Chapter 247: Chapter 247 Ji Yang is an Honest Comrade

As each report came in, Li Weiping said, "So, are you saying that there’s no problem with Qingyuan Village based on the results of this investigation?"

"Indeed, there were no issues."

Li Weiping slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Who asked you to come to investigate from the city?" His gaze fixed on those who came from the city for the investigation.

At that, the faces of those individuals slightly changed, knowing it was now somewhat difficult to say anything.

"Deputy Secretary Li, we also just received a report and came to understand the situation," one person said with feigned confidence.

"Your investigation went directly to Qingyuan Village without following the proper procedures, didn’t it?"

With that question, those few people didn’t know what to say, as indeed, there had been no procedure. They had just come directly to investigate. In their view, if it was an official, the difficult bits to investigate were money and sex; investigate one, and you’re sure to find something. However, what they found was that Ji Yang had no problems with money at all. Not only did he not have any problems, but he was also someone who had donated all his wealth. Such a person was truly a paragon of integrity.

As for the issue of sexual misconduct, there were rumors that the Wu Family Sisters from the village were Ji Yang’s women, but their investigation showed that Ji Yang seemed to have no inappropriate relations with them. Furthermore, they wanted to look into the financial transactions between the Wu Family Sisters and Ji Yang to see if there was any involvement. In the end, they didn’t find any evidence.

Of course, under such circumstances, they still brazenly said, "Our understanding is that when Ji Yang was in Wushu Village, all the villagers were saying that the Wu Family Sisters were his women, and when Ji Yang was transferred to a new place, they even followed to make investments, so there should be some kind of relationship."

Li Weiping looked at the speaker and asked, "Did you get any evidence from them?"

"It’s just what everyone’s been saying. There’s no evidence."

Li Weiping looked at him again and said, "Can you just spread rumors without evidence? If everyone spread rumors about you having such issues, should we investigate? If after investigating there’s no issue, what do you think we should do?"

"This..." he didn’t know what to say.

Li Weiping then addressed the crowd, "We have investigated the situation in Qingyuan Village. Since Mr. Ji Yang has arrived, he has been working diligently. In land contracting and transfers, to prevent the loss of state assets, he specifically implemented a transfer decision. Through this decision, he saved a large amount of loss for the whole Qingyuan Village. Furthermore, since his arrival, the longstanding issues had gradually been resolved. And you lot, just because a privileged son of a leader wanted to take advantage of Qingyuan Village and failed, you obeyed his command and came here to wreak havoc. I want to ask, are you still following the Party’s orders? Do you still follow organizational principles?"

His words were harsh and directly pointed out the root of their misconduct, causing several of their faces to change drastically.

Li Weiping huffed and said, "The reason we have not done anything until now was that we wanted to see if you would find anything. Yet, this is the result you gave us. How splendid, it seems that you all have significant issues yourselves. We will report this situation to the provincial committee."

"Deputy Secretary Li, we..." they wanted to say something but were too afraid to speak.

Li Weiping stated firmly, "Let me tell you something. The provincial inspection team conducted some investigations in the city and found some leaders with issues. Don’t even think about who can save you. Think about it on your own, how you will explain yourselves, and do it quickly."

Ah!

Their faces changed again; they realized that the Vice Mayor Lu who had sent them was probably in trouble.

Li Weiping addressed everyone, "Your reckless actions have caused difficulties for the work of Qingyuan Village and also affected the reputation of some comrades. The provincial committee leadership has instructed that the results be made public, we can’t let our good comrades be wronged."

It was over!

Being familiar with the bureaucratic realm, they all knew they had hit a snag this time. Ji Yang was not just backed by the Chu Family; there was a much bigger power behind him.

These people also resented Vice Mayor Lu for making them come here to do this. If it weren’t for his orders, they wouldn’t be in such a predicament now.

"Leader, it was Vice Mayor Lu Yong from the city who ordered us to do this."

"Yes, we were just following orders."

"Hmph, following orders to do something like this," you look at your actions, where is the regulation in them? There’s not a single proper action in all your methods. The pity is, no matter how you investigated, there simply were no issues with him. Instead, you helped us find an upright and incorruptible official."

With that, Li Weiping said, "Immediately publicize the results of the investigation, so everyone can see the outcome."

Everyone immediately agreed.
