Just as Lin Yu was burning with anger, Wang Xiaoqin called.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, something's happened to my dad. His office has been sealed off by the disciplinary department. I tried to contact him just now, but I couldn't get through. Something must have happened to him! Do you have any connections that can help?" Wang Xiaoqin said, her voice choked with tears.
He knew that Lin Yu was no ordinary person. Besides knowing Zhao Guangcai, he also knew the richest man and some people in the military. He had no other choice but to seek help from Lin Yu.
Lin Yu never expected that the usually strong policewoman would have such a vulnerable moment.
He quickly reassured them, "Don't be afraid, leave this to me, I guarantee they'll be alright!"
Lin Yu's words were like a reassuring pill, calming Wang Xiaoqin down, because she knew that Lin Yu never boasted.
Lin Yu would never boast. He was the young marshal of Fengfu and the inspector of eight prefectures. Dealing with corrupt officials was a piece of cake for him.
"Feng Jiu, send someone to investigate and see what the situation is like inside the government!"
Lin Yu did not plan to go to the government office immediately.
Having spent so many days in Harbin, he had long sensed that the internal problems here were already quite serious.
This must be resolved properly before leaving.
To truly resolve this, the waters must be stirred up. He wanted to see just how many demons and monsters were behind this!
at the same time.
A fleet of Coaster buses is slowly driving off the highway.
Several cars were traveling in alternating lines, clearly belonging to important figures from higher up!
Indeed, the person sitting in the lead car was no ordinary person; it was none other than Xu Liang, the second young master of the prestigious Xu family and the leader of this inspection team.
Xu Liang's name is very low-key in Yandu. But in fact, he ranks above the eldest son in the Xu family.
Although he is the second young master, he has long been designated by the Xu family as the heir to the family head!
This kid was a good student from a young age. He was admitted to Renmin University at the age of nineteen, entered politics at the age of twenty-one, and became the youngest bureau-level cadre in the region within five years of entering officialdom.
After gaining experience as the top local official for two more years, he was transferred back to the central government and became the deputy head of the Third Division of the Inspection Department!
At this rate, in just a few years, he will become a powerful official in a central department and thus step into the center of power!
Therefore, those who know the inside story of the Xu family know how promising the second young master, Xu Liang, is. Many daughters from aristocratic families are eager to marry into the second branch of the Xu family, but Xu Liang is not lustful and is only obsessed with power. So far, there has not been a single scandal.
Even the usually arrogant old patriarch of the Xu family was very satisfied with this great-grandson.
With the recent cabinet turmoil, the Xu family intends to take the opportunity to promote Xu Liang to a permanent position. This inspection tour to Harbin Prefecture is precisely to gain political achievements.
Therefore, Xu Liang was determined to find out something this time to pave the way for his promotion.
His inspection tour differed somewhat from Lin Yu's Eight-Prefecture Inspectorate. Although he also wielded considerable power, unlike Lin Yu, who directly represented the Grand Secretary and had the authority to act first and report later, his tour was targeted and conducted according to established procedures, unlike Lin Yu, who could arbitrarily inspect any place.
However, he had already learned before he came that the city of Ha had many problems, so he was full of confidence and determined to achieve results.
At this moment, the car arrived in the city. Secretary Ding Hao received a phone call and couldn't help but laugh as he said, "Second Young Master, Xu Dong just called. He knows you've arrived in Harbin and wants to see you!"
"Xu Dong? You mean that collateral branch of our Xu family?" Xu Liang asked, frowning.
The Xu family has too many members, and many of them serve as officials in various places, but he still remembers Xu Dong.
Ding Hao smiled and said, "That's right! He's the second-in-command of the local police system and a member of the leadership team. He might be able to help you with your patrol!"
Xu Liang nodded. "With my promotion imminent, I need to achieve something as soon as possible. With him around, things will be much easier. Have him come to the hotel to find me later!"
Ding Hao smiled and nodded, saying, "Second Young Master, don't worry, this promotion is a sure thing. Nowadays, the sons of aristocratic families are all useless. Zhang Hongxing from the Zhang family, Chen Yu from the Chen family, and Wu Dao from the Wu family—these纨绔子 (spoiled brats) were originally your competitors, but now you don't have to worry about them anymore. The future cabinet will definitely be your own territory!"
According to past practice, the cabinet will always include positions from the major aristocratic families.
However, that also depends on the fact that the major clans have successors.
Now, all the major clans have gone awry, and some are even on the road to decline. Only the Xu family still retains its strength and is still capable of vying for a seat in the cabinet.
"Comparing those good-for-nothings to me?" Xu Liang sneered disdainfully. He didn't take those spoiled brats seriously at all.
Zhang Hongxing is nothing but a drunkard and a good-for-nothing; otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into the hands of that Lin guy.
Then there's Wu Dao, all brawn and no brains. Even if you gave him military power, he wouldn't know how to use it. He had already taken control of the Floating Pagoda Army, but he still managed to lose it. He's utterly useless.
As for Chen Yu, needless to say, he values money too much and lacks a sense of the bigger picture. It's just an oil field, right? Because of an oil field, he fell into Lin Yu's trap and got humiliated in Harbin, acting like a complete idiot.
If it were him, and he wanted the oil field, he could use his power to force the other party to hand it over. For example, he could fabricate a charge, control public opinion, and force the other party to voluntarily surrender the oil field. In any case, it would be better than that useless Chen Yu.
"They can't even beat a country bumpkin, what a bunch of good-for-nothings!" Xu Liang sneered, completely disregarding the young masters.
In his eyes, these good-for-nothings were all useless, unlike him, who had always had a sense of purpose. Even back in school, he knew why he needed to work hard!
He always harbored ambitions and aspirations for power!
Only by constantly striving in this direction can one achieve great success in one's official career and make the most of one's family background!
He even has the ambition to one day challenge the top!
However... the mountain above his head put a lot of pressure on him.
As long as that person is still alive, the aristocratic families will always be suppressed.
This person is none other than Grand Secretary Pang Wensheng!
For decades, Pang Wensheng presided over the cabinet, always keeping the major aristocratic families firmly in his grasp!
Ding Hao knew what Xu Liang was thinking and couldn't help but laugh, "Second Young Master, there's no need to worry. Times have changed, and some rules should change too. Besides, I just received a rumor that he's ill, and it seems to be quite serious!"
"What?" Xu Liang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but show a moved expression.
He hurriedly pressed, "Is the information reliable?"
Ding Hao nodded, saying with great certainty, "Although this matter was kept very secret, my classmate in the confidential office still inadvertently revealed to me that the person's condition is very serious, and they might..."
"Very good!"
Xu Liang couldn't help but clap his hands, appearing very excited.
"This mountain has been weighing down on our clan for twenty years. It's time to move it! Once he's dead, no one will be able to suppress our clan anymore. Some rules can be changed!"
Xu Liang sneered, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.
That's a thirst for power!
