You have to understand that this matter is completely different in a town than in a county. If the disciplinary committee talks to you, which person within the system wouldn't panic?
Wang Zhixing panicked immediately. Even though he knew there was no evidence from above, he was still flustered and afraid.
Wang Zhixing went to find Hou Peng immediately. Hou Peng was much calmer than Wang Zhixing, after all, the investigation was not on him, but on Wang Zhixing, and even if something happened, it would be Wang Zhixing.
Of course, he definitely didn't want Wang Zhixing to get into trouble, not because he had a good relationship with Wang Zhixing, but because he didn't want Li Xiuyuan to achieve his personal goals.
So Hou Peng called Zhang Xingguo and took Wang Zhixing upstairs to find Zhang Xingguo before leaving get off work. As the town mayor, he couldn't say much in the face of the disciplinary committee's investigation team, but Zhang Xingguo, as the secretary, certainly had a say. After all, Zhang Xingguo was the top leader, and the county often had to take Zhang Xingguo's attitude into account when making decisions.
Of course, this applies to less important matters. If Wang Zhixing were really in trouble, Zhang Xingguo probably wouldn't even see him. But this clearly shows that Wang Zhixing's matter is nothing serious, just baseless speculation.
When the two arrived at Zhang Xingguo's office, Zhang Xingguo had already prepared tea and invited them to sit down.
Hou Peng thanked him and sat down, but Wang Zhixing didn't dare to sit down. The fact that the county discipline inspection commission's investigation team was coming tomorrow made him very nervous.
"Zhixing, tell me the truth. Was it you who instigated Wang Yongde of Meilin Village to incite other villagers to refuse to relocate?" Zhang Xingguo asked Wang Zhixing first. This was the procedure, and he had to ask.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhixing immediately shook his head: "Secretary, I'm innocent! I really didn't do it. How could I do such a thing? The Meilin Village project is a key project for the whole county. How could I have the guts? I even tried to persuade my cousin Wang Yongde to sign the demolition contract as soon as possible, but Wang Yongde wouldn't listen. We're only distant relatives, and I can't control him."
As for the accusations that I was behind the scenes instigating resistance to the demolition policy, that's just some people trying to smear me and pin a mudslinging charge on me..."
Whether or not this happened, Wang Zhixing will not admit it; he will definitely deny it to the bitter end.
If you admit it, it would be like giving yourself away.
Zhang Xingguo nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, there's no need to worry if there isn't. The Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating to find out the truth. Just tell the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission the facts when the time comes."
Zhang Xingguo was subtly telling Wang Zhixing that when facing the Discipline Inspection Commission, he should stick to his story and not admit anything, then everything would be fine.
But there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Xingguo said. Wang Zhixing could understand it, but even if he himself got into trouble, he couldn't say that Zhang Xingguo had told him to deny it to the death.
This is the art of language. Just like Wang Yonghua's report this time, Li Xiuyuan hinted at it, but even if Wang Yonghua said it, it would have nothing to do with Li Xiuyuan. Leaders speak in a way that leaves no trace of themselves; it's all about the art of language.
Moreover, Wang Zhixing also realized that Zhang Xingguo did not refute his final defense that someone was smearing him, which meant that Zhang Xingguo encouraged him to say that.
“Okay, thank you, Secretary. I really didn’t do anything. I can vouch for that with my integrity.” Wang Zhixing said immediately. But after hesitating for a moment, he added, “But Secretary, I’m afraid someone will try to smear me.”
