Chapter 777 Arrangement of Investigation 1

The report on the senior generals of the border defense forces was of course sent to higher-level departments in the capital, and eventually delivered to the old leader.

Xibao has only been away from the capital for a few months, but her chubby and fair appearance is still vivid in my mind.

The first people to be targeted in the report letter are Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue. They are Xi Bao's parents, and everyone knows them. How could they not act with caution?

Because several meetings were held in the capital after New Year's Day and the work was not yet completed, neither of them left the capital.

Lu Jiang and Zhao Yong were brought up by Ye Zhengjun. He did not say a word after reading the contents of the report, mainly because those who were reported were not only Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue, but also senior generals such as Qi Gang and Chen Ju and their families.

Commander Chen slapped his thigh and shouted, "Old leader, there are many untrue things in the letter. We must investigate them thoroughly and clear the names of these comrades in the letter!"

"Are you so sure that someone has framed them?" the old leader asked curiously.

Commander Chen looked serious, "I can't confirm the others for the time being. I have to go back and investigate before I can give you an answer, but I can guarantee the innocence of Xiao Lu and Feng Qingxue. As for their higher living standards, we don't deny that they both get paid. Xiao Lu has been in the army for fifteen or sixteen years and gets an allowance every month, which adds up to about two hundred yuan. The family of three has no other burdens and is well-off. Xiao Lu's hometown sends some food to the army from time to time for his grandson to cook, which greatly reduces the burden on the army. Old commander, several commanders, I'm not kidding. Since their family sent the food, when Comrade Qingxue is at home, Xiao Lu only gets half of the usual amount of food in the cafeteria. Isn't the saved half cheaper for other soldiers?"

Ye Zhengjun interrupted at the right time and said, "All the soldiers, including the soldiers in charge of serving meals, can testify."

The old leader nodded slightly. "High salary, good benefits, and a higher standard of living are not a big deal. I have to eat braised pork once or twice a week. As long as you have a high level of ideological awareness and are not corrupt, you are a good comrade."

"Don't worry about this. I can guarantee that Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue are absolutely loyal and good comrades." Commander Chen patted his chest. "Our troops are so strictly managed. How could we allow people with backward ideas to take advantage of loopholes? At the end of every year, I would go through it from top to bottom with a few political commissars."

"The report letter said that they were corrupt and accepted bribes. How do you explain this?" Su Junshu asked.

Ye Zhengjun said sternly, "Corruption? Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue are not in charge of logistics, and are not responsible for distributing wages, rations, clothing and equipment. What are they corrupting? If we talk about corruption, the most likely ones are the logistics department, not the two of them. There are comrades in the army who like to buy snacks for Xi Bao to amuse him. They are usually single soldiers with no burdens, and they do it voluntarily. The little guy is the first child to come to our army. He is chubby and very rare. When seeing him, some people, like Comrade Commander Chen and I, think of not accompanying the children in their childhood, and inevitably transfer their feelings to Xi Bao. The report in the letter that Comrade Lu Jiang and Comrade Feng Qingxue are corrupt and accepting bribes is absolutely impossible. They don't need to do such things to affect their future."
