Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Li Dongfang thought painfully: If he really spoke out on behalf of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Qigong's political future would be over, and his conscience would also be blamed. Zhao Qigong's face was extremely ugly: "Comrade Dongfang, did I say that criminals are indulged? If I remember correctly, I talked about tactics when I talked to you last time! It's not that criminals don't catch them, but don't rush to catch them! I I also want to charge tonight and wipe out Chiang Kai-shek's millions of troops tomorrow morning. Is it possible? Is it realistic? If you charge in front, you won't be afraid of being shot behind you? We are now fighting sideways. It’s not that you don’t know the situation! You said you were great and stepped down, and I told you: I didn’t have this idea, never! Why? I am confident that I will do better than some comrades! The country and the people have trained me from a college student to a senior party cadre , I have expectations for me, and I don't want me to recklessly fall under the black gun of my comrades!"

Li Dongfang never imagined that Zhao Qigong would be so impassioned. Zhao Qigong tapped his teacup and continued: "Is there any real shelter for criminals? Yes! There are many provinces and cities, I dare not say it is common, and the area involved may not be small! If he is not found by the higher authorities, he will report If you don’t report it, the cluster case will become an individual case, the major case will become a minor case, the major matter will become minor, and the trivial matter will become minor! When I first heard about this kind of thing, I was also very angry, and I was as excited as you are now. Today I will not If you are angry, you can understand it. Sheltering corrupt elements is just a phenomenon, and the factors behind it are very complicated. Almost all of them involve many political and economic interests of a region or a unit. There is at least a part of politics and a part of society. study!"

Li Dongfang couldn't help but interjected, "I'm afraid there is still a black thick school!" Zhao Qigong agreed, "That's right, we should add a black thick school." Then he continued, "Compared with these places, what is our Xiajiang matter? Ah? If no one makes a big fuss, why? As for making it so earth-shattering? You may also know that the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has already intervened in Tian Zhuangda's case, and Wang Peisong, the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, went to report to the big boss every day, but he didn't say a word in front of me!"

Li Dongfang said: "Old leader, since you already know that you are passive, you should strive for the initiative!" Zhao Qigong sneered and said, "How can I fight for the initiative? Go and cry to Zhong Mingren, saying that I have been the secretary of the municipal party committee in Xiajiang for eight years, and I have used a group of bad cadres? Including that Chen Zhongcheng?" Li Dongfang said calmly: "At least you used Chen Zhongcheng wrongly. Zhong Mingren suppressed Chen Zhongcheng for several years in the position of deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. You raised him up as soon as you came up. Then he was the director, then the standing committee member, Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Comrade Zhong Mingren raised different opinions at the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. You still went to work, and reported him as a member of the Standing Committee in less than half a year. This is not to shirk responsibility. I am using this person. The person who has repeatedly reminded you is not upright."

Zhao Qigong couldn't hide his frustration: "Then, what should we do now? You should at least hold on for me first!" Li Dongfang shook his head and said firmly: "No, this person must be taken down!" Zhao Qigong was taken aback: "Li Dongfang, are you asking for my opinion, or are you reporting to me?" Li Dongfang said: "The opinions were solicited last time, and this time I can only say that I have informed you. Besides, I am not afraid of your anger. I still suggest that you talk to Comrade Zhong Mingren, including Chen Zhongcheng. What happened in the case of Tian Zhuangda. It is up to you to suggest to the Provincial Party Committee that Chen Zhongcheng should be dismissed from the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee. This is much more proactive than our municipal Party Committee’s proposal to the Provincial Party Committee. This may be the only thing I can do for you now. What I did, I hope you understand."

Zhao Qigong stared blankly at Li Dongfang for a long time before asking: "Comrade Dongfang, what if I don't do this?" Li Dongfang said in a word: "Then I have to give a full account to the Provincial Party Committee on behalf of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee!" The weight and tone of these words made Zhao Qigong fall into painful thinking. Li Dongfang thought for a while, and then said with a heavy tone: "Old leader, up to this moment, I still regard you as my friend and comrade, and I still regard everything that has happened as a deviation in your understanding. Of course, if you When you insist that I must explain all this to the provincial party committee, I will definitely seek truth from facts, including your fear that the Tian Zhuangda case will be used by others. You are not indifferent to corrupt elements, but you will act later. Clear attitude..."

Zhao Qigong couldn't take it anymore, he sat on the sofa and waved his hands again and again: "Dongfang, don't talk about it, don't talk about it now, give me a few more days, let me think about it, think about it carefully, my mind is very messed up now, Really messy..." Li Dongfang was inconvenient to push further, and sighed: "Old leader, then I will wait for a few more days." After all, Li Dongfang left without waiting for Liu Lulu to come downstairs to see him off. When he walked out of the gate of Zhao's house at No. 2 Liuyin Road, Li Dongfang walked heavily and felt very heavy.

The matter is very clear, if he really speaks out all this on behalf of the Xiajiang Municipal Party Committee, Zhao Qigong's political future will be over, and his conscience will also be blamed: Zhao Qigong did not treat him as an outsider, and Chen Zhongcheng's illegal actions in the Tian Zhuangda case The event was told to him by Zhao Qigong in a private conversation, and it was casually discussed by two old partners drinking Wuliangye.Then, his adherence to the bottom line of principle will definitely pay the price of humiliation!In the future, someone will point to his back and say: This is a guy who sells friends and seeks glory. He is desperate for his own political interests, and even sells his old partners and old leaders.I'm afraid that even the big boss Zhong Mingren will look down on him, maybe he will think he is weak.Zhong Mingren had suffered a lot from making small reports, and he didn't like the cadres under him making small reports in front of him.

I really hope that Zhao Qigong will save his political future and his personality that may be humiliated in one fell swoop. He is willing to wait a few more days, even if he takes a little political risk for this, and endures a little humiliation. As long as Zhao Qigong Function took the initiative to talk to Zhong Mingren and the provincial party committee.
