Chapter 343: Chapter 343: No Way to Deal with Ji Yang

South Dian Province suddenly became a hotspot, with netizens from across the country paying attention to the events unfolding there.

Capital City had also taken notice of the situation, and promptly, a working group arrived in South Dian Province.

Ji Yang was unaware of the situation above, while the officials below were trembling in fear.

For all the officials in South Dian Province, they saw some of the problems emerging. If this continued, the entire province was heading for a reshuffle.

It was all because of Chunshui County!

Many were extremely dissatisfied with the events that had transpired in Chunshui County, but even with their dissatisfaction, they were at a loss for what to do.

As for Ji Yang, initially, everyone was displeased with him, as his arrival had triggered so many incidents.

However, after a serious analysis, everyone was speechless. In this affair, Ji Yang had appeared entirely as a victim. He hadn’t done anything wrong; he had just been set up upon his arrival in Chunshui County. Even if he had fought back, that was only to be expected. Who wouldn’t have done the same in his place?

Ji Yang’s shadow loomed over these events, but that was all it was—a shadow. Speaking seriously, it seemed that Ji Yang hadn’t really done much.

Some wanted to take Ji Yang down—it was he who had triggered this, after all. But how could they deal with him?

If there were issues with Chunshui County’s team, Ji Yang had just assumed his post; the problems couldn’t be traced back to him, could they?

To claim that Ji Yang had caused this mess, where was the evidence? There was none whatsoever.

Then there was the matter of finding something to hold over Ji Yang. Now that he had just arrived, and his secretary had been replaced by a man, the previous plans to implicate him using a female secretary were no longer viable.

There was also his housekeeper issue, where there were attempts to accuse him of improper conduct with a female housekeeper. Now, he had dispensed with a housekeeper altogether, putting an end to that avenue as well.

The people of Chunshui County were somewhat at a loss. They had truly not anticipated the situation developing in this direction.

Now, in Chunshui County, both Bao Geishan and Gao Chonglin had run into trouble, and today Gao Chonglin had been placed under ’double regulation’ by the provincial disciplinary committee for corruption.

Indeed, there were two major factions in Chunshui County, but these factions needed leaders, and these two were the leaders. As for the former leaders, they had either stepped down or been promoted, and even if they wanted to intervene, it still had to go through these two individuals.

Of course, they had their own people in the shadows, but those were only operatives who moved in darkness; they couldn’t be used to control the county.

Some had considered getting rid of Ji Yang, but after giving it some thought, they dropped the idea.

The matter had already been brought to light online, and Capital City was aware of the events here. With some families already taking action, even if Ji Yang were to be eliminated, it wouldn’t salvage the situation.

At this point, Ji Yang’s influence was nil; killing him or not, it no longer held any significance.

This Ji Yang!

Having come to their senses, everyone still resented Ji Yang, but they found no effective way to deal with him, especially since the situation was no longer under the control of Ji Yang or any of them.

Ji Yang had really muddled the entire affair!

Only belatedly did everyone realize how difficult the situation had become.

Following the trouble with the two figures, all eyes then turned to Liu Chenjiang, the secretary of the disciplinary committee, and Mo Chengguo, the secretary of the political and legal committee, representing the two opposing forces.

In Liu Chenjiang’s home, Chunshui County officials sat in silence, the atmosphere heavy and gloomy.

Liu Chenjiang himself was smoking his water pipe in contemplation.

The only sound in the room was the gurgle of the water pipe.

"Secretary Liu, what do we do now?"

Everyone was truly panicked. They had never encountered such a situation before; normally, an incoming officer would fall prey to their various traps and be unable to escape.

Somehow, with Ji Yang’s arrival, one thing after another had happened, leaving them floundering.

Liu Chenjiang stopped smoking and looked up at the others, "You all give your opinions."

Liu Chenjiang was also bewildered by the turn of events; he hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point.

This...

Everyone fell silent again, unable to understand how the situation had reached this state.

It was the same in Mo Chengguo’s home, where there now sat many people, mostly from the political and legal system. There was a more murderous air than in Liu Chenjiang’s household.

Someone spoke in a grave voice, "It’s all because of that newcomer Ji Yang, isn’t it?"

Although the statement was not explicitly clear, everyone understood the implication, and their expressions darkened.

Mo Chengguo snorted, "Nonsense!"

A person next to him spoke to the one who had made the suggestion, "The situation has spiraled to this extent, with Capital City now paying attention to the matter here, and even the provincial authorities are unable to cover it up. Besides, Ji Yang has now become irrelevant. Even if we did something to him, would it affect the overall situation?"

This statement caused yet another shift in everyone’s expressions. They were all old hands at navigating the bureaucracy and naturally understood the likely direction things would take. The higher-ups had already considered intervening in Chunshui County’s affairs, and previously, their protectors had helped to mitigate the situation. Now? Those protectors were likely struggling to save themselves, as seen by the videos of them circulating on the internet.

Difficult!

At this moment, Mo Chengguo too realized the trouble at hand. If the situation couldn’t be resolved properly, a major crisis could erupt. However, they were truly at a loss as to how to tackle the issue.

Previously, they had considered themselves influential figures within the county, but it was only now that they realized this was not the case at all; they were nothing before the much greater forces at play.
