border defense officers, they naturally went to the higher-level departments in the capital and eventually reached the old leader.

Xibao had only left the capital for a few months, but his chubby image was still fresh in everyone’s memory.

Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were the first to be blasted in the accusation letter. They were Xibao’s parents. Everyone knew. How could they not tread carefully?

Because after the New Year, the capital held several meetings. The work had not yet been finished, so neither of them had left the capital.

Lu Jiang and Zhao Yong were brought up by Ye Zhengjun. He remained silent after reading the content of the accusation letter, mainly because not only Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue were accused, but also senior officers and their family members such as Qi Gang and Chen Ju.

Commander Chen slapped his thigh loudly and said, "Old leader, there are many baseless accusations in this letter. We must investigate thoroughly to clear the authorities’ names in this letter!"

"Are you so sure that someone is framing them?" the old leader curiously said.

Commander Chen’s expression was serious, "For others, I can’t confirm at the moment. I have to go back and investigate before I can give you an answer. But I can attest to the innocence of Xiaolu and Feng Qingxue. Sure, they live a somewhat higher standard of living, we admit it. They both have salaries, Xiaolu has been in the army for fifteen or sixteen years, receives monthly allowances, adding up to two hundred yuan or so. With no other burdens on the family, they are financially stable. Xiaolu’s family often sends some food to the army for their grandson, greatly reducing the burden on the army. Old leader, other leaders, I’m not joking. Since they sent food, when Qingxue is at home, Xiaolu only takes half of his usual share at the canteen. Doesn’t the spare half benefit other soldiers?"

Ye Zhengjun timely added: "All soldiers including those in charge of distributing food in the cooking team can testify."

The old leader nodded slightly, "It’s not a big deal to have a higher salary and better treatment, and enjoy a higher standard of living. I have to eat braised pork once or twice a week. Fear not, as long as they have high ideological consciousness, do not embezzle or corrupt, they are good comrades."

"You can rest assured on this point, I can guarantee that Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue are absolutely loyal and are good comrades." Commander Chen patted his own heart, "We manage our forces so strictly, how can there be loopholes for people with backward thinking? At the end of each year, don’t I comb through everything from top to bottom with a few political commissars?"

"The accusation letter says they are embezzling and accepting bribes, how do you explain this?" Su Junshu asked.

Ye Zhengjun solemnly said: "Corruption? Neither Comrade Lu Jiang nor Comrade Feng Qingxue is in charge of logistics. They are not responsible for the distribution of salaries, food, clothing, and equipment. What could they possibly be embezzling? The most likely to be corrupt would be the logistics department, certainly not these two. In the team, there are comrades who love to buy some snacks for Xibao, generally they are single soldiers with no burdens, they volunteer to do so. The little guy is the first child to come to our forces, chubby and extremely adored. Upon seeing him, some inevitably transferred their feelings, just like Comrade Commander Chen and I, who lamented the lack of companionship during their children’s childhood. The claims that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue are accepting bribes and embezzling in the accusation letter are absolutely false, they simply don’t need to do such things and harm their own futures."
