Chapter 15 Chapter Fourteen

Wheat smuggling in the middle of the night—was discovered—a desperate pursuit—the public security department intercepted the grain ship—removed from the post of secretary of the Political and Legal Committee In the meeting room of the County Water Conservancy Bureau, Ge Yuncheng, Secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, was presiding over the meeting.Xiao Kejian, Zhou Xingbiao, Xu Qizheng and Gao Yijian attended the meeting.Outside, Lan Xiaoping was sitting next to Guan Yeping.Guan Yeping listened silently, he didn't take notes. Ge Yuncheng said: "Now several prominent figures in Yinan County have become clearer, and the general idea of ​​the problem has come out. Huang Youren fled in a hurry. He grasped many important clues, and many cases were broken. Last night, the County Public Security Bureau made one move Get rid of this small group of villains and gangsters in the county. Not only are the masses mobilized, but their backstage is also panicked. As far as we know, after the meeting of the four teams of the county yesterday morning, a small number of people panicked. You don’t let them collude and act , that is impossible. But that can only leave further traces of their crimes. Now I want to hear everyone's opinions."

At this time Guan Yeping came in, he didn't sit down, he stood there and asked, "How about the deputy head of the county court?" Gao Yijian said: "This vice president is called Wei Yuhong. He is not a judge. He is a heinous villain. He can be called a tyrant in Yinan County, and the materials he has already obtained are enough to sentence him to 15 years in prison. But the vice president of the court They are cadres managed by the county people's congress, and they have to pass through the people's congress." Lan Xiaoping said: "The National People's Congress will hold a meeting today, and he can be arrested tonight."

Guan Yeping said: "The county court will also solve the case involving other people. After Wei Yuhong was arrested, Xiaoping was responsible for sending people to pick up Tao Xiuling, send her home, and arrange her family's life." Guan Yeping Ping turned around and went out after speaking. Gao Yijian first spoke and said: "I have an idea, whether it is possible to 'invite' in a few important people and let them explain the problem." He made the word "please" very long and the tone was very strong.Zhou Xingbiao said: "I think the time is not yet ripe. It is a good thing for them to expose some problems. At present, we must seize the evidence as soon as possible."

At this time, an armed police soldier knocked lightly on the door, Lan Xiaoping walked to the door, opened the door a crack and asked, "What's the matter?" "Someone looking for you". Lan Xiaoping turned around and walked up to Ge Yuncheng and said in a low voice, "I've made an appointment with the head of the organization department of the county party committee, I'll go." Ge Yuncheng nodded, and Lan Xiaoping came downstairs, only to see Zhang Qiaoyang, the head of the organization of the county party committee, standing at the stairs on the second floor.Zhang Qiaoyang is just in his early 40s, tall, with a thin face and wearing a pair of myopia glasses.Lan Xiaoping nodded to him, and the two entered a room.Pointing to the bed, he said to Zhang Qiaoyang: "Sit down! Please come to discuss something. You are a member of the Standing Committee of the County Party Committee and the Minister of Organization. But you were transferred from another county, and the time is not long. However, you should deal with the situation here. I have some understanding. Regarding the issue of cadres, we can’t act rashly now. But last night when the County Public Security Bureau was destroying the gang of vicious young gangsters in the county, Min Changfa’s son ran away. Xu Lin from the Public Security Bureau went to his house to search for Min Dejin, and Yan Changfa called You Binjian asked him if he knew about the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, but You Binjian was very upset. For this reason, I think that at this time, Yun Binjian should be removed as the secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee! What is your opinion? "

Zhang Qiaoyang said: "It's okay to avoid it, the key is who will be in charge! At present, the thinking of the standing committee of the county party committee is also relatively complicated!" Lan Xiaoping said, "I'll be in charge." "Of course you can take part-time job, but you have too many things, can you take care of it?" "As a matter of expediency, let's make a decision like this. You notify the Standing Committee to convene according to the usual practice. The best time is this afternoon or evening." Guan Yeping stood up and added: "The director of the National People's Congress and the chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference attended the meeting."

After seeing off Zhang Qiaoyang, Lan Xiaoping stood at the stairs on the first floor.Just as he was hesitating, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a high nose bridge, a big mouth, and gray hair looked back in a panic, looking back from time to time.When he broke into the gate, he found a person standing at the top of the stairs. He strode forward and asked, "Leader, are you the leader of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Lan Xiaoping looked at the man with sweat on his face and plaster on his clothes, and asked, "Is there something wrong? Please go upstairs and speak slowly."

They went up to the second floor, and Lan Xiaoping took the man into a room and said, "Sit down first, and I'll call the leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission right away." He was about to go out when he turned around and poured him a glass of boiling water. He went up to the third floor, entered the meeting, walked up to Ge Yuncheng, and whispered, "Someone wants to report important information to you." Ge Yuncheng said: "Please continue to study, I will go." He followed Lan Xiaoping to the second floor, entered the room, and said to the middle-aged man, "This is Secretary Ge of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Feel free to report to him if you have anything to do. Don't worry."

Ge Yuncheng held the man's hand and said, "Why are you doing this?" The man said: "Secretary, last night, I accidentally discovered something important at the pier of the Yishui River. I couldn't figure out what was going on at the time. I was about to hide to find out, but they discovered it. Two people chased me , I ran for twenty or thirty miles in one breath, and then hid in the pig stables before I got rid of them. I was so tired that I slept all night by the haystack, and slept until dawn. After dawn, I was afraid of being discovered, desperately I ran back, so I ran and hid all the way, and finally saw you."

Ge Yuncheng pointed to the cup and said, "Drink some water and speak slowly." He gulped down a full glass of water, and Ge Yuncheng poured him another glass.He calmed down a lot, and narrated the scene of last night in panic. Last night, when Hou Xiguang took Wang Dengsheng to the Red House Hotel, rows of large sailboats were parked on the pier of the Yishui River.The porters panted heavily and carried the heavy sacks to the ship. A worker gasped and said, "Why don't you dress up during the day, and put one foot up and one foot down in the dark at night." Another worker said: "Or double the shipping fee! Okay, as long as we have the money, we will do it!"

The manager with the flashlight said, "No talking!" It was late at night, and under the twinkling stars, the Yishui River shone with light in the microwave.The river flowed unhurriedly to the east.Motor sailboats full of sacks left the shore with the sound of "tuk tuk tuk" diesel engines, and shot through the water like arrows.The waves beat against the river bank, making a crashing sound.Until the large motor sailboats full of wheat disappeared into the darkness, the sound of the "tuk-tuk-tuk" diesel engine was still echoing over the river. The on-site director was a short and fat man, who kept running back and forth, wiping the sweat from his forehead for a while, and smoking heavily for a while.Suddenly there was a "beep beep" sound in his pocket, he quickly took out the mobile phone, put it to his ear and whispered: "Hello! This is Zhong Yu. Oh, Director! More than half of it is loaded, okay, speed up ,sure……"

Hou Xiguang turned off the phone, lay down on the bed with all his clothes on, and then let out a thunderous snoring sound. Since the implementation of land contracting in rural areas, Yinan County has become a famous grain-producing county in the whole province and even in the whole country, and tens of thousands of tons of grain are shipped to other places every year.In the past, it was transported by car, but a large truck can only tow 10 tons at best.For this reason, the Provincial Department of Grain invested in the establishment of a pier near the county seat on the south bank of the Yishui River, and a large grain warehouse was built near the pier.In this way, a motor sailboat with a maximum load of 70 to 80 tons can transport a large amount of grain from here. This large batch of wheat was sold to two merchants in Shenzhen, which Hou Xiguang had already negotiated at the market price.The lowest price is 3.8 cents per catty, while Hou Xiguang trades at 3.5 cents per catty.Millions of yuan in huge profits have been taken from *.But with such a large number, he must let Wang Dengsheng and others sign the contract.Unexpectedly, Wang Dengsheng was suddenly dismissed, and Hou Xiguang panicked, so he adopted the method of smuggling food and signing contracts at the same time. In order to further lower the price of wheat, those two businessmen conspired against Wang Dengsheng, so that they sold 60,000 tons of wheat for only 30 cents per catty. There is also a distance of nearly 100 meters from the grain warehouse to the Yishui River wharf.The food is all carried on the ship by the workers bag by bag.There were at least dozens of porters. Although a sack of wheat weighed 200 catties, none of them called "Hao Zi" and only panted silently.Four people on each boat were handing out bamboo sticks for the final count. Not far from the pier, a man looked at the ants-like crowd in the dark, and he felt a little strange.So he bent his body and slowly moved forward along the river bank. He gradually saw clearly that a large number of workers were transporting the grain from the warehouse to the ship.Why not run during the day?Why do these workers who like to call "Haozi" the most on weekdays keep silent?A series of questions flashed through his mind, and he decided to figure it out. In an instant, it appeared in his mind that he met a person who called himself "Guan Ping" when he was eating on the side of the road that night, and they called him Guan Buping.Since then, the county town has been boiling, and Wang Dengsheng was suddenly dismissed.Last night, the gangster gang was busted.A large number of case handlers from provincial and municipal discipline inspection commissions came to the Water Conservancy Bureau.Isn't it all connected?His mind galloped for a while, and he forgot where he was. He tumbled and fell on the river embankment.Suddenly a flashlight shone on him, and the man shouted, "Who?" He hurriedly dodged, but where to hide.Immediately afterwards, two men yelled loudly and ran towards him.He got up and looked around, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly. At this moment, he felt nervous, thinking, if he was caught, he would suffer from flesh and blood at least, and at worst his life would be lost!what to do? To the north is the river, to the east is an asphalt road, and to the west are warehouses and docks.There is no escape to the west and north, nor can the asphalt road to the east.The only way of escape is to go south.This is a rice field. The rice in the field has already headed, but there is water in the field. It is difficult to pull out as long as you step on it.At this critical moment, the man lifted a rock under his feet and rushed up the embankment. The two men chased after him. He took advantage of the moment when the two men chased over, and threw the big rock back.Those two people had no time to dodge, the first person tripped over a stone, and the one behind also fell down.At this time, the man who was being chased had already run down more than 10 meters. The two cursed and got up quickly, and chased after him again.The man ran eastward desperately, and soon came to the asphalt road. He crossed the road in three steps and two steps, and ran towards a corn field ahead.The two men were in hot pursuit, relying on the flashlights in their hands, to give chase. No matter how hard he tried to get rid of these two people, they were like two pliers, clamping him tightly.I don't know how far he ran, and he felt exhausted.I thought, it's over!When I looked up and saw a village, I entered the village from an alley.When he was hesitating, he saw a pig stable beside him, so he jumped and rolled into the low pig stable.Those two people chased to the front of the village and looked at the messy houses. Almost every house had an alley, and they could hide anywhere.They stood there, shone randomly with flashlights for a while, and had no choice but to turn around and walk away, cursing. After they left, the middle-aged man heaved a long sigh of relief and crawled out of the pig stable. Walked to a haystack, lay down and fell asleep, who would have slept until dawn.He opened his eyes and recognized it for a long time before he realized that he had been chased for more than 20 miles. Ge Yuncheng looked at this middle-aged man, with his thin body and strands of white hair. A sense of sympathy rose in his heart, and he said passionately: "Thank you for providing us with important information, you wash your face immediately, and I will ask the cafeteria to get you something to eat." Ge Yuncheng was about to call for someone, but Guan Yeping stood at the door and said, "Yuncheng, I'll go out for a while." The moment his eyes rested on the middle-aged man opposite Ge Yuncheng, a person popped up in his mind, He exclaimed in surprise: "Old Dong! Is it Old Dong?" The middle-aged man looked around and saw that this person was the middle-aged stranger he had met at dinner that night. He happily went up to him, held Guan Yeping's hand tightly and said: "Don't worry, why are you here?" Ge Yuncheng looked at them very strangely and said, "How did you know each other?" Guan Yeping laughed and said, "The first friend I met in Yinan, they gave me many important clues. His surname is Dong, Just call him Old Dong!" Old Dong turned to Ge Yuncheng and said, "Secretary, he said his name was Guan Ping, and we all gave him the name Guan Buping." Ge Yuncheng said: "You know who he is..." Guan Yeping immediately interrupted Ge Yuncheng and did not let him continue. He asked, "Wei Qingquan, Qin Gang, and that young man named Li Bai, are they all right?" Old Dong said excitedly: "You don't know, shortly after you broke up with us, this county has become more and more lively. The police chief Huang Youren ran away, and the county party secretary Wang Dengsheng was dismissed yesterday, and the little hooligan was arrested at night. It’s so satisfying! Those guys are probably like ants on a hot pot!” Old Dong laughed until his eyes were slit, and he asked again: "who are you?" Guan Yeping didn't answer his question, but pointed to Ge Yuncheng and said, "Call him if you need anything!" Old Dong said: "Then can our little brothers still come to see you?" "Yes. But through him." Guan Yeping pointed at Ge Yuncheng and said with a big smile. Ge Yuncheng sent Lao Dong to the cafeteria and told him to wash his face and have a good meal.Then Ge Yuncheng came to Guan Yeping in a hurry, and discussed with Guan Yeping the situation reported by the old Dong just now.They decided there was something wrong.It was decided that Gao Yijian and Zou Zheng would bring a few more people, and quickly go to the grain depot to bring the person in charge there, and ask them separately. In the grain depot, I found the fat man named Zhong Yu, who claimed to be the director of the grain depot.Gao Yijian took him to the third floor of the Water Conservancy Guest House and asked: "Where did you take your bulk of wheat last night?" Only then did the fat man know that things had been revealed, and he replied in a panic, "That was sold a long time ago..." "Who did you sell it to?" "Shenzhen……" "Who is from Shenzhen?" "I don't know, Director Hou contacted him personally." "Then why are you secretly transporting them at night?" "It was also arranged by Chief Hou." "How did they get there?" "Probably enter the Grand Canal from the Yishui River, enter the Yangtze River at Jingning, and then enter the East China Sea from the mouth of the Yangtze River, go along the East China Sea to the South China Sea, and stop at the mouth of the Pearl River." Gao Yijian looked at his watch and asked, "When did the last boat leave the pier?" The fat man thought for a while and said, "It's more than four o'clock before dawn." Gao Yijian said: "The situation you reported must not be told to anyone, including your deputy chief. If you tell him, you will be responsible for the consequences." Zhong Yu left.Gao Yijian immediately came to see Ge Yuncheng and Guan Yeping. Guan Yeping said: "We must block this batch of grain immediately. There must be ulterior transactions involved. I suggest that Comrade Zou Zheng immediately contact the Provincial Public Security Bureau to win their support. Zou Zheng will bring 20 more elite soldiers , Transfer five good cars, go straight to Jingning, and intercept the grain transport ship at the intersection of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River. At the same time, contact the Provincial Department of Grain and store this batch of grain in the grain depot of the Provincial Department of Grain." Ge Yuncheng said: "I agree with Secretary Guan's opinion." Zou Zheng said: "The County Public Security Bureau only has three good cars that can be used, and one car is left as an emergency backup. There are still three cars missing." Guan Yeping said: "Comrade Lan Xiaoping and the director of the government office will be invited Come here and use the best car in the county." Then he said to Zou Zheng: "Go back immediately and organize your forces, and three cars will arrive at the gate of the County Public Security Bureau in half an hour." Hou Xiguang signed a contract with Guda and Weiyu, and he didn't get a check for 2 million yuan until the last boat left the Yishui River wharf.So he fell asleep in the Red Mansion Hotel contentedly.It was almost noon when I woke up.He originally wanted to sleep after lunch, and find a beautiful woman to have fun at night.At this time, the phone rang, and he lazily turned on the phone, and the voice of Organization Minister Zhang Qiaoyang came: "Is it Chairman Hou? Where are you?" Hou Xiguang was a little surprised and said, "I'm outside, what's the matter?" "At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Standing Committee will be held in the Standing Committee meeting room. You are invited to attend the meeting." "Then it's waived. It doesn't matter if you are a non-voting attendee. Minister Zhang, can you tell me something?" "You will know when the time comes. I have notified you. If you want to ask for leave, you can go to Secretary Lan." Hou Xiguang didn't pay much attention to Lan Xiaoping, he was really afraid of Guan Yeping, especially his sword-like eyes shining with cold light, really, he didn't dare to look him in the face! Zou Zheng and Deputy Director Xu Lin took 18 heavily armed policemen, boarded five cars, and drove directly to Jingning under the lead of a Santana police car.Three hours later, five vehicles had parked on the north bank of the Yangtze River.Zou Zheng let Xu Lin guard at the mouth of the Grand Canal, and he came to the Provincial Public Security Bureau.Deng Hui, Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, has already contacted the Provincial Grain Department.A large number of people quickly blocked the mouth of the Grand Canal.At dusk in the afternoon, a long fleet of sailboats, loaded with sacks, came honking their horns.The water patrol who had been waiting there waved the red flag and stopped the first boat.The leader was a small man who spoke Mandarin with a southern Fujian accent. He shouted loudly: "We have legal procedures, what are you doing?" The big patrolman said: "Please show the procedures of the Food Departments of the two provinces!" The little man said: "Now the reform and opening up, free trade, we buy things with money, and we haven't violated the law, what are you doing!" He waved to the driver on the boat and said: "sail!" Immediately, the diesel engine started "tuk-tuk-tuk", and the big ship rushed forward. The big patrolman waved his hand, and the speedboats parked in the middle of the water headed straight for the big boat.One by one, heavily armed public security officers jumped onto the boat.The little man panicked, and two police officers grabbed his arms and tied him to a speedboat.The first boat stopped, and the others followed in succession in the middle of the water.Deng Hui ordered loudly into his mobile phone: "All teams will dock the boat immediately, each team will dock the boat immediately, try not to cause conflicts, and bring the people on the big boat to the shore to gather." At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the Yinan County Party Committee, nine members of the Standing Committee sat at the conference table. Hou Xiguang also attended the meeting on time.Lan Xiaoping reported the reaction of the masses after the decision to eradicate the gangster group.Then he said: "Another topic today is about the Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee." Just after Lan Xiaoping said this, You Binjian twitched all over his body. The secretary of the political and legal committee is only a department-level position, and there is no important comparison with him, the deputy secretary of the county party committee.In other words, under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter much whether it is concurrent or not.However, under the current situation, it is obviously not a good sign to move him as secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. Lan Xiaoping looked at You Binjian and said: "According to the recusal system in the party, when discussing the issue of leading cadres themselves and their immediate family members, they should be avoided. But Lao You's part-time job is not an important position, so you can listen to it. Now I would like to invite Comrade Zhang Qiaoyang, Minister of Organization, to introduce the situation." Zhang Qiaoyang opened the notebook. In fact, he didn't want to talk about such an embarrassing thing, but Lan Xiaoping insisted on telling him. If he didn't say it, who would say it? He cleared his throat and said, "The position of Secretary of the County Political and Legal Committee was decided at the Standing Committee meeting in December last year, and Comrade You Binjian, Deputy Secretary of the County Committee, concurrently served. Now, according to the current specific situation of so many departments in the County Political and Legal Affairs Committee, it is proposed to the Standing Committee for discussion. Comrade Bin Jian no longer concurrently serves as secretary of the county political and legal committee, and Comrade Lan Xiaoping, acting county party secretary, will also serve as secretary of the political and legal committee." Lan Xiaoping said, "Please talk to members of the Standing Committee." You Binjian was the first to speak: "I agree." Then everyone agreed. In the end, Lan Xiaoping said: "The Organization Department, please go through the appointment and dismissal procedures immediately." The venue was silent. Lan Xiaoping was about to end the Standing Committee meeting when Hou Xiguang's cell phone rang, but he didn't dare to answer it and turned it off quietly.But he was anxiously looking forward to leaving the conference room. Lan Xiaoping didn't have any concluding words, but he didn't announce the end of the meeting, but said in front of the Standing Committee members: "Chairman Hou, what have you been up to lately?" Hou Xiguang was preoccupied with the things on the phone, but he didn't hear Lan Xiaoping's words.Lan Xiaoping felt that he was restless, stood up and said, "Chairman Hou, what's wrong! What's making you restless!" Only then did Hou Xiguang hurriedly say, "No, it's nothing..." The meeting was over, Hou Xiguang strode out of the meeting room, and was the first to go down the stairs quickly.As soon as he got into the car, the phone rang again. He hurriedly turned on the phone, and Ling Guda's voice came: "Old Tang, you are fucking playing with us!" He said, "What? What's going on?" "You are still pretending to be confused, the food has been withheld!" "How is this possible!" "Who sold it? Tell me, why did a large number of public security officers in Jingning seize the fleet forcibly! You want to compensate us for all the losses! This is a matter of tens of millions of yuan!" He could no longer hear what was being said on the phone. He only felt that there was darkness in front of him, and he collapsed on the back seat of the car. In the meeting room of the Standing Committee of the County People's Congress, Zhu Tongwu, director of the National People's Congress, sat in the middle of the rostrum, surrounded by several deputy directors, and 14 members of the Standing Committee sat under the stage.Zhu Tongwu briefly explained the main problems of Wei Yuhong, vice president of the county court, and asked the Standing Committee members to remove him from the post of vice president. Members of the Standing Committee unanimously supported it. That night, Gao Yijian led four police officers to find Wei Yuhong at a restaurant banquet, and handcuffed her immediately.Wei Yuhong tried to resist, but was kicked to the ground by the police officers. Gao Yijian had sharp eyes and quick hands, and handed down his gun.
